Chapter 287 The Demon's Trail

Time flies, and several hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lin Ye also stopped, his face full of doubt.

"strangeness……"

The situation was somewhat unexpected for Lin Ye, because in such a long time, he had not been able to find any trace of these demons.

This puzzled Lin Ye somewhat.

Putting everything else aside, three hours of continuous searching shouldn't have been enough to prevent Lin Ye from finding any trace of them, no matter how cautious these demons were.

The current situation is indeed causing Lin Ye great confusion.

"Could it be that they really have a way to pinpoint my location and then hide in advance?"

Lin Ye had actually had this suspicion for a long time.

However, he couldn't find anything wrong with himself, or what was watching him.

In short, he had absolutely no way of finding these demons to monitor him.

So at first, he wondered if he just hadn't found the right direction...

However, after searching in several different directions, Lin Ye finally had to confirm that these demons definitely had a way to evade his whereabouts!
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to explain why they were able to completely avoid me.

However, this made Lin Ye think of something...

"In that case, I won't come looking for you..."

Lin Ye smiled slightly. Since the other party was avoiding him, continuing to look for them would be a pure waste of time.

Having realized this, Lin Ye naturally could no longer continue to travel around like this.

"Find as many people as possible and gather them at the temple ruins!"

Lin Ye originally had two plans: on one hand, he would have Zong Muxue and Kong Feiliu lead a team to gather and fight against these demons; on the other hand, he would secretly take action himself to see if he could eliminate these demons directly.

But now it seems that these demons have been avoiding him, so Lin Ye's idea of ​​secretly eliminating them has obviously fallen through.

If that's the case, why doesn't Lin Ye use his mobility to warn the other contestants and urge them all to head towards the temple ruins?

"Fortunately, I left an inextinguishable sacred flame in the hearts of everyone I met along the way..."

At this moment, the map of Lin Ye was filled with many white dots.

Some remained stationary in one place, while others moved slowly, heading towards the center of the map.

The significance of this eternal sacred flame is that it allows them to notify Lin Ye immediately when they encounter danger.

In this way, Lin Ye can go directly there.

It was precisely the existence of these inextinguishable sacred flames that allowed Lin Ye to be certain of one thing: these demons had somehow sensed the inextinguishable sacred flames and then tried to evade them...

Because those teams carrying the sacred flame encountered almost no obstruction from the demons throughout the entire journey!
This situation is clearly unreasonable!
The only conclusion can be that those demons actually avoided the forest by sensing the aura of the Holy Flame.

This gave Lin Ye another idea.

"My sacred fire is endless and burns forever, but how long can you hide?"

Since you want to hide, then I'll make sure you have nowhere to hide!
Lin Ye glanced at the glowing dots on the map; these were the landing points of his Undying Sacred Flame, which he could teleport to at any time if he wished.

In fact, the movement method of Leaping Flame is much more convenient than the spatial movement and blink skills of the Space type.

The only trouble is that the location of the eternal flame needs to be arranged in advance.

Essentially, you first use the Sacred Flame to locate a teleportation point, and then use the Leaping Flame skill to teleport there.

Moreover, although weak, the Undying Sacred Flame can still sense the abyssal aura within a certain range around it.

In other words, if a demon were to pass by, Lin Ye would definitely be able to detect it.

The area is neither too big nor too small, roughly around 100 meters.

Beyond a hundred meters, the Undying Sacred Flame's ability to sense the abyss's aura becomes almost nonexistent.

"That means a sacred flame needs to be placed approximately every two hundred meters..." To be honest, this is a very large undertaking.

But if these demons can be effectively contained, this little bit of hardship is nothing.

True to his word, Lin Ye immediately set to work, frantically traversing the dense forest and continuously releasing the undying sacred flame at appropriate distances.

As he moved, his map gradually began to flash with numerous points of light.

The distribution of these light spots is very uniform and quite regular.

Moreover, it gradually spreads towards the center of the dense forest, showing a tendency to completely fill it.

Besides these fixed points of light, there are many other points of light on the map that are heading towards the center of the dense forest.

As time went on, the number of gathered points of light increased.

They became very dense, forming a continuous expanse.

However, seemingly intentionally, no light appeared in a section near the central temple ruins for a long time.

It seems that the place has become a forgotten corner, obscured by the radiance of the holy flame.

"That's about it..."

Lin Ye looked at the map, a smile curving his lips.

He did this simply to tell the other party that everything was under his control.

The empty space Lin Ye deliberately left without the holy flame was clearly a trap, and it carried a strong sense of mockery!
Because Lin Ye was provoking these cowardly guys.

Since you dare not appear in places where the Holy Flame exists, I have now specially reserved such a place for you.

So, are you still coming or not?
It's likely that from the very beginning, these demons never expected things to turn out this way.

……

"This guy is provoking us..."

Among the demons, Zhang Zihao raised his eyebrows. He wasn't angry about it, but inevitably, he still looked somewhat serious.

Originally, they had been hiding from Lin Ye in order to accumulate as many offerings as possible to deal with Lin Ye.

However, unexpectedly, due to Lin Ye's series of actions, the number of offerings they had under their control was far less than half of what they had estimated.

This put their actions in a rather unfavorable situation.

And they didn't even know how they had revealed their whereabouts.

It's clear that all the contestants and staff they encountered were either dead or being controlled by them.

Logically speaking, there should be absolutely no possibility of exposure.

However, Lin Ye still managed to detect it beforehand.

"What do we do now?" Niu Zhen asked Zhang Zihao.

"Tell me!" Tao Jun asked.

Although none of them were willing to concede to the others, Zhang Zihao was indeed the backbone of their operation, so the decision-making process was entirely up to him.

Zhang Zihao stared at a certain area on the map, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Wait! Once they've all gathered together, we'll force our way through and perform the sacrifice!"

“That’s impossible…” Tao Jun shook his head.

Niu Zhen rolled his eyes, feeling that Zhang Zihao was an idiot.

"I possess five portions of primal power, which should be enough to hold off Lin Ye for a short while. You just need to perform the sacrifice as soon as possible!"

Zhang Zihao finally gritted his teeth and said.

Upon hearing this, both Tao Jun and Niu Zhen looked at Zhang Zihao, a glint of greed flashing in their eyes...
