Chapter 60: Differentiation and Cannibalization
After Zhuang Yichen eliminated three Sinking Demon Squads one after another, a total of twenty-one ordinary Sinking Demons, the Sinking Magician who was lying down and sleeping finally felt that the matter was serious. After all, there were only a hundred Sinking Demons in the entire camp, and the three foraging teams were equivalent to one-fifth of the entire camp's total strength.
Seeing that the foraging team was delayed, the camp soon sent a reinforced team out.
Zhuang Yichen looked at this strengthened team, counted them carefully in the distance, and couldn't help but be speechless.
This time, in order to have dinner, the Sinking Demon Camp can be regarded as a bloody investment. The ordinary Sinking Demons sent out more than twenty at once, and even the Elite Sinking Demons sent five, and at this time, the equivalent of a quarter of the strength of the entire camp was all dispatched, and they crowded together and poured out of the camp in a chaotic manner.
Zhuang Yichen still quietly followed, because this time the team was many times larger than before, Zhuang Yichen had been following them, and he was ready to start when he reached a place that was a long distance away from the Sinking Demon Camp.
At this time, the Fallen Demons also seemed to have reached their destination, and they saw that they were familiar with the road and began to hunt on a desolate small dirt bag. And the way and object they hunt also made Zhuang Yichen drunk.
Those little dirt bags are all burrows dug by mutated rats after the end of the world. And the hunting operation of the Sinking Demon is to catch mice.
I saw a very experienced demon who took out the big stick in his hand, and then hit the ground above the cave entrance one by one. A regular, dull sound that travels farther and clearer in a solid medium.
The mutated rats are not only much larger in size, but also have more sensitive senses. Soon, they couldn't stand the harassment and began to run frantically out of the ground. The other Fallen Demons, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed forward to catch the fleeing rats in all directions.
Zhuang Yichen looked at it with interest for a while, and then released the elite ghoul skeleton to harvest, in the face of these scum who can only bully ordinary humans and catch rats for a living, Zhuang Yichen's skeleton brother is directly one-sided. After killing four or five Fallen Demons one after another, one of the most powerful elite Fallen Demons among them roared, gathering all the scattered Fallen Demons around it.
Oh? It's going to be this one! Seeing this scene, Zhuang Yichen, who had been watching all the time, couldn't help but be surprised. Then he came out of the small dirt pit where he was hiding.
Because he thought of a spell he hadn't used since he learned it, the corpse blast technique. This spell will definitely work against the Sinking Demons who gather together like this!
Zhuang Yichen ordered the elite ghoul skeleton to rush into the sinking demon pile and cut his throat to kill one. Then let it run away quickly, and start using its magic to prepare for magic.
Soon, a little magic seed flew into the corpse of the dead Sinking Demon under the traction of his spiritual power, and in an instant, all the flesh and blood essence in the Sinking Demon's body frantically poured into its magic crystal. The chaotic and chaotic energy easily broke through its core.
"Bang~!" A dull explosion sounded, and the flesh and blood splashed directly blew up its body with four Sinking Demons missing arms and legs.
Witnessing the power of the corpse explosion technique, which could severely damage three or four Sinking Demons in an instant, Zhuang Yichen suddenly became excited.
After the successive destruction of the corpse explosion technique and the elite ghoul skeleton, there were only a few remaining Sinking Demons, and the two Elite Sinking Demons among them became even more violent. At this time, Zhuang Yichen had already walked out of the hiding bunker, and the two elite Sinking Demons saw that Zhuang Yichen, who performed the corpse explosion technique, was the ultimate culprit, so they immediately rushed towards Zhuang Yichen.
Zhuang Yichen stepped back unhurriedly, and at the same time released a demonic tentacle, on the way to the sinking demons. With his current strength, the coverage of the demonic tentacles is naturally not the same as when he first learned it.
On the smoky yellow earth, a large shadow of the demon's hand appeared out of thin air, because Zhuang Yichen needed to expand the range of the demon's tentacles as much as possible, so the control ability of the magic was greatly reduced.
The angry Fallen Demons rushed straight over, without exception, all of them stepping into the trap of the demon's tentacles. The charging group of Sinking Demons was forcibly stopped in an instant, although the control time was very short, only after two or three seconds, the demonic tentacles all over the ground could not withstand the huge force of the Sinking Demons' charge, and shattered into a blood-red point of light in the sky, and once again turned into a dark element, slowly dissipating between heaven and earth.
