Chapter 26
Chapter 26
When Ji Ruo and the others were being chased by the nine-eyed magic spiders, Ji Ruo was constantly using [Absolute Directional Sense] to search for a ‘safe’ direction.
At that time, the director of the education division was also searching in this direction.
Ji Ruo thought that after many adjustments to his [Absolute Directional Sense], it could define the perfect path as long as he took the average value.
But in fact, [Absolute Directional Sense] only had a 5% correction rate.
If all the directions were divided into 360 degrees, then the effect of one correction would only be 18 degrees.
Even if he did multiple corrections and took the average value, he could only narrow the error to 180 degrees at most. Strictly speaking, Ji Ruo and the others were running away from the real path of survival.
However, Ji Ruo knew nothing about this. Since he had met a martial artist, he felt that he had chosen the right direction.
By the time the director of the education division found the nine-eyed magic spider’s nest, a long time had already passed.
He searched around the nine-eyed magic spider’s lair and quickly made a discovery.
There were more than ten corpses of nine-eyed magic spiders near the entrance of the cave. They were all dismembered to death, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
However, it was very obvious that these nine-eyed magic spiders were all killed by humans.
With just a glance, this director of the education division recognized that these nine-eyed magic spiders had all died under some kind of knife technique.
“A spider queen, and six-tentacled catfish…”
After leaving the nest, the director of the education division frowned as he surveyed the two long-dead demonic creatures in front of him.
The six-tentacled catfish was poisoned to death, while the spider queen was burned to death.
In addition, the director also found five shallow human-shaped pits on the edge of the swamp not far away. If he had come a little later, these shallow pits would have been gone.
He closed his eyes and perceived his surroundings carefully. After a while, the director frowned.
“The clues are broken again…”
He frowned and pondered for a moment. All powerful martial artists had intuition, but it was not for finding people.
The director’s fingertips pinched the torn school uniform fabric he had found on the road earlier. He perceived it carefully, and his intuition, which was unique to martial artists, was activated to the extreme.
Soon after, the director actually had a vague feeling in his heart.
The director began making his way. However, if his target was Ji Ruo and the others, then he was going in the wrong direction.
…
“Those detestable toads! They were the ones who killed the earth-rumbling worm, so why are they chasing me?”
A dirty white cat was carefully walking through the forest, gritting its teeth.
“They can’t even finish eating such an earth-rumbling worm, so why can’t I have a bite or two?! I don’t eat much. D*mn it!”

It carefully distinguished the scent?in the air, and as it walked, a khaki-colored bead flashed above its head.
With each step, it covered a distance of ten meters or even more. Moreover, the direction was different each time.
However, the strange thing was that no matter which direction it went, the general direction was always forward.
It was as if the path ahead was always being corrected under its feet.
‘The aura of a demonic creatures… This smell seems to be a troll. That’s just nice.”
The white cat’s eyes turned cold.
“After eating these trolls, I should be able to deal with them for a while longer…”
A moment later, it arrived at the place where the trolls lived.
Trolls were human-like monsters. They were ugly, powerful, and had low intelligence.
The intelligence of monsters was generally low.
Incidentally, they also lived in groups.
At this moment, the trolls seemed to be in a revelry. The white cat was just about to make a move when it suddenly smelled a strange smell of blood in the air.
It was not that there was anything strange about the smell of blood, but the white cat felt it was a little unfamiliar.
It looked carefully and finally found the dying ‘food source’ surrounded by the reveling trolls.
“Human?” the white cat was stunned.
It frowned and began to ponder. Although it had not come into contact with humans, it seemed to be much safer to deal with humans compared to the danger it was currently facing.
Although the white cat had never interacted with humans before, it was said that humans had the ability to travel through space and leave the secret realm.
Although the white cat already had the moon essence mirror, it was severely injured and in a bad state. It did not have enough power to activate the moon essence mirror.
Although cooperating with the humans was no different from asking a tiger for its skin, the white cat had no choice now. It could not delay for much longer.
Moreover, that human was already on the verge of death. It was said that humans knew how to repay kindness. “It should be worth it to save one’s life in exchange for a way for me to live, isn’t it?” the white cat mused.
It wanted to take a gamble.
The white cat kept thinking and weighing the pros and cons. Finally, it gritted his teeth and activated its innate ability, pulling all the ecstatic trolls into an illusion.
The hundreds of giant demons suddenly stopped moving.
“Huff! Huff!”
The white cat panted heavily.
The troll’s meat was sour and bitter, and it did not want to eat it unless it was necessary.
After panting for a while, the white cat slowly walked into the troll tribe.
The human was hung on a long pole in the center of the tribe by the trolls. One of his legs and one of his arms were missing, and there was a large hole in his chest. His heart could be seen beating slowly in it, and a part of his lungs was missing.
The white cat frowned. This human was almost beyond saving.
If it were not for the strong physique of the human martial artist, he would have died from such a serious injury.
“Human.”
The white cat called out softly. In order to achieve its own goal, it did not even hesitate to use the?little demonic energy it had left to barely keep the male human alive.
