Chapter 972: The Reappearance of the Corpse Demon
Accompanied by a sudden loud noise, the ruins of the city not far away suddenly collapsed on a large scale.
Amid the rising dust, a large number of black and red tentacles sprang out frantically, forming a very shocking and strange scene.
Seeing this scene, Soros's face suddenly changed.
This scene was really not unfamiliar to him at all.
Before he could think about it, a huge monster as big as a mountain appeared in his sight in the dust.
At this moment, this monster looked basically the same as the one they had faced outside the Southern Fortress.
But the difference is that the size of this monster is even more exaggerated than the previous one.
The previous one, at its peak state, was only about a hundred meters long, but this one, when it appeared, was already close to an exaggerated two hundred meters long! They were not in the same league at all!
"Retreat! Send out the retreat signal immediately, retreat urgently! Stay away from this city ruins!!"
Knowing that the evil demon would further increase its strength and size by devouring surrounding creatures, Soros almost immediately issued a retreat order to prevent their soldiers from becoming nutrients for the enemy.
The urgent horn sounded quickly, and the lizardmen soldiers who received the signal evacuated as quickly as possible without saying a word.
Before leaving, Soros seemed to have thought of something and quickly climbed to the top of the wall. From the height of the wall, he observed the evil demon that was extending countless tentacles and wreaking havoc in the distance.
【Eye of Insight! 】
With the power of mantra, Soros could see the distant scene clearly.
In the distance, the demon, whose length was nearly 200 meters, had countless tentacles all over its body, and was frantically grabbing the ratmen within its range, swallowing them into its body in a sweeping manner! Seeing this scene, Soros was certain that the ratmen had indeed built a nest under the ruins of the city.
The appearance of the evil demon in front of him came from the other party's ritual.
Following this line of thought, Soros quickly understood the other party's crazy idea.
[Damn it, that stinky rat knew it couldn't win, so it started a ritual in its lair and summoned this monster out! ]
It was completely different from the previous situation on the battlefield. At that time, the surrounding ratmen could still escape, which somewhat restricted the growth of the evil demon.
But the rats in their underground nests are confined to a certain space. This space makes their distribution more dense and is also more suitable for evil spirits to hunt them!
This is probably the biggest reason why the evil demon's body length is close to two hundred meters when it appears.
[Is the ratman on the opposite side crazy? ! ]
From Soros's perspective, the other side's approach is indeed a bit too crazy.
Although the rat people in the past were not good people, they were not so crazy as to this extent.
As his thoughts raced, Soros couldn't help but frown.
Thinking back carefully, since the offensive was launched in late autumn last year, these rats have shown obvious madness compared to the past.
This made Soros wonder if something had happened within this ratman clan and what had caused these stinky rats to change their temperaments so drastically.
During this process, in order to be on the safe side, Bai Tu, who stayed outside the city to support, immediately led his troops over and joined the large group of Lizardmen that had retreated to the city gate area.
Before he climbed onto the top of the wall, Bai Tu's voice had already rang out.
"What's going on? I heard a huge noise outside, even the ground was shaking!"
As he said this, Bai Tu, who had climbed onto the top of the wall, froze instantly when he saw the scene that came into his sight as his field of vision changed height.
At the same time, Soros' voice rang out.
"The evil demon, the same evil demon that appeared outside the South Border Fortress at the beginning, has appeared again now!"
As he spoke, Soros quickly told Bai Tu the news he knew and some of the speculations in his mind.
During this time, Bai Tu's face was gloomy and his expression was very interesting.
In just a short while, the evil demon that was wreaking havoc in the distance was probably more than two hundred meters long.
This level of evil was far beyond what they had dealt with outside the Southern Fortress.
This also puts more pressure on Soros and Bai Tu.
During this process, Bolevin and Locke, who were also mage units staying behind, also arrived at the top of the wall shortly after.
At this point in time, the evil demon was busy sweeping the ratmen in the area and was completely unaware of their existence, making their current location relatively safe.
But they all knew in their hearts that as time passed, the threat from the evil demon was increasing.
"Are you two sure?"
As they spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Bo Levin and Locke.
Everyone knows that whether this wave can defeat the opponent depends on the methods of these two extraordinary wizards.
Faced with this question, Bo Levin and Locke all looked extremely solemn.
The change in the size of the evil spirit can most intuitively show the strength of its power.
The difference between a body length of 100 meters and 200 meters is huge.
At that time, outside the South Border Fortress, there was an evil demon with a body length of over 100 meters. It was first consumed by Locke and his men, causing its body to shrink back to within 100 meters, and then it was forcibly taken away by Bolevin with a series of moves.
But in return, Bolevin also exhausted his strength for this.
Now facing the evil demon whose length has exceeded two hundred meters, Bolevin obviously no longer has the strength to kill the opponent instantly.
However, compared to that time, their strength is also different.
The biggest difference is that Locke is also in his prime at this time. Even during this period of time, the individual strength of the wood elf mages, including Locke, has improved due to their diligent practice.
Soros and Bai Tu were both aware of this, so although they felt tremendous pressure, they did not appear overly pessimistic.
"It's hard to say for sure, but we'd better act as soon as possible. If we let the evil demon continue to devour us, it will become increasingly difficult to deal with it."
Bolevin said as he looked towards Locke.
As the only two extraordinary wizards here, if they want to take action, they undoubtedly need to discuss it together.
Obviously, Bolevin had already acquiesced to the action.
Come to think of it, after the southern border troops push here, the territory of their Great Zhou will definitely expand as well.
If there is such an evil demon that can increase its strength by devouring creatures crazily near the territory, who can live in peace? They must deal with it before it grows so big that they can't deal with it at all! (End of this chapter)
