Chapter 309: Demon King levels up alone!

On the boundless wasteland, a mutation is brewing silently.

I only heard the dull and slow vibration coming from far to near, like the mountain range breathing, and like a sleeping giant beast waking up from a dream.

"—Boom."

That is a giant standing ten stories high.

The crimson muscles drummed with ominousness like burning lava, and thick twisted blood vessels intertwined into a net, like crazy vines wrapping around his whole body.

His head hung low, leaning forward like a beast, his neck and back bent extremely unnaturally.

A series of bone protrusions derived from his back toward the sky, as heavy and ferocious as the tusks of a mammoth.

With every breath he took, the bone spurs on his spine trembled slightly, fanning out destructive aura like opened wings!

He didn't wear any armor, nor did he need any armor. His exposed red fists were polished like mountain rocks, stained with dark blood.

Those two fists only needed to be waved casually to flatten a mountain peak!

And even more terrifying was that the skin all over his body kept breaking because it couldn't bear the expansion of muscles and blood vessels. From the wounds bulging like pustules, small lives were constantly falling—

Those were twisted-looking, ugly-faced Ka'ao young beasts. They fell off his pustules, wailing and gathering into a flowing herd of evil at his side.

Those Ka'ao young beasts instinctively showed fear of him, wandering under his feet, bowing their heads and wailing, but unable to escape.

And he himself seemed to have long been accustomed to all this.

Other conscious Ka'ao people avoided him when they saw him migrating, staying away from this behemoth, and respectfully called him "Mountain Butcher."

As for his name, no one knew.

Even he himself didn't know.

He only remembered that from the moment he had consciousness, a low, blurry, crazy voice echoed in the depths of his broken soul—

"Omga!"

"My child... go fight! Go destroy! Devour everything you see—"

"Until you become the only one on this planet!"

He took that dull whisper as the meaning of existence, and followed the voice in the dark all the way to this barren land.

Omga suddenly stopped his steps, looked up abruptly, his nostrils flared violently, sucking the air on the desert like a long whale drinking water.

"—It's here—"

From the dead air, he captured a trace of fresh and strong aura.

That is the smell of blood.

And it was fresh blood that had just been slaughtered and hadn't completely cooled down.

Following the guidance of the smell, he found the remains left by the Ka'ao beast herd hunted by the players like 【Ye Ye Zhiqiu】 earlier.

Looking at those disemboweled corpses and blood scattered all over the ground, Omga grinned, revealing a ferocious smile, the bloody light reflected in his crimson pupils, just like a beast that had been hungry for half a month seeing delicious prey.

But just at this moment, he also vaguely smelled a trace of ominous aura, which seemed to be nearby not far from here.

Omga frowned slightly, and even the cortex of his brain wrinkled.

But after only a few seconds, he gave up thinking and relaxed his tense nerves.

Considering that kind of thing is too complicated.

Just eat it together.

On this land, he is an invincible existence—at least he thinks so himself.

In the next second, Omga grinned and stepped forward with heavy steps, dragging the herd of young beasts hatched from the evil pustules on his body, and slowly and firmly walked toward the nearby mountains along the bloody smell...

In the distant cave, by the slowly burning campfire, the fire chips crackled and flapped their wings upward.

The sky outside the cave was still dim yellow, and time seemed to be frozen in the dusk on this dead planet.

A soul fire lit up in the cold skull, Ye Ye Zhiqiu suddenly sat up from the ground, tried to move his finger joints, and the bones clicked.

Log in!

Level up!

An hour ago, he was bored because the goal was achieved, but at this moment, his heart was full of high-spirited fighting spirit, wishing he could rush into the monster sea immediately!

The reason is nothing else—

This is no longer an ordinary game!

From the b01 update, he not only saw the broad prospects of "Catastrophe OL," but also saw the ambition of the dog planner to make it big and strong!

Although his level is already full, there is still an experience bar that can be filled.

He plans to wait until the experience bar is full before going back to ascend to the Silver rank, one step at a time, which can be considered as saving the time of rushing back and forth.

Just at the moment he stood up from the ground, a familiar voice came almost immediately.

"Holy shit! Brother Ye! You damn it, you really opened a small official account?!"

The three good brothers were already waiting for him online.

The pig-head knight jumped out first, shouting at him with excitement.

The bull-head brother, who usually doesn't like to join in the fun, also became unserious this time.

"I tm also started to suspect, how come you just reached full level and the new version is ready, this is too tm outrageous!"

