"Boss, let's go in and peel off the skin of that nine-headed demon serpent first," Little dragon said resentfully.

  "No need. We just need to shout, and it will come out on its own," Li Lin smiled slightly. The nine-headed demon serpent, furious last time, would surely rush out immediately upon hearing his voice, and then they could directly engage it.

  As soon as these words fell, Li Lin looked up at the peaks and then shouted, "Nine-headed demon serpent, come out and face your death."

  The sound, mixed with true energy, echoed within the peaks, sending waves of sound far away, forming reverberations that lingered for a long time.

  At this moment, just as the echo fell, a huge roar instantly came...

  "Aow!"

  In an instant, the space suddenly shook violently. A roar burst forth from within the peaks, followed by a massive airflow sweeping in like a violent wind, causing ripples to spread in waves across the space.

  "Damned humans, I knew it was you the moment I heard the voice. I didn't expect you to dare provoke me here," the roar followed by a thunderous shout came from the peaks. The voice turned into sound waves and then spread out like ripples.

  Just as this shout ended, a massive flapping sound arose, carrying an astonishing force. Then, a gigantic monster appeared in the sky above. This monster was over four hundred meters long, covered with red scales, had five ferocious heads, ten eyes filled with fierce light, and a pair of crimson wings that spanned four hundred meters wide when extended.

  "Nine-headed demon serpent," Li Lin smiled slightly, eyeing the nine-headed demon serpent. Now, all five heads of the nine-headed demon serpent were of the same size, a symbol that it had advanced to the late fifth stage, its aura much stronger than before.

  The huge nine-headed demon serpent hovered in the sky. Li Xiao Bai was amazed at the sight. The monster's body was fierce, emanating a murderous aura that was somewhat heart-palpitating.

  Looking at the massive figure of the monster in the sky, Uncle Jiang merely glanced with a slight interest, not paying much attention, and Bai Ling, with her reduced stature, also casually glanced without much concern.

  The nine-headed demon serpent, with its ten giant eyes emitting fierce light, swept over Li Lin, Li Xiao Bai, and Uncle Jiang.

  "Damned humans, you brought help? No wonder you dared to come here. But today, I will make sure you cannot return," the fierce gaze fixed on Li Lin. Now that the nine-headed demon serpent had advanced to the late fifth stage, it was much more confident.

  "Aow!" As its words fell, a fierce glance swept across, and the nine-headed demon serpent roared proudly.

  "Hu hu!"

  Immediately, a series of breaths burst forth from the mountains, and faint roars of monsters could be heard. At the same time, the ground trembled, and dozens of massive auras soared into the sky. Flight-capable monsters rapidly approached, large flying monsters over a hundred meters in size, second and third stage monsters, totaling about two hundred.

  At this moment, on the ground, within the peaks, also came the sounds of thousands of monsters charging. There were over two hundred third-stage monsters, and the rest were second-stage monsters.

  Among these beasts, there were also five gigantic monsters, the largest being the two leading ones. The leading one, a giant ape over one hundred and fifty meters tall, lacked fur and was completely covered by a greenish-white carapace, resembling a stone ape.

  Another, nearly as large as the stone ape, had a green body, a single horn on its head, nostrils larger than a baby's, and fierce eyes. It wasn't as tall as the Stone Ape King, at one hundred and fifty meters, but its massive size spanned over four hundred meters.

  Li Lin raised an eyebrow; these were the Stone Ape King and the Single-Horned Demon Bull. From their aura, the Stone Ape King had advanced from the early fifth stage to the mid-fifth stage, and the Single-Horned Demon Bull, previously at the late fourth stage, had now reached the early fifth stage. It seemed the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent, Stone Ape King, and Single-Horned Demon Bull had all made breakthroughs.

  Apart from the Stone Ape King and Single-Horned Demon Bull on the ground, there was also a mid-fourth stage monster and two early-fourth stage monsters.

  "Roar roar!"

  Over a thousand monsters rampaged, their roars unceasing. This place was indeed the main base of the monsters in the Misty Mountain Range.

  "Master, so many monsters," Li Xiao Bai said, naturally curious and amazed at the sight of over a thousand large monsters, their aura and the spectacle imaginable. The commotion in the monsters' base also attracted the attention of nearby mercenary groups.

  "Human, you are doomed today. I will tear you apart alive," the nine-headed demon serpent roared triumphantly, having found its enemy after several years.

  At this moment, the nine-headed demon serpent thought of tearing the humans before it apart, feeling a sense of relief, completely unaware that its tragic days were about to begin.

