Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 769: Captivity
Demon City.

"what--"

Xiang Shuifan, who was dressed in bright clothes, was thrown heavily into the muddy ground like a pigsty.

He hurriedly got up, baring his teeth and trying to resist, but two rectangular bronze faces, each more than three meters tall, were almost in front of him.

Although they couldn't communicate in words, the saliva flowing from their mouths and the sound of their teeth grinding revealed their greed.

But they didn't eat him.

At least not now.

Xiang Shuifan thought of the advice of the man on the road. The half-body in the monster's big mouth was making a hoarse warning.

"Don't resist the demons in the demon city! !"

Therefore, Xiang Shuifan did not move.

Sure enough, with Xiang Shuifan's compromise, the two bronze-faced monsters could only endure their greed and slowly retracted their big heads, guarding outside the pigpen like two door gods.

"..."

Xiang Shuifan clenched his fists and remained silent, angry but not daring to speak, and at this moment...

rustling --

Some tiny noises came from behind.

Xiang Shuifan turned around suddenly and saw a group of human slaves hiding in a dark corner of the pigsty, looking at him curiously.

They had only scraps of cloth to cover their bodies, and they all had scars to varying degrees, and they were all skinny.

"clothes……"

"He's new here..."

A few of them were walking in the front and suddenly pounced towards Xiang Shuifan!
His face changed, Xiang Shuifan stood still and got into a stance!

The first person who attacked was hit on the back by his raised hand. While saliva was spitting on half of his body, he fell to the ground and seemed to be unconscious.

But Xiang Shuifan had no time to think, because the second person had already attacked. He took two steps back, created some space, and punched him directly in the front teeth!
boom!
With one punch, the man started bleeding from his mouth and nose, one of his teeth flew out, and he fell on his back.

When the third person attacked, Xiang Shuifan had already found his form. He ducked to avoid the attack and suddenly rushed into the enemy's arms, leaning against a strong iron mountain...

boom!
With such a powerful attack, the enemy's feet will be pushed more than ten centimeters off the ground and knocked away heavily.

His series of operations were smooth and flowing. When the people behind attacked again, Xiang Shuifan either punched or slapped them, or pushed and pulled them, and soon several people were knocked down and he took control of the situation.

As seven or eight people were knocked to the ground, those who wanted to rush forward all stopped.

They looked at Xiang Shuifan nervously and timidly, not daring to do anything rash again.

However, just as there are circles in every place, even in this demon city dominated by demons, in this small enclosure where humans are reduced to food for demons and livestock, there are so-called local tyrants.

tread.

tread.

tread.

A man who was almost naked, with only important parts covered, but wearing a thick fleece coat and dragging a long, rusty iron sword, walked towards Xiang Shuifan step by step.

Those who had been surrounding Xiang Shuifan immediately made way for him.

Xiang Shuifan sneered.

"Even in such a situation, we humans are still killing each other."

Compared to the group of people around him who felt that even talking was a waste of energy and had entered extreme energy-saving mode, this local tyrant was obviously living a slightly better life.

But his clothes were not even as complete as those worn by Xiang Shuifan.

"You're new here, you're very strong. But believe me, you won't be so arrogant for more than a few days, and you'll soon end up like us."

The local tyrant was talking and his pace was gradually quickening.

"This place will turn us into something neither human nor ghost, but as long as you still want to live... you have no choice but to do this and follow my rules!"

tread! !

The speed suddenly increased, Xiang Shuifan's face changed, and it was too late when he wanted to react.

hum! ! !
A sword blade passed across his shoulder!
Blood spurted out immediately, Xiang Shuifan screamed in pain, and quickly rolled to the side.

When he stood up and looked ahead, he saw that the local tyrant was breathing heavily, as if the previous blow had consumed a lot of his energy.

Very strong!

This guy is obviously very strong! But his physical condition prevents him from exerting his full strength!

Realizing this, Xiang Shuifan endured the pain and rushed forward!
If we want to seize the time difference, we must get close...

The confrontation here was about to become increasingly intense when the two big-faced monsters guarding the gate shouted nervously.

"Welcome to Lord Oak Golden Chair Monster!"

"Welcome to Lord Oak Golden Chair Monster!"

As soon as these words came out, the local tyrant who was about to teach him a lesson suddenly changed his expression.

