“With just the two of us, even if we don’t sleep or rest, how far can we search?
Jiruo, there is strength in numbers.” “There’s still Rosie’s…” Ji Ruo mumbled.
“Meow -(Yes! And me!”
“President, we’re a team. How can we let you and the class monitor do everything?” Xu Dong said. We want to help too.
Our main goal tonight is to find people, not to kill demons. Don’t worry, we won’t hold you back.”
Qu Fei also said,” That’s right. We are also the children’s teachers. We also want to do something for them.””
Ji Ruo rubbed his nose and said, “Alright, everyone follow me closely.’”‘
Everyone was stunned.
“Didn’t you say you were looking for someone? They should be spread out.”
Everyone:
Previously, Ji Ruo had also used [Absolute Sense of Direction] when he was looking for the missing villagers. However, it was not just because the keywords were wrong or something else. The results of the two consecutive throwing shoes to ask for directions were completely opposite!
It could be said that it had not been corrected.
That’s why Ji Ruo can’t find the ‘shaman’.
But now, he began to throw his shoes at them.
“The location of Niu Li’s father’s corpse…” Ji Ruo threw out two shoes at once.
The two shoes were pointing in opposite directions.
“As expected, the keyword is wrong.” Ji Ruo thought to himself.
“Where is Niu Li’s father?”
He threw the shoe again.
The two clean sneakers spun in the air. When they landed on the ground, the heels were pressed together, and the tips of the shoes formed an angle of about
450•
Ji Ruo noted down the angle and threw the shoe over and over again, roughly locking onto the direction. “Everyone, follow me.”
Everyone was speechless.
Scratching his head, Egg-Fried Rice muttered, “”1 suddenly don’t want to go…” “Indeed, this is too hasty…” Red Braised Pork added.
Liang Shixian sighed and said,” Let’s keep up, everyone. You’ll understand once you get to know each other. Ji Ruo’s luck has always been pretty good. Although he looks childish when he throws his shoes, he’s really accurate in finding the right direction. Back in the Myriad Beast Mountain, it was because of Ji Ruo throwing his shoes that we managed to escape danger many times.” Qu Fei said in surprise, “Is the thing so powerful?””
“Yes,” Liang Shixian sighed.” So if Ji Ruo says that fate is in our hands, then God is probably right. Let’s go.”‘
Because the Spiced Spicy Hot and Spicy Dumpling was fully mobilized, Ji Ruo couldn’t sneak out anymore. He could only bring everyone to the entrance of the stronghold to register and report.
The higher-ups were very concerned about the special situation in the new secret realm of the Eight Treasures Stronghold. The strengthened demons in the surroundings had been mostly cleared. The weakest among Ji Ruo and the others had the strength of the Qi Pulse Realm, so they did not have to worry too much.
Moreover, they were out looking for people out of good intentions.
“Be careful.”
Hu Yonglin said seriously,” It’s good to have this intention, but don’t force yourself if you can’t find it. It’s been almost three days. The hope is very slim.”” “Yes, I know. Don’t worry, Brother Hu. We know what to do.”
“We’re also quite short on manpower now. I’m sorry that we can’t go with you, but in the past few days, Gu… Yes, that Armored Warrior has always been active outside. If you encounter any difficulties, you can try to seek his help.”
Hu Yonglin sighed and said, ” I think I know why he dressed like that. With his reputation at the border, no matter where he goes, people won’t like him. If he dresses like that, at least people won’t look at him through colored glasses.”‘ Ji Ruo smiled and didn’t comment.
After reporting to the warriors stationed there, Ji Ruo and the others left the Eight Treasures Stronghold.
It was the first time that Xu Dong and the others left the Eight Treasures Stronghold at night. They were curious about everything along the way. Although they did not run around, they still discussed in low voices.
Two hours later, Ji Ruo and the others had completely left the Eight Treasures Stronghold’s area of control. However,[Absolute Direction] and Luo Xi’s [Enhanced Six Senses] were still pointing forward.
“Oh right, Ji Ruo, why haven’t I seen Ji Xiaoxiao these days?”
On the way, Liang Shixian asked curiously.
They hadn’t seen Ji Xiaoxiao since they came to the Eight Treasures Stronghold. They hadn’t seen her at all in the past two days.
“Did he go back to school?”
“No.” Ji Ruo glanced at the shadow under his feet and said,””That little thing has been practicing recently. He wants to fight side by side with me.” “Practice?” “What kind of martial arts?” Liang Shixian was puzzled. My inner demon told me that it can’t become stronger through regular cultivation.”
“Maybe.”
Ji Ruo didn’t say much, so Liang Shixian didn’t know that not only Ji Xiaoxiao, but even Chen MO hadn’t stayed in Ji Ruo’s hair all this time.
The two inner demons, one old and one young, had recently gathered together to study the Shadow Martial Dao.
Ji Ruo had just unlocked the Shadow Martial Dao and hadn’t studied it thoroughly, so he didn’t say anything.
At this moment, Rosie, who was scouting ahead, suddenly turned around and whispered,””Meow —(Master, I found something!)”
“Oh? What did you find?”
Ji Ruo quickly squatted down.
Rosie pointed to a bush in front of them and said,””Meow —(There’s a faint human blood scent here, and a large amount of disgusting demonic scent. Master, look-
She pushed aside the grass and let Ji Ruo see a group of one-meter-long demonic ants moving in an orderly manner in the distance. They carried all kinds of plants and wood on their backs.
Wherever they passed, the white devil ants that were still empty would use their ferocious mouthparts to bite off the tree trunks. Then, they would work together to carry the tree trunks on their bodies and follow the main group forward.
Rosie leaned closer to the grass and sniffed it carefully. She tilted her head as if she was listening to something. “Meow -(Sister said that it seems to be a group of White Devil Ants. Other than the queen ant, there’s nothing to be afraid of…) Master, what did he mean by not being afraid?) ‘
“…” It’s just very weak.”
The young man turned around and said seriously,” Everyone, be quiet. We might be reaching our destination soon.’”‘
Xu Dong and the others quickly squatted down.”
They all saw the formation of White Devil Ants returning with a full load.
“White Devil Ants?”
Liang Shixian frowned.” The person we’re looking for shouldn’t have anything to do with these white devil ants, right?” The White Demon Ants don’t feed on flesh and blood. Their main food is plant and wood fiber or half-fiber. They aren’t very aggressive and rarely eat humans. Even holy statues won’t react to them..
At this moment, a piece of flat wood suddenly fell from the middle of the white devil ants ‘formation due to the jolt. It looked like someone had cut off a part of the tree trunk.
Rosie meowed,”Meow -“(Master! The smell of blood is getting stronger!”
