The army raised their arms and shouted. Then they followed Ji Fengyan into the tunnel leading to the final battle.
However…
Before they left, they did not notice that opposite to the collapsed tunnel where they were digging, a large breach had suddenly opened up. Trickles of fresh blood flowed to the broken tunnel and extended into its depths.
1On the other side, Situ Ba and Zhan Fei led the Green Nightmare Army, killing the demons in their way so they could finally enter the depths of the demons’ nest.
A spacious underground world suddenly spread before their eyes. Thick, dark purple vines intertwined like decaying vine trees, joined the top and bottom of the cave. The dense growth of dark purple vines supported this hidden underground world. All they could see was a dim, endless expanse. It was much bigger than anyone expected.
“This place… is so big?” Zhan Fei looked at the scene before him in shock. If he had not seen it for himself, he would have found it hard to imagine the demons would actually clear such a spacious underground world beneath the Plain of Corpses.
A dense demon aura saturated the environment. Zhan Fei frowned involuntarily as he looked at the strange vine trees around them.
“What are these things?” Zhan Fei had never seen such a peculiar vine tree. He subconsciously tried to touch a vine that was near him.
However, just as he extended his hand, a sharp sword appeared between his finger and the vine.
“Don’t touch.” Situ Ba looked at Zhan Fei coldly. The heavy sword in his hand pushed away Zhan Fei’s restless hand.
Zhan Fei was taken aback and looked at Situ Ba questioningly.
Situ Ba swept a glance at him and laughed coldly before saying, “These are demon vines. It is a special plant belonging to the Demon Clan. Legend has it that every one of these demon vines needs to be fertilized by the bones and blood of a hundred demons before it will grow. These things have a large amount of demon aura. If an ordinary person touches them, the demon aura might swallow them and they become a monster that is half man and half demon.”
Zhan Fei’s eyes immediately widened and he hurriedly withdrew his hand. He carefully said, “What if a Terminator touches it?”
Situ Ba sheathed his heavy sword and laughed coldly. “You will become food for the demons.”
Zhan Fei was terrified.
The Terminators were the natural enemies of the demons. However, in a sense, they were also the most delectable food for the demons. Legend had it that demons who had tasted Terminator flesh would not only gain immense power, they would never forget the delectable taste for the rest of their lives. They would spend their lives hunting down Terminators to fulfill their every burgeoning appetites.
“General Situ, thank you for your reminder.” Zhan Fei secretly gulped. He had never even heard about these demon vines.
All the soldiers of Green Nightmare Army went round the demon vines and advanced. After walking for sometime, their nostrils were filled with the thick scent of demon aura. However, Zhan Fei realized that there was something amiss.
“General Situ, why aren’t there any demons? This is supposed to be the demons’ nest right? But… why is it that we have yet to encounter a single demon?” Zhan Fei carefully looked at Situ Ba. They had earlier been attacked many times by the demons, but when they really entered the center of the demons’ nest, they had not seen hide nor hair of the demons.
“That brat Ji Fengyan was lying. How could there be a million demons in the Plain of Corpses?” When Zhan Fei remembered Ji Fengyan’s ‘alarming’ news, he could not help but think it was funny.
