nMonn, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his drowsy eyes.

nHe turned around and sat up from the tree crown. He stretched his body comfortably, and then jumped up.

n

n

nHe made a beautiful turn from the tree and landed firmly on the ground.

nAmidst the buzzing sound of insects, a giant mosquito the size of a cattail leaf fan rushed toward Monn’s neck purposely.

nIt used its mouthpart, which had sucked the blood of countless people and taken their lives, to stab straight at Monn’s neck with a clear aim.

nMonn held a small flame in his hand as if nothing had happened.

n

n

nThe unusually ferocious mosquito was precisely burned by the small flame when it was just in front of him. In the blink of an eye, it turned into black ash.

n“Everyone, pay attention. There are death soul mosquitoes here.”

nMonn saw that his subordinates, there were actually people with tiger tendrils using shields to block the death soul mosquitoes. He was instantly speechless and helpless.

nWhat was the IQ of these guys?

n

n

nDidn’t they know that the death soul mosquitoes were fast and that their breath could penetrate any armor defense?

nMoreover, once bitten, the entire body would be paralyzed. If too much blood was sucked, it would attract even more death soul mosquitoes from the surrounding area to surround and attack.

nIt was a group of creatures that were similar to man-eating ants.

nThey were all sent out by large groups. There were tens of thousands of death soul mosquitoes in a nest.

nDeath soul mosquitoes had a special preference for human souls.

nTherefore, death soul mosquitoes liked to attack travelers the most.

n

n

nThe only way to attack death soul mosquitoes was to use magic attacks.

nNo matter how powerful a physical attack was, it was still inferior to a simple magic attack.

nOf course, the prerequisite was that you had to be able to hit it.

nIn order to prevent the shield knights from being attacked, Monn looked out for Ace.

nThe two of them flew up into the air by the wind and looked down at where they were.

nThey saw a huge bat demon that looked like a walking iron tower running towards the glacier in the distance.

nThis bat demon was a mutated species. It was not as big as an ordinary bat demon which was like a seven or eight-year-old child.

nInstead, it was the size of an adult elephant standing up, and its agility still retained the characteristics of a bat demon.

n

n

nHowever, with its slightly bulky body, every step it took would leave an obvious big pit on the ground.

nWherever the bat demon walked by, it left behind a lifeless and withered land.

nThe originally lively land became a dead land after the bat demon passed by.

nThe bat demon had no head or tail and was not afraid of being discovered at all. It , a demon, had entered the human territory.

nIt rampaged around, as if it was in a panic and only wanted to run for its life.

nThe bat demon was nearly a hundred meters tall. How could such an obvious target appear here?

nMoreover, it appeared silently. If he hadn’t met it today, perhaps no one would have known that the bat demon had entered the Ash Mountain.

nCould it be that the demon had entered the human world from the abyss?

nThe bat demon was flapping its bat wings and flying at a low altitude.

nThis allowed its legs and wings to take turns to rest.

nEven so, the bat demon’s speed didn’t decrease in the slightest.

nIt didn’t matter if the bat demon was flying or running.

nThe indelible mark was, wherever he passed by, the place would have withered barren dead land.

n

n

nAlthough it was far way off, Ace and Monn could still feel the absolute power of the bat demon.

n“Is the bat demon so powerful?”

nMonn was not sure if it was the problem with his knowledge or because he had not seen it before.

n“Ah? What did you say just now?”

nAce’s attention was not drawn back from the bat demon.

n“Nothing. I just realized that our powers are a little different from the bat demon’s. It’s time to go back for more training.”

nMonn smiled bitterly.

nHe looked around his surroundings.

nHe realized that it did not matter if it was hills, plains, swamps, or lakes.

nHowever, wherever the bat demon passed by, the bat demon rampaged through and created a straight, flat road.

nHe did not have to worry about getting lost or any obstacles along the way.

nAs long as he followed the path where not a single blade of grass grew, he would be done.

nIn a place full of life, a path where not a single blade of grass grew, withered, and withered was too eye-catching.

