“The breath of the demon lord, and the scent of the sequence...”
Simple phrases in the demon realm language escaped the mouth of this ancient demon entity. Then, a thoughtful expression flashed in the eyes of the ancient demon entity.
Suddenly, two wings burst forth from its back!
The ancient demon entity slightly bent its legs and then pushed off with great force!
A tremendous power erupted from beneath its feet, propelling its body upwards like a rocket. Then, its wings suddenly spread open and swung fiercely!
A massive sonic boom and shockwave rippled out, and in the blink of an eye, the ancient demon entity had vanished from sight!
...
At the same time the ancient demon entity took flight, the entire convoy hadn't traveled far.
After all, the weight of the demonic energy shield device severely slowed down the overall speed of the convoy.
Fortunately, the surrounding demonic creatures had become quite sparse, with hardly a single one seen in half a day.
The easy feeling of completing the mission, along with the rewards from the Huaxia Military upon returning, made everyone feel somewhat invigorated.
The Huaxia Military was indeed quite generous!
At this moment, Wen Yu was holding two spirit pets, bargaining incessantly with Kuang Liu.
“Items and magic crystals need to be increased by thirty percent! This thirty percent is the price related to sequence permissions!”
While driving leisurely, Kuang Liu muttered.
“Wen Yu, big boss! We've been cooperating for so long, can't you ask for a bit less? Discussing magic crystals hurts feelings!”
Wen Yu decisively shook his head, “Don't talk about feelings; that stuff is useless and costs money! Thirty percent is thirty percent! Or trade high-level skills instead!”
“No way, at most twenty percent. You can forget about high-level skills; the military won't trade that kind of thing, at most they'll give you the latest products from the research institute.”
“What good is that stuff to me?”
“Don't say that! The stuff from the research institute is quite impressive. Once the time comes, I'll take you...”
Before Kuang Liu could finish, the military vehicle in the front suddenly erupted with a loud explosion, and the entire vehicle was instantly disintegrated!
As the flames erupted, three figures quickly burst out from inside the vehicle!
The fastest to react was the sequence five Yang Pengguang. He transformed into a streak of sword light, instantly darting out of the explosion range.
Then, a silver glow twisted and flowed like water, sliding towards the position where Wen Yu and Kuang Liu were. It seemed slow, but in reality, its speed was incredibly fast. Before the flames of the explosion had dissipated, this silver stream had already “slid” into Wen Yu and Kuang Liu's vehicle, slowly solidifying into Claire’s form in the back seat.
Then, the third streak of light...
Disappeared into the dust kicked up by the explosion!
Only at this point did a violent sonic boom echo through the air.
...
As the explosion echoed, Wen Yu and Kuang Liu had already kicked open the car door and quickly jumped out, looking directly towards the exploded military vehicle.
In a short span of time, everything had happened; when Wen Yu and Kuang Liu got out of the car, Claire was already seated in the back, while Yang Pengguang had run far away. Even the heavily loaded transport vehicle had barely stopped.
“Big boss, there’s no scent... nothing detected.”
A mental wave pulsed from the star atop Wen Yu's head.
The star’s senses were extremely sharp; if even the star couldn’t detect anything, it proved the attacker’s concealment ability was formidable.
Moreover, judging by the intensity of the attack and the speed of approach, it was clear that the incoming foe was quite troublesome!
In a brief moment, the dust raised by the explosion settled, and the figure of the attacker appeared before everyone.
It was a winged ancient demon!
In its grasp was sequence nine—Suzuki Masao, who was constantly twisting his body but was firmly held by the neck by the ancient demon entity.
