Chapter 45: Treasure Box Monster and Explosive Soldier Trap
The demons are a cruel, cunning, evil and bloodthirsty race.
Chaos is the biggest characteristic of this race. Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. all have more or less common racial characteristics, such as pointed ears, short stature, etc.
But it is not like this for the demons. Each of them looks strange and varied. What they look like depends entirely on what kind of monsters their parents have eaten. The more of a certain kind of monster they eat, the more the demons born will look like that kind of monster.
However, the authenticity of this statement remains to be verified, because some people have tried to feed the demons only vegetarian food, and the result was that no vegetative state was born.
In short, as long as a creature has horns on its head, a tail behind it, dark skin and various mutated features, it is a demon.
They possess intelligence no less than that of humans, but their desire to kill far exceeds that of humans, and therefore they are notorious on the continent.
Every one or two hundred years or two or three hundred years, a super individual will be born among the demons, called the "Demon King". At that time, the demons will obey the command of the Demon King and set off a disaster that sweeps across the continent.
When the devil destroys the world, heroes will stand up. Historical records show that the devil has never defeated a hero.
Today, the demons are hiding in the western continent, lying dormant and waiting for the Demon King to revive.
So how did these things get into the Thane dungeon?
The Kingdom of Anor is bordered by the sea on the east, shrouded in thick fog all year round on the north, separated from other human countries by a vast desert on the south, and bordered on the Western Continent where demons reside on the west.
Fortunately, there are continuous high mountains between the two places to block the miasma, but there are not many people living on the border of the Kingdom of Anor.
Bed City is located on the southwest side. It is not considered the border, but it is a bit of a stretch to classify it as inland. It is stuck in the middle.
If the demons want to come to Bed City, they will have to pass through dozens of large cities. There is also strict demon detection magic at the border. How did they get here alive?
Is there anything in Bed City that is worth them risking their lives to come here?
"I want to catch a few people and ask them questions,"
Gong Qiying became interested.
Although his current race is zombies and his daily job is to harm adventurers who are currently mainly humans, he always thinks of himself as a good person.
He also has a simple emotion towards the demons, who are hated by everyone - he wants to kill them.
Whether in public or in private, he cannot pretend not to see it. After all, the demons will kill people. If a demon kills one more person, his dungeon will have one less potential customer.
You ask why not use demons instead of humans? They earn the same amount of spiritual power anyway.
The answer is that Gong Qiying prefers humans to demons, it's that simple.
Capture two and torture them, and break the limbs of the rest and throw them out of the dungeon to let the people outside deal with them.
He immediately came up with a plan and continued to keep an eye on the demons' every move to see if there was anything he could do along the way.
"The direction they went. I remember there was a new trap over there, which could be used."
Five demons were walking in the swamp.
There was no light in their eyes, as if they were covered by a layer of shadow, but this also made their appearance even more terrifying.
There was no communication between them, and they looked as if they regarded their companions as nothing. However, when a monster rushed over to attack them, they attacked in unison.
“Gada gada——”
Under the control of Gong Qiying, several skeleton monsters rushed towards a demon whose body was covered with blades and even his arms were shaped like long swords. According to common sense, skeleton monsters are resistant to attacks with slashing attributes.
The demon also knew this theory. He just turned slightly, and a sound of breaking through the air was heard. An iron ball as big as a human head suddenly appeared and smashed the skeleton monsters into pieces.
Being shattered to this extent, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to get up for a while.
A demon silently took back the iron ball. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the iron ball was growing on his body. His left arm was a tentacle, the top of which was tightly connected to the iron ball.
The attack method of these demons is to use the characteristics of their bodies. Those with long swords in their arms will use slashing, and those with wings on their backs will fly up and charge.
"Good reaction,"
Gong Qiying then controlled the monster to attack the demons. However, no matter whether it was a sneak attack or a head-on confrontation, the opponent had a way to parry it, and at most they would suffer some injuries as a price.
He conducted five waves of attacks, and the final result was that two demons were seriously injured and three were slightly injured.
But the demon's flesh and blood squirmed for a while, and then recovered all the injuries he had inflicted with great difficulty. This shows that the demons have a strong recovery ability.
However, even though their appearance had recovered, the two seriously injured demons began to walk unsteadily, and the physical exhaustion could not be replenished in a short time.
"She only looks intimidating on the outside, but her actual combat capability may be even worse than Stellan's." Unconsciously, Gong Qiying had already used the people around him as a unit of measurement for combat capability.
The good news is that the fighting power of these demons is not particularly strong and can be defeated.
The bad news is that if demons of this strength can sneak in, what are the guards of Bed City doing?
Are the people near the portal blind?
Under the pursuit and blockade of the monsters, the demons' footsteps became hurried. They ran around in the swamp like headless flies and soon lost their way.
During their escape, any monster that got in front of them would be ruthlessly killed. Even though they were being chased by many monsters and would be surrounded and killed if they were a little slower, the demons were willing to waste time killing the nearest monster.
Could it be that the demons were really bloodthirsty as the rumors said? So bloodthirsty that they would not care about anything?
At this moment, a treasure chest appeared in front of them. There were many dead trees around the treasure chest. At first glance, it seemed that the treasure chest was surrounded, with only one opening facing the demons.
The demons looked at each other and still said nothing, but they had already made a decision and walked over together to open the treasure chest.
Should we say they were careless or ignorant? In any case, they walked into the circle of dead trees together.
A demon knocked on the treasure chest to make sure there was something inside, and then opened the treasure chest with a little force.
The nearby demons also gathered around curiously.
There was something inside the treasure chest, but it was strange—a slippery, slimy tongue and a row of sharp teeth along the edge of the chest.
This is a fucking treasure chest monster!
Before the demons could react, two skinny and pale arms suddenly jumped out of the treasure chest, tightly grabbed the demon closest to it, opened its big mouth, and bit off half of the demon's body in one bite!
The surrounding demons also came to their senses and attacked the treasure chest monster like a storm, tearing it into pieces in the blink of an eye!
But it's too late!
When they wanted to turn back, the retreat route disappeared without a trace! Dense dead trees surrounded them, even blocking the sky.
At this moment, a dangerous aura appeared and bright light appeared on the ground. It turned out to be a magic circle. It was dizzying at a glance. It was estimated that there were at least twenty or thirty of them!
In every magic circle, the figure of a monster is slowly taking shape!
"Finally took the bait,"
Gong Qiying's zombie face grinned, revealing a terrifying smile.
This trap was thought up by him when he was recalling "Sword Art Online".
