The location of the Bronze Fortress is backed by the Empire, with rolling mountains on both sides, and the main battlefield to the south is first a shovel-shaped plain more than fifty kilometers wide, then there is the treacherous terrain of Broken Ridge - where the fragments of the ring city should have fallen and were originally hit - and then to the south are the endless 100,000 mountains.

Bottomless cracks in the earth, sudden cliffs, steep valleys where only a glimmer of sky can be seen...... This is the terrain that Broken Ridge is everywhere.

It is said that the weeds will be more abundant in the second year in the soil that has been soaked by human blood; But the Broken Ridge doesn't grow a single grass, because every few years it is covered with the corpses of demons, and the blood of demons is highly poisonous! Even trees with stronger vitality will become hideous and twisted after absorbing demon blood, and their branches will be bare.

The sound of the six-legged wildebeest tapping was as dense as a torrential rain in the night.

More than a dozen wildebeest galloped across the valley in succession, the riders on horseback were silent, and a dozen torches held high were pulled into a line of fire by the oncoming night wind. There is no need for roads in the Broken Valley, as the bare ground can be used everywhere.

And the distorted woods at night are stretched by the firelight, like countless dancing demons.

"Stop!" Shen Yan said suddenly.

Hearing this, more than a dozen knights reined in and looked towards the end of the team together.

"There's something chasing us from behind!" Shen Yan said to the captain Mitchell.

Shen Yan's position is at the end of the team, and since nightfall, there is a sense of crisis behind him, and he has been beating Shen Yan's nerves constantly, pressing for a while and disappearing for a while, like a bellows that is pushed and pulled.

Shen Yan had already developed a considerable degree of confidence in his perception (15/16), and the 300-meter-wide magic vortex that unfolded would also have a partial bonus to detection, so he was very sure that there was a group of creatures chasing the hunting party behind him...... Even the whole team is unaware of this.

When the team galloped but could not shake off the sense of crisis, Shen Yan decisively chose to report - he had very little experience in fighting demons, and this was not the time to be reckless! In order to prove what he said, Shen Yan stretched out his left hand and made several mysterious gestures in a row towards the dark place behind him, "Greasy Technique"!

The smooth film of oil unfolded silently in the dark woods, and the sound of several heavy objects falling down was heard in the night!

Captain Mitchell's face changed, he was an elf, and he could tell by listening to the sound that the creature that fell should be four-legged and weighed as much as an adult wildebeest! Among demons, there are only ...... of this size

"It's the Three-Headed Hell!" He said silently, and everyone clenched the reins suddenly, but the captain raised his still intact hand and made a "stop" gesture!

Despite the great tension, each knight obeyed the order and stood still on his horse......

"Find a way to stop the back first, I need time." Mitchell said quickly to Shen Yan first, and then shouted to the rest of the people, "Light up the ground!" Throw the torch and look into the distance! And watch your step! The Three-Headed Hellhound always appears in conjunction with the Spider Demon, who will burrow into the ground! ”

The riders immediately complied, and several torches were thrown around.

At this time, Shen Yan also finished casting the spell, his gloved hand reached out to the woods behind him, and an orange-red fireball the size of a ping-pong ball flew towards the darkness. But as the seconds passed, nothing seemed to have happened, except for the constant sound of falling in the night.

"Is it a failure ......?"

As soon as Sandy was halfway through his words, there was a loud "boom" in the direction where the fireball flew!

A ball of light grew brighter and brighter, expanding into an orange sun! Crimson surged out of that spot like a volcanic eruption! The flames turned into huge waves, flying off nearby beasts and rocks, igniting the surrounding dry trees to create an apocalyptic scene!

The swollen heat wave carried the dust that rolled up, and even flew all the way to the side of the cavalry.

More than a dozen people were stunned, not only because of the dozen or so three-headed dogs of different sizes outlined in the flames, but also because the power of Shen Yan's magic was a bit beyond imagination!

"It's a pity that I didn't seem to be able to burn to death." Shen Yan felt a little embarrassed.

