The Reverse Sky Devil Dragon race reproduces extremely slowly, with only one chance to give birth every hundred years, and only one offspring at a time. Perhaps because they are part of the demon race, the way these black dragons reproduce is completely different from other dragons. They are not oviparous but viviparous, which is one of the main reasons why Reverse Sky Devil Dragons are extremely powerful from the moment they are born. Each time, a Reverse Sky Devil Dragon can only give birth to one offspring. Twins are a rare occurrence, perhaps only once in a thousand years.

The strength of these black dragons can be directly determined by their size. Those under twenty meters in length are collectively referred to as the juvenile stage, between twenty and fifty meters is the adult stage, which is around the eighth rank. And those over fifty meters are the Devil Dragon Emperor’s personal guards. Among them, the Devil Dragon Emperor Feng Xiu has twelve demon kings under his command, whose bodies can reach over eighty meters. It is said that their spiritual power is over 300,000. This shows how powerful the Reverse Sky Devil Dragon race is.

The Demise of the Demon God would not be possible if it weren’t for many powerful pieces of equipment. With sheer strength alone, it would be impossible to threaten the Devil Dragon Emperor.

And at this moment, the massive figure appearing in the sky was over fifty meters long. After that dragon’s roar attracted everyone’s attention, a faint dark purple aura burst out from its body.

There was no terrifying pressure, but the moment this massive body suddenly appeared above the carriage and spread its wings, the demon army’s mental defenses finally collapsed.

Facing this terrifying black dragon, clearly at the level of the Demon God Emperor’s Black Dragon personal guard, the demon forces from the Naric Province who were participating in the demon army instantly crumbled, scattering and fleeing in panic.

In the minds of demons, even the most powerful human experts might not inspire fear, but the presence of the creature at the top of their food chain would cause unparalleled panic.

This panic was impossible to suppress, stemming from the most primal fear within their blood. Under the stunned gaze of Leng Xiao, Yue Ye, and everyone except Long Haochen and Chen Ying’er, the insurmountable barrier that had stood before them disappeared.

“Accelerate!” Long Haochen shouted, and Haoyue beneath him suddenly sped up, charging ahead with Li Xin’s Rose Unicorn.

Leng Xiao almost instinctively urged the Iron Mane Horse with all her strength, pulling the carriage with the solidified levitation spell and rapidly advancing under Long Haochen’s lead.

The huge black dragon in the sky was their true vanguard, and wherever it passed, the demon army crumbled, with no demon daring to launch an attack against it.

Yue Ye weakly whispered to Leng Xiao beside her, “Your guardian?”

Leng Xiao shook her head in a daze, “I snuck out this time, where would I get a guardian? That, that seems to be fake, it doesn’t have the aura of my people!”

“Fake?” Yue Ye was stunned, but with her intelligence, she immediately connected it to Long Haochen’s earlier call to Chen Ying’er. Looking at the young knight riding on the back of the Three-Headed Haoyue in front, her gaze became even more迷惘. Who exactly is he? Is what I’m seeing really his actual age?

At full speed, ten minutes was enough to cover nearly ten miles.

The demon army had been left far behind, and at this point, even if they wanted to pursue, they probably wouldn’t be able to catch up.

The black dragon that had been dominating the field with its near-invincible presence suddenly disappeared without warning. At the same time, the specks of silver light in Chen Ying’er’s eyes within the carriage also vanished.

The Mirror Treasure Divine Pig lazily appeared in Chen Ying’er’s arms. It seemed extremely tired, closed its eyes, and soon began to snore. However, on its soft skin, a faint silver light gradually spread, causing the aura on its body to undergo a certain change.

The way the Mirror Treasure Divine Pig advances is different from other demonic beasts. It won’t evolve simply by using magic crystals. It can only store some energy within its body. Only when it absorbs the enemy’s fear through mimicry will it promote the conversion of this energy for its own use. This is a very complex evolutionary process. But clearly, what had just happened was the driving force for its evolution. As for how long it would take to complete the advancement, it was hard to say.

Chen Ying’er also seemed somewhat tired, and directly sat cross-legged inside the carriage to recover her spiritual power.

Everyone’s gaze towards her changed. That black dragon was something they had personally witnessed being formed, created by that seemingly harmless little pig.

The Knight Grade Four Demon Hunt Squad had originally thought the female summoner was useless, but she had turned out to be such a powerful existence, and the last shred of their sense of superiority vanished.

