Inside the Demon Territory.
A dark red appeared in the sky, casting an ominous feeling.
Even the land’s outskirts released an astonishing surface heat. Boots specially made from winter materials had to be worn to be able to walk about freely.
In the end, I still couldn’t say it! Amanda carried her bow and a bag full of arrows, glancing at her team beside her while laughing bitterly in her heart.
She was unable to tell them about the truth of her divinity and naturally did not have a good excuse to leave them. Finally, this kept getting delayed, and by the time she recovered her composure, the small adventurer team had already set off.
Luckily, there was the deterrence of that powerful divinity. That one-eyed man shouldn’t be deliberately keeping watch on me…
Amanda released a deep breath.
If she brought any harm to her team because of her origins, she would never be able to forgive herself.
“Damn… this environment is really hot!”
The party had only walked for half a day before already sweating profusely and having to stop for rest.
Fortunately, at this moment, Sorcerer Michael took out a tent. After entering, the temperature quickly dropped, and even a layer of ice blankets was placed on the ground.
“Drink some water.”
After sitting down to rest, Michael fawned on Amanda by offering her a water bag.
“Thanks.”
Amanda already knew long ago that he had an interest in her.
She received the water bag but gazed at team leader Clegg, her heart silently sighing.
“Mister Luhn, I didn’t think you were a proficient sketcher.” Clegg was currently squatting beside Fang Yuan and looking at him sketch a map of the Demon Territory, a look of admiration in his eyes.
“I’ve only had a few lessons…” Fang Yuan smiled slightly and stopped his movements. “Although this Demon Territory was originally a human nation, many changes in the terrain have occurred from what I saw today.”
“Yeah, thanks to those damned Evil Demons!”
Clegg murmured, “According to our schedule, we’ll reach the Scarlet Gorge after seven days. If we head further a bit more, we’ll reach the depths of the Demon Territory, a dangerous environment that not even adventurers have fully explored. According to our agreement, once we reach the Scarlet Gorge, we’ll circle around it and return.”
The Evil Demons in the periphery were few and had very low abilities, and a small adventurer team was able to handle them.
However, as it went deeper, the Evil Demon numbers would constantly increase, and there was even the existence of a Netherworld river that directly formed Evil Demon worms! Due to God’s arrival and the murder of the Death God by Jay, nobody could stop the upheaval inside the Netherworld.
Even to Legends, that was a terribly dangerous forbidden area.
“Of course I know this.” Fang Yuan nodded slightly.
In fact, he had employed this adventurer team entirely out of convenience and because this young female archer named Amanda had aroused some of his interest.
A heart considered to be kind and has not been polluted by divinity has unfortunately been coveted…
Fang Yuan looked toward the team with a bright light flashing across his eyes.
With Amanda as the bait, he easily found two hooked by it.
One of them was that one-eyed Quasi-Legend that was still a little hesitant.
After all, with his abilities, he could definitely defeat Amanda, but still had some trouble dealing with the well-equipped team. Therefore, he was still lurking about like a poisonous snake, trying to find an opportunity.
The other one was the new Slaughter God who had seized the Slaughter Godhood.
“Destiny is so interesting!”
Fang Yuan looked at his right hand. In the air, and indiscernible by the naked eye of ordinary people, threads of divinity were pulled by him through mysterious channels to exert their influence and obtain more information.
“The one-eyed person is called Lauder, and this God is called Zorro?
“Furthermore, this Zorro has always been pursuing Jay and finally obtained the revelation regarding Sun God Ramon being inside the Demon Territory…
“Right now, he is following behind only to bring a little enjoyment during his journey, or perhaps he’s found something?”
After all, Fang Yuan was not a pure native, and sometimes even inferior to them, as they were able to receive the revelation of destiny.
To the Monger World, however, if Ramon had to fall, even if he arbitrarily merged with any apotheosizing Son of Purgatory, it would gain a rich harvest and create a powerful enemy for Fang Yuan.
“Since that’s the case…”
Fang Yuan laughed lightly and started prodding the divinity.
Outside the tent, behind a black rock.
Lauder stared with his remaining eye at the tent. “You can’t escape, my sister! I’ll ultimately become a Legend and even apotheosize! Now, I’ll have you contribute everything to me!”
Only, he looked at the huge tent with some hesitation.
After all, he was alone and had not exceeded Quasi-Legend, and it was possible for him to be targeted by human wave tactics.
At this time, a strong desire to kill instantly filled his heart, even making his eyes involuntarily turn red.
“Hehe… Kill her, kill that woman, and then become stronger! I could then oppose that mysterious person!”
