It was definitely not a good thing for Chen Kai and them to attack in a hurry, because Chen Yi's current magic power was only half restored, and his body was only less than one-third.

Because Chen Yi has to eat these foods, if she doesn't eat them in her stomach, even a cake that can instantly restore her body will not be able to restore her body a little bit.
So when Fei Yun said that he wanted to kill the demon who walked in, Chen Kai chose to stop it, after all, it was not worth wasting crossbow arrows for the sake of such a demon. At the same time, killing the other party will only have the effect of scaring the snake, and it will not be able to give the demons a strong blow and deterrence. Seeing that demon sneak into the temple like a thief, Chen Kai could only let Fei Yun endure it, and there was no other way than to endure him. As for rushing down and slashing the other party, although it looks cool, it is definitely the most idiotic idea now, once Chen Kai rushes down, it is estimated that it will not be the demon but him.
When the demon tiptoed into the temple, it didn't receive Fei Yun's heavy crossbow attack, but it still rushed in fear and didn't dare to look up. It didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief until it hid behind a pillar, but it was startled again when it was relieved. On the right side of its body, the skeleton of a demon burned by the purification aura and reduced to bones was leaning against the pillar like it, its hollow eyes staring straight at the demon. What frightened it the most was that it saw the metal crossbow arrow protruding from the demon's chest, the arrow of the crossbow arrow protruding outward, but the body of the arrow extended to the pillar it leaned on. If it weren't for this crossbow arrow, maybe the demon's bones would have fallen to the ground, but it was really because of this crossbow arrow that the demon hiding in was even more frightened. Because the crossbow arrow pierced through the one-meter-thick stone pillar and killed the demon, and now the demon hiding in was leaning against the same stone pillar behind it, and the little safety that had risen was gone at this moment.
Now the demon is already regretting entering the temple, and in its eyes, the place where they used to go has become a being more terrible than hell. No, hell is home for demons, and this place is not comparable to the home in their hearts. At least in the homeland, this demon did not have to worry about being pierced by the sudden crossbow arrows, let alone being burned to death by the terrible divine power. So it was scared now, and even the hand holding the shield was trembling in fear, but soon it calmed down, because the expected crossbow bolts and other attacks did not appear. So it felt safe around it, and its leader, the mad demon Longzur, kept gesturing at the entrance to the temple, making it attack the high platform.
Under the murderous threat of Lonzul, the poor demon soldier cautiously moved out from behind the stone pillar, the spear in his hand kept straining. Unfortunately, the moment it wanted to break out of the pillar, a sharp crossbow arrow instantly pierced through the pillar behind it and nailed it to the ground.
"Save! I!! "The poor demon soldier has not completely lost his breath for a while since it was pierced through the chest, although it is basically hopeless, because the vicinity of its heart has been completely destroyed. No matter how tenacious the demon's vitality is, no matter how good its regenerative ability is, it will not be able to repair the damage to the heart. So it is impossible for this demon soldier to survive at all, if it is slightly off the body when it is shot, it is fine, at least it can avoid the heart, but unfortunately it did not hear the sound of crossbow strings. Although it had heard the whirl of the bolts breaking through the air, by the time it did, the bolts had pierced through the rock and pierced its heart.
"Cut! Don't think I can't see it, don't you just want to throw me with a spear! Fei Yun slowly turned the lever of the crossbow machine, slowly retracted the ejected crossbow string and knocked on the trigger again. There were no advertisements in the text, and then he placed a new bolt in the launch slot of the ballista, and of course he could put a new bolt at any time, because now he could fire three bolts at a time. It's just that just now, in order to ensure the penetration of the crossbow arrow, especially to penetrate the stone pillar of nearly one meter, Fei Yun had to use only one crossbow arrow. In fact, even if you use the sight scope on the crossbow machine to aim, you are extremely lucky to be able to pierce the opponent's heart with a single blow this time. After all, Fei Yun only relied on the other party's exposed spear to judge the opponent's position, and if he didn't handle it accurately, he would not only startle the grass and snake, but also waste a crossbow arrow with armor penetration ability in vain.
However, it was clear that Fei Yun's attack was very effective, even extremely effective, and when the blood in the demon soldier's chest continued to flow, Longzur's eyes were about to protrude. Then it checked its position and found that it and Fei Yun were directly blocked by a stone door less than a meter thick, although it knew that it was difficult for it to be attacked by the other party at this angle, but it still couldn't help but take a few steps back. If Longzur took a few steps back in normal times, even a hundred steps back would not necessarily have any problems, but now there is a big problem. The general is the courage of the soldiers, the so-called soldiers are bearing, and as the leader of those demon soldiers, Longzuer is the leader of the soldiers, which naturally triggers the timidity of his subordinates. Lonzur only took two or three steps back, but his men instantly retreated a dozen or so pace, and the less daring ones even fled directly to a distance of five hundred meters, which they thought had come again with the terrifying divine power they had not long ago.
