Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1271: Ethanol Is Highly Volatile

Fresh blood continuously flowed from Aslit's chest, quickly solidifying under the effect of the Frost Ice Arrow embedded in his skin.

Pulling out ice shards, for his own safety, Aslit reluctantly ordered the retreat of the advancing Enchanting Demons.

The Enchanting Demons have good night vision, but they cannot evade Bai Jin's specially crafted Frost Ice Arrows.

Aslit could capture the figures leaping among the trees, yet he couldn't see through the forest.

If Yang Yu and his team use the forest as cover, suddenly attacking when they enter, the outcome is uncertain.

With no other choice, Aslit organized the Enchanting Demons to jointly utilize magic.

The Enchanting Demons uniformly raised their arms, and a mass of black like a water balloon was cast into the sky above the island, transforming into a large Magic Array rapidly expanding over the island.

This was not Attack Magic.

A super large-scale Attack Magic capable of covering the entire island requires a lot of time to accumulate Magic Power.

Before the magic is activated, they would inevitably be exposed to Yang Yu and his team's sight, becoming targets for their attack.

The giant Magic Array cast a faint purple light, covering the island and slightly illuminating everything on it.

Under the magic's cover, the approximate locations of Yang Yu and his team members appeared in the Enchanting Demons' minds.

Bai Jin understood the magic's use but couldn't resolve it.

The danger of handling this magic is quite high, likely making her the target for all Enchanting Demons as soon as she appeared.

Fortunately, the magic in the sky was completed using characteristic magic power from the body for positioning, unable to precisely distinguish each person's actions nor see what someone is doing.

For example, through this magic, the Enchanting Demons could see people twisting bottle caps but couldn't tell if they were actually twisting caps or fastening screws.

Bai Jin and her team had considerable space for maneuver, able even to make specific movements to deceive the Enchanting Demons.

Magic woven once again, several Frost Ice Arrows formed in front of Bai Jin.

Adding special Magic Techniques into the Frost Ice Arrows, they completely concealed in the Darkness, Bai Jin repeated her skill, launching them at the advancing Aslit.

Even if they could only vaguely know Bai Jin and her team's locations and actions, Aslit could deduce the timing of Bai Jin's Frost Ice Arrow release from that information.

Swinging his Sword Blade, Aslit successfully sliced Bai Jin's Frost Ice Arrow in half this time.

But this was no matter for pride, failing to annihilate Bai Jin and her team would only worsen the situation.

Aslit led his unit into the forest.

On the other side, Benglie Ci Lin led the remaining elite Spiny Scale Lizards attacking Yang Yu's squad.

The incident of playing Yang Yu for a fool was still vivid, Benglie Ci Lin could not allow such a thing to happen again.

Dispatching several elite Spiny Scale Lizards as vanguards, Benglie Ci Lin stepped into the dense forest area.

Unfortunately, the Spiny Scale Lizards couldn't share vision through the magic created by the Enchanting Demons; they could only rely on the Magic Array's faint light to search for Yang Yu and his team's figures.

The ocean at night was extremely dark; to cope with survival pressure, many Spiny Scale Lizards evolved good night vision abilities, this dim forest was nothing to them.

Walking in the forest, each Spiny Scale Lizard maximized its Scale Armor, sharp Spurs constantly secreting Poison Liquid.

Some Spiny Scale Lizards even vaporized the toxin, akin to making bubble gills, forming bubbles between scales with toxin. If Yang Yu accidentally broke these toxic bubbles, the toxin inside would quickly gush out and surround them.

Suddenly, while walking, a rustle came from above the Spiny Scale Lizards' heads, something fell from the air.

An elite Spiny Scale Lizard instinctively stepped back, breaking the fallen object; instantly, a pungent smell spread all around.

"This smell is alcohol? No, stronger than alcohol. What on earth is this?"

Benglie Ci Lin realized something was wrong; the tree canopy suddenly lit up.

Looking up, Yang Yu lit a torch, sitting alone on the canopy above them, showing a strange smile as if saying, "You've finally come, catching up is the dumbest decision of your lives."

Yang Yu released the torch without hesitation, the flame flickering unstably in the air, the torch rotating due to its uneven weight.

Benglie Ci Lin realized what Yang Yu wanted to do, strived to rush towards his comrades to kick the torch away. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However, highly volatile ethanol had already filled the air, igniting into a fire upon encountering Mars with a "whoosh"—illuminating the pitch-black forest.

A nearby Spiny Scale Lizard suffered, flames engulfing its body as it frantically ran about.

Using this opportunity, Yang Yu activated Climbing and Incredible Braking Boots, repeatedly springing between several trees, targeting a slightly weaker elite Spiny Scale Lizard.

A red light stabbed into his palm, dying his Sword Blade orange.

Amidst a harsh sound, Yang Yu swung his blade, watching the blood of the Spiny Scale Lizard splatter, stealthily hiding in the shadow beneath a large tree.

The blazing fire cast shadows of the Spiny Scale Lizards, from analyzing these shadows' intercrossing, Yang Yu grasped the location of the Spiny Scale Lizards.

Through meticulous thought and calculation, Yang Yu launched repeated probing attacks, estimating the approximate percentage blood volume to trigger their regeneration, controlling their blood volume to just shy of triggering regeneration.

Benglie Ci Lin searched for figures leaping in the forest, intending to attack them.

However, Yang Yu could confirm the Spiny Scale Lizards' positions through the firelight, they couldn't confirm Yang Yu's position hidden in shadow.

Benglie Ci Lin somewhat regretted entering this forest.

Their target being his master, they would certainly set sail again; once they set sail, he'd have a chance to lead his forces to overturn their ship, dragging them into terrain more in his favor.

But...that was already too late.

Whether worried about them having other escape methods, or worried about them leaving the island without a trace, Benglie Ci Lin chased all the way here, ending up played for a fool.

Benglie Ci Lin's confidence acquired from countless wars began to crumble.

But Benglie Ci Lin did not relent, he decided to retreat strategically and escape the forest to re-plan.

Aslit hastily seeking credit, himself desperate to avenge his deceased brother and comrades, had been tricked round and round, believing he could maintain an advantage in unfavorable terrain.

Having realized this point, everything else became simpler.

"Don't engage needlessly, release Poison Needles for control! Just a few people are enough; more would just be wasting manpower! Wait for the Enchanting Demons to support!"
