Chapter 472 Deep into the Canyon: Shadai Leads the Hunt
The Wind and Thunder Continent was filled with howling winds and thunderous roars—this was the opening line of the original document, a sentiment Jiang Chen now deeply understands.
In Whirlwind Canyon, howling winds whip up large amounts of hard rocks, sending them swirling wildly through the air.
Even stones weighing thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms can be blown into the sky by the wind.
Jiang Chen was nearly blown away by the whirlwind as soon as he entered the canyon.
The Lightning Undead Wings were unable to remain stable in such an environment, so Jiang Chen had to land and switch to walking.
The rocks in the canyon were exceptionally hard, difficult to destroy even with a full-force attack. However, Jiang Chen soon witnessed two whirlwinds tearing through the rocks, ultimately splitting them in two.
This scene made Jiang Chen extremely alert.
Although the information only marked Whirlwind Canyon as moderately dangerous, Jiang Chen felt that the level of danger there far exceeded his expectations.
The Thunder Pools on both sides were marked as highly dangerous.
At the same time, Thunder Burial Canyon has also been marked as high danger.
This standard is based on professionals at level 70 and above.
Generally, areas that pose no threat to top-tier professionals above level 80 are considered medium-risk zones.
High-danger zones are those that can pose a danger to top professionals.
There are no world-class bosses in Whirlwind Canyon. The only boss is a lord-level monster, along with a small number of ordinary monsters.
As long as you are careful of the whirlwinds inside, there shouldn't be too much danger.
Compared to the Lei Tan on both sides, it is indeed much safer.
Jiang Chen roused himself and swiftly traversed the canyon, focusing not only on the chaotic whirlwinds but also on his surroundings.
On the earth, which had been torn apart by whirlwinds time and time again, there were some holes no bigger than a fist.
The monsters in Whirlwind Canyon are hiding in the cave.
When he passes by the cave, the monster hidden inside will emerge and attack him.
The monster in Whirlwind Canyon is called the Whirlwind Lizard. It has the appearance of a lizard, with a slender body, and is also like a snake.
The Cyclone Lizard possesses powerful wind attributes, and its entire body is enveloped in whirlwinds, forming a natural defense.
Furthermore, their scales are equally sturdy, and the combination of these two factors greatly increases their defensive capabilities. The Cyclone Lizard is very tough, but fortunately, its attacks aren't particularly strong.
For Jiang Chen, dealing with the whirlwind lizard was not difficult.
No matter how fast the whirlwind lizards were, Jiang Chen didn't give them a chance to show themselves.
The skeleton berserker always walked in front of Jiang Chen, blocking each cave entrance as they came.
The giant axe now served as a shield, completely blocking the entrance to the cave.
The whirlwind lizards inside couldn't squeeze out at all.
A level 52 Skeleton Berserker, under the buff of the Lich General, has a strength of 41.
Although it's not as strong as a level 70 boss, it's much stronger than a level 70 regular monster.
Even a level 80 ordinary monster is inferior to the Skeleton Berserker in terms of strength attribute alone.
The entrance to the cave is now firmly blocked, and no matter how the whirlwind lizards inside struggle, they cannot break it open.
Once Jiang Chen is far away, he will put away the Skeleton Berserker. By then, if the Whirlwind Lizard charges out again, it will have already lost its target.
In this way, Jiang Chen only needs to specifically avoid the whirlwind, greatly reducing the difficulty.
The Whirlwind Canyon, which was of medium difficulty, became an easy road in front of Jiang Chen.
In less than two hours, Jiang Chen traversed the Whirlwind Canyon, which spans a thousand kilometers.
The canyon is shaped like a sword, with a slightly narrow exit.
Jiang Chen left Whirlwind Canyon and soared into the sky.
The distance of just a thousand kilometers took him two hours.
If it can fly, it won't take more than half an hour.
boom!
As the sky brightened, lightning flashed like raindrops.
Jiang Chen stood in the air and looked to both sides. Not far to the sides were Thunder Pools, a world of lightning, where not only lightning flashed and thunder roared in the air.
The ground was also an ocean of electric light.
The so-called pool is not water at all, but plasma formed by lightning. When the lightning became so concentrated, it melted the earth, flowing like water.
