The pale earth was dyed by flames. As he was close to the command area, Mu Hua confirmed that the further west he went in the Death Canyon, the stronger the monsters here were, and the more complete the defense system built by the monster forces was.
Unlike the villages and towns scattered around most monster cities, there are many caves where the undead live around the cities of the undead forces.
Castles and fortresses that look ordinary are often besieged from all sides when the horn of war is sounded.
After demolishing another undead city, Mu Hua finally encountered a monster that could stop his brutal attack.
The night was turned into day by the firelight.
Dozens of bone dragons, together with five magic dragons, fought with the magic dragons summoned by Mu Hua in the sky.
On the ground, there was no surging sea of bones that was the signature of the undead. Instead, a headless knight and a dozen elemental evil spirits resisted the charge of Salamander and the aggregate of fire elements.
There were more than a dozen elemental evil spirits with flames burning all over their bodies. Although the temperature of the flames on Salamander's body was much higher than theirs, the erosion of the fire element could only intensify the flames on their bodies. Only the tearing force of "flesh-to-flesh" between the two could cause substantial damage to each other.
The elemental evil spirits, which were the size of ordinary humans, were very flexible. They shuttled swiftly around Salamander. Under their attack, Salamander's body seemed to shrink continuously.
But the headless knight was even more taboo for Mu Hua than these elemental evil spirits. The blood and energy of the headless knight condensed into a giant aura statue.
The giant statue, which was not much smaller than the elemental aggregate, was like a projection of Xing Tian. It pressed down the fire elemental aggregate and beat it violently, breaking it apart and reuniting it at once.
Blood and Qi take shape. This is a headless knight who has completed the blood and qi transformation. The colossus is condensed from blood and qi and is controlled by the headless knight. It can display all the combat skills mastered by the headless knight.
This ability allows small creatures to fight head-on with giant creatures. For humans, they must at least complete a life transition before they can have access to this ability.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The repeated collisions stirred up waves of fire and brought about sounds like explosions, whether it was the Salamander or the elemental aggregate.
Although it was just a fight between individuals, the fierce confrontation caused flames to spread all over the city. The owner here did not let the skeleton undead besiege Mu Hua, and also prevented them from being harmed by the flames on the battlefield.
The heavily guarded city was filled with liches, monsters, and the Baran demon who couldn't be distinguished as a wizard or a warrior, as well as powerful crossbows and arrows, and magic cannons arranged on the city walls.
The length of a single city wall is about two kilometers, so it is not considered a very large city. There are probably many floating mines in the sky and magic traps near the city, so the city defense is very strict.
The attack from the city drove Mu Hua a thousand meters away from the city. Without thinking too much, looking at several human servants standing next to the monsters on the city wall, Mu Hua also knew that his own information had been leaked. They were probably guarding against Doris's death.
At this time, Mu Hua really didn't dare to let Doris throw the doom of death randomly, because the doom of death was ineffective against the undead. And just looking at the power temporarily displayed by this city, Mu Hua didn't want to provoke the monsters in the city to fight with him to the death.
Humans need a life transition before they can try to cultivate blood and qi to transform into human form, but monsters don't need that. Even low-level goblins seem to be superior to humans in terms of life level. This is the fundamental reason why monsters always call humans lower creatures.
As far as Mu Hua observed, the strength of the headless knight who was beating the elemental aggregate in front of him should not be outstanding. At least Mu Hua felt that even if the headless knight was stronger than him, his strength was only limited.
Moreover, this headless knight is wearing a soul-binding spell, which is a top-level spell that can only target one individual at a time and can seal the soul magic of the recipient. It is very likely that this headless knight has a very high mental attribute.
To put it bluntly, this headless knight might be better at casting spells, and it cast soul confinement on itself and gave up casting spells, probably to prevent Mu Hua from using the Bite of Jealousy to attack it.
A headless knight who can fight with a LV99 fire element aggregate, but whose details Mu Hua cannot figure out. However, this headless knight should not be the lord of the city here.
On the top of the city, there is a headless knight surrounded by demons. He is even more impressive. He may be a warrior who specializes in physical fitness. Mu Hua suspects that his spiritual attribute is not very good, so he dare not fight him together with the headless knight under the city. Mu Hua is definitely not able to take over this city for the time being. Maybe he can try to get a LV99 ice element aggregate or some top-level summoned beasts.
