The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 309: Potion? What potion?
On the other side, deep in the nameless wasteland, the noisy sandstorm was raging under the dim sky.

Behind the dust that covered the sky, a well-trained team wearing heavy armor was slowly forming a formation and surrounding a group of dying khal war beasts.

They were a team from the Long Xing Tian Xia Guild, with about two hundred members. If the skeleton soldiers summoned by the Acolyte players were included, the total number would be over a thousand.

Compared to the bandit-like group a year ago, this group of local tyrants who had upgraded their weapons to new ones already had the feeling of a regular army. Not only did they change into uniform armor, but their equipment was also enchanted with Hades, and even the swords in the hands of their summons exuded a dark green Netherworld aura.

Facing the "Dragon Traveling the World" that was approaching step by step and the murderous intent that was coming towards them, the burly Kao war beasts were breathing heavily, and their scarlet eyes were filled with rare fear.

However, it didn't take long for the fear in the hearts of these beasts to turn into a desire for blood and killing. Under the guidance of the "Will of Kalmandus", they counterattacked the players who surrounded them.

"Ow—!"

Looking at the dying beasts, Long Xing Wanli slowly exhaled the foul air in his heart, raised the harpoon in his hand, and urged the [No. 1 Pig in the Country] under him to move forward.

"Ready to fight!"

What responded to him was a uniform war cry -

"kill!!!"

Everyone held their breath.

Especially the dragon travels thousands of miles.

He killed monsters day and night and was only two levels away from reaching level 50, but in the end he was still surpassed by that bastard Yiye Zhiqiu!
It’s totally unreasonable!
The flesh and blood collided with the steel torrent. In front of the shield wall of the skeleton sword and shield man, the teeth of the Kao war beast were like toys.

At Long Xing Qianli's command, the sword in his hand thrust out first, and then the spears quickly pierced through the gaps in the shield wall, piercing through the Kao war beasts that rushed to the front of the formation one after another!

More than half of the Kao war beasts that rushed to the front of the formation were killed or injured in an instant!
And their nightmare is not over yet——

At the moment when the spear pierced their formation, a rain of arrows like locusts fell on their heads, followed by overwhelming fireballs, ice cones and wind blades!
Faced with an enemy formation on the verge of collapse, [Dragon Travels Thousands of Miles], a spider, took the lead and killed it, cooperating with [The No. 1 Pig in the Country]'s body skills, and stabbed left and right with the harpoon in his hand.

The whole battle was a one-sided massacre!

The few remaining khal war beasts fell down one after another with painful wails.

"… Let's go back to the city after clearing this wave."

Looking down at the battlefield littered with corpses, [Long Xing Wanli] gave orders while raising the harpoon in his hand to finish off a knight - he stabbed a khal beast that was being stepped on by a national server guy's forelimbs.

The voice of the national server brother sounded at the same time.

"Boss is awesome!!!"

Long Xing Wanli smiled embarrassedly and said with a dry cough.

"Low-key."

Long Xing Qianli, holding a sword and shield, couldn't help but roll her eyes, but as a skeleton she had no eyeballs, so she could only use the middle finger behind the shield.

This guy is really good at licking!

The group cooperated quickly, with almost no unnecessary movements, cleaning the battlefield while neatly counting the results of the battle.

However, just when they thought the battle was over, an unusual smell suddenly drifted from the sand dunes not far away.

"There's a situation! Be alert!"

Long Xing Wanli was the first to notice the situation. Without any hesitation, he immediately shouted to his teammates who were collecting the spoils.

Almost at the same time as he finished speaking, accompanied by the low sound of footsteps on gravel, a group of unfamiliar figures appeared behind the sand dunes.

They were a group of burly hunters.

They were about three meters tall, with well-proportioned muscles, wearing simple but sturdy animal skin armor, and their ears were more slender than those of elves.

They held heavy bone spears in their hands, and their eyes were fierce and sharp, just like hunters eyeing their prey!
Without any verbal communication or warning -

As soon as the group of hunters appeared, they launched a charge!
"Enemy attack——!"

