Deities: Starting From Goblins Chapter 1325

Chapter 1325: Chapter 726 Enhancement_2 Chapter 1325: Chapter 726 Enhancement_2 “Since that's the case, you should leave as soon as possible,” he slowly began, the tone still cold but somewhat softened, “It's a critical time, both inside and outside the city are on edge. I hope you won't bring unnecessary trouble to yourselves or your people.” His gaze swept over Elder Talon Skyler and his companions again, seemingly warning and reminding them.

Elder Talon Skyler and his companions heard this and quietly breathed a sigh of relief internally. They knew, although the immediate crisis was temporarily avoided, the path ahead was still filled with unknown dangers. They quickly packed up their belongings, nodded in gratitude to the Demon Soldiers, and then hurriedly left the post. Throughout their departure, they remained vigilant, fearing another unexpected situation might arise.

As night deepened, the stars in the sky twinkled with faint light, as if guiding their way. Elder Talon Skyler and his company moved swiftly along the path, their figures elongated by the moonlight, appearing both lonely and resolute. They knew that only by sticking together could they survive in these turbulent times and find their own piece of the sky.

“This time was really close,” Ethan Cloud softly spoke, his voice carrying a mix of relief and emotion, “Thanks to Elder Talon Skyler's composure and our coordinated cooperation, we successfully deceived those Demon Soldiers.”

“Yes,” another companion agreed, “But we mustn't let our guard down. There's still a long road ahead, and many more challenges await us.”

Elder Talon Skyler heard this and nodded slightly. He knew this was just the beginning, the road ahead was long and tough. But he believed that as long as they stood united and moved forward bravely, nothing could stop their progress. They would continue on until they found the place they belong.

Elder Talon Skyler and his companions again breathed a sigh of relief internally, as if a huge stone had been lifted from their chest, allowing them to breathe freely again. They quickly nodded and bowed in agreement with the leading Demon Soldier's words, their faces filled with respectful and submissive smiles. They pretended to tidy up the items on the table, moving quickly and orderly, preparing to leave this perilous post. Each of them silently prayed in their hearts, hoping that the road ahead would be safe.

However, fate seemed to always jest at the most inappropriate times. Just as they were about to step out of the post and into the night, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded, like a bolt from the blue, tensing their hearts again.

“Wait!” a Demon Soldier suddenly stopped them. His voice was not loud, but filled with undeniable authority. His eyes flashed with suspicion, as if he had discovered something amiss, “What are you carrying? Could it be… prohibited items?”

Elder Talon Skyler and his companions' hearts leapt to their throats, exchanging nervous glances, inwardly cursing their luck. They knew the sudden challenge from the Demon Soldier meant that all their prior efforts could have been in vain. The real test had just begun…

Elder Talon Skyler quickly adjusted his attitude, took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound calm and natural, “My friend, you are mistaken. What we carry is only basic dry food and spare clothes, nothing prohibited. Look, these are all essentials for our journey, absolutely no issues.”

Saying this, Elder Talon Skyler deliberately opened his bag wide, allowing the Demon Soldier to clearly see the items inside. His companions followed suit, opening their own bags for inspection. They knew that any sign of panic at this moment could arouse suspicion from the soldiers, so they had to remain calm and let the facts speak for themselves.

The Demon Soldier squinted, inspecting the displayed items carefully. His face still held a trace of doubt, but he seemed to find nothing unusual. After a moment, he slowly nodded, “Alright, if that's the case, then you can go. But be more careful in the future, do not carry any suspicious items to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Elder Talon Skyler and his companions silently rejoiced when they heard this. They knew that their calm and wit had allowed them to turn danger into safety. They quickly packed their belongings, nodded in thanks to the Demon Soldiers once more, then hurriedly left the station, disappearing into the night. They were aware that the road ahead was still fraught with unknowns and dangers, but they believed that as long as they stayed united and pressed forward, nothing could stop them.

In a desolate and quiet Wilderness, a solitary station stood abruptly like an oasis in the desert. The night sky hung low, the moonlight was sparse, and only a few dim lanterns flickered in the wind, adding a touch of warmth to the deserted station but unable to dispel the surrounding chill and unease.

“Delayed your journey? Then why didn't you stay in the city, instead of running to this remote station?” the voice of a Demon Soldier pierced the night's silence. His armor reflected a chilling light under the weak lantern light, his eyes filled with suspicion and wariness, his hands tightly grasping his spear as if ready for any sudden situations.

Elder Talon Skyler and his companions exchanged looks, silently calculating how to handle this unexpected interrogation. Their group, dressed in the clothing of ordinary travelers and faces smeared with disguises to avoid recognition, attempted to move silently under the strict surveillance of the Demon Race.

“We… we were afraid of missing the City Lord's summons,” a companion's voice trembled slightly as she tried to appear more composed, but the nervousness inside her was hard to completely hide, “We heard that the City Lord has important matters to announce recently, and we were afraid of delaying ourselves, so we wanted to rest briefly at the station before hurrying on our way.”

Her words carried a hint of urgency, as if there truly was some pressing matter awaiting them. Beside her, Elder Talon Skyler gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, while signaling with his eyes to stay calm.

The Demon Soldiers, upon hearing this, looked at each other, their eyes still flickering with distrust. One of the soldiers stepped forward, gently prodding the bags behind them with his spear, as if searching for something suspicious.

“Hmph, the City Lord's summons? I've heard that excuse too many times,” the soldier snorted disdainfully, “But since you say so, I won't probe deeper. However, you'd better remember, this is the territory of the Demon Race, not a place where you can come and go as you please. If I see you acting suspiciously again, don't blame us for being rude!”

With that, he waved his hand, signaling for his companions to leave. Although the Demon Soldiers still harbored doubts, they were unwilling to stir trouble without solid evidence. They turned and left, their footsteps heavy as they disappeared into the night.

Seeing this, Elder Talon Skyler and his companions silently heaved a sigh of relief. They knew this was only temporary safety; the real test was yet to come. Inside the station, the dim lantern light shone on their tired and tense faces as each person silently pondered their next plans.

“Elder, should we really continue forward?” a young companion could not help but ask, his voice revealing a hint of unease, “We are getting closer and closer to the core area of the Demon Race. What if we're discovered…”

Elder Talon Skyler took a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly on the distant horizon. “We must continue.”
