Chapter 329 "A Vicious Plot"
The portal leading to the swamp plains of World of Warcraft.
Located on this side of the demon world.
Seven days have passed since the end of the war. About 20 million demons died here, including many level 5 or 6 demons.
What’s even more terrifying is that two level seven demon kings died here.
There are only nine level seven demons in this vast demon world, and all of them dominate one side and are synonymous with terror.
These level seven demons all occupy one area, and the kings do not meet each other. Occasionally, several neighboring demon kings will fight each other. The melee will cause turmoil in the demon world and countless casualties.
But in the past six months, the nine level seven demons suddenly put aside their prejudices and gathered together with almost all the intermediate and above demons in the territory, forming an army of hundreds of millions of demons.
In this army, level four or five is just the threshold to join. The level six demons that are rarely seen in normal times are just small managers here. The legion is led by 9 level seven demon kings. The most powerful demon kings in normal times also cooperate sincerely and live in peace here.
The only one who can do this is the strongest in the demon world, the Demon Lord.
What kind of demon is the Demon Lord? The demons don't really care. They lack social structures, no inherited civilization. Killing, eating, and endless battles are every demon's destiny. In the face of survival crises, their minds are preoccupied with ways to get stronger and keep themselves fed.
So who exactly is the Demon Lord? What does he look like? How powerful is he? These aren't things for the little demons who struggle to even survive to worry about.
They only knew that powerful demons could emit a terrifying aura from a distance, and they would run away and hide the first time they sensed it.
Powerful demons will prey on demons weaker than themselves, but they will not prey on demons that are much weaker than themselves, after all, there is too little nutrition for them.
Even in this kind of primitive forest-like society of beasts, Wei Huan searched the souls of so many demons but still could not find any useful information about the Demon Lord. He only knew that there was indeed a Demon Lord in this world, who was the only eighth-level monster created by gathering the essence of heaven and earth and condensing the power of the world. He knew nothing else.
Now, Wei Huan gave up the opportunity to improve his personal strength and searched the souls of two seventh-level demon kings.
Fortunately, the first demon whose soul he searched knew the information he wanted to find out.
At that time, Wei Huan summoned Dian Ma and rushed to the Demon Lord's location at full speed. In a blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
This entrance, located near the transmission channel, has been quiet for seven days.
Tian Yao, who had left with the demon army, was worried that Wei Huan was blocking the way here, so he didn't dare to come back without making full preparations.
Of course Wei Huan didn't chase after him.
Many imps, attracted by the smell, ran over to gnaw on the corpses of the larger demons whose mere passing would normally make their legs tremble with fear. Some imps were lucky enough to pass by some sticky, foul-smelling corpse water. Although they didn't find any edible food, they did find many severed limbs and arms that were condensed with demonic essence.
The brave ones will die of overeating, and the timid ones will die of starvation. After the little devil left with his harvest, he quickly changed his fate at the bottom of the food chain with the power he had obtained from the big devil.
After discovering this, the other little demons also plucked up their courage and moved closer to the center of the battlefield.
This is a group of little demons with dark skin, less than one meter tall, pointed chins and looks like big rats. They are called inferior demons in the demon system.
They are the demons at the bottom of the food chain in the demon world. They have survived to this day because of their extremely high reproductive capacity, and they are the largest in number.
They chirped and searched for food on the battlefield, and had been staying here for a long time.
Compared to other areas that are full of black water and can obtain "demon essence" but cannot fill their stomachs, the inferior demons think that this place where they can eat the corpses of big demons is the real treasure land, and they are complacent about it.
They often gather in groups of three or five around the corpse of a large demon, tearing and swallowing it. They occasionally cooperate, but most of the time they will fight if they are approached.
This also made the place where the inferior demons were located messy, and their noise could be heard from a long distance away.
After eating smoothly for several days, they had forgotten that this place was dangerous. Even in a place where even big demons died in large numbers, they treated it as their home and even dared to take a nap after eating.
In a corner of the "restaurant", more than 20 little demons less than half a meter tall were chasing and playing. Their mother was devouring food in big mouthfuls not far away. Occasionally, when she looked up, she could see the weakest little demon being bullied by the other children, and it looked like it was dying. This made it very satisfied.
This kind of life is so good. I can eat enough food every day and neither I nor my children will go hungry.
This is the happiest litter for it.
Moreover, this kind of energy-rich food will make it stronger every time it eats. Perhaps one day it can become the queen of the area where it is and command more inferior demons.
If days like this happened every day...
But just as it was thinking this, a strange breeze blew by, causing its sparse and hard hair to sway slightly. Before it could raise its head alertly, the mountain-like food in front of it suddenly began to shrive and turn black, and finally seemed to melt, quickly disappearing from its sight.
As for the stench, before it could smell it, it saw the three little demons hiding opposite the corpse and stealing food.
