CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 143: REINFORCEMENTS, FRONT CONFRONTATION!_1
"What a boring joke!"
Aros stood at the rear, looking at the bomb traps laid by humans, and couldn’t help but shake his head.
"If this is all they’re capable of, this world won’t last ten sunrises and sunsets before my Demon Army!"
"HEH."
Hearing Aros’s words, the Black Robe Demon Fiend standing next to him scoffed and lightly pointed at the Exchange Stone Pillar not far away.
"See that thing? Forget about ten sunrises and sunsets; with this thing here, prepare for a long battle."
Aros glumly glanced at the Exchange Stone Pillar, then looked back at the Black Robe Demon Fiend, his lips twitching uncontrollably.
The Ancient Demon had obviously seen the Exchange Stone Pillar long ago. His previous words were just an attempt to act tough. He hadn’t expected the Black Robe Demon Fiend beside him to expose him so ruthlessly!
"It’s the damned Dominator again! What an old rival!"
"Who can say otherwise? We’ve struggled for so long; wouldn’t it be better to just accept death quietly?"
When they mentioned the Dominator, both Demon Fiends displayed a heartfelt disgust and hatred. Through their lengthy confrontation, they had come to understand the Dominator. And when it came to things they understood, not many creatures would feel fear!
「...」
When the bomb exploded, Cyclops’s Spiritual Fluctuation resounded in Wen Yu’s mind.
"Boss, I’m back."
"A bit slow, but not too late!"
At least, not for Wen Yu!
First, a commotion arose in the distant forest, then roars echoed far and wide! This not only shocked the humans at the stronghold but also slightly deterred the Demon Fiends that were still rushing forward.
"Halt!"
With a command in the Demon Realm Language from Aros, the restless Soot Skin Demon Fiends chaotically halted!
At this moment, Wen Yu also arrived at the entrance of the stronghold with a group of professionists.
Looking at the Demon Tribe with their varied appearances before him, Wen Yu sighed deeply!
In his past life, he had once struggled to survive in front of these Demon Fiends, living in constant fear.
But now, he was leading all the creatures within the barrier, confronting these beings head-on!
And I will defeat all of you, exterminate every last one! Wen Yu thought. At the same time, his eyes narrowed slightly as he seriously observed the variegated Demon Tribe before him.
From behind, a massive, deep-gray figure rushed to Wen Yu’s side at extreme speed!
Cyclops was back!
Accompanying Cyclops were all the mutant creatures from the mountains!
It was like an earthquake. Mutant creatures of all sizes rushed from the mountain directly to the vicinity of the stronghold, then gradually stopped!
"WHIMPER... WHIMPER..."
A faint whimpering sound came from Cyclops’s back. Wen Yu then looked up and saw Little Dragon in Mini Form, standing on Cyclops’s back and waving to him.
"All, here."
The childish voice echoed in Wen Yu’s mind. Seeing Little Dragon’s proud look, Wen Yu almost rolled his eyes!
"You’re late, um, by tens of minutes."
"Tens of minutes? How many is that?"
"SIGH!"
Wen Yu shook his head with a bitter smile, then his tone shifted.
"You’ve come at just the right time!"
"See? I told you. What I, promise, I, can do!"
Wen Yu gave Little Dragon a thumbs up, but said nothing more.
Little Dragon was clearly happy to see Wen Yu again.
"These, are, what you said, food?"
"Yes."
Wen Yu nodded.
"How is it? Looks tasty, doesn’t it?"
"Yes!"
Little Dragon nodded heavily.
"And, they, have, the scent, of hawks, on them."
The scent of hawks? Wen Yu silently repeated to himself, his brows knitting slightly before he pushed the thought to the back of his mind.
As for scents and auras, Wen Yu wasn’t particularly sensitive to them, so naturally, he couldn’t make sense of what Little Dragon was referring to.
Moreover, the focal point at the moment wasn’t investigating the unknown, but rather...
The Touch of Greed in his hand lengthened swiftly, and the look in Wen Yu’s eyes became increasingly calm.
Calm always precedes the storm!
「...」
A commotion arose in the Demon Group around a hundred meters away.
The three Blue Giants at the forefront slowly moved aside, allowing the two Demon Fiends behind them to come forward.
An Ancient Demon and a Black Robe Demon Fiend.
The Ancient Demon watched Wen Yu, who stood at the forefront, quietly. After quite some time, a hoarse voice slowly echoed out.
"You’re the Human Race, aren’t you?"
He spoke in Mandarin! Perhaps these members of the Demon Tribe had already investigated Earth thoroughly.
Wen Yu nodded.
"Then, what are those behind you?"
Wen Yu glanced back at the multitude of mutant beasts covering the ground behind him, then turned around and said seriously.
"What’s behind me are my comrades. You can call us, Earth Creatures."
The Ancient Demon nodded. "Earth Creatures, a good name. Our scouts reported that you humans are the rulers of this planet and, moreover, harbor many arrogant thoughts. I didn’t expect to encounter such an interesting human on this minor mission."
"If it’s Earth Creatures, this just got a lot more interesting!"
"Kill! All! Of! Them!"
Accompanied by Ancient Demon Aros’s fierce roar, the Demon Army moved!
"ROAR!"
The tiny Little Dragon on Cyclops’ back let out a roar disproportionate to its size as it watched the Demon Fiends rapidly approaching.
With the king’s roar, the mutant creatures rapidly surged past Wen Yu, charging at the Demon Fiends!
Like two gigantic waves, the two sides clashed on the not-so-large battlefield!
In the blink of an eye, blood of various colors splattered everywhere, and roars filled Chaihe Town!
「...」
The professionists behind Wen Yu looked at each other, standing still, unsure of what they could do!
Given the scale and situation of the current battle, these insignificant professionists were indeed quite "useless"!
"Go on, the mutant beasts won’t attack you!"
After Wen Yu spoke, Sun Ruixing was the first to charge out. Brandishing his shield, he crushed the head of a Soot Skin Demon Fiend.
Only then did the professionists react, hesitatingly walking toward the battlefield.
Only now, after witnessing the war between the vast hordes of mutant creatures and Demon Fiends, did these professionists realize just how laughable the power they prided themselves on truly was.
At the back of the crowd, Li Shanlin yanked Zhang Lifei’s sleeve hard.
The two exchanged a look and silently ran towards the deep mountains.
Their actions constituted desertion in the face of battle, but at this moment, no one would pay attention to such a trivial matter.
Few people noticed their furtive actions.
Well, except for Sun Aotian!
Seeing Zhang Lifei and Li Shanlin deserting the battlefield, an idea struck Sun Aotian, and he quietly began to move towards the edge of the battlefield.
Wen Yu wouldn’t forgive this behavior, but if Wen Yu didn’t see it, that would be another story.
Besides, it’s uncertain if even you will survive! Sun Aotian mused, watching the overwhelming horde of Demon Fiends before him.
You all want to die, but I’m not joining you. Besides, in a battle of this scale, my presence or absence won’t make much difference!
The complexity of human nature is truly unfathomable! Even knowing that only one side, either the Demon Fiends or the Earth Creatures, could survive, some people still clung to the belief that their individual power was insignificant to the overall situation. They harbored thoughts like, "If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
Few delved deeper: When all the ’tall ones’ are dead, who will be the next ’tall one’?
