"Excuse me, did you happen to see who stole our Earth Dragons?" Bai Yueguang stared at the guy for a while before walking over to ask.
The Dream Demon Guard turned to look at him and smiled. "With so many demons coming and going, how would I remember?"
"What do you mean? Only we were the ones who tied up the Earth Dragons there, right? How could you not remember?"
"Well~ even though it was said to tie them up there, it doesn't mean we are obligated to watch over them. If you didn't assign someone to watch over them, then it's your own fault."
"So I'm asking who stole them! I don't care if you were responsible or not!"
"I see... " The other party paused, then said, "Well, the perpetrator looked like a lizard person, but there should be accomplices too. They're probably in the western forest by now."
Bai Yueguang stared at him for a while, then asked, puzzled, "If you knew all along and eventually told me, why didn't you say so from the beginning?"
The other person took out something about the size of a matchbox and pressed a button on top.
"So I'm asking who stole them! I don't care if you were responsible or not!"
Bai Yueguang's voice could be heard from inside.
"What's this about?"
"An exemption clause. Our captain taught us to offer assistance only after ensuring that the other party won't hold us accountable, minimizing our losses. After all, the burden of such losses falls on us lower-level personnel."
"...” Not just Bai Yueguang, I felt extremely pressured hearing this.
Heaven, this was probably taught by the Demon King, right? What a mess, is there even a camera here?
I looked around and indeed, a bright spot appeared in the upper right corner of the city wall at the prompt of the Famous Detective skill. This was probably the device.
"...Alright." Bai Yueguang scratched his head and then walked back.
"Alright, let's head to the western forest."
"The western forest, huh..."
I glanced in that direction, then looked at Oyado.
"Did they leave any traces?"
"Indeed, a group of them headed that way~"
Oyado followed some traces on the ground towards the west, then turned to look at me.
"Five demons, three with claws, presumably lizard people. And two sets of smaller footprints, probably of Dream Demons or similar races."
"Yeah, there might be more of them, considering they stole our Earth Dragons; there should be others riding on the dragons, right?"
"Not exactly, Big Sister."
Oyado pointed at the tracks on the ground.
"A lizard person took away our four Earth Dragons here, then walked to this point. Four others came over, there are no footprints of theirs from here on, which means they mounted our Earth Dragons from here."
"So the huge lizard person carried one each, and the other two rode on the remaining one."
I stretched my muscles and looked towards the west.
"Alright, everyone, let's run a bit to save some time."
"Well... as expected."
Several layers of green light shone on us, and suddenly, several different acceleration skills were added to our bodies.
"This effect looks good, but it's a shame that we can't fly... Wait, maybe there's a bonus."
Thinking this way, I estimated the size of our occupancy, then waved my hand, and a huge ice skateboard appeared directly under our feet!
"Magic is a little difficult to control."
I took out several magic crystals intending to fly while switching them out.
"Hey hey hey, is this okay!"
Aliyah got scared and directly held onto my waist.
"Well... probably."
I thought for a moment and directly summoned several handles under the ice skateboard.
"Okay, hold on tight as we go!"
After saying that, I accelerated, and amidst Aliyah and Hei Luoli's terrified cries, we flew towards the forest to the west.
At the city gate, the dream demon guard watching us leave wiped his brow.
"Thank goodness I told them the truth... Otherwise, if they found out I was lying, they would definitely come back and kill me..."
————————————poi————————————
The forest abyss is great, with needle-like leaves, which means we can see people under the trees.
However, it's easy to spot the opponent's trail as well. After entering the forest, we quickly discovered a path that seemed to have been walked by someone.
The opponents were unaware that we were following them, so finding them was likely to be along this path.
"Oh, I see."
As soon as Hei Luoli spoke, I saw several yellow-named guys appear not far ahead in the forest.
Wow, they meant business, being archers, they spotted us even before we did. Indeed, different occupations have different effects.
"Well, about 300 meters away. At 100 meters, I'll lower the altitude, and we'll make a surprise attack from above."
"You're not giving us parachutes?"
Bai Yueguang looked at me innocently.
"Stop talking nonsense and man up. You're the one with the most to worry about here."
"Aw, for real!"
Bai Yueguang was displeased and jumped off with a flip!
Wait, is this guy crazy? The distance is still quite far.
But the next moment, he pulled out a knife in mid-air, then made a slashing posture!
A black light emanated from his body, and he directly leaped into the air, turning into a black shadow and charging towards the enemy!
…
"What a convenient skill."
"Yeah..."
By the time we reached above them, Bai Yueguang had already charged into the enemy formation.
Looking down from above, I could see the Earthbound Dragon beneath their bodies, indicating that we had found the right people.
Everyone jumped down, and I also lowered my altitude, making a turn, causing the skateboard beneath me to knock down a large swath of trees, crashing to the ground.
Of course, the entire skateboard turned into ice pieces, knocking down trees. It would have been strange if it didn't break.
"What the heck is going on?! Who are you people!"
The opponents yelled as they attacked.
Suddenly, I realized something, it was the same as in the city before.
It seems like I'm the only one here who understands these demonic languages; the others have no idea what they're saying.
I thought to myself quietly and pulled out my weapon.
"They're cursing us! Let's fight to the death!"
Well, I'm just too clever.