These three little demons were its children, and it could tell them apart. But its instinct to eat took over at this moment, and it screamed miserably, leaped over, and bit the three little demons that were trying to steal its food to death one by one.
In the demon world, eating is above everything else, even its offspring.
Unless it is full or offers its food voluntarily, any act of stealing food will be regarded as a provocation!
The mother demon's overly excited cry and her action of biting three little demons to death intimidated the other children who were bullying the weakest demon.
They all stopped what they were doing and looked at their mother, their excited and bloodthirsty eyes gradually calming down.
It was at this moment that they discovered that the area they regarded as a paradise had changed at some point.
The mountains of food had all turned black, and some had melted into black water, becoming inedible and emitting a stench that would disgust even demons.
The inferior demons were too intelligent to comprehend this bizarre change, but their survival instincts informed them of the danger.
The evil demons who were happily chasing each other just now ran towards the mother with chirping sounds.
And their mother runs even faster.
The only one left in this area was the little demon with congenital defects who had been bullied and had his hands and feet broken.
The little demon was also scared. It turned over and tried to escape but couldn't stand up. It struggled to crawl forward in the foul-smelling black water that covered its ankles.
As it crawled, it suddenly felt a hard lump on its hand. A strange energy surged out of the lump, which relieved a lot of the pain on its body.
The strange feeling made it stop in fear and fish the object out of the black water.
It turned out to be a red skull.
Almost subconsciously, it put the skull on its head, and a cool feeling rushed into its brain, as if it had cleared away the fog in its head, and it became extremely clear-headed from its confused state.
At this moment, there was a loud "boom" and the earth shook.
The little demon was so scared that he turned his head suddenly and saw the direction where his mother and brothers were running away. Dust was raised all over the sky and the ground in a large area suddenly became three inches lower.
Although it did not see it with its own eyes, it knew with a clear mind that in the face of such power, no inferior demon could survive. Not even the patriarch of the inferior demon tribe could survive. They all died.
The one who made the move was...
I suddenly raised my head and saw a small white dot in the extremely high sky.
Squinting and looking carefully, one can see that it seems to be a powerful creature floating in the air, like a spider demon.
Even though the other party tried its best to restrain itself, it still felt terrified. Its teeth were clacking and its hands and feet were moving around. It took several attempts to finally prop up its limp body and then ran out like crazy.
"Boom!" Another sound was heard, and from another direction, the same noise that killed its mother came.
It was so scared that it didn't dare to go any further and could only run in another direction.
During this process, it did not notice that the skull on its head was shiny red and emitting a strange light.
At the same time, the red light spread downwards, covering its body and making it run faster and faster.
However, in the eyes of an elephant, no matter how fast an ant is, it is not worth mentioning.
When some terrible pressure came, it realized very clearly that it was under the same attack, could not escape, and was going to die.
As soon as my thoughts stopped, my chaotic brain seemed to have nothing.
It lost the perception of its body and was only aware that many thoughts were pouring into its spring-sized brain like sea water. It felt very uncomfortable, like a balloon that was inflated. It was obviously extremely thin and should have burst long ago, but it still existed.
Is it still alive?
No, it is dead, but its consciousness is still alive.
Not only is its consciousness still alive, but at the same time, it is filled with more consciousness, making noisy sounds in its head.
“Food…food…”
"I'm so hungry..."
“Kill!”
"No, don't kill me..."
"War! Killing! Invasion!"
“Ahhhhhh!!”
…
Fragmented consciousness resounds in its consciousness every second and every moment. Thousands of different voices, simple and strong, keep repeating, arguing, and conflicting!
It felt like it was going crazy, but it still existed.
Every moment, non-stop, non-stop torment.
It seemed like a hundred million years had passed, or maybe not.
The chaotic voices in its head had become fewer at some point, and only two voices were growing louder.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
"War! War! War!"
These two voices seemed to kill the other voices, and then began to fight each other, like two armies facing each other, neither giving in.
The little demon could not stop or avoid it. It was repeatedly impacted by the two sounds, like a deep scratch on a tree.
The deep scars can never be erased even if you grow up and become successful.
"War! Kill!!!"
"War! Kill!!!"
"War! Kill!!!"
The two consciousnesses eventually merged into one, becoming the little demon's sole will.
That’s right!
War! Kill!
Where is the war?
Kill, kill, kill!
"Huh?" At this moment, in the world where only repetitive sounds remained, a different sound suddenly rang out, as crisp as a crack split from a dull shell, the singing of birds in the quiet forest in the early morning, and the laughter in the dead of night.
So abrupt.
"Is this a heroic spirit?" The same voice sounded, and it opened its eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
However, it only saw a palm, which seemed as big as the whole world, and it easily grabbed it with one hand.
war!
kill! !
