After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 188 Human-Demon Hybrid

It was a huge mountain peak, steep and secluded, shrouded in mist, with lush vegetation and swaying shadows. The rain had stopped, moonlight was shining down, and the wind was blowing the surrounding vegetation as if a group of demons and monsters were dancing wildly around.

The two followed the giant beast up the mountain at a distance. The beast slowed down when they reached the halfway point. Then, it slowly walked to the edge of the mountain and leaped off.

Su Luo's pupils contracted sharply, her mind went completely blank, and she instinctively wanted to rush out to stop him.

This mountainside is at least several hundred meters high, and that giant beast just jumped off like that?! At that height, let alone a giant beast, even the people on top probably wouldn't have survived!

Feng Xiyue and the others are still unconscious!

Lin Ji grabbed her arm and whispered, "It's alright. Have you forgotten they have protective talismans on them?"

Su Luo was taken aback.

Oh right! She forgot about the protective talisman! With the talisman, even if Feng Xiyue and the others really fell, they wouldn't get hurt!

Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief, finally putting her mind at ease.

Lin Ji pursed his lips. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Luo's concern for Chu Wenqing and the others, he still continued, "The Illusion Demons aren't stupid. They wouldn't jump off a cliff to commit suicide after a successful hunt. Since they jumped down, the real lair of the Illusion Demons must be below the cliff."

Su Luo had completely calmed down and her mind was clear. She found Lin Ji's words to be very reasonable.

"You have a point."

As she spoke, she looked up at the edge, which was still more than a thousand meters away from the two of them. The giant beast had not moved since it jumped down.

Su Luo didn't rush over to check. Instead, she waited for a while to make sure there were no other creatures around before extending her divine sense to check the surroundings. Once she confirmed there was no danger, she withdrew her divine sense.

Then, Su Luo suggested, "How about... we go take a look?"

Even before he started climbing the mountain, Lin Ji used his divine sense to explore the surrounding area while following the giant beast.

His original body was already close to the Nascent Soul stage, so even though it was just a clone, his divine sense was not weakened much. Now his divine sense could spread throughout the entire mountain.

Therefore, Lin Ji could sense the aura of all the demonic beasts on the mountain peak. Most of those demonic beasts were in very far places; the closer one got to the edge of this mountainside, the fewer demonic beasts were active there. Clearly, the demonic beasts were very wary and dared not approach the lair of the Illusion Demon.

Hearing Su Luo's suggestion, Lin Ji immediately nodded in agreement.

They're just a bunch of illusionary demons, nothing to fear. Even with only half his current cultivation, he could easily crush them...

After agreeing on their plan, the two walked forward quietly.

Su Luo followed Lin Ji silently closer to the edge of the area. When she stood there and squatted down to look down, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

The moonlight was so bright that one could clearly see the scene below.

About fifty meters below where Su Luo and the others were standing, there was a huge pit. In the middle of the pit were several thatched huts connected together. Now, many strangely shaped humanoid creatures were coming out of the thatched huts and came to a huge rock, looking up at it.

Standing atop the boulder was the giant beast that Su Luo recognized very well, with several figures lying on its back, clearly Chu Wenqing and his companions.

The phantom demon named Alan was standing next to the giant beast at that moment.

Those humanoid creatures must all be phantom demons; they look incredibly diverse, with all sorts of appearances.

Su Luo counted twice and confirmed that there were a total of thirty-five illusionary demons outside. As for whether there were any more illusionary demons hidden inside the house, she had no idea.

Su Luo couldn't help but frown.

Thirty-five phantom demons, that's quite a lot...

A direct confrontation is definitely out of the question; she's not that capable, and there are only two of them. So, how can they rescue Chu Wenqing and the others quietly?

……

At this moment, beside the boulder.

The phantom demons remained silent for a moment, their eyes fixed on the still-sleeping Chu Wenqing and his companions, swallowing hard and occasionally letting out rumbling sounds from their stomachs.

They were all so hungry...

Since the Cloud Realm closed, these phantom demons haven't had a decent meal for over a thousand years. They usually just eat other demonic beasts to replenish their energy, but they're never truly satisfied! They're not eating well at all!

