129: Probe

Five months had passed since the Demon Clan breached the first line of defense.

According to daily reconnaissance, as more and more exotic beasts were hunted, the strength of the Demon Clan increased.

Of course, their numbers also decreased significantly.

But what the Demon Clan lacked least was numbers.

As long as there was gray mist in the Abyss, demon worms would continuously be produced, giving birth to Small Demonss.

So, one batch would diminish, only for another to arrive.

“These demons should be locked underground to slaughter each other to their hearts’ content.”

“Have you heard? The defenses of over a dozen more countries have fallen.”

“No way, are they that weak?”

Indeed, several more lines of defense had fallen.

The demons were currently foraging everywhere, but if your defense line was too weak, who could resist the temptation of food gathered together?

A weak defense line was like a watermelon; you could crack it open and eat it, so why not?

Only something with strong defenses, like a durian, could temporarily avoid being coveted, yet someone would always find a way to pry it open.

As the Demon Clan grew stronger, ordinary foraging was no longer enough to satisfy their desires.

The desire for slaughter was surging.

More and more demons were gathering towards White Mist City.

.......

“Mr. Lin Ye, although it’s very dangerous, your reconnaissance is urgently needed right now.”

While Lin Ye was training, a mission was finally assigned to him.

“No problem.”

This reconnaissance mission was certainly not going to be easy.

Things were not like before.

The Demon Clan’s strength had surged.

Most importantly, their main forces had also arrived.

According to daily official reports, many high-blooded demons had been discovered.

Among the Middle Demon, there were very powerful Snake Demon, Greater Demons, and Succubi.

These demons were already comparable to the top Star Level among humans.

This put everyone under great pressure.

Most countries on Blue Star concentrated their forces, transferring all Star Gates from smaller areas to large cities to reduce losses.

However, smaller countries without backing had no choice and no ability to transfer, so they could only be defeated one by one.

The mission Lin Ye was assigned this time was to investigate the enemy’s force distribution, troop deployment, and main combat power.

For any other scout, this would be an impossible mission.

Such a mission often required the sacrifice of countless scouts to obtain information.

And Blue Star did not have that many elite scouts to sacrifice.

Lin Ye, who possessed both Star Eyes and great strength, naturally became the first choice.

Lin Ye packed his equipment, putting on the recording device given to him by the officials; this device could record everything he saw from his perspective, making it a very miraculous piece of equipment.

Before leaving, he glanced at his panel.

He had successfully upgraded another ability to Primordial Grade. Gas Source Flow reaching Primordial Grade meant that every cell in Lin Ye’s physical body was a small Qi Sea, and his recovery ability had reached the point where he could continuously absorb Star Power as long as there was enough outside.

After absorbing the star stone, his amplitude reached 210. Now, he was almost stronger than most Star Level human bodies in terms of amplitude.

Furthermore, after several months of study, he had also roughly created a skill, but unfortunately, its completion was not yet enough.

He set off this time full of confidence; not only was he strong, but he was also the Son of Destiny.

However, he would absolutely not make any boasts; it was unlucky.

He left the city from a hidden spot within it.

Upon seeing the outside world again, he was filled with shock.

In his Star Eyes' field of vision, what was once a vibrant forest had turned scorched black, with dead trees everywhere. Any occasional green he saw was also fragmented and ruined.

If the plants were like this, let alone the exotic beasts.

Countless demons searched for prey everywhere, and their astonishing perception left the exotic beasts nowhere to hide.

“Got you, little darling.”

A Small Demons excitedly pulled out a third-tier rodent from a hole in the ground.

The small mouse trembled with fear, attempting to defend its Life by biting.

The Small Demons completely ignored the mouse’s bites and was about to swallow it whole.

“This is mine.”

Another Small Demons pounced on it.

The two engaged in a bloody fight over a single small mouse.

Lin Ye secretly shook his head.

A savage, violent, and bloody race.

As for how he understood the demon language?

Are you kidding? This stuff had already been popularized by the officials.

To fight against a civilization, a race, one must learn from their strengths to control them, taking their essence and discarding their dross.

Although the demon language had a strange pronunciation, at least it was a pronunciation. If it were like the Mohe people, it would definitely be impossible to learn, as they didn't even have the organs for it.

He entered the void, concealing his figure.

His mission was arduous, and the sooner it was completed, the better.

Within his Star Eyes' vision, everything was desolate.

How long had it been? Less than a year! The Demon Clan had completely destroyed this land.

What a terrifying race.

Humans had developed this region for so many years, and it remained vibrant. Once the Demon Clan arrived, everything was ruined.

The distribution of the Demon Clan’s strength also came into view.

Small Demonss were only fit to eat dust behind the Lower Demon, picking up scraps that the Greater Demons didn't care for. The Middle Demon, on the other hand, occupied the most prosperous areas, which became their paradise, still vibrant, but the vitality was constantly being destroyed.

He discovered a pattern.

Looking out, if it was barren, the demon strength there was definitely not strong.

If there was still Life, it was a gathering place for Lower Demon.

If there was a large, vibrant area, that meant Middle Demon.

Goodness, the hierarchy was strict.

All the good things had to be given to the boss; the underlings couldn't even get a sip of soup.

This, however, made his reconnaissance work much easier.

As he was investigating, an object in front of him caught his attention.

It couldn't be seen through. Goodness, that strange object he missed before.

An unexpected surprise, an unexpected surprise!

This was once a secret base of the Polar Bear Nation, but it had been destroyed beyond recognition, and a stone-like strange object lay on this conspicuous ruin.

This thing could really hide; if he hadn't had Star Eyes, he probably wouldn't have been able to spot it.

It was unremarkable, just like a truly ordinary stone.
