Devil's Valley, Battle Against the Old Demons

However, just as Na'er saw herself as her savior and was racking her brains about how to protect Xiao Chen suddenly spoke up, his tone grave, reminding her, "Na'er, prepare for battle."

Startled by Xiao Chen's sudden reminder, Na'er was taken aback at first, then remembered what Xiao Chen had told her earlier—that there were indeed demons on this island.

Thinking of this, she wasn't nervous at all. Instead, she patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry! You won't need to lift a finger later, just leave it to me!"

Her words were spoken with conviction, as if she were ready to show off her skills and impress Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen didn't reply, he just glanced at her indifferently.

Then, without warning, the two vanished from the beach.

Devil's Island, in the middle of the valley, is a secluded spot.

Unlike the outer perimeter of Devil's Island, this valley is shrouded in mist, teeming with life. Lush green vegetation grows densely, and layers of branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if countless whispers are echoing in the shadows.

At that moment, the two old men were having a very interesting conversation.

The two elderly men, one standing and one sitting, exuded a solemn aura that had been refined over the years.

One of the figures was a frail old man, emaciated as a rake, with sunken eyes and a sinister smile on his face. He spoke slowly, his voice sharp and hoarse. "Annihilation, you've sensed it too, haven't you? A few more guests have arrived on the island."

"Looks like the academy hasn't forgotten about us old folks. They've sent us a few more toys."

Beside the frail old man stood another old man in a white robe. Hearing this, the old man chuckled, his tone laced with a playful composure. "After being called a devil by outsiders for so long, you've really come to think of yourself as one?"

"These are people sent by the academy, how can we treat them like toys? This is called training."

"Hmph, hypocrite!" The thin old man scoffed disdainfully upon hearing this, "From now on, don't call yourself the Ruin Old Demon anymore, just call yourself the 'Hypocritical Old Demon'!"

"Hahaha--" The old man in white robes laughed loudly, his tone tinged with smugness. "You can't beat me anyway, so whatever I say goes, it's none of your business."

"I can't be bothered with you!" The thin old man curled his lip, but a hint of eager excitement flashed in his eyes. "I finally got some little toys, I don't have time to deal with you, you old devil!"

"Heh!" The Ruin Old Demon chuckled coldly, not to be outdone. "I don't even want to talk to you. No one has been to Devil's Island for hundreds of years. This time, we can't let them go so easily."

As he spoke, a sinister glint of calculation flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "How can we keep them on the verge of collapse, yet somehow prevent them from actually breaking down?"

"Hmm—that's a very interesting proposition." The Ruin Old Demon stroked his beard, a dangerous smile appearing on his face. "I'm rusty; I need to practice."

However, at that moment, two figures suddenly appeared behind the two old demons.

It was Xiao Chen and Na'er.

Upon arriving at Devil's Valley, Na'er excitedly looked around and was delighted to discover that the Life here far surpassed that of the beaches surrounding Devil's Island.

A rich Life flowed through the air, as if this valley and the desolate, lifeless Black Island outside were two completely different worlds.

That's great! Finally, I don't have to worry about her brother's safety anymore!

"Wow!" Na'er couldn't help but exclaim, "The Life force here is so abundant!"

She looked around, then asked curiously, "Is what you're looking for here?"

"That's right." Xiao Chen nodded calmly. "However, before that, we need to deal with a few minor issues."

Upon hearing the voice behind them, the Nightmare Old Demon and the Ruin Old Demon did not ponder its content. Instead, they instinctively turned around to investigate the commotion behind them.

Upon realizing that the visitors were just a young man and a young woman, the two were immediately filled with doubt.

Shrek Academy only sent two people?

Is there only two members of this generation of Shrek Seven Monsters?

However, although the quantity of toys has decreased, the quality is likely to be much better, allowing for a long period of enjoyment.

Upon thinking of this, the Ruin Old Demon chuckled and spoke, his tone carrying a hint of condescension. "Are you little brats the Shrek Seven Monsters of this generation?"

Xiao Chen spoke calmly, his tone utterly flat and devoid of any emotion. "No."

"Hmm?" The Ruin Old Demon was slightly taken aback. "Not really? Then you're from Shrek?"

Xiao Chen remained concise. "No."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of both the Ruin Old Demon and the Nightmare Old Demon immediately darkened.

How dare someone who isn't from Shrek trespass into Shrek's training grounds?

It seems we need to teach these two a lesson and make them regret coming here!

Nightmare Old Demon immediately stood up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, his voice carrying a chilling pressure as he roared, "Then who are you?!"

"Are you old devils suffering from dementia?" Xiao Chen looked at the two expressionlessly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery. "Think carefully again, what were the troubles I was about to solve?"

Upon hearing this, Nightmare Old Demon and Ruin Old Demon were slightly taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, their expressions changed drastically!

The arrogant couple in front of them were clearly after them!

The next second, the Nightmare Old Demon suddenly erupted!

With a thought, he swung his right hand out a Black Blade formed from Soul Power and mixed with neurotoxins, carrying a chilling killing intent, and fiercely attacked Xiao Chen and Na'er!

The Black Blade pierced through the air with astonishing speed, carrying a sinister aura capable of numbing the soul.

However, Xiao Chen didn't even glance at it.

Attacks of this level are simply beneath his notice.

However, before he could make a move, Na'er had already acted.

With a soft sound, Na'er raised her hand and a long spear, entirely silver-white and radiating a chilling divine light, suddenly appeared in her palm— the Silver Dragon Spear!

With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed a shot that precisely and swiftly deflected the oncoming Black Blade!

"Puff--"

The Black Blade, infused with neurotoxins, was shattered instantly by the Silver Dragon Spear's tip, like paper, turning into specks of black mist that dissipated into the air.

Nightmare Old Demon's pupils contracted, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

This young girl, so young, was able to casually shatter his attack with a single shot; her strength is not to be underestimated.

"Interesting." The Ruin Old Demon narrowed his eyes with interest, sizing up Na'er who stood holding a gun. "You little girl, you're much stronger than the last batch of trainees."

"Hmph, so what if you're strong?" Nightmare Old Demon sneered, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes. "Since you dared to trespass into this Devil's Island, don't even think about leaving alive!"

After saying that, his Soul Power surged again, and dense dark Soul Power gathered around him, as if he was about to unleash a second attack at any moment.

Na'er stood holding a gun, her figure accentuated by the silvery gleam of the weapon, exuding a commanding presence.

She gripped the Silver Dragon Spear, its tip slightly angled towards the ground. Her Soul Power surged subtly around her, and her eyes were fixed on the two old men opposite her, filled with eager fighting spirit.

These two old bastards actually dared to lay a hand on them! Let them taste the power of the Silver Dragon Spear!

She turned around, nodded at Xiao Chen, and said with a hint of playfulness and confidence, "Brother, go find your things."

"These old things can be left to Na'er!"
