It could be said that the profit from the previous battle had already exceeded the total profit of three months in the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Of course, this was under the premise that the Light Elemental Sprites were not counted.
The rest time was not long. Under Long Haochen's leadership, they once again set out. They had to leave the Narik Province first.
In the end, misfortune did not always accompany them. Following the guidance of the map, they tried their best to find the wilderness to move forward. When the sky brightened and the sun shone on the earth, they finally left the Narik Province.
And at this time, Long Haochen finally could not hold on any longer.
The huge battle had consumed too much of Long Haochen's body. It could be said that he was both mentally and physically exhausted. The injuries on his body were secondary. The key was that he had used the Sacrifice skill, which had overdrawn his spiritual power. Following this, they had to continue on their journey, not to mention that he was shouldering the responsibility of leading two teams. Lu Xi's healing could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. When they finally reached a relatively safe place, Long Haochen fell into Cai 'er's arms.
During the time that Long Haochen was unconscious, the two Monster Hunters had a careful discussion and decided to rest and recuperate on the spot.
Their location was a desolate hill. Ever since the Holy Demon Continent's vast land was occupied by the Demons, there were more and more barren lands. Without enough manpower to cultivate, weeds overgrew the originally fertile land.
Everyone found a low-lying area in the hilly area and temporarily set up camp. In order to not expose their identity as humans, they did not dare to set up camp. They could only find a relatively high place in the low-lying area and have a few close combat members dig a cave that could accommodate everyone to rest and recuperate.
The reason why the two Monster Hunters decided to stay and recuperate on the spot was very simple. They had reached a consensus that the team needed Long Haochen's command. Without him, the entire team would not be able to display their full strength. Rashly advancing would only produce the opposite of the desired result. It was better to rest and recuperate, allowing everyone to recover their physical condition after a bitter battle. At the same time, they could also cultivate and convert the potential that they had stimulated into strength.
This recuperation lasted for three whole days.
The hilly area they had chosen was indeed desolate. The weeds and shrubs on the ground were the best food for the Iron-maned Horses.
In truth, Long Haochen only needed one day to recover from the side effects of Sacrifice and the injuries on his body. But he still decided to stay for two more days.
Training after a great battle was the best opportunity for any profession to improve. Not only did they have to complete the Monster Hunters mission, but they also had to constantly improve their strength. There was no need to be overly hasty.
At the same time, Long Haochen discovered that after his internal spiritual energy exceeded 3000, his training speed had increased significantly. It wasn't only because of the Light Elemental Fairy Yating, but also because his own perception and attraction towards the light elements in the outside world were much stronger than before. Especially after this war. After three days, Long Haochen was surprised to find that his internal spiritual force had increased by more than a hundred points.
One had to know that what he was currently enhancing was purely liquid spiritual power. Such an enhancement speed could only be described as terrifying.
However, on the fourth day, the enhancement speed had obviously slowed down. It was obvious that the potential stimulated by the war had faded. But after careful calculations, Long Haochen found that if he were to fully focus on training, his internal spiritual force could still increase by more than 20 points per day.
20 points was already a rather terrifying number. Based on this cultivation speed, he would only need two months to break through to the rank 6 Radiance Knight.
Of course, Long Haochen didn't tell them about his changes. He didn't want to agitate his companions. However, he had already secretly decided that after completing this mission, he would return to the Holy City and go into seclusion for a period of time to strive to break through to the Radiance Knight. If his strength could increase to rank 6, he would be able to take on more difficult missions in the future.
The Iron-maned Horses set off again, heading straight for the depths of the Demons.
Although the straight-line distance from the Temple League border to their destination was only over 2,000 miles, how could they possibly travel in a straight line? After running for another seven days, they finally reached the vicinity of the Central Province of the Demons and were getting closer to their destination.
However, they had to reduce their speed because the closer they were to the Central Province, the more Demons they encountered. They could even see humans from time to time. Without exception, almost all humans were engaged in farming.
The Moon Devils' attire was extremely useful. No matter what race the Demons were, they would quickly avoid them when they saw them from afar. Unfortunately, after encountering the strange gazes for the first time, they had no choice but to give up on the suspicious Iron-maned Horses and walk instead.
