After the two giant claw demons were killed, the sharp-toothed bats gradually regained their mobility. The mercenaries hurriedly dragged their injured companions and continued to move deeper into the cave. Finally, they found a gap to avoid the attack of the bat group.
"How are the wounded?"
Meng Hu helped the mercenary bandage his wounds and said, "No one is worried about their lives!"
Oscar breathed a sigh of relief. The situation just now was really dangerous. A group of sharp-toothed bats, a dozen sharp-clawed demons, and two giant clawed demons. If you are not careful, there is definitely a danger of annihilation!
Oscar was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Oscar frowned and said, "The bat group, the clawed demons, and the giant clawed demons, the timing of their appearance is too coincidental!"
The mercenary recalled that it was indeed true. If Oscar had not used magic to stop the sharp-toothed bats, everyone would be in danger. These monsters appeared at the same time, and attacked from the front and back, which was a bit abnormal.
"Could it be... these monsters are controlled by someone?"
Qin Yue couldn't believe it: "It's impossible, who can control so many monsters, there are two giant claw demons here, they are level 2 demons!"
To be able to control hundreds of sharp-toothed bats, plus a group of sharp-clawed demons, the magic power must at least reach the level of a 40-ring master magician, or even exceed the level of a master magician.
There are only a handful of warlocks of this strength in the Baicheng area, and only Weng Lianhai, the chairman of the Warlock Guild, can do it.
And the magic to control the demons is the legendary demon magic!
Dark magic is derived from the demon magic of the human race, but in later generations, demons on the mainland are very rare, and Oscar doesn't know the magic to control demons!
Now we can't sit and wait for death. The lives of other people are unknown, and the retreat is full of sharp-toothed bats. It's not easy to get through. We can only move forward and investigate the matter first.
Oscar had about half of his mana remaining. When he rested, he added a few [Illumination] spells and constructed a 12-ring [Light Flash]. This is a level 1 light spell with very limited lethality, but it can instantly cause a strong flash of light, causing temporary blindness.
This has special effects on dark creatures. If Oscar had prepared this spell when dealing with the Claw Demon just now, a [Light Flash] would have burned the Claw Demon's eyes for at least 10 seconds, making it lose its ability to attack, and the Giant Claw Demon would also be greatly affected.
"Let's continue to move forward." Oscar untied the talisman bag, took out a dozen talismans from it, and handed them to Qin Yue and the two warlocks, "Try to save spells and construct more defensive spells to protect yourself. These talismans are all level 1 light energy spells [Light Arrow Spells], with a range of about 50 meters, which have special effects on demons."
"Light energy spells?"
The eyes of the two mercenary warlocks lit up.
Oscar removed the shells from the magazine and took out spare bullets as thick as fingers to load them. It was not safe here. The longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be. Everyone set out again.
Meng Hu, carrying a heavy gun and axe, was the first to come out of the gap.
"Safe!"
Everyone walked out one by one.
Oscar said to Qin Yue: "Come behind me. If there is any movement, use defensive spells to protect yourself immediately."
Qin Yue knew that Oscar was worried about her and nodded. She was the one with the least practical experience here. Although she performed well just now, she still had to be careful.
"Let's go!"
The illumination light ball was pushed slowly, and the light illuminated the situation in the cave. The further inward, the more turbid the air became. This environment could not be stayed for a long time. If there was no result, it was time to consider temporarily retreating.
A lot of blood appeared in front.
Two bloody figures were lying on the ground, and they had been bitten into a bloody mess, almost unrecognizable. Several clawed demons and a few sharp-toothed bats were still eating.
Meng Hu led the mercenaries to rush forward, dealt with the bats and clawed demons, and then checked the bodies. Although the flesh and blood were blurred, the identities could still be identified from the costumes. This was another mercenary and a knight.
Four people died in the cave, leaving only Wei Nan missing.

Meng Hu was very confused: "Although Wei Nan is of a high level, he is just a magician. Without the close protection of a warrior, how could he survive?"
Oscar did not speak. He found a sharp rock spike on the rock wall, with blood stains on the sharp edge. He compared the marks on the neck of the corpse on the ground and immediately made a judgment.
"This person was killed by the rock spike!"
"What do you mean?"
Oscar looked at the others and said, "It means that this person was killed by human magic, not demons!"
Qin Yue wanted to understand something. She looked at Oscar and found it difficult to accept this fact, "You mean, the mayor..."
Why did Wei Nan do this?
In order to find the answer, several people had to continue moving forward. When they walked out of a narrow passage, they appeared in a fairly wide space.
Shocking!
The ground was full of bones!
This is simply a huge tomb!
Most of them are villagers, and there are also adventurers. There are only dozens of missing people in Musk Ox Village, but here there are at least more than 200 remains.
About 40 or 50 meters away, in the middle of countless remains, there is a 5-meter-high platform, which is an altar.
A figure stood on the altar-Wei Nan!
"Mayor!"
"You..."
Wei Nan did not look kind as usual. At this moment, his face was full of black air, and his bloodshot eyes were full of madness and evil.
"I didn't expect that there are so many left!" Wei Nan saw several people coming out and said coldly, "Those beasts are really useless!"
Meng Hu showed anger: "We were attacked, and it was you who did it. Why did you do this!"
