The two advanced-ranked demons did not know that someone had their eyes on them, and so they teased Fang Qiu’s nerves with great interest.
“How many slaves do you think the two leaders of the God Wind Alliance would give us if we were to take them away?” The shorter demon smirked.
Fang Qiu’s face turned deathly white. The cards were now in the other party’s favor. He did not know what else he could do anymore.
Fight?
They looked at the two advanced-ranked demons that were comparable to Second-Class experts and the hundreds of low-ranked demons. How could they defeat them?
“You… you cannot do this. You will incite a war between the God Wind Alliance and the demons in this area.” Fang Qiu trembled as he threatened them.
They were too weak.
The two advanced-ranked demons laughed loudly.
“War? Ever since we demons entered the Forsaken Land, the war with you humans has never stopped. It is the same in the Brilliance Continent and the Forsaken Land. You humans banished us to such a desolate place, but you could not bear to part with the land and resources here. How much effort did you spend building a city in the Forsaken Land? From the day you entered here, it was destined that the battle between you and us will never end. In such a situation, do you think I care how many times I fight you humans?” The taller demon transformed into his original form and looked at Fang Qiu with contempt.
“Furthermore, do you think you can fight me if I control both of them? Or do you think you can feed me well?” The two advanced-ranked demons’ greedy gazes had already looked past the crowd and towards Long Xueyao and Gu Feng.
These two baits were very attractive. As long as they had them, they could control everything.
“As for you? We only need those two. The rest will become our food!” The demon laughed as he announced the death of the mercenaries.
The two demons raised their arms and the low-ranked demons behind them immediately pounced towards the mercenaries.
In an instant, the demons and mercenaries were locked in a fight.
The mercenaries knew that they had no other way out so they desperately tried to kill the demons in front of them.
Even if they were to die, they would drag at least two demons down with them.
Fang Qiu was besieged by a group of intermediate-ranked demons. He was already riddled with scars, so he had no strength to break out of the encirclement.
The demons tore a hole in the protective circle, and the two advanced-ranked demons swaggered towards the last two humans.
Gu Feng nervously held the bow in his hand as his hands began to tremble. As he watched the two powerful demons approach him, his face turned deathly white.
Long Xueyao stood at the side with a solemn expression on her delicate face. There was no fear in her eyes, only vigilance. Her right hand tightly gripped the staff in her hand.
“Yaoyao, will… will we die?” Gu Feng asked Long Xueyao with a trembling voice. He regretted his decision to follow her.
If it were not for Long Xueyao, he would not have gone to such a dangerous place.
When he questioned Long Xueyao, his trembling voice carried traces of dissatisfaction.
Long Xueyao glanced at Gu Feng and slowly said, “They won’t. They want us as hostages in exchange for benefits. They won’t kill us.”
