Chapter 472: Venturing Deep into the Canyon, Shadai Leads the Hunt

Wind and Thunder Continent, where the wind howls and thunder roars together, was the opening line in the old records, and now Jiang Chen feels it deeply.

In Whirlwind Canyon, gale winds howl, and countless hard rocks are lifted by the wind, swirling chaotically in the air.

Even stone blocks weighing thousands to tens of thousands of jin can be blown up into the sky.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the canyon, he was nearly swept away by the vortex.

The Lightning Nether Spirit Wings cannot stay stable in such an environment, so Jiang Chen had to land and walk.

The rocks in the canyon are unusually solid; even a full‑force attack struggles to destroy them.

However, shortly afterward Jiang Chen witnessed two whirlwinds tearing at a rock, eventually ripping it in half.

This scene put Jiang Chen on high alert.

Although the records label Whirlwind Canyon as moderate danger, Jiang Chen feels its peril far exceeds expectations.

The Thunder Pools on both sides are marked as high danger.

At the same time, Burial Thunder Canyon is also marked as high danger.

The standard is based on professionals above Level 70.

Generally, areas that pose no threat to Elite Professionals above Level 80 are considered moderate danger zones.

Areas that can endanger Elite Professionals are high danger zones.

There is no World-Class Boss in Whirlwind Canyon; the sole boss is only Lord-level, plus a modest number of ordinary monsters.

As long as one is careful of the internal whirlwinds, there is little danger.

Compared with the Thunder Pools on either side, it is indeed much safer.

Jiang Chen steadied himself and raced through the canyon, his attention not only on the chaotic whirlwinds but also on his surroundings.

On the ground repeatedly churned by the whirlwinds, there are some holes only fist‑sized

holes.

The monsters in Whirlwind Canyon hide inside those holes.

When passing the edge of a hole, the hidden monsters dart out and attack him.

The canyon's monsters are called Whirlwind Lizards, bearing a lizard's appearance, slender bodies, and snake‑like forms.

Whirlwind Lizards possess strong wind attributes; their bodies are enveloped by whirlwinds, forming natural armor.

Their scale armor is equally sturdy, and together the defense is greatly amplified.

Whirlwind Lizards are extremely tough, but fortunately the attacks aren't exceptionally strong.

For Jiang Chen, dealing with Whirlwind Lizards is not difficult.

No matter how fast the Whirlwind Lizards move, Jiang Chen never gives them a chance to emerge.

The Skeleton Berserker stays ahead of Jiang Chen, blocking each hole as they appear.

The massive axe now becomes a Shield, sealing the hole tightly.

The Whirlwind Lizards inside cannot break out at all.

A Level 52 Skeleton Berserker, under Lich General's empowerment, reaches a strength of 410,000.

Although still weaker than a Level 70 Boss, it is far stronger than a Level 70 ordinary monster.

Even a Level 80 ordinary monster, in raw strength, cannot match the Skeleton Berserker.

Now the hole is firmly blocked; no matter how the Whirlwind Lizards inside charge, they cannot break through.

After Jiang Chen moves away, he withdraws the Skeleton Berserker, and when the Whirlwind Lizards rush out again, they have already lost their target.

In this way, Jiang Chen only needs to dodge the whirlwinds, and the Difficulty drops dramatically.

The moderate‑Difficulty Whirlwind Canyon becomes a clear path before Jiang Chen.

In less than two hours, Jiang Chen traversed the thousand‑kilometer Whirlwind Canyon.

Canyon

The canyon is like a sword, its exit a bit narrow.

Jiang Chen left Whirlwind Canyon, soaring skyward.

The thousand‑kilometer distance still took him two hours.

If he could fly, it would take less than half an hour.

Boom!

The heavens flash brightly as lightning falls like raindrops.

Jiang Chen hovers in the air, looking to both sides.

Not far on either side are the Thunder Pools, a realm of thunder and lightning, with more than just skyward flashes and roars.

The ground below is also a sea of electric light.

The so‑called pools are not water at all, but plasma formed from thunder, dense enough to melt the earth like flowing water.

This intensity of electric light is something Jiang Chen has never seen before.

If the uniquely strange Whirlwind Canyon didn't exist, it would be hard for him to charge across the Thunder Pools.

