Chapter 643: Ambush
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With the Wizard Pagoda’s Space as the main base, Yang Ling had as much manpower and materials such as crystals, wood, and stone as he wanted. A Great Wizard Altar etched with symbols was built in the valley overnight! Aside from the altar, they also built a giant Magical Teleportation Formation, completing their preparations.
“The Sunset Plains, let’s call this valley the Sunset Valley in the future!” After setting up restrictions around the Great Wizard Altar and leaving behind a deep Soul Imprint, Yang Ling slowly opened his eyes.
With this valley, the Great Wizard Altar, as his foothold, he would be able to freely traverse between the Graveyard of Deities and Demons and the Tailun Continent. This way, he would be able to sneakily enter the Graveyard of Deities and Demons again after he returned to the Tailun Continent when the six-month time period was up. He had made sufficient preparations for his next exploration.
The Graveyard of Deities and Demons were fraught with danger but was also filled with opportunities. They had already encountered this many Divine-level Magical Beasts in the outer periphery of the graveyard, which meant that there were even more within the inner regions of the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. The divinities and Divine Weapons of ancient Divine Demons, Purple Sky Condors that were as fast as lightning, the Mother Nest that could cultivate Wandering Divine Beasts… Merely obtaining any one of them would allow him to rapidly increase his battle capabilities in a short period of time.
“Lord, we have all completed our preparations and can set off at any time!” The Corpse Wizard King walked over quickly. Even though he had not slept the entire night, his eyes red from being busy with the organization of the Magical Beast Army, he looked incredibly energetic, showing no signs of fatigue.
“Great, let’s set off immediately. Ymort, this is an earth-element divinity. Consume it and stay behind to defend Sunset Valley. You must set up the secret base of the Magical Beast Territory in the shortest span of time possible!” Yang Ling gave a terse order, then jumped down from the Great Wizard Altar and handed the divinity of the dwarf to Scorpion King Ymort before instructing the Corpse Wizard King to leave behind a team of Magical Beasts to help.
Even though the location was already rather remote, and even though he had set up many layers of restrictions to guard the area, it was still safer to leave behind a team of Magical Beasts to guarantee the safety of the base!
Over this period of time, seeing that the Dark Dragon King, the Corpse Wizard King, and the rest of the group had all advanced to the divine level, Scorpion King Ymort had trained bitterly. Even though he had not broken through the barrier to the divine level, he did have visible improvements in the Soul Wizard Techniques and was now able to instantly divide his body up into a million speedy scorpions.
The dwarf had specialized in the Law of Earth and could move freely under the ground. If Scorpion King Ymort could successfully assimilate his divinity and grasp the Earth Traversing Technique, his abilities would definitely be nothing to scoff at. Being able to split into a million bodies and use the Earth Traversing Technique would definitely catch the opponent off guard!
After making the necessary preparations, Yang Ling quickly left the Sunset Plains, heading toward the faraway Moon River. He had entered the area alone, but now had with him the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, Ophilia, and a few other Magical Beasts by his side as he left. There were not many Magical Beasts around him, but they were all elites within their respective tribes.
Under the command of the Corpse Wizard King, a group of speedy Horned Bee Beasts spread out in all directions, scouting the nearby terrain and distribution of Magical Beasts. A team of Vampire Bats was responsible for scouting the path and distribution of veins of ores using their ultrasonic capabilities. A team of Twin-legged Flying Dragons served as their rides…
There were not many Magical Beasts following the group. This made the size of the group small so as to avoid attracting the attention of a large group of Evil Demons or negatively affect the speed of the group. Yang Ling could quickly summon the rest of the Magical Beast Army if they found suitable prey or a valuable vein of minerals!
Whoosh…
The group was incredibly fast, riding the Twin-legged Flying Dragons as they flew forward close to the ground. The Horned Bee Beasts and Vampire Bats scouting the path would immediately retreat when they were tired, and a new batch of them would take their place to ensure that they continued to move at high speeds. The Corpse Wizard King would issue orders from time to time, correcting the orientation of the group. Yang Ling freed his hands and let the Corpse Wizard King helm the group, sitting with his eyes closed on the back of a flying dragon. He would either seize the time to dispel the Dragon Head Rings or focus his efforts in grasping the Life Graft Wizard Technique.
“Stop, there’s a situation in front!”
After passing through a lush forest, the Corpse Wizard King quickly deduced that there was a situation in front after noticing a few of the Horned Bee Beasts’ abnormal actions. He ordered the group to stop and hide behind a field of lush trees. Indeed, a team of Abyssal Demons soon appeared on the horizon, running toward them at a reasonable speed. There were only five of them. They were chatting and laughing at each other, making it seem like they were a small team of patrolling Evil Demons.
“Lord, do we hide and let them pass, or…” Seeing the heavily armored, violent Abyssal Demons, the Corpse Wizard King asked Yang Ling for instructions.
Basically, every Abyssal Demon had abilities equivalent to that of a High-level Deity, while the leader commanding the unit would at least have abilities at the peak of a High-level Deity. What was even more troublesome was that if they were unable to kill them off quickly enough, they might quickly attract the attention of a large team of crazed Evil Demons. The Corpse Wizard King would not dare easily take action unless he was absolutely confident; However, he was a little excited he saw the lax Evil Demons joking and laughing with each other!
