Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

While underground, Elvia suffered from darkness and confinement, which prevented her from visually identifying danger.

And once on the ground...

Sitting on that ant, for several days after coming out of the corridor.

Elvia even wanted the ant grandpa under her butt.

Find another burrow and retreat back inside, then lead them through the insect path.

The journey took thirteen days.

They passed through three forbidden areas.

For Elvia, this was her first time experiencing firsthand the terror of the red desert.

These forbidden areas may not be as strong as the Crying Blood Hill.

But the visual impact on Elvia far exceeded that of the former.

After leaving the eerily silent Sand Under Corridor.

The iron-backed army ants led them into a blood-red territory composed of several mountain ridges.

Its name is Shattered Skull Pass.

Before even entering, a strong, pungent smell of blood, comparable to that of a blood pool, filled the air.

In the field of vision, the entire canyon and the entire pass were covered with corpses.

They were all corpses.

The corpse of a demon.

Sand centipedes, cave giant scorpions, sand lizards, sand spiders, and other deformed monsters whose names I don't know.

They are all desert demons that are well-known in Elvia.

Any one of them could become a nightmare for the Knights of Carter's Capital.

More than twenty years ago.

The red soil desert was only a few years old when it was first formed.

The border regions were not affected by that tributary of the Kuroshio Current.

While the city-states east of the Withered Rift, such as Karan, New Covenant, and Flowerwood, were still under the control of the royal capital.

The Carter Kingdom once sent a Royal Knights Order led by a legendary pillar.

The plan is to explore the western part of the Red Desert, specifically the Dragon Bone Highlands, which borders the remote border region.

They plan to emulate the Red Wall and build a frontline outpost to guard against the onslaught of the Red Earth Desert demons.

result--

The knightly order led by that legendary pillar was completely wiped out.

According to survivors, just three demons who rose to power as heroes tore that legendary pillar to shreds.

And now, in this pass built of corpses.

Their corpses were everywhere.

The corpses of those demons who slaughtered the Knights are now piled up like mountains.

Each corpse had a large hole in its chest.

It felt like something had used its claws to tear open his chest and ripped out his beating heart.

Elvia's gaze swept over those empty chest cavities, and a wave of nausea washed over her.

According to Lin Gui, it is an epic of the forbidden land of Shattered Skull Pass.

An epic demon known as the Butcher.

It is not large in size, but its limbs are extremely long.

Its fingertips are curved, hook-like claws, and its entire body is covered in dark red scales.

Its head has almost no facial features, only a slit running across its entire skull.

It is bloodthirsty and almost addictive to the heart.

The last time Lin Gui passed through here.

I once saw it standing on a mountain of corpses.

Thousands of silk-like tentacles sprang out simultaneously.

It emptied the hearts of hundreds of hero-level demons in one go.

When those tentacles closed up, they looked like a blooming blood flower.

The scene was extremely spectacular.

He recalled it with a sigh on his face.

Lin Gui said that if Elvia and Lillian wanted to see it.

He could try to find those killers who are extremely good at hiding.

How could Elvia dare to look at that Blood Butcher?

Her face was as white as paper, and she shook her head repeatedly.

Even the barely suppressed anticipation in Lillian's eyes was frightened away by her ferocious expression.

As you venture deeper into the pass, the corpses of legendary demons, their hearts ripped out, hang on the mountain walls on both sides, like dried-out flags.

Elvia quickened her pace, urging him to walk faster.

Little did she know that this was just the beginning.

The Thousand Needles Graveyard that followed gave her even more goosebumps.

It was a wasteland covered with countless sharp thorns.

Each spike is as thick as several people could hug, piercing from the ground towards the sky.

Countless mangled corpses hung between the spikes.

Some have already dried into specimens, while others are still slowly dripping dark red liquid.

The ground is covered with a layer of fine needle-like crystals, which make a slight cracking sound when stepped on.

Beneath those crystals lie countless traps.

If you step into the wrong spot, all the spikes on the ground will spring out at once, turning your prey into a sieve.

The most terrifying thing is the Thousand Needle Demon that roams among the spikes.

Their bodies are long and thin like snakes, and their bodies are covered with barbs.

It can silently wrap around the body of its prey and then slowly tighten.

Finally, it turned into a shriveled corpse hanging on the spikes.

The Bone Demon's Lair is even more outrageous.

It was a huge cave complex made of piled-up bones, with walls and floors entirely composed of skeletons.

The bone demons moved among them; they were not tall, but their numbers were astonishing.

Thousands upon thousands of bone demons were crammed into those narrow passages, making a grating sound as their bones rubbed together.

Deep within their nests, low rumbling sounds could be heard from time to time.

That was a much larger bone demon moving from deep within the lair.

The Bone Demon feeds on flesh and blood; once prey falls into its lair, it will be devoured by countless bone blades in an instant.

While being horrified by the horrors of these forbidden areas.

Elvia understood this deeply as well.

Why would Lin Gui admire and call the tiny ant at his feet the King of the Wilderness?

This ant seems to have the entire map of the red desert etched into its mind.

It always manages to avoid all traps with unparalleled precision, maintaining a near-perfect distance from those terrifying demons.

It always manages to find passages and crevices in forbidden areas that Elvia never even considered, thus avoiding all danger.

The most outrageous thing is that this ant seems to have the ability to predict the future.

Inside the Bone Demon's lair, it stopped ahead of time and carried the three of them into a narrow crevice in the rocks.

Then they saw countless heroic-level bone demons being driven by an even larger epic demon.

It roared past them not far in front of them.

Countless bone claws stomped on the ground, sending up a cloud of white bone fragments.

Epic demons wouldn't notice their presence, but heroic bone demons might.

If they hadn't avoided it beforehand, even with the veil of darkness concealing them, they would have been overwhelmed by that torrent of bone demons.

Elvia was completely convinced by his outrageous abilities.

What she didn't know was that it was what enabled the Ironback Army Ants to accomplish these actions.

It was precisely those connections that she didn't pay much attention to.

Every message is transmitted and received through the silent collision of those tentacles.

This information is an intelligence network woven by an astonishing number of ants.

It is this vast and sophisticated information network that has created this miracle in the wilderness.
