Chapter 308 The Demon King upgrades alone!
In the endless wilderness, a change is quietly brewing.
Just listen to the dull and slow vibrations from far to near, like the mountains breathing, and like a sleeping giant waking up from its sleep.
It was a giant that was ten stories tall.
The red muscles stirred ominously like burning lava, and the thick and twisted blood vessels intertwined into a network, wrapping around his whole body like crazy vines.
His head was hung low, leaning forward like a wild animal, and the back of his neck was curved extremely unnaturally.
A series of bony protrusions extended from his back towards the sky, as heavy and ferocious as the tusks of a mammoth.
With every breath he took, the bone spurs on his back were trembling slightly, flapping with destructive aura like outstretched wings!
He was not wearing any armor, nor did he need any armor. His bare red fists were polished like rock and stained with dark blood.
Those fists can level a mountain to the ground with just one wave of their fists!
What is even more terrifying is that the skin all over his body is constantly breaking due to the inability to withstand the expansion of muscles and blood vessels, and from the wounds that bulge like pustules, little lives are continuously falling out——
Those are twisted and ugly Kaa cubs. They fell off from his pustules, wailing and gathered around him to form a flowing swarm.
Those Kaa cubs were instinctively afraid of him, lingering at his feet, lowering their heads and whining, but unable to escape.
And he himself seems to have been used to all this.
Other conscious Kaos saw him migrating and avoided him, keeping a distance from this behemoth, and respectfully called him the "Mountain Butcher".
As for his name, no one knows.
Even he himself doesn’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——
『Omgar!
My son... go and fight! To destroy! Devour everything you see——』
Until you become the only one on this planet! 』
He regarded the dull whisper as the meaning of existence, and followed the mysterious voice all the way to this desolate land.
Omgar suddenly stopped and raised his head suddenly, his nostrils flaring violently, sucking in the desert air like a long whale sucking water.
From the dead air, he caught a trace of fresh and strong breath.
That is the smell of blood.
And it is the blood of someone who has just been slaughtered and has not yet completely cooled down.
Following the guidance of the smell, he found the corpses left behind after players such as [One Leaf Zhiqiu] hunted the Kaos herd.
Looking at the disemboweled corpses and the blood scattered on the ground, Omgar opened his mouth and revealed a ferocious smile. The bloody light and shadow were reflected in his scarlet eyes, like a beast that had been hungry for half a month and saw a fat prey.
But at this moment, he also vaguely smelled an ominous breath, which seemed to be not far from here.
Omgar frowned slightly, and even the cortex of his brain wrinkled.
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 them together.
In this land, he is an invincible existence - at least he thinks so.
The next second, Omgar smiled ferociously and took heavy steps, dragging a group of young beasts hatched from pustules, and slowly but firmly walked towards the nearby mountainous area along the smell of blood...
…
In the cave in the distance, next to the slowly burning fire, fire particles crackled and fluttered upwards.
The sky outside the cave is still dim, and time seems to be frozen in dusk on this dead planet.
A ball of soul fire lit up in the cold skull. Yiye Zhiqiu suddenly sat up from the ground, moved his knuckles eagerly, and his bones clicked.
Sign up!
Leveling up!
An hour ago, he was bored because he had achieved his goal, but at this moment, his heart was full of high morale, and he wanted to rush into the sea of monsters immediately!
The reason is for no other reason——
∣ This is no longer an ordinary game!
From the B01 update, he not only saw the broad prospects of "Calamity OL", but also saw the ambition of Gou Planning to become bigger and stronger!
Although his level is already at full level, he still has an experience bar that can be filled up.
He plans to wait until the experience bar is full before going back to upgrade to the silver level. This will save him time in traveling back and forth.
At the same time he stood up from the ground, a familiar voice came from beside him almost immediately.
"Damn it! Brother Ye! Are you really an official account?!"
Three good brothers are already waiting for him online.
The pig-headed knight jumped out first, shouting at him with excitement.
Brother Niutou, who usually doesn't like to make noises, also became less serious this time.
