Chapter 1052B – The Abyss’s Will Moves
When Qin Yu entered the room, he isolated it from the outside. He said, “Feature, even if Great Deer City is broken through by the beast tide, your safety and my safety will not be an issue, so why should we help them? The abyssal demon race is the mortal nemesis of my living world, so the more that die the better.”
Feature gave him a strange look. “Qin Yu, I’ve always thought you were a smart boy, so why are you speaking so stupidly right now?”
Qin Yu had an annoyed look. “If you have something to say then say it. Don’t play word games with me.”
Feature coldly sneered, “You are still not convinced that you’re stupid. Let me ask you something, how many times have you heard about the changes to the beast tide outside?”
“Just today…” Qin Yu’s complexion changed. “That’s not right, this is the second time. When I went to Thousand Eye Temple, that Old Fox also mentioned it.”
“Humph! Humph! Humph!” Feature snorted loudly. “Are you finally realizing it? You don’t need brains to see that these two old demons have regarded you as me, an incomparably powerful demonic refining master. They don’t even have enough time to flatter you, much less make small talk with you. And just now, how alert were you? When Old Fox was speaking with you, he was glancing at you the entire time. He was clearly looking for some reaction from you.”
Qin Yu rubbed his forehead. “Hold on, let me think about it. This means they suspect that the change in the beast tide is related to me?”
His eyes widened. “This is simply nonsense. I’m just staying in Great Deer City, so what does the outside beast tide have to do with me?”
Feature curled her lips, “Then you really are wrong.”
Qin Yu’s face stiffened. He looked at her.
Feature kicked his leg and arrogantly said, “What are you doing?”
Qin Yu bit his cheeks, his complexion darkening. “Don’t tell me that the change in the beast tide is related to you.”
“Whew, I said you were stupid but who would have guessed you would answer the question in the blink of an eye.” Feature smiled brightly, “Congratulations, you’re right!”
Qin Yu’s field of vision flashed black and he nearly vomited blood. Congratulations your head! What is there to congratulate!? This was just like sitting at home and then having a comet crash down on you!
He took a deep breath and roared out loud, “Stop wasting time with me. Tell me exactly what is happening!”
Feature blinked her eyelashes. “It’s simple. We shouldn’t have appeared in the abyss to begin with, but we have actually stayed here for a long time. Ordinary demons might not realize it, but we cannot hide the truth from the abyss’ will. Thus, it has to find a way to erase us from the abyss. This is probably what is happening right now.”
Qin Yu felt his head aching and he resisted the urge to scream out loud. “You said that the abyss’ will has locked onto us? Why didn’t you say that before!?”
“Even if I told you, there was nothing you could do about it. If so, I’d rather not tell you and let you pass a few more days in peace. See how well I treat you? Hey, what are you looking at me like that for? You have no idea how to differentiate the good from the bad!” Feature rolled her eyes. As if sensing he would storm away at any moment, she took a few steps back and said, “There’s no need to be afraid. The abyss’ will sounds scary but it cannot directly move against us, otherwise it wouldn’t have employed such a stupid method like utilizing a beast tide.”
Qin Yu solidified into a block of wood. He trembled and said, “You’re saying that this eruption of the beast tide is also because of us?”
No wonder he had heard so many complaints from demons before. This beast tide simply didn’t follow the rules of previous years. It came when it did, leaving them all unprepared and suffering great losses.
Now, the reason had finally been found.
If the demons that died from the beast tide could be considered as Qin Yu’s merits…mm, even if it was just a tenth, then he would certainly obtain a shocking reward once he returned to the living world.
But this was not the key point. The key point was how the two of them could survive!
Damn it! Great Deer City could not be broken through, it absolutely could not. Otherwise, while other abyssal demons would still have places to live, the rest of them would undoubtedly die.
What nonsense, if Qin Yu was surrounded by a beast tide led by three Demon Commander level demon beasts, then even if he grew several times stronger, with his speed he wouldn’t be able to run away and survive!
Looking at Qin Yu’s unfriendly expression, Feature rolled her eyes a few times, thinking that she was just telling him the truth. It was just that Qin Yu had been implicated by her, as the abyss’ will would not target him.
She thought about it earnestly and decided not to say anything. She was worried that Qin Yu would turn around and directly flee Great Deer City.
Old Fox and Black Astral were already waiting anxiously. When Liu Huo and his maid returned, they found that his complexion was paler than before.
“Cough. I originally didn’t want to meddle in the beast tide, but since Feature has shown a sense of compassion, I will make an exception this time.”
Qin Yu waved a hand. Feature proudly walked over and placed a jar in front of the two.
Old Fox and Black Astral were stunned. Their eyes widened and filled with heat.
Inside this jar was…
Feature coughed and looked at them with even more pride. “That’s right, it’s just as you think it is. Inside this jar is demon medicine refined by the Abyss’ Number One. The medicine within is a newly refined kind called the super mighty invincibility pill!”
