Chapter 152 Defeated
Night Demon slowly stood up and looked over at the crowd.
The Night Demon, standing upright, was taller than the trees, exuding an extremely oppressive aura.
With just one glance, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; it was the instinctive awe of the weak towards the strong when there was a disparity in strength.
Lu Cheng's tone tightened: "It seems we underestimated the Night Demon's strength. Should we retreat first?"
"I'm afraid it's too late." Meng Qingyin's tone turned stern.
The Night Demon had already spotted them and was walking towards them at a leisurely pace.
It seemed confident and didn't take them seriously at all.
The Night Demon approached step by step, and everyone retreated in unison, maintaining a safe distance from it.
The Night Demon seemed to be getting bored, and with a swipe of its thick claws, several nearby trees were cut in half.
Night Demon picked up a broken tree branch from the ground and threw it towards the group.
It looked like a casual toss, but it shot out with tremendous force!
The crowd scattered in panic.
Lu Cheng was a little slower and almost got hit by a tree trunk. Qin Jiu reached out and pulled him to her side.
Before Lu Cheng could say thank you, another tree came hurtling towards him.
The Night Demon didn't seem to want to kill them, but rather enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, constantly using the trees to wear them down.
Meng Qingyin realized this and shouted to the others while dodging the trees, "We are no match for the Night Demon. Let's retreat before it decides to kill us!"
If this mission fails, it fails; my life is more important.
With their current strength, it's like throwing an egg against a rock; they're no match for the Night Demon!
Everyone knew that the Night Demon was powerful, so naturally no one objected.
With just a glance, the five of them rushed toward the entrance of the secret realm at top speed, without the slightest hesitation.
This quest provides a minimap that marks not only the location of the Night Demon but also the location of the Secret Realm Gate.
Without a map, finding the entrance to the secret realm in such a vast forest would be quite difficult.
The only downside is that they are now too far from the gate to the secret realm; even running at full speed, it would take them half an hour.
But there's no time to worry about that now, just run!
The Night Demon was taken aback when its prey suddenly ran away. It was stunned for a moment before letting out an angry roar.
It couldn't believe that its prey dared to escape right under its nose!
Night Demon strode forward, chasing after the group like the wind.
It was so fast that it caught up in no time.
Everyone was shocked by its speed, but no one stopped and it continued to run wildly.
A ray of white light flashed in my hand, splitting into five and entering the bodies of the five people.
The next moment, Lu Cheng's exclamation rang out: "What's going on? Why did my speed suddenly increase?!"
Not only him, but Meng Qingyin and the other two also felt that their speed had increased significantly.
Apart from Qin Jiu, who was still unaware of the situation, both Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying knew who was behind this.
The five suddenly increased their speed and quickly closed the distance between themselves and Night Demon.
Surprisingly, Night Demon also accelerated, quickly closing the gap.
Everyone realized a serious problem: Night Demon had not shown his full strength at all!
Even now, it still enjoys the thrill of hunting!
Realizing this, everyone slowed down their pace.
They were still half an hour away from the gate to the secret realm, and it was impossible for them to run at full speed for half an hour.
Even if they could, the Night Demon wouldn't let them leave.
To completely rid yourself of the Night Demon, you must defeat it.
Even if the hope is slim, it's better than being toyed with by the Night Demon.
Qin Jiu shouted and uprooted a tree, throwing it at the Night Demon's eyes.
The Night Demon gently blocked with his hand, swatting the tree away.
Qin Jiu turned to look at Lu Cheng: "Where are your pear blossom needles? Bring them all up!"
Lu Cheng looked troubled: "The pear blossom needle is specially made, and I have only made one so far."
As she spoke, Meng Qingyin gestured to the Snow Child to control the snow, and snowflakes fell from the sky, blocking the Night Demon's vision.
Just then, Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying rushed forward with their weapons, their targets being the Night Demon's left and right feet, respectively.
Their goal is to limit Night Demon's mobility!
My "unlucky streak" buff quickly caught up, and the three of them worked together seamlessly. The heavy sword and steel fork were unstoppable, slashing straight at the Night Demon's left and right feet.
but……
The current situation is quite different from what they imagined.
The steel fork only grazed the skin of the Night Demon's foot before it could penetrate any further.
The heavy blade fared slightly better, cutting a wound nearly half a centimeter deep into the Night Demon's left foot.
This action enraged the Night Demon, which kicked forward with its left leg. Meng Qingyin was unable to dodge in time and was kicked several meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Zaizai and Xue Tongzi immediately rushed over to check on her injuries.
The little one cried out in distress, "Master!"
Meng Qingyin spat out another mouthful of blood: "I...I'm fine."
Her face was deathly pale, which didn't seem like she was alright.
Over here, Night Demon got angry and kicked Chen Leying away with his other foot. Chen Leying was prepared and used the force of the kick to get away, but she was still inevitably injured and lay on the ground unconscious.
The Night Demon harbored particular hatred for Meng Qingyin, who had caused it harm, and walked straight toward her.
Meng Qingyin, however, lay on the ground unable to move. Her ribs had been broken by Night Demon's kick, and she couldn't stand up at all.
Seeing that the Night Demon was about to reach Meng Qingyin, Qin Jiu was shocked. She picked up the heavy sword that had fallen to the ground and slashed at the Night Demon's leg without thinking, shouting, "Come and hit me!"
Meng Qingyin saw through her intention and shouted, "Xiao Jiu, no!"
But it was too late.
Qin Jiu's slash left a deep, bone-revealing wound on the Night Demon's calf.
The Night Demon let out a painful roar and, as expected, stopped moving forward. It turned around and looked down at the tiny human.
Qin Jiu didn't linger in the fight; he threw down his heavy sword and ran.
Night Demon casually uprooted several large trees and hurled them at Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu nimbly dodged the big tree and ran deeper into the forest.
The Night Demon wanted to give chase, but it paused and turned back towards Meng Qingyin!
The cub leaped up and bumped into the Night Demon's leg, then opened its mouth and bit into its wound.
The Night Demon, in pain, reached out and grabbed the cub, pulling it off. The cub tore off a piece of flesh from its leg, and in its agony, the Night Demon tried to crush the cub to death.
Qin Jiu rushed over, picked up a piece of wood from the ground, and threw it over with all her might.
The piece of wood hit the Night Demon's hand that was holding the cub, and the Night Demon released its grip in pain.
The baby fell heavily to the ground.
Night Demon changed its target, rushed forward a few steps, grabbed Qin Jiu, and gradually tightened its grip.
Qin Jiu's face quickly turned purple.
Lu Cheng inwardly cursed, not expecting that Night Demon's movements had not slowed down due to his injury, but instead had become even faster.
He looked at me anxiously, saying, "Think of something quick!"
I'm incredibly anxious, being an unlucky player. He's just a support character, what can I do?