Before Xiang Shuifan could rush to him, the local tyrant had already begun to retreat.

And it wasn't just him. Everyone else in the pigsty seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying. They rolled over and fell and ran madly to the dark corners of the pigsty.

All of a sudden, the only people left beside Xiang Shuifan were the ones he had knocked down, still unconscious on the ground; the others had all disappeared in a flash.

Xiang Shuifan turned his head in confusion and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a tall figure, who had to bend slightly to pass through the low gate, while picking his teeth with a bone. The demon then stood up straight.

Its huge size instantly cast a shadow over the entire pigpen.

Xiang Shuifan looked carefully and found that the bone that the oak golden chair monster was using to pick his teeth was actually... a human hand bone!

Breathing becomes rapid.

Xiang Shuifan clenched his fists and looked up at the oak golden chair monster.

"My mother...where did you take my mother?"

He shouted loudly, but what he got was just a look of contempt from the Oak Golden Chair Demon, as if it was a toy.

It stretched out its big oak hand and grabbed the group of unconscious people around Xiang Shuifan, forcing Xiang Shuifan to quickly step back a distance to avoid being caught.

Seven or eight people were thrown into the air by the Oak Golden Chair Monster like after-meal desserts. The monster opened its mouth and took the people into its mouth. It chewed them a few times with big mouthfuls. Amidst the scattered limbs and splattered blood, the Oak Golden Chair Monster made a swallowing motion and had eaten all the people into its stomach.

"Master Oak Golden Chair Demon... This, this is not good..."

One of the bronze-faced monsters guarding the gate said nervously while trembling.

"not good?"

The oak-golden chair demon looked down at it with sidelong glances.

"What's wrong with it? Tell me about it."

The bronze-faced demon's body suddenly stiffened, and he lowered his head and trembled with fear, but he still spoke with gritted teeth.

"Here, the humans here are all kept here by the order of Lord Green Demon King. You can't, you can't... kill them and eat them raw at will..."

The Oak Golden Chair Monster grinned, and the juice from the corpse's remains splashed out from between its teeth, staining its mouth bright red.

"Green Demon King? Listen, what a strange word! You are still guarding your four demon kings! Now is the era of the long-haired fire demon master!"

"The Demon King acquiesced, and the great demons from all sides showed their might! The four former demon kings are nothing! Not to mention that they have disappeared for more than a month, even if they were still in the Demon Capital and reappeared, there would be no place for them to stand in this Demon Capital!"

The Oak Golden Chair Monster spoke arrogantly and wildly, shaking his head.

It raised its hand, stretched out two fingers, pointed at the heads of the two bronze-faced monsters, and poked them hard twice.

"Remember, your boss now is the long-haired fire demon! He is the real demon king! The new demon king!"

The situation was stronger than people, so the two gatekeepers dared not resist and just nodded tremblingly in agreement.

Seeing this, the Oak Golden Chair Demon sneered.

"With so many enclosures, not a single person has been left after they were eaten up. I wonder why Lord Long-haired Fire Demon reserved the last enclosure for him."

His sight fell on Xiang Shuifan. When Xiang Shuifan's muscles were tense, that dangerous sight swept behind him, to the corner where the local tyrant was hiding.

Reaching out and grabbing casually, screams, cries of fear, and cries for help rang out wildly, accompanied by the oak-gold chair monster squeezing hard.

Just like squeezing juice or sauce, he squeezed the part that was grasped by his palm into a paste.

Then he withdrew his hand and placed the dirty hand, which was covered with human corpse residues, internal organs and other mixtures, in front of several demons that followed him.

"lick."

The demons immediately knelt down and licked it with their tongues.

The scene was like some kind of primitive loyalty ceremony, which made Xiang Shuifan shudder with fear and feel nauseous.

"Very good, from now on you are my people, and also the people of Lord Longji Treading Fire Demon. Be loyal to Lord Treading Fire Demon, and you will have a bright future in the Demon Capital!"

"Yes!!"

Xiang Shuifan could feel that the demons exuded an aura that was comparable to that of the Oak Golden Chair Demon, or even stronger, but in front of the Oak Golden Chair Demon, they were all obedient and served.