「我特么也开始怀疑了，怎么你一满级新版本就做好了，这也太特么离谱了吧！」
无奈地看了这两个憨憨一眼，一叶知秋叹了口气说道。
“We have worked together so many times, how can you still think like this?”
Let me tell you.
With the potential of this game, there is no need to arrange an official mole, right?
The tauren warrior chuckled and touched the back of his bare head.
"Can't I just have a dream? What if you really open an official trumpet and open a back door for the brothers..."
Ye Zhiqiu interrupted him without politeness.
"Don't think about it, it's impossible... Don't say I'm not, even if I were, I wouldn't use this precious job opportunity and incentive options to do such a meaningless thing."
"Fuck! This is so heartless!" The pig-headed knight looked deeply struck, covering his heart with his claws.
Ignoring this live treasure, Yiye Zhiqiu paused for a moment and continued.
"Of course, as for what you said about me updating just after I reached full level... My guess is that the operations team did notice our growth trajectory, and then advanced the testing rhythm according to our progress."
"What you said made me feel like I was being watched..." Huwan subconsciously looked around, but saw nothing.
That's natural——
If the operation team wants to monitor them, they don't need to set up an additional account to follow them, they can just adjust the data directly in the background.
This is true for any game.
Yiye Zhiqiu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and shrugged.
"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 repaired as soon as possible."
Of course, don't even think about relying on bugs to obtain excess profits.
But to him, this is not a regret.
He is not the kind of person who likes to take shortcuts, and most operators have a very low tolerance for exploiting BUGs.
loglogue int Since this sentence was said, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became lively again.
[Pig-Headed Knight] grinned, put a meter-long sword on his shoulder, and scraped the scales around his mouth obscenely with his slender, forked tongue.
"I'm already sitting firmly!"
However, the moment he put the broadsword on his shoulder, the tremor of the earth shaking suddenly came from outside the cave.
The gravel fell, and the expressions of the four players all changed.
"What's going on?!"
The pig-headed man suddenly looked at the entrance of the cave, and Huwan had already taken the lead in taking the "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 caught his eye completely stunned him on the spot, and he was speechless for a moment.
This is——
What is this? !
I saw a red giant walking in the withered wasteland. Every step he took left a huge footprint, followed by the lamentation of the earth.
And this was not what surprised him the most.
What surprised him most was that the pustules on the giant's body were constantly bursting, and a dense herd of Kaa cubs was pouring out!
The little devils with claws and teeth were like rolling mud, rushing towards the mountain peak where they were from all directions.
Just as they were offline to eat, they were actually surrounded by monsters!
The monster seemed to have noticed him, its scarlet pupils emitted a frightening light, and the murderous intent rushing towards him was like a solid substance!
It’s a pity that there is no saliva in my mouth.
Hulwan could only barely swallow a mouthful of cold air. The traps scattered around the entrance of the cave could not bring him any sense of security.
In the face of that order of magnitude and volume, all struggles seemed pale and powerless——
Fear kept tearing at his nerves, until a sonorous and powerful sound came from behind him, hitting the top of his head like a hammer.
Dang——!
With a soft sound that echoed in the skull, it was like waking up from a nightmare all of a sudden, and the negative emotions that had been stuck in my heart suddenly disappeared!
"You have been hit by a fear spell." Yiye Zhiqiu walked out of the darkness, the two-handed staff in his hand emitting a faint green light.
Huchan really felt better and glanced at him gratefully.
"Thanks!"
This game is not only a real experience of extraordinary power -
Even the effects of negative status can be technically restored... although the senses conveyed to the player have been weakened.
Huchan simply couldn’t imagine what it would be like without sensory desensitization.
There are still people on this forum who are clamoring all day long for a 500% sensory enhancement mode. Wouldn’t that cause cardiac arrest?
It’s simply crazy!
Elite monster?
BOSS?
Or is it a monster that Dog planned to edit temporarily in order to suppress his own progress?
No matter which one it is, the invisible power exuded far exceeds his past experience and knowledge.