However, for Zhuang Yichen, just these two or three seconds are enough!
The momentum of the Sinking Demons' rush was suddenly stopped, and the huge inertia instantly caused them to turn on their backs and become one piece. Taking advantage of this chaotic situation, in the blood-colored points of light in the sky where the demon's tentacles shattered, the elite ghoul skeleton suddenly cut into the battlefield and easily slit the throat of an elite sinking demon in the chaos.
With a single blow, the ghoul skeleton retreated. And the corpse, which was still spraying blood, began to squirm and swell strangely.
"Bang~!" Under the guidance of Zhuang Yichen's corpse explosion technique, the corpse of the Elite Sinking Demon absorbed all the flesh and blood essence and exploded!
The furious magical elements swept across the battlefield in an instant, and even a small blank space was cleared in the center of the explosion. The blood-colored light that was slowly dissipating lit up for a moment under the impact of the furious elements, and then it burned out even more quickly.
All of this happened in a matter of seconds, and the whole battle ended with a bloody light in the sky.
The huge power of the explosion directly blasted the nearest elite Sinking Demon into a blurred mass of flesh and blood, and the rest, those ordinary Sinking Demons who were still breathing, were not to worry. Zhuang Yichen just ordered the elite ghouls to do the final harvest and then ignored it.
He quietly reminisced about the battle just now, and the sense of rhythm that controlled everything was simply intoxicating. Between the blood and the killing, some of the things that were hidden in the deepest part of his heart were slowly being released, like a devil crawling out of hell, making him tremble with excitement.
Zhuang Yichen took a deep breath, suppressed the dangerous emotions in his heart, and then went to clean up the battlefield. An elite Sinking Demon's magic crystal, more than a dozen ordinary Sinking Demon Magic Crystals, all of them are seriously malnourished, and their appearance is very scummy, Zhuang Yichen casually glanced at it and threw it into the storage space.
Originally, those mutant rats that were fleeing in all directions, after Zhuang Yichen and the Sinking Demons fought, they hid in their caves deep underground. After cleaning the battlefield, Zhuang Yichen curiously began to observe the burrows of the rats.
The entrance of each mutant rat was the size of a human skull, and the bottom of the cave was bottomless, zigzag into the underground kingdom deep in the earth. Because of the destruction of these mutant rats, the plants on this large area of soil have eaten away from the root system and died, and countless large and small soil bags have stretched out on the bare yellow earth. Zhuang Yichen looked at it, and the land within a radius of one mile was all bare loess.
These giant mutant rats, like hares roaming the vast grasslands of Australia, wreak havoc on the surrounding environment. Of course, these mutant rats, which can eat almost anything and survive anywhere, are far more ferocious and destructive than those docile hares.
The Hungry Demons hunt mutated rats for food, and perhaps more powerful monsters from unknown sources capture the Demons for food. The new food chain food web in this world is slowly being reconstructed, and the law of the world is still the law of the jungle, and this time, human beings can no longer transcend other creatures and become absolute masters.
After looking around at the barren land again, Zhuang Yichen turned around and left. The annihilation of this wave of the Sinking Demon Squad will definitely make the entire Sinking Demon Camp break their bones. Returning to the outside of the Sinking Demon Camp, Zhuang Yichen was still hiding in the old place, patiently waiting for the action in the camp.
About two hours have passed, and the enhanced foraging team has still not returned. Zhuang Yichen saw from a distance that there was a commotion in the Sinking Demon Camp, so he completely closed the camp and strengthened the patrol, looking on full vigilance.
He looked at it for a while, and knew that tonight, even if the whole camp was starving, the Fallen Mage would no longer send out a team to forage for food. The successive losses have made this small camp unsustainable.
Zhuang Yichen returned to the temporary residence he had prepared before. The matter of the Sinking Demon Camp still has to be considered in the long run, and it has been tossed for so long, and it is already dusk at this time.
There are no particularly tall buildings on the outskirts of the city, so the golden sunset pours unhindered on the low bungalows, the flaming brick walls, and the rows of courtyards. Coupled with the loneliness and desolation of no one, it is obviously just a very ordinary urban-rural junction, but it is a little more inexplicably tragic out of thin air.
