13 Deer Demon Lord

Cr*p!

Zhang Yang was startled.

Is this even fair?

At that moment, it was too late to retreat. Without a choice, he gnashed his teeth and sold 50 coils of Black Spider Silk, which he had intended to save to make arrows. But in the face of this emergency, he couldn't deal with the 50 or so green wolf demons without the Level 2 Protection.

"Bowmen, don't shoot. Leave all the feather arrows to the elites. Elite shield soldiers near the edge of the energy shield, take a step forward and put up your shield to absorb the impact of the green wolves using the defensive shield. Elite spearmen, stand behind your shields and get ready to pierce the demons at any time. Wu Yuan, you are the core of the support. Pay attention to the deer demon; this son of a b*tch is likely to summon other demons!"

Zhang Yang sold the spider silk coils, activated the Level 2 Protection, and gave all his orders in one breath. But surprisingly, the deer demon on the other side looked as if it had understood his commands too.

It let out a hawk's cry this time and instantly, the red feather hanging on its antlers turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.

In a few seconds, a red eagle's call reverberated in the sky and five red eagle demons were summoned.

Upon looking at this scene, Zhang Yang felt chills.

What the hell?!

With five red eagles in the sky and more than 50 green wolf demons on the ground, the Level 2 Protection wouldn't be able to hold on. It would definitely shatter!

In the nick of time, Zhang Yang calmed down and shouted, "Everyone, follow Wu Yuan and charge outside the energy shield!"

Regardless of whether Wu Yuan understood Zhang Yang's intentions or not, the former's speed was still very fast. He sprang out of the energy shield with a whoosh and landed more than 20 meters away in the blink of an eye. He flipped a green wolf demon in a single strike and swept his spear horizontally to hit three more of them. Shortly after, four elite spearmen also activated their Wind Piercing skills. They leapt more than 10 meters across the field, pouncing into the pack of green wolf demons and instantly killing four of them.

However, the other soldiers were one to two seconds slower. With this two-second delay, the five red eagles swooped down like meteors in the sky, and five wind blades whistled out when they were a dozen meters away, blasting Zhang Yang's energy shield.

In a loud bang, the shield succumbed to the attack and shattered. Right before it exploded, Zhang Yang returned inside the Tree Demon Tower. He opened his mouth wide and covered his ears, but even so, he was stunned and dazed by the shock wave.

At that moment, most of the soldiers and the five red eagles, as well as some of the green wolf demons who had already rushed to the front, were also dazed by the explosion.

Those who were unaffected were Wu Yuan, four elite spearmen, two elite shield soldiers, and the one elite bowman with the most nimble movement—Sun Goudan—whose battle mark appeared on his feet.

"Soul Breaker!"

At that critical moment, Wu Yuan perfectly comprehended Zhang Yang's intention. He roared like an explosive thunder, turned around to leap up in the air, spanning a distance of more than 30 meters and blasting one of the level 5 red eagle demons with a single thrust.

"Wind-chasing Triple-arrow Shot!"

At the same time, Sun Goudan quickly lifted his bow and fired three feather arrows that broke the sound barrier, striking down the second red eagle demon. The red eagle demon crashed to the ground and in the blink of an eye, the elite spearman seized the best opportunity and dashed forward in a trail of afterimages. He coordinated with Sun Goudan and annihilated the red eagle demon in a single strike.

But later, the remaining three red eagle demons recovered from the stun. They flapped their huge wings and three wind blades split the elite spearman into six parts from head to toe.

"Imprisonment!"

At the same time, Zhang Yang also rushed out from the Tree Demon Tower and released the imprisonment spell, trapping the third red eagle. Of course, this level 5 demon couldn't be compared to a level 15 earthbound tree demon. It didn't even get a chance to struggle before being completely captured.

Bang!

It fell from the sky and landed on the ground, before being killed by three slashes from an elite shield soldier.

The whole battle was so easy that even Zhang Yang was surprised.

But despite that, his reaction wasn't slow either. He focused his attention on the fourth red eagle demon before it had the chance to break free and soar into the sky. He released the imprisonment spell again, effortlessly dragging it down to the ground. But this time, Zhang Yang ended the imprisonment spell early, rushed forward with a reinforced spear, and stabbed at it like a lunatic!

At the same time, the elite bowman, Sun Goudan, once again fired a triple-arrow shot. However, the fifth red eagle demon had already spread its wings and glided hundreds of meters into the air, seemingly startled by Zhang Yang's imprisonment spell.

"Go to hell!"

Wu Yuan let out another explosive growl. He threw out his spear in a flash of silver light and instantly took down the final red eagle demon, hundreds of meters in the sky!

This terrifying combat power was indeed worthy of a captain's.

And even without a weapon, he was still able to kill and seriously injure several pouncing green wolf demons with his bare hands. He maintained the situation at the most critical juncture until Zhang Yang stabbed the red eagle demon to death and activated the Level 2 Protection again.

In just a few seconds, Zhang Yang's men showed their powerful strength. Even he was surprised by the level of combat power displayed by his men. Five of the toughest red eagle demons were completely destroyed in the blink of an eye and yet, only four ordinary soldiers and one elite soldier were sacrificed during the battle.

That was the end of the battle. Zhang Yang reactivated the Level 2 Protection, and the stunned soldiers also crawled to their feet. The scales of killing immediately tipped over.

The deer demon 100 meters away seemed astonished by the results. There was some hesitation in its gaze, but they soon turned into extreme viciousness as it stared at Zhang Yang with a deadly gaze, apparently deciding that he was a huge threat that had to be removed early.

Immediately after, it lifted its huge hooves, stomped the ground, and let out the bellow of a bison this time.

The bison horns hanging from the deer demon's antlers puffed into a black smoke. In less than 10 seconds, the earth trembled. Twelve bison wildly dashed out of the woods from the left side!

At the same time, the deer demon was as though having a spasm as it spun non-stop in the same place and constantly ate the variety of wild fruits, mushrooms, flowers, weeds, and so on, on its antlers.

This fella is definitely about to unleash its signature attack!

Zhang Yang had been observing the deer demon. Judging from the battle, he knew that the deer demon had been driven into desperation. He had Wu Yuan—a surprisingly-powerful captain spearman10 elite spearmen, and 19 ordinary soldiers. He also activated the Level 2 Protection. In that case, be it 50 level 1 green wolf demons or 12 level 3 bison, they weren't an issue.

The real threat was still that deer demon. That fella had hundreds of antler tynes with countless bits and pieces hanging from them. This meant that it possessed all sorts of bizarre tricks.

Will I be able to counter every move if I remain passive?

"Wu Yuan, you command the battle. No matter what, we can't let the bison herd break through the energy shield. I'll deal with that deer demon!" Zhang Yang said, ordering the 10 ordinary soldiers to stop fighting and lean their backs against the Tree Demon Tower. He also used the Village Building Order to boost their firepower. As long as the energy shield didn't explode again, they would basically have no problem. It would only take five minutes for them to become a new living force.

Soon after, Zhang Yang found a position and unleashed an imprisonment spell on the deer demon in the distance.

But this time, his soul threads flew over and failed the moment they grazed its soul. The imprisonment spell turned into a mental shock that made the deer demon stumble, but it did very little damage.

Cr*p!

Zhang Yang was bewildered.

What is up with this deer demon? It has an even more powerful soul strength than mine?
