Chapter 572: Surprisingly Easy, Incomprehensible Demihumans (1/2)

It was dawn in the Thorns Swamp.

The thin fog had yet to clear and the sun had yet to rise. A group of demihumans gathered around a dead thorny tree and dug for worms. Each time one of them dug out a fat white worm, he would cheer and stuff the worm into his mouth to chew.

The demihumans were never picky about food.

The Woodworms were a delicious breakfast to them. If they found none, they could always make do with some tree bark.

Suddenly, a terrified yell came from nearby, “Run! That humanoid monster is coming!”

The group of demihumans raised their heads and saw the nearby demihumans who were scavenging for breakfast desperately running away.

“What humanoid monster?”

They were still confused until a familiar figure appeared in their sight.

“The humanoid monster that killed the Bone Emperor?”

“Ah!”

They immediately became terrified. They began screaming and running away just like the others.

“They’re really cowards!” Ayrin exclaimed while sitting on the Shoal Lord.

After an entire night of tracking, they finally found a large settlement of demihumans. There were at least two to three thousand demihumans in this area. However, the moment they saw Ayrin, they ran away immediately and did not show any intention to fight at all.

“I think you can’t do anything about them.” Stingham gloated, “Did we come here for you to race against them?”

“Let me try.”

Ayrin did not seem discouraged at all. He shouted towards the desperately running demihumans, “Run if you want! I’m only interested in the fastest one, whoever runs the fastest, I will take him on.”

“What?”

The demihumans trembled.

They began checking on their companions and slowed down.

“Run faster!”

“Why are you slowing down? You can run much faster than me normally!”

“I’m already running very fast, why are you running so slowly?”

The demihumans slowed down and urged their companions to run faster.

Soon, they were crawling like turtles.

“This works?” Stingham was dumbfounded.

Instinct again?

Did he research demihumans for years?

Is he a psychology master who majored in demihumans?

Rinloran and Moss were completely speechless.

“It really worked!”

Ayrin’s eyes beamed.

He immediately shouted towards the crawling demihumans, “Starting from now, whoever is the slowest to get over here, I will kill him!”

The demihumans shivered. However, they hesitated and did not approach Ayrin.

“Looks like the pressure isn’t enough.” Ayrin mumbled to himself. Then, he shouted again, “What? You didn’t hear me? You think you can escape? Stingham, show them your one shot one kill Green Dragon Spear!”

“Throw at that tree, show them what true power is!” Ayrin shouted and pointed at the dead tree the demihumans were digging worms out.

“You want to establish superiority? But why ask me? My aim is terrible!” Stingham immediately shivered like those demihumans.

“It’s fine, just aim and throw.” Ayrin spoke confidently.

“Don’t blame me if I miss.” Stingham shouted and threw his spear.

Boom!

The dead thorny tree was incinerated by a streak of green flames.

“What!?”

Stingham opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

“Haha, I knew you could do it!” Ayrin laughed. Then, he stared at the demihumans who were even more scared, “See that? Are your feet faster than this spear?”

Before the demihumans could act, Stingham shouted in disbelief, “No way! What happened?”

Boom!

He threw his Green Dragon Spear again and accurately hit another thorny tree.

“Another hit?”

Stingham was dumbfounded. He threw again.

Boom!

Yet another thorny tree was burnt to a crisp.

“I actually...... can aim?”

Tears of joy flowed down his face.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Streaks of green flames flew and thorny trees kept getting vaporized.

“Hahahaha...... One throw one strike!”

Stingham’s maniacal laughter rang out, “Hahaha, I’m a genius! I can suddenly aim!”

“This idiot, he actually didn’t know the benefit he gained from the Skeleton Army!” Rinloran saw Stingham’s proud attitude and lamented.

“These people are really devious.”

“They look scary.”

“Are they all humanoid monsters?”

Seeing the power of the Green Dragon Spear and Stingham’s behavior, the demihumans became even more scared. However, they suspected that if they went to Ayrin, even scarier things would happen. So, they were like statues and did not dare to move.

“He’s just throwing at trees now, but next will be at you all! Hurry up, I will accept those who come to me as retainers. If not, you will end up like those trees!” Ayrin demanded.

“Retainers?”

A few demihumans mustered up enough courage to ask, “You’re saying you aren’t here to kill us? You want to lead us?”

“Yes! I will organize you into an army. I will be your leader. All you have to do is obey my orders!” Ayrin proclaimed.

“Really? Such a powerful humanoid monster will become our leader? Become our Boss?”

“With such a powerful humanoid monster Boss, nobody will dare to bully us again!”
