If these demons hadn’t kept their beast forms, many would’ve thought that humans still ruled the area. In mere moments, they drew close to the group of tied-up humans. Now that they were closer, the two were able to recognize them. They were, in fact, the people who stayed at the Death Inn. There were quite a lot of them, eighteen to be exact. However, these people looked pathetic. They were all decorated with colored ribbons, and some had even lost their limbs.
These people were just different animals to those demons, just like how humans treated pigs as livestock. The roles had merely reversed here. More importantly, they lacked the strength to defend themselves.
Smack!
Slapped by a demon, a young teen tumbled over. After that, the demon punched and kicked him. “What the hell? Who gave you permission to pee where ever you want? Do you think this is the toilet? Get up and lick the floor clean, or we will eat you right now!”
The teen was devastated. At this point, he had lost all hope and wanted to die a swift death.
With a loud yell, he lunged towards that demon, hoping to take it down with him. However, it was all just wishful thinking. The young teen’s cultivation level was far weaker than these demons, and he was immediately subdued.
The teen lay on the ground, filled with despair.
It was then that he noticed Alex and Maximilia standing on the roof, hiding in the dark. She signaled to him not to expose their location and that they would think of a way to save them.
Unexpectedly, that teen started screaming. “Look! Humans! There are humans up there! ”
‘What?’ The two were confused.
‘Has this guy lost it?’
Whoosh!
Just then, a demon crawled out of the ground. Alex seemed exhilarated to see it. “It’s the golden phoenix scorpion!”
They were here for the scorpion, so it was unexpected that it showed up on its own.
Maximilia said, “We can’t fight here. Let’s just lead it away.”
Alex thought about a place where the strategist had set a formation up in the past and immediately told Maximilia to go there.
