Wu Wei was very obedient and scurried away from the backstage.
Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, remained seated, his spiritual power and Electromagnetic Domain fully spread out, closely observing every corner of the venue.
He waited for the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother to reveal a flaw while trying to capture the aura of the parasitic demons.
During this probing, he did indeed detect a slight sense of disharmony in some students.
However, he couldn't be sure if this feeling indicated parasitic demons.
So, after marking these students with his Electromagnetic Domain, he no longer paid attention to them.
Time quietly slipped by.
Soon, it was evening.
More and more students gathered in the venue; a rough estimate put the number at around eight thousand, with more than half of Qing Campus's students congregated there.
Strangely, Qin Yun had said he would be back soon, but he was nowhere to be seen, and it was unknown where he had gone.
Jiang Yuan suspected he was currently secretly peeking with Dean Xiao somewhere.
At this moment, the stage was ready.
The idol singer could appear and perform at any time.
"Cu Cu, Cu Cu, Cu Cu!!"
The students waved their glow sticks, uniformly cheering the idol's name.
Under everyone's gaze, a graceful figure in vibrant clothing slowly rose from the center of the stage.
"Hello everyone!" Cu Cu's voice was sweet as she greeted the crowd below, instantly triggering an even more fervent cheer.
The lift stage was already three meters high. According to the original plan, the lift stage should have slowly descended, officially starting the performance.
However, the lift stage remained motionless.
Cu Cu smiled apologetically at the audience, then turned and sweetly called out to the auntie controlling the lift stage: "Sister, you can lower me now!"
The auntie didn't press the button on her remote control; instead, the smile on her face suddenly turned eerie:
"Miss Cu Cu, thank you for preparing this feast for me and my children today."
Before Cu Cu could understand the meaning of this sentence, her pupils suddenly dilated.
She watched in horror as the auntie's skin began to peel off piece by piece, revealing the ugly, nauseating demonic body underneath!
"Hiss~~~!!!"
The auntie's hands grew sharp claws, and she actually tore her own skin open!
When the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother fully revealed herself, the venue first fell into a brief, fleeting silence of a few tenths of a second, then erupted into deafening, sharp screams.
"Ah!!!!!!"
However, the truly terrifying things were yet to come.
"My children, wake up quickly and have a good meal."
The Scaled-Skin Demon Mother's voice was extremely hoarse, every word like a dull knife scraping harshly against people's eardrums.
She raised her hideous head, and mucus constantly dripped from the corners of her mouth.
The next second.
"Chirp~~~!!!!"
"Chirp~~~~~~~!!!!"
Piercing, ear-splitting cries instantly spread throughout the entire venue.
Amidst these eerie cries, the demons parasitic within the students awakened one after another.
The students discovered in horror that they were instantly surrounded by demons; classmates who had just been laughing and talking shed their human skin in the blink of an eye, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced.
Monsters appeared one after another.
In an instant, the uninfected students were surrounded.
Chaos.
Everything descended into chaos.
Below the stage, countless heads surged.
Screams, curses, and prayers intertwined, forming a desperate elegy.
"Help me..." Cu Cu huddled in a corner, terrified.
She wanted to shout for help, but her throat seemed to be choked by something; only faint whimpers escaped her lips.
"Miss Cu Cu, do you know how delicious you are? It's alright if you don't know, I will slowly savor your flesh and tell you just how delicious you are."
The Scaled-Skin Demon Mother flicked her long, crimson tongue, approaching Cu Cu step by step.
Just as the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother was about to attack Cu Cu, a tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner of the stage.
The Scaled-Skin Demon Mother suddenly turned her head, her vertical pupils flickering with alert, staring intently at Jiang Yuan who had appeared: "Who are you?"
She actually knew very well that the human world harbored many powerful individuals far exceeding her own strength.
But human flesh and blood were simply too tempting; not only was it delicious, but it was also a great tonic for demons!
Moreover, most of the human children were unarmed and posed no threat to her.
Therefore, she risked sneaking into the human world, attempting to secretly hunt humans.
The Scaled-Skin Demon Mother firmly believed that as long as she was careful enough, she could remain hidden until she had completely devoured the entire human world!
Fortunately, no one knew about her ridiculous idea, otherwise, she would probably become a disgrace to the demon world.
"Student, hurry and leave..." Cu Cu whispered, and as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
She both hoped this boy who suddenly appeared could save her and couldn't bear to see him die in vain.
"It's alright, don't be afraid," Jiang Yuan gently comforted her.
His gaze calmly swept over the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother, then turned to look at the students who were fleeing in terror from the parasitic demons.
He couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
How could these be mages trained by a higher academy?
They had no real combat experience, and upon seeing a demon, they panicked and fled, completely forgetting their abilities as mages.
The parasitic demons' level was barely Servant-level; with their strength, they should have been able to handle them easily.
No wonder many mages in society looked down on the academy faction.
They were simply too vulnerable!
If he were a school leader, he would definitely organize more demon combat drills, provided the students' safety was ensured.
Humanity was still struggling to survive under the threat of demons.
As excellent mages trained by a higher academy, how could they be hothouse flowers?
On the other side, the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother could no longer suppress her inner craving for flesh and blood.
"Chirp~~~!"
She roared, using her hands and feet, pouncing towards Jiang Yuan like a frenzied beast.
Beside Jiang Yuan, a blue Star Map instantly appeared, emitting a mysterious light.
"Raging Waves—Torrent!"
With his low roar, surging waves erupted like ocean tides.
They instantly pushed away the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother and swept towards the dense crowd.
Water submerged, currents swirled.
Jiang Yuan cleverly used the Raging Waves to separate the parasitic demons from the normal students, to prevent any accidents.
Then, his gaze locked onto the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother, who had been swept into a corner.
The Scaled-Skin Demon Mother's face was filled with terror.
This was bad!
She had encountered a powerful individual from the human world!
She wanted to escape, but her movements were not as swift as Jiang Yuan's.
A grey Star Map suddenly lit up.
A colossal bone general descended from the Sky , its feet heavily trampling on the Scaled-Skin Demon Mother's body, causing her to let out a piercing shriek of intense pain.
Hearing this cry, the parasitic demons seemed to go mad, surging towards them frantically.
"Kill her," Jiang Yuan calmly ordered the Three-Eyed Underworld General.
The ghostly flames in the Three-Eyed Underworld General's eye sockets flickered, emitting an eerie light. He drew the machete from his back.
The hand rose, the blade fell!
The Scaled-Skin Demon Mother's head instantly rolled, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
Instant kill, what's there to say?
