Chapter 186: Threat
"Very bold humans, hehe, I like ...... very much" The cold voice echoed through the empty floor, sending out a faint echo. The person who spoke seemed to be laughing, but there was not a hint of a smile in his tone, "You came to me with all your might, I guess you want to try to defeat me and get out of here, right?" Very well, I can fulfill your wishes right now. After all, it's rare to think of such high-quality food as you now, and I've decided that you're my main course on my luxurious menu tonight! ”
Shen Hao moved his neck, his body was still standing, but his eyes were cautiously looking around, but the technique of the demon transmission was also subtle, although it seemed to be in the ear, but after listening carefully, it seemed to be coming from all directions, and it was impossible to confirm the other party's location from the sound alone.
"You know what? A perfect dinner should at least be divided into appetizers, nutritious main courses, and dessert after meals...... Truth be told, tonight's appetizers were really much more hearty than I expected, and I'd even be willing to have them make my main course without your presence. However, your appearance immediately refreshed my menu, tsk, even from such a distance, I can still smell the exuberant vitality in your body, this is a delicacy that I haven't tasted for decades......" The demon's voice was laughing again, but he still couldn't hear the slightest smile, but could feel the other party's extremely hungry appetite for himself, like a big living person washed and flayed into a pack of lions that had been starved for three days and three nights. "Even better, I can feel that there are a few nice creatures in this building, and it looks like you've even got my dessert ready, and as a foodie, I have to say a word of gratitude to you lovely little guys."
"Really? But I don't feel the slightest hint of your gratitude for your hidden behavior now. Shen Hao grinned and let out a sneer, "You have talked so much, is it really me who I said, in fact, you are afraid of me, so you have been avoiding me?" Hmph, it's a pity that this place is not far from the top floor, if you don't have the courage to come out, then let me go find you! After that, Shen Hao had already taken a step in the direction of the stairs, this step seemed simple, but when he landed, there was a dull sound of gold and iron clashing, and the strange atmosphere that had been transmitted by the Demon in all directions was completely destroyed in an instant.
"Hahaha......" The demon was silent for a second, and suddenly burst out laughing, and with its laughter, the ceiling of Shen Hao's floor shook and buzzed in laughter, "Okay, okay, then you can come up, I haven't met such an interesting prey for a long time......"
As its words fell, the trembling ceiling finally cracked slowly, and a large black object squeezed down from the crack, Shen Hao frowned slightly, and cautiously took two steps back.
As the black object slowly peeked out of the crack, the collapse area on the ceiling grew larger, and the black thing just fell vertically towards the ground, like a column of paraffin wax twisted and molten at high temperatures, connecting the upper and lower layers.
The black "paraffin" pillar was still slowly twisting and deforming, and after just a few breaths, it was still gradually solidified into a straight staircase leading to the upper floor.
"Come up, human, and as a sign of respect for your courage, I will bite off my head and chew your soul clean bit by bit." The Nightmare's voice came from far away from the top of the stairs, and this time it didn't use that weird means of transmission, making it easy to pinpoint the direction it came from.
"Hehe, as you wish, as long as your teeth are sharp enough!" Facing this indistinguishable black staircase, Shen Hao almost didn't hesitate, just continued to salute the other party in a mocking tone, and stepped forward.
The black staircase, twisted so badly, looked like freshly solidified wax. However, after Shen Hao stepped on it, he realized that this unknown material was unexpectedly strong, although it could not catch up with the hundred refined steel, but it was no less than the best quality granite.
Just a trace of Nightmare Energy released at random can create a materialized substance with such a solid structure, and the strength of the Nightmare Demon can be seen. Shen Hao was secretly vigilant in his heart, and the speed of climbing up accelerated a little, but he didn't dare to be careless at all when he landed at every step. Fortunately, the Demon may have been very confident in his own strength, so he didn't choose to set any traps on this narrow staircase, and let Shen Hao climb the stairs until he stepped onto the top floor of the building.
This floor has obviously been completely transformed by the Nightmare Demon, and the entire space is extremely empty, but it is also obviously affected by the magic of Xin Su, the floor, walls, and ceiling are covered with frost that emits a ghostly light, and under the light blue fluorescence, it shows Shen Hao a strange scene.
Corpses, countless human corpses piled up together, in this empty room into eighteen corpse mountains of varying heights, and in the center of these corpse mountains, the same countless naked corpses tangled and pushed each other into a high platform of nearly five meters, above the high platform there was an arrogant high-backed throne, and a tall fat man with a bare body was sitting proudly on it.
