Chapter 442 Targeting
Looking at the demon that was frozen into crystal and the anger that was gradually cooling down.
The demon, whose only head could move, glared fiercely at Xia Daiti and the other two who were walking over.
The reason why Xia Daiti did not intervene in their fight was not only to let the two of them try the fusion state, but also because she was not really suitable to catch these demons.
She was definitely good at beating and killing these demons, but it would be difficult for her to capture them alive.
In this regard, Jason and the other two are obviously very suitable.
"What a pity! That demon was too fragile and didn't survive." Jason couldn't help but complain as he looked at the demon's corpse that was still nailed to the ground by a thick crystal spike.
Xia Daiti silently looked at the huge hole in the corpse. The crystal spikes almost filled the waist and abdomen.
Moreover, the power of the crystal spikes had obviously invaded the demon's body. If the demon could survive, it would be too strong, as it was almost cut in half.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the giant axe demon in front of him that was frozen like a statue.
The demon's eyes were wide open and his mouth was open. One could feel the smell of sulfur and heat about to burst out of his mouth.
Seeing this situation, Xia Daiti clenched his fist and punched through the air.
The shock wave caused by the compressed air hit the demon's face hard.
“Cough cough… cough”
The violent coughing interrupted the lava ray that was originally intended to be spit out to attack them. As he coughed, a large amount of lava was also burned by him.
The violent collision even caused some of the demon's teeth to explode, leaving a mouthful of blood. The nose, which was already a bit strange, was directly hit under the face.
Looking at this miserable appearance, Jason couldn't help but make a sad expression.
"Why did you mess with her?" Jason complained and looked at the devil.
"Did the Devouring Mouth send you here?"
"Kill me, you ants!"
The demon growled and obviously had no intention of answering them.
"Why bother? I know that if I kill you, your soul will return to the abyss, and then you will come back to this world to cause trouble.
If you don't tell me, I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture and leave you here as a sight for people to come and go. Then the civilians here will admire you every day, admiring you, a defeated demon.
By then, your name will spread all over here, and even to the demons. Maybe those demons will want to come and see what you look like."
Obviously, these words did not scare the demon at all, he just curled his lips in disdain.
"It's strange, isn't it? Didn't you notice? You have been deceived by the Devouring Mouth.
Otherwise, why are there only three of you attacking us? He should have told you that we have a lot of people.
Only you three were defeated so easily by us even in a one-on-one fight, let alone facing all of us.
Obviously he just wants you to die, and if you keep the secret for him, wouldn't that be exactly what he wants?
Maybe that cunning guy is sitting in his palace right now, watching your ugly appearance and chatting and laughing with the demons around you. "After thinking for a while, Jason tried to persuade again.
This time, the demon in front of him was obviously defeated.
He roared angrily, cursing in some strange, harsh and uncomfortable language.
Jason heard it, it seemed to be the language of the abyss, the whispering from the outside world.
I've heard about it from Lucelia before.
But this language is too chaotic and unsystematic to be learned unless one is born in the abyss.
Even if Lucelia came, she might only be able to understand the general idea.
“That damn guy told us that your strength is only at the fourth stage of this world.
At best, your leader might reach the fifth stage, allowing us to kill you without worry.
We don't even need to kill all of you, even if we kill just one, we can still get his reward."
As he said this, he roared angrily again. How could this be the fifth stage? The strength of any of the targets was at the fifth stage.
Forget the fifth stage. Obviously, the people in front of them had more than one treasure, and they were very powerful. They were completely suppressed and had no chance to fight back.
Only if the three of them attack together can they possibly kill one of the people who are left alone.
This was a blatant deception, tricking them into coming here to die, at least that was how he saw it.
Maybe the Devouring Mouth itself didn't expect this.
Who could have imagined this? The last time I saw them, they were indeed in the fourth stage, and it has not been long since then, only about three years at most.
For a demon like the Devouring Mouth that has survived from the golden age, three years is not much different from three days and three months.
"Forget it, you can't give any information. You're just a fool who was deceived." Jason cursed casually and waved his hand.
The crystal froze him in his angry roar, completely encasing him in the crystal, sealing him into a crystal ice sculpture.
In fact, there was nothing to ask. They just needed to know that the Devouring Mouth knew they had arrived and was already targeting them.
"Someone else is coming."
