[White Marked Wolf - Blood Calamity Canine, Golden Spike Elder - Straw Demon and the like, you don't need to bother with.]

[Huh?] Lu Ran struggled to tear his gaze away from the Jade Talisman, looking towards the Immortal Sheep God Sculpture halfway up the mountain.

The eighth-level Evil God·Blood Calamity Canine has two sides, known as the White Marked Wolf.

The two look quite similar, both being large wolf dogs; the difference is that the Blood Calamity Canine has black fur with blood-colored markings, while the White Marked Wolf has white fur with golden markings.

This pair of Deity and Demon has not merged.

On the battlefield, one could occasionally see a white wolf phantom on the minions of the Blood Calamity Canine, which were the Divine Minions·White Marked Wolves.

Similarly, the ninth-level God Demon Golden Spike Elder - Straw Demon also has not merged.

Lu Ran was very familiar with the Straw Demon clan, as these weak Evil Demons often visited the small town rain alley.

They wear coats made of dried yellow grass-leaves and hats made of the same.

Their eyes, hidden under the brim, were particularly striking, composed of grains of rice, giving off a bizarre withered yellow hue.

The two sides of the Straw Demon·Golden Spike Elder are in complete contrast to its dark style.

The Golden Spike Elder is also a type of scarecrow.

His body is tightly woven from plump, golden grains of rice, resembling a tall and thin rustic old man.

In his hand, he holds a flail, which is both a weapon and a farming tool.

It consists of a long handle connected to a row of wooden boards, traditionally used to thresh grain and make the seeds fall out.

The Golden Spike Elder's appearance gives off a very simple feeling, and his smile is quite honest; he is also one of the few in the God Demon Camp who gives the Human Clan a sense of familiarity.

That's really rare!

After all, no matter how weak he is, even if ranked ninth, he is a genuine god.

And what the ninth-level God·Golden Spike Elder is most known for is the pleasant grain fragrance emanating from his entire body.

Especially good smelling.

Lu Ran, far from the Divine Mountain, has yet to discern the grain scent.

Later, he can get close to this "Scarecrow Elder" and have a good sniff~

[The life and death of the two wolf dogs and two scarecrows can be decided after you settle the Divine Mountain. When you take action later, just focus on slaying the Blood Skull, Dust Shadow Flower - Wicked Mirror Demon, and the Jade Talisman.]

Listening to the Immortal Sheep Elder's voice transmission, Lu Ran also reached a conclusion in his heart.

It seems that the Sheep General has already dealt with the White Marked Wolf - Blood Calamity Canine, and Golden Spike Elder - Straw Demon in secret?

Truth be told, the Immortal Sheep Elder and these four Deity and Demon are all at the same midway point on the mountain.

On Blood Dust Divine Mountain, they apparently aren't qualified to stand atop the Divine Mountain Peak, where the head of Da Xia's Evil Demons·Blood Skull should be.

Lu Ran looked up and saw the Dust Shadow Flower - Wicked Mirror Demon two stone sculptures standing near the top of the peak, which remained vacant.

Is Blood Skull not home?

Lu Ran slowly flew around, finally spotting the figure of the Evil Demon Leader on the eastern battle line, dozens of kilometers away from the mountain.

"Hiss..." Just a glance made Lu Ran draw a sharp breath.

So fierce, huh?

The style is completely different!

In the Ran Sect, if you pull out Jiang Ruyi, Leng Xushuang, Yu Changsheng, the three of them seem like they're not even on the same layer as the three thousand disciples.

There's a distinct sense of "my pixel level is above yours."

And on Blood Dust Divine Mountain, the Blood Skull is that most unique one.

Around him floated blood mist, wielding a pair of long, blood-red straight blades; as each wrist turned, it conjured round after round of blood-colored moons.

Blood droplets flung off the blade, evidently scalding hot, indiscriminately scorching large swathes!

Honestly, Blood Skull's action speed was somewhat excessively fast!

The more Lu Ran watched, the more alarmed he became.

