Chapter 1340: Demons Dance (Super Detective Cleared)

After giving the workers a simple treatment, Duanmu Huai asked them to go down the mountain immediately, and asked Sha Jiuye to go down with them. Although Sha Jiuye was also opposed this time, Duanmu Huai insisted. The reason was simple. Although he didn't know what kind of monster was in the cave, considering that the noise made by this guy chasing the group of workers had caused half of the town below to collapse, it must be very large. If he fought it, it would probably be a landslide.

In this situation, Sha Jiuye would be a waste of time if she stayed here, so Duanmu Huai asked her to go back with these workers and remind others that a stronger earthquake might occur soon.

Although Sha Jiuye was somewhat reluctant, she finally nodded and went down the mountain with the workers in the car driven by Teacher Yamahara. As for the radio tower and the first aid kit, Duanmu Huai naturally left them to them.

I can't use it anyway.

"Okay, let's get started."

After confirming that the group had gone down the mountain, Duanmu Huai patted his cheeks, then his eyes turned cold and he walked into the cave.

This is only the first battle, but it seems that he will not encounter any zombies or space ghosts in this battle. Monsters that can cause earthquakes just by moving are rare even for Duanmu Huai.

To put it bluntly, ordinary dragons don't have this ability.

I don’t know who I met this time... but Duanmu Huai is at least sure that it’s not the three most powerful ones.

It should not be.

Walking into the cave, it was indeed pitch black inside. Even the searchlight that Duanmu Huai was carrying seemed to be swallowed up by the dark shadow and became dim.

But fortunately, Duanmu Huai does not need light.

He silently turned off the searchlight and raised his hand. Following Duanmu Huai's action, a deeper layer of darkness surged out of the already extremely dark cave like sea water. They were like waves hitting the beach, smearing and covering the darkness in the cave and sweeping forward.

Silently, as if nothing had happened.

However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai's consciousness had extended forward along with the pouring darkness. He could clearly see everything in the cave, including the thing hidden at the end of the cave.

“Good fellow…”

Although Duanmu Huai was mentally prepared for this, he was still shocked when he actually saw this monster.

How should I describe its appearance? Rather than an octopus, it looks more like a snake. Or, you can imagine a giant python with no eyes and a body as long as a thousand meters, opening its mouth, and then countless thick tentacles pouring out of its mouth - well, that's this monster.

Of course, you can think of it as a giant python with tentacles growing out of its mouth, or a squid with an elongated snake-like head. They're all pretty much the same.

At the same time, information about this monster appeared in front of Duanmu Huai's eyes.

[Xiud.Mel/Drilling Demon Bug (Leader)]

Wow, the BOSS comes right up at the beginning, without even giving any monsters away.

Duanmu Huai's face darkened. He had only heard of the burrowing demon insect race and did not have much impression of it. Strictly speaking, this thing was a monster, not an evil god.

But no matter what, the first battle is a BOSS, and it is a big BOSS———Well, if this were put in a game, the player would encounter the Four Heavenly Kings as soon as he leaves the Novice Village?

What a rubbish game setting.

  Moreover, the body of this burrowing demon worm is extremely huge. Duanmu Huai estimated that it is at least 1,500 meters long. This length is on the same level as a battleship in the Tribunal - how to fight this thing?

Or was this a beating by a human?

It was a pity that Duanmu Huai couldn't use other items, otherwise he would have taken out a power armor and put it on, and then he could have started his favorite visceral incision surgery. But now... Duanmu Huai didn't want to use his own body to try whether he could withstand the solution in this thing.

  In this case, there is nothing left but a showdown between the Old Ones!

Let’s see who wins!

Duanmu Huai determined the direction again, then he stared at the burrowing demon insect...the battle began!

At this moment, the condensed darkness suddenly rushed out and transformed into countless tentacles, attacking the huge body of the burrowing demon insect!

“——————!!!”

  The burrowing demon insect obviously also noticed Duanmu Huai's attack. It opened its mouth wide and its tentacles shot out, accompanied by hot mucus, to meet the attack!

The battle begins!

Countless tentacles pierced the body of the burrowing demon worm like spears, but the squid-like body was surprisingly tough. Even the shadow tentacles that could penetrate steel were like hitting a thick tire when they pierced its shell. Instead of penetrating into it, they slid to the side.

At the same time, the body of the burrowing demon worm began to wriggle, and its huge body easily crushed the ground and the shadows beneath it into powder like crushing wheat. The hot saliva sprayed from its mouth completely melted the stones and tentacles in front of it.

Duanmu Huai’s reaction to this was…

"Fuck, this is so disgusting..."

Standing there, Duanmu Huai looked disgusted. It was the first time that he really used the power of the Old Ones to fight another Old One. Only then did Duanmu Huai understand what a battle between two Old Ones meant. It was not just a battle on the physical level, but also a battle on the spiritual level.

Just like when Duanmu Huai manipulated the shadows to transform into thousands of whiskers to attack the burrowing demon worms, in fact, those shadows were like extensions of Duanmu Huai's body. Logically speaking, even if the opponent could break the black shadows, if it was only physically broken, then it would not hurt Duanmu Huai.

But because the other party was also an old one, when the burrowing demon worm sprayed saliva to corrupt the shadow tentacles, Duanmu Huai felt as if his hand was licked by countless dogs. Not only that, the burrowing demon worm's chanting whisper also echoed in Duanmu Huai's mental network. Similarly, Duanmu Huai also sang to the burrowing demon worm through the Thousand Roars.

It was obvious that both sides were mentally polluting the other side, but no one had broken through yet.

