Catching Monsters

Chapter 405 How can you hide it so well?
The snake demon woman never expected that there would be two human experts at the third rank in this inn room.

She herself was seriously injured in this great battle, and that fool Hu Yi desperately killed her best friend, someone she had known for a hundred years.

Seeing that her friend had been killed by this fool, and that Hu Yi was also seriously injured, she chased after him, wanting to take Hu Yi's life and avenge her friend.

These five daggers were incredibly fast.

The sudden appearance of Jiang Yun and Linglong and their attack on her was completely unexpected.

Moreover, she was injured at the moment.

In an instant, the five daggers struck her chest, abdomen, thigh, and other areas.

The dagger pierced her body, leaving five holes in an instant, and bursting into a spray of blood.

Five daggers were also firmly embedded in the wall behind her.

"Pfft." The snake demon woman spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes bloodshot as she looked at Jiang Yun and Linglong.

To be honest, if the snake demon woman were human, those five daggers would have already taken her life.

Because the five locations where Linglong injured her were all extremely dangerous to humans.

However, this snake demon woman was merely in human form; her vital points were not the same as those of humans.

Although they didn't kill them outright, their injuries were compounded. Knowing she was no match for the two men, the snake demon woman turned to flee.

Jiang Yun couldn't let her escape.

Flying around in the sky are all demon kings from the three races. If this snake demon woman really gets back, who knows how many variables will arise.

Soon, Jiang Yun took out four talismans and instantly made his move:
"Banners hang with precious inscriptions, bringing boundless benefits; all gods protect and guard, and sins are absolved."

"After the prayer flags are lowered and the cloud banners return to the sky, everyone must obey the decree and not delay."

The four yellow talismans instantly transformed into yellow banners, moving with incredible speed, and bound the snake demon woman.

Before the snake demon woman could fly away, she was wrapped up like a dumpling by the yellow banner. She tried her best to break free, but the yellow banner binding her only tightened.

Seeing this, Linglong waved her hand, and the five daggers instantly flew back into her hand.

Then, she threw it again with force, and the dagger flew towards the snake demon woman on the ground.

This continued for a long time, and soon, blood began to flow continuously from the yellow banner. The snake demon woman gradually stopped moving and stopped breathing completely.

Jiang Yun was quite cautious. He stepped forward and unfurled the yellow banner, revealing that the snake demon woman had already transformed into her true form.

Its true form is a seven-colored venomous snake about two meters long.

Then Jiang Yun breathed on the snake demon woman again, and the raging flames quickly produced the aroma of roasted meat.

It's always good to be cautious.

If the snake clan were to discover the snake demon woman's corpse later, they could discern from the wounds that she did not die at the hands of other demons.

To avoid causing trouble for yourself.

"How is Hu Yi?" Jiang Yun asked as he finished dealing with the snake demon's corpse before coming to Hu Yi's side.

Hu Yi remains unconscious.

Jiang Yun frowned deeply, looked up at the ongoing battle in the sky, and slowly said, "This is truly an eye-opener for me. I never expected there to be so many Rank 3 experts."

Linglong, who was standing next to Jiang Yun, was also seeing such a grand scene for the first time. However, after thinking for a moment, she said, "The fact that the demon race is fighting each other is ultimately a good thing for us."

Looking at the blood rain falling from the sky, Jiang Yun frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "The demonic eye demon has appeared in the world, and blood rains continuously in Dragon Crystal City. The Demon Island mountain range has been shattered, and the Four Saints will awaken and disrupt the universe."

"Now these monsters are fighting in the sky, and the blood they spray is perhaps the blood rain mentioned in this proverb?"

……

The Dragon Palace, above the palace where the Demon Emperor Ao Lie resides.

Ao Lie stood above, his hands behind his back, his gaze constantly sweeping over the various demons fighting in the sky.

Not long after, Ao Yu, with an icy expression, came to his side and said, "Father, these guys have gone mad with bloodlust."

