Zhang Xinglie's memory was astonishing, and he whispered, "They are all Trial Takers, I remember most of them!"

Both sides paused for a moment, then rushed towards each other simultaneously.

Zhou Leng's gaze swiftly swept over the eight Demons.

Each of the eight Demons was at the Late Stage of Body Refining, with sinister smiles on their faces.

A Prayer, skilled in Mental Attacks, with a mouth taking up half his face.

Two Evil Tumor Warriors, three meters tall, round like balls, with thick arms hanging to the ground, covered with variously colored lumps.

The surface of the lumps was wrapped in a transparent membrane, with flesh writhing inside.

Evil Tumor Warriors excelled at disease and venom attacks.

Two Maids of Suffering, each riding a Human-faced Wolf, wielding a Spinal Bone Spike Sword.

Two Humpbacked Horse Demons, headless with necks concave like a chrysanthemum.

Massive in shape, with a hunchback throbbing like a heartbeat, sending power throughout the body.

A Whip of Suffering, humanoid with dark red spikes all over, with blood-stained whips slowly emerging from his fingers, dragging on the ground.

The whips bore barbs, laced with potent venom.

"Really damn disgusting, everyone be careful!" Molten Hammer whispered.

Zhou Leng and the others were extremely tense, as the higher-level the Demon, the more revolting its methods.

The two Evil Tumor Warriors each bit off a large purple lump on their arms and started chewing.

The purple lumps released power, emitting disease black mist about a foot thick, causing even nearby Demons to hurriedly distance themselves.

Zhou Leng whispered, "I'll kill the Prayer first, you guys create an opportunity for me."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Among the eight Demons, the Prayer's Mental Attack was the most troublesome, and no one present dared claim they could withstand it.

The seven Demons shielded the Prayer behind them.

"Prepare to cover your ears for my Lion's Roar Skill," Zhang Xinglie said.

"Alright."

As both sides closed in, Zhang Xinglie suddenly stood firm on the spot, channeling Qi into his Dantian, and tongue burst with thunder.

"Roar..."

Thunderous Lion's Roar echoed throughout the cave.

The Demons in front mostly froze for a moment, only the Prayer and Whip of Suffering recovered quickly.

Zhou Leng stepped on Flying Crane Technique, crossing over thirty meters in a blink, bypassing the front Demons, appearing beside the Prayer.

The Prayer recoiled in terror, opening his large mouth, spewing forth a white Spiritual Shock.

The Whip of Suffering waved its blood-stained whips, aiming to entrap Zhou Leng's waist and abdomen.

Zhou Leng's Mountain of Will rippled, shaking off the Mental Attack.

Bending backward, he dodged the bloodstained whip, his feet swiftly sweeping under the Prayer's legs.

The Prayer lost balance, falling onto Zhou Leng, both tumbling down.

The Whip of Suffering swung again, lashing towards Zhou Leng, who got up, absorbing a whip on his back, lifting the Prayer with both hands.

Then, his right knee thrust upwards, his hands gripping the Prayer, slammed down violently.

His left knee collided with the Prayer's lower back.

Crack...

The Prayer split in half at the waist.

Zhou Leng punched, smashing the Prayer's skull, rolling away to evade the next whip.

"Kill!" Zhang Xinglie roared as he approached.

"Kill!" The Mountain River Oak charged close, then, due to excessive speed, lost balance, colliding like a bowling ball, knocking down all the ready Demons.

The Demons slipped underfoot, several actually unable to rise for a moment.

The Mountain River Oak growled low, kneeling on the ice, pinning the Humpbacked Horse Demon with his left arm, smashing its hump with his right fist.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

The Humpbacked Horse Demon thrashed wildly on the ice, neck whips flailing madly at Mountain River Oak.

Bam!

The hump erupted, juices spraying everywhere.

The Mountain River Oak reached its large hands into the back, tearing, splitting the Humpbacked Horse Demon in two.

The other Maid of Suffering swung a sword towards Mountain River Oak.

