Early the next morning, as Zheng Yichen left leisurely, Lin Yaoyao couldn’t help but purse her lips, still feeling a bit unwilling. After changing her clothes and casually combing her hair in front of the mirror, she followed and ran out.
"Brother Chang Qing, wait for !"
At the entrance of Qi Family Town, Lin Yaoyao stood beside Qi Xiangyun, wanting to accompany Zheng Yichen in his upcoming tasks, but she was acutely aware that her presence would be of little use and might only hinder the overall operation.
"Brother Chang Qing, you must be careful," said Lin Yaoyao with an air of conflict, then turned to Liu Hongzhao, "And you too, Hong Zhao."
"I’m going to beco a Hunter," Zheng Yichen said with a smile to Lin Yaoyao, before he climbed onto his motorcycle. Liu Hongzhao naturally joined him, sitting on the side. She was familiar with many modern modes of transport; aside from riding horses or bikes, she usually maintained this habit when cycling alone.
As for the four Diviners who were following the team, they rode horses. The Qi Family Town had horses, but these were not from this world; rather, they were brought back by Lin Yaoyao and her group. The Diviners were quite thrilled to see the horses because, in this world, normal horses were a rare breed.
There were so horses transford by alien demons, but those were tough to ta, and most of them didn’t look fit to be ridden, only to pull carts. Riding them? Many of the transford horses had spikes on their backs.
"Stop looking," Qi Xiangyun tapped Lin Yaoyao’s waist. Lin Yaoyao withdrew her gaze, no longer able to see the figures in the distance.
"I also wanted to ride on Brother Chang Qing’s bike."
"You make it sound like I didn’t," Qi Xiangyun said with so curiosity, "What happened last night?" She was certain of the outco, but she couldn’t help wanting to gossip with her best friend.
"Uh, well, it was okay, I guess," Lin Yaoyao said, her eyes darting away, before Qi Xiangyun grabbed her cheek.
"That’s how you look when you lie!"
"Cough cough, what else could happen, Brother Chang Qing slept on the floor," Lin Yaoyao said, wriggling free from Qi Xiangyun’s hand with a tone of regret. She wasn’t too keen on ntioning that she had made Zheng Yichen sleep on the floor—it wasn’t sothing she wanted!
"? Why didn’t you sleep on the floor?"
"..."
After a mont of thought, Qi Xiangyun continued, "There was extra bedding in your room, I won’t prepare that sort of thing again in the future."
"Ah! Let’s not talk about that!" Lin Yaoyao was sowhat flustered, and seeing her reaction, Qi Xiangyun laughed.
"Hahaha, let’s go back. How about we visit the martial arts training hall? The skeletons caught by Brother Chang Qing are performing quite well."
The skeletons’ performance was indeed impressive, but it was troubleso for the students practicing martial arts.
...
In the wilderness, Yi Nan took so beans from a bag to feed the horse beside him. He looked at so distant figures and said, "A month ago, we could still see unsteady alien demons stumbling around, but now, such alien demons have vanished."
"The alien demons evolve too quickly; the future of the human race is... tough," Diviner Wei Xue comnted somberly. They had long noticed what Yi Nan ntioned, but what could be done about it? With the human race’s population reduced to one tenth, the alien demons numbered in the millions.
The vulnerability of the human race seed almost inevitable.
"No matter how difficult, we must keep going," said Diviner Huan Zhen calmly, "The human race has co from the barbaric era to now, having confronted the Supre Demon. The current situation is just a new challenge."
"Hahaha, but first, we have to deal with the Supre Demons," Yui Anhe laughed, "The Supre Demons of old had no substitutes, but now they do."
His words left Diviner Huan Zhen silent for a mont. He couldn’t deny that the human race had been able to confront the Supre Demons largely because they were the protagonists in the Mortal Realm without alternatives. As a result, the Supre Demons had been ’going easy’ on the human race.
But now, with alien demons as a new race that could substitute humans, and the greatly reduced number of the human race, the dormant Supre Demons had resurfaced. If the human race wouldn’t be extinct, then they would certainly fall and beco playthings for the bloodthirsty Supre Demons.
Facing the alien demons, the pressures on the human race in the current world were imnse, yet these could still be considered tests. But with the addition of the unstable factor of the Supre Demons, it wasn’t rely a test—it was desperate straits.
"Indeed, we cannot leave the Supre Demons be. Even if we can’t get rid of them, we need to find a way to fight for enough ti for the human race to heal and recuperate," Huan Zhen said with a heavy tone.
"Ha, we also have to ensure the legacy of the human race. I think, if we could try, so of the alien demons could be assimilated into the human race," Wei Xue suggested, sharing his thoughts, "After regaining their wisdom, alien demons will retain their original human mories."
"Even the martial arts, spells, and various knowledge they co across in the future will be related to the human race."
"The idea is good, but the Supre Demons won’t let it happen easily," said Huan Zhen. He didn’t oppose or resist Wei Xue’s idea; in fact, under the current situation, there was no conflict in their goals, as both were thinking about how to help the human race recover.
If the human race couldn’t recover and the origin of its legacy was extinguished, then everything would belong to the alien demons. Wei Xue’s idea of assimilating so alien demons into the human race was also a thod, but any subsequent issues would have to wait until there was a future to consider.
"In the end, isn’t the Supre Demon the main problem?" Yui Anhe snorted, "But co to think of it, we probably have the simplest Supre Demon hunt in history."
