57. The Drunkard’s Intention

What secrets are hidden in Lin Xuefeng? Amy naturally doesn't know what the secrets are, but from the assassin's secret instructions, Amy discovered that the other party seemed to have something in his hand. That's why she was so sure and took the opportunity to come here to explore when almost all the adventurers in Baimu City were busy preparing for the hero's secret hideout.

And seeking revenge on Amy was obviously just a cover. In fact, if Amy went somewhere else today, this demon team would probably still come here, but they would find other reasons or arrange another group of people to pretend to chase her, which means they would send a group of cannon fodder to Amy.

However, no one expected that it was such a coincidence that Amy's target was Lin Xuefeng. This behavior obviously played into the hands of the demons!

In fact, if she was just a little girl, the demons would obviously not take her seriously. Of course, they still had to pay due attention to her. But in the eyes of the leader of the demon mercenary group, who seemed to be the leader of the group, with his entire group out in full force, there was obviously no need to worry even if there was an ambush on Amy's side. After all, the level was there. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were nothing but illusions!

"Very good, then send scouts into the mountains gradually. Openly, they will find the location of that little human girl for me, and secretly, they will investigate..."

"Okay, Captain!"

The last voice seemed a little unclear, so Amy didn't hear it clearly. She just vaguely heard the other party seemed to say something about a maze or an entrance, but this obviously aroused Amy's curiosity.

"I just went out on a mission and killed a few demons, and I encountered such a big event. It seems that my luck is pretty good!"

Having said this, Amy's true form immediately opened her lifeless eyes, but at this moment, a mischievous smile appeared on her face:

"Since you're looking for treasure, it wouldn't be nice for me to keep disturbing you. So... I'll just let you 'kill' him and let you search for your goal in peace!"

As he muttered to himself, the next second, Amy, one of the figures lurking in the mercenary group, instantly received the order. As she moved her feet slightly, a fallen leaf floated down lightly.

It was obviously very normal for leaves to fall in such a forest, so the surrounding demons did not react. However, that did not represent the reaction of all demons, because the next second a roar filled with anger and accompanied by a sharp flaming spear suddenly came from a tent in the center of the surrounding demon mercenaries.

"Shua~~~"

The red spear pierced through the tree trunk and then hit Amy's shoulder the next second. Caught off guard, Amy screamed in pain and was knocked away by the flaming spear. After leaving a trail of blood and the smell of burnt flesh in the air, she disappeared into the shadows around her.

"Enemy attack! Everyone on alert!"

The steady voice instantly reached the ears of all the demon mercenaries around. The next second, as if they were a well-trained army, countless weapons were drawn from their waists or backs. They looked around with full vigilance, searching for the figure that had been lurking before with sharp eyes... However, if it was so easy to be found, then Amy would not be an assassin.

and so……

"Pfft~~"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"?!"

The screams instantly attracted everyone's attention, but they could only see a black shadow disappearing behind a demon mercenary. However, the moment the black shadow disappeared, blood spurted out from the demon's neck. His palms stretched straight forward as if he wanted someone to save him, but the next second his eyes dimmed, and the whole person fell to the ground without a breath.

"..."

Silence, deathly silence. Seeing their companion suddenly fall, there was no doubt a sense of panic among the demon team. They immediately looked around again, and the previous voice once again issued an order:

"The enemy is an assassin. Three of you present your offerings. Light the torches. Fire mages, raise the bright flames. Quick!"

Orders were passed down hurriedly, and after a slight panic, they were quickly organized. Three people stood back to back, and as torches lit up from all around, flame bombs rose into the sky, creating a bright color like a sea of ​​fire even in this dense forest surrounded by green trees.

When Amy, who was lurking in the dark, saw this scene, the first thing that flashed through her mind was:

Setting fire to the mountain will result in life imprisonment... I am also ridding the people of harm!

Well, that's exactly what I meant by righteousness. Amy almost believed it herself!

"Pfft~~"

"what!"

"Ping-ling-pong-clang~~"

It was another successful attack. When a demon fell, the surrounding magic immediately shot towards that direction without caring about life and death. However, Amy had obviously come to another position at that time. The dagger in her hand immediately and mercilessly harvested the life of another demon. Because the surrounding magic aura was too strong, the screams of the other party did not even spread to the surroundings due to Amy's action.

"The third……"

Although this was her clone who came to die, it was obvious that Amy did not intend to rush up to find Shengming directly. After all, the demon mercenaries in front of her were all identified as enemies, and as a brave warrior, she had no reason to let the demons go. Without saying a word, Amy began to ruthlessly reap the lives of the demon mercenaries one by one. However, when this phenomenon was discovered by the demons, there were already dozens of corpses lying on the ground!

"Damn it, bastard!"

Such arrogant assassination behavior and concealment skills obviously finally made the figure in the tent angry. Immediately, accompanied by the bright light of the flames rising into the sky as bright as daylight, a figure slowly walked out from it.

