Chapter 317: A Part of the Painted-skin Demon?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was no way to not be wary because, in this world, there were many dangers.

The Life Lantern Gem would definitely give a hint.

If it didn’t, there were two possibilities.

One: there wouldn’t be any danger for the next few months.

Two: there would be a crisis, but it wouldn’t be easy to notice. At least, there won’t be any problems for three months, but after six months, everything will be unknown.

No matter what, Lin Qiye didn’t believe it was the first possibility.

Things had developed to this point. Would this simulation be safe?

Lin Qiye didn’t believe it.

Moreover, he had a strong feeling. Something was wrong with this world!

However, after thinking about it, he couldn’t figure it out.

Lin Qiye let out a deep breath.

“According to the trajectory of the previous few times, the Painted-skin Demon definitely wants to devour top-tier SSS-Grade geniuses. Right now, the only remaining ones are the Wind Emperor, the Demon Emperor, and the Son of the Netherworld.

“Perhaps the one with the Heavenly Dao Mark might also awaken an SSS-Grade talent. However, he hasn’t awakened yet. It’s not within my scope of consideration.

“Perhaps the Painted-skin Demon might put its target on me. If it can devour me, it would be invincible.

“However, if that fellow is really that stupid, it can give me a try.”

Lin Qiye sneered. Then, his expression became serious.

“If I am the Painted-skin Demon, I will definitely choose to devour the Son of the Netherworld. That fellow’s talent has no upper limit!”

Lin Qiye nodded slightly.

“Well… The Life Lantern Gem doesn’t have any hints. I can take the initiative to attack and kill the Son of the Netherworld. With my current strength, he won’t be able to escape even if he tries his best!”

Lin Qiye’s gaze was cold.

No matter what, he couldn’t allow the Painted-skin Demon to devour a genius like the Son of the Netherworld.

After all, if the Painted-skin Demon devoured him, he would be able to steal the Son of the Netherworld’s ability.

Once his ability was taken away and merged with the Wind Emperor and the Demon Emperor, the Painted-skin Demon could barely complete its ascension.

It would possess strength that surpassed that of the Immortal Puppet.

Lin Qiye did not want to drag out such an opponent!

As he thought of this, he immediately activated the Deduction of Genesis.

[This deduction will require 10,000 movement points. You will have 5,990,000 points remaining.]

[Deduction successful: The target of the Painted-skin Demon is indeed to merge with the Son of the Netherworld.]

“As expected, the Son of the Netherworld is the next target to be devoured…”

Lin Qiye, who had guessed correctly, smiled.

In this world, onlythe Son of the Netherworld’s ability was relatively terrifying.

His growth rate was almost unlimited. As long as he had corpses, he could become infinitely stronger.

If given enough time to develop, even if Lin Qiye wanted to kill the Son of the Netherworld, he would have to expend much effort.

If the Painted-skin Demon swallowed the Son of the Netherworld and seized his ability, he would transform the population of the demon race and the Winged Wolf Tribe.

With the passive boost provided by tens of billions of zombies, the Painted-skin Demon’s strength would reach an unprecedented height!

At that time, even a Celestial might not necessarily be its match.

Lin Qiye’s expression was solemn.

The next moment, hebecame suspicious.

“Why did it use the term merge?

“It is a bit different. Previously, the Life Lantern Gem used devour, but this time, it’s merge. What is the relationship between the Son of the Netherworld and the Painted-skin Demon?”

Lin Qiye thought about it, but hehad no clue.

He could only shake his head.

“No matter what, I’ll just kill the Son of the Netherworld in advance and be done with it.”

Lin Qiye had trained for so long, all for the sake of using his strength to destroy every threat.

Now that there was a threat, he would nip it in the bud!

No matter how many tricks the Painted-skin Demon had up its sleeves, it could only be helpless and furious when faced with the dead Son of the Netherworld.

With that in mind, Lin Qiye silently activated the Deduction of Genesis.

He deduced the hiding place of the Son of the Netherworld.

[This deduction requires 100,000 movement points. You will have 5.89 million points remaining. Do you want to proceed?]

The consumption was not too much. Lin Qiye confirmed without hesitation.

[Deduction successful: The Son of the Netherworld took the remaining 5 million zombies and hid in the northwest desert, under Dragon Well.]

“In the northwest, under Dragon Well? It was an underground river dug in ancient times. Because of the invasion of the Winged Wolf Tribe and the yellow sand, the river had disappeared, and even the entrance to the underground river could not be found. I didn’t expect the Son of the Netherworld to find it.”

Lin Qiye sneered.

“You are quite good at hiding, but it’s a pity that you met me. Consider yourself unlucky.”

Lin Qiye shook his head.

After accurately locking onto the coordinates of the Son of the Netherworld, Lin Qiye informed Zhu Yuheng, Father Gu, and Mother Gu.

Then, he set off on the path of saving the world.

He headed straight for the Son of the Netherworld’s hiding place, moving as fast as lightning.

…

Northwest, under Dragon Well.

The Son of the Netherworld was pacing back and forth in a tomb. His face was as pale as a layer of flour. Due to his restlessness, he looked exceptionally strange.

“What’s going on? Why do I feel like someone is staring at me from behind half a month ago?

“Is it Gu Shaoshang that b*stard again?”

The Son of the Netherworld cursed.

The restlessness that lasted for half a month had become even more unbearable today! It made the Son of the Netherworld feel like a thorn was on his back.

“He can’t be plotting against me, right?!”

The Son of the Netherworld felt his scalp tingle.
