70: Entering the demon world, the Beixuan Turtle's level soared!

Pedro looked up, meeting Chen Beixuan's deep and earnest eyes.

"Don't be discouraged. You have to believe in yourself. I have high hopes for you."

With that, Chen Beixuan turned and walked out of the tent, leaving him standing there in a daze.

Whoosh—

The tent flap lifted and fell.

Chen Beixuan walked back in with a dark expression, extending his hand to him.

"Give it here."

Pedro snapped out of it, saw the gold coin in his hand, and quickly returned it, feeling a bit awkward.

"Sorry, it's a habit..."

"You, from now on, don't come within 1 meter of me, got it?"

Pedro nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Got it."

He had witnessed the old man's deeds yesterday and still held him in great respect.

Recalling the phrase 'I believe in you' from just now, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Heh... this old man is quite interesting..."

......

Before departing,

Chen Beixuan went to the pet shop in Sunset City to appraise his mount egg.

A legendary mount egg cost 50 gold coins.

He was now considered half a nouveau riche, so he paid without batting an eye.

The mount egg also required eight hours to hatch, so he put it into his backpack and didn't bother with it further.

Under Papachee's arrangements,

The two were sent to a spatial rift outside the city, which was reportedly discovered in recent years.

Since it was not large in scale, the City Lord had controlled and preserved it.

They created a controllable small seal, using it as a portal to explore the Demon Realm.

While waiting for the guarding mage to unseal it,

Chen Beixuan and Pedro chatted for a while.

Upon learning that the return rate of the exploration teams previously sent was 20%, he couldn't help but become a bit serious.

Soon, the guarding mage completed the operation, and a spatial rift, glowing with blue light, appeared out of nowhere in front of the two.

The two put away the scrolls used to activate the spatial passage, then quickly darted inside.

The rift closed thereafter...

......

Demon Realm.

Northern Demon Plains.

A demon army of ten thousand was stationed here, ordered to guard the spatial rift.

Tents were scattered at varying heights, forming a circle.

In the center was an iron cage made of minerals unique to the Dark World, which prevented humans from using their magic.

Commonly known as being unable to use skills, silenced.

Two demon soldiers guarded the edge of the cage, chatting with each other to prevent falling asleep.

"After killing those few last time, no humans have come for a long time. Could it be that we've been discovered...?"

"Impossible, we haven't received any news of humans escaping recently. Where would they get the intelligence?"

"Could it be that humans have given up? That would be a bit of a pity..."

"Don't say it, humans taste pretty good... I'm actually craving some now..."

"Hey, last time I..."

Bang—Bang—

Before the demon soldier could finish speaking, they heard two thuds of something falling.

"Haha! Work's here!"

The two guarding demon soldiers cheered excitedly, quickly pressing the mechanism.

Chen Beixuan and Pedro clutched their heads, grimacing, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Before they could react, the iron cage door above them slammed shut with a clang!

"Huh? No, what's going on?"

Pedro had a bewildered expression.

He looked at the nearby demon soldiers, then at the surrounding demon military camp, completely dumbfounded!

Could it be that the spatial passage was located right inside the barracks?

But it shouldn't lead directly into a cage!

Chen Beixuan's heart sank; the worst-case scenario had occurred.

Looking at this situation, it was clear they had been waiting here for them.

The spatial passage was a trap, designed to eliminate human elite squads.

As soon as he descended, he instinctively released Protective Flame, but was prompted that he was silenced.

The source of the silence was the black iron cage trapping them.

He remained calm, trying each skill one by one.

Lightning Spell, ineffective!

Lightning Chain, ineffective!

Freezing Spell, ineffective!

Chaos Spear... Hmm? It actually reacted!

At this moment,

The two demon soldiers were about to happily go report to their superiors when they suddenly felt a chill down their spines!

They looked back and were instantly scared out of their wits!

Several golden long spears appeared above the cage, heading straight for their faces!

Puff puff puff—

True Damage -30348!

A light spear instantly pierced through one of the demon soldiers!

Then, under the effect of target lock, it pierced through the other one!

Puff puff—

True Damage -30348!

"Target lock also comes with automatic target searching, not bad."

"Since Chaos Spear works, then..."

Chen Beixuan's heart stirred, and he thought to himself.

"Void Escape!"

Whoosh—

The world darkened!

Time flow slowed!

He reached out and tried; indeed, he was not obstructed by the iron cage and passed right through it!

He took three steps outside the cage, then emerged from the void.

Pedro was still there, studying the structure of the iron cage lock.

He turned his head and was instantly shocked!

"Holy crap! How did you get out? You can use skills?"

Chen Beixuan spread his hands, saying lightly.

"It's simple, first like this... then like that... and then I came out."

Pedro: "......"

"Hmph, it's better to rely on oneself than on others. How could my name as a Divine Thief be undeserved?"

Pedro pulled out the small iron wire he carried with him, standing on tiptoe to try and pick the lock.

But this iron cage was designed to be high, and the gaps between the iron bars were dense.

He finally managed to jump up and grab a bar, but could only extend half a palm.

He struggled several times without success, making Chen Beixuan feel sleepy just watching.

At this moment, patrolling demon soldiers finally discovered the situation here and blew the alarm!

Woo woo woo—

A sound similar to a conch shell echoed through the military camp, and numerous footsteps came from all around!

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan decisively took action.

"Get out of the way! Lightning Spell!"

Boom—

After a loud bang!

The iron cage was successfully split open, but Pedro was foaming at the mouth, his hair standing on end.

"Oh, I forgot metal conducts electricity... Sorry, get up quickly, the ground is cold!"

Chen Beixuan stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and threw him outside.

Pedro was thrown head over heels, struggling to get up, muttering.

"Quick, let's run..."

"Run? Run my ass, wouldn't it be better to just kill them all?"

Chen Beixuan sneered, and with a slight thought, summoned Beixuan Turtle.

Through the patrolling demon soldiers just now, he learned that these demon soldiers were around 25th to 30th level.

Even if there was a leader, they probably wouldn't exceed 40th level.

For him, they were completely experience babies.

Perfect for leveling up Beixuan Turtle!

"Protective Flame!"

Whoosh—

Dense damage numbers instantly floated above the heads of the demon soldiers who had just surrounded them!

True Damage -10116, -10116, -10116, ...... (repeating)

"Ding! Pet [Extreme Cold Black Tortoise] level increased to 2nd level, attributes enhanced!"

"Ding! Pet [Extreme Cold Black Tortoise] level increased to 6th level..."

"Ding! Pet [Extreme Cold Black Tortoise] level increased to 12th level..."

......

His level was too high, so all the experience went into his pet!

Golden light fell in layers, and Beixuan Turtle's level soared rapidly!

Pedro watched this scene, his mind shaken.

Seeing it from the city wall was one thing, but seeing it up close was another.

The dense swarm of demon soldiers charged forward fearlessly, one after another.

Yet they were all turned to ashes by the fierce flames, piling up one heap after another.

The terrifying sight at such close proximity brought him an unparalleled shock.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "Too strong..."

Just then,

A roar came from a distance, halting the demon soldiers' attack!

Chen Beixuan cast Detect and raised an eyebrow.

"40th level Silver BOSS... Super-boundary Archer..."