Long Xing Baili took the lead in launching an attack. The bowstring in his hand was taut like an angry snake, and a series of arrows shot forward like raindrops!

however--

Those hunters seemed to have seen the trajectory of his arrows, and with just a few nimble moves to the side they dodged the fatal blow infused with supernatural power!
Not only that, their movements were even faster than those of wild beasts. In a flash, they arrived in front of the Longxing Tianxia crowd who had not yet assembled.

"These are not ordinary khals - they are clan hunters!" Long Xing Qianli recognized their identity at a glance and exclaimed.

Active in the nameless wasteland are not only the mindless Kao people and Kao war beasts, but also some clans that have developed intelligence and formed settlements.

They will not simply be driven by Kalmandes, but have their own independent will, and will not follow the wave of the Chaos to attack the stronghold of the cemetery.

But even so, it doesn't mean that they will be very friendly to players who accidentally enter the hunting area.

Regardless of whether the creatures on this planet are intelligent or not, their foundation is made of blood.

"Whatever they are! Fuck them!"

Long Xing Wanli roared angrily, picked up the harpoon, and drove the national server guy under his crotch to rush forward and fight with the first hunter who arrived!
The national server brother's spider legs arrived before the harpoon, and kicked hard at the clan hunter who was hit first.

However, the latter dodged the attack that was aimed directly at his crotch with just a side jump, and then the bone spear pierced into the spider's belly with a whistling sound.

Ding!
Sparks flew from the plastron of the crypt spider. Although there was no injury to the skin, the spider was forced to retreat half a step.

Long Xing Wanli slammed the harpoon in his hand, forcing back the clan hunter who was trying to get close.

The latter jumped back to create some distance, licking his lips, but soon lowered his body again and rushed forward!
The two sides fought back and forth for more than ten rounds, but neither could defeat the other.

Just when Long Xing Wanli was enjoying the fun, he turned around and found that half of his brothers had already finished their battle.

Damn it? !
"Brother! These guys are not easy to deal with! Take it easy!" Long Xing Baili shouted in the direction of his brother Wanli while shooting arrows.

These clan hunters are not easy to deal with!

Kaomon is superior in terms of strength, speed and defense, and has excellent coordination, and does not act like a chaotic wild beast at all!
What's even more troublesome is that the faint fluctuations of magic power on each hunter indicate that they are at least at the fine steel level!
Some of the stronger ones are even approaching the silver level!

And the number——

They don't seem to be much inferior to us!

"Vice President, right!"

Long Xing Qianli, who was fighting on the front line, suddenly shouted,
Sure enough, a small group of hunters were bypassing the main battlefield and launching an outflanking attack from the right wing!
"Want to surround us? Dream on!"

Long Xing Wanli sneered and knocked away the unknown soldier who was fighting with him with a fork. Then he led his team to change the formation and took a dozen melee masters to intercept the team that tried to outflank them from the rear.

In a flash, the two forces collided violently in the wasteland!
At the moment of close combat, some players were severely injured by bone spears, and their bone durability dropped rapidly. Although some clan hunters were chopped to the ground by the players, it still did not change the fact that they still had the upper hand.

A trace of solemnity appeared in Long Xingwanli's eyes.

The war situation began to gradually tilt towards Chaos. Even the elite members of a large guild like Long Xing Tian Xia, who had been through many battles, felt a long-lost sense of crisis.

"Everyone listen up - shrink the formation and form a shield wall!"

While waving the harpoon to fight back, Long Xing Wanli shouted commands, trying to stabilize the situation.

At the same time, he was calculating rapidly in his mind.

"...We can't continue fighting! We must find a way out as soon as possible!"

Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have seen through his plan, and more and more hunters were approaching from all directions!

They did not rush to attack, but surrounded these players in the middle of the formation, just like the strategy these players used when hunting the Kao war beasts, weakening their strength through continuous harassment, forcing the besieged to reveal their flaws, and then seizing the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack!

