Chapter 135

A black axe flashed.

The next second, a dark red arm holding a bone blade flew up and then fell into the lava pool below.

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible!"

Green blood gushed from the War Demon's severed arm, his eyes filled with intense disbelief. "You're just Dretch blood, how could you possibly hurt me?!"

It gritted its teeth, and the flesh at the severed arm writhed, as if a new arm was about to grow.

Just then, a large hand suddenly grabbed its neck.

"As the lord once said, true strength lies not in bloodline, but in one's character and integrity."

Hellscream intently at it, his body ablaze with dark flames. "Orcs Unyielding any power, not even their bloodline!"

With that, he and the war demon plunged violently into the lava below.

A few seconds later, the entire lava pool suddenly began to shake violently, as if a terrifying energy was about to erupt.

"Boom!!!"

A pillar of fire, hundreds of meters high, shot into the sky, even blasting a vacuum zone out of the boiling lava pool.

The terrifying commotion caused a brief pause on the battlefield.

When everyone turned around, they saw a tall figure standing in the center of the lava.

He held the Blackwater Battle Axe in his hand, and the bat wings on his back slowly retracted.

The war demon had vanished without a trace, clearly blasted into pieces.

[Ding! You have successfully defeated the Hellfire Demon (Boss One Star ★★), earning 200 points!]

Shen Xing stared blankly at the figure, his eyes filled with disbelief.

No way, brother! What happened to the promise that high-level hellish creatures would have an absolute suppressive effect on low-level bloodlines?

I don't see anything about him being suppressed.

Have you ever seen a Dretch withstand the oppressive aura of a war demon, sever its arm with a single axe stroke, and then drag it into lava to instantly kill it?

"Your rules of hell don't seem to apply to Brother Hellscream."

Shen Xing sighed softly, "Of course, it's also possible that Hellscream's stats are simply too high."

After all, he was an existence that had undergone multiple Life-Sacrifice Evolution, and he was also Boss Three Stars creature, whose agility had already exceeded eight hundred.

Even with his attributes significantly suppressed, he is still stronger than this War Demon.

At that moment, Shen Xing caught a glimpse of a faintly glowing corner at the bottom of the blasted-open lava field.

Although partially covered by lava, it appears to be a glowing doorway based on its outline.

"Good heavens, it's actually Hell Portal!" Shen Xing recognized the portal's origin and was slightly surprised.

The so-called Hell Portal, as the name suggests, is a passage to Hell.

Through this passage, large numbers of hellish creatures were able to reach the Land of Mist.

Moreover, he saw two blood-red eyes open on the portal, indicating that it was Two-Eyed Portal, capable of transporting only Tier Two hellish creatures at most.

Forcibly teleporting higher-ranking hellish creatures would cause the portal to burst.

"I see, no wonder so many hellish creatures keep pouring out."

"According to the forum, destroying these portals will yield a large amount of resources as a reward, including some surprises."

"However... it's leaderboard season now, so I'll still get points for killing these hellish creatures."

"So, can I temporarily leave it as a leveling spot and grind for a few days?"

Shen Xing's mind started racing.

Clearly, this is feasible.

If we leave it behind, we won't need to send out separate teams to explore; we can just lead our legion to grind monsters and earn a lot of points every day.

However, this also carries certain risks.

Because the Hell Portal remains open for an extended period, it will gradually increase in rank, evolving into Three Eyes or even four-eyed portal.

At that time, even more terrifying creatures will appear.

A monster of this caliber, if it were to appear even once, would be a catastrophic disaster for him and even for the lords in the vicinity.

Shen Xing hesitated, thought, and analyzed.

Finally, gritting his teeth and stamping his foot, he decided, "Let's do it."

"Anyway, Tier Two monsters don't pose much of a threat to me. Even a level 19 Boss Three Stars junior high peak expert, wouldn't be a match for me."

"If the portal shows signs of evolving, destroy it immediately."

Shen Xing quickly made up his mind to give him a good beating here.

But let's skip it today; the orcs have been fighting for hours and are in pretty bad shape.

So far, seven or eight orcs have been killed.

Although they were all level four or five cannon fodder, they were still trained by Shen Xing with considerable resources, and it was heartbreaking to see them like that.

