Chapter 760: Fanning the Flames

Chapter 760: Fanning the Flames

The hunting falcon beside Feng was pinned down, and the Spirit Sphere was taken out, stunning everyone.

“Everyone, come and see the documentary.”

With that, Lin Nuo activated the Spirit Technique, causing the Spirit Sphere to emit a glow, which then projected a large screen revealing everything happening in the tribe, including details on the Magic Array and Barrier.

Even the conversation between Lin Nuo and Feng just moments ago had been recorded.

Feng was astonished. How could internal secrets be recorded without his knowledge?

“What is this…? What’s going on…?”

“What’s going on, huh? Ling Meng, why don’t you explain?”

“Oh, okay, Master.”

Ling Meng stepped up, clever and knowledgeable; she may not have used it herself, but she understood the situation well. Lin Nuo had also taught her, and she remembered it clearly.

“This is a hidden recording technique from the Demon Path. It’s advanced magic that can lurk inside a person and record images.”

“So you’re saying he’s a traitor?”

Feng was taken aback; he was, after all, an evolved Demon Beast. How could he not know if a traitor was lurking beside him?

“It could be that, or it might not. It doesn’t necessarily mean the caster is the insider, as it could also be that the caster is residing within them, unaware to the host. Then, at night, it can disperse from the host’s body and blend into the mist. The caster can extract information from the mist to obtain video segments. Master, am I right?”

“Very good, no issues there.”

Lin Nuo nodded and briefly performed a spell to turn off the projected images.

The hunting falcon remained pinned down, unable to move, lying on the ground.

“So, do you understand what’s going on? Your situation has been laid bare before everyone, yet you’re still in a daze. Because you’re too weak, you lack confidence to fight back against the strong.”

“Uh…”

Feng hesitated, momentarily at a loss for words.

“Whether your subordinate is a traitor or not is irrelevant now. Your situation has been exposed, and I expect they will make a move against you soon. You have no choice left. You cannot survive; you can only fight back.”

Lin Nuo said with utmost seriousness, his presence imposing, instilling a sense of pressure in Feng and the other beasts present.

In an instant, Feng felt that this human boy far exceeded his expectations. The hidden recording technique that he couldn’t see through had been easily discerned by this boy.

But just seeing through the technique wasn’t enough; he was still far from being able to contend with the King.

However, the internal situation of the tribe had likely already leaked, and the King, who originally had no intention of attacking them, would certainly grow suspicious due to their sheltering of the Refining Demon Sect’s disciples and their specific setups to drive away nearby beasts.

Once the King noticed any signs of rebellion among his subordinates, whether real or imagined, he would eliminate them. After all, he was the ruler of the Demon Abyss Valley.

“You’re still hesitating. There’s nothing to consider; it’s a matter of life or death. Either you kill your way out or be killed.”

Lin Nuo said, and just then a hunting falcon came to report:

“Chief! There are now large numbers of beasts from the center of the Demon Abyss Valley roaming nearby!”

“This…”

Feng was startled, not knowing how to react.

“Clearly, now that the hidden recording technique is exposed, they will come. You have no choice left but to make a last stand; there’s still hope.”

Lin Nuo continued to fan the flames, describing the beasts merely roaming as if they were coming to attack them.

The beasts would surely multiply; after all, both he and Ling Meng had already taken down a large batch. The King would undoubtedly increase the manpower for a thorough search.

But it was only a matter of time before they couldn’t hold out; once they were found, conflict was inevitable.

“But my side only has weak beasts. If we band together for self-preservation, if the King comes personally, we definitely won’t be able to fight back.”

“You definitely won’t be able to fight back. But if I’m involved, then it changes everything. Let me put it this way: I’m more familiar with these beasts than you are. If you listen to my arrangements, we can minimize losses while breaking out. If not, once they come, you can wait for death; it’s a certainty.”

Lin Nuo continued to apply pressure to Feng, creating a sense of urgency as if the sky were falling.

Boom!

A sound of explosion came from just outside the tribe.

Lin Nuo seized the opportunity to say:

“Did you hear that? They’re going to blow up! You have no time; rally your comrades! This is your last chance.”

In reality, it was a beast trap Lin Nuo had set, akin to a landmine; stepping on it would trigger an explosion.

But it wasn’t just a landmine; it required Lin Nuo’s control to activate. He needed to initiate it himself for it to work.

Now was the perfect moment to set off the beast trap, cause an explosion, and claim it was an attack from outside, creating a sense of panic.

He was fanning the flames; he thrived on chaos and had a hand in it.

Feng, possessing a bit of human intelligence, was still somewhat naive. Under Lin Nuo’s multi-layered verbal pressure, coupled with the psychological cues, he was slowly entertaining thoughts of rebellion.

“Alright, fine, what should I do? Please instruct me.”

…

“It seems these two humans aren’t as simple as they look.”

The King elegantly sipped a cup of tea and set it down.

“They can’t stay here playing in the Demon Abyss Valley any longer. Now that the Barrier is sealed, they can only remain in the valley. Launch a comprehensive search and find them.”

“Report! My King!”

At that moment, a werewolf rushed in, looking anxious.

“What’s got you so flustered?”

“Our search party has been defeated by Feng’s tribe!”

“Feng? That Demon Eagle? His tribe consists of weak beasts; how could they defeat us?”

“That’s true, but My King, our brothers are strong and powerful, but they lack agility. They keep running, provoking, baiting, and using traps to take down our brothers. Their movements are organized and methodical, and our brothers are suffering one after another.”

The werewolf reported, explaining how Feng’s tribe utilized a strategy of mobility, constantly running, provoking, and luring their comrades into traps, incurring losses.

“Feng has such skills? And where does he get the courage to battle me?”

The King pondered but felt something was off; there must be a human guiding them from behind.

“Then let’s destroy them all together.”

The King felt it was time to take action personally; he wouldn’t allow these outsiders to run rampant in the Demon Abyss Valley.

“My King, do you really need to take action personally? There’s no need for that…”

“I won’t necessarily take action. But I want to see those rebellious humans; let’s all go together.”

“Alright! If the King is going out, everyone follow!”

Immediately, a swarm of high-level evolved Demon Beasts surged out towards Feng’s tribe.

…

“Nice, very nice.”

Lin Nuo sipped tea, looking at a batch of captured beasts, satisfied.

Currently, Ling Meng was giving him a shoulder massage, quite comfortable.

“Alright, Ling Meng, stop for a moment. You did very well.”

“Then Master, please reward me.”

“The spirit stone I just found…”

“I don’t want that; I want…”

Ling Meng directly leapt onto Lin Nuo’s lap.

“I want Master’s affection.”