The power of the greasy technique + fireball technique is not bad, but the fire resistance of the three-headed dog also surprised Shen Yan. You must know that the most satisfying thing about this combination magic is the temperature, and the combination of adding fuel to the fire almost doubles the temperature of the erupting flames! But now it looks ...... The damage to the three-headed dog is still not significant.

Several of the three-headed dogs had their fur burned to shreds, and some had broken their legs after being blown up, and that was pretty much the result.

The eldest three-headed dog was unscathed. It turned around and stood in the flames, looking at Shen Yan with a green look, and the sight made Shen Yan's scalp tingle! Because this guy's back is level with the tip of the tree, and two of the three heads are born on the left and right, and his mouth is open to show his huge fangs, and his saliva drips on the flames! And the head in the middle turned out to be a man's face!

*****

At this time, on the other side, ...... "Discover the Spider Demon!" ”

The soil around the team suddenly appeared faint traces of soil layers tumbling, each as wide as several paces, as if something huge was crawling underground!

"Get the horse running, don't stop!" The experienced Mitchell shouted, "Give up the loot!" Abandon...... Corpse! He painfully added the last item. The riders believed in Captain Mitchell, and without hesitation, they pulled out their daggers and cut the nets on their horses, scattering the heads of the demons like coconuts!

But the man leading the reins of the wildebeest, which was still carrying the corpse of his teammate, hesitated.

"Let it go!" Mitchell yelled at the man.

"......"

It's too late...... The man had only said half a sentence when a large monster with six spider legs suddenly emerged from the soil beneath his horse and threw him and his horse to the ground! "Shoot!" , six arrows pierced the spider demon's body from all directions. Despite the large holes in his body and the corrosive fluids flowing out of his body, the spider demon did not give up on the prey he was biting.

Ignoring the wounds on its body, it grabbed the wildebeest with its feet, bit the cavalry with its mouth, and dragged it towards the hole in the ground, burrowing back into the ground in the blink of an eye! Mitchell gritted his teeth and swung his sword at him, only cutting off half of the spider foot......

"Run!" He roared with tears in his eyes.

This time, no one dared to disobey his orders, and all the cavalry began to gallop around in a circle, making it impossible for the spider demons underground to locate them. Only the horses carrying the corpses were left in place - everyone knew in their hearts that it was bait.

These are the lessons that the empire has learned in exchange for blood. In the open area, the Spider Demon is not difficult to destroy, and the moment it burrows out of the ground is the best chance to attack! Furthermore...... Although the Spider Demon moves in a group, the Spider Demon that has already obtained the prey will immediately leave the hunting group and give priority to hiding the prey. So the purpose of the decoy is to reduce the number of spider demons no matter what the outcome is.

Mitchell's plan is clearly to deal with the unguardable spider demon first, and then turn around and deal with the three-headed dog of hell.

After all, in the Broken Ridge with complex terrain, people can't outrun demons.

"Need more torches!"

"I'm coming!" Sandy waved his wand, and a ball of light flew out of the tip of the wand, and then exploded with a "snap". This magic like a "flare" illuminates an area of tens of meters in the vicinity! Now, everyone saw the situation on the ground more clearly, and everyone's hearts settled down a little.

Mitchell saw that the situation was a little more stable, and then turned his head to look at the back of the group.

Shen Yan ...... Shen Yan! ”

He only saw the back of Shen Yan charging towards the darkness!

*****

"The three-headed dog of hell should actually be born in the abyss, and there is a large number of reproduction in the seventh layer of the flesh plane of the abyss. Their blood is retrograde and is good at resisting fire damage. Of the three heads of a full-grown three-headed dog of hell, one will breathe fire and one will breathe poison. Elderly three-headed dogs, the third head will squirt acid.

Their weak points are the abdomen and the cold ......"

"Collapse! Collapse! Collapse! "Magical arrows can pierce through steel plates! The first three-headed dog to rush over, three heads were shot in a row! Shen Yan pulled the reins, and the six-legged wildebeest brushed against the edge of the Cerberus group!

The remnants of the fireball spell were still burning, illuminating the ground a dark red.

Pitch-black horses carry knights galloping across the flames, and huge bows gallop at each other!

He's more like a visitor from hell than a three-headed dog!
