"Splash! Splash! Splash!"
On the other side of the island, the sound of water could be heard. It sounded as if a lake was boiling. Even if they couldn't see the lake, they could imagine that there was a large group of creatures moving quickly on the surface of the lake.
"The Salamander Demons are here!" Captain Gu Ying said sternly. She was surprisingly confident.
The Hunter Group was quite experienced. They cooperated well with one another. Zhong Li, who was in charge of luring the Salamander Demons into the water, successfully lured the brainless Salamander Demons to the narrow passage.
"Drop the stone gate now!" Zhong Li stepped on the surface of the water and flew into the island, yelling at the Earth Magician above him.
A huge boulder fell from above, sealing off the narrow passage like a stone gate. The Salamander Demons at the front were immediately separated from the rest of the Salamander Demons behind them.
The Salamander Demons were not very agile. They were like a moving fortress of steel. They mainly relied on crushing and devouring their enemies!
Mofan saw four Salamander Demons trapped in the sealed passage after the stone gate fell.
"Damn it, we were too slow. Four of them came in!" the Earth Mage grumbled in frustration.
"Four … won't that be too much for us?" the middle-aged Mage with a big nose asked.
"It's fine, as long as we don't make any mistakes, we should be able to eliminate them all," Captain Gu Ying agreed.
…
Gu Ying's cultivation was the highest. Not only did she have two Soul Seeds, she had also reached the third tier of the Intermediate Level. She was strong enough to take on the Salamander Demons on her own.
"Ice Lock!"
Gu Ying stared at the Salamander Demons that had entered the water. She summoned an ice chain as thick as a tree trunk and tossed it at the fat Salamander Demon, dragging it a meter below the surface of the water!
"Attack it first!" Gu Ying said.
Gu Ying dragged the Salamander Demon over with the ice chain so the others could attack it too.
Mofan finally got a good look at the Salamander Demon after it was dragged over by the ice chain.
"Are you sure it's not a giant snail?" Mofan asked.
"What do you mean by snails? These are Salamander Demons! Stay away from them, they can shoot poisonous arrows at you!" Xie Hao warned him.
To be honest, at first glance, this thing really did look like a snail because it had a snail shell on its back. It could also be called a conch shell!
The size of the shell was close to the hood of a car. It was shaped like a snail, and the top was quite sharp. Under the sunlight, the shell gave off a dark copper luster.
The most disgusting thing about Spiral Ruthless Demons was their shells. Once, there was an army that wiped out the Spiral Ruthless Demons on an island. Their army was on a large ship and carried out a carpet bombing on the island. Magic rained down from the sky, and the entire island was almost silent. However, the Spiral Ruthless Demons retracted their bodies into their shells. As a result, the island sank, but the Spiral Ruthless Demons were safe and sound. The commander of that battle must have had an expression of incomparable despair when he saw that these things were still alive and kicking.
It was obvious that the Salamander Demons had inherited the shells of the Spiral Ruthless Demons. They were as sturdy as copper!
The Salamander was a kind of creature similar to a lizard. Amphibious creatures were the most common in an environment where water and land combined. Mofan had mentioned that the Salamander Demons looked like giant snails because their bodies under their shells were actually lizards. They were soft, wriggling, and had tentacles …
In other words, the Salamander Demons were giant lizards with a copper-colored shell!
Ling Ling had mentioned that the Salamander Demons had outstanding defensive capabilities. They had the highest survivability among creatures of the same level. Mofan had no reason to doubt Ling Ling's words as he watched the Hunters fight on the shore!
Gu Ying, Xie Hao, the big-nosed middle-aged Mage, and the others cast a few spells at the Salamander Demons. However, they discovered that the Salamander Demons were retracting their bodies into their shells. They cast spells of the Ice Element, the Ice Element, the Wind Element, the Wind Element, and the Fire Element …
The Salamander Demons poked their bodies out of their shells after the spells were over. They let out a piercing cry and began their counterattack!
"Isn't … isn't it dead yet?" Xie Hao was dumbfounded.
Gu Ying had a stern look, too. She knew the Salamander Demons had outstanding defensive capabilities. There was no way they could fight a group of Salamander Demons at once, but she did not know a single Salamander Demon's defense was so outstanding!
"Even the captain's Soul Seed only left a tiny mark on its shell. How are we supposed to kill it? The other three are coming! "the big-nosed Mage said.
"How am I supposed to know!?"