Even if he didn't know the opponent's level, he could feel that it was definitely not an opponent he could easily defeat. He was also a gold-level opponent!
There is no doubt about it——
This will be a hard battle!
There is no time to hesitate!
Ye Zhiqiu slammed the two-handed staff into the ground, and dark green magic light emerged from the soles of his feet, forming the shape of a magic circle.
While starting to prepare to cast the spell, he roared loudly.
"Start the team——! Cover me!"
"Ouch——!"
The moment he finished speaking, the pig-headed knight was already screaming and rushing out first. I saw the butcher knife in his hand swinging like a whirlwind, slashing left and right, knocking down all the Kaa beasts that were less than one meter tall and not yet fully developed!
But——
The ones that were chopped down were just cannon fodder for the Kaa cubs.
These little guys who are not at the black iron level have no fighting ability at all, and their strength is only slightly stronger than the big yellow at the entrance of the village.
The tauren warrior put up the sword and shield in his hand, put on a defensive posture, and closely guarded the magic circle unfolded by Yiye Zhiqiu.
As for Huwan, he tried to break out from the siege of the beast herd. Unfortunately, the tide of beasts formed by the Kaa cubs was too dense. He rushed forward several times but was forced back.
Looking at the four little ants struggling in the storm, the red giant grinned a cruel smile, and the killing intent released in the scarlet pupils became even more terrifying.
He suddenly reached his hand behind his back and grabbed a piece of sallow and blood-red turbid object as if squeezing out a pus bubble on his body.
It was a group of squirming chaos embryos——
They squirmed like living amber, trying to break free from the shackles that bound their bodies, opening their mouths to let out twisted and silent wails.
ôborled to ˈ ‘ Roar ——! ’ ˈ ˈ The wailing sound seems to have turned into Omgar 's roar .
Like a shot put thrower, he put the waxy and blood-red mixed object on his shoulder, and then threw it fiercely at the four players surrounded by the Kaa cubs.
The huge projectile was like a projectile thrown by a trebuchet. It made a mournful cry in the air, and then hit the mountain peak one kilometer away.
Looking at the projectile that suddenly appeared in the air, the soul fire in Kazuo Zhiqiu's skull suddenly flashed. He gritted his teeth and completed the last spell, and swung the tip of his staff before the projectile began to accelerate and fall.
"Tear·Hand of the Balrog!"
A flaming claw emerged from the roaring flames, like a giant dragon with an open mouth biting at the projectile that was accelerating its fall!
That is the most powerful steel-grade fire attribute magic he has mastered!
Nearly half of his MP tank was consumed in just one stroke!
And the hand of the Balrog reaching to the sky did not disappoint his expectations. It grabbed the huge pustule that was flying towards the sky and wrapped it up!
However, just when Yiye Zhiqiu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the flaming hands clenched in the air suddenly exploded into fireworks all over the sky.
Boom! ! !
The shock wave of the explosion shattered the hands of the Balrog, which existed as if they were entities, and hundreds of burning Kaa cubs fell in their direction like rain!
The Tauren warrior let out a short roar. As soon as he raised his shield, he received a solid blow on the shield, and the alloy shield was almost dented.
The Kaa cub stepping on his shield let out a shrill scream, looked at him who was just a skeleton with bloodthirsty eyes, and then pounced on him like a mad dog and bit him.
The tauren warrior reacted quickly, and quickly stabbed the hateful face with the sword in his right hand, killing him without any suspense.
· However——
· The situation at the scene was still not optimistic for him.
He only killed one, but there were at least hundreds of monsters surrounding him! There are countless people coming up from the bottom of the mountain!
Not to mention the approaching Kaa giant, its ferocious face and scarlet pupils have become increasingly clear.
"Damn! There are too many of them!" The tauren warrior retreated, using the traps beside him to prevent being surrounded by the monsters with claws and teeth, and finally his back was pressed against the wall.
His condition is pretty good, and the skeletons all over him make the Kaa cubs not sure where to start.
In comparison, the pig-headed knight was much worse. Facing these berserk brats, his body had been chewed into pits and only a few scales were intact!
