Inside the tent, the flickering lamplight cast everyone's shadows onto the rough canvas walls.Qin Tian sat in the main seat, his fingertips tapping the table. As the eight battalion commanders and several core cadres took their seats, the sound of their military boots on the ground had just faded when he unrolled a hand-drawn defense map on the table.On the map, dense red dots, like prairie fires, spread along the defense lines of the three battle groups, a shocking sight."These are the enemies our three battle groups are currently facing," Qin Tian's fingertip traced the densest red area. "From the deployment, the danger of the Infernal Demon Sea is much more severe than the defense lines we previously guarded."He paused, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) then recounted what he had witnessed in the Star Kite Battle Group—the incessant demon tides day and night, the exhaustion of warriors fighting with injuries,and the entire battle group stretched to its breaking point."The Star Kite Battle Group, with a force of nearly ten thousand, and five Sixth-tier experts, was actually pushed to the brink of collapse."As his voice fell, the tent instantly plunged into silence. The orange-yellow lamplight illuminated everyone's grave faces.Even the battle-hardened battalion commanders couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts upon hearing such a situation—to be able to push such a large battle group to desperation, the danger of the Infernal Demon Sea was clearly far more terrifying than they had anticipated."I believe that if we strictly defend, we will face the same predicament as the Star Kite Battle Group: demons will assault our defenses wave after wave, exhausting everyone, and casualties will continue to rise."Qin Tian paused, then said with a serious tone, "Therefore, we must take the initiative to attack."Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, but they didn't seem surprised by Qin Tian's decision.Because they knew that, compared to other battle groups, the Crimson Gold Battle Group had an advantage that outsiders couldn't match: powerful mobility. If other battle groups were to launch an active attack, and other demons attacked their camp during their operation, they would face the desperate situation of being attacked from both front and back—the remaining forces would be inherently weak, and a hasty return to aid would only result in them being torn to shreds by the demons. Moreover, once a frontline offensive was blocked, they would be in an even more difficult position, unable to advance or retreat.But the Crimson Gold Battle Group was different.Their commander's spatial teleportation allowed the main force to instantly return to defense, and their swift mobility was like an invisible barrier for the camp.Even deep within the Demon Cave, as long as the commander gave the order, the warriors could quickly retreat to a safe zone. This kind of confidence was something the Star Kite Battle Group, and indeed most battle groups, could only dream of.Li Wufeng leaned forward slightly, his tone carrying a hint of certainty: "With the Commander's teleportation ability, our confidence in taking the initiative to attack is indeed much stronger than the Star Kite Battle Group's."Qin Tian drew a large circle on the map with his pen, encompassing many red dots: "Precisely because of this, I deliberately added a surprise attack mission to the joint defense plan. Spatial teleportation is our advantage, and it must be used where it matters most. These are our targets for eradication."Everyone looked closely and saw that Qin Tian had circled at least 20 red dots. Assuming an average of 1,000 demons per red dot, they would have to eliminate at least 20,000 demons.Undoubtedly, this was a very difficult task, but if completed, everyone's military merits would increase significantly.Qin Tian scanned the group and found no signs of fear on their faces; instead, they looked confident. Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction.However, he also knew one thing clearly: as long as that demon source existed, the demons would be endless. No matter how many Demon Caves they destroyed,new demons would always fill the void."So, I still have to go there and see~"Qin Tian thought silently.A spatial gate quietly opened on the scaly mountain peak, its silver halo at the edges flickering like breathing. When Qin Tian's figure stepped out from it,not even the mountain wind was stirred in the slightest.He entered a stealth state, his aura restrained to its limit, and looked down at the inferno of rolling flames below.The entire Flame Mountain seemed like an awakened ancient beast, tirelessly spewing tongues of fire for billions of years.The reddish mountain body was scoured by lava into crisscrossing ravines, and scorching lava flowed down the valleys, converging at the foot of the mountain into vast seas of boiling fire. The rising heat distorted the air, making even vision slightly waver.Even more astonishing was the demonic energy permeating it. Thick, inky black mist erupted from cracks in the mountain, intertwining with the lava's heat to form a chaotic gray-purple airflow. It surged and spread along the mountain, corroding even hard obsidian into honeycomb-like holes wherever it passed.And in the very center of the mountain range, a mass of demonic energy, almost solidified, rotated like a vortex, as if an inexhaustible demon well lay hidden beneath the earth, continuously nourishing the evil on this land.Countless demons roamed and occupied the mountains—small lava demons frolicked in the lava, red flame demons patrolled their territory carrying large clubs, and occasionally, massive Sixth-tier flame demons would peek out from the mountain ravines, emitting threatening growls from their throats.A violent aura filled every inch of space, entangled with the heat and demonic energy, forming a suffocating sense of oppression.Further away, the roars of demons fighting each other could be faintly heard, the crisp sounds of claws tearing flesh mixed with the dull thuds of shattering bones, echoing repeatedly through the valleys—that was the most primitive law of survival in this land.Qin Tian's gaze penetrated layers of demonic mist, landing on the central vortex of demonic energy, a hint of clarity flashing in his eyes. That was the demon source, the place where demons were endlessly born.He slowly descended, and as his toes touched the scorching rock ground, his aura abruptly changed. His bones crackled, muscles swelled and expanded, and his originally fitted combat suit was torn by his rapidly growing body. Scarlet scales emerged from beneath his skin, layering over his entire body,glowing with a metallic cold light in the firelight.In just a moment, Qin Tian had transformed into a nearly five-meter-tall flame demon—its head bore curved black horns, ghost fire flickered in its eye sockets, and its ten sharp claws were like knives, leaving deep scorch marks with a casual swipe across the ground.He slightly raised his arm, and a cluster of black flames ignited in his palm, the flames licking the air and emitting a temperature even more scorching than the surrounding lava. Even the low-tier demons wandering nearby instinctively retreated a few steps, seeing him as a high-tier existence among their kind.Blended into the demon horde, Qin Tian deliberately imitated the posture of a flame demon, letting out a low roar, but his gaze subtly swept around, taking in the topography of Flame Mountain and the distribution of demons.The shadow concealing ring, nestled among his scales, allowed him to perfectly mimic the aura of a flame demon. The black flames flickered in his palm, much like his hidden intentions at that moment—with this disguise, he could infiltrate the core area where the demonic energy was densest.Qin Tian looked up towards the center of Flame Mountain, then took large strides and began to walk.
