Chapter 272: The Demon’s Invasion 49

Demon's infiltration part 8

/*unedited*/

The next day, at the break of dawn, Nayun Mo slowly opens her eyes and found herself lying in a comfortable bed. She could not remember what had happened and felt that her head seems heavy.

She carefully viewed the simple cloth-like covering of the room and suddenly felt a cool refreshing breeze coming from somewhere. The room looks simple and as a tent, but its space is as big as a small house.

As she scrutinized the place, her head turns towards the soft and comfortable bed where a young boy handsome boy lays beside her. Seeing the person she quickly jumps out of the bed with a scream.

Her loud voice jolted the slumbering boy awake as he suddenly jumps out of bed and held his arms in a fighting position. As if by reflex, the boy is ready to defend himself.

Then two young people also came running inside the tent.

"What happened?" the beautiful woman with a silver hair suddenly asked making the girl startled.

Nie Yu Ji upon seeing the situation heaves a sigh of relief.

"Senior sister, these people are the ones who helped us…" Nie Yu Ji said while cupping his hands in respect.

"This little one gives my thanks to older brother and sister for saving our lives," he added.

Upon seeing the polite attitude of the boy, Qian Li showed a beautiful smile, which made the boy blush. She truly is like an elf in the forest with her silver hair. Although her ears are not pointed, she still resembles one.

When Nayun Mo saw this and the reaction of Nie Yu Ji she frowns. Although what had happened in the village still weighs heavily in her heart, she could not let the matter go because of the loss of her love ones. In her heart, she is already blaming the two for their late arrival and their incompetency. She also shows disdain at the trash of the village for showing such behavior in front of a beautiful woman. In her heart, she still considers herself as beautiful; especially when she noticed that the woman does now emits any spiritual Qi fluctuation in her body.

"Humph… you people are already too late! You should have arrived early and saved our village. My… my mom… my… my master… my family, they are all dead because of you! I hate you all! I hate you!" suddenly Nayun Mo shouted hysterically.

The memories of that horrible scene she saw, made her mind became chaotic. She could not accept that everything she had and everything she loved are now gone.

She continues crying and shouting that morning. As Shin Jiao and the rest let her be.

Nie Yun Ji on the other hand, just stayed quietly on the side of the tent waiting and observing her state of mind. He would offer help if it needs to be. The two of them are now the only ones left of their village, and he didn't want to abandon her.

Although she was a bully and would sometimes go out of hand, with his kind heart, he still forgave her and is willing to help.

That afternoon, Shin Jiao and Qian Li enter the tent and talk to the two children.

"We are to leave after lunch. I have already found some clues and will head directly towards the direction of the demon that attacked your village." Shin Jiao explained.

Although he didn't want to tell them about his plan, he still needs to motivate the little girl to push on and sometimes the desire for revenge might keep her sanity.

When she heard his words, it truly sparks some life in her almost lifeless eyes.

"You… Do you mean it? Are you really going to hunt down that monster?" she asked with some hope in her tone.

"That monster?... You mean there is only one monster that attacked your village?" Qian Li suddenly asked.

"Umm… that monster looks like a very tall man with slender arms and legs. He wears a long cloak over his body and there are many small fist-sized creatures crawling on his body."

"So you've seen one? This would be easier than I thought." Qian Li said as she took out a crystal tab.

Then she showed her some pictures of demons info they have collected so far.

As she scrolls through the pictures, the girl suddenly pointed at a page.

"That one… that is the monster!" she exclaimed.

"A Dark Fiend!? Hmm… this seems to be not simple." Qian Li muttered as she looks at the information.

"Master, Dark Fiends are dreaded demons on the battlefield. They are like those necromancers that can control corpses." Qian Li said while pondering.

"Our guess is correct, but if this is truly a Dark Fiend then its level of intelligence is truly not simple. We have to warn the kingdom, the treat of demon spies is really high." Shin Jiao said as he took out a communication device.

Although the little girl's testimony is not very conclusive, the information that Shin Jiao and Qian Li had gathered from the destroyed village is already enough to support her testimony.

Taking out his phone, Shin Jiao dialed a number.

Ring! Ring!

"Hello! This is the Central command of Great Wu, how can I help you a soldier?" the female voice on the other line answered.

"This is Shin Jiao along with Captain Li. We have critical information on the front lines. Please patch me through the main information center."

When the woman on the other end of the line heard this, she didn't hesitate and immediately connected the call to the other end.

"This is Intelligence, what's your report soldier?"

Then Shin Jiao told them the data they have gathered and the infiltrating demons. And right now, he also told them that they are going to try and catch one alive for interrogation and experiment.

After reporting, Shin Jiao cut off the call and a smile bloomed on his face.

This is because the long-range telecommunication was successful.

When Shin Jiao finished his work, he actually wanted to call Qin Lou and the rest of the people in the underground base. But Qian Li told him not to be impatient. She told him about a person who looks like him who is now living in the underground base.

When Shin Jiao heard this, he became more anxious. He didn't want Qin Lou to fall on the hands of that guy. He already knows who that Shin Jiao was and his attitude. If anything happens to Qin Lou, then he could not forgive himself. However, Qian Li convinces him that it is still not the time. She told him to trust in Qin Lou and her love for him.

Shin Jiao was hesitant as first, but he realized that it would be truly dangerous for his people in the now called Shin County if the Shin Jiao there would run amok and do something. So he just told them to hide his identity, and never reveal his name. That way he can deal with the Shin Jiao in Shin County when he comes back.

After the long-range communication was up and the phone functional, Shin Jiao still realized a big gap in information dissemination to the public. Since a phone is too expensive for a normal person, he needs to make something that would benefit those in the lower rung of the society in this land.

Suddenly, the idea of a radio or even TV enters his mind. But how to proceed he did not know yet. For now, his focus is to get as much data from the demons as he can.

The four of them followed the trace of the Dark Fiend and enters the deeper part of the forest.

"Big brother, Shin… if we catch up to them, what are you going to do?" Nayun Mo asked.

In her mind, she is thinking about those villagers who might have been under the control of the Dark Fiend. She didn't want them to die, so she is not sure of what to expect. But still, she wanted to go and see, or even kill the demon that did those things to her village.

Not long late, the group has arrived in a clearing.

"This does not look good… the clearing is too wide and I can't detect any creatures in there. It's as if they just vanished in thin air." Qian Li said while looking under her goggles and carefully scanning the area.

"Do you see any beast? Or any traces of Qi or mana?"

"No Master, it looks like the coast is clear." Qian Li said while taking off her goggles.

"Hmm… this is weird." While Shin Jiao was thinking, Qian Li decided to move forward and check the tall grass and try to see if she can discover anything.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao saw something on the ground.

"This is blood… coagulated blood. I've seen this before… Hmm… undead! Right… Damn… it's a trap." Shin Jiao immediately turns around and looks for Qian Li.

He had noticed a while ago that she has gone ahead and scouted the area.

Although Shin Jiao is confident of Qian Li's ability, he still can't help but worry about her. So he immediately followed her tracks, while leaving some words to the two children.

"You two stay in this area and hide. Don't move around."

When Shin Jiao reached the place where Qian Li was, he saw no one. When he was about to scan his surroundings he noticed someone behind him. He then quickly turns around and saw Qian Li.

However, upon seeing her, Shin Jiao's expression immediately changed.
