Here, the Mist Grass is no longer just as tall as a person. It reaches two or three ters, even three or four ters high, making it difficult for the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon to determine Fang Yu's direction, even when standing upright.
However, when the other troops gather together, they make noise, making it hard to avoid the pursuit of the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon.
But just as the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon was about to turn back to chase the others, it suddenly seed to sense sothing. Its two arms suddenly reached down fiercely toward the ground.
"Roar!!!"
The next mont, a roar erupted, shaking the ground around violently.
What the hell is that!?
Another expert?!
Fang Yu turned back to look, only to see the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon going crazy in place, without knowing what it was doing.
This provided Fang Yu and the others a chance to escape. Fang Yu quickly signaled to the people around, urging them to gather.
Ling Huxiang was already not far away, the first to ride over, with the other team mbers closely following behind.
The black horse she was riding seed to be of much better quality than his own, its skin thick and tough, only showing deep white marks without breaking the skin.
Of course, it might also be because she hadn't pushed the black horse beneath her to its limits; otherwise, at full speed, crashing through the grass, it would tear the skin in no ti.
"There's a Great Demon! Another Great Demon! They seem to have a territorial conflict! They're fighting for territory now!" Ling Huxiang pointed in the direction of the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon behind.
Territory?
Fang Yu didn't believe it.
The Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon ca from that Foolish Underworld, what territory would it have!
But Fang Yu also didn't understand what madness the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon had to suddenly clash with another Great Demon.
However, when Fang Yu looked back one last ti, seeing the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon swallowing a large red tentacle in one gulp, his expression changed drastically.
Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon: 57586/58143.
The health bar... increased?
Even though it didn't increase much, it indeed increased!
Can demons actually eat other demons to gain strength???
Fang Yu had never heard of such a thing!
Weren't demons supposed to gain strength by eating humans?
Could it be demons can actually be self-sufficient?
And for a fifty thousand health demon, its strength increases just like that?
Fang Yu felt sothing was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what.
But the imdiate priority was to get as far away from the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon as possible, taking advantage of its fight with other demons to flee quickly.
This creature is a monster, a crushing presence against the entire team!
Fang Yu rembered vividly, one of the captains, Quan Xianxue, was instantly killed by the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon, and he was there at the scene!
Although Fang Yu's power had skyrocketed now, he didn't dare boast about confronting a captain-level expert, let alone one who could instant-kill captains like the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon.
The group fled in panic, and the sounds from behind gradually faded, transforming into the various chirps of insects.
The grass, standing three to four ters tall, blocked out most of the sunlight overhead but was still much brighter compared to the pitch-black night.
Thud!
Suddenly, from behind, soone in the team stumbled to the ground.
Fang Yu glanced back, instinctively pulling the reins to stop the horse, and shouted.
"Stop!"
The people behind also stopped imdiately, granting a mont of respite.
However, just then, Ling Huxiang shouted in a low voice.
"Everyone, follow orders and move forward! No one is allowed to stop!"
Fang Yu was stunned, then imdiately understood Ling Huxiang's intention.
This wasn't an official road or a safe town; this was the wilderness! A dangerous place filled with peril!
With a terrifying Great Demon in pursuit, it was a race against ti to escape. Any delay could lead to the annihilation of the entire team.
And Ling Huxiang's ssage was clear: sacrifice the fallen teammate to ensure the safety of the others.
To be honest, Fang Yu didn't know what to do.
He looked back at his team mbers.
The teammates who followed him all had tattered clothes, with long, varying depth cuts on their bodies.
All were slashed by the sharp leaves of the Mist Grass during the rushed march.
As for their horses, only a few people were still riding, while the rest had horses that couldn't endure. They lost control early in the sprint, forcing them to abandon their horses and run alone.
Everyone was taking advantage of this brief rest period, breathing heavily, regaining strength, and their eyes collectively turned to Fang Yu and Ling Huxiang. It was evident that they needed a clear command.
