I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2146 Crazy Dark Demons
Liu Jun quickly pulled out a yellowed talisman paper from his bosom, bit his finger and drew a blood talisman on it. The moment the talisman paper burned, his figure spread out like water waves, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. This was a talisman he had drawn before, which could be used in places without space blockades, but the distance of transmission was limited.

Soon after Liu Jun left, the first group of black demons had arrived around the lake that had just appeared due to the explosion. These low-level black demons were humanoid in shape but completely black, with scales all over their skin and sharp claws that left deep marks on the ground. They were frantically searching for something nearby like headless flies, and they were roaring angrily from time to time.

One of the black demons, wearing blood-red armor, was commanding these low-level black demons. His armor was engraved with strange runes, glowing dark red in the moonlight. Unlike the other black demons, his eyes were deep purple, emitting a chilling pressure. He looked like a high-level black demon, and a black demon with royal blood.

"Find! Find that damned human for me!" The voice of the high-level black magic was as harsh as the friction of metal. "If he dares to destroy our nest, I will make him wish he could neither live nor die!"

The low-level black demons began to search even more frantically after hearing this. They dug up every inch of the land with their claws, and some even jumped into the newly formed lake to search. The lake surface was stirred up and splashed with water.

The high-level black devil suddenly looked up into the distance, and a trace of alertness flashed in his purple eyes. He felt a familiar yet strange breath, that was the smell of the human race! Although it was very faint, it was indeed there.

"Chase to the east!" he shouted, and was the first to disappear in a bloody shadow. Seeing this, the other black demons also roared and rushed eastward like a tide.

At this time, Liu Jun, who had already escaped ten miles away, was hiding in the hollow of an ancient tree, holding his breath. He could sense several powerful auras approaching.

"This time I really stirred up a hornet's nest." Liu Jun muttered to himself with a wry smile, but his eyes were shining with determination. He knew that this escape had just begun.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of black demons gathered around him like ghosts. They were short, with hideous faces, and bloodthirsty green light flashing in their eyes.

Fortunately, these dozens of black demons were low-level black demons, and their strength was not strong. Liu Jun's eyes were stern, and his figure suddenly jumped up, and the dark sword in his hand flashed across the night sky like lightning, and each sword accurately cut the black demon's vital points. The sword light flashed, and blood splashed everywhere. Under Liu Jun's fierce attack, these low-level black demons were killed in an instant like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

However, this also delayed a little time, causing the high-level black demons chasing him to get closer and closer to him. The strength of those high-level black demons was far beyond that of low-level black demons. The lowest was in the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm. Their bodies were more agile and their strength was more terrifying.

Liu Jun knew very well that if he was really caught up by these high-level black demons, he would be in big trouble. At least it would be very difficult for him to escape.

"General, our first priority should be to find the queen." At this time, a high-level black magician wearing black armor and holding a huge battle axe said to the black magic general in blood-red armor in front of him.

"What the hell are you looking for? The explosion was so powerful, the queen must have been blown to death. How can we find her? It's better to catch this guy and kill him to avenge the queen!" The Black Demon General roared.

"No, General, I can still sense a trace of the queen's aura." At this time, another high-level black magic suddenly spoke with a hint of hesitation in his voice, "Although the aura is weak, she is definitely not dead. The queen...she must still be alive."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" The Black Demon General suddenly stopped and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

The dozen or so high-level black magicians behind him also stopped instantly, their eyes all focused on the high-level black magician who could sense the queen's aura.

This high-level Dark Mage isn't very powerful, but he was born recently, so his connection with the Queen is stronger than the others.

"Go! Go back to find the queen!" The Dark Magic General gave the order loudly, his voice revealing an unquestionable determination.

Then, he flashed and rushed towards the explosion site. The high-level black magicians behind him followed him one after another, their speed was so fast that it seemed like they were racing against the god of death.

Liu Jun felt the high-level black demons going away, and he couldn't help but feel lucky. He knew that these black demons were very powerful, and if he fought them head-on, he would probably not be able to escape unscathed. But now, these black demons changed direction, which undoubtedly gave him a chance to escape.

So Liu Jun took the opportunity to turn around and ran in the opposite direction of the dark demons.

The original lair of the black demons, the place that was once eerie and terrifying, and now turned into a lake, has been surrounded by low-level black demons.

The sparkling lake looks very peaceful, however, beneath this seemingly calm surface, there are hidden unknown secrets.

At some unknown moment, the mud at the deepest part of the water moved slightly. It was a subtle and rhythmic tremor, as if something was lurking in the depths of the darkness, ready to break through the shackles of the mud and see the light of day again.

