They look very much like the demons in legends.
But what was strange was that these fast-flying demons all had more or less scars or cuts on their bodies. Some had their necks chopped in half, some had only a hole left at the heart, and some had their bodies mostly charred as if they had been burned by holy light.
They closed their eyes tightly, and countless red worms were wriggling in the tumor between their eyebrows, like a strange eye, staring straight at Lin Qiye and the other two.
"Is it a devil?" Jiang Er's face looked extremely ugly.
There was a gray light flashing in An Qingyu's eyes and his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
He was about to say something when several huge black shadows emerged from the surrounding clouds, with flesh wings buzzing in the air. One of them had a thick red tail that broke through the air and slammed into the somersault cloud with a whistling sound, shattering it.
Having lost their foothold, the three of them immediately fell towards the hell below.
The demon with its flesh-wings flapping in the sky had no intention of letting them go and swooped down on them at an astonishing speed.
"Qingyu!" Lin Qiye shouted in mid-air.
An Qingyu's eyes narrowed, and he clapped his hands hard in front of his chest. A large amount of purple mist rushed out from his sleeves, instantly covering the figures of the three people, and also swept in the many demons swooping down from the sky.
As they crashed into the purple mist, the demons lost sight of the three people. The red insect eye between their brows spun frantically, trying to find the figures of Lin Qiye and others in the endless purple.
In the high-purity spiritual pollution, the three people held their breath and fell freely. Lin Qiye raised his fingertips, and a brilliant magical light bloomed in the fog.
A gigantic fire dragon flapped its wings and flew out from the magic circle. Red flames flowed on the surface of its body, and it was extremely conspicuous under the dim sky.
roar--!
The Flame Vein Earth Dragon that flew out from the purple mist roared, immediately attracting the attention of all the demons. Black lightning flashed out and chased the Flame Vein Earth Dragon into the distance.
At the same time, a void crack opened above the barren land just below the sky melee.
Lin Qiye held [Zhan Bai] in his hand and walked out quickly with An Qingyu. Jiang Er, who was attached to An Qingyu, was also floating in the air. He looked up at the dark demons chasing into the distance, and felt grateful for surviving the disaster.
Everything that just happened happened so fast. From the time the first demon attacked to kill them to the time dozens of demons joined forces to hunt them down, only six or seven seconds had passed.
If An Qingyu had not released purple mist to confuse the vision when they were falling, and Lin Qiye had not summoned Hongyan to lead away the demons, and then secretly took them away into the void, even if they successfully landed back on the ground, would those demons still follow and kill them? In this barren land without any cover, they could only become living targets for many demons and be surrounded and killed.
Jiang Er carefully recalled the scene just now, and looked at Lin Qiye and An Qingyu with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" An Qingyu couldn't help but ask when he saw her strange expression.
"How did you two do it?" Jiang Er couldn't help but ask, "You clearly didn't communicate at all, so how did you know what the other person was thinking in such a short time and cooperate so perfectly?"
Hearing Jiang Er's question, Lin Qiye and An Qingyu looked at each other and laughed helplessly at the same time.
"It's just a tacit understanding. In that situation, this is the only way to escape." Lin Qiye explained briefly and then quickly said, "The demons are too strong. Hongyan can't hold out for long. They will come back soon. Let's leave here quickly."
Judging from the current situation, flying is definitely not an option. There are so many demons hidden in the ash cloud in such a small area. Who knows how many more they will encounter if the three of them fly forward?
The three of them quickly crossed the desolate area and sped along the direction that Lin Qiye had originally pointed out, relying on their own speed.
"Didn't they say that almost all the demons in Hell were killed? Why are there still so many?"
Jiang Er stretched out her hands, wearing a white dress, floating like a ghost above Lin Qiye and An Qingyu, and asked in confusion.
"It's really strange." Lin Qiye thought as he ran. "According to what Senior Seraphim said, almost all the demons above the God Realm have been killed, but some weaker demons still survived... But from what happened just now, this is not as simple as survival. So many demons are hiding in the cumulus clouds. How did they survive back then?"
An Qingyu was silent for a moment, "Maybe they didn't survive."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye's brows raised slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
"I just tried to analyze their bodies, and I didn't find any life waves in them." An Qingyu said slowly, "Their hearts are not beating, and their blood is not flowing. Judging from all the vital signs, they don't look alive."
"You mean, they're corpses?"
"That should be it."
"Then how did they attack us?" Jiang Er's eyes were full of confusion. "The way they attacked frantically just now didn't look like corpses at all."
After the words fell, without waiting for Lin Qiye and the others to reply, Jiang Er seemed to have thought of something, looked down at his body floating in the air, and smiled helplessly: "It seems that I am not qualified to say them... I almost forgot that I am also a corpse."
"You are different from them." An Qingyu shook his head and smiled.
"Maybe it has something to do with the eye between their eyebrows." Lin Qiye recalled for a moment, "Do you remember that the eyes of those demons were closed, but the eye made of insects between their eyebrows was open."
"Those eyes controlled their bodies... It's possible."
An Qingyu nodded in agreement.
As they were talking, the three of them had already completely moved away from the barren land and arrived at the foot of several towering peaks. Several narrow mountain crevices that were only wide enough for one or two people to walk side by side appeared before their eyes.
Lin Qiye looked back and saw countless black shadows flapping their flesh wings, circling under the clouds in the distance, as if they were looking for their traces.
"Is it this direction?" An Qingyu asked, standing in front of the gap.
"Yes." Lin Qiye turned his head, "Every road here extends in the same direction, so it doesn't matter which one you take."
"There aren't those demons in there, right?"
"There are none within the range I can sense." Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and added, "But there seem to be quite a few wronged souls who have fallen into hell wandering around in the valley."
