Chapter 1 The Silent Valley

In front of the silent great canyon, as Shi Feng approached the entrance to the next area, still over a thousand yards away, he suddenly felt a surge of pressure, like a tide washing over him.

This was completely different from the pressure he had faced before, a qualitative change.

Even though Shi Feng was now a Tier 2 class, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his body were submerged in water, making him feel unwell all over.

"The pressure is this strong even from a thousand yards away?" Shi Feng looked incredulously at the huge figure displayed on the detection crystal ball.

The figure in the crystal ball was huddled at the entrance of the canyon. It had the head of an antelope and a humanoid body, like a half-goat man, but its tail was a giant snake. It possessed demonic wings, and its breath exhaled scorching flames, turning the ground black and charred.

"No way! A High Demon!" Shi Feng was stunned for a moment as he looked at the figure.

In God's Domain, there were many demonic creatures, and besides their strength, they were also divided by bloodline. To a large extent, demons were judged based on their bloodline, with demons of noble bloodline leading the others.

Of course, the more noble the demon's bloodline, the higher its growth potential, and the stronger it would become in the future. Many Demon Kings were High Demons, and ordinary demons rarely grew into Tier 5 Demon Kings, let alone Tier 6 Demon Gods.

These demons with noble bloodlines were known as High Demons. They were a level higher than the Primordial species in terms of life level, and their combat power was naturally beyond question. Perhaps only the Dragon race of the same tier or ancient ferocious beasts could overpower them. They were not comparable to the ordinary demons he summoned.

Now, this High Demon leading a group of demons was actually a guardian...

Because the distance was too far, the detection crystal ball could not detect the distance data. However, as Shi Feng approached within 600 yards, the High Demon's data appeared before Shi Feng's eyes.

Baphomet, High Demon, High Grand Lord, Level 73, HP 120 million.

"A Level 73 High Grand Lord?" Shi Feng fell into deep thought as he looked at the data.

Compared to other Primordial species, High Demons had much less HP, but 120 million HP was still terrifying for him. Its combat recovery alone was 1% every five seconds, instantly recovering 1.2 million HP. If the damage per second was less than 240,000, Baphomet would be invincible.

The only fortunate thing was that Baphomet was a demon, and all demons were suppressed by the Book of Darkness.

Although he couldn't directly turn a High Demon like Baphomet into a subordinate through the Book of Darkness, he could weaken Baphomet's basic attributes, and this weakening was absolute. It wouldn't be like other magic arrays, where the weakening effect decreased as the monster got stronger.

But a High Demon was still a High Demon. Not only in terms of basic attributes, but also in terms of the magic skills and combat level it possessed, it was not comparable to ordinary demons.

"I can only risk it." Shi Feng gritted his teeth, then took out an ancient scroll from his backpack and summoned the third Ancient Hero once again.

Although Zero Wing City's defenses were not comparable to ordinary guild cities, and it was guarded by the Four Element Tower, the current situation was different from before. The Fiends and Demonic Beasts surging towards the Star-Moon Kingdom were extraordinary. If they broke through the kingdom army's defense network, the Fiends and Demonic Beasts facing Zero Wing City would not be just a few, but would rush at Zero Wing City like a tide.

Shi Feng was not sure whether Zero Wing City could hold on against such a Fiend army controlled by NPCs.

But if he could obtain the Lost Town before that and get the many magic weapons stored in the Lost Town, it would undoubtedly greatly increase Zero Wing Guild's strength, and he would be much more confident in facing the Fiend army.

Faced with the High Demon Baphomet, Shi Feng did not rush to let the three demons charge up. Instead, he waited for all of Anna's skill cooldowns to recover, and then had the three Ancient Heroes use one buff magic after another on everyone. This instantly boosted the attributes of the three demons and the Golden Giant, who were acting as MTs. Especially the Level 80 Golden Giant, whose strength was already enormous, was close to a High Grand Lord of the same level in terms of pure strength after being buffed by the three auxiliary Ancient Heroes.

