Chapter 1392 - Chapter 1392 Chapter 1255 The Path of Huangquan The Powerful

Chapter 1392: Chapter 1255: The Path of Huangquan: The Powerful Furious-Horned Demon Chapter 1392: Chapter 1255: The Path of Huangquan: The Powerful Furious-Horned Demon Fresh blood had already engulfed Huangquan Road, and the underground river channels formed by the waterfalls on both sides were now a striking blood-red!

In a short time, the Imperial Navy Legion had already lost a thousand men!

Among the navy ranks, Great Leader Xu Kuang, Leader Hai Que, Leader Tie Bing, Military Advisor Huang Meng, and the other three lower-ranking Hai Tongs now looked incredibly grave.

“This is still just the first guardian!” a lower-ranking Hai Tong said in astonishment.

A quarter of the Navy Corps had been killed horrifically, a loss entirely unexpected to each of the leaders. Against the attacks from The Other Side, the Imperial Navy forces could not withstand even a single blow!

“You three, take action,” Xu Kuang ordered, glancing at those three lower-ranking Hai Tongs.

The three Hai Tongs nodded and immediately began to chant the spells, each summoning a High-level Dominator.

After the three High-level Dominators joined the battle, the pace of the massacre by the demon spirits from The Other Side finally slowed.

Among the three High-level Dominators, one was of the Vine Family, whose restraining capabilities were even stronger than those of the Wood Type; the black figure of the creature from The Other Side retreated to the blood-drenched path, its icy green eyes emanating a calm yet ferocious glow.

It was only when the creature from The Other Side came to a halt that Chu Mu could finally see it clearly.

It was a Soul Pet completely black in color, resembling a sleek, well-proportioned Demon Wolf.

Its skull boasted a long, single horn, and its forehead was covered in blood-red demon patterns, wickedly captivating!

“Master Li, what creature is this?” Chu Mu had never seen a creature like this that resembled a wolf but sported a single horn.

“It should be a Furious-Horned Demon, a demon spirit race highly ranked in species!” Master Li responded.

“Furious-Horned Demons are known as blood lickers, creatures that revel in slaughter and blood drinking. The stronger the scent of carnage, the more their strength can increase. Those from the Navy Corps obviously don’t know this and even sent sailors to fight, which does nothing but enhance the Furious-Horned Demon’s ferocity, making it even harder to deal with,” Master Li continued.

As they spoke, the Furious-Horned Demon launched an attack again!

The Furious-Horned Demon was incredibly fast, a speed Chu Mu had only ever seen on Mo Ye.

A black figure sliced through the crimson underground river, tightly hugging the curved rock walls and ending up at the cave at the very top of Huangquan Road!

The Furious-Horned Demon firmly grasped the rocks at the top, its menacing blue eyes staring at the High-level Dominator, the Slaughter Demon Tiger!

“Swish!!!!!!!”

A cutting blade fell straight down from the top, and just as the Slaughter Demon Tiger began to dodge, a deep wound that reached its bones appeared on its back!

“Splash~~~~~~~~”

Blood gushed from the Slaughter Demon Tiger’s back!!

“Swish!!!!!!!”

Another cutting blade, and no one could see how the Furious-Horned Demon launched its second attack!

“Splash~~~~~~~~~”

A second bloody mark appeared on the Slaughter Demon Tiger’s back, and blood sprayed out again!

“Idiots, recall it now!” Leader Hai Que shouted at the lower-ranking Hai Tong beside her!

The Hai Tong finally reacted, hurrying to chant the spell and retracting the Slaughter Demon Tiger into the Soul Pet Space.

At that moment, the skills of the Vine Dominator arrived belatedly.

The Furious-Horned Demon, incredibly quick to react, didn’t even need to move as it bizarrely slid backward a great distance. The next second, a terrifying bombardment of skills from nearly a thousand Elemental Emperors fell upon the spot where the Furious-Horned Demon had just attacked the Slaughter Demon Tiger, continually covering the area!

The Furious-Horned Demon continued to slide backward, the elemental shockwaves hitting its body and causing fine wounds, but with its incredible speed, it managed to escape the myriad attacks from the Elemental Emperors, leaving it with only some minor injuries.

Chu Mu saw the whole battle process, the Furious-Horned Demon’s combat awareness was perhaps too sharp!

The intention of the Navy Corps had been very clear just now: deliberately using the Slaughter Demon Tiger to lure the Furious-Horned Demon into attacking, because only then could the Navy pinpoint the Furious-Horned Demon’s location.

The Furious-Horned Demon had indeed fallen for it, but from severely injuring the Slaughter Demon Tiger to dodging the Magic Vine and retreating from the Elemental Emperor’s mass attack, the Furious-Horned Demon did not pause once, its offense, evasion, and retreat flowing smoothly. This was undoubtedly related to the Furious-Horned Demon’s Peak Emperor strength, but even more so due to its keen battle sense!

Chu Mu, himself a battle fanatic, was well aware that such combat acuteness could only be developed through rigorous and repeated training; a Soul Pet like this could easily dominate an opponent of the same level.

As Chu Mu recognized this sharp battle sense of the Furious-Horned Demon, Great Leader Xu Kuang, Leader Hai Que, Leader Tie Bing, and Military Advisor Huang Meng also acknowledged it.

At that moment, the four in charge of the Third Navy Corps all widened their eyes in disbelief, watching the Furious-Horned Demon escape beyond the range of the elemental bombardment, and for a long time, they didn’t regain their composure.

