The Rock-Beast pounded the ground several times, and no one dared to make a move. After a few seconds, there was still no attack. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, all the stones in the cave slowly floated up and gathered together, gradually taking shape. Su Yang looked and saw that they were stone figures of similar size to the Rock-Beast. With a roar from the Rock-Beast, the stone figures seemed to be given life and swung their stone arms to attack the people in the cave.

This stone golem possessed immense strength, destroying everything in its path with every strike. Lin Anlan, currently in her demon form, continued her relentless attacks, seemingly unaffected by the newly formed stone golem. Zhang Wenbo glanced at her, gritted his teeth, and, as if having made up his mind, shouted to the rest of the team: "All of you, transform into demons!"

The remaining team members exchanged glances without saying much. The next second, the remaining four members of the Blood Squad began to transform into demons. Four blood bubbles appeared and slowly burst, from which emerged four demons in a state identical to Lin Anlan's. Since everyone had transformed into demons, the balance of the battle seemed to have shifted. The Rock Beast and the Stone Golem fought against the five demons. For a moment, the space was filled with roars and explosions. Countless fragments of stone shot in all directions, even sparking as they hit the stone walls.

Compared to the other demonized team members, Lin Anlan was almost insane at the moment, attacking the Rock Beast as if she had lost her mind. From the beginning, she used arrows combined with elemental power, to later outputting pure elemental power. Every attack ignored the stone golem and rushed towards the Rock Beast.

"Judging from this little girl's condition, she'll break down in no more than 5 minutes. We don't even know if she'll be able to turn back into a human then," Die'er concluded after observing for a while.

"What's going on with this demon?" Su Yang naturally heard Yuwen Rongxuan's exclamation, but he didn't quite understand what a demon was.

"The demon race was originally a product of the dragon race's insane experiments in spiritual fusion. In the end, they are still human, only their minds were distorted and their physical forms underwent various changes. But in the end, they still tended to stabilize. There have been many wars between humans and demons in the past, which ultimately came down to differences in ideology. As for the demons, we have to start with a remarkable woman. The story is too long, I'll tell you when I have a chance. Anyway, they are a rare species born from the union of humans and demons." Die'er gave a brief introduction, but omitted the details of the story. However, Su Yang really wanted to hear the story, but in this situation, he had to restrain his curiosity.

"This Blood Squad is actually a demon squad!? This is definitely a formidable force for the Empire, so why is the City Lord ordering us to kill them?" Yuwen Rongxuan fell into deep thought, then muttered to himself, "Could it be that the City Lord has already betrayed the Empire!?"

Seeing her brother deep in thought, Yuwen Zuoqing couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing..." Hearing his sister's words, Yuwen Rongxuan came back to his senses and continued to observe the battle on the field.

As the demonized Blood Squad continued their attack, the stone golem was shattered, and each member of the squad suffered considerable injuries. Fortunately, they had completely defeated the stone golem. However, Lin Anlan's situation was dire. Several large holes had appeared in the rocky body of the Rock-Beast, from which lava flowed continuously. Lin Anlan was now on the verge of death, lying on the ground struggling to stand up, but he had no strength left. He lay there panting, occasionally spitting out blood from his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenbo and the others immediately came to help. The healer restored Lin Anlan's health, while the other three attacked the Rock-Beast together, determined to completely destroy it. The battle resumed, but as guards, pioneers, and stalkers, their destructive power was not as strong as that of the sharpshooters who specialized in destructive power, so they were also caught in a tough battle.

Lin Anlan had completely fallen into a coma. In her hazy state, she seemed to have returned to her hometown and seen herself as a child. She was catching fish by the river, still innocent and carefree. Lost in thought, she heard a voice calling from afar, "Lan'er, come quick, come back for dinner!" "Okay, I'm coming!" Little Anlan responded energetically, clutching the fish in her hand, and ran towards home across the grass. Lin Anlan followed, and finally saw the owner of the voice at the end of the path. It was her mother, whom she had been longing for day and night, just as she remembered. Her mother was kneeling on the ground, embracing little Anlan, gently stroking her hair, and smiling at Lin Anlan, "You've come too? Come in quickly, the food is getting cold."

Lin Anlan was stunned for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes, as if she wanted to use her tears to release all the grievances she had suffered over the years: "Mom!" After crying out, Lin Anlan rushed into her mother's arms.

"My good child, you've suffered so much." Her mother's gentle tone made Lin Anlan let down her guard, and she cried even harder.

"Good child, come inside with Mom." With that, the mother took Lin Anlan's arm, wanting to lead her into the house. Unbeknownst to her, little Anlan was standing on the path Lin Anlan had come from, staring straight at her. Lin Anlan looked at little Anlan, then at the dark house in front of her, and hesitated for a moment.

"She's about to break down, and the demon race is about to have another one added to its ranks," Die'er said to Su Yang, who had been observing Lin Anlan lying on the ground receiving treatment.

"Huh? How do you know? Isn't she injured and lying there receiving treatment?" Su Yang asked, puzzled. He had experienced the feeling of mental exhaustion before, but he had never experienced the mental breakdown of a demon.

"Su Yang, do you still remember why I asked you to travel through time?" Die'er suddenly asked.

"Because without a suitable master, you will naturally dissipate when the time comes."

“Yes, it’s fortunate that I met you. For my own selfish desire to continue living, I will do everything I can to help you live safely, so sometimes you have to follow my arrangements,” Die’er said.

“Okay, don’t worry, I will do everything I can to ensure our survival,” Su Yang replied firmly.

"Alright, go and rescue that girl."

"Huh? I'll save you? How? I don't have wood element, and I'm not a healer." Su Yang was momentarily stunned.

"Listen to my instructions..." Die'er whispered a few words to Su Yang.

At this moment, in Lin Anlan's mental space, her mother was pulling her hand even tighter, while little Anlan stood not far behind her, shaking her head. The mother, who was originally kind and gentle, had changed her expression and said in a slightly shrill voice, "Lan'er, what's wrong? I'm your mother! Come on, come home with me!"

Lin Anlan sensed something was wrong and struggled to pull her arm away, but her mother's strength was astonishing. She dragged her little by little into the dark room. Gradually, Lin Anlan was left with only one arm gripping the door, trying her best not to go in. But as time went on, she seemed to lose strength and was about to let go of the door. Seeing this, little Anlan could only squat on the ground and cry.

Just as Lin Anlan was slowly losing consciousness, she seemed to feel her hand being grasped by another strong hand in the darkness. In an instant, she was pulled outwards by a large amount of force. The person who came was Su Yang!
