Chapter 454: The Demon Elites in the Demon Resisting Mountain Range (I)
Han Yu’s eyes lit up, immediately seeing through Long Haochen’s intention.
Clearly, if this group was heading out from the mountain, they would most likely be humans. But if they were headed for the mountain, the probability of them being demons would be much higher. Humans would after all rarely set defenses in this area. For this reason, regardless of whether these sudden troops are humans or demons, they were probably headed for a raid.
The Demonic Eye lightly swayed its tentacles. Being a mental type magical beast, its utility could sometimes be even greater than higher ranked magical beasts. Being able to float, it simply flew without a care towards the place where he detected some presences. If one paid careful attention, he would realize that a slightly distorted area surrounding the body of the Demonic Eye. That was its mental fluctuations. With these, any scouting spell in contact with the area would react as if it was air, unable to register the slightest reaction, especially the ones launched from a distance.
The Demonic Eye just returned. The whole process of scouting the whole area only took him only about a quarter of an hour. On his return, without need for Han Yu to say anything, it’s huge eye let out a silver white luster. Immediately, brilliant rays were shot in front of the group, revealing a scene in front of everyone’s eyes.
Seeing the scene, Han Yu was greatly startled, “Oh, so you gained yet another ability upon evolving. It’s actually able to store images. How great!”
The others couldn’t help but sigh in awe before that sight, staring at it. Immediately, serious expressions appeared on their faces.
The ones that appeared in the scene were demons. They were silently riding over the mountain, climbing over the Demon Resisting Mountain Range.
One could clearly see that among these demons, some were floating and dispersing distorted light waves all around them. They belonged to a small demon clan, called Demon Envoys. They specialized in mental attribute, but still couldn’t compare to a commander ranked Demonic Eye. Their cultivation, roughly, at the fourth step, made them capable of using a mental protective screen like Demonic Eye.
Because, the Demonic Eye surpassed them in cultivation by a great margin, despite both being mental attribute magical beast, he still discerned their presence clearly .
The Demon Envoys numbered at least thirty. Having fierce-looking ugly faces, they were about the size of human infants. Their mental fluctuation covered the entirety of the demon armies.
These demon troops weren’t huge, only roughly five thousand in number. However, from Long Haochen’s understanding of them, these were definitely elite troops.
Aside from Demon Envoy, in the sky were Demon Carriers, sharp tongued with large hollow bellies. Although they don’t have many abilities for combat, their strength in restricting others was something Long Haochen’s group saw and experienced personally. Back then, it was because of those that Tian Qing’s king grade Demon Hunt Squad they had encountered nearly died when surrounded by the Jacques Demons. Among the ground troops, roughly a thousand Berserk Demons were standing at the front. From the Demonic Eye’s record, one could clearly see that this thousand Berserk Demons were clearly elites, among which over a hundred Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons stood as leaders, each one of them leading nine ordinary Berserk Demon.
Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demons have strength at the sixth step, and the most powerful of them can reach the seventh step. As for the elite Berserk Demons, they ought to be roughly at the fifth step of cultivation.
In fact, Berserk Demons are an elite race. Among them, the total count of Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon totalled no more than two hundred. Their fighting strength on the ground wasn’t simply limited to them being a valiant crew, but an unyielding group of soldiers until death. The Temple Alliance describes them generally as Mad Demon believers, making clear from this how valiant as a fighter they are.
The thousand plus Berserk Demons aside, the real main force of these elite troops consisted some true powerhouses. First were the five hundred Demonic Bears, of tremendous build, extraordinary strength and unpierceable defense. Even the most ordinary Demonic Bear was at the sixth step. To an army, having existences such as Demonic Bears was like equipping an extremely solid independant shield to its troops.
Behind the Demonic Bears came five hundred demons of a kind Long Haochen’s group had never seen. These demons let out specks of light from their bodies, looked humanoid at first, but if one took special care, they would notice that their bodies were actually floating in midair, above the ground. Clad in cloaks, all their hands were grasping staves flickering in the same light as their bodies.