Normally, an Intermediate Mage with a Soul Seed was quite outstanding among the Hunters. They could even take on a Warrior-level creature on their own. Everyone was counting on Gu Ying to break through the Salamander Demons' defense so the others could kill them quickly. To their surprise, even the captain's Soul Seed was unable to break through the Salamander Demons' defense. The Salamander Demons' defense was insane!
Luckily, the Salamander Demons were quite slow. Otherwise, they would have to run for their lives when there were four Vajra Conches!
"A third-level Intermediate Mage with a Soul Seed … it's already the strongest Spell among the Intermediate Mages, yet it still can't hurt the Salamander Demons. These Salamander Demons are quite impressive as Warrior-level creatures!" Mofan observed the battle from the side. He began to evaluate the Salamander Demons' defense.
If the Intermediate Mages could not break through the Salamander Demons' defense, they would have to use Advanced Spells!
However, the problem was, how many Advanced Mages were there in each city? Even if the Advanced Mages' legs went numb, they would not be able to reproduce as quickly as the Salamander Demons!
"Again!" Gu Ying did not believe it.
She organized another wave of attacks. This time, Gu Ying used the Shadow Element to pin the Salamander Demons to a rock. The others' spells were basically hitting the targets. They were able to guarantee that the strongest spells would land on the Salamander Demons.
The Shadow Element did not seem to be able to stop the Salamander Demons from retreating. Mofan saw colorful Elemental Magic bursting out of the rock …
Water splashed everywhere. When the remnants of the spell dissipated, fine cracks had appeared on the dark copper shell. The Salamander Demon's soft body crawled out of the shell, as if it had just dodged a heavy downpour. Even though it was a little messy, its life was not in any danger.
Tiny cracks …
This was the result of the group of Intermediate Mages attacking the Salamander Demons. It would take them at least ten more attacks of this level to break the shell into pieces!
The Foehn Hunter Squad had no way to back down now that they had lured the Salamander Demons in.
Everyone clenched their teeth and continued to attack the Salamander Demons. Luckily, the Salamander Demons' attacks were not too bad. They were no longer newbies. They could still handle the other three Salamander Demons!
…
The sky started to darken. Before sunset, the team finally took out the four Salamander Demons.
The six members of the Hunter Squad were not seriously injured, but they were as tired as dogs. They sat by the water and began to doubt their lives.
"My Heavens, I bet that's the toughest Warrior-level creature I've ever seen in my life. In terms of defense, it's probably a Commander-level creature!" Zhong Li exclaimed.
Their squad had been active around the Thousand Islands Lake. They mainly killed Giant Lizards and Swamp Demons. It was their first time hunting the Salamander Demons, yet they were utterly shocked by the Salamander Demons' defense.
"F * * k me, I thought I was going to find some money here. Who would have thought it would be such disgusting creatures? If five Salamander Demons only dropped a single Salamander Demon Heart Orb, I'm not going to pay two hundred thousand for it. I'd rather sleep with the young masters of renowned clans for a few nights!" Gu Ying cursed.
"Boss, are you serious? I'll pay you two hundred thousand for three days!" Zhong Li suddenly rose to his feet and looked at Gu Ying excitedly. …
"Piss off, piss off! If you're good-looking, two hundred thousand for three days and three nights won't be a problem. As for you, I'll even consider paying two million for it!" Gu Ying snapped.
Mo Fan was still pondering about the Salamander Demon's shell when Gu Ying's words immediately snapped him out of his thoughts!
For some reason, the people around him always thought he was not handsome enough. They should all listen to Gu Ying. If he was handsome enough, he would even get a discount on his * *, not to mention hooking up with women. If he wanted to, he could at least do it for three hundred and sixty-five days a year!
"Wow, doesn't every Salamander Demon have a Heart Orb?" Xie Hao suddenly blurted out.
"Of course not, some don't, some do. The probability is around one in five."
"Holy crap, if none of the four Salamanders have a Heart Orb, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?" Xie Hao screamed.
"It's possible," Mo Fan said.
"Don't jinx it, let's take a look at the corpses!" Gu Ying glared at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan began to take care of the chores. He went to check the four corpses.
Not long after, Mo Fan returned with an awkward expression.
"Don't say anything, I'll check again!" Gu Ying jumped to her feet and carefully checked the four corpses.
The team's faces darkened. When Gu Ying returned with an exasperated look, they finally realized that they had worked for nothing!
They did not even have a single Heart Orb!
They had used up all their energy. It would take them at least three to four days to fully recover!
Including the time they had to prepare for the journey, prepare for the battle, and recover their energy, it basically meant they had worked for nothing for almost a week!
Gu Ying's expression was the worst. She was seriously considering selling herself!
