Hence, Angelano could be described as having an easy time dealing with the first few battles. However, when the Hellish Python appeared, Angelano could no longer maintain his composure, as it might have confirmed Connoris' words.
The 100-meter-long Hell Python was about 20 to 30 meters tall when it stood up. However, there was still a gap between it and the Alchemy Colossus of the Titan Colossus. Angelano dodged the venom of the Hell Python, and smashed the giant spear in his hand towards the head of the Hell Python. However, the Hell Python could even dodge the attack of the Shadow Assassin, so how could it be hit by the giant spear? Its huge body dodged the giant spear nimbly, and it bit the Alchemy Colossus with its bloody mouth.
In fact, the Hell Python might not be able to leave a bite mark on the Alchemy Colossus, no matter how sharp its teeth were. However, Angelano was also frightened to the point of panic. He let go of the giant spear, and grabbed the neck of the Hell Python with both hands. Then, he roared crazily as he flung the Hell Python's body in the air, and smashed it in the surroundings.
Lin Li secretly rejoiced at the sight of the Alchemy Colossus that Angelano was controlling. Fortunately, he had kept a sufficient distance from Angelano from the start. Otherwise, the cowardly Goblin's whacking of the Hell Python's body would inevitably hurt him. No one would be able to withstand the impact of the 100-meter-long object.
Indeed, after Angelano smashed the Hell Python in the surroundings, he suddenly felt the weight in his hand disappear, and there was only a disgusting head left. Looking around the Alchemy Colossus, there were countless corpses of Zago Demons. None of them were complete, and the ground was filled with pieces of flesh and blood.
After going crazy for a while, the fear in Angelano's heart subsided a little. He controlled the Alchemy Colossus to pick up the giant spear on the ground, and swung it in a circle to fight the Zago Demons that pounced on him again. The Alchemy Array on the body of the Alchemy Colossus continuously flickered, and shot a beam of light forward from time to time, creating a long gap in the Black Current.
The appearance of the Hell Python made everyone feel pressured, and they truly experienced the horror of the 72nd floor of the abyss. The three Legendary powerhouses, Andoine, Aldwin, and Rosen, would not be at a disadvantage when facing the Hell Python with their powerful Magical Domains.
However, the pressure on the mages led by Macklin had increased significantly. With the help of the Commander's Badge, the 150-odd mages cooperated as if they were a single person, and there was almost no difficulty in casting Legendary-level magic together. However, this was a team of more than 100 people. They had the largest contact area with the Black Tide, so naturally, they had to endure the most attacks. They even had to endure the attacks of several 100-meter long Hell Pythons at the same time.
Fortunately, Andoine and Aldwin also saw the predicament of the mages. The two of them maintained their respective Magical Domains, and gradually moved closer to the two sides of the mages, sandwiching them in the middle. This way, the two Legendary-mages would be able to help deal with the enemies on both sides of the Qi Ma Team. Macklin hurriedly took the opportunity to readjust the formation of the mages. Only then was the crisis averted.
The number of Hell Pythons that appeared gradually increased, and the pressure on the mages also increased. From the beginning, Rosen had been standing behind the front line formed by Andoine, Aldwin, and the mages. Initially, it had been relatively easy for him to deal with the situation. After all, Andoine and the rest had borne a lot of pressure for him. However, for some reason, the Zago Demons seemed to know some tactics. While maintaining the intensity of the attack on Andoine and the rest, they actually separated a few Hell Pythons and led a large number of Sickle Black-armored Demons to bypass Andoine and the rest, and outflank Rosen.
This time, it was Rosen's turn to suffer. Putting aside the Sickle Black-armored Demons, each of the Hell Pythons had Legendary-level strength. Even a level-23 Legendary-mage like Rosen had to exert all his power under the siege of several Legendary-level Hell Pythons. The power of the Elemental Domain was stimulated to the extreme, and the magic storm formed by various magic elements filled the entire domain. Unfortunately, because Rosen was too greedy in terms of the Magical Domain, the magic elements in the magic storm were not of a high level. Hence, it was difficult for the Hell Pythons that had high resistance to magic to cause any fatal damage in a short period of time.
