"This..."
Looking at the barrier that was easily shattered by the Star Devouring Whale, and the Eighth Rank Peak Golden Avian Demon that was utterly helpless in front of the Star Devouring Whale.
Li Xin, standing to the side, was momentarily stunned. The barrier that had confined her for several days had simply shattered.
"Is he really only at the Seventh Rank?" Li Xin looked at the young master standing high in the sky with a blank expression and murmured.
Hearing Li Xin's words, Furina couldn't help but laugh and say, " Lin Feng can summon ten more people stronger than him."
"He's just the last one."
Upon hearing Furina's words, Li Xin's eyes widened.
" Lin Feng can summon ten of these?" he exclaimed in horror.
"That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, based on the power rankings of this world, their strength should all have reached the Ninth Rank. They're just being suppressed right now. I've heard that the top three have strength comparable to Deity," Furina replied thoughtfully.
Upon hearing Furina's words, everyone gasped.
They simply couldn't imagine what kind of force Lin Feng would have if he summoned all these people at the same time.
They're probably qualified to share the world with the Temple Alliance and the Demon Race!
However, while everyone was in shock, the young master was somewhat disappointed.
"This Seventh Rank Peak Demon Race is too weak, not even as strong as that girl from the Wangshang Funeral Parlor..."
Despite his complaints, after finishing up here, the young master looked down at the Seventh Rank Devourer that was about to break free of its ice seal.
"Do you need any help?" the young master asked, looking at Lin Jialu was still gathering her strength.
Lin Jialu looked at the Seventh Rank Devourer in front of her with a firm gaze and said, "No need, I can handle it myself."
As Lin Jialu spoke, the Ice Element surrounding her became increasingly cold and explosive!
At this moment, the Seventh Rank Devourer had completely lost its fighting spirit after seeing the young master's move that shattered the barrier.
All I felt was fear.
Although he was simple-minded, he wasn't stupid; he killed Seventh Rank Peak Golden Avian Demon in one move.
He's only at the Seventh Rank now, what makes him think he can fight against these people?
Especially when he heard that the young master wanted to help, he was so frightened that he almost gave up resisting.
However, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Jialu refuse.
As soon as he can break through the ice, he will immediately burrow underground and escape.
His will to survive unleashed unprecedented power within him.
A loud bang.
As he struggled, the ice encasing him shattered.
The Seventh Rank Devourer stopped talking and its limbs were covered with Geo Element, making its entire body seem to merge with the earth.
It looked like the Seventh Rank Devourer was about to escape.
Fortunately, Lin Jialu had already completed the pre-attack animation of her secret technique.
He suddenly gripped the staff that was hovering in front of him.
In an instant, the staff in her hand swirled like a vortex, rapidly devouring the surrounding Ice Element.
" Ice Soul Heavenly Frost!"
A cold glint, like frost, flashed in Lin Jialu's pupils!
As she finished speaking, the staff in her hand suddenly erupted, unleashing a beam of light compressed from Ice Element that slammed into the ground.
Just as everyone was wondering why Lin Jialu had hit the ground.
The ground, which had been perfectly intact just moments before, suddenly developed numerous cracks. The next moment, transparent Ice Element burst forth from the earth, and the once solid ground appeared as if a bomb had exploded in the soil beneath.
All the soil and rocks were lifted up, and the entire valley shook violently.
Then, under the freezing effect of the Ice Element, it turned into a frozen wasteland.
The Seventh Rank Devourer was reduced to a pile of rubble by Lin Jialu's attack, revealing an orange-yellow Magic Core.
Lin Jialu reached out her palm and directly removed the frozen Magic Core.
As for the other Sixth Stage devourers, they have already been defeated by the explosion and the combined attack of the Ice Element wolves.
Seeing that Lin Jialu had already killed the Seventh Rank Devourer, the young master also canceled his Demon King Armor.
He walked up to Lin Jialu and said with a smile, "It seems that my visit this time was a bit unnecessary."
Hearing the young master's praise, Lin Jialu felt a little embarrassed.
"No, that's not true. If you hadn't killed those Avian Demon Race, I wouldn't have had it so easy."
At this moment, Li Xin, who was standing to the side, looked at Lin Jialu with a shocked expression and said, " Jia Lu, I never thought you could kill Seventh Rank Devourer!"