Looking at his frantically fleeing men, even Lonzul's extremely thick nerves felt a pang of shame and annoyance, shame that it had retreated without any attack, and annoyance because his men had fled faster than it. The only ones who remained at the entrance to the temple gate were a few who had been blocked in their way and Lonzur himself, and the rest were huddled behind pillars outside the temple or in the square.
"You guys are nice!! Lonzul gently patted the demon soldiers standing in front of him, but looking at its terrifying expression, these demon soldiers didn't feel like these four words were praise, so their legs were trembling. Longzur was helpless about his own subordinates, in fact, it was about the same. After all, although Khedira's demons were native-born, they were far worse than their kind in the true purgatory plane, at least in terms of survival competition. In the real purgatory or other demon planes, there are at least 10 billion demon larvae born in the River Styx, but only less than a million can really survive and evolve to the little devil or even higher, and this terrifying elimination rate has created a brutal and belligerent character in the demonic nature. They will never be timid, because they know that if they are timid, they will be abandoned by Mother Styx, and thus lose the possibility of evolution. This was not the case in Khedira, as there were so few demon larvae brought to Khedira by the River Styx. There are only a dozen of them a year, and even for a few years there is not even one, so the high demons, which are extremely valued for newborn larvae, are not allowed to kill each other. Fortunately, there is only a small tributary of the River Styx in the plane where Khedira is located, and even a tributary is not even a branch, only a fork, with a length of only 100 meters and a width of not even 30 centimeters, so it is better to say that it is a river than a small stream.
This river of Styx has no end or end, it suddenly emerges from space, and it also suddenly disappears into this plane. So it makes it easy for Khedira's demons to find those demon larvae and let them grow in a safe place, but unfortunately this also makes the newborn demons inherently lose their brutal character from cruel competition. Even among some of the higher demons, there is such a character as timidity, so in the face of this situation, Longzur really can't blame his own subordinates, who let it be like that.
However, this situation is definitely good news for Chen Kai and the others, because they have a few more minutes to rest. It's just that when they were happy, Xu Fei told them an extremely bad news, and several tall demons were slowly walking towards them on the outermost side of the temple square. Behind them, at least two squads of demon soldiers followed, which meant that the demons had at least seventy or eighty reinforcements rushing over, and would soon set foot in the square outside the temple.
"That's great news!" Looking at the demon walking slowly outside, Fei Yun held his head and sighed, because he saw a sword demon with a terrifying bone knife in both hands. The long bone hand knife was at least one meter and a half long, and the pitch-black blade exuded a blood-like color in the red light. The most important thing is that Fei Yun saw that the other party's hand holding the long knife was not with the weapon, that is, this knife demon had evolved to the point where the hand and the knife were separated. This evolution means that this sword demon is more powerful, and most importantly, its attack power is more terrifying. When the hand and knife grow together, the sword demon can only use attacks such as slashing, but now that the palm grows out, the sword demon's attacks become more strange and difficult to defend. For Chen Kai and them, this sword demon alone was enough to make them drink a pot, because its agility index was very high, and there used to be such a sword demon team in Zela Fortress that didn't rely on any ladder at all. Rushing up the city wall dozens of meters high just by relying on his legs, Chen Kai and the others are now only more than ten meters away from the ground, and it is a matter of minutes for this sword demon to rush up, so the moment they saw each other, the faces of several people became extremely ugly.
"Looks like it's really in trouble this time!" Looking at the demon with two knives in his hand, everyone's hearts were heavy. If it were replaced by a demon in his sixties, Chen Kai and the others might be glad for a while, because at least they could hack each other to death, and they had already hacked a lot of them. But now for the sword demon holding the double knife, no one has any idea of killing the other party, maybe using the power of the aura may be able to destroy the other party, but that is only if Chen Yi's magic power is enough to support more than three minutes. Because the level of this sword demon is at least above level eighty, only the eighth-order male sword demon hand will evolve and separate from the weapon.
"It's more than trouble! I think we can try to run away from the line and hide for a while! After all, the task is definitely not as important as a small life, by the way, is it okay to go offline now? Can you put up a tent? Fei Yun's head turned towards Chen Kai, who nodded, it is definitely not a good thing to be desperate at this time. It's just that when they wanted to open their tents, a terrifying fireball smashed right on the roof of the temple they were in, and the impact of the fireball was not great, but it brought everyone into a fighting state.
"I'm cǎo! How can these guys do this! It's Raipi, it's cheating!! Fei Yun yelled depressedly, after entering the combat state, being forced to go offline was really similar to suicide. The same is death, forced offline death will not only be randomly teleported to other places, but the death penalty is no different from normal death. In this state, Chen Kai is not much different from not going offline even if they are offline, the only difference is that it does not hurt to die when they are forcibly offline, but it hurts to fight to death in the game.