"I'm afraid that nearly ten experts at the third-grade demon king level have already perished."

Upon hearing this, Ao Lie smiled faintly and nodded: "If these guys knew that the demon they were fighting over had been brought out by me, I wonder what they would think?"

While these monsters were engaged in fierce battle in the sky, Ao Lie secretly sneaked into the snake clan's mansion and brought Yan Jiu out.

He is now lying unconscious in a corner below the palace.

Seeing this, Ao Yu was slightly surprised and asked in confusion, "Father, didn't you say that our Dragon Clan wouldn't get involved in this matter?"

“Originally, I wasn’t planning to get involved.” Ao Lie paused, then slowly said, “But after thinking about it carefully, what if this demon is really related to the resurrection of other demon saints? I can’t rest easy handing him over to their three clans like this.”

Upon hearing this, Ao Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light: "In that case, let's kill this demon as soon as possible?"

"I can't be killed; I have other uses."

Chang Yuning was covered in bright red blood, and it could no longer distinguish whether the blood was its own or that of its enemy.

At that moment, it was struck hard by a powerful palm from a tiger clan expert and slammed to the ground.

With a loud bang, the impact caused cracks to appear on the ground of the courtyard.

Chang Yuning took a deep breath, then quickly looked toward the room where Yan Jiu was hiding.

This can't go on!
We must take advantage of the chaos and take Yan Jiu away.

Thinking of this, Chang Yuning rushed to the room where Yan Jiu was, then lifted the floorboards and crawled into the cellar.

But soon, Chang Yuning was stunned.

Yan Jiu, who should have been staying obediently in the cellar, disappeared.

Did Yan Jiu escape on his own?

impossible.

This courtyard has a barrier set up by Chang Yuning himself, so Yan Jiu cannot leave at all.

Were they taken away by others in the chaos?

That's unlikely.

If you touch it and destroy the barrier, you will know immediately, instead of being completely unaware.

Unless, of course, someone far more powerful than himself managed to sneak through the barrier and take the person away without anyone noticing.

Thinking about all this, I watched the endless battles taking place in the sky.

After all, the people are in the hands of the snake clan, even though it is a three-way war.

However, both the fox and tiger clans were more interested in attacking the snake clan's experts. Chang Yuning rushed forward and shouted, "Stop fighting!"

"Stop it all!"

Twenty or thirty demon kings were locked in fierce battle in the sky, but few of them listened to Chang Yuning's words.

Chang Yuning could only shout loudly, "That sorcerer has escaped! He's vanished!"

"If we continue fighting, it will only be a pointless infighting."

Upon hearing that the person had disappeared, the demon kings in the sky were stunned and, according to their formations, withdrew their attacks and moved closer together.

Almost everyone from all three sides was wounded, and many had died.

The leader of the tiger clan was a powerful black tiger demon. It said in a deep voice, "You brat from the snake clan, what trick are you up to now? Hiding people and then pretending to disappear, right?"

Chang Yuning took a deep breath and spread her hands: "I was hiding in the mansion below. If you don't believe me, you can go down and search for me."

"I will not stop you."

Upon hearing this, the many demon kings of the tiger and fox clans exchanged glances, then transformed into streaks of demonic energy and rushed towards the mansion below.

Vast and terrifying demonic auras searched the entire mansion.

The elder of the snake clan beside her looked anxious and asked, "Yu Ning, where is he? Is he really missing?"

Chang Yuning's expression was solemn. He slowly nodded and said through gritted teeth, "It's really lost."

Not long after, the fox and tiger demons, having searched in vain, flew back from below, their eyes filled with suspicion as they looked at the snake clan.

"Find it, whoever finds it gets to keep it." Chang Yuning sneered, "In such a short time, that guy must still be in Dragon Crystal City, he couldn't have left."

This statement resonated with most of the demon kings present, who feared that such endless fighting would lead to their deaths.