The situation in the Demon City was even more terrifying than he had imagined!
Xiang Shuifan realized that he had thought the situation naively, but his mother was captured by the demons in Yaodu, so he had to rescue her, he had to rescue her!
His body and hair were given to him by his parents, so he would give up his own life to save his mother!

But the problem is, according to what the demon said, the humans in other captive areas... seem to have been eaten by the demon.

Is the mother...still alive?
"What's your name?"

When Xiang Shuifan was thinking of this, a voice suddenly sounded from beside him.

Xiang Shuifan then noticed that the arrogant Oak Golden Chair Monster had already left with his men.

The local tyrant who was dragging a giant rusty iron sword had come up to him at some point.

Xiang Shuifan was afraid of his carelessness.

But as a warrior, he was just a rookie and not a veteran. He just rushed into the demon city with passion in an attempt to save his mother.

"…My name is Xiang Shuifan. My mother was captured by demons and taken to the Demon City. I want to save her!"

"What a coincidence."

The local tyrant sneered.

"I don't know who you want to save, but I know where all the other humans in the demon city are imprisoned, except for our captive place. What do you think? Boy, do you want to... join forces with me?"

Xiang Shuifan looked at the local snake in confusion. It seemed that the excitement of the previous wave of demons eating people had changed the local snake's mind.

"why?"

Xiang Shuifan asked.

"It's very simple, because in the past... these demons would not eat people so casually. Although we were kept in captivity, our treatment has always been good. Apart from the lack of freedom, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. On the contrary, I am fortunate to be able to survive and save my life in this demon city full of demons."

The local tyrant continued in a deep voice.

"At that time, although there were occasional demons that attacked us, they were quickly dealt with by thunder, and their bodies were even hung at the gate of our enclosure for public display. It was a public warning that no demons in the city were allowed to attack us."

"However, these good days gradually got out of control after those old demon kings went into seclusion and disappeared."

"Power shift..."

The local tyrant couldn't help but sneer when he said this.

Even he himself found it a little funny that he actually used human words to describe the situation of the monsters.

"The old demon king disappeared, showing weakness. The new demon king began to emerge from the water. In the fierce struggle, it seems that a new demon king candidate has emerged, but this has nothing to do with us humans who are kept in captivity. The only thing that is related is that the demon king who protected us... is gone."

"So you've seen the situation here. Although the old demon king's intimidation is still there, it's becoming less and less influential. If we don't find a way to save ourselves, no one will be able to leave the enclosure alive!"

"I wanted to continue the old order and turn a blind eye to the changes in the outside world. But when it happened to me, I realized... I had to find a way to survive!"

Xiang Shuifan was silent, thought, and then asked.

"You know my mother..."

"feast."

The local tyrant interrupted directly.

"Except for ours, all humans in the several enclosures were captured and taken away. They will be served as the main dish to other demons at the feast for the new demon king to be crowned."

The local tyrant, as expected of a local tyrant, was well-informed and brought a lot of benefits to the young boy who had just been locked up in the enclosure.

"Then my mother..."

"Yes! If she is still alive!"

"…Tell me about your plan."

The local tyrant laughed.

He had been imprisoned here for quite a long time, so he naturally had an idea of ​​how to escape, and he had already implemented part of the plan by digging out a passage.

It's just that the risk is too great, so I've been hesitating whether to escape.

After all, being kept in captivity means your life is not in danger, but if you escape, you will become food for all the demons at any time.

But now, this balance has been broken. There is no demon king to protect these "livestock". If they want to survive, they have to rely on themselves!

The demon city is very big.

It is unrealistic to want to escape directly.

But if...if we make some noise at the feast where the new demon kings gather and attract attention, perhaps the chances of escaping successfully can be greatly improved.

Although the rest of the people all looked sick and had little fighting ability, as long as they still wanted to survive, they would not stay there and wait to die.

Therefore, the local tyrants' plan naturally includes this group of people.

Even if it was just to disperse and attract the attention of other demons, it would be considered a contribution to his escape.

Of course, when it comes to wording, the local tyrants will definitely not speak so bluntly.

After a simple deception, this group of guys who had no fighting ability, no brains, and even malnourished, quickly obeyed the arrangements of the local tyrant.

When night fell, the group quickly escaped from the enclosure.

Compared to usual days when the streets are full of monsters, at this time in the Monster City, there are obviously fewer monsters on the streets.