The wind howled like ghosts in the wilderness, and the bloody dusk entangled the shadows of both sides.

At this critical moment, a low death whisper suddenly came along with the noisy wind and sand, covering the battlefield at an incredible speed.

"Wake up——"

"My servants!"

The sound was like the whisper of death, instantly cooling the scorching battlefield by more than ten degrees.

The corpses of Kao's war beasts that were originally scattered on the battlefield began to tremble immediately after hearing the call, and then stood up shakily with a dull roar.

"Uh--"

They roared, with green soul fire burning in their eyes, and with a cold but firm will, they launched a fierce attack on the clan hunters!
Unexpectedly, the dead bodies would suddenly resurrect on a large scale, and the clan hunters who were fighting with the players were caught off guard.

In contrast,

The people of Longxing Tianxia were cheered up and their confidence in victory was rekindled.

"It's the Demon King!!!"

"Great! We are saved!!"

"Ouch!"

At this moment, the originally precarious situation was completely reversed!
Hearing the players' shouts of surprise, Luo Yan smiled faintly, changed the trajectory of the magic wand in his hand, and pointed it far into the sky.

"Rotten bones become spears, filthy blood becomes tides—"

"Hear my call, and transform into thousands of spears that fall from the sky!"

A dark green lightning seemed to tear the space apart, and dozens of pitch-black spears emerged from the dark and deep cracks!
They were like the hook in the hands of the god of death, locking onto beating hearts and giving the clan hunters no chance to resist. They descended from the sky like a torrential rain!

"Pfft——!"

The sound of sharp swords piercing flesh and blood rang out on the battlefield. The pitch-black spear heads, carrying a strong breath of death, instantly pierced through the tall chests.

The hunters fell to the ground one after another without even a scream. The smell of corruption spread through the wounds on their chests and spread over their bodies, dyeing their scarlet pupils into a pale green like ink, and then waking them up as sleepless people whose hearts had stopped beating!

Seeing that half of his people were killed in an instant, the clan leader's eyes suddenly turned blood red. He grabbed the spears stained with the blood of his people, tucked the two spears under his armpits, and turned into a meteor and rushed towards Luo Yan.

His facial muscles were twisted and his chest was filled with the desire to kill. He no longer cared about the outcome of the fight.

There was only one thought left in his mind -

That is to pierce that hideous head!
"Die!"

A shrill roar came out of his mouth. It was the language of his clan, and no one could understand it except him and his people.

A distance of hundreds of meters passed in a flash!
However, just as he was about to get within twenty steps of Luo Yan, a flash of cold silver light quietly cut through the noisy wind.

The clan leader's pupils suddenly contracted. Before he could see clearly what was happening, he felt a sharp pain in his calf. Then he suddenly lost consciousness in his leg. His three-meter-long body fell to the ground like a deflated balloon, digging a one-meter-wide pit in the dry sand!
The cloak lifted by the wind revealed a pair of lively cat ears.

Sarah, who had appeared behind him at some point, was calm and indifferent. She turned the dagger in her hand over and put it back into the scabbard at her waist. Then she hooked her index finger around the windproof scarf wrapped around her collar to cover her mouth and nose that were soaked in the wind and sand.

Just a moment ago, her two daggers cut through the calf tendons of the "elite monster" without any unnecessary movement.

The dark green blood gushed out only at this time. The clan leader's facial muscles were twisted even more due to pain. His eyes were fixed on the demon king who was only twenty steps away, and a fishy white mist was spewing from his mouth and nose.

Pity--

Just a little bit closer!
This guy seemed unaware of the rude look in his eyes. Sarah, who was standing behind him, had golden fire flashing in her eyes.

That was a mark that had been strengthened by both Dragon Language Magic and Air Magic.

She has double BUFF cast by Luo Yan and Tafu!

"Who allowed you to look up——"

'insect.'

She said this with a cold look in her eyes.

Without waiting for Sarah to make a move, Luo Yan waved his staff lightly, like conducting the variations of a symphony, marking the rest note for the twisted life.