It is me! The one who refined the pills is me! You two blind fools!
Super mighty invincibility pill…
Okay, the name is unimportant, it really is unimportant. We simply don’t care about it at all.
Old Fox forcibly suppressed his instinct to twitch his lips. He took the jar and opened it. After a sniff, he felt the strength within his body begin to stir and his face immediately lit up with joy.
However, he was not a true Demon Commander after all. As for what the exact effects were, he would need Black Astral to confirm.
He passed the jar over. Black Astral took out a pill, and only after looking at it for a long time did he put it away. He respectfully stood up and bowed, “Mister’s methods can truly seize the good fortune of the abyss. You managed to refine such an earth-shaking demon medicine.”
The natural talent of the Hellhound Clan was an amazing sense of smell and strong perception. Although he hadn’t tested it yet, he could already determine the power of this demon medicine.
Super mighty invincibility pill…it really was super!
Qin Yu frowned, his complexion still heavy. “I can give you this demon medicine, but does Great Deer City have the strength to resist three Demon Commander level demon beasts?”
Old Fox’s eyes brightened. He clenched his teeth and bowed, “Mister Liu Huo, the only true Demon Commanders in Great Deer City are Black Astral and the City Lord. In order to ensure everything goes smoothly, we still need another Demon Commander to help.”
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows, “You aren’t referring to me, right?”
Old Fox was startled. He quickly waved his hands and said, “Mister, please don’t think that; I would never do anything that would put you in danger. In fact, I have an old Demon Commander friend of mine who will be arriving in Great Deer City within the next two days. But if I want to convince him to assist us, I will still need your help.”
“What kind of help?”
Old Fox lightly coughed. “As long as mister permits, we can bring him over and introduce him to you.”
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. He thought that this old fox really knew how to take advantage of the situation. He was clearly using him as a chip, so what old friend was he talking about? Your face is an old friend!
But strictly speaking, all the demons of Great Deer City were doing their best to slay demon beasts and prevent them from breaking through the city walls. In a sense, they were fighting so that he and Feature could live.
He would endure it!
Seeing Qin Yu nod, Old Fox was ecstatic. “Then there’s no problem. Mister, please rest assured. We will do our best to resolve Great Deer City’s crisis!”
When he finished speaking he left with Black Astral.
…
I am called Shadowless Demon. To be exact, this is the title given to me by those demons who hate me, respect me, and are in awe of me. And as time passed and more and more demons called me this, I gradually forgot my name and took on the name of Shadowless Demon…in any case, this name was suitably aggressive and overbearing. At the very least, it was much more pleasant to the ears than my original name.
As for what my original name was, that is all the past. It isn’t important anymore, so there is no need to talk about it.
Since I am called Shadowless, most people could guess which aspect I am most proficient in. That’s right, it is my technique where I go in without a shadow and leave without a trace. Countless demons shiver upon hearing my name, and throughout my adventures travelling the layers of the abyss, I have yet to miss.
Of course, this is also because I understand my limits and never provoke an existence that surpasses me. For instance, certain formidable Abyssal Kings.
Two days ago, I received a message. The one who sent it was an old fox that I became acquainted with long ago. Although when I thought about it later, I should have been fooled by him.
But a loser had to acknowledge their loss. Since I left behind a token, I had to abide by my promise.
Whatever he wanted, I, Shadowless Demon, would easily be able to obtain it. Once I passed that object into his hand, the favor I owed him would finally be paid in full.
It was just that this Old Fox wasn’t in a good situation. As I travelled over, I came to understand what sort of danger Great Deer City was in.
Thinking about it, once I arrived, Old Fox should be asking me to help save the city. Don’t ask me why I know. I am simply that outstanding, otherwise I never would have survived after offending so many strong people.
As for whether or not I would agree, hoho, of course I wouldn’t agree. And not just that, I would hesitate a bit, give him a ray of hope, and then thoroughly cut him off as a way of fulfilling my past sorrow.
Thinking this, I could no longer suppress the urgency in my heart. I wanted to immediately rush to Great Deer City.
But after calculating the time, I wasn’t that far away. I would arrive in at most half a day.
You ask me if I am worried about the beast tide outside of Great Deer City? If I said I wasn’t afraid, that would be a lie.
This was a vast scale where tens of millions of demon beasts were raging and wreaking havoc. Even if a formidable Demon King level existence were to fall into their encirclement, they would die from pure numbers alone.
While I am confident in myself and have a prideful heart, I will not be arrogant to the point where I think I can compete with a Demon King.
But don’t forget my name. I have no ability to slaughter my way out of the beast tide, but sneaking my way through is incomparably simple.
Hoho, that is who I am. I am like the smoke and fire of the abyss.
My name is Shadowless Demon, and I speak for myself!