Is there really anyone in the Ran Sect who can keep up with Blood Skull's battle pace?

Even Huangfu Zhao, known for T0 level speed, had high displacement speed but not high action rate.

The only option would be to open Dong Ting Divine Technique·Thunderstruck Phase, having lightning strike himself to comprehensively enhance attributes, and then give it a try.

Compared to that, Yan Shuangzi's reaction ability, action speed, and the ability to gather and process information must be better than Huangfu Zhao's.

Because Yan Shuangzi has already integrated the Greedy Wolf Evil Dog dual techniques: Wolf Sense - Evil Sense, Wolf Sensitivity - Evil Sensitivity.

Can she wrest the Blood Skull hand-to-hand?

Lu Ran closely watched, feeling increasingly unsettled.

This is freaking...

Keep in mind, Blood Skull hasn't even initiated Evil Technique·Burning Blood Body yet!

That technique burns blood and divine power as the cost, boiling the blood within, causing a comprehensive surge in self-attributes!

As a Stone Sculpture, Blood Skull naturally has no blood, but it possesses divine power, with seething blood droplets formed by divine power manifesting around it.

Even the Greedy Wolf and Evil Dog dual techniques combined may truly not match up to Blood Skull's technique.

It's not easy...

[Why so silent, are you scared?] A low voice, laced with a hint of mockery, imprinted itself into Lu Ran's mind.

[No, I'm just pondering how to take action.] Lu Ran hurriedly responded, [By the way, Immortal Sheep Elder, what Divine Weapon Domain do those two blades of Blood Skull hold?]

[You don't recognize those two blades?]

[Huh?] Lu Ran was momentarily stunned, then observed carefully for a while, [That's Blood Skull's Evil Technique·Burning Blood Blade, not a Divine Weapon?]

[Heh.] The Immortal Sheep Elder let out a cold chuckle, [The Divine Weapons you all covet are beneath Blood Skull's notice.]

Lu Ran: "..."

The Blood Skull Elder is so noble, huh?

Even the most top-notch divine weapons in the world would stain your hands, wouldn't they?

[You might want to pay attention to that necklace.] The Immortal Sheep seemed convinced that Lu Ran had turned into a little coward, too afraid to observe closely, so he directly reminded him.

[Necklace?] Lu Ran squinted his eyes, looking at the necklace made of small skulls.

Each of those blood-red skulls, with hollow black eye sockets, was truly terrifying.

[It's a fourth-tier magical artifact that can spray blood outward, turning the battlefield into a blood pool.]

[Blood pool... What exactly is its effect?] Lu Ran hurriedly asked.

[If you are drenched by the sprayed blood, hit by the splashing blood pearls, or accidentally fall into the blood pool, the viscous blood will solidify your body, rendering you immobile.]

The Immortal Sheep sighed lightly and continued: [The intensity of this artifact's effect is very high; even the Blood Skull himself, if falling into the pool, cannot move.]

"Gulp." Lu Ran's throat moved slightly.

If the Blood Skull would be immobilized, then someone like him, a mere human, wouldn't even need to fall into the blood pool.

Randomly hit by just a drop of blood pearl, he would instantly be turned into a "amber"!

Just like those small insects encased in resin for millions of years...

No way!

The Blood Skull must not be allowed to cast spells, nor must the necklace be allowed to cast spells.

The Immortal Sheep said lazily: [Although your body can't move, you can still cast spells. So even if the Blood Skull is completely covered by blood and his limbs are stiff, he can still teleport to kill enemies.]

So that's it!

Lu Ran nodded secretly, suddenly thought of something, and asked: [The effects of this artifact are probably classified as a technique for changing the terrain environment, rather than an attack type.

If that's the case, Divine Technique·Mist Rain in Human World should be able to break it?]

[Huh, a bit of cleverness.] The Immortal Sheep snorted.

Such words from the coldhearted Sheep would already be considered a compliment.

Lu Ran accepted it calmly; after all, he had come up with a counter-strategy in just a few seconds, which showed a bit of quick wit.