This kind of all-round war from the perspectives of touch, hearing, vision, psychology, and physics was really the first time for Duanmu Huai. After all, in the past, he only needed to consider rushing, not fighting in all directions like now... To be honest, this was really not Duanmu Huai's strong point. Of course, there was another point that was even more important.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

As the burrowing demon worms attacked, the entire cave began to shake violently again, with large chunks of rubble falling from it. Duanmu Huai was somewhat helpless in the face of this scene.

no way.

  Staring at the huge shadow approaching him, Duanmu Huai finally made a decision. If he could use the power of the God of Destruction, it would not be difficult to destroy the burrowing demon worms. However, this was an advanced and enhanced trial of the Old Ones, so naturally only the power of the Old Ones was allowed, so... he had no choice but to fight!

As Duanmu Huai's mind changed, a huge and heavy shadow suddenly emerged from under his feet, directly wrapping Duanmu Huai in it, and then transformed into a weird, twisted, indescribable monster. At the same time, the burrowing demon worm had also drilled out from deep underground. When it saw the Old One transformed by Duanmu Huai, it roared and rushed up!

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

As the burrowing demon worms moved, the ground shook more and more violently, and even the entire mountain was shaking. The people in the town below were in a panic, and most people were screaming and trembling in the school playground, looking around in fear. In their eyes, the scene before them was like the end of the world.

The ground was shaking like waves, houses were overturned, and even if people were standing on solid ground, they felt like they were standing on the rough sea, unable to keep their balance. Some people couldn't suppress their fear and started crying and screaming. For a moment, there were screams and wails all around, as if hell was about to descend on the earth.

"elder brother………"

  Sha Jiuye knelt on the ground, holding on to the railing beside her tightly, and looked at the distant mountain peaks anxiously. She didn't know what happened there, but Sha Jiuye knew that her brother was still there. And now, such a terrible earthquake happened again... Is her brother really okay?

In fact, Duanmu Huai was fine, but he was not sure whether there were any problems with the people in the town.

The reason is simple, because this scene is so hellish.

The burrowing demon worm rushed to the shadow demon transformed by Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai was naturally not to be outdone. The shadow demon that looked like a giant brain waved countless tentacles with eyes and tightly wrapped around the body of the burrowing demon worm. The burrowing demon worm also opened its mouth wide and bit the brain part tightly, while the tentacles in its mouth kept stretching out, as if trying to force its way in.

If someone was here, they would be able to see a giant monster with tentacles covered with eyes and mouths, entangled with a giant squid-like creature as big as a mountain. The latter had tiny root-like tentacles all over its body, and the stinking mucus and strange, indescribable chanting sound merged into one, echoing in the mountains.

Well, no matter who sees this scene, they will definitely go crazy without any explanation.

Fortunately, Duanmu Huai had thought of this before and deliberately led the burrowing demon insect to the other side of the mountain, letting the mountain ridge block his figure from fighting the burrowing demon insect.

Otherwise, if the residents of the town looked up and saw this scene, I think many of them would go crazy.

But now... to be honest, the situation is not much better.

"Damn it, I'm not good at this kind of fighting. What should I do?"

Duanmu Huai was also very depressed at the moment. The opponent was as thick as a piece of taffy, and he had no way of breaking through the defense. On the other hand, the guy's saliva was hotter than magma, and could even easily dissolve his tentacles.

The power of the God of Destruction cannot be used, nor can the power of the God of Joy and the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. Of course, even if you could use them, it would be useless.

This is really troublesome! It would be much easier to fight this guy if he wasn’t so big!

Duanmu Huai cursed in his heart while waving his tentacles again, grabbing the burrowing insect and smashing it to the side.

"roar-----!"

But what Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that when it was smashed to the side, the burrowing demon worm actually let out a painful scream, even drowning out the chant that had been echoing in Duanmu Huai's spiritual network!

  Ok?

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was also refreshed. He looked over and saw that there was a stream flowing where the burrowing demon worm was smashed. Now the burrowing demon worm was in contact with the stream and was gradually decaying!

Is this thing afraid of water?

  That would be easy!

At this moment, the burrowing demon insect seemed to have sensed the coming crisis because of the pain, and decisively turned around and wanted to leave.

  However... Hey, little beauty, where are you running to!

Duanmu Huai laughed grimly, and like a robber who robbed people at night, he grabbed the burrowing demon insect that was trying to escape, and refused to let it go no matter how it struggled. Then Duanmu Huai swept his eyes and soon saw the lake next to the campsite.

"My beauty, how about we take a bath together? Hehehehe!"

Without waiting for the burrowing demon insect to answer, Duanmu Huai grabbed it and rolled it down suddenly. The two huge monsters were entangled with each other, rolling down the hillside like an invincible wind and fire wheel, and all the trees along the way were crushed into pieces. The struggle of the burrowing demon insect also reached its limit at this moment, and then two huge black shadows were seen smashing heavily into the lake!

“Hula——————!!!”

The lake water was smashed and flew up dozens of meters high, and the two monsters were directly submerged in the lake. At the same time, the wail of the burrowing demon worm sounded again, and the lake water kept rolling. The burrowing demon worm desperately stuck its head out and tried to leave the water. However, soon, the surrounding lake water began to roll, and then tentacles emerged from it, wrapped around the burrowing demon worm's body, and pulled it back into the water.

The burrowing demon worm was like a girl desperately trying to escape from the clutches of a demon, but was caught by the demon just as she was about to rush out of the gate. She could only be pulled back in despair to accept her predetermined fate, and slowly disappeared into the depths of the lake. And there was only one fate it was about to face.

"roar-------!!!"

The screams of the burrowing demon insects echoed in the mountains, and even the mountains were shaking, but soon, the sound gradually died down. The boiling and surging lake water also calmed down.

Everything around returned to dead silence again.
