Rest in a Demon's Embrace [BL]

Da Tou and Xiao Tou had both gotten excited after experiencing the battle against the shrew. They still felt their blood boil and were ready to face any enemy that might come their way.

"For now, we need to find somewhere secure to adjust our condition. Although we won this battle, we still drained some of our energy, and we need to ensure that we are in our best condition for the next encounter.

"Even though we might be able to defeat another enemy similar to the shrew, we might encounter some beasts that live in groups or even have others that get attracted by the sounds of battle or smell of blood."

Luo Xiao looked at the pair of brothers and quickly noticed that they understood the severity of the matter. Although they needed to train, they did not wish to throw in their lives and should take the more secure route at first.

"There is a suitable place just next to where we entered the meadow," Xiao Tou pointed to the direction they had come from. "Over there is a small ditch right below a minor hill. The side of the ditch is a big rock, and nothing should be able to attack us from the back if we rest there.

"At the same time, the ditch is also rather hidden beneath a few larger shrubs, so as long as we do not have any particular scent of blood, or make any loud sounds, we should be able to stay there securely."

Luo Xiao could not help but nod his head approvingly. Although he had understood many things throughout his journeys, there were still also many aspects where he was lacking. He was not as good as Xiao Tou when it came to remembering the landscape, so he approved of the suggestion and the trio quickly withdrew.

"This place is very suitable." Upon arriving at the ditch, Luo Xiao was very satisfied. Although it was called a ditch, it was more of a hole dug into the ground with a small hill behind to give some security when fighting. No one would be able to sneak in on them from behind.

At the same time, the shrubs that were mentioned were all oversized. Just as the meadow, which was larger than ordinary, these shrubs were also as large as many trees in their home world, and the hole was perfectly hidden beneath.

Luo Xiao looked at the surrounding area, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. The meadow had various places where there were small patches of shrubs, and most of them were filled with animals, but this specific place was further away from the others, and only on the border of the meadow, so it was very peaceful.

Even so, it would not take long to move from one place to another, and it was very suitable for them to come back here, if they needed a rest.

"I suggest we stay here for some time." Luo Xiao had heard that the time within the Secret Realm was different from the outside, but usually, those who stayed inside said that time went much slower, and that it took many days inside before one day had passed in the outside world.

As such, it was easy to guess that they would stay within this Secret Realm for long, and it would benefit them greatly, if they had a camp somewhere, where they could return to rest.

"I have a few formations we can place, to make this location even more secure. At the same time, we should also place down a few traps, to stop anyone who tries to approach.

"I believe you have also brought some daily necessities, and while we are bringing these with us anywhere we go, it is still a good thing to adjust this ditch so that we can rest here often."

All luggage and personal belongings were kept within the storage treasures, but they still needed to remove the weeds at the bottom of the ditch, even out the soil, and cover it with some fresh grass, so that they could rest here without troubles in the future.

"I will fetch the grass," Xiao Tou called out, quickly determining which task he was going to take, and began moving cautiously around to find grass a short distance away from the ditch.

He did not dare to take anything too close, as it would become too obvious, but on the other hand, he would not go too far either, as it would be too dangerous. Please visit 𝑓ree𝑤𝘦𝚋𝐧𝘰ve𝑙. co𝒎

While Xiao Tou was fetching grass, Da Tou was using his hammers to flatten the soil, making it compact and even, and Luo Xiao was busy placing down various formations to ensure their safety.

When he knew that they were going to enter the Secret Realm, he had spent a lot of resources and time to prepare, and many formations had been gathered beforehand.

One of the formations he used here was one that could block all sound from within so that even if the three of them were talking, no one outside the formation would be able to hear them.

Another was an optic illusion, that made the shrub appear untouched. Even if Luo Xiao and the others moved around within the shrubs, it would not be seen from the outside of the formation, giving another layer of security.

He also used a formation to block the various changes in flow of heaven and earth essence, so that others would not be able to sense them while cultivation, and a few traps, that would confuse and attack those who tried to forcefully break through the previous formations.
