Chapter 1671: Chapter 749: One Sword
As Daoist Qing Yan finished speaking, the team began to accelerate.
Initially, they thought that, given the strength of their small squad, and considering this place wasn’t even a Land of Gathering Evil, they wouldn’t encounter any danger.
Unexpectedly, even in the outer area of the Land of Gathering Evil, such fierce Great Demons roamed about.
This was indeed a bit surprising.
However, upon further thought, encountering any demons in the wild is actually normal.
The peril of the wilderness lies in its unknown dangers.
And through this encounter, not only Fang Yu became more honest, but the others also began to tense up, silently following Daoist Qing Yan forward, becoming much steadier and more reliable.
About an hour later, after clearing several Little Demons that even Fang Yu was too lazy to deal with, they finally reached the safe place that Daoist Qing Yan mentioned.
"This is the place. We’re not far from Melted Heart Cave now, so let’s rest here tonight."
Daoist Qing Yan first checked the area, then smiled and spoke to the group.
Fang Yu looked around and noticed that the place was just a small flat area carved into the mountain wall.
The ground was covered with dry grass piles, remnants from when others had rested here before.
Looking up, they could see water droplets occasionally dripping from the pitch-black above.
This seemed to be one reason the place serves as a temporary camp.
Buzz.
As Daoist Qing Yan lightly clasped his hands together, a thin barrier appeared before Fang Yu, looking out was like seeing a Gaussian blurred image, unclear and hazy.
Fang Yu reached out and poked it; his finger could pass directly through this fuzzy membrane.
"Just a simple precaution. If demons attack, I’ll handle it."
Daoist Qing Yan seemed to misunderstand Fang Yu, thinking he was worried.
Since Fang Yu was mistakenly thought to have a remarkable perception ability earlier, Daoist Qing Yan had been talking to him more.
After rushing almost all day, they could finally take a short break.
The group relaxed, each finding a corner to either close their eyes and meditate or clean their weapons.
Fang Yu also found a corner and half-sat against the wall, not expecting Old Demon Feng Yahu to come over.
"Can I sit here?"
The tone was blunt and cold.
Fang Yu looked up, barely missing having "Keep Out" written on his forehead.
But...
Step.
Old Demon Feng Yahu had already seated himself, tidying the straw on the ground, and laying down on his side.
"..."
Can’t this old demon roll away!!
Do you really think you’re one of us!
Fang Yu felt frustrated, but wasn’t visibly upset.
Though he didn’t know what Daoist Qing Yan planned to do with this demon, it was clear that this guy couldn’t stay in the team forever.
Others cast glances but quickly looked away.
And the team had started to split into cliques.
For example, Dongfang Aotian actively moved his seat to Fatty Jia’s side.
They seemed to be conversing, though they must have used some method, as no sound came out.
Fatty Jia was clearly unhappy, revealing displeasure on his face.
As Fang Yu wondered what topic they could have, Dongfang Aotian suddenly stood up abruptly and started walking over.
Fang Yu: ???
What’s going on? Are we fighting?
The hostility from Dongfang Aotian throughout the journey was palpable, though Fang Yu didn’t know where it originated, he knew from Dongfang Aotian’s demeanor, a surprise attack at any moment was likely.
Frankly, since gaining strength, Fang Yu hadn’t had a proper fight with a top-tier contender yet, if Dongfang Aotian wanted to strike, he wasn’t afraid.
However, as Dongfang Aotian approached, Old Demon Feng Yahu lying on the ground was the first to stand up abruptly.
"What do you want?"
Old Demon Feng Yahu coldly asked.
Dongfang Aotian didn’t even have the slightest interest in acknowledging him, directly standing in front of Fang Yu.
"..."
Fang Yu also slowly stood up at this time, but remained silent.
He wanted to see what Dongfang Aotian was up to.
And then, Dongfang Aotian spoke.
"They say you have abilities similar to Yunyun."
Cold, contemptuous, and hostile.
Fang Yu frowned slightly, his gaze drifting past Dongfang Aotian, towards Daoist Qing Yan seated behind.
But Daoist Qing Yan didn’t look this way, as if he wasn’t concerned about the situation.
"Don’t look anymore, I didn’t come to make trouble, I just came to confirm if you really have the ability, to avoid delaying the team’s rescue mission."
Returning his gaze from Daoist Qing Yan, Fang Yu calmly looked at Dongfang Aotian.
"What ability I have is none of your business. Got a problem, go to Daoist Qing Yan."
"You!"
Infuriated.
Dongfang Aotian isn’t the type who easily holds his temper, so naturally, he was provoked.
Yet in the next instant.
"Dongfang Tong."
It was Daoist Qing Yan’s voice.
On the brink of explosion, veins now standing out on his forehead, Dongfang Aotian became as stiff as a monkey with a restraining spell, forcibly swallowing his anger.
He pointed at Fang Yu.
"I’ll be watching you!"
Throwing down a menacing remark, Dongfang Aotian obediently returned to his seat, though what he was muttering to Fatty Jia was unknown. However, from the occasional sinister stare toward this side, it was clear his dissatisfaction grew increasingly unmasked.