Looking at these two silly guys helplessly, Ye Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said.

"We have cooperated so many times, how can you still think so?"

To be honest.

With the potential of this game, there is no need to arrange an official internal ghost at all, okay?

The bull-head warrior grinned, touched his bald back of the head and said.

"I just want to have a dream, can't I? In case you are really an official small account, also open a back door for the brothers..."

Ye Ye Zhiqiu interrupted his words unceremoniously.

"Don't think about it, it's impossible... let alone I'm not, even if I am, I won't take this precious job opportunity and incentive options to do this kind of meaningless stupid thing."

"Holy shit! Simply ruthless!" The pig-head knight had a devastated look, his claws covering his heart.

Ignoring this living treasure, Ye Ye Zhiqiu paused for a moment and continued.

"Of course, regarding what you said about the update being ready just after I reached full level... my speculation is that the operation team did notice our growth trajectory, and then pushed the test rhythm according to our progress."

"You say that makes me feel like I'm being watched..." Watching Hu Wan subconsciously looked around, but didn't see anything.

That's natural—

If the operation team wants to watch them, they don't need to set up an extra account to follow, just adjust the data in the background.

Any game is like this.

Ye Ye Zhiqiu didn't feel anything bad, shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Being watched by the official may not be a bad thing, at least you don't have to worry about being ignored when you encounter bugs, and problems can be fixed in the first time."

Of course, relatively, don't even think about getting excess benefits by using bugs.

But for him, this is not a regret.

He is not the kind of person who likes to take shortcuts, and the tolerance of most operators for the behavior of using bugs is very low.

"That's what I said... but being watched all the time makes me feel weird," Watching Hu Wan made a helpless expression, "Maybe I think too much, I'll adapt slowly."

"In short, let's stop talking nonsense."

Ye Ye Zhiqiu patted the magic wand, continued with high spirits.

"Ready to level up!"

Hearing this sentence, the atmosphere in the cave became active again.

【Pig-head Knight】 grinned, carried the more than one-meter-long butcher knife on his shoulder, and his slender forked tongue wretchedly scraped a circle of scales around his mouth.

"I'm already sitting tight!"

However, just at the moment he carried the butcher knife on his shoulder, the earth-shaking tremor suddenly came from outside the cave.

Gravel fell, and the faces of the four players changed together.

"What's the situation?!"

Pig-head brother looked at the cave entrance abruptly, and Watching Hu Wan had already taken the lead to step out of the "Wind Walk," flashing toward the entrance of the cave like a shadow.

And just at the moment he stood outside the cave entrance, the scene that came into view made him completely stunned on the spot, losing his speech for a while.

This is—

What kind of thing?!

I saw a giant standing ten stories high walking on the withered yellow wasteland, every step he took left a huge footprint, followed by the wailing of the earth.

And this was not the most surprising thing for him.

The most surprising thing was that the pustules constantly breaking on the giant's body were gushing out dense Ka'ao young beasts!

Those little ghosts with teeth and claws were like rolling mud, rushing toward the mountain peak where they were from all directions.

In the time they went offline to eat, they had actually been surrounded by monsters!

That monster seemed to have noticed him, the crimson pupils released terrifying light, and the murderous intent rushing toward his face was like a solid entity!

Unfortunately, there was no saliva in his mouth.

Watching Hu Wan could only barely swallow a mouthful of cold air, and the traps arranged near the cave entrance couldn't bring him a bit of safety.

In front of that quantity and volume, all struggles seemed pale and powerless—

Fear kept tearing at his nerves, until a sonorous and powerful voice came from behind him, hitting his head like a hammer.

"Dispel!"

Dang—!

Accompanied by a light sound echoing in the skull, Watching Hu Wan woke up from the nightmare, and the negative emotions stuck in his heart disappeared instantly!

"You were hit by a fear spell." Ye Ye Zhiqiu walked out of the darkness, the two-handed staff in his hand exuding dark green light.

Watching Hu Wan really felt much better, and looked at him gratefully.

"Thanks!"

This game is not just the experience of transcendent power is real—

Even the effect of negative states can be restored technically... although the sensory transmitted to the player is weakened.

Watching Hu Wan couldn't imagine what kind of experience it would be if it wasn't processed by sensory dulling.

Just this forum, there are still people shouting for a 500% sensory enhancement mode, wouldn't that directly scare the heart to stop?

Simply crazy!

"You're welcome."

