Fortunately, he could still distinguish between north and south, so he turned and headed south with all his might. As the sky brightened, the trees under his feet gradually thinned out, and lakes like mirrors began to appear. In the distance, the sounds of battle echoed.
Hearing the commotion on the battlefield, Wang Yao's spirits lifted. He was about to rush to the edge of the battlefield to see what was going on when he suddenly noticed a huge dark cloud surging in from the horizon. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was not a dark cloud at all, but a large group of demons riding the wind.
The demons were all tattooed on their faces. Some rode on strange beasts, some spread their wings, and some flew through the air with their bare hands. Each of them was covered in jet black.
The demon army split into several layers in the sky, like a black mountain rising out of thin air, completely obscuring half the sky. From afar, the billowing black smoke and murderous aura were no different from the dark clouds rushing in with a torrential downpour.
Judging from the direction they were heading, it was exactly where Wang Yao was currently located.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yao was secretly surprised. He just wanted to go to the edge of the battlefield to watch the excitement, but he never expected that the demon army would rush straight towards him. Damn it, he was just a small quasi-Golden Core cultivator. The demons were really giving him too much credit.
Seeing that the visitor was hostile, Wang Yao quickly turned on the "Immortal's Sorrow" emery stick, twisted it sharply with his right hand, and immediately made his escape.
As he turned and ran, he glanced back at the demon army, only to find that the dark clouds were moving incredibly fast. In no time, they closed a great distance between them, and in the blink of an eye, he could even see the features of the demons that made up the clouds clearly.
These guys are at a higher level than me, so of course they're much faster. I probably won't make it back to Gale Fortress in time! Wang Yao's mind raced. He steered "Immortal's Sorrow" to the side, abandoning Gale Fortress, intending to find a military camp in the forest to take temporary shelter.
However, Wang Yao had gone in too many circles before. He flew for a long time but still couldn't see the camp of the gods, nor did he hear the familiar voice calling out the "password".
But the dark clouds were already closing in on the sky above the forest, rapidly dragging the dense forest behind Wang Yao into darkness.
The enormous shadow cast by the demon army resembled a colossal beast chasing after Wang Yao, about to slowly swallow him, who was as insignificant as an ant in comparison, into its gaping maw with overwhelming force.
Hurry, hurry, hurry! A large patch of dark cloud had already passed Wang Yao on the left. He watched as the forest not far away quickly fell into darkness, while the shadow behind him remained relentlessly close. He knew he was about to be overtaken! Cold sweat dripped down Wang Yao's forehead as his mind raced nervously.
If I get caught, I need to declare my immortal status first, so I don't get mistakenly killed by the demons. This is the territory of the gods, and the demon hunters shouldn't be here. I can think about other things after I become a prisoner. As long as I still have a mouth and can speak, I have a chance!
However, after running for a while, Wang Yao realized that he hadn't been caught up by the shadows yet. He was puzzled and turned to observe for a while before finally understanding that his change of direction had worked.
The demon army's goal was to rush straight to Gale Fortress, but because their aerial coverage was so vast, Wang Yao had the illusion that they were being chased.
In fact, the two sides had already developed a positional difference after entering the forest. However, Wang Yao was still on the flank of the demon army's advance, so he felt like he was still being chased. As the positional gap between the two sides widened further, Wang Yao gradually broke away from the range of the demon army's coverage.
Upon thinking of this, Wang Yao couldn't help but turn around, stop "Immortal's Sorrow," and watch the demon army hurrying away not far in front of him. This was probably a detachment of the demon army. He could think of using flight to bypass the layers of defense in front of Gale Fortress, and the demons could naturally think of the same.
Wang Yao was clearly not their target. Although the army was not far from Wang Yao, those powerful demons did not pay any attention to Wang Yao's presence. They were just hurrying towards Gale Fortress. Wang Yao's heart finally settled down, and he secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
However, at that moment, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out. Wang Yao was startled. In his memory, there should be no defense line of the gods here. How could a battle suddenly break out?
He looked around for a long time and found that the demon army was still rushing towards Gale Fortress with great momentum, without any sign of being stopped by the gods. Wang Yao was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on.
The explosions didn't stop; they were mixed with a series of rapid, popping sounds, which kept coming from a little behind him. It seemed that the Protoss camp on the main road of Gale Keep was embroiled in a fierce battle.
The situation suddenly became clear to Wang Yao: the demons were launching a two-pronged attack on Gale Fortress. One force was responsible for holding back the main defensive lines of Gale Fortress, while the other force was bypassing the defenses and heading straight for the gate of Gale Fortress.
Wang Yao simply couldn't understand why, since the divine army had already captured Partridge Village and cut off the demons' retreat, these demons shouldn't have concentrated their forces to launch a pincer attack on Partridge Village instead of attacking Gale Fortress instead.
Moreover, according to the information Wang Yao had previously learned, this group of demons could only have come from the Reed Camp. The Reed Camp had previously been supporting Wild Wolf Bay. Even if they were attacked by Xu Qing's troops and some of Gao Chong's forces and could no longer support Wild Wolf Bay, what would happen if such a large force were to launch a counterattack on Catfish City?
Wang Yao didn't believe that the Demon Clan leader still couldn't see that what was clearly in front of them was a trap. If the Demon Clan wanted to break through the trap, they could either concentrate their forces to attack Wild Wolf Bay, or launch a counterattack on Catfish Market. The best option, of course, would be to turn back and attack Partridge Village. At the very least, they could hold out in Reed Camp and wait for reinforcements!
