The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 308 The Demon King upgrades alone!

In the endless wasteland, a change is brewing quietly.

All I could hear was the dull and slow vibration coming from far away, like the mountains breathing, or like a sleeping giant beast waking up from its sleep.

"--boom."

It was a giant as tall as a ten-story building.

The crimson muscles were stirring ominously like burning lava, and the thick and twisted blood vessels crisscrossed into a web, wrapping around his entire body like overgrown vines.

His head was lowered and bent forward like a wild animal, with his neck bent in an unnatural manner.

A series of bony protrusions extended from his back toward the sky, as heavy and ferocious as the tusks of a mammoth.

With every breath he took, the bone spurs on his back trembled slightly, flapping their destructive aura like outstretched wings!

He was not wearing any armor, nor did he need any. His bare red fists looked like they were polished from rock and were stained with dark blood.

With just a casual swing of those fists, they could flatten a mountain to the ground!
What was even more terrifying was that the skin all over his body kept breaking because it could not withstand the expansion of muscles and blood vessels. From the wounds that bulged like pustules, little lives were falling out continuously.

They were twisted, ugly-looking khal cubs that fell out of his pustules, wailing and gathering around him in a flowing group of evil.

The young khals instinctively showed fear of him, wandering around at his feet, whimpering with their heads down, but they were unable to escape.

And he himself seemed to have long been accustomed to all this.

Other conscious Kao people avoided him when they saw him migrating, kept their distance from this giant and respectfully called him "Mountain Butcher".

As for his name, no one knows.

Even he himself didn't know.

He only remembered that from the moment he became conscious, a low, vague, crazy voice echoed in the depths of his broken soul -

'Omga!'

"My child... Fight! Destroy! Devour everything you see—"

'Until you are the only one on this planet!'

He regarded the dull whisper as the meaning of existence, and followed the voice from the dark all the way to this desolate land.

Omga suddenly stopped, raised his head sharply, and sucked in the desert air with his nostrils twitching violently like a whale sucking water.

“Right here—”

From the dead air, he caught a glimpse of fresh and strong scent.

That's the smell of blood.

And it was the blood from the recent slaughter, which had not yet completely cooled down.

Following the scent, he found the carcasses left behind by a group of khao beasts that had been hunted down by players including Yi Ye Zhi Qiu.

Looking at the disemboweled corpses and the blood scattered all over the ground, Omga grinned, revealing a hideous smile, with bloody shadows reflected in his scarlet eyes, like a beast that had been hungry for half a month seeing fat prey.

But at this moment, he also faintly smelled a hint of ominous breath, which seemed to be nearby not far from here.

Omgar frowned slightly, and even the cortex of his brain wrinkled.

But in just a few seconds, he gave up thinking and relaxed his tense nerves.

It's too complicated to think about that kind of thing.

Just eat it together.

In this land, he is invincible—at least that's what he thinks.

The next second, Omgar took heavy steps with a grim smile, dragging a group of young beasts hatched from pustules, and walked slowly and firmly towards the nearby mountains along the bloody smell...

……

In the distant cave, beside the slowly burning fire, sparks crackled and flapped their wings upwards.

The sky outside the cave was still dim, and time seemed to be frozen at dusk on this dead planet.

A ball of soul fire lit up in the cold skull. Yiye Zhiqiu suddenly sat up from the ground, and moved his knuckles eagerly, and his bones clicked.

Sign up!

Level up!

He was still bored because his goal was achieved an hour ago, but at this moment his heart was full of high morale and he couldn't wait to rush into the sea of ​​monsters!

There is no other reason——

This is no longer an ordinary game!
He not only saw the broad prospects of "Catastrophe OL" from the B01 update, but also saw the ambition of the dog planner to make it bigger and stronger!
Although his level is already maxed out, there is still experience bar to fill.

He planned to wait until the experience bar was full before going back to upgrade to the silver level. Doing it in one step would save time on traveling back and forth.

Almost at the same time as he stood up from the ground, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Fuck! Brother Ye! You are really an official smurf, right?!"

Three good brothers are already waiting for him online.

The Pig-Headed Knight was the first to jump out, shouting at him excitedly.

The bull-headed guy, who usually doesn't like to make a fuss, also became a little unserious this time.

"I'm starting to get suspicious, too. How come you finished a new version as soon as you reached the maximum level? This is too outrageous!"