What made Rosen even more shocked was that when he was dealing with the Hell Pythons with all his might, a few huge figures flew over from the sky in the distance. Each of them was emitting a strong magical wave of level-21 and level-22.
"That idiot is in for a big loss because of his greed. Those demons that are flying over must be the Scourged Ankylodons that Connoris mentioned," Angelano said to Lin Li through his mental strength. At the same time, he controlled the Alchemy Colossus to pluck the head of a Hell Python off.
The status of the Scourged Ankylodons among the Zago Demons was much higher than that of the Hell Pythons. Of course, their abilities were also correspondingly stronger. Although they were called dragons, the Scourged Ankylodons did not have much to do with dragons. They were about the same size as wyrms, and only their outer appearance was similar to that of wyrms.
What supported the flight of the Scourged Ankylodons was not the wings of wyrms, nor the wings of birds. Instead, it was the membranous wings of insects. The six pairs of black membranous wings that were vibrating at high speeds looked almost transparent, as though they were as fragile as the membranous wings of insects. However, the natural demonic runes on the membranous wings allowed them to cut through steel. It was one of the strongest weapons of the Scourged Ankylodons.
The huge mouth on the head of the Scourged Ankylodons was like a huge iron pincer. Even a wyrm with strong defense would be bitten through in one bite. Its flat neck was like two tower shields that were clasped together. Its surface was covered with dense spikes that were filled with green poison. The body of the Scourged Ankylodons was not covered with scales like those of the wyrms. Instead, it was covered with a hard shell that was unique to the Zago Demons. It even had the ability to reflect magic. It had six thick sickle legs, two at the front and four at the back. At the tip of its forelimbs was an even larger sawtooth sickle that could easily slice apart a wyrm's body.
The abilities of the Scourged Ankylodons were at least at the Legendary-level, and the stronger ones could even reach the peak of the Legendary-level. According to Connoris, there were even Sanctuary-realm Scourged Ankylodons that appeared during the prehistoric times. They were even comparable to the ancient wyrms. In the past, Tyrant Balak's personal guards were completely made up of Scourged Ankylodons. It could be said that they had few opponents in the abyss, and they even almost made it to the 90th floor of the abyss. If Connoris had not schemed to incite a fight between Tyrant Balak and another powerful ancient deity, the owner of the 90th floor of the abyss would not have been him, but Balak.
"Who asked him to put himself in the position of leader? Does he really think that these Zago Demons are brainless? The battle wisdom of the Zago Lords is much stronger than the so-called military geniuses of the humans. How could they not know the strategy of killing the leader?" Connoris said in disdain.
The Zago Lord that Connoris mentioned was actually the dark clouds that covered the void. Although the Zago Lord did not have much attack power, its intelligence was definitely not inferior to that of the so-called intelligent races, especially when it came to war. It was much stronger than any military genius.
Ordinary demons, regardless of their numbers or individual strength, would charge in like a swarm of bees when they encountered a battle. Specifically, each individual was actually fighting for themselves. However, the Zago Demons were different. Under the command of the Zago Lord, the various Zago Demons did not form a herd, but a real army. It was precisely because of the existence of the Zago Lord that the Zago Demons could truly be called one of the most powerful demons in the abyss.
The Zago Demons had the Zago Lord with unparalleled intelligence, as well as the Scourged Ankylodons whose individual strength was comparable to that of wyrms. There were also the cannon fodder Sickle Black-armored Demons that reproduced extremely quickly, had extremely strong combat power, and were not afraid of death. If not for the fact that they could not leave the abyss and would die immediately after leaving the abyss, they would have long been the owners of Anril.
Of course, although the Zago Lord focused on Rosen, who seemed to be the leader, it did not relax its pressure on Lin Li and the rest. Soon, a few more Scourged Ankylodons flew towards Lin Li and the rest. At the end of their line of sight, a few humongous figures appeared in the endless Black Current and were charging towards them at high speed.
Lin Li's face immediately turned pale as he looked at the figures that were moving like a small mountain. Connoris and Angelano's exclamation rang in his mind.