In today's battle, the three races combined have probably lost more than ten powerful experts at the third-grade demon king level.

Soon, these demon kings transformed into streaks of demonic black shadows and flew towards the area below Dragon Crystal City, searching for Yan Jiu's whereabouts.

Jiang Yun and Linglong were watching the commotion in the distance from the window.

"Why did you stop fighting?" Linglong asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled.

"Something must have happened." Jiang Yun frowned, not knowing the situation, but looking at the demon kings in the sky, he began to search in all directions.

"Could it be that Yan Jiu escaped?" Jiang Yun's pupils contracted slightly.

"Let's go, we need to get out of here as soon as possible." Jiang Yun glanced at Hu Yi behind him, who was still unconscious.

They were all in a frenzy just now. If the snake and tiger demons find them, it will likely cause even more trouble.

The two men, carrying the unconscious Hu Yi, quickly jumped off the restaurant.

With so many demon kings fighting in the sky, the streets of Dragon Crystal City were already deserted.

All the monsters and slaves hid in the nearest houses, trembling with fear.

Of course, the aftershocks of these demon kings' battles were also far beyond what ordinary human slaves or lesser demons could withstand.

Countless houses were destroyed, and the monsters and slaves hiding in them also suffered greatly.

But when something like this happens, you can only blame your bad luck.

Can these lesser demons really go to the demon kings of the three races and demand compensation?
Jiang Yun and Linglong quickly returned to their room in Tengyang Pavilion with the unconscious Hu Yi in tow.

Shortly after Hu Yi was settled into bed, there was a knock on the door.

When Jiang Yun opened the door, Wei Li was right outside.

Wei Li forced a smile and said, "Brother Jiang, I just heard from the waiter that you and Linglong helped a wounded person back?"

As he spoke, his gaze drifted into the house.

Just now, a demon king from their tiger clan happened to pass by and casually informed them that Yan Jiu had disappeared.

And he also instructed Wei Li to find a way to mobilize the monsters of Tengyang Pavilion to search for them.

Upon hearing that Jiang Yun and Linglong had brought people back, his first thought was naturally to bring Yan Jiu back as well.

Upon seeing the person lying on the bed, Wei Li couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and said, "Hu Yi?"

Hu Yi was quite famous in the Demon Kingdom, and Wei Li had seen him a few times from afar.

Jiang Yun explained, "He fought with the snake clan and was seriously injured. I have some connection with him, so I brought him back to recuperate."

He specifically emphasized that the injuries were sustained while fighting the snake clan.

Upon hearing this, Wei Li nodded, still preoccupied with finding Yan Jiu, and hurriedly turned to leave.

Many slaves and lesser demons are now suffering greatly.

They huddled in the corners of various rooms, trembling with fear.

Every now and then, a terrifying demon king would descend, inspect them all, and if he found no demons, he would quickly turn and leave.

The search continued, and the demon kings of these demon races seemed to have gone mad. Most of them were covered in blood and their injuries were not light.

But he showed no intention of treating the injury.

It seemed they wouldn't give up until they found Yan Jiu.

Even the room where Jiang Yun and Linglong live has been explored by several demons.

It was truly a carpet search.

The heat did not subside after dark.

The sun slowly rose until the next morning.

When Jiang Yun woke up, he glanced out the window and just then, Linglong arrived at his room.

After pushing the door open, Linglong yawned and complained, "These guys have been searching all night and still can't find it. Several demon kings have come to my room all night."

"It made me not get any rest at all."

"Tell me, where did Yan Jiu go? How can he hide so well?"

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the morning sunlight shining on the eaves of Dragon Crystal City, and said, "Dragon Crystal City is large, but it cannot withstand such a search by these demon kings."

"There were no results all night long."

"Guess what other places in the entire Dragon Crystal City these demon kings dare not search?"

Upon hearing this, Linglong asked, "The Dragon Palace?"