Xia Daiti had not turned off his detection wave, and when he sensed something, he spoke immediately.
Jason and the other man were so scared that they immediately prepared for a fight, and then looked in the direction Xia Daiti said. However, what came from there were not demons, but several huge bird-like creatures flying in the sky.
Looking closely, there was still a human sitting on the bird.
A giant white bird, covered in strong armor and looking like an eagle, stopped in front of them as it flapped its wings.
This seems to be a whole team of bird knights.
There were six people in total, and one of the knights was holding a banner with a pattern of the Seed of Life on it, and a simplified flying eagle on the other.
The human figure on the bird's back was wearing light armor, with a long sword on his waist and a very long bow on his back.
There are also two quivers hanging from the sides of the bird.
He jumped down and first looked at the battlefield around him, and immediately saw the different ways in which the three demons died.
He took off his helmet.
A head of long greenish hair was revealed, and a pair of pointed ears protruded from between the hair.
This is a woman with a slender figure.
She looked at the three Xia Daiti people in front of her who were alert.
"Did you kill these demons?" Julia said using the same language she had used before.
It is the official language of the Sea of Life.
Obviously, this is the military force from the Seed of Life.
Xia Daiti and others relaxed their vigilance slightly, thinking that it should be a patrolling force or something.
Xia Daiti nodded.
“It seems that they are coming for you, and they have sent many demon teams to harass you, attracting our attention.
Sorry we're a little late, is anyone injured?"
This knight had a better attitude.
Hearing this, Xia Daiti shook his head.
"Without these demons, wouldn't it be enough to cause any casualties to us?" Xia Daiti said. Hearing this, the female bird knight looked at the demons next to her.
These demons are fairly well-known for their appearance, and they can all be considered strong on the battlefield.
After looking around, I indeed saw no one else except the three people in front of me.
Moreover, these three people did not have any scars on their bodies, and their clothes were even very decent. It was obvious that the battle just now did not make them too embarrassed.
It can even be said that it is somewhat comfortable for them.
It is confirmed that the three people in front of me are all strong.
"That's good. This was an oversight on our part."
Then he looked at the demon behind Xiadaiti that was frozen into crystal.
"If you don't mind, could you please hand over this captured demon to us? Maybe we can get some information from his brain."
Hearing this, Xia Daiti turned to look at Jason and the others. Seeing them nod, she also nodded and said, "Please do as you please."
This demon really meant nothing to them.
If it weren't for this team of knights, they would really turn this demon into an ice sculpture and leave it standing there, provoking the Mouth of the Abyss.
"Thank you for your help. The Seed of Life will remember your kindness."
As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him, and the soldiers behind him jumped off the birds and began to carry the demon sealed in the crystal.
During the transportation, a female soldier wearing a helmet kept tilting her head to look at Xia Daiti.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Xia Daiti felt the gaze and asked the female knight.
The female knight was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, and the captain who had just communicated with Xia Daiji was also looking at her.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to say, “I seem to have seen her in my dream.
There were demons back then.”
Hearing this, the captain turned around and looked at Xia Daiti carefully. Then he suddenly realized something.
He said, "Excuse me, are you the Compass Eye treasure hunting team?" Hearing this, Xia Daiti did not hide it and nodded in admission.
"Ah, it's you guys. It looks like these demons are the Devouring Mouths that came out to target you."
Obviously she knew Xia Daiti and the others, and even knew some of their conflicts with the Devouring Mouth.
"Why do you know us? We shouldn't be that famous yet," Jason asked curiously.
Obviously, the team of knights in front of them not only knew their team name, but also knew about the grudge between them and the Devouring Mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, because the female knight just mentioned dreams.
"We have had that dream before. We saw you foiling the Devourer's conspiracy outside the island and making him look disgraced.
A few years ago, we often dreamed about it.
And according to the team leader and the high priest, this should be true.
So you really foiled the Devourer's plot in your dream? Make him look like a fool."
At this point, the captain's tone was somewhat curious and excited.
Xia Daiti nodded. This was obviously not something worth hiding.
And now they understood why the Devouring Mouth hated them so much. Even these ordinary knights knew it in their dreams, and it was obvious that almost everyone in this place knew it.
On the front battlefield, the Devouring Mouth would definitely appear from time to time. In this case, as soon as the fight started, the opponent would use this incident to taunt him, and he had no words to refute.
