Chapter 408 Demon's Lair
"How arrogant! A mere fifth-tier demon, what are you trying to prove to me?"

Two light blades, one red and one blue, transformed into two enormous wolves that appeared behind Ye Bai.

Countless flames erupted from the red giant wolf, the blinding light instantly blinding the Hell Spider's eyes.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes; without the mortal world, all is vanity."

The Sun-Devouring Wolf transformed into a fiery red light and appeared in Ye Bai's hand.

Thousands of fiery red threads appeared in the air, wrapping around the Hell Spider's body.

Ye Bai suddenly pulled, blood splattered everywhere, and the bodies of countless Hell Spiders were cut into several pieces.

The smell of burning protein emanated from the body of the Hell Spider.

It has a pungent and toxic odor.

"It seems that the extent of the demonic invasion of Tianzhong City is more serious than we imagined."

Ye Bai's gaze fell on the two hooded men who had suddenly appeared.

"Indeed, it's much more serious than we imagined."

"Otherwise, the demons have already devoured humans, donned human skin, and are playing house."

"What exactly is the Pet Beast Guild in Tianzhong City doing? How come they haven't even noticed that humans have been infiltrated to this extent?"

When loved ones you spend every day with suddenly change, don't they feel it?

Those who attempted to report the crime were devoured by the demons and became their food.

"Right now, we can't worry about that for the time being."

"Our actions seem to have attracted even more demons."

"Tianzhong City is almost becoming a gathering place for demons."

"Kui Mulang, make your move and finish this quickly."

Jingmu Han took a sip of wine and reminded Ye Bai.

His deer-god hat possesses extremely strong sensory abilities, capable of sensing movements within a ten-kilometer radius.

Jingmu Han felt countless acts of malice coming from afar.

Many demons disguised as humans have revealed their human forms.

Holding the Northern Star Wolf Blade, Ye Bai swung it sharply into the distance.

Endless blades of light flashed by, and the demon that pounced was instantly torn to pieces.

"Let's go, we can't continue, or we'll disturb the other great demons."

Ye Bai greeted Jing Mu Han and Gui Jin Yang.

"Let's go to the demon's lair."

The mechanical horse carried Ye Bai and the others, galloping away into the distance.

The demon's lair is built beneath a famous ancient tomb in Tianzhong City.

Even the terracotta figurines in charge of the exhibition were possessed by demons and became their minions.

However, all the guards were killed with a single blow; Jingmu'an's deer god hat had confused the demon's mind.

Let them kill each other, and soon Ye Bai and the others arrived in front of an ancient stone gate.

In the deep darkness, a faint, eerie red light peeked through.

The ancient stone gate slowly opened, and countless dust particles flew up at that moment.

Behind the stone gate was a long, dark passage. Black water droplets dripped from the damp walls, making a pattering sound, and the air smelled like sulfur.

The stone walls on both sides are carved with strange and eerie patterns, which seem to be totems of some kind of evil force, making people shudder.

The deeper you go, the stronger the sense of oppression becomes. From time to time, you can hear muffled groans coming from afar, as if some unknown creature is lurking in the shadows, waiting for its prey to arrive.

The smell of sulfur occasionally emanated from the cracks in the ground, accompanied by faint blue-green will-o'-the-wisps, making it seem particularly eerie.

Scattered on the ground were many white bones, some of which belonged to demons, and others to strange beasts, making it look quite eerie.

As they ventured deeper into the lair, the space suddenly opened up, revealing a massive underground cavern.

A massive portal appeared inside, and countless abyssal eggs rained down from the rotating portal before landing on the ground.

These abyssal eggs will be teleported in all directions by the secondary teleportation arrays on the ground.

"Kui Mulang, Gui Jinyang, wait for me a moment. I need to observe the teleportation array here and see how to modify it to change the spatial coordinates to the Sea God Abyss."

Jingmu Han spoke to the two of them in a serious tone, his voice low.

Ye Bai and the other person nodded, then looked into the distance.

In the center of the cave was a high, obsidian-like platform, upon which lay a huge shadow.

It stood on the high platform, emitting a deep breathing sound, as if waiting for something.

Various skeletons were scattered all around, some of which emitted faint magical fluctuations, including demons and other strange beasts.

