"Who’s so annoying, waking me up just as I fell asleep."

Yin Si came out with a gloomy face, rubbing his skull. It was not difficult to see that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.

Not only Yin Si, but all the NPCs in the village were startled by the noise and stuck out their heads, quickly retracting them upon seeing the demon floating in the air.

"What?!"

However, the old beggar was different. After seeing the appearance of the demon, an indescribable sense of familiarity washed over him, which made him feel a strong affection for the demon.

Could it be...

The old beggar thought of an incredible possibility and, not caring about the danger to the village, ran excitedly out of his dwelling, trembling as he shouted, "Child, is it you?"

With these words, he expressed the longing and the expectant hope that had built up over many days, as well as the heartfelt love a father has for his child.

Hearing this, the demon’s heart thumped violently, the blood flowing faster in his veins, as if something was about to burst forth from his mouth, which added to his irritation.

"Where did this annoying old fool come from? He’s quite bold!"

The demon’s entire body emitted a fierce aura, his intent to kill was unmistakable, "Beat it, spout any more nonsense, and I will kill you!"

"You..."

The old beggar’s face showed a look of pain. When he saw the demon’s violently throbbing heart, he heaved a deep sigh, his expression forlorn; he seemed to age a decade in that moment.

"Hehehe, interesting, got to watch a good show for free."

Yin Si smirked, glancing at the old beggar and then at the demon, his expression one of understanding.

Su Ran had once sought Yin Si’s help about Dog Egg being unconscious; it wasn’t hard for him to deduce the situation.

"Damn Undead, go to hell!"

The demon, enraged, flapped his giant wings furiously. His fingers curved into claws, striking fiercely at the devious merchant, Yin Si. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Hey, fighting a demon for the first time, how novel."

Yin Si said so, but his eyes became extremely serious. Because of the fast movement speed, multiple afterimages appeared, and under the cover of his black robe, it was impossible to distinguish which one was the real body.

Just then, the Drought Fiend burst out from the side, barked angrily, and lashed at the demon.

In her hands, the Hit Dog Whip moved as if it had a life of its own, shooting out like a venomous snake. The whip emitted a three-inch sharp edge in mid-air, transforming into a blade and striking at the demon’s body.

"Hmph!"

Faced with this sudden strike, the demon snorted coldly, changing the direction of his wings and effortlessly dodging the Drought Fiend’s ambush. But before he could continue his assault, he was shocked to find that his pair of wings had stopped working!

Without a doubt, this was Su Ran’s Air-restriction Stone at work again. After using the air-restriction ability, he glanced up at the sky subconsciously and, seeing that Shuxin hadn’t been affected by the rain this time, he finally felt relieved.

"Plop."

The uncontrollable demon fell from the sky to the ground, triggering the trap set up by the pebble.

"Swoosh!"

Lots of vines drilled out from the ground, Wrapping the demon within, even the players who were watching the excitement were implicated, unable to move.

"Damn, what’s happening?"

"Really freaking unlucky, even watching the show brings trouble!"

"What are you still standing around for? Hurry up and chop down these vines, and rescue us!"

The player controlled by the vines panicked and sought help from the players behind him.

"Hurry up and make your move, rescuing people is the top priority!"

Among the group of players, it was the leader of the small guild who had some authority, and he quickly took command, directing everyone to carry out the rescue.

"Damn this woman, she’s nowhere to be found when needed the most, serves her right her territory couldn’t be taken!"

The guild leader looked around in frustration and didn’t see Shuxin. Turning around, he suddenly froze.

Next to Shuxin, a ferocious-looking Bone-eating Beast appeared, chewing on a black stone in its mouth, emitting black aura all over its body, which continued to rise as the beast’s size also gradually increased.

"Is this... an evolution state? Holy shit, a top-notch pet!"

The guild leader’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the black stone in the mouth of the Bone-eating Beast; he had seen this stone before it was the reward given by the demon to that woman!

"No wonder she hasn’t come over, she’s stumbled upon a great opportunity!"

Faced with this situation, the guild leader could only take responsibility on himself, acting as the temporary commander, and loudly directed the nearby players: "After freeing these brothers, the mages should attack the altar from a distance, healers pay attention to protection, and once the traps are gone, all forces attack!"

The players from other guilds gave him an unexpected glance. One of the warrior players voiced a doubt, "Dude, it’s not that we don’t want to follow your orders, but with so many traps around, going there means certain death. Wouldn’t it be better to let that demon trigger all the traps? That way, we could be a lot safer, don’t you think?"

"This brother is right. If the altar is attacked, that Undead Bone Dragon would definitely crawl out of its coffin, and with the trap restrictions, wouldn’t we just be asking for trouble?"

Another warrior player added, showing no desire to take action and no respect for the small guild leader.

"Do whatever you want!"

The guild leader was fuming with anger, "If you consider this and that, if the opportunity is missed, see how you’ll make up for it!"

"Stop arguing, let’s just wait for Boss Shu to get here. She’s not in a hurry, so why are you?"

A player who had just escaped from the vines sneered, his words laced with malice, "Could it be that the two of you..."

"Hahaha, I feel a bit sorry for Crane That Doesn’t Dance!"

"Love is a beam of light; it makes him anxious!"

The group of players burst into loud laughter, thick with mockery.

"Hmph!"

The guild leader, face alternating between shades of green and white with anger, snorted coldly, no longer dealing with these players, and turned to head towards the back, followed by a hundred or so underlings, who also looked somewhat embarrassed.

After this interlude, the players all instinctively stepped back, fearing they would be affected by the traps, and just watched the demon’s spectacle.

...

Speaking of the demon, he broke free from the traps set by the small stone in just a few moments and escaped.

There was no helping it; with the small stone’s strength, managing to control the demon for even one second was a huge accomplishment. The gap in their powers was just too great!

"Damn it!"

However, to the demon’s chagrin, he had just escaped the vine trap when he stepped into another one, this time a web trap that drastically slowed his movements.

"Snap!"

The whip of the Drought Fiend struck the demon, a crisp sound echoed, and a stripe of blood quickly appeared on his chest. But before the Drought Fiend could continue its attack, the demon broke free from the web trap and dashed to one side.