Although Li Xin knew that Lin Jialu had broken through to the Sixth Stage, she still couldn't calm down for a long time when she saw that Lin Jialu, with the help of Furina, had actually defeated the Seventh Rank Devourer, which was known for its defense.
You should know that when they left Bright Moon City together, Lin Jialu's strength was far inferior to his.
If it weren't for Lin Feng's help, Lin Jialu wouldn't have even been able to pass the assessment.
In less than six months, he has already been able to kill a Seventh Rank Demon Race!
It should be noted that most of the Demon Hunt Squad from the same cohort are now only at the mid-stage of the Fifth Stage.
Lin Jialu used to be ranked near the bottom, now possesses strength comparable to Seventh Rank cultivator.
This was bound to surprise those who had participated in the Demon Hunt Squad assessment together.
Lin Jialu looked at the three people who looked surprised, scratched her head and said, "My strength is considered weak in the team. Let's not talk about this anymore."
Lin Jialu changed the subject, saying, "By the way Li Xin, how did you end up being forced into this situation by the Demon Race..."
Seeing that the six-person Demon Hunt Squad had now dwindled to only three, Lin Jialu's voice softened.
Upon hearing Lin Jialu's question, Li Xin also showed a hint of sadness.
"We were just taking on some hunting missions. Originally, we were only around the Narik Province, where the Demon Race were generally weaker, and we could handle them. But then, out of nowhere, an organization called the Dragon Group suddenly appeared among the Demon Race Demon Hunt Extermination. They showed up at the border between Narik Province and the human realm. Their members are extremely powerful, and many Demon Hunt Squad have already died at the hands of the Dragon Group. To avoid encountering them, we had to take another route back to the Alliance. Who knew that we would be ambushed by other Demon Hunt Extermination along the way, which is how things turned out..."
Hearing Li Xin's words, Lin Jialu was stunned. These Demon Race were planning to take over the entire Demon Hunt Squad in the heart of the Demon Race Hinterland!
"Commander, did you hear that? What's our next plan? Should we head to the assembly point as previously agreed?"
While Lin Jialu was questioning Li Xin, Lin Jialu had already contacted Lin Feng through the World Tree Akasha Terminal.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, accompanied by Cai'er, was rushing towards their destination at top speed.
After learning from Li Xin that the border of the Demon Race was now guarded by high-ranking Demon Race, Lin Feng was not too surprised.
From the moment he entered the Demon Race border, Lin Feng noticed that the battles on the outer perimeter were significantly more intense than those inside. It was highly likely that the Demon God Emperor wanted to deplete the core strength of the Holy Alliance and create a gap in the Demon Hunt Squad.
This would suppress the growth of the Holy Alliance.
"Take Li Xin and the others to the location of the Moon Night Merchant Guild marked on the ground. After you settle them in, you and Furina Dong Ya and the others to return and I will let you know."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Feng spoke slowly.
After informing Lin Jialu and the others of their location, Lin Feng also contacted Dong Ya and the others.
" Dong Ya, what happened here?"
at the same time.
On the other side.
Inside a cave.
Accompanied by Rosalyne Cruzshika Loefat, the eighth Harbinger of Signora Fatui.
Dong Ya two companions stepped into the dark, sunless cave that reeked of a foul stench.
"We've also located the approximate location of the trapped Demon Hunt Squad, but we might be a little too late..."
Inside the cave.
Under the Signora's control, a flame illuminated the surrounding environment.
Under the flames, the ground was covered with rotting bones, as if they had been gnawed on by something.
There wasn't a single good piece of flesh on his body.
If the girls hadn't been worldly-wise, they probably would have vomited up their dinner from the night before, smelling the stench in the cave and seeing the unrecognizable, rotting corpses.
After quickly reporting the situation to Lin Feng.
Everyone also learned about Lin Jialu's situation.
"Let's hurry up and make the most of our time," Dong Ya said to the group.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, then took out her shield and slowly walked into the cave.
The further you go in, the more corpses you find.
The expressions on everyone's faces grew increasingly grim.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, it's easy to imagine that the Demon Race inside must be extremely bloodthirsty.
It's likely that the trapped General Rank Demon Hunt Squad is in grave danger.
After walking a few minutes further in, the situation inside the cave finally changed.
It is a relatively large chamber.
"How disgusting!"
Dong Ya looked at the sticky ground under her feet and said with some disgust.
Looking around, the ground was covered with a layer of sticky substance, greenish-blue mixed with blood, which looked extremely disgusting.
