Chapter 1625: Chapter 685: Escape

The Golden Horn Demon King suppressed his rage and asked,

"But have those Human Clan Demon Hunters been completely eradicated?"

Calculating the time, it should be about done.

Qin Xiaochuan, standing nearby, was also full of tension. He was anxious, fearing news of his comrades’ misfortune.

Just now, he overheard the conversation between the Golden Horn Demon King and the Demon General; they had been deploying for a long time around Lion Roar Hill.

"Reporting... reporting to the Demon King, things are not going well. The humans employed despicable means, the Molten Rock Demon General was injured by an explosion, a Lion Roar Eagle-man Priest was shot dead, and countless demon soldiers were blown up. The demon tide is currently dormant, the Molten Rock Demon General sent me back to report, and requests the Demon King’s presence to command the next steps of the battle."

The demon soldier’s voice grew softer and softer.

"What? Can’t deal with just a few humans? What’s the use of keeping you worthless creatures?"

The Golden Horn Demon King thought he misheard, his chest heaving violently, clearly furious.

He glanced at Qin Xiaochuan, who was eavesdropping on the side, and like an eagle catching a chick, grabbed him and strode towards Lion Roar Hill.

Upon reaching the base of Lion Roar Hill Qilin Mountain and seeing the situation before him, the Golden Horn Demon King couldn’t help but gasp.

Everywhere lay demoralized troops, the Molten Lava Demon Turtle was lying under a tree, its body covered with wound medicine, the molten turtle shell on its back had a long crack, green demon blood continuously oozing out.

An Evil Alchemist was treating the Molten Lava Demon Turtle.

"Old Yan, who wounded you?"

Seeing his old subordinate in such a state, the Golden Horn Demon King was nearly infuriated.

The Molten Lava Demon Turtle recounted the sequence of events, mentioning the hidden Green Thunder within the stakes exploded with amazing power, catching him and the demon soldiers and beasts off guard. A Lion Roar Eagle-man was killed by a Poison Arrow, and both air and ground forces were thrown into chaos by the opponent’s treachery.

"Damn it, they say our Demon Clan is treacherous, but these humans are inhumanly treacherous, using poison and Green Bombs, their methods outmatching our own a hundredfold."

The Golden Horn Demon King cursed.

He couldn’t help but recall the incident in Ah County, where his demon soldiers were inexplicably caught by human subterfuge.

If the Golden Horn Demon King knew that both incidents were orchestrated by the same group, he would be even more infuriated.

Hearing this, Qin Xiaochuan felt a weight lifted from his heart, secretly amused.

Qin Xiaochuan was well aware of the Green Thunder and Poison Arrow matters.

Sixth Sister-in-law had everyone prepare in advance, although not specifying the use, just precautionary measures, which turned out to be immensely useful now.

"Boy! What are you sneering at?"

The Golden Horn Demon King was already furious, turned around to see Qin Xiaochuan grinning, which made him even more incensed. He slapped Qin Xiaochuan across the face.

The slap sent Qin Xiaochuan flying, utterly disoriented, though the Golden Horn Demon King’s hand went numb from the impact.

Qin Xiaochuan struggled to get up, grinning, unharmed.

"These Human Clan Demon Hunters are really damn bizarre."

The Golden Horn Demon King was livid, his gaze sweeping over to the Lion Roar Hill under the cloak of night.

"Where are those humans now?"

"Reporting to the Demon King, they are still at the mountaintop. Our people are severely injured, but they dare not charge recklessly down; earlier, we and the Lion Roar Eagle-men cooperated to annihilate two of their squads. It seems they are terrified, merely using stakes to make a fuss, and I have already ordered my men to stay clear, learning from experience to not be fooled again."

The Molten Rock Demon General, speaking of the previous achievements, showed a hint of pride.

After all, the opponent suffered heavy losses, losing at least two-fifths of their forces, leaving only twenty to thirty people, negligible compared to the thousands of demon soldiers.

After listening, the Golden Horn Demon King’s eyes narrowed, looking towards the mountain base where some stakes indeed lay.

Because of the Green Thunder hidden within, the demon soldiers ignored them, allowing them to roll far away.

The Golden Horn Demon King felt something was amiss, his heart suddenly racing.

"Where is the Lion Roar Priest!"

Only one Lion Roar Priest, the last one left, descended from the sky.

"What is the situation on the mountain top? Go and report back immediately."

The Lion Roar Priest hesitated; after watching his companion get shot by Ye Lingyue, the Lion Roar Eagle-men retreated several miles, leaving the top of the mountain barely visible.

The Demon Hunter Humans seemed to have retreated into their tents.

Daring not to disobey the Golden Horn Demon King’s order, the Lion Roar Priest, steeling himself, gathered a dozen Eagle-men to approach the mountaintop.

Upon circling the mountain top, they found only dark tents with campfires, not a single Demon Hunter Human in sight.

The Lion Roar Priest realized the gravity of the situation, quickly ordering the Eagle-men to land and investigate. Only then did they see that not a soul was left on the mountain top.

"Spare me, Demon King, the Demon Hunter Humans are all gone. I don’t know when they escaped down the mountain."

Upon hearing the news, the Golden Horn Demon King’s temple veins wriggled like worms, and he kicked the Lion Roar Priest away, striding over to a stake.

Inside the stake, what Green Thunder? There was only a hollowed-out stake.

"You idiots, standing there in a daze, the people have escaped; hurry up and chase them!"

The Golden Horn Demon King smashed the stake with a palm, his expression ferocious.

His demon soldiers, finally awakening from their stupor, surged out of Lion Roar Hill in pursuit.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingyue and others, using rolling stakes, descended from the mountain. Initially, they were on edge.

Especially Tang Tianqi and others, who were the last to enter the stakes.

Unexpectedly, when they rolled to the mountain base, the Demon Clan fell for it, not blocking them but staying far away.

Taking advantage of the terrain, they rolled all the way down to a safe area before climbing out.

"This godforsaken place, we finally escaped."

Upon emerging, the Third Young Master Jin and others looked back with lingering fear.

After a night of ordeal, by the time they escaped, dawn was breaking, the horizon beginning to lighten.

"No time to waste, let’s leave here quickly before the demon soldiers catch up."

The Tang Family Elder Song urged.

Everyone naturally agreed, wishing they had more legs to leave the Demon Clan’s territory immediately.

Facing the Demon King, he had no great assurance and only wished to reach the Jiu Provinces Base Camp and reunite with the Jin Family’s frontline team quickly.

"Ling Yue, what about Big Fool?"

Guangzi looked worried, unsure of Qin Xiaochuan’s fate on the way.

"We can’t leave Fourth Brother behind; I’ll find a way to go back and check."

Ye Lingyue said, and beside her, Xi Jiuye stepped forward, blocking her path.
