"You guys are already here."
Dongfang He sat on his golden griffin with a broad back and said in a disdainful tone. Obviously, he was the last to arrive, but it gave people the illusion that the male protagonist would always appear at the end of the movie.
Jia Yuntian did not speak. Dongfang He's domineering aura did not cause even the slightest fluctuation to appear on his indifferent face. His unapproachable eyes were clearly saying, "If you want to come, then come. If you don't want to come, then leave. It has nothing to do with me."
With the temperament of a lady from a noble family, Nicai smiled very considerately. "I don't care how you fight normally, but it's different today. I feel that a big guy is coming. We should work together to solve the current problem first."
"According to the attributes of the three of us, the most reasonable strategy is for Dongfang He to take the lead, I will assist you, and Yuntian will retreat and deal a fatal blow at any time."
"It's very reasonable. I agree." Dongfang He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a sense of determination in his eyes.
Nicai's beautiful eyes turned and stared at Dongfang He. "If Yuntian deals a fatal blow, you won't be able to show off. At that time, the City Lord will give Yuntian the credit of killing a fatal blow. Don't you care about that?"
Dongfang He shook his head. "Nicai, you underestimate me too much. The real strong will never lie on the book of merit, and they don't need records like killing a fatal blow to prove themselves. Because the strong never need to prove themselves."
"Well said." Nicai covered her mouth and chuckled.
At this time, Jia Yuntian raised his dead fish eyes and said, "You don't have to make yourself sound so great and righteous. Most of the time, the more you try to prove something, the more it proves that you care about something. That guy is coming soon. I'm behind you."
Xia Fan saw Dongfang He's eyes twitch slightly. Obviously, Jia Yuntian had seen through his thoughts. The so-called 'the strong don't need to prove themselves' was just Dongfang He's way of comforting himself. If the strong didn't prove themselves, who would know that they were strong?
"You don't say, these three people are indeed a bit interesting."
Fo You shook his head and said. In just a few words, the characters of the three people were vividly displayed. Nicai was an intellectual woman who had insight into the affairs of the world, Dongfang He was a natural king who was unwilling to be outdone by others, and Jia Yuntian was a knife hidden in the dark, very low-key and very sharp.
"Now that the three heroes of Hidden Demon City are here, there's nothing for us to do. Who wants to eat potato chips? It's chicken flavored, "Jiang Zhibei leaned back and took out half a bag of potato chips lazily.
.....
At the top of the tower in the center of Hidden Demon City, the crystal ball had long since been lit up. An old and withered hand rested on both sides of the crystal ball. The owner of this pair of clearly marked hands belonged to one of the thirteen City Lords of Hidden Demon City, Leng Jinqiu.
Leng Jinqiu was probably the one who showed his face the least out of all the City Lords, because his ability was Insight. He lived on top of the tower all year round, using the crystal that very few people could understand to measure the ups and downs of the continent, predicting whether the Demon Race would invade or not.
In general, Leng Jinqiu was like a lookout with a telescope, but because of the existence of a cheat like the crystal ball, he could see further and more accurately than other lookouts.
"As it turns out, an outstanding warrior's ability to predict is equally astonishing. Nicai and the other two have already reached the path of that thing. They should be able to encounter it in a few minutes. Their choice of sniping point is really not bad." Leng Jinqiu said with a smile, as if he was full of expectations for the rapidly rising young people in the city.
"In that case, the Defense Corps doesn't have to be dispatched, right?"
"I don't think so. The distance is quite far. By the time the Defense Corps arrives, the battle will probably be over. But to be on the safe side, let them continue to stand by."
"Understood, City Lord. What is that thing you are talking about?"
Leng Jinqiu put his hands down from the crystal ball and frowned while stroking his beard. "It's hard to say. Maybe it's a passing general-level magical beast. I can't see its existence clearly with the crystal ball, so its level is certainly not low."
"But you don't have to worry too much. After all, we are on the first floor of the lower realm, and the really powerful big guys are on the second floor. Unless a war breaks out, there should not be a magical beast above the quasi-king level suddenly running to our first floor. There are very few such cases in history. After all, even if the Demon Race wants to launch an attack, they should start from the second floor. There is no reason for them to break into our place."