Looking at the two fools helplessly, Yi Ye Zhi Qiu sighed and said.

"We have worked together so many times, why do you still think so?"

Say something.

With the potential of this game, there's no need to arrange for an official insider, right?
The Minotaur warrior chuckled and said while touching the back of his bald head.

"Is it not okay for me to just dream? What if your real official account also opens a backdoor for the brothers..."

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu interrupted him without any hesitation.

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible... Don't say I'm not. Even if I were, I wouldn't use this valuable job opportunity and incentive options to do something meaningless and stupid like this."

"Fuck! So ruthless!" The Pig-Headed Knight looked deeply shocked and covered his heart with his claws.

Without paying any attention to this funny guy, Yiye Zhiqiu paused for a moment and continued.

"Of course, regarding what you said about updating the game right after I reached the maximum level... My guess is that the operations team did notice our growth trajectory and then accelerated the testing rhythm based on our progress."

"What you said makes me feel like I'm being watched..." Hu Wan subconsciously looked around but saw nothing.

That's natural.

If the operations team wants to monitor them, there is no need to set up an additional account to follow them. They can directly adjust the data in the background.

This is true for any game.

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu didn't think there was anything wrong with it and said with a shrug.

“Being targeted by the authorities is not necessarily a bad thing. At least when you encounter a bug, you don’t have to worry about being ignored, and problems can be fixed as soon as possible.”

Of course, don’t even think about getting excess returns by relying on bugs.

But for him, this is not a regret.

He is not the kind of person who likes to take shortcuts, and most operators have a low tolerance for the exploitation of bugs.

"That's what I said...but it always feels weird when someone keeps staring at me," Hu Wan made a helpless expression, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. I'll get used to it slowly."

"Anyway, let's stop talking nonsense here."

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu patted his staff and continued speaking in a spirited manner.

"It's time to prepare for the level up!"

Hearing these words, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became lively again.

[Pig-Headed Knight] grinned, carrying a meter-long sword on his shoulder, and his slender forked tongue scraped the scales around his mouth in an obscene manner.

"I'm already sitting firmly!"

However, just as he put the sword on his shoulder, an earth-shaking tremor suddenly came from outside the cave.

The gravel fell down, and the faces of the four players changed at the same time.

"what's the situation?!"

The pig-headed guy looked towards the cave entrance suddenly, and Hu Wan had already taken the lead in taking the "Swift Wind Step", turning into a shadow and flashing towards the entrance of the cave.

But the moment he stood outside the cave entrance, the scene that came into his sight made him completely stunned and speechless for a moment.

This is--

WTF? !
I saw a giant with a red body walking in the barren wasteland. Every step he took left a huge footprint, followed by the wailing of the earth.

And this was not what surprised him the most.

What surprised him the most was that the pustules on the giant's body kept bursting, and dense groups of khao cubs were pouring out!
Those ferocious little devils rushed towards the mountain where they were from all directions like rolling mud.

Just when they went offline to eat, they were surrounded by monsters!

The monster seemed to have noticed him. A terrifying light shone from its scarlet pupils, and the murderous intent that was coming towards him was like a solid entity!
It's a pity that there is no saliva in my mouth.

Hu Wan could only swallow a mouthful of cold air with difficulty. The traps set up near the cave entrance could not give him any sense of security.

In the face of that magnitude and size, all struggles seemed pale and powerless.

Fear continued to tear at his nerves until a powerful voice came from behind him, hitting his head like a hammer.

"disperse!"

clang--!
With a slight sound echoing in the skull, Hu Wan seemed to wake up from a nightmare, and the negative emotions that were pent up in his heart disappeared instantly!

"You've been hit by a spell of fear." Yiye Zhiqiu walked out from the darkness, the two-handed staff in his hands emitting a faint green light.

Hu Wan indeed felt much better and looked at him gratefully.

"Thanks!"

This game is not only a real experience of extraordinary power -

Even the effects of negative states can be technically restored... although the senses conveyed to players have been weakened.

Hu Wan simply couldn't imagine what the experience would be like without the sensory dulling treatment.

There are people on this forum who are always clamoring for a 500% sensory enhancement mode. Wouldn't that just scare people into cardiac arrest?
Just crazy!

"polite."

Yiye Zhiqiu cast his gaze towards the huge monster in the distance, and the soul fire in his skull flickered slightly, like wild grass swaying in the wilderness.

