Chapter 287: 286 This… seems a bit exciting! Chapter 287: 286 This… seems a bit exciting! A night of unceasing turmoil finally passed.
As the sky began to brighten again, Jiasinta and his two companions appeared in a secluded area on the outskirts of Artlu Canyon.
“They really can run.”
Sitting on a rock, Jiasinta looked at the item in his hand and revealed a sneering smile.
In the hands of this Demon Clan officer, a series of sharp cries, like the wailing of a baby, kept resounding.
They were the cries of a monster.
The monster had a small pair of dragon wings, and its body resembled a segmented locust, only about the size of a palm, tightly grasped by a ferocious hand that resembled a dragon claw.
This ferocious hand that resembled a dragon claw was naturally Jiasinta’s.
Jiasinta was tightly holding the little monster, ignoring its struggling and screaming in his hand.
Although the little monster’s body oscillated between solid and illusory, like a mirage swaying and shaking, it couldn’t break free from Jiasinta’s hold.
“Don’t waste your energy,” Jiasinta said with a cold laugh, “We’ve long since analyzed your characteristics and know how to contain you who lacks true form. No matter how much you struggle, you can’t escape.”
As he spoke, Jiasinta, still holding the little monster, looked towards Jesse and Lis at his side.
“How is it? Any movement?”
Jesse and Lis, who had been closing their eyes as if sensing something, opened their eyes and shook their heads towards Jiasinta.
“No abnormalities detected, Master.”
“It’s the same on my end.”
Jesse and Lis responded with some regret.
“Is that so?” Jiasinta wasn’t surprised and muttered, “As expected, those bastards wouldn’t easily reveal themselves. It’s going to be the same as before, isn’t it?”
Jiasinta did not immediately dispose of the Demon Infant in his hand because he wanted to see if he could lure out the Primordial Demon behind it.
Unfortunately, as Ai Yi mentioned before, the oldest, most mysterious, and most powerful members of the Old Demon Clan Faction typically do not expose themselves. They pass the Demon Infants to others, using others to perform rituals and disrupt the world.
It’s likely the same this time. They aren’t here, or even if they are, they wouldn’t expose themselves.
“For them, a Demon Infant is insignificant. They wouldn’t make a move unless the ritual had succeeded, the Demon Infant had devoured the sacrifice, and grown to a level that can’t be ignored. They wouldn’t just watch such fine material be dealt with by us, right?”
It had to be said, it was a disappointment.
Jesse and Lis then spoke up.
“Then why doesn’t the Master hide in the shadows as planned before, waiting until the ritual is successful and the Demon Infant devours the sacrifice, and then capture the Demon Infant?”
“Wouldn’t that get the people from the Primordial Demon to act?”
Jesse and Lis were puzzled.
Jiasinta burst into laughter.
“Even if I wanted to do that, I would need the strength to do so,” Jiasinta stated helplessly, “There are too many demons in this canyon. If one becomes a Refined Demon through the ritual, the quality of the sacrifice will likely be exceptional. Besides, there is a Demon Lord rumored to be at Level ninety or above. If it becomes the final Refined Demon, consuming all the Refined Demons in the canyon, just imagine to what extent its power would grow.”
And if such an excellent sacrifice was devoured by the Demon Infant, the extent to which the Demon Infant would grow was equally understandable.
“Faced with such a monster, even I don’t have the confidence that I could catch it alive or handle it alongside the thugs from the Primordial Demon.” Jiasinta pursed his lips and continued with a sense of helplessness, “However, if I had known that the Master had awakened and come to the Human Realm, come here, then I might have tried.”
If it were his young master, managing such a thing would probably be quite easy.
Of course, that presupposes the young master would exert her true power.
But if she were to use her true power, Artlu Canyon would probably no longer exist.
Besides, Jiasinta wasn’t the sort to have his master handle everything personally.
“A mere Demon Infant isn’t worthy of the master exerting her true skills. Even if the Primordial Demon appears, unless they were a core member of the leadership, there’s no reason to request the master to intervene.”
A cold glint flickered in Jiasinta’s eyes.
“However, their activities have finally spread to the Human Realm. I’m afraid the Seventh Demon is really about to be successfully born, right?”
If that thing is born, by then, I guess even the Three Realms won’t have any peace.
“The Demon creation plan has entered its endgame, which means the Primordial Demon is about to slip up soon.”
Since the plan is in its final phase, it surely means that the actions of the Old Demon Clan Faction will become more and more overt and more likely to catch the attention of others.
“I can’t wait to see what tricks you’ll pull.”
Having said that, Jiasinta’s hand suddenly made a forceful move.
In his hand, the continuously shrieking Demon Infant was brutally crushed, leaving no intact corpse.
At the same time, within the atmosphere of Artlu Canyon, the sound of something shattering suddenly emerged.
The flow of Magic Power gradually returned to normal, signaling to everyone that the ceremony called Refined Demon had been terminated.
But the matter was far from over.
Because deep within the canyon, there were still a large number of Refined Demons lingering, not annihilated.
And the Royal Capital had also received news, learning that the Kingdom Knights had encountered a natural disaster and had already started sending people to the canyon.
Undercurrents continued to surge.
However, for the time being, it had nothing to do with Shane and the others.
Shane and his companions, after resting for the night and finally regaining their spirits, left the camp.
Next, they prepared to leave Artlu Canyon.
“Let me introduce a new companion to you.”
Before leaving, Shane said to Vivian and her group with a smiling face, immediately followed by a whistle.
The next moment, a massive dark figure swooped in from the sky and appeared before everyone.
The Black Dragon, named You Lin, let out a ferocious roar, its daunting presence rising with the roaring sound waves carrying sand and dust over everyone.
Vivian and the others all fell into a stupefied state.
Lu Muya pointed with trembling fingers.
Merica was dumbfounded as a wooden chicken.
Vivian gasped in shock.
Even Tielle’s eyebrows twitched fiercely, nearly drawing her weapon.
“Its name is You Lin.”
Shane revealed a brilliant smile to the stunned crowd.
“Let’s ride it back home.”
Upon hearing this, the group including Vivian shivered.
This…seems a bit thrilling!
