My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 212: Someone Wants to Race
No matter how many events the advancing army triggered, they were quickly submerged in the charge of the Ancient Forest army, even managing to recruit some new members along the way.
Demon Dragon Bay is indeed the territory of the Leopard Race, but some other races of demons also live there.
It goes without saying that these foreign races hold a lower status compared to the Leopard Race. Although these demons didn't understand why the mud-legged troops of the Ancient Forest suddenly revolted, they joined in the chaos upon seeing the overwhelming momentum.
After all, those who didn't join are already lying underground.
"Something's not right."
Charging forward, Li Bailang voiced a doubt, "Why are we always moving in an S-shape? Aren't we looking right at the Leopard King's tower?"
In the Ancient Forest, the Demon Race live in simple huts, some sleep on trees and in caves, but beyond the mountain gate guarded by Zhi Er, the accommodations become much more comfortable and luxurious. The Demon Race had captured Human Race craftsmen to build many houses but only allowed them to live in the Ancient Forest.
As the leader of the Leopard Race, Leopard Jie's residence was a five-story tower. Some craftsmen hinted that such a tower wasn't meant for living, but the Leopard King didn't listen and even ordered the craftsmen to be executed, so no one dared to mention it again, though they privately called him a country bumpkin.
Gazing at the tower sticking out among the mountains, Li Rui answered, "Try to explore every place, trigger all the random events, and then fight the boss."
"That makes sense,"
An Qing said, "but how do you know there will definitely be random events?"
"It's a gamble," Li Rui said, "Come, come, don't scatter, let's check this way."
He had now assumed the role of a tour guide.
As they advanced to the middle of Demon Dragon Bay, the impressive momentum had already reached the tower, and in the distance, a large cat figure could be seen crawling out from the top floor, twisting like a worm to the top, watching from afar.
Just one look, and Li Rui sensed that this creature was a level higher in power than the outside King Zhi.
"He's spotted us!"
Wu Bing's intuition was also strong.
"Prepare for battle!"
Li Rui called Zhi Yan, who had a loud voice, to pass on the command.
Having the experience of killing King Zhi, the morale of the main force was more stable than before.
After all, in the mountains, the five kings were each an insurmountable presence. As long as there wasn't an irreconcilable feud, not many wanted to seek trouble.
But now things were different. Since King Zhi could be killed, why couldn't the other kings?
So when the force marched to the tower and saw the neatly arrayed Leopard Race elite, they didn't immediately think of fleeing.
The Demon Race entrenched in the valley were like bandits and robbers, yet they enjoyed imitating the Liangting border troops, assembling a group of elites to form a battle formation, armored and spear-wielding, prepared and waiting.

[Mission Objective: Kill Leopard Jie.]

In this Secret Realm, apart from the gatekeeper King Zhi on the main storyline, the other bosses were theoretically on side missions, which were theoretically optional. Still, to successfully clear the stage, no one skipped them. Even Guan Gui took them down one by one back then.
Li Rui felt that if he carried the general's daughter and activated the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, he might just run out. But he wanted the experience from all the side missions, so he wouldn't skip them.
He glanced at the task log and saw that the countdown for the Leopard King had stopped, with the next King Hui having more than two hours left, leaving no hurry.
He didn't dare to leave the newly recruited Demon Dragon Bay members behind, so he placed them at the front line.
"Perform well, kill one enemy and become a small leader, kill three and be a head leader, kill the most and become the new king of Demon Dragon Bay, enjoying half of the Leopard King's demon core alone!"
Upon hearing this, all the demons were eager to try, not a single one questioning why they should listen to an outsider from the Human Race.
When the battle cry sounded and the charge began, even the Leopard King on the opposite side was shocked.
"These good-for-nothings, where did they get such momentum from?"
That was natural; during usual charges, he wouldn't share the demon core he painstakingly cultivated.
But soon, he had no time to ponder these as he realized the mud-legged opponents were proactively launching an offensive.
"Kill them all."
Leopard Jie ordered mercilessly, people can be recaptured if killed, wild demons can be persuaded if slain.
Although this would gravely wound the vitality of Demon Dragon Valley, failing to destroy the enemy would never satisfy his wrath.
He also had a temper but, unlike Zhi Er, wouldn't vent wantonly, only when facing today's situation would he unleash his inner restraint.
Leopard Jie was weaponless, his usual method involved his sharp claws, transforming like a Wolverine.
As he was about to charge and cause a bloodbath, he saw three figures coming from the front.
"Humans?"
He sneered with disdain, quickly selecting a target, disappearing in an instant.
Clang!!!
Claws and steel blades clashed.
His chosen target was Li Bailang, who, like him, was adept at speed, and an advanced martial arts master.
Both sides struck and retreated simultaneously, without staying in place.
"Fast, indeed."
Leopard Jie thought contemptuously, his golden eyes swiveling to quickly lock onto the enemy, propelling forward with a kick off the ground.
Clang, clang, clang!
The two exchanged at least a dozen moves in an instant, sparks flying, dazzling onlookers.
Leopard Jie grew increasingly valiant as Lei Bailang quietly lamented.
The ten-star Secret Realm was indeed hellish; at his martial arts master level, he was no match. Without An Qing's buff support, he might have already been defeated.
Feeling immense pressure, he had to retreat, believing Li Rui could undoubtedly assist him.
So, after once more cleaving off an oncoming claw attack, he turned to dash back.
At this sight, a sinister killing intent flickered through Leopard Jie's mind, his mouth curling involuntarily.
A leopard demon in cultivation, through the Secret Realm agent's worldview, fell within the feline category, specializing in back attacks.
He used tight-knit offense to press, forcing the enemy to expose their back.
Now, the moment had come.
His Blood Fang Pursuit Skill enabled him to acutely track the enemy's position during high-speed motion, with yet another velocity boost upon activation.
Li Bailang's retreating figure was drawing closer in Leopard Jie's eyes, seemingly seeing three blood holes blossom in the opponent's back, his favorite part of the hunt.
But just as he was a body's length from catching up, he sensed something awry, as if a dangerous predator was eyeing him, a sensation only felt when the Great King was displeased.
Controlling his left eyeball to slightly deflect, he saw someone beside him catching up, their speed mirroring his, and the relative stillness allowed even a glimpse of the person's eager gaze.
Along with the golden lightning on that Big Black Umbrella.
