"Can't you sense the danger?" Wang Long asked helplessly.
Zhang Mingyi also replied with a wry smile, "Maybe I don't think this is particularly dangerous for me..."
Jiang Xue whispered, "It's those vines. When we fell, we touched them. The Serpent Demon Clan living here has probably completely integrated with the trees and vines in the forest. As soon as an outsider touches them, they will likely be detected immediately."
"Yes, that analysis makes sense. Quickly, think of a way to create a diversion!" Zhang Mingyi shouted. At the same time, he snapped his fingers, and dozens of small stones on the ground immediately flew out like cannonballs, shooting in all directions and cutting the surrounding vines into pieces.
A series of warning sounds rang out again.
"...You are dispersing the targets, but doesn't that still let them notice we're at the center of the alarm?" Wang Long said helplessly.
Zhang Mingyi was taken aback and then said, "You're right. We need to leave this area quickly!"
The three of them immediately ran to the left, circling around the outer perimeter of the demon clan's lair. Jiang Xue used the Water Dragon Technique to create several ice figures along the way, placing them in the trees. Once they melted slightly, they would trigger mechanisms to distract the enemy's attention.
However, no matter how well they executed their little tricks, more and more serpent demon guards slowly caught up with them, and even ahead, demon clan members began to appear to block their path.
"...I think we're about to be surrounded!" Wang Long shouted loudly.
At this moment, Zhang Mingyi no longer had his usual carefree demeanor; he said solemnly, "Hold on a little longer. I can sense where those people are; it's just ahead. Let's converge there!"
After saying that, the three immediately split up and ran in three different directions to divert the enemy's attention.
Wang Long headed left, and unfortunately for him, that direction was close to the Serpent Demon Clan's lair. Before long, he was targeted by several serpent demons and quickly quickened his pace, leaping onto a branch.
He could even hear the shouts of more than a dozen snake demons around him.
“Legacy of Thunder Beast…” Suddenly, he called out softly, and a flash of light appeared. A beast crackling with thunder and lightning emerged from the void, its bright eyes wide open as it looked at him, occasionally shaking its head and glancing around, seemingly quite happy to be in the outside world.
“Yiguang, go distract those enemies chasing me. Try not to engage them in battle. If you find yourself in a tough spot, return to the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll immediately, understood?!”
The Primal Thunder Beast let out a low growl like a cat, shaking its head as if somewhat dissatisfied.
Wang Long urged, “I know you’re very powerful! But this operation is to scout the enemy's movements. If we really start fighting on their turf, it won't end well! There will be opportunities for you to act in the future, so just go!”
Only then did the Legacy of Thunder Beast nod, suddenly leaping off Wang Long's shoulder. Its body transformed in an instant, becoming seven or eight feet long, resembling a fierce tiger as it dashed into the dense forest.
The commotion caused by the beast immediately drew all the attention of the approaching enemies. Wang Long only needed to stay in place for a moment before he felt that all his pursuers had followed the Legacy of Thunder Beast.
He let out a sigh of relief and activated You Long Step, weaving through the tree trunks without encountering any vines or making a sound.
“There should be a way ahead; it shouldn’t be far now. I wonder how the other two are doing…” Wang Long thought anxiously as he saw that he was nearing the edge of the dense forest.
Suddenly, a faint voice whispered in his ear: “This way…”
He quickly shrank down and landed on the ground, only to see Jiang Xue and Zhang Mingyi already at the edge of the forest, hiding behind an ancient tree waiting for him.
“Have you shaken off those pursuers?” Zhang Mingyi asked.
“Yeah, there shouldn’t be any problem. They went in another direction…”
"Very well, I can sense that those people just now have delivered the corpse of that leader to the front camp, which is likely where the Serpent Demon Clan holds their meetings."
"That leader possesses considerable strength, so he must not be an ordinary individual. Once he is dead, it is certain that the higher-ups of the demon clan will need to be informed. Let us quietly approach and see if we can gather any useful information."
Wang Long glanced over quietly and said in a low voice, "There are so many demon guards surrounding the camp; how can we possibly gather any information? Even getting close would likely lead to being discovered!"
