Chapter 185 The Demonic Monster Army (1/2)

The sound of crunching violated Darren's ears. It was like a hundred bricks crumbling to dust.

The shadow stared at Darren with evil in its eyes. It wore a ghastly smile while chewing the man's fingers.

Darren was shocked at the horrifying scene. This creature's power was so formidable that it had easily crushed the overmatch at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm. Looking at its unearthly and strangely patterned face, Darren was sure that it was a demonic monster. Judging by its human-like figure, he thought it was at least at the sixth level.

A level six demonic monster could rival a human cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm.

”Hey, you little ones, what species are you?” the demonic monster asked in human language, much to their surprise.

At present, both Darren and Bruce were in the transformation state. Bruce became a giant ape and Darren a creature with a black carapace and sharp spines on the back.

They looked at each other. 'He must have mistaken us as demonic monsters!' Darren was grateful that it didn't see the truth. If it knew they were human, they would be in big trouble.

The demonic monster was too strong for them. If challenged, their chance to escape was very slim. Just like the bandit it had eaten just now, they wouldn't end well, either.

Darren responded to the demonic monster carefully, ”My Lord, he is the seed of the ape and I am the seed of the ox.” Darren made up his answer on the spot because his appearance may look something like the five level demonic monster he killed before. He thought that it would be believable.

'Crap!' Darren knew he had made a mistake. Darren's skin crawled with the weight of the predicament. It was a fact that a common demonic monster couldn't exist in a human-like figure or talk in human language. His utterance had very likely exposed them.

”My Lord, I was captured by humans once when I was young, and I learned their language at that time.” In a split second, he reacted fast and seemed to have set the story straight.

The demonic monster looked at him in confusion. ”Humph! I presume what you said is true. However, I can clearly see him being the seed of the ape, but how could you be the seed of the ox? No sharp black spines appear on their backs!”

'Has it seen through us?' Darren couldn't calm his nerves. While he kept the conversation going, he started to warm up the demon core and the sword core in his belly to prepare for the desperate fight, should it come to that. Ev
