Chapter 262: First Battle, Powerful Source Sand This group of Class 2 demons was Horn Demons. Horn Demons were considered Class 2 dimensional lifeforms with the most notorious reputation in the abyss dimensional rift. Each of the Horn Demons had a giant spiral-shaped horn with a strange fire pattern at the horn’s tip. Each Horn Demon was about the size of a bull. Its thick and robust limbs allowed the Horn Demon to have shocking power when charging. When the Horn Demon charged forward, the horn with the fire pattern would release withering sparks after smashing into the target. At the same time, the Horn Demon could also spit out flames with withering properties. The Horn Demon had great physical strength. Even if it was only equivalent to a Silver fey, its physical strength was comparable with some of the Gold feys’. Moreover, it could spit out withering flames. Its extraordinary physical strength and the withering flames allowed the Horn Demon to have individual combat strength that was considered at the top of all Class 2 dimensional lifeforms. That was why the complicated genetic model of the Class 2 Horn Demons had its benefits. However, such a complicated genetic model wasn’t that suitable for Liu Jie’s Insect Queen and Lin Yuan’s Source Sand. If Liu Jie’s Insect Queen was to consume an insect species fey with a complicated genetic model like the Horn Demon, the amount of spiritual power required to reproduce such a complicated genetic model would be significantly higher than other insect feys. Similarly, for Lin Yuan’s Gold/Fantasy Source Sand, the Gravel Spirit Acceptance could accept the Heart-Penetrating Ironline, which was equivalent to Platinum III/Flawless. However, if it accepted a Horn Demon, the Gravel Spirit Acceptance could only accept a Horn Demon that was at the pinnacle of Gold/Flawless. The Gold/Flawless Horn Demon might be extremely powerful among the Gold/Flawless feys, but as compared to the Platinum III/Flawless Heart-Penetrating Ironline, there wasn’t a need to even compare them. The variety in attacks allowed the Horn Demon to become a dimensional lifeform that was proficient in both elemental magic and physical capability. However, the Heart-Penetrating Ironline had a very simple and single type of attack. It relied on its slender and hard ironline body to assassinate the target with shocking penetrative power. However, Lin Yuan had to admit that the pressure coming from this small group of Horn Demons felt as though it was stronger than a small wave of insects. It was obvious that the group of Horn Demons had noticed Lin Yuan. After seeing Lin Yuan, the bull-like Horn Demons let out strange but abnormally loud roars before they started charging at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan calmly reached out one hand while he watched the group of around 50 Horn Demons charging toward him. The moment Lin Yuan raised his hand, the ground underneath the Horn Demons collapsed. The purplish-black ground that was originally hard suddenly turned into something like quicksand. The quicksand immediately stopped the Horn Demons in their paths. The Horn Demons struggled desperately to break free inside the flowing quicksand. However, Lin Yuan raised his hand and formed a fist. The moment the fist was made, all the Horn Demons let out intense and painful mourns. Immediately after, the Horn Demons stopped struggling to break free from the quicksand. A thick and broad sword that was formed with bluish-black ferromanganese had suddenly appeared on each of the Horn Demons’ backs. Fifty bull-sized Horn Demons were all wrapped around by the Source Sand’s chain blade form. The quicksand could use the Source Sand’s Metal Consume Manifestation to form the chain blade from the sand immediately. The ferromanganese’s surface and also the abnormally sharp edge started to score large wounds on the Horn Demons’ bodies as they struggled violently. More wounds started to open as the Horn Demons continued to struggle, turning them into large pits. The ground open pits oozed out a massive amount of purplish-red blood, which was the abyss demons’ specialty. As soon as the blood flowed into the quicksand, they immediately vanished. Lin Yuan shook his head as these Horn Demons weren’t good enough as his training targets. Lin Yuan’s chain blade’s chain portion was immediately tightened up with a thought. In just a short moment, the bull-sized Horn Demons were no longer breathing. Lin Yuan stored all of the Horn Demons into his leaf-shaped fey storage box with a wave of his hand. A mosquito might be small, but it still had flesh. These Class 2 Horn Demons just happened to be very suitable to serve as food for the Bronze VI/Epic Red Thorn. At present, Red Thorn was no longer eating alien insects and had changed its preference to consuming abyss dimensional lifeforms. The flesh and blood of abyss dimensional lifeforms also contained powerful acidity. However, the acidic properties were different from the alien insects’ acid. Alien insects’ blood contained an acid that was extremely corrosive, but the acid in the abyss demons’ blood was like sulfur. Apart from corrosive properties, it also had a withering effect. When Red Thorn was at Elite grade, there was a certain negative effect when Red Thorn consumed abyss demons with the Mouth of Relinquish. But now that Red Thorn’s strength had increased, it wasn’t as difficult anymore when consuming abyss demon flesh. At the same time, the withering acid within the abyss demons’ blood allowed Red Thorn’s acid to have an additional effect. Actually, when Red Thorn started to consume abyss demons in large quantities and enhanced its own acid, it developed a resistance against the abyss demons’ withering flames. As a source-type life that could only evolve by consuming flesh and blood, it was slowly developing a resistance against flames with withering properties during the consumption process. Of course, the resistance to flames was only applicable to Red Thorn’s ortet. As for the ramets and child ramets, their resistance against flames was still inferior. However, Lin Yuan believed that if Red Thorn consumed more abyss demon flesh, the withering effects, as well as the resistance to flames, would constantly be enhanced. Simultaneously, the ability obtained by consuming abyss demons’ flesh might be brought out when Red Thorn released spores. The ability might be transferred onto the ramets and child ramets.