Then, at Shi Feng's command, the Golden Giant and three Tier 3 demons charged forward first, followed closely by the ten Rock Guardians.

The grand momentum would definitely make any player turn around and run, but Baphomet just got up and yawned, as if it didn't care about the charging Golden Giant and three Tier 3 demons at all.

It wasn't until the Golden Giant and three Tier 3 demons stepped within 200 yards of Baphomet that Baphomet truly looked at the Golden Giant. Instantly, the Golden Giant, demons, and Rock Guardians seemed to be trapped in a mud pit, their speed sharply reduced. Not only their movement speed, but even their reaction speed became sluggish.

Then, Baphomet suddenly stomped on the ground and disappeared from the spot.

By the time Baphomet was seen again, it had already left its original spot by fifty yards. Its speed was even faster than that of a Legendary monster. Before the Golden Giant could react, it was already standing in front of the Golden Giant. The Golden Giant was like a child compared to Baphomet.

Without saying a word, Baphomet simply waved its hand, as if sweeping away dust. The Golden Giant, the demons beside it, and the Rock Guardians behind it were directly blasted twenty yards away, causing a series of damage numbers to appear...

The Golden Giant, with its high defense and HP, had its HP sharply reduced by more than 700,000. The Lord-ranked Rock Guardians directly lost more than 1 million HP. The strength of Baphomet was completely beyond imagination.

"As expected, it's so strong!" Shi Feng was also deeply shocked by Baphomet's power.

It was fiercer than the Primordial species of the same level he had dealt with, and from its previous performance, it could be seen that Baphomet definitely had the level of the sixth floor of the Trial Tower. Coupled with its extremely fast speed, even a hundred-man Tier 2 expert team of the same level would be just fish meat in Baphomet's hands, to be slaughtered at will.

After a series of attacks, the Golden Giant and the Tier 3 demons counterattacked, but other than a few spells that could hit Baphomet, the other normal attacks were dodged by Baphomet's extremely fast speed. On the other hand, the HP of the Golden Giant and the Tier 3 demons kept dropping rapidly, so much so that the Tier 3 Ancient Heroes in the back row could hardly keep up with the healing.

However, Baphomet, who was only focused on the Golden Giant and the Tier 3 demons, did not notice that Shi Feng had quietly arrived within 100 yards and directly activated the Demon Domination of the Book of Darkness.

Instantly, a wave spread out, and Baphomet's basic attributes directly decreased by 30%, which was immediately effective.

And this was not the end. Anna, who was already prepared, also controlled the Rock Guardians to form a magic array, suppressing Baphomet once again. However, the effect was much worse than Demon Domination, allowing Baphomet to retain 60% of its original attributes. The Golden Giant and the Tier 3 demons were still suppressed by Baphomet. However, Baphomet had changed from completely dodging before to parrying and blocking. The Golden Giant and the Tier 3 demons could not cause any effective attacks at all...

In response, Shi Feng could only use his last resort, the Ring of Gospel, and instantly invested 5,000 magic crystals to unfold the World Projection.

With the appearance of the World Projection, Baphomet's speed was sharply reduced, but its basic attributes still had 50% of their original value, overpowering the Golden Giant.

"How can it be so strong?" Shi Feng was almost speechless looking at Baphomet. If there was no complete suppression from the Book of Darkness, he would probably have to run away by now. Thinking of this, Shi Feng couldn't help but look at Anna beside him and said with a wry smile, "It seems there's no chance to save it."

Then Shi Feng ordered Anna to use another cross-tier magic she had mastered, which was also the strongest magic Anna currently possessed.

Tier 3 Forbidden Spell Light and Darkness Judgment!

This move had a cooldown time of a full natural day. Shi Feng did not want to use it unless absolutely necessary, but if he didn't use it now, it was only a matter of time before he was exhausted to death by Baphomet. After all, his World Projection had a very short duration, and it consumed 5,000 magic crystals each time. He didn't have so many magic crystals to waste with Baphomet.
