Chapter Seventy: Pursuit in Progress (Part 1)

  The windmill... has started moving again. Le, who was being pulled by Chen Yi, turned her head and looked back, through the faint light at the edge of the sky, she vaguely saw the huge windmill that had started rotating again.

  Lei's mouth corners slightly raised, no longer looking back, followed Chen Yi forward, feeling the temperature in her hand, Lei looked at Chen Yi.

  After receiving that treatment, it's clear that he had the ability to retaliate or leave, but instead of doing so, he even helped the village resolve their worries when he left. Chen Yi, you're really a good person... *sigh*, Chen Yi said he was a demon, well, I guess that makes him a good demon then...

  Chen Yi's body shook as he pulled Le on the road, a kind of sorrowful feeling that rose from the bottom of his heart almost made Chen Yi cry out, why would he have this feeling!?! Was he cursed?

  Tatara has received his first card in life... with an age of over 1,000 years, including the 1,000 years spent in Gensokyo since he was born.

  Got the first Good Samaritan Card...

  Congratulations! Throw flowers! Congratulations! Throw flowers! This is a good start...

  In another place.

  "Ah! Senior sister, what's going on?" Long Wei covered his forehead where a big package had been smashed out.

  "Hurry up and wake Chiya! The location of the Seven Glittering Treasure Tree is moving again, if they escape from the detection area... Oh no! My bonus, my chance of promotion..." Hixica said with a devastated expression, "Hurry up and wake Chiya!"

  "Uh... senior sister, this seems unlikely." Long Wei's face was awkward as he continuously shook Qiyue, who was sleeping soundly.

  "Hmph! Useless, can't even wake you up, I'll just carry you then, hurry!" Hissuka saw Ryuuji carrying Chiya on his back and shouted "Now! Let's chase!!"

  Haha! Bonus! Promotion! I'm coming!!

  Xī sī kǎ de xīn shēng...

  Translation:

  The Heart of Xishi...

  In Chen Yi's place, he also encountered an obstacle when he came to this world. Chen Yi and Le looked at the mountain peak in front of them that blocked their way.

  It's easy to encounter this situation when moving forward in a straight line, right? Normal! Normal!

  "Chen Yi, shall we take a detour?" suggested Le.

  "What! It's just a broken mountain, how can it block our way?" Chen Yi thought of his boastful words back then and looked at the mountain peak in front of him, should he just demolish it?

  Chen Yi thought for a moment and shook his head. Although it wouldn't take long, the noise would definitely be a bit loud. It's better to just make a hole directly.

  "Lei, pull me along, let's go directly over."

  "Go directly?" Lai tilted her head, showing confusion.

  "Look closely!" Chen Yi's hand ignited a purple-black flame, although Carro's ghostly shadow did not appear, causing the Nether Flame's power to be somewhat discounted. However, for ordinary rocks, this Nether Flame could directly vaporize even metal, let alone mere stones!

  "Chen Yi, isn't it hot?" Le looked at the dark flame in Chen Yi's hand and his unaffected hand, then reached out to touch the dark flame.

  "Ah, it's very dangerous to say that." Chen Yi quickly dispersed the dark flames in his hand, "This is my own flame, of course I won't feel the heat, and the dark flames themselves don't have a temperature, only when they come into contact with things..."

  Chen Yi's hand reignited the dark flames, and with a press against the mountain peak, silently and without warning, a two-meter square hole appeared on the wall of the mountain. "Heh! We'll just pass through like this, dismantling mountains as we go! Perfectly fine!"

  Chen Yi pulled up Le's hand, "It's still okay for now, it'll be dark in a while." Chen Yi added.

  Chen Yi felt the smooth and tender small hand being pulled by him tighten, and a big "Y" appeared in his heart.

  The entire mountain peak was like a piece of paper in front of Chen Yi, and as Chen Yi and Le continued to move forward, the light in the cave became darker and darker. After the last bit of light disappeared, Chen Yi was fine, his blood-red eyes shining with a faint red glow again. However, Le, who didn't have night vision, wasn't so lucky. In absolute darkness, it's easy for people to feel fearful.

  Step by step

  In the dark and quiet cave, a faint sound of footsteps echoed. Suddenly, Chen Yi, who was walking in front, felt a soft and warm body embracing him from behind, causing him to stop in his tracks.

  Alas? This is, Chen Yi suddenly thought that Leico didn't have the ability to see in the dark, you know, in such a dark and quiet environment...

  "Lei." Chen Yi softly called out.

  "Hmm~" Laiying responded with a murmur from behind, hugging Chenyi tightly.

  "Sorry, I forgot you don't have night vision," Chen Yi said, not turning his head. He knew that even if he did turn around now, Le would only see two red dots.

  "Come! I'll carry you, here, this is for you." Chen Yi picked up Le and handed her a dazzling crystal, the pitch-black cave was suddenly illuminated.