"Mammoth Behemoth, it's actually a Mammoth Behemoth!" Connoris' voice was filled with uncontrollable fear.
Angelano, on the other hand, was so shocked that he was at a loss for what to do. He even let a Hell Python wrap itself around the leg of the Alchemy Colossus, and only managed to pull it down after a flurry.
"So what if it's a Mammoth Behemoth? Don't forget, Tyrant Balak has not appeared yet. When he appears, I'm afraid it will be our end." Lin Li gritted his teeth as he looked into the distance at the crystal coffin that was floating in mid-air. It was especially eye-catching against the endless Black Current.
"Do we still have to wait for him to appear? Even if he doesn't appear, we won't be able to get through this. That bastard Osric, why didn't he just find a place to bury himself? Why did he have to bury himself in this godforsaken place? No wonder he died so early!" Angelano shouted in exasperation as he swept the Sickle Black-armored Demons that were charging towards him into pieces with his giant spear.
"Felic, I can't help you with anything anyway. Why don't you just let me go back?" the Fire Demon King suddenly said timidly.
"Shut the f * ck up!" Lin Li, Connoris, and Angelano shouted at the Fire Demon King in unison.
At this time, the Scourged Ankylodons had already started attacking them, showing the terrifying strength of the bodyguards of Tyrant Balak. In Andoine's Thorns Domain, the vines that were stronger than steel were as weak as noodles in front of the Scourged Ankylodons. The rain of fire from Aldwin's Skyfire Domain hit the bodies of the Scourged Ankylodons, but they were all deflected. There was not even a trace of fire left on the smooth shell.
Macklin commanded the mages to hold on, but the moment the two Scourged Ankylodons charged at them, the mages started to suffer casualties. Although the seven mages at the periphery had the protection of the Elemental Shield, they were still sliced in half by the giant scythe.
On Lin Li's side, Demon Gordon, who had fused various rare magical metals, could not withstand a single blow from the Scourged Ankylodons even though he had turned his defense to its strongest state. The Crimson Humerus Dragon went forward to fight with the Scourged Ankylodons, but its powerful defense was completely useless against the Scourged Ankylodons. Even its tail was sliced off by the transparent membrane of the Scourged Ankylodons.
The Hell Python controlled by the Lord of Nightmares spat venomous liquid at the Scourged Ankylodons in the sky. However, the venom that could corrode anything could not leave a mark on the shell of the Scourged Ankylodons. More than 10 Angels of Light and Dark rushed forward, and a violent explosion engulfed the Scourged Ankylodons. However, when the light and darkness faded, the Scourged Ankylodons' bodies were revealed.
"Connoris, aren't you a demon god who knows how to scheme? Think of something, or we will be dead before Balak appears!" Lin Li used all his strength to condense a Light and Darkness Sword, and finally managed to kill one of the Scourged Ankylodons. However, in the blink of an eye, another two charged into the Light and Darkness Domain.
"What … What can I do? Even when I was a demon god, I could not do anything to that barbaric Balak. That bastard, why did he choose this place? Isn't he afraid that Balak will break his bones!? " Connoris' voice was filled with anxiety. The only thing he could do was to curse. In the face of absolute power, all schemes were useless.
In the distance, a few Ultralisks were like moving hills, rushing over with large strides. Everyone knew that even without Balak's appearance, the expedition team would be annihilated with just the Scourged Ankylodons and the Mammoth Behemoths.
"Wait, you seem to have said something important." Hearing Connoris' useless curses, Lin Li suddenly raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "What did you say just now? Isn't Balak afraid that Balak will break his bones by leaving his corpse here? Do you think that Balak is a demon god who knows how to respect the remains of others? "
"What does he know? If I were here, I would not have let go of that crystal coffin either!" Connoris cursed, but he seemed to have thought of something after Lin Li's reminder. He immediately calmed himself down, and said thoughtfully, "Yeah, if Balak was here, he wouldn't have allowed the crystal coffin to be preserved for so long. Unless he's already gone? No, I know how strong Balak is. In the Endless Abyss, no one can do anything to him unless it's someone like the Dragon Aspect. "