Let alone the fact that there are two World-Class Bosses inside the Thunder Pools.

Faintly, Jiang Chen sees a team of professionals battling deep within the lightning.

Those who can reach the Thunder Pools are at least Elite Professionals at Level 85.

Some have even reached Level 88, becoming semi‑god level beings.

This ensures safety.

As Jiang Chen watches, the other side seems to notice him as well.

After confirming Jiang Chen is a Human Race professional, they stop paying attention.

Jiang Chen fixes his bearing and flies again toward Burial Thunder Canyon.

【61】 Shadai leads a horde of Demons, rushing toward Jiang Chen's lightning‑fast location.

They were very fast, far faster than Jiang Chen.

Shadai kept sensing Jiang Chen's direction, holding a map in its hand as well.

"Judging by his direction, he should be heading for the Thunder Burial Canyon."

"What's he going there for?"

Shadai was very puzzled.

A demon let out a cold, sinister laugh, "Who cares what he's going for, we'll catch up to him and kill him anyway."

Another

demon said, "Exactly, what he's going to do is none of our business. Demon King Sir is being far too cautious, sending our squad to kill a Level 52 Human Race member."

Shadai didn't speak, a hint of disdain in its heart.

Accompanying it this time was an elite squad under Black Sky Demon King's command.

The elite squad consisted of ten demons in total, each over Level 80, some skilled in close combat, some in ranged attacks, and some in Control.

This kind of team composition was extremely rare among demons, formed only after referencing the professionals of the Human Race and Dragon Race.

After extensive practical combat, it was proven that this teaming method was quite effective, greatly boosting combat power compared to fighting individually.

The squad's Team Leader, Hulie, was a Lord-level Demon as high as Level 83, and also Black Sky Demon King's top enforcer.

Lord-level Demons held a very high status among demons, second only to Demon Kings.

Its attributes could rival those of a Lord-level BOSS of the same level.

Comparable to a Dragon Race member with an atavistic Bloodline, and could also go toe-to-toe with a Human Race ceiling profession.

Especially after a Lord-level Demon becomes a Demon King, it would be an invincible existence among Demon Kings of the same level, far more powerful than the likes of Flame Demon King.

To ensure the successful killing of Jiang Chen this time, Black Sky Demon King had Hulie, who usually didn't move, take action.

Hulie said in a low voice, "Don't underestimate Jiang Chen. Even Flame Demon King was killed by him."

A demon snorted with a laugh, "Team Leader, do you really believe that?"

"Exactly, a Level 52 Human Race member killing a Demon King? The Human Race must be bragging."

"Flame Demon King must have run into other Divine-level Strongmen among the Human Race and been surrounded and killed."

」

The demons chattered noisily.

Shadai remained silent, thinking to itself, "Everyone who underestimated Jiang Chen is dead. Anyway, you guys go ahead and fight and kill; I'll slip away at the first sign of trouble."

Its hand was tightly gripping a Teleport Stone.

This was given by the Enchantress Demon King, of a very high tier, capable of breaking through the Barrier set up by the demons.

It also instructed it to flee at the first sign of trouble, not caring about anyone else's life or death.

Demons are all selfish, and Shadai was no exception.

Hulie said in a low voice, "Shadai, how much farther is Jiang Chen from us?"

When it looked at Shadai, its eyes burned with passion.

It wasn't just it; the other demons were the same.

Only, its gaze was more obvious and aggressive.

Shadai replied, "We should be able to intercept him before he reaches Thunder Burial Canyon. I've looked at the map; there aren't any dangerous areas along the way. As long as we don't run into a large group of Wind Flowers, there won't be a problem."

Hulie nodded, "Good."

Shadai could feel Hulie's gaze, thinking disdainfully, "Look all you want, look all you want. Maybe you won't get the chance to look later."

For some reason, it felt that Hulie was very likely to die at Jiang Chen's hands.

Since it considered him a dead man walking, let him look a few more times.

Besides, I'm a Succubus.

Isn't it normal to be charming!

Thinking this, Shadai's body emitted an even stronger aura of allure.

Hulie's gaze grew even more fervent.

If not for the Demon King's mission, Hulie really wanted to have a deep exchange with Shadai right here.

At this moment, Jiang Chen had already stopped.

A Dragon Team had blocked his path.
