Chapter 93 – Road to Survival (Part ②)

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

In addition to the sadness in Princess Fina's voice, there was an indescribable sense of resolve.

Wen Yu understood immediately-the true difficulty of this Treasure Land was likely centered around this very moment!

"By the way, what's your name?"

Wen Yu turned his head and spoke to the man who had just issued the warning.

"My name is Basong. I'm from Thailand."

Only then did Wen Yu notice that the man's skin was somewhat dark. In the darkness of the night earlier, Wen Yu hadn't paid much attention to his appearance.

"Do you still sense any danger?"

"Yes. Although it has weakened significantly, there is still a sense of intense danger coming from behind. No, not just from behind-it's coming from all directions!"

Wen Yu pondered for a moment before speaking decisively.

"You lead the way for now. Don't lose our general bearings. We'll head directly toward the path of least danger. Stay close to the Princess Consort."

Basong nodded and immediately led the group toward the east-northeast.

From behind, Jiang Wentao caught up, followed by Monkey and Big Bear, who had just returned from sentry duty.

"Silver Moon City is gone?"

Wen Yu nodded. "From here on out, it's up to us."

Amidst the swirling yellow sands, the group of dozens moved faster and faster. Princess Fina also seemed to sense the approaching danger and picked up her pace slightly.

Back where Wen Yu and the others had previously camped, a large, scale-covered hand picked up a few scraps of leftover food. It brought them to its massive nostrils and sniffed deeply.

As the hand gestured forcefully, several Demonic Creatures behind it immediately accelerated, pursuing the direction Wen Yu's group had taken!

"Boss Wen Yu, the danger signal from behind is getting extremely strong!"

Hearing Basong's loud warning from the front, Wen Yu shouted immediately.

"Stop! Everyone, stop and prepare for battle!"

Without knowing the enemy's strength or numbers, the only thing Wen Yu could do was pull everyone together to resist the crisis as one!

At Wen Yu's command, all the Class Holders skidded to a halt. Even Princess Fina was pulled behind Basong for protection.

Not far away, several figures slowly emerged from the thick, blowing sand.

"One, two, three, four, five! Five of them!"

Wen Yu narrowed his eyes, calmly observing the approaching Demon Race.

There was a Bull Demon clutching a massive battle-ax, its blood-red eyes fixed on Wen Yu's group with murderous intent.

Two giant, spider-like Demonic Creatures, nearly a meter tall, constantly emitted clouds of green gas from their bodies.

There was a humanoid Demonic Creature covered in bone spurs. Its hideous bone armor shimmered with a cold light, and a flicker of pale red flame danced upon the sharp spike on its forehead.

As for the creature standing at the very front, Wen Yu knew it all too well.

Covered in scales, possessing four thick arms and a mouth full of fangs…

It was an Ancient Demon!!

"Heh heh heh… finally… caught you… little bugs!!"

A grating, piercing voice rasped from the Ancient Demon's mouth. Then…

The five Demonic Creatures charged directly at Wen Yu and his group!

"Take Fina and run!"

Wen Yu turned and roared at Basong, who was beside Fina.

Then, he and One-Eye lunged straight toward the Ancient Demon!

Judging by the running speed of the five Demonic Creatures, every single one of them possessed Level 3 strength!

This was especially true for the Ancient Demon leading the charge. Its immense power caused the ground to explode with every step, kicking up massive clouds of sand and dust.

If these guys were allowed to charge into the crowd, it would be a tiger among sheep. Fina, the person everyone was supposed to protect, would have absolutely no chance of survival!

Hearing Wen Yu's command, Basong scooped up Fina and sprinted toward the northeast.

The Class Holders behind them were in a state of chaos. Unable to discern the true strength of the Demonic Creatures, they were paralyzed by indecision, unsure whether to fight or flee.

"Everyone below Level 3, go protect Princess Fina! Big Bear, provide fire support from the rear! Monkey, stay close to Princess Fina; you must ensure the Princess Consort's safety!"

"I'll take one of the spiders. William, you kill that skeleton. Chu Ziling, handle the Bull Demon. Move!"

At the critical moment, Jiang Wentao stepped up and barked out orders with rapid-fire precision.

The Class Holders moved quickly, while William and the other two immediately charged toward the Demonic Creatures!

By then, Wen Yu had already engaged the Ancient Demon!

The Ancient Demon's sharp claws whipped up a gale as they swung down toward Wen Yu's head.

This strike was too fast!

The moment Wen Yu saw the Ancient Demon move, he realized that the difficulty of the Final Mission had surpassed everyone's wildest imagination.

With a Physical Attribute of at least 150 Points, combined with its Racial Advantage, the actual Physical Attribute of the Ancient Demon before him likely exceeded 300 Points!

This was an existence capable of instant-killing any Class Holder present-including Wen Yu!

"Phasing!"

Wen Yu had no time to dodge the Ancient Demon's attack; he could only activate his Phasing ability!

The claws passed straight through Wen Yu's head, sweeping all the way down through his body.

Wen Yu felt his body twitch. Although the Phasing ability had allowed him to completely bypass the damage, a wave of weakness washed over him.

That single evasion had drained nearly half of his stamina!

He lashed out with Greed's Touch, digging it hard into the Ancient Demon's body!

Clang! Clang!

The sound was like metal clashing against metal.

He hadn't broken through its defense!

Even with the sharpness of Greed's Touch, he had failed to tear through the scales protecting the Ancient Demon's body!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A sharp whistling sound reached Wen Yu's ears.

A ruthless glint flashed through Wen Yu's eyes.

He activated Phasing once more.

The Ancient Demon's tail swept directly through Wen Yu's head. Simultaneously, Wen Yu's right hand, bolstered by the Phasing ability, successfully bypassed the Ancient Demon's surface defense.

"ROAARRRR!"

The Ancient Demon let out a violent howl as demonic blood sprayed from its chest!

Wen Yu's strike had carved a massive gash right across the Ancient Demon's torso!

Bam!

Enraged, the Ancient Demon delivered a kick straight to Wen Yu's chest!

This time, Wen Yu did not waste his meager remaining stamina to dodge the attack with Phasing.

Because another figure, wreathed in green mist, was already pouncing toward Wen Yu!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Wen Yu roared at One-Eye!

"One-Eye, kill the Ancient Demon!"

The previous exchange had actually lasted only a few seconds.

During that brief contact, One-Eye hadn't even had a chance to launch an attack.

Hearing Wen Yu's roar, One-Eye lunged straight at the Ancient Demon!

Then, One-Eye was swatted away by the Ancient Demon's palm!

"Awoo!"

One-Eye let out a pained yelp, tumbling through the air for two rotations before crashing to the ground. A large chunk of flesh had been ripped away from where the Ancient Demon had struck One-Eye!

The Flesh Tome took effect. Fate Struggle took effect!
