Chapter 254: The Crisis of the Dawn Empire (3)

After resolving the crisis in Dawn City, Xingluo had no time to rest before a large number of hellhounds and even higher-level abyss creatures appeared in the empire again.

Xingluo muttered helplessly. He still underestimated the Abyss Demon. They had just lost a lot of strength, but they were able to reorganize the offensive so quickly. Now that the demons in Dawn City have been dealt with, Xingluo and his men moved in directly, using this place as a supply point, and began to move towards several other places where the magic circles had strong fluctuations.

The entire Dawn Empire had fallen into a semi-paralyzed state, with traces of demons everywhere. Although the largest teleportation array was closed, the empire was still caught in a melee.

Xingluo brought Selina the forest elf, Huoyan the dwarf, and groups of horned eagles. There were 5,000 people in the group. Compared with humans, Xingluo seemed to trust these aliens more. They rushed to the next node of the abyss array. If the source of the abyss power was not cut off, these demons would not retreat easily. After all, the source of these people's power was human desire, and human desire was endless. If the endless abyss power was added, Xingluo and his group would only be exhausted to death. Therefore, the first thing to do to deal with the abyss demons was to close the summoning array so that the demons would no longer be immortal.

Xingluo and the others rushed to another summoning array. The Dawn Empire was a mysterious and powerful country. On weekdays, the entire empire could be bathed in golden sunlight, illuminating the entire earth. However, today's scene was completely different from the past. In this ancient and magnificent empire, the abyss demons walked on the cracked lava land.

Countless huge cracks appeared on the ground, as if it was torn apart by the power of the devil. From these cracks came out streams of black smoke and lava, shining with a devilish red light in the sun. They spread across the empire as if they came from the abyss of hell.

The wind whistled past, blowing the screams of the wounded soldiers to the sky. They were scattered on the battlefield, looking so fragile and helpless under the golden sunlight. Scattered around them were all kinds of abandoned and forgotten weapons - broken swords, broken shields, broken armor... Those objects that once belonged to the hands of brave warriors to arm their bodies and protect their fate have now become cruel witnesses of war.

Selina, who came with Xingluo, had a pale face. She had obviously never seen such a tragic battlefield. She had vomited several times. The elf, who was originally petite, had an unusually beautiful face and now looked pitiful. Unlike the usually lively forest elf, she looked particularly weak today. She ran to Xingluo's side and hugged Xingluo's arm tightly and refused to let go. Even Elsa was pale at this time, only slightly better than Selina. She could barely walk by herself, but she almost fell down when she stepped on the slippery ground. The pungent smell of blood on the ground almost made her vomit.

The dwarves nearby also frowned slightly. Although they were not as bad as the forest elves, they also hated the abyss demons. Many dwarves had been captured by the demons and even killed on the spot. The cruel methods, even if passed on by word of mouth, were enough to make these dwarves hate the demons.

The horned eagle hovering in the sky has been monitoring the movements in the distance, and will inform Xingluo and his team as soon as possible if there is any situation. In addition to these alien races, Xingluo did not bring any humans to the Dawn Empire. The previous battle with the Abyss Demons caused a lot of losses to the human forces. The Sky City Mercenary Group suffered the most casualties. There was nothing he could do about it. Compared with the strong physical fitness of the alien races, the human body is indeed a little thin, and humans have too many desires, which is not conducive to fighting against the Abyss Demons, unless they are willing to sacrifice human lives at all costs. Xingluo obviously does not want to do this, so most of the people he brought are alien races.

They soon arrived at the next key magic circle node. The power of the abyss was indeed strong here. There were even two large teleportation arrays to maintain the passage between the abyss and the main material plane. Xingluo started to attack as soon as he arrived. After all, the other party was a demon and there was nothing to say. Any action that made them speak would give them the opportunity to seduce humans.

Although the magic array here is not as big as the one in Dawn City, it is not easy to be discovered due to the complex terrain and the fact that it is in the forest. It is extremely concealed. If Xingluo had not been too sensitive to magic arrays and frantically calculated with several star array maps, they would not have been able to discover this place so easily.

"Who are you? How dare you come and destroy the master's magic circle. Are you looking for death?" A demon and several blood werewolves suddenly appeared and stopped Xingluo from destroying the magic circle. Obviously, they did not expect that someone could find this hidden magic circle. Due to their negligence, Xingluo and the others rushed over.

Xingluo's eyes narrowed slightly. One high-level demon was already a problem for him, and there were so many blood werewolves. Although these aliens had been trained, it was still difficult to quickly form a magic circle to trap the blood werewolves. In this regard, humans had a unique advantage, while these aliens were a little worse.

"Selina, Elsa, Huoyan and other blood werewolves are now left to you. Don't fight them head-on. Remember to use the formation you practiced in order to trap them." After Xingluo left these words, he directly fought with the high-level demons.

Xingluo looked down at the shield in his hand, gritted his teeth and chose to fight in close combat. After all, the stone shield required a lot of demon blood, and the opponent was a high-level demon after all, and he could purify the stone to whatever extent. The high-level demon shuddered involuntarily when he saw Xingluo's eyes, and then was replaced by anger, and began to launch a fierce attack on Xingluo.

However, no matter how fierce the battle is, it has to stop. Just when the demon was taking a breath, Xingluo started to counterattack. He first blocked the opponent's attack with a slate shield, then took out a rusty dagger and stabbed it towards the opponent's abdomen. The abyss demon hurriedly used his hands to block it and finally stopped it. However, the blood that kept flowing from his hands showed that it was not easy to block it just now. Otherwise, after being stabbed by Xingluo, even with the demon's vitality, it would require a lot of human desire to make him recover.

As Xingluo and the abyss demon continued to fight, his desire continued to grow, but he was surrounded by men, so he could temporarily suppress his psychological restlessness. He knew that he was being influenced by the demon, and Xingluo's mental power fluctuated, and his inner emotional fluctuations were suppressed.

Xingluo directly summoned the angel puppet. As expected, the appearance of the angel puppet alarmed all of them.

Especially the angels' archenemy, the abyss demons, they have reached the point where they cannot reconcile, and they will fight to the death as soon as they meet.
