Chapter 1 Survival

Next Chapter

The huge body of the demon beast trembled, as if it was showing signs of awakening. Li Bochen immediately struck the hilt of the sword again, causing the blade to pierce deeper into the beast's heart, so the demon beast did not move.

But its body is still warm and in a near-death state. It was with this kind of heat that he was able to survive three days and nights in the blizzard of the northern plains, hiding in the belly of the demon beast. But now, he had to think of something else.

Looking out through the slit in the belly, you can see that the entire field is covered in snow. Below the snow surface were the corpses of countless sergeants and monsters who had died in the battle that had begun seven days earlier, most of them in tatters. But the vitality of demon beasts is far more tenacious than that of humans. Some of the badly injured monsters continue to repair themselves by devouring the corpses of their companions or humans, regaining their feet and wandering the wasteland.

Li Bochen originally wanted to wait for them to disperse before getting out, but since yesterday, there have been second-order demon beasts that have taken the role of low-level commanders and have been evacuating through this wasteland to the rear. This may mean that the attack of the demon beasts was blocked in the area of Infinite City, but it was bad news for Li Bochen - under the will of the retreating second-order demon beasts, the wandering low-level demon beasts did not slowly disperse, but stayed on this plain to "stand by".

And Li Bochen's problem was that when he killed the sixth demon beast three days ago, his legs were bitten off. When he woke up from his coma, he found that there was no one living on the snowfield, only a swollen head demon the size of an elephant that was dying.

He slipped open its belly and crawled in before it froze completely, renewing his life.

But judging from the current situation, if these demon beasts do not disperse, he will not be able to leave this snowfield. Of course, he could hide in the swollen demon's belly for a few more days, surviving on its body temperature and internal organs. But if something else happens......

At this time, Li Bochen heard a long and low roar like a Qiang giant horn.

He opened the gap in the beast's belly a little wider and looked out. Through the thick blood streaks of blood at the wound, a tall black shadow appeared on the horizon in the distance. It looked like a child's ink graffiti that had just learned to draw, with long and slender hands and feet, but Li Bochen knew that it was nearly ten meters tall. It is roaring, conveying its will across the vast snowy fields.

Li Bochen realized that "another situation" had occurred, which he feared.

It's a third-order demon beast.

The first time he had seen it with his own eyes, he had only heard of it before. But now the things I've heard about are happening one by one - where the third-order demon beasts have passed, the snow field is boiling. Under the snow, the corpses of humans and monsters bounced up spasmodically, and then fused. The two races that were hostile before death formed a new body in harmony at this time, this body was immortal and incorruptible, and it would fall apart unless this third-order demon beast of theirs was driven by their will to die.

Those things are called zombie golems, and each end can grow to be more than 30 meters long and more than 20 meters high.

The dying swollen-headed demon that Li Bochen was hiding felt the will of the third-order demon beast in the distance, so his body trembled violently, and his heart beat rapidly. The short sword he had pierced into it was squeezed out by the muscles, and the stinking blood of the demon beast spurted all over him. What's worse is that the wound that was cut open in the abdomen also began to heal, and the dense granulations wriggled like maggots.

Now he has two options.

Roll out of the swollen head demon's belly, hide in the snow and hold out until they are far away, and then drag these legs to climb dozens of miles in the weather twenty degrees below freezing before freezing to death, and return to the immeasurable city of unknown people.

Or...... Stay here and wait for the wounds of this swollen-headed demon to heal completely under the influence of the will of the third-order demon beast. In the process, Li Bochen's own injuries may also be improved. Because he'd heard another thing before: someone had grown up with a monster. These beasts are known to be extremely vigorous, and can grow not only fragments of gravel, earth, and steel into their bodies, but even fragments of corpses.

The lower half of the man's body was originally gnawed by the demon beasts on the battlefield to the bones, but after being wrapped in the wounds of the demon beasts, he actually came back to life in the body of the demon beasts. Of course, the man was found as a corpse, but Li Bochen thought that this might be his only chance of life—if his legs could really heal from the flesh and blood of the demon beast, he would have many ways to escape.

At this time, the third-order demon beast was getting closer and closer, and the zombie puppet army behind it was slowly taking shape, covering the horizon. Other monsters, like the swollen-headed beast he was hiding now, were too badly injured to move, but also healed themselves quickly and stimulated their last life force under the intervention of its powerful willpower.

They held the moon in the middle of the huge humanoid arch, and the roar and noise were earth-shattering.

The swollen-headed beast struggled to its feet, and was squeezed into the inner circle by the beast tide, almost sticking to the feet of the third-order demon beast. It screams in pain from a foreign object in its belly, but its voice is muffled. The wound in its abdomen was completely healed, and its internal organs pressed heavily on Li Bochen's body, and he used his short sword to make a small cut in the side of his stomach before he could breathe. At the same time, he could feel the itching of his legs, which were almost boneless, as if countless tiny flesh buds were burrowing into his bone marrow.

Healing begins. He gritted his teeth and thought about how to get out of it if it really worked.

Just then, he saw two people.

There was a distance of two or three steps between the swollen-headed beast and the third-order demon beast that Li Bochen was in, and there was a circle of open space in the middle. This is because of the will of the superior deterrence, and all low-level demon beasts feel instinctive fear.

In this clearing, a man and a woman were riding on a small camel monster, their heads bowed in the snowstorm...... Looks like he's still alive.

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, and began to wonder if there was a precedent for a demon beast to capture a human being as a captive.

The answer is no.

Demon beasts are brutal by nature, and the largest number of first-order demon beasts are only driven by instinct and the will of high-level demon beasts. And although the demon beasts above the second order have wisdom, their cruelty is also magnified by their wisdom. In the thousand-year-long struggle with the Six Kingdoms of the Son of Heaven, the demon beast never left a mouth alive.

So, what's going on with these two guys?

Li Bochen endured the tingling pain and itching on his legs, squinted his eyes, and tried to see the man and woman clearly. The wind and snow were very strong, and they were separated by two or three meters, and the faces of the two people were a little blurred. However, it can be seen that they are wearing strong suits, not wearing big clothes or anything like that. The pants worn by the two of them were the same color, and they were the same as the camel demon beast under the seat......

No, damn it, that's not pants! Li Bochen's eyes widened, the man and the woman were "growing" on the back of that camel monster!!

Same with him now!!

At this moment, the man sitting in the back turned his face and looked around as if unconsciously.

Li Bochen immediately recognized him. At this moment, he realized that if he could survive, then he might not need to live this kind of bloody life in the future.

The premise is that he can kill the man, or save the man.
