Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?
Chapter 20 A Narrow Escape
The oak staff carried the two of them, swaying precariously as they drifted back the way they came above the Black Magic Forest.
However, the forest was now completely different from when they arrived, and had fallen into a frenzied riot!
The successive awakenings and uprisings of the two legendary demons were like two drops of ice water being thrown into boiling oil.
It instantly ignited a demonic frenzy!
Countless high-ranking demons, and even terrifying beings whose strength rivals that of extraordinary "heroes".
As if driven by an invisible whip, they surged forth from every corner of the forest.
They frantically converged in the direction where Moragus and Golog were!
The sky was no longer safe; it was pitch black, with all sorts of flying demons shrieking as they swept past.
Their target was also the location of the legendary demon, a place so vast and suffocating it blotted out the sky.
Xia's heart was in her throat. She held Lin Gui tightly, prepared to be discovered at any moment.
However, something astonishing happened.
Those sky demons flying by at high speed, some even grazed past them just a few meters away.
They ignored them as if they didn't exist!
Their scarlet compound eyes swept across the airspace.
Without stopping, they rushed straight towards the center of the riot in the distance.
"This...how is this possible?!"
Shea couldn't help but gasp softly, her crimson eyes filled with disbelief.
She could clearly sense the brilliance of Lin Gui's concealment magic, but it was just too exaggerated!
How could they have fooled so many high-ranking and even hero-rank flying demons at such close range?
This is simply a miracle!
"A legendary level of stealth? But you..."
She looked at the back of Lin Gui's head in front of her, but didn't say anything more.
But you're clearly just a high-ranking low-level mage!
In a mere instant, Lin Gui displayed an ability that defied all reason.
It brought Xia an unprecedented shock.
She finally understood completely.
How did this man manage to escape from that desperate situation during the last full-scale demon tide?
His hidden secrets and trump cards are far more unfathomable than he imagined.
The ghost in front of her did not respond to her shock.
At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.
Maintaining manned flight using the still-developing [levitation] technique is already quite taxing.
We also need to fully support [Night Veil].
It remained perfectly hidden amidst such a chaotic energy field and the perception of numerous high-level demons.
The exploitation of his magic reached a terrifying level.
He glanced at the mana bar on the system interface, which was almost empty and whose recovery rate was far behind the consumption.
He inwardly cried out in alarm.
"We can't stay in the air any longer!"
Lin Gui gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly from weakness.
The magic is about to run out, once the [Night Veil] is removed.
They would instantly become live targets for all the flying demons.
He forcefully controlled the staff, which was beginning to become somewhat unstable.
They descended to a relatively secluded clearing in the woods.
The moment the staff touched the ground, Lin Gui's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
The bulging backpack on his back also slipped off and fell onto the ground covered with fallen leaves.
The intense weakness brought on by overexertion almost overwhelmed him.
"Lin Gui!"
Xia exclaimed in surprise and quickly reached out to support him, letting him lean against her.
However, her violent movement in supporting Lin Gui inevitably disrupted the stable flow of magic.
Like a faded ink painting, the effect of the [Night Veil] that perfectly enveloped the two instantly vanished.
Their figures were exposed to the air without warning!
A small group of demons, who had just been rushing past the area on their way to the center of the riot, suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Their scarlet eyes instantly locked onto the two suddenly appearing "prey".
It let out an excited roar, bared its ferocious fangs, and pounced without hesitation!
"Damn it!"
Shia's expression changed instantly, her reaction as swift as lightning.
Before she could even put Lin Gui down completely, she drew her elven longbow from behind her back.
Nocking the arrow, drawing the string, and shooting were all done in one smooth motion!
shhhhhh!
Several sharp arrows imbued with extraordinary power shot through the air, piercing precisely into the heads of the first few high-ranking demons.
Kill them instantly!
But more demons are being drawn in from all directions by the commotion here!
In the distance, several exceptionally powerful and violent auras were rapidly approaching—those were Hero-level demons!
Its power is in no way inferior to that of Commander Lyon!
Shia felt a chill run down her spine, knowing that every second counted.
She hoisted the nearly exhausted Lin Gui onto her back and prepared to run away from the place.
"Bag……!"
Just as she was about to take a step, Lin Gui came from behind her, his low growl weak but unusually stubborn.
"Take your bag...! Don't...lose it!"
Shea was almost choked by those words. What time is it?!
Behind them were heroes and demons chasing them, and all around them was an endless tide of demons.
Every second was a matter of life and death, and he was still thinking about that tattered bag?!
She simply couldn't understand what important things were in that bag that would make him risk his life.
But seeing Lin Gui's unusually persistent gaze even in his weakness, Xia gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly.
He suddenly bent down, grabbed the heavy backpack, and slung it over his shoulder.
The next moment, she was carrying a man on her back and a huge bag on her shoulder, pushing the speed of a ranger to its limit.
It transformed into a green afterimage, plunging into the depths of the dense forest without looking back, desperately fleeing towards the forest's outskirts.
