'What's all the commotion behind us?'
'Did something happen?'
The human slaves at the very front of the procession, who had already entered the gate at the base of the stone wall,
paid no attention to the disturbance behind them.
Those who had just reached the entrance of the gate,
still a short distance away from entering, noticed the commotion behind them.
In the past, they would never have dared to slow down and look back.
Because doing so would earn them a lash across their bodies.
If injured, their wounds would easily fester.
Eventually, they would be discarded by the monsters in the wilderness to be eaten by wild dogs.
Even now,
having gained some confidence,
they still tried their best to maintain their composure, not wanting the demons to notice.
Even when looking back, they could only steal furtive glances, not daring to turn their heads.
Suddenly,
a roar erupted from the end of the line, echoing in the sky bathed in the setting sun.
"Go to hell!"
Immediately after, there was a bang.
It sounded like someone had been thrown out and slammed heavily onto the ground.
In an instant,
the air fell silent for three seconds.
Then, it exploded.
"Goo goo! Good! You dare to hit me!"
The chicken-headed demon shrieked.
It couldn't believe it had been sent flying by a human slave.
Most importantly...
It slowly reached up and touched its mouth, which was bleeding?!
The anger in its chest instantly ignited to its peak.
Beside it,
the sheep-headed demon also froze for a moment, then raised its whip to strike the adult male slave.
But the man grabbed it, and with a flick of his wrist, struck the demon with its own whip.
*Crack!*
Monsters' bodies were stronger than humans.
Although this whip strike drew blood, it wasn't severe enough to cause flesh to roll.
"Everyone, attack! What are you waiting for!"
The adult male slave, holding the whip and protecting the near-death child behind him,
shouted:
"Are we going to wait until they kill us all!"
The first to respond was a young slave pushing a cart in front of the man.
"Let's kick their asses!"
He charged forward and kicked the sheep-headed monster directly in the abdomen.
The sheep-headed monster staggered back a few steps, its eyes widening, "How do these human slaves have so much strength?!"
"There's more!"
Another adult male slave, picking up a sharp crystal shard, charged forward.
The slaves at the front of the line sensed something was wrong and looked back sharply.
Seeing that everyone had charged forward,
they gritted their teeth and punched the nearby supervising demons.
Since a fight had broken out, they might as well go all out!
They had long been fed up with these guys!
The demons stationed on top of the stone wall were mostly those with good eyesight.
Seeing the situation below,
two hawk-headed humanoids moved.
One spread its wings, while the other transformed into a great eagle, three meters long.
They swooped down.
Extending their talons, they intended to snatch two human slaves and fly them high into the air, only to let them fall heavily,
serving as a deterrent.
But just as they swooped down,
Number One threw a crystal shard, shooting towards the hawk-headed demon with spread wings.
At the same time, he kicked a stone on the ground,
enveloping it with spiritual energy to form a sharp blade.
With a gust of wind, it shot rapidly towards the five-meter-long giant eagle there.
*Puff puff!*
Two almost imperceptible sounds rang out.
No one paid them any mind.
Not until the next second,
when the two hawk demons fell to the ground one after another, kicking up a large amount of dust and sand.
The ground itself shook.
The humans and demons fighting were stunned.
The usually contemptuous eyes of the monsters showed a trace of fear.
"Kill them!"
"Take them all down!"
"Let the human slaves rise up—!"
The human slaves erupted, feeling the blood within them burning.
A scorching power surged from them endlessly.
Their minds oscillated between clarity and extreme excitement.
Fight!
Fight back!
Kill them!
The human slaves knew what they were doing.
—They were making the human slaves stand up!
Sacrifices would be made.
But as long as those behind them could stand up, their deaths would not be in vain!
The battle had truly begun.
The setting sun in the sky gradually turned red, as if it too had ignited.
...
Number One quickly scanned the entire battlefield.
With so many people here, they could handle it.
After dealing with the demons stationed on the stone wall who had rushed over upon hearing the noise, he directly charged inside the wall.
"I'll leave this place to you guys!"
'Shan' heard the voice and looked in its direction, but only managed to see Number One's figure as he jumped inside the stone wall.
"Alright—!"
He still responded, not knowing if the other party had heard him.
Inside the wall,
rows of stone houses, from short to tall, from simple to exquisite.
The more exquisite and taller the stone houses, the more they stood alone.
Number One leaped directly across the rooftops of the stone houses,
heading straight for the tallest one.
Along the way, some demons who sensed something was wrong
began to attack him.
"What little thing is this!"
A python on a rooftop flicked its tongue, coiled, and lunged to bite him.
Demons walking on the ground, wielding weapons, hurled their weapons directly into the air.
There were also scorpions with wings and poisonous stingers on their tails...
One by one, the demons attacked either in their original forms or with their own weapons.
But long before they made their move,
Number One's vision had already switched.
The flow of power within the demons, their acupoints, and so on, all appeared before his eyes.
He either dodged them or retaliated with the crystal shards in his hand.
Aiming at the weaknesses in the flow of power within the opponent,
he struck the snake at its seven-inch weak point.
With a single blow, he rendered the opponent temporarily unable to attack.
Or killed them outright.
As Number One advanced,
the taller the stone houses he encountered, the stronger the demons that jumped out to block him.
Number One's pace had to slow down.
After he dealt with the nearest large demon,
the thudding sound of its fall finally drew the attention of the demons inside.
Several powerful demons emerged from the tallest stone house.
A brown bear, and a creature with the body of a bull and the head of a human.
Among them,
the largest, standing in the center,
was a demon with a massive tail and a head resembling that of a lizard.
Its body was tall, and the two demons beside it were like mere children in comparison.
As it appeared,
the air pressure plummeted.
"Who is causing trouble?!"