Zhang Mingyi kicked aside some fallen leaves and chuckled softly, "We just captured a few guards; we can swap clothes with them and sneak around the camp."
Wang Long was delighted and said, "That's indeed a good plan..." He picked up the clothes and was about to change.
Jiang Xue saw Wang Long about to take off his clothes and her face suddenly flushed red; she turned her head away.
Wang Long then realized something was amiss and quickly stopped his reckless actions, repeatedly apologizing, "Sorry, sorry, I forgot you were here..."
Zhang Mingyi added, "That is indeed a problem; there are no women's clothes here... How about you wear one of the guards' outfits?!"
Jiang Xue's expression darkened. "I won't wear someone else's clothes..."
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. Wang Long quickly said, "Alright then, you stay here to keep watch. Elder Zhang and I will go gather information. If anything happens, we'll contact you."
Jiang Xue remained silent but gently nodded.
Due to Jiang Xue's presence, the two men silently took a set of clothing each and went behind a tree to change. After giving Jiang Xue a few reminders, they swaggered out from the bushes.
The main camp of the demon clan was heavily guarded with no less than three checkpoints. Although Wang Long was now wearing the uniform of a demon guard, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Once exposed and caught in the hands of the Serpent Demons, who harbor deep hatred for Dragon City, it could be considered a narrow escape.
"Password!"
Before reaching the first checkpoint, the two encountered a group of guards returning from the thicket. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Zhang Mingyi shouted loudly first, displaying quite a bit of momentum.
The guards were taken aback, and the leader quickly said, "The coiling of dragons and snakes awaits the right moment!"
Zhang Mingyi revealed a satisfied smile and nodded, saying, "Go ahead!"
The captain was somewhat astonished and instead bowed to Zhang Mingyi, saying, "Yes," before leading his team away, pondering who this officer was, as he seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Zhang Mingyi smiled and said, "Let's go!"
Having used the internal password of the Serpent Demon Clan, the three checkpoints did not pose much difficulty for the two. However, when they reached the front of the tent, the guard at the last checkpoint would not allow them to approach.
"We have urgent matters to report regarding the recent enemy attack!" Wang Long said urgently.
"The elders are discussing important matters inside the tent and have instructed that no one is to disturb them!" Two Serpent Demons each held a steel fork and crossed them to block Wang Long and his companion's path.
Wang Long angrily retorted, "Can you bear the responsibility for delaying the alarm due to an enemy invasion?!"
The guard replied sternly, "I only follow the elders' orders; you cannot enter!"
Wang Long was about to say more when Zhang Mingyi stopped him, saying, "Forget it, brother. Let's wait outside for now. We can report once the elders have finished their discussion."
Wang Long snorted and said, "Alright then." After speaking, he shot a glare at the guard, who remained silent and withdrew the steel fork, standing on either side.
This was naturally a performance by Wang Long and Zhang Mingyi; neither of them dared to genuinely report to the tent at this moment. If the guard compromised, it would indeed be difficult for them. Fortunately, the demon clan had strict laws, which allowed them to escape a calamity.
Standing outside the tent, Wang Long perked up his ears to listen carefully to the sounds inside the Main Tent, but he could only hear vague noises that were indistinct.
However, he knew that Zhang Mingyi had profound cultivation and possessed the Zhang Family's secret technique, Heavenly Gift, Divine Ability, Unfettered Heart, which gave him exceptional perception abilities, so he was not overly worried.
Wang Long could only hear a little girl sobbing softly, and he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. Setting aside the conflict between the demon clan and Dragon City, the three of them had no grievances with this little girl. Yet, they had just met her and had killed her biological father in front of her! It seemed that if this girl grew up, she would surely strive to avenge her father!
As he was lost in thought and sentiment, he suddenly noticed that Zhang Mingyi's expression changed sharply as he gave him a knowing glance. Wang Long understood immediately and hurriedly said, "It seems the elders will be discussing matters for a long time; we should take our leave first!"
Zhang Mingyi smiled and secretly gave Wang Long a thumbs up. Just as he was about to speak, an aged yet resonant voice suddenly came from within the Main Tent.
"Since you are here, why hurry to leave?!"