  Lai looked at the stone radiating light in her hand, then glanced at Chen Yi behind him, revealing a relieved smile. Unfortunately, Chen Yi didn't notice it. Lai's smile was not only rare but also... ( forgot the word )

  The stone wall continued to melt away in Chen Yi's hand, and as he walked, the stone wall in front of him melted away again, revealing long-lost sunlight shining on Chen Yi's body.

  Ah! It's done! Chen Yi looked at the cave he had excavated, which now spanned across an entire mountain, and suddenly felt a surge of pride. He thought to himself that even the legendary Tunneling Team of the Divine Beast Realm was no match for him, and that all those with combat power below 5 were just trash...

  After a moment of emotion and pride, it's time to continue on the road again. Chen Yi looked at Le and saw that she didn't intend to come down and walk by herself, which suited Chen Yi just fine. After all, having a beautiful girl on his back as he traveled was quite enjoyable.

  Chen Yi rushes on his way... Xisi Ka is tracking him...

  "This damn thing won't turn, will it?! Why is he advancing in a straight line!!" Xixia stared at the light spot on the Holy War Angel's radar that was moving forward in a straight line, making her feel a sense of helplessness. Although it seemed simple to catch up with the opponent like this, but...

  "That bastard didn't pass by here!!" Xixi pointed to a large canyon in front of her, transforming into Chenyue's furious form.

  "Hey! Hey! Senior, calm down, it seems like the other party directly jumped over...!" Long Wei pointed to a footprint that appeared on the edge of the canyon.

  "What! How is this possible!!" Xixia grabbed Longwei's collar and shook him wildly.

  "Hmm... Senior sister, it seems that it's really possible." Long Wei wiped the sweat from his face and raised a finger, "Senior sister, think about the big pit we encountered not long ago (the one Chen Yi smashed out), it should be the one smashed out by the opponent. And also the village we passed through, according to the villagers there, the opponent doesn't seem to be a bad person..."

  Xī sī kǎ's face suddenly turned pitch black, "What? Do you have an opinion? Or are you planning to challenge the authority of the senior sister? This kind of reckless guy should be eliminated early on! A dangerous guy with strong power from the Seven Treasures Tree... Dragon Might! Give you ten minutes to find a way through this canyon!"

  "Ah!? Sister, this is simply impossible! This is too much to ask!" Long Wei's face was filled with difficulty.

  "Cut the crap and think quickly!"

  —————————————————————————————

  At night, Chen Yi and Le sat beside a bonfire, Chen Yi holding a piece of roasted meat (that genetically mutated bear's), "Le, want some?"

  Lei looked at the piece of meat in Chen Yi's hand and shook her head, "Don't like it."

  Alas? Don't you like eating it? After biting into a piece of meat in his hand, Chen Yi supported his chin with one hand and thought for a moment, then had an idea!

  Tianyi took out a golden holy communion and placed it beside Le, "Le, when you eat this fruit, think of your favorite food, something wonderful will happen."

  After hearing Chen Yi's explanation, she hesitated for a moment, picked up a golden fruit, took a light bite, and then Le's eyes lit up immediately. After eating three more fruits in succession...

  "Chen Yi, I'm full..."

  This girl is easy to support, if it were Yu Yu who came, thirty... uh, three hundred would be enough?

  "Le, eat your fill and rest for a while, I'll keep watch." Chen Yi glanced around calmly, this was in the wilderness, not even a bug's chirp could be heard, who were they trying to fool? As soon as he activated his fluctuation perception, Chen Yi detected no less than ten figures.

  Lei rubbed her eyes and nodded, then lay down beside Chen Yi to rest.

  Chen Yi looked at the crackling fire and saw Le sleeping soundly. He took out some materials and quickly formed a small doll, which slowly took shape. With the final step completed, a Q-version of Chen Yi appeared in his hand.

  Tianyi Puppet (Low-grade): A puppet with 30% of Tianyi's own combat power and general combat awareness. It can be infused multiple times with the soul of an adventurer to provide power, extending the puppet's battle time. Up to four infusions are possible. After receiving external blood again, the puppet will be activated and fight for its master for 15 minutes.

  Tian Yi activated the puppet, and Tian Yi gave an order to the puppet in front of him, which was exactly the same as himself but completely belonged to a killing machine. "Clean up the small bugs around, don't make too much noise, and one... don't leave!"

  A flash of red light appeared in Chen Yi's emotionless eyes, and then disappeared before him. In the black night outside the flames, two blood-red lines representing slaughter were drawn out.

  In less than five minutes, the station was stained with blood, and the Chényì person who still had a lingering killing intent returned here again.

  After a while, Chen Yi picked up the doll on the ground that already had cracks, "Very good, you have made contributions, so you will be preserved."

  Tianyi took out some materials again, repaired the broken doll that had already represented the end, and placed it beside Le, hmm! It can also be considered as recycling and reuse, let's make it a gift.

  Lai should like it, after all, it's a Q version thing
