Chapter 185 The Demonic Monster Army
The sound of crunching violated Darren's ears. It was like a hundred bricks crumbling to dust.
The shadow stared at Darren with evil in its eyes. It wore a ghastly smile while chewing the man's
fingers.
Darren was shocked at the horrifying scene. This creature's power was so formidable that it had easily
crushed the overmatch at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm. Looking at its unearthly and
strangely patterned face, Darren was sure that it was a demonic monster. Judging by its human-like
figure, he thought it was at least at the sixth level.
A level six demonic monster could rival a human cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm.
"Hey, you little ones, what species are you?" the demonic monster asked in human language, much to
their surprise.
At present, both Darren and Bruce were in the transformation state. Bruce became a giant ape and
Darren a creature with a black carapace and sharp spines on the back.
They looked at each other. 'He must have mistaken us as demonic monsters!' Darren was grateful that
it didn't see the truth. If it knew they were human, they would be in big trouble.
The demonic monster was too strong for them. If challenged, their chance to escape was very slim.
Just like the bandit it had eaten just now, they wouldn't end well, either.
Darren responded to the demonic monster carefully, "My Lord, he is the seed of the ape and I am the
seed of the ox." Darren made up his answer on the spot because his appearance may look something
like the five level demonic monster he killed before. He thought that it would be believable.
He tried to hide the fact that he was still uneasy, afraid of blowing their cover.
"What? Then why do you speak in human language?" the demonic monster spoke with doubt in its
voice. It lifted its eyebrows, the color of the patterns on its face changing constantly.
'Crap!' Darren knew he had made a mistake. Darren's skin crawled with the weight of the predicament.
It was a fact that a common demonic monster couldn't exist in a human-like figure or talk in human
language. His utterance had very likely exposed them.
"My Lord, I was captured by humans once when I was young, and I learned their language at that
time." In a split second, he reacted fast and seemed to have set the story straight.
The demonic monster looked at him in confusion. "Humph! I presume what you said is true. However, I
can clearly see him being the seed of the ape, but how could you be the seed of the ox? No sharp
black spines appear on their backs!"
'Has it seen through us?' Darren couldn't calm his nerves. While he kept the conversation going, he
started to warm up the demon core and the sword core in his belly to prepare for the desperate fight,
should it come to that. Even so, the chance of living was little.
"The oxen are always mean. They fuck every demonic monster they meet. I guess you are the bastard
child of an Iron Back Dragon and an ox. Am I right?" the demonic monster murmured to itself, clicking Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
its tongue in thought while looking down at Darren.
Darren didn't care about its cruel words. Instead, it came as a relief to him. As long as they were safe,
nothing else mattered. Still, he had to continue with the charade.
He glared at the demonic monster with rage to keep up the act. "My Lord! My father is of noble
descent. You shouldn't say such terrible things about him!"
The demonic monster smirked. It appeared that Darren's fake reaction had proved its assumption to be
correct.
"Tsk, stay away from me! You really know how to get on my nerves!" the demonic monster scolded with
great contempt. It shook its head.
After hearing that, Darren thought that was as good a time as any to leave, and he motioned to Bruce
to follow.
Bruce understood the hint, so he dragged his legs to follow Darren without hesitation.
"Wait!" the demonic monster shouted after them.
"What is it?" Darren stopped and turned around to face the demonic monster, trying his best to remain
calm.
"Both of you come with me," the demonic monster commanded as it pulled them back with a strong
force of suction. "Goddamn humans are invading our territory again. Since we are still short of hands,
I'd like you to join me in slaughtering them all, ha-ha!" A twisted smile appeared on its face as it said
this.
"My Lord, we are just nobodies. I am afraid we are not able to help you," Darren said meekly while
standing beside the demonic monster, keeping his head down.
"Cut the chatter! No more words, or you will die!" Its eyes flashed with an evil stare to reinforce its
threat. It opened its mouth, a scarlet forked tongue darting out.
"So it is a snake-type demonic monster. No wonder it smells so bad," Darren murmured under his
breath, being careful not to let it hear him.
"Okay, we will come with you, My Lord." Darren had to give in for the sake of their safety. He kept his
face down so the demonic monster wouldn't notice his wrath-filled eyes. Now that it refused to let them
leave peacefully, he would have to give it the critical strike.
Darren had decided to bide his time to kill the demonic monster!
...
Led by the demonic monster, Darren and Bruce arrived at a dark canyon. There was no plant-life, and
hardly any light.
Tens of thousands of demonic monsters were there, all belonging to different species. Most were at the
first level or the second level, with only a few of them being at the fourth level or the fifth level. It was
like a hive of beasts.
"As long as you work hard here, I promise you will enjoy your fair share of meat and blood." The
demonic monster arranged for them to join the crowd.
To put it bluntly, they were recruited to be nothing more than pawns.
In the face of the countless demonic monsters, rather than be afraid, Darren was excited! This was a
rare opportunity because he was planning to kill them to obtain the talents and the demonic monster
cores.
To achieve that goal, he must eliminate the demonic monsters at the sixth level and some strong ones
at the fourth level and the fifth level first. It was important to wipe out the threats as soon as possible.
"Alright, everyone, the slaughter is about to begin. Welcome our great king. He will lead us to wipe out
the awful humans. Let's drink their blood and eat their meat!" the level six demonic monster that they
had accompanied here shouted from the top of a boulder.
For an instant, more and more heinous power spread through the air. All the demonic monsters
trembled under the enormous pressure, and even the demonic monster at the sixth level went down on
one knee, waiting for something.
"This power is so incredible!" Darren said to himself, astounded by the energy he felt.
Following the tremendous aura came dozens of human-like figures. They landed on the boulder next to
the demonic monster that was kneeling there.
"My God! What awful power," Darren gasped. They were much more powerful than the level six
demonic monster. The leading demonic monster was even superior to the Holy Lords of the Holy
Lands.
"My people, fight with me!" the leading demonic monster roared. The tens of thousands of demonic
monsters were hyped up, roaring in response to their king.
Darren was suddenly struck with a feeling of helplessness. He knew his plan had fallen through. These
demonic monsters were in a league of their own, and there was no way he could take them on. The
only thing he could do was prevent their real identities from being discovered.
He listened closely to the leading demonic monster's instructions. They planned to meet at the Holy
Cave to slaughter the people gathering there.
He guessed the Holy Cave must be the Fire Cave.
It was impossible to escape now. Thus, Darren and Bruce could do nothing but mingle with the crowd
and act like they belonged there. They wouldn't risk running away until they found the right opportunity.
However, there was another thing Darren was worried about. The bloodline force inside Bruce wouldn't
last forever. At some point, Bruce would regain his human appearance once he couldn't hold the
transformation anymore. If that happened, their real identities would be discovered.
"Bruce, hang in there," Darren whispered to him.
Darren noticed Bruce's tall body begin to shiver, which was an indication that his bloodline force was
almost gone.
Bruce nodded to Darren, his sharp teeth biting his lips hard. He held on with all his strength.
A rumble arose as all the demonic monsters started to move at once.
At the command of the leading demonic monster, the mega-sized demonic monster army marched out
of the canyon toward the Fire Cave.
...
In the north of the demonic monster domain, many people gathered at the foot of a dark, barren
mountain. Some powerful cultivators were among them.
They were the strong human warriors from around the world. It seemed that they were guarding a cave
in the mountain against something forthcoming.
Suddenly, the earth shook as the dull roar of the coming threat drew near.
In the distance, a dark mass of bodies were coming toward the cave. The ground was covered with
shadows as the sun was obscured by countless giant figures flying overhead.
