"Hiss, hiss, hiss... All right, all right. Then hurry up and report." (Human language)
The green snake climbed up to the treetop and changed its language as Grandma Cassie wished, but its glowing evil eyes still exuded a malicious aura.
Grandma Cassie reported truthfully what she had observed. In the Sand Duck Canyon incident, the Shadow Devouring Rock Demon Svalerok and his followers, the long-eared jerboa clan, were killed. The killer was suspected to be Viviana Feiqi of the Feiqi family.
Other possible participants include:
The Gude Town Cavalry, 15 men, were completely wiped out;
The young boy Banning and the young girl Wei'er from Ella Village survived, but both were seriously injured.
"That's all."
"Hiss...Okay, I'll report to my superiors. I'll contact you when new instructions come in. Thank you for your hard work."
The green snake said nothing more. It slid down the tree trunk, slipped into the grass and disappeared.

It is also cloudy in the Yuyuan Empire today.
The demons here have been troubled by the problem of clothes not being able to dry all year round.
In the gloomy Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the Lord of Eternal Winter, wearing a stone ghost mask, was pacing back and forth. This was a necessary action when he was thinking.
Not long ago, the latest news reported to him by Digui gave him some ideas.
——(Viviana Scarlet... is still very young... Could it be that the Scarlet Family is secretly raising a "son of God"?)
—(This time, the dying traveled to the Prison Star World on May 5th… All the dying traveled with their bodies… Viviana Scarlet has nothing to do with the dying…)
——(Banning...survivors of Luka Village...but Luka Village's past population information is no longer available...)
—(Weier…a victim of the Great Migration…has lived in Ella Village for five years…)
After some thought, the Lord of Eternal Winter believed that "Banning" was most likely the one waiting to die, because his background and origins could no longer be verified, and the date he joined Ella Village was exactly May 5th.
To say it was a coincidence would be too much of a coincidence.
After walking back and forth a dozen times, the Lord of Eternal Winter made a decision.
"Earth ghost, listen to my orders."
The Lord of Eternal Winter stopped. Behind him, the snake demon with evil eyes, the "Earth Ghost", had been kneeling there waiting for a long time.
"Assign two spies to monitor Banning in Ella Village. Report his appearance, clothing, and location daily... and any other suspicious activity."
"That's the only order. Go ahead."
"Under the command, Earth Ghost."
·
After the Earth Ghost left, the Lord of Eternal Winter began to walk back and forth again.
Since his last order, the Sky Demons and Earth Demons have each brought back a number of suspected deceased persons who meet the screening criteria. However, the Lord of Eternal Winter would not allow the busy "Only Demon Lord" to personally deal with so many messy people.
Furthermore, the situation on the front lines has been tense recently, and the schedule for "The One and Only Demon Lord" is temporarily unavailable. The Lord of Eternal Winter himself has not slept for three days and three nights.
The most feasible way now is to observe for a while. After narrowing down the number of targets and locking down the identities of the deceased, he will ask the "Only Demon Lord" to eliminate the roots.
It's not that the Lord of Eternal Winter has no confidence in his own strength, nor that he doesn't have capable men at his disposal, but he must use all his strength to wipe out the "waiting to die" in the camp of the Good God.
As the old saying goes, the Lord of Eternal Winter is a staunch opponent of the saying "why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" He firmly believes that even a lion will use all its strength to kill a rabbit.
Even if the enemy is just a fishmonger, he will not hesitate to use a steamroller to crush him to death.
The Lord of Eternal Winter now has a premonition: Banning from Ella Village is the "one waiting to die" in the Good God camp this time.

Viviana rushed back to Good Town during the day and night, just within the date agreed with Albert.
However, the careful Albert discovered that Viviana had an unpleasant smell of "poverty", and there was a faint black spot on the tip of her nose under the veil, which made him frown.
"My Lord, forgive my presumption... Did you come into contact with anyone of humble origins in Shadou Canyon?"
"A person of humble origin?"
Viviana didn't react at first. She didn't care about people's identities like Albert did.
After trying hard to recall, Viviana remembered that Banning didn't seem to be very wealthy.
When she thought of Banning, Viviana subconsciously remembered what happened in the cave, which made her instinctively not want Albert to know about Banning's existence.
"No, no... But there are quite a lot of people in Shadou Canyon, including the cavalry from Gude Town..."
Viviana tried hard to deceive him, but she didn't know that the black spot on her nose had already betrayed her.
"My Lord, could it be that you accidentally got some dirt on your nose during the battle? There's still some on your nose."
"Dirt? Nose?"
Viviana took off her veil and touched her nose, only then did she realize that there was really something on her nose.
——(Strange...when was it...?)
After thinking about it for a while, Viviana suddenly realized that this must be Banning's revenge while she was sleeping!
