Chapter 39: Demonic City
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Carrying a sharp long saber on his back, Chu Feng sped all the way.
With the speed of the Blazing Wings of the Sky, Chu Feng quickly arrived outside the Demonic City.
Looking from afar, the Demonic City spanned several hundred miles. It could be considered one of the few large cities in the second level of the Abyss.
Inside, it was divided into an inner and an outer city.
The two were separated by tall city walls.
A large number of tribes thrived here.
Except for the demonic tribes, all the other tribes could only live in the outer city.
Most ordinary folks had only been spared their lives.
They were slaves doing hard labor, living a life of constant danger.
Other than a few powerful tribes which could barely ensure that they were not bullied,
most of the tribes were in a miserable state.
The city had a strict hierarchy.
The Ground Demon Tribe was the Heaven; they could arbitrarily execute anyone from the various tribes.
If the other tribes dared to go against them, they would usually carry out the guilt-by-a.s.sociation system and kill them all, including those a.s.sociated with them.
Just a moment ago, Chu Feng was standing at the entrance of the Demonic City.
He saw with his own eyes several centaurs, who had been pulling a mining truck, being beaten to death by an overseer when they could no longer walk due to the heavy load.
The overseer was not from the demonic tribe, but was actually a centaur.
Yet, he mercilessly slaughtered his own kind.
Every tribe had lackeys who were willing to work for the demonic tribe.
They were heavy-handed toward their own kind, but meek and submissive toward their master.
The people around them only glanced at them indifferently and no longer cared.
Obviously, this sort of thing was commonplace in the Demonic City.
The people here had already become numb.
They held no hope for the future.
This was the world under the rule of the demonic tribe.
b.l.o.o.d.y, cruel, and inhumane.
Chu Feng began to ponder.
If humanity had been defeated during the last Abyssal Great Tribulation, perhaps those working as slaves here today would include humans.
I must never let this happen!
If the demonic tribe dared to step into the human world, he would kill as many of them as they came!
He would kill till they become terrified, to the point that they would be petrified at the mere mention of ‘humans’!
For this goal, Chu Feng knew very well that he had to seize every opportunity to fight all the way.
It would not be adequate to be a Grade S martial artist, even reaching the strength of Yu would not suffice.
He had to become even stronger!
He could not allow himself to relax even for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, he strode into the Demonic City.
The priority now was to get into the city and gather some intelligence.
There were many experts in the Demonic City, and there were many Grade A beings, not to mention the Grade A+ Mo Qianfan.
Chu Feng had to be careful.
He had just stepped into the outer city when he saw a simple shed on his left.
A large group of creatures from various tribes had gathered together.
They seemed to be listening to a story.
There were continuous cheers.
Chu Feng had also walked over.
He managed to push through the crowd.
Under the tattered shed was a table with a short goblin standing on it.
Spittle flew everywhere as he talked non-stop about something.
“You don’t know this, but four hours ago, the Third Demonic Son led his army and surrounded the Ingesting Nightmare Beast King in Carca.s.s Soul Ridge. The two sides fought a fierce battle, and it was as if the heavens and earth were in chaos. A tall mountain of a thousand meters at the Carca.s.s Soul Ridge was razed flat. The experts in the stages of Spirit Transformation are too terrifying!”
Hearing this, Chu Feng raised an eyebrow. He became interested.
The goblin continued to yell and gesticulate with his hands and feet, afraid that others might not hear him clearly.
“Speaking of which, this Ingesting Nightmare Beast King is really powerful. It’s already at the 6th-stage of Spirit Transformation. Even two of the Demonic Guards by the side of the Third Demonic Son have died. That Lord of the Demonic Guards is also an expert in Spirit Transformation!
“When can I become such an expert, sigh…”
“Hey, Brook, why is your old habit acting up again? Stop wasting time. Quick, tell us what happened.”
Someone below the stage booed and urged him to continue.
On top of the table, the goblin named Brook glanced at the crowd.
