Chapter 537 - A Demon Island as Strong as Iron (1/2)

Swoosh!

After Yang Ling used the Teleportation Formation Spell to go back to an isle on the sea surface, he took several long breaths of fresh air. As the sea breeze blew at him, his clothes started fluttering noisily.

”Your lordship, should we leave a group of Magical Beasts to guard the Teleportation Formation Spell on the island?” The Corpse Wizard King took a glance at the hidden Teleportation Formation Spell behind him and furrowed his brows. This Teleportation Formation Spell was the crowd's sole way to go back to the castle on the seabed, and even though this island was inhabited, there were just a thousand miles between it and the Demon Island, and someone by luck might discover it.

”We don't have to protect it. Let's just destroy it.” Yang Ling looked at the boundless ocean before he paused for a moment and said calmly, ”It's only the dead that won't divulge secrets, and it's the same here. The underwater castle will be more hidden and safe if a Teleportation Formation Spell doesn't exist.”

Before Yang Ling left, he left his Soul Imprint in the underwater castle, and he could use the Teleportation Gate to teleport inside the castle at any moment. He didn't have to leave this Teleportation Formation Spell that led to the undersea castle.

The castle at the seabed was quite big, and it had innumerable towering palaces. The crowd had just explored a little part of it, and powerful treasures or some trails about Ancient Wizards were probably left in the depths of the palaces. This was why Yang Ling mustn't allow anyone to destroy the castle or touch it.

”I will take care of it.” The Giant Ape King was fond of flaunting his brute power, and he spoke as he raised his big rod high. As a rumbling sound echoed out, he smashed the ground with his rod, and after one and two rod strikes, the Teleportation Formation Spell was destroyed thoroughly.

”Fine, fine. If you continue smashing it, you will sink the whole island.” The beauty Sala covered her ears with her hands and rolled her eyes at the Giant Ape King resentfully.

”Oh, that's right! Your lordship, wouldn't it be safer just to sink the whole island.” The Giant Ape King rubbed his hands excitedly. This violent maniac's eyes turned bloodshot!

”Fool, if you sink the whole island, won't you just inform people that an issue was here, and won't you lure here the Sea Tribe's members in the vicinity?” The Corpse Wizard King shook his head and said, ”I have seen many fools, but I have never seen someone so stupid.”

”Huh?” The Giant Ape King stroked the back of his head and chuckled sheepishly.

”Let's proceed on. You can continue arguing within the Wizard Pagoda's dimension.” Yang Ling chuckled and moved the crowd into the Wizard Pagoda's dimension. Soon after, he flew toward the Demon Island, and as a swooshing sound echoed out, he flew in the air like a gust of wind, and he disappeared instantly.

After Yang Ling absorbed a large amount of energy on the ancient battlefield, his body was strengthened again, and his defense didn't just reach a shocking level, even his speed became higher than before by much. If he flew at full speed, even the Magical Beast Nine-Headed Python with power at the peak of the Mid-Level Deity Stage wouldn't overtake him, let alone the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King.

Ordinary Sea Tribe's members would have to travel for ten days to cross a thousand miles, but Yang Ling that was endowed with high-speed, managed to cross this distance in a short moment.

The Demon Island wasn't big, and its expanse was bigger than Wissen Town by just a dozen and more folds. Many giant and tall trees grew on the island, and it was verdant and lush. It had many mountains and a few plains, and the highest mountain peak was 2000 meters above sea-level.

There were many islands of varied sizes in the vicinity of the Demon Island, and a large amount of Sea Tribes affiliated to the Demon Island resided in them. Most of them were tribes conquered by force by the old witch's army, and they were in charge of providing the Demon Island with all kinds of resources.

Everything proceeded within expectations. After the heavily injured old witch went back to the Demon Island, she reinforced its defense and activated the Ancient Magical Formation Spell protecting the Demon Island. A scarlet halo covered the whole Demon Island, and Yang Ling could detect intense Energy Ripples from it even though he was still far away from it.

”Sala, command your Groundhog Army and dig several big tunnels. The quicker, the better.” Yang Ling landed on an isle and waved his hand to summon the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and others. He passed down an order in a deep voice and sent the beauty Sala to take the lead.

The strange scarlet halo was able to block Divine Consciousness's detection, and Yang Ling couldn't use Evasion Spells to teleport there. He was left without a choice, and he could only hope that the groundhogs would be able to dig a tunnel that would help them launch a surprise attack like what they had done in Saint Peter Castle.

The beauty Sala used reefs' cover to sneak into the Demon Island's beach with a large number of groundhogs, and they all operated separately. They got ready to dig several tunnels leading to the inner periphery of the Demon Island, but even though the sandy soil seemed soft, the deeper they du, the harder it became, and they bustled for a long time without managing to dig further than several feet underground. Usually, the groundhogs that had sharp would be able to tear even steel knives, yet they couldn't tear the stones that could be seen everywhere here.

A Magical Power! There was a Magical Power everywhere!

Every grain of sand and every stone emitted Magical Power's ripples, and it was obvious that the strange Magical Formation Spell didn't just envelop the island's exterior, and it protected its underground region tightly. It was like a watertight tortoiseshell made out of iron.

What should be done?

Yang Ling observed the strange scarlet halo and furrowed his brows. He waved his hand and summoned the representatives of the Sea Tribes in the Wizard Pagoda's dimension. Those people included the Seal Commander Figo and Sea Demon Eliza that still didn't want to surrender.

After a short while, Yang Ling got a gradual understanding of the situation thanks to several Sea Tribes' representatives that had already capitulated.

It turned out that this was a remnant Magical Formation Spell left from ancient times, and it had already stopped working several tens of thousand years ago. But, the old witch managed to find a way to repair it somewhere, and she made the spell regain its power. Even though the Magical Formation Spell wasn't able to release its full power, it could still be used for protection.

After the Magical Formation Spell was activated, the whole Demon Island would be engulfed by a strange scarlet halo, and the halo would persist continuously as long as it was provided enough energy. In the past, the old witch depended upon this Ancient Magical Formation Spell to block the attacks of the Sea Tribes' Allied Armies with the help of other Sea Demons, and she managed to protect the Demon Island's domain and expand it step by step.

”The Demon Island subdued several hundred great tribes that included our Farton Shrimp-Men Tribe, and we don't have even to mention the number of small tribes subdued.” A man with a humanoid head and shrimp's body shook his head and smiled bitterly. He paused for a moment before he said, ”The Demon Island got tributes from a large number of tribes and the food stocked by it will last it ten years. As long as they have enough energy, it won't be an issue for them to last eight or ten years.”
