Chapter 832

"Yes, these people probably also came for the Fire-Red Flowers, but they couldn't defeat the Ant-Beasts, so they were dragged here to be used as fertilizer. As time passed, the rotting corpses naturally emitted a stench, and since there are many corpses here, the smell is relatively strong."

After hearing these words from Chen Ang, Wan Shitong only felt his back go cold.

"Fortunately, we defeated the Ant-Beasts; otherwise, we would also be one of these piles of white bones."

"Yes, now that the Ant-Beasts have been eliminated and the Fire-Red Flowers have been obtained, let's focus on dealing with the Demon race."

While the two were talking, Chen Ang already felt that the people of the Demon race were getting closer and closer, but for some reason, they still hadn't shown themselves.

Turning his head to look in the direction where the aura was strongest, Chen Ang took out his Zhenyue Divine Spear.

When flames emerged on his ten fingers, he blew a breath, letting the flames fall lightly onto the Zhenyue Divine Spear.

His expression became extremely grave as Chen Ang took the lead and headed in the direction of the Demon race.

Seeing him move forward, Wan Shitong also hurriedly rubbed his flames and followed.

As the two stepped forward, the Demon race people began to retreat step by step.

After chasing forward for a while, Chen Ang suddenly stopped his footsteps and pulled Wan Shitong, who was beside him.

"Wait, this path is a bit wrong."

Hearing his words, Wan Shitong finally realized that they had been led quite far away by the Demon race people.

Looking around, they discovered that the vegetation here was exceptionally strange, and even the birds' calls sounded somewhat shrill, as if they were calling for souls.

When goosebumps rose all over his body, Wan Shitong tugged at Chen Ang lightly.

"Boss, it's too strange here. Let's go back."

After gazing into the distance for a long time, Chen Ang nodded.

"We'll go back. If the Demon race people chase us, we'll fight them. If they don't chase, then we'll head straight back."

"Alright, let's hurry."

After making the decision, the two quickly returned to the previous path.

What Chen Ang found strange was that after they returned to that path, the Demon race people didn't chase them quickly; instead, they kept a distance from them, as if they had a sense of fear toward them.

Letting his gaze fall over there again, Chen Ang frowned slightly.

"Something is wrong. What exactly is going on? Could it be that they are setting up an array?"

"That can't be, right? We've been in contact with the Demon race for so long, and we've never discovered that they could set up arrays!"

"I don't know either, but I always feel that things aren't that simple. While it's still early, let's head back and see if the Demon race people will follow."

Chen Ang had made his decision, and Wan Shitong naturally had no objections, so the two stepped onto the path they had come from and walked forward.

When the sky gradually turned dark, the two had already walked quite a distance.

Stopping his footsteps while panting, Chen Ang turned his head to look again. Sensing that the Demon race was still keeping a certain distance from them, he sat down by a tree on the spot.

"No, we can't continue walking; otherwise, if we lose too much physical strength, something will definitely go wrong."

Looking around, Wan Shitong asked, "Boss, how far have we walked?"

"Less than halfway."

"Should we continue walking after we've rested?"

"Yes, the Fire-Red Flowers are already in hand. This place is not suitable for a long stay, and since the Demon race people are following us all the way, no one knows when they will strike."

After thinking carefully, Wan Shitong felt that what he said made sense.

Now that danger was accompanying them all the way, they really needed to escape this predicament as soon as possible.

Composing their minds, the two sat on the spot to rest, and neither of them spoke.

Just as their physical strength was about to recover, the Demon race people moved a step closer.

Sensing their cautious movements, Chen Ang's brows furrowed even tighter.

It stood to reason that the Demon race people should seize the opportunity to attack them now, but they had been following them all the way without showing themselves; this was something he really couldn't figure out.

While these things were running wildly in his mind, Chen Ang took out a Fire-Red Flower from his chest and fiddled with it unconsciously in his hand.

Just as he crushed a petal, the aura of the Demon race people suddenly drifted away a little.