"It's useless to shout again, get ready to fight! Xiao Fei has used all those enhanced lithotechniques, this wall must not collapse, if it collapses, we will all be finished! Chen Kai depressedly put away the simple tent used to escape, this tent is specially used in the backpack to escape offline, even if Chen Kai is destroyed, he will not feel distressed. It's a pity that it's not used now, so naturally I can only continue to put it away.
"Got it!" Xu Fei slowly stood up from the squat stool, took out a scroll from his backpack and began to input mana. An earthy yellow light quickly sank into the wall of the temple that Chen Kai and they were leaning on, and the place on the other side of the wall that was bombarded by the demonic fire spell, the rock was rapidly reconstructed under the influence of the spell, and the big crater that had been smashed out completely disappeared in less than ten seconds. However, the thickness of the walls was reduced by nearly five centimeters as it disappeared, and all the rocks were transformed and strengthened by the effect of the augmentation.
"Girl! It's up to you! Chen Kai said to Chen Yi, whose face was slightly restored, and the little girl nodded lightly and stuffed the last piece of cake into her mouth. After this cake was digested, her body was completely restored, only less than four-fifths of her magic power was still under her power, and she needed to replenish it slowly. But there was no time for her to meditate now, so she could only take the risk of drinking the water of the holy lake again, relying on the power of the lake to quickly recover her magic.
When Chen Kai and the others were nervously preparing for battle, the face of the mad demon Long Zuer was also not good-looking, of course, his face was not good-looking now not because of his men, but because of those high-level demons who came over slowly. Especially the Flame Demon who had just released a fireball, this kind of demon with flames wrapped around its body had the appearance of a great demon, but it did not have the huge body of the Great Demon. But they are natural flame controllers, and their fire control is even more terrifying than the shemale demon that was killed, at least from the terrifying fireball technique that can instantaneously unleash.
"You have disappointed your lords so much that you let so many poor soldiers die in vain!" The eighth-order sword demon stood at the gate of the temple with a calm face, not only blocking Long Zuer's way, but also blocking its way out. In fact, its purpose was simply to force the other party into the temple, just as Longzul had forced his men to enter the temple not long ago.
"It's none of your business! Zoron, you get out of the way!! Looking at the sword demon in front of him, a feeling of disgust and something bad came to his heart, and it must immediately return to his lord to ask for forgiveness, otherwise its life will definitely be lost. It's just that this idea is just wishful thinking, and it is clear that this sword demon named Zoron does not intend to get out of the way, and it does not even intend to let Lonzur leave the temple alive.
"No need! There are only two ways for you to go in and kill the outsiders, so maybe the adults will forgive you and lower your punishment, and the second is to be killed by me or by the outsiders inside! So choose it!! Two bone knives that radiated a metallic luster lay in front of Long Zur, and a trace of cold sweat slowly seeped out of the mad demon's brain, and it knew that the other party was not lying, because even the Khedira Demon World would not allow a person who had failed several times to continue to exist. As Zolong said, there are only two ways for Long Zuer to go now, the first is death, whether it is in the hands of Chen Kai or in the hands of Zolong, but the former is called war death, the latter is treated as waste, and the second is slightly better, that is, to kill Chen Kai and a few of them, wash away their shame with the blood of a group of people, and then ask their lords for forgiveness. Looking at Zoron's glittering eyes, Lonzul immediately knew his choice, and he had no choice but to enter the temple and fight. At least it doesn't necessarily die if it enters the temple, as long as it kills Chen Kai and them, it can survive.
"Count it in! Zoraka, let's step back!! Watching as Lonzur slowly turned and walked into the door of the temple, the flame demon who had blasted the outer wall of the temple slowly walked over, and everywhere it walked under its feet were charred black footprints. This is caused by the release of flames from its body, and even if the Flame Demon can control these flames, it does not want to control them, because it hopes that it can grow into a terrible Fire Demon and turn all the paths it has traveled into magma.
"Yes!" The Sword Demon watched as Long Zuer, who had entered the temple, slowly put away the weapon in his hand, and at the moment when it retreated, a pale golden aura instantly unfolded. Then it heard the screams of demons coming from the halls of the temple, the angry roar of Lonzul, and finally the terrifying sound of weapons crashing. However, for this qiē, the few new high-ranking demons had no intention of making a move, and in their opinion, it was far better to stay outside and pick up the bargain than to go into the temple and fight hard. Even if Lonzul hadn't killed the outsiders, it would have been enough for them to be seriously injured, and then the demons outside would be able to go in and pick up the bargains. It takes no effort to take out an unpleasant competitor, which is something that all demons love to do.
