These Familiars Are Strange

The two of them followed me with the same confused look on their faces, but those looks soon disappeared.

Others might find it hard to find things in this Abyss, but it wasn't hard for us at all because of the skeletal rats I controlled.

It really was a good thing that An Xue Yun had helped me choose dungeons that would give items that made up for my shortcomings, or else I definitely would have struggled in this place.

With the skeletal rats, it didn't take long for us to find another group of Abyss Demons.

These Abyss Demons were different from the ones that we encountered previously, both in appearance and what they were doing.

These Abyss Demons didn't seem to have the same scales as the Abyss Demons from before, but it didn't take long for me to realize that they did have scales as well. It was just that these Abyss Demons had a layer of fur that was covering them that covered up their scales.

It really raised the question of why these Abyss Demons were different from each other.

They had some features that were the same, but there were features that were different from each other.

Such as how these Abyss Demons with fur didn't seem to have any wings or tails either.

Were they just from different tribes, but they were all generally called Abyss Demons?

"Boss, what do we do now?"

Wang Rong's words pulled me out of these thoughts and I focused once more on how to deal with these Abyss Demons.

Though I already knew what I wanted to do with them.

"It's very simple. We'll do the same thing that we've always done in dungeons." I said with a confident smile on my face.

But the moment that the two of them heard this, they couldn't help revealing strange looks.

After all, they naturally knew what I was referring to and they knew what would happen if someone were to see this.

It would be very bad if there were people that saw this.

That was why they started looking around as if they were afraid that we would be caught at any moment.

I couldn't help shaking my head with a bitter smile when I saw this before saying, "Do you think that I wouldn't have considered that already? Before even coming here, I already searched the entire area for humans and there aren't any at all. You don't have to worry about this."

The two of them still seemed worried after I said this, so I added, "I'm also making sure to keep a perimeter up just in case. If anyone approaches, we'll stop doing what we're doing right away."

It was only then that the two of them relaxed a bit, but it was clear that they were still apprehensive about this.

I just ignored the two of them as I looked at the Echo Bat that was on my shoulder.

As if it could guess what I was thinking, the Echo Bat opened its mouth.

It didn't take long for the Abyss Demons that were in front of us to suddenly fall into a daze. All of their eyes suddenly glazed over and it seemed like they had lost their sparkle with how they stopped moving.

Before this, the Abyss Demons had been preparing to set up camp, but now they stood there like puppets.

"Have them come over."

The Echo Bat gave a nod in response to that order before having the Abyss Demons come over to where we were.

Though they had strong bodies, it didn't seem like the Abyss Demons actually had strong minds that they were easily controlled by my Echo Bat.

When they came over, I said, "Make them answer my questions."

The Echo Bat opened its mouth again before giving a nod to show that they were ready.

"Why have you come here?"

All of them suddenly spoke and it was hard to listen to them when they all tried to speak over each other like this. Hearing this, I realized my mistake and quickly said, "Stop."

Once they stopped, I pointed at one of them and said to the Echo Bat, "Just this one."

It opened its mouth before nodding once more.

After that, I once again questioned the one that I had pointed at, "Why have you come here?"

"Scouting for humans. We need some human blood for a ceremony, so we were sent here to kidnap humans." The Abyss Demon said as if it was in a daze.

But the answer was shocking enough that all three of us immediately knitted our brows.

It definitely wasn't something that we had been expecting to hear…

However, that didn't exactly mean that this piece of news was bad.

In fact, it also meant that there was a camp that was nearby where they would be holding the humans that they captured and where they would be holding the ceremony.

One that could hold this kind of ceremony for the Abyss Demons definitely had to be one of the higher ranked Abyss Demons. In that case, it meant that they would be the target that I was looking for.

"Where is your camp?"

The Abyss Demon turned around in a daze before pointing in a direction and saying, "It's in that direction."

Then it started moving as if it wanted to lead the way to the camp, but I said, "Stop."

The moment that my voice fell, the Abyss Demon immediately stopped moving.

With all this information, I turned to look at Iris and Wang Rong and I saw that both of them had serious looks on their faces. Both of them knew what this information meant, so they were thinking about what to do next.

But in the end, they both seemed to come to the decision that it was best if we checked that camp out.

Only before that, there were a few more things that I had to ask the Abyss Demons.

The more information that we had, the safer this would be after all.

Though it was impossible for this place to be completely safe since this was the Abyss.