Sensing the change in aura, Chen Ang frowned and raised his head, his gaze falling straight into the distance.

He was thinking about things in his heart, and his hands were moving unconsciously again.

When another petal was crushed by him, the aura of the Demon race people moved further away again.

The two consecutive retreats made Chen Ang think of something. Looking down at his palm, his eyes lit up instantly.

Taking the Fire-Red Flower, he stood up and walked straight in the direction of the Demon race.

Detecting his movement, Wan Shitong grabbed his wrist.

"Boss, there are Demon race people over there."

"I know. I have something I want to verify. Wait for me here; I'm going to verify it."

After hearing his words, Wan Shitong hurriedly stood up.

"Boss, what are you going to verify? I'll go with you."

Seeing that his movements when standing up were somewhat strained, it was clear that the injury on his leg hadn't fully healed, so Chen Ang shook his head.

"Don't come with me; I'll go by myself."

Although Chen Ang said so, Wan Shitong disagreed.

"No, we are together. How can I let you go on an adventure alone? I'll go with you."

Seeing that he insisted on accompanying him, Chen Ang simply took out two more Fire-Red Flowers and handed them to him.

Looking at the Fire-Red Flowers in his palm, Wan Shitong frowned slightly, his expression somewhat puzzled.

"Boss, aren't we going to verify some things? Why are you giving me Fire-Red Flowers?"

"Just now, I accidentally crushed two petals. As soon as the petals were crushed, the aura of the Demon race people moved away a bit. I suspect that they have been following us closely but haven't attacked because of these Fire-Red Flowers, so I want to verify this."

As soon as Chen Ang said this, Wan Shitong's eyes lit up instantly.

"Boss, are you serious?"

"Serious. The first time I didn't react, but the second time I felt it clearly. As for whether things are as I said, we'll know once we go and try."

"Alright, then let's go and try. If they are afraid, that's the best. If they aren't, we two don't have to fear them either!"

"Yes, let's go. Follow behind me."

Holding the Fire-Red Flowers, the two walked straight toward the Demon race people.

As they advanced cautiously, Chen Ang felt that the aura of the Demon race people began to become further and further away, as if they were fearful of them and didn't dare to get close.

Seeing the Demon race people retreating in terror, both Chen Ang and Wan Shitong were overjoyed.

Taking a few more Fire-Red Flowers from his chest, Chen Ang made a gesture of throwing them forward.

Seeing his action, the Demon race people were exceptionally terrified, and their speed of retreat became even faster.

Watching them, the corners of Chen Ang's mouth were almost reaching his ears.

"Wan Shitong, did you see that? They are afraid of the Fire-Red Flowers, not just the pills refined from them, but even more so of the flower itself."

With bright eyes, Wan Shitong nodded vigorously.

"I saw it, I saw it clearly! Boss, it seems we really have a way this time!"

"Yes, after being tormented by the Demon race for so long, we've finally found a solution. We can't waste time here; let's hurry back and find my Master."

"Alright, let's go now."

With the Fire-Red Flowers protecting them, the two were no longer afraid of the Demon race people and headed back the way they came, full of excitement.

When they reached the end of a path, Wan Shitong subconsciously wanted to take the wide main road, but was pulled back by Chen Ang.

Sensing his action, Wan Shitong frowned slightly: "What's wrong, Boss? Why are you pulling me?"

"Now that we are no longer afraid of the Demon race, we don't need to take that small path. We have no fear; let's just choose the fastest path."

After hearing Chen Ang's words, Wan Shitong slapped his own forehead hard.

"That's right, we aren't afraid of them anymore, so why take a detour?"

"Yes, follow me."

Leading Wan Shitong, Chen Ang stepped onto the nearest path.

As their journey grew longer, the aura of the Demon race also began to gradually disappear.

When the sky was about to turn dark, the two returned successfully.

Standing in front of the courtyard, Chen Ang turned his head to look. Seeing the peace behind him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up again.
