The bearded clan chief looked at the surging river ahead, two to three hundred meters wide, and turned to Bai Ye saying, "Lord Ye Ge, there was originally a bridge here, but it seems they destroyed it."
"Please wait a moment, I'll bring the tribesmen to chop down trees and build a bridge. It won't take long."
Hearing the clan chief's words, Robert and a few young warriors immediately put away their weapons and rolled up their sleeves.
"No need." Bai Ye raised his hand to stop them. How could such a small river stop their progress? On the Blue Star, one of his best magic tricks was freezing water.
Let alone this river, even the vast ocean couldn't withstand his play!
Bai Ye stepped into the river. The moment his toes touched the water surface, the surging river water instantly solidified into ice.
The snake woman and the dwarves watched with surprise. This was the first time they had seen someone play with magic like this. And he was a Demon King!
The snake woman followed closely, feeling the ice surface was as firm as a rock, and was secretly shocked. Just this simple projection of magic power was already beyond the capabilities of ordinary Demon Kings!
"Thank you, Lord Ye Ge!" The bearded clan chief's eyes were filled with immense gratitude. He beckoned and led his tribesmen forward.
The dozen tons of unicorn oxen pulling the large carts drove over, and the ice surface remained stable, without even a small crack.
After crossing the river, they advanced for several hundred kilometers. Along the way, they encountered many strange and novel magical beasts that Bai Ye had never seen before. And any of them that looked delicious and palatable in terms of meat couldn't escape Bai Ye's magical grasp.
So halfway there, before they even started mining ore, most of the cargo trucks were already filled with food!
As for those who foolishly rushed out to ambush them, they were either killed by the dwarf warriors or burned to ashes by the snake woman.
After traveling a few dozen more li, they encountered another cadre of the Demesden Demon King, a queen bee larger than a truck, leading a large swarm of demon bees.
Their hard carapaces gave them extremely strong defenses, and their sharp venomous stings made many magical beasts tremble.
The dwarf tribe had encountered this swarm of demon bees before, and many warriors had tragically died under their stingers.
Seeing the bearded clan chief and the warriors looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Bai Ye directly took action.
Miles of frozen ice, arrows flying in all directions, blizzards... he unleashed a series of combos as if he had inexhaustible magic power. Both the small demon bees and the queen bee were all killed by the erosion and destruction of the cold ice.
"Long live Lord Ye Ge!"
"Bah! Is Lord Ye Ge so short-lived? Lord Ye Ge lives as long as the light! If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
In just one encounter, it was a complete annihilation! The dwarves exclaimed in congratulation, their eyes of faith shining even brighter.
The snake woman was numb. She always thought that although the peak disaster-level beings couldn't defeat a Demon King, a few of them working together could still challenge and contend.
But encountering Bai Ye, she felt a chill of fear.
Numbers were useless in front of him; they would only receive indiscriminate attacks!
"Lord Bai Ye, our mining cave is within the territory of these bloodthirsty demon bees. It's to the east, about twenty to thirty li from here." The bearded clan chief pointed towards another range of hills outside the forest.
"We're already here? Then let's go."
Just as everyone was preparing to continue their journey, a roar suddenly came from the distant horizon, echoing through the mountains, and the earth rumbled.
The dwarves, and even the snake woman, changed color dramatically. Such a huge presence, without further thought, they knew it must be the highest ruler of this territory, the Demesden Demon King!
"Lord Ye Ge?"
"We..." The Demon King's deterrent power was incredibly terrifying. Robert and other young warriors turned pale. Even with Bai Ye beside them, the bearded clan chief and tribal elders like Dilov felt very uneasy.
Over the years, they had been hiding, desperately avoiding the Demon King's patrols. Thus, the Demon King's terrifying power had become a shadow in their hearts for years.
"Don't panic! You go collect your minerals, I'll go see what kind of small animal it is!" Bai Ye said to calm them down, and then instructed, "Dusha, you go with them."
"Yes, Master!" The snake woman obeyed.
After Bai Ye finished speaking, before the bearded clan chief and the others could respond, Bai Ye's figure had already vanished.
In the depths of Nalas, a bare, giant rock mountain stood out amidst the lush green hills and mountains, drawing much attention.
There was a vast cave at the summit of the rock mountain, its depths unfathomable. And the angry roar that had just sounded came from this cave.
Outside, the entire Nalas region, whether it was forests or grasslands, was in a commotion.
The other eight cadres under the Demesden Demon King were leading the magical beasts in their territories and rushing towards the giant rock mountain at high speed!
"Finally, someone has come to provoke me? I've been lonely for a very, very long time. Hahaha... very strong, he is very strong!"
Thump thump thump~
In the deep cave, a figure slowly walked out, with a sinister and excited smile on their lips.
Upon reaching the light, it was a woman wearing a uniquely designed armor. She was tall, with a pair of round, explosive-looking long legs that were particularly eye-catching. Her exposed waist outside the armor had not a trace of excess fat, and as she moved, faint lines of abdominal muscles could be seen.
Her face was delicate and pretty, her golden long hair was tied in a high ponytail, her eyes were vertical pupils, emitting coldness, and her entire demeanor exuded an aura of a mature and dominant woman.
"Greetings, Lord Demesden!"
"Lord Demesden, may I ask what has happened?"
At the cave entrance, the first few cadres who arrived, along with their magical beasts, prostrated themselves on the ground and cautiously inquired. The flickering eyes of each one fully revealed the fear they held in their hearts for this woman.
"Someone has invaded my territory, and finally, someone has come!" The woman smiled, suddenly extending her long tongue to lick her lips. Unlike her cold, mature aura, her smile and actions made her seem a bit crazy, or perhaps, pathological!
"Ignorant fool, how dare you defy the majesty of our Lord Demesden!"
"My Lord, where is he? We'll go and vanquish him immediately!"
The cadres expressed their willingness one after another.
However, Demesden cast a cold glance at them, a hint of cold light flashing in her eyes!
"He is my prey, my prey, I will train him personally! Do you have the right to make a move?"
"We dare not, Lord Demon King!"
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the cadres, and they stared intently at the grass with their heads bowed. Their Demon King was very powerful; even the high command of the Tri-Alliance army gave her face. Following her meant a high status.
However, she had a terrible hobby. She liked to "conquer" the strong, using extremely perverted methods!
Demesden laughed excitedly for a moment, then pointed south and exclaimed, "Kendale Guard Zone!"
"Yes, Lord Demesden!" Upon hearing this, one of the cadres transformed into its true form, a massive four-winged demon bird, carrying Demesden into the air and speeding south.
Hmm? Bai Ye, who was halfway there, also felt the presence of a large group of magical beasts approaching. So he landed on a towering ancient tree and gazed in the direction where Demesden's forces were coming.