"Strange..." Wei Huan looked at the soul in his hand. Unlike other souls, it was so solid. Even the fine details of its body seemed to have flesh and blood and was still alive.
But he was absolutely certain that this was the soul.
A different soul, could it be a heroic spirit?
only……
"Why is it an inferior demon?" Wei Huan muttered to himself in confusion. Heroic spirits were a field he had no knowledge of at all, and facing this unique soul, he did not have an accurate answer.
But now that he has discovered me, there is no way I will let him go.
He turned around and threw the lifelike inferior demon soul into the tomb world, and surrounded it with dirty soil just in case.
Then Wei Huan looked up and looked at the transmission passage in front.
After leaving for seven days, he came back.
He got what he wanted and finally had the confidence to deal with the Heavenly Demon again. Now is not the time to be distracted, as the next battle will probably be a tough one.
"What's the situation over there?" Wei Huan asked.
Big Foot replied from behind, "Since you left, I have been guarding this passage and have traveled back and forth three times. The passage is very stable. These celestial demons are like termites, digging a passage between the two worlds.
There are demon soldiers stationed in the passage. In the past few days, Tian Yao has also sent a lot of demon soldiers to investigate, but they are only sporadic movements.
The demon army over there set out five days ago and headed towards the base, but the journey was long and the demon army was large in number, so they were still far from their destination.
Boss Mu asked me to tell you that we have done what you requested, so you don't have to worry."
Wei Huan listened carefully and nodded: "It's almost time to go back."
…
"Boom! Boom!"
“Boom boom!!”
The demon army was suddenly ambushed on the way. The magic bullets buried in the ground were detonated, sending more than 3,000 demons home on the spot, and nearly 10,000 demons suffered injuries of varying degrees, forcing this terrifyingly large army to stop marching.
Five miles away, a camera flying high in the sky transmitted the scene of the explosion back to the human garrison base. The garrison AI instantly calculated all kinds of data about the ambush through the upgraded clearer camera.
From the number of deaths to the number of injuries, how many are minor injuries? How many are serious injuries?
It's all clear.
Finally, this plan was marked as achieving the war goal by 0.003%.
This number can be simply ignored.
Captain Xue, Xu Qingqiang and others who saw this number together all looked regretful.
Captain Xue even muttered, "0.003? That's not even a tickle!"
But they used all their strength to make this batch of magic bullets.
There are only so many people who can make magic bullets with enough lethality. They have to work day and night to make them, plus the energy consumed, and the people sent out to take the risk to bury these magic bullets. It can be said that they put in so much effort, but the final result is very unsatisfactory.
"Although I know that homemade magic bullets are not as good as the forbidden spell scrolls sold in the mall, but with such a large number, killing so many demons, the difference is too big!"
Captain Xue looked at Mu Zhong and said, "Boss Mu, I think there's still time. How about we follow my previous suggestion? I'll go back and participate in the random challenge now. Without saying anything more, I promise to bring you two level seven scrolls a day. I can give you a military order!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Mu Zhong to speak, he continued, "I'll lead one team, Lao Xu will lead another. It's a pity that Lao Chui isn't here. How about that new kid? He's good. He has strong abilities. We can all go and do random challenges. We can definitely send back five a day. Isn't that right, Lao Xu?"
Xu Qingqiang, however, had his feet up on the desk, smoking a cigarette while glancing at him from the corner of his eye. He then exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "No!"
But he didn't intend to keep the secret, and continued, "You haven't been here these few days, so you don't know about our vicious plan. We don't need a knife to kill people. What era is it now? You still have to fight and kill on your own. Aren't you tired?"
"Huh?" Captain Xue, who had been assigned to go back to Challenge World to collect supplies these past two days, was stunned. He thought about this over and over in his mind but couldn't quite react.
These words and phrases are only used when scolding people, right?
Mu Zhong held his forehead and laughed: "Brother Qiang, how can you talk like that? It's a good strategy, and you still participated in it. Aren't you scolding yourself?"
Xu Qingqiang said, "As long as it's a war, any strategy is just to me and vicious to the other side. I'm not wrong. And I like the word vicious. Using any means necessary, strategizing, what era is this? Is there still talk of fair competition?"
"Captain Xue will be confused if you say that. How about you explain it?"
"I'm too lazy to explain, just read it yourself."
Captain Xue was indeed watching.
A relatively clear picture was projected on the enlarged screen in the conference room. Even so, it was still a bit tiring to the eyes because the distance was too far.
However, he could see that there was chaos at the site of the explosion, but the area around the demon army was very calm.
The number of the demon army was too large. After spreading out, it was all over the mountains and plains. The width extended to a hundred miles, and the length was six hundred miles. The end of the team had not yet set off.
Therefore, the ambush that could only kill 3,000 demons was just a small amount of normal daily loss for this demon army.