"Dogs are planning to target us, right?!"
"Gan! It's all your fault for doubting our brother Kazuye! Now people directly summon the BOSS to prove their innocence——"
"???What does it have to do with me."
Ichiba Zhiqiu did not join in the conversation of his teammates. All his attention was focused on the battle in front of him at this moment.
Waving the two-handed staff in his hands, he knocked away the approaching monsters. He skillfully performed a cyclone jump to distance himself, and at the same time completed the fireball spell. He fired several fist-sized missiles in succession to block the monsters that flew towards him, and also supported Huwan who was rushing towards him.
His melee ability is not weak. After all, the first skill he learned was not magic, but the sword skill of the Dragon God Sect!
If it were just a herd of Kaos, with their four adamantine-level strength, although they were barely able to defeat them, they would not have no chance of winning.
However, unfortunately, those Kaa cubs are not their real opponents, they are just the "skin scraps" dropped from a larger monster.
The roar of landslides and earth-shattering came from the mid-air close at hand. Looking at the huge projection imprinted on the ground, the four players who were fighting fiercely at the entrance of the cave felt their hearts sinking.
End——
In contrast, Omga, the "Mountain Butcher" who looked down at the four little grasshoppers, showed a cruel smile and stretched out his hand as big as a city gate to cover their heads.
For him, shooting them to death is no different from shooting a few ants to death!
However, just when he was about to finish off the four preys, a sign of death crept into Omgar's heart, so much so that even his soul trembled unnecessarily, and his movements paused for a moment.
Faintly, he heard the whisper in the wind——
」 sinceous
The palm as big as the city gate finally fell, hitting the spot where they originally stood, erasing the traps and shelters they had set up, along with the entire hilltop!
The noisy air current envelops the sand and dust, turning into a huge shock wave that almost pushes the four players down the hillside.
As a result, the herd of cubs surrounding them also suffered. They rushed up to the cave like a tide, and now they rolled down the mountain like a waterfall.
Looking at the mountain peak that was smashed into pieces by a slap, Yiye Zhiqiu felt frightened. At the same time, he turned back and looked around for the dear friend who had just rescued him.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, like a spear thrown from the air, hitting the giant's head straight!
After receiving a blow on the top of his head, Omgar let out a howl of pain, and his scarlet pupils were locked on the four prey that had narrowly escaped.
His intuition told him that they were the ones who did it, but a voice suddenly came from the bottom of his heart and called out to him.
You idiot! 』
That voice had a hint of anxiety.
Omgar's movements suddenly slowed down, and he raised his head and looked to his left. He saw a figure wrapped in a black cloak standing there and looking at him expressionlessly.
Hand in his hand was a slender wand, only more than half a meter long. However, the breath flowing on the wand made him feel a panic coming from the depths of his soul.
‘Kill him! 』
Without the whisper in the dark, he let out a dull roar in his mouth, and waved the huge and heavy slap again.
Following the giant's gaze, Yiye Zhiqiu finally saw clearly who the person who came to help was, but he was also stunned for a moment.
That is...
The Demon King? !
"Fuck..." The pig-headed knight subconsciously cursed, looking straight at the Demon King standing on the top of the mountain, and the entire lizard people were stunned.
Why is the Demon King here?
Do NPCs also need to level up? !
Ignoring the astonishment of the four young players, Luo Yan just looked at the red giant with gnarled muscles quietly.
At the same time that the huge scarlet pupils met his gaze, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Have you finally noticed it?
Monsters killed due to sneak attacks 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 not just to show off.
Looking at the huge roaring palm, Luo Yan's expression did not change at all. He just moved his lips slightly and recited an obscure incantation lightly.
As the last syllable fell, the ground under the giant suddenly trembled violently, and dark green light spread from the soles of his feet.
The yellow wasteland was painted into the color of a cemetery, and skinny palms climbed up along his ankles, 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 dense blood vessels.
Omgar let out a roar of pain, trying to break free from the shackles of the breath of death, but in the end it was all in vain.
