The three cargo trucks successively drove out of the barrier and appeared in the wilderness, where an endless dense forest came into people's view again.
Yan Luo sat in the cab of the second cargo truck. Since there were only two seats in the truck cab, the co-driver seat of the lead truck was used by Julia, so he had to come to the cab of the second truck.
[Yan Luo, can you hear me?]
A signal came from the car radio in the front, to which Yan Luo helplessly responded: "I hear you."
In the cab of the lead truck, Julia, under the driver's guidance, was enthusiastically playing with the car radio.
According to the driver, the car radio had more functions when it could connect to the internet, but since there was no internet in the Elf World, the car radio only had a short-distance communication function left.
For Julia, this kind of thing was novel enough.
She thought, if elves could also communicate over long distances, perhaps it could eliminate the barriers between cities and also be convenient for rangers.
The first batch of goods purchased by Gass City included walkie-talkies, which were said to perform 'short' distance communication like car radios.
This 'short' was relative; in fact, the communication range was as much as ten kilometers.
Although elves could use magic for long-distance communication, this thing was simpler and more convenient than magic.
[Alert! High-energy reaction detected! Alert! High-energy reaction detected!]
Just then, the car radar in the lead truck suddenly issued an alarm, startling both the driver and Julia.
However, Julia had heard a similar alarm when she and Yan Luo encountered a level four demon in the past.
Glancing at the radar's scanned reaction, the driver communicated via the car radio with Yan Luo: [Yan Luo, it's a City-breaking Level Demon!]
"Try to escape; we'll talk if we can't get away."
If it really came to fighting, Yan Luo couldn't protect the three trucks, so he had them try to escape first.
The drivers of the three trucks were skilled experts, and they all simultaneously stepped on the gas, accelerating the trucks. Despite the ever-changing and treacherous dense forest, they dared to push the trucks to speeds of 100 kilometers per hour.
For cargo-laden trucks, even on smooth highways, this speed would be quite dangerous, let alone now in the dense forest they were in.
The trucks sped away, quickly distancing themselves from the high-energy reaction detected by the radar.
Even when the reaction from the City-breaking Level Demon disappeared from the radar's scan range, none of the three truck drivers relaxed, maintaining their speed to let the trucks run wildly.
The escape lasted about half an hour, with the trucks gradually slowing down after mutual reporting and confirmation.
Now they were a convoy, and if one vehicle sped up or slowed down without coordination, it could lead to confusion and mutual hindrance.
Therefore, whether speeding up or slowing down, mutual reporting and confirmation were necessary.
Julia had never seen such a scene before and couldn't help but marvel at humanity's creativity in this regard.
The elf legion didn't have a concept of strict command enforcement; they typically fought individually, as there was no need for group operations in hunting demons or fighting against demon tides.
At most, they relied on coordination from usual training and activities together, but they wouldn't integrate individuals into a collective through language and action like humans.
After narrowly escaping from one City-breaking Level Demon, it wasn't long before the convoy encountered another one.
Truly, the Elf World, coexisting with the Abyss for at least over eight thousand years, was more dangerous than the Abyss itself.
Even though Yan Luo acted in the Abyss before the demon tides, he rarely encountered City-breaking Level Demons so frequently.
[Yan Luo, what about this time?]
"Go around it!"
Although Yan Luo had the ability to defeat City-breaking Level Demons, it didn't mean he could win against all such demons.
And with his constitution, once detected by a City-breaking Level Demon, it would relentlessly pursue him.
It was for this reason that Yan Luo hoped to escape beyond the demon's hunting range before it realized his presence.
Even though they hadn't relaxed for long and now had to escape with all their might, none of the three drivers had any complaints.
They were all once Hunters and knew how terrifying City-breaking Level Demons were; running was the right thing to do when facing them.
Moreover, they had experienced more grueling situations when they were Hunters, so encountering a City-breaking Level Demon wouldn't make them grumble.
Unfortunately, this City-breaking Level Demon seemed to have detected Yan Luo and was quickly approaching them.
