Chapter 200 The Fearful Demon King
Chapter 200 The Fearful Demon King
"You don't look very well, do you?"
Ash appeared in front of Liuxin Snail and said in a teasing tone.
Liuxin Snail opened his eyes, looked at the black-faced and black-clothed man in front of him, and said hesitantly: "Are you the Homo sapiens who was wearing that weird-looking boat in the dream world?"
"It's me." Ash nodded, "I didn't expect you to remember it."
"After all, your mind fluctuations are indeed somewhat special." Liuxin Snail said, "Why did you find me this time?"
"Originally, I was looking for a guy called the Dreadlord." Ash looked the Flowing Snail up and down, "But it looks like you are the Dreadlord."
The Liuxin Snail wiggled its tentacles and said, "That's a title you gave me on your own. I never thought of myself as a demon king."
"But in fact, you are the devil." Ash sat down on the ground. After seeing the Liuxin snail, he had no intention of killing it.
He doesn't lack its energy. On the contrary, it would be nice to be able to recruit it.
After all, anyone who becomes a demon king is guaranteed to be a demigod.
"So you are here to kill me?" asked the Liuxin Snail.
Ash shook his head. "Originally, it was, but not now. I originally thought that a tyrannical monster called the Dreadlord would be fine if killed. But after seeing this world, I changed my mind. I don't think you would do evil everywhere, so how could you get the title of Dreadlord?"
"This has something to do with you." said Liuxin Snail.
"Me?" Ash said in surprise, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Didn't you say that if I became more ferocious, fewer people would come to cause trouble?" Liu Xin Snail said, "So I kept becoming more ferocious, causing people to feel scared when they saw me."
"It seems that because of this, I am called the Lord of Dread by you."
"I think I said something similar." Ash scratched his chin with his fingers, "But looking at you like this, you don't look scary."
The snail didn't say anything, but its body began to swell. Its snow-white skin turned dark red visibly and grew layers of scales.
What finally appeared in front of Ash was a gigantic demon that was ten meters tall. Its upper body was human-like, but covered with dark lines, which made people shudder at the sight of it.
There are eyes wandering among the lines. When all those eyes stare at one person, the pressure they create is enough to scare a person to death.
There is only a huge mouth and a huge eye on its face, which looks extremely weird. Ten dark red devil horns grow like spiders behind its head, adding a touch of terrifying power.
The lower body is a snail-like gastropod, but it is covered with all kinds of thorns, making it look extremely hideous.
"This appearance is barely worthy of the title of Demon King."
Ash commented.
The appearance is secondary. After all, Ash has seen many hideous and strange things in the dream world, and has seen dream beasts that are more terrifying than this one.
The most important thing is temperament. The Liuxin Snail is good at mental magic, and this advantage should be perfectly integrated into its body.
The moment it showed this appearance, Ash felt layer upon layer of mental shocks coming at him, trying to make him feel fear.
This is the roughest and most unsolvable aura of fear formed by the combination of mental power and temperament. Anyone who faces the appearance of the Liuxin Snail must fight with the gradually increasing fear.
"But I didn't expect that you have not been killed by blood disease after fusing so many bloodlines." Ash said, "Is it because of your unique skills?" Just from the Liuxin Snail, Ash saw many characteristics of demon species, from ordinary inferior demons to golden red flame demons.
"Yes." The Slug Snail nodded and shrank back to its original harmless appearance.
Ash nodded and changed the subject: "Then how did the Adventurer's Guild target you? From what I can see of your personality, you don't seem like someone who would go on a killing spree."
From the adventurers around him, Ash initially learned that the local Adventurer's Guild was quite stingy and the rewards were less than those of his peers.
If it weren’t for the rich resources of the Green Abyss Forest, it would have been extinct long ago.
But the price offered this time was so high that the adventurers were very surprised.
According to normal thinking, the Dreadlord must have posed a huge threat to the Adventurer's Guild, so they wanted to eradicate the Dreadlord at all costs.
This is why Ash suddenly asked this question.
"Hmm, no?" The tentacles of the Flowing Heart Snail curved into a question mark. "I haven't killed many people. Why would you Homo sapiens kill me?"
"We didn't kill many, so how many?" Ash asked. The standard for not killing many is very high. When ordinary people say they didn't kill many, they mean one or two. But when Ash himself said he didn't kill many, it means at least dozens.
"Since I was born, there have been only about one or two hundred of them." Liu Xin Snail said, and then added, "I killed them because they wanted to kill me."
"How old are you?" Ash asked.
The Liuxin Snail shook its tentacles: "Probably fourteen or fifteen. I don't really pay attention to the time."
"That's true that they didn't kill many." Yaxiu nodded. Only a dozen people died every year, not even a fraction of his number, so it was true that they didn't kill many.
He didn't care about the lives of one or two hundred people. If he wanted to kill others, he had to be prepared to be killed by others. Ash had also realized this a long time ago.
"That's strange. You didn't kill too many people, so there's no need for the Adventurer's Guild to make things difficult for you." Ash scratched his chin with his fingers.
As for the demon king who has not done much evil, wise people have always turned a blind eye. It is human nature to seek good and avoid harm. Who would be willing to risk their lives to provoke a demon king for no reason?
Ash glanced at the world. Was it resources? Not really. After all, the number of these monsters was not a drop in the bucket for the Green Abyss Forest, but it was just the tip of the iceberg, not enough to cause any serious damage.
That's something else special.
Ash looked at the Liuxin Snail and asked, "Have you encountered anything special recently?"
"Something special?" Liuxin Snail thought for a moment, "It seems there is something that is related to you Homo sapiens."
"Tell me about it." Ash said.
Liuxin Snail said: "Isn't there an abyss passage in the Green Abyss Forest? Some of you Homo sapiens wanted to unlock it, but I don't like the Abyss Lord on the other side, so I disrupted their actions."
Unlock the seal of the abyss passage? Ash narrowed his eyes. In terms of the priority of [Sword Dao], he did not feel that Liuxin Snail was lying.
This means that someone really wants to unlock the seal of the abyss passage.
After pondering the meaning, Ash licked his teeth, seemingly expecting a side dish to be available.
