Saying this, Fire Rat lifted his foot and prepared to go out to seek revenge on Xiang Xueer, but was blocked by Wolf King with his Wolf Tooth Blade: "Fire Rat, don't worry about that girl for now. The Demon Lord has given orders, and we have more important matters to attend to!"
At this moment, Fire Rat would not obediently listen to him. He felt that he wouldn't even be able to sleep at night if he didn't avenge this grudge. He turned around and glared fiercely at Wolf King: "Wolf King, mind your own business. If you want to do something, go do it yourself!"
Since Wolf King's blade remained unmoved, it only fueled Fire Rat's temper. He reached out and grabbed the edge of the blade: "What? Do you really want to block my way?"
Wolf King understood Fire Rat's temperament. If he continued to obstruct him now, a fight would surely break out between them. Reluctantly, he swiftly withdrew his large knife.
Seeing this, Fire Rat turned and walked forward. Behind him, Wolf King's voice came: "Fire Rat, I know you really want revenge right now, but the task assigned by the Demon Lord is related to that girl!"
Upon hearing this, Fire Rat immediately stopped in his tracks and looked sideways at Wolf King with his Red Eyes: "Oh? The Demon Lord is already planning to take action against that girl?"
Wolf King slowly walked up beside him and nodded: "Don't worry, this time the Demon Lord's mission will definitely interest you. It's a thousand times more interesting than killing that girl."
As he spoke, he leaned close to Fire Rat's ear and whispered a few words. Instantly, a sinister smile appeared on Fire Rat's face: "Indeed interesting. I can't wait to see what her expression will be at that time."
Fire Rat and Wolf King exited the cave; one quickly turned southward and flew away. In an instant, two black wisps of mist disappeared into the sky.
Meanwhile, Xiang Xueer and her companions had indeed found a small village named Xiawa Village by noon as she had predicted. Duck was crazily gnawing on a roasted duck, his face so greasy that it nearly shone.
"Hey, Duck, didn't you say you wouldn't eat roasted duck? That's one of your kind!" Gunaara stared at his eating habits in shock, almost jumping back in fright; he looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Woo woo woo!" Duck's mouth was stuffed with meat, making it impossible for him to speak. He managed to mumble a few words through the gaps in his mouth: "I haven't eaten meat since that time I had a free meal with you! Forget about Duck; I could eat an entire elephant!"
"Ha ha!" Fat Ancestor chuckled softly, then picked up some meat from his bowl and placed it into Duck's bowl. "Look at this child, so hungry. Here, eat more, it's the time for growing!"
Duck was moved to tears, turning to look at Fat Ancestor, and the duck leg in his mouth instantly fell out. "Fat Master, you really are good to me!"
"Ha ha!" Fat Ancestor shyly rubbed his belly. "Ha ha, don't think too much about it. I've been on a diet lately, so I'm trying not to eat meat!"
Xiang Xueer and Qingtian were eating while continuously discussing the current situation. "Qingtian, if someone in your Exorcist group finds the Million Demon Army, when do you think you'll receive news?"
"With the flying eagle delivering messages, it should arrive in half a day, at most a day!" Lan Ran Qingtian frowned and thought for a moment. "The entire Cavern has been moved; there was just a huge pit left on the ground. I keep thinking, moving something that big—forget about who has the ability to do it—how could they do it without anyone noticing? It can't be that simple!"
"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense!" Xiang Xueer took a peanut from her bowl and placed it on the table. "Look, if this spot is where the sinkhole was, then in all four directions—north, south, east, and west—there could be hiding places for the Demon Army. But this object is so large that moving it would definitely be laborious. I wonder if the Cavern hasn't actually gone far at all."
After Shirley's analysis, Qingtian thought it seemed reasonable. Could it be that their search had been fundamentally flawed all along? She turned to Xiang Xueer. "How about we go back to the location of that Cavern and search again?"
Xiang Xueer nodded. "That's what I was thinking too. Instead of searching aimlessly like this, we might as well return and recheck; perhaps we can find some clues."
The two of them agreed on their thoughts. The next task was to head towards the Nether Abyss location. She took out a map and pointed to a spot above. "We'll set off after eating; it's over two hundred kilometers south. If we hurry, we might arrive by tomorrow evening!"
"Huh? We have to travel again?" Duck immediately felt frustrated upon hearing this. He stretched out his hand and called to the waiter. "Waiter, pack me twenty roasted ducks!"
"Twenty? Duck, you've already eaten three! You're such a glutton!" Gunaara exclaimed with wide eyes as they both protested. "What's wrong? I'll eat them on the way; otherwise, I won't get any meat for days!"
"I remember Duck is supposed to be a vegetarian?" Fat Ancestor said while pinching the fat on his chin. "Ah, indeed I've been out of touch with the world for many years; things have changed!"
Ling Zhu looked at the several people lost in thought, her hand touching the small medicine bottle hidden in her sleeve, feeling anxious inside. Oh my God, what should I do? On one side is my friend, and on the other is my husband. How should I choose?
After leaving Xiawa Village, the six of them bought fast horses and hurried towards the Nether Abyss. By the time night fell, they had only covered about half the distance. With no village in sight and no inns around, they made a fire in an open space and casually prepared some porridge and dry rations for dinner.
Ling Zhu and Gunaara were in charge of cooking. She turned to Gunaara and said, "Go get the dry rations and put them by the fire to roast; dinner will be ready soon!"
"Okay!" Gunaara turned to leave. Ling Zhu intentionally sent her away, then took out the small bottle that Wolf King had given her. He said this was Mind-Controlling Powder, which would only cause drowsiness without harming anyone. Since that was the case, she had no choice but to apologize to her friend; she needed to save her husband first.
Steeling herself, she opened the small bottle with trembling hands and poured the white powder into the pot, quickly stirring it with a spoon. By the time Gunaara returned, she had already put away the bottle as if nothing had happened.
"Hey? Ling Zhu, why aren't you eating?" Xiang Xueer asked after taking a sip of porridge. Noticing Ling Zhu's worried expression while everyone else was eating, she asked with concern, "You've been absent-minded these past few days. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Oh, it's nothing, nothing at all! It's just a symptom every auntie experiences!" Duck said while munching on porridge and duck leg. Normally, Ling Zhu would have reacted with a punch, but today she remained silent, which was very unusual.
Xiang Xueer walked up to her and suddenly felt light-headed and dizzy. Just as she found it strange, there was a loud 'thud' as Duck dropped his bowl, unable to keep his eyes open. "Oh dear, I'm so sleepy!"
Sleepy? It was still early for bed! Before Xiang Xueer could respond, Gunaara and Fat Ancestor also slumped over and fell asleep. Then Qingtian, rubbing his temples, muttered to himself in confusion, "This is strange; I feel so sleepy too."
What’s going on? Suddenly realizing something, Xiang Xueer panicked. Could it be an ambush by enemies? She quickly turned to grab Ling Zhu. "Ling Zhu, how are you? Do you feel unwell?"
