Chapter 649 - The Smitten Demoness (1/2)
Gripping the small wooden puppet, Yang Ling was incredibly excited. The Soul Imprint branded deep within the head of the wooden puppet gave him a sense of familiarity. This doll felt as though it was a part of his body, a continuation of his life!
Life Graft!
After failing time and time again, Yang Ling had finally gained a preliminary understanding of this mysterious Soul Wizard Technique!
”Creating one of these is too troublesome; otherwise, I would like to have a few more!” Looking at the single puppet he had spent so much effort to create, then turning to his massive pile of failures, Yang Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly. He cautiously hid the amulet-like puppet.
He had originally wanted to equip every powerful Magical Beast with a wooden puppet to protect them. Now it looked like that wasn't going to be so easy!
...
”Quick, quick, quick, split up and search, don't miss anything suspicious!”
”Mobilize the vanguard, now!”
The entire Evil Demon Base was in turmoil. Large teams of Abyssal Demons quickly got into a formation under the guidance of their commanders, launching into a net-like search of the surrounding land. After being jolted awake by the formless scream released when the wooden puppet was created, they had instinctively sensed danger and mobilized their troops to find the source of the scream.
There was danger lurking in every corner of the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. Even such a large group of Abyssal Demons couldn't risk being careless, or they might fall under a terrifying siege!
In order to prevent anyone from passing through the area and sneaking into the Moon River, a large number of Abyssal Demons gathered within the base, their numbers reaching into the thousands. Merely mobilizing the vanguard had caused much chaos within the base. Soon, a search team of Evil Demons began to approach the desolate valley.
The Corpse Wizard King quietly came to the front of Yang Ling's tent. ”Sir, there's a team of Evil Demons outside, do we…”
”Rodriguez, don't be nervous. With the screen of Crystal Mist and the protection of the restrictions, they might not notice our tracks even if they were to walk by us. Be careful, and restrain the ripples of energy in your body using the Magical Divine Ring!” Yang Ling waved his hand and layered on a few restrictions, the Soul Crystal in his brain pulsing as it released a large field of Crystal Mist, enveloping the area around them.
Winter was approaching. Thick fog descended on many areas within the Graveyard of Deities and Demons come nightfall. Yang Ling's valley was no exception; thick fog always rose among the lush trees. The Crystal Mist released by Yang Ling seemed no different from an ordinary white fog, and thus it didn't attract much attention.
Just as Yang Ling had said, the Abyssal Demons didn't notice a thing even though they walked right past Yang Ling's group!
The fog was just too thick. The Abyssal Demons couldn't see their own fingers in front of their faces, so they were mainly scanning the area using their Divine Knowledge. The Magical Divine Rings that Yang Ling's people wore could restrain the ripples of energy in their bodies. Coupled with the cover brought about by the restrictions and Crystal Mist, they narrowly managed to avoid the detection of the searching Abyssal Demons!
”Captain, there's nothing suspicious here!” an Evil Demon reported loudly to its commander. They had passed through the area multiple times.
”Then we'll continue searching down this mountain range!”
”Captain, what exactly did we feel earlier that started this search?”
”Who knows? Perhaps an unparalleled fighter was just making his way past the area!”
…
The Abyssal Demons discussed the situation quietly, moving further and further away from the dilapidated valley.
”Commander, should we immediately head to the forest now that the Evil Demons have left?” The Giant Ape King asked, worried that the large group of Evil Demons would return.