Ye Ye Zhiqiu cast his gaze toward the behemoth in the distance, the soul fire in his skull flickered slightly, just like wild grass swaying on the wasteland.

Elite monster?

Boss?

Or a monster temporarily edited by the dog planner to suppress his progress?

No matter which one it was, the power exuded invisibly far exceeded his past experience and cognition.

Even if he didn't know the other party's level, he could feel that it was definitely not an opponent he could easily defeat, at least it was a Gold-level!

There is no doubt—

This will be a bitter battle!

There is no time to hesitate!

Ye Ye Zhiqiu stuck the two-handed staff in his hand heavily on the ground, dark green magic light emerged from the soles of his feet, constructing the shape of a magic circle.

While preparing to cast the spell, he roared loudly.

"Start the group—! Cover me!"

"Ao—!"

Just at the moment his voice fell, the pig-head knight had already rushed out first, shouting. I saw his butcher knife dancing like a whirlwind, left and right, cutting down the Ka'ao war beasts that were less than one meter tall and not fully developed!

However—

The ones cut down were just Ka'ao young beast cannon fodder.

These little guys who were not even Black Iron-level had no combat power at all, and their strength was only slightly stronger than the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village.

The bull-head warrior raised the sword and shield in his hand, put on a defensive posture, and guarded tightly beside the magic circle unfolded by Ye Ye Zhiqiu.

As for Watching Hu Wan, he tried to break out of the encirclement of the beast herd, but unfortunately, the beast tide formed by the Ka'ao young beasts was too dense, and he was forced back several times when he rushed forward.

Looking at the four little ants struggling in the storm, the crimson giant grinned a cruel smile, and the murderous intent released in his crimson pupils became even more terrifying.

He suddenly reached behind his back, as if squeezing the pustules on his body, and grabbed a piece of turbid matter lying with waxy yellow and blood red.

That was a group of wriggling chaotic embryos—

They wriggled like living amber, trying to break free from the shackles on their bodies, and mouths made twisted and silent wails.

"Roar—!"

That wail seemed to turn into Omga's roar.

He was like a shot put athlete, sticking the waxy yellow and blood red mixed matter on his shoulder, and then threw it heavily toward the four players surrounded by the Ka'ao young beast herd.

That huge projectile was like a projectile thrown by a catapult, making a mournful sound of breaking through the air in the sky, and then smashed heavily toward the mountain peak one kilometer away.

Looking at the projectile that suddenly appeared in the sky, the soul fire in Ye Ye Zhiqiu's skull suddenly shook, gritted his teeth and completed the final spell, and waved the tip of the staff before the projectile began to accelerate and fall.

"Tear · Flame Demon's Hand—!"

A burning claw emerged from the roaring flames, biting toward the projectile falling at acceleration like a giant dragon opening its mouth!

That was the strongest Steel-level fire attribute magic he mastered!

It consumed half of his mp slot in just one go!

And that flame hand reaching toward the sky really didn't live up to his expectations, grabbing the huge pustule flying whistling in the air, and wrapping it entirely!

However, just when Ye Ye Zhiqiu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the flame hand tightly held in the air suddenly exploded into fireworks in the sky.

Boom!!!

The shock wave of the explosion shattered the flame hand that existed like a solid, and hundreds of burning Ka'ao young beasts fell toward their direction like rain!

"Day—"

The bull-head warrior let out a short roar, just raised his shield upward, and the shield surface was hit hard, and the alloy shield surface was almost dented.

The Ka'ao young beast stepping on his shield let out a shrill scream, looked at him who was just a skeleton frame with bloodthirsty eyes, and then rushed toward him to bite like a mad dog.

The bull-head warrior reacted quickly, the sword held in his right hand stabbed toward that hideous face, killing it without suspense.

However—

The situation on the scene still didn't make him optimistic.

The one he killed was only one, and there were at least hundreds of monsters surrounding him! There were even more rushing up densely from the bottom of the mountain!

Not to mention that gradually approaching Ka'ao giant, that ferocious face and crimson pupils were becoming more and more clear.

"Damn it! There are too many of them!" The bull-head warrior retreated while using the traps beside him to prevent being bypassed by those monsters with teeth and claws, and finally his back was stuck to the wall.

His situation was still okay, the skeleton body made the Ka'ao young beasts not know where to start.

In contrast, the pig-head knight was much more miserable. Facing these little cubs who opened berserk, his body was already pitted, and there were not many scales that were intact!

"Dog planner is targeting us?!"