This fat man is very fat, the fat on his face squeezes his facial features look very small, a white fat body hangs down, and his fat belly even covers most of the shorts he wears under his body. The bare head reflected a greasy sheen under the fluorescent light around it, and the eyes, which were almost a thin slit, reflected a dangerous light from time to time between opening and closing.
Shen Hao took a step forward, just stepping on the arm of a corpse lying in the middle of the road, Shen Hao's weight at the moment plus the huge demon slaying sword weighed no less than a thousand catties. As soon as he stepped out, the corpse's arm made a crunch and shattered.
"No, these corpses ......" The touch coming from his feet was obviously a little wrong, and Shen Hao couldn't help but look down at the corpses on the ground. The arm that had been trampled on by himself had no normal flesh and blood residue at all, but was like a plaster statue, full of powdery debris.
Looking at the corpse again, it was also very strange, the body was completely naked, because of the surrounding light, I hadn't noticed it before, and at this time, it seemed that their skin was not the skin color of normal humans at all, but like those USBMs, showing a dull gray. There was a look of horror on the face, but the facial features were completely distorted together, and there was not a single hair on the surface of the corpse, so it was impossible to even tell its gender if you looked at it from the head.
Shen Hao's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he looked at the other corpses piled up nearby again, and this look was even more creepy. The same skin color, the same expression, even the body shape and general appearance are exactly the same. It doesn't feel like it's a mountain of corpses at all, but a surreal sculpture carved out of gray clay.
"What? Interested in the decoration of my room? The fat man on the throne spoke, and the voice was the body of the Demon Demon who had previously invited Shen Hao to death, and when it grinned, a row of white Sensen's fangs appeared under its fat lips. Unlike normal human teeth, this fat man's teeth were all as sharp as sharp daggers, making his fat face, which originally looked a little silly, suddenly have a hint of horror.
"Actually, these are just the excrement I finished eating, you don't have to worry, you will soon become a part of them......" The demon sneered, stretched out a left hand, and pointed his finger at Shen Hao, and then hooked it provocatively to his side, and said, "Come on, the appetizer just now has whetted my appetite, and I can't help but want to taste what your powerful soul is like." ”
Shen Hao didn't answer its words this time, his toes gently kicked away the strange corpse that was in the way, holding the Demon Slaying Sword in both hands, and walked towards the high platform where the Demon Demon was sitting step by step.
The demon looked at Shen Hao, who was approaching step by step, with a smile, but there was no trace of nervousness, it yawned, leaned back in the chair, squinted its small eyes and looked at each other, and its fingers even tapped on the armrest of the throne a little boringly.
The high platform was also completely formed by the collusion of corpses, and the steps that could be stepped on were actually the arms, shoulders or backs of those corpses, Shen Hao did not rush up rashly as usual, but chose to fight steadily and steadily, step by step.
Because from the moment he saw this fat man, he felt a trace of unease, and from it, he felt an unprecedented threat. This feeling has never been felt even in the interstellar world when facing those peak high-level nightmares from the Nightmare Demon Royal Clan. Horror, ferocity, and that naked greedy gaze locked onto him, bringing an almost suffocating pressure.
"Gurgle, cluck......" Shen Hao stepped up the two steps, and the demon kept staring at him with that slightly mocking look. The five-meter high platform was actually only a few steps away for Shen Hao, but when he just raised his foot and wanted to step on the third step, he suddenly felt an inexplicable move in his heart, and the advance of danger made the pores of his body shrink suddenly.
With a low snort, he stretched out half of his left leg and slammed it back, and at the same time, the Demon Slaying Sword in his hand stabbed down the stairs.
"Poof-" A bloody arrow shot out, and Zhang Yuchang's sword body pierced into a third, and the place where he stabbed writhed violently, obviously there was something alive underground that was nailed by Shen Hao's long sword. However, this underground thing didn't seem to be willing to be controlled by Shen Hao, completely ignoring the wound that the long sword was tearing up on its body, and struggled hard, Shen Hao frowned, kicked the ground suddenly, and jumped out backwards, at the same time, the long sword also brought out a large area of blood from the ground.
"Huh-" With an angry roar, the place where Shen Hao had landed before completely collapsed, and a huge mouthpiece like a mutated worm rushed out of it, biting hard into the air. And the upper edge of that mouthpiece had been torn open by Shen Hao's long sword, a wound more than a meter long, and a large amount of thick plasma splashed everywhere like a fountain.