The martial artist who was on the verge of death barely opened his eyes.
“You speak human language. Demon-”
“I want to make a deal with you,” the white cat said slowly.
“We are martial artists. There’s nothing much to say to you demons…” the martial artist responded in an unusually weak voice. He was still able to speak now because of the white cat’s demonic power.
The white cat frowned but did not give up. “You might as well listen to my conditions first. Human, you’re in a very bad state right now, and you’re hanging on by my demonic power. I can save you and help you to leave this place. However, I hope you can take me with you when you leave Myriad Beast Mountain in exchange.”
The invigilator was stunned for a moment. He was so seriously injured that he was no longer able to think normally.
“Where are… you going?”
“Anywhere as long as it’s not the Myriad Beast Mountain. I know you humans have a way to leave the secret realm.” The white cat said, “I just want to leave this place.”
“I-I won’t make a deal with a demon. You can give up.”
The white cat frowned again.
It slowly walked in front of the martial artist and looked up. “I’m using my demonic power to keep you alive. If we can go back in time, the humans should have the means to cure your injuries. Don’t you want to live?”
“I… would rather die… than strike a deal with a demon…”
“I just want to leave Myriad Beast Mountain and not go to human territory!” the white cat exclaimed.
“Demons’ words can’t be trusted.”
“You!”
The white cat was a little angry. It had never lied.
“Are you just going to die here like this? And to be devoured by these ugly trolls?”
The martial arts examination invigilator raised his head slightly. With his already somewhat blurry vision, he saw that the hundreds of giant demons were each maintaining a strange posture and standing in place. He was slightly shocked.
This was a powerful demon in front of him.
“Looking at you, you should be considered young among humans. Don’t you think it’s a pity to die like this? You clearly still have a bigger future ahead of you. As long as you promise to take me out of Myriad Beast Mountain, I can save you!”
“I…”
“You have to think carefully. Are there any important things you haven’t done? You can’t do anything once you’re dead,” the white cat said.
The white cat did not want to die, so it wanted to make a deal with this human.
The martial artist’s mind was in a daze for a moment. His condition was at its worst, and it was already very difficult for him to remain awake.
“Something important…” the martial artist murmured softly. He finally remembered that he still had a very important thing to do.
“I can… promise you…”
The white cat was pleasantly surprised, “Really?! I’ll save you now! I can even help you take revenge!”
As it spoke, it stomped her foot slightly, and the khaki-colored pearl above its head immediately glowed. In an instant, the earth waves surged and buried all the giant demons in an instant.
“No. There’s no need to save me.” The martial artist said with difficulty, “Help me spread the news that an accident happened during the martial arts examination. Geological changes happened at the foot of Myriad Beast Mountain in the territory controlled by humans… and regional chaos. I can don’t leave. You can use my secret realm’s watch to teleport. Please be sure to send this message out…”
The martial artist’s consciousness was getting blurred, and he could not hold on any longer even with the white cat’s demonic power.
As for the wristwatch, it did not actually have the function of active teleportation.
However, the martial artist could not remember clearly.
The white cat was stunned. “At the foot of the mountain? I’ve never controlled the ley lines at the foot of the mountain! How can it be?” it thought.
The white cat carefully recalled that the worm pearl that could control the movement of Myriad Beast Mountain’s ley lines was in its possession. Logically speaking, it should be the only one who could control Myriad Beast Mountain’s ley lines.
However, it was true that it had never controlled the leyline at the foot of the mountain.
Although there were many demonic beasts and demons at the foot of the mountain, their levels were too low and their bloodlines were mixed, which was not beneficial to the white cat.
Moreover, if the white cat went to the foot of the mountain with its demonic power, the strong demonic aura would be as conspicuous as a bright light in the mist. The white cat was not so foolish to waste its limited demonic power to control the earth vein at the foot of the mountain.
Up until now, it had been dealing with the powerful demons who were chasing it.
“Why did the foot of the mountain change?” it wondered.
The white cat could not figure it out, and a human-like confused expression appeared on his face.
It was also the first time it had used the worm ball, so it was not sure if the change at the foot of the mountain had anything to do with it.
This martial artist did not seem to hear what the white cat said.
“Time… is running out… Who knows how many children will die if we’re a second slower? My life… is not important…”
The white cat looked at the human martial artist in a daze and with an unusually complex expression.
“I can help you.”
“T-Thank you… I’ll teach you how to use the watch…”
The white cat leaned over and listened to the martial artist, who explained the usage of the watch with difficult. However, the martial artist’s explanation was actually incorrect because he was on his deathbed.
Then, the martial artist died.
“I promise you. I will definitely spread this message out,” the white cat uttered softly.
It used the little demonic energy it had left to lift up the martial artist’s body and lay it flat on the ground.
“There are actually creatures that are not afraid of death… Humans are really strange,” it muttered to itself, with a slight feeling of admiration in its heart.
It crouched?in front of the martial artist and was about to activate the watch.
However, at this moment, an angry roar exploded behind the white cat.
“Damned demon! What did you do to that child!”