"Damn! It's all your fault for suspecting our Ye brother! Now, in order to prove his innocence, he directly summoned a boss—"

"?? What does it have to do with me."

Ye Ye Zhiqiu didn't join the topic of his teammates, all his attention was focused on the battle in front of him.

Wielding the two-handed staff in his hand to knock away the approaching monsters, he skillfully cast the cyclone technique to pull away the distance, and at the same time completed the casting of the fireball technique, continuously hitting several fist-sized missiles to block the monsters flying toward him, and supported Watching Hu Wan who was rushing toward his direction.

His melee ability is not weak, after all, the skill he learned first is not magic, but the sword technique of the Dragon God Sect!

If it were just the Ka'ao beast herd, with the strength of the four of them at the Steel level, although it was difficult, it was not without a chance of winning.

However, unfortunately, those Ka'ao young beasts were not their real opponents, just "dandruff" falling from a more huge monster.

The earth-shaking roar came from the air close at hand, looking at the huge projection printed on the ground, the four players fighting at the cave entrance felt heavy in their hearts.

Finished—

In contrast, "Mountain Butcher" Omga, who was looking down at the four little ants, showed a cruel grin, and the murderous intent released in his crimson pupils became even more terrifying.

For him, slapping them to death was no different from slapping a few ants to death!

However, just when he was about to end those four prey, a sign of death climbed into Omga's heart, so that even his soul produced a tremor that shouldn't have been there, and his movements also paused for a moment.

Vaguely, he heard the whisper in the wind—

"Shadow of Withering."

"Retreat!"

Not missing this fleeting opportunity, Ye Ye Zhiqiu greeted his three teammates, and with the road opened by the fireball technique, quickly rushed out of the area shrouded in shadows.

The palm the size of a city gate finally fell, hitting the position where they were standing, erasing the traps and shelters they arranged, along with the entire mountain top!

The noisy airflow carried dust, turning into a huge shock wave, pushing the four players to the bottom of the hillside.

Thanks to this, the young beast herd that surrounded them also suffered. They rushed to the cave like a tide, and at this moment, they also rolled down from the mountain like a waterfall.

Watching that mountain peak shattered by a single slap, Ye Ye Zhiqiu felt a lingering fear in his heart, while simultaneously turning his head to search for the kind soul who had just intervened to save him.

And just at this moment, a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the sky, like a spear thrown from the air, hitting the giant's forehead straight!

Hit on the head, Omga let out a roar of pain, his crimson pupils locked tightly on the four prey who had escaped by luck.

His intuition told him that they did it, but the whisper in the dark suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart, calling in his ear.

'It's not them—'

'In your front left! You idiot!'

That voice carried a trace of irritability.

Omga's movements paused, and he slowly looked up toward his front left, only to see a figure wrapped in a black cloak standing there, looking at him expressionlessly.

He held a slender magic wand in his hand, only half a meter long, but the aura flowing on the magic wand made him feel a panic from the depths of his soul.

'Kill him!'

There was no need for that whisper in the dark to say more, he let out a dull roar in his mouth, and waved that huge and clumsy palm again.

"Roar!!"

The fishy smell of rotting blood rushed toward his face along with the shock wave of the roar. Just as it was about to touch the corner of that figure's clothes, it was lightly missed by an invisible airflow.

Following the giant's gaze, Ye Ye Zhiqiu finally managed to see clearly who the person who had helped was, but he was stunned for an instant.

That is...

Demon King?!

"Holy shit..." The pig-head knight subconsciously burst out a swear word, looking at the Demon King standing on the mountain top with straight eyes, the whole lizardman was confused.

Why is the Demon King here?

Do npcs also need to level up?!

Without paying attention to the astonishment of the 4 little players, Luo Yan just looked at the red giant with muscular muscles quietly.

Just at the moment his huge crimson pupils met his gaze, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Finally noticed.

Because the monsters killed by sneak attacks will lead to the decay of experience value, he chose to appear in the other party's field of vision when giving the final blow.

This is definitely not for showing off.

Looking at the huge palm rushing toward him, Luo Yan's expression didn't change at all, just his lips moved slightly, chanting obscure spells easily.

"Nether · Whisper of the Dead!"

With the last syllable falling, the earth under the giant suddenly shook violently, and dark green light spread from his soles.

The withered yellow wasteland was painted into the color of a graveyard, and one after another withered palms climbed up along his ankles, just like tattoos printed on his skin.