Hidden Demon City had countless eras of experience in fighting against the Demon Race, and this experience was often very accurate and valuable, so although Leng Jinqiu could not see what the long-range magical beast was, he was not worried. Jia Yuntian and the others were the best young geniuses of Hidden Demon City in decades, and should be able to deal with it.
Suddenly ~
The crystal ball vibrated violently from the inside out, as if there was some kind of power resonating with the crystal ball. With a loud crack, the surface of the crystal ball suddenly cracked open, as if it was glass that had been shattered from the inside. Cracks appeared one after another, deepened, and finally completely shattered, turning into a pile of powder that floated in the air.
"Oh my God!"
The people on the tower were stunned. Their faces were pale, beads of sweat suddenly gushed from their temples, and their lips turned blue. They trembled violently, unable to make a sound for a long time.
The crystal ball was a sensitive energy insight, and the more intense the reaction, the more powerful the strength of the intruder.
And a crystal ball that directly shattered into pieces undoubtedly represented the highest level of threat to Hidden Demon City. There were only two kinds of things that could bring such a huge threat: either the Demon Race's army was approaching, or a powerful Demon King level creature was approaching the city.
"Quick, sound the alarm!"
Leng Jinqiu shouted, and a well-trained soldier, after receiving the order, immediately raised his iron fist. He did not press the button, but used all his strength to smash the huge red button on the wall, shattering the outer protective glass of the button and activating the highest level of alarm in Hidden Demon City.
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
At this moment, the energy wave protecting the city from external forces suddenly increased from one layer to a whole five layers! Layers of light barriers, like crystal ramparts, completely sealed off the entire city.
At the same time, all the alarm generators in the city were turned on at the same time, and the harsh noise rushed to the sky.
"Level five alarm, this is a level five alarm!"
A soldier was entangled with a new girl he met in the bar last night. The two bodies were entangled in the surging waves, heading straight to the end that could send them to bliss.
Seeing that the bliss was right in front of them, with only one last sprint, they could both reach the boundary and have an ecstatic and wonderful experience.
At this time, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded, and the man jumped up from his soft, snake-like body. His expression changed drastically as he looked out the window and saw that the outer wall of the city was raising the fifth layer of protection, and the pedestrians on the street were running out like crazy, with husbands holding their daughters and wives, rushing to the nearest underground shelter.
When the level five alarm sounded, all the buildings in the city were no longer safe. Over countless eras, the city had been destroyed and rebuilt countless times, leaving a painful lesson for the people. They must go to the shelter 150 meters underground in the shortest time possible, where there were steel beams and protective shells, enough food and medical supplies for the entire city to eat and drink for several months all year round.
"Go to the shelter immediately!" The man jumped up and shouted to the woman lying naked on the bed, her face pale.
He grabbed his combat suit and didn't even have time to put on his underwear. As he ran, he put on his pants. His appearance was a little funny, but at this moment, no one had the mind to care about the funny thing. A level five alarm was the sky. Living in this city, the soldiers who had seen countless wars and smoke, and witnessed countless blood and corpses, knew the meaning of this strong alarm all too well.
* Bang! *
The warrior knocked open the door of his girlfriend's house with his shoulder, putting on his combat suit as he rushed to his army's encampment barefoot. He had come out in such a hurry that he had forgotten to put on his combat boots, but at this moment, there were thousands of people and soldiers running barefoot like him on the street, and no one really cared whether he was wearing shoes or not.
In the sky, well-trained flying beasts had already spread their wings and taken off from the ground, letting out ear-shattering howls. Even they felt the impending danger, and their pupils dilated rapidly.
"Although the city's protective shield has been raised, the exam is still going on …" Leng Jinqiu said, holding her head, annoyed that she did not notice the danger earlier.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only hope that it's an invasion by the army," one of the soldiers sighed.
If it was an invasion by the demon army, there would be many low-level demons. Although there were many of them, it would not necessarily be fatal. The young Demon Slayers who were taking the exam outside the city would at least have a chance to escape. After all, although they were young, there was no lack of experts like the Three Demon Slayers.
However, if it was a demon that triggered a level 5 alarm, then the situation would undoubtedly become very serious. If it was a magical beast, then it would at least be a quasi king-level magical beast. If it was a demon warrior, then it would at least be a quasi king-level warrior.
The gap between experts and novices could not be filled by numbers. A true expert could take the head of a general among thousands of soldiers and horses. They could do it with ease, as if there was no one there. That kind of terror was far beyond the threat of thousands of soldiers and horses, and whoever encountered them would die.