Fortunately, recently, for some unknown reason, the Cloud Realm has changed again. Many human cultivators have entered the Void Illusion Realm, which has given the Illusion Demons a chance to taste it.

Unfortunately, human cultivators who come to this area are usually in groups, with very few alone. The illusion demons, not wanting to fight these cultivators head-on, can only try to lure out one or two. So far, the illusion demons have only captured two cultivators, and after dividing them among themselves, they still won't have enough to eat.

Thinking of the cultivators they had tasted three days ago, the illusion demons couldn't help but lick their lips in lingering reminiscence, their eyes filled with greed and intoxication.

Human cultivators are truly a wonderful source of nourishment! Their spiritual energy can enhance their strength, and their physical bodies are incredibly delicious...

When they looked at the three unconscious Chu Wenqing, the phantom demons became even more drooling, wishing they could pounce on them.

Alan had already noticed the expressions of the other phantom demons. Seeing their envious looks, he couldn't help but puff out his chest, his face full of self-satisfaction.

This is her prey, it belongs to her! No other phantom demon can touch it, no matter how much they want to eat it, without her permission!

Finally, one of the phantom demons couldn't contain its eagerness and asked, "Alan, when are you going to start eating? There are three people here... can you finish it all?"

This phantom demon was planning to wait until Ah Lan finished eating before picking up the leftovers.

As soon as it finished asking the question, many phantom demons immediately echoed its sentiment.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and eat, it's getting late."

"Mmm, Ah Lan, hurry up and eat! If there's anything left, share some with us! We want to try some too! It smells so good!"

"It smells so good, I'm drooling... But, Ah Lan, if you're willing to share some with me, I'll do something for you, how about that?"

"I'll make it for you too! I can do it too!"

"I can give you another gift! Didn't you like my treasure? I can give it to you!"

"And me! And me!"

The phantom demons were all eager to speak, each one extremely enthusiastic, clearly wanting to try it.

Standing on the boulder, looking at the expressions of his large group of companions below and listening to their flattering words, Alan felt his pride reach its peak.

Actually, Alan was also very hungry, but she had other plans, so she wasn't in a hurry to eat. Instead, she said, "No rush, I have to wait for the clan leader to come. But don't worry too much, there are three of us. When the clan leader arrives, everyone will get some!"

Anyway, she can't finish it all, so using the leftovers to win people over isn't a bad idea!

As expected, as soon as Alan finished speaking, the phantom demons became extremely excited and started making a ruckus. Some of them couldn't wait and turned around to run to find their clan leader.

When Alan saw the clan chief staggering towards them from afar, he raised an eyebrow and his smile widened.

The current leader of the Illusion Demon Clan is quite old, so she is currently selecting a successor. Only the most powerful Illusion Demon can become the leader! If the leader sees the prey she brings back, she might choose her as the next leader!

After waiting for a while, the patriarch of the Illusion Demon Clan finally walked over shakily, and Alan quickly jumped off the boulder to greet him.

"Clan leader! You've finally arrived! I've captured a few human cultivators, could you take a look and see what you think?"

The other phantom demons also turned around to look at their clan leader.

The clan leader then looked up at Alan, sized her up several times, and finally nodded, "Alright."

Alan smiled and gestured, "This way, please."

The demons immediately fell silent, and everyone made way for their clan leader to enter.

The clan chief approached the boulder, squinted, and carefully examined the three of them. After a while, when its gaze finally landed on Chu Wenqing, it nodded in satisfaction.

"These cultivators are all of very good quality. Not only are they full of spiritual energy, but the male cultivator also has a sword-like body, which is really rare."

Upon hearing this, the group of phantom demons immediately erupted in an uproar.

Sword bones! What an exceptionally talented swordsman! If someone like that were to consume them, they might all advance in their cultivation level!!

Alan never expected that among the cultivators he had captured there would be such a genius, and for a moment he became even more proud.

She's truly amazing! It seems the position of clan leader is definitely hers!

"but……"

The clan chief suddenly changed the subject, his gaze falling on Song Qiao, and he frowned, "How come there's a human with mixed demon blood here? This is a rare human-demon hybrid."

"what?!"

Alan's expression changed drastically. Following the clan leader's gaze, she immediately saw Song Qiao, who was still unconscious.
