Chapter 185: The Maze of Obstacles and Escape from the Devil's Trap
Lei Yi supported Dongfang Liuli and, using the cover of the fog, quickly moved behind a towering tree. The tree had a thick trunk and twisting branches that blocked out the sun, making it an ideal location for setting up a maze.
He placed Dongfang Liuli at the root of the tree and said, "Liuli, wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Dongfang Liuli nodded slightly and watched Lei Yi disappear in the thick fog with concern.
Lei Yi moved nimbly, weaving between the trees. He flung the magic crystal fragments in his hand repeatedly, and whenever they touched the branches, they instantly merged into them. A strange scene occurred. The ordinary trees seemed to be injected with life, and their branches began to grow wildly, interweaving with each other to form a natural barrier.
The black fog seemed to be pulled by some force, rolling and gathering towards Lei Yi, forming a thick fog wall around him, obscuring his figure.
"Roar!"
A roar was heard in the distance, and the Shadow Demon General led the demon soldiers to catch up. They exuded an evil aura, and their scarlet eyes flashed with greed in the mist.
"Chase them! Don't let them run away! Whoever catches them will get the magic crystal fragments!" The voice of the Shadow Demon General echoed in the fog, with a hint of madness and eagerness.
When the demon soldiers heard the words "demon crystal fragments", they became even more excited. They drew their weapons and rushed into the fog frantically.
"Hahaha, what a bunch of idiots!" Lei Yi hid in the dark, watching the demon soldiers flying around in the fog like headless flies, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
He had already used the distribution of trees and the changes in the terrain to create a maze. The thick fog was just a decoy; what truly trapped these demons was this forest activated by the magic crystal fragments.
"what!"
"Help! I'm lost!"
"Damn it! What the hell is this place?!"
The panicked shouts of the demon soldiers continued to be heard from the fog. They had lost their way and were attacking each other. The originally neat team was in chaos.
The Shadow Demon General was also trapped in the maze. He angrily waved the long sword in his hand, trying to cut through the fog, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not get out of the maze-like forest.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on?!" the Shadow Demon roared in frustration.
Lei Yi ignored the wailing of the demon soldiers and returned to Dongfang Liuli quietly.
"Liuli, let's go." Lei Yi took Dongfang Liuli's hand and prepared to leave this place of trouble.
However, at this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the fog, accompanied by a creepy feeling of oppression... "Liuli, let's go." Lei Yi took Dongfang Liuli's hand and prepared to leave this place of trouble.
"Liuli, be careful!" Lei Yi protected Dongfang Liuli behind him and looked vigilantly in the direction where the voice came from.
Thick fog rolled in, and a massive black shadow slowly emerged. It was a giant wolf, even larger than a calf, its body covered in gray-black scales. Its eyes were like two balls of dark green flame, flashing with a cold, bloodthirsty light. Sharp fangs peeked from its tightly closed mouth, dripping with foul-smelling saliva.
The poisonous wolf is a notorious beast in the Demon Abyss, known for its toxicity and brutality.
"Damn it! It's a poisonous wolf!" Lei Yi thought to himself. In their haste to avoid the demons' pursuit, they had strayed into the poisonous wolf's territory!
The poisonous wolf slowly approached, its greedy eyes swept over Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, and a low growl came from its throat, as if warning the prey in front of it.
"Liuli, follow me closely and don't make a sound." Lei Yi lowered his voice, signaling Dongfang Liuli to hide behind him. He gripped his sword tightly, his whole body tense, ready for the upcoming battle.
The poisonous wolf seemed to be very interested in the long sword in Lei Yi's hand. It stopped, tilted its head and looked at Lei Yi, with a hint of doubt in its eyes.
Lei Yi held his breath, not daring to act rashly. He knew that facing a beast of this caliber, any rash action could result in a fatal attack.
After a brief stalemate, the poisonous wolf seemed to lose its patience. It let out a deafening roar, its foul breath spraying all over Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli.
"Let's go!" Lei Yi took advantage of the moment when the poisonous wolf roared, pulled Dongfang Liuli up, turned around and ran away.
The wolf's roar startled the surrounding trees, and the leaves rustled, as if they were also afraid of the two intruders.
Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli ran wildly in the fog. The roar behind them was getting closer and closer, and the huge footsteps made the ground tremble slightly.
"Roar!" the poisonous wolf roared, its massive body leaping towards Lei Yi and the others like an arrow from a bow... The poisonous wolf's speed was as fast as lightning. Lei Yi only had time to push Dongfang Liuli aside before he was knocked back by the immense force. He fell heavily to the ground, feeling his internal organs shift, and a fishy-sweet taste welled up in his mouth.
"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed, and hurried to Lei Yi's side. She helped him up and asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Lei Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head to indicate that he was fine: "I'm fine, be careful!"
Before he could finish his words, the poisonous wolf pounced again. Its sharp claws slashed a cold light through the air, heading straight for Dongfang Liuli's throat.
Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he endured the severe pain in his body. He rolled on the ground and swung his sword to block the poisonous wolf's attack.
"clang!"
There was a sharp sound of metal collision, and the long sword in Lei Yi's hand was buzzing, and the palm of his hand was numb.
The poisonous wolf missed its first strike, roared, and attacked again. Its massive body was like a mountain, and each attack was filled with overwhelming force, suffocating Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli.
Lei Yi knew that this was not a solution. While resisting the poisonous wolf's attack, he carefully observed its weaknesses.
Suddenly, he discovered that the scales on the poisonous wolf's abdomen seemed to be sparser than other places, revealing a small piece of black skin.
"It's right there!" Lei Yi was delighted and decided to take a risk.
"Liuli, cover me!" Lei Yi shouted, and took advantage of the gap between the poisonous wolf's attacks to rush to its side, and the long sword in his hand pierced the weak point of the poisonous wolf's abdomen.
The poisonous wolf obviously did not expect Lei Yi to attack this place. It let out a painful howl and its huge body staggered back a few steps.
"Success!" Lei Yi was delighted and was about to pursue the wolf, but suddenly he found that the poisonous wolf's eyes had turned blood red, and an even more terrifying aura emanated from it...
"Not good!" Lei Yi muttered to himself, pulling Dongfang Liuli up and turning to run, "Hurry up, it's too late!"
