Chapter 129: Face-to-Face Means Certain Death (5k)_2

"Big brother, the smell has faded again."

"Don't worry, the smell wasn't drifting from mid-air but carried by the wind from the mountain hollow. They must not be directly ahead."

Yu Ziqing continuously discerned the wind direction, surveyed the mountain hollow's terrain, and led Lou Huai toward the side.

As they arrived at a leeward mountain hollow, Yu Ziqing's expression darkened.

"Haven't you noticed something?"

Yu Ziqing glanced around.

"We've been hurrying without rest for several days in these mountains, yet still haven't left them; similarly, we haven't encountered a single demon."

The Abyss was teeming with demons, countless and diverse as stars, not just the few types Yu Ziqing sought.
