This simple, brute-force plan might work on others, but it was just a little short for the demon dragon.
While the plan started off smoothly, and thanks to the first-strike advantage of the surprise attack, Bai Qi and others did put considerable pressure on the demon dragon, this advantage did not last long.
Seeing that it was no match for them, the demon dragon made a decisive choice to flee without any hesitation. Bai Qi and others wanted to stop it, but the demon dragon, having absorbed Xi Mu's power, was too fast. After taking several attacks from Bai Qi and others, it successfully escaped.
With the first ambush failing, Bai Qi and others not only lost the initiative, but the demon dragon also became more vigilant than before. For the next while, it was on guard everywhere, giving Bai Qi no opportunity.
Even when Bai Qi later led his team in an attempt to kill it, the demon dragon discovered them long before they could act. Upon discovering Bai Qi and the others, the demon dragon did not set traps or counterattack, but chose to escape directly. After all, as long as there was no confrontation, there was no possibility of being defeated.
The result was a cycle of Bai Qi and others pursuing again and again, and the demon dragon escaping again and again.
This cycle continued until recently, when Bai Qi fought with Da She.
In Bai Qi's view, that was still a very ordinary pursuit. They obtained the demon dragon's exact location and immediately set off.
Unsurprisingly, they encountered the demon dragon's pre-set traps again, exposing their whereabouts. However, unlike previous times when the demon dragon showed no intention of fighting, but chose to escape directly, this time should have been the same.
Repeated victories without a fight had made the three men’s minds dull and complacent.
They had expected the demon dragon to flee at the first sign of trouble this time, but the outcome was beyond their expectations. The demon dragon not only showed no intention of fleeing, but remained in place, as if waiting for them.
Yong Huo sensed that something was wrong and told the two that it might be a trap. However, the two, blinded by their consecutive victories, did not listen at all. In Bai Qi's opinion, the demon dragon was not as powerful as their father had said; it was just a weak and timid coward.
Therefore, this time, they ignored Yong Huo's persuasion and, with their subordinates, launched a full-scale assault on the house where the demon dragon was located.
When everyone rushed into the house, they all fell into the trap that the demon dragon had meticulously set for them.
The demon dragon was seen standing in front of a wall covered with fans, with its arms crossed, looking smugly at Bai Qi and the others, with the demeanor of a victor.
"Demon dragon, you think you can't escape? Surrender and come back with me, and you'll suffer less."
Facing Bai Qi's undisguised threat, if it were in the past, the demon dragon might have immediately packed up and left without conflict, but this time was different. The demon dragon not only did not flee, but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, my foolish sister, your consecutive victories have blinded you, making you fall into my trap without realizing it."
In this room, not only was there a wall of fans, but also piles of cardboard boxes, large and small, stacked like small mountains around.
At the demon dragon's command, hideous, ghoul-like humanoid creatures jumped out of these boxes. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Ghoul demons?"
Seeing these humanoid monsters around, the knowledgeable Yong Huo immediately called out their names.
Ghoul demons were a variant of ghouls. Although both were dark creatures transformed from corpses, unlike ghouls that must constantly feed on corpses to survive, ghoul demons belonged to another extreme. They did not need to eat, and their attributes far surpassed those of ghouls. However, they lost the ability to infect, and their lifespan was reduced to one month.
No matter how strong a ghoul demon was, it would die within a month.
Do you think the demon dragon was being chased by Bai Qi and the others all this time?
Of course not. The demon dragon's goal was very clear. Every action it took was to collect materials for making ghoul demons. When Bai Qi and the others came, it pretended to be afraid to confront them and fled in disarray.
Now, after being suppressed for so long, the demon dragon had finally collected all the materials and created its own army of ghoul demons.
Counting roughly, there were more than thirty ghoul demons hidden in these cardboard boxes.
In terms of numbers alone, the demon dragon now had an absolute advantage.
"My army, attack!"
With a command from the demon dragon, the eagerly waiting ghoul demons swarmed forward, roaring to tear Bai Qi and the others to shreds.
"You think these mediocre creatures can defeat me? That's a pipe dream."
What was Bai Qi's strength? Let alone thirty ghoul demons, even thirty mountain demons would not be enough for Bai Qi to handle.
And so, facing the charging army of ghoul demons, Bai Qi teleported in front of the leading ghoul demon. Her speed was so fast that before the ghoul demon could react, her tender little hand grabbed its head and instantly unleashed immense force, slamming it to the ground.
With the addition of immense force, the ghoul demon's head exploded the moment it hit the ground, without any surprise.
The two ghoul demons beside them tried to flank her. The next moment, Bai Qi grabbed both of their heads, one in each hand, and threw them away, crashing against the wall and becoming two splatters of paste.
While Bai Qi was slaughtering her way through with her formidable physical strength, Rem and Yong Huo also had their own ways of dealing with the ghoul demons in front of them. However, the special forces who cooperated with each other were not so lucky.
To increase the difficulty of Bai Qi's mission, Bai Qi had actually given her the special forces, who were just recruits who had recently graduated from the training camp. Although they knew some magic and were good with firearms, they had never fought against dark creatures.
The team members, lacking combat experience, were now facing ghoul demons that had been meticulously trained by the demon dragon. At first, they could resist with magic and firearms, but as time went on, the team members could no longer hold on and were chased everywhere by the numerous ghoul demons.
Yong Huo and Rem also noticed the miserable state of the team and wanted to go back to help, but the ghoul demons in front of them were relentless, giving them no chance to rescue the team.
As for Bai Qi, she had also noticed. However, several consecutive failures had made Bai Qi lose her patience. Moreover, in her opinion, these ghoul demons were controlled by the demon dragon. As long as the demon dragon was killed, the uncontrolled ghoul demons would be completely vulnerable.
Bai Qi's idea was good, and her judgment was correct. As long as the demon dragon was killed, the combat effectiveness of the leaderless ghoul demon horde would indeed be greatly reduced. However, the only mistake she made was underestimating the demon dragon's survivability.