Long Haochen issued a strict order that no one was to attack the Demons without his permission. Killing the Demons could increase merit points, but it also meant an increased risk of exposure.
Spreading out the map and carefully identifying the terrain, Long Haochen sometimes even had to borrow Han Yu's Evil Eye to fly into the sky to assist with reconnaissance. Or he would let Lin Xin's Rose Unicorn fly into the sky to observe the terrain. The reason why Lin Xin didn't help him every time was because the Rose Unicorn was too conspicuous.
They couldn't ask any Demons and could only rely on their own judgment of the terrain and direction, as well as the location of the Demons' city to determine their location. This was undoubtedly a difficult process.
The past ten days were like walking on thin ice. It could be said that it was even more difficult than the battle.
"If I'm not mistaken, we should be able to reach our destination after we cross over this mountain." Long Haochen took a deep breath. Even with his cultivation as an Earth Knight, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of exhaustion.
Lin Xin waved her arm forcefully. "Are we finally there? That's great. As long as we complete the exploration of the cave, our mission will be considered complete. "
Lin Xin said, "There's no time to lose. Why don't we rest near the Howling Fear Cave? Let's get there in one go. "
Long Haochen nodded slightly and said, "If everyone is fine, let's start climbing the mountain."
Just as they were about to move, suddenly, a group of people in the distance rushed in their direction. Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks. They didn't think that there would be any allies in the territory of the Demons.
Surprisingly, it was a group of cavalrymen, and every cavalryman was a three-meter-tall Great Demon. The Demon Race was the mainstay of the entire Demon Race. They weren't the most numerous race, nor were they the most powerful, but they were the most balanced race.
The Demons were second only to the Dual Bladed Demons in terms of numbers, but the Demons didn't only have Imps that could be used as cannon fodder. There were existences ranging from Imps to Demon Kings. The monarch of the Demons was the fourth-ranked Demon God of Death, Samikina.
Therefore, although the Demons were numerous, there were people of all levels ranging from low-level Imps to top-level Demon Gods. Their overall strength was quite strong, second only to the Demon Gods' Heaven-defying Demon Dragons. Even the first two Demon Gods were weaker than the Demons in terms of overall strength. The Demon God of Death, Samikina, was also known as the Demon Lord in his race. All the clansmen only listened to his orders.
The biggest characteristic of the Demons was evolution. They were the race best at evolution. Even the weakest Imp had the opportunity to advance to Demon King if he had enough opportunities.
The Demon Cavalry in front of them was composed of Grade 4 Great Demons. There were 50 of them, and their mounts were Nightmare Horses unique to the Demons.
The Nightmare Horses were pitch-black with dark red stripes on their bodies. They had two horns on their heads like the Demons, and their hooves were on fire. These Nightmare Beasts were rank 4 just like their master. It was said that the most powerful Nightmare Horses could advance to Grade 9. The Demon God of Death, Samikina, was riding a powerful Nightmare King.
The gazes of the Demon Hunters of the two Demon Hunt Squads simultaneously focused on Long Haochen. Twelve versus fifty, moreover fifty Great Demon Knights riding on Nightmare Mounts, they didn't have the slightest bit of certainty. Moreover, they were already deep in the Central Province of the Demons' territory. If they let even one enemy escape, they would be in big trouble.
Long Haochen gestured for his companions to calm down. He walked to the front, put his hands behind his back, and stared at the approaching Great Demon Cavalry with an arrogant expression.
Soon, the Great Demon Cavalry was close. The leader of the Great Demon Cavalry was exceptionally tall, and the Nightmare Horse he rode was much more majestic than the other Nightmare Horses. With a flash of fire, the Nightmare Horse stopped about 20 meters away from Long Haochen. The Great Demon on the horse dismounted and walked quickly toward Long Haochen.
This Great Demon had a pair of spiral horns, a pair of bat-like membranous wings, a majestic body, a pair of huge claws, a green face, and fangs. There was a strong stench on his body, and a faint green mist was emitting from his body.
Among the Demon Clan, Great Demons were the absolute force. They were best at close combat, but they were more afraid of magic. This was especially true for fire magic.
