Chapter 118 A Terrifying Race
Worried that this guy might cause some trouble, Meng Hanhai suggested that Long Batian absorb the green demon.
Ah Chen also felt that since the creature called "Fine Demon" might have some side effects, it would be better to let Long Batian try absorbing this higher-level green Fine Demon.
Who told him to be so thick-skinned and tough?
The lizard felt it had gotten a good deal and happily went to suck it, completely unaware that it had been used as a guinea pig.
Long Batian, a high-level demon beast, used to devour his prey directly, but after following Achen, he prefers barbecue.
However, the current conditions do not allow it, so he simply sticks out his tongue.
Ah Chen had witnessed his tongue stretching for miles before, and now he saw countless sharp thorns grow from his tongue and pierce directly into the green demon's body.
A long, thin, murmur-like sound rang out. Although the sound was not aggressive, Ah Chen's intuition told him that it was dangerous.
As the low murmur arose, the green slender demon's body transformed into a dark green seaweed-like substance, more than twice as long, wide, and thick as the yellow slender demon had been.
Long Batian's tongue also grew longer instantly, quickly sucking him into a dried seaweed.
Unlike the previous one, this dried kelp had many tangled roots remaining at its tail, which further confirmed their guess.
The Fine Demons are indeed plants.
Ah Chen didn't care how much benefit Long Batian had gained after absorbing the green magic essence; he hurriedly said, "Let's get out of here quickly!"
Seeing his solemn and anxious expression, Long Batian immediately transformed into his true form, threw all three of them onto his back, and strode off into the distance.
Less than five minutes after they left, a slender figure in gray-blue appeared where they had been.
"Green Goblin Number Three is dead? Useless thing. To die so easily in a place completely shrouded in gray fog. It seems the training at the rear needs to be strengthened."
The gray-blue figure murmured to herself before disappearing into the gray mist.
Among the Lesser Demons, the lower the rank, the more vibrant the color, ranging from bright yellow, dark green, grayish blue, to dark purple.
The Yellow Demon is the most useless; it can't even transmit information when it dies.
The Green Demon was slightly stronger; before dying, it was able to emit a sound wave that allowed higher-level demons to sense its location.
If the person or monster who killed the Green Goblin hasn't left, the Blue Goblin will devour them.
This action was not to avenge the clansmen, but to reclaim the energy from their bodies.
However, the blue demon was clearly too late and missed the enemy that had devoured the green demon, so she had to leave disappointed.
Among the demon race, yellow demons are the most numerous, followed by green demons. Although losing a green demon is a bit of a pity, it is not a big deal.
Long Batian carried Achen and the other two at breakneck speed for a full half hour before finally stopping.
Surrounded by thick fog, they could no longer discern their direction.
Lost in the thick fog, they weren't too nervous, after all, their purpose in coming here was to hunt down the Little Demon Clan.
Two successful hunts in a row boosted their confidence. As long as they could avoid high-level demons, they should be able to hunt more demons here.
The place where Long Batian stopped was surrounded by a pile of large rocks, covered with countless withered grasses.
"My daughter Xianxian said that this place used to be a mountain peak, covered with trees and grass."
But now, the mountain has collapsed, and the plants are almost all dead. Nie Xiaoxiao looked very sad.
As a plant science student, she has a deep affection for plants, and she finds it hard to accept such a large-scale withering of plants.
The reason Xianxian knew all this was because a small seedling was hidden under a pile of rocks.
It is a clone of a seven-tiered Selaginella tamariscina.
As the gray fog invaded, the life force of the seventh-tier resurrection plant was gradually swallowed up.
In order to preserve its life, it forcibly separated a small clone and mobilized all the branches and roots of its main body to wrap it inside.
Of the three traveling together, Meng Hanhai was a sword cultivator with a single metal spiritual root, so it was impossible for him to contract a spiritual plant.
Nie Xiaoxiao really wanted to take the little cypress tree away, but her Xianxian was a jealous person and couldn't tolerate her "having two women on the same side"!
Unfortunately, in the end, Ah Chen had no choice but to take the poor little juniper.
He possesses two types of spiritual roots: the Nether Spiritual Root and the Dark Spiritual Root. The Nether Spiritual Root has an extremely strong attraction to both animals and plants.
However, Ah Chen has no plans to contract this little cypress for the time being. When there are good things, the first thing he thinks of is his own little sister.
Previously, her two iridescent holy butterflies discovered that he had a clone of the demon plant emperor Lan Ruo, so they directly snatched the bead.
If they also like this little juniper, then he'll give it to them.
After all, the stronger they are, the more secure Xi'er's safety will be.
With the help of Xianxian and Little Selaginella, Little Selaginella, being a local expert, found them a safe place—the place where its main body was rooted.
They pulled out the withered roots and found a natural large pit inside. It had withstood the erosion of the gray fog and had not crumbled into stone fragments.
Ah Chen and the others stayed inside to rest for the time being. The concentration of the gray fog here was relatively low, and the speed at which it absorbed spiritual energy was also slower.
Only then did everyone relax for a moment.
Long Batian said, "I inherited the memories of that Green Demon."
The reason why the Fine Demon Clan is becoming stronger and stronger is that, except for the lowest-ranking Yellow Demon, all the Fine Demons, before they die, transfer their memories and energy from their bodies to the clansmen who devour their bodies.
The voice that Green Goblin made before he died actually had a location tracking function.
As long as there are green demons of the same rank as him or blue demons of a higher rank nearby, they will rush over at top speed to devour the person or beast that killed the green demon.
They did this not for revenge, but simply to preserve the energy and memories of their people.
The three boys were all horrified when they heard this.
Humanity is about to face such a terrifying race!
Compared to their unity and spirit of sacrificing everything for their people, the deceit and selfishness of humankind pale in comparison.
Can humanity really resist such a group?
