Chapter 545: In Danger

The moment Azier's eyes rested on the table, Li became alert.

She got out from under the bed without hesitation, ran to the door, then bit the door handle to open the door, and ran out of the room quietly.

There were two guards standing guard less than five steps away from her.

But their eyes were all fixed on the direction of the aisle, and they didn't notice the fox demon slipping out from behind.

Li jumped back and forth from the floor to the beam, and at this moment, the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air came from the room.

She lay on the top of the aisle, holding her breath, and completely merged with the shadow.

After a while, Azier came out of the room, "Take me to see the manager, someone invaded my room!"

His shouting startled all the guards patrolling on the third floor. For a while, people came and went under Li, blocking the aisle tightly.

This method is effective for ordinary thieves, but it is meaningless to Li.

Obviously, they lacked experience in dealing with oriental monsters. Half-beasts could not transform, but monsters could. For any "small species" that could fully utilize their own advantages, the entire roof was an open space for them to move freely, not to mention the fox monsters with better intelligence.

What she really needed to be wary of was the air sensor in the room.

After waiting for a long time, the man did not come out of the house.

Seeing that the situation below was gradually stabilizing, Li was relieved. She stood up and began to crawl along the shadow of the beam. The auction hall was on the first floor, and she only needed to return from the corridor entrance along the original route.

The stairs were the most exposed place, because the floor here was the upper stairs, leaving her no place to hide, so she had to run to the bottom in one breath.

Li squatted at the entrance of the corridor for a long time, found an opportunity when no one was around, and jumped down.

The moment her feet left the beam, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed, as if a stone had been smashed into a calm lake -

Before Li could think about what that meant, her head had hit an invisible wall!

The light spread out in all directions, and she fell heavily to the ground, her mind buzzing.

What happened just now?

She staggered to her feet and found that she did not jump into the corridor as expected, but fell beside the first step.

Li tentatively stretched out her claws forward, and found that she could no longer cross the stairs half a step - an invisible barrier was placed in front of her, and the length and width basically occupied all the space in the corridor!

What was worse was that footsteps were heard behind her.

Li could only resist the dizziness, climb up the roof beam again, and continue to move towards another corridor entrance.

However, this time, her stealth method seemed to be ineffective.

No matter which fork she took, there would be guards following her, as if they could see her footprints.

"There is something wrong with this path!"

"Yes, it's like they are deliberately hiding from us. Animals like wild cats can't do this, right?"

"Quickly notify Lord Carmen - we may have found the intruder!"

The conversation of the guards made Li's heart sink suddenly.

Listening to their words, it seemed that she could capture the trajectory of all the moving objects in the room! And her intention to constantly find a new route instead accelerated the exposure of her whereabouts.

Li suddenly realized that the change in the aura before was not just a problem of a wall. Now the whole villa might be shrouded by magic, and her actions in the house were no longer secret.

To make matters worse, she also felt that the qi in her body was being consumed at an accelerated rate - to be more precise, it was being drawn away. This was the first time Li encountered such a situation. There is no doubt that this was a restriction deliberately set by the Holy Palace against the qi-sensing people. As long as they stayed in the house for half a night, they would become an ordinary person even if they were not discovered. Facing a large number of guards, they had no chance of winning.

At this rate, she could only hold on for more than a quarter of an hour at most, and the transformation would lose its effectiveness.

The situation was already very critical.

Just as Li was hesitating whether to tell Xia Fan the news, the audio transmitter on her back vibrated first.

That was a prompt for sensing the electromagnetic signal!

She immediately connected the audio transmitter.

"Hey... Li, are you okay?" After a burst of noise, Xia Fan's anxious voice came from the loudspeaker.

"It's okay for now, but they seem to have discovered my movements." Li continued to circle with the guards on the roof to ensure that they could not see him directly with their naked eyes. "And there are spells in this house that hinder my actions. I can't go back to the first floor to meet you."

"That's the villa's maze lock working. You can think of it as a formation." Hearing the news that Li was fine, the other side breathed a sigh of relief, "Where are you now?"

"In the corridor on the third floor, I can't tell the exact location."

"Can I go to the surrounding rooms?" Xia Fan asked again.

"It's not a big problem. They haven't surrounded me yet." Li replied while running.

"Very good. You go to the house on the west now-as long as it's the row on the outermost window, any room will do."

The formation can even close the corridor entrance, and it is impossible to miss the common escape exit such as windows. In other words, there is still a chance to dodge and move in the corridor. Once you enter the house, if the enemy blocks the door, it will be a dead end.

However, based on his trust in Xia Fan, Li agreed without hesitation.

"What will happen after entering the house?"

"Stand by the window and let me see you."

...

"Sir Azier, I heard that the guards have locked the location of the intruder, and Lord Carmen is on his way to capture him."

After listening to the report from the Holy Palace attendant, Azier suddenly became alert, "Take me there quickly."

"But... the other party is a demon possessor, there may be certain dangers--"

He flashed the ring in his hand and interrupted the other party directly, "Do you think I have no precautions at all? Besides, there are restrictions on the maze locks here, and Master Carmen is in charge. Even if he has great ability, he can't make any waves." At this point, Azier's voice suddenly turned cold, "Listen carefully, this guy invaded my room and is now my prey. I won't hand him over to others. Before I die, I want to hear his most sincere confession-if someone interferes with this, I don't mind replacing him with someone else. Do you understand?"

The attendant swallowed his saliva and dared not say another word, "Understood, understood, please follow me."

With a group of people in front and behind, Azier rushed to the "trapped place" of the intruder, in front of an empty upper room on the third floor.

Several guards were lying on the floor at the door, their eyes closed, their lives unknown, obviously the first round of fighting had already taken place.

And Master Carmen stood in the middle of the hall, confronting the intruder head-on.

There were no candles or oil lamps in the room, it was basically pitch black, the only light source was a ray of white moonlight shining in from the window. With this little light, Azier saw the thief who was forced to the window sill.

Judging from the outline, the other party was a female half-beast.
