The distant flash of energy fluctuations and Victor's sudden disappearance naturally caught Wen Yu's attention on the city wall.
Looking at the nearly thousand-meter-wide open space that suddenly appeared before him, Wen Yu's expression remained unchanged, neither happy nor sad.
The bone demon hiding in the shadows was secretly launching fireballs, employing a very sneaky method, with a clear objective— to attract Victor.
As Wen Yu's fifth spirit pet, Victor's overall capabilities were arguably the strongest. Especially in terms of search, assassination, and decapitation, Victor possessed powerful stealth capabilities and existed in the Netherworld. This made him extremely suitable for capturing a demonic creature amidst the vast demonic tide.
Before the battle even began, Wen Yu already had a rough guess of the demonic clan's arrangement. It was merely a matter of gradually eliminating his subordinates. Fortunately, Wen Yu played along with the plan, allowing Victor to take all of his spirit pets and deliberately fall into a trap, engaging those demonic creatures in direct combat within the demonic clan's trap!
Indeed, there were risks involved, but based on intelligence regarding the demonic clan's high-end combat power, this level of risk was entirely bearable— even if all the high-end combatants of the demonic clan came out, Wen Yu believed his four spirit pets, which he had nurtured, could still compete well against them.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Eye System of the earth community had already detected the direction of two demonic creatures.
The walking ancient tree was located thousands of kilometers away from the New Hope Gathering Place, seemingly sleeping quietly like a dead thing.
Meanwhile, another ancient demon, codenamed Black Light, was currently at the demonic clan's frontline command center.
...
Watching the third generation seed of blaze disappear alongside Victor, Zero's expression remained as calm as still water, lacking both the joy of Victor falling into the trap and the worry that Wen Yu might see through the tactic.
"Did it... succeed?"
The frontline commander of the demonic clan cautiously asked from behind, but was met with a cold snort from Zero.
Zero disdainfully responded to the commander's question.
After a moment of silence, seeing that Wen Yu on the city wall showed no other actions, and the black light barrier above the New Hope Gathering Place remained as hard and stubborn as a turtle shell, Zero waved his hand, calling over the frontline commander.
"Bring the main forces forward!"
"Understood, my lord."
The commander accepted the order and left, while Zero took out a communication device from his Spatial Ring.
"Shilawars, how's the task on your side going?"
...
Shilawars...
Upon hearing the familiar name coming from the communicator, the third generation seed of plague took a while to snap back to reality.
Shilawars, that was the name he once had.
After a moment of silence, the third generation seed of plague finally replied, "The virus has been implanted, and the plague has started to spread, it can be activated at any time."
The voice of the third generation seed of plague sounded somewhat muffled, the low volume even carrying echoes, mixed with the sound of liquid dripping.
"Good, then."
Zero on the other end of the communicator responded, "The fish has taken the bait, reeling in four big ones in one breath. Deers over there probably can't handle it; they won't last long. Now execute Plan B!"
"Understood!"
The third generation seed of plague hung up the communication, and its mud-like body slowly began to condense, forming a large puddle. Then, two dark small dots lit up from the top of the puddle, resembling two eyes.
The third generation seed of plague looked around; at this moment, this puddle of mud was situated in a dark underground cavern, surrounded by underground rivers that formed a complex network of dark waterways, with nearly half of its body submerged in the flowing river.
The clear underground water flowed past the third generation seed of plague’s body, continuing onward. However, strands of greenish substances dripped down from the third generation seed of plague, merging into the river.
