Dream Travel

Chapter 356 Did you provoke this?

"A cave-dwelling demon, a demon somewhere between a lesser demon and a normal demon. This hell must have a lower world."

Luxembla explained the type of demon.

"Is hell that complicated?"

"It's not that complicated. Demons that die too often tend to fall to the lower levels, and if they fall further, they'll really die. Just think of it as the slums of the upper and lower parts of the city."

"But they seem more powerful than normal demons."

Bai Mu grabbed the Dream Eater Greatsword, stepped out of the car, and faced the charging cave demons. These cave demons moved with incredible speed, using all four limbs.

Their bodies also have spikes that normal demons don't have, making them far more threatening than normal demons when they directly collide with you.

"Impressive? Hahaha, they don't even have demonic flames, and their intelligence is low, like wild beasts. Their current prowess is only due to the influence of the polar night!"

Luxembra was full of disdain for these demons. If these cave-dwelling demons were really powerful, why would they need to be cave-dwelling demons?
Their only period of time is during the polar night in hell; the rest of the time, they are dung beetles scavenging for trash in the lower levels of hell...

Luxembra's descriptions of cave demons are far too derogatory, but that doesn't diminish the danger they posed during the polar night.

The Dream Eater Greatsword struck the cave demon's spikes, creating a burst of bright sparks, and the charging cave demon was sent flying.

A pale light flashed on the Dream Eater Greatsword, and the cave-dwelling demons that had surrounded it immediately began to kill each other.

Their fighting style was savage, a head-on collision, like sheep fighting, except that sheep have curved horns, so they were unharmed after a few collisions.

These cave-dwelling demons, covered in thorns, clashed together in a scene of extreme bloodshed and violence.

"See? That's the level of intelligence this thing has."

Lexenberg laughed disdainfully, but the ground began to shake, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

Without any hesitation, Bai Mu immediately got into the car, stepped on the gas, and started a hellish speed. Through the rearview mirror, he saw a huge, writhing shadow behind him.

Where the thing moved, the ground churned and cracked, and a scaly body could be vaguely seen, but because it was too dark, Bai Mu couldn't make out what it was.

"what is that?"

“I don’t know! There’s no such thing in the hell I used to live in!!” Luxembla shouted back.

Just as there are no hell dragons in this hell, he wouldn't find it strange if there were more creatures in this hell that his hell didn't have.

It's not the same hell, so what's wrong with a greater variety of species?
But the enormous behemoth that has appeared now is making people uneasy.

Judging from its specifications, that thing has a diameter of over 20 meters and a length of no less than 150 meters.

Was such a colossal creature always beneath their feet?

"You can drive... never mind."

"I can drive!!" Luxembla realized what White Curtain was trying to do and immediately shouted.

"You're not a succubus, this car can't fit you."

White Curtain flatly refused. As a standard demon, Luxemblazoned was nearly three meters tall. Although the SUV was large, it really couldn't fit the thing in the driver's seat.

"You're really that obsessed with succubi!?"

"I'm not after succubi, but a normal demon?"

"Damn it, isn't fighting fun? Let me use your gun!" Lexenberg changed his suggestion; he had been eyeing White Curtain's gun for a long time.

While demons enjoy the thrill of combat, shooting is also part of that thrill.

The white curtain allowed Lucy Ella to drive.

The catgirl who was summoned was a little confused. When she was last taken back, Hell was still in daylight. How come it has become pitch black now?

Moreover, the tremors on the ground made her realize that they were fleeing for their lives.

"What did you do to offend them?" Luciela asked Bai Mu without hesitation.

"What do you mean I've offended someone??"

Lucyella was surprised: "It's not your fault?"

"...This time it really wasn't my fault. I was just planning to deal with the cave-dwelling demons blocking my way, and then this huge guy appeared."

Bai Mu's lips twitched slightly. If he had known there was such a huge thing underground, he definitely wouldn't have stopped.

Luciela stared at the white curtain for a moment, her eyes beginning to turn golden: "Shall I cover the rear?"

Anyway, she won't really die. At least if her phantom body dies, she'll only be mentally weakened for a while, so it won't matter if she covers the rear.

"Do you have enough for it to eat?"

Bai Mu glanced at the rearview mirror, and Luciela frowned: "I can't see it, how did you see it?"

In her eyes, the surrounding environment was pitch black, without any light. She had become completely blind and had no idea what was chasing her from behind.

However, if her sister appears and they merge with her demonic energy, they should be able to fight regardless of the darkness.

"Just keep your fighting spirit high," White Curtain reminded Luciela.

This wasn't difficult for Luciela. Awakened beings are inherently killing creatures. After she partially released her demonic energy to maintain her fighting spirit, the darkness faded. Not only that, but her vision also gained a layer of blood-red hue, similar to what the white curtain had seen.