Elite monster?
BOSS?

Or is it a monster that was temporarily edited by the dog planner in order to suppress his own progress?

No matter which one it was, the invisible power emanating from it far exceeded his past experience and cognition.

Even though he didn't know the opponent's level, he could feel that it was not an opponent he could defeat easily. The opponent must be at least gold level!

no doubt--

This is going to be a tough battle!
There is no time to hesitate!
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu thrust the two-handed staff in his hands heavily into the ground. Dark green magic light emerged from the soles of his feet, forming the shape of a magic circle.

As he began to prepare to cast the spell, he roared loudly.

"Let's start a fight! Cover me!"

"Ow—!"

The moment he finished speaking, the Pig-Headed Knight howled and rushed out first. He swung the butcher knife in his hand like a whirlwind, slashing left and right, and knocked down all the less than one meter tall, underdeveloped khal war beasts!
but--

Those who were chopped down were merely cannon fodder for the Kao cubs.

These little guys who are not even at the Black Iron level have no combat power at all, and their strength is only slightly stronger than that of Da Huang at the entrance of the village.

The minotaur warrior raised his sword and shield, took a defensive stance, and closely guarded the magic circle that Yi Ye Zhi Qiu had unfolded.

As for Hu Wan, he tried to break out of the encirclement of the beasts, but unfortunately the beast tide formed by those young khao beasts was too dense, and he was forced back several times. Looking at the four little ants struggling in the storm, the red giant grinned cruelly, and the murderous intent released from his scarlet pupils was even more terrifying.

He suddenly reached his hand behind him, as if squeezing a bubble on his body, and grabbed a turbid object that was waxy yellow and blood red.

It was a group of squirming chaotic embryos—

They squirmed like living amber, trying to break free from the shackles that bound them, and their mouths opened to let out twisted and silent wails.

"Roar--!"

The wailing seemed to turn into Omgar's roar.

Like a shot putter, he put the mixture of waxy yellow and blood-red object on his shoulder and threw it hard at the four players surrounded by the group of khao cubs.

The huge projectile was like a projectile thrown by a catapult, making a mournful cry in the air, and then smashed heavily into the mountain a kilometer away.

Looking at the projectile that suddenly appeared in the air, the soul fire in Yi Ye Zhi Qiu's skull suddenly shook. He gritted his teeth and completed the last spell, then swung the tip of the staff before the projectile began to fall faster.

"Tear the Flame Demon's Hand!"

A burning claw emerged from the roaring flames, like a giant dragon with its mouth open, biting at the accelerating projectile!
That was the most powerful steel-grade fire magic he mastered!
Almost half of his MP bar was consumed in just one blow!
The hand of the fire demon that stretched out to the sky did not disappoint his expectations. It grabbed the huge pustule that was whistling towards him and wrapped it up completely!
However, just when Yiye Zhiqiu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the flaming hand that was clenched in the air suddenly exploded into fireworks all over the sky.

boom! ! !
The shock wave of the explosion shattered the hand of the fire demon that existed like a solid entity, and hundreds of burning khal cubs fell towards them like rain!
"day--"

The Tauren warrior let out a short roar, and just as he raised his shield, he was hit hard, and the alloy shield surface was almost dented.

The khal cub standing on his shield let out a shrill scream, looked at him with bloodthirsty eyes as he was just a skeleton, then pounced on him like a mad dog and bit him.

The Minotaur warrior reacted quickly, stabbing the hideous face with the sword in his right hand and killing it without any suspense.

however--

The situation on the scene still did not allow him to be optimistic.

He had only killed one, but there were at least hundreds of monsters surrounding him! There was no telling how many were swarming up from the bottom of the mountain!

Not to mention the gradually approaching Kaa giant, whose ferocious face and scarlet pupils have become increasingly clear.

"Damn! There are too many of them!" The Minotaur warrior retreated while using the traps beside him to prevent himself from being surrounded by those ferocious monsters. Finally, his back was pressed against the wall.

His condition was relatively good, but his body was covered with skeletons, so the khal cubs didn't know where to start.

In comparison, the Pig-Headed Knight was in a much more miserable state. Facing these violent little brats, his body was already full of holes and pits, with few scales intact!

"The dog is planning against us, right?!"