Hmm... didn't embarrass himself too much in front of the bossy Sheep General~

[Immortal Sheep, please wait a moment, I plan to communicate well with the warriors of the Ran Sect to draft a battle plan.]

[Hmm.]

Lu Ran moved away from the Divine Mountain and spiritually linked with the warriors, launching into intense discussions.

[Too fast, you haven't seen it, but the Blood Skull's speed is insanely fast, and he hasn't even activated Burning Blood Body yet...]

[Can the same old tactics work? Last time Evil Shadow led the team to control the Martial Monk, they almost let him escape.]

[Indeed, I must keep the Domain of Silence on at all times. Dust Shadow Flower-Evil Mirror Demon also needs someone to deal with, and additionally, the Jade Talisman is present...]

During these exchanges, Jiang Ruyi heard this sentence and was quite surprised: [The Jade Talisman is here as well?]

[The Immortal Sheep specially invited him for me, and combined with your two Ghost Talismans, it can form a set with four other types of Stone Talismans... By the way, Ruyi, once the Jade Talisman is killed off, first enclose its divine soul in the Rebirth Money.]

In the Sculpture Garden, Jiang Ruyi nodded gently.

It seems Lu Ran has some accounts to settle with the Jade Talisman Master.

Huangfu Zhao stepped forward, knelt towards Jiang Ruyi and saluted, asking the Lady of Ran Sect, also conveying to the Master of Ran Sect: [The Blood Skull's combat capability is extremely strong, even under the constraint of Domain of Silence, he's difficult to deal with.

Currently, in Ran Sect, two great generals are advancing; Nightmare Guardian and Heavenly General Yin.

The Young Master had previously performed the Domain of Silence on North Wind Divine Mountain, his body is now drained, maybe we...]

The words need not be said, Lu Jiang both understood Huangfu Zhao's meaning.

Fame precedes people, while shadows follow trees.

Fighting against this Evil Demon Leader of Da Xia brings significant pressure for the warriors of Ran Sect.

Huangfu Zhao wished for Ran Sect to face the strong enemy in its prime, understandable indeed.

Both Nightmare and Heavenly General Yin are second-class God Demons, with formidable power, and if they could hold position at the edge of the Domain of Silence, they would greatly increase Ran Sect's margin for error.

The only issue is, time waits for no one!

Lu Ran's words imprinted in the minds of the generals: [Heavenly General Yin requires two days minimum to devour divine souls. Nightmare Guardian devours double divine souls which would take longer.

If delayed, change will arise. This battle must be fought today!

I have just communicated with Yan Zhi, she will assist me in fully activating the Domain of Silence, which can at least last three minutes.]

Huangfu Zhao remained silent.

Upon hearing the Young Master's resolute determination, those few old Cloud Sea members who wanted to echo did not step forward.

Far off on the southeastern battle front, Yu Changsheng transmitted his voice: [What the Master had just stated, Dust Shadow Flower-Evil Mirror Demon is near the mountaintop region.

Blood Skull and Jade Talisman are positioned on east and west sides of the Divine Mountain front line, currently killing enemies and plundering resources.]

[Mr. Cong Long, any insights?]

[With the Master's decision made, I believe we can await an opportune moment.]

[Speak.] Lu Ran said deeply.

[When Blood Skull and Jade Talisman both return to the mountain top for rest, the Master can initiate the Domain of Silence, simultaneously binding four God Demons.]

[Hmm...] Lu Ran was thoughtful.

[The enemy God Demons can both teleport and instantaneously relocate, it would be advantageous for us to consolidate the combat zone to avoid unexpected mishaps.]

Lu Ran nodded secretly.

That's indeed logical, a thorough sweep is needed!

Yu Changsheng furthered: [With our numbers and strength, on the mountain peak, we can look out for each other. Even if Blood Skull possesses sky-reaching abilities, he might find it difficult, with fists alone, to triumph over numerous hands!]

[Hmm!]
