"Ah?"
Cui Yan's eyes widened, his beard trembling slightly as he cried in shock, "You can feel that too?"
"I can!" Qin He gritted his teeth. Once the pain eased, he instinctively reached for Cui Yan again, intending to grab him and demand answers.
But the next instant, he howled and clutched his foot again.
"Ah... fuck, they stepped on it again!"
"Hurry up and help!"
"Help?" Cui Yan froze, spreading his hands. "Immortal, how am I supposed to help?"
"Find, find, find... my toe!" Qin He shouted.
Cui Yan's face immediately twisted like he was constipated. This was practically asking him to ascend to heaven.
After a pause, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Since you can feel pain, Immortal, can you sense what's stepping on you? That would at least narrow things down. I know all the Greater Demons and Lesser Demons around Domain Gate Palace. I definitely won't shield anyone."
By then, Qin He had just recovered. Thinking back, he said, "I don't know. I couldn't feel it clearly. It was very hard and heavy, and the force was strong too."
"Could it... be some sort of hammer weapon?" Cui Yan asked doubtfully. "If so, I do know of two demons that wield hammers."
"It probably... wasn't metal." Qin He concentrated, then shook his head. "It didn't feel cold."
"Anything else?"
"Let me think."
Qin He scratched his head, just about to continue recalling, when another wave of pain struck. It made him howl again.
"Immortal, this is a clue. Endure the pain and sense what weapon it is," Cui Yan hurriedly said.
"Damn it, it's not you who's hurting. You try it, then." Qin He glared at him angrily.
But curses aside, Qin He steadied himself and carefully sensed the things striking his big toe.
