Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1274: Lake Within the Island

Bai Jin's suggestion won unanimous approval from the others; the hiding spots were becoming fewer, and continuing like this, they would become targets that were incredibly easy to hit.

Going deeper into the forest involved certain risks, but there was no better option now.

"The direction of the Enchanting Demon's attack...

The attack from six o'clock was relatively weak, so we retreat in that direction.

We can't rule out the possibility of an ambush in that direction, so we absolutely cannot let our guard down."

Bai Jin's telepathy echoed in everyone's ears.

After determining the general retreat direction for the team, Bai Jin organized the team to orderly retreat inland.

Through the magic set up in the sky, the Enchanting Demon learned of Bai Jin and their movements.

Aslit was disdainful of this, "Running deeper into the forest? That's just a waste of effort."

If time permitted, Aslit wouldn't mind taking down Iyas first, then slowly torturing the others.

But through the Magic Array set up in the sky, Aslit could clearly feel that Yang Yu alone was toying with the Spiny Scale Lizard.

This was greatly beyond Aslit's expectations.

Originally thinking that Benglie Ci Lin might have some special features, even if it couldn't capture Yang Yu, it should at least hold him off for a long time, but it turned out to be just this.

Benglie Ci Lin only followed its master a bit earlier and did more than others did, thus earning its status.

Speaking solely of current capabilities, Aslit was confident she wasn't inferior to Benglie Ci Lin, she hoped to show herself as more valuable to that esteemed individual.

If this operation ended in failure, she would not be deserving of this hard-won strength.

Flapping her wings, Aslit plunged into the forest, leading her troops in pursuit.

Bai Jin could use "Dancing in the Air" to quickly move through the forest, but the others couldn't, making the team's overall movement relatively slow.

Dark magic glowing with dim light shot through the dark forest, targeting Bai Jin.

Sensing the intense magic fluctuation approaching, Bai Jin swung the Magic Wand Sigh Seed, and in an instant, electric light flashed, with several Lightning Arrows flying in different directions.

As soon as the Lightning Arrows collided with the black magic, a burst of violent energy erupted, explosions ensued, destroying countless trees under that fierce energy.

Bai Jin pre-emptively detonated the approaching black magic.

Unfortunately, the number of incoming black magic attacks was beyond what was expected, and Bai Jin couldn't cover every angle.

Several clusters of black light streaked towards them.

Utilizing the Holy Light surrounding her, to clarify the branches ahead, Iyas drew her bow and shot a Light Arrow forward.

Closing her eyes, she attached her consciousness to the Light Arrow, and the Light Arrow Iyas shot out made a dramatic 180-degree turn, colliding with the black magic. Purple black and bright sparks bloomed, entangling and vanishing in the forest.

The crisis was temporarily lifted.

If Lotcar were here, Bai Jin and the others would have easily escaped.

But when dividing the team, considering that "Island Drifting" was far less mobile than Bai Jin and the others, and more likely to fall into passivity in the face of Enchanting Demon attacks, Lotcar was assigned to them.

"Island Drifting" is an important ally and a force that cannot be underestimated in the raid on "Count Blood", their safety is just as important.

Bai Jin and Iyas had enough strength, with He Meng as backup; they also believed they could handle this situation, thus agreeing to this division.

In moments of extreme crisis, Iyas still had the "Goddess's Smile" and the "Holy Light Acceleration Stone" on her.

But, regardless of Bai Jin or Iyas, they hoped to use the second active of the "Holy Light Acceleration Stone" on eliminating the Enchanting Demon.

Bai Jin and Iyas coordinated with each other, leading the team through the dark forest.

Suddenly, their view widened, and a lake reflecting a magic array appeared before them.

If someone squatted down to taste the lake water, they would find it bitter beyond words, tasting just like seawater.

The lake in this island was connected to the ocean, the bitter seawater deterred the forest, forming a vast expanse.

Nobody expected there to be such a lake on this island.

Soaring Aslit had already entered Bai Jin's perception range, and soon she would attack.

Before that, the Enchanting Demon's attacks became increasingly dense, they too discovered the nearby lake, knowing Bai Jin and the others would have difficulty proceeding.

Now, advancing along the lake could lead straight into the Enchanting Demon's trap.

Perhaps, they should go against expectations, freeze the lake's surface, and head to the center of this lake.

Standing at the center of the lake, any magic launched by the Enchanting Demon would become clearly visible, enabling easier defense.

The Enchanting Demon had chased them for some time, slightly drifting away from Yang Yu's battle with the Spiny Scale Lizard, so Bai Jin didn't need to worry about the Enchanting Demon thinking it was too difficult to deal with them and going to support the Spiny Scale Lizard, causing trouble for Yang Yu.

Bai Jin trusted Yang Yu's capabilities; given enough time, he alone could handle those Spiny Scale Lizards.

As long as no troublesome individuals interfered with Yang Yu, he was sure to succeed.

The Enchanting Demons before Bai Jin were the troublesome individuals.

Yang Yu's anti-air capabilities were still weak, and faced with a barrage from dozens of Enchanting Demons, he could only keep dodging.

The Spiny Scale Lizard, like Yang Yu, had very short range attacks, making it difficult to counteract from the air.

Just like Yang Yu couldn't handle the Enchanting Demon, the Spiny Scale Lizard couldn't handle Bai Jin.

This formed a predicament.

If Aslit got entangled with Yang Yu, the Spiny Scale Lizard would have to face Bai Jin, risking being kited by Bai Jin and Iyas, just like being walked like a dog until it dropped.

So, the best way was to have the Spiny Scale Lizard deal with Yang Yu, concentrating a large number of Enchanting Demons to hold off the others.

Unfortunately, the Enchanting Demon didn't realize they were splitting their team into three squads, playing right into Yang Yu's hands.

These Enchanting Demons and Spiny Scale Lizard were confident in their strength, and Yang Yu and his companions were no different.

Bai Jin didn't know how long Yang Yu would need to resolve the Spiny Scale Lizard, but she certainly wouldn't wait idly for Yang Yu to rescue them.

Her mind raced, suddenly a stroke of inspiration hit Bai Jin, and she said to everyone:

"Everyone, give me a little time. If successful, we might find a chance to counterattack. Now, move freely."

With that, Bai Jin flew low across the lake's surface, heading to the center of the lake.

Bai Jin raised her magic wand high and began chanting continuously.

Aslit frowned, she could distinctly feel a massive amount of magic accumulating towards Bai Jin, Bai Jin was showing signs of activating a Super Large Magic.

"To the center of the lake... releasing Super Large Magic... what's her intention!"

Whatever Bai Jin intended, Aslit decided to quickly resolve things with Iyas and Bai Jin.

Aslit put her long knife back in its sheath, her speed suddenly surged, rushing straight towards Bai Jin.

But at some point, Kula Doreen had gotten on a tree branch, waiting quietly for Aslit's arrival.
