Chapter 488 Newly Formed Volcano
The demons of the South Abyss Alliance had never discovered Illidan, and it was even more impossible for them to detect his presence after Illidan entered the volcanic area before them. And more importantly, after the large army entered the volcanic area, the demons of the South Abyss Alliance continued to suffer some terrifying events.
Have you ever experienced that when you were crossing a mountain, the crater in front of you suddenly boiled and roared and began to erupt? Have you ever experienced that when you were crossing a canyon, countless magma suddenly flowed down from the surrounding mountains and quickly submerged the canyon? After the demon troops of the South Abyss Alliance entered the volcanic area, this kind of situation was commonplace.
And more importantly, even though it had been three days since they entered the volcanic area, the enemies that the demon kings expected to appear still did not appear. For so long, the demons of the South Abyss Alliance were still struggling with the harsh environment.
The demon kings who had previously asked for retreat showed up again, and they were really fed up with this situation. This time, the demon kings who had remained neutral last time also showed signs of agreeing to retreat. After all, it was too aggrieved to keep losing soldiers in the volcanic lava and unable to fight the enemy with real weapons.
Seeing the public outraged, Demon King Murphy finally had to grit his teeth and compromise: if he still couldn't find the troops of the Lava Kingdom within five days, then retreat!
In theory, no one would want to meet the enemy early, because it means possible death. But now Demon King Murphy has been praying in his heart that even if the Flame Demon Emperor directly attacks, there must be an enemy.
Otherwise, if he retreats like this after five days, it won't be a big deal for other demon kings, but it, the "leader" of the Nanyuan Alliance and the initiator of this expedition, will suffer. Not only will his prestige be damaged, but he may not even be able to sit on the position of leader - those demon kings whose strength has been damaged in the Lava Kingdom will definitely blame it for the loss.
And Demon King Murphy's prayer really worked. After searching in the volcanic area for another two days, the missing enemy finally showed up - a group of tens of thousands of fire elves.
Compared to the more than 200,000 demon troops of the Nanyuan Alliance, these tens of thousands of fire elves are obviously not a strong force. But what came with the fire elves was the magma wave rolling and flowing between the volcanoes.
Just like the last time they set a trap and secretly eliminated 50,000 demons of the Nanyuan Alliance, the fire elves used their innate abilities to give the demon troops of the Nanyuan Alliance a big gift. Moreover, in this area full of volcanoes, this gift is even bigger than the last time.
Fortunately, after losing a large number of troops in the trap last time, the demon kings were already very alert. Tens of thousands of fire elves, carrying the magma gushing out from countless volcanic craters, were quite powerful, and the demon kings in charge of vigilance discovered this terrifying scene from dozens of kilometers away.
In this lava country where even the air is extremely hot, the demon kings in charge of vigilance could only take a breath of hot air and quickly send a signal. Fortunately, this situation had been anticipated before, and the Nanyuan Alliance demon army had also encountered many sudden volcanic eruptions in the volcanic area, so the reaction was still very fast.
Although the surrounding volcanoes still looked dangerous, they were much better than the raging magma waves coming from the front. Under the command of the demon commanders, the demon troops were still dispersed in an orderly manner, climbing up the heights of volcanoes to avoid the upcoming "flood".
At the same time, more than 30 demon kings also dispersed, each responsible for blocking the crater of a volcano. If they did not do so, the fire elves would definitely detonate these volcanoes where the demon troops were avoiding the magma waves.
With the help of the demon kings and the cooperation of the upper demons, although this part of the volcano trembled after the fire elves approached, it did not erupt after all. This is also because the fire elves extracted too much underground magma from the distant volcano, causing the magma in this area to be replenished to other places. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to block the crater.
It stands to reason that with such a quick response from the Nanyuan Alliance troops, there would be no losses. After all, the magma wave is not a flood. When it flows on the ground, it will definitely not remain in a fluid state like it does underground, but will continue to solidify.
At the beginning, the magma wave coming from afar was just as the demons imagined. Although it kept rushing forward, the edges were also constantly solidifying, making the wave crest gradually lower.
But just when everyone from the demon king to the ordinary demon soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the crisis would be over with timely response, something unexpected happened.
The tens of thousands of fire elves retreated and dived below when they were still a few kilometers away from the gathering place of the Nanyuan Alliance demon troops. Although they were carrying a large amount of magma, they did not dare to rush into the more than 200,000 demon troops led by more than 30 demon kings.
When the magma wave really hit the location of the dozen volcanoes where the Nanyuan Alliance demon troops were located, the originally high waves could no longer overflow the mountainside of the volcano, let alone threaten the demon troops that had already moved to the mountainside.
The outflow of magma caused the volcanoes to boil and tremble again, but they could not erupt under the full suppression of the upper-level demons.
However, the existing volcanoes were suppressed and could not erupt, but it did not mean that new volcanoes could not. In the shocked eyes of all the demons, a bulge suddenly appeared in the magma wave flowing from the middle of the volcano where they took refuge.
Just from the shape of the bulge just now, this bulge was surprisingly like a mountain! The demons were not wrong. What rose from the magma wave was a new volcano.
Not far away from the feet was the hot magma that was still flowing. Although the demon soldiers were numerous, they could not stop the formation of this new volcano. The upper demons and demon kings who were able to fly over were mostly trying their best to suppress the eruption of these volcanoes where the demon troops were avoiding the magma, and they could not spare their hands for the time being.
When they made some adjustments and let several demon kings spare their hands to investigate the situation at the magma wave where the accident occurred, the new volcano had been fully formed in such a short time.
The demon kings suddenly became alert. If it was really a new volcano formed naturally in this volcanic area, it would definitely not have such a fast formation speed. In other words, someone must be behind this! Thinking of the tens of thousands of fire elves before, the demon kings were even more certain of this.