“What’s the rush? I was just about to continue. A brother of mine partic.i.p.ated in the encircle-and-kill mission and saw with his own eyes! After that Ingesting Nightmare Beast King had killed the two Demonic Guards, Lord Karl made his move. He is one of the Ground Demon Tribe’s elites, with the strength of 7th-stage Spirit Transformation. The moment he made his move, he beat up the Ingesting Nightmare Beast King till it could not bear it anymore. The Third Demonic Son was already prepared to use the enslavement contract, but at this moment, an unbelievable thing happened…”
At this point, Brook suddenly stopped.
He picked up a gla.s.s of some unknown liquid and drank it leisurely.
“What happened? Quick, tell us!”
“I’m dying of anxiety!”
“This guy is asking for Magic Stones! He’s really cunning!”
At this moment, a tall orc with the head of a lion and a human body coldly threw out a crystal clear stone.
“Tell me quickly.”
Brook, the goblin, caught it quickly and immediately beamed with joy.
“My Lord, you must have come for the Ingesting Nightmare Beast King and the Thousand-Soul Spirit Flower. Don’t worry, the Ingesting Nightmare Beast King escaped in the end.
“I heard that at that critical moment, several more Ingesting Nightmare Beasts had appeared. They mysteriously merged into the Ingesting Nightmare Beast’s body.
“At that moment, the Ingesting Nightmare Beast King seemed to have been injected with drugs. It erupted directly, forcing Lord Karl back, while it took the opportunity to escape.
“Of course, the Ingesting Nightmare Beast King was also severely injured; it is most vulnerable now. My Lord, if you’re interested in the Ingesting Nightmare Beast King and the Thousand-Soul Spirit Flower, this is definitely the best opportunity. Of course, you have to also be prepared for the consequences of being hunted down by the Lord of the Ground Demon Tribe.”
“Hmph, I have no interest in the Ingesting Nightmare Beast King and that treasure. Don’t spout nonsense! I wouldn’t dare to compete with the Third Demonic Son.”
The lion-headed martial artist hurriedly denied it but there were dark ripples in his eyes. One could not tell what he was thinking.
Chu Feng also glanced at the half-beast man.
This guy was definitely not weak.
At the very least, he was a Grade A expert. As to whether he had been transformed into a spirit, this was hard to determine.
Goblin Brook chuckled and did not expose him.
“Alright, that’s all the latest news. If there is further news, I, Brook, will certainly be the first to inform everyone. I only need some service fees, hehe.”
With that, Brook jumped off the table.
He decided to pack up and leave.
Just at this moment, all of a sudden, the sound of metallic hooves and wolf howls could be heard coming from within the city.
Brook, who was about to leave, suddenly grimaced.
“We’re done for. It’s the City Guards.”
The lion-headed orc also turned around to see.
Chu Feng looked in the direction of the sounds.
There were more than ten members from the Ground Demon Tribe, each riding a Three-Eyed Demonic Wolf, with their heads held high.
They had galloped their way here.
All the commoners of the various tribes hurriedly knelt down.
Even the group around Chu Feng, hurriedly fell to their knees and placed their hands on their heads.
Reluctantly, Brook also dropped to his knees.
Only Chu Feng and the half-beast lion man remained standing.
Seeing this, Brook reminded them hurriedly, “Quick, kneel down! This is Demonic City’s rule; when you encounter the lords of the Ground Demon Tribe, you must kneel down to express your respect.”
Before Brooke could finish, a dozen or so Three-Eyed Demonic Wolves had already arrived in front of them.
The leader of the Ground Demon Tribe, Kupoche, coldly swept his gaze across the entire area.
He immediately noticed Chu Feng and the half-beast lion man.
This could not be helped as they were the only ones standing.
“How dare you not kneel when you see our tribe? Men! Kill them!”
Kupoche said indifferently.
In fact, he did not bother to even talk to the two of them.
His arrogance was evident.
