Chapter 187 Ye Chen's Treachery
Amidst the tumultuous events unfolding, the indomitable Butterfly Spirit Queen led her loyal beast comrades with unwavering determination towards the seal.
Her heart burned with a fierce desire to rescue her fellow beasts in Ye Chen's team, who were completely unaware that they were heading into a trap.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen's team pressed forward, their urgency palpable as they closed in on the seal's location. The air crackled with anticipation, a sense of imminent danger hanging heavy in their minds.
A brilliant flash streaked across the sky, briefly illuminating the scene above Ye Chen's head. Though it caught his attention for a fleeting moment, the urgency of their mission propelled him to dismiss it and forge ahead undeterred.
After what seemed like an eternity, the team finally reached the seal's vicinity.
Before them sprawled a disheartening tableau—a throng of demons encircling a massive pit, within which the precious Elemental Sparks lay sealed.
The sight was both awe-inspiring and ominous, a testament to the forces they were up against.
Undeterred by the formidable presence of the demon horde, Ye Chen's team exhibited unwavering resolve. They did not falter, nor did they allow fear to consume them.
In a display of raw power and primal instinct, two of their most formidable beasts, the mighty Ironhide Rhino and the Thundering Tusk, invoked their charge technique. With muscles rippling and determination etched across their powerful forms, they set their sights on the contingent of demons blocking their path.
Ye Chen's commanding voice echoed through the chaos, infused with an unwavering conviction, "Ironhide Rhino! Thundering Tusk! Unleash your fury upon them! Clear our path!"
In response, the Ironhide Rhino lowered its massive head, the sharp tip of its horn gleaming with untamed energy.
With a resounding bellow that shook the ground beneath them, it charged forward, its immense strength propelling it like an unstoppable force of nature.
The Thundering Tusk, not to be outdone, matched the Rhino's fervor. Its colossal tusks glinted in the pale light, a testament to its raw power.
With a primal roar that echoed through the battlefield, it surged forward, thundering through the enemy ranks with an indomitable resolve.
The clash was fierce, a symphony of brute force and primal rage.
The Ironhide Rhino's horn gored through demon flesh, while the Thundering Tusk's tusks tore through their ranks with savage precision.
With each thunderous impact, the ground trembled, and the air crackled with the energy of a battle unleashed.
Ye Chen watched with a mixture of pride and concern, his eyes scanning the chaotic scene.
Embracing their inherent bloodline skills, the other formidable beasts of Ye Chen's team sprang into action, each engaging in a fierce battle against the encroaching horde of demons. Their primal instincts surged within them, fueling their every move and lending them an unmatched ferocity.
The ground trembled beneath the weight of their colossal forms as they unleashed their bloodline abilities, a mesmerizing display of power and dominance. The air crackled with the release of their innate energy, each beast channeling their unique skills with deadly precision.
As the battle raged on, the scales of momentum seemed to tip in favor of Ye Chen's team. However, their triumph was short-lived, for with a menacing swiftness, reinforcements from the demon ranks poured onto the battlefield from all sides. The once manageable skirmish quickly escalated into a full-blown clash of titanic proportions.
The newly arrived demons were no ordinary foot soldiers. They were battle-hardened veterans, wielding dark and forbidden techniques that sent chills down the spines of even the bravest warriors. Their presence infused the air with an oppressive aura, signaling the arrival of a formidable adversary.
With ruthless precision, the demons unleashed their killing techniques, launching a devastating onslaught upon the valiant beasts of Ye Chen's team. Waves of wicked claws, serrated fangs, and dark energy swirled through the chaotic fray, leaving behind a trail of fallen comrades in their wake. The once triumphant roars of the beasts were drowned out by anguished cries, their defiant spirit momentarily stifled by the overwhelming power of the enemy.
Ye Chen's heart sank as he surveyed the grim scene. His initial plan of having his comrades withdraw became an urgent necessity, for to remain any longer would risk the annihilation of their forces. However, just as he was about to issue the retreat command, his eyes widened in disbelief.
A vibrant and ominous purple inscription materialized beneath their very feet, etching itself onto the once-untouched land. Its twisted patterns seemed to pulse with otherworldly energy, casting an eerie glow upon the battlefield. It was a demonic array, a symbol of the enemy's sinister design and an ominous portent of impending doom.
