Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 291: Chapter 81: Kids, it’s dinner time! (For the Alliance Hierarch, an additional 50,000 award for waiting patiently 5/5)_1

Looking at the bizarrely shaped demon spawn beside him and the overwhelming horde of Balu Monsters below, the Soot Skin Demon Fiend’s heart tightened. No creature understood the terror of these Balu Monsters better than the Demon Tribe itself. Watching the Balu Monsters still emerging endlessly from behind, the Soot Skin Demon Fiend said, trembling, ”Master... these troops... should be enough...”

The demon spawn glanced strangely at the Soot Skin Demon Fiend and let out a series of piercing cackles. ”How could this possibly be enough? I have at least a hundred times more of these little darlings, and they’re starving!”

Accompanied by the piercing cackles and the constant gurgling sounds of the surrounding Balu Monsters, the entire Demon City was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.

「Until...」

A small squad of Soot Skin Demon Fiends surged out from the Demon Realm’s Gate. Before these cannon fodder had a chance to observe what this world even looked like, countless slimy tongues instantly wrapped around them! Then, with a SWOOSH, this group of Soot Skin Demon Fiends disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye!

Then, an even more terrifying scene unfolded. A Level 2 Balu Monster that had just devoured a Soot Skin Demon Fiend suddenly began to swell. It was as if a large tumor was growing, a huge fleshy mass bulging from its side. Then, amidst the Balu Monster’s cries, the fleshy mass burst open! From the body of this Level 2 Balu Monster, a smaller, Level 1 Balu Monster emerged!

This was the Balu Monsters’ method of reproduction! With just one Balu Monster and sufficient food, it could multiply into a terrifying army in a remarkably short time! The Soot Skin Demon Fiend watched the Balu Monsters’ reproductive method and couldn’t help but swallow hard. This terrifying race, despite lacking any true powerhouses or formidable skills, could become a dominant force within the Demon Tribe solely due to its grotesque reproductive method and speed!

Beside him, the demon spawn burst into wild laughter. ”Little darling... now there’s one more!”

「...」

Wen Yu and Kuangliu, who were outside the Demon City, naturally witnessed everything unfolding within. On the drone feed, they watched as a Blood Beast, one of Star’s kind, was ensnared by countless slimy tongues. It was being torn and bitten relentlessly, like a large catfish on a cutting board. Wen Yu felt goosebumps erupt all over his skin. Even Star, beside him, gulped.

Wen Yu’s immediate thought was, We can’t fucking fight this! Retreat! The reasoning was simple: if the Blood Beast could be immobilized, Star definitely couldn’t escape either. Although Wen Yu could retrieve Star using the power of the Soul Realm, the unpredictability was too great. Besides, Wen Yu wouldn’t be able to focus on anything else. Without Star, Wen Yu, Cyclops, Faceless, and Kuangliu combined would stand no chance of making a significant impact.

Wen Yu quickly recalled Cyclops and Faceless, leaped onto Star’s back, and pulled Kuangliu up with him. Then, Star flapped its wings and soared high into the sky. Star also sensed that staying to fight these giant lizard-like creatures to the death was not a wise decision.

「...」

The demon spawn in the Demon City naturally saw Star’s distant movements. After a moment of contemplation, the demon spawn spoke slowly, ”Is that the powerful expert from this world you mentioned?”

The Soot Skin Demon Fiend nodded.

”Let’s go. We’ll leave the city. I smell the aroma of food outside...”

Hearing this, the Soot Skin Demon Fiend shivered. The so-called food, he thought, is undoubtedly the Demon Fiends slaughtered outside the city.

At the demon spawn’s command, the Balu Monster army mobilized instantly! Observing the orderly advance of the Balu Monsters, it was hard to believe they were merely simple-minded, brainless creatures. The demon spawn, riding a massive Balu Monster, led the way out of the city. Gazing at the somewhat desiccated Demon Beast Corpses littering the ground, the corner of its mouth curled up slightly. ”Without the juices... the flavor is far inferior!”
