Chapter 532 Followed Back
"————"
In that instant, the air around them changed completely.
It was as if a foul stench mixed with garbage and the musky odor of wild beasts had permeated the surroundings, creating a palpable atmosphere of change.
"Shh..."
The surrounding trees seemed to welcome a roaring gust of wind, swaying and rustling the leaves with a clear sound.
"Elder Sister..."
"I know..."
Rem and Ram had completely entered a state of alertness. Though still trailing behind Fang Li, one on each side, their eyes scanned the surroundings.
Soon, Rem and Ram both saw it.
Among the surrounding trees and within the thickets, shadows began to move stealthily, gradually approaching.
"Shh..."
This time, it wasn't the trees swaying but the grass rustling.
Rem and Ram's senses had fully captured the scent of wild beasts in the air, so they understood.
Within those swaying thickets, there were ferocious beasts.
Then, as if targeting prey, the savage gazes began to converge from all directions of the thickets onto Fang Li's entire group.
Therefore, Rem and Ram understood.
They and the others were surrounded.
In such a situation, Fang Li still seemed oblivious, walking openly along the forest path.
However, it was obvious that Fang Li didn't have a specific destination in mind; he was simply walking forward.
His demeanor didn't seem like he intended to uncover the Curse User hidden here, but rather, it seemed like he was just taking a stroll.
"Sigh..." Ram sighed involuntarily as she followed Fang Li, "Ram has never regretted her decisions as much as she does today."
Naturally, she was referring to the decision to follow Fang Li here.
In response, Rem didn't blindly agree with her Elder Sister as usual. Instead, she hesitated and said somewhat awkwardly, "Fang Li probably has his own plans, right?"
Clearly, Rem also didn't understand what Fang Li was thinking, but she chose to trust him.
Compared to how they treated Fang Li as a dangerous character before, this was simply the difference between heaven and earth.
"...Rem." Ram narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You're not being fooled by this idiot, are you?"
"N-No, that's not it." Rem quickly shook her head, but after hesitating for a moment, she looked at Fang Li's back, smiled faintly, and said, "It's just that I feel like Fang Li is a bit like Onee-sama. Once he decides on something, he moves forward without any hesitation."
Indeed, Fang Li had similarities with Ram.
That was their unwavering decisiveness.
To put it bluntly, they both had a bit of fearlessness.
However, this fearlessness, for those who followed beside him, could dispel their inner fears and foster confidence.
And Rem was the most qualified person to evaluate this.
"Because Rem has always been like this, following behind the Elder Sister who is similar to Fang Li."
Hearing this, Ram couldn't help but look at Rem.
There, Rem was gazing at Fang Li's back, her eyes gradually filled with admiration.
Just like the Rem who once followed behind Ram, chasing after Ram tirelessly.
The Little Sister who held admiration for her Elder Sister now felt the same emotions towards Fang Li, who shared similarities with her own Elder Sister and was being followed by her.
"Sigh..." Ram sighed once again. However, this time, her sigh carried a hint of helplessness and a touch of indulgence.
"There's no helping it." Ram, facing Fang Li's back with impatience, said, "Even if you die and end up in hell, Ram won't let you off."
Hearing the voice from behind, Fang Li smiled and responded, "Even if it's not hell, just being haunted by ghosts is enough to scare me."
"So, at least I won't let you guys die."
The response to Fang Li's words came not from the twin maids but from the surrounding hunters.
"Roar..."
"Roar..."
With deep roars, the surrounding bushes swayed even more violently.
It seemed as if Fang Li, Rem, and Ram's arrogant attitude of ignoring their surroundings and simply moving forward had stimulated them.
The next moment, the air around them changed once again.
From a suppressed state, it suddenly erupted into tension.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh—!"
Immediately after, the surrounding bushes violently shook, and shadows burst out.
"They're here!"
Rem and Ram's tense nerves snapped, and they both turned sharply in unison, raising one hand.
Magic power began to gather in the hands of the twin sisters.
It wasn't until this moment that Rem and Ram could see the full appearance of the predators surrounding them.
They resembled legendary Hellhounds, to put it bluntly, they looked like common dogs but in a demonic form.
The demon beasts had short black fur all over their bodies, claw-like toes, and mouths full of sharp teeth that continuously drooled, emitting a vicious and disgusting sound in the air.
With low growls, these demon beasts stared at Fang Li's entire group with bloodshot eyes, carrying emotions akin to those of a starving dog.
Suddenly, these demon beasts leaped out from the surrounding bushes, pouncing from all directions, instantly surrounding Fang Li's entire group.
Seeing a group of demon beasts pounce towards them, Rem and Ram immediately wanted to take action.
However, in that instant, something unbelievable happened.
"Flashing Scabbard - Instant Prison..."
Like a whisper, phantoms suddenly flashed around Fang Li's entire group, wielding their waning moon daggers and slashing at the incoming demon beasts with swift motions.
Blade lights flickered like moonlight.
"Pū Chī— Pū Chī— Pū Chī—!"
Continuous slashing sounds echoed.
At that moment, countless afterimages wielded their sharp blades, elegantly and dazzlingly cutting down the demon beasts pouncing towards them.
Each strike cleanly bisected a demon beast's body.
In a flurry of "pā tà pā tà" sounds, a large amount of blood and flesh fell from the sky, covering the ground.
The afterimages around them flashed like lightning, one after another, converging towards Fang Li's figure.
Rem and Ram slowly widened their eyes.
The entire process took less than a second.
In one second, all the demon beasts were slain.
Not a single one survived.
