As time went by, the number of secondary demons attacking Yang Yu and his group did not decrease, but increased instead.
The attributes of lesser demons vary, but the weakest one has the strength of a quasi-S-class adventurer.
Most of the lesser demons have very strange appearances.
Some look like distorted and enlarged versions of creatures; some look like stitched-together beasts made from several creatures; and some look like clay dolls made by a three-year-old child.
Due to their different forms, the attack methods of secondary demons are even more bizarre.
There is no effective template to deal with these demons. Everyone can only rely on their own adaptability to deal with the demons that come over.
"[Holy Barrier]"
"[Solidified Holy Light]"
The priests built a high wall with holy light in an attempt to stop the demon's attack.
Some lesser demons touched the high wall made of holy light and quickly withdrew their hands as if they had touched a ball of burning flame.
But some lesser demons were not afraid of the holy light at all. They raised their hands and punched the high walls woven by the priests.
Even though their hands were burned by the golden light, the lesser demons who were not afraid of the holy light swung their fists again and again, smashing them on the shields and knocking open the holy light protection of the priests.
The members of the expedition team came to support the priest troops, but the lesser demons acted too quickly and grabbed several priests, preparing to put them in their mouths.
Ias pulled the bowstring, and a shining arrow of light flew out from her hand and flew towards the lesser demon who had captured the priest.
The dazzling arrow of light split into two in the air, blasting off the arms of the two lesser demons respectively.
The priest who was caught by the two lesser demons fell to the ground, struggling to escape.
Not all pastors are so lucky to be rescued.
A lesser demon opened its bloody mouth, threw a priest into its mouth before he could react, and started chewing him.
Not only priests, but also members of the expedition team fighting against lesser demons would be caught by the lesser demons, put into their mouths, bitten and swallowed if they were not careful.
The companions who had been with each other day and night were swallowed by the devil. Some people roared and attacked the secondary devil, trying to rescue their companions from the secondary devil's mouth.
However, not everyone has the strength to resist the secondary demons, and the members of the expedition team who rushed over were easily knocked away by the demons.
Yang Yu, who was not far away, lent a hand and caught the member who was knocked away.
The situation is critical. Every time one person is missing, the pressure on the expedition team will increase.
Those who can be saved should naturally be saved.
While ensuring that the formation was not disrupted, Yang Yu launched fierce attacks again and again on the secondary demons that ate people.
However, even after defeating the lesser demon and cutting open its abdomen, Yang Yu was able to rescue very few survivors.
People who are eaten by the secondary demon will continue to suffer damage in the secondary demon's stomach and be completely corroded by the secondary demon, and then...
A secondary demon who had devoured a member of the expedition team puffed up his cheeks and spat out the member he had previously devoured.
The secondary demons were not so kind and returned the people in Yang Yu's team to them.
The member of the expedition team that was spit out squirmed and stood up. His skin was blue, his eyes were empty, his body was stiff, and he opened his bloody mouth and pounced towards the other people nearby.
The lesser demon actually turned the people it swallowed into zombies!
Fortunately, holy light has an attack bonus against undead monsters.
The priests quickly organized people to purify the zombies, thus preventing these zombies from adding fuel to the already tense battlefield.
In addition to demons, black spirits also emerged from various locations in the city and joined the battle without anyone noticing.
Those black spirits sometimes launched deliberate sneak attacks, sometimes grabbed their feet, and did their best to cause damage.
The people who [Collect Corpses in Coffins] want to find those ghosts and annihilate them instantly. However, when they encounter danger, they quickly seek shelter from lesser demons and hide behind them.
If you want to deal with those black spirits, you have to deal with the secondary demons first, which is quite tricky.
Looking around, Yang Yu couldn't find any disciples of the Curse Sect on the battlefield.
They may be participating in a ritual to summon demons, or they may want to wait until the expedition is exhausted before taking action.
Yang Yu looked up at the sky and saw that the magician army led by Bai Jin was not in a good situation either.
There are quite a few lesser demons that can fly, and they launch despicable and swift attacks again and again.
The magician troops are already struggling to take care of themselves, so how can they have the time and energy to support Yang Yu and his team
Sometimes, even though you know the other party is just stalling for time, there is nothing you can do about it.
Yang Yu made a prompt decision and ordered the troops to stop moving towards the church and concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of them.
Without getting rid of these lesser demons, they will be unable to move forward.
The troops responded to Yang Yu quickly, bursting out with powerful momentum, and fought a desperate battle with the secondary demon.
As time went by, Yang Yu fully triggered the attribute bonuses of [Burning Blood] and [Fighting Spirit]. The effects of the two skills were further enhanced under the passive [Magic Resonance]. Yang Yu's current strength is no less than that of some hidden strongmen.
The skills and normal attacks are connected very smoothly. Yang Yu roams around every dangerous area, using the [Dark Breaking Edge] in his hand to do his best to clear all enemies in front of him.
After the priest's defense collapsed, Lingshan of [Drifting on the Isolated Island] instantly summoned a huge water column and protected countless people together with Luo Luosi.
Lang Yi and Luo Hasta made full use of this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the skills they had learned from the skill scrolls.
Lang Yi summoned a water clone, which rushed towards a lesser demon according to his will, and used the water blade in his hand to block the claws of a lesser demon.
Ro Hasta spews out a dark smoke like a cuttlefish, temporarily blinding the opponent and reducing the opponent's defense and speed.
Jiaoxi used the Holy Light skill to attack the lesser demon, causing heavy damage.
The cooperation of [Lonely Island] was also remarkable. It was precisely because of the existence of teams like [Lonely Island] that Yang Yu and his team's battle line did not collapse.
Time flowed slowly again, and Yang Yu observed that the number of secondary demons coming to support suddenly decreased.
These secondary demons are extremely similar to the black monsters Yang Yu encountered in the Elf Forest. I'm afraid they also require believers as sacrifices to be summoned.
The decrease in the number of lesser demons means that the Curse Cult can sacrifice fewer and fewer people.
Not everyone is worth sacrificing.
Some powerful people will only make sacrifices after they are defeated by their opponents.
That is to say
The real test may just be beginning.
Just as Yang Yu was thinking this, bishops and archbishops of the Curse Sect, dressed in simple clothes, appeared around him.
