In order to prevent Dandan and Yingying from revealing their flaws, Li Yue pretended that nothing happened, but fixed his mind firmly on the strange tree.
[Analysis...6%...]
It is a monster that has not been included in the Devil's Manual, and its strength is similar to Galarik - Li Yue made a judgment.
[Analysis interrupted, save record]
As the three demons moved, the monster on the tree suddenly disappeared. Li Yue didn't even understand how it moved, and only guessed that it was related to the "tree" itself.
Soon, Li Yue noticed the same aura on a tall pine in front of him, and "it" appeared again - the same tree trunk twisted and poked its head out under the shadow of the leaves.
Are you spying? Know the shadow demon well?

Li Yue suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to move steadily, but expanded the range of perception to every nearby tree, keeping an eye on the monitor at all times.
"The jackals...are being tortured." After determining the general direction of the target, Yingying withdrew part of his shadow, transformed and explored the depths of the cave, thus obtaining more information.
"Who are you torturing?" Li Yue intentionally or unintentionally blocked the line of sight from the tree, and inadvertently communicated with Yingying.
"Human." Yingying's handwriting kept deforming and remained on the eggshell. "Judging from the shadow... he should be a noble. Unfortunately, I don't know what they are talking about..."
"In addition to the humans being tortured, there are also a dozen humans tied up and dressed in gorgeous clothes. They should all be nobles." Yingying continued to report on the situation in the cave.
"The technique is still so rough..." Yingying commented.
"What method?" Li Yue didn't realize what Yingying was talking about for a while.
"The method of torture is to eat their organs bit by bit in front of humans, starting from the lower body..." Yingying seemed to think this was quite low-end, "I thought the second player in the Forbidden Forest could come up with some new tricks.
Just like the pure-blooded demons in the maw of the abyss, they only know how to eat."
"Friend, you are not very polite." Dandan felt that he was being insinuated, "Some demons eat to torture, and some demons eat to grow... and I am still growing."
Dandan also noticed the soft sound on the bark of the tree, and instead communicated by writing the devil's common language through particles.
"Oh." Yingying has no desire for words and cannot empathize with Dandan.
"They were questioning that human...where he hid the treasures and magic materials." Dandan was located by Yingying, and then received the content of the conversation through his own "radar".
"I'm also praising that human... for developing a good skin." Dandan used a standard dialogue format and laid out the answers to the questions on the eggshell.
"Your thighs don't taste very good, but the skin is really chewy...have they been soaked in some kind of magic potion?" the jackal said.
"Oh God, oh damn... I am a guest at the transformation ceremony... You must let me go now... Oh, don't eat anymore..." the person being tortured said.
"Aga Aga...it's delicious...how about I eat the next bite from your mouth? Don't worry, you can still talk if you only eat the first half...We all understand what you are saying...
"said the jackal.
"What?" Li Yue watched the dialogue on the eggshell for a while, becoming more and more confused as he read, "Friend, I know you have good hearing, but please don't repeat everything, just focus on the key points."
"The human being is a fallen noble... This time he came to the Demon King's City to participate in the demon transformation ceremony, but as soon as he was ready, he was captured by the jackal family and taken to the forbidden forest." Dandan summarized helplessly, "The jackal man
Knowing that this human being has a noble status, I am draining him dry, right down to his skin and bones."
"Or... maybe... I'm playing with him." Li Yue also roughly understood how the Jackal family... lived before the Demon King's City was opened.
Steal people and things from the Demon King's City for fun, satisfying your lust for words and killing.
"Walk slowly, tell me about the layout, sentry posts, and number of the camp near the Jackal family, and then draw a map." Li Yue passed the message to Yingying, and became more and more comfortable with it, "It's best to draw the ones you think are special.
Or maybe a powerful jackal will mark it, and I'll plan the route..."
Li Yue even referred to the "Tas Empire Border Defense Line in Kaili 231" and sent Yingying a map template.
At the same time, Li Yue also slowed down and did not delay analyzing the person on the tree.
[Analyzing...29%...]
Soon, Yingying spread out a map - it was a simple cross-section of the cave, which recorded the number of jackals and terrain corners in detail, and marked several jackals that Yingying thought were special.
Li Yue instantly recorded this map into his mind, and based on Yingying's annotations, he roughly planned a course of action.
First of all, the interior of the cave is not stable. There are many skeletons inside that have been dead for a long time, but they are inexplicably in powder form and cannot be transformed into skeletons at all. This is probably due to Finley's last wish; there are 5 "special" jackals.
Only, marked in the shape of a six-pointed star on the map, they are located at the entrance of the cave, the first corner, the side cave where the torture room is located, the junction of the inner cave and the outer cave, and the deepest part of the cave.
"I want the one from outside, and here's another one, so as not to be discovered by the secret sentry." Li Yue's mission this time is very simple - sneak in without anyone noticing, collect information about the jackal family, and try his best not to kill any jackals.
people.
The reason is of course not the fear of conflict with the Jackal family, but that killing too many will affect the odds of the fourth game - the more prosperous the Jackal family looks, the more money they will make.
If you really have to do some tricks in advance, you should do it after you have almost collected them as a family. It is best to make them die suddenly as soon as they stand on the Colosseum.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yingying also showed an overhead view of the outside of the cave; Li Yue counted them and found that there were less than ten outside the cave. Three groups of jackals were on guard, and most of the remaining jackals were entrenched in the cave.
They were resting, some were eating, and some were being tortured.

Having almost memorized the location and number of the Jackal family, Li Yue took a leisurely step and was about to plan a sneaking action when he was suddenly frightened by Dandan's movements.
"Wait a minute, they are going to play a game later!" Dandan jumped up and blocked the writing in front of Li Yue's face, "A hunting game!"
"Explain it..." Li Yue held his balls with a few tentacles, like a play between monsters.
After carefully reading what Dan Dan heard, Li Yue wanted to understand the use of the dozen human nobles tied up in the cave. After the wealth and magic materials accumulated by the nobles were tortured, these injured nobles would be killed by the jackal.
The person sews up the wound using a secret method, and then puts it in the open space in front of the cave to play a hunting game of chasing and escaping.
The pursuers are naturally a family of jackals, and many little jackals are already eager to try; those who escape have no way of survival, they can only become prey that brings pleasure and fresh meat to the jackals, and they will swallow the last nail.
However... if the jackals focus all their attention on the nobles, this will be good news for Li Yue who wants to take the opportunity to analyze them.
Li Yue rethought his sneak route and escape method for a while, and then gave Dandan a clever tip.
"Huh? Friend, what does this mean?" Dandan felt Li Yue's thoughts and asked doubtfully.
"Give you a chance to perform." Even though Li Yue has not included any jackals yet, this does not affect the first step of insurance for this operation.
"No problem..." Dandan silently went through the escape plan several times, and was inexplicably a little happy - maybe, finally... he could be beaten.
Next, Li Yue, Dandan, and Yingying continued to walk leisurely, bathing in the green moonlight, not in a hurry - Li Yue just waited for the spectators on the tree to be analyzed before deciding how to watch it under his eyes.

As if unable to discern the purpose of the three demons, the one in the tree finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and showed up after following them for a quarter of an hour.
"Where are you from and where are you going?"
As soon as the man in the tree fell down, he asked a philosophical question.
