There are sounds of combat and alarmed shouts.
And a demon, with a human face, white eyes, a pair of flesh wings on its back, and an unusually long neck, is sitting atop a demon skull, watching the passage and occasionally letting out a creepy "gaga" laugh.
Chen Yuan stops on a peak a few miles away, his eyes flickering with golden light.
Just what could be beyond the expanded passage to provoke such strange laughter from the demon.
After pondering for a moment, he finds the realm of the strange demon comparable to his own and decides to forcefully charge through for a reconnaissance.
Just as he is about to make his move, his brow lifts, and his aura conceals itself,
Only to see in the high sky, three grotesque birds, each seven or eight zhang in size, flying in.
With human faces, a pair of white pupils, sharp ears on both sides, and a pair of wings on their backs, they appear to belong to the same clan as the human-bodied demon within the beam of light.