"Get lost!" With a running start, the Mountain River Origin leaped, body in the air, True Qi surging, huge feet kicked the Maid of Suffering's chest and abdomen.

The Maid of Suffering's chest and abdomen blew apart, sent flying back, screamed, crashing into an icy wall, falling silent.

The Human-faced Wolf beneath howled in agony.

Molten Hammer and Black Barrel knew they couldn't stand firm, each pounced on the other Maid of Suffering and Humpbacked Horse Demon, fighting directly on the ground.

Zhang Xinglie charged directly at the Whip of Suffering attacking Zhou Leng.

The two Evil Tumor Warriors, bloated bodies making them sluggish, crawled halfway, slipping with a thud back to the ground.

Zhou Leng dodged the Whip of Suffering's attack, scanning the battlefield, spotting the Evil Tumor Warriors shrouded in disease mist, hesitating for a moment.

Attacking them would inevitably expose him to disease and poison, impossible to avoid completely, this was what made some Demons so disgusting.

Zhou Leng saw everyone else fighting, took a deep breath, and lunged at the nearest Evil Tumor Warrior.

Meanwhile, Mountain River Origin, having killed the Maid of Suffering, charged the other Evil Tumor Warrior.

Zhou Leng and Mountain River Origin's eyes met, nodding simultaneously.

Some things, someone always has to do.

Zhou Leng circled behind the Evil Tumor Warrior, lashing out with a kick.

The Evil Tumor Warrior's right arm, covered in lumps, suddenly blocked.

Smash...

His right leg shattered three lumps on the Evil Tumor Warrior's right arm.

The power of poison and disease splattered.

Hiss...

Venom, like concentrated sulfuric acid, landed on Zhou Leng's skin.

If it were an ordinary martial artist in the Body Refining Stage, flesh would dissolve and bones would melt, erasing half a leg.

But Zhou Leng's True Qi protected him, and with his Steel Skin, only the outer skin was corroded, not penetrating the muscles.

"Hehehe..."

The Evil Tumor Warrior couldn't stand, so he kneeled on the ground, crawling forward, lunging straight at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng pretended to charge forward, and the Evil Tumor Warrior suddenly swung his arms, trying to embrace Zhou Leng, using his tumor advantage to attack.

However, Zhou Leng moved as if on solid ground on the ice.

He stepped with the Eight Trigrams Step, his figure swiftly turning, circling to the side, left foot firmly on the ground, right leg sweeping horizontally.

Bang!

Directly hit the head of the Evil Tumor Warrior.

The Evil Tumor Warrior's vision went black, rolling away.

Zhou Leng followed up, like kicking a soccer ball at the kickoff, his right leg stretched high back, then drew a large arc falling down.

His right leg infused with True Qi, his right foot slammed into the neck of the Evil Tumor Warrior like a cannonball.

Poof...

The neck of the Evil Tumor Warrior was kicked cleanly broken, his huge head flying off, spinning, crashing into the ice wall.

Then, Zhou Leng dodged while shouting, "Stay away from the Evil Tumor Warrior..."

Before the words were finished, Zhou Leng suddenly dove to the ground.

The obese body of the Evil Tumor Warrior bulged rapidly, then exploded with a bang.

Toxic and diseased corrosive fluids sprayed everywhere, falling indiscriminately on both Demons and everyone around.

The fluid was so dense that even though Zhou Leng was prepared, a few drops still splashed onto his back.

Then came the voice of Mountain and River Origin.

"The second one..."

Another Evil Tumor Warrior exploded.

In no time, six people got up, looking at the chaotic battlefield.

The six had various scars and wounds on their bodies, Mountain and River Origin had large and many wounds, but his massive body made them seem less severe.

"Demons are truly disgusting, even more so than Beastmen." Molten Hammer looked down at the corroded holes in his flesh, slowly bandaging them up.

Everyone took out various healing medicines and Antitoxic Pills, and Zhou Leng also cut a Healing Fruit into six pieces, giving one piece to each person.

