Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 30 I tried so hard, how are you still alive?

(Thanks to wind_dE for the donation!)

The night was as dark as ink, and the group quietly stopped in the hilly area three hundred miles away from the demon camp.

The night wind swept across the jagged rocks, making a mournful sound.

Moonlight crouched in a sheltered spot, a sheepskin map spread out on his lap.

With the help of the exploratory eye, the surrounding terrain can be seen in its entirety.

"The coordinates are confirmed. Intelligence from Exorcism Pass indicates that this canyon is a necessary route for the demon race's grain transport teams," Yuehui said.

The rock walls on both sides of the canyon gleamed a cold, hard bluish-gray under the moonlight, and the narrow valley floor meandered like a snake, with the narrowest point only wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side.

"Does your team have any summoners with flying beasts?" Moonshine's gaze swept over everyone.

"Yes, yes, Liao Yu in my guild has several flying magical beasts like these."

After Yang Wenzhao finished speaking, he gestured to Liao Yu.

In a short while, several small flying magical beasts quietly took off and disappeared in an instant.

After a while...

"According to the survey," Duan Yi reported in a low voice, "this grain transport team consists of about three thousand demons, mainly low-ranking troops. They are traveling along the north side of the canyon and are expected to arrive here in half an hour."

He paused, then asked, "What should we do once they enter the ambush zone?"

Moonlight's slender fingers traced the winding canyon on the map, tapping at several key locations.

"In this terrain, the supply convoys will inevitably form a long, serpentine formation. Our primary task is to destroy the supplies, not to annihilate the enemy. The most effective tactic is for each demon-hunting squad to launch a separate raid."

Yang Wenzhao immediately raised an objection: "But this way, each demon-hunting team might be besieged by powerful demons. How should a six-person team deal with danger?"

“With the strength of this year’s Demon Hunter Team,” Moonshine interrupted, “we can hold our own against a seventh-tier demon for a while, enough to last until a nearby team comes to our aid.”

“Don’t forget,” Moonbeam added finally, “this is both a mission and a trial. What we need to do is complete the mission as much as possible and earn as many merits as possible!”

Upon hearing Yuehui's analysis, everyone looked enlightened.

As members of a demon hunter group, who wouldn't yearn for more merits? However, when acting collectively, different teams are more likely to hinder each other.

After clarifying their thoughts, the various demon-hunting groups quickly agreed on an ambush plan and divided up their respective attack areas.

Soon, the group quietly dispersed and disappeared into the hilly area within a radius of two miles.

As the first rays of dawn painted the eastern sky red, a winding procession came into view.

Eight Zelin dual-wielding demons were seen pulling a large cart together, slowly moving it towards the ambush area.

The entire convoy consisted of about two hundred such grain transport wagons, all towed by the Twin-Sword Demon.

On both sides of the convoy, strong dual-wielding demons and demon-eyed sorcerers patrolled back and forth, with a guard force of about a thousand demons.

One of the grain wagons was particularly eye-catching, surrounded by six eight-eyed sorcerers and four emerald-green dual-blade demons, who were on high alert.

"There's something good!"

Upon seeing this scene, Yuehui immediately had this thought in her mind.

He quickly used telepathy to warn Cai'er and the others: "Be careful, there's a tough opponent in our ambush area."

He then described in detail the special grain transport vehicle guarded by six eight-eyed sorcerers and four emerald-green dual-blade demons.

"Commander, you just said you had something good?" Wang Yuanyuan licked her lips, her eyes sparkling.

"Hey, the leader clearly emphasized that there were powerful demons protecting them, why did you automatically filter that out?" Lu Xi couldn't help but complain.

"So what? Let's just do it!" Wang Yuanyuan excitedly stroked the surface of the Giant Spirit God's Shield. "My great shield is itching for action!"

"Alright, prepare for action." Yuehui commanded in a deep voice, "Haochen, summon Haoyue, Hanyu, protect Ying'er. On my command, everyone apply buffs!"

"Yes!"

The first-class demon hunter squad immediately entered combat mode.

...