n“Forget it, let the troops set off. While the bat demon has just passed by, we should follow the path he left behind. We shouldn’t encounter any danger. As for the remaining danger, we can only handle it ourselves.”

nMonn withdrew his wind magic and landed steadily.

nAce was not as fast as Monn when she withdrew her wind magic, so she only landed after Monn had walked forward.

n“Are the necromancer and his disciples following us? They are only mages, can their physical strength make it?”

nAce asked worriedly.

n“Since they have joined us, they have to do it even if they can’t.”

nAs he spoke, Monn had already taken the lead.

n“You always let others be the bad guys.”

nAce complained, but her face was full of smiles.

n“Let’s go. Our archbishop is going to travel through the night. It’s not safe here. Be alert.”

nAce looked at Monn, who had said to take the road the bat demon had taken.

nHe had set fire on the withered road that the bat demon had walked by to ensure that everything was safe. Ace shook her head.

nWhat a tough-talking but soft-hearted person.

nAce watched as the leader of the group left, then turned around and walked to the end of the group to urge the group to move forward.

nOf course, Ace did not forget the necromancer Bartley and his student, Lillian, who had just been forced by Monn to join the Holy Knight Army.

nAfter all, they had just joined them. Although they did not doubt the people they used, they did not use the people they suspected.

nBut there had to be a test period. They couldn’t trust them completely right after they arrived.

nThere were so many dangerous creatures in the Kade Mountain Range to the extent you couldn’t think of.

nMaybe you just went out for a walk and saw a little bird that you had never seen before.

nYou were curious and wanted to catch it to have a look.

nIn the end, you originally thought that you were catching a harmless little bird.

nAfter you made your move, you realized that you were catching a ferocious creature that could bite your head off.

nIt wasn’t because humans didn’t work hard, nor were there fewer scholars, nor were there fewer human explorers.

nIt was because this was a place where humans, demons, elves, and orcs intersected.

nSo there were all kinds of unknown existences here.

nThis was also the main reason why Monn was so cautious.

nThe terrifying creatures on the surface weren’t the main source of danger.

nThe truly dangerous ones were the unknown existences that couldn’t be seen.

nMonn was extremely cautious along the way, leading his team to follow behind the bat demon without missing a beat, walking on the path the other party had taken.

nTherefore, he had a deeper understanding of the other party’s destructive power.

nThe bat demon walked faster than them, but wherever the bat demon walked, its tyrannical aura still remained.

nThe bat demon’s aura continuously attracted the weak dark race creatures.

nA moment later, Monn and Ace had a clear division of responsibility.

nMonn walked in front of the Holy Knight Army and took the lead.

nAce walked at the back of the Holy Knight and held the line.

nThe two of them worked well together. They did not need to say anything to each other. They only needed to look at each other to know what the other was going to do.

nAlong the way, Monn had been using his fire magic to continuously expel the bat demon’s dense demonic aura.

nHe was trying to prevent the Holy Knights Army behind him from being contaminated by the demonic aura.

nHe did not know when the demonic aura would appear.

nEven so, some of the Holy Knights were forced by the bat demon’s aura to use purifying magic to purify their surroundings.

nAce, who had used too much magic, began to turn pale from exhaustion.

nA few ancient trees with thick trunks that had lived for unknown number of years suddenly left the ground after Monn’s vanguard passed by. They looked like they were still escaping.

nHowever, obviously these few trees had been demonized.

nAs they had lived for a long time, even if they were tainted with demonic aura and had already begun to demonize, and the tree trunks were still charred and smoking after being cleansed by Monn’s fireball…

nThey could still hide themselves.

nDemons that had just taken shape always had the ability to seek fortune and avoid danger.

nKnowing that they were not Monn’s match, they simply stayed still while Monn cleansed the demonic aura on their bodies.

nWhen Monn led the vanguard far away, they immediately wanted to run away.

nUnfortunately, they were still trees that had turned into spirits.

nTheir movement speed was naturally weak.

n