The Mirror Treasure Divine Pig can mimic any demonic beast it has ever seen, only needing to consume its own spiritual power. It had just used its mimicry ability, not mirrored replication. In this case, the flaws are actually quite large, it doesn’t have any black dragon aura on its body. This black dragon was something it had seen at the city walls of the Exorcist Pass when the Demon God Emperor appeared.

However, the demon army of Naric Province had already been terrified by the previous forbidden spell. These startled birds, upon suddenly seeing a creature near the top of the food chain, how could their psychological defenses not collapse? How could they remain calm enough to sense the black dragon aura? How many of them had ever sensed the true aura of a black dragon?

However, even just mimicking the appearance of the black dragon consumed a huge amount of spiritual power. A rank five magic crystal was used up. This was the energy the Mirror Treasure Divine Pig had to replenish, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to make the illusion so huge. That was a ninth-rank black dragon!

Others may have seen Chen Ying’er’s summoned beast’s powerful abilities, but a few discerning people saw Long Haochen’s foresight in laying out the plan.

之前在守護馬車時，哪怕是最艱難的時刻，他都沒有讓陳櫻兒出手，如果那時黑龍出現的話，一定能夠爭取到不少時間，儘管會被識破，但相對來說，在車頂守護時就會容易的多。
Previously, when guarding the carriage, even in the most difficult moments, he didn’t let Chen Ying’er take action. If the black dragon had appeared then, it would have bought a lot of time, even if it would have been exposed. Relatively speaking, guarding the carriage would have been much easier.

但是，如果陳櫻兒真的在那時候出手了，現在他們還能從容的衝出重圍麼？幻像這種能力，往往只有第一次使用的時候效果最大，最不容易被識破。在同樣的對手面前多次使用，那隻能是笑話而已。
But, if Chen Ying’er had really taken action then, would they have been able to break out of the encirclement so easily now? The illusion ability often has the greatest effect when used for the first time, and is the least likely to be exposed. Using it multiple times against the same opponents would just be a joke.

最後深深的看了一眼前方的龍皓晨，月夜緩緩軟倒在冷筱懷裡，陷入了昏迷之中。
Finally, Yue Ye took a deep look at Long Haochen in front and slowly slumped into Leng Xiao’s arms, falling into a coma.

毫不停留的一路疾行，整整兩個時辰沒有停下來。危險並未解除，在龍皓晨的帶領下，他們只是認准一個方向狂奔。以鐵鬃馬的耐力，在持續狂奔兩個時辰後，速度也明顯降低了下來。
They continued to rush forward without stopping, for a full two hours. The danger had not been lifted, and under Long Haochen’s lead, they just ran wildly in one direction. With the stamina of the Iron Mane Horses, their speed noticeably decreased after running continuously for two hours.

馬車內，每個人都在抓緊時間休息，危險是否真的已經遠離誰也不清楚。
Inside the carriage, everyone was seizing the time to rest, and no one was sure if the danger had really passed.

陸熙不時將一個個恢復魔法釋放在龍皓晨、李馨以及他們的坐騎身上。現在顯然還不是休息的時間。
Lu Xi was constantly casting recovery spells on Long Haochen, Li Xin, and their mounts. It was clearly not time to rest yet.

終於，在看到一片面積不小的森林時，龍皓晨讓皓月降低了速度，帶著馬車鑽了進去。
Finally, upon seeing a forest of considerable size, Long Haochen told Haoyue to slow down and led the carriage into it.

皓月止住腳步，後面傳來粗重呼吸聲的鐵鬃馬也紛紛停下，冷筱的體力雖然很好，但在經過一場大戰又持續逃亡之後，也是疲倦欲死，倚靠在身後的車廂上微微喘息著。
Haoyue stopped, and the Iron Mane Horses behind, breathing heavily, also stopped. Although Leng Xiao’s stamina was good, she was exhausted and leaning against the back of the carriage, panting slightly, after a great battle and continuous flight.

“原地休息，一個時辰後，我們繼續上路，大家可以吃點東西。”月夜昏迷，他已經儼然成為了現在所有人的指揮者。
“Rest here, we’ll continue on our way after an hour. Everyone can eat something.” Yue Ye was unconscious, and he had become the de facto commander of everyone.

根本不需要龍皓晨吩咐，將級二十一號和士級四號兩個獵魔團的成員們已經紛紛下了馬車，聚攏到龍皓晨身邊。
Without Long Haochen even needing to order it, the members of the Knight Grade Twenty-First and Soldier Grade Fourth Demon Hunt Squads had already gotten out of the carriage and gathered around Long Haochen.

