There is no doubt that the bamboo basket is empty and the work is in vain.

The twelve demon-slayers were standing or sitting on the rock on the top of the mountain, and they all fell silent.

Everyone was in a depressed mood.

But fortunately, no one complained or said anything accusatory.

It's useless to say anything at this time...

However.

Ma Tianjiao felt a great pressure in this silent atmosphere.

His face looked very ugly.

This is the second time it has failed.

Suffering two consecutive failures in one day will make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, Ma Tianjiao felt that these two failures were inescapably related to him.

Thinking of this, I felt guilty.

So, he swallowed.

He apologized solemnly to the demon slayers standing around him, "I'm really sorry, everyone...it's all my fault! I couldn't confirm whether there were any demons and ghosts in this mountain, so your work was in vain!"

This was said sincerely.

After the rest of the people finished listening, they looked at each other.

Although Ma Tianjiao took all the responsibility for the matter so comprehensively.

But others can't really blame him.

So as not to chill the heart of a demon-slayer...

So they all opened their mouths to comfort him.

"Success or failure is a matter of family life! We are all trying our best to keep the common people safe and slay demons. We work hard! There is no right or wrong!"

"Yes, Brother Ma, don't take this matter to heart! Just look for opportunities to hunt down and capture this evil spirit in the future."

Facing the comfort, Ma Tianjiao finally found his way to the bottom of the steps.

He fell silent and said no more words.

At this time, all the demon slayers fell silent again, looking at the mountain scenery below the mountain that was about to be covered by the evening sunset.

I've wasted a whole day, and now it's going to be dark soon...

There is still a lot to do.

We must finish what needs to be done before it gets completely dark.

Although the evil spirits and ghosts were not caught, the layers of traps and spirit trip wires from the top of the mountain to the bottom cannot remain on the mountain forever.

Those things will bring hidden dangers to other creatures or ordinary civilians.

So it must be dismantled quickly...

So the twelve people watched the sunset unhappily for a while, and then began to work silently again.

Everyone went down the mountain to dismantle the traps and soul power ropes.

During this process, Ma Tianjiao, who was extremely depressed, was thinking to himself while working.

"What went wrong?..."

If the woodcutter was lying...then why did he know the appearance of the murderous monster so well?

Listening to his description, it was indeed as if he had seen it with his own eyes...

But what if he didn't lie?

Why can't I find the target in the mountains?

"When did the murderous monster escape?..."

With a series of questions, Ma Tianjiao walked to a trap and skillfully removed the trigger device.

Then he walked to a soul power snagging rope and cut off the soul power stumbling rope cleanly and gathered it together.

He was like this, working moodily and tangled in his heart.

The twelve demon-slayers silently went about their work, and no one mentioned anything about the murderous monsters and ghosts.

but.

Although no one said anything depressing, everyone was extremely depressed.

In this way, a good mission to round up evil spirits ended up unhappy.

Ma Tianjiao will probably be irritated and unable to sleep in the next few nights because of what happened today.

About an hour passed.

It became completely dark.

The twelve demon-slayers had already finished everything here and returned to Yunzhou City.

They have many other tasks to do.

However.

After they left this place, a figure suddenly appeared on a rock in the forest.

He wore a bamboo hat and looked like a knight-errant.

It was Niu Yuanping who had left during the day!

At this moment, he stood silently on the top of this huge rock, looking towards the mountains and forests shrouded in night.

All I could see was the howling mountain wind and the undulating pine waves below.

The forest finally became silent.

The demon-slayers left completely, but Niu Yuanping came back.

He smiled softly under the bamboo hat.

Then he turned around and disappeared into the depths of the cave.

good.

I played tricks on the demon slayers twice in a row, which finally wore away their patience a lot.

Niu Yuanping didn't believe what other tricks the monster could use, so he once again persuaded the demon slayer to come and search the mountain!

The saying "Wolf is coming" has been shouted so often that no one will believe it easily.

As the saying goes, again and again and again and again and again and never again!

The demon slayer, who had lost a lot of his patience by that evil spirit, probably won't believe anyone's words for the time being.

They no longer believe that the target they need to search for is still hidden in this mountain forest.

Taking advantage of this, you can once again stay at ease in this mountain cave for a few days.

Niu Yuanping got a lot of valuable information through today's incident!

He can be completely sure that there is indeed something targeting and monitoring him.

That evil spirit will reveal the hiding place of Niu Yuanping to the demon slayer through some transformation method! Deliberately attracting arrest!

Once you realize this, it will be much easier to handle.

Although I still can't be sure where that guy is, I can't be sure where the evil spirit is watching me at this moment.

But now that we have found its rules and mastered its methods.

Then be passive again!

Niu Yuanping has already made plans and will continue to change his hiding place in the next few days.

But no matter how he changes, he will eventually return to this mountain forest. In this way, he can stay in this mountain forest cave that was once hunted by the demon slayer for a while longer.

…

Sensing Niu Yuanping returned to the cave.

The old child hidden under the rocks and soil gradually collapsed.

Its teeth were almost broken by its own bite.

"This guy is really cunning!!!"

In the dirt space, the old boy gnashed his teeth and almost vomited blood with hatred.

The plan was completely disrupted.

Even though there is Shuxie who is targeting and monitoring Niu Yuanping's whereabouts, his thoughts are really hard to figure out.

Such repeated and unpredictable changes actually made Jiu Tong feel that he had become passive.
To be continued...
