Chapter 864: 864
Half a month later, ten thousand kilometers to the north of the Hundred Desolation Mountain, in a boundless red desert, a team of demon beasts was rushing at an amazingly high speed .
The demon beasts were all enormous in size . They were more than a hundred meters both in length and in width . The membranes all over their bodies bulged out, with pinky gas filled inside that made them look like balloons that were stitched together .
The gas stored inside the airbags was lighter than air, which made the beasts drift and fly in midair freely .
Such demon beasts were known as 'Land Whales' . Their prototype was the commonly-seen giant sandworms in the deserts of the Blood Demon Sector . The experts of the demon race refined and altered their genes over hundreds of years unceasingly . Finally, they developed airbags that were similar to the swimming bladder and could generate an exceedingly light gas naturally inside the body .
Below the body of the Land Whales were six rows of spurts that evolved from cloacae, which could alter the direction of the beasts by spurting feeble air currents . In the meantime, soft tentacles almost a hundred meters long were growing on the two sides and the back of the Land Whales' bodies . While grabbing the insects inside the desert, the tentacles could change the direction of the beast like paddles, accelerate and decelerate, and even hold down the passengers or goods .
Because their speed was high, and they were not picky about food, Land Whales had gradually become the most commonly-seen vehicles of the Blood Demon Sector across many territories .
The team of Land Whales had almost a hundred of them in total and stretched over dozens of kilometers long . The spurting air currents blew the red sand into the sky, as if a thick crimson dragon were rushing on the ground .
On the back of every Land Whale was dozens of densely distributed cabins whose edges were embedded with giant iron rings that were tied to the tentacles of the Land Whales tightly .
A lot of holes had been left on the wall of the giant cabins, from which screams and moans could vaguely be heard .
This was a slave-catching team that was returning with full loads .
In the Riot of Bloody Blade, a large batch of black-blood demons and chaotic-blood demons rebelled, and the fire of insurrection burned throughout the entire Blood Demon Sector .
While the leaders of the demon kingdoms were having a headache, it was a golden time for Void Turmoil City to take the advantage .
Before, the chaotic-blood demons could not be captured randomly, however lowly they were . A lot of excuses had to be made up first .
But now, it was much more convenient . With a claim that the victims were the accomplices of the Blade of Chaos, they were able to capture the chaotic-blood demons that were scattered in every corner of the Blood Demon Sector .
With the war between the Blood Demon Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector coming near, the demand on cannon fodder had soared . The bloody road leading to Void Turmoil City was always brimming with vehicles and screams .
The cabins on the back of every Land Whale had been fully packed . However, the slave-catchers were apparently quite experienced . They had divided the cabins with iron gauze . Although it was crammed, a minimum zone of activity was maintained so that the chaotic-blood demons captured would not be killed on a large scale .
Inside one of the cabins at the rear of the team of demon beasts, Li Yao and Jin Xinyue were locked in the same prison cell . Different from the other chaotic-blood demons who were simmering, they both lowered their heads lethargically, trying their best to hide the brilliance shining in their eyes .
Their current appearance was vastly different from half a month ago .
Li Yao had changed the distribution and direction of his muscles, turning himself into a tough, muscular man . His left arm was now covered in a layer of vague scales . His forearms were sharp but had the features of lions and tigers, too . At first glance, he was just a random, simpleminded chaotic-blood demon .
Jin Xinyue had her own secret techniques for disguise . She was now dark and slender . Her eyes became two lines like those of a reptile, and her tongue was narrow and long like that of a snake, hissing every now and then . She was an out-and-out ugly snake right now .
However hard Li Yao observed, he did not find any discrepancies in her appearance . He could not help but feel amazed .
They did not have a choice to pretend to chaotic-blood demons .
Although Void Turmoil City was a chaotic, lawless place, the Fire Ant King was a top-tier expert of the Blood Demon Sector . The city seemingly was operated in the open but in a very strict way . It was not difficult for them to enter Void Turmoil City, but it was quite a different matter if they did not want to raise anybody's attention .
The four kingdoms were apparently still searching for the two of them . Both of their identities had to be kept a secret right now, and disguises were mandatory .
Of the different types of demons, the black-blood demons and the bronze-blood demons were too different from normal human beings . No matter how Li Yao changed his body, he could not turn himself into a giant mantis crouching on the ground or change his legs into a tail .
The silver-blood demons and the chaotic-blood demons were the most similar to human beings in appearance, and it was easier for them to pretend .
However, the silver-blood demons were all nobles . Every silver-blood demon had a unique appearance, identity, and familial background . Their identity would immediately be exposed if somebody stopped and questioned them .
Jin Xinyue had prepared a lot of fake identities before, but she was not sure that those identities were still confidential right now .
