The transparent Life Power seeds spread out in all directions as Bloody carefully searched the area around it.
10 kilometers, 20 kilometers … 50 kilometers, 100 kilometers …
Time passed, but there was no news from Bloody that it had found the Devil's Psykid.
"Could it be that the news is fake?" Lin Huang frowned, but he soon shook his head to dismiss the possibility. He had made three deals with the woman from the black market that day, and there were also deals with monster carcasses later on. The woman would not lie to him.
However, as he thought about it, the news that the woman had provided him with the coordinates was provided by someone more than two months ago. It was possible that the Devil's Psykid had encountered other powerful monsters in the past two months and was forced to leave. Perhaps, it had been killed by other monsters or humans.
If it was the former, he would have to spend some time to find it again. If it was the latter possibility, then his trip to the Abyss Brink would be in vain.
"Please don't get killed …" Lin Huang thought to himself. He did not want to return empty-handed. After all, it was not easy to find a suitable Life Fire monster. If he failed this time, he would have to go back and search again. If there was no suitable monster, he would have to wait for more news from the black market. It was possible that he would have to wait for a few months.
"I've found it!" Almost an hour later, Bloody's voice was heard.
"Is it far from here?" Lin Huang immediately asked.
"It's not that far. It's about 1,500 kilometers away," Bloody replied, "But … it might not be easy for us to kill him."
"Has its combat strength been upgraded?" Lin Huang immediately asked. The Devil's Psykid's information indicated that it was on immortal-level rank-6. If its combat strength had been upgraded to immortal-level rank-7, it would be beyond Lin Huang's capabilities. He would then have to use his Transformation Card to upgrade his combat strength.
"It's not about his combat strength. It was captured by a Rakshasa Mother," Bloody said helplessly.
"Rakshasa Mother?!" It was not the first time that Lin Huang had heard of such a monster.
The Rakshasa Mother was a fiend. It was a humanoid monster that was born on immortal-level. It would level up to imperial-level when it grew up. This monster liked children, especially boys. It was said that whenever she met a boy under the age of sixteen, she would capture the child and bring him back to her lair to raise him. Her natural maternal instincts made her treat these children as her own. But if the child continued to grow up, she would kill him when he reached adulthood. Therefore, some of the monsters in the form of children would seek refuge with her after they were captured by her, and they would be protected by her for the rest of their lives.
Of course, Lin Huang had only heard of this legendary monster. There were only a few simple introductions in the monster encyclopedia, and there were no clear records of it. He never thought that he would actually encounter it.
"Will she really catch other child-type monsters to raise?" Lin Huang asked curiously.
"It should be true," Bloody said and projected the image that it had captured through its Leech Pods.
It was a dimly lit building. Not only did Lin Huang see the Devil's Psykid that he wanted to kill, there were also two other Devil's Psykid monsters and a baby monster.
However, the Rakshasa Mother was not in the palace.
"It seems like it's going to be troublesome …" Lin Huang did not expect such a thing to happen.
The Devil's Psykid had been adopted by the Rakshasa Mother, which increased the difficulty of killing the Devil's Psykid.
"Bloody, do you have any good ideas?" Lin Huang was having a headache.
"There are three ways to kill the Devil's Psykid," Bloody suggested. "Firstly, kill the Rakshasa Mother. Secondly, sneak into the building and kill the Devil's Psykid when the Rakshasa Mother isn't around. Thirdly, lure the Devil's Psykid out and kill it alone. "
"The first way can avoid any future trouble, but it's too costly. The second way is to ensure that the Rakshasa Mother doesn't notice us when we sneak into the building. That's another challenge. She must've set up a surveillance system in the building. The third way is the safest, but we'll have to think of another way to lure the Devil's Psykid out. "
Lin Huang shook his head. "If the Rakshasa Mother is only an imperial-level black gold-rank or crimson gold-rank, I might be able to defeat it if I use all my trump cards. However, if it's a gold-rank or platinum-rank, I'll be digging my own grave if I go there. Moreover, it's not worth it to waste my life-saving skills just for tinder. As for the second option, the risk of sneaking in was too high. We knew nothing about the Rakshasa Mother's abilities. If she had the ability to teleport, as long as I triggered her surveillance, she would be able to kill me in the next second. Let's go with the third way and lure the Devil's Psykid out. "
"If we choose the third way, we might have to stay in the Abyss Brink for a few more days," Bloody replied. "I'll need to observe their movements for a few days before coming up with a plan."
"Sure, we'll stay for a few more days." Lin Huang nodded in agreement. "Let's look for a place to stay."
"There's a Human Face Spider's cave 120 kilometers away. Its combat strength is only on immortal-level rank-3." Bloody extended its feeler and pointed at the two o 'clock direction.
A few minutes later, Lin Huang appeared at the entrance of the cave that Bloody had pointed at.
Before Lin Huang could say anything, the Eclipse Boa transformed into a bloody glow and dashed into the cave. After a while, it returned.
Lin Huang cleaned up the cave and set up a tent. Since they were going to stay there for a few days, they had to make do with the environment.
After cleaning up the cave and setting up the portable tent, it was almost six in the evening. The sky was getting dark.
Lin Huang summoned Bai and Lancelot and started eating their snacks at the entrance of the cave.
Lancelot loved the dried vegetables while Bai was drinking its bright red fruit juice. It did not care about any solid food. Bloody was happily eating its candies while the Eclipse Boa was munching on its dried meat.
For the next few days, Lin Huang and his summoning monsters spent their days peacefully.
Even though he was in the dangerous second layer of the Abyss Brink, he was still enjoying his life.
There were no powerful monsters in the area where he stayed. The most powerful monsters were only on immortal-level rank-5 or rank-6. As soon as he occupied the Human Face Spider's cave, Bai and Lancelot killed an immortal-level rank-6 invader that night. After that, both of them established their authority and became one of the overlords of the area. Many of the surrounding monsters avoided the cave that Lin Huang was staying in.
If it were not for the Rakshasa Mother that was 1,000 kilometers away, he would have a barbecue party every night. He had been eating dried food for the past few days, and now, he felt like he was going to lose his appetite.
What Lin Huang did not know was that Yao Huanhuan in Sweep City had been causing trouble for her father for the past few days.
"Dad, it's been a few days. Is there still no news about Lin Xie?" Yao Huanhuan had been asking to go to the Abyss Brink since she found out that her sister was looking for Lin Huang in the Abyss Brink.
Of course, her parents did not want their daughter to take the risk, so they agreed to help her to find out about Lin Huang.
"He hasn't come out for so many days. Could he have been killed by my sister?"
"Huanhuan, your sister isn't someone who doesn't know her limits," her father said helplessly.
"Then, could he have been eaten by a monster?" Yao Huanhuan asked again.
"It's hard to say. After all, the Abyss Brink is …" Before her father could finish his sentence, his mother glared at him and he immediately changed his words. "He might still be alive."
"Even if one day isn't enough to kill a Life Fire monster, two days should be enough. Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Her father wanted to say that he had most likely died in there. However, he did not dare to say it out loud when he saw that his wife was next to him.
"Maybe he was delayed by something. Your sister hasn't come out either. Let's ask her when she comes out. Maybe she has seen Lin Xie before, "her mother comforted her again.
After finally getting rid of Yao Huanhuan, her parents frowned. They were not worried about Lin Huang, but Yao Lan.
Yao Lan had been in the Abyss Brink for three days, but she had yet to come out. If it was just a hunting mission, she could complete it in one to two days. However, it was already the third day.
