The soldiers threw out their battle axes, killing the Demon Hunters. Both sides threw their attacks and nobody had the advantage. Li Mu and I couldn’t take our eyes away. The scene was truly terrifying. These Hybrid Demons strength was completely on par with the Dragon City Knights. We all knew that these Dragon City NPC warriors’ strength was well above that of the normal Ba Huang City soldiers!
……
We all sprinted forward with all our strength. In the back, Su Ke lead his Dragon City soldiers and took the rear. They had lost over half of their men. Frost’ beautiful lips tightly pursed and she turned around and asked, “Su Ke, where are the rest of them?”
Su Ke softly said, “My Lady Frost, they’ve all gone on to the next world!”
Frost’ lips curled, her heart was sore, “Those…. those were all loyal soldiers to Dragon City, the most loyal and brave men and they…. they were actually so easily killed by the Hybrid Demons….”
Su Ke nodded, “I originally thought that the legend about the Hybrid Demons was an old wives tale. Now I know just how terrifying they are. These Hybrid Demon Hunters are only Lv 1 Hybrid Demons. Just too terrifying. I finally understand the reason for Dragon City’s existence on the Ice Ridge Mountains. If Dragon City wasn’t there to hold fort, then the Hybrid Demons would easily bathe Ba Huang City, Jiu Li City, Fan Shu City, and even the entire continent in blood….”
Luo Lin’ body lightly trembled and he took a deep breath, his face conflicted with emotion, “Dragon City has been my life’s work. I will only let Dragon City become stronger, strong enough to fight against the Hybrid Demon monsters and hold up the honor of Ba Huang City. We will achieve that, right”
Frost nodded, her eyes filled with respect, “My Lord, I have never been moved before. As long as Dragon City remains, then I will never let the Hybrid Demons harm a single soul on the continent!”
“Yes!”
……
Not long after, the great army stepped onto an area covered in black dirt. Luo Lin took a deep breath, “Finally, we have left the territory of the Blood Plains. Those damn Demon Hunters have finally stopped following us right?”
Frost’ squinted into the distance, “No, there will be other dangers, even if we don’t see them.”
Da Lin raised his iron chain and heavy shield and roared, “Continue pushing forward into the Graveyard of the Heroes. Do not relax. We must fight our way out of here all in one breathe. Otherwise, if we alert the leaders of the Hybrid Demons, then we probably won’t make it out of here. Let’s make this quick, that is our only way to survive!”
All of the Dragon City soldiers nodded and they raised their long swords, while us players followed behind them. Acting as cannon fodder was something none of us wanted, after all we were all afraid of death. Plus, I couldn’t command the brothers of my guild to go die. That was something that only people like Liu Ying or Soaring Dragon could do.
“Careful!”
Suddenly, Da Lin shouted. The entire first row of soldiers howled in pain. All we saw was a pair of black beady eyes and arms that burst forth from the ground, grabbing onto the legs of the soldiers. Then, a dark shadow rose from the ground, swallowing these soldiers. Within moments, an entire live person would melt into a pool of blood!
“Si si…”
Bodies covered in green smoke, these black things all crawled out and stuck their long tongues out. They looked at us with vicious expressions while their tongues were covered in blood and they smiled, “What a wonderful taste. It’s been ten thousand years since fresh meat has come to become our food. I’ve nearly starved to death!”
Frost was startled and said, “It’s a Lv 1 Hybrid Earth Demon. Gods, these Earth Demons have actually appeared outside of the Bloody Plains. Just what happened in the north? Has the God Demon Pact been broken?!”
Luo Lin roared and suddenly threw a fist into the ground, activating [Binding Chains] and trapping those Earth Demons. Da Lin charged forward and threw a punch. The demon screamed and became a pile of mush. Da Lin smiled codly, “Looks like, the legendary Earth Demons really aren’t much…”
Frost beautiful face was pale and she said “You’re wrong. The terrifying part about these Earth Demons isn’t that they could travel underground and they can melt human flesh. It’s that…. that these Earth Demons are a type of tribe that never act alone. Once they move, then there must be at least hundreds of thousands with them. Everyone prepare. Hurry, we’ve already been spotted by the Earth Demons!”
All of the NPCs pulled out their swords. I looked towards everyone of [Zhan Long] and said, “If you get trapped by the Earth Demons, do not worry. Healers will heal you as the Mages deal attacks. We’ll kill them one by one!”
