In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"what?"

Shu was stunned, somewhat confused about the situation.

But Maria narrowed her eyes silently.

"Recognize me?"

She said, taking a step forward.

The demon took a step back.

"In that case, what else do you want to do?"

Maria said, taking another step forward.

The evil demon retreated several steps.

Maria clearly did not release any aura, and Maria clearly did not make any aggressive moves.

The evil demon can instinctively sense the despair that is etched into its bones in the other party.

"Ow—!"

It growled, trying to warn Maria that it was in great danger.

but……

"I hate disobedient things..."

In the moment when no one could react, Maria flashed behind the other person!

To everyone's astonishment, she completely ignored the evil demon's infection, reached out, and grabbed its neck!

This made the evil demon stunned for a few moments, and then his face suddenly turned ferocious!

"careful!"

Shu called out loudly, trying to warn Maria.

But Maria remained unmoved and just looked at it coldly.

Then...

Smash it down hard!

"boom--!"

Chapter 325: Red dripping blood.

What is the minimum number of attacks required to deal with a demon?

Maria gave her own answer at this time...

All it takes is one strike...

There are no true or false temptations, no real or fake feints.

Maria simply grabbed the man's head and smashed it to the ground...

“Ao——!”

Accompanied by an inhuman scream, the evil demon's body suddenly collapsed!

Its body shattered into wisps of smoke, and it let out a shrill cry and fled in a panic under the ground, as if it was avoiding something terrible.

This scene made Shu, who was standing beside him, dumbfounded.

But she did not simply stand there in a daze. Instead, after a moment of silence, she decisively activated her ability.

Golden air currents rushed into the ground, blocking off the area she had ignored.

After feeling the demons' impact weakening, Shu looked at Maria in front of him with a subtle expression...

"you……"

Although she had a certain level of confidence in Maria's combat prowess after learning she was a general who could conquer demons, she still found it hard to believe when she saw her actually defeat the demon with a single blow, causing it to collapse and even flee on its own accord...

Were people seven hundred years ago already so powerful?!

What kind of monster did the original body face at that time?!

"What's wrong?"

After doing all this, Maria stood up slowly as if nothing had happened and turned to look at the other person.

After seeing Shu's subtle expression, Maria tilted her head, her expression calm as if nothing had happened...

This attitude naturally caused Shu to remain silent.

But after a long time, she just let out a breath.

"No...it's nothing."

As she spoke, she raised her head again and looked at Maria.

"Thank you so much for this time. If it weren't for you, this thing would probably have caused a big fuss again... and it would have delayed the farming time again..."

Shu said this and slowly walked towards Maria.

But before she had taken a few steps, a feeling of fatigue and weakness came over her.

She was stunned for a moment, then her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Maria did not hesitate, reached out and hugged him.

At this moment, the other party's body felt a little cold...

"You don't look very well."

Maria's voice was very flat, but it caused Shu to smile bitterly.

"This is also something that can't be helped."

After all, she is just a fragment of the year, and the power she possesses is naturally no greater than that of her original body.

For her, sealing off the entire underground of the Great Wilderness was still too much of a task.

Especially in recent years, with the accumulation of evil power, she has gradually become weak.

This has led to more frequent reports of demonic appearances recently.

But what can she do?

She could only grit her teeth and continue to hold on.

In the distance, the supporting Heavenly Masters were trying hard to come over, their faces full of hurried expressions.

Maria just sat quietly at the edge of the farmland, holding the millet.

Maria gently stroked the other person's hair with her hand, feeling the other person's slightly cold body.

"But like this...how long can you hold on?"

Maria asked quietly, her calm words tinged with compassion.

Shu is indeed working hard, but how long can she keep going like this?

"Have you ever considered asking Yan Nation for help?"

"……some."

Shu did not hide anything. In fact, Yan State also knew that there were evil demons underground.

They were also very anxious about this and sent teams of Heavenly Masters to investigate the underground, study the evil spirits, and look for solutions to all this.

However, up to now, everyone's progress is still not high.

After all, the power of the evil demon is no less threatening than the behemoth back then. It is a more bizarre and unfathomable strange power.

Once you get infected, you will almost never be able to escape it for the rest of your life!

Therefore, Yan State is very cautious when dealing with these things.

This made Maria sigh slightly.

"In my memory, those people from Yan Country were the ones who dared to use Originium and the power of giant beasts..."

"Ha...what an old-fashioned statement."

At first, Shu was a little resistant to being held by Maria like a child, but once she accepted this, she could feel a strong sense of security from Maria.

The delicate scent of incense was like an invisible arm, slowly enveloping her.

Her voice also became softer.

"I used to always hear people say that the Yan Kingdom was this and that, but now it's not what it used to be..."

"But...is this really the case?"

Shu spoke softly, his eyes slightly lowered.

“People nowadays are also trying very hard to live…”

"……maybe."

Maria didn't dwell too much on the problem here. She just thought about it, holding Shu quietly, and checking the surrounding environment bit by bit.

The more Maria sensed the situation underground, the more her brows furrowed.

She could feel that the blockade beneath the ground was not so perfect.

This is not only because the territory of Dahuang City is too large, but more importantly, Shu's body has reached its limit.

She couldn't have done more...

"How long are you going to hold on here?"

Maria said, her eyes slightly lowered.

Not far away, the crowd finally arrived.

But at this moment they were looking around in confusion.

They came here to deal with the evil spirits, but at this moment... where are the evil spirits here?

"I do not know either……"

Shu seemed to feel that the way Maria held him was not comfortable enough, so he twisted his body, rubbed it, and chose a suitable position for himself before continuing to speak.

"Perhaps, I should hold on until people are able to deal with these evil demons on their own?"

"..."

"What's wrong?"

Shu could clearly feel that Maria paused in stroking her hair, and she raised her head in a somewhat strange manner.

But what she saw was Maria's slightly complicated look.

This made Shu feel a little strange.

Did she say something wrong?

"No... nothing, it's just... I feel very strange."

Maria shook her head.

She had to admit that Shu's words did make her feel a little out of place.

There was a time, even at the very end, when Sui never felt that humans had surpassed her.

She simply admitted that at that moment, she was indeed no longer strong enough to defeat humans, but based on Maria's understanding of her, she might have never admitted defeat in her heart until the very last moment.

But... millet is a little different.

Her expectations of people seem to be much greater than their age...

"elder sister?!"

Just as Maria was thinking, Ji, who had hurriedly followed the main force, finally discovered the two people resting here. Seeing Shu lying in Maria's arms, he thought his sister was injured and left in a hurry.

Shu didn't say much. He just saw that someone had noticed this place. He didn't continue to indulge in Maria's tenderness and slowly stood up with Maria.
