Elemental Demons’ Entertainment (Part 1)

The journey through the portal was smooth sailing. Though the elemental demons’ teleportation formation wasn’t designed for human teleportation, Mu Yu’s wood-control ability made him a special case. To be safe, Xiaoshuai travelled inside Mu Yu’s shirt. Prior experience granted him the ability to land safely on the other side.

Upon landing, mist obstructed Mu Yu’s vision, but he could smell blood. Hearing something fly zoom through the air, he entered his wood spirit and transformed into grass.

“Anything?”

The speaker’s voice was deep. Both of the individuals who came had cracked skin. Mu Yu never detected any elemental demons the last time he was there because Mist City was so populated that they’d easily have picked up on elemental demons’ activities. Nevertheless, there they were, two fire demons searching for something in the west.

“Nothing.” The fire demon in the sky made a landing and withdrew his fire into him.

“Strange. I heard the formation activate. I thought someone used our formation. Whatever, let’s go. That was for nothing. Let’s finish off the remaining humans when we’re back,” one fire demon said with a wry smile.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

A sick feeling visited Mu Yu’s stomach. Based on what he knew, the elemental demons had been raiding cities as part of their declaration of war on humanity. He, therefore, reasoned they might’ve captured humans. He always harboured a degree of dislike for Third Continent owing to what Feng Haochen suffered. Even so, he was rational enough to understand the ordinary folks were innocent in the matter. As such, he wouldn’t stand by and watch elemental demons attack ordinary humans.

There was a bearded man shakily crossing a narrow and thin wooden bridge below the stone platform. Calling it a platform was a bit of a stretch since it was practically a wooden stick that required one to traverse the same way they’d walk a tightrope. Slip and they would’ve fallen to their death in the lava. The fire demons’ cheering from below didn’t help. The wood was hot enough to burn the man’s shoes. Seeing his shoe on fire, he jolted, thereby losing his breath.

“Aaahh!”

Within the blink of an eye, the man’s scream died out in the lava. Smoke whisked up from where he plummeted to his demise.

Mu Yu shut his eyes. He had a slim chance of rescuing the captives at best.

“Those fire freaks rub me the wrong way,” fumed Xiaoshuai, popping out.

Mu Yu gnashed his teeth.

A fire demon next to the fire prison shouted, “Anyone else want to see a human-roasting performance? We still have four humans left.”

The fire demons below cried out in joy to express, “Yes.” They loved watching humans show despair and sizzling in the lava. Torturing humans was one form of entertainment to them. None of their human captives had crossed the bridge before.

A fire demon flew up to the platform. He summoned the guards back to his side and proposed, “Who wants to go first? Cross the bridge, and you’re a free man.”
