Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

This magic was specifically designed to counter shields.

To withstand the majority of attacks, shield-based defense magic has extremely complex and variable magic power formulas.

Once a shield was deployed, unless the magic intensity was strong enough to overpower it absolutely, one could only obediently wait for the shield to disappear.

However, the Enchanting Demon almost instantaneously dissolved her shield magic.

Not having time to be surprised, Bai Jin could only try to weave another defense magic.

But Bai Jin hadn’t practiced that magic deliberately and couldn’t use it as quickly as drinking water or eating.

The magic arrows flying through the air wouldn’t politely wait for Bai Jin to finish, allowing themselves and the magic shield to make direct contact.

”Lotcar, get down!”

Upon receiving Yang Yu’s urgent command, Lotcar didn’t bother to check for traps nearby and suddenly threw himself down, letting several arrows skim past his body.

Throwing He Meng to the right, an Illusion Shield unfolded in front of Yang Yu, blocking the incoming arrows on the left side of Lotcar for Bai Jin and Iyas.

Even if He Meng was lazy, she knew the current situation was no small matter.

Her gelatinous body extended sideward in the air, resembling half of a round bowl placed on the right side of Lotcar.

Unfortunately, even with He Meng’s good extensibility, she couldn’t extend infinitely.

Protecting Lotcar’s right side was already the limit of He Meng’s reach.

Alas, the range of the arrows was too wide, and the joint defense of Yang Yu and He Meng was not perfect, making it impossible to block every single arrow.

Several arrows passed through the gap in Yang Yu and He Meng’s defenses, mercilessly embedding in Lotcar’s body.

Yang Yu also wanted to tell Lotcar to turn back into human form, which would make it easier for them to defend.

But Lotcar’s transformation took time, and carrying them through the transformation could be more dangerous than their current situation.

Two magic arrows, carelessly grazed Iyas’s exposed forearm.

The magic arrows’ attacks slightly weakened, Yang Yu opened the status panel to carefully check the conditions of Iyas and Lotcar.

Although both Lotcar and Iyas were injured, there were no signs of poisoning.

During the previous battle, Yang Yu noticed that the toxins from Chuyuan were secreted from the hands.

It must be quite difficult to secrete large amounts of toxin in a short time to create many poisoned arrows.

Among these arrows shooting from all sides, surely only a few were truly poisonous.

Being able to distinguish the differences between the arrows would be key to defense.

Yang Yu tried hard to recall the poisoned arrow that had been shot at him earlier, constantly comparing it with the arrows hitting Lotcar.

Hidden in the shadows, Chuyuan quietly awaited the end of Yang Yu’s ”Interception,” searching for Yang Yu’s weaknesses while slowly drawing the Magic Longbow.

As Norma circled in the sky, not remaining idle either, black magic power gradually gathered and condensed between her hands, weaving five black swords.

But before Norma could throw these five black swords, Bai Jin canceled the incomplete defense magic, turning it back on the caster.

With blue light blossoming from her hands, Bai Jin’s ”Magic Counter” struck Norma’s Array precisely, instantly shattering the recently woven ”Hell Spur.”

Sweeping her hand forward, several Frost Ice Arrows formed in front of Bai Jin and thunderously shot towards Norma dancing in the air.

According to Iyas’s perception, the black bats were controlling the arrows currently striking them.

And the most likely puppeteer of those bats was none other than the Enchanting Demon Norma floating above.

Bai Jin switched from defense to offense, knowing that if they could bring down Norma, there wouldn’t be as many bats, and their battle would inevitably become much easier.

However, Norma once again deployed a Magic Shield, causing Bai Jin’s Frost Ice Arrows to hit it and immediately shatter into bright fragments.

Fluttering her bat wings, Norma immediately retaliated with an equal number of Frost Ice Arrows.

Bai Jin, grasping her Magic Wand, drew a crescent of fire that devoured all of Norma’s Frost Ice Arrows.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the wait for Chuyuan finally came.

He aimed his bow and arrow at Yang Yu’s temple once more.

Before, Chuyuan had seen Yang Yu use ”Interception” once.

This time, he timed the disappearance of Yang Yu’s ”Interception” and released the arrow a bit earlier.

The arrow made a faint sound as it cut through the air, silently closing in on Yang Yu.

Yang Yu lifted his Sword Blade and sliced the arrow in two.

This attack could not be considered a failure, rather, Yang Yu slicing the arrow in two was part of Chuyuan’s plan.

Yang Yu had just demonstrated his skills to Chuyuan.

Such long-range fired arrows, as long as he could detect them a bit earlier, could be avoided.

But, Yang Yu had companions by his side this time; he couldn’t dodge.

To protect his companions, the most appropriate method was to lift his sword and slice the arrow in two.

And this, exactly played into Chuyuan’s trap.

The arrow cut in two by Yang Yu flashed and instantly expanded and glowed, bursting open, spewing out a purple Poison Fog.

Making such an arrow was not simple.

After multiple failures, Chuyuan barely managed to compress the magic power in the arrow, which could detonate his Poison Hair core.

Since he could not penetrate the skin, let him actively inhale the Poison Fog.

The Poison Fog came unexpectedly, and Yang Yu used his shield as a fan, frantically waving away the fog.

But some of the Poison Fog still mixed into the air, and Bai Jin and Iyas were nearby; the consequences of them inhaling the fog were unthinkable.

”Lotcar, jump right!”

Commanding Lotcar to stand, Yang Yu had Lotcar leap towards the opposite direction of the dispersing Poison Fog to avoid the spreading mist.

Merely inhaling a few breaths of the poisoned air during the command, Yang Yu felt a touch of dizziness, and after swallowing an Antidote, his symptoms finally eased.

The dose determines the poison.

A small amount of inhaled Poison Fog could still be detoxified with a standard Antidote, but inhaling too much, the toxins would certainly find ways to erode the body, gradually stripping away one’s ability to fight.

Terrifyingly, Yang Yu did not know the amount of this ”quantitative change” that causes a ”qualitative change.”

The monkey-shaped Demon confronting them was very cunning.

If large doses of liquid toxin did not work, then use a small dose, transforming it into a fog, spreading it around.

As long as he used the Poison Fog to trap his opponent, then deployed traps and the skyborne Enchanting Demon for suppression, he could gradually whittle down his opponent.

If he were that Synthetic Demon, he would surely come up with a similar strategy.

Facing an opponent who employs abnormal status in combat, the longer the battle drags on, the less advantageous it becomes.

Unable to clear this Poison Fog, it would inevitably become a situation where each breath was a gamble with one’s life.

A swift battle was essential.

”Lotcar, can you pinpoint that monkey’s position?”

”Quite difficult.”

The smell of blood around them gradually thickened, and furthermore, a certain amount of Poison Fog mixed in, relying solely on smell, Lotcar could no longer locate Chuyuan’s position.

As for hearing, the surrounding noise was incessant, very noisy.

If that monkey did not emit any extremely characteristic sounds, but only continually moved agilely through the forest, coordinating with the sounds of traps...

It would also be hard for Lotcar to distinguish which sounds came from the monkey.