As the weight of the situation pressed upon him, a burst of derisive laughter erupted from the ranks of the demons. The sound pierced through the chaos, carrying with it a twisted satisfaction and a hint of malicious delight. It was the voice of the Demon King, a formidable leader among the demonic horde that encircled the seal. Though not hailing from the Oceanic Tempest Storm Devil Clan, his strength was undeniable, casting an ominous shadow over the battlefield.
The words spilled from the Demon King's lips, laced with a sinister tone. "We owe you our gratitude, human, for leading these beasts straight into this trap. The alliance with you has proven to be quite fruitful indeed. Hehehe..."
The beasts, startled and bewildered, turned their gaze towards Ye Chen, seeking answers amidst the chaos. Their expressions bore a mix of confusion and accusation, their loyalty and trust hanging by a thread.
"What does he mean?" they questioned, their voices tinged with disbelief.
Ye Chen stood among them, his face mirroring their bewilderment. He shook his head in genuine perplexity, his voice laced with a tinge of frustration. "I do not know," he admitted, his words dripping with sincerity.
Meanwhile, the Demon King reveled in his revelation, his voice dripping with malevolence. "How much longer are you going to pretend? I think it's time you tell them the truth that you were colluding with us the whole time. After all, it would have been an impossible task to gather all these beasts within our Demonic Killing Array. Yet, thanks to your assistance, human, it has become a reality. Hahahaha..."
The echoes of the Demon King's laughter filled the air, a vile symphony that resonated deep within the hearts of the beasts. Their expressions twisted into a mixture of anger, betrayal, and disbelief.
The tense atmosphere grew suffocating, each beast's mind racing to make sense of this shocking revelation. And soon, the seeds of doubt took root, leading most of them to a damning conclusion.
Ye Chen, their once trusted ally, had been colluding with the demons all along. The realization struck like a thunderbolt, igniting a furious storm within the hearts of the beasts.
Driven by their volatile nature, the beasts near Ye Chen lunged forward, their fangs bared, and claws unsheathed. Their betrayal could not be tolerated, and their fury knew no bounds.
The air crackled with hostility as their once-united forces turned into a chaotic maelstrom of violence, seeking to exact their vengeance upon the one who had betrayed their trust.
With lightning-quick reflexes, Ye Chen evaded the onslaught of enraged beasts, their attacks fueled by a sense of betrayal and fury. Each dodge and parry only deepened their conviction that Ye Chen had aligned himself with the demons, their skepticism intensifying with each passing moment.
To their astonishment, as Ye Chen found himself surrounded by a horde of demons, not a single one moved to strike him. Their collective inaction served as a damning confirmation in the eyes of the beasts, solidifying their belief that Ye Chen was indeed colluding with their sworn enemies.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen stood amidst the chaos, his mind reeling from the unexpected turn of events. He couldn't comprehend the reasons behind the demons' accusation, nor did he possess any recollection of ever conspiring with them. Perplexity clouded his thoughts as he struggled to grasp the motives that could drive the demons to weave such a web of deceit.
As the tension mounted, the darkened sky above them served as an ominous backdrop to the unfolding drama. Sinister black clouds amassed, their presence foreboding and suffocating. A torrent of purple lightning arced through the heavens, striking the ground with unerring accuracy. The beasts, caught in the crosshairs of this relentless assault, were subjected to bolts of electrifying energy that danced with malicious intent.
Amidst the chaos, it became evident that these bolts of purple lightning were not the product of mere chance. Their precision and timing suggested a malevolent puppeteer controlling their every strike. It was as if someone had harnessed the power of the array to single out and target the marked enemies with ruthless efficiency.
As the fierce battle raged on, the beleaguered beasts found themselves dwindling in numbers with each passing moment. The relentless onslaught of demons had taken its toll, and hope seemed to slip through their grasping claws.
Amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged in the form of the Shadowfang Panther. With a burst of agility and determination, he managed to break free from the clutches of the deadly killing array. It was not an act of abandonment or surrender, but rather a strategic maneuver to safeguard the trust of his fellow beast comrades.
Knowing the perilous consequences that awaited the Butterfly Spirit Queen if she were deceived by Ye Chen's apparent betrayal once again, the Shadowfang Panther resolved to inform her of the truth. He understood the gravity of the situation and recognized that the consequences of misplaced trust could be nothing short of tragic.
Leaping through the fray, the Shadowfang Panther embarked on a perilous journey, navigating through the chaotic battlefield with stealth and precision. His mission was clear: to reach the Butterfly Spirit Queen and expose Ye Chen's treachery.
