507 The Puzzle Is Finally Solved! (2/2)
”What the, the population growth is actually achieved by way of mitosis? Very well, what about other things besides reproduction? Don't you feel tired? Two thousand years of fighting, wouldn't that be boring? Was it not painful? Were there no war weariness?”
Looking at the demarcation line of the battlefield, thousands of demons disappeared in the darkness, as if they were sent into a meat grinder… Wang Lu really didn't think that anyone could persist in this kind of environment for two thousand years. Even the most warlike of demons, the warriors of Flaming Valley, wanted to vent as much as they like after the war, perhaps by stuffing themselves with food or plowing a woman's body… There was no way to fight continuously, let alone for two thousand years!
Although at the time the royal family of demon race conquered the demon world, as a warrior, they were not better than those of Flaming valley. They would feel afraid, weary, and frustrated. This endless fight was completely unreasonable!
”Ay, why do you, two new arrivals, have so many questions? Have the tribe become such a wussy? If you want to know why, then come with me to experience the battlefield for once!”
With that, out of nowhere, the high level demon fished out two jet black spears.
”Here, take it and then come with me. As long as you experience the cycle of life and death once, you will know why we can persist for two thousand years.”
Then he took the lead and rushed directly to the battlefield.
The strength of that high level demon was equivalent to that of a Xudan Stage cultivator, with a variety of magical ability spells. At this time, however, he was like an ordinary martial art master, purely using his physical strength to charge ahead, and his speed was also disappointing. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed the vast battlefield, and reached the frontline. He then roared loudly and raised his spear into the darkness. And then a roll of dark tide came, which rolled his corpse out of existence.
A soul-stirring, yet ultimately a foolhardy charge.
A moment later, that high level demon came down from the sky and then looked at Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang in puzzlement. ”You two didn't follow me?”
Of course, it was impossible to follow him. These demons had the ability to come back from the dead, but not these two intruders. If they were to be caught by the dark tide, they would die without a burial ground.
However, during their talk, there were many demons around them that turned to look at them curiously.
”Newcomers?”
”It looks more and more strange… What's the matter with people outside now? Have they married with humans?”
”The strength is pretty good, but the guts are not so.”
”Don't be afraid, when you really die once, you will know that the so-called fear and pain are all illusions and will disappear with the cycle of life and death. All you have to do is to keep fighting!”
There were more and more demons who gathered around the two of them. Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang exchanged a look and knew that if they continued to let them look at them, they would definitely expose their flaws. After all, they were new demon race recruits who looked exactly the same as human, which no matter how one looked at it, it would still be abnormal. Only this group of demons that had been fighting for two thousand years so that tumor appeared in their brain would gawk for such a long time without finding any problems with it.
Thereupon, the two men took the bull by the horn. They lifted their long spear high and screamed as they charged forward. Then, when they were about to reach the darkness, Ouyang Shang pulled Wang Lu along with him into the ground using his earth moving technique to escape.
”... We should be safe, right?”
Hiding in the dark underground world, each of them launched their respective method to hold their breath and shield their senses. The strength of the two of them was not particularly high, but they were also confident that they could hide the truth from the brain-damaged demon race warriors above them.
This two thousand years of non-stop battle had long degraded their ability to sense. In addition to bravely charging ahead without fear, their other abilities had gradually died out.
”This dreamland is really interesting.” When the situation had stabilized, Wang Lu opened his mouth and said, ”Using Fenrir as the imaginary enemy in two thousand years of continuous fight… What's the use?”
”This place's Fenrir should have nothing to do with the real Fenrir.” Ouyang Shang speculated, ”I think it's just a temptation guise. This bloody battle is more like a collection ceremony, but what does the demon king want to collect through it?”
Wang Lu said, ”It should be negative emotions… In a sense, this demon spirit dream is exactly the same as the new demon world. The demons of the new demon world are deprived of their hatred, while the warriors of demon spirit dream are deprived of pain, dispiritedness, tiredness, and so on, becoming a more simple creature. But these emotions could not completely disappear. They are simply collected to make a weapon that can determine the universe…”
”The black tide?” Ouyang Shang, after all, did not go to the demon world and the new demon world, so his reaction was not as fast as Wang Lu. However, once he was reminded, he quickly found the right direction.
”For the most part, yes. In this way, it's connected to the known historical line. The black tide of the Savage Land is not from the weak desert tribe, nor the monster wolf Fenrir, but this demon spirit dream.”
”So, the next step is to find a way to destroy this dreamland? But on the scale of this dream… Is there any way for you to do it?”
Wang Lu let out a laugh...
”Coincidentally, there is.”