.....
Dongfang He crossed his arms and stood at the front of the valley, holding his breath.
He was the kind of warrior who could sweep away thousands of soldiers. When he summoned the Raging Flame Army, the mountain rocks would turn into a flaming army. Dongfang He would even dare to besiege the main city of the demons.
Unfortunately, although the Raging Flame Army was mighty, it was a kind of battlefield control ability. This kind of ability was known as the cornerstone of war. It was very powerful, but not sharp.
Jia Yuntian's ability was completely different. His Heavenly Sword was more suitable for killing. If Jia Yuntian encountered a large group of enemies, he would be very miserable. Because the Heavenly Sword consumed a lot of energy, it could only kill one enemy at a time. If there were more, he could only watch helplessly. He was a character who specialized in completing the final blow.
Therefore, in the current situation, Dongfang He needed to control the strange thing running from afar, hold it down, and then let Jia Yuntian use the final blow. In any case, Dongfang He would do the work, and Jia Yuntian would reap the rewards.
As for Nicai, her ability was the Divine Wings, which was a kind of energy protection and energy illusion. If the Divine Wings were used on Dongfang He, it could help him defend. If it was released in large numbers, countless Phantom Wings would appear in the sky, interfering with the enemy's judgment.
Logically speaking, this kind of fighting style was also an old trick in the world of combat. Xia Fan and Fo You were similar. Every time, Fo You would be in front to attract the enemy's hatred and firepower, while Xia Fan would be in charge of surrounding and killing the enemy. The two of them worked very well together. They had been partners for a few years and had achieved a lot.
But the key was that Jia Yuntian and Dongfang He were rivals in love. They were far less considerate than Xia Fan and Fo You. They might not have the awareness to help their friends at critical moments.
"You guys underestimate Dongfang He too much." Jiang Zhibei seemed to admire the young master of the Dongfang family very much. He said in a very disdainful tone, "Even if they want to fight for Nicai, they will only fight in the open. Backstabbing is not the style of people who do great things. Don't worry, there will be no problem with the cooperation of these two rivals in love. The demon slayer family's sense of honor will not allow them to do anything dirty. Otherwise, they will be too ashamed to face others in the future."
Xia Fan's face turned red. Asking such a question would make him seem too petty. Perhaps it was because he had never experienced love, and he had read a lot of novels with the scholar grandfather. In his heart, he always felt that love was a scourge that destroyed the rationality of the soldiers time and time again, leaving behind melodramatic stories such as angry at the crown for the sake of a beauty.
In real life, people who valued love more than honor would not become big figures. Most of the strong were more rational. The so-called angry at the crown was more of a romantic imagination of the literati.
"It's coming!" Le Jiajia suddenly said. For some reason, she was very nervous today. Her left eyelid kept twitching. Compared to Fo You and Xia Fan who were calm, she was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow.
"Oh, what a big cloud of black fog. It looks like a pile of dung." Fo You looked at the far end of the valley and said casually. He had always been such a person. He had never known what it was to be nervous since he was a child. The more dangerous the situation, the more he liked to make sarcastic remarks.
In the distance, the black clouds were about to destroy, and the black fog swept across the land. It was rolling toward the valley with the momentum of Mount Tai. The three heroes of Hidden Demon City were already waiting at the bottom of the valley with solemn expressions.
Nicai summoned the divine wings in advance, which looked like a pair of huge pink wings. She gradually rose into the sky. Dongfang He still had his arms crossed, but his wrists were warming up. Jia Yuntian hid his hands behind his back and quietly made a seal.
Xia Fan felt that the three heroes of Hidden Demon City could give each of them a big thumbs up based on their calmness in the face of danger. They were indeed experts who had received elite training.
Boom!
All of a sudden, there was a violent explosion inside the rolling black fog. It was as if there was a kind of power gushing out, as fierce as a volcanic eruption. In an instant, the black fog was blown into the sky, covering the sky and making the sun and moon lose their light.
The beast hidden in the black fog had finally appeared. The black fog was only his disguise. It was precisely because of this disguise that the crystal ball had not been able to predict the danger in advance. The monster who had disguised himself was obviously very cunning. He had only revealed his true face at the last moment.
"It's this smell!"
