Not far from the central square of the palace.
The first duke identified as a high-level undead by Bai Jiu and Ling Ling stood there with his hands behind his back and a smug expression.
He must have been very aware of the traps in the square, so he didn't come closer. He just stood there like a proud rooster, with his head held high, looking at Thor and his group with disdain and complacency.
However, when the Duke, who was staring at Thor and the others, finally noticed those familiar monsters, his expression changed instantly.
How could this happen!!!
"How did you beasts get out?!"
He also participated in the capture of these monsters, so he recognized them.
"The menagerie's magic formation and guards are so powerful, how could they get out?!" The Duke muttered to himself in frustration.
He subconsciously wanted to walk over, but seeing those monsters baring their teeth at him yet not daring to stop casting magic, he stopped and said sternly and gloomily:
"I see. It's those people who were sent in later, right?! They were so capable as to rescue you beasts. That's fine. As long as you're still holding grudges, dying here is no different from dying in the zoo."
The Duke seemed to know that the monsters had excellent hearing, so he deliberately provoked them, hoping to throw the monsters and Thor and the others into disarray.
Originally, he had also set up a primary demon-devouring array in the manor, intending to keep the Elf King and his men for a while under the pretext of a dinner party, and then use the method of boiling a frog in warm water to get rid of everyone quietly and effortlessly.
As a result, he teleported Josiah and his group back to the castle to restore their magic power, only to find out that because of the accidental disappearance of the little girl, the Elf King and his group rushed directly to the palace.
Not only that, the gate with the magic circle painted on it had already been destroyed, and the housekeeper was beaten half to death and hung on the gate as a protest, causing ordinary people passing by to talk about it.
Fortunately, he hurried all the way to the palace and saw that they had been hit by the man's high-level demon-devouring array and were in a very miserable state.
Feeling elated, he looked at Lingling, who he had seen kicking the statue's base when he first arrived, and taunted loudly, "Kick it all, little guy. Your father, uncles, and brothers are all dying anyway! Hahahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Duke's eyes turned blood red, and the skeletons in the square attacked faster. Not only that, the monsters outside the square also became targets of attack.
In an instant, all the people Lingling loved suffered new injuries.
When Lingling saw everyone injured and heard what the bad duke said, her already angry face became even more puffed up.
She didn't bother to hide her identity in front of the Duke, turned around, and quickly attacked the base with magic.
Red, green, blue...magical light flew everywhere.
This scene shocked the Duke. He looked at Lingling carefully and realized that her ears were no longer elf ears. Suddenly, as if realizing something, he let out a sinister laugh. "Haha, great! So you're the biggest variable! Then I'll kill you first."
As they spoke, the skeletons all turned and pounced towards Lingling.
The little girl was surprised that the base could not be broken by so many magic attacks. Seeing the skeletons running towards her, she had no choice but to circle around the base to fight the monsters.
Triton was closer to Lingling, and he stood in front of Lingling with the dagger Lingling gave her.
He killed them one by one, but because there were too many of them, his movements became increasingly difficult.
Sudden.
"Lingling, try to attack the base with that dagger."
The more Bai Jiu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Everyone knew how powerful Lingling's attack was. It was impossible for her to not be able to destroy the base of a statue. It was only possible that the base was protected by something.
He didn't know how Lingling found the dagger or why it was there, but based on the idea that "there must be an antidote within seven steps", and the fact that Triton couldn't make use of the dagger's special function, the dagger must be extraordinary and might very well be the key.
The little fellow was so busy fighting monsters that he didn't hesitate when he heard Bai Jiu's command. He dodged under the skeletons and ran towards Triton, shouting, "Uncle! Give me Lingling's sword!"
Triton was also very helpful. He had been paying attention to Lingling. When he saw her asking for a knife, he didn't think much about it and threw it accurately on the ground in front of Lingling.
The little guy's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the dagger and pounced on the base like an angry little tiger with its fur standing on end. He held the knife with both hands and chopped it down.
“Broken!!!!!”
Lingling let out an earth-shattering roar, full of momentum.
The Duke, who was not far away, suddenly had a bad feeling.
Just see...
“Click, click, click…”
“Lingling!”
Triton rushed over and grabbed Lingling in his arms, rolling on the ground.
"Bang! Boom!"
The base shattered and the huge statue fell over, killing several skeleton soldiers who didn't know how to dodge.
The Duke's eyes were bloodshot.
That was the high-level Demon Devouring Formation that that person said was absolutely unbreakable! How could this be?!
The Emperor's bloodline should be completely wiped out! Damn it!
The Duke knew that Tritton and the others' magic power would be restored in a short while, so he didn't want to fight any longer. He summoned a large number of skeleton soldiers to surround them and ran deeper into the palace.
Thor saw that the Duke was about to run away, but his magic power was still recovering and he couldn't attack immediately.
He hurriedly looked at Da Jin and made a tracking gesture.
Da Jin was also very tired. When he saw the guy who was obviously an enemy running away, he took off and caught up with him before Thor finished making gestures.
Only Xiao Lingling, who had just poked her head out of Triton's arms, was left. Seeing Da Jin catching up, she screamed in a baby voice, "Da Jin Jin! Be careful! Cough cough cough!"
The roar was so rapid that the little guy started coughing.
Triton patted Xiao Lingling's back lovingly and stood up with her in his arms.
Lingling stayed in Tryton's arms but didn't rest, constantly stretching out her little hands to attack.
She had just broken the bad formation and didn't know when her uncles would recover, so she started attacking subconsciously.
But not long after she attacked, Thor and the others also began to attack with magic.
Triton pulled Lingling's little paw down, then covered Lingling's eyes, rested her little head on his shoulder and soothed her:
"Lingling, leave it to the uncles. You take a rest."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lingling heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Hmm...it seems like the sound of the branches of the tree uncles.
Huh? It sounds like a water arrow breaking through the air.
Hmmmm! It sounds like a ball hitting the ground.
Hehehe, it’s the warm feeling of Uncle Thor’s purifying magic.
The little guy was held obediently by Tryton. He felt a little tired as he felt everyone was busy.
Uncles, Lingling, just take a nap for a while.
Several deep green healing spells landed accurately on the busy people and animals, and soon dissipated like fireflies.
The little dumpling's head lost its support and bumped lightly into Tryton.
“Lingling?!”
