NovelEnglishThe demons were cunning. Forming the base of the demon army formation, the ice frozen beast was always the last to emerge from the mountain and could immediately freeze up the entrance after that. As a result, no one detected anything strange about that mountain.
After beating off the army troops in the first attack, the demons did not give chase into the valley but returned the same way they came. They had the ice frozen beast seal up the entrance again—making it seem as if they had disappeared into thin air.
“But… wouldn’t this ice melt?” One soldier couldn’t believe his eyes.
Ji Fengyan dried off the water on her hands and said, “It is easy at all for a level-nine demon to freeze an entire mountain.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRealization dawned on everyone. At the same time, an inexplicable fear circled their hearts.
They had long known about how cunning the demons could be. But they never guessed that they could carry out such an intricate plan. If not for Ji Fengyan’s discovery, no matter which troops were sent here, they would have suffered countless surprise demon attacks.
Thinking of how the demons emerged through that hole in the middle of night without detection, the gathering felt a spine-tingling chill all over.
Ji Fengyan immediately had her men knock down the wall of ice. As expected, the inside was an empty cavity, able to house tens of thousands of demons at the same time.
“It’ll be impossible to fill up such a huge cavity.” Lu Shaoqing’s heart sank as he stared at the massive cave.
“General, should we… move?” One of the soldiers asked fearfully.
Ji Fengyan rubbed her chin. “Why should we move? It’d be so shameful if we are scared off just by a random hole created by the demons. Isn’t it just a hole? Just seal it up.”
Ji Fengyan made it sound so easy, whereas those staring at that massive cave were not as optimistic.
“Get those rookies over here.” Ji Fengyan ordered Lu Shaoqing.
Lu Shaoqing immediately summoned over ten thousand of the new soldiers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe new troops stood before Ji Fengyan. There was not a trace of the former disdain on their faces—instead they all gazed at Ji Fengyan with fiery adoration.
“Lord General! What can we do for you!” The bunch of rookies was full of spirit and energy.
Ji Fengyan grinned and pointed at that huge cave. “Good boys. Here’s a new assignment for you. Get some rocks to seal up the far entrance of this cave.”
It stunned Lu Shaoqing. Ji Fengyan actually planned to block up the hole? And not the entire cave but only the entrance at the other side?
Before Lu Shaoqing could understand Ji Fengyan’s intentions, the starry-eyed new soldiers immediately hollered their cooperation and entered the cave without further urging. One by one, they lugged huge rocks over to the far side entrance.
“Yang Jian, follow them. Report back to me if any issues arise.” Looking at the panting newbies, Ji Fengyan was still considerate enough to send Yang Jian along for their protection.
Yang Jian nodded and followed them. The new soldiers had witnessed Yang Jian’s awesome capabilities yesterday and surrounded him eagerly.
