CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 145 UNDERGROUND LAKE_3

"What danger? Did you find traces of the demon spirit?" Shale hurriedly asked.

"Not exactly, but look, aren’t these sand dunes here a bit too many?" Li Xiu pointed at the undulating dunes and said, "Sand is something that moves easily. Normally, there shouldn’t be so many dunes unless there are frequent sandstorms or earthquakes here, or perhaps..."

"Or what?" Shale asked in confusion.

"Or perhaps some external force has shaped them this way. This force could be a power unknown to us, or it might be the demon spirit." As Li Xiu explained, the Pink Nightmare ahead seemed to have discovered something, letting out a shriek on the sand dune ahead.

Li Xiu and Shale rushed over and climbed up the dune. Immediately, their expressions turned to astonishment. Below the dune was a vast depression filled with buildings made of yellow stone.

Those buildings weren’t very tall, the tallest was about the height of a two-story building, with a rather ancient style, and very dilapidated, with collapsed walls everywhere. Many buildings had weathered beyond recognition, and some houses were even teetering on the brink of collapse.

This looked like an abandoned desert ancient city, and at the very center of the desert ancient city, the two saw a statue.

The statue was taller than any building in the ancient city and much more massive, resembling the demon spirit that Li Xiu and Shale encountered earlier, only this statue was dozens of times larger.

"Is that a statue or the demon spirit?" Shale stared at the enormous statue and asked uncertainly.

"It should be just a statue. I don’t sense any demon spirit aura on it," Li Xiu replied.

"Then I’m relieved. Come on, let’s go explore inside the desert ancient city. That demon spirit must have come from here, let’s see if we can find any more." Shale said, but stood still, waiting for Li Xiu to send the demon spirit down to scout the path.

"There’s no need for such trouble to find out if there are demon spirits inside." Li Xiu said, summoning the White Night Female Demon.

Li Xiu had studied the White Night Female Demon spirit carefully when he had free time, finding that her powers were far from as simple as previously imagined.

Even though she was just an E-level demon spirit, her abilities were even more overpowered compared to the Love God Shooter.

The Love God Shooter had only one ability, but the White Night Female Demon had abilities beyond just enhancing potential with her flying kiss.

During the day, she’s a beautiful demon spirit in a blue dress, and her flying kiss can enhance potential.

But at night, the blue dress on the White Night Female Demon turns purple, and then she transforms into a deadly assassin; her flying kiss not only fails to enhance potential but also weakens people’s bodies.

Here, there seemed to be no night, so the summoned White Night Female Demon was in a glittering blue dress, looking seductive and charming yet still not lacking a playful cuteness.

Li Xiu called her out, not to let her perform the flying kiss skill.

The White Night Female Demon has a hidden ability, which is her ability to attract the attention of demon spirits.

As long as she is present, whether day or night, if demon spirits are nearby, they will be attracted to her.

"This demon spirit... can it be touched?" Shale asked with an ambiguous smile, looking at the White Night Female Demon.

Now, he was immune to the demon spirits Li Xiu summoned, even if Li Xiu summoned a large army of demons, he wouldn’t find it surprising anymore.

"Do you want to give it a try?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"I’d rather not. Despite appearances, I actually have a cleanliness obsession, can’t accept things used by others," Shale smiled cheekily.

Li Xiu felt exasperated, thinking Shale’s mouth was really something.

While they were talking, suddenly the bell rang loudly from within the desert ancient city, the jingling sound deafening.

From those ancient buildings came demon spirits wearing bells, identical to the one that the Jedi Knight had slain previously.

Moreover, a few of them had golden light patterns on their bodies, clearly Flowing Color-grade demon spirits.

Li Xiu wasted no time, calling back the White Night Female Demon, pulling Shale onto the Pink Nightmare, then turned around and ran.

The sound of bells immediately filled the air, the demon spirits charging out of the ancient city like a group of large hungry dogs, tightly pursuing Li Xiu and his companions.

Most demon spirits were left behind as the Pink Nightmare drew away, but those few Flowing Color demon spirits kept close, speeding up and gradually catching up.

Li Xiu secretly estimated, "To keep pace with a C-level Pink Nightmare, these creatures’ level should be higher than Pink Nightmare. If they’re the same level, Pink Nightmare’s shiny quality should make it faster than the Flowing Color demon spirits. But judging by their speed, they’re only slightly faster than Pink Nightmare, so they likely aren’t S-level, probably A-level or B-level."

Li Xiu counted, a total of six Flowing Color demon spirits were catching up, while the other demon spirits had already fallen far behind.

Li Xiu suddenly came to a stop, then summoned Demigod Shana and the Jedi Knight to face the six Flowing Color demon spirits.

"Put this on." Li Xiu handed a gentleman’s hat to Shale.

"Brother, keep the hat for yourself. I, Shale, will only ever give others a green hat to wear in my lifetime, never wear one myself," Shale said sternly.

"Alright then." Li Xiu didn’t mind, placing the green hat on the Pink Nightmare’s head.

The Pink Nightmare immediately reared its forelegs and let out a long bray. Sitting at the back, Shale was caught off guard and thrown off. The Pink Nightmare, as if injected with excitement, charged towards the Flowing Color demon spirits.

Li Xiu drew the Fire Lotus Sword into his hand, the imprint on his finger surfaced, and a terrifying force instantly filled his body, white fluorescence shimmering over Li Xiu, and the Forbidden Spear appeared in his other hand.

The Jedi Knight and Demigod Shana split up, luring away four Flowing Color demon spirits, while Li Xiu, riding the Pink Nightmare, charged at the remaining two Flowing Color demon spirits.