"Fuck! It's all your fault for doubting our brother Yiye! Now he is directly summoning the BOSS to prove his innocence——"

"??? What does it have to do with me?"

Yiye Zhiqiu did not join his teammates' conversation. His entire attention was focused on the battle in front of him.

Waving the two-handed staff in his hand, he knocked away the approaching monster. He skillfully performed the cyclone spell and jumped back to create distance. At the same time, he completed the fireball spell and fired several fist-sized missiles in succession to block the monster flying towards him. He also supported Hu Wan who was rushing towards him.

His melee combat ability is not weak. After all, the first skill he learned was not magic, but the sword skills of the Dragon God Sect!

If it was just the Kao herd, with the strength of the four of them at the Steel Level, although it would be a stretch, they would not have no chance of winning.

Unfortunately, however, those khal cubs were not their real opponents, but merely the "dandruff" of a much larger monster.

The roar of a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting could be heard from mid-air, which was very close. The four players who were fighting at the entrance of the cave felt their hearts sink as they looked at the huge projection printed on the ground.

To finish——

In contrast, the "Mountain Butcher" Omga, who was looking down at the four little grasshoppers, showed a cruel grin and stretched out his hand as big as a city gate to cover their heads.

For him, slapping them to death is no different from slapping a few ants!
However, just when he was about to kill the four preys, a foreboding of death crept into Omgar's heart, so much so that even his soul trembled inappropriately, and his movements paused for a moment.

Faintly, he heard the whisper in the wind -

"Shadow of Withering."

"withdraw!"

Not missing this fleeting opportunity, Yiye Zhiqiu called upon his three teammates, and using the path opened by the fireball spell, they quickly rushed out of the area shrouded in shadows.

The hand as big as the city gate finally fell and slapped the place where they were originally standing, wiping out the traps and shelters they had set up, as well as the entire hilltop!

The noisy air currents carried the dust and sand, turning into a huge shock wave that almost pushed the four players down the hillside.

As a result, the herd of young animals surrounding them also suffered. They had rushed into the cave like a tide, and now they rolled down the mountain like a waterfall.

Looking at the mountain that was shattered by a slap, Yiye Zhiqiu felt a sense of fear in his heart, and at the same time turned around to look for the man who had just rescued him.

And at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, like a spear thrown from the air, hitting the giant's forehead straight!
After being hit on the head, Omgar let out a howl of pain, his scarlet pupils fixed on the four prey that had managed to escape.

His intuition told him that they were the ones who did it, but a mysterious voice suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart and called out to him in his ear.

"Not them—"

'In front of you on the left! You idiot!'

There was a hint of anxiety in the voice.

Omgar suddenly paused and slowed down. He raised his head and looked to his left, where he saw a figure wrapped in a black cloak standing there, looking at him expressionlessly.

In his hand he held a slender wand that was only half a meter long, but the aura flowing through the wand made him feel a panic from the depths of his soul.

'Kill him!'

There was no need for the mysterious whisper to say more. He let out a dull roar and swung out that huge and heavy palm again.

"Roar!!!"

The stench of rotting blood came along with the roaring shock wave, and was about to touch the corner of the figure's clothes, but was easily deflected by an invisible airflow.

Following the giant's gaze, Yiye Zhiqiu finally saw who the person was who helped, but he was also stunned for a moment.

That is……

Demon King?!
"Fuck..." The Pig-Headed Knight cursed subconsciously, staring at the Demon King standing on the top of the hill with his eyes wide open. All the Lizardmen were stunned.

Why is the devil here?

Do NPCs also need to level up? !
Without paying any attention to the astonishment of the four little players, Luo Yan just looked quietly at the muscular red giant.

At the same time that the huge scarlet pupil met his gaze, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Did you finally notice it?

Killing a monster by sneak attack will cause the experience value to decrease, so he chose to appear in the opponent's field of vision when delivering the final blow.

This is definitely not for show.

Looking at the huge hand whistling towards him, Luo Yan's expression did not change at all. He just moved his lips slightly and chanted an obscure spell lightly.

"The Netherworld: Whisper of the Dead!"

As the last syllable fell, the ground beneath the giant suddenly shook violently, and a dark green light spread from the soles of his feet.

The withered wasteland was painted the color of a cemetery. Skinny hands kept climbing up along his ankles, and were imprinted on his skin like tattoos.

