Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The surging Holy Light waves gradually ceased, the battleship distanced itself from the Enchanting Demon, and the Spiny Scale Lizard was driven off the battleship by Lang Yi and his team, leaving trails of various colored toxins.

The Spiny Scale Lizards clinging to the hull were unaffected by the Sacred Ripples; they continued climbing upwards along the gaps left by their companions.

Even watching their comrades being blasted off the ship, their resolve remained unshaken.

Behind them was their race.

To ensure the survival of their race and to make the race occupying their ancestors’ territory pay, reclaiming the island that rightfully belonged to them, the Spiny Scale Lizard tribe had sold their lives and souls to Count Blood.

If their death could pave the way for their race’s continuation, they were willing to die on the battlefield.

Benglie Ci Lin was trapped by Holy Light Restriction, under the enhanced Sacred Ripples by Iyas’s reinforcement, nearly fell into the sea; he held tightly onto the railing and the edge of the deck to avoid being thrown overboard.

Yang Yu was unaffected by the Sacred Ripples, moving freely along the side of the ship.

As the Poison Fog dispersed, Yang Yu immediately rushed towards Benglie Ci Lin.

With half of the hull dyed with Poison Liquid, Yang Yu tread lightly and swiftly, bypassing the unaffected areas to reach beneath Benglie Ci Lin.

Along the way, Yang Yu encountered numerous Spiny Scale Lizards obstructing him; they clung to the hull, firing water jets, Poison Scales, or Air Cannons, various attacks densely packed.

Using Climbing to maneuver deftly, Yang Yu wasted no time on them, following the principle of capturing the king first to close the distance to Benglie Ci Lin in an instant.

With a tail swing to release kicking moves, Benglie Ci Lin did his utmost to hinder Yang Yu’s attack, but Yang Yu easily dodged Benglie Ci Lin’s attacks as if dancing, leaving countless scars on the temporarily unprotected body of Benglie Ci Lin.

When the effect of Sacred Ripples completely disappeared, Benglie Ci Lin was already covered in wounds, with Yang Yu showing no mercy, wielding his sword to strike relentlessly.

”Don’t get too arrogant!”

Benglie Ci Lin roared, transforming from a human-like Lizard people form increasingly into a real lizard, its mouth full of sharp teeth, claws glowing sharply.

Black Magic flowed continuously from Benglie Ci Lin, swaying in the wind.

Benglie Ci Lin seemed to be clad in numerous black ribbons.

In this form, Benglie Ci Lin’s total attributes hadn’t increased much, but each attribute became more reasonable, with unused Intelligence largely converted into Strength and Speed.

This form can only be maintained for ten minutes, Benglie Ci Lin must hurry to complete the task, killing all enemies.

Suddenly, the battleship thundered with a roar, as if it collided with something at the bottom.

The Spiny Scale Lizards clinging to the hull bottom were caught in layers of mud, with large amounts of sand breaching their protective air bubbles and intertwining with the air in their bubble gills, blocking their noses and mouths.

The battleship piloted by Luo Luosi collided with the island chain’s shallow beach; the island Yang Yu and the rest planned to stay at had wider shallows than they imagined.

Realizing it had hit the shallows, Luo Luosi instead sped up towards the forest on the island rather than slowing down,

”If you like clinging to the ship bottom, then eat sand to your fill!”

As the island approached closer, the seawater grew shallower, Luo Luosi’s battleship plunged into the beach like a distressed whale.

Countless Spiny Scale Lizards were buried in the sand by Luo Luosi’s ship.

After landing on the beach, Luo Luosi did not shut down the ship’s engine; propelled by inertia, the huge vessel slid across the sand and plunged into the forest, startling countless resting seabirds.

The battleship charged onto the beach, bumping along, causing Benglie Ci Lin to nearly fall off the ship.

Climbing proved reliable, almost unharmed by the jostling, Yang Yu swung his sword at Benglie Ci Lin, inflicting several more wounds.

Despite Benglie Ci Lin’s transformation, his position was severely disadvantageous.

Luo Luosi piloted the battleship into the forest, Benglie Ci Lin simply let go, falling from the hull onto the sandy ground, watching Yang Yu and the rest’s battleship crash into the woods.

Bold decision moving the battleship to the land, certainly preventing sinking, but do you really trust you can escape our pursuit?

Benglie Ci Lin watched the gradually halting ship, while Yang Yu observed the incoming Enchanting Demon and the ripples flickering on the distant sea.

Several Spiny Scale Lizards swam ashore, and wounded Spiny Scale Lizards crawled out along the ship’s long trail.

Some Spiny Scale Lizards twisted their heads one hundred eighty degrees, nonchalantly resetting them, watching their near-death Blood Volume slowly recover.

Yang Yu silently exclaimed, ”What a terrifying construction technology.”

Branches brushed overhead as the battleship crashed into one tree after another, advancing increasingly difficult, prompting Luo Luosi to shut off the ship’s engine.

The ship crashed into several more trees, fully stopping, causing Luo Luosi to swiftly disengage several activated Barriers, allowing the ship more Magic power for self-repair.

After some thought, Luo Luosi even disabled the Barrier protecting Slime and reducing Slime’s weight, then used a shell amplifier to notify every part of the ship,

”To avoid sinking the ship, I’ve brought it here! Thorny Scale Lizard is a semi-sea-dwelling race, more adapted to underwater activity, land renders them sluggish, this is our chance. Enchanting Demon struggles to move in such a forest too, use the terrain wisely, wage a splendid battle.”

Hearing Luo Luosi’s announcement, Yang Yu realized Luo Luosi was abandoning the ship to prevent the Slime hidden in a barrel from being exposed.

Yang Yu vocally urged all crew, ”All hands, disembark for battle! This gives you far more space than onboard; show them your strength!”

At Yang Yu’s call, the expeditionary team, cautiously navigating the poison pond pooling on the ship, rapidly abandoned the vessel using the surrounding trees.

Bai Jin leapt off the ship, using Dancing in the Air to soar through the sky, chanting magic to strike the remaining Spiny Scale Lizards near the ship, freezing three to ice statues, smashing them without reservation.

This scene pierced Benglie Ci Lin’s heart like a thorn, as he muttered under his breath,

”Are they aiming for my subordinates first to wipe out my troops, then deal with me slowly? Each of my subordinates is incredibly precious, and each is our tribe’s hope, how could I allow you to eradicate them!”

Benglie Ci Lin’s muttering turned to growls, with Spiny Scales on his neck extending and transforming into porcupine-like bristles, secreting copious poison, firing towards Bai Jin.

Bai Jin immediately halted the attack, raising Defense.
