Chapter 1324 - Chapter 1324 Chapter 726 Added to the Body

Chapter 1324: Chapter 726: Added to the Body Chapter 1324: Chapter 726: Added to the Body His companions echoed his sentiment one by one: some nodded in agreement, some revealed an expression of anxiety and helplessness as if genuinely troubled by something.

However, the demon soldier did not completely relax his vigilance. He squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Elder Talon Skyler and his entourage carefully, as if searching for flaws, “From abroad? Then why are you at this secluded outpost? And why do you carry such a strong demon aura?”

A chill went through Elder Talon Skyler’s heart, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that now was not the time to show any flaw. Pretending to be relaxed, he smiled and said, “Brother, you are not aware. Although we come from abroad, our family clan has a deep connection with the Demon Race. As for why we are here, it is out of necessity. We had planned to rest here for the night and start our journey back to the city tomorrow. Please, brother, show us mercy and let us go.”

Saying this, Elder Talon Skyler quietly pulled out a token from his sleeve, a symbol of their family clan’s exchanges with the Demon Race. He gently handed the token to the soldier, hoping to dispel his doubts.

The soldier took the token and examined it closely. The pattern and aura on the token made him frown slightly, but he finally nodded, “Very well, since you have the family clan’s token, I will not question further. However, you should return to the city swiftly to avoid any unnecessary trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler and his companions internally breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly took back the token, thanked the soldier, then hastily left the outpost and disappeared into the night. They knew that although the crisis was temporarily averted, the path ahead was still fraught with the unknown and dangers. They had to be even more careful and cautious to successfully complete their mission and return safely.

“Stay calm, don’t panic,” Elder Talon Skyler whispered in a voice almost only his companions could hear. His gaze was firm and profound, as if instilling an invisible strength into his companions, allowing them to remain composed in this tense atmosphere. He gently patted the shoulder of a companion next to him, a young girl whose eyes twinkled with unease. Yet, under Elder Talon Skyler’s encouragement, she seemed to gradually regain her courage.

Just then, the leader of the demon soldiers spoke up again, his voice cold and authoritative like a blade in the chilling wind, piercing to the heart, “Who are you? Why are you here? Do you not know that in times like these, all Demon Clan Members should remain in their own territory and not wander about?” His gaze was piercing, scanning over Elder Talon Skyler and his party, trying to detect any flaw in their expressions and movements.

Faced with this sudden questioning, one of Elder Talon Skyler’s companions, a perceptive young man, quickly stepped forward. His name was Ethan Cloud, the strategist of the team, always able to come up with countermeasures at critical moments. Ethan Cloud took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound more natural, and although a tremor of nerves still lingered in his voice, his words were clear and forceful, “We are… we are clan members who have just returned from abroad, having encountered some trouble on the road, thus delaying our trip. We had hoped to rest a bit at the outpost, replenish some dry food and water, then immediately continue our journey back to our own territory. We didn’t mean to alarm the esteemed lords. We will leave at once and not cause you any trouble.”

With that, Ethan Cloud even purposely took out some dry food and a few bottles of water from his bag, showing them to the demon soldiers to prove that they were indeed just passing through with no ulterior motive. His actions appeared both sincere and helpless, making it difficult to doubt their words.

The leader of the demon soldiers squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Ethan Cloud and the rest of Elder Talon Skyler’s party carefully. He seemed to be weighing the truthfulness of Ethan Cloud’s words and considering whether to interrogate them further. After a moment, he slowly nodded, his tone revealing a subtle relenting, “If that is the case, then depart quickly. Remember, it is a sensitive time, and any small disturbance could lead to unnecessary trouble. You would do well to proceed with caution, and not bring disaster upon yourselves or the clan.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler and his companions internally breathed a sigh of relief. They knew their ability to turn danger into safety was largely due to Ethan Cloud’s quick thinking and composure. They quickly packed up their belongings, nodded their thanks to the demon soldiers, and then hastily left the outpost, disappearing into the vast night. They knew the road ahead was still filled with the unknown and danger, but as long as they remained united, nothing could stop their forward progression.

He said this, also intentionally portraying a look of utter exhaustion, rubbing his eyes as if he could hardly keep them open, giving the impression of truly having endured a long and tiring journey, both physically and mentally worn out. His movements were natural and fluid, with no hint of pretense, eliciting sympathy at first glance. The other companions immediately cooperated, some pretending to adjust their clothes with their heads lowered, their fingers weaving through the fabric while they stayed alert to their surroundings; others feigned a relaxed demeanor as they looked around, though a hint of barely discernible tension shone in their eyes, attempting to create the illusion that they were simply ordinary Demon Clan Members stopping to rest due to fatigue from their travels.

The leader of the demon soldiers had eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning over them again and again, seemingly trying to detect any flaw in their expressions, movements, and even their breathing. He remained silent, just quietly observing, the air thick with a suppressive and intense atmosphere. After a while, he let out a curt huff, the sound not loud but seemingly containing a tremendous force, making one’s heart skip a beat.