About fifteen minutes later, the demon race's grain transport team, in a long, serpentine formation, slowly passed through the area where Moonbeam and the others were lying in ambush.

Moonlight suddenly drew the Thunder Sword, and lightning flashed across its blade.

As Little Ragnarok sang in her clear Elvish voice, wisps of lightning danced on the sword's edge. "Attack!"

With a roar from Yuehui, the raised Thunder Sword summoned heavenly lightning.

"Thunderbolt! Lightning Strike!"

Several thick bolts of lightning descended from the sky, instantly turning dozens of dual-wielding demons into charred remains.

At the same time, the demon hunter groups lying in ambush on both sides launched an attack.

Knights in heavy armor charged forward, warriors leaped down wielding their blades, and assassins appeared and disappeared like ghosts, all attacking the demon supply convoy below from the hilltop.

On the rear lines, summoning incantations echoed, magical elements surged, and sacred prayers resounded.

The multicolored attacks poured down like a torrential rain, completely engulfing the demon's grain transport team.

On the Moonlit side, Wang Yuanyuan wielded the Giant Spirit God's Shield and charged into the horde of dual-wielding demons as if they were nothing!
Wherever the giant shield swept, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and severed limbs were scattered all over the ground. In the blink of an eye, dozens of dual-wielding demons perished under the shield.

Although Cai'er wasn't as bold and unrestrained as Wang Yuanyuan, every time her dark gold dagger flashed, a double-sword demon would fall to the ground.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The magic-eyed sorcerer guarding the grain wagons finally unleashed his power, sending dozens of dark purple magic orbs hurtling in from all directions.

"Holy light shines!"

Han Yu shouted in a deep voice, and a golden light screen instantly unfolded, enveloping the entire Warrior-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 1. The demonic light bullets bombarded the light shield, only stirring up golden ripples.

Seeing this, Lu Xi, who was about to cast a spell, silently put down his staff.

(I was here first, so why are you so skilled?)

After sending out a magical signal, Yuehui, along with Long Haochen and the others, rushed straight for the special grain transport vehicle.

The group advanced with unstoppable momentum, and in the blink of an eye, they annihilated all ten fifth-tier demons who were guarding them.

"What's inside? Demon specialties?" Wang Yuanyuan examined the grain transport vehicle.

"Whatever it is, take it if you can, destroy it if you can't!" Lu Xi said decisively.

"boom--"

Just then, the special grain transport vehicle suddenly exploded, and a blood-red torrent rushed towards Moonlight!

Lu Xi's pupils suddenly contracted:

(Oh no! There's no time to cast a spell!)

Long Haochen instinctively wanted to activate the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace, but found that the attack was in pure energy form, and the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace could not function at all.

Han Yu was currently guarding Lu Xi and Chen Ying'er, too far from the moonlight, and the attack came too suddenly for him to react.

Cai'er, who had been guarding Yuehui's side, keenly sensed the danger. She flashed forward and lunged at Yuehui, trying to knock him away from the danger zone.

However, just as she was about to touch the moonlight, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her slender waist.

"Thor's Embrace!"

Without hesitation, Yuehui activated 500 points of internal spiritual power, instantly activating the life-saving skill of the legendary magic robe.

"boom--!!!"

The crimson torrent crashed violently against the shield flashing with dazzling lightning, stirring up ripples of energy, but ultimately failed to break through the lightning barrier's defenses.

In that split second, everyone finally saw the true form of the monster hidden in the grain wagon—

That was a colossal creature, standing six meters tall!

Its wolf-like body was covered with bulging muscles, and it had a pair of giant wings like a griffin spread out behind it, while its tail was dragged by a snake tail covered with scales.

Most terrifying were its blood-red eyes, and its entire body was shrouded in a nauseating, bloody red light.

Seventh-Order Bloodthirsty Beta!

The members of the Demon Hunter team felt a chill run down their spines, and a solemn expression appeared on their faces.

However, what they didn't know was that at this moment, the heart of this infamous seventh-tier demon was also filled with turbulent waves.