In just a few breaths, the thick aura of death entangled his lower body, penetrating into the dense blood vessels.

"Roar—!"

Omga let out a roar of pain, trying to break free from the shackles of the aura of death, but in the end, it was just in vain.

The crimson muscles withered under the corrosion of the aura of death, and the waxy yellow pustules kept collapsing.

The Ka'ao young beast herd parasitic on his body all let out shrill wails, struggling to turn into deformed dead bodies, and the crimson light in their eyes was gradually replaced by the green light marking the identity of the undead, and began to bow down to bite the body that nurtured them.

Tear—!

The sound of flesh and blood separation crawled all over Omga's body like soap bubbles that kept breaking. His knees couldn't help but soften, and he knelt heavily on the ground, and the right hand reaching toward Luo Yan lost its target, slapping futilely at the foot of the mountain behind the latter.

The mighty dust soared into the sky, but was pushed away by an invisible air wall when it touched the mountain peak, and didn't even blow Luo Yan's cloak behind him.

That distance close at hand was like an insurmountable chasm.

Looking from afar, it was as if that arrogant giant surrendered at his feet, reaching out and offering its soul.

The whisper in the dark disappeared, Omga wailed in despair, but could only watch his consciousness dissipate in the scattered dust.

Finally, he stopped breathing, and countless Ka'ao young beasts poured out from the broken pustules on his skin, like ants fleeing from an anthill.

Looking at the epic battle, the soul fire shaking in Ye Ye Zhiqiu's skull was full of shock, just like a mayfly looking at the Kunpeng in the sky.

Is this the power of the Demon King...

It's really terrifyingly strong!

In his heart, besides awe, a strong desire for power was also ignited!

He wants to become stronger!

At the same time, Luo Yan standing on the mountain peak retracted the magic wand in his hand, as if drawing a rest for a performance.

"Actually an existence similar to 'Gray Wind'..."

That is a monster stitched together by a group of Ka'ao war beasts. Its soul level is not high, but the quantity is terrifying... just like that mother tree parasitic in the labyrinth of Lei Ming County.

Maybe one million, maybe ten million... he doesn't know specifically, after all, the souls on the Ka'ao planet are relatively special, a thing with a highly similar frequency.

Different from the creatures on the Os continent.

The souls here have completely turned into tools for slaughter after experiencing unknown how many thousands of years of fighting.

Perhaps after a few more millennia, they will completely turn into a unified will, not even leaving the last ripple of difference, turning into the shape of chaos together with the "Seed of Creation" of the entire planet.

However, since the corrosion of the graveyard has spread here, they probably have no hope.

【

id: Luo Yan

Race: Human

Soul Level: Diamond (Level Cap lv130)

Level: lv. 80 (+1)

Physique: 45 (+1)

Strength: 26

Agility: 27

Intelligence: 179 (+2)

Spirit: 153 (+2)

】

Luo Yan opened his attribute panel to confirm, and the experience bar was filled again as expected.

Now he has reached the middle stage of Gold-level!

Developing according to this rhythm, maybe it won't take too long to reach Platinum, and then he will be considered to have a battle power in both Hell and the surface.

Considering that his soul is basically elevated by his own faith power, and the graveyard's faith is currently at 100% domination efficiency, he even has the confidence to fight a Diamond-level powerhouse.

"Why is there such an ugly monster..." Tafu, who was in Sarah's arms, trembled, holding her little head with wings that hadn't hardened yet.

This little guy has been on this planet with him for a week, but obviously still hasn't adapted to the environment here.

Luo Yan brought this guy just to let her gain experience and become a mount that can stand on her own as soon as possible, so he didn't bother with her complaints.

Just be content if you can gain experience.

How many players dream of having this opportunity, but end up with the fate of being bait.

By the way, this is a leveling method Luo Yan recently studied.

Guide players to the depths of the Nameless Wasteland through tasks, and then use the fighting between players and monsters to attract more powerful chaotic servants.

If he judges that he can beat them, he will take action decisively.

This is the back garden of "Flame of Destruction" Kalmandes, there will always be chaotic God-Chosen attracted by the slaughter that pleases the gods, he just needs to wait for the rabbit.

This is much faster than brushing small monsters to level up!

"Sarah, prepare to find the next target." Scattering the wind wall entangled around him, Luo Yan cast his gaze toward Sarah who was standing not far behind him.

Sarah, holding the young dragon, nodded slightly, and said respectfully and obediently.

"Yes, Demon King."
