Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 175 2 The Demonic Conspiracy

Mona and the others returned to the Myriad Beast Tribe. Suddenly, they realized Yutu hadn't come along to see Bailan off. This was rather odd. Turning around, he glanced around, then grabbed Mengmeng and asked directly.

"Have you seen the map?"

Meng Meng shook her head and said, "Mother, I didn't see him. Didn't he go to see Senior Bai Lan off?"

"No. We only just discovered he was missing. Could it be that he has been staying in the Beast Tribe? Where are the two priests?"

"The two priests are in the priest's house. Let's go over and ask them."

Huncao and Guiyuan were the first to approach Priest Fu. They felt extremely upset. Not only had they lost Bai Lan, but if they also lost the only thing Bai Lan had left, they would never forgive Bai Ji.

When they arrived at the priest's house, Huncao said anxiously:

"Please, both of you, divine the direction and location of the map. Is Bai Lan's situation a blessing or a curse?"

The two priests pinched their fingers. Hmm. They closed their eyes and slowly calculated. When Yun took out the tortoise shell, he rubbed and scraped it against the ground again and again.

"Master Priest! Have you found anything?"

Priest Yun shook his head.

"No. What happened with Bai Lan can be considered a blessing or a curse. Blessings and curses go hand in hand. The direction of the map is impossible to deduce. He must have used the runes to cut off everyone's means of communication. Alas!..."

Huncao and Guiyuan looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes. "What should we do? If we can't find the map, how are we going to explain to Bailan..." Guiyuan muttered to himself.

At this time, Mengmeng interrupted and said, "Maybe we can go to the places that Yutu often goes to, maybe we can find some clues." Everyone thought it made sense and decided to act separately.

Soul Grass arrived at the map's room, carefully searching every corner. Suddenly, he found a piece of paper on the table. It depicted a spider, two clouds of black mist, and a bloody knife. Soul Grass instantly understood the map's meaning.

"I'm going to find the Dark Demon and the Sea Demon. Don't worry about me if you want to kill them."

Soul Grass had a thought: it seemed that Yutu was deliberately trying to keep them from finding him. Perhaps he really did have a way to find the two demon gods' hiding place. With this in mind, Soul Grass decided to keep quiet for now and quietly follow the trail left by Yutu to see where he had gone.

Following cautiously along the way, several groups of people had already discovered the two demons' tracks. Near the shallow waters, orcs controlled by runes were busy making animal skins, clothing, and food for the two demons!

Soul Grass hid in the dark, observing the orcs' every move. He found that these orcs seemed to be controlled by some force and their behavior was very strange.

Just as he was pondering how to approach the two demon gods, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a familiar scent. Soul Grass's heart trembled as he sensed the presence of the map.

Following the direction of the breath, he saw Yutu standing on a rock not far away, staring quietly ahead. Soul Grass quietly approached Yutu and asked softly:

"Yutu, why are you here?"

Yutu turned and looked at the soul grass, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I came here following the aura of the runes, which are white and blue, and discovered these controlled orcs. It seems that we have found the right place. However, there are many dangers here, and we must proceed with caution."

Huncao nodded and discussed countermeasures with Yutu.

"Senior, I must avenge Bai Lan. It's useless for you to stop me!"

"Yutu, calm down. Those two demons are extremely thorny. With your current strength, you are no match for them!"

"I know. I just want to find their lair and rescue these orcs controlled by the runes! Bailan sacrificed himself to cut off the Dark Demon's arm. I can't lose face for him!"

"Well said, I support you!"

Bai Chen emerged from the shadows, patting Yu Tu's shoulder and brushing aside his white hair, revealing a hint of blue. Yu Tu and Hun Cao exchanged a glance, silently admiring Bai Chen's foresight. They decided to observe in secret, looking for an opportunity to rescue the controlled orcs.

A few days later, while the two demons were away, Yutu and his companions quietly sneaked into the orc camp. They cast a spell and broke the rune bindings on the orcs.

After regaining their freedom, the orcs burst into tears of gratitude. The map told them that if they wanted to escape the control of the demon god, they must unite and resist.

Under the leadership of the map, the orcs began to plan an uprising. They planned to launch an attack when the demon returned and take back their freedom.

The two demon gods have returned to another continent and are discussing in the dark swamp:

"Dark Demon, your hand?" The Sea Demon stared at the Dark Demon's blackened and burnt arm with disdain!

"This? It's Bai Lan's arm. Back then, he cut off one of my arms, and I took his. We were even, even. Now he's sacrificed his blood to the Living God and destroyed this arm of mine. Don't say it, I'm so used to it that I really can't bear to part with it!"

"Are all these people of yours controlled by this rune hand?"

"Of course, with this rune, I can do any kind of sorcery! Just be direct and brutal! Hahaha!"

The Dark Demon God extended his only remaining finger, a strange rune gleaming on it. He said triumphantly, "As long as we master this rune technology, we can rule the entire Beast World!"

A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the Sea Demon God, "Then let's quickly capture more orcs and expand our power."

"Our continent is about to sink. We must hurry and land from the sea tribe and seize the four continents next to the Lega Forest one by one!"

"Huh? Aren't you going to mobilize people to find the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl and the Earth Spirit?"

"No rush. This is our first fight, and I just wanted to test their strength. I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable, and even let a blood sacrifice of someone as famous as me. I made a profit, a real profit this time."

"Do we still need to capture the Qilin and Phoenix people?"

"Yes, this can't stop. I will be of great use in the future."

The Sea Demon God rolled his eyes inwardly. "Great use? Isn't it just using them to reshape flesh, blood, and tendons? You thought I didn't know. I've tried it all. And you're trying to hide it from me? What's all this boasting!"

"Last time you said the Earth Spirit Pearl was swallowed by an orc. I was there today and didn't sense any pearls. Could the information be wrong?"

"How is that possible? I was there! The leader of the men in black is here, you can ask him!"

The Sea Demon pointed at a man in black beside him, and the man in black nodded repeatedly.

"Boss, I watched him swallow it myself. I wanted to capture him alive and cut open his stomach to get the pearl, but I didn't expect those sea beastmen to rush towards me desperately. I had no choice but to retreat. I'm sorry! Boss!"

"Well, I don't blame you. Pack up and lead a group of people to follow me to Lega Forest!"

However, they did not know that the map and the orcs were preparing for an uprising. When the demons returned to the freshwater tribe in the sea, they would be greeted by a thrilling battle...