The shadowy figure also had a pair of enormous bat wings, its lower body was made of bull hooves, and it had a long, narrow tail.

Suddenly, the shadow on the high platform opened its blood-red maw, and a chilling aura, accompanied by the scent of death, swept over them, causing the entire lair to tremble at that moment.

It seemed to sense something.

It then plunged headfirst into the portal.

"What kind of guards are those?"

"Judging from its aura, it's at least at the eighth level."

Ghost Golden Sheep muttered to himself, "Luckily, this guy suddenly left, otherwise it might have actually found out."

Beasts of the seventh rank or higher control a domain.

If they had mastered similar investigative techniques, Ye Bai and his two companions would have been easily discovered.

Jingmu Han picked up a charcoal pencil and started scribbling on the paper, while Gui Jin Yang patted the mechanical horse at his feet.

The three mechanical horses then combined to form a spacious little house.

"I coated this hut so that ordinary demons cannot detect it."

"Even the most perceptive demons cannot detect our presence."

"I was almost scared just now, I thought I had been discovered."

Gui Jin Yang patted his chest.

He had altered the hut so that ordinary demons would only mistake it for an ordinary stone.

Time passed second by second, but the guards did not return; instead, more and more Abyssal Eggs were moved out.

"I've got it! With this improvement, those Abyss Eggs will be transported to the Abyss of the Sea God."

Demons know nothing about formations; usually, such intricately designed teleportation arrays are designed by devils from hell.

That huge guard from before looked like it wasn't very bright.

"Jingmuhan, what do we need to do now to change the teleportation array?"

"Ghost Golden Sheep asked curiously."

"It's not difficult; it only requires a few minor modifications."

"I also learned a lot of new knowledge from this teleportation array."

"Send your mechanical bird to move this gem in this formation to this position."

"Then adjust this gem to this position."

Jingmu Han provided the answer.

However, because he spoke too fast, Gui Jin Yang didn't remember.

"Jingmu Han, say it again."

"I don't remember."

Jingmu Han hadn't even spoken yet.

Ye Bai then spoke slowly to Gui Jin Yang.

"See? Young people are smarter."

Jingmu Han found Ye Bai quite pleasing to the eye.

“Jingmu Han, Kui Mulang has awakened the talent of photographic memory. If I had such a talent, I could also remember it.”

"Is every teleportation array adjusted like this?"

Gui Jinyang continued to ask.

"Yes, just adjust it as I said."

"To be honest, it's not difficult. The real challenge is how to seal the demon's lair." "This demon's lair is much larger than I imagined."

"If things go wrong and demons break out, the entire Tianzhong City could become a paradise for demons."

"Ikihan said with a slight unease."

"It's alright. Once the teleportation array changes, we can contact the Pet Beast Guild in Tianzhong City and set it up together."

"Ghost Golden Sheep, I'm entrusting everything to you. Just follow my instructions."

Then, countless nimble mechanical birds appeared.

Gui Jin Yang manipulated these mechanical birds and swooped towards the teleportation array.

They deftly removed a gemstone and instantly filled it in another location.

The teleportation began to slow down the moment the gem was removed.

However, thanks to the timely adjustment by the mechanical bird, it did not have much impact on the internal structure of the teleportation array.

Following Jingmuhan's instructions, Guijinyang made adjustments step by step.

After the final step was completed, Gui Jinyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, that guard didn't come back, or we would have been in big trouble."

As soon as Gui Jin Yang finished speaking, Jing Mu Han covered his mouth.

"Don't talk."

"Kui Mulang, this guy's jinx is really accurate."

"We have to cover his mouth immediately."

Just then, a commotion came from the portal, and a huge bull hoof came through it.

This enormous demon had the head of a giant goat.

It has two sharp demon horns on its head.

He held two huge spiked clubs in his hands and had huge cow hooves on his feet.

It looked down at the teleportation array, and after confirming that the array was still functioning properly, it walked step by step to the throne and fell asleep immediately.

Not long after, a loud snoring sound began.

"My God, this guy is really carefree, but it's probably for the best."

Ye Bai smiled.

"Then our mission is temporarily complete. Let's exit now."