The other side didn't seem to want to anger Mu Hua. The undead were not afraid of fighting, but if there was only one living person, Mu Hua could fight and run, so it would be a bit of a loss to fight with him.
A giant bat flew towards the city. It was flying very slowly, but it was carrying a human being.
Avoiding the chaos of the fire beasts, the giant bat landed a hundred meters away from Mu Hua. A human demon raised his hands timidly. Although he was cast with defensive magic, the high temperature air still evaporated the sweat on his face in an instant.
"Your Majesty! I bring the goodwill of the city lord. I think we should have a talk." The demon shouted from afar. Seeing that Mu Hua was indifferent and seemed helpless, he slowly moved towards Mu Hua.
"Your Majesty, you should not stay here for long. The Commander's Fortress has sent an envoy here, and the other party will arrive in half an hour at most." Ten meters away from Mu Hua, the words of the demon finally attracted Mu Hua's attention.
An undead wizard who still had some necromancer habits looked at the other party. Mu Hua sighed in his heart. Even if he had not transformed into a lich, necromancers still accounted for a large proportion among the demons.
Speaking of it, the Necromancer can be regarded as the earliest spellcasting profession of mankind, but perhaps because of the frequent appearance of demons, the outside world's evaluation of the Necromancer has become negative.
"Messenger?" The raven sounded an early warning from high in the sky. Mu Hua was still cautiously guarding against any movements in the direction of the city.
"Yes, it should be a wailing banshee riding a magic dragon. Although she may not be harmful to you, with her around, all your summons will become useless." The demon pondered over his words and did not finish speaking, as if he was worried about irritating Mu Hua.
"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to come here. Death Canyon is the gateway to Bloody Hills, and the income here is far less than that of Snow Ridge Ranch."
"Lord Yekis does not want to have a conflict with you. Believe me, the lord is a headless knight who is more powerful than Krepnos. Krepnos only relied on flattery to sit in the position of commander. You have no reason to attack here." The demon said carefully.
"Oh, you have a grudge against Xueling Ranch? This Yekis, or Krepnos?" Mu Hua sneered. Are you trying to divert the blame? You're targeting Xueling Ranch specifically.
"No matter who it is, if the adventurers organize an attack on Snow Ridge Ranch, Death Canyon will not send reinforcements." said the Demon.
"Tell me the details if you don't want to die." A rope of fire was wrapped around Mu Hua's hand. Mu Hua bent his elbow and raised his palm. The body of the demon opposite him stiffened and he didn't dare to breathe for a moment.
"Yes, I said, I said, the Lord does not like the undead. Snow Ridge Ranch will cultivate potential demons for the Lord. Those demons will continue to reduce the Lord's attention to the Undead Canyon, so the undead demons in this courtyard don't like Snow Ridge Ranch very much." The demon servant spoke faster.
"Have you met the Lord of the Courtyard? If you lower your focus, what about the Bloody Hills?" Mu Hua asked.
"No, I haven't seen the lord yet. As for the Bloody Hills, I think Yekis doesn't dare to offend Commander Jiamene over there." The Demon speculated.
"Are you being sent here to die? Is it worth it?" Mu Hua shook his head. It was normal for a demon to have never seen the lord. It was impossible for you to meet the president of the enemy country by being a defector.
Mu Hua's feeling at this moment was not sympathy for this follower of the devil. If someone could be a follower of the devil and still be alive and well, he basically couldn't be a good person. Mu Hua habitually pretended to empathize with him and wanted to see if this follower of the devil could reveal some valuable information to him.
No sympathy, no cynicism. If it's useless, just kill it before running away.
"My Lord, Your Majesty, you cannot kill me. No, don't get me wrong, this is not a threat. It is more valuable for you to keep me alive."
"I can help you communicate with the city lord and pass on information."
"If you do not harass this place, and if you attack other commanders' territories, Yekis will allow you to hire his warriors. I can get the best conditions for you."
Mu Hua thought he had performed well, but unfortunately the demon slave seemed to see that he had bad intentions at first sight. The demon slave's hasty words left Mu Hua speechless. This guy was quite clever, and it seemed that there was no point in keeping him. (End of this chapter)
