Chapter 924: Encountering Demon Knights
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
During the past 3 days since they entered the first abyss, this team didn't encounter any demon knight at all .
In the first abyss, the team of 12 human knights moved and rested together . The distance between every two members would not exceed 100 m . Even though, they would have the same probability to encounter demon knights as that a single human knight would have in the first abyss .
As the proverb went, when one usually walked along the riverside, how could his shoes not get wet .
On the 4th day since they entered the first abyss, when they reached the conventional battlefield of the first abyss, they finally encountered demon knights .
. . .
Mountain Lifting Hermit was flying ahead of the team, closely followed by the other 11 human knights in the shape of herringbone . Everybody had hidden their battle qi lusters and followed up Mountain Lifting Hermit in the black fog along the precipice of the first abyss .
All of a sudden, Zhang Tie caught sight of some lusters flickering in the black fog over 20 miles ahead of them .
Due to the dense fog in the abyss, he could faintly judge that they were knights' battle qis .
However, Zhang Tie remained silent . Through these days' observation, Zhang Tie had realized that he could have a greater vision than the others due to his dark vision ability .
Until the flickering lusters moved another hundred of meters ahead in a few seconds did Mountain Lifting Hermit stop .
Everyone had caught sight of the faint battle qis in the distant black fog .
Due to the long distance, Mountain Lifting Hermit could not see it clearly . Additionally, the looming battle qis were separating and gathering from time to time . Therefore, it was very difficult to determine how many forces were there .
As the leader of this team, Mountain Lifting Hermit was expected by all the others to work out a plan in such a case .
Generally, battle qis in the first abyss indicated an ongoing battle . Of course, it might also be a fatal trap . The party which thought that they were advantageous in battle strength or had powerhouses on their back might simulate an ongoing battle by releasing battle qis in the first abyss on purpose so as to attract the opponent passers-by and ambush them . Such a trick was usually seen in the first abyss by both demons and humans . The fatal trap was like angling in water . Of course, if the anglers had a bad luck, they might encounter a great white or a billhead, when he might be tragic .
Generally, shadow knights and heavenly knights had disdained playing such a trick . Those who dared play such a trick would always be a team of knights led by one or two earth knights .
Narrowing his eyes, Mountain Lifting Hermit watched the battle qis in the distant fog with flickering eyes . Only after thinking a couple of seconds, he had made the decision, "I need one person to take a look over there with me . The others just hide here! If it's a trap ahead of us, I will send a signal to you . You then retreat to the place where we rested last time . After we broke through their encirclement, we will converge with you over there!"
"I will go there with Mountain Lifting Hermit!" Soon after Mountain Lifting Hermit finished his words, Zhang Tie had jumped out .
Demon knights were definitely "tunics" for Zhang Tie . Although it might be a trap, Zhang Tie still wanted to take a look over there . It would be better for him if it was not a trap . Before determining to interfere with it, Mountain Lifting Hermit actually could determine to have his team detour that place and the rest of the team would not have any different opinion about that . However, they would feel a bit uncomfortable if they just detoured that place . Because, it might be unkind for them to do that . As human knights, if they didn't stand on the side of their same kind when facing demons, they would face a mental test on being righteous or not .
The boldness of execution stems from superb skill . As his battle strength grew increasingly powerful, Zhang Tie became increasingly bolder .
He might have dangers there with Mountain Lifting Hermit . If it was indeed a trap in front of them, they might be trapped . As for the same trap, an earth knight might be able to escape out; however, a black knight might not . If it was not a trap, after a black iron knight and an earth knight joined the battle, given the scale of the faint battle qis, the balance between both parties would be altered at once . As a result, the human knights would have an overwhelming advantage .
If it was a trap, it would be more convenient for them to break through the encirclement; if not, the trace of their team would not be exposed . This consideration indicated that Mountain Lifting Hermit was very shrewd and righteous .
Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan both wanted to say something; however, now that Zhang Tie wanted to go there, they didn't feel it proper to stop him at this moment . It was improper if they persuaded Zhang Tie that it was too dangerous over there and let others go there .
After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit nodded . Closely after that, he flew towards the flickering battle qi totems, followed by Zhang Tie .
The moment they left, the other knights of the team had exchanged a glance with each other before hiding somewhere nearby .
Being not far from them was a precipice of the first abyss . In the precipice, there were many vertical, valley-like gullies as deep as hundreds of meters . The gullies had been covered with thick and huge abyss vines . Any gully could hide hundreds of people, not to mention 10 .
