Chapter 141: Dedicated to the Flame Giant Who Destroys Everything!

The whistling wind blew across the barren land, pulling rolling dust from the cracked soil.

Xi Nuo · Dragon, who was seriously injured, shook his dizzy bull head and propped up his crumbling body with a broken sword he picked up.

A few minutes ago—

Maybe longer ago.

He led his subordinates who had rested for half a day to launch another impact on the Demon King's army position, and fought with the Ogre troops that came out to meet the battle.

That battle was dark and bloody, with corpses everywhere...

He only remembered that he faced a monster wrapped in iron chains around its waist, carrying two rusty giant battle blades in its hands.

That guy was like a madman, rushing to the front of all the Ogres, waving the iron chains and blades in his hands, sweeping everything within the attack range regardless of friend or foe!

Xi Nuo saw with his own eyes that at least twenty... or even more Ogres were rolled into meat paste by the iron chains and blades in the monster's hands, turning into blood rain and scattering in the air.

However, the Ogres following behind that monster not only didn't fear, but instead had fanatical light on their faces, and their morale was high.

They didn't look like they were on the battlefield at all, but were holding some kind of ritual.

They seemed to have lost the sense of pain, fearless, and couldn't wait to rush to death!

That bloody and cruel scene deeply shocked Xi Nuo, and also shocked the Demon warriors in heavy armor behind him.

They felt that they were not fighting an army, but rolling in the mud with a group of madmen who had lost their minds.

Logically speaking, this kind of chaotic and mindless fighting style would only accelerate the death of those Ogre cannon fodder, but in reality, it was another matter.

When a Demon swordsman cut down an Ogre cannon fodder with the sword energy he released, the half body that fell to the ground hugged his leg, and then the round, smooth head opened its bloody mouth and bit towards his thigh.

Teeth of course couldn't bite through steel.

However, the scene of the "half-body man" holding his thigh with half his intestines hanging out was enough to make his san value drop wildly.

Especially when thousands of Ogres were all like this, what surrounded him was no longer one, but a large group!

The swords he wielded didn't seem to cut through flesh and blood, but through earthworms with hands and feet!

That was not just physical torture, but also mental torture.

The chaotic aura was like a contagious virus, not only devouring the sanity of the Ogres, but also biting the tense nerves of every soldier in the "Hellfire" heavy infantry regiment.

Under this mindless squeezing, their formation was quickly disrupted.

Plus there was a huge monster waving the iron chains and blades in its hands, wantonly whipping everything on the battlefield like a whip.

A centurion tried to stop that guy, drew his sword and rushed up, but after only a dozen rounds, he was chopped into meat paste by the whistling blade.

The bloody scene stimulated the nerves of all the Demon heavy infantry, and finally someone began to run away in the chaos of fighting on their own... and their collapse to some extent fueled the chaotic atrocities of that group of Ogres.

Xi Nuo tried to turn the tide and gather the collapsed troops again, but was hit by something on his helmeted head, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Until now, he didn't know what hit him, and couldn't even figure out if it was magic or the club in the Ogre's hand.

Looking back at the situation at that time, he couldn't help but feel a tremor.

That monster waving iron chains absolutely had more than Silver-level strength!

Maybe it had Gold, or even Platinum!

This insidious and cunning Demon King...

Actually cheated in a sacred duel! Sending reinforcements under the eyes of everyone!

Xi Nuo · Dragon was annoyed.

Although he also did similar things, at least he did it secretly!

Currently, he didn't know if the eldest daughter of the Kelin family succeeded, so he didn't dare to be happy too early.

But if she succeeded, he thought that Demon King might have already gone to see the Demon God, and he might win without a fight...

Having experienced two bloody battles that exceeded expectations, Xi Nuo's heart had already given birth to the intention to retreat.

Especially when he found that he almost lost his life, he finally began to recall that war is not child's play.

However, when Xi Nuo looked around for the way back, he found that there was only a dead silence in the wilderness, let alone familiar scenery, he couldn't even see a corpse.

Here...

Is it a labyrinth?

No—

There are no stone pillars connecting the ground and the dome here, although it is also barren, it is much brighter and wider than in the labyrinth.

However, relatively speaking, the barrenness here is even worse.

The dry and cracked earth seems to have taken off all the water, and the sand blown up by the wind seems to be red, faintly revealing the smell of rust, or like dried blood.

He looked up, trying to find the dome in the air, but the turbid wind and sand blocked his sight, making him squint his eyes involuntarily.

The dim light was like a circle, shrinking into a blurred point in the air, emitting light that was not much brighter than a kerosene lamp.