In just a few breaths, the thick breath of death wrapped around his lower body and penetrated into the densely packed blood vessels.

"Roar--!"

Omgar let out a roar of pain and tried to break free from the breath of death, but it was in vain in the end.

The red muscles were shrinking under the corrosion of the breath of death, and the waxy yellow pustules were constantly bursting.

The group of khal cubs that were parasitic on his body let out shrill wails and struggled to turn into deformed corpses. The scarlet light in their eyes was gradually replaced by the green light that marked their identity as undead, and they began to lean over and gnaw on the body that gave birth to them.

Tear--!
The sound of flesh and blood being torn apart spread all over Omgar's body like bursting soap bubbles. His knees softened unconsciously and slammed heavily on the ground. The right hand that was stretched out to Luo Yan also lost its target and slapped in vain at the foot of the mountain below the latter.

A huge cloud of dust rose into the sky, but was pushed away by an invisible wall of air the moment it touched the mountain. It couldn't even blow up the cloak behind Luo Yan.

The distance that was so close seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Looking from afar, it seemed as if the arrogant giant surrendered to him and offered his soul in his hand.

The voice from the unknown disappeared, Omgar wailed in despair, but he could only watch his consciousness dissipate in the dispersing dust.

Finally he stopped panting, and countless young khals poured out of the ruptured pustules on his skin like ants fleeing from an anthill.

Looking at the epic battle, the soul fire swaying in Yi Ye Zhi Qiu's skull was filled with shock, just like a mayfly looking at Kunpeng in the sky.

Is this the power of the Demon King...

It's so terrifyingly strong!
In addition to awe in his heart, a strong desire for power was also ignited!

He wants to become stronger!

At the same time, Luo Yan, standing on the top of the mountain, retracted the magic wand that was pointed forward, as if he had put a pause on a performance.

"It turns out to be a being similar to 'Gray Wind'..."

It was a monster formed by stitching together a group of khao war beasts. Its soul level was not high, but its number was terrifying... just like the mother tree that resided in the Thunder County maze.

Maybe it was one million, maybe it was ten million... He didn't know the exact number. After all, the souls on the planet Chao were quite special, and they were something with highly similar frequencies.

Different from the creatures on the continent of Oss.

After experiencing countless thousands of years of fighting, the souls here have completely turned into tools that exist only for killing.

Perhaps after a few thousand years, they will completely become a unified will, without even the last trace of difference left, and together with the "Seed of Creation" of the entire planet, they will become a chaotic shape.

However, now that the corruption of the necropolis has spread here, they probably have little hope.

【

ID: Luo Yan

Race: human

Soul Level: Diamond (Level Cap LV130)

Level: LV.80 (+1)

Constitution: 45 (+1)

Power: 26
Agility: 27
Intelligence: 179 (+2)

Spirit: 153 (+2)

】

Luo Yan opened his attribute panel to confirm, and as expected, the experience bar was filled up again.

Now he has reached the middle stage of gold level!

At this pace, it might not take too long to reach platinum, and then I'll be able to fight in hell or on the surface.

Considering that his soul was basically upgraded by the power of his own faith, and the faith of the cemetery currently has a 100% dominance efficiency, he is even confident that he can fight with a diamond-level strongman.

"How could there be such an ugly monster..." Taf trembled in Sarah's arms, hugging her little head with her wings that had not yet grown hard.

This little guy has been with him on this planet for a week, but it obviously hasn't adapted to the environment here.

Luo Yan brought this guy along just to let her gain some experience and become an independent mount as soon as possible, so he ignored her complaints.

Just be happy if you can gain experience.

How many players dream of having this opportunity, but in the end they can only be used as bait.

By the way, this is the upgrade method that Luo Yan recently researched.

Through the quest, players are guided into the depths of the nameless wasteland, and then the fight between players and monsters is used to attract more powerful Chaos servants.

If he judges that he can win, he will act decisively.

This is the back garden of "Flame of Destruction" Kalmandes. There will always be Chaos Chosen ones attracted by the fights to please the gods, and he only needs to sit back and wait.

This is much faster than leveling up by killing monsters!
"Sarah, get ready to find the next target." After dispersing the wind wall that was wrapped around him, Luo Yan turned his gaze to Sarah who was standing not far behind him.

Sarah, holding the baby dragon, nodded slightly and spoke respectfully and obediently.

"Yes, Lord Demon King."