The red muscles shrank under the corrosion of the breath of death, and the waxy yellow pustules kept bursting.
The kaa cubs parasitizing on him all let out piercing wails, struggled and turned into deformed dead bodies. The scarlet light in their eyes was gradually replaced by the green light that marked the identity of the undead, and they began to lean over and bite the bodies that gave birth to them.
Tear apart——!
The sound of flesh and blood being separated filled Omgar's body like constantly bursting soap bubbles. His knees unconsciously softened and hit the ground heavily. The right hand reaching for Luo Yan also lost its target and hit the foot of the mountain under the latter in vain.
Hands of dust rose into the sky, and the moment they touched the mountain peak, they were pushed away by an invisible wall of air, unable to even blow the cloak behind Luo Yan.
The close distance is like an insurmountable chasm.
Looking from a distance, it seems as if the arrogant giant surrendered at his feet and stretched out his hand to sacrifice its soul.
The sound in the darkness disappeared, and Omgar wailed desperately, but he could only watch his consciousness dissipate in the scattered dust.
At last he stopped panting, and countless khal cubs poured out of the pustules on his broken skin, like ants escaping from an anthill.
Looking at the epic battle, the soul fire shaking in Yiye Zhiqiu's skull was full of shock, like a mayfly looking at the Kunpeng in the sky.
Is this the power of the Demon King...
It is so powerful and terrifying!
While he was in awe, a strong desire for power also ignited in his heart!
He wants to become stronger!
At the same time, Luo Yan, who was standing on the mountain peak, retracted the wand he pointed forward, as if putting a stop to a performance.
"It is actually an existence similar to "Grey Wind"..."
That monster was stitched together by a group of Kaa war beasts. Its soul level is not high, but its number is terrifying... just like the mother tree that lives in the maze of Thunder County.
Maybe it’s one million, maybe it’s ten million... He doesn’t know the specifics. After all, the soul on the planet Kaa is quite special, and it’s something with a highly similar frequency.
Different from the creatures on Osland.
After experiencing countless thousands of years of fighting, the souls here have completely turned into tools that exist only for killing.
Perhaps in a few thousand years, they will completely become a unified will, with not even the last ripple of difference left, and together with the "seed of creation" of the entire planet, they will turn into the shape of chaos.
However, now that the corruption of the necropolis has spread here, they probably have no hope.
Level: 80 (+1)
Con: 45 (+1)
Strength: 26
Agility: 27
Intelligence: 179 (+2)
Spirit: 153 (+2)
Luo Yan opened his attribute panel to confirm. As expected, the experience bar was filled again.
Now he has reached the mid-level gold level!
At this pace, it may not take too long to reach platinum, and by then you will be able to fight in both hell and on the surface.
Considering that his soul is basically upgraded by the power of his faith, and the faith of the necropolis is currently 100% controlling, he even has the confidence to fight against a diamond-level strongman.
"How could there be such an ugly monster..." Taff shivered in Sarah's arms and hugged her little head with her wings that had not yet grown strong.
This little guy has followed him to this planet for a week, but it is obvious that he still has not adapted to the environment here.
Luo Yan only brought this guy with him so that she could gain experience and become an independent mount as soon as possible, so he did not pay attention to her complaints.
Have fun if you can get some experience.
How many players dream of having this opportunity, but in the end they end up being used as bait.
By the way, this is the upgrade method that Luo Yan recently researched.
Guide players to the depths of the nameless wasteland through tasks, and then use the fight between players and monsters to attract more powerful servants of Chaos.
If he judges that he can defeat him, he will take action decisively.
This is the back garden of Kalmandes, the "Flame of Destruction". There will always be a Chosen God of Chaos who is attracted by the fight to please the gods. He just needs to wait and see.
This is much faster than farming mobs to upgrade!
"Sarah, get ready to find the next target." After the wind wall surrounding him dispersed, Luo Yan turned his attention to Sarah, who was standing not far behind him.
Sarah, who was holding the baby dragon, nodded slightly and said respectfully and submissively.
"Yes, Lord Demon King."