Is that the sun?

No...

Doesn't seem like it.

Xi Nuo had been to the surface, and always felt that the sun in his memory was much larger than the one he saw now, and the light was also much more dazzling.

At this time, a biting wind blew, and the chaotic airflow almost blew him to the ground, but fortunately he propped up his body with the broken sword in his hand and didn't flip over.

However, it was also thanks to this sudden gust of wind that the rolling sand and dust covering his head were blown away a little.

Xi Nuo looked up again and looked at the sky, but was stunned on the spot for a moment, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

As he expected, this is not a labyrinth, but it is not the world he is familiar with either.

Right next to that sun emitting dim yellow light, a huge disk extended from the horizon to the sky, swallowing one-third of the sky!

"What is that... thing?"

Xi Nuo · Dragon's pupils floated with a trace of fear, and he couldn't help but take a step back, the broken sword in his hand trembling slightly.

Megalophobia!

That is the instinct of most creatures, even Demons are no exception!

When facing a huge and magnificent unknown structure, the instinct engraved in his DNA reminded him to run, but he didn't know where to run.

In front of that magnificent giant object that even the sun dimmed, everything around him seemed so small, whether it was him or the earth under his feet.

At this time, footsteps came from behind him.

Xi Nuo turned his head and looked, only to see a creature that was neither human nor human stepping with heavy steps, walking towards his direction.

That guy was more than two meters tall, and his burly body was not inferior to him, but the bloated muscles couldn't see any beauty of lines, only rudeness and barbarism.

That ugly face was even more so, comparable to the Ogre's face, and even worse, like the dry and cracked earth under his feet.

Xi Nuo didn't dare to be careless, staring nervously at the figure walking closer and closer, and gripped the half broken sword in his hand.

Looking at Xi Nuo who was in a fighting stance, the warrior with his upper body bare just sneered, and then threw an axe inlaid with diamonds in front of him.

Looking at the axe on the ground, Xi Nuo was slightly surprised.

That was his axe!

"Ka! Ao!"

A low roar came from that person's throat, but Xi Nuo · Dragon couldn't understand what he was saying.

Maybe that was his name.

Or, theirs.

That person opened his mouth again, making a hoarse voice that was completely different.

And this time it was a language Xi Nuo could understand!

"He dies... you live."

"Who?" Xi Nuo looked at him vigilantly, and while throwing away the broken sword, he picked up his battle axe.

Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Xi Nuo, who re-gripped the familiar guy, finally found a trace of security.

However, looking at Xi Nuo who picked up the battle axe, the monster standing in front of him gave a light laugh, and a crack of upturn squeezed out on his ugly face.

That person pulled out the long spear on his back and drew a few strokes on the dry earth, roughly drawing a monster carrying two knives.

Xi Nuo's pupils shrank slightly.

Although this sketch was very abstract, he recognized this guy!

"Are you guys in the same gang?"

Xi Nuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued in a low voice.

"Where is your Demon King? I want to see him!"

That person didn't intend to answer him at all, just continued to say in that dry and hoarse voice.

"Those who survive are chosen by Him."

"Those who die become sacrifices!"

"Him? Sacrifice? Wait, what do you mean?" Xi Nuo was completely confused, looking at the person in front of him with a stunned expression.

"Ka Er Man De Si!" That person inserted the spear back on his back, and at the same time let out a low roar, his eyes pious, "The Flame Giant who destroys everything! The main god we serve!"

Ka Er Man De Si!

Xi Nuo vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but couldn't remember where he heard it.

That didn't seem to be common knowledge.

However, when he heard the sentence "The Flame Giant who destroys everything", the pair of copper bell-like eyes floated with a trace of realization... although that trace of realization was quickly replaced by shock and panic.

"Wait... what do you want to do?" Xi Nuo roared angrily, "I only serve the Demon God Ba Ye Li! I don't care about being chosen by your Ka what! Want to distort my faith? I think you guys are not awake!"

He was afraid.

Even forgot to rebuke their blasphemy.

That person sneered, looking at him with mocking eyes, as if looking at prey falling into a trap struggling to die.

"That's not up to you."

"Don't want to be chosen."

"Then go die."

Leaving this sentence, the guy exuding a dangerous aura turned and disappeared into the rolling dust, as if he had never been here.

And almost at the same time, a chill deep into the bone marrow climbed into Xi Nuo's heart.

That feeling was as if he was being stared at by death.

The dog beast hiding in the dark was grinning at him, grinding its teeth at him.