Besides, the Sky Demon Clan regards demons as tools and will not cherish them. If they die, they die. At most, they will be angry. How could they really anger the Sky Demon Clan?
Moreover, the current strategy is not to anger the Sky Demon Clan. Captain Xue knows this, and it is also the most important requirement in the message sent by Wei Huan.
The three-headed celestial demon is extremely powerful. If it were not for the caution and unwillingness to leave the demon army and act alone, in fact, just these three god-level heads returning from the end of the world would be unstoppable by humans.
So Wei Huan was worried that if they were enraged, they would rush over without any regard for anything. Under such a terrible attack, it would not be easy to escape even if there was a passage behind him.
"What's wrong? What's the strategy? Tell me!" Captain Xue looked at it for a while, but he really couldn't see anything unusual. He was so anxious that his face turned black.
Xu Qingqiang wanted to say something, but when he noticed the changes in the video, he slapped his armrest and sat up straight, pointing excitedly at the projection screen and said, "Here we go, I won't say anything yet. Look, what strategy are we using this time?"
Captain Xue could only look at the projection screen again, and this time he saw the changes that Xu Qingqiang wanted him to see at a glance.
The uninjured demons around suddenly rushed towards the group of ambushed and injured demons in the middle like sharks smelling blood.
The center circle quickly descended into chaos, with demons fighting and devouring each other.
At the same time, on one side of the video, the AI statistical data began to jump.
Death toll: 3030…3300…3800…4500…
The numbers were jumping wildly and the fighting was intensifying.
5000…7000…10000…12000…15000…
Captain Xue's mouth dropped open in surprise as he watched the number suddenly jump to ten thousand and then quickly jump to fifteen thousand.
He seemed to understand a little.
Xu Qingqiang smiled like a villain who had succeeded in his evil plan and said, "Since seven days ago, Boss Mu has arranged for people to chase away or hunt down the monsters within a thousand miles of the demon army. It has been nearly seven days, and they have hardly eaten.
The army does not move out until the food and supplies are sent ahead. These demons do not understand this and do not care about it. They just think that if they drive the demons into this world, they will pose a threat to us.
But in fact, the demons that have been hungry for seven days are like a group of sharks with red eyes, and the slightest smell of blood can make them go crazy.
The bombs we planted are not weapons, but bait, the purpose of which is to lure them into killing each other.
Look..."
Xu Qingqiang spoke with great pride, and the others who knew the plan also had smiles on their faces. Even Captain Xue and a few people around him, who had missed the plan due to other missions, suddenly understood what was going on after hearing what he said, and then looked astonished.
"This is a good plan!" Captain Xue nodded.
Xu Qingqiang laughed: "Vicious, right?"
"Vicious!" Captain Xue said with relief, "It's so damn vicious!"
Killing three thousand demons with a bomb was indeed nothing, but the bait thrown into the pile of sharks brought in several times, or even dozens of times more value.
Just as he was speaking, more than 40,000 demons, who were bloodthirsty and extremely hungry, had already died in the chaos.
Moreover, the battle situation was further expanding. The smell of blood had not yet stopped tempting the hungry demons, luring the surrounding and even farther demons to become restless. They smelled the scent of food in the air and their mouths were drooling all over the ground.
The demon clan is not an orderly civilization, they are not even civilized. Even the dark beast clan, which is also a jungle of the jungle, knows how to develop and cultivate. They also know that each dark beast royal family can control a limited number of dark beasts, and different dark beasts in the territory also need different territories to survive.
However, the Sky Demon Clan, who only regarded demons as tools, obviously did not want to understand the social structure of the demon clan, nor did they want to go to the trouble of finding food.
The reason they have been able to coexist peacefully until now is all due to the pressure from higher-level demons.
The seventh-level demons suppressed the sixth-level demons, and the sixth-level demons were scattered throughout the army, suppressing the weaker demons.
Only with such layers of management can these brutal and disorderly demons live in peace until now.
But beneath this calm surface, the situation is already precarious and order may collapse at any time.
What Mu Zhong and others need to do is to break this tranquility and throw a stone into the seemingly calm pool.
The stone created ripples that continued to spread outward.
In the chaotic area in the center, the number of dead demons reached 80,000!
This number is even higher than the damage caused by the 30 seventh-level forbidden spell scrolls that Mu Zhong buried in the headquarters of the pioneering army.
"Hahaha!" Captain Xue laughed distortedly, "Alright, alright, that's it, it'll soon break 100,000!"
"Hehehe!" Xu Qingqiang laughed so fiercely that even his demonic patterns laughed out loud. "The taste of the devil is like chewy beef shank. Not bad."
"This plan is extremely vicious! Hahaha!"
"Don't praise me, don't, don't, hehehe!"
Mu Zhong held his forehead and looked at Changle, who had an innocent and even slightly frightened face, and said soothingly: "Don't be afraid, they don't eat people."
Changle: “…”