The handsome face and the whole body shining like the sun, the man who walked out like this was obviously a demon, but except for the pair of pointed ears and the two horns on his head, he was no different from a human. However, from the ferocious magic displayed by the other party, Amy instantly confirmed his identity as a demon.

This demon... is very strong!

58. Yellow Bird

"Bang~~~"

The black and red devilish flames burned the sky like the rising sun, and turned into rain of fire and spread directly in all directions.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~~”

Like a series of flaming meteors, what can be clearly seen is the black voice that keeps dodging below the meteors. But at this moment, Amy, who was still trying her best to dodge, suddenly heard a hideous laugh in her ears:

"I found you... you bug that came to my door on your own!"

"not good!"

Amy's expression changed slightly. She knew what was behind her without looking back, but surprisingly, she had no intention of resisting the fatal blow at this moment. Instead, she suddenly turned around and rushed towards the man behind her with a ferocious face and a dazed look who had not yet reacted.

“Puff~~~”

That was the sound of a sharp knife cutting Amy in two.

"Pfft~~"

That was the sound of the dagger in his hand sliding across the opponent's right eyeball.

“Ahhhhhhhhh~~My eyes!!!”

Amidst the shrill and angry screams, a huge demonic flame erupted instantly. Amy, who was originally in the demonic flame, turned directly into ashes and disappeared into the sky. However, at the last moment of her death... she smiled!

"Orange Bird Plan... begin!"

In her main body, Amy smiled faintly, and then under her command, assassins quickly sneaked around. While secretly blocking the roads around Lin Xuefeng, they also vaguely moved away from the demon mercenary group that killed "her", as if they didn't want to be discovered by the other party.

Ye Xi had killed more than twenty enemies in her previous charge. Although it was not a lot, it was obvious that those who were brought here by the demon mercenaries were the elite among the elite. The death of more than twenty people was obviously not something that anyone could accept, not to mention that Amy had blinded one of their captain's eyes at the cost of her life. This was obviously a profit for Amy.

However, this was obviously not the case for the demon mercenaries. After all, being killed like this by a little human girl whom they had ignored so much before... was really embarrassing!

"Well, at least the trouble has been solved. Next... let's investigate with all our strength!"

Finally, it was the demon captain who had become a one-eyed dragon who spoke first in a calm tone. Amy died in his flames. This was something the captain had seen with his own eyes, so it couldn't be fake. It looked like the human girl was indeed dead, but it was a good thing to do this way. After all, they still had big things to do next, and they couldn't let a small human ruin their big things!

It's a pity for my eyes. Tsk~~ I don't know if the doctor can cure me after I go back!

"Yes!"

The subordinates received the order and went out. After confirming that Amy was dead, the entire mercenary group lost their previous calmness. Almost all the mercenaries were mobilized at once. Their action pattern was basically the same as Amy's: blocking all roads leading to Lin Xuefeng Peak, and then the main force began to march towards Lin Xuefeng Peak. However, this team did not expect:

Wherever they placed guards, behind them or on the trees nearby, there would be a figure holding a dagger lurking in the shadows, quietly lurking there, waiting for action at any time!

At the same time, not far behind the marching Demon Mercenary Group, a small figure was secretly following the other side in a certain direction, just like a small shadow.

……

"Okay, these fairy flowers should be enough, let's go down!"

As Amy was following, the two brothers on the other side were indeed veterans who had been mercenaries for many years. Although they were a bit pushy and a bit burly, they were obviously familiar with gathering herbs. After collecting the fairy flowers that Amy needed, the two brothers nodded and were about to go down the mountain when a voice suddenly sounded behind them:

"Don't go down now, the demons are down there!"

"Who?!"

The sudden voice made the two of them stand on end. They turned around and saw a familiar figure standing behind them. They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Shi Xiaohou also asked:

"Why are you here? Didn't you say we were here to collect fairy flowers?"

The person who came was none other than Amy, who asked them to come up and pick flowers. However, if they knew she was going to come up, why bother doing this?

Amy's answer to this is very simple:

"To see if you are really good guys, and if you will run away or inform the demons as soon as you leave my sight!"

Facts proved that his 'talent' was not wrong. The other party was indeed a trustworthy person. However, Shi Daniu seemed to be about to explode when Amy said this, but he was interrupted by Amy before he could say anything:

"The demons are right below us now, numbering about a hundred. A rough estimate is that most of them are above level 30. You... are no match for them, so just stay here quietly, okay?"

The commanding tone made the two brothers feel a chill in their hearts... There were more than a hundred demons, all of whom were above level 30. You know, the two brothers are only in their twenties now, and are still far from level 30!

What Amy said was indeed correct. They... couldn't win at all!

"So what should we do? Just hide here forever?"

Looking at Amy's calm expression, who was clearly not frightened by the quantity and quality, Shi Xiaohou immediately asked as if he had discovered something. Amy did not hide anything and immediately answered:

"The demon mercenaries are not looking for me. I am just a cover. Their real target is a treasure or maze in Lin Xuefeng!"

