Chapter 39 - Falling into a Trap

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After blasting open the mountain, he realized that the innards of the mountain was hollow, like a natural cave.

“Hurry up, help the ones that you’re carrying now in first. Those who are not injured can stay behind.”

Zhuo Bufan stood on the ice wall, watching his companions enter the cave one after another to hide, his anxious heart also gradually relaxed.

“Oh no, someone is trapped in their own territory. We have to save them.”

Tripitaka’s words reminded Zhuo Bufan that the companions who teleported here should be far from the entire human race. There must still be people who did not make it in time.

“Big Boss Song, you’re in charge of protecting them. I’ll go rescue the others now.”

Song Chenxing, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, nodded. At the same time, he signaled the people who were still outside to usher them in.

Tripitaka was the last to cover the retreat. Just as he was about to enter the cave to find a safe place, Song Chenxing pulled him back.

“What are you doing?” In his panic, Tripitaka almost fell to the ground.

“What are you doing? Guard the cave entrance with me.”

Tripitaka looked up and down his surroundings before saying, “Isn’t there a wall here? Those dwarfs won’t be able to enter anytime soon.”

Song Chenxing’s face darkened. Seeing this, Tripitaka hastily cleared his throat and said, “Okay, I’ll stay with you.”

In the huge cave, Song Chenxing and Tripitaka served as the final barrier. The ice wall in front of them blocked almost half of the danger.

Seeing that everyone entered the cave safely, Zhuo Bufan turned around and looked at the huge dragon that was still spewing fire from the mountainside.

A whistle sounded, and under the eyes of the demons, he rode on one of them, quickly leaving the territory.

Zhuo Bufan’s departure shocked the Demon Race. They had already waited for a very long time, and today, their goal was to kill Zhuo Bufan and obtain a leap in their abilities.

But now that Zhuo Bufan wanted to leave, that was equivalent to having a roasted duck that was about to enter one’s mouth start flying away. The devils who were still preparing to climb up the ice wall instantly changed their attack direction.

The Demon Race took the lead while the Centaur Race and the Orc Race followed behind. The Dwarf Race stayed where they were and continued to try and bore through the wall.

Seeing that they were about to reach the teleportation portal, Zhuo Bufan took out the Immovable Radiant King Armor from his backpack. Although it only offered half an hour of protection, it was better than nothing.

Whoosh!

Something brushed past his ear. Zhuo Bufan subconsciously turned back and realized that the Demon Race had surprisingly already caught up.

“Hurry up!”

The dragons flapped their wings vigorously and soon put some distance between them and the demons. However, the demons were not big and were about the same size as the humans. They did not need to expend as much energy as the dragons to maintain a certain speed.

The distance that was just pulled apart was caught up very quickly. This made Zhuo Bufan rather nervous.

Fortunately, the dragon beneath him was strong enough. Just as they were about to reach the teleportation portal, it suddenly rotated 180 degrees.

Scorching flames spurted out, temporarily forcing the demons to retreat.

Taking advantage of this time gap, Zhuo Bufan successfully entered the portal.

White light flashed around him, and the scene in front of him instantly left Zhuo Bufan dumbfounded.

When this territory’s gate opened, indeed, no place could escape disaster. But to talk about the degree of destruction, this person could probably rival him in how much his territory had been razed!

Before Zhuo Bufan could even figure out whose territory this was, he already saw his companions avoiding the Dwarf Race’s attack.

“My goodness, why is a dragon here? I don’t have anything valuable!”

Zhuo Bufan heard what that person said and hurriedly waved at him.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s me!”

Zhuo Bufan wanted to land, but the Dwarf Race who was behind him was like a sticky plaster that refused to come off. Zhuo Bufan could only take out his Ice Fire Magestaff and summon some icicles to attack them

The icicles were sharp and fell on the dwarf like countless embroidery needles.

After forcing back a wave, Zhuo Bufan finally landed, but there was no time to say anything, he stretched out his hand and pulled the person up.

“Are you hurt?”

“No, but my territory is gone.”

Zhuo Bufan chuckled and said, “It’s fine. If the territory is gone, we can just rebuild it. As long as the people are still alive, all is good. I’ll bring you to the teleportation gate now. You’ll immediately teleport to my territory. There’ll be someone there to receive you!”

Just like that, under Zhuo Bufan’s dragon race’s lead, he rescued all the companions trapped in their territories.

But by the time they returned to his territory, this place was already devastated.

Moreover, the ice wall had been ruined by the dwarves.

Only Song Chenxing and Tripitaka were left, trying their best to protect the others.

Seeing this, Zhuo Bufan stood up on the dragon’s body. Ice and fire fell one after another, mercilessly killing the other races.

After destroying half of them, the remaining demons were completely enraged.

“You guys put in so much effort just for me. Catch up if you can.”

After Zhuo Bufan finished speaking, he rode the huge dragon into the dense forest. Back then, he thought that the swamp would be useful, but he did not expect it to really come in handy.

“Keep flying, don’t stop, I want to lead them into a swamp!”

“Yes!”

Throughout the entire process, the dragon race was willing to do anything, obeying Zhuo Bufan’s orders.

Flying above the swamp, Zhuo Bufan ordered the dragon to land, then jumped down from the dragon’s body. In order to not let the dragon be harmed by the demons, he first let it find a place to hide.

“The dragons will protect the owner of the Ice Fire Magestaff with their lives.”

Zhuo Bufan touched the dragon’s head dotingly and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t be harmed by the people of the Demon Race. If you’re injured, I’ll feel bad in my heart. Hurry up and leave!”

Finally, under Zhuo Bufan’s coaxing and pestering, the colossal dragon finally flew away unwillingly.

The moment the colossal dragon left, the demon race arrived soon after. When they saw that Zhuo Bufan was alone, they thought that they finally found an opportunity.

“Seeing you all put in so much effort for me, I am truly a bit moved. However, my life is not so easily taken away.”

After Zhuo Bufan finished speaking, he sighed and fiddled with the magestaff in his hand.

“Are you afraid?”

“The demons obtain their abilities by hunting humans, and you are the most powerful human.”

Before this, Zhuo Bufan had always felt that he was the worst among the Human Race. He did not expect that the Demon Race would actually claim that he was the most powerful.

“Zhuo Bufan, if you know what’s good for you, let us make a move and kill you. It can also be considered as contributing to our Demon Race’s strength!”

Zhuo Bufan’s brows furrowed tightly, pretending to retreat step by step, luring them closer.

“I’ve only been here for a few days. I don’t want to die yet. Besides, I have the Ice Fire Magestaff and the help of the dragon race. My chances of winning are quite high!”

Before his voice even fell, the Demons roared in front of Zhuo Bufan, and their pale eyes instantly turned scarlet red.

Their entire bodies also emitted clusters of black aura. Seeing Zhuo Bufan, he knew that they had all triggered their berserk states!

“Then let’s give it a try. Can you withstand so many of us by yourself?”

Zhuo Bufan smiled but did not speak. He turned around and swiftly ran in the direction of the swamp, exerting all his strength, afraid that he would be a step slower.

Seeing that they were about to reach the swamp, Zhuo Bufan was thinking about how to let the demon race fall in. Right at this time, the huge dragon that was already hiding suddenly appeared.

It caught the demons off guard. With a swing of the dragon’s tail, it took advantage of the element of surprise to bring down a wave. Zhuo Bufan then jumped up and grabbed the dragon claw with one hand.

He watched on as the lead of the demons fell straight into the swamp!
