288: The demons are rampant, and the descendants of Mother Earth retreat!

"This Lord, there are quite a few sea beasts nearby."

The Demon Soldier who followed saw this, as if he hadn't seen the giant crab's tragic death, and continued, "There are also several seventh-rank sea beasts here. When you didn't come out, they were very arrogant."

"Hmph!"

"A bunch of beasts that deserve to die!"

The eighth-rank Demon expert snorted coldly and issued an order, "Since we can't find humans for now, kill all the sea beasts nearby."

"This Lord will deal with those seventh-rank ants, and you will clear this sea area."

"Having been sealed for so long, This Lord also wants to have a good meal."

"Yes!"

As the order was given, large numbers of Demon Soldiers surged in all directions.

Their purpose was clear: they specifically attacked sea beasts, and sometimes even forced some timid sea beasts to lead the way for them to find more sea beasts.

The eighth-rank Demon expert's whereabouts were unpredictable, and his speed was very fast. In just one day, he killed dozens of seventh-rank sea beasts.

Even so, the eighth-rank Demon expert still did not stop.

Three days passed, and the seawater within a hundred thousand li radius was all stained red by sea beasts. Moreover, in this vast sea area, only traces of Demons were seen, not a single sea beast!

...Central Plains District, Great Xia Imperial Capital.

The Descendant of the Earth Mother saw the Willow God retract its willow branches, which were still stained with a trace of blood, and immediately asked curiously, "This is the Demon race's one hundred and twenty-seventh probing, right?"

The willow branches swayed a few times, which was its answer.

Seeing this, the Descendant of the Earth Mother immediately sneered, "These guys, who have been sealed since ancient times, are all extremely arrogant, thinking that sending out a few insignificant creatures can slaughter this place clean. Little do they know that with Willow God here, no demons or monsters can enter."

"However... although it is safe here, other places are not so lucky."

As she spoke, a hint of anger flickered in the Descendant of the Earth Mother's eyes.

In the past few days, she had personally watched the Willow God kill over three hundred Demons, the weakest of whom were only fourth-rank, while the strongest reached seventh-rank.

Fortunately, the Willow God was here and would not allow any Demon Soldier to enter.

"This is bad, this is bad!"

Just then, someone rushed over in a hurry.

Upon seeing the Descendant of the Earth Mother, he immediately spoke anxiously, "We just received news that countless Demons have appeared all over our Great Xia. They kill and eat anyone they see. I'm afraid countless of our compatriots have already lost their lives to the Demons."

"Descendant of the Earth Mother, is there any way to deal with them?"

Hearing this, the Descendant of the Earth Mother pondered for a moment and said, "Ever since I discovered traces of the Demon race, I have already contacted the current world's experts, asking them to come forward and kill the Demons, while I remain here with the Willow God."

"What, you don't know about this?"

"I know, but... people are uncontactable every day, and I'm anxious."

After the great changes in heaven and earth, most modern communications were cut off.

After so long, the Imperial Capital had only restored communications within its local area and a few nearby cities. But in the past two days, even nearby communications were cut off, and Demon Soldiers were constantly probing the Imperial Capital, which made the high-ranking officials in the Imperial Capital very nervous.

After all... severed communication meant that the place might have been occupied by Demons, or even razed to the ground.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

The Descendant of the Earth Mother sighed deeply, and after a long while, said helplessly, "The ancient seals opened almost simultaneously, causing the Demon race to surge fiercely and spread everywhere. Our manpower is insufficient, so we cannot attend to all aspects."

"We can only dispatch the current world's experts to deal with the strong among the Demon race."

At this point, the Descendant of the Earth Mother requested the Willow God to look after the Imperial Capital, while she said to the person who came, "How about this, I'll go to the nearby cities to take a look. If I find any Demon experts, I'll deal with them."

"But... but your injury..."

At this time, not long had passed since the trip to the Thunder Immortal Realm, so the Descendant of the Earth Mother's injuries had not yet healed.

She, however, waved her hand indifferently, "I know what's important. If I can't defeat a Demon expert, I won't fight recklessly. Don't worry."

As her words fell, the Descendant of the Earth Mother instantly vanished from sight using her mysterious technique.

She first arrived at a city east of the Imperial Capital. There, she saw traces of a great battle, which had just ended. However, the human inhabitants of the city were busy cleaning up the aftermath, and no traces of the Demon army were seen.

The Descendant of the Earth Mother patrolled around, asked a few people about the situation, and was about to leave when she suddenly sensed an aura appear, and then someone spoke, "I've waited so long, and finally encountered a good prey."

"You won't be leaving today."

She turned her head and saw a seventh-rank early-stage Demon expert staring at her menacingly. Her eyebrows immediately furrowed, "Overestimating yourself!"

Whoosh—

In a blink of an eye, the Descendant of the Earth Mother disappeared from her original spot. When she reappeared, her slender hand had already struck the opponent's chest.

"Pfft—"

The Demon expert immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to counterattack when he saw the Descendant of the Earth Mother mysteriously disappear again.

This time, a dangerous feeling came from above his head.

The Demon expert instinctively tried to block, but felt a heart-wrenching pain from his back. He roared in anger, "If you have the guts, don't hide!"

The Descendant of the Earth Mother remained silent, merely using her teleportation technique to harass the Demon expert.

Rumble—

Finally, after more than ten minutes, she successfully killed the Demon expert.

At this moment, the Descendant of the Earth Mother looked up at the distance, her expression extremely solemn, "Are they coming again?"

"You have a keen sense of smell. This Lord has been watching you for a long time."

Indeed, a Demon expert walked out from among many Demon Soldiers, looking calm and composed, "Not bad, not bad. If it weren't for General Huoba, this general might have also been ambushed and killed by you."

"But now, you won't succeed!"

"Seventh-rank peak!"

The Descendant of the Earth Mother felt the aura emanating from the opponent, and her expression instantly became extremely grave.

She had already used her full strength to deal with the seventh-rank early-stage Demon just now. Now that an even stronger guy had appeared, she probably couldn't handle him.

Without thinking, the Descendant of the Earth Mother immediately slammed one hand on the ground and left.

The seventh-rank peak Demon expert saw this, chuckled, and threw something out with a raised hand, while laughing loudly, "Although you have mastered rare spatial power, there is still a way to restrain it. Where else can you escape to..."

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly couldn't feel the Descendant of the Earth Mother's aura, and his expression changed drastically, "She really ran away?"

"Damn it!"

"I clearly sealed this space, how did she still manage to escape?" (End of chapter)
