As the shadowy figure drew closer, everyone was finally able to see what it looked like.
It looks like a monkey but isn't quite a monkey; it has a strange appearance, is entirely black, has only one eye, and has a pair of wings on its back. It is the legendary Undying Netherworld Demon.
Among the passengers on the shuttle were many knowledgeable individuals, and one of them immediately recognized the creature and exclaimed in surprise, "That's an Undying Netherworld Demon, and it's even the King of Netherworld Demons!"
These words caused an immediate silence. Those who knew the other party's background knew something was wrong, while those who didn't noticed the strange expressions on the faces of those around them dared not utter another word.
Shushu watched quietly as the Undying Netherworld Demon King approached, a flash of shock crossing his eyes.
I thought I would only encounter these things when I reached the outer battlefield, but I didn't expect to run into them so soon.
"roar!"
Just as everyone was in shock, the Demon King on the other side also locked onto his target, and his one-eyed eye unleashed a fierce attack.
It stretched its neck, let out a long howl, and a terrifying shockwave came straight towards the shuttle.
It was quite obvious that Shushu could feel the shuttle boat beneath his feet being pushed back a considerable distance by the shockwave before finally coming to a stop.
Fortunately, the shuttle boat was of good quality; there were no problems or damage to the hull.
The Netherworld King clearly noticed this as well, and displeasure flashed in its single eye as it rushed over at lightning speed.
Upon reaching the vicinity of the shuttle, it raised its right claw high, a cold glint flashing in its claw, ready to strike the shuttle fiercely.
The people in the control room couldn't just stand by and watch; they had already maneuvered the shuttle to avoid it as the enemy charged at them.
However, the shuttle boat was not as agile as its opponent, and it barely managed to dodge the attack just before the opponent's claws were about to arrive.
After suffering repeated setbacks, the Netherworld King was completely enraged. His aura surged, and his two front arms attacked together, smashing fiercely at the shuttle.
The shuttle boat dodges, the opponent attacks again, it dodges again, and so on in a repeated cycle.
After a while, the shuttle boat would inevitably get hit, and each time this happened, everyone could clearly feel the shuttle boat shake.
And the further along the way, the more often you get hit.
Although there are no problems yet, it is clearly unrealistic to keep at it like this.
After all, the void near the battlefield is the habitat of the Netherworld Demons, not theirs.
Not to mention, this place also contains the food that the Netherworld Demons love most, which is a mixture of various deathly and resentful energies that have overflowed from the outer battlefield.
It is the most unwise thing to waste time with someone who is comfortable in their own little corner.
"What do we do now?"
It wasn't just Shushu and his group who had this concern; the leader of this expedition, the Vast Venerable, who was at the very top, also came to the observation room next to the control room with a group of powerful figures, frowning as he looked at the Netherworld King outside.
They had tried to get through many times, but the King of the Underworld seemed to know what they were thinking, blocking their path completely, making it impossible for them to get through.
But aren't demons creatures without intelligence? Why does this demon king seem to have gained intelligence?
The group of Venerable Haohan were completely baffled and had to examine the Netherworld Demon King before them again to see what was going on.
Meanwhile, on the eighth-floor observation deck, Shushu also noticed something amiss and, along with Lu Li, was staring intently at the Underworld King outside, trying to find the cause.
Finally, as the shuttle once again evaded its opponent and brushed past it, Millet noticed a mark under the left armpit of the Demon King.
Shushu had seen this mark in the memories of her ancestor; it was an ancient immortal seal, also known as a slave seal.
Therefore, the Netherworld King in front of him already had an owner. Shushu was horrified and secretly released some chaotic energy to begin observing the surrounding void.
Half an hour later, Shushu spotted a small shuttleboat hidden in the darkness to the northwest.
If nothing unexpected happens, the person who placed the slave mark on the Underworld King should be on that shuttle ship, and it is he who is manipulating and guiding the Underworld King to attack them.
Shushu immediately told Lu Li about it via telepathy. After discussing it further, the senior and junior brothers and sisters sent a message to Jing Ruiyi.
Jing Ruiyi replied almost instantly, with only two words: Wait for me.
Seeing this, the senior and junior disciples exchanged a glance, whispered something to Shuli, and then quickly and discreetly withdrew from the crowd, quietly heading towards the entrance of the passage.
Almost as soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the passage, they saw Jing Ruiyi rushing over. The three of them stared at each other for a moment, but quickly came to their senses.
Jing Ruiyi whispered three words: "Come with me." Then he turned and left. Shushu and Luli didn't linger and immediately followed.
The three of them hurried along and quickly passed the ninth floor and went up to the tenth floor. Jing Ruiyi even led the two of them directly into the observation room, where they met Venerable Haohan and a group of other big shots.
Time was of the essence, and Venerable Haohan didn't wait for Shushu and the others to greet him before speaking urgently: "Young friends, have you discovered any clues?"
Shushu didn't hide anything and immediately told everyone what he had discovered.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked and stared wide-eyed at the Underworld King outside in disbelief.
It wasn't that I didn't believe what Shushu said, but I never imagined that someone could actually make a contract with those strange things.
It should be noted that, like the demon race, the Netherworld Demon is an ominous creature that arose after the war.
They live off the battlefield, devouring life and flesh, absorbing souls, or feeding on death, resentment, and malevolence.
Wherever they go, they are the kind of people that are disgusting and wish to be eliminated as soon as possible.
