Chapter 432: 199: What the heck is a surprise?
The island, at the southernmost star position.
To Wu Xin's surprise, in such a situation, he actually heard the word "rules" from a succubus's lips.
The night demons he had encountered were mostly brutal and simplistic, a singularity that indicated a lack of intelligence.
But the silver-haired succubus in front of him was the first among them to react.
He controlled his emotions and made a calm judgment.
Wu Xin's impression of Midel changed.
Midel, looking at the snow demon covered in blood, coldly said,
"After the prompt about the rules appeared, this incident occurred. I need an explanation. Do you hold hostility towards us because I am a demon?"
Humans are best at agreeing on the surface, then stabbing you in the back, aren't they?
Guang Tongchen, although sensing Midel's intent to kill and preparing to protect the snow demon at one point,
seeing Midel completely calm down, calmed down as well.
A quick analysis revealed that the snow demon could not possibly have the strength to instantly kill two succubi, thus…
it turned out that his group owed the other party.
Demons might not be the nicest beings, but the succubus in front of him definitely had a close relationship with Jiang Xianwu.
He had witnessed firsthand how Jiang Xianwu had persuaded Dr. A's granddaughter, An Ya.
In his view, it was completely reasonable for Zhou Baiyu to persuade another Corruption species.
"This must be caused by the rules; this is essentially a draft, and dying in a draft is quite normal."
"What we need to do now is to keep our distance. At least the two succubi who were killed instantly both had made contact with the snow demon. Either the snow demon is now protected by the rules, having received some power…"
"Or, each of us has received power, but the powers have some sort of restraining relationship."
Guang Tongchen quickly analyzed.
Midel, also quite calm, as a cruel succubus, even regained her previous composure and elegance:
"Let's continue on our way."
The snow demon still dared not speak, only shivering and nodding her head.
Wu Xin was certain, in the face of unclear rules, Midel would not dare to harm humans.
But he still admired—
Midel recovered too quickly. Although initially murderous over the deaths of two comrades, she now appeared completely indifferent.
It seemed that from the beginning, she didn't care about her companions' lives and deaths; she just thought humans were hostile.
But once the misunderstanding was cleared up, she could smile and greet again.
This ruthlessness made both Wu Xin and Guang Tongchen feel a chill.
"Don't be wary of me. According to your words, I'm probably what's called a... demon traitor. Yes, that word should describe it accurately."
"You don't know my experiences among the demons, so naturally, you don't know why I have such an attitude towards them."
"No need to talk more, shall we now go find Jiang Xianwu?"
"I have a lot to say to him."
After agreeing with Jiang Xianwu, approaching Reina, and bearing humiliation, Reina also tested Midel extensively.
This was version 2.49 of Midel, with high status and power. But the cruelty she experienced was also unimaginable to others.
Although a massacre had happened, both parties had calmed down, and somewhat absurdly, they continued on their way.
Midel even walked in the front, exposing her back to the three humans, to show that she would not be hostile towards them.
Thus, Guang Tongchen noticed—there was a cloth pattern on Midel's back.
Originally pondering the rules, he seemed to understand something in that instant.
...
...
The other end of the battlefield.
About six kilometers from Midel and the others, was the battlefield where Zhou Baiyu and others were located.
After the Flame Demon was instantly killed, as it burst open directly leaving no remains, the Nether Demon could not revive it.
The most complex scenario Zhou Baiyu had envisaged was far simpler than he imagined…
After witnessing Zhang Haoyun instantly kill the Terror Demon, after seeing Zhou Baiyu kill the Flame Demon…
The Nether Demon lost all will to fight.
It thought Zhang Haoyun was the strongest, but unexpectedly, the human pioneer behind was even more formidable!
It was the Flame Demon… to be killed instantly like that?
The Nether Demon dared not continue the fight and immediately decided to flee.
Zhou Baiyu of course would not give the Nether Demon the chance, working with Zhang Haoyun's Corruption Tentacles to block its path, leaving it no escape.
It swung its scythe, attempting to fight Zhou Baiyu.
But before its scythe could even hook Zhou Baiyu's soul, it had already been touched by the red blade of reverse corruption on Zhou Baiyu's body, and the moment it made contact… the Nether Demon's entire demon body burst open.
A fight that seemed almost certainly disastrous ended in an instant reversal.
The exploded Nether Demon, like its three souls and seven spirits, turned into streaks of green light flying in different directions, unlike the explosion of the Flame Demon.
Zhang Haoyun hadn't expected that a dangerous situation could be reversed so easily:
"Are you... this strong?"
Zhou Baiyu, standing with his hands behind his back, as if a sage fishing alone against all beings, somewhat pompously said:
"I told you, I would protect you."
Although Zhang Haoyun also guessed that it had something to do with the rules, she still felt Zhou Baiyu was impressive.
Being able to utilize the rules is a skill in itself.
However, soon Zhou Baiyu began to explain the details of the rules to Zhang Haoyun and Zhen Shi.
After understanding the rules… Zhang Haoyun couldn't help but exclaim:
"This is the power of the rules? Such a big gap in strength, and yet it can be completely ignored, erasing the opponent directly?"
