Chapter 283 Devil's Horn (Part 2)



Half a month later, escape cabin, lower lounge.

Xu Xianxian lay weakly on the bed with her eyes tightly closed, her pink little face deformed by the pillow.

She was actually very weak.

On the bedside table sat a bottle of dark red demon blood, the amount Loli Xu had just drawn today. To prevent herself from being completely demonized and becoming a public enemy of the world, she could only rely on drawing blood to offset the corrosive effects of demonic power.

Fairies are usually corrupted by dark forces and degenerate into dark elves, losing their original fairy form and becoming a new hybrid species.

But Xu Xianxian was different. In exchange for the opportunity to suppress the ancient evil dragon, she used legendary magic to communicate with the dark world, and sacrificed her right eye and 500 years of life to summon a trace of the rules of the Demon King.

The aftermath of this is that the soul is corroded by demonic power, transforming from a high-level goblin into a high-level demon.

Xu Xianxian opened her eyes wearily, flipping through an ancient sheepskin book lying beside the bed. She glanced at the section describing the Ritual of Depravity: "If a high-level goblin with platinum blood were to completely demonize, they could at least become a high-ranking demon like a Fire Demon or a Blood Demon. Their strength would likely be much higher than mine now."

"But the drawbacks are too great. After degenerating into a high-ranking demon, one will either be expelled from the dark world or be strangled by the power of the native world. The gains simply don't outweigh the losses."

No matter which path she chooses, Xu Xianxian doesn't want to choose one. After all, there are still many things on Earth waiting for her to deal with. She doesn't want to be excluded by the whole world!

So she could only honestly follow the methods in the ancient books, first extract the devil's essence, slow down the speed of contamination, and then begin to purify her blood step by step.

"But why didn't the hairpin offset the pollution?" Xu Xianxian touched the rabbit hairpin on her forehead, a look of doubt on her face. "Could it be that the root cause is the same... or is there some other reason..."

Normally, when encountering similar incidents, the rabbit hairpin would help her offset the pollution and corrosion, but this time, there was no movement at all, and she could only watch her turn into a demon.

Dongdong——

"Miss." Following the knock on the door, the maid Cui Cui's voice came from outside: "The engine system has been repaired, and we can set off again."

Xu Xianxian jumped up from the bed and looked at the red-haired demon in the mirror beside her. The demon's face was pale and its lips were bright red. Just looking at its appearance, it was dark and evil. This made Loli Xu frown. She raised her hands and, with a little force, pushed both demon horns back.

That's right.

Now that pollution is becoming increasingly serious, she has two more devil horns on her head, and even her fairy appearance is changing into a demon.

"Actually, I also want to be a good person..."

Xu Xianxian sighed and looked at the evil-looking little girl in the mirror. She smashed the mirror with a punch and then opened the door.

The maid Cui Cui did not care too much about her master's depravity. Apart from the trivial matters in life, she obeyed the instructions of Miss Natalie in everything else.

Xu Xianxian met those green eyes and whispered, "Let's go, our destination is Earth."

Then she looked at the lounges nearby, where several of her subordinates lived. She could faintly hear slight fluctuations of the Force, and it seemed that they were all practicing diligently.

As for Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, she was still in a coma, and Xu Xianxian didn't bother to wake her up. After all, it would be difficult to hide the demonization from her, and they might even start a fight in the escape pod.

Twenty minutes later, after a brief tremor, the escape capsule began to accelerate and take off, then drew a graceful arc in the gray sky.

With the departure of the escape pod, the Lost Atrium fell silent again, with nothing left except the demonic stele on the scorched earth.

......

Earth.

In the southern part of Asia, after the War of Extinction, the prosperous urban area that once stood there has disappeared.

Not only will the civilization built by humans disappear, but there will also be huge changes in the natural environment.

Rivers dried up, mountains collapsed, plains turned into lakes, and everything was different from what it was decades ago.

There are thousands of miles of barren land here, and it is a stretch of dead silence. The air is filled with a large amount of radiation, making it impossible for normal animals to survive in the wild.

Those who can survive are all monsters that have undergone mutation.

The entire southern part of the continent covers two to three million square kilometers, which is a very large area, but there are only three human cities.

This is a desperate time.

Most of the human race has died out, and the small number of survivors has also experienced a cultural gap, and most of their genes have mutated and are no longer the pure humans they once were.

Among them, the humans with the most severe mutations either died or awakened new powers.

This is an extraordinary power that is different from technology, and is also called the Force.

Humans who possess the Force are called Force-bearers. They are the last hope and power to protect the surviving humans.

Among them, Luogong City, located in the middle, is a strong fortress built by two Netherworld Force users fifteen years ago.

Outskirts of the city.

A group of homeless people wandering outside were tiptoeing towards a large garbage dump.

It was already night, but there was no moonlight, not even a trace of starlight, it was pitch black.

The indigenous people living here have not seen the moon for more than 20 years. The polluted dust in the atmosphere above makes the place hazy with a layer of yellow-brown mist even during the day.

This also results in the nights being longer than the days.

Light is the source of all organic life.

When there is a severe lack of light, many people die and some people's bodies experience certain adverse mutations.

For example, these ragged vagrants holding crude weapons have more serious mutations than other humans in the fortified city. Their skin is extremely pale, their skulls are abnormally protruding, their lips are deeply sunken, and there are fine black stripes on their faces. Their eye sockets are elongated, and their faces look a little weird.

"Boss Liu, are you sure we want to go deeper?"

A burly young man wearing a ragged cloth robe and holding a bone knife in his hand spoke to the middle-aged man in front of him.

This place is said to be a garbage dump, but in fact it is a highly radioactive waste dump. If it weren't for Boss Liu's order, he would not want to come here and risk being contaminated by radiation.

"Is that even a question?" Boss Liu glanced at his men and said in a deep voice, "Many people saw it before us. A blue meteor streaked across the sky. Some people said it looked like a ship, and it landed right near this garbage dump."

He paused for a moment and continued, "There's been no reaction from Luogong City yet. This is an opportunity for us. If we find some treasure, we'll have the chance to buy a place to live in the city and become legal citizens. Isn't that a hundred times better than living in fear and sleeping in the open air?"
