From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 18: Betrayer Mission

Cold sweat broke out on Huangmao's forehead. In order to hide his panic, he shouted loudly: "You all heard it. He doesn't care about the facts. He just wants to kill me wrongly!"

Hu Biao and his companions frowned, not knowing who to trust.

Judging from what the two have said in their confrontation so far, what Lu Heng said were all speculations with no evidence to support them.

However, if what Lu Heng said was true, then it would be too dangerous to leave Huangmao in the Quenching Castle.

Therefore, Hu Biao and his companions were undecided.

Lu Heng didn't bother to talk nonsense. He walked up and grabbed the gauze on the yellow-haired man's arm and pulled it hard.

The gauze fell away, revealing a horrifying scar on his arm.

"You should know the claw marks of the terrifying horned devil and what it feels like to be clamped by the claws of the terrifying horned devil, right?" Lu Heng looked at Hu Biao and the others.

Hu Biao and his companions knew very well the consequences of being caught by the Devil's Claws. Their team originally consisted of fifteen people, and several of them were killed by the Devil's Claws.

Once you are caught by the claws of the Devil's Horned Claws, the claws will not loosen even if you kill the Devil's Horned Claws.

So how did Huangmao break free after being caught by the claws of the Horror-Clawed Demon?
The answer is already coming.

Huang Mao's identity as a traitor was exposed, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He still wanted to argue: "Brother Biao, listen to me..."

Lu Heng was not interested in hearing about their team's internal affairs, and directly said to Hu Biao: "These are your team members. If the Quenching Fort is breached by the Horned Demon Warlord because of your team members, you know what will happen."

Hu Biao's face turned pale and he said, "I will take care of this matter."

As he said this, he walked towards the yellow-haired man.

"Brother Biao..." Huangmao knew that it was useless to continue quibbling, so he immediately activated his invisibility ability and escaped.

Hu Biao rushed forward, grabbed his neck and dragged him out of the castle.

Huangmao struggled desperately, but to no avail.

As he struggled, a red crystal fell out of his body.

Lu Heng picked up the crystal, examined it, and then showed it to the others.

[Red Light Signal Crystal: A special crystal used by the Abyss to transmit signals. When lit, it emits a strong red light that can be seen by demons within the visible range.]

Seeing this signal crystal once again confirmed that Lu Heng's guess was correct.

This signal crystal is used to indicate the location of the Quenching Fort.

As long as this crystal is lit, it won't be long before the Horned Demon Warlord comes with a large number of low-level demons.

Lu Heng took the signal crystal and went to find Guru to explain the situation:
"There is a traitor among us, and this was found on him."

"Damn it, this is the devil's signal crystal. The Horned Demon Warlord must have set his sights on the Quenching Fort." Gollum suddenly became panicked.

"Master, I can help you stop the Horned Demon General, but I need some props to execute the plan." Lu Heng offered to help.

"Great, you can use whatever items are in the Quenching Fort." Gollum can only place his hopes on these guests from different worlds.

"Are there any powerful explosives?" Lu Heng asked.

"Yes, it is, but this thing is a bit dangerous." Guru said as he took Lu Heng to the pile of debris in the backyard of the castle and dug out several boxes of slag produced by quenching.

Lu Heng picked up a piece and looked at it, and saw the properties of the slag.

[Unstable explosives: Unstable quenching slag has a strong explosive power, poor stability, and may explode at any time. ]

This thing is really dangerous. It might explode if you move it carelessly.

However, Lu Heng was not worried about this. With the explosives, the plan could go on.

"Master Guru, leave the task of stopping the Horned Demon Warlord to me." Lu Heng made a promise.

"Thank you so much, my friend. As long as Quenching Fort can escape from the abyss, all weapon quenching services of Quenching Fort will be provided to you free of charge." Guru also made a guarantee.

Lu Heng didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise.

In the previous life, the psychic who completed the "Quenching Castle Crisis" series of hidden tasks can gain the friendship of the Quenching Master Gollum and use the weapon quenching service at half price.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of the traitor forced Gollum into a desperate situation, and he actually increased the reward of half-price service to completely free.

There are still two hours until 12 o'clock in the evening, and Lu Heng needs to make preparations quickly.

First, let Su Muyu release the reconnaissance eagle to find a suitable location for an ambush. Finally, a commercial building one kilometer away from Quenching Fort was selected as the ambush point.

Then, release the shadow clone to carry the unstable explosives.

Everything is ready, just waiting for midnight.

As midnight approached, the fog in the city dissipated a little, and a few stars could be seen.