Xi Nuo's chest kept rising and falling, looking around at the dead silent wilderness, the trembling pupils were both afraid of the hunter hiding somewhere, and hating the panic in his heart.

He had enough.

He is not a coward who is afraid of death, at least he doesn't think he is... but at this moment he was scared like this by a guy who hadn't shown his face!

Finally, the suppressed anger turned into a roar, and with the muffled sound of the battle axe hitting his chest, it spread across the wilderness.

"If you want to fight, get out!"

"Let me smash your dog head."

That roar seemed to be the kindling that ignited the bonfire, the boiling fighting spirit soared into the sky, dispelling the dust covering the earth, and also ignited the dead planet under his feet. A bloodthirsty and ferocious figure walked out of the rolling dust.

Two iron chains dragged behind him, and the mottled stains all over his body could no longer distinguish whether it was rust or blood.

"Ka! Ao!" Ka Sen · Sui Lu let out a turbid roar, then accelerated his pace and rushed towards the Terror Demon who was holding the battle axe tightly.

The real duel finally began!

Or rather—

A ritual to please the Flame of Destruction!

The sound of metal clashing resounded in the wilderness.

Driven by the instinct to survive, Xi Nuo, who overcame his fear, erupted with amazing combat power, even faintly breaking through the boundaries of the soul!

Ka Sen · Sui Lu was the same.

Under the thirst for slaughter and blood, this Ogre chieftain also erupted with power beyond the limit, using his body and weapons to the extreme!

Under the gaze of the Flame of Destruction, both sides fought back and forth...

At the same time on the other side.

Not only Xi Nuo · Dragon was confused about the whole world, but also two skeletons, one high and one low, stood here blankly.

The tall skeleton id is Ye Zhiqiu, and the short undead mouse is Hu Wan. Both of them, one looking up at the sky, one looking at the surroundings in a daze, looking like they couldn't figure out the situation.

A few minutes ago, they were still searching for trophies on the battlefield, and as a result, the sky brightened while walking?

"Holy crap..."

"Where the hell did you take me?"

The two stared at each other for a while, and finally it was Ye who broke the silence first, coughing lightly.

"First exclude that this is a labyrinth..."

"Nonsense."

Thinking he could say something useful, Hu Wan, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, couldn't help but roll his eyes in reality.

Being complained about by his good brother, Ye Zhiqiu also felt a bit embarrassed, his index finger touching the bridge of his nose.

"Sorry... I also can't figure out the situation now, let me sort it out. Then the floor suddenly collapsed?"

Hu Wan shook his head and said.

"It's not that the floor collapsed, what I saw was a crack appearing on the ground... it doesn't seem like a crack, it's like a door."

This feeling is like a picture drawn on the ground, he took a step forward, walked directly through the picture, and walked into that picture.

However, strangely, behind him was a barren land, and he couldn't see any so-called door or similar things at all.

"... Well, simply put, it's something similar to a teleportation portal, now what's uncertain is whether this teleportation portal is one-way or two-way."

While saying this, Ye Zhiqiu looked up at the sky.

"The sun is much smaller than the surface... that huge outline, is it a gas giant?"

"Gas giant?" Hu Wan paused, "What is that."

"Similar to Jupiter, Saturn, the main component is gas, you can check it online, it's clearer than what I say..." Ye Zhiqiu stared at the magnificent outline in the sky for a long time, and it took a long time to squeeze a sentence out of his throat, "I even suspect now, are we still on the original planet?"

Hu Wan looked at him.

"Is there any problem?"

Ye Zhiqiu paused.

"Don't you feel very surprised? It's like we were on Earth a second ago, and we are already on Jupiter VI the next second."

Hu Wan couldn't help but complain.

"It's just a texture... do you think the game company would design a planet separately for a dungeon or level?"

From a cost perspective, it's impossible!

"..."

Because this sentence made too much sense, Ye Zhiqiu didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Perhaps it was because the game was too real.

He always couldn't help but consider problems from a real perspective, forgetting that he was sitting in an e-sports chair wearing a VR headset.

"I want to know what we should do now?" Hu Wan looked around, unable to see too far because of his height.

Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a moment and said.

"Look around... it shouldn't be just us who were sent here, maybe there are others."

Just as he was talking, a movement suddenly came from not far away, only to see a skinny jackal appear around the two at some point.

It was as if it had been blown by the wind, appearing without a trace of sign, as if it stood there in the blink of an eye.

Those turbid pupils were full of bloodthirst and greed, and a hissing sound came from the gap between its teeth, as if it had seen some delicious food.

The two looked at each other, and saw a trace of disbelief on each other's faces.