This one sentence once again made the two brothers look at each other in bewilderment.

"Lin Xuefeng... has a maze?"

This snowy mountain has been searched by countless forces, and there shouldn't be any mazes or monsters!

"I don't know about this. I overheard it. Anyway, the demons seem to have a way to find their way around the maze, so I'm planning to follow them. If possible, I'd better grab the stuff. If not..."

This time, Amy didn't need to continue, the two brothers immediately said viciously:

"If I can't snatch it away, I'll destroy it even at the cost of my life rather than hand it over to the evil demons!"

With a resolute mindset, Amy immediately swallowed back the words she hadn't finished speaking.

"Actually, I was thinking that if we couldn't grab it... we should just retreat!"

However, she always felt that saying this would damage her image as a perfect and ladylike woman, so Amy immediately fell silent.

59. Get ready to go

Amy poked out one of the demon captain's eyes, but the price was her own "life". Naturally, the demon captain was filled with anger at this. However, despite his anger, he had no way to deal with a person who was already dead and not even a corpse was left. In the end, he could only admit that he was unlucky and let his subordinates treat his blind left eye. After bandaging it casually, he once again set out on the road to find Lin Xuefeng's maze.

Amy, who was following secretly, discovered that the other party seemed to have something that could guide the direction, or a map or something. Even in this area with only heavy snow and various ice and snow cliffs, he could still easily identify the direction to go, and thus advance towards the inside little by little... However, the paths he took were all kinds of strange!

How should I put it... Sometimes we are clearly moving forward well, but suddenly we are ordered to run, and then when we are running and suddenly turn a corner, we don’t know when a passage that is just big enough for people appears on the ice wall that should have been a cliff.

What was even more frightening was that when he was walking with the other person, he suddenly turned around and saw that a hole that was wide enough for one person to pass through had appeared in the ice surface that was supposed to be at the corner behind him. Not only that, even the originally spacious road behind him had frozen into ice at some point.

"Are the roads here... allocated according to time? Or... some kind of walking pattern?"

Amy did not follow them personally, so she naturally did not have to worry about being discovered or lost, because she had no intention of following them into the maze. She just let her clone silently memorize the other party's route and various fancy turns, and then summarized them to get the two rules mentioned above. She did not make a decision until she watched that team of demons disappear right before her eyes.

"Try it once. If it doesn't work, try again at this time tomorrow. If it still doesn't work... then give up!"

It is not a task that must be completed by herself. At most, she will report the matter directly and let Shirley send someone to solve the problem here. Anyway, Amy is just interested in the things inside, but she doesn't have to get them!

Having made up her mind and relaxed, Amy immediately turned to Shi Daniu, who was waiting for instructions, and said:

"I'll go explore the way in first. If I succeed, I'll take you in. If I fail, it might just be the time difference. We'll come back tomorrow... Any questions?"

The inquiring tone was met with both of them shaking their heads. Although they still had some doubts about Amy's identity as a hero, Amy's strength was there after all. At this time, the two of them were obviously very convinced of her, so naturally they had no objections.

"Great, then...eh? Looks like we found it!"

As she was speaking, Amy was momentarily stunned, then a smile suddenly appeared on her face... Just now, the clone that was following the other party had used the same method to walk through the snowy mountain, and had actually opened a passage leading to the interior of the snowy mountain. This naturally made Amy overjoyed, and she said to the two people behind her without hesitation:

"Okay, we've found the way, let's go!"

"Hey? Have you found the way?"

"Okay, let's go!"

The two of them immediately followed Amy and planned to let her lead the way. However, they never expected that Amy did not intend to set off after she finished speaking. Instead, she just stood there quietly, not knowing what she was doing. Although the two of them had no intention of disturbing her, after two minutes, Shi Xiaohou finally asked cautiously:

"Um...anything else?"

Amy suddenly showed an embarrassed expression. Shi Xiaohou, who thought she had encountered some difficulties, had just finished speaking when Amy suddenly said to Shi Daniu beside Shi Xiaohou:

"Um... can you carry me there? I'll show you the way. I can't see!"

Although they could make their way by relying on induction, the magic power of this snowy mountain was too dispersed, which caused Amy's induction to drop significantly. In order to reduce unnecessary wasted time, the simplest and most convenient method was naturally better.

"Huh? Can't you see?"

To be honest, no matter who saw Amy for the first time, it would be impossible for them to react that she was blind. This was because Amy's performance was too normal. At this time, the two brothers were naturally stunned when they first heard the news that Amy was blind. Then, the two brothers came to their senses and made a move at the same time... that is, they stretched out their hands and shook them vigorously in front of Amy's lifeless eyes.

"Don't shake it. You can't see it, but it's still okay to sense it!"

The helpless tone made the two of them freeze immediately, and then they saw Amy's expressionless face.
