Chapter 1 The Monsters are Not Alone

As that deep voice echoed from the forest, the expressions on the faces of the three major adventurer teams turned grim and solemn, especially the three leaders who were entangled with Huo Wu, their faces ashen.

"There's more than one monster?"

Feng Zhihui watched the magic barrier in mid-air gradually dissipate, his expression extremely grave.

He knew very well the strength of the magic barrier. It was maintained by eighty-eight magic-type players. Even if a Tier 4 legendary monster attacked from the outside, it wouldn't be able to break it in just a few hits.

But now it had shattered with a single blow!

The only possibility was that there was another monster on the other side, and it was very strong, definitely comparable to a Tier 4 legendary monster, even stronger than the Huo Wu in front of them.

"Two monsters in one team, who the hell are they?" Naihe Yixiao frowned as well, never expecting that there was another monster in the opposing team.

They were already struggling to suppress Huo Wu alone with their combined strength. If another one appeared, they would have a hard time holding on.

"What's there to fear? So what if there's another monster!" Hu Yu Piaoluo said firmly, "Don't forget we have over five thousand people on our side. Besides the three of us, there are also seven Demon Viscounts, plus nearly a hundred Demon Barons. Surely we can deal with just one person?"

The reason why only the three of them had been fighting was simply to see how far they could go against a monster, and ordinary Tier 3 experts interfering in their level of combat might even backfire, only adding to the casualties.

But if they faced two monsters, they could have others intercept them, even if they couldn't kill them, it could buy them a lot of time, giving them enough time to kill Huo Wu.

In the end, they would still win, it would just mean the team would suffer some losses.

"True, but it looks like we're going to lose money on this operation." Naihe Yixiao nodded, then said to his subordinates in the distance, "Canghai, you take the main force to intercept them now, and remember to stall for as much time as possible!"

"Yes!" a Tier 3 shield warrior in the distance responded.

"Mantuan, you lead a team too!" Hu Yu Piaoluo also said to a Tier 3 female dark druid in the team.

"Duxin, you lead the team on our side." Feng Zhihui couldn't help but look at the masked assassin and said, "If it really comes down to it, use *that*. Just don't let the monster get close!"

"Use *that*?" The masked Tier 3 assassin was instantly excited when he heard this. "If I use that thing, I guarantee he won't be able to get within half a step!"

After Feng Zhihui finished speaking, Hu Yu Piaoluo and Naihe Yixiao couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

"No way! Lao Feng, did you buy that thing that was auctioned off at the intermediate auction house last time?" Hu Yu couldn't help but ask.

Their adventurer teams knew each other pretty well. If there was anything that could easily stop those monster-level experts,

The only thing she could think of was an item that had appeared at an auction in Demon City.

The remnant soul of Satan!

That was a real treasure that could turn a player into a Tier 4 Great Demon for a short period of time, and not just any transformation, but one that could master all the magic skills of a Tier 4 Great Demon.

Unfortunately, this state could only be maintained for a short half an hour.

But even so, it still drove all the demon players crazy.

Not to mention the increase in strength brought by the transformation into a Tier 4 Great Demon, the simple fact that it was a remnant soul of Satan was of considerable benefit to demon players, allowing them to use the power of demons better, which would be of great help to the subsequent promotion to the rank of viscount, and it also had considerable deterrence to the major forces in Demon City. After all, if pushed too far and this move was used, the consequences were definitely not something demon players wanted to bear, and even large adventurer teams like theirs would be the same.

Back then, the major forces in Demon City had been frantically bidding for that treasure, and the currency for the transaction was not ordinary gold coins, but demon crystals, which was also the standard trading currency for intermediate auctions in Demon City.

In the end, it was sold for a sky-high price of more than a thousand demon crystals, but the person who obtained this remnant soul of Satan did not reveal their identity, and it had always been a topic of discussion among the major forces in Demon City.

Naihe Yixiao on the side couldn't help but look at Feng Zhihui, his eyes also showing a hint of surprise.

He didn't expect that the Fengya Adventurer Team had been hiding this card all along. If they fought, the consequences would be unimaginable, but it had to be said that having the Fengya Adventurer Team as a partner now made people feel unspeakably relieved and at ease.

"Yes, to get this thing, we used up almost all of our adventurer team's assets." Feng Zhihui said with a hint of pride, "Originally, I wanted to use it to deal with a high-level legendary Boss, but it's not bad to be able to wipe out this wave of invaders, but let me say this first, any equipment dropped by invaders killed by Duxin in his transformed state as a Tier 4 Great Demon will all belong to our Fengya."

"Since you've already made such a big sacrifice, we naturally won't take advantage of you, you can rest assured about that." Naihe Yixiao nodded.

"That's right, we don't want any of the items dropped by the Great Demon, it would be even better if we could kill those two monsters together." Hu Yu Piaoluo also smiled.

