Chapter 695: The Demons’ Nest (2)
But…
“No, Ji Fengyan spoke the truth,” Situ Ba suddenly spoke. He scanned the dim underground world before him and said coldly, “There are really more than a million demons here.”
“What? But… we have noticed no demons.” Zhan Fei said.
Situ Ba shook his head. He raised the heavy sword in his hand once more. The sharp sword tip pointed at the surrounding vine trees that had demon aura swirling around them.
“Lord Zhan, why don’t you count the number of demon vines here.”
Zhan Fei widened his eyes slightly. When he looked at them, there were numerous demon vines, too many for the eyes to take in and too many to count.
“At least a few thousand…” Zhan Fei spoke tentatively .
But Situ Ba laughed coldly and said, “Ten thousand. Without counting the demons we killed on our way here, just these demon vines here would cost almost a million demon lives. That’s why I said… Ji Fengyan’s estimate is accurate.”
“Are the demons mad? They exchanged their own people for these useless plants!” Zhan Fei’s face was filled with wonder.
The demons were just below the Plain of Corpses. They would know about the three army alliance and the movement of their troops.
With a big battle clearly looming, the demons had expended a million troops. Was this a joke?
Situ Ba lifted his chin slightly. His gaze moved over the numerous demon vines. Behind the layers of vines was a huge, black, unidentified object that joined the top and bottom.
This object’s size was extremely big, like a huge palace that was made up of demon vines.
“Mad? No… the demons are not mad.” The corners of Situ Ba’s curled into a smile. “They are awaiting the birth of their new Demon King.”
“What! Demon… Demon King…” Zhan Fei received a sudden shock.
The Demon King was the most powerful demon. It was a supremely powerful entity that could suppress even the extremely high-level demons.
Just hearing the two words Demon King made Zhan Fei’s knees tremble involuntarily. He would never have imagined that he would meet a Demon King this time!
This time, he did not have a single intention of joining the battle.
One should know that the Terminators could withstand most of the demons. But a Demon King was the only demon that could exterminate the Terminators!
“Why? Are you scared?” Situ Ba raised his brows and looked at Zhan Fei.
Zhan Fei gulped secretly but did not dare to make any casual retorts.
“This Ten-Thousand Demon Array is the secret to breeding a new Demon King. The demons have mobilized such great forces to breed a new Demon King at this dangerous time. I believe… their original Demon King is about to die. Moreover, the newly born Demon King will be very young and its battle strength will not be comparable with a mature low-level demon. So there is nothing to worry about.” In contrast to the terrified Zhan Fei, Situ Ba’s eyes shone with a flame of eagerness.
Although Demon Kings were powerful, so powerful they were almost beyond the nature of demons, they had two stages in which they were extremely vulnerable. One was when they were first born, and the other was when its demon aura was almost all spent.
“Lord Zhan, this is an incredible stroke of fortune. If we manage to catch two Demon Kings in one stroke, the credit we will gain will probably be even greater than that of the first Terminator!” Ambition shone in Situ Ba’s expression.
Zhan Fei’s expression also brightened slightly. The credit from killing two Demon Kings… would truly be incomparable!
