Chapter 971 Chilling Memories
[Fenghuo Novel Network wap station:] Suddenly, a long string of trumpets made all the devils shut up, and the red mist at the bottom of the pit surged more cheerfully, and the originally crystalline lake surface rolled like lava. Boiling.
Roland noticed that as the horns sounded, the two devils walked out of the crowd and stepped onto the slender stone bridge.
One of them belongs to the mad demon species, and the other actually looks a bit like the hell lord in Agatha's words.
The former was already burly enough, stronger than any mad demon he had ever seen before, but in front of the reptile-like territorial lord, he seemed not so impressive.
Neither of them were wearing armor, and they were jostling each other along the way, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.
The demons who were watching not only did not show the slightest surprise, but actually looked extremely excited.
What is this going to do? A duel?
Roland immediately thought of the signature activities of those barbaric races - one-on-one battles to demonstrate bravery, never giving up until one party falls, and the one who survives to the end is the hero of the race.
He is not racist, but this kind of self-defeating style of play seems very exciting and exciting, and sooner or later he will kill himself. Therefore, the gladiatorial games that were so popular on earth were only held between slaves and beasts. In other words, no one feels bad when they die.
Of course, if you were sitting on the human side, it was natural to watch the excitement. Roland took advantage of the convenience of the ghost's perspective to pass directly through the layers of demons and followed them onto the stone bridge.
After entering the Hanging Island, he discovered that someone had already arrived on this platform, which was about the same size as the Neverwinter City Square.
When Roland saw the other person clearly, his eyes widened.
That was actually a female devil!
No, he wasn't sure that the other person was a female in the literal sense, but judging from its appearance, it did have many characteristics of a human female.
And his appearance is quite good, the kind that will definitely cause a wave of trends in future generations——
Wait, this is not scientific at all!
The alarm bells in his heart suddenly rang loudly.
Why can an alien race that is completely incompatible with humans produce individuals that are so close? It’s just walking upright. For predators, a higher field of vision can indeed bring more survival advantages. It can be regarded as a common skill point on the road of evolution, but even the appearance is so similar, it is really too similar. A bit too much.
Fortunately, the female devil still maintains extremely obvious alien features, such as blue-black skin, protruding horns, bone spurs all over the shoulders and arms, and the third eye standing upright on the forehead, etc. In addition to having a vast experience like him, As a time traveler, other people should not have the slightest interest in such a terrifying "monster".
The two devils did not start fighting immediately. Instead, they leaned down and saluted the woman in white gauze robe. Then they each retreated to the edge of the platform and stood solemnly facing the lake of red mist.
The female devil also slowly walked to the edge of the island and sang loudly.
The surface of the lake was churning more violently, as if something was about to emerge.
Roland realized that this might not be a simple duel, or that they were not challenging each other...
As soon as this thought came out, two thick tentacles rushed out of the red mist and swung towards the mad demon and the hell lord - if this blow hit, not to mention being smashed into meat patties, at least their lives would not be saved. However, they did not make any resistance, but raised their hands impatiently.
Following the female devil's loud shout, the tentacles seemed to be reluctant to stop on the two people's heads. After squirming for a moment, they spit out a stream of mucus and a crystal clear gem.
Then they used their fingers to dig open the skin on the chest without hesitation, and pressed the gem into the flesh.
In an instant, a strong light burst out, making it almost impossible to look directly at it!
Roland's heart trembled—could that be a magic stone?
Is this how the devil's fighting troops obtain supernatural abilities?
But he vaguely felt that something was wrong. The mad demons were the lowest level soldiers of the enemy. In a battle, there would be thousands if not tens of thousands. If even their transformation required such pomp, this city would not have to do it all day long. Something else.
After a few minutes, the light gradually faded, and the scene that emerged surprised him.
The originally arrogant Hell Lord was seen huddled together, as if he was suffering great pain. All the pores on his back were opened, spraying out bursts of white mist, and his body was actually melting.
The crazy demon type was much better. Although his expression was extremely ferocious and there were eye-catching veins protruding from the scar on his chest, he was at least still standing. In addition, its body shape has obviously shrunk a lot, and its arms and thighs are no longer as thick as buckets. I don't know if this is the sequelae of the magic stone inlay.
Looking at the two devils in very different situations, Roland couldn't help but think of the transformation ceremony of the God's Punishment Army.
Do they need to pay the price of their lives if they want to become warriors and gain the favor of magic?
However, the next moment, the Hell Lord let out a piercing scream. It raised its upper body and pressed towards the female devil in the field with lightning speed.
With a loud noise, the entire suspended island trembled.
Roland originally expected to see a pool of crushed flesh under the opponent, but there was nothing except cracked masonry.
The Hell Lord who lost his target became even more angry. He looked at the mad demon on the other side with a pair of red eyes, his murderous intention clearly revealed.
I see.
He probably understood the reason for this incident.
Failure to set the magic stone will not cause the devils to die, it will only turn them into something else - at least the hell lord's appearance has become more like a reptile monster, and there is no trace of rationality in his behavior. It was considered an intelligent species before, but now it has degenerated into a complete beast.
But what surprised him was that the mad demon showed no signs of evading, and instead fought with the giant reptile with a fanatical look on his face!
The magic stone gives it new abilities, and its shrunken size makes it more agile!
The seemingly powerful four-legged monster was retreating steadily under the attack of the mad demon. The high-temperature steam it spewed could only burn the corners of the opponent's clothes, but the black light waves released by the opponent could leave deep visible bones on its body. of wounds.
In less than five minutes, the battle came to an end.
The last blow came from the Mad Demon's signature throw - it tore off the monster's tail, peeled off the skin and flesh three times, raised the long string of tail bones high, and threw it hard at the dying target!
The bones that shot out like lightning penetrated the hell lord's head directly, and the four-legged monster no longer had any chance of living.
Roland, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, sank into the water. He noticed that the winner's arm showed no signs of withering.
After killing the irrational fellow, the madman walked step by step to the huge corpse, tore off the magic stone and swallowed it together with the opponent's flesh and blood.
The audience suddenly burst into exclamations!
Even the female devil who returned to the scene at some unknown time raised her eyebrows in surprise.
The mad demon once again showed a painful expression, and steam came out of his nostrils and ears... But Roland clearly saw that in this unspeakable torture, the other party grinned, as if he was asking for it.
This time the change lasted much longer, and it took about half an hour for it to gradually recover. After tearing off the skin covered with burning blisters, the face of the mad demon has become completely different from before.
Roland couldn't help but take a breath.
That is undoubtedly a face close to human!
Seeing this scene, the devils on the other side of the island started shouting wildly.
"Shalitta!"
I don’t know who started it first, but soon, this word with unknown meaning became a roar that resounded throughout the Red Mist Lake!
"Shalitta!"
"Shalitta!"
"Shalitta!"
Roland's heart sank to the bottom.
The rumor that Pasha had mentioned appeared in his mind involuntarily.
"It is rumored that before the first battle of divine will started... no, it should be said that there were people who came into contact with the devil earlier."
"At that time, they were no different from wild beasts. It was a human who imparted knowledge to them."
"And this... is also the reason why later high-level devils tend to take human form." A-Gump Novel Network [Remember us: Fenghuo Novel Network wap station:]