The conflicting orders from the two captains of the sa rank left them uncertain of what to do at the mont.
Among the crowd, there was one person who was lying on the ground.
Fang Yu glanced at the health bar.
[Jun Junjia: 1137/1255]
Strange.
This person's health is pretty good, so why did he collapse?
"It's the Mist Grass poison accumulating to a certain level. Throw him onto the horse's back, we continue to run!"
Ling Huxiang also figured out the situation, and upon realizing that the situation wasn't as urgent, imdiately chose a compromise thod.
Only then did Fang Yu notice that Jun Junjia had many wounds on his body, perhaps in the rush he didn't pay attention to the blocking weeds, resulting in severe scratches.
Such scratches are nothing for soone focused on escaping.
But Mist Grass is poisonous. Although Ling Huxiang said the poison isn't severe, negligible amounts eventually overwheld Jun Junjia.
Understanding the situation, everyone's heart grew a little more wary, silently ingesting their own detoxification dicine to suppress the poison.
Jun Junjia was thrown onto the horse's back, and the group started running forward again.
No one knew whether the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon was chasing them, but everyone was very clear in their heart that if caught by the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon, death was the only outco.
Fang Yu rode at the front, his brain pondering a question, a question he had just ignored due to being occupied fleeing.
How did the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon appear here?
Yes, the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon is a subordinate of the Demon Leader from Tianyuan Town. How could it have been thrown into this wilderness?
There is a problem... sothing has been overlooked by .
Fang Yu vaguely feels he's grasped sothing, the appearance of the Eight-Ard Nine-Soldier Demon in this place gives him a strong sense of discord, but just as he's about to figure out sothing...
Whoosh!
A sudden feeling of weightlessness appeared, his whole body was thrown off the horse, landing heavily on so Mist Grass, he hurriedly got up.
"Diao Deyi?"
This was the first ti Ling Huxiang called Fang Yu's na directly, but Fang Yu only shook his head and looked at his mount, the big red horse.
Could it be that this big red horse couldn't withstand the poison erosion?
Then Fang Yu saw the big red horse with its two front hooves 'half kneeling' on the ground, from where blood was slowly oozing.
Before Fang Yu could understand what was happening...
Thud!
The entire big red horse was pulled under the surface! Leaving behind a dark hole!
The hole was deep, emitting anxious cries from the big red horse, accompanied by a certain kind of cave echo, getting deeper underground, farther from Fang Yu and the others.
"Alert!!"
"A demon!!"
"It caught up?!"
That's when Fang Yu realized, it was so kind of underground-moving demon, digging a hole and dragging his mount down to eat!
Damnit! Even dared to eat my treasured horse??
Fang Yu's instincts made him want to kill the underground demon, but without seeing a health bar, he felt hesitant.
The unknown is what's most terrifying.
Not knowing the opponent's strength tier made Fang Yu hesitate in acting!
"The demon attacks from underground, focus on the surface! Any movent on the surface, attack imdiately!"
Ling Huxiang shouted, commanding the group.
Only then did Fang Yu realize belatedly, wanting to slap himself, needing his command, he was lost in thought.
There was nothing Fang Yu could do, he always decides his action strategy based on the enemy's health bar, and when the enemy's health bar is in Xue Ding'e's uncertainty state, he doesn't know whether to fight or flee, let alone direct others what to do.
By now, other team mbers had also gathered information, each started to exert their role.
"Can't see it! Captain Linghu! The light is insufficient, we can't see the subtle changes on the ground!"
"Cut the grass! If we're going to battle the underground demon, we need to imdiately cut all the surrounding Mist Grass! Clear an open area! Captain Linghu, request to cut the grass!"
"Everybody mute! I'm lying on the ground listening! All stay quiet, so I can hear the movents underground!"
Indeed, this is a skilled team, strengthened through battling the Foolish Underworld, showing each one's capability when faced with sudden situations.