Maybe it's not just his opponents, but your devilish personalities, even his companions and even his subordinates, may secretly laugh at him somewhere.
In this case, he had no choice but to kill Alka himself. Only by taking their heads and souls could he refute the insults against him.
No wonder the Devouring Mouth cares so much about them.
This hatred has inexplicably become so great.
…
Alka walked along the winding city walls, most of which were surrounded by plants similar to coral vines.
These plants are obviously not ordinary plants. They are covered with poisonous thorns and are very tough.
It should be a defensive move by the Seed of Life.
He followed behind the two demon hunters and could already see from afar a building with a flat roof similar to a tower where the city wall extended.
Through the mountains that blocked his view, the top of the city wall appeared.
The two demon hunters quickened their pace and said a few words to Alka: "We are almost there, just ahead."
The three of them ran quickly and could already see some people on the city wall who were dressed somewhat similar to the witchers.
And he stared at Alka who was following behind the two of them with some curiosity.
After finally going around a protruding cliff, Alka finally saw the Demon Hunting Fortress.
The entire fortress was built on a steep mountain.
The towers of the fortress are directly attached to the cliff wall.
At the top of the mountain, one can also see some huge city defense structures, with city walls and towers standing in rows, various elite soldiers, and defense equipment covering the entire area.
The defense here is like steel.
Alka had seen layer upon layer of various defensive spells posted everywhere.
On the top of the main tower of the Demon Hunting Fortress, one can see a huge gray-purple gem, which is emitting a strange light. The light is flowing around in a winding line.
But Alka could sense that it was some kind of energy that was probably protecting the Demon Hunting Fortress.
Passing through the base of the tower on the city wall, Alka officially entered the range of the Demon Hunting Fortress.
Two soldiers in black armor immediately stopped in front of Alka.
These two soldiers were obviously not pure humans. They had some more or less strange structures on their bodies and were obviously subspecies of humans.
He looked at Alka and asked seriously, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
One of the two demon hunters who had been coming with Alka and the others said, "We brought him here. He wants to find the High Judge."
Hearing this, the soldier looked at Alka seriously, as if he was ready to continue questioning him.
At this time, a low and serious voice came from behind them.
"Get out of the way, he's my guest."
Hearing this voice, the surrounding soldiers and the two demon hunters immediately bowed their heads and saluted: "Your Excellency the High Judge."
The Demon Hunter, who had met Alka once before, walked over from the cleared aisle .
"Long time no see, why did you come directly here?"
Alka didn't say much, reached into the space, then took out a box containing treasures and handed it over.
"Thank you for your help before. I'm here to return the borrowed items in person."
The Demon Hunter took it, opened it, took a look, nodded, and then handed it to an adjutant who was following behind him.
"You just need to give it to your archbishop, and he will naturally deliver it to me. There is no need for you to go there in person."
Hearing this, Alka shook his head and said with a smile: "Like you said before, I became curious about this place, and there is no safe place outside except here, so we came here."
Hearing this, Grayfar didn't say much, but nodded. He could understand.
In his position, he obviously knew a lot of things, including how much the Devouring Mouth hated Alka and the others.
Because even he would use this matter to mock the Devouring Mouth, and more than once.
Being targeted by such a cunning, disgusting, and non-devil-like creature, it would be dangerous to run around outside.
It would be safer to stay either on an island with a church or in a place like this that faces the mouth of the devourer.
"It's a wise choice, but are you alone? Not with your companions?" Grayfar asked curiously.
After all, this demon doesn't care about these things.
"No, they are in the port city. I came here alone first."
Greyfar nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, a dull and sharp horn sounded, and the sound that pierced the air penetrated their ears.
As the sound rang out, the soldiers on the city walls and everywhere immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
Grayfar obviously didn't have time to chat with Arka, so he said, "Those demons are attacking again. You go into the fortress first."
"Can I follow along on this? I've never seen anything like this."
Hearing this, Greyfar glanced at him and nodded: "Sararo, you take him with you."
Then he turned to look at Alka and said, "Follow him. He will explain to you some of the rules here. Don't attack recklessly. Fight with the army."
Alka nodded to show that he understood. Of course he would not attack without knowing anything.
After saying that, Greyfar left quickly.
Alka turns his head.
From where he was standing, he could already see a large patch of red in the distance, and the demons were rushing towards him.