At this point, the combined strength of the three of them was only enough to suppress Huo Wu.

Previously, with the magic barrier, they were confident that they could kill Huo Wu, but now that the magic barrier had disappeared, there was nothing they could do if Huo Wu wanted to escape.

If Duxin, transformed into a Great Demon, could kill two monsters at once, then that would be great, after all, monster-level experts were a threat in the wild that was not ordinary, especially those who killed one person and then turned around and ran away, they were simply a nightmare in the wild.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Feng Zhihui said upon hearing this, then said to Duxin, "Since the two leaders have said so, Duxin, just use it directly!"

Although the remnant soul of Satan was very precious, and it was unlikely that they would see it at an auction again in the future, if they could exchange it for the weapons and equipment dropped by those monster-level players, the deal would not be considered a loss.

In God's Domain, monster-level experts, apart from inheritance and special bloodlines, were largely able to crush top experts because of the superb weapons and equipment they possessed. If they could obtain one of them, it would be considered not a loss. If they could obtain a key weapon or piece of equipment, then they would be rich, after all, the value of such weapons and equipment was far higher than that of the remnant soul of Satan.

Hearing what Feng Zhihui said, Duxin Lengshou immediately became excited, and then took out a black bottle from his backpack and began to unseal the seal inside.

Originally, this remnant soul of Satan was also prepared for his promotion to Second-Star Viscount, but the remnant soul of Satan was too precious, and unless it was necessary, to achieve two goals with one move, this remnant soul of Satan could only be put away.

Now that the opportunity had come, he naturally would not be polite.

In an instant, Duxin Lengshou, who was unsealing the black bottle, directly doubled in size, and jet-black fiery wings grew out from his back. The terrifying power caused the surrounding demon players to submit involuntarily.

"So strong! Is this the power of a Tier 4 Great Demon?" Duxin Lengshou couldn't help but say as he felt his new body.

Power!

Absolute power!

This feeling of omnipotence completely intoxicated him and made him unable to extricate himself.

"Sure enough, he's amazing! Now, even if we don't do anything, I'm afraid he can directly kill everyone on the other side!" Naihe Yixiao watched Duxin Lengshou, whose magic power soared to the sky and looked like a demon king descending, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Duxin, I'll leave the rest to you, remember to make a quick decision, we can't hold on here for too long!" Feng Zhihui chanted magic to entangle Huo Wu, while instructing Duxin Lengshou.

"Leave it to me, leader, they're definitely dead!"

Duxin Lengshou smiled confidently, then his wings shook, and in an instant, he rushed into the forest in the distance where the sound came from. His speed was so fast that the Tier 2 demon players present didn't react at all before he disappeared from everyone's sight.

"So fast!"

"Those invaders are dead for sure!"

The members of the three major adventurer teams watched Duxin Lengshou disappear, all clicking their tongues, and couldn't help but feel sympathy for Shi Feng and the others who had invaded the Burning Forest.

If it was before the Zhanlang Guild's subjugation of Demon City, and Shi Feng and the others came over, their three major adventurer teams might not have been a match.

But after the battle of the Zhanlang Guild, their three major adventurer teams had eaten and drunk their fill, and their strength had undergone qualitative changes. Coupled with Duxin Lengshou, who had transformed into a Great Demon, even if the Zhanlang Guild came again, the result would be the same, let alone a mere team of three hundred people?

"What a pity, it seems like your companion is dead for sure!" Hu Yu Piaoluo smiled as she watched Huo Wu while wielding her double axes.

"I think it's better for your companion to fend for himself!" Huo Wu rolled her eyes at Hu Yu Piaoluo and shook her head, "Besides, you've been mistaken about one thing from the beginning."

"Mistaken about one thing? What thing?" Hu Yu Piaoluo asked curiously.

"That assassin who died wasn't killed by me at all, I haven't even seen that assassin before." Huo Wu said slowly, "I just came to pick up the loot."

As soon as Huo Wu finished speaking, the faces of Hu Yu Piaoluo and the other two who were entangled with Huo Wu suddenly changed drastically.

"What do you mean?"

"Qixiu wasn't killed by you?"

"Then the monster Qixiu was talking about isn't you?"

After Huo Wu finished speaking, the three of them almost simultaneously thought of the words Qixiu said before his death.

Monster… Run!

If Huo Wu hadn't seen Qixiu before this, then it couldn't have been Huo Wu who killed Qixiu, which meant that the monster Qixiu was talking about was someone else.

But before Feng Zhihui and the other three could react, they heard a series of explosions coming from the forest not far away, the ground trembled, and then a huge figure flew out of the forest and crashed heavily into a tree not far away, and the tree collapsed with a bang.

And this huge figure was none other than Duxin Lengshou, who had just flown over…
