Chapter 1176 - 133: Perils on All Sides

Wen Yu’s premonition quickly became a reality.

...

The entire team had not advanced a few thousand meters before the surface environment began to change gradually.

The previously boundless sea of sand gradually became moist, with crystalline sand shining like glazed glass becoming scarce, and black soil slowly becoming the mainstream composition of the ground.

The one leading, Bai, was the first to stop. Wen Yu did not understand why, but among Ye Nan’s Avengers, an unremarkable Ancient Demon stepped out of the team, bypassed Bai, and arrived at the forefront of the entire group.

Bai nodded at this Ancient Demon, who squatted down directly, scooped up a handful of sandy soil, held it in the palm, and sensed it carefully.

After a while, the Ancient Demon finally spoke.

"The nature of the soil has changed, we have now crossed the crystal sand layer and reached the black soil layer. The soil composition here is very special, although it looks the same, there are many components inside that are not present above. Hmm, let me see again..."

The Ancient Demon, while speaking, closed its mouth, squinted its eyes as if it were a sculpture, but a misty sensing power continued to emanate from its body.

This sensing power was different from the perception abilities of a regular professionist. Compared to them, it was more akin to Wen Yu’s Soul Perception. Wen Yu still did not understand until Leoja quietly transmitted a message to Wen Yu.

"Harrod, one of Ye Nan’s Avengers, a Level 10 Limit Breakthrough Level demon spawn, but this guy has another identity."

"He was once a renowned expert in geological research in the Demon Tribe, having profound studies on the entire Demon Realm’s structure, soil compositions, and land elements, etc. His ability is quite unique, as long as he grabs a handful of loess, he can perceive the ecological environment of the land, what kinds of lifeforms once existed, and even what events once occurred, among other information."

Wen Yu suddenly realized, thinking that this Harrod indeed seems to be quite a talent...

Not long after, Harrod stood up, casually scattered the sand and soil in his hand, turned around to look at Bai with eyes full of strong confidence.

"There is no danger here, it is very safe, with no signs of any living beings existing here in the past few hundred years."

Harrod’s assertion—this was a confidence based on expertise and ability, and hearing Harrod’s words, Bai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding this geology expert he had found himself, Bai was quite assured.

"If that’s the case..."

"Whoosh~~~"

Bai’s words were not yet finished when Wen Yu felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and in the next second, a mist of blood exploded in the sky!

Harrod’s upper body instantly vanished, leaving only two legs deeply embedded into the ground, an abrupt change that shocked everyone. Bai’s face even retained a relaxed smile that had not yet disappeared.

"Whoosh~~"

Again, a light sound...

This time, even Harrod’s remaining two legs completely disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

...

The whistling winds, filled with heat, swept toward everyone, and the group just stood there in bewilderment, looking forward in astonishment.

In the next second, multicolored light soared, and various colors of defense shields or defense tools surrounded everyone’s standing position without leaving a single blind spot!

Once the defensive work was completed, everyone exchanged looks, finally turning their collective gaze towards Wen Yu.

Among the group, Wen Yu was the strongest, and naturally, his sense of danger and dynamic vision was also the sharpest.

Everything that had just happened, even in Leoja’s eyes, seemed like skipping scenes on a CD, from beginning to end they simply couldn’t see what had attacked Harrod!

As for Wen Yu, he just gazed ahead, eventually shaking his head.

"Couldn’t see what it was, just felt a flash of white light, and then he was gone."

Wen Yu’s Spiritual Fluctuation transmitted to everyone’s mind, and upon hearing Wen Yu’s words, everyone felt a heavy heart immediately.

The scarier part was yet to come...

"I did not sense any fluctuations in aura, soul perception is also ineffective, this enemy, I can’t see it either."

Wen Yu stated the facts, and precisely because of these facts, they caused everyone even more apprehension.

This level of speed... how strong would the corresponding power be?

"Then we..."

Bai at this moment was also shocked by the sudden change into a disoriented state, unconsciously opening his mouth to inquire to Wen Yu, yet what responded to him was merely another attack!

"Whoosh~~~"

The crisp buzzing sound arose once more, reminiscent of an arrow, and in Wen Yu’s vision, another flash of white light abruptly burst forth, shooting from a great distance, almost instantly striking Bai’s body.

In an instant, the defense shield on Bai raised ripples, yet the anticipated one-hit kill did not occur, the defense shield briefly flickered with brilliance, before promptly stabilizing. This barrier also exposed the culprit behind the sneak attacks on everyone to their sight.

It was a mass of airflow without visible shape...

The airflow collided with Bai’s defense shield as if hitting a copper wall and iron bastion. The originally formless, intangible air mass was instantly flattened, the compressed air outlined the shape of this air mass—round and rollicking, scarcely fist-sized...

The thought of "Someone is attacking" just emerged in everyone’s mind, but the next scene abruptly stunned everyone.

The air mass seemed to possess conscious will. The first attack was hindered, and the air mass receded slightly, then launched another collision, only to meet the same result as before. It collided continuously three times at extremely high speed, and perhaps sensing that the fruit in front wasn’t easy to squeeze, decisively slid along Bai’s defense shield to one side, merging into the air, disappearing without a trace.

"This..."

"Shh!"

Bai just wanted to say something, but Wen Yu gestured to Bai, and then Spiritual Fluctuation transmitted once again.

"Sound, they have no vision, they rely on sound to capture prey."

Bai immediately fell silent.

...

The scene became awkward for a moment, but Wen Yu and Bai, these two leaders, continued to exchange information through spiritual waves.

"Their physical impact is extremely effective, but they are powerless against energy defense, their body is merely a mass of air, almost blending into the air, so any perception ability is ineffective against it."

Bai was summarizing, and while Wen Yu listened to Bai’s conclusion, he always felt something was not quite right.

It seemed... this air mass... was very similar to the characteristics of a Cloud Puppet...

At a certain moment, Wen Yu suddenly had this conclusion, and the more Wen Yu compared, the more similar the state of the two appeared. After a while, Wen Yu finally spoke.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Simple light coughs emanated from afar, where everything passed, calm and tranquil.

Until a whistling sound arose, subsequently, the Pitch-dark Screen around Wen Yu immediately rippled.