Several bone spears pierced out from the ground, piercing the clan leader who was not yet completely cold in the sand, and raised him up like a flagpole.

The clan leader finally lost his breath, his head drooped weakly, and became a cold wreckage in the desolate wilderness.

There was no resentment on that face.

Fighting is their destiny.

Death at the hands of a strong man is an inevitable outcome.

As the "final BOSS" fell, the remaining clan hunters lost their fighting skills and were killed by players in groups of three or five while fighting on their own.

Luo Yan did not take away all the heads. In consideration of his little players' diligence in pulling monsters, he also left a sip of soup for them.

Until the end of the battle, the black cloak was not stained with a drop of dirty blood, but only with a little sand and dust.

As expected of His Majesty the Demon King—

Even the movements of killing monsters are so graceful.

Long Xingbaili's pupils were burning with admiration, and the divine bow in his hand worth tens of millions of ghost money suddenly became less attractive. For a moment, he even had the idea of ​​changing his job to a magician.

Long Xing Qianli stared at Sarah blankly, and suddenly felt that being a swordsman wasn't that fun, and the assassin profession seemed pretty cool...

In just a few minutes, the battle was completely cleared.

The khal beasts and clan hunters who had been resurrected from the dead stood around with their heads bowed, waiting for their demon king to give orders.

The noisy wind rolled up the broken clouds, surging above the battlefield, as if the figure standing among the corpses was a god on the earth.

As Long Xing Wanli gazed at that figure's back, his heart was filled with emotions and he was burning with the ambition to replace him.

That’s what a man should do—of course.

He just wanted to think about it.

No normal person would go against the rules of the game, and he has already invested a huge amount of money and time in this game.

Luo Yan gently retracted his wand, his eyes calmly swept across the attribute panel in front of him without saying much.

[Experience +1333]

Although the experience of a single clan hunter is not as good as the Chaos Giant killed previously, they are better in quantity and of decent quality.

but--

Why are those dead souls following me?

If it were the continent of Oss, the dead souls would basically be taken away by Saint Sith after a while, unless they died in the maze or looked too good to be wanted.

As if she had noticed Luo Yan's surprise, Youyou quietly appeared beside him and said excitedly.

"Master Demon King! This is a good thing! They are murderous by nature and think that you are the most powerful creature they have ever seen. Moreover, you have the mark of the gods on your body. They instinctively follow you and are eager to be reborn by your side... It's like looking for a big brother in a ranked team!"

After a pause, she added.

"There are several silver-level souls in there! The clan leader is even gold-level! It's just that his strength in his previous life didn't keep up with the souls... otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for you to deal with him."

Gold level?
Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and felt a little moved.

pity--

The gods only have the ability to grant soul levels, and they do not have the ability to take back the poured water, otherwise it would be great to refine them.

In short, just use it as it is.

Anyway, these souls were given by the Flame of Destruction Kalmandes, and unless one further enhances their abilities, they do not occupy one's share of the power of faith.

In a sense, this is also a plunder of the vested interests in the hands of Kalmandes.

Luo Yan waved the magic wand in his hand and pieced together several powerful skeletons from the corpses on the ground as bodies to be given to those souls.

They will be reincarnated as corpse ghosts——

And in future reincarnations, he will be reborn as a believer in the kingdom ruled by the cemetery.

Luo Yan retracted his wand and turned his gaze to Sarah.

"Sarah, get ready to move."

"Yes."

Sarah obeyed the order respectfully and walked towards him with light steps.

Perhaps because she realized it was safe, Tafu, who was hiding under Luo Yan's cloak, finally poked her little head out.

Looking at Sarah walking towards her, her eyes suddenly lit up and her small chicken-breasted breasts suddenly stood up like a goose that had won a battle.

"Ha ha ha ~ I am still pretty awesome!"

The voice still had a bit of childishness.

It would be unfair to say that she made no contribution to this battle. At least when Luo Yan added twelve buffs to Sarah, she also contributed a few dragon language spells.

