Chapter 9 The Burning Mountain Village
"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 the 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 originally some kind of beasts, or some kind of equipment, etc. What are the demon kings you are talking about?"
"The Demon King is an individual."
"People? Are you referring to us?"
"Forgive me for offending, are you a human race?" the old man looked at me in surprise and asked.
I was stunned by the question, and then I realized that in the game, I am indeed not a human race, and even in reality. However, this demon king is actually a human race, which is a strange story in the world.
"How could the King of the Demon Clan be a human?"
"Actually, it's not entirely human." The old man said: "The Demon King was once a human, but later something happened and turned into a half-human and half-demon state. But some of him are still humans, but he has become a 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 demon king now. But this is what I heard of, and I am not sure if it is true. Also, the demon king has a strange personality, sometimes very kind, and sometimes very evil."
"Do you know what his combat power is?"
"Don't joke about me! If I had seen the demon king take action, I would have died long ago. How could I still talk to you here?"
I nodded to agree with the old man's words. Then I said, "Okay, call your people and take us back. I want to meet your General Qiman."
"this……!"
As soon as the old man said something, he saw Zhenhong walking over and gently lifting up a bullock cart, and then immediately surrendered.
Although our strength is greatly limited in this buff mission, the power attribute of Zhenhong is there after all. Even if it is suppressed, it is still stress-free if it is turned off.
The scared old man quickly began to appoint the other people who were scared to return to the team, but the effect was very bad. Except for some people who returned to the team after being shouted by the old man, most of them were still limp and there was no place to move. Some people even had a situation where they howled and ran away immediately after being awakened.
Of course we wouldn't be polite to those guys who tried to escape. However, we were not the devil who was murdering. It was not that we didn't dare to kill NPC, but because we were afraid of affecting the follow-up mission, we just caught these people and threw them back into the team. We didn't really kill people. However, because some of the guys were so "brave". In the end, we had to use some cruel methods.
Speaking of these "brave" guys, I can only say that I can't understand their behavior at all. These guys were one of the people who fainted from scare before, and then they started running out of the team after being woken up. Of course, they were also intercepted like others. Several of them were thrown back into the team, but they would get up and continue running. The gold coins they forced had to waste their magic power and start to control the flying sword to stop these guys, and also cut off one of the guys' arms. In this case, it is said that those guys who escaped because of fear should stop because of fear. However, the fact is that these guys not only did not stop, but ran faster.
After those guys accelerated, the gold coins began to arrange a wall in front of them that looked like a meat grinder. The walls were all made up of the sword blades of the flying sword, and the effect was even more exaggerated than the wire mesh. As long as anyone rushed up, they would be immediately swayed by the constantly rotating flying sword roller. However, because the flying sword roller did not move, there would be no problem as long as those people didn't hit them up by themselves, after all, the roller would not chase people.
However, this is one of the reasons why I say that those guys are "brave" and unreasonable. They were obviously scared to escape, which means they should be relatively timid. However, if they are timid, these guys rushed into the inside of the roller with the rotating roller.
Because I was not planning to really kill these NPCs, the gap in the middle of the flying sword roller set up by the gold coins was actually much larger than what it looked like. Although Lingchi would enter, it would not really cut you into the same way as pickled cabbage and fish fillets. At most, it would be a terrible thing to scrape a layer of meat. However, even if it was just scraping a layer of meat, it would be a very terrible thing. Human self-protection instinct should prevent people from hitting up, but these guys just hit it directly and rushed into the inside of the roller. In this process, these guys seemed to have been polished with sandpaper. The skin on their bodies was almost completely scraped off, and the whole person turned into a blood-red and blood-red color. The terrifying look was even more scary than the real skeleton. After all, the snow-white bones of the skeletons looked not very scary. This situation where there was only flesh but no skin was really super terrifying.
Because of the tragic situation of being Lingchi, even I felt my whole body hurt when I saw it, but these guys rushed in. How brave do you have to do such a thing? But if you say they are brave, their purpose of rushing in is to escape, which really makes me speechless. If you are so brave, there is no need to rush into this kind of thing and die, right?
Although we can't understand the behavior of these guys at all, we can't really kill these guys, so in the end we just hung these guys directly on the ox cart to show their opinions. Anyway, these guys looked miserable, but they were actually not seriously injured. The pain must be very painful, but it's not that easy to die.
With these anti-second textbooks in place, the rest of the people became much more obedient, so the old man quickly reorganized the team, and even some of the people who had run away before came back.
The team that was completed began to walk back along the route when they came, and the speed was much faster than before. When they came, they carried the bride to the territory of the demon king, and for humans, they would instinctively resist and not want to go to that kind of place, so naturally the speed slowed down unconsciously. As for now... Following us four big demon kings, these people of course wanted to fly back and get rid of it immediately.
