Chapter 84

"Senior Sister Su, I remember that the military region at the supply base has a mage tower that can monitor the situation inside the Gale Mountain Range.

Why do we still need to go back to the base to report the situation?"

Zhou Yi asked with some confusion.

In the military region, that mage tower exuding huge magic energy fluctuations left a great impression on him.

Theoretically, it shouldn't be that they don't know about the appearance of other-world creatures in the outer area.

Going back to report the situation by manpower like this is not only dangerous but also a waste of time.

"The mage tower of the military region mainly monitors the movements of those epic and legendary high-level magic beasts in the depths of the Gale Mountain Range."

"The outer area of the Gale Mountain Range, which has at most Gold-tier level 30 magic beasts, is actually monitored with very little intensity."

Su Qinglian, who had recovered from her depressed mood, explained.

After a pause, she said hesitantly:

"Moreover, the other-world creatures that appeared this time are very strange, their levels are too low."

"Levels are too low?"

Zhou Yi didn't quite understand.

Level 22 Silver-tier demons, no matter how you look at it, can't be counted as low-level monsters.

"You just entered Suhang University and haven't started classes yet, so you don't understand."

"Our school has a course specifically explaining other-world creatures that come through other-world cracks."

"According to the mentor's description, generally speaking, other-world creatures that come through are at least level 35 or above."

"And this time, the 8 Flame Demon Warriors we encountered are only level 23 at the highest."

"The higher the level of other-world creatures, the higher the other-world aura they emit."

"Conversely, the lower the level, the lower the other-world aura they carry."

"The other-world aura is too low, which is also one of the reasons why the mage tower in the military region didn't detect the abnormal situation here."

With this explanation from Su Qinglian, Zhou Yi finally understood.

After the Eternal Game and the Blue Star world merged.

Other-world cracks would suddenly appear in many places in the Blue Star world.

And more than 98% of the other-world cracks are very small, not enough for other-world creatures to come through.

Although there will be no other-world creatures coming through these cracks to Blue Star.

But the areas where cracks appear will also emit other-world aura.

And the entire Gale Mountain Range, as a map that appeared after the game and the Blue Star world merged.

Naturally, there are many other-world cracks inside.

It should be precisely because of this that the military region set an other-world aura concentration threshold.

And now.

Because the level of the demons is too low, the other-world aura they emit was judged by the military region as the aura naturally emitted by the other-world cracks inside the mountain range.

Therefore, the military region did not discover the abnormality here.

"Why did the other world send level 20-something demons over? Isn't this superfluous?"

Su Qinglian frowned slightly, a bit puzzled.

Level 23 Silver-tier demons might be very terrifying for ordinary professionals.

Ordinary professional teams with all members at level 23 have no way to deal with them.

But in the killing battlefield between the other world and Blue Star, they are very inconspicuous.

Not even cannon fodder.

And the other-world crack that can accommodate level 23 demons can also allow level 50+ high-level demons to pass through.

So.

Generally, as long as it is an other-world invasion, it will be a whole, or even several legions invading at the same time!!

Such other-world legions have all members at least level 40 or above!!

And this time, although the 20-something-level demons look fierce, as long as they are discovered by the powerhouses at the base.

Just arrange a legion of level 30+ to come over, and they can all be wiped out.

This move by the Otherworld.

It was equivalent to throwing away lives for nothing, and it also exposed an Otherworld rift capable of allowing an Otherworld legion to pass through.

It was simply a massive loss...

"Forget it, such things are not for us professionals to consider. We just need to send the news back."

Su Qinglian shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Six minutes later, Zhou Yi and the Azure Kite squad finished their rest and began to withdraw.

Within the Gale Mountains, trees were dense, the terrain was uneven, and there were many weeds and shrubs.

If one were to run on foot, the speed would be infuriatingly slow.

Even if they walked for three days and three nights, they wouldn't be able to get out of the Gale Mountains.

However, if one had a mount, it would be completely different.

The speed would be extremely fast.

When Zhou Yi had previously come to the Dark Miasma Valley from the other side, with the help of a Gale Wolf, it had taken him no more than an hour.

Therefore, when withdrawing, Zhou Yi also thought that it should only take an hour to leave this dangerous area.

But reality is always unexpected.

The group walked for nearly half an hour.

Yet they hadn't even covered a quarter of the distance.

And what hindered their progress was exactly what they encountered on the road: wave after wave of Flame Demon squads...

"Spear of Victory!"

In the slightly dim jungle, a dazzling golden light spear shot rapidly toward a tall demon.

