May the beasts of the plunder protect its body and grant "Empty Dream" freedom
Chapter 111 May the beasts of the plunder protect its body and grant "Empty Dream" freedom.
After a sincere prayer, Chen Ying'er immediately began chanting.
However, fate is always so cruel. Despite Chen Ying'er's prayers, the moment the Gate of Life opened, a small, weak lamb, barely able to walk, stumbled and fell out of it.
Instantly, Chen Ying'er's face turned deathly pale—
Why did this happen?
The other three smiled bitterly upon seeing this.
"Let's hide, maybe they're not targeting us—" Wang Yuanyuan said with a serious expression.
Seeing this, the others also hid behind the stone forest on the right side of the cave cavity.
To prevent the lamb from making a sound, Chen Ying'er tightly covered the lamb's mouth with her hand.
Moments later, accompanied by a strong smell of blood, a large number of demons poured into the cave.
Wang Yuanyuan and the others, hiding behind the stone forest, didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Fortunately, after a quick look around, the demon scouts found nothing and were about to head deeper into the cave when a nearly eight-meter-tall eighth-order demon king-level demon, emanating a thick demonic aura, appeared before them.
Seeing the demon king-level monster almost as tall as the cave, the four of them felt a chill run down their spines, their eyes widening involuntarily, and fine beads of sweat trickling down their foreheads.
All four of them understood that if they were discovered, they would face certain death!
Fortunately, the demon king-level demon showed no intention of searching and continued to follow behind the scout, moving slowly.
Just when everyone thought everything was alright, the little lamb held in Chen Ying'er's arms seemed to be startled upon seeing the eighth-tier demon king-level demon, and suddenly bit Chen Ying'er's slender hand.
Fresh blood dripped from between Chen Ying'er's fingers!
Intense pain instantly shot through Chen Ying'er's brain. Just when Wang Yuanyuan and the others thought Chen Ying'er would scream, she bit her lip tightly, refusing to make a sound. Instead, she tightened her grip on the lamb's mouth, as if afraid the lamb would make any more noise.
Seeing that Chen Ying'er remained silent, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as the three of them relaxed slightly, a fishy, foul smell entered their nostrils.
The four turned their heads and saw the enormous head of a demon king-level monster approaching them.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the Demon King-level demon Sang's mouth kept turning upwards, revealing teeth covered in blood and flesh, just like the Rift Woman, revealing an extremely eerie and terrifying smile.
"Found you, delicious little mice."
As the demon king spoke, a nauseating stench wafted over.
At this moment, Chen Ying'er and the others felt their legs go weak; they wanted to escape, but they couldn't lift their legs at all.
Until Wang Yuanyuan roared, "Run!"
Chen Ying'er and the other two suddenly realized that staying would not serve any purpose and would only be a burden. Almost the instant Wang Yuanyuan's voice rang out, Chen Ying'er miraculously took a step and ran towards the passage where Lin Feng and the other two had disappeared!
The other three followed closely behind.
Having planned their escape route in advance, the four quickly hid in the cave.
Wang Yuanyuan was responsible for covering the rear. The fist armor, Tai Xu Grip, which was transformed from the Key of Domination, was worn on her hands. Almost at the same time, the Giant Spirit God Shield also appeared in front of her.
In the past, Wang Yuanyuan would naturally not have been able to control the Giant Spirit God Shield, which was inlaid with five gems.
With the support of the Key of Domination, the Void Grip, one can wield the Giant Spirit Shield without any pressure.
Fortunately, just as Wang Yuanyuan had thought, the passage was very narrow. Although the number of demons was terrifying, they could not enter at the same time. With the Giant Spirit God's Shield blocking the door, the pressure on the four people was greatly reduced.
Most importantly, the eight-meter-tall demon king-level monster could only be blocked outside.
Under Wang Yuanyuan's command, Lin Xin first used defensive magic to stop the demon race's advance, while Han Yu used gravity skills to create a trap, further slowing down the enemy's movement speed.
Just as the demon was about to rush up to his face, Wang Yuanyuan used his inch-force technique, combined with the Sky-Splitting Cannon of the Giant Spirit God Shield, to strike!
With the Void Grip combined with the Sky-Splitter Cannon and the advantage of the terrain, the demon race was completely helpless against Wang Yuanyuan and the others for a time.
After repelling one attack from the demon race, Wang Yuanyuan quickly said, "Ying'er, don't worry about us. Go find the captain first. The three of us can hold them off here."
Wang Yuanyuan dared not leave directly. Among these demons, there were many sixth- or even seventh-tier beings. If they did not take any precautions, given the speed of these seventh-tier demons, death would be the only thing waiting for them.
Upon hearing Wang Yuanyuan's words, Chen Ying'er took out the magic core that Lin Feng had previously used to kill the seventh-tier Crimson Blood Demon from her spatial ring and fed it to the pink pig in her arms.
"McDull, you stay and help Yuan Yuan."
"McDull!! McDull!!" After swallowing the magic core, the pink pig shouted twice, then transformed into a seventh-tier Crimson Blood Demon and rushed to Wang Yuanyuan's side to help her resist the demon's attack!
Seeing this, Chen Ying'er disregarded the darkness of the passage and let the pebbles cut her skin as she groped her way to the back of the passage.
She wasn't trying to escape; she understood that only by finding Lin Feng could everyone survive. If they couldn't find him, all four of them would die!
Just as Chen Ying'er was desperately trying to find Lin Feng, the eighth-order demon king moved. He began to devour his companions. Originally only at the mid-stage of the eighth order, he actually reached the peak of the eighth order after devouring several seventh-order peak demon leaders!
The demon king-level monster slowly lowered its body, opened its blood-red maw, and countless dark red demonic energies gathered into its mouth.
A mocking low growl came from its throat.
"Little mice, do you think you can escape?"
"How could that be~"
Feeling the terrifying power gathering behind her, Chen Ying'er understood that even though Wang Yuanyuan's strength had reached the peak of the sixth rank, or even the seventh rank, with the support of the two divine artifacts, he would probably only die when faced with the full force of an eighth-rank peak demon king-level demon!
"Why, why do I always become a burden to everyone!"
Chen Ying'er stopped and turned around abruptly, running towards Wang Yuanyuan's direction. She needed to return before the eighth-tier peak demon king-level demon finished charging up its power. She still had an inner armor that could withstand a full-force attack from an eighth-tier peak demon, which Lin Feng had exchanged for for her using his merit points.
Even knowing that after withstanding one attack, death would still be their fate—
But she couldn't bear to watch Wang Yuanyuan and the others die in front of her!
Just when the four of them were filled with despair, and just as Chen Ying'er was rushing towards Wang Yuanyuan with the determination to die, a clear and sweet voice suddenly rang in Chen Ying'er's mind.
"It must feel awful to be unable to do anything, and I hate that feeling too!"
"Chen Ying'er, I will bestow upon you a blessing of great fortune, and even greater power!"
And just as that ethereal sound fell...
A voice that everyone was very familiar with rang in their ears.
"May the beasts of plunder protect it, and grant 'Empty Dream' its freedom."
The moment the voice fell, Chen Ying'er ran in front of Wang Yuanyuan. The eighth-order peak demon king-level demon had also completed its power-gathering, and a dark red beam full of destructive aura attacked the four of them!
At the same time, a dazzling beam of light shone beneath Chen Ying'er's feet, accompanied by a brilliant inscription representing [Empty Dream], which hovered behind her—
(Sorry for the late update. I'll try to update around midnight from now on. The New Year greetings are also coming to an end. Thank you all for your company in the new year. (V) Sending love!)