Before long, the six finished tidying up.

Mountain River Oak said, "Luckily, we knew the Evil Tumor Warriors were disgusting. If not, I could have been disgusted for a whole day." He glanced at the wounds on his body, knowing they would last a lifetime unless he advanced to the Innate stage.

"How are you all? Are the poison and disease affecting you?" Zhou Leng asked.

Mountain and River Origin looked at the Demon corpses, snorted coldly, and said, "This level of power can't injure my body."

Zhang Xinglie said indifferently, "Just superficial wounds."

His back was riddled with corrosive wounds that looked like a map of flesh and blood.

Molten Hammer shrugged and said, "We Dwarves have strong poison resistance; the concentrated is the essence."

Zhou Leng scanned the crowd.

Some had faced the Celestial Ladder, some had experienced the Light of the Ancient Gods and the Ancestral Protection of Dwarves, and others were giants who could stand equal with the Giant Dragon. This group's strength far exceeded expectations.

Zhou Leng's gaze lingered on Mountain and River Origin for a moment.

This was the first time seeing Mountain and River Origin in action, his fist technique seemed to contain a peculiar power.

Not clear what it was, but it was very strong.

He had only felt it in some videos of Innate powerhouses.

Zhang Xinglie also glanced at Mountain and River Origin, recalling the powerful details of Mountain and River Origin in his mind.

Everyone rummaged through the Demons' storage items, most being used by the Demons. They picked useful things and divided them into six portions, one for each person.

Suddenly, Zhou Leng asked, "What about the prisoners?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Forgot."

Zhou Leng frowned and said, "I feel something's not right."

As he spoke, he kicked apart the Demons' belongings and used the Demonized Watch as a light source to search carefully.

Some familiar black cards with snowflakes appeared before his eyes.

He had seen them during the Celestial Ladder.

Zhou Leng picked up the Black Snow Card and looked at Black Barrel, saying, "This should be the symbol of the Ice Snow Divine Sect, right?"

Black Barrel nodded and said, "Yes, my friend also has one. He said that when the Ice Snow Divine Sect takes action, they would give some Demon Spirit Cards to allies in advance."

Zhou Leng recalled the previous Demon Spirit Warriors, and slowly said, "We entered here by chance, and so did the Demons. Two such coincidences, then it doesn't seem like a coincidence. The cave we found is likely deliberately hollowed out and sealed. Molten Hammer..."

Zhou Leng turned his head and asked, "Thinking back, is it possible that the ground of that cave was long hollowed out and then sealed with magical power, and it was only the earthquake that caused it to crack, resulting in our falling into the passage previously dug."

Molten Hammer nodded and said, "Very possible."

Black Barrel said, "Thinking carefully, the previous earthquake didn't seem right either, not much like a natural earthquake, more like some kind of magical explosion. When we Dwarves blast mines, it feels similar."

Zhou Leng looked at Shanhe Brothers and asked, "Are there any legends about the Frost Giants and the Stone Carrying Festival?"

Mountain and River Origin pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Indeed, there are quite a few."

"Including legends related to the Avalanche Mountain Range. When the Giants ascended to the heavens with the stars, they traveled through the Avalanche Mountain Range and then ascended to the divine at the Avalanche Plateau, becoming Starry Giants."

"The most noble Frost Giants of ancient times are all buried beneath the Avalanche Plateau."

"This passage is very likely a tomb of the Frost Giants."

Mountain River Oak was stunned for a moment and said hastily, "I remember! I've seen similar murals, the tombs of Frost Giants are like this, having wide underground passages completely covered with class-like magical power ice."

Mountain and River Origin's face changed, and he said, "The Ice Snow Divine Sect and the Demons are excavating the Frost Giants' tombs! Because around the Stone Carrying Festival, the Giant Race has a tradition of honoring ancestors, and the destination of the first trial of the Giant Trial is the Giant Ancestral Mausoleum. At such a time, the defense of the Frost Giants' tomb would undoubtedly be weaker."

In an instant, everyone connected everything.
