Chapter 130: Demon Race Trap

Ye Lin fell silent for a moment. Running away from home to enter a secret realm to deal with the Demon race just to prove himself to his family—the pursuits of a wealthy scion are truly unfathomable.

However, he still took the phone and nodded.

"Thank you!"

Xie Xiaoxiao smiled happily, revealing a cute little canine tooth.

The two ventured deeper into Secret Realm No. 79 and had already arrived at the foot of the mountain range they had seen from afar.

Many job-changers had already gathered here, and upon seeing Ye Lin and his companion arrive, they all cast wary glances.

This was inside a secret realm, and there were no Investigation Bureau personnel to intervene; here, killing people and seizing their goods was a common occurrence.

Therefore, job-changers were all on guard against one another.

"Ignore them, let's go this way. I can feel that the Demon race is already very close to us!" Xie Xiaoxiao's words revealed a strong sense of excitement.

Ye Lin nodded and followed her.

As the two went deeper into the mountain range, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavy.

Even the wind blowing past was laced with a murderous intent, as if foreshadowing something.

"Over there!" Xie Xiaoxiao paused her steps and said in a low voice.

Ye Lin looked in the direction Xie Xiaoxiao indicated and saw a massive Demon nearly three meters tall slowly walking out from the woods.

Its entire body was covered in black scales, its eyes flashed with a scarlet light, and the fangs in its mouth were exposed, looking exceptionally fierce and cruel.

"Are you ready? You have to film in high definition!" Xie Xiaoxiao was somewhat excited.

"Judging by its aura, that Demon is probably over level 40. Are you sure you can handle it?" Ye Lin asked with concern.

Given the same level, the combat power of the Demon race is far more terrifying than that of monsters.

A level 40 Demon can easily crush a dozen level 40 monsters; it can be said that the Demon race is an enhanced, evolved version of monsters.

"No problem, don't you underestimate me!"

A flash of cunning crossed Xie Xiaoxiao's eyes. She waved her hand, and it was as if something had appeared.

Yet Ye Lin could see nothing, but he instinctively felt that something very dangerous had been added to the air.

The next moment, Xie Xiaoxiao's ten jade-like fingers began to sway gently, and the surrounding air seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, beginning to tremble slightly.

Ye Lin used the phone's high-definition lens to zoom in, and only then did he see thin threads, almost invisible to the naked eye, continuously flying out from Xie Xiaoxiao's fingertips.

These thin threads would only occasionally flash with a faint light under the illumination of the light; the threads were like agile snakes, rapidly coiling toward that Demon.

The Demon seemed to sense danger; it let out a roar, and the black scales on its body seemed to become even harder, attempting to resist the attack of these threads.

However, the sharpness of these threads was comparable to keen blades and swords, directly ignoring the defense of the Demon's scales and penetrating them with ease.

In an instant, purple blood began to seep continuously from beneath the black scales.

Ye Lin, who was filming the video, was astonished. Although he couldn't tell what Xie Xiaoxiao's profession was, judging by this maneuver, her combat power was definitely not bad!

These nearly transparent threads were absolutely the best tools for a sneak attack; even a level 50 job-changer could easily have their head cut off by Xie Xiaoxiao if they were not careful.

"It's humans! Your speed is actually this fast!"

The Demon was both shocked and angry. He never expected that someone could find this place so quickly. He let out a hiss, wanting to break free from the restraint of the threads.

"It's useless. Once my Star Puppet Threads entangle the prey, it's impossible to break free!" A flash of triumph crossed Xie Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Sure enough, as it struggled, the threads on the Demon's body wound tighter and tighter, cutting completely into its flesh, with blood flowing freely. But at this moment, the monster endured the intense pain and gave a forceful tug.

Although Xie Xiaoxiao's combat power was extremely strong, her combat experience was clearly somewhat lacking.

The gap in strength between Xie Xiaoxiao and the Demon was clearly very large. Being tugged by the Demon like that, she was pulled directly flying toward it.

The Demon revealed a cruel smile, then opened its blood-red maw, and terrifying energy gathered in its mouth.

If this strike were to land on her, Xie Xiaoxiao would certainly be severely injured, if not killed.

Fortunately, Xie Xiaoxiao's reaction was exceptionally fast; countless thin threads coiled and crossed in front of her, forming a translucent shield.

Boom—!

The energy brewing in the Demon's mouth was suddenly spat out, forming a beam of energy that slammed heavily into the shield in front of Xie Xiaoxiao.

Xie Xiaoxiao was pushed back dozens of meters, but fortunately, with the protection of the thread shield, she was not injured, only her aura was slightly disordered.

However, after this engagement, the Demon also successfully broke free from the restraint of the invisible threads.

"I underestimated you!"

Xie Xiaoxiao's small face became serious. She raised her hands, and the invisible threads surged out once more, coiling toward the Demon.

Having had the previous experience, how could the Demon dare to be entangled by Xie Xiaoxiao's Star Puppet Threads again?

If it weren't for Xie Xiaoxiao's lack of combat experience, he would have had no chance to escape just now and would have been strangled to death directly.

The Demon turned and fled without hesitation. Although the Star Puppet Threads were powerful, they were clearly lacking in terms of pursuit, and they missed completely.

"Don't think about escaping!"

Xie Xiaoxiao pursued without hesitation, unwilling to let this Demon go; after all, this was an important piece of prey for her to prove herself to her family.

"Hey! Don't pursue a cornered enemy, it's a trap!"

Ye Lin hurriedly spoke to warn her, but how could Xie Xiaoxiao listen to him?

"Rest assured! In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are useless!"

Watching Xie Xiaoxiao's speeding back, Ye Lin felt somewhat helpless and could only activate Dance of the Instant to catch up.

The Demon, relying on its familiarity with the terrain, kept weaving through the mountain range, crossing two mountain peaks in succession, with Xie Xiaoxiao in hot pursuit behind.

But when it fled to the third mountain peak, the Demon suddenly stopped its steps.

"Hmph! Run! Why don't you keep running!" Xie Xiaoxiao tugged at the threads in her hands, thinking that the Demon could no longer run.

"Run? Hehehehe!" The Demon let out a cold, sinister laugh. "Now, the one who should run is you!"

As soon as the words fell, the previously quiet mountain peak suddenly became clamorous.

The scene before Xie Xiaoxiao's eyes changed instantly, as if she had jumped out of a landscape painting and intruded into another world.

On the previously empty mountain peak, there were now fully twenty-some Demons.

They were of various forms; some were tall and fierce, like iron towers; others were short and cunning, hiding between rocks and trees.

The only thing they had in common was that all the Demons' eyes flashed with a cold, eerie light, as if hungry wolves were staring at their prey, making one's hair stand on end.

Xie Xiaoxiao's expression changed abruptly.

"How is this possible! Qingcheng is only a small county town; how could there be so many Demons in the secret realm here?"

Xie Xiaoxiao's exquisite face was filled with disbelief; she never expected that the number of Demons in the secret realm would be this high.

Taking a deep breath, a look of determination appeared on Xie Xiaoxiao's face, and she said in a low voice to Ye Lin.

"I will bear the consequences of my own actions. It was I who harmed you. When the fight starts later, I will use the Star Puppet Threads to hold back all the Demons; you run directly, don't worry about me, do you understand?"
