Chapter 355: Chapter 319: Evolution Points Soar
A few hours later
The dark purple sky seemed to be wiped away with an invisible hand, revealing a faint grey brightness on the edges, as the demonic qi receded like a retreating tide, exposing the eroded and uneven rock walls.
On the ground, the river of dark green blood no longer spread, beginning to seep into the charred soil, leaving dark marks of varying depths.
The sulfur and bloody scent in the air hadn’t completely dissipated but was no longer as oppressively suffocating as before.
The roars and howls of the demons gradually diminished, as if their ferocious energy had been drained, and countless twisted figures stopped charging forward, turning instead to head toward the densest core region of demonic qi, dragging injuries of varying severity with them.
The air was filled with the exhaustion that follows a celebration, leaving only trampled vegetation, coagulated filth, and sporadically twitching remains strewn across the wasteland.
The murderous aura that once changed the color of the sky and earth was settling as the demons retreated, leaving a scene of desolation that bore witness to the violent battle and the subsequent calm following the ebb of the demonic tide.
Demon Cave No. 2
Huff~ Huff~
Two figures landed almost simultaneously on the obsidian platform of Demon Cave No. 2.
The magma demon on the left oozed dark red lava all over its body, leaving smoking footprints with each step, its muscular arms pulsing with magma veins as thick as bulging tendons; the silver-winged demon on the right spread two pairs of metallic wings, the edges of its feathers gleaming with a cold silver light, though its right wing trembled slightly at the moment.
When the demonic tide arrived, they knew that the demon nature within their bones would be activated, likely leading to conflicts with other demons, so to avoid such occurrences, they opted to hunt outside, leaving their base to the slow-moving but incredibly defensive dragon-turtle demon.
However, what they saw upon returning made their faces change dramatically.
The dragon-turtle demon was dead!
Its entire body showed no external injuries, except for a gaping blood hole in its eyeball, with the edges of the flesh turned outward, exposing the rotten interior.
The dragon-turtle demon, known for its impenetrable defense, had died in such a bizarre manner, causing a chill to rise abruptly in the two demons’ hearts.
...
Inside the cave
Sensing the gradual calm of the external demonic qi fluctuations, Lu Sheng whispered, carrying a trace of excitement:
"The demonic tide has retreated!"
Upon hearing this, the tense bodies of the warriors finally relaxed, and smiles appeared on their faces.
"The demonic tide has retreated, but why hasn’t the commander returned yet?"
A soldier muttered quietly, casting a glance at the figure in the shadows.
They all knew that the commander had left the cave to save that person.
And he had come to the cave through the void gate.
Back then, when this person appeared with black wings and an eerie presence, they almost mistook him for a demon, nearly causing a riot.
Later, they found out that besides Xiong, Terreda, and Scarlett, the commanders brought another Tier Five Spiritualist.
"Scarlett Commander, the commander hasn’t returned yet. Could there be an accident?"
At this moment, Shen Juan approached the Poisonous Widow, asking with a hint of worry.
"Don’t worry, the commander is fine, he should be back soon," the Poisonous Widow replied with a faint smile.
There was a soul seal from Qin Tian in her mind, allowing her to vaguely sense Qin Tian’s position when he was near.
"I see, that’s good to know."
Shen Juan let out a sigh of relief; the Third Battalion relied entirely on Camp Commander Qin. Without him, Shen Juan felt uneasy.
Just as his words fell, a silver light suddenly illuminated the cave.
Qin Tian emerged from the void, still carrying the scent of blood not yet dissipated.
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
Seeing Qin Tian appear, the hearts of the warriors finally settled, and they shouted with excitement.
Qin Tian smiled and said:
"I’m fine. I made everyone worry just now. The demonic tide has retreated, and our battalion has successfully weathered the first crisis. Now, everyone, organize your equipment, it’s our turn to counterattack the demon cave."
"Yes!"
The warriors responded in unison, their fighting spirit soaring.
Having witnessed Camp Commander Qin’s various miraculous abilities, they were filled with confidence for this operation.
Crack, crack, crack
The Earth Element Spiritualist cast magic, and the stone wall blocking the cave entrance quickly collapsed, revealing the open land outside, stained black by demonic qi.
The warriors filed out of the cave, and even the air filled with sulfur and blood seemed particularly exhilarating at this moment.
Qin Tian walked to a corner of the cave, looked down at the silent Li Qi, and slowly spoke:
"What’s wrong, losing your confidence after just one operation?"
Li Qi abruptly lifted his head, his disorganized bangs partially hiding his dark eyes, and he stood up, his Adam’s apple bobbing before he spoke softly, "Boss, I just feel... after obtaining the Night Demon Bloodline, it’s like I’ve become a different person."
He pressed his hand against his brow, his tone full of self-mockery, "That kind of arrogance, where I felt superior to everything, even I find it unfamiliar."
He was only Tier Five, what made him think he could roam freely amidst the demonic tide without being discovered by demons?
If his boss hadn’t arrived in time, he feared he would have been devoured completely by those demons.
"It’s normal."
Qin Tian patted Li Qi on the shoulder, saying: "When someone suddenly gains immense power or wealth, their mindset will inevitably change. This operation is a good wake-up call for you. Learn from your mistakes and be more cautious in the future."
"Yes, Boss, I’ll remember this lesson."
Li Qi took a deep breath, his eyes gaining a trace of determination.
Seeing Li Qi regain his spirits, Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction. Failure is not terrible; what’s terrible is failing to learn from mistakes. Fortunately, the assassin Li Qi would not make such a mistake.
The Third Battalion organized their gear and returned to camp.
During the journey, Qin Tian also assessed the gains from the period of the demonic tide.
The greatest achievement was undoubtedly the awakening of the Gun Soul. With the Gun Soul and various talents combined, he now had the ability to steadily hunt Tier Six creatures.
Additionally, the Evolution Points surged by over 3 million, reaching a historical peak of 5.3 million, with over a hundred talents reaped, though only two had been currently fused into his body.
The two purple talents: Demon Pattern Turtle Shell and Injury to the Enemy
For now, the other talents were not particularly useful to him, so they were temporarily stored in the Talent Recycling Station.
But he remembered the functions of all the talents. If a situation arises where he might need one, he could retrieve and even enhance it with Evolution Points at any time.
Finally, Jie La, Kazik, and Karsas had achieved significant improvements in the hours of high-intensity fighting, especially Jie La, who had devoured a full meal of demon blood and flesh.
If this level of blood and flesh supply could continue, it seemed possible that Jie La might break through to Tier Seven when leaving the Demon Suppression Abyss.
"Commander~"
At this moment, Li Fei nervously approached and said:
"The headquarters instructed our battalion to start moving."
Hearing this, Qin Tian’s eyes flashed, and he nodded:
"Inform the headquarters that the Third Battalion has received the order and will set out immediately."
He looked towards the direction of the headquarters, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
