The path between the two mountains was uneven, with hardly any route suitable for a motorcycle to travel smoothly.

Yan Luo had to slow down the motorcycle, otherwise, he would definitely crash.

With two City-breaking Level Demons in pursuit, crashing even once would mean he could never get up again.

Ahead in the distance lay the basin, and at this moment, Yan Luo was only twenty or thirty kilometers from the entrance to the Magic Palace.

——Boom!

Suddenly, a giant boulder fell from the sky, crashing down in front of Yan Luo and blocking his path.

Right after, a second boulder flew in, smashing behind Yan Luo and blocking his retreat.

"Aang!!!"

The Earth Giant Elephant let out a joyful roar, racing down with its feet on the mountain wall.

Given the Earth Giant Elephant's weight, if it jumped straight down, its entire body would suffer from shattering fractures, even if it were a City-breaking Level Demon, the result wouldn't change.

With the path ahead and behind blocked and the Wind God Eagle circling above, Yan Luo suddenly found himself in a perilous situation.

But he didn't stop the motorcycle; he reached into the backpack, pressing twice at the bottom, and took out two landmines, tossing them towards the boulder in front.

With Yan Luo's strength, even if the landmine wasn't designed for throwing, he could still toss it several dozen meters, not to mention the boulder was less than thirty meters away.

The two landmines landed on the boulder as expected. The moment they made contact with the surface, Yan Luo detonated them, shattering the boulder to pieces.

Debris flew toward him, pelting Yan Luo nonstop. Even with exoskeleton protection, he still felt a slight impact.

Yan Luo's physical resilience was strong enough that this impact didn't even cause him pain.

With the tires crushing over unevenly shaped rubble, Yan Luo quickly passed through the mountain path and entered the basin.

The basin's flat terrain was ideal for motorcycling.

The frustrated roar of the Earth Giant Elephant sounded from behind, and Yan Luo's sensor captured the Wind God Eagle's descent. Yan Luo deftly swerved the motorcycle to avoid the Wind God Eagle's strike with a sharp drift.

This time, the Wind God Eagle didn't bother extracting itself from the dirt; it flapped its wings directly, unleashing a storm.

The storm swept across the plain. Instead of hitting Yan Luo, it propelled him forward, accelerating the motorcycle momentarily.

Yet inside, Yan Luo felt tense and frantic.

——Just a bit more, and the motorcycle's tail would have been hit!

After hours of tense pursuit from two City-breaking Level Demons, Yan Luo almost made a mistake. Fortunately, his stored Magic Power kept his body in top condition, allowing him to react quickly and avoid being hit by the storm.

The Wind God Eagle dared not linger because the Earth Giant Elephant was closing in.

Rumble——!

Heavy footsteps shook the earth as the Earth Giant Elephant entered the basin, hurling stones at Yan Luo's back.

Hearing the whistling from behind and his sensor's alert, Yan Luo urgently swung the motorcycle to dodge the stones thrown by the Earth Giant Elephant.

If hit by a stone, he would likely fall off the motorcycle, and that was practically the same as 'death.'

In the basin were several river channels, of unknown depth to Yan Luo, who didn't dare enter them rashly. He only planned to use these channels as a last resort, not unless absolutely necessary.

The narrowest channel was only five meters wide, allowing the Earth Giant Elephant to cross in one step, while the widest one was roughly twenty meters, potentially delaying it momentarily.

Moreover, the Wind God Eagle's airflow control would be inadequate in front of river water.

The motorcycle sped along the river channel, with the Earth Giant Elephant and Wind God Eagle in relentless pursuit, attacking at intervals to hinder Yan Luo.

The basin was vast, and as the motorcycle reached the other side, Yan Luo was now only ten kilometers from the Magic Palace entrance.

But these final ten kilometers would be fraught with danger!

Without a height advantage, Yan Luo couldn't see what lay ahead or where the road was; he might end up running into a dead end.

Even with sensor assistance, Yan Luo had to remain extremely vigilant; a single misstep could mean death.

The reason for such strenuous effort was Yan Luo knew that as the magic tide approached, many City-breaking Level Demons gathered near every entrance, which would erupt into a frenzy as soon as he got close.

