As for what kind of demon it was, Mo Chen did not dare probe carefully with his divine sense.
His divine sense had already reached very close. Any closer, and even a being at his own level would detect it.
Thus, Mo Chen did not dare act rashly.
The dark figure then swept its divine sense around as well. Seeing that the Li Household's daughter-in-law still had a breath left in her, it waited in the treetops.
Only when the village roosters crowed, and the dark figure saw that the Li Household's daughter-in-law still had not breathed her last, did it fly back up the mountain.
For some reason, this demon came out at night and flew back to its mountain dwelling as soon as day broke.
Mo Chen pondered this. Judging by all the villages and towns along his route where graves had been disturbed, this demon generally acted at night. Some unknown circumstances kept it occupied during the day.
They left it struggling to cope, so it only emerged at night.
As Mo Chen turned this over in his mind, he first ruled out several common nocturnal demon beasts. He already had a few possible answers.
However, all those possibilities were winged demon beasts capable of flight. He would have to prepare some countermeasures specifically for them.
After an uneventful night, Mo Chen did not lower his guard. At dawn, he used an illusion technique to disguise himself as a beggar and begged from villagers at a spot anyone coming down the mountain had to pass.
But that was not Mo Chen's main purpose. First, he wanted to lie in wait for the vegetable-buying boy he had met yesterday. Second, he wanted to survey the mountain's terrain and set up restrictions and formation flags in the woods.
