Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui had no time to care what Elvia was thinking.

At this moment, all his energy was focused on dealing with the demons that kept popping out from around him.

The brightness of the magic stone at the top of the Wind Whisperer's Scepter never diminished.

Magic surged forth from the staff, transforming into blades of fire.

But the number of demons around them is increasing.

The sand exploded, and one after another, brain-digging demons burst from the ground, baring their fangs and lunging at the ant swarm.

Lin Gui's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

The quantity is incorrect.

The last time he crossed the Red Sand Nest, he encountered a maximum of four Mind-Digging Demons.

No other demons ever appeared.

The ironback army ant at the moment of its death.

It secretes a very foul-smelling, devil-hated, and highly corrosive acidic substance within the body.

Its corrosiveness is so great that it can even penetrate the carapace of a hero-level demon.

Therefore, the ironback army ant is not on the menu of most demons.

Only a top-tier hero-level demon like the Mind-Digging Demon would be interested in this acidic substance.

The Mind-Digging Demon is incredibly powerful; it is a top-tier, highly aggressive, and extremely cunning demon.

They will set traps to ambush their prey, and will also launch an attack when the prey is most relaxed.

Their attack and defense capabilities far surpass those of other demons of the same rank.

That's because he knows this kind of demon too well.

He almost died at the hands of the enemy twice before he figured out their weakness.

As far as Lin Gui is concerned, this is the strength of any random brain-digging demon.

They were no less formidable than the vampire I encountered in the tunnel.

If he were to attack head-on with his Flame Blade, he might not be able to kill one.

Such a powerful ethnic group is very small in number.

They are generally only active in the Abyss of Worms.

Occasionally, a few will come to the red sand nest to prey on the ironback army ants.

And now...

One, two, three...

The sand kept exploding, and one brain-digging demon after another jumped out.

Lin Gui felt like he could hardly count them anymore.

All the brain-digging demons in the entire Worm Abyss have come over?

He didn't have time to think about the reasons behind it.

Standing on the back of an ant, they continuously "feed" the brain-diggers who were starving for food.

With a wave of his hand, black iron blocks appeared out of thin air and were precisely stuffed into the mouths of each brain-digging demon.

Broken fangs flew through the air, and heavy iron blocks dragged the brain-digging demons to the ground one by one.

Meanwhile, he kept waving his staff, and the fiery blades blasted at the other demons who had come to join the fun.

Organizing does not consume magic power.

Using black iron to deal with the Brain-Digging Demon was a near-perfect method that Lin Gui had thought about for a long time.

It takes at most a little levitation magic to correct the suspended position.

But he never expected that other demons would join in the fun.

Sand lizards, cave giant scorpions, and sand centipedes swarmed in from all directions, launching an attack on the ant colony.

This caused Lin Gui's magic power to be rapidly depleted.

There's no other way but to use that.

Lin Gui gritted his teeth.

Now is not the time to feel sorry for them.

He suddenly pulled out a withered, enormous demon hand from his storage space.

Those claws were at least half a person's length.

Its entire body is dark, and its surface is covered with withered and wrinkled scales.

Its five claws are curved like hooks, with tips that gleam with a black luster.

A thick, bloody demonic aura emanated from the claws, instantly filling the air.

All the demons stopped.

The Mind-Digging Demon froze, the Sand Lizard retracted its tongue into its mouth, and the Crypt Giant Scorpion's pincers hung in mid-air.

One by one, the heads of demons turned toward the direction of the forest ghost.

Hundreds of bloodshot eyes stared intently at the withered claw in his hand.

The bloody, demonic aura in the air attracted them like a magnet.

Even in the distant caves.

One by one, the heads of demons popped out, their eyes fixed on that claw.

Their eyes turned blood red, and thick saliva spilled from the corners of their mouths.

Lin Gui suddenly threw his claws into the air.

The withered demon claw traced an arc as it descended towards the sandy ground behind the ant colony.

next moment......

The entire Red Sand Nest has gone mad.

All the demons simultaneously lunged towards the direction of that claw.

Dust churned, limbs flew, and screams and the sound of bones shattering mingled together.

Brain-digging demon, sand lizard, cave giant scorpion, sand centipede.

All the demons huddled together, frantically fighting over the withered claw.

What Lin Gui couldn't hold back the most was...

Damn it, the ironback army ants under my feet all have bloodshot eyes, as if they're planning to join the fight.

The six segments of the leg slightly raised, and the tentacles thrashed wildly, signaling an impending charge.

It roared and charged toward the claws.

Lin Gui's staff slammed into its head.

"You're just a high-level idiot!"

"Recognize your own position!!"

The ant shrank its neck when it was poked, and a hint of resentment and grievance seemed to appear in its compound eyes.

But it eventually stopped and started crawling forward again.

Just as Lin Gui had breathed a sigh of relief...

A deafening roar pierced the sky.

It looked as if some enormous thing had fallen from the clouds.

A powerful gust of air crashed down from the sky, scattering sand and dust in all directions.

Amidst the swirling dust, Lin Gui squinted and looked in that direction.

A gigantic sky demon stood atop the pile of corpses.

Its entire body is covered with dark gold feathers, and the edge of each wing is as sharp as a knife blade.

Its head resembled that of an eagle, but it had three blood-red eyes that gleamed with a dark light in the dim daylight.

Its claws gripped the withered demon claws tightly, the gaps between them filled with bits of demon flesh.

At its feet lay the pile of demon corpses that had just been fighting over.

Those powerful brain-digging demons had now turned into a pile of minced meat, mixed in with sand and broken bones.

Lin Gui's pupils suddenly contracted.

He frantically searched his mind for information about the demon.

Finally, a name surfaced in his memory.

The top-tier legendary sky demon, Shadowwing Demon.

It was a sky demon that existed only in legends.

They hide in the sky and almost never reveal their true forms.

It is extremely fast, capable of traversing tens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Their ability to hide is extremely strong, making them the strongest among legendary demons.

They feed on other demons and are at the absolute top of the food chain in the Red Earth Desert sky.

Lin Gui finally understood why there were no Sky Demons in the sky above Red Sand Nest, or rather, in all the surrounding areas of the Red Earth Desert.

It turns out it wasn't nonexistent.

Instead, they have hidden themselves.

Hidden everywhere, they rule the sky with absolute stealth and speed.

The Shadowwing Demon lowered its head and began to gnaw on the withered demon claw.

As the claw meat was swallowed, its aura began to surge wildly.

The edges of the dark gold feathers glowed with a scarlet light, and intense excitement surged from the three bloodshot eyes.

Then it looked at Lin Gui with greed in its eyes.

Lin Gui's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He realized he had made the biggest mistake of all.

He attracted something he shouldn't have with that claw.

It attracted the attention of a powerful demon.

"Run!!"

His roar exploded on the sand.

The ironback army ants also seemed to sense the danger to their lives.

With a sudden burst of power from its six segments, it began to run wildly down the road like a madman.

Sand flew up at its feet, and the ant swarm followed closely behind, like a black torrent, rushing desperately forward.