龍皓晨目光從他們身上掃過，“大家恢復的怎麼樣？”
Long Haochen’s gaze swept over them, “How is everyone recovering?”

眾人紛紛向他點了點頭，馬車內雖然有些擁擠，但卻十分平穩，兩個時辰的趕路令馬車內的眾人都得到了充分休息。之前的戰鬥中他們也沒有面對強敵，多是輕傷，有陸熙和韓羽的治療，已經恢復的差不多了。
Everyone nodded at him. Although the carriage was a bit crowded, it was very stable, and the two hours of travel allowed everyone inside the carriage to get plenty of rest. They hadn’t faced strong enemies in the previous battle, and mostly suffered minor injuries. With the treatment of Lu Xi and Han Yu, they had recovered almost completely.

龍皓晨將目光落在典煙身上，看著他眼中的悲戚，低聲道：“節哀。”
Long Haochen turned his gaze to Dian Yan, looked at the grief in his eyes, and said softly, “My condolences.”

典煙的叔叔典玄作為商隊護衛長，毫無疑問被魔族大軍淹沒了。在那被重重圍困的時刻，誰也沒有能力去救下他。
Dian Yan’s uncle, Dian Xuan, as the caravan’s chief guard, was undoubtedly drowned by the demon army. At that moment of being heavily besieged, no one had the ability to save him.

典煙沒有吭聲，只是低著頭，眼底充滿了恨意和一些晶瑩的東西。
Dian Yan didn’t say anything, just lowered his head, his eyes filled with hatred and some glistening things.

司馬仙就站在他身邊，抬起大手在他肩膀上拍了拍，濃濃的仇恨氣息幾乎是瞬間就在兩個獵魔團之中升起。在他們之中，有太多人的親人死於魔族的戰爭之中。
Sima Xian stood next to him, raised his large hand and patted him on the shoulder. An intense atmosphere of hatred rose almost instantly within the two demon hunt squads. Among them, too many people had family members who died in the demons’ war.

“龍團長，你怎麼樣？之前的戰鬥你透支的太厲害，恐怕短時間內無法恢復吧。”陸熙有些擔憂的向龍皓晨問道。
“Team Leader Long, how are you? You overexerted yourself too much in the previous battle, I’m afraid you won’t be able to recover in a short period of time,” Lu Xi asked Long Haochen with some concern.

龍皓晨微微一笑，道：“還能堅持，多謝陸團長的治療。”
Long Haochen smiled slightly and said, “I can still hold on, thank you for Team Leader Lu’s treatment.”

陸熙輕輕的搖了搖頭，道：“別再叫我團長了，從現在開始，只有一個團隊，就是你們將級二十一號，我們願為附庸。我剛才與夥伴們已經商量過了。這次任務，我們放棄一切收益以及借給你們的功勳。”
Lu Xi shook her head gently and said, “Don’t call me Team Leader anymore. From now on, there is only one team, your Knight Grade Twenty-First. We are willing to be vassals. I have already discussed it with my partners. For this mission, we give up all benefits and the merits we lent you.”

龍皓晨一愣，“陸團長，你……”
Long Haochen was stunned, “Team Leader Lu, you…”

陸熙苦笑道：“你再叫我團長，我們都沒臉再留下來了。跟隨游離商人進入魔族領地是我們提出來的主意，卻帶給了整個團隊如此之大的危機。這份責任我們不會逃避。龍團長的指揮能力和個人實力我們都看在眼裡，這次能跟你們一同執行任務，就算是為我們增長經驗吧，還怎敢奢求任何所得呢？”
Lu Xi smiled bitterly and said, “If you call me Team Leader again, we won’t have the face to stay. It was our idea to follow the wandering merchants into the demons’ territory, but it brought such a big crisis to the entire team. We will not evade this responsibility. We have seen Team Leader Long’s command ability and personal strength. Being able to carry out this mission with you this time is just to increase our experience, how dare we ask for anything in return?”

一場大戰，讓陸熙以及士級四號獵魔團的成員們感受太深刻了。或許，士級一號獵魔團之中的其他人他們自問還能相比，可是，龍皓晨這個團長卻是他們每個人心中都無比敬佩的——
The great battle left a deep impression on Lu Xi and the members of the Soldier Grade Fourth Demon Hunt Squad. Perhaps, they felt they could still compare to the other members of the Soldier Grade First Demon Hunt Squad, but they all admired Long Haochen, the team leader, from the bottom of their hearts.