Ye Bai originally thought that he would have to go through a tough battle to achieve his goal.

I didn't expect to complete the task so easily.

"Wait a moment, I need to check with the troops stationed at Poseidon's Abyss to see if any Abyss Eggs have been teleported there."

"If the Abyss Egg is transported to another location, our infiltration operation will have been a complete failure."

Ye Bai lowered his head and thought about it; it was indeed true.

Poseidon's Abyss has been infiltrated by angels, and is now in perpetual daylight, regardless of whether it is day or night.

At this moment, the Abyss Eggs fell from the sky and crashed directly to the ground.

In this Sea God's Abyss filled with light-attribute energy.

Light-attribute energy is like concentrated sulfuric acid to demons.

They are temporarily sheltered by the shell of the abyss egg and will not hatch for the time being.

Once the angelic army arrives, these demons will surely appear and fight a decisive battle with the angelic army.

At this time, the one responsible for guarding the area is the Rooster.

"According to intelligence from Tianzhong City, the Abyss Egg has been moved here."

"The demon statue has also been moved to this secret realm."

"I believe that when the angels descend, they will definitely surprise those big guys."

"Immediately transmit the intelligence via the mechanical bird: the Abyss Egg has descended."

Soon, Ghost Golden Sheep received the intelligence.

"Fall back, the Abyss Egg has been teleported to the Sea God's Abyss."

"Our plan to use one wolf to devour another has succeeded."

"I bet the angels were completely dumbfounded the moment they descended, wondering how there could be so many demons here."

Demons and angels are mortal enemies, the kind of enemies that must fight to the death.

So many abyssal eggs are enough to give the angels a real headache.

The three of them retreated to the outside of the demon's lair.

The task of changing the teleportation array seemed simple, but it still took almost half a day.

Jingmu Han immediately became distressed.

"How should we set up a large-scale barrier?"

After the Abyss Egg was teleported away, the demons here became rootless.

Once the demon's lair is sealed, demons will swarm in like moths to a flame, attempting to break the seal.

"Kui Mulang, go and inform the president of the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild, and tell him to start cleaning up the demons in Tianzhong City."

"Demons have an extreme aversion to light-attribute skills, and they wear human skin to resist them."

"To help you effectively recognize demons, I'll teach you a method."

Jingmu Han drew a big eye pattern on Ye Bai's hand.

"With this pattern, you will be able to distinguish between the real and the fake demons."

In fact, it doesn't need to be that complicated. Ye Bai's Eye of Truth alone is enough to see through the demon in human skin.

However, Jingmuhan's actions gave Ye Bai an excuse.

"Okay, everyone be careful."

Ye Bai summoned the Sky-Devouring Pelican.

The Sky-Swallowing Pelican opened its large beak and gently pecked at Ye Bai's hand with its sharp beak.

“Sky-devouring pelican, take me to that clock tower.”

Ye Bai pointed to the clock tower in the distance and spoke to the Devouring Pelican.

In front of outsiders, the Devouring Pelican did not display any special abilities. Instead, it grabbed Ye Bai's arms with its claws and carried him away from there.

Tianzhong City Pet Animal Guild, President's Office.

The chairman had a black dagger stuck in his chest, and he died on the spot.

The perpetrator was the chairman's secretary.

However, this secretary had two sharp horns sprouting from the top of her head and a pair of bat wings appearing on her back.

Its tail is thin and long, yet very agile.

At this moment, she took out a bright red lipstick and applied it to her lips.

"This old man's vigilance is too poor."

“I’ve been sleeping with his secretary for almost a week now, and he still hasn’t noticed anything unusual about me.”

"I was on tenterhooks every day, thinking I'd been exposed."

"So this is the result?"

"Should I take this opportunity to slaughter everyone in the Pet Beast Guild?"

"After all, apart from the president, no one is my match."

The succubus chuckled coldly, looking at the guild leader who lay dead with his eyes wide open, her laughter unusually gleeful.

"What a pity. If you had summoned a pet to protect you, I wouldn't have acted so quickly."

"In your next life, you'd better keep your eyes open."

"Just then, there was a slow, deliberate knocking at the door."

"Is the president of the Tianzhong City Pet Guild here?"

"I am Kui Mulang, one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations."