Mainly for the sake of experience.

As for how much effect those dragon language buffs actually had, or if they just made up the increased ability values, only God knows.

Luo Yan didn't want to argue with her, he just looked at her with interest and said casually.

"…You never used magic in your previous life?"

He discovered it only recently.

This guy has no idea that his dragon language has been endowed with the power to make his words come true... although how much depends on one's own strength.

Tafu shook her head like a rattle, and her drooping wings trembled along with it.

"No... I don't know why. All my disciples can use it, but I can't! It's really strange. Is it because I came here in a spaceship?"

Luo Yan thought about it and said ambiguously.

"Maybe."

I heard that the Zeta Empire has some "artificial eggs"?

Or "lizards lay eggs."

Maybe her previous life was the so-called "first reincarnation"?
Since she couldn't comprehend what kind of existence the soul was, in the end she didn't figure out how to actively upgrade her soul. The ones who were passively upgraded were either dragons or dragon hunters, and Chunchun's left hand and right hand were fighting.

As for this life, although it was a bit miserable to be reincarnated as a meat lizard, meeting myself was a blessing in disguise, and my soul level was finally upgraded.

Then she was finally able to use magic.

congratulations……

Luo Yan was just about to congratulate her when he saw Tafu's expression suddenly change. Her pink little face turned purple, and she covered her stomach with her paws while clamping her legs together.

"%￥##￥!"

She cursed in words that Luo Yan couldn't understand, probably some abstract language about star-level civilization.

Luo Yan was about to ask her what she said, but she suddenly shivered and said, "It's coming out." Then the whole dragon ran to the back of the sand dune like a turkey with its butt on fire.

WTF? !
Luo Yan frowned.

Considering that this was a chaotic place with countless threats hidden in the sky and underground, he gave Sarah a look, motioning her to go over and see what was going on.

Sarah nodded slightly and quickly followed.

However, not long after, she ran out from behind the sand dune with a red face and small steps, holding a still warm -

quail eggs?
Looking at the egg in her hand, Luo Yan was stunned.

He had never heard that a dragon could lay such small eggs?!

Maybe it's been in the refrigerator for too long...

"Could it be because of those potions..." Sarah said in a low voice guiltily, but was interrupted by Luo Yan without hesitation.

"Sarah, the cause of this problem requires comprehensive analysis. I admit that I gave him some muscle-building and bone-strengthening potions, but those were the results of Professor Edoniya's research, and she assured me that there were no side effects—"

"Wait?! Magic potion?! What magic potion! Luo Yan! Explain it to me clearly! What kind of indigenous folk remedy did you secretly feed me?!" Somehow, these words were heard by Tafu. She rushed out murderously, opening her small mouth as big as a sparrow, as if she wanted to swallow Luo Yan alive.

Luo Yan had no doubt about her determination, because she was not strong enough and soon suffered the backlash of the master-servant contract. She rolled her eyes and screamed "Ooooh!"

Until she reaches Gold level, it is best not to even think about eating her master.

Luo Yan quickly reached out and took the initiative to relieve her pain. After all, he did feel a little guilty, although he refused to admit that it was all his fault.

"Those potions were for your own good—"

"What the hell are you doing for me? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Tafu stared at him with gritted teeth, tears almost falling out.

The reason why she was willing to sign the contract was because she thought that she wouldn't grow up in a hundred years anyway, so she might as well wait for this guy to die.

But she didn't expect this guy to be so cruel and actually feed her the indigenous folk remedy!
She had never heard of a "meat lizard" laying eggs when it was less than two months old!
No wonder I’ve been gaining a lot of weight recently!
In fact, Tafu felt a little guilty. After all, she had no idea whether the lizard eggs that had been frozen for a thousand years would mutate.

But that's not important!
Of course, the first thing she did when something went wrong was to pass the buck. How could she possibly admit her own problems? If she shot herself in the foot again, that would be too aggrieved!

