As Wen Yu's injuries healed, Sun Ruixing and William also applied ointment to their wounds and bandaged them.
The depletion of healing potions forced everyone to resort to primitive methods for treating minor injuries!
The one-eyed guard, who was tasked with standing watch outside, quickly ran to Wen Yu's side, staring intently at the trembling stones in front of him, emitting soft "woo" sounds.
The one-eyed guard sensed danger!
Wen Yu stared seriously at the pile of stones shaking in front of them and shouted to everyone, "Run, get out of here!"
This place was eerie and unpredictable, and for some unknown reason, the enemy had yet to appear.
Since that was the case, Wen Yu saw no reason to wait in this uncertain environment for danger that could come from nowhere!
"Ke ke ke ke, run? Where do you think you can run to?"
An evil, sharp voice echoed from above the umbrella-shaped stones where the group was camping!
Just as the voice faded away, everyone felt the ground tremble, and then a deep gray light curtain enveloped the pile of stones, trapping everyone inside!
Twilight Barrier (s-rank, active ability): Controls the power of darkness to create a gray light curtain that forms an isolated space, prohibiting entry and exit.
As the swirling sand and dust hit the light curtain, it immediately emitted a series of crackling explosion sounds, causing everyone to halt in their tracks.
This thing clearly possessed offensive capabilities, and no one was willing to step forward to experience it firsthand.
"By the way, are you satisfied with the gift I just gave you?"
As the unknown demonic creature spoke, the crowd immediately stirred!
One of the professionals behind them drew a steel knife and swung it fiercely at his teammate.
The sudden attack left everyone unable to react in time!
Blood sprayed out, and the unexpected assault resulted in the immediate death of the struck professional!
"Don't kill him, hold him down!"
The voice came from none other than Princess Consort Fina.
Chu Ziling's flaming fist had just struck in front of the professional when he heard Fina's words; the flames instantly extinguished, and he transformed his fist into a claw, using his superior physical strength to disarm the professional.
At that moment, Fina's explanation followed.
"This is the nightmare demon clan's innate ability, Mental Control (a-rank, active ability). It can only control a creature that is one level lower than itself and can only control one weak-minded unit at a time. If he is killed, the nightmare demon's ability can be activated again."
Wen Yu nodded silently, which explained why only Basong had launched a suicidal attack back then!
"Ke ke ke ke, indeed worthy of being the Silver Moon Clan that has fought against our demonic clan for so many years. What a pity, what a pity..."
After finishing this sentence, the figure of the nightmare demon slowly emerged from above the umbrella-shaped stone pillar.
It was a humanoid creature draped in a black robe, slightly frail, with hands that, visible beneath the robe, were riddled with wrinkles, resembling dead tree bark.
The head outside appeared shrouded in dark mist, unclear, with only two green dots glowing ominously.
Even a level two professional would feel a mental shock when eyeing the nightmare demon's eyes.
"Hey, by the way, why do you always take so long?"
The nightmare demon opened its mouth again, but this time it was not speaking to Wen Yu and the others, but rather...
To the pile of stones below it!
"It’s not that... I... don’t want to be quick... it’s just... I can’t move fast..."
A deep, heavy voice echoed from the stones below the nightmare demon. In the stunned gaze of the crowd, the umbrella-shaped stone pillar suddenly transformed!
The trembling stones around rapidly flew toward the umbrella-shaped stones and firmly adhered to them.
As the stones gathered more and more, the umbrella-shaped stone quickly enlarged, and in a short while, a gigantic figure appeared before everyone!
It was a yellowish stone giant, standing nearly twenty meters tall, looking down at everyone on the ground.