But this thing didn't seem to get what it wanted so easily. It struggled for a long time, but the soil was like a heavy yoke, binding it tightly. Its strength was gradually exhausted, and every effort seemed so futile. In the end, it could only helplessly fall into silence, as if it had completely lost its strength.

At the same time, the Dark Lord General was leading his men back to the vicinity of the lake. They had only one goal, which was to find the Dark Lord Queen who disappeared in the explosion.

"Can you sense the queen's approximate location?" the general asked in a deep voice, his eyes falling on a high-level black magic. This high-level black magic had previously claimed to have sensed the queen's aura, so the general had high hopes for him.

Upon hearing this, the high-level black magician immediately closed his eyes and began to carefully feel the air around him. His brows were furrowed, and his expression was focused and solemn. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to the center of the lake: "It should be at the bottom of the lake!"

Upon hearing this, the general's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he issued an order without hesitation: "Everyone above the intermediate level, go into the water and search like a net! Even if we have to turn this lake upside down, we must find the queen!"

As the general's order was issued, high- and mid-level black demons jumped into the lake one after another like dumplings. Their figures quickly spread in the water, forming a huge search network.

Dark demons are rampant on land, but they are still limited when facing the vast waters. They do have the ability to dive underwater, but that is not their strong point. Staying underwater for a long time is undoubtedly a torment for them.

Even the Black Demon General could not bear the long-term oppression and discomfort underwater. Finally, after an hour of difficult searching, it had to break free from the bottom of the water and return to land, gasping for breath, with reluctance and anxiety in its eyes.

The middle and high-level black demons were already exhausted. They dived into the water again and again, and surfaced again and again, as if they were in an endless cycle.

There was anxiety and helplessness in their eyes. Every time they dived, they placed their hopes on finding the queen, but every time they surfaced, their hopes were dashed.

However, no matter how hard they tried, the queen seemed to have evaporated without a trace. The lake seemed to have become an all-consuming abyss, swallowing up the queen's breath and figure.

"Sense the queen's breath carefully again!" The voice of the Black Demon General seemed particularly cold and majestic in the silent night. His eyes were like knives, piercing the high-level Black Demon, as if he wanted to pierce through his soul.

The high-level black devil trembled and closed his eyes again, trying hard to capture that almost negligible breath.

After a moment, the high-level black devil slowly opened his eyes, frowning, and his voice trembled: "There is still a trace of the queen's breath... but it is getting weaker and weaker..."

"Where is the breath located?" The question from the Dark Demon General was like an arrow in the ice, shooting straight into the heart of the high-level Dark Demon.

"Or... the bottom of the lake." The high-level black magician's answer was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves.

"The bottom of the lake? Do you need to tell me that?" The Dark Demon General was furious, his voice echoing in the night sky like thunder. His eyes were almost spitting fire as he stared at the high-level Dark Demon, "I'm asking you where you are at the bottom of the lake?!"

At this moment, all the black devils held their breath, waiting for the high-level black devil's answer. However, the high-level black devil could only shake his head helplessly, with confusion and powerlessness written all over his face: "I don't know... the breath is too weak... I can't determine the exact location..."

The search seemed to have reached a deadlock. The anger and helplessness of the Dark Lord intertwined, creating an extremely depressing atmosphere. And the queen, like a ghost, was still missing without a trace.

"Pump the water! No matter what method you use, drain the lake water!" The voice of the Black Demon General echoed on the empty lakeside.

As soon as the order was given, the surrounding black demons immediately took action. Some of them were busy building pumping equipment, while others were carrying heavy stones and wood to build temporary canals to divert the lake water to other places.

"Mid- to high-level black magicians, continue to go into the water and search the bottom of the lake a few more times!" The general's additional order followed closely, and his tone revealed a hint of urgency that could not afford to slack off.

Then, those middle and high-level black demons jumped into the lake one after another. Their figures were looming in the turbid water. They carefully searched every inch of the lake bottom and did not miss any possible hiding place.

The lake water gradually dropped, revealing a muddy lake bottom. The dark demons struggled forward in the mud, searching continuously.

"We must find the queen!" the general's voice rang out again.

At this time, a certain part of the mud at the bottom of the lake moved slightly. There happened to be a high-level black magic nearby, and he immediately noticed this slight abnormality.

This lake was just formed in a violent explosion. The water was turbid, and the bottom of the lake was covered with debris and silt. It was impossible for aquatic life to exist. Therefore, the high-level black magic immediately realized that there must be something abnormal here.

"Get out of here!" The high-level black devil roared, resounding around like thunder. His powerful force burst out, directly blowing away the low-level and mid-level black devils near the mud. Their bodies drew arcs in the air and fell heavily to the ground in the distance. The scene was very rough and shocking.