Bang!!

The light spear hit the chest squarely, and this Level 22 Silver-tier Flame Demon warrior perished at Zhou Yi's hands.

With a bang, it turned into flames and burned out rapidly, leaving only a pile of black dregs on the ground.

At the same time, the Azure Kite squad led by Su Qinglian also dealt with the remaining Flame Demon warriors.

"Along this journey, we have already encountered four waves of demon squad attacks."

Zhou Yi, holding the Profound Light War Hammer, frowned slightly.

These incoming Flame Demon squads had only three or four members at the smallest.

The larger ones had about five or six.

Although their levels were not high, only around Level 21 or 22.

But killing them took quite a bit of effort.

After all, these were not low-intelligence magical beasts.

They were from the Otherworld, one of the five major races of the Otherworld that also possessed extremely high intelligence: the Demon race!

It was precisely because of this that their group's progress was severely slowed down.

"Zhou Yi, it's fortunate we met you this time.

Otherwise, even if we had luckily escaped the pursuit of those four demons, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to get here."

Beside them, Su Qinglian, who had killed a Flame Demon, walked over, her exquisite, pretty oval face carrying a look of relief.

The gaze she directed at Zhou Yi also carried a hint of fervor and appreciation.

She had originally thought that as a former top scholar, even if she wasn't as strong as Zhou Yi,

her strength should be about the same.

But in the few battles just now, the strength Zhou Yi displayed could be called terrifying!!

If it weren't for him, relying on themselves alone, it would have been impossible to get here.

"That's right, too formidable!"

"Tsk tsk, being with you, it feels like the roles are reversed; we are the juniors, and you are the senior."

"......"

The remaining Zhang Yi and the others also exclaimed simultaneously.

Along this journey, the combat style Zhou Yi displayed was extremely seasoned.

He didn't look at all like a freshman who had just entered university.

Instead, he looked like a junior or senior!

And they themselves had become the juniors who needed protection.

"Compared to this, I seem even smaller."

On the back of the White Tiger, the petite loli Wen Tianrun pouted and said quite cutely.

Under the healing of Slow Healing, except for her right arm, her condition could be considered recovered.

As for the missing right arm, as long as they could return to the city,

they could find any Level 40 Priest or purchase a potent recovery potion to regenerate it.

So, her mood now also looked quite good.

"Seniors, you're joking. It's just that my Holy Light happens to have a restraining relationship with demons, so the damage appears higher."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly.

After a pause, he looked at Su Qinglian and said:

"Senior, judging by the situation encountered along the way, I'm afraid the Otherworld demons want to completely clear out the humans in this nearby area."

"If we want to leave this place directly, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

"And the most troublesome thing is that on the only path to leave this northeastern area, there is also an extremely open plain zone......"

Zhou Yi's tone was somewhat heavy.

The terrain within the Gale Mountains, besides jungles and mountains, also included areas like plains and rivers.

And the path they wanted to take to leave and go to the supply base happened to have a very open plain area.

This area had a wide field of vision and almost no obstacles.

Judging by the situation just now, if the demons really appeared from this area, they would definitely not let any human leave.

And that plain zone was easily occupied by the demon legion.

Su Qinglian's delicate brows were tightly furrowed; clearly, she had also thought of this.

She sighed and said helplessly:

"There's no other way. Things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time."

"Let's head toward that side first. If there are really demon teams stationed there, we'll think of another way."

"Then that's all we can do."

Zhou Yi nodded, and the group quickly gathered their equipment and set off again.

In the time that followed, although they encountered a few more Flame Demon squads,

thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, they quickly killed these demons.

However, even so, by the time they were about to leave the jungle area, it was already two hours later.

At the edge of the jungle area, Zhou Yi and the Azure Kite squad gathered here, stopped, and hid behind tree trunks.

Then, through the gaps between the tall jungle trees, they looked at the plain outside.

It was now about three in the afternoon, and the sunlight was just right.

It could be clearly seen that on the vast plain, there were pairs of Flame Demon squads with horns on their heads and dangerous auras patrolling back and forth.

A rough look showed at least a hundred of them.

"This is troublesome. The Demon race really has arranged a garrison legion on the plain to prevent anyone from escaping."

Su Qinglian withdrew her gaze and smiled bitterly.

These were not magical beasts, but genuine Otherworld demons with extremely high intelligence.

The greater the number, the stronger the strength they formed!

And a hundred demons.

Even if they were all just Level 20 Silver-tier, they were already far beyond the range they could handle.
