Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 890 - 8: Demon Sky Beast

Yue Jinghua initially believed that having crossed the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone once before, entering it again should be easier, so she did not request additional manpower, instead, she hurried to the Hurricane Rocky Area with just a dozen people and over ten flying demon beasts.

Before setting off, Yue Jinghua had already inquired that the secret passage in the Hurricane Rocky Area was specially opened by City Lord Changsun to ensure the safety of two key members of the Huang Family and also to respond to emergencies in Four Symbols City. The chosen route was relatively safe, and Yue Jinghua had already obtained the map from the City Lord Mansion.

Little did she know that upon entering the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone with the July Mercenary Team, they found the situation far worse than expected.

The Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone had changed its appearance. Previously, although it was very dangerous, crossing at certain times and finding the optimal route could allow them to evade the hail-like stones and pass safely.

Yet now, the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone had seemingly become a new Divine Ruins.

"What happened with the reconnaissance soldiers? The situation is completely different from the reported information," Yue Jinghua was greatly shocked and immediately ordered the Titan to stop at the outskirts of the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone.

Before passing through the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone, Yue Jinghua’s powerful spiritual power had already detected that there were a large number of roaming demon beasts ahead, numerous in count, and all were high-level demon beasts.

These demon beasts congregated in groups of dozens, led by a Beast King, organized and disciplined, conducting patrols in turns.

Even worse, inside, the number of rocks had significantly increased, and the hurricane had turned into unpredictable wind caves, capable of engulfing people or even empty ships without a trace at any moment.

"Princess Xue Lingshang and Prince Yu Ji are aboard different airships; to rescue them, we must first ascertain the locations of their respective airships," Yue Jinghua’s spiritual power could no longer penetrate deeper.

"The Demon Clan is the race most skilled in using arrays among all races. They have clearly employed a spatial expansion array in this Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone, enlarging its area by at least tenfold, introducing many unknown regions. The wind caves in the Hurricane Zone are also a special type of wind system array," Qian Luo observed solemnly.

Qing Pu also reported to Yue Jinghua that among the demon beasts, there were many proficient in flying, very fast, with the speed of a few Beast Kings being comparable to the normal flying range of the Titan, far faster than the Empire and Federation’s airships.

"Master, we’ve made contact with Prince Yu Ji’s airship," the helmsman, a fugitive previously brought from the Divine Ruins, offered significant help at this crucial moment.

He assisted Qian Luo in improving the Sound Transmission Array on the Titan, and, after some effort, finally established communication with the Federation airship.

"Is it reinforcement from Four Symbols City? I’m Helian Sheng. We are trapped in the northeastern edge of the Chaotic World Hurricane Zone, with at least three Demon Army’s demon sky beasts wandering nearby. We have already killed one demon sky beast, but there are at least three or four more demon sky beasts approaching this direction. If you cannot arrive within two hours, our airship won’t hold," Helian Sheng’s anxious voice intermittently came through the Sound Transmission Array.

Yue Jinghua knew Helian Sheng, whether as a soldier or a businessman, had never been this anxious before.

The Federation airship, especially the one protecting Prince Yu Ji, an important Federation member, was equipped with fifty Consecutive Attack Xuan Crystal Cannons, manned by Senior Cannon Masters with Dark Heavenly Cultivation, under Helian Sheng’s command. On Canglong Continent, such an airship could fend off a ten thousand-strong army or a Dragon Rider Team formed by ten Sub-Asian Dragons.

But judging from Helian Sheng’s tone, Yue Jinghua anticipated that the Federation airship was undoubtedly in extreme crisis.

"Brother Helian, I’m Yue Jinghua, dispatched by Four Symbols City to assist you. Please tell me your exact airship location and the casualty details. Ensure to keep everyone calm onboard. We will successfully arrive within two hours. Also, what exactly is the demon sky beast? Please explain in detail to facilitate our subsequent actions," Yue Jinghua communicated with Helian Sheng methodically.

The Demon Clan does not possess the mature technology to manufacture airships like the Human Race; apart from flying demon beasts, they use a flying apparatus known as demon sky beasts.

This apparatus, when manufacturing methods are discussed, is considered extremely brutal, but its combat power is astonishing. Only the Demon Clan would have such cunning and means to produce many demon sky beasts.

Demon sky beasts, although demon beasts, are not genuine demon beasts; they are dead beasts, or rather, corpses of demon beasts.

The Demon Clan uses large demon beasts, such as super ocean beasts like whales and sharks, after capturing and slaughtering them, they hollow out the insides, then draw corresponding demon patterns and wind system arrays to create them.

This type of demon sky beast is massive, its defense inherits the advantage of the thick and defensive sea beast skin, and it cannot move at will under the command of the Demon Army stationed inside it, more strategic than ordinary airships, hence its popularity among the Demon Clan.

The Second Prince of Dark Demon from the Emperor Demon Clan, his maternal clan is the rulers of the Sky Clan, thus they have a significant advantage in forging demon sky beasts.

Two hours is indeed very tight.

Yue Jinghua and the others not only need to dodge the wind caves appearing intermittently along the way but also avoid being ambushed by patrolling demon beasts. Finally, they must find a way to rescue Prince Yu Jiu from under the noses of four or five demon sky beasts; the difficulty is imaginable.

The people onboard all fell silent upon hearing this.

They were experienced mercenaries, yet they had never faced such a large-scale battle.

"Qian Luo, immediately locate the nearest demon sky beast around, the closer, the better, preferably a solitary demon sky beast," Yue Jinghua pondered briefly, then devised a plan.

"Captain, you mean?" Qian Luo asked with suspicion.

"Attack unexpectedly; the enemy’s strength is too strong. It’s challenging to break through from the outside, so why not change strategy, infiltrate into the Demon Army, preferably control a demon sky beast, then attack unexpectedly, cooperate with Helian Sheng internally and externally, and then breakthrough," Yue Jinghua, having experienced infiltrating the Dark Demon Army before, was more accustomed now.

Qian Luo immediately understood and began searching around for the nearest demon sky beast’s whereabouts with the helmsman.

After persistent effort, the mercenaries on the Titan finally discovered a medium-sized Demon Luo Luo Sky Shark about five miles away from the Titan.

"That’s the one," Yue Jinghua commanded Qian Luo to lower the Titan’s speed to the slowest, slowly hiding behind a chaotic stone hurricane.