Noticing this, Yan Luo sighed, took out weapons and equipment from his space box, fastened his tactical vest, and let the thermo-axe enter a preheating state.
"All right, slow down; I'll go meet it."
After speaking, Yan Luo opened the truck window and jumped out of the cab of the second cargo truck.
When his feet landed, his body wasn't carried by inertia but was instead firmly rooted to the ground.
After stretching his limbs to get his body warmed up, Yan Luo exhaled a breath of white mist and gripped the handle of the thermo-axe in reverse.
He strapped the thermo-axe's weapon box to his back, and the pockets on the front of his tactical vest were filled with tactical tools, including a grappling gun.
Yan Luo stood there, waiting for the arrival of the City-breaking Level Demon.
The ground vibrations went from faint to strong, accompanied by rising dust clouds and the sounds of clattering hooves, as the City-breaking Level Demon drew nearer.
Yan Luo withdrew the thermo-axe, feeling the high temperature emanating from the blade.
—It's here!
A shadow suddenly crossed through the dense forest and appeared in front of Yan Luo. Immediately, it spat fire from its mouth, scorching and drying the ground where Yan Luo stood.
However, in the second before the shadow breathed fire, Yan Luo had already leapt away from where he was standing.
One second might be brief for an ordinary person, but for Yan Luo, he could use that second to complete actions like jumping back and leaping up.
Jumping away from where he stood, Yan Luo leaped high, holding the axe in both hands, and swung it down toward the City-breaking Level Demon's head.
It was a goat, albeit with three eyes and a mouth full of fangs. Its two horns were excessively long, twisted into spirals, curling twice.
Moreover, only one-fifth of its body was covered with wool, with scales replacing the wool in the rest of its body.
Were it not that this goat walked on all fours, Yan Luo might have thought this goat was the prototype of the 'demon' from Blue Star mythology and legend.
In any case, let's call it the demon goat!
After breathing fire, the demon goat had just raised its head when it saw an axe descending from above, slamming hard into its third eye.
A sudden warning of danger triggered Yan Luo's intuition, and after breaking the demon goat's third eye, he immediately jumped away, with only a few droplets of the eyeball fluid landing on him.
"Hmm?"
Yan Luo suddenly felt the muscles on his cheek tightening, and upon touching it, he found that part of the muscle had become as hard as titanium alloy.
It had a semblance of petrification!
Not only his cheek, but his clothes and pants were also stained by some of the eyeball fluid from the demon goat's third eye.
If he wasn't mistaken, the demon goat's third eye might have the ability to petrify living things, but it hadn't had time to use this ability before its third eye was smashed by Yan Luo.
Perhaps this was also the guidance of intuition.
"Awoo!"
The demon goat let out a wretched cry, then, in anger, lowered its head and charged at Yan Luo.
This goat was six meters tall, and even with its head lowered, it couldn't reach Yan Luo.
But the charging momentum was frightening, and Yan Luo didn't dare to resist it directly, lightly pushing off the ground with his toes, his figure sliding to the side.
At this moment, the demon goat suddenly turned its head and spewed a mouthful of flames toward Yan Luo.
As the heat wave surged from the front, Yan Luo frowned and immediately quickened his steps, retreating rapidly.
This retreat took him forty meters back.
Yan Luo suddenly stopped, knees slightly bent, launching himself like a cannonball.
But at this time, the demon goat had already repaired its third eyeball.
The eyeball rotated, taking in the figure of Yan Luo.
While running, Yan Luo realized his muscles started to tense up, so without hesitation, he tossed a smoke bomb, enveloping himself in smoke.
After the smoke appeared, the sensation of muscle tension began to disappear, indicating that for the demon goat to 'petrify' someone, it needed to see its target.
It seemed more like magic than a superpower!
Yan Luo moved, hiding behind a tree, then put the thermo-axe back in the weapon box, turned to face the tree he was hiding behind, jumped twice in place, and leaped up suddenly.
With impeccable control over his strength, he leaped right onto an eighteen-foot branch without making much noise.
Looking down upon the demon goat below, Yan Luo couldn't help but admire the ingenuity.