“This… This strength from The Other Side is too terrifying!” Leader Tie Bing said, still in shock.

The morale of the Navy Corps had been severely suppressed. With such a vast legion and such intense attacks, they had only managed to inflict minor injuries after so long. Most importantly, their leader’s Slaughter Demon Tiger had been seriously injured and couldn’t participate in battle for some time.

“Stop panicking, maintain the formation for me!” Great Leader Xu Kuang bellowed, “Don’t act like women, if we die, we die; let’s wipe out the enemy before we mourn!”

Indeed, as a figure of authority in the Third Navy Corps, Xu Kuang’s roar invigorated all the sailors.

“Wait a moment to discuss your statement; I’ll handle it,” Leader Hai Que glanced at Great Leader Xu Kuang with a focused look.

“This isn’t your concern. We’re sustaining them every day, pouring in a great deal of money. If they can’t even handle the first guardian, it’s not a pity if they all die,” said Xu Kuang coldly.

Leader Hai Que opened her mouth to say something, but seeing Xu Kuang’s look, she ultimately closed it.

Behind this were three more guardians, certainly stronger than the Furious-Horned Demon. If they used all their strength now, Huangquan Road would truly become their road of the dead.

“Plant Team, forward; all Elemental Teams, release defense skills; Winged System, stay up high, don’t attack if it hasn’t left the ground…” Great Leader Xu Kuang took over Military Advisor Huang Meng’s role and started directing the Navy Corps.

After Xu Kuang changed the formation, all Plant System Soul Pets began launching unceasing attacks, creating restrictions everywhere, preventing the Furious-Horned Demon from moving freely.

With all Elemental Soul Pets switched to defense mode, the number of casualties significantly reduced. After three or four continuous attacks, the Demon only killed around three hundred Emperors.

“Just wear it down like this, don’t mind the deaths… huh, a bunch of useless things!” Xu Kuang cursed.

No matter how strong any Demon Spirit was, its group attack skills were very limited. Once the entire navy adopted a defensive stance and began fighting a war of attrition, the battle situation was kept from becoming one-sided.

“This navy leader does have some brains. Although this defense continues to incur losses, no single demon spirit can withstand such consumption,” Fox Elder murmured his assessment.

The Furious-Horned Demon continuously launched attacks, the navy’s fortifications proving exceptionally sturdy–each attack only taking the lives of a little over a hundred Emperors.

After ten consecutive attacks, the number of Emperor in the Navy had decreased to about 2500.

By this time, the wounds on the Furious-Horned Demon were accumulating, and various plant toxins and negative effects made its movements increasingly slow.

Gradually, the Furious-Horned Demon lost its previous vigor and became weakened.

“Good, attack now!” the Great Leader suddenly shouted.

The formation swiftly shifted, and in a flash, the Winged Soul Pets, previously only harassing, unleashed their skills on the body of the Furious-Horned Demon.

Defensive Elemental Soul Pets quickly recited spells, a barrage of colorful skills fell, causing the entire cavern to shake violently.

Skills densely covered the area. Beast Emperors roared as they lunged forward, with Plant Spirit Beasts setting up various restrictions!

The Navy’s offensive became fierce, the Furious-Horned Demon, already drained from significant energy, faced this sudden barrage of attacks and its steps finally became disordered!

“Whack!!”

The Demon King Vine visciously lashed at the Furious-Horned Demon, which let out a wail and heavily crashed into the stone wall, leaving a bloody imprint!

It had just slid down, the Elemental Soul Pets mercilessly struck, and the Furious-Horned Demon, bearing a body full of wounds, turned into a nearly nonexistent shadow and instantly disappeared from the spot.

“Boom boom boom boom~~~~~~~~~”

Elemental skills fell, blasting the rock wall into a pocked mess, and the skills continued relentlessly.

“Stop, can’t you see that thing has already fled!” Xu Kuang shouted again!

As the Soul Pets of the sailors gradually halted their skills, the smoke from the skills dispersed, the sailors realized that the demon had indeed vanished.

“Go collect your Soul Pets’ corpses. If you can’t retrieve them, bury them in the subterranean river nearby. Dying in this second Demon Tomb, they share the same level of honor as those Dominator-level demons on the island,” Xu Kuang ordered the sailors.

Not many sailors actually went to retrieve their Soul Pets’ corpses, on one hand because the corpses scattered everywhere were nearly impossible to retrieve, on the other because Xu Kuang was right–a death here was an honor.

After briefly regrouping, the military advisor had already tallied the losses and murmured to Great Leader Xu Kuang and the other two leaders, “This time, we lost 2479 Emperor Soul Pets, 39 below High Master Level lost their combat power, 7 dead, 1 High Master level seriously injured, 2 moderately injured. And 400 sailors died.”

The expressions of the two leaders were solemn, Hai Que whispered, “Just against the first guardian, we’ve already lost half our fighting power.”

Leader Tie Bing nodded and said, “And it was the weakest one.”

“We indeed underestimated their strength; it seems we need to call for reinforcements,” Great Leader Xu Kuang said.

All the leaders looked puzzledly at Great Leader Xu Kuang.

Only the Third Navy Corps had come here; what reinforcements could possibly arrive?

Great Leader Xu Kuang’s gaze shifted and sharply scrutinized the hiding spot of Chu Mu, Princess Jinrou, Chao Lengchuan, Xia Zhixian, and Sang Ying!
