"I... I think I smell blood." Soren Shi's face was a little pale. Although her cultivation level was not high enough to see the dead city in the distance, as a demon, her sense of smell was naturally very keen.
"There's a dead city ahead. It looks like it went through a fierce battle; the blood hasn't dried yet," Zuan explained in a deep voice.
Sorenshi's voice trembled slightly: "Could it be the Little Demon Queen's troops..."
Zuan did not respond, but instead sped up and flew forward.
Before long, they arrived outside the city.
Most of the city was buried in the snow and wind, with only some broken walls and ruins exposed.
It looks like a city that was abandoned a long time ago when the demon race's defenses were contracted.
However, this place has obviously been the site of a major battle recently, with bloodstains everywhere on the city walls and even a lot of snow stained dark red.
The air was filled with a strange stench and the smell of blood.
Upon witnessing this scene, even the seasoned Sorenshi couldn't help but bend over and gag.
Zuan walked inside, and Soren Shi hurriedly followed.
The two searched around and found bloodstains and some scattered weapons and shields, but they couldn't find a single person.
"Why can't we even find a single corpse?" Sorenshi's voice trembled slightly. Everything before him was too bizarre. Not only were there no corpses of the demon army, but there were also no corpses of demons. Let alone corpses, there wasn't even any remains like severed hands or feet.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Those demons will eat corpses, even the corpses of their own kind."
Sorenshi recalled that some of his companions had also been devoured by demons, and he could no longer hold back and began to vomit in the corner.
Zaun's mood was also heavy. There was not a single corpse or remains, which meant that the demons had won the battle. Otherwise, things would never have turned out this way.
Looking at the blood-red expanse before his eyes, Zaun could imagine how brutal that battle must have been.
The hellish scene around him filled him with inexplicable anger.
Just then, a series of panting breaths and heavy footsteps came from the air, and more than a dozen monsters that looked like Komodo dragons surrounded them, as if they had been attracted by the sound of Sorenshi vomiting.
The monsters' skin was almost entirely cracked, as if covered with a layer of rotten flesh, with disgusting slime hanging from it.
"Crawlers!" Soren Shihua's face paled. She had witnessed the power of these creatures on the battlefield before. Although they were ugly in appearance, they were incredibly fast and strong, capable of easily tearing apart soldiers' armor.
The key issue is that the slime on its body is poisonous; if you accidentally get it on your skin, your whole body will quickly corrode into a lump of rotten flesh.
Many demon soldiers perished at the hands of these monsters.
At this moment, the crawlers also noticed her. As if they had seen a delicious meal, they became excited and their originally clumsy crawling posture became swift and fast. They rushed towards Sorenshi at a speed that was completely beyond imagination.
Just as Sorenshi was about to retaliate, a sword aura shot from the side. In the blink of an eye, sword shadows filled the air, and the next moment, more than a dozen crawlers had their heads separated from their bodies, dead beyond any doubt.
Soren Shi gritted his teeth, took out a heavy hammer from his storage bag, and smashed it hard on the heads of the crawlers, turning all the heads on the ground into a bloody mess.
"What's wrong?" Noticing that something was off with her, Zu'an came over and asked.
“Even if these crawlers are beheaded, their tongues can still shoot out and hurt people, and they can also spit poison. Many of us suffered greatly because we didn’t know this.” Soren Shi gritted his teeth, and only then did a little satisfaction appear on his face.
Zuan knew that she had witnessed the complete annihilation of her subordinates and had accumulated too much pressure in her heart, so it would be good for her to vent.
Just then, he suddenly looked in a certain direction: "Who is it!"
With a casual gesture, a terrifying suction force slammed a figure through a wall and pulled it towards them.
Sorenshi initially thought it was another demon and rushed over wielding his heavy hammer. However, he was taken aback when he saw the other party clearly, because this guy did not look like a demon at all, but was dressed as a demon soldier.
"Who are you?"
"I am a survivor of the battlefield, I am not a demon, please don't kill me." The man hurriedly waved his hands to explain. The strength of the man opposite him was too terrifying. He didn't see how the man made a move, but more than a dozen crawlers were decapitated. Moreover, he was so far away, but he was sucked in by the man in an instant.
"Are you one of Little Golden Roc King's subordinates?" Soren Shi felt that the other party looked familiar. She was of noble status and had always been acquainted with Little Golden Roc King, so she naturally recognized the people around him.
"Yes, Your Highness, I am Wang Gu, the scout captain under the Little Golden Roc King. I met Your Highness a few days ago." The man was overjoyed and hurriedly explained.
Zuan asked, "How did you end up here? Are you a survivor?"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the other person's body. It was relatively clean, with no signs of battle.
Wang Gu said with a worried look, "When the Little Golden Roc King heard that the Little Demon Queen's army was ambushed by demons, he specially sent me here to check the situation and see if there were any survivors. There are dozens of brothers like me, each of whom went in a different direction. Now it seems that I am probably the only one who found the right place."
At this moment, Sorenshi came to his side: "Brother Zu, he is indeed a subordinate of the Little Golden Roc King."
Zuan secretly checked the other party and found that he was not possessed by demons, so he released him.
"Is this the Little Demon Queen's Central Army?"
The scout captain named Wang Gu replied, "Yes, but according to our intelligence, the Little Demon Queen led the remaining troops to break through and escape; the entire army was not wiped out."