  "Hmph, nine-headed demon serpent, today I must peel off your skin," Little dragon's small body had already leaped onto the head of the Inverse Scale Demon Peng, standing tall, with anger spreading in his eyes.

  "Little one, you have the aura of a Demon Emperor. I won't deal with you; you can leave. The human before me is my target," the nine-headed demon serpent said to the small Little dragon, feeling the aura on Little dragon last time, thus not daring to act. That aura, which made its soul tremble, filled it with fear.

  "Nine-headed demon serpent, I'm afraid you won't have that chance," Li Lin smiled slightly. Although the nine-headed demon serpent had advanced to the late fifth stage with a high bloodline, it was similar to the Taiyin Demon Rabbit and the Blood Jade Demon Tiger. The nine-headed demon serpent's breakthrough was recent; its strength had not been at the late fifth stage for long, probably comparable to the Taiyin Demon Rabbit.

  The Inverse Scale Demon Peng had long been at the peak of the late fifth stage, more than enough to handle it alone, plus the Taiyin Demon Rabbit, the nine-headed demon serpent was definitely in a dire situation now.

  "Damned human, I will make you regret your arrogance," the nine-headed demon serpent suddenly roared, its huge figure swiftly flapping its wings, then charging directly.

  "Inverse Scale Demon Peng, attack," Little dragon couldn't help but shout first.

  "Gaga!"

  In an instant, a roar pierced through the clouds, sounding from the back of the Skywing Snow Lion. The Inverse Scale Demon Peng, having reduced its size and concealed its aura, suddenly leaped, and as it did, its body rapidly enlarged. Its massive body, even larger than the nine-headed demon serpent, spread its might, unreservedly pressing down on the Nine Heavens Demon Serpent.

  The nine-headed demon serpent, about to attack Li Lin, suddenly saw the Inverse Scale Demon Peng in front of it, felt the immense aura and might, and its attack involuntarily halted.

  "Nine-headed demon serpent, seeking death." At this moment of hesitation from the nine-headed demon serpent, the Inverse Scale Demon Peng did not hesitate to charge forward, its immense might causing wind blades to slice directly at the nine-headed demon serpent.

  "Late fifth-stage peak." The nine-headed demon serpent was shocked, realizing the opponent's aura far surpassed its own, and its huge body quickly retreated, saying, "Inverse Scale Demon Peng, why do you help humans?"

  "It's the Demon King's boss. If you want to kill the Demon King's boss, then you must die," the Inverse Scale Demon Peng shouted loudly, its huge body closely pursuing. Little dragon, at this moment, having grown to a hundred meters in size on the back of the Inverse Scale Demon Peng, with a majestic posture, said, "Inverse Scale Demon Peng, chase. I want to skin this nine-headed demon serpent alive and chop off its five heads."

  "I dare you." The nine-headed demon serpent, also a Demon King within the Misty Mountain Range, had its own imposing aura. Knowing it might be difficult to deal with the opponent but not without the strength to fight, immediately stopped retreating. Its huge body now filled with murderous intent, one of the heads suddenly spewed out a massive flame, tearing through the space in front of it, leaving behind searing space ripples.

  "Hu hu!" The Inverse Scale Demon Peng took flight, its wings beating rapidly, creating a massive tornado that twisted space and dispersed the terrifying flames, friction causing sparks to fly like fireworks.

  "Aow!"

  Frustrated by the ineffective attack, the nine-headed demon serpent roared, its five giant heads also roaring continuously. The body of the nine-headed demon serpent twisted bizarrely, its gaze dark and focused on the Inverse Scale Demon Peng. Suddenly, with a 'swoosh', a crimson light flashed like lightning, breaking through the void in an instant, revealing itself in front of the Inverse Scale Demon Peng—a terrifyingly large tail.

  This tail, carrying formidable strength, pressed down fiercely.

  "Back off," Little dragon shouted loudly. Without waiting for the Inverse Scale Demon Peng to act, it opened its huge mouth, and between breaths, a terrifyingly hot golden flame spewed out, burning the space to suddenly contract, spreading a scorching red color at lightning speed across the space ripples.

  "Hu hu!"

  At this moment, the nine-headed demon serpent's giant tail was immediately swept by Little dragon's flame.

  "Aow!" Wherever the golden flame passed, the nine-headed demon serpent immediately let out a pained scream. The thick red scales on its tail suddenly felt an unbearable scorching pain from the temperature, causing the tail to suffer excruciatingly.