Jiang Chen had never seen such intense lightning before.
If it weren't for the existence of such a unique place as Whirlwind Canyon, it would have been really difficult for him to cross Thunder Pool, not to mention that there are two world-class BOSSes in Thunder Pool.
Faintly, Jiang Chen could see a team of professionals fighting deep within the lightning.
Those who can come to Thunder Pool are at least top-tier professionals at level 85.
Some have even reached level 88, becoming demigods.
This is the only way to ensure safety. When Jiang Chen looked over, the other person seemed to have noticed him as well.
After confirming that Jiang Chen was a human professional, they stopped paying attention to him.
Jiang Chen identified the direction and flew towards the Burial Thunder Canyon once again.
Shadai, leading a group of demons, was speeding towards Jiang Chen's location.
They are very fast, much faster than Jiang Chen.
Shadai constantly sensed Jiang Chen's direction, and in its hand it also held a map.
"Judging from the direction he's heading, he should be going to the Thunder Burial Canyon."
What was he doing there?
Shadai was very puzzled.
A demon let out a sinister laugh, "Who cares what he's doing? We'll catch up with him and kill him."
Another demon said, "That's right, what he does is none of our business. The Demon King is being far too cautious, making our squad do the work of killing a level 52 human."
Shadai didn't speak, but it felt a little disdainful.
Accompanying it this time was an elite squad under the command of the Black Demon King.
The elite squad consists of ten demons, each over level 80, with some specializing in melee combat, others in ranged attacks, and still others in control.
This team composition method is extremely rare among demons, and it was formed by referencing human and dragon professionals.
Extensive practical experience has proven that this team formation method is effective, significantly improving combat power compared to fighting individually.
The squad leader, Hu Lie, is a level 83 lord-level demon and the top henchman of the Black Sky Demon King.
Lord-level demons hold an extremely high status among demons, second only to the Demon King.
Its attributes are comparable to those of a lord-level boss of the same tier. It is comparable to a dragon with ancestral bloodlines and can also rival the top-tier human classes.
In particular, a lord-level demon, after becoming a demon king, will be an invincible existence among demon kings of the same level, much stronger than the Flame Demon King and the like.
To ensure the success of killing Jiang Chen, the Black Heaven Demon King made Hu Lie, who was usually still, take action.
Hu Lie whispered, "Don't underestimate Jiang Chen. He even killed the Flame Demon King."
A demon scoffed, "Captain, do you believe that?"
"Exactly, a level 52 human killing the Demon King? The human is probably just bragging."
"The Flame Demon King must have encountered other god-level powerhouses among the human race and was then surrounded and killed."
The demons chattered amongst themselves.
Sha Dai remained silent, thinking to himself, "Those who underestimated Jiang Chen are all dead. Go ahead and fight or kill me if you want. I'll slip away if things don't look good."
She kept a teleportation stone tightly in her hand.
This was given by the Succubus Queen; it's of a very high level and can break through the barriers set up by the demons.
I also told it to run away if there was any problem, and not to worry about other people's lives.
Demons are all selfish, and Shade is no exception.
Hu Lie whispered, "Shadai, how far are we from Jiang Chen?"
Its eyes burned with desire as it looked at Shadai.
Not only it, but other demons are the same.
However, its gaze is more obvious and aggressive.
Shadai replied, "We should be able to intercept it before it reaches the Thunder Burial Canyon. I've looked at the map, and there aren't any dangerous areas along the way. As long as we don't encounter a large group of Windflowers, there won't be any problems."
Hu Lie nodded. "Okay."
Shadai could feel Hu Lie's gaze, and thought with disdain, "See, see, maybe we won't have the chance to see it again."
For some reason, it felt that Hu Lie was very likely to die at Jiang Chen's hands.
Since we've decided it's a dying person, let it take a few more glances.
Besides, she was a succubus.
Isn't it normal to be attractive?
As she thought this, Shadai exuded an even stronger alluring aura.
Hu Lie's gaze became even more intense.
If it weren't for the Demon King's mission, Huli would have loved to have a deeper conversation with Shadai here.
Jiang Chen had stopped. A dragon clan was blocking his path.