Even though he had only seen him once, Zorro had left behind huge psychological trauma in him. After all, all the Sons of Purgatory were enemies in the end!
“You think that by withdrawing into that team, I wouldn’t be able to cope with you?”
After all, Lauder was not a fool. The influence exerted by Fang Yuan using the divinity was subtle and unlikely to immediately make him reckless.
Thus, he turned and surveyed the surrounding environment. He immediately saw a few wandering small Evil Demons, and his vicious smile quickly grew larger.
…
“This tent is really not bad!”
Fang Yuan was now sitting on a refreshing rug and looking around.
Clegg stuck out his chest and proudly introduced, “This is a tool that has been specially customized by the Adventurer Society using the experience of exploring the Demon Territory. Not only does it have a cooling effect, its most important feature is concealment. In the eyes of the small Evil Demons, they will only see a giant rock here. Of course, once they become a large Evil Demon and obtain more intelligence, it’s completely impossible to deceive them. Also, if a small Evil Demon comes close, it will see through it. However, we can deal with that!”
“That’s great…”
Just after Fang Yuan nodded, the thief lying down suddenly sat up with a worried look. “Leader, there’s a situation!”
Most of the scouts in ancient times had the unique skill of listening to the ground. Even if they were sleeping, they could be woken up by a cavalry charge.
Even though it was currently a different world, the principle was largely similar.
“Were we discovered by a small Evil Demon?”
Slightly doubtful, Clegg rushed out of the tent and instantly widened his eyes.
Inside his field of vision, a large area of crimson red was surging over that contained at least a few hundred small Evil Demons. Among them were a few that distinctly stood out—large Evil Demons.
“Impossible, how can we be so unlucky and just happen to come across an Evil Demon tide?” Clegg screamed, “Everyone prepare. Those who don’t wish to die, immediately fight!”
Caw! Caw!
Just as he screamed, a small Evil Demon had already leaped over, its crimson red skin and sharp horns clearly visible.
Although small Evil Demons were easily dealt with by professionals, once there were more of them, a qualitative change would occur.
Furthermore, there were even large Evil Demons hidden within these small Evil Demons.
“Run in that direction!” Amanda appeared and immediately pointed at a direction just with a single glance.
There was a small hill over there, which was slightly more convenient to defend.
“Focus on protecting Mister Luhn!”
Clegg charged to the front as a layer of fighting spirit was emitted. The small team fought against the Evil Demons as they shifted toward favorable terrain.
Caw! Caw!
Suddenly, a large Evil Demon laughed weirdly and a huge fireball was thrown over.
“It’s the Fireball spell!” Michael shouted loudly and ripped open some magic scrolls. “Protection from Fire!”
He was not a pastor and did not have decent disruption spells. Facing this sort of attack, he could only forcefully resist.
The next moment.
Kaboom!
Accompanying the loud explosion, flames swept through. Even with protection, they received some slight injuries and were placed in a very difficult position.
Most importantly, more small Evil Demons had charged forward and nearly surrounded them.
Caw! Caw!
Suddenly, two giant Evil Demons flapped their wings and descended from the sky.
The other warrior did not have time to dodge and was directly pulled into the sky before plummeting onto the hard ground and being surrounded by small Evil Demons pouncing at him, his flesh and blood splattering.
“Damn! This group of Evil Demons is very strange!”
Clegg retreated while shouting loudly at Michael, “Stop feeling sorry and quickly use that! Our life is more important!”
“Okay!” Michael gritted his teeth and took out an even higher level scroll.
This was a high-level spell that the team had specially purchased in order to face the dangers of the Demon Territory. This required the capital of the entire team and was always regarded as a trump card.
At the moment, he could no longer worry and directly activated it. “Go die!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Cold winds blew and drops of water turned to ice.
A giant icy tornado was formed and instantly caused the scorching hot hell to transform into a frozen and snow-covered land.
“High-level Spell: Icy Storm!”
Strong winds swept through, carrying with it an onslaught of icicle and hailstones that rapidly blew through the Evil Demon army, leaving behind many crumbling ice sculptures.
Even for a large Evil Demon, their resistant skin was as thin as paper under the offense of a high-level spell.
After a while, the effects of the spell ended and the scorching hot temperature once again engulfed them, melting the frost.
Clegg saw this scene and sighed. “Ahh… let’s bring back Rick’s corpse and properly bury it!”
“Hehe… can’t believe you had such a card in your hand!”
At this moment, a one-eyed man slowly approached from outside the campsite and calmly stared greedily at Amanda.
“It’s you!” Amanda was first surprised, but later became so infuriated that her body started burning. “Those Evil Demons were lured over by you?”
