"Damn it, just you wait, I’ll definitely lead a grand army to raze this place to the ground!"

The demon, charred and covered in soot, crawled out from a pile of corpses. Seeing the situation was beyond salvaging, he spat out a vicious threat and, like a madman, shot up into the sky, immediately attempting to flee into the distance.

"Trying to escape? You didn’t ask if I agree!"

Seeing the demon didn’t possess Instant Movement or similar teleportation skills, Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly ordered the Divine Phoenix to block the demon’s path. With the Divine Phoenix’s agility of 10 points, pursuing the demon hardly required any effort.

Soon, pressured by the Divine Phoenix, the demon couldn’t fight back and had no escape. In the end, the Divine Phoenix caught him by the Pair of Wings and, like a prisoner, escorted him back to their territory.

"Heh, little skeleton boy, you’ve got some skills, capturing a demon alive!"

The crafty trader, Yin Si, smirked sinisterly, "So, what do you plan to do with this demon?"

After speaking, Yin Si glanced at the old beggar in the distance, who seemed to want to come closer but dared not, his intention obvious without saying a word.

"Mr. Yin Si, do you have a way to deal with this demon’s heart issue?"

Understanding the trader’s insinuation, Su Ran was overjoyed and asked eagerly. If they could bring Dog Egg back, it would be a cause for national celebration!

"There is a way, but..."

The trader’s words were abruptly cut off by the demon.

"Hahaha, what a pity, you think you can deal with me? It’s not that simple!"

The demon’s heart was thumping wildly, sensing danger as if something perilous was about to happen. He did not want to stay there for another second.

"Demonic Dispersion, activate!"

At the demon’s roaring command, his heart contracted, and his entire body transformed into a black stream of air. Breaking free from the Divine Phoenix’s grasp, he split into hundreds of figures that landed and transformed into smaller demons. They didn’t linger for battle but instead frantically fled towards the village outskirts.

"This is bad!"

Su Ran realized the crafty demon was trying to escape amidst the chaos. It was troublesome because he had no idea which one was the real body, leaving him unable to intervene, and could only watch helplessly as the horde of demons fled toward the village entrance.

But the reality was so full of twists. To Su Ran’s astonishment, one of the demon’s bad luck moments inadvertently triggered the last Magic Trap, the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal.

"Whoosh!"

The magic trap set by Little Stone proved to be effective at a critical moment. In an instant, most of the village area was covered in ice crystals, and all the demons were frozen solid, one by one, like sculptures, unable to move.

Due to the demon spreading his energy too thin, his strength was significantly reduced, and this allowed the Magic Trap to create a miraculous effect, greatly prolonging the duration of control.

"Haha, even the heavens are helping me! Dog Egg, you better come back obediently to my bowl!"

Su Ran laughed heartily. He didn’t rush to deal with the frozen demons, but instead jogged over to the Guardian Thunder Tower and spent 40,000 Underworld Coins to refresh the electric protective shield.

Although the 40,000 Underworld Coins made Su Ran wince, compared to capturing this demon, it was an absolute bargain!

However, just as Su Ran stepped out of the Guardian Thunder Tower, the ice seal effect had already vanished, and all the demons regained their mobility. But due to the presence of the electric net protective shield, these hundreds of demons were trapped inside the village.

"Damn it!"

All the demons shouted in unison, "Don’t get cocky, you’ll never find my true body!"

After saying that, the large group of demons scattered in all directions, turning the village into a place of utter chaos.

"Dog Egg, why do you put yourself through this..."

The old beggar sighed deeply, shaking his head with a look of sorrow. He was afraid of causing trouble for the lord and turned back to his dwelling, his gaze fixed anxiously on the area outside the village, hoping dearly that his wayward child would mend his ways and return to his roots. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Finding your true body is easy, just kill you all until it appears!"

Yin Si chuckled, transforming into a phantom and attacking the demons that were running everywhere. Due to the vast difference in strength, it only took a moment before more than a dozen demons met a grisly end, dissipating into wisps of black mist.

"Yah!"

The Drought Fiend brandished the Hit Dog Whip, lashing out at the group of demons, the vicious strikes of the whip wreaking havoc among them. Several demons couldn’t even muster a defense and were slain by the ferocity of the Hit Dog Whip.

As for the Divine Phoenix, it was essentially just a card beast with only one skill, Fiery Skies, which had a cooldown time of 300 seconds; at this point, it could only use basic attacks against the demons. However, with its super-high agility, the speed of its attacks was quite fast.

Meanwhile, Su Ran took the opportunity to hide in a house, with no desire whatsoever to join the battle. Su Ran was self-aware; with his small stature and low health and defense, being surrounded by such a group of demons would be nothing short of suicide.

During these intensely chaotic moments, as if on cue, the Magic Camp opened, and a large number of skeleton guards emerged, and soon there were a thousand. The appearance of this large troop of skeletons almost filled the village. It left the demons with hardly any room to maneuver, forcing them to desperately counterattack and engage in a fight to the death with the skeleton guards.

"Haha, these skeleton guards arrived just in time!"

Seeing the thousand undead skeletons join the chase felt like a reassurance for Su Ran, who sighed in relief internally, thinking that the effort expended on those thousand bodies hadn’t been in vain. Clever demons, let’s see how you escape now!

Just a moment ago, Su Ran was worried that if the electric net protective shield disappeared, there would be no way to stop the demons from escaping. Thankfully, the skeleton guards he had converted earlier appeared just in time, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

With the substantial addition of the skeleton guards, the demons’ avatars were wiped out, and their weakened true forms were exposed. It didn’t take long before they were completely subdued by the Divine Phoenix, unable to break free.

"Lord Yin Si, how can we solve the problem of this demon heart?"

Seeing that the situation was under control, Su Ran hurried out of the house and sped to Yin Si, asking the question once again.

After all, his trump card, the Divine Phoenix, had only a few minutes of life left; if the phoenix disappeared, it would indeed be difficult to subdue the demon...

"There is a way,"

Yin Si paused, naturally accepting the five Underworld Coins passed over by Su Ran, then continued, "Find a way to induce spasms in the demon heart, causing its blood flow to become chaotic. Only in this way can Dog Egg’s consciousness return to its original body!"

"Hahahaha, aiming for the demon heart? That’s utterly ludicrous!"

The demon roared with laughter, as if hearing the biggest joke in the world, the contempt in its voice thick, "This demon heart is the source of a demon’s power, the most solid core, not even diamonds can compare! As long as the heart is not weak, the demon will not perish. I truly want to see how you intend to deal a heavy blow to this demon heart!"
