Chapter 2017 How could something so strange be so kind?
After their failed attempt to locate the Demon Cave Forest, Fan Yaodong and his men immediately sent people to investigate all the surrounding counties, but they were unable to find any trace of the Demon Kings.
If they conceal their presence and remain silent, it is indeed difficult to distinguish them from the crowd.
However, just when things reached a stalemate, someone delivered another letter to them, mentioning that the evil army was about to attack Redstone City and that the Bureau of Demon Suppression should prepare.
Despite Fan Yaodong's concerns that this might be a trap, they still chose to head to Redstone City.
In order not to alert the enemy, all of them, the Earth Realm experts, concealed their auras and had everyone in the Town of Ghosts disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers.
Less than two days after arriving in Redstone City, the wave of evil spirits truly arrived.
At this moment, Fan Yaodong and the others were very curious. Who sent them the letter? How could they know so much about such strange movements?
At this moment, Xiong Qingcang said, "Could it be that some strange entity is informing us? After all, only a strange entity could know the movements of those five Earth Realm experts."
Upon hearing Xiong Qingcang's conjecture, Fan Yaodong and the others fell into deep thought.
They had also considered that this might be a message from the supernatural.
But how could the supernatural possibly favor humans? That doesn't make sense.
Zou Yi said, "How could the Strange Ones be so kind? It shouldn't have been the Strange Ones who did it. Maybe a human infiltrated the army of evil spirits, which is why they knew about the Strange Ones' movements."
Fan Yaodong glanced at the overwhelming evil spirits in the distance: "Whether the one who informed us is a human or a ghost, as long as the information is accurate, it will benefit us. Now is not the time to investigate who the informant is. The most urgent task is to resist this wave of evil spirits."
As soon as Fan Yaodong finished speaking, the Chasing Disc in Wu Feng's hand began to spin wildly.
Then the pointer of the Chasing Disc pointed behind the group of evil spirits outside the city.
Wu Feng immediately warned, "Sure enough, something strange has appeared, right behind the evil spirit."
Upon hearing Wu Feng's words, all the Earth Realm experts present perked up and looked toward the black mist behind the wave of evil spirits.
They could clearly sense several powerful auras within the black mist.
Although those strange entities did not directly attack, the martial artists could clearly sense the aura of evil spirits behind the waves because they used their malevolent energy to control those evil beings.
Xiong Qingcang clenched his fist and said with a smile, "With the suppression of the Great Zhou's fortune, their Earth Realm strength will definitely not be able to be fully utilized. This time, we will definitely be able to seal them again."
Fan Yaodong said, "We must not be careless. No one knows what cards they have up their sleeves."
Although they had seven Earth Realm experts on their side, they didn't know much about the strangeness of the Earth Realm.
The last strange upheaval was over a thousand years ago.
Moreover, for the Earth Realm experts present, this was their first time fighting against an Earth Realm expert, and they were unaware of the expert's methods.
Meanwhile, behind the wave of evil spirits, amidst the black mist, four Earth Realm Demon Kings stood suspended in mid-air.
Their gaze pierced through the black mist and landed above Redstone City.
Seeing the soldiers lined up above Redstone City, the Eternal Dark King sneered and said, "I didn't expect Redstone City to have made preparations in advance."
The Night Demon King said disdainfully, "So what if they are on guard? They are nothing but a bunch of ants."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost King remained silent, his blood-red eyes radiating a crimson light, his expression grave. Noticing this, the Silent Night Ghost King asked, "Blood-Eyed Ghost King, what have you discovered?"
Seeing Blood Eyes' serious expression, Night Demon King knew that there was probably something wrong with Redstone City.
The Blood-Eyed Demon King said, "Redstone City is just a remote city, how could it have so many soldiers? As far as I know, this city has at most a few hundred soldiers."
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, many cities had at most a few dozen soldiers guarding the city gates.
Redstone City doesn't have any important resources, so logically, a city like that shouldn't have so many soldiers guarding it.
Even though the cities in Jiangnan are now on guard, they probably won't have much equipment for city defense in the short term.
However, the soldiers on the walls of Redstone City were all well-equipped.
After hearing Blood-Eyed Ghost King's words, Silent Night Ghost King chuckled and said, "It's just a few more soldiers. It won't affect us much. This is just a remote little town. Even if we gave them tens of thousands of soldiers, they couldn't defend it."
The Blood-Eyed Demon King said, "It's best to be cautious. I have a feeling that there are human experts hiding in this Redstone City."
Despite Blood-Eyed Ghost King's warning, Night Demon King paid no heed, thinking that Blood-Eyed Ghost King was just being too paranoid.
At this moment, the evil spirits had already rushed towards the city gate.
After a rain of arrows fell from the sky, countless evil spirits collapsed to the ground. But the evil spirits behind them immediately stepped over their corpses and charged forward, wave after wave, fearless and surging towards Redstone City like ocean waves.
Despite the relentless barrage of arrows from Redstone City, they could not halt the advance of the evil spirits. In just a short while, the army of evil spirits had reached within thirty feet of the city gate.
But at that moment, some catapults appeared on the city wall. Then, countless canisters filled with oil were thrown out of the catapults. The oil ignited instantly upon contact with the evil spirits, and in an instant, the area outside Redstone City turned into a sea of fire. The evil spirits howled mournfully in the fire.
Kerosene is extremely harmful to evil spirits; once their bodies come into contact with kerosene, they burn violently.
For a time, the evil army found it difficult to advance.
Seeing this, the Blood-Eyed Demon King said, "Redstone City is indeed well-prepared. A remote town could not possibly have prepared so many arrows or stockpiled so much oil. Clearly, Redstone City anticipated that the evil spirits would attack the city, which is why it prepared so many things."
Seeing that the army of evil spirits had been blocked, the Silent Night Demon King said, "The local evil spirits are indeed a bunch of useless trash. It's time for us to make our move."
The evil spirits they gathered were not very strong to begin with, and although there were many of them, most of them could be killed by ordinary means.
Seeing that the Silent Night Ghost King wanted to take action himself, the Blood-Eyed Ghost King quickly reminded him, "Silent Night, don't make a move yet. Let our subordinates go and scout out the situation."
The Blood-Eyed Demon King felt increasingly uneasy, as if he were being watched from the shadows.
Although the Night Demon King also thought that the Blood-Eyed Demon King was making a mountain out of a molehill, he still did not leave the black mist.
Subsequently, the four Demon Kings ordered their subordinates, the Strange Ones, to launch an attack on Redstone City.
Most of the monsters have bodies similar to humans, and they are very fast and agile.
After the strange creatures were unleashed, black afterimages appeared in front of Redstone City.
Sensing the soaring, eerie aura, Fan Yaodong's lips curled slightly upward, and he muttered to himself, "Finally, they couldn't hold back anymore?" (End of Chapter)
