Kanter only told them about Dong Ying's actions, but he didn't tell them what he saw after activating the Bloodline of Night: Dong Ying's face was contorted in anger as he ran towards the Overwatch Bastion. His mouth kept on cursing and swearing.
After Kanter activated his bloodline and forcefully merged with the darkness, he could barely see and hear anything. But through his lips, Kanter could read what Dong Luo was saying.
She was cursing the demon behind her while planning how to use the people in the base as her scapegoats.
As for the apprentices in the base, Donga gave them a menacing look. "So what if you're dead? You're useless anyway. You should feel honored that your deaths helped me!"
It was obvious that Donga was trying to divert the trouble away from her.
But she didn't know that she couldn't divert the trouble away from herself. She was the target of the demon's bad luck. If she lured Donga to the base, the base would die with her, and the demon would still chase after her.
"She's doing this on purpose!" Sennefer gritted her teeth. "We can't let her get close to the base!"
"But you have no reason to stop her," Kanter muttered.
Most importantly, Dong Yue did not know that she had been tainted with bad luck. If he told her about this, with her personality, she would definitely not stay away obediently. She would definitely drag others down with her and become her scapegoat.
"No matter what, we need to get her out of the base first!" Sennefer looked at the apprentices and asked for their opinion.
Sunders and Kanter nodded. Even if they couldn't defeat the demon, they could at least run away.
Samantha's beautiful eyes looked around as she gently opened her glass-like lips. "But, how can I persuade her to leave? Do we have to help her defeat the demon? Let's not talk about whether we can defeat the demon or not. Even if Donga escapes, she won't be able to escape. "
Once the Pilgrim of Misfortune's aura was tainted, it would be extremely difficult to get rid of it. At least, they didn't have a way to do that.
Sennefer understood this as well. However, the most important thing right now was to get Donga away from the base as soon as possible.
Sennefer did not have time to answer Samantha's question. "Even if we have to trick him, we have to lure him away from the fortress."
In the next second, Sennefer flew toward the Critical Forest. The rest of the team, including Samantha, followed her.
Soon, Angor was the only one left at the top of the tower.
He looked at the fiery light in the distance and sighed in his mind.
He didn't spend much time in the Abyss Plane, but he already witnessed the unpredictable changes of the Abyss. The dangers he encountered were like the ocean during the monsoon season.
The demons in the Fringe Forest alone could easily flatten the base, not to mention the dangers lurking in the dark.
One could only imagine how terrifying a real demon god was.. If the shadow of the Demon God really shrouded the Southern Region, it would be a terrifying scene.
…
Donga looked's expression was gloomy.
In order to avoid Manjimoni's powerful move from before, she used another trump card – the Displacer Puppet.
She used it to teleport herself hundreds of kilometers away from Angor's attack range.
Originally, she thought that after using this trump card, she would be able to successfully escape the pursuit. However, she did not expect that the place she was transported to was actually a forest of explosions!
The so-called "Forest of Explosions" came from the strange trees that grew everywhere. These trees would explode as soon as they came into contact with any unusual energy.
Even wizards had to be careful when they came here. It wasn't a big deal for a single tree to explode, but there were so many of them that they could cause a chain of explosions.
The combined power of the explosions wouldn't really hurt a wizard, but they would at least leave their faces covered in dust.
For Donga, the forest of explosions wasn't a big deal. She wouldn't get hurt at all.
But although the explosion here was harmless to her, the sound of the explosion was enough to attract Manjimone's attention!
When Donga arrived at the forest of explosions, she sensed a strange spatial fluctuation coming from the Translocator Puppet Puppet, which alerted a red tree nearby.
With a loud boom, the tree exploded violently.
One explosion wasn't enough. Following that, the surrounding dense trees exploded like firecrackers, making a series of crackling sounds.
Dong Yue was dumbfounded. He didn't even have time to react before the explosion rang out.
At the same time, Manjimone, who was a hundred miles away, was attracted by the explosion and once again locked his gaze on Dong Ming.
Feeling a chill run down his spine, Dong Yue cursed, "Damn it, why did we have to switch to the Explosion Forest?!"
Dong Ming didn't think too much about it. He just felt that he was too unlucky today.
She could only force herself to stay alert and start running again.
This time, Eastern Sea King's target was the Overwatch Stronghold!
As long as she escaped to the Overwatch Stronghold, she would no longer be the only one facing Manjimoni! As for the fact that Manjimoni would cause a large number of apprentices to die or even destroy the stronghold, East Peak didn't care at all.
