Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

"They were released a long time ago."

As he spoke, Monkey Two gestured a circle with his hand.

"Within this radius of dozens of miles, they can forget about using any communication devices. The terminal they have now is no different from a stone."

"Once they enter these hills, we'll trap them and beat them to a pulp."

After the two demons finished their preparations, they didn't linger in place. They leaped into the air and flew into the high-altitude clouds, quietly waiting for the 13th squad.

-----------------

Meanwhile, led by Luo Jingshan, the 13th squad was moving quickly through the woods.

Luo Jingshan, holding the Demon-Seeking Compass, walked at the forefront, his True Spirit Realm sixth level cultivation fully activated.

His divine sense spread out in all directions like a spider web, constantly probing every rustle and movement in the surroundings.

The entire squad was extremely quiet; everyone just wanted to return to Outpost 1 as soon as possible, hand over the mission, and get some rest.

Although this mission was extremely short, the intensity of the combat was considerable.

A short while later, the group stood at the edge of the woods, looking at the rolling hills ahead. They exchanged glances, said nothing, and rushed into the hilly area.

Because the terrain in these hills is more complex and the vegetation is denser, the team members are now closer together to deal with any unexpected situations.

Whoosh whoosh.

The team members moved quickly through the woods. Although they occasionally disturbed a bird or a butterfly in the bushes, they did not encounter a single monster.

Looking at the Demon-Seeking Compass that was spinning steadily in his hand, Luo Jingshan's vigilance not only did not decrease, but increased rapidly.

"Captain, something's not right."

Qi Xuan didn't even use telepathy; he spoke directly, raising his spear slightly.

The team members all stopped in their tracks; it was indeed too quiet.

They had been in the hilly area for more than ten minutes, but had not encountered a single monster.

Li Youan had already taken the bone whip that was wrapped around his waist and transformed it into a spear in his hand.

Although he is currently only at the second level of the Kaiyuan Realm, his cultivation level is only higher than Dongfang Jinghong in the group.

But he was still an array master, capable of making significant contributions in battle. He had already taken an array plate from his Heavenly Pivot Ring with his left hand and was rubbing it in his hand.

Dongfang Jinghong walked to Li Youan's side, his body already covered in a fiery red armor, which gleamed faintly in the shade of the trees, and his long sword was already drawn.

"Maintain formation and continue advancing."

Although he knew something was wrong, Luo Jingshan understood that stopping would be even more foolish, so he spoke to the others in a deep voice, his right hand already gripping the machete tightly.

After advancing for about fifteen minutes, more and more butterflies appeared around the group.

At first, no one paid much attention to those few butterflies, as these small butterflies were everywhere in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

But now, the butterflies have multiplied to swarms, and with each flap of their wings, a pale purple mist spreads outwards.

"Illusionary Butterfly, watch out! It's an Illusionary Butterfly!"

Upon seeing the purple mist, Luo Jingshan's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered something.

But before Luo Jingshan could finish speaking, the purple mist surged and instantly enveloped the entire canyon.

The team's vision plummeted, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and become bizarre and fantastical.

"The terminal is not working."

Li Youan quickly operated the terminal on his wrist, but the screen remained static.

"There are a large number of Devouring Worms around; this is an ambush." ​​Dongfang Jinghong looked at the terminal on his wrist and thought the same thing.

"Everyone, move closer to me!" Luo Jingshan roared, his machete sweeping across the ground repeatedly.

The blade energy flew out in all directions like a whirlwind, scattering the surrounding purple mist.

But it didn't have much effect, and the purple mist quickly converged on the thirteenth squad again.

Just then, a sharp cry of an eagle came from above.

-----------------

Time recedes slightly, amidst the white clouds.

Monkey Two and Eagle Soar were standing on the back of a giant eagle.

"Brother Eagle, they've arrived."

Eagle Soar also observed the 13th squad in the hills below, assessing the strength of both sides. Whether in terms of cultivation level or numbers, their side had an absolute advantage.

The 13th squad was already surrounded by the purple mist created by the Illusionary Mist Butterfly. The two demons exchanged a glance, and the giant eagle beneath them charged downwards.

-----------------

At the sound of the eagle's cry, everyone looked upwards.

"Here it comes, it's that monkey!"

Luo Jingshan gripped the knife hilt tightly, his knuckles turning white. He looked up and saw that familiar figure.

Several giant eagles swooped down, and on the back of the lead eagle stood two demons, namely Eagle Soar and Monkey Two, who had escaped a while ago.

"Humans! Today is your death day. Kneel down and beg for mercy, and we'll let you die a quick death."

Before the giant eagle could get close, Monkey Two had already leaped off its back and soared into the sky in front of everyone, his iron rod pointing directly at Luo Jingshan.

"You killed my brother, and I'll send all of you down to join him."

"Even a stray dog ​​dares to bark. If your brother hadn't exposed you last time, would you have gotten away?! You won't be so lucky today."

Luo Jingshan was not intimidated by Hou Er, but instead mocked him.

"you!"

Upon hearing Luo Jingshan's words, Monkey Two instantly flew into a rage and was about to rush forward with his stick when Eagle Soar stopped him.

"Calm down, don't get angry with them, go with their rhythm."

While blocking Monkey Two, Eagle Soar glanced down at the members of the thirteenth squad. At such close range, Eagle Soar reassessed their cultivation levels, finding them to be the same as before, and turned to look at Monkey Two beside him.

"Then let's proceed as planned."

Monkey Two didn't speak, he just nodded, and Eagle Soar then waved his hand behind him.

Several giant eagles shrank in size, their claws like iron hooks pointing towards the group. High above, a dozen or so Kaiyuan Mirror-level eagle demons circled, ready to pounce at any moment.

The moment the giant eagle appeared, Li Youan had already shielded Dongfang Jinghong behind him, while the rest of the True Spirit Realm members stood at the front of the group, protecting all the Opening Yuan Realm members behind them.

Seeing Li Youan's subconscious action, Dongfang Jinghong, who had been somewhat uneasy, felt a little more at ease.

"Looks like they still know to protect their employers first."

"What time is it? You still have time to talk to me about this?"

Li Youan carefully observed the surrounding monsters, but unexpectedly, Dongfang Jinghong transmitted this message to him.

Luo Jingshan looked at the demonic beasts that had surrounded them and quickly assigned them opponents.

The difference in strength is too great, so they definitely can't be mixed together. Otherwise, the aftershocks of his battle with Yingxiang would be unbearable for the others.

"Leave the strongest eagle to me!"

"Qi Xuan, He Xiaoluo, the five of you gang up on Monkey Two!"

"Wei Xiao, Zheng Xuan, Kang Ping, and Fu Ming, the four of you deal with the remaining True Spirit Realm Level 4 Eagle Demons. Zhao Jing, you provide ranged support to the four of them."

In the end, Luo Jingshan couldn't help but look at Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong standing behind him.

"As for the two of you, those Kaiyuan Realm eagle demons are all yours."

"What else is on my mind?" Luo Jingshan quickly added.

"Li Youan, your formation doesn't need our help. You two are under too much pressure. Focus all your energy on dealing with those Kaiyuan Eagle Demons."

"This is the most dangerous battle you will ever face. Be fully alert and don't take any chances."

After the battlefield was assigned, everyone rushed towards their opponents.

Li Youan looked at Dongfang Jinghong, who was standing quietly beside her.

Are you scared?

"How could I possibly be afraid!"