Lu Heng talked with Hu Biao and others and learned that they would return to the main world immediately after midnight and would not participate in the mission of stopping the Horned Demon Warlord.

This is good. To stop the Horned Demon Commander, having more people is useless.

As time gradually approached midnight, Master Guru officially activated the large space machine of the Quenching Castle and began to escape from the abyss. At the same time, Hu Biao and his companions chose to return as soon as possible after completing the main mission.

The option of returning also appeared on Lu Heng and Su Muyu's data panels, but they both chose to stay.

In addition to Lu Heng and the other person, Chen Zihang also did not leave, wanting to participate in the final mission of stopping the Horned Demon Warlord.

The three arrived at the ambush point, ready to fight the Horned Demon Warlord.

When violent spatial fluctuations occurred in the Quenching Fort, the entire city was shaking slightly.

The Horned Demon Marshal felt this wave, and a roar came from ten kilometers away, piercing the sky.

Lu Heng stood on the first floor of the building and lit the red signal crystal.

Roar!
The Horned Demon Warlord roared and led a group of low-level demons towards the direction of the red light.

It didn't take long.

Low-level demons began to appear near the building, with pairs of red eyes that looked extremely terrifying in the dark night.

Roar!
The Horned Demon Warlord rushed to the front of the building and roared into the building.

Lu Heng pulled out the Aurora Blade and kicked the signal crystal away.

The Horned Demon General, along with hundreds of low-level demons, rushed into the building and pounced towards Lu Heng, raising his forearms high and smashing down towards where Lu Heng was standing.

Bang!
Lu Heng activated the Gale Step and flew to avoid the attack. The Horned Demon Commander punched the ground, creating a spider web-like pit five meters wide.

The punch failed to hit the target, and the Horned Demon General continued to pounce on Lu Heng.

Although the Wind Step increased his speed, it was still not enough when facing a high-level demon like the Horned Demon Warlord.

The moment the second claw smashed down, Lu Heng immediately released his shadow clones and they fled separately.

Seeing Lu Heng split into two, the Horned Demon Commander couldn't tell which one was the real one, so he chose one of them to chase.

There is a 50% chance that Lu Heng was selected.

A bit unlucky.

However, Lu Heng already had a response plan for this situation.

Before the battle, Su Muyu had been taught how to use the skill linkage.

At the moment when the Horned Demon General pounced on Lu Heng's real body, a reconnaissance eagle flew in from outside the building, flew in front of the shadow clone, and spread into a ball of [Invisible Curtain], wrapping up the shadow clone.

This is surprisingly a linkage technique between [Scout Eagle] and [Invisible Curtain].

Under the cover of the invisible energy layer, the shadow clone quickly entered the invisible state.

The Horned Demon General was originally chasing Lu Heng's real body, but he saw that the shadow clone on the other side had entered invisible state.

It couldn't tell which was the real body and which was the fake one, but one of them had entered an invisible state.

The Horned Demon Commander's mind moved, as if he saw through everything.

Moreover, the one who enters the invisible state must be killed immediately, otherwise if you delay for a few seconds, you will never be able to catch him again.

Therefore, the Horned Demon Marshal immediately changed direction, pounced towards the invisible position of the Shadow Clone, and attacked it with a claw.

Bang!
The ground shattered and the shadow clone was blown away by the violent shock wave. The invisible energy layer on his body shattered, revealing his figure. Then the shadow clone could not withstand the power of the shock wave and exploded.

When the Horned Demon Commander realized that he had been tricked, he let out an extremely angry roar, turned around and wanted to chase Lu Heng's real body, vowing to tear the damn rat into pieces.

at this time.

Steel bars extended from the ground, ceiling, and pillars around him and bound the limbs of the Horned Demon Warlord.

This move is exactly Chen Zihang's metal ability, and his ability has been greatly enhanced.

The steel bindings could not stop the Horned Demon Warlord for long.

The Horned Demon Commander broke free from the steel bars with two bangs, but Lu Heng had already taken the opportunity to rush out of the building.

The moment you rush out of the building, ignite all unstable explosives installed in the building.

boom! boom! boom……

The load-bearing columns of the building exploded continuously, and the entire building collapsed, crushing all the Horned Demon Warlords and low-level demons that had rushed into the building into the ruins of the building.

The building collapsed, rocks flew everywhere, and smoke and dust rolled along the ground.

Lu Heng pulled Su Muyu and ran away, and at the same time saw hundreds of data prompts flashing on the panel.

[Hunting demons, absorbing 10 points of demon energy. ]