Being able to grow membranous wings meant that this Great Demon had reached Grade 6 and could fly. At this level, he could be called a Demon Commander.
"Enough, stop. Keep your dirty body away from us, "Long Haochen shouted coldly.
The Great Demon actually stopped in its tracks. However, it let out an angry roar. "Even if you are nobles of the Moon Demon Clan, you cannot insult me, the leader of the Demons. I need to know your title, Moon Demon."
High-level Demons could speak human language, and among them, the Moon Devils liked to speak human language the most. That was why Long Haochen was so generous to the Great Demon in front of him. But when the Great Demon spoke human language, it seemed a lot hoarse and jerky.
Long Haochen coldly snorted. With a shake of his wrist, a token suddenly flew towards the Great Demon.
The Demon Commander's broad palm hurriedly caught it. In the next moment, his dark green pupils violently trembled, and he almost dropped the token in his hand. His left leg suddenly stepped forward, and he unexpectedly knelt on one knee in front of Long Haochen.
"Honorable Moon Demon Viscount, I apologize for my rashness just now. I ask for your forgiveness." This Demon Commander unexpectedly became refined and courteous. Both hands holding the token, he didn't dare to approach.
With a flash of white light, the token returned to Long Haochen's hand. It was the power of the Saint Spiritual Stove. The Saint Spiritual Stove's energy was unique, and it wasn't of the light attribute. So Long Haochen wasn't afraid of the other party seeing through it. Not letting the other party approach was the most important thing. After all, they were humans, and without the protection of the token, it would be very easy for the other party to discover them. Demons had a very sensitive sense of smell.
"Get up. Filthy bastard. Tell me, where are you going? " Long Haochen's domineering appearance matched with his handsome appearance. He really did have the flavor of a hedonistic son of rich parents. However, it was his first time pretending to be this kind of identity, so he was obviously a bit inexperienced and immature.
The Demon Commander respectfully said: "Honorable Moon Demon Viscount, we are going to reinforce our clansmen who entered the Shrill Howl Cave."
"Shrill Howl Cave?" Long Haochen's heart stirred, "Where is it? How come I've never heard of it? "
The fiend commander said, "This cave was discovered by our fiend race. The mighty Fiend Monarch Saminaga had already reported the existence of this cave to the even more mighty His Majesty the Demon God Emperor. According to our Demons' judgment, there seems to be an unusual existence inside the Shrill Howl Cave. We are currently dispatching an advance party to investigate it. We received a distress signal from the scouting party and went to reinforce them. "
Although he was obviously afraid of Long Haochen's identity, he avoided mentioning the location of the Shrill Howl Cave. He also emphasized that the Demon Emperor already knew that the Demons were investigating the cave.
Long Haochen coldly snorted. "If I'm not mistaken, the Shrill Howl Cave you speak of is on the other side of the mountain."
The Demon Commander's expression changed greatly. His ferocious appearance became even more ferocious as he subconsciously asked: "You, how do you know?"
Long Haochen proudly said: "In this world, what else is there that our intelligent Moon Demons don't know? Don't worry, a small cave is nothing in our eyes. You can go and rescue them. Scram. "
While saying that, he quickly gestured to his companions with his right hand behind his back.
They were at the foot of the mountain, which was no different from the other areas of the Demons. Before the Demon Knights appeared, it could be said that there were no living creatures here.
The Demon Commander felt as if he had been pardoned. After bowing to Long Haochen again, he quickly returned to the back of his Succubus Demon Horse. With a wave of his hand, he led the 50 Demon Knights forward. There was a relatively flat terrain there. With the Succubus Demon Horse's ability, it could easily climb up.
Since they were moving forward, they naturally had to pass by Long Haochen and the others. Just as the Demon Knight passed by one-third of the group, Long Haochen suddenly shouted: "Attack!"
An enormous silhouette suddenly appeared in front of him without any warning. Immediately afterwards, more than ten specks of light fell on the members of the two Demon Hunt Squads, and in the next instant, the terrifying energy formed by the tri-colored light pillars spread out explosively.
The hand gesture that Long Haochen made earlier had two meanings: prepare for battle and leave no one alive!
