Chapter 188 The New Demon Emperor Niu Hu
Xu Sheng left the abyss to find Jiuying. After finding him, the White-Robed Man would immediately come to inform him that Jiuying was doomed. "Did you sense anything?" Liu Qi asked in the cave outside the city.
They ran all the way here and, after discussing it, decided to come in and see what was going on. Jiang Shaoxu used light magic to illuminate the surroundings.
When magic power is sufficient, this light magic can illuminate a very long distance.
The view is expansive; it's less like a cave and more like the entire mountain has been hollowed out—the area is just too vast.
After traveling a certain distance, the width on both sides reached several hundred meters.
Liu Qi had just sensed something amiss and questioned the others.
Mu Bai shook his head, as did Jiang Shaoxu and President Wu, but Mu Qianjin said, "I sensed it, it sounds like the panting of some kind of creature?"
She was somewhat unsure, but she had definitely heard it, and quite a lot of it.
"I also feel that they are biological telogens, and there are a lot of them," Liu Qi said.
"What should we do? Continue forward or go straight out?" Liu Qi asked. He wasn't alone now. If he were alone, he could go in by himself, but he had teammates, so he should ask for their decision.
"Let's go in. At least we can get some information. Even if it's dangerous, they can't wipe us out instantly. It's too frustrating to have no intelligence at all," said General Manager Wu.
Several people nodded in agreement. They had been completely lost because they lacked intelligence. After Jiang Shaotian disappeared, they had no way of knowing what the mage had done and could only wait.
It's so uncomfortable, and there's not much of a terrifying aura here. The fact that you're panting a lot means that the other party isn't high-level. Even demons can't threaten them.
"Okay, let's go then." Liu Qi walked in front, with President Wu in the second.
Mr. Wu was originally prepared to go first, but Liu Qi insisted on going first, which left Mr. Wu somewhat helpless. However, as a super-level mage, he could concentrate and release magic to provide support at any time, so it was not too difficult.
Mu Bai and Jiang Shaoxu walked in the middle, with Mu Qianjin at the back. Mu Bai was also carrying an ancestral legend on his back. He had been in a coma for so long and showed no signs of waking up.
They couldn't abandon their ancestral traditions, so they had no choice but to obediently carry them on.
Mr. Wu walked behind Liu Qi, never letting his guard down for a moment. Besides dealing with the demons that might appear out of nowhere, Mr. Wu was also observing Liu Qi.
He felt that Liu Qi was well-behaved and didn't seem like a good person, but Jiang Shaoxu seemed to trust him a lot, so he didn't say anything more.
Mr. Wu's ears twitched, and he looked to his left, where a strange creature that resembled neither a cow nor a tiger rushed out.
The cow's head, the tiger's body, and the tail are of unknown creatures. The tiger has a "king" on its forehead, and this creature is good; it has an "emperor" on its head.
"Mr. Wu, this creature is only at the Warrior level. Don't waste your magic energy on these small fry," Mu Bai reminded Mr. Wu as he was about to make a move.
Upon hearing this, General Manager Wu also stopped. As the strongest person here, he had to guard against some potential great dangers. "Ice Lock!" Mu Bai didn't have time to act, so Mu Qianjin released a mid-level ice magic. Huang Niu Hu roared and charged up after seeing the group. He seemed to be unable to bear the sight of living people, just like a demon.
The ice lock danced in the air for a moment, then wrapped around Huang Niu Hu's feet, forcefully tripping him and binding him before he could get up.
The ice chains weren't just for binding; they were covered in spikes that pierced into Huang Niu Hu's body when he was bound, making it virtually impossible for him to break free.
If you struggle, your body will be cut by the sharp spikes and bleed profusely.
It was just a demon at the level of a general, and even that wasn't considered strong among generals. They were all mid-level peak mages, and dealing with a demon was a piece of cake for them.
Not to mention that Mu Qianjin's ice element possesses a spirit seed, a top-grade spirit seed, with three times the power, making it impossible for ordinary warrior-level beings to break free when trapped.
"Why is this thing so strange?" Several people gathered around Huang Niu Hu.
His size was about the same as a normal cow, but he gave off a very different feeling. He seemed quite different from the demons they had encountered before, and they didn't want to call him a demon.
But this guy is indeed a demon.
Huang Niu Hu roared incessantly, but that was all he could do. He couldn't move at all; any movement would cause him excruciating pain from the ice spikes piercing his flesh, leaving him lying motionless on the ground.
"A very strange creature, a demon species I've never seen before." Jiang Shaoxu was somewhat surprised. She had followed Jiang Shaotian in the army for several years and had gained a lot of experience, but she had no idea about this kind of creature.
"There shouldn't be any demons of this type outside, at least I've never seen one before," said Mr. Wu. He was the oldest among them and a super-level mage. He had traveled all over the country for many years and had seen almost all kinds of demons, but he didn't recognize the one underground.
"Is it a demon from our world?" Mu Bai asked. "You mean—" President Wu squinted. It was indeed possible. This ancient tomb wasn't in their world. Even if the outer perimeter of the tomb was there, the inside was most likely not. So, whether this demon was from their magical plane was highly questionable.
What if it's a summoning plane or—the dark plane?
"Could they be demons from the dark plane? After all, the undead are broadly considered to belong to the dark plane, and this ancient tomb is a gathering place for the undead, so it shouldn't be strange to have creatures from the dark plane," Liu Qi analyzed.
"Now that you mention it, it's actually quite possible, a dark dimension."
"So, this is a gathering place for demons from the dark dimension, but these are only at the warrior level, so they probably aren't very strong."
"It's hard to say, it could be a monarch," Mr. Wu said solemnly.
If it's a commander, then there's nothing to fear. No matter how much a commander leaves, General Wu is confident he can wipe them out. But ————— a monarch is different.
Mr. Wu is indeed a Super-Rank Mage, but Super-Rank Mages and Monarch-Level Demons are not on equal footing.
Take the weakest sub-monarch as an example. If the compatibility is good, Wu Zong is confident in destroying it. But if the compatibility is bad or even if it is restrained, it is hard to say.
However, if it were a minor monarch-level figure, General Wu would have to kneel before him, though he hasn't sensed the aura of a monarch yet.
"Let's keep going and see how things go. Even if we leave without Jiang Shaotian, we'll still encounter those creatures coming out. It's just a matter of time before we have to face them," Liu Qi said.
Mr. Wu remained silent for a moment before nodding.
"Kill this demon," said Mr. Wu. Mu Qianjin used the Ice Lock Bone Crusher to kill the demon. As for the corpse, Liu Qi found nothing of value after searching it.
Since they left the house here, they continued walking inside.