"This looks like the saliva of some kind of magical beast," Ming Qiu said, his brows furrowed.
Despite being mentally prepared, the sight before them still disgusted them.
"Saliva?" Dong Ya asked.
Ming Qiu nodded, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I've seen it in a book. It seems to be the saliva of a Spore Demon Parasite. Judging from the concentration of this saliva, it has probably reached the Seventh Rank."
No sooner had Ming Qiu finished speaking than an extremely piercing sound came from inside the cave.
"This little girl knows quite a lot, unlike those humans before, who died without ever knowing who I am."
Faced with this sudden sound, Dong Ya and the others became alert.
However, when the three of them heard that the Demon Hunt Squad team had died, their faces turned extremely grim.
This was the first mission the guild leader gave him, and he died before he even saw the person!
"What, do you look angry?" The parasite's hoarse voice rang out again.
In response to the parasite's question, Dong Ya said coldly, "You mean they're all dead?"
After a moment's hesitation, the parasite in the depths of darkness slowly said, "Hmm, there's no one there. There's another one, but it'll probably be eaten by that guy soon."
"But instead of worrying about him, you should worry about yourselves."
As the parasite's voice faded, a dense cacophony of sounds came from all directions.
Suddenly, the rotting flesh of the corpses began to wriggle, as if something was moving inside them.
The moment the parasite's voice fell in the darkness, the creature beneath the flesh crawled out, devouring the flesh.
They were densely packed, walnut-sized, spider-like creatures.
Within a few breaths, the caves had filled the area.
Like a tide, it surged towards the four people inside the cave.
Seeing this, the Signora also threw out several balls of flame. The moment the flames landed, several balls of flame shot into the sky.
The sizzling sound of burning continued incessantly.
At the same time, you can also smell a burnt smell.
Illuminated by the flames, everyone was able to see their surroundings more clearly.
Just seeing it for a moment gave me a chill down my spine. The entire cave was filled with spider-like creatures, so many of them that they surged toward us like a tide.
"How disgusting!" Lady Rosalyn exclaimed with disgust as she looked at the swarming spider creatures.
Suddenly, a fire wheel formed from Fire Element was flung out of her hand and circled around the crowd.
A wall of fire rose up, keeping the swarming creatures at bay.
The three of Dong Ya were also taken aback by Lady Rosalyn's sudden attack.
Because the Signora had stated from the beginning that she would not make a move, and she had been cold and aloof the whole way.
He seemed very difficult to get along with.
However, this is not the time to discuss this; rescuing the person is the most important thing right now.
Dong Ya took out her staff, which she hadn't used in a long time.
Instantly, Dark Element surrounded her.
After a brief chant, Dong Ya shouted coldly, " The End of the Sky Sonata!"
As Dong Ya finished speaking, the ground around her suddenly cracked open.
Large amounts of Dark Element surged from the cracks in the ground.
Under the corrosive influence of Dark Element, any spider-like creature that steps into the realm of the End of the Sky Sonata will die instantly.
"You're not lazy, unlike those humans before, who couldn't even resist my spores. But the more you resist, the more excited I get!"
Amid the parasite's slightly manic voice, the spores surged even more violently, rushing towards the group.
They surged wildly towards the crowd.
Even though the End of the Sky Sonata could instantly kill these spores, many still survived in the End of the Sky Sonata's domain, thanks to the cover of the corpses, in the face of the overwhelming tide of spores.
Dong Ya frowned slightly. She knew that once these spores got close, not only would they be unable to save anyone, but they would all perish here.
Dong Ya turned directly to the Signora and said, " Signora Highness, thank you for your trouble."
From the moment she entered, Dong Ya noticed that the Signora possessed two elemental powers: Fire Element and Ice Element.
With the Signora's abilities, burning these spores shouldn't be a problem at all.
Faced with Dong Ya's request, the Signora said nothing.
With the first step, the temperature inside the cave suddenly rose rapidly!
Dong Ya and the others were separated by an Ice Element Shield.
" Demon Race, I hate Demon Race the most."
The three were taken aback. Judging from the Signora's words, it seemed that she had been holding back for a long time.
The moment the Signora finished speaking, Signora entire body was engulfed in flames, which appeared in the middle of the cave like a lotus bud about to bloom.
The moment the Fire Lotus appeared, the temperature inside the cave rose sharply, and the surrounding solid rock began to melt. Suddenly, the entire cave turned into a fiery zone...
