Throne of Seals: The God of Magic Descends, the Demonic Tide Breaks at Dawn

Chapter 57 The Demon Hunter's Wanted Poster

Lin Ye looked at Cai'er's pouting lips and touched his nose guiltily.

"Cai'er, let me explain."

"I'm listening." Cai'er put her hands on her hips and tilted her head slightly to look into Lin Ye's eyes.

Lin Xin, who was standing to the side, trembled uncontrollably as he watched this scene, and then ran back to the cave in a flash.

Third brother, your second brother really can't help you with this!
Take care of yourself!

Lin Ye looked at the deserter Lin Xin and felt helpless. Then he looked sincerely at Cai'er and told her about what happened on the moonlit night.

"I knew it, you went to see that woman again!" Cai'er looked at Lin Ye with a wronged expression, like an abandoned kitten.

Lin Ye gently pulled Cai'er into his arms and explained earnestly, "If we want to go back, going through the Moonlit Chamber of Commerce is the safest and fastest way."

"And I also obtained some intelligence that is beneficial to the alliance."

Cai'er snuggled against Lin Ye's chest, then asked softly, "What kind of intelligence is it?"

"The demons will soon launch another attack on the six passes."

"what!"

Cai'er subconsciously took two steps back, her face immediately showing a tense expression. "Then we must go back immediately and report to our great-grandfather!"

Lin Ye gently smoothed Cai'er's purple hair, then explained, "The demons have discovered something amiss here. We'll have to play hide-and-seek with them for a couple of days."

"Um……"

Cai'er stared at Lin Ye's face, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong, Cai'er? Just say what's on your mind."

Lin Ye looked at Cai'er's unusual behavior with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Normally, Cai'er would have pounced on him long ago.

"I want to keep watch with you tonight... and... can you hug me more?" Cai'er put her hands behind her back and turned her head away shyly.

"What kind of request is this?"

Lin Ye was both amused and exasperated. He then stepped forward and, before Cai'er could react, swept her into his arms in a princess carry.

"Yeah~"

Cai'er couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then hurriedly wrapped her arms around Lin Ye's neck to steady herself. Her eyes widened in delight as she looked at Lin Ye, who was only a few centimeters away from her. Her heart pounded wildly, and she was momentarily speechless.

"Hidden in the darkness."

Lin Ye chanted incantations rapidly, and streams of pitch-black spiritual energy instantly enveloped the two of them. The next moment, the two of them seemed to merge with the night and simply disappeared from the spot!
This is just a support spell in the dark magic system, mostly used by dark mages and their teammates for self-defense or for ambushes and sneak attacks.

Unless the caster's cultivation level is significantly higher, they cannot be detected even if the caster is right next to them.

……

Nothing happened that night. After everyone else woke up, they immediately smelled the aroma of roasted meat.

"Gulu gulu~~"

In an instant, the sound of rumbling stomachs filled the entire cave, instantly waking everyone up!

"It smells so good! Who's grilling meat?" Lin Xin squinted and sniffed, and the next second he saw Lin Ye and Cai'er snuggling together outside the cave.

"After eating so much dry food, this kind of thing is still the most appealing!"

Both Dian Yan and Sima Xian were robust melee fighters, and now, just smelling this aroma, they almost drooled.

"You're all awake? Come and have something to eat. The next two days will be quite busy."

Lin Ye noticed that his teammates had woken up, and then smiled and waved to them.

Cai'er leaned quietly on Lin Ye's shoulder, her eyes fixed on the fragrant roasted meat sizzling over the flames. She didn't think she had ever eaten this kind of roasted meat before.

So she was very curious!
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, is this string ready?"

Cai'er pointed to the string of monster meat in front of her and excitedly patted Lin Ye's arm.

"Almost there, but take it slow..."

"Ouch...it's so hot!"

Before Lin Ye could finish speaking, Cai'er couldn't wait to take it and take a small bite. She was then burned and tilted her head back. It seemed she didn't want to spit it out and wanted to put it in her mouth, "turn it around" a couple of times, and then swallow it.

Lin Ye looked helplessly at Cai'er's appearance. When he turned his attention back to the fire, his teammates had already gathered around, their eyes shining as they looked at him.

"Captain..."

How could Lin Ye not understand what they meant?

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Eat up, I have plenty of monster meat here. Grill it yourself if you want, and the seasonings are right next to you."

"Long live the commander!"

Everyone shouted in unison, then quickly picked out a skewer of grilled meat, blew on it a few times, and then started to eat it.

"Commander, were these all arrested by you and the deputy commander last night?"

Yang Wenzhao first took a big bite and swallowed it, then looked at Lin Ye, who was focused on grilling meat for Cai'er.

"Yeah, keeping watch is boring anyway," Lin Ye replied casually, but then his expression turned serious as if he remembered something.

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Lin Ye's appearance, Yang Wenzhao, Long Haochen, and the others stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Ye seriously.

"Commander Lin, what's the matter? It can't be something to do with us, can it? Haha..."

Sima Xian took a big bite of roasted meat and chewed slowly, but when she saw Lin Ye's ambiguous smile, she stopped chewing.

“You guessed right, it really is related to us.” Lin Ye smiled as he fiddled with the roasted meat in his hands. Then, ignoring Sima Xian’s expression, he continued, “The Demon Clan has discovered the anomaly in the Howling Cave and has already sent people to monitor it. Among them may even be the Demon Emperor’s Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan.”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"The bad news is over. Any good news?" Lin Xin swallowed hard and asked, his voice trembling.

"Yes, the good news is that the person in charge of the entire team is the president of the Moonlit Merchant Guild, and she will help us leave the demon territory."

Upon hearing that familiar name, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"With the Moonlit Merchant Guild around, we can get out of here unscathed!"

Dianyan's uncle, Dianxuan, immediately brightened up.

In his original prediction, he would have to risk his life alongside this demon hunter team to have even the slightest chance of escaping the demon territory.

Now that's great, with my old employer around, I'm finally comfortable. I can go back and brag to my friends about my epic experiences of risking my life in the demon realm!

"Great, Commander Lin, when shall we rejoin the Moonlit Chamber of Commerce?" Long Haochen grasped the crux of the matter.

"Two days from now, we must not appear in the demons' sight for the next two days, otherwise it will cause endless pursuit."

Lin Ye's serious voice made everyone stop what they were doing, "We've been moved to a higher bounty list."

Long Haochen suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief. Then, after realizing that everyone was looking at him, he obediently sat back down.

"A bounty? Commander, what's this?" Bai Xiaomo looked at Lin Ye curiously.
