Chapter 687 The Smell of Conspiracy?

"Help me, help..."

Evelina's panicked cry for help came to an abrupt end.

It’s not that we are out of danger,

Instead, the whole person has been completely dragged into the twisted gravitational channel by the chains of corruption and disappeared.

Because everything happened so suddenly,

As a result, all the generals and soldiers were stunned in place, unable to react in time.

"This..." Murphy was stunned and scratched his head at a loss.

The hot molten flow on the body slowly cooled down and returned to the shape of rock:

"What's going on?"

Rahm shook his head twice, and finally adjusted the appropriate position. The six mechanical eyes rotated in a circle, glowing with a bright blue light:

"Obviously, we have lost another Bronze Boots warrior."

"Oh, Grandmaster Mechanical, I think I will always miss this beautiful Eldar lady."

"But this has never happened before..." Austin drooped his arms and moved closer weakly.

Previously, when his body was wrapped in armor and he was charging wildly in the wave of parasitic demons, the Ogryn level 100 orc only felt extremely happy and had no thought at all about the loss of physical strength.

As a result, the armor disappeared now and returned to its original state.

All kinds of aches and fatigues invade the whole body!

If it weren't for the racial characteristics of the Ogryn orcs, they could still maintain the most basic ability to move even when their physical strength is exhausted.

At this moment, Austin probably didn't even have the strength to stand up straight.

"Today's situation is very different from usual times." Rahm turned his head and analyzed in a very rational mechanical voice:

"The Terror Lair in the Howling Canyon turned into a Parasitic Demon Lair for no reason, and the Demon Prince suddenly appeared. These two obvious anomalies alone are enough to explain the problem."

"Perhaps we should leave the Demon Realm immediately, return to the Outpost Star, and report the changes here to the Overlord Council."

There is no way to communicate with the outside world in the Demon Realm, not even with the help of magical data panels.

Therefore, if you want to pass on information, you must leave first.

"That's all we can do for now..." Murphy turned his head and looked at the parasitic demon's lair that had been reduced to ruins, and sighed deeply.

After a brief rest, everyone set off on their way home.

With the help of the airship, he quickly left the middle of the Demon Realm and arrived at the outskirts of the Demon Realm. Then he took out the airship and left the Demon Realm.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion,

On the way back, Austin always felt that there were fewer evil demons wandering around the space rift.

Moreover, all of them are very sick, and their desire to attack is not strong.

Unless the airship is very close, it won't even bother to move.

"Captain Murphy, did you install any interference device on the airship? Why do these evil demons look so uninterested?"

"You know when I came in before, they were all 'enthusiastic'..."

Murphy shook his stone head, also confused:

"The configuration of my airship is the same as yours. It is provided internally by the Overlord Army and has not been modified in any way."

"The demon wandering in the evil realm is not very interested...is it because of the thin concentration of the demonic energy?"

After hearing this analysis, Austin and the soldiers once again cast their sights out of the porthole.

The black-green demonic energy floating in the air is indeed much thinner than before.

Could it be that the power of the Demon Realm has weakened?

With questions and speculations in his mind, the airship driven by Murphy quickly sailed out of the Padtik Eye.

After a not-so-violent tremor, the boat sailed safely into the established channel leading to the No. 886 Outpost Star.

But at this moment, a soldier who was looking out of the porthole screamed in horror.

"Then, what is that?!"

Austin and Rahm walked out one after another.

I saw many strange creatures emitting bright purple light in the deep and dark sky.

They either surround the surface of the Outpost Star or travel in further directions.

From time to time, rich black and green gas spits out from the surface of these organisms, eroding everything around them!

"The Plague Colossus?!"

Austin grinned widely, his eyes almost popping out of his sockets:

"Why are there so many plague colossi?"

"Could it be that... the demonic tide broke out?!"

The light in Lachem's mechanical eyes turned from blue to red, and he quickly answered:

"According to the sample data collected and summarized in the past, the probability of a demonic tide breaking out is less than 0.75%, which is completely inconsistent with the established time pattern..."

"Furthermore, if the demonic tide really breaks out, do you think we can still escape from the demonic realm alive?"

"You mean it didn't explode?" Murphy scratched his head and dropped a lot of stone chips:

"Why are there so many plague colossi around the Demon Eye?"

"And it seems that many outpost stars have been corrupted..."

As Murphy spoke, the airship happened to pass by a sentry tower star.

Most of the guard towers scattered above have been destroyed, and the holy white light is no longer bright.

The entire small moon was shrouded in corruption and devastation, and became unrecognizable.

The huge and twisted plague colossus is like a greedy tick, frantically sucking in the remains of corpses sent by other demons, filling its own flesh and blood, and producing more low-level demons.

"Without key samples, no conclusion can be drawn." Rahm's six mechanical eyes were arranged in the shape of a question mark on his face, and he continued:

"However, I seem to smell a conspiracy."

"The smell of conspiracy?" Murphy's stone nose made a sniffing sound and said strangely:

"Why didn't I smell it?"

"Is it because the body odor of the Ogryn orcs in the airship is too strong and covers it up?"

Austin looked offended and speechless:

"Metaphor, Captain Murphy, General Lahem used a metaphor."

"The translation means that there must be some unknown conspiracy hidden under the appearance that does not conform to common sense."

"So that's it, I said my nose didn't work for no reason..." Murphy scratched his head again, and there was not much expression on his stiff face.

"In short, the data panel can still be used." Lahem's six mechanical eyes merged into a circle again, rotating at a constant speed on his face:

"I have reported the situation here to the Overlord Council one second ago, and I believe I will get a reply soon."

Before the Titanium Silicon Warrior finished speaking, the data panel of the generals and soldiers received a message.

After clicking it, it was a unified order:

"The Demon Eye is in a large-scale agitation, all the garrisoned Overlord troops enter the first-level combat readiness state, and stop the demons!"

Just agitation?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they were sure that it was not a demonic tide, it would be fine.

Although the restlessness of the demon eye also meant a tough battle,

they just needed to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

If they successfully suppressed it, they would not only receive twice as much military merit as usual, but they might also receive extra rewards from the Overlord Council.

When everyone thought so, their faces were suddenly illuminated by a burst of white light!

There were new changes outside the porthole.
