Gu Qingshan ran swiftly through the forest. When he saw a huge piece of empty land, he then carefully went around it.
After he had run several hundred meters out, he came to another piece of empty land.
Gu Qingshan paused for a moment, then went around the empty land again.
After walking for a while, he pushed the dense branches in front of him aside, and there lay yet another piece of empty land.
He looked out and realized that there were random pieces of empty land everywhere.
Gu Qingshan exhaled, then clenched his teeth and leaped to a higher place to look.
He raised his military bow and shot an arrow toward the ground.
The arrow stabbed deeply into the surface of the ground, and only its feathers could be seen.
After a while, a human face the size of a football field appeared on the surface of the ground.
The human face spat the arrow out and stared at Gu Qingshan. It asked in a low and slow voice, “How… did you… know… I… was… here?”
Gu Qingshan looked at the other party up and down, then said, “The mud is too fresh.”
“Fresh… what does… that mean?” There was a confused expression on the human face.
This was a demon that moved along the ground—an Earth-traveling Demon.
It could naturally withstand some attacks from Elemental Arts Experts, and if it ran into a sword cultivator, it would just disappear into the ground.
Ground Escape was a powerful Magical Power, and very few were able to grasp this power.
Earth-traveling demons seemed to be able to make armies fall before them very easily, and they were once a great headache to human cultivators.
It had taken a very long time for the players to discover that it had a fatal flaw: it wasn’t very intelligent.
As long as someone said something that could pique the interest of an Earth-travelling Demon, the Earth-travelling Demon would think it was true.
So Gu Qingshan replied, “You should bring some mud along from where you came from; then, it would be the same shade of brown as your body.
He continued, “If you did that, then I wouldn’t have been able to discover you. In fact, nobody would be able to discover you.”
The human face on the ground said, “Nobody… would be able… to discover me? Rea…lly?”
“Rea…lly?”
“Rea…lly?”
“Rea…lly?”
“Rea…lly?”
Countless similar voices started speaking at the same time.
Gu Qingshan tried his best to stay calm as he stood on the tree branch he was on and looked out.
There were countless giant faces emerging from the surface of the ground. There was some excitement on their faces as they looked at Gu Qingshan at the same time.
There were so many human faces densely packed together, they seemed to cover the entire mountain.
This was an army of Earth-travelling Demons, a core strength of the demon army.
Faceless Giants were powerful but few in number. If the demons wanted to surround their enemy, they still had to send out an army of Earth-travelling Demons.
“Of course it’s true. Nobody would find you,” Gu Qingshan laughed loudly as he looked around him. “If you don’t believe me, you can bring the mud over and try, I’ll wait for you here.”
The human face looked excited and raring to go. It said, “All right, you… wait for me… here.”
With that, the human face sank into the ground and disappeared very quickly.
“I’m… going too.”
“I’m… going too.”
“I’m… going too.”
“I’m… going too.”
One giant human face after another giant human face disappeared from the surface of the ground and went far, far away.
These demons must have come from the huge demon base camp that was thousands of kilometers away. So based on their usual traveling speed, these Earth-traveling Demons would probably require quite a bit of time before they would come back here.
The moment the Earth-travelling Demons left, Gu Qingshan turned and immediately made a run for it.