"Everyone, prepare to retreat. Wolf cavalry, cover the rear!" Shen Xing quickly gave the order.

All the orcs immediately ceased fighting, formed a defensive formation, and retreated out of the cave.

Gorehowl led the wolf riders to intercept the pursuing hellish creatures.

Shen Xing controlled the Fried Chicken, quickly circling the battlefield, killing hordes of monsters and cleaning up the loot.

Then, following the troops, they exited the cave.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the passage without any major incident.

At this moment, nearly a hundred orcs stood still, radiating a powerful fighting spirit.

Although everyone was injured, to them it was a symbol of honor.

Shen Xing first took out 5 liters of Moon Well Water and distributed it to some of the more seriously injured orcs.

Then have Hellscream lead the troops back to the territory.

"Call..."

With a flap of its wings, the Fried Chicken carried Shen Xing swiftly into the sky, patrolling the vicinity and protecting the team's safety.

After a forty-minute journey, they arrived near the territory.

From afar, a large expanse of orange-yellow flames could be seen, illuminating clusters of buildings.

After a fierce battle, the orcs returned to their territory, where a wave of warmth washed over them, allowing them to relax.

At this moment, the Black Moon Knights had also finished their exploration and were patrolling along the edge of the city wall.

Upon seeing the returning orc legion, the knights rode up to greet them.

"Hellscream, have you encountered a formidable foe?"

A hoarse voice came from beneath the Xiao Hei mask, as he looked at the group of wounded orcs with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

As one of the few intelligent units in the territory, he knew very well how strong these orcs were.

Especially under the leadership of Hellscream and Gorehowl, the combat power of each orc will increase significantly.

Furthermore, with the added bond of a hundred-man legion, even his Black Moon Knights would have to temporarily concede to this army.

"Yes, we encountered many hellish creatures and lost quite a few brothers."

Hellscream's eyes were filled with shame and self-reproach. "If it weren't for the Lord's intervention, even more orcs would have perished."

"I'm still too weak, I..."

"Hellscream!" Shen Xing quickly interrupted, "Lead the orcs to rest, bandage the wounded, and help them recover their strength."

"Tomorrow, we'll get our revenge."

Upon hearing this, the orcs' eyes blazed with renewed fighting spirit, eager to charge back immediately.

Today's evacuation from that cave was tantamount to a defeat and a flight for them; each of them was seething with resentment.

But Shen Xing felt that these guys' understanding of defeat might not be the same as his own.

After all, hundreds of orcs managed to hold out for several hours against a relentless stream of hellish creatures, and even Execute so many enemies.

Hellscream also Execute several Transcendent Rank hellish creatures.

With such an impressive record, you say you've been defeated?

"My lord, these are the spoils dropped by those Tier Two monsters. Please take a look."

Hellscream recovered from his self-reproach and handed over a small package.

Chapter 106: The Demon Turret, A Mysterious Gift from the Officials

Shen Xing accepted the spoils of war handed over by Hellscream.

[Received: 3 Greater Soul Stone]

[Obtained: Demon Flame Turret Crafting Blueprint (Tier Two) *1]

[Obtained: Advanced Material - Demon Bone Blade]

[Obtained: Hellfire Seed *16]

[Received: 255 Hell Adamantite]

"Huh? There's a blueprint and an upgrade material!"

Shen Xing was overjoyed.

Killing these hellish creatures will not result in the loss of your soul, because they have long since lost their souls.

But the returns were still quite good.

In addition to the blueprints and materials, there are also 3 Greater Soul Stone, equivalent to 1500 Common Soul Stone.

"Including the five hundred or so Soul Stone I have, I've harvested over two thousand Soul Stone from that cave today."

"If we keep farming like this for a few days, the Soul Stone reserves in our territory will skyrocket, and we might even be able to raise a hundred-strong Dretch Legion."

Shen Xing thought expectantly, then took out a dark red parchment scroll from his backpack.

After unfolding it, I glanced at its attributes.

[Demon Flame Turret Crafting Blueprint]

[Order: Tier Two]

[Description: A turret from hell, capable of unleashing powerful fireballs that deal massive fire damage to enemies within an 8-meter radius, and can effectively kill Tier Two creatures.]
