Chapter 141 Midnight Patrol
The old bat's voice was low and tempting, stirring the tiger demon's heart.
Instantly, a fierce light flashed in the tiger demon's eyes, but then he hesitated. He knew very well how powerful Tushan Honghong was, and if the action failed, the consequences would be disastrous.
"But how can we guarantee the success rate of uniting with other demon tribes? What if there are spies of Tushan among them, or if they are intimidated by Tushan's reputation and are unwilling to join forces with us?"
After hesitating for a long time, the tiger demon expressed his concerns.
The old bat smiled slightly, as if everything was under control. "Don't worry, Brother Tiger, I have my own way. I have made some connections in the demon world over the years, and I will personally lobby those forces that are dissatisfied with Tushan. At the same time, we can use the news that Tushan Honghong has come out of seclusion to spread some rumors that are unfavorable to Tushan, and arouse panic and dissatisfaction in the demon world, so that our actions will be more easily responded to."
The tiger demon pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. "Okay, let's do as you planned. But you have to remember that we don't have much time, so we must act quickly."
The old bat bowed, his eyes gleaming with cunning. "Don't worry, Brother Tiger. Leave this matter to me."
Just like that, the tiger demon who was originally going to bring an army to punish the old bat actually formed a common front with him again, and a conspiracy against Tushan was quietly unfolding.
"My king, why did you come to see this stupid cat? His presence will only cause uncontrollable accidents to our plans."
The old bat had just walked out of the tiger demon's cave and not far away when he heard the questioning voice of the little demon behind him. He stopped and slowly turned around, his eyes were like torches, and he exuded an unquestionable majesty.
"I'm sorry, my king. I'm not questioning you, but I want to learn from your wisdom. Why are you willing to take the risk of contacting such a foolish character at such a critical moment?"
Feeling the aura of its leader, the little bat's voice was filled with awe and confusion.
The old bat smiled slightly, with a deep look in his eyes: "You don't understand. Those who are truly wise never intervene in the game themselves, but use the hands of others to lay a net of heaven and earth."
"The tiger demon behaves erratically, only cares about small gains and has no foresight, so he is the perfect chess piece."
"To tell you the truth, although Tushan Honghong is still alive, she has lost all her magical powers. If she really dares to show up in public, the next plan will directly cost him his life."
The little bat beside him listened to the old bat's story with shock on his face: "Tushan Honghong has lost her magical power... How did you know this secret?"
"Do you really think that Tushan is a solid block?"
"Tushan Honghong wants to promote the coexistence of humans and monsters. This not only offends monsters like us, but also the Tushan executives who should have stood on her side..."
As the old bat spoke, a black demonic power gradually emerged from his body, like a ghost in the night, making people shudder.
……
While the two demon tribes were plotting their next move, Tushan's actions had already quietly begun.
At the edge of the tiger demon tribe's territory, more than a dozen Tushan guards came here to patrol without any cover. The guard in the center nudged the guard next to him with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "I say, we are not sleeping in the middle of the night. Is it really useful to come here to scare people?" "Of course it is useful, and it is a key part of the plan." The guard next to him lowered his voice, but his eyes flashed with cunning light, "We are patrolling at night and demonstrating. It won't take long for these tiger and leopard demons to discover us. If the murderer is really them, they will definitely take action. What we have to do is to maintain this pressure and let them reveal their flaws, or even expose their accomplices."
It turned out that these two guards were Tushan Yaya and Ximen Tianyu who had borrowed Tushan Rongrong's disguise skills and disguised themselves as part of the patrol team.
"Aren't you afraid that they will be desperate and attack us directly?"
Seeing Ximen Tianyu's confident look, Tushan Yaya continued to ask.
"If that's the case, then it's easy. Sister Yaya can just kill them. And what we're looking for is the black hand hiding in the dark, so we set up this trap to catch them all in one fell swoop."
After a conversation, the two led the patrol team to continue patrolling along the scheduled route. The night around them seemed to be getting darker, but their steps were unusually firm. At this moment, a subtle movement came from deep in the woods, which aroused their vigilance.
"Something's going on!" Ximen Tianyu responded quickly, signaling Tushan Yaya to stay alert. They slowly approached the source of the sound, and saw a figure moving quickly through the woods, looking very suspicious.
"It's the tiger and leopard spirit!"
Tushan Yaya saw the true face of the figure at a glance, and a cold look flashed in her eyes. She immediately signaled the guards to disperse and surround, and she led Ximen Tianyu to quickly approach the target.
"Don't move, or I'll kill you without mercy!"
Tushan Yaya's voice sounded particularly clear and majestic in the silent night. Her demonic power had quietly gathered, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
The tiger-leopard demon obviously did not expect to encounter Tushan's patrol here, and his body froze for a moment, but then he quickly reacted and turned around to escape. However, the encirclement had quietly formed around him, and he could no longer escape.
"Huh, you still want to run?"
Ximen Tianyu flashed and blocked the tiger and leopard demon's way. In his hand, a long knife with a cold glow appeared, pointing directly at the opponent's throat.
Faced with the threat of death, the tiger-leopard demon turned pale and subconsciously took two steps back: "Gentlemen of Tushan, this should not be within your patrol range, why..."
"Why are we here, right?" Ximen Tianyu interrupted him coldly, "Because someone reported that your tiger demon tribe has been acting strangely recently. And it is related to a major case that happened in Tushan recently."
Hearing this, the tiger-leopard demon's face became even uglier. After that, he tried to use words to delay time and find a chance to escape: "I... I'm just a small soldier, I don't know anything! Please spare my life, gentlemen of Tushan!"
"You look like an ordinary person, so it's impossible for you to know these things. As for me, I can consider letting you go. But my brothers have been patrolling here in the middle of the night, and we are tired and hungry..."
Ximen Tianyu deliberately prolonged his tone and glanced at the Tushan guards patrolling around. The guards immediately understood and looked lazy.