After grasping the Demon God Battle Formation, the battle capabilities of him, Ophilia, and the rest of the group had reached an exceptional state. In order to test the true battle capabilities of his group and in order to understand the advanced applications of the Demon God Battle Formation through battle, it was ideal to test their abilities out on these careless Evil Demons and dig out their divinities!
“The person directing the operations now is you, the Magical Beast Chief Commander. You can deal with ordinary situations, decide for yourself!” Seeing the Evil Demons getting more careless as they approach them, then looking at the Corpse Wizard King who was raring to go yet a little hesitant, Yang Ling smiled without expressing his opinion.
Yang Ling trusted the person in position!
Since he had entrusted the Corpse Wizard King with the role of the Magical Beast Chief Commander, he had to give him the authority to display his intelligence and wit so that he could build up his authority through the missions. That would allow the Corpse Wizard King to assume personal responsibility and become his able general, in every sense of the word.
“Barton, go lure the Evil Demons over here, remember don’t engage in battle with them!” The Corpse Wizard King gave his order, instructing the Burning Fire Elf King to charge out and act as bait so that they could lure the careless Abyssal Demons over. He led Ophilia, the Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group and laid an ambush.
Whoosh.
The Burning Fire Elf King had become extremely fast after advancing in level, suddenly appearing out in the open after covering a great distance. He pretended to have suddenly noticed the few Abyssal Demons and let out a cry of alarm, turning to run in a fluster.
“Oh, a Burning Fire Elf?” Looking at the flustered Burning Fire Elf King who was wrapped in a ball of fire, an Abyssal Demon said excitedly, “I heard that the blood of a Burning Fire Elf is the tastiest. Quick, brothers, capture him, quick!”
“Hahaha, he’ll belong to whoever catches him, let’s see who’s faster!” Another Abyssal Demon laughed loudly, suddenly accelerating as he pushed toward the Burning Fire Elf King like a mountain. He was bored out of his mind after having patrolled the area for half a month. How would he bear to pass the chance to have some fun now that he had encountered a Burning Fire Elf said to have the tastiest blood?
With their numbers as an advantage and their strong abilities, the Abyssal Demons joked around with each other as they fearlessly chased after the Burning Fire Elf King. They got closer and closer to the Burning Fire Elf King who was deliberately slowing down, carelessly assuming that there was no one else around.
“Darn it, why would I encounter this many Evil Demons?” The Burning Fire Elf King pretended to be caught off guard, intentionally luring the Evil Demons the long way around, then toward the place where the group was lying in ambush. As a precaution, in order to prevent the speedy Evil Demons from catching up, he would frequently turn around and shoot out walls of raging fire, bringing down the speed of the Evil Demons.
“Hmph, there’s no way you can run, quick, split up and surround him!” The Evil Demon Leader in front let out a cold grunt, suddenly accelerating past the raging wall of fire as he ordered his subordinates to split up. They attempted to surround the Burning Fire Elf King, who was darting from side to side. The Evil Demon Leader was completely oblivious to the fact that he was getting closer and closer to the ambush of the group.
After intentionally suppressing the ripples of energy in their bodies, the Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group laid in ambush like a hibernating animal. Unless their abilities were far superior to that of the group’s or that they were closely sensing it when they were nearby, no one would be able to notice their tracks!
The cackling, fearless Abyssal Demons were completely oblivious to the fact that they already had one foot in the grave!
“Calm down, we must be calm, no one is to charge out without my orders!” Seeing that the powerful Abyssal Demons were getting closer and closer, lured in by the Burning Fire Elf King, the Corpse Wizard King forced himself to be calm. He was going to launch a fatal attack at the crucial moment and kill the Evil Demon Leader leading the group in one hit!
The abilities of the Evil Demon Leader were the most terrifying. As long as he could instantly kill him off, it would be much easier to deal with the other four Evil Demons!
“Hahaha, there’s no way you can escape, offer your Blood Essence and soul to the noble Cristo!” The Evil Demon Leader cackled loudly, pushing forcefully with his legs as he leaped high into the air. He sliced down toward the Burning Fire Elf King who was running away in a fluster.
Creak…
The giant scythe sliced through the air, its sharp blade aura creaking in the wind. The Burning Fire Elf King would definitely be heavily injured, if not die, if he was hit by the attack!
“Flame Shield!”
The eyes of the Burning Fire Elf King dilated when he turned back and saw the sharp blade aura released by the Evil Demon Leader, quickly casting the tortoise shell-like Flame Shield and creating a thick armor of flames around him. He accelerated suddenly, pouncing straight toward the shrubbery where the group was at.
The Abyssal Demons were powerful and were not something he alone could deal with. If he did not accelerate now, he might truly turn from bait into prey! Dying like that in the hands of the enemy would truly be unjust!
“Your speed is good, but unfortunately, you won’t be able to escape!”
After his attack missed, the Evil Demon Leader led the rest of the Evil Demons in relentless pursuit, clenching his teeth as he accelerated. He sliced his scythe down toward the back of the Burning Fire Elf King’s head. However, at the instant when he thought that his attack had connected, an intense ripple of energy came suddenly from amongst the trees, releasing a ring of incandescent red light!