The Magic Palace was different; there the threat to Hunters wasn't from Demons but the environment.

Within the Magic Palace, Hunters would occasionally see illusions, and believing those illusions would result in real harm.

However, complete disbelief wouldn't work either, as there were real Demons in the palace.

No one knew whether what they faced in the Magic Palace was just an illusion or a real Demon.

For this reason, no Hunters ventured into the Magic Palace.

If it were just that, it would be bearable, but the biggest issue was the low market value of materials produced by the Magic Palace Demons; this was the most lethal factor.

As few Hunters ventured into the Magic Palace, the materials produced there were scarce, making it unappealing for corporations or enterprises to invest in researching them. Without investment, there was no way to transform the materials into products, meaning no production capacity.

This vicious cycle continually drove down the prices for materials from the Magic Palace Demons, and over time, no Hunters entered the Magic Palace.

The motorcycle sped along the uneven mountain path, with the Earth Giant Elephant drawing closer to Yan Luo.

Noticing the Wind God Eagle's caution as its prey might be devoured by the Earth Giant Elephant, it intensified its attacks on Yan Luo.

It had to consume Yan Luo before the Earth Giant Elephant got too close, as it couldn't possibly compete with the Earth Giant Elephant.

Had the Earth Giant Elephant been smarter, it would have shielded Yan Luo from the Wind God Eagle's attacks rather than intensifying its own assaults.

Rocks flew from behind one after another, forcing Yan Luo to dodge not only the Wind God Eagle's strikes but also those projectiles, an utterly exhausting endeavor.

With only five kilometers to the Magic Palace entrance, Yan Luo sensed hope just ahead.

However, after hours on the run, always tense, Yan Luo made a minor mistake, and a stone struck his left shoulder.

If not for Yan Luo's quick reflexes, grabbing the handlebars, he would have been thrown off.

Even so, the blow knocked Yan Luo's body askew, causing the motorcycle to topple.

Seeing this, the Wind God Eagle reacted quickly, vibrating its wings to accelerate its descent.

As the prey fell down and the Earth Giant Elephant had a significant distance to cover, it could devour its prey before the Earth Giant Elephant arrived!

Inside his helmet, Yan Luo's flushed face reflected his gritted teeth against the shoulder pain.

There was still a chance!

Yan Luo issued a command through his visor, causing the fallen motorcycle to rise up.

Yanking the handlebars firmly, Yan Luo let the motorcycle lift him up as it stood.

The engine roared to life again, igniting the last of its fuel, while the Earth Giant Elephant let out an angry roar, hurling a stone at the greedy Wind God Eagle.

The Wind God Eagle gambled everything, accelerating its fall, but the motorcycle sped off faster, launching away at once.

At the instant the Wind God Eagle descended, the motorcycle shot out.

Yan Luo narrowly escaped the Wind God Eagle, breaking free from danger.

As the Wind God Eagle crashed down, debris splattered like raindrops on Yan Luo's back, making a crackling sound, but unfortunately, it failed to harm or stop him.

A towering shadow descended upon the Wind God Eagle, attempting to flee but it was too late.

The Earth Giant Elephant had arrived at the Wind God Eagle's side, extending its trunk to wrap and lift the Wind God Eagle's body.

Struggling fiercely, the Wind God Eagle squawked in panic under the trapping trunk.

Its strength was too puny to break free.

The Earth Giant Elephant continued its wild run, swinging the entangled Wind God Eagle left and right, bashing it against the mountain walls on either side.

The Wind God Eagle's struggle weakened gradually until it fell silent.

At the moment the Wind God Eagle's body shattered, Yan Luo also saw a sign before him.

——[This is the entrance to the Magic Palace, enter with caution!]

But this was exactly what he wanted!

The motorcycle accelerated, drifting into the entrance.

Thud!

The Earth Giant Elephant crashed into the entrance, but with a maximum diameter of only five meters, it couldn't possibly squeeze its bulk inside.

Standing outside the cave, the Earth Giant Elephant paused in silence before wildly roaring at the sky, exploding with infinite fury.

That delectable prey——

had! escaped!!!