Dong Ming rushed towards the Overwatch Bastion with a ferocious expression.
It was also thanks to the person who had replaced her that she was able to maintain a distance of a hundred li, which prevented Manjimoni from catching up to her immediately. However, Manjimoni's speed was simply unimaginable. Even if Dong Ming ran with all her might, she still couldn't compare to a demon born with bone wings.
"He's so big, but he's still so agile! That's not fair! "Dong Ming said hatefully," Also, I only shouted once. Why do you keep chasing me! "
Finally, after a few minutes, the distance between Dong Ming and Manjimoni was less than ten li.
Manjimoni didn't hesitate to pass through the space barrier and instantly appeared behind Dong Ming. At the same time, a flaming arrow shot out from Manjimoni's cloak, aiming straight for Dong Ming!
At the same time, Manjimoni also stretched out his fist and smashed it towards Dong Ming.
Although Dong Ming sensed it, her reaction was still a bit slow.
Dong Ming could dodge Manjimoni's fist, but seeing the flaming arrow close at hand, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and think to herself, 'I can only take it head-on!'
However, at this moment, a strange gravitational force suddenly appeared beside her. She originally thought that it was the killing intent hidden in Manjimone's Flame Arrow, but after carefully sensing it, she found that there was no killing intent in the gravitational force.
Dong Ming seemed to have realized something and stopped resisting the gravitational force. In the next second, with a whoosh, she was ejected several li away. None of the flaming arrows hit her!
When Dong Ming came back to her senses, she saw four people standing behind her.
Samantha, Saunders, and Kanter were expected to be there. However, she didn't expect it to be Sennefer who pulled her here.
When did Sennefer come to the Overwatch Base?
Sennefer's Spirit Bond connected to Dong Ming while he was still trying to figure out what was going on.
As soon as the bond connected, Dong Ming heard Sennefer's puzzled voice. "What's with this demon? It's as strong as a demon lord! We can't let it get any closer!"
Kanter was also confused. "Is it a combination of a lava troll and a bone-winged demon?"
Samantha scoffed. "You provoked such a powerful demon and brought it to the Overwatch Base? That's just like you, Dong Ming."
Dong Ming snorted. "If it were you, would you do something so righteous?"
"At the very least, I wouldn't provoke such a creature."
Dong Ming was about to retort when Sennefer interrupted her. "This is an emergency. Stop arguing. How did you provoke it, Dong Ming? And who is it? "
"Who knows how I provoked him? I had just crossed over and returned when this fellow came out of the ground, shouting that he wanted to kill me. If it wasn't for that little accident, I wouldn't have had to run away like this! "
Everyone had already guessed what Dong Ming was talking about, but they couldn't show it right now.
"There has to be a reason why it's after you, right?" Samantha snickered. "Don't tell me you stole something from someone else?"
However, Dong Yue brushed it off perfunctorily because there was indeed a reason. However, the reason might be that she had shouted loudly and awakened this sleeping big guy.
But it wasn't a good idea to tell the truth.
"I learned something about this demon. It's very likely to be a former demon lord, Manjimone. But for some unknown reason, it fell from the throne," Dong Ming explained.
Once a demon lord fell from the throne, it meant that he or she was no longer as strong as a demon lord. According to Kanter's observation, the demon was at the peak of level-2 truth-finder.
In other words, it was at the same level as Sunders.
However, that didn't mean they were equally strong. For example, the giant mushroom cloud that destroyed everything in its path, leaving only the lava pool behind. That wasn't something Sunders could create.
Plus, Manjimone didn't seem to care about such power at all. The demon was still brimming with energy.
Besides, Manjimone was a former demon lord, which meant he had a lot of experience and knowledge.
Most importantly, they weren't standing in the southern wizardry region. They were in the Abyss Plane, which meant the violent energy around them would naturally serve the supernatural beings there.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible to win against Manjimoni.
"It won't be easy, but we should be able to contain it." Sunders' spirit ripples reached everyone's minds through Spirit Bond.
Sennefer grimaced. "No matter what, we can't lure it to the Overwatch Base!"
"I don't want to be Dong Ming's scapegoat, but this isn't Dong Ming's problem anymore." Samantha said, "How about this? We'll all do our best to stop and drive Manjimoni away. If it can retreat on its own, that's fine, but if it still wants to pursue us, then we can only lead it to other places."
"Even if it doesn't give up, we've weakened its strength. When the time comes, no matter who it chases, after it leads them around the Overwatch Bastion, its chances of escaping will be very high."
