Chapter 496: 198. Withdraw Early Defeat the Demon Mother (8.3K Words - Early Month Request for Monthly Tickets)_3


Seek good fortune and avoid danger, delve deep into the demon race, hide oneself somewhere, then track a young divine infant, completely within one's abilities.

The divine infant Ancestral seemed to have received some command, heading continually in a certain direction.

The corpse demon Song Yan closely followed.

...

The next day...

Early morning.

The wolf demon Song Yan and Hu Yue once again stepped into the underground maze.

Outside the maze, the divine infant insect demon in a red cloak and silver mask was still there, with the same speaking style as before, and none of the passing wolf and fox demons noticed anything amiss, all chanting "Ancestral" as usual.

Song Yan did the same.

However, he knew in his heart... today this Ancestral was not the Ancestral of yesterday.

And the divine infant insect demon also quietly nodded in response.

The wolf demon Song Yan walked calmly by its side, and at the moment of passing by, perhaps due to being close enough, his pupils subtly contracted, and he uttered three words in his heart: 'Vilampu!'

The Primordial Ancestor of the Vilampu clan, Vilampu, had quietly arrived here, clearly placing great importance on this training.

After Song Yan came to realize Vilampu's presence, he did not pause, but continued with his usual demeanor.

But today, since Vilampu had come, it provided quite a bit of guidance.

A day passed.

Four wolves and four foxes bade farewell to Vilampu, who nodded slightly.

...

...

Night falls...

The four wolves and four foxes gathered together, eating hotpot.

Because of the wolf demon Song Yan's presence, not a single demon devoured humans today, they were all eating premium beef and lamb instead.

Yet, none of them had any appetite, each one sitting around the hotpot in a daze, their gazes glazed, looking worried.

No matter how dense the wolf demons were, after spending all day with their partners, they already understood the current situation.

A fox demon suddenly said, "Today's Ancestral is different from before."

Immediately, it started to slowly recount the details it had observed.

A wolf demon said, "What you're saying doesn't prove Ancestral has been replaced."

The fox demon replied, "In subtle places, life and death are decided, how could you fools who think with your crotch know?"

No wolf demon refuted this statement.

They had long since given up thinking for themselves, anyway, having fox demons as partners.

The wolf demon Song Yan quietly stirred the boiling hotpot, placing meat sticks into the pot to cook, then handed them to the demons beside him.

His mind was always on the Vilampu he accidentally saw today.

"Transforming" along with "Formless" allowed him to hide seamlessly, even under Vilampu's watchful eye, he hadn't been noticed in the slightest.

But today was only the first day.

His "Demon Sound Whale" wasn't a power of bloodline, but mimicked through "Formless," which inherently held slight differences.

Could Vilampu discover anything amiss?

...

...

In a cave mansion...

Vilampu sat quietly, feeling a slight discord in its heart, but couldn't grasp the reason for this emotion.

It was an extremely subtle and hidden anomaly, like an aberration wrapped deep in layers of disguise.

This was its intuition, yet using magic to think through it, everything seemed normal.

For ordinary demons, such emotions didn't count for much, but Vilampu mulled it over.

Yet it couldn't pinpoint where the problem was.

'Tomorrow, follow today's route carefully, sense what exactly went wrong.'

...

...

Song Yan pondered repeatedly, still deciding not to take the risk, not to gamble on "Vilampu not seeing through."

Although this identity was good, if the other party was just an ordinary divine infant, there would be no accident, but the other party was... Vilampu, the primordial ancestor of the Vilan demon race, existing from the ancient era to now, shrouded in mystery.

Even if it's a complete loss, there's still the distinction between active and passive.

Song Yan planned to change.

This whole affair was about responding to moves with counter-moves.

When experts face off, if one is greedy for an advantage and harbors a lucky thought, they will always end up with no place to bury their remains.

Song Yan dared not be careless.

So, when he handed out another beef bone, he sighed to the demons, "After all this training, in the end, perhaps we still cannot escape death. We were squeezed out within the clan, sent here, already sentenced to death."

Seemingly ordinary words, yet those thick wolf lips were laced with enchanting allure, instantly breaching all the demons' psychological defenses.

The eyes of the fox and wolf demons suddenly showed a panic-stricken look.

A worried wolf demon asked, "General Chengyi, you say... what do we do?"

The wolf demon Song Yan bit into a piece of meat ferociously, chewing with large bites, his gaze sinister, suddenly... he took out a token from his bosom.

That token was given by the divine infant Ancestral before, used as a passage order to obtain resources everywhere.

Bam!!

The wolf demon Song Yan slammed the token on the table, baring his fangs, speaking coldly, "Since we are to die anyway, why not escape! Split up and run! We can always get out!"

The enchantment of the demon's sound pulled their psychological fracturing to the maximum.

These days, the fox and wolf demons were already panicked, and now... this silent demon's sound directly shattered them.

"Alright!"

A fox demon said, "Since we're to die anyway, let's split and run! With this token, we can quietly leave the city tonight."

Hu Yue said, "I've cultivated our clan's secret technique 'Heart's Desire Illusion,' capable of casting illusions on all wolf demons. Though the Vilan demon capital is heavily guarded, it's likely those guarding the city can't see through our illusions. Coupled with General Chengyi's token, it's enough to escape!"

Song Yan said, "After escaping, don't stay with foxes or wolves, that makes for too big a target and will easily be discovered."

His voice carried a strange magical pull, not a single demon opposed.

...

That night, the demons trained for many years in the Vilan demon capital fled together.
