Chapter 2423 - 1411:
Clearly, their human flight speed is faster than the Demonic Beast’s running speed.
They clearly look at the sheep in front of them; they can capture the sheep with Magic Artifacts or hurt them.
During the pursuit, they can attack the sheep from behind; be it with weapons or mana, they can injure or kill the sheep.
This time, they are battling the sheep not just for food, but to vent their frustration over their previous battle failure.
Unexpectedly, this batch of Feng Family, facing that herd of hundreds of sheep, are both old and young.
The adorable lambs were protected by their mothers, and they almost caught up shortly after the pursuit began.
Originally, they didn’t want to harm the lambs or mother sheep; they wanted to catch the adult sheep for food.
They also wanted to confine this batch of sheep, perhaps as food for when they stay here, or they might take a batch of sheep out.
Let the Feng Family taste the meat from the Demonic Beasts inside the Hell Palace.
The pit dug by the sheep initially provided resistance, making them aware of the sheep’s ability to cause hindrance, a resistance designed to prevent them from catching up, merely stopping them from harming the flock.
Though not a deadly predicament, gradually, they discovered that this resistance would transform into a predicament resembling a formation.
Preventing them from harming the sheep and stopping their pursuit.
...
The Feng Family no longer merely aimed to pursue and capture sheep; at this moment, they only wanted to break through this predicament and escape it. Now they realized they were trapped by the sheep’s strategy.
To break this predicament, they need to unite with their clan to gain a stronger capability to confront the Demonic Beasts and the impending danger in the night.
During their attempt to breach the predicament, they discovered that after the sheep trapped them, they encountered demons.
These demons attacking the sheep, seeking to harm them.
However, the demons’ primary intent is to target the humans inside.
Because they believe that humans can be used for body seizing.
The predicament designed by sheep inadvertently temporarily protected the humans’ safety.
The sheep faced the demons calmly, using similar skills to ensure their safety, shielding themselves from demonic harm.
There were only three demons trying to deal with a herd of sheep and a group of humans.
For the time being, they have not succeeded.
As long as the sheep don’t become isolated, they can survive in the Hell Palace. Their skills might not kill the demons, but can protect themselves.
The Feng Family regretted dividing their forces to pursue three different Demonic Beasts.
The Demonic Beasts separated the humans, weakening their combat ability.
Initially, a group of humans facing a single Demonic Beast had a chance of victory.
But when separated, they lost that advantage.
They also had to face demons.
This batch of Feng Family members, temporarily unable to free themselves from the sheep’s devised predicament, found it ironically protecting them instead.
Inside the predicament, they watched as the sheep fended off the demons. A group of sheep facing several demons initially had no chance of winning, particularly when the demons attempted to attack humans.
Sheep encountering demons were like meeting a big grey wolf.
Only thinking about fleeing, escaping the tracking by demons.
Like before when evading humans, in their escape, the sheep continuously set predicaments.
The predicament designed by sheep temporarily resisted the demonic aura, allowing the sheep to breathe, gradually distancing themselves from the black energy of the demons.
The black aura used by the demons couldn’t easily infect the sheep’s vitality, initially able to attempt to devour them from close range.
The intent was to completely devour the sheep herd’s life essence to increase their life value and magic power.
Moreover, during this attack, the demons intended to exploit the battle between sheep and humans to devour and seize both, soul-snatching.
After all, only three demons arise, with two males and one female, intending to use gender to snatch souls and take human bodies.
Just a thought, possessing a human body was their purpose for coming out this time.
They could not only snatch the sheep’s vitality but also seize human bodies.
Additionally, they could absorb the vitality from other humans to greatly enhance their magic power.
Having arrived at the Hell Palace, their lives grew increasingly difficult, being controlled by the Artifact Spirit of the Hell Palace within this predicament.
Certainly less desirable than outside, they acknowledged being caught by a more powerful human who brought them into this Magic Artifact.
To survive here, they must struggle fiercely with the ghosts present and compete in wits and bravery against these Demonic Beasts.
They have been here for a long time, about a year’s duration, barely benefiting from the isolated excellent vitality.
Seeking human beings to seize bodies isn’t as easy as in the outside world.
Humans outside are relatively weak, easier to seize their vitality but not their bodies due to being too fragile, unsuitable for cultivators.
Today they suddenly found a group of human cultivators in this Magical Treasure, their bodies seem enticingly exquisite.
Highly suitable for these demons seeking bodies.
Upon discovering so many human cultivators arriving at the Hell Palace, these demons finally had opportunities to select suitable bodies.
Fighting for a body, these demons separated for suitable bodies.
Naturally, they considered looking for bodies from slightly weaker groups.
Unwilling to settle, they yearned for strength and sought the strongest human bodies instead.
With this thought, greed drove them to want the most powerful human bodies, leading them to split.
Some demons, aware of their weaker abilities, opted for weaker groups to find fitting bodies.
Those human cultivators each possess magical power, their bodies not easily possessed.
Thus, these demons thought of reaping benefits from the conflict, expecting to gain when humans fought Demonic Beasts during fierce battles.
Typically, gathering together, these Demonic Beasts seldom benefited, neither could they glean benefits from a group of Demonic Beasts.
Wishing to seize the Demonic Beast’s vitality usually occurred when they were isolated.
Yet, they never anticipated these sheep unveiling their unique skills!
They trapped humans; though this prevented humans from fleeing temporarily, it safeguarded them from being seized by these demons.
Wanting to deal with the sheep first and then tackle humans.
Unexpectedly, these sheep deployed their skills, temporarily preventing the demons from seizing the sheep’s life essence.
Fighting with the sheep, demons gained nothing—they were temporarily blocked.
Watching the sheep scamper away despairingly.
As they were gradually trapped within the predicament devised by the sheep.
The Demonic Beast sheep escaped, leaving demons and humans trapped within the sheep’s predicament.
They were trapped separately, each seeking to break free.
The demon heads, in the predicament, went mad, using black aura to erode the predicament, slowly dissipating it.
The humans’ cultivators were also ceaselessly striving to break free, solely wanting to escape here swiftly.
They aimed to depart before the demons escaped the predicament.
They contemplated potential battles with demons once they escaped the predicament.
Preparing for battle if need be.
If the demons hadn’t escaped the predicament, they planned to leave first. Their main goal wasn’t these demons.
They also considered exterminating demons upon encounter.
However, upon arrival, they realized it’s within a Magic Artifact; they could regroup with their team before opting to combat the demons.
Having suffered among the sheep, they lacked confidence to defeat the demons.
For the Feng Family cultivators, I don’t see them as weak; they simply want alternative methods to combat demons.
Finally, at dusk, they breached the predicament, noting demons still hadn’t escaped, possibly because the human cultivators formed groups to escape the predicament quickly and leave here.
Daring not linger here, nor stay within the dark, as demons remain, with unknown risks still at hand.
