Chapter 858 Muddy Waters
Facing the questioning of the Thousand Illusions Demon King, the Red Lotus Overlord frowned slightly.
The Thousand Illusions Demon King opposite her is her old rival. Not only is he very powerful, but he is also extremely cunning. There may not be many demon slayers who have died directly at his hands, only a dozen or so. However, the number of demon slayers who have died indirectly at the hands of the Thousand Illusions Demon King is very likely to be as high as four digits, or even more.
There are rumors that in the entire northern land, more than 60% of the casualties among demon slayers can be attributed to the Thousand Illusions Demon King.
It can be said that the Thousand Illusions Demon King is the mortal enemy of the entire Demon Slayer organization, and every member of the Demon Slayer organization wants to get rid of the Thousand Illusions Demon King as soon as possible.
However, the Thousand Illusions Demon King was powerful and cunning. He did not confront the Demon Slayer's leader head-on, but instead used the terrain to tangle with him.
Moreover, every time the Thousand Illusion Demon King escaped, the other party would plan a large-scale operation against ordinary demon slayers, which made the demon slayers feel painful every time. It was precisely because of this hesitation that the top leaders of the demon slayers were afraid to act rashly.
Of course, in addition to this, Overlord Honglian also has a mortal feud with the Thousand Illusions Demon King. Her beloved disciple disappeared after entering Wuliang Mountain a year ago. Overlord Honglian believes that this matter is most likely related to the Thousand Illusions Demon King.
When Supervisor Honglian saw the Thousand Illusions Demon King appear in front of her, a hint of murderous intent arose in her heart.
"We must kill the Thousand Illusion Demon King here."
Overlord Honglian made a decision in his heart.
Thinking of this, the Red Lotus Supervisor smiled mischievously: "Qian Huan, I brought people here to search for my disciples. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, I just happen to be short of a colorful robe."
As Red Lotus Overlord spoke, he swung the long sword in his hand, and a red light slashed across. Seven or eight monsters had no time to dodge and were cut into two on the spot.
The behavior of Overlord Honglian was tantamount to slapping the Thousand Illusions Demon King in the face. The Thousand Illusions Demon King had to regain his face at all costs, otherwise it would be greatly disadvantageous for him to control other monsters in the future.
"How dare you slaughter my people in front of me? It seems that my demon race has been too peaceful these years, so you demon slayers look down on us. In this case, we demons will show our true strength. This matter starts with your life!"
As the Thousand Illusions Demon King spoke, he thrust the sword in his hand straight into the chest of Red Lotus Overlord.
Seeing this, Overlord Honglian raised the long sword in his hand to block, and the man and the demon stood together with their swords intersecting.
Upon seeing this, the remaining demon slayers and monsters also went after their opponents and started fighting. Their shouts and roars could be heard from far away.
Even Zhang Tuohai, who was soaking in a hot spring in a distant lake, heard it.
"What are these people doing?"
Zhang Tuohai was looking at the open space in the distance with a telescope. He could see countless demon slayers and demon beasts fighting each other, but he didn't understand why they were fighting.
Lilith also came over wrapped in a bath towel, looking at the battlefield in the distance with a telescope.
Mo Zi submerged most of her face in the water, leaving only her eyes exposed.
If the water level in the hot spring pool had not decreased in half a day, Zhang Tuohai would have thought that Mozi was secretly drinking the hot spring water.
They had originally planned to follow Mo Zi along the path across Wuliang Mountain and head directly to the underworld.
However, after walking around, Mo Zi couldn't walk anymore when she came to the hot spring pool. She really wanted to take a dip in the pool.
After testing, Lilith also discovered that the hot spring pool contained a large amount of luck. If one soaks in the hot spring for a long time, one can improve one's own luck. Perhaps, Mo Zi can also take this opportunity to take the final step and go from being a prospective heroine to becoming the heroine.
After Lilith's popularization, Zhang Tuohai also knew the rules of this big world.
Because they think they are relatively wealthy, when this kind of big world is evolving, it usually does not choose only one or two protagonists, but chooses a bunch of them, using the method of raising insects to let these protagonist candidates grow on their own. Who will be the protagonist in the end still depends on personal efforts.
Therefore, the step from prospective heroine to heroine is very important for Mo Zi.
There is even a possibility that if Mo Zi does not reach the heroine's luck when arriving in the underworld, it will directly trigger the inevitable death plot and cause death on the spot.
This is something Zhang Tuohai cannot accept.
No matter what, he had to ensure that Mo Zi could have the luck of a heroine. In other words, Mo Zi had to stay in the hot spring pool until her luck broke through that limit.
"Are these people coming to kill us?"
Zhang Tuohai felt a headache when he saw those aggressive demon slayers and monsters. The number of these people was too large. If it was a guerrilla war, Zhang Tuohai was not afraid. He could completely use the advantage of mobility to consume these people, even if the number of the enemy was ten times more.
However, what he needs to do now is to protect Luobo, which is a headache. He doesn't have any good AOE skills. Facing the group attack of so many people, it is very likely that he will lose sight of one thing while focusing on another, resulting in Mo Zi's failure to be promoted.
Therefore, what he needs to do now is to make these people too busy to pay attention to him, leaving Mo Zi enough time to complete the promotion.
"What should I do?"
Just as Zhang Tuohai was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Because he saw a team of black-armored knights coming to the edge of the Wuliang Mountain jungle.
This group of black-armored knights were dressed exactly the same as those led by Plague.
"It's you!"
When Zhang Tuohai saw those black-armored knights, he became interested. These black-armored knights were quite powerful. At first, he controlled hundreds of demon slayers to deal with those black-armored knights, but they suffered heavy losses. In the end, he had to self-destruct his demon-slaying sword to clear the obstacles.
"In that case, let me bring you in to resolve the crisis!"
Zhang Tuohai decided to bring these black-armored knights into the scene to muddy the water. When they started fighting, no one would be able to take care of them.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tuohai jumped out of the hot spring on the top of the mountain, and then walked towards the black-armored knight in the distance.
The leader of this group of black-armored knights was none other than one of the four demigod knights under Alaya - the Famine Knight.
Don't Starve has a ranged passive skill - Withering.
The effect of the skill is that wherever the Famine Knight passes, all plants within the circle centered on it will wither.
Even living beings made of flesh and blood will lose a lot of life and eventually turn into a pile of bones.
Only the undead are immune to this kind of damage.
Because his skills are too overbearing, Famine Knight usually does not enter the battlefield, but only guards certain forbidden areas in this world. However, because outsiders broke in, Plague Knight was afraid that he could not suppress them, so he called Famine out to help calm the situation.
Unfortunately, the plague died before the famine arrived, and the famine followed the trail and headed towards Wuliang Mountain .
It had just searched to the foot of Wuliang Mountain and was about to continue searching for traces when suddenly a black light flashed before its eyes and attacked it.
