Chapter 214: Demonic Subjugation War

"In a cave one hundred miles west of the Imperial City, adventurers have discovered traces of a large number of demons. Now the Adventurer's Guild has issued an emergency commission to mobilize adventurers to defeat the demons. Our mission is to kill ten sickle demons. If you bring us the sickles on their heads, you can level up."

Luo Qiu held a parchment scroll and asked curiously, "Aren't demons supposed to live in the Demon Realm? Although the space passage to the Demon Realm has been opened, could it be that a demon has crossed over so soon?"

"No, it could also be a demon that has been stranded here a long time ago." Meng Li hates demons so much, and the hatred for vampires is not so easy to forget.

"Quite a few adventurers have already gone there. Let's hurry up and see who is behind this." Luo Qiu put away the parchment scroll and smiled slightly.

Ever since he entered the archives room of the Kendenia Empire, his understanding of this alien world has skyrocketed. If there were monsters and demon beasts, that would be understandable, as wandering monsters and demon beasts often come to places where people gather, because for them, humans are the best lunch.

But demons are different. Demons are living beings that live in another world and will not appear easily. Not to mention the high-level demons, the sudden appearance of those low-level little demons that only have a little instinct must be manipulated by someone behind the scenes.

I just don’t know who is the person behind this and what his purpose is.

Originally, Mengli didn't take this mission seriously, but since it involved a demon, she became serious. Maybe it was a familiar guy causing trouble.

The devil is coming, this is the best opportunity to become famous, so the adventurers who receive the mission are very excited. They can brag to their friends in the future that they are also people who have defeated devils, which is absolutely a proud thing. In addition, the reward given by the Adventurer's Guild this time is not low, so they are naturally more excited.

Along the way, Luo Qiu and Meng Li had seen no less than a hundred adventurers, but they were moving so fast that the other adventurers couldn't see them clearly.

Outside the cave, there are already many adventurers stationed here. Some of them are so skilled and brave that they rush straight in, while more of them are waiting for the arrival of the main force.

Fighting against demons is no joke and requires more caution than fighting against monsters, because records about demons are mostly seen in books and not many people have actually fought against demons.

Of course, Luo Qiu and Meng Li were naturally the kind of people who were both skilled and courageous. They rushed directly into the cave without alerting other adventurers.

"Luo Qiu, look there!" Meng Li said, pointing to a place ahead, after they had walked forward for a while.

"I saw it. That one seems to be a little eye demon?" Luo Qiu saw a group of adventurers fighting fiercely with a small demon.

This demon has no nose or mouth, only a pair of small eyes, so it is called the little eye demon.

Its body is about the same size as an ordinary goblin, but its strength is much stronger. A team of bronze-level adventurers besieged a small beholder and were repeatedly put in danger.

You have to know that the little eye demon is just the weakest demon in the demon world, and it made it impossible for a team of human adventurers to conquer it for a long time.

"Let's go and complete our mission first, and then take a closer look at what happened."

"Ah."

The two of them ignored the little eye demon. With their sharp eyesight, they could see that although the little eye demon still looked very ferocious, it was just struggling in its death throes and would die at the hands of those adventurers sooner or later.

As the two went deeper into the cave, the demons that appeared became more powerful. Along the way, there were the weakest little eye demon, to the slightly stronger goat-horned demon, and then to Luo Qiu and Meng Li’s current target, the sickle demon.

Scythe Demon, as the name suggests, has two sharp horns on its head like sickles, and its hands are also in the shape of sickles. When it swings, a flash of blade flashes across, and ordinary armor cannot withstand its slashing. The four silver-level adventurers are now forced into a desperate situation by the two sickle demons.

The 'magic shield' that the only magician had cast for all his teammates was broken by the sickle demon with just one blow, and the two warriors were also seriously injured. There were many horizontal and vertical knife marks on their armor, and each knife mark cut into the flesh. Black and purple blood flowed on the hideous wounds, and the two men almost lost their ability to fight.

Once the remaining magicians and thieves get close to the Scythe Demon, their fate is predictable.

When the magician girl saw a sickle demon approaching her, she was frightened and trembling no matter how calm she was usually. This was a demon. Legend has it that if one died at the hands of a demon, even his soul would be devoured by it and he would never find peace.

Behind her was an uneven, cold wall. When the magician girl saw the deadly sickle slashing towards her neck, she could only let out a scream to release her fear.

"The first one."

The magician girl suddenly heard the voice of a strange man. She looked up and saw a shocking scene.

The pair of sickles on the sickle demon's arms were torn off at some point, and the terrible sickle demon fell to the ground lifeless, dying just like that.

"This thing is useless." Material of this level is almost the same as garbage to Luo Qiu. He threw the pair of sickles aside, pulled off the pair of horns on the top of the sickle demon's head and put them away. He was going to hand them over to the Adventurer's Guild.

Meng Li also easily killed the sickle demon and rescued the pale-faced thief.

"Let's go." From beginning to end, Luo Qiu and Meng Li did not speak to anyone in the adventure team. After getting the quest items, the two of them flew deeper into the cave again.

"Who are they? Are they really just silver-level and gray-steel-level adventurers?" The warrior said with a wry smile after he regained some strength.

"Who knows? Don't think too much. They are not on the same level as us. Look, they don't even take away such precious materials." The thief picked up a pair of sickles and looked at the magical aura emanating from the sickles with joy.

"Let's get out of here quickly. We were too reckless this time. If those two adults hadn't passed by, I'm afraid we would all have died at the hands of the devil." The soldier said with a little fear.

"Bertha, what are you looking at? Let's go!" the teammates urged.

"Ah? Oh." The magician Bertha withdrew her gaze from the depths of the cave and left with her teammates without saying a word, but deep in her heart, a figure remained.

"Six, seven, plus the three from your side, done, the advanced mission is completed." For these two people who can almost be considered as cheats, the mission of the Adventurer's Guild is not challenging at all.

Of course, what Luo Qiu and Meng Li care about is not this, but what is hidden behind this strange cave.

"Luo Qiu, why do you know the route inside this cave? Have you been here before?" Meng Li asked curiously while the two were enjoying the lunch boxes prepared by Shenhong.

"Of course not. I have a skill that allows me to sense the general situation of the entire cave. From the moment I came in, I felt that there was a place where the magic fluctuations were very unstable. I think the source is probably there."
