Chapter 208: Small Town at Night

While looking at the projected map, Lijier said:

"We won't go to the areas that have been explored."

Yao Yan nodded.

The areas that Paradise has explored are all recorded in their Revelation.

"Our goal is here."

Lijier looked up at "Jia Li" who was facing her:

"According to the direction of the underground passage destroyed in Paradise, the previous demon hunters have explored the area with a diameter of 300 kilometers centered on Paradise."

"If we want to explore, we have to start from 300 kilometers away."

Yao Yan's sight also fell on the map light and shadow projected by "Revelation".

On the map light and shadow, an irregular area that is almost circular appears.

The northeast and northwest directions are wider, and the whole should be said to be like a fan.

Even if there is no mark on the map, Yao Yan knows that Paradise is in the north of the center of the fan.

The two set out in the west, which is closest to the edge of the explored area.

"Based on the previous judgment, the direction of other 'paradise' can be considered to be along the direction of the underground track."

Unlike the very calm Lijier in the original owner's impression, the Lijier in front of Yao Yan is very proactive and less calm.

The reason may be that she seems to have put down some burden.

She originally planned to find the paradise, but she has never made up her mind.

Yao Yan's proposal to find the paradise was the last push.

From Lijier's actions, Yao Yan thinks this judgment is more reasonable.

Of course, it is also possible that Lijier has a strong sense of responsibility and chooses to lead the team in order to be responsible for her "Jia Li".

Or maybe she was hit by the loss of her companions, but according to his observation, these possibilities are relatively small.

However, it doesn't matter.

If it can help him find the target faster, he can continue to use it.

But

He still needs to get a few spare bodies.

The body of the demon is needed, and non-humans, such as birds, are also needed.

It's just that when Lijier is around, he can't carry a few spare bodies like demons with him.

"Remember, our goal is underground, with the underground track as the main target."

"Understood." Yao Yan responded.

They arrived at the remains of a human settlement.

The underground track is certainly not that easy to find.

After searching for a day, they only found a human settlement that should be judged as a town.

After actively changing the color and characteristics of the body surface to that of a demon, the two entered the town.

Compared with the mimic, the tracker's body can change less, and the overall maximum change in body size is 15%-25%.

But this is enough, Lijier believes that the demon's posture is enough for disguise.

And Yao Yan is even more so.

It doesn't matter whether this body exists or not to him, it's just to avoid the attenuation of mental power caused by the mind leaving the body.

Yao Yan looked up at the night sky.

Plants will stop most of their photosynthesis at night.

But the demon will become flexible at the same time as photosynthesis stops because the body functions disappear.

Not only the ability to move, but also other senses, including the activeness of thinking.

It is common sense for demon hunters not to go to the surface at night.

For the two trackers, what they need to do is to find an area to rest for a whole night to avoid being discovered by demons.

Because they cannot return to Paradise, they also need to carefully confirm whether there are demons near the resting area.

Will demons get into the ancient human city ruins?

According to Paradise's research records, yes.

Demons hate environments where the sun is blocked, but they have animal habits and like to have shelters.

They can enjoy the sun during the day and protect their safety at night.

Human city ruins are a good choice-

However, because the surface of the ruins city is covered by a large area of ​​"rocks", there is less direct soil, which is a bad choice for demons who need to take root like plants.

Of course, if demons choose to carry soil into the city, that's another story.

In short, based on Paradise's overall observation and research, demons prefer natural environments to cities.

Therefore, choosing city ruins for rest at night is a more preferred choice.

However,

The architectural style of the town is not a single building he knows.

Mixed style.

Urban buildings may be full of reinforced concrete and glass curtains, but small towns and villages will gradually emerge with clear characteristics.

It is not the brick and tile house or flat-roofed house that Yao Yan is most familiar with.

Although it is damaged, many complex patterns and decorations can be seen.

Neoclassicism?

No, it is too mixed.

Baroque, Hellenistic Egyptian style, Roman style

The style features that Yao Yan can identify are too complicated, and there are even style architectural features of new Chinese architecture.

It is not like the world of Dasheng, where there are various clear Chinese buildings that can be identified as regions.

"Jia Li?"

A low voice came.

"Here."

Yao Yan responded in a low voice and followed Li Jier.

At this time, Li Jier, who hid in the corner of a tall building with Yao Yan, whispered:

"Jia Li, can you stand loneliness?"

Yao Yan glanced at her, wondering why this captain lady suddenly became literary?

However, Yao Yan soon realized that he was wrong. The other party was not petty bourgeois and self-indulgent, but

"The bad nature of social animals will cause anxiety due to lack of communication with companions and the number of companions."

Li Jier lay by the window, squinting at the outside world:

"But this gene cannot be removed. After removing this gene, the demon hunters basically do not return to paradise after leaving."

"They will stay in areas without enemies and other creatures."

Listening, Yao Yan did not respond much.

It should not be a wonderful experience for social animals to act in uninhabited places.

Perhaps in the previous life, there would be people who yearn for beautiful travel, small places, and living alone because of aesthetic fatigue of urban life.

But if you have actually experienced it, living alone in a place where there is no communication with people, a strong sense of loneliness is inevitable.

Oh, of course, those who have the Internet but say "I am not lonely even if I don't communicate with others" are not counted.

Unfortunately, even though Yao Yan knew that this feeling of loneliness came from the instinct of social animals, he no longer had this feeling.

It was just that the logic generated by the experience formed by the sense of dominance told him that he was lonely at this time.

"Loneliness" was presupposed from the beginning.

The two of them discussed the impact of the genes of social animals.

But suddenly, Yao Yan closed his mouth and covered Lijier's mouth.

Something entered the town at a very fast speed.