Luo Yan was silent for a while, wondering why he was talking so much nonsense to a mount, and decided to make a specious argument -

You led the Lizardmen to fight all over the country, in and out, didn't you say it was for their own good? Why can't you bear to play when it happens to you?

What's more, I'm really doing this for your own good!

As for laying eggs...

Anyway, these “water eggs” can’t hatch little dragons, and it doesn’t look painful, so just treat it as taking a shit.

Yusi and Missy would order one every now and then and fry it and eat it themselves, but they didn't seem to make a fuss about anything.

He was about to say this when Youyou whispered in his ear.

"Master Demon King, maybe it's because of the upgrade... Isn't there a saying in the library of the Demon King Academy? The growth of dragons is not necessarily linked to time, but also to the growth of extraordinary power, and some dragons with pure bloodlines are even more different from ordinary dragon species."

Luo Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and the little sense of guilt he had disappeared in an instant.

"That's the one!"

"??? That what?!" Gutaf stared at him aggressively with his eyes as big as quail eggs, and asked without knowing what was going on.

"It's because of the upgrade."

Luo Yan said seriously.

"You have become stronger. You are no longer an ordinary dragon. Naturally, common sense cannot explain this... But it doesn't matter. I will make up for the little nutrition you lost."

Tafu looked at him in amazement. Her first reaction was that she didn't expect him to be so shameless. Her second reaction was that there seemed to be some truth in it!

In her impression, there seemed to be a few "meat lizards" that, even without being fed medicine, still grew faster than ordinary meat lizards after awakening their extraordinary powers.

A drop of cold sweat slid down Taff's scales.

Great!
You shouldn't try to gain experience just for this little bit of supernatural power!
"Wait - let's put the egg-laying thing aside, what's going on with the potion thing?!"

Luo Yan frowned.

"Potion? What potion?"

Looking at the demon king pretending to be stupid, Tafu flew into a rage and swore at him in a bunch of abstract words. When she found that the other party couldn't understand her, she spoke in a civilized manner.

"??? Don't try to lie to me, I clearly heard——"

Luo Yan looked at Sarah.

"Sarah, did you say anything?"

Sarah was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook her head as she obeyed Luo Yan's orders.

"I... don't know what you are talking about, Lord Demon. What I just said was... do you need blue medicine? I still have some here."

Luo Yan stretched out his hand.

"Give me one."

"Okay." Sarah quickly unbuckled her belt, buried her head to hide her blushing face, and hurriedly took out a tube of blue medicine and handed it to Luo Yan.

He was a little thirsty, so Luo Yan drank it directly as if it were water.

"I'm going to eat you!!!" Looking at the two hairless monkeys who were acting together to deceive her, Tafu yelled and screamed in anger, but she didn't know what to do. Finally, she gave up and sat on the ground and rolled around.

Sarah felt more and more embarrassed. After getting Luo Yan's permission, she walked over, picked her up from the ground, and patted the back of her head gently to comfort her, like coaxing a child.

"...Okay, stop messing around. How about I make you cumin barbecue tonight?"

Tafu, who was lying in her arms, was silent for a while, and after a long time, she let out a buzzing sound.

“…add more cumin.”

She had no grudge against Sarah, and knew that she was also forced to follow orders. Moreover, she had been fed by her for so long that she had developed some feelings for her.

As for the other hairless monkey…

hum.

I'll settle this with him later!
Seeing that the child finally stopped crying, Sarah smiled, looked at Luo Yan happily, then looked at Tafu and nodded vigorously.

"Yeah! I'll do it for you!"

Purposely ignoring Tafu's fixed gaze on him, Luo Yan opened his attribute panel and took a look.

After these days of intensive monster hunting, I am only 4 levels away from platinum level.

However, due to the limited strength of the Chaos Minions that players can attract, his upgrade speed has visibly slowed down as his level increases.

In a few days, General Hamilton's fleet should be near Deadwood Harbor.

Luo Yan pondered silently in his heart.

Gotta speed up the process.
