Chapter 9 The Burning Village at the Foot of the Mountain

"The Demon King is nothing, he is the Demon King." The old man replied.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"The demon king is a king, the king of the demon clan."

"Yes, I understand that the Demon King is the king. I just want to know what kind of monster he is. For example, some monsters are some kind of beasts, or some kind of equipment. What is the Demon King you are talking about?"

"The Demon King is a human being."

"Human? You mean people like us?"

"Excuse me for the offence, is it a human race?" the old man looked at me in surprise and asked.

I was stunned for a moment when I was asked, and then I realized that I was indeed not a human in the game, and not even in reality. However, this demon king is actually a human race, which is a strange thing in the world.

"How can the king of demons be a human being?"

"Actually, he is not completely human." The old man said: "The Demon King used to be a human, but then something happened and he transformed into a half-human, half-demon state. But he is still partly human, but he became the Demon King." .”

"Do you know the reason for this transformation?"

The old man shook his head and said: "I only know some legends, which seem to say that the Demon King was once sacrificed as a sacrifice, but the sacrifice failed, and then he became the current Demon King somehow. But this is all me I’m not sure if it’s true what I heard. Also, the Demon King has a very strange personality. Sometimes he’s very kind, and sometimes he becomes very evil.”

"Do you know what his fighting ability is like?"

"Stop making fun of me! If I had seen the Demon King take action, I would have died a long time ago. How can I still talk to you here?"

I nodded to acknowledge what the old man said. Then he said: "Okay, call your people and take us back. I want to see your General Qiman."

"this……!"

As soon as the old man said something, he saw Zhenhong walking over and gently helping an overturned bullock cart, and then immediately surrendered.

Although our strength is greatly restricted in this buff mission, the strength attribute of True Red is there after all. Even if it is suppressed like this, there is still no pressure to lift a car or something.

The frightened old man quickly began to call the other people who were frightened to return to the team, but the effect was very bad. Except for a few people who returned to the team after being called by the old man, most of the people were still slumped there without moving anywhere. Some people even howled and ran away immediately after being awakened.

We certainly won't be kind to those who try to escape. However, we are not murderers. It’s not that we don’t dare to kill NPCs, but because we are afraid of affecting subsequent tasks, so we just catch these people and throw them back into the team. He didn't actually kill someone. But some guys are just too "brave". So in the end we had to use some cruel methods.

Speaking of these "brave" guys. All I can say is that I can't understand their behavior at all. These guys were among the people who fainted from fright before, and then started running wildly outside the team after being woken up. Of course, they were also intercepted like others. A few of the guys were thrown right back into the line, but they would get up and keep running. After that, he had to waste his magic power to control the flying sword to stop these guys, and even cut off the entire arm of one of the guys. In this case, those who run away out of fear should stop out of fear. However, the fact is that these guys not only did not stop, but actually ran faster.

After those guys accelerated, Gold Coin began to arrange a wall of flying swords in front of them that looked like a meat grinder. This wall was entirely made up of the blades of flying swords. The effect was even more exaggerated than iron wire. Anyone could rush up to it. , will be immediately hit by the constantly rotating flying sword roller. However, since the flying sword roller does not move, there will definitely be no problem as long as those people don't hit it by themselves. After all, the roller will not chase people.

But this is one of the reasons why I call those guys "brave" and unreasonable. They were obviously frightened and ran away, which shows that they should be timid. However, if they were timid, these guys were stunned and rushed into the inside of the rotating drum.

Because we don’t intend to actually kill these NPCs, the gap in the middle of the meat grinder-like flying sword roller set up with gold coins is actually much larger than it looks. Although people will enter late, it will not really kill you. It's the same as cutting into pickled fish fillets. At most, you only need to scrape off a layer of meat. However, even just scraping off a layer of flesh is a very scary thing. People's self-protection ability should prevent people from bumping up on their own, but these guys just bumped into it and rushed into the inside of the drum. During this process, these guys seemed to have been polished with sandpaper. Almost all the skin on their bodies was completely scraped off, and their entire bodies turned blood red. The terrifying appearance was even scarier than a real skeleton. . After all, the snow-white bones of the skeleton don't look very scary. This kind of situation with only flesh and no skin is really super scary.

Because the situation of being beaten was so tragic, even my whole body hurt when I saw it, but these guys actually rushed in. How much courage does it take to do such a thing? However, to call them brave, their purpose in rushing in was to escape, which really left me speechless. If you're really that brave, there's no need to rush into something like this and die, right?

Although we couldn't understand what these guys did, we couldn't really kill these guys, so in the end we just hung these guys directly on the bullock cart for public display. Anyway, these guys looked miserable, but in fact they were not injured. Heavy. The pain is definitely very painful, but it is not that easy to die.

With these anti-second teaching materials, the remaining people became much more obedient, so the old man quickly reorganized the team and even some of those who had escaped before came back.

The team that had finished reorganizing began to walk back along the route they came from, and the speed was much faster than before. When they came, they were carrying the bride to the Demon King's territory, and humans would definitely be able to resist and not want to go to that kind of place, so the speed naturally slowed down unconsciously. As for now... we are followed by four big demon kings. Of course, these people want to fly back directly to escape quickly.

In this weird atmosphere, the team rushed back to the mountain village at twice the speed. Then I saw a very huge walled city, but this walled city... "What's burning?" (To be completed) Continued.)
