This doesn’t make sense.
Even a small child in Great Xia knows...
The Demon Race is not devoid of intelligence; they just revere destruction. Crafting intrigues and sches is not unfamiliar to them.
Excluding topics related to tier and combat power, the Void Eye Demon, which possesses the ability of "Forgetfulness," is exceptionally functional and best suited for being devious.
In "Spirit Battle Chronicles," the reason the Void Eye Demon can bring forth no small disaster is entirely due to its special ability.
The demonic qi it releases also carries a part of this power.
Even though this Void Eye Demon continuously releases demonic qi to contaminate the surroundings, appearing as if it wants to cause as much pollution to Blue Star as possible before dying, in reality, it might not be that simple.
Those who aspire to the Outer Battlefield or are familiar with the Great Xia’s officially published "High-Risk Demon Race List" know that it’s nearly impossible for a Void Eye Demon to descend on Blue Star alone.
They often descend in cooperation with other demons for cover, or several Void Eye Demons descend together, hiding from Spirit Masters by stepping on each other’s footsteps, and quickly leave the original site to avoid detection, then lay low in the wilderness.
If given a choice, it would never face direct confrontation.
In the mories Lin Guang can recall, Void Eye Demons have appeared before humans for twenty years now, and most of the ti, they cooperate with demons that have the abilities to pollute ether and earth veins, making it very difficult and troubleso to handle if spotted too late.
This Void Eye Demon is likely not unable to flee, but rather it can’t escape because it must provide cover for sothing else that might exist and is not easily movable (whether that is an entity or another demon) — from this perspective, the existence it’s covering likely doesn’t have much combat power; otherwise, the battle just now wouldn’t have only been watched.
Monts later.
Everyone’s status restored, even Chelina, who had unleashed her ether without reservation, had nearly recovered — her recovery ability is astoundingly strong, which Lin Guang suspects is related to her immortal trait.
During recovery, Lin Guang attempted a few tis to blow the whistle to summon the Gale Eagle, but there was no response for several minutes.
This ant the demonic qi was too dense, swallowing the spiritual power fluctuations that transmitted the whistle sound.
However, when he was still on the back of the Gale Eagle, he had already sent a ssage using the token to Director Kong, stationed at the Celestial Ladder Secret Realm, communicating the exact coordinates of the demon’s descent and informing him about the presence of the Void Eye Demon, a suspected special demon, here.
At this mont, reinforcents should already be on the way; the Investigation Bureau’s attention would also be focused here, enabling Director Kong to know and provide support imdiately should anything happen.
However, since he was already here... Lin Guang felt he still had the right to take a preliminary look at the situation himself.
"When we were descending from mid-air just now, from which direction was the Void Eye Demon pursuing Mu Shunying?"
Lin Guang pondered.
The recent battle was quite intense, with high-speed attacks and defenses, and it altered part of the mountain forest’s landscape.
With demonic qi pervading the surroundings and it being very dark, it’s indeed sowhat indistinct.
Fortunately, the girl shook her golden big tail and raised the magic staff in her hand: "Lisa still rembers!"
"In this direction."
......
Monts later.
The four ca to a forest burned by flas over a thousand ters away.
The flas here had been extinguished during the absorption by the Void Eye Demon earlier, leaving the trees charred black, almost the sa color as demonic qi. Even soone like Lin Guang needed the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence to see it clearly unless he got close.
"It seems like the source of the demonic qi release is around here?"
Lisa tilted her head, a bit unsure: "Ugh, I also feel like mory is a bit fuzzy..."
"It’s alright, it’s already very good. The demonic qi released by the Void Eye Demon inherently affects perception."
At this mont, Lin Guang had once again applied the most basic blessings on his three companions and knocked on the inconspicuous brooch pinned to his chest to ensure that the recording Spiritual Artifact, already activated on him, was working properly.
This was originally for recording the process of capturing Mu Shunying but now had just co in handy for another purpose.
"If the hidden thing is in this vicinity..."
Lin Guang fell silent for a mont, seemingly struck by an idea.
"We can do this."
"Follow ."
In the next mont, he stepped forward, pacing in this dark and silent forest, extending his spiritual power to sense everything around him.
While maintaining the basic blessings of his talent, Lin Guang counted pri numbers in his heart at the rate of one per second.
For every one he counted, he would sketch a pri number with spiritual power in his sea of spirit, placing it on the yet-unused Blank Spirit Pattern Slot.
It’s akin to sketching Spirit Patterns.
This way, based on the trait of the Blank Spirit Pattern Slot that it won’t fade unless manually erased, these numbers beca a kind of physical marker unrelated to mory.
The reason for counting pri numbers was to increase the complexity of this activity within the limits of cognitive ability to resist possible interference.
This is the thod recorded in the "High-Risk Demon Race List" that is likely to be effective against Tier Four Void Eye Demons.
Every ten counts, Lin Guang would stop and reflect on the pri numbers he had sketched earlier.
17, 19, 23, 29, 31...
...
263, 269, 271, 277, 281, 283, 293, 307, 311, 313, 317...
Suddenly, Lin Guang stopped, his eyes narrowing.
On the Blank Spirit Pattern Slot, between 271 and 281, appeared an extra 277.
He clearly felt he had only taken ten steps, yet there were eleven numbers.
This ant that the step representing 277 had been forgotten.
"...!!!"
At the instant he realized this, an alarm rang in Lin Guang’s heart, and he almost reflexively looked back in the direction he had just walked.
Even though the place was shrouded in demonic qi and appeared to be a forest of charred wood without seeming to hide anything, he nonetheless gave the order without hesitation.
"Over there!"
"Good!"
Vishdair, who had long been prepared, let out a grim smile.
She held a scarlet crystal stone bomb in her hand, sothing she had prepared while recovering her status earlier, and with her formidable wrist strength, she hurled it with force.
The crystal stones, like a teor shower, cutting through the demonic qi with a sound of ripping air, emitted a dangerous glow during their flight.
Then...
Just at the mont these fierce flas were about to explode, they suddenly dimd.
Because a demonic fla, similar to the one before, blazed intensely out of nowhere, enveloping these flas and suppressing them.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle —
But this also ant... Vishdair indeed forced the opponent out.
And in the next mont, in this quiet place, suddenly a deep sigh echoed, the voice hoarse and bizarre, as if extrely unwilling.
In an instant, a figure appeared slowly on the open ground ten-so ters away.