Rare!

When in the labyrinth, no living creature was interested in their skeleton frames, and when they arrived here, someone was drooling at them?

However, now is not the time to be curious about this!

Looking at the restless beast, Ye Zhiqiu raised his right hand first, and crimson flames condensed between his withered finger joints.

"Explosive Flame!"

A fireball like a solid condensed into shape, and then shot towards the jackal that was baring its teeth and claws like an arrow off the string!

Seeing the hot flame attacking it, the jackal dodged to the side and quickly rushed towards the two standing on the wilderness.

Seeing that the blow failed, Ye Zhiqiu didn't pause at all, then shot another fireball to block the jackal's movement trajectory, and at the same time recited other spells.

Hu Wan, who cooperated with him tacitly, had already pulled out the enchanted dagger, took a step forward, and the dagger in his hand stabbed fiercely towards the jackal's neck.

A cold light flashed, cutting off a few hairs at the root of the jackal's neck, but didn't break its flesh.

At the same time, the jackal that landed on its forelimbs twisted its body without hesitation, and bit back at the undead mouse that attacked it.

Fortunately, Hu Wan's reaction was fast enough and his agility was high enough, and he took a step back to avoid its bite, otherwise the previous blow would have been enough to send him away.

"Holy crap? This guy has something!" Hu Wan, who retreated two steps in a row and forced the jackal back with a dagger, exclaimed.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled lightly.

"You just found out?"

Watching the fierce jackal's hind limbs accumulate strength, intending to pounce, Hu Wan hurriedly said.

"Stop talking nonsense, is your spell ready?"

Just as his voice fell, the fierce jackal had already pounced on him.

Seeing that sharp claw about to come into contact with him, three sharp ground thorns suddenly rose from the ground, sealing the jackal's movement trajectory like a trident!

The jackal with four limbs in the air had nowhere to dodge, and could only watch as it hit the sharp ground thorns!

"Woo—!"

Pierced through the fur of its chest by the ground thorns, the jackal let out a painful whine, struggling and rolling down to the side.

Not missing the opportunity, Hu Wan took a step forward, and the dagger with underworld text attached turned into a green light and flickered, cutting through the jackal's throat like cutting tofu.

The gushing blood splashed in the air.

Hu Wan shook the blood on the dagger, and was about to put it away, but found that the blood stains stuck to the blade dissipated like sand.

Is it this silky?

His expression was slightly stunned.

And it was also at this time that he found that it was not only the blood stuck to the dagger that dissipated into sand, but also the corpse that fell beside the ground thorns.

"What's the situation?"

"Don't know."

Ye Zhiqiu stared solemnly at the disappearing corpse, watching the red dots like sand flying away and merging into the rusty wind.

The dead corpse was gone, as if swallowed by some unknown existence, leaving only a scarlet crystal in place.

Hu Wan reached out and picked it up, held it high, and observed it carefully through the sparse light, only to see that some liquid seemed to be flowing in the scarlet crystal surface.

That liquid was like blood, and like sand in an hourglass.

"Is this a magic crystal?"

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head.

"A bit like it, but it's impossible to determine exactly what it is."

Hu Wan said nervously.

"It's a bit evil here, I always have an ominous premonition... Let's not waste time, find the way back as soon as possible."

"Hmm." Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "I think so too."

Actually, going back is not difficult, dying once is enough.

However, both of them carried a lot of equipment, some picked up, some their own, and no one could be sure that the things lost here could be picked up again.

Putting away the scarlet crystal, the two skeletons, one high and one low, continued on the road, wandering on the barren land, looking for the way back.

And at the same time, deep in Hell, in the Demon Capital, under the tower of the Demon King Management Division, Ka Mu · Dragon was grabbing Ge Li En's collar with both hands, roaring uncontrollably.

"... If my brother loses even a finger, I will never let you go!"

At this moment, he was like an angry bull, making it unclear whether he was making a fuss or truly worried about the safety of his brother.

Or maybe both.

"Mr. Dragon... please calm down first, I know you are very worried about your relatives, but I am afraid we have more serious problems to face now." Ge Li En persuaded with a wry smile, but had no way to deal with this arrogant High-Tier Demon.

He really had no way.

Even if he was the deputy director, the power content of the Demon King Management Division was too low, even many people in the same department didn't care about him, let alone these Hell nobles with fiefs.

Just when he was helpless, a carriage suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Ge Li En's eyes lit up, as if seeing a savior, and shouted at the carriage that hadn't stopped steadily.

"Respected Demon King! You are finally here!"
