The night seemed to be coming late this evening.
When the waiting party is restless, even a short period of time can feel as long as years.
Under the paralyzing pressure that seemed to numb the brain, his figure moved out of the darkness and advanced to the next position;
After he did so, a large chunk was suddenly missing from the otherwise pitch-black night;
It was as if someone had stripped away that piece of darkness, leaving only a faint white in that area.
"Everything is going smoothly so far."
If he didn't console himself like this, he, Tu Mo, would not have the courage to be audacious;
There is no reason for someone to pass through this place, and Tu Mo deliberately came to this deserted path;
Whatever he says or does now, it is completely allowable.
What could the presence of the Demon Clan from the Senate mean?
To say that he thought the weather tonight was good and wanted to go out for a walk and enjoy the beauty of life...
No one would believe such a statement.
"Too smooth. If nothing unexpected happens next, her life will be mine!"
Tu Mo lifted his head under the moonlight, calculating his plan to kill Wang Xiaole, his fists tightening and then relaxing.
He wanted to kill Wang Xiaole!
The motive for the murderous intent was that the human suddenly appeared and hindered the Senate's victory in the martial arts competition;
But the direct trigger for the murderous intent was Ledux's attitude today.
Ledux hadn't killed a companion with his own hands in many years, so his actions today were surely a dangerous signal.
Since Ledux was able to kill Number Six and Number Seven, it was unreasonable for him not to kill other companions, unreasonable for him not to kill Tu Mo himself.
The demons in the Senate knew very well:
Wang Xiaole was an opponent they couldn't avoid. If they wanted to win the martial arts competition, they had to defeat all the participants. Otherwise, the rules wouldn't allow it.
Among the group of demons, Number Three had no intention of participating, and Number One continued to stay hidden in the depths of the Senate. Therefore, the most likely candidate to defeat Wang Xiaole was Ledux.
But Ledux was cautious. He wouldn't rashly engage in battle without truly understanding his opponent. And to uncover all of Wang Xiaole's methods and hidden cards, it was clear that using Number Six and Number Seven as guinea pigs was not enough; several more companions would have to be sacrificed.
The Senate emphasized order, and the order of the elders' battles would naturally follow their ranks.
First came Number Seven, then Number Six, and right after that was Number Five;
Unfortunately, Tu Mo was "Number Five";
This also meant that Tu Mo himself was the next likely sacrifice!
To die... to truly die!
To be defeated by Wang Xiaole on stage, then to have his life ended, that was one kind of death;
To be defeated and luckily spared, only to face Ledux's rage afterwards, he would still die;
Either way, he was facing the fate of death.
Although there was a possibility of "victory," Tu Mo had no confidence in winning even the slightest bit.
He didn't believe for a moment:
That he could be stronger than Number Six, who had received a large amount of magical power infusion;
And it didn't need to be explained:
Even with the enhancement, Number Six was instantly defeated by that human. Such a huge difference in power could possibly threaten the top three seats of the Senate.
If you know there is a significant awareness between you and the other party, and you proactively initiate a challenge head-on, what's the difference between that and seeking death?
The Earth Demon is not that foolish. Knowing that he cannot win openly, he prepares to play some tricks and uses despicable means to kill Wang Xiaole;
Taking someone's life when they least expect it is more hopeful than engaging in a frontal battle, at least there is a slight possibility of succeeding.
Even before Wang Xiaole stepped down, the Earth Demon had already prepared for tracking, and the tool he would use was a living creature.
At this moment, a layer of soil rose up from the ground, suddenly reaching a height almost equal to that of the Earth Demon;
Its shape cannot be described as "regular" or "irregular," but rather resembles a wriggling snake.
The reason it looks this way is that inside the clay covering it, there is a monster that resides within, as if the clay were a shell.
The monster is at the second stage of the "killer-level," so let's call it the "Earth Snake" for now.
The "Earth Snake" is a product of mixed magic and ferocious beasts, obtained unexpectedly. It can carry out the Earth Demon's will, by tracking, monitoring, and even killing the target;
It only has one drawback, which is that it cannot target "unseen targets." It must have seen the prey with its own eyes in order to track it.
Just before the Senate left, the "Earth Snake," following its master's orders, locked its green snake eyes on Wang Xiaole;
Then, like a earthworm, it burrowed into the ground, tracing its path all the way, and finally arrived at a location not far from the hotel.
As long as the Earth Demon follows the "Earth Snake's" movement trajectory, he will know where Wang Xiaole lives. Once he knows the location, his cunning plan can be put into action.
The Earth Demon's plan is as follows:
In an undisclosed manner, he will lurk around Wang Xiaole's residence;
When the night is quiet and the target is estimated to be asleep, he will control the "Earth Snake" to sneak into the room and seize the opportunity to kill the sleeping target.
Currently, the Earth Demon is not going to the vicinity of the hotel, but instead lurking in this secluded place where no one passes by, for fear that getting too close will raise Wang Xiaole's alertness.
Once a person enters the "Pomo" or a higher level, their perception becomes ten times stronger than before, like becoming a "human radar."
Within the range of their perception is the dangerous area. Once a demon enters, it will immediately alert the person involved.
Taking this into consideration, the Earth Demon can only stay outside the range of perception, in the so-called "safe zone," and dare not bear any further risks.
You should know that:
The main reason the tracking has gone smoothly until now is because both the "Earth Snake" and the Earth Demon remember the principle of keeping a distance;
Otherwise, if they get a little bit closer, they will be discovered. Then those demons, who have already gone to the underworld, will be pleasantly surprised to find their comrade coming down as well.
"It's not yet time to act, not yet time..."
In an extremely excited and nervous state of mind, the Earth Demon clenched his fist tightly, using his left hand to hold onto his right fist, and lowered his voice to constantly remind himself.
There is a human saying that can persuade a restless heart:
The mantis stalks the cicada!
Now Wang Xiaole is that "cicada," and as the victorious "mantis," he must not reveal himself too early.
Due to their rejection of human culture, the earth demons are not fully aware of this proverb and are unaware of the second half:
"A yellow sparrow follows!"
