Chapter 44 - My Big Saber Can’t Endure the Thirst Any Longer

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Feng’s group set off.

Under the lead of the two Demonic Guards, ten or so B-rank Earth Demons and more than thirty warriors from various races marched into the depths of the Corpse Soul Ridge.

Chu Feng observed for a moment.

On the surface, there was not a single A-rank warrior among the warriors recruited this time.

Just like the middle-aged male elf, Anderson.

He was also disguised as a B-rank warrior.

In the Abyss, A-rank warriors were not common.

They could be considered the backbone of each faction.

After entering the ninth-stage Spirit Transformation, they could be considered an elite.

They were an A+ rank reserve army.

Every time one of them died, their hearts would ache.

During this period, there were also Earth Demons who came to lecture them.

Chu Feng also knew that the leaders of the Demonic Guards were Demon Six and Demon Nine.

Their strengths were at the second-stage Spirit Transformation and first-stage Spirit Transformation respectively.

There were a total of nine demonic guards by the Third Demonic Son’s side.

They had already lost four people.

However, they were all at the lowest stage of the Spirit Transformation.

Demon Nine was already the last of those at the stage-one Spirit Transformation.

Hence, he had been feeling uneasy during this period of time.

In fact, he did not even have the mood to lecture Chu Feng and the others. Instead, he kept silent and continued on his way.

On the other hand, Demon Six warned them with a cold expression, “If we run into the Nightmare Ingesting Beast King later, all of you need to crush your positioning device and surround the Nightmare Ingesting Beast King. Hold on until the Lord Demonic Son arrives. If anyone flees before the battle, I will personally rip them apart.”

The crowd was silent.

Anyone who was forced to do such a risky thing would not be happy.

They just didn’t have the means to fight back.

Demon Six still wanted to say something.

But Demon Nine, who was beside him, suddenly halted in his tracks. His expression was extremely awful.

“Sixth Brother, can you feel it? It feels like something is approaching us.”

Demon Six’s face paled.

“Is it the Nightmare Ingesting Beast King?!”

“No, that’s not it. I’m afraid we’ve encountered the dangers of the Corpse Soul Ridge itself…”

Demon Nine paused.

“It’s Corpse Souls! And there seems to be quite a few of them. How unlucky!”

Just as Demon Nine finished speaking, the surrounding air suddenly turned cold.

A cold wind blew past.

The torches in the team were extinguished.

Pairs of hollow eyes emitting dark red light slowly approached from the darkness.

At this moment, Demon Six also noticed it and his face twisted.

Damn, this is such bad luck.

As soon as they set off, they met a tough opponent.

Fortunately, the four corpses are of A rank and there aren’t any Corpse Kings amongst them.

Demon Nine looked around and heaved a sigh of relief.

Earlier, he had planned to have Chu Feng and the others receive the brunt of the attack and take the chance to escape.

Although he might be punished by the Demonic Son, at least he wouldn’t die.

He was already afraid of death to begin with. On this trip to the Corpse Soul Ridge, he could only watch helplessly as those stronger than him died at the hands of the Nightmare Ingesting Beast King.

He was truly afraid.

“All of you, go! Keep these ghouls busy! Sixth Brother and I will kill them as soon as possible!”

Demon Nine let the cannon fodders take the lead.

This way, the two of them would be more relaxed.

Although they were unwilling, they still surrounded the ghouls.

Chu Feng also joined the crowd.

He was only a C-rank warrior to begin with.

No one took him seriously.

He tilted his head and took a look.

Those few Revolutionary Army soldiers were just idling around as well.

Their performance was average.

For a moment, explosions resounded everywhere.

The battle was still quite intense.

With so many B-rank warriors attacking together, even four ordinary A-rank Corpse Souls could not take it.

They did not have any intelligence at all and could only dumbfoundedly get attacked.

Soon, most of the Corpse Souls had been exhausted.

Demon Six and Demon Nine exchanged glances.

They closed in on them and killed the monsters with a single punch.

Seeing this, Chu Feng’s lips twitched.

These Earth Demons are so afraid of death.

This battle quickly ended.

No one died, but a few unlucky ones were injured.

Before the group could catch their breath, a signal flare suddenly shot up from the horizon not far away.

Demon Six shouted, “Quick! A team has encountered the Nightmare Ingesting Beast King. Let’s go and provide back up! The Third Demonic Son will also arrive soon!”

To be safe, in addition to the positioning device, the Earth Demons leading each team were equipped with signal flares.

The entire team immediately started running.

Chu Feng lagged behind the group.

He looked at the signal flare not far away and thought of something.

Previously, he could not communicate with the Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast because he was too far away.

From the looks of it, it wasn’t far from him.

He wondered if they could communicate telepathically.

If he could really communicate with it, he could start to implement some of his plans.

Without any delay, Chu Feng immediately called the Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast in his heart.

At first, there was no response.

But as they got closer and closer, all of a sudden, a childish voice rang out from the bottom of Chu Feng’s heart.

“Master, you’re here?!”

Hearing that voice, Chu Feng revealed a joyous expression.

“Little guy, what’s the situation now?”

Hearing Chu Feng’s question, the Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast immediately became depressed.

“The King’s injuries are very serious. The few of us Nightmare Ingesting Beasts have temporarily merged with the King, to help him hold on for a while longer. But the Earth Demon Tribe is constantly tracking us, and we have been discovered again!”

Chu Feng pondered for a moment.

“How much power can your King unleash now?”

“Probably around the fourth or fifth stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The King was seriously injured, and his strength decreased dramatically.”

“How strong is your opponent?”

“One of them is at the Second-stage Spirit Transformation and there are dozens of B-rank warriors. But before long, the Earth Demon Tribe’s reinforcements will arrive. The King is planning to escape.”

The Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast told him everything it knew.

Hearing those words, Chu Feng’s eyes suddenly shone.

“Don’t be in such a hurry. Escaping isn’t a solution either. Sooner or later, you’ll be exhausted to death.

“I am now part of their reinforcements, and I think I will be the first batch to arrive. Tell your King that we can coordinate our inside and outside offensives to find an opportunity to kill those Demonic Guards and eliminate the forces of your pursuers.”

“Master… Can you do it?”

The Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast found this hard to believe.

His master is only a C-rank warrior. Although he could easily kill a B-rank beast, is he so arrogant now that he wants to kill a Spirit Transformation expert?

This is completely unrealistic!

“Little brat, you don’t even believe in your Master anymore? Just do whatever I say!”

“Alright, I’ll pass on the message.”

After a moment of silence, the Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast spoke again.

“Master, the King agreed. The King is also annoyed by the pursuit. He said that Master only needs to provide him with your location. He will do the killing.”

In actuality, the Nightmare Ingesting Beast King’s original words were, “A mere C-rank warrior dares to ambush a Spiritual Transformation expert? Even if the Spiritual Transformation expert stands there for him to attack, he would not be able to kill him. He shouldn’t bother thinking about killing people.”

The Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast had no choice but to tweak his words.

Chu Feng did not hear the Nightmare Ingesting Beast King’s voice, but he could tell from the Little Nightmare Ingesting Beast’s tone.

The King didn’t believe him at all.

That was true. If a C-rank warrior came before Chu Feng and said that he could kill a Spirit Transformation expert, Chu Feng would also think that that person is a fool.

However, after buying so many good things from the Miscellaneous Item Golden Ranking List, Chu Feng really wanted to use a few Spiritual Transformation experts as sacrifices for his blade.

In that case, let’s see how it goes.

A smile appeared on Chu Feng’s face.

It seems like even my saber is unable to endure the thirst.