Qin Yue was also stunned. She always thought that the mayor was a good person.
Oscar looked at the altar for a while before saying, "This is a demon altar. Are you worshipping a high-level demon?
No wonder you have made great progress in just a few years, from an apprentice to a magician! I thought you had a special adventure, but it turned out that the demon gave you power!"
In this era, demons are everywhere.
There are some powerful and intelligent demons who are particularly good at bewitching people and using humans to do things for them. Demons have some special abilities, among which power is the most common means for demons to seduce humans.
Oscar should have thought of it earlier.
The first person to disappear in Musk Ox Village was a healer, and then an apprentice. At first, the victims were all magicians, and this demon targeted the magicians.
However, Oscar came from an era without demons, and he didn't think of this for a while. However, he did not think that Wei Nan was actually a subordinate of a demon.
It was no coincidence that he met the businessman at the dinner that day.
This was Wei Nan's conspiracy. The news of the demon cave must have been deliberately leaked!
Facing the angry crowd, Wei Nan laughed out loud: "You must be surprised! Oscar, you guessed right, your knowledge is too tempting, so I have to take the risk to set up this game!
As long as I offer you to the master and hold the stripping ceremony, your knowledge and talent will belong to me, and I will also become a genius, hahaha..."
Qin Yue angrily cursed: "How many innocent people have you killed to gain power!"
"Humph, don't put on a righteous face in front of me! Can you understand a poor warlock who is nearly 40 years old, but because of his poor talent, he has nothing and has achieved nothing, and is still an apprentice?
Can you imagine watching your former classmates stand out one by one, watching the years pass by day by day, full of ambition but mediocre? Have you ever experienced the ridicule and contempt, insults and even beatings of others, and had to kowtow to win pathetic sympathy!
"Have you experienced your father getting sicker and sicker but having no money to treat him, and finally died in pain, and your mother was exhausted to death by a black-hearted factory in order to earn a little pitiful tuition? ”
“When my father died of illness and my mother died of exhaustion, where was justice?”
“Tell me!”
Wei Nan’s eyes were filled with painful tears and he became hysterical. He pointed at Qin Yue and Oscar and continued to yell.
“You were born rich!”
“You were born a genius!”
Wei Nan was completely different from usual, roaring hysterically: “This world is unfair! It’s unfair!”
Oscar said coldly: “Have you ever thought about the widow Liu in Musk Ox Village? Is what you did fair to her?”
Wei Nan’s expression froze, and then he roared even more hysterically: “I’m not wrong, it’s the world that’s wrong! If the master hadn’t appeared, if the master hadn’t guided me, I would still be a sad little reptile! I’m not wrong, I’m not wrong!”
Meng Hu drew his bow: “Why are you talking nonsense with a madman! Kill him first! "
Snap!
The sound of glass breaking was heard.
Wei Nan's level 2 spell shield was shattered by an arrow!
Wei Nan didn't expect Meng Hu to be so powerful. He fell to his knees on the altar and shouted, "Master, help me! Sacrifice 500 strong humans afterwards!"
A sinister, evil and greedy voice made Oscar feel cold in his heart, as if someone was hiding in the altar and talking, "Not enough, I want 1,000 people!"
Wei Nan's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No problem!"
"Who is talking! "
Meng Hu was very surprised, but he did not stop. He pulled the infusion of true energy and shot another arrow at Wei Nan. This arrow was powerful enough to break gold and shatter stone. When it was about to penetrate Wei Nan's body, the altar suddenly emitted a black light and the arrow was directly bounced off.
Everyone's expression changed.
At this time, roars came from all directions, and a group of clawed demons appeared, about seven or eight, among which there was a particularly tall giant clawed demon.
The clawed demon directly launched a fierce attack on everyone. Meng Hu pulled the heavy bow, the string sounded twice, and the clawed demon fell down.
"Kill!"
The mercenary drew out the battle axe, sword, and shield, and rushed forward fiercely, fighting with the clawed demon.
Oscar saw that the giant clawed demon did not participate in the battle but was like an agile monkey, bouncing on the stalactites and heading towards the altar.
Oscar thought of something and immediately shouted: "Meng Hu, shoot the giant clawed demon! "
Meng Hu was a sharpshooter, and his arrows were so sharp that even though the giant claw demon was moving at high speed, he was still shot in the back by an arrow, and the huge force knocked him to the ground.
The giant claw demon's internal organs must have been injured by the true qi, but the demon's life force was very tenacious. Although it was severely injured, the giant claw demon turned over and stood up, jumped up, and landed on the altar.
"Oh no!"
Oscar looked solemn.
"Roar——! "
The giant claw demon roared on the altar, and a black breath poured out from the altar, continuously penetrating into the giant claw demon's body.
The giant claw demon was originally about the same size as a human, but after obtaining this evil and powerful power, it immediately became nearly twice as thick and taller than a tiger. Delicate black scales grew on its originally wrinkled black skin,
A tuft of thick white hair grew on its bald forehead and back, and the finger blades that were originally two feet long became nearly three feet long and were bright red like blood.
"It has evolved!"
"Level 3 demon - tearing demon!"
This is a level 3 demon!
Equivalent to the strength of a great martial artist!
With Wei Nan, a magician, helping out, do these people still have a chance of winning?
