Chapter 1200: Wolf ahead, tiger behind

It was already 11pm at night and Zhan Long’s 1400+ players passed the mountain range. We tried to avoid the Hybrid Demon army that intercepted us. Moreover, above our heads were many Sword Spirit Cavalries. Initially, Lin Wan Er and I rode our dragons up to kill a few of them but there were just too many. For the safety of the entire team, we could only protect them in low flight and we stopped trying to find trouble with the Sword Spirit Cavalry.

The Hybrid Demon Army was just much smarter now. Sword Spirit Cavalries were troops used to attack but now they were being used as scouts to spread news. Our position was a piece of news that the Hybrid Demon Army had and they sent troops to chase. Initially, they sent Barbarian Wolf Cavalryman, Lamp Zombie and Demon Hall Cavalry and now they were sending Flame Swallowing Beasts, Spirit Umbrella Bugs etc.

…

“Tick tick…”

Horse hoof sounds reverberated through the plains, this was our path to head back.

I sat on Mei’er’s back and turned around. There were dense sounds 2 kilometers from us and I could also see balls of flames rolling in the mountains. Those were flame windmills formed by the Flame Swallowing Beasts. Those Hybrid Demons were so problematic and we couldn’t just turn around to attack them. Once they stuck to us, we might just die here.

Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Yan Zhao Warrior, Bai Li Ruo feng etc had all died on Shura Mountain. Even those with flying mounts weren’t able to get out. Qin Ge and Yin Huo had succeeded in their mission. If I was right, they might be on the way to kill me. After all, they did want to kill Tian Ling City’s The Executor.

Li Mu lowered the red dragon’s altitude to around 3 meters and he was very tired, “Damn, what is going on…”

Old K looked at him and smiled, “We just failed our mission, what else. The players had too much confidence and then the Hybrid Demon Bosses conned us. That was what happened.”

Li Mu shook his head, “Xiao Yao, where to now?”

I looked at the map and said, “It is impossible for us to head back on the original path as the bridge is gone. We have to choose a new path.”

Xue Rou asked, “Which path?”

I laughed, “We have no choice, there is only one way back which is Territory of the Wild Dragon Tribe. That should be in Demon Mountain’s hands so we could only wrap around that place. Demon Mountain also attacked the Hybrid Demon Territory but I heard that they retreated long ago. He is smarter than us.”

“We went too far in.” Lin Wan Er said.

“Right, why didn’t we see Jian Feng Han and Vanguard this time?” I asked.

Xue Rou giggled, “Jian Feng Han is different and chose another target. He brought the 100 thousand Vanguard players to Storm Abyss to find The Judge and The Devourer. But it was quite sad, he was wiped out 2 hours ago. I heard that the Devourer had a skill to swallow players and eat players he swallowed would increase his defence. In the end, his defence was shockingly high that even Jian Feng Han couldn’t break through. 100 thousand people went and only 500 of them managed to flee. However, I don’t think they would be able to survive for long.”

I sucked in a deep breath and sighed, “Azure really is showing off now.

He increased the strength of all of the Hybrid Demon Lords so it is normal that we lost.”

“En.”

Lin Wan Er said, “We have 1000+ left so who knows if Demon Mountain will let us go. In the past, our strength meant that Demon Mountain had nothing to say but this time…”

Dong Cheng Yue sat beside Wan Er and smiled, “Simple, as long as Brother Xiao Yao nods, Death God’s Elegy’s 70 thousand Zhan Long players can head from Dragon City to Territory of the Wild Dragon Tribe. With 70 thousand, I don’t believe that Demon Mountain won’t allow us to pass!”

Old K smiled, “Right, that idea is better!”

Li Mu looked at me, “Xiao Yao, will that work?”

I thought about it but shook my head, “Forget it, look behind us. There are so many Hybrid Demons chasing us. Maybe there might be Hybrid Demon Lords chasing us. We can’t drag our 70 thousand brothers down right?”

Wang Jian nodded, “I support Brother Xiao Yao’s choice. We really can’t drag everyone down. We have failed and that can’t be changed. Our morale is not good too. If we let the 70 thousand brothers face the Hybrid Demons like that, we might end up much worse. At the very least we need the NPC army to help us before we can challenge the Hybrid Demons.”