——(No wonder others are laughing when they see me!)
——(I was wondering what they were laughing at!)
It was not until this moment that Viviana realized that the "masterpiece" she left on Banning's face when she woke up in the cave had been cleaned up completely. At that time, she was distracted and forgot about it.
——(Banning... remember this!)
Viviana was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but in front of Albert, she had to remain calm and keep the secret.
"Maybe it was accidentally picked up during the battle."
Viviana wiped the dust off her nose nonchalantly, and Albert had no other evidence, so he believed Viviana's statement.
"Please be careful of the poor and lowly, my Lord. Only the noble are worthy of your company and conversation."
"Um……"
Viviana ignored Albert's "advice" and was already used to it.
To Viviana, Albert was not a bad man. He was very loyal, capable, and had considerable strength. He was an excellent attendant.
However, Viviana also knew that Albert had significant problems with his character and values. His class consciousness and contempt for the lower classes were deeply rooted.
Perhaps one day, Albert might suffer a disaster because of his prejudice, but Viviana could not change his mind.
·
The next morning, the red and black elders of the Feiqi family returned to Gude Town.
Seeing the two angry elders, Viviana secretly felt lucky that she had returned in time, otherwise she would have suffered the wrath of the elders.
Before the two elders spoke, Viviana had already guessed that they had failed to catch the divination rabbit spirit this time.
The result was written on their faces with their angry expressions.
In fact, if you just think about it, you will know that this is a very simple truth. If the divination rabbit spirit cannot even predict the calamity that will happen to her, then how can she make a name for herself in this Prison Star World?
But...why did the divination rabbit spirit miscalculate the pigeon blood? This was the only thing Viviana couldn't figure out.
The clever Viviana did not seek death by asking the red and black elders about the divination of the rabbit spirit, but just waited quietly for the two elders to give instructions.
The Prison Red Elder Rodrigo glanced at Viviana and didn't mention the divination rabbit spirit. Instead, he said...
"Viviana, we've found a battlefield suitable for you on the front line. Once you're ready, come with us."
“…Okay, Elder.”
Viviana accepted the instructions calmly, but she was surprised in her heart!
She didn't expect that she could continue to fight on the battlefield without retrieving the pigeon blood. This really made her very happy!
Only on the battlefield can she continue to improve her skills!
"Albert, you don't have to come with us this time. You will be responsible for continuing to search for clues about pigeon blood in Lord Green Lizard's territory."
On the other hand, Albert received an instruction that made him unhappy. He did not expect that he would be separated from Viviana.
"...As you command, Elder."
Although he was unwilling to accept the defeat, facing two elders whose strength was countless times stronger than his, Albert had no choice but to obey silently, not even daring to frown.
"Also, there's one more thing I want to share with you two."
The Hell Red Elder Rodrigo cleared his throat. It seemed that what he was about to say would make him unhappy.
"From now on, 'Divination Rabbit Spirit Navinaison' is blacklisted by the Feiqi Family. Anyone who discovers the whereabouts of the Divination Rabbit Spirit must report it immediately. The Feiqi Family will always remember the Divination Rabbit Spirit Navinaison's shameless behavior and will definitely make her pay the price!"
As she said these words, Viviana saw that the Red Prison Elder Rodrigo's hands were clenched into fists and shaking.
It seems that the divination rabbit spirit caused the Feiqi family to suffer considerable losses this time.
"In the Feiqi family, revenge must be paid, and kindness must be repaid double."
Finally, the Red Prison Elder Rodrigo took the lead in swearing the family motto, and after he finished swearing, the others followed suit.
Listening to her family's motto, Viviana couldn't help but think of Banning.
——(That kiss in the cave...was I really repaying the favor?)
As she recalled it more and more, Viviana gradually became less shy.
However, a feeling of melancholy lingered in her heart, making her want to meet Banning even more.
Viviana still remembers that when she asked Banning to keep the secret, Banning's response was:
——"Please rest assured, I know that I had no choice but to do that. I will definitely not tell anyone."
At that time, time was tight and Viviana didn't think much about it, but now looking back, she began to worry whether she had made Banning misunderstand her.
—(Would he think... that I could kiss anyone... just to win...?)
——(But I wasn’t… That was clearly my first kiss…)
——(Oh, if I had told him that it was my first time...)
——(Ahhh no, I’m too embarrassed to say this…!)
—(Wu(T?T)…)
The more Viviana thought about it, the more troubled she became, and finally she simply cleared her mind.
——(If he misunderstood, then just explain it to him, eh!)
The girl secretly made up her mind that when she returned from the front line, she would go find Banning and have it all clear.
But she never imagined that the next time they met, not only would she not have the chance to explain, but she would have more things to explain.