Stimulated by this layer of blood, Luciela felt her mind restless, wanting to unleash her urge to kill, or to have a different kind of battle with the man beside her.

In short, you can't be idle.

At the same time, she also saw the enormous creature chasing after her.

From the cracked ground, she saw thick, metallic scales—it was an enormous 'worm'.

The insect's body showed no signs of bulkiness; instead, it exuded the power of a tunnel boring machine. Although she had never seen a tunnel boring machine before, after getting a glimpse of its power, Luciela stopped talking about covering the rear.

Faced with such a behemoth, not a single thread could be broken.

"You really didn't provoke it?" Luciela asked White Curtain again.

"Why would I provoke this thing? Even if I did, I'd prepare a truckload of high explosives, and maybe even get my hands on that man-portable nuclear warhead!"

With the white curtain floored, he maintained a relatively safe distance from the pursuing demonic creatures.

But this distance isn't very safe either; when the demonic creature chases after you, it throws out some boulders.

The impact of those stones hitting the ground was extremely powerful. Wild Hell No. 2 was hit and was about to be turned into a pancake on the spot.

"You really intend to kill this guy?"

"It's been chasing me, and I'm not allowed to kill it?!"

At this moment, the communicator that Bai Mu had placed to the side had a signal.

"Buzz—Buzz—6642, hello, there's something unusual going on over there. What's wrong?"

"Is there a camp nearby?" Bai Mu immediately replied, "Nothing much. There's a huge thing here, over twenty meters in diameter and probably more than one hundred and fifty meters long, chasing me. Should we team up and take it down?"

"...6642, no, Mr. White Curtain, please lure it away. The camp is currently resting due to the Hellfire Blood Rain. You can lure it to the Demon Territory."

On the other end of the communicator, the person in charge spoke faster and faster, and when Bai Mu didn't answer immediately, he continued.

"If you have companions, you can try to go to the designated location. We will provide some explosives to assist you in the operation."

As for letting them participate in the war? What a joke! Based on the enormous size described by Bai Mu, once that thing reaches the camp, it only takes one wave of attack to destroy the camp.

Intercept? How can you intercept this thing?

Using the army's tanks and rocket launchers? Those things are for dealing with the demon territories, and besides, rocket launchers might not even be effective.

Although carbon-based life forms would find it difficult to completely resist these weapons, this is hell, and the demons are not entirely carbon-based life forms.

In addition, the rough data provided by Bai Mu indicated that the colossal creature, with a diameter of twenty meters and exceeding one hundred and fifty meters, had already deviated from the range of normal carbon-based organisms.

It's best to keep such dangerous things away from the camp.

The hellish blood rain and the arrival of the polar night had a significant impact on the camp. During the polar night, many of the camp's operations ceased, and they focused primarily on defense.

To prevent Bai Mu from doing anything dangerous in a moment of impulsiveness, he always used honorifics when addressing him.

"No need, please be careful." The white curtain turned around.

As the berserk demonic energy exerted a stronger influence on the mind, the white curtain's vision became clearer.

The layer of blood covering his vision wasn't a visual effect; the blood intensified when he looked in certain directions.

The crimson aura emanating from the pursuing demonic creatures was blindingly bright, even though Bai Mu hadn't noticed anything unusual at first.

The crimson hue only began to deepen after the appearance of this demonic creature.

Through this blood-red color, the White Curtain can find more victims of hell. If it accidentally finds another camp, it can communicate with them in advance via communicator.

As for the location of the Demon Territory, with his clearer vision, he was able to further distinguish its location and figure out its approximate position.

Inside the camp, the person in charge listened attentively to the radio, and only after confirming that the white curtain had indeed moved away, and that the epicenter detected by the scouts had also receded, did he finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

Before the polar night arrives, the white curtain is a favorite spot for solo travelers in various camps.

Once this guy makes contact with the camp, it means the local camp is poised for a bountiful harvest.

However, after the polar night began, the camp that came into contact with the white curtain for the first time encountered such a big surprise.

The person in charge here doesn't care how others feel; he himself was almost scared to death.

If that thing really comes over, this camp is really doomed.

Due to the aftermath of the Hellfire Blood Rain, nearby troops moved a dangerous weapon to the area.

The blood rain brought too many new demons, and the army also needed to clear out the demons in the vicinity. Since it was not feasible to guard such weapons, they left them here for the time being.

If that demonic creature charges in, not only will the camp be destroyed, but the weapons that have been moved here will also be affected. That's the most unacceptable thing.

As for the military's interception... interception my ass!
Fortunately, Bai Mu had a conscience and turned around and left without shifting the blame.