I smiled, “Wang Jian is right. Let’s continue forwards. Speed up, we can’t be so slow.”

“En!”

…

I looked at my bag and the City Return Scroll was still dim. The entire Hybrid Demon Territory was locked up and our City Return Scroll’s power was taken away by the Hybrid Demon Lords.

We continued rushing into the early morning and we were finally on the outskirts of the Territory of the Wild Dragon Tribe. But it was different from before. Nine Heavens City was built really quickly and had set up a long city wall that stretched for hundreds of miles. Where Dragon God Hall was at had a huge city which connected with the walls to form a real fortress.

The walls were also covered in white iron and there were many Dragon Crystal Cannon barrels sticking out from the holes. The defence of the city shouldn’t be a problem. Although it couldn’t compare to primary cities but they were on the level of Jiu Li City and Green Rock City. Flags hung on the walls and there were many Nine Heavens City troops there.

I rode Mei’er over. Before I got close, someone shouted, “Who is it, who dares to provoke my stronghold?”

That was a major from Nine Heavens City’s Summer Fire Army. He said loudly, “Don’t fly closer if not don’t blame me! Archers aim!”

Thousands of archers suddenly appeared and aimed their bows at me. This didn’t feel good.

I pulled Mei’er and returned my sword to my sheath, “I came from the Hybrid Demon Territory and we have failed in our trip. We want to pass through your pass please let us go.”

That Major frowned, “Scoff, you have obviously attracted the Hybrid Demon army and want to hurt our stronghold!”

He was right.

But the 1400+ Zhan Long players were already waiting. If they didn’t open the gate we might really get killed by the Hybrid Demon Army. I was a little impatient and said, “Where is Demon Mountain, tell him to come out!”

That Major raged, “Who are you to call our General’s name like that?”

On the side, an advisor tapped his arm and said, “General, he is Li Xiao Yao, Tian Ling Empire’s The Executor. He is in charge of the millions of Tian Ling Empire!”

“Ah?”

The Major was stunned and didn’t know what to do.

Fortunately, the players in the city got the news and very quickly Demon Mountain brought a bunch of people up on the walls. We hadn’t met in a few days and his level increased by quite a lot. He seemed much more energetic and smiled at me, “So it is Guild Leader Xiao Yao, long time no see. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

I smiled, “Let’s be honest. Our China Region failed to take down Shura World and was nearly wiped out. We are pretty much the survivors. Behind us are Hybrid Demon troops chasing us and there might be Lord Tier Bosses. We want to use your pass to get back to Tian Ling City.”

“Why not use the City Return Scroll?” He asked in shock.

I smiled, “Locked map, you obviously know. Look at your own City Return Scroll.”

Demon Mountain glanced and laughed, “As expected.”

A team leader beside Demon Mountain pointed towards the west, “Guild Leader look, the Hybrid Demon Army is here. There are more of them than we faced in the past! We can’t open the gate or they will charge in. We spent so much effort to build this city so we can’t let it get buried because of the Chinese. On the contrary, they led all of them here so obviously they want to hurt us!”

I pulled out Butterfly and said, “The person who says that is the one that wants to hurt you. Demon Mountain this person is your team leader, if you don’t do anything, I can help you!”

Demon Mountain was shocked, “Xiao Yao calm down, we can discuss!”

Behind us, the Hybrid Demon ARmy got closer and closer and they would be here within 5 minutes. I frowned, “We have no more time to discuss, please open up or we will force our way in!”

Demon Mountain gritted his teeth, “What do you mean, you want to attack? You really don’t respect our Nine Heavens City right? !”

…

“Keng!”

I pulled out Gan Jiang and said, “If Nine Heavens City doesn’t let us through then let’s kill our way through! We let them past at the islands and now they treat us like this. We have nothing to say, prepare to fight!”

The Zhan Long core players pulled out their weapons. Lin Wan Er, Li Mu, Wang Jian rode their dragons and the situation was really intense.

At that moment, a female voice spread from behind, “Why, someone is attacking our fortress? I want to see who is so bold.”

Fire God Gaia, now this was a little problematic!
