The Poison Cave: Devouring Wasps were everywhere. They were using the Wind Disc as a cover to hide themselves. Thousands of them dug into the Scarlet Rending Demon's wounds. The Scarlet Rending Demon did not notice them at first, but it finally realized that its wounds were crawling with poisonous wasps when it felt countless tiny creatures biting at its wounds!
The Poisonous Wasps were a strange kind of evil spirit. They were so tiny that they could ignore the natural order of things. Regardless of whether it was a Servant-class or a Commander-level creature, once they bit into a wound, the wound would worsen. The corrosive poison would spread to the surroundings, making even the armor that was in perfect condition vulnerable to the attack!
Even though the beasts were intelligent, they were still incomparable to humans. Guan Yu and Zu Jiming had successfully spread the poison to the Scarlet Rending Demon's wounds. The group only needed to focus their spells on the places where the poison had spread to. Even an Intermediate Spell was enough to inflict significant damage to the Scarlet Rending Demon …
"Giant Shadow Spike: Thorns of the Rose!"
Li Kaifeng immediately made his move. He tossed six Giant Shadow Spikes at the Scarlet Rending Demon from six different directions.
The Scarlet Rending Demon nimbly leapt into the air. The Giant Shadow Spikes stabbed into the ice it was stepping on.
The Scarlet Rending Demon's eyes glittered in the air. Its eyes immediately turned bloodshot. The water under it suddenly became restless, as if it was going to rise again …
However, as soon as the water splashed, the Scarlet Rending Demon let out a painful cry, and the water fell back into the sea.
"Trying to stir up trouble after being hit by my Demon Torture?" Ai Jiangtu grinned coldly.
The Scarlet Rending Demon was seriously looking down on the human Magicians. It was going to pay for it this time.
The Scarlet Rending Demon landed on the ground. It stomped on the ice and dove into the water like a merman. It was extremely deep into the water. Its shadow disappeared within the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xu, who was an expert at fighting underwater, was about to chase after the creature when Ai Jiangtu stopped him.
"Don't go down, it must be waiting for you," said Ai Jiangtu.
Zhou Xu nodded. He finally withheld the urge to chase after the Commander-level creature.
"Did it run away?" said Zu Jiming.
"I think so, let's …"
Before Zhao Manyan could finish, a huge explosion took place where Mo Fan was standing!
"Beng!!!!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a red whirlwind drill through the ice. Its target was Mofan.
The ambush was too sudden. None of them were prepared for it, and none of them could cast a defensive spell on Mofan in time.
Fortunately, Mofan's perception was not weak. When he realized that something was wrong, he immediately turned into a shadow and split into two to escape.
The Scarlet Rending Demon glanced angrily at Mo Fan, who had fled over forty meters away, when it realized that its attack had failed …
It seemed that this Demon Commander was a vengeful creature. It had not forgotten that Mofan had punched its armor open, so its first target was Mofan. Fortunately, Mofan dodged quickly. Otherwise, that brown whirlwind drill would have easily turned him into minced meat!
"Don't go down there if you dare!" cursed Mofan, pointing his finger at the Scarlet Rending Demon's head.
A purple-black lightning bolt descended from the sky, leaving a dazzling trail in the air as it flew right at the Scarlet Rending Demon's head.
The Scarlet Rending Demon reacted quickly. It dodged to the side, and the lightning only landed on the spot it was standing at a moment ago.
It did not matter if Mofan's spell was dodged, as they had a lot of people on their side. All kinds of wind, lightning, flames, ice chains, and rocks flew at the Scarlet Rending Demon. The Scarlet Rending Demon managed to dodge some of the attacks, but it was still hit by some of them, leaving it with more wounds on its body.
The Scarlet Rending Demon turned into a red whirlwind again when it saw another wave of spells flying at it. It broke through the ice and dove into the water.
The seawater had become its domain of concealment. It could also observe the movements of the human Mages on the ice from under the water, looking for a suitable opportunity to strike.
"BANG!"
Following another huge blast, the Scarlet Rending Demon sprang out from the water like a whirlwind. This time, its target was Zu Jiming, who had poisoned it. Luckily, Zhao Manyan and Nan Jue had both cast a layer of protection on Zu Jiming. Zu Jiming was also wearing his own Armor, so he was only half-crippled by the impact …
"BANG!"
The Scarlet Rending Demon jumped out from the ice while everyone's attention was still focused on the severely injured Zu Jiming. It swiped its claw at Nan Jue.
Nan Jue had already dodged the attack, yet the claw still tore a huge wound on her arm. Blood kept dripping from the wound.
"That thing is too cunning, it's not going to fight us head-on!" cursed Guan Yu furiously.
"It's going to be difficult for us to kill it. Let's head back to the ship. Otherwise, more people are going to be injured," said Ai Jiangtu.
A Commander-level creature was not easy to deal with. The Scarlet Rending Demon was swimming in the water and attacking whenever it had the chance. It would immediately dive back into the water after it failed its attack. The group did not dare to chase after it in the water, thus they had no choice but to endure the attacks.
Instead of being picked off one by one, it was better for them to retreat for now. After all, not many of the Scarlet Soaring Demons were left, meaning that they had wiped out the entire tribe. They could either ignore the Commander-level Scarlet Rending Demon, or come up with a plan to deal with it!
Zu Jiming was severely injured. Once they were brought back to the ship, they would need Nan Rongni's help to treat his injuries.
The wound on Nan Jue's arm was equally shocking. However, the woman was extremely tenacious. She did not even frown when she was bleeding. Instead, she kept reminding everyone that the Scarlet Rending Demon was still coming after them.
"Let's head back to Feiniao City first!" said Ai Jiangtu, who was a little tired.
"Mmm."
"The Scarlet Rending Demon is vicious and vengeful. If it returns to the cave and realizes that we've killed all the Scarlet Soaring Demons, it will surely seek revenge," said Mu Ningxue sternly.
"We're retreating now because we're hoping that it will come after us for revenge. We won't be able to kill it if we fight it in the water. If we can lure it to the land and cut off its escape route, it'll be a lot easier!" said Ai Jiangtu.
"That's reasonable. We won't stand a chance if we keep fighting it here."
"But, will it really come to Feiniao City? I don't think it has the guts to invade a human city," said Nan Jue.
