After Vincent and Alexia reached an agreement, the camp was relatively silent for the next few days.
Kurt was only responsible for taking care of Edward’s injuries every day, while Vincent and Alexia were responsible for patrolling around the camp.
Although Alexia treated Vincent coldly, she had fulfilled her agreement with him meticulously. She followed Vincent every day, and rarely ridiculed him.
After completing another patrol and returning to the camp, Vincent turned to Alexia and said, “It has been many days and there hasn’t been any movement. Have you noticed any problems in the surroundings?”
Alexia shook her head and said blankly, “Everything is normal in the surroundings. Why would there be any problems?”
Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, “We have only been patrolling the surroundings of the camp for the past few days. We have not explored the periphery. We can only prevent others from secretly approaching, but we cannot prevent them from spying on us from afar!”
Alexia was stunned upon hearing that. She quickly turned her head to look at the mountains behind her, but she still did not find anything odd.
However, this time, Alexia did not question Vincent. Instead, she chose to question herself. She stretched out two fingers and gently wiped them in front of her eyes. She shouted in a deep voice, “Magic Eye!”
A black and purple light instantly shot out from Alexia’s eyes, forming a concentrated light pillar. The light shot straight toward the opposite mountain peak.
Alexia’s vision had reached its peak. She could see everything.
“Someone is watching us!”
After checking again, Alexia sighed because she saw two members of the Lingluo Race camping on the mountain in the distance. They were sizing up the camp and whispering to each other as if they were discussing a plan.
Unfortunately, they were too far away. Alexia could not see their lip movements so she could not guess what they were talking about.
Vincent walked to Alexia’s side and looked up at the mountain peak. He said softly, “Although my vision is not as sharp as yours, I had expected to be spied on. Now, you can slowly shift your gaze away. Don’t let them realize that we have discovered them!”
Alexia turned her gaze back to Vincent and asked with a frown, “You’ve long guessed that someone is watching us from the outside, but how did you come up with the guess in the first place? What’s the reason?”
Vincent took out a bunch of modification authority scrolls. He smiled and said, “Because before you came back, I had ruthlessly extorted a Lingluo Race member and obtained many modification authority scrolls from him. This is an absolute treasure of the Lingluo Race and it is not to be shared with anyone. Therefore, he must have gone back to recruit some helpers to find an opportunity to snatch the modification authority scrolls from me!”
Alexia could not help but feel that Vincent’s explanation was a little too simple. She asked, “Just based on this, you are able to conclude that there is someone watching us from the outside?”
Vincent nodded and said with a serious expression, “If this piece of news is known by the Lingluo Race, that fellow who was extorted by me will not be able to escape death. Therefore, he must think of various ways to save himself. He can either gather men to kill me or steal the modification authority scrolls from my hands. No matter which method he chooses, the prerequisite is that he must be close to our camp! Therefore, I’ve been patrolling around the camp these days to force them to stay far away and watch us only. Even though I can’t see the figures on the mountain peak, I could guess that there must be peeping eyes around us!”
Alexia could not help but sigh, “I finally know why our Great Demon Corps was fooled by you! Your intelligence is too terrifying. You could only be described as a monster!”
Vincent did not refuse Alexia’s praise. Instead, he reminded her in a low voice, “From today onward, we don’t need to go out to patrol anymore. I’ve estimated that it’s about time. It’s time to trigger those who only dare to watch but do not dare to come close and attack us!”
After seeing that Vincent was being so crazy, Alexia could not help but be a bit stunned. However, after coming back to her senses, she still carried out Vincent’s order silently.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. When Vincent and Alexia did not go out to patrol, the Lingluo Race members who were secretly watching on the mountain peak finally became bold and took advantage of the night. They quietly sneaked in front of the camp.
“Armand, are you sure that the person who obtained the modification authority scrolls from you is still in the camp? If he is as powerful as you say, he should have discovered us!”
A member of the Lingluo Race who was lying behind a huge rock carefully questioned Armand.
Armand looked away. It looked as if he was deliberately avoiding the individual who asked the question. This was because he did not dare to tell the truth of the matter to his companion.
This was because it was a sin to hand over the modification authority scrolls to another race. It was something that he would not be able to atone for even after death. Therefore, he could only say that Vincent had forcefully snatched the scrolls from his hands and deceived a group of his powerful friends. He was prepared to launch a sneak attack on Vincent overnight.
It would be good if he could kill Vincent directly, but if he could not, he had to retrieve the scrolls from him at all costs!
Armand could only continue to use lies to appease everyone. He said in a low voice, “Although that guy seems like a level 50 creature, his methods are a little unusual, so it’s not easy to deal with him!”
The other members of the Lingluo Race were not wary of Armand. They believed whatever he said. After they had a certain understanding of Vincent’s strength, they all rubbed their fists together. They were prepared to charge into the camp at any time.
A fireball suddenly rose from the camp and shot straight into the air, illuminating all the Lingluo Race members who were lying on the ground. At the same time, it also made them feel extremely curious. What exactly was this fireball for?
“Bang!”
The fireball instantly exploded in the air and blossomed into a brilliant firework.
“Not good, we have been discovered. He is warning his other companions!”
Upon hearing this, Armand finally came to his senses. He knew that he had to rush to kill Vincent before the reinforcements arrived. Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, the only thing that awaited him would be death.
Armand stood up and shouted, “We don’t have much time. Let’s fight it out with him!”
He then took the lead and rushed to the camp..
