1940 Entering a no man’s land (1)
Ever since The Fiend nest appeared, the entire world was in chaos, and the original transportation system was basically paralyzed.
In order to avoid The Fiend nest that appeared out of thin air, many places had stopped transportation and were listed as forbidden zones by the officials.
In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, the nearby residents were also moved to a safe place under the protection of the government.
If ordinary people wanted to go to these areas, they would be subjected to multiple inspections and at the same time, they would be solemnly warned that entering these areas would be life-threatening.
Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would easily go to these dangerous areas unless there was no other choice.
On the other hand, many demonic servants had secretly come to the Forbidden Zone in an attempt to seek refuge with the demon masters and find themselves a backer.
The moment such a situation was discovered, the soldiers would immediately kill without any hesitation.
To them, they would not miss an opportunity to kill demons.
The relationship between the human race and the demon race had already reached the level of not resting until one side died. It was either you die or I live.
While most of The Fiend nests remained in their original state without any strange movements, some fiend nests were experiencing abnormal situations.
Among the demon nests that had the most obvious changes, there was one that was located on the outskirts of Randt city. It had once been a village.
When the thousand-year catastrophe started, a fiend nest suddenly appeared here. At the same time, a large amount of fiend Qi spread out, completely enveloping the nearby villages and towns.
Because The Fiend nest had appeared too suddenly, the villagers of that village couldn’t escape in time, and in the end, all of them died.
Fortunately, the government responded in time and transported most of the residents from the surrounding villages and towns away, so there were not too many casualties.
But even so, there were still some residents who were killed. They died instantly after breathing in the demonic Qi.
The bodies of those who were killed were not devoured. Instead, they turned into monsters similar to walking corpses, constantly wandering in the area shrouded by the devil Qi.
Once a living person entered this area, they would definitely be attacked and turned into the same monster.
In addition to these monsters, the nearby cemeteries, after being infected by the devil Qi, also had rotten bones and half-rotten corpses emerging from the ground, wandering between the villages and fields.
As time passed, the range of the black gas grew larger and larger. Because it could not be stopped, the troops in charge of defense had to retreat continuously.
In just a few days, the area had completely turned into a demonic area, and no living creature dared to approach it at all.
The demonic servants that were originally hidden in The Fiend nest also began to appear one after another. They wandered freely in the demonic Qi and carried the resources that could not be withdrawn in time.
This kind of invasion method was quite effective. The human army was helpless and could only watch the demons run wild.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to enter the demonic gas to kill the monsters, but the demonic gas was extremely corrosive. Even if they wore protective clothing, they would be completely damaged in a very short time.
It would be too much of a waste to use a cannon-like weapon to attack. After all, the area covered by demonic Qi was too large, and it was impossible to launch an effective attack.
If they didn’t stop the black gas from spreading, more areas would be covered by it. If all the residents of Randt city were forced to evacuate, the losses would be immeasurable.
Left with no other choice, the military could only take the initiative to attack, using cannons and fighter planes to bombard The Fiend nest.
As a result, not only was The Fiend nest not destroyed, but the demonic Qi spread even faster.
According to the response of the people involved in the attack, after they entered the attack zone, they would all lose their sense of direction and not know where they were.
Not only would the naked eye be unable to find the target, but even if the target was locked on by electronic equipment, the attack would also deviate from the scheduled location.
This was clearly a special ability of the demons, which could confuse their attackers, making them unable to attack effectively.
They had used all the methods they could, and in the end, the military could only ask the Demon Hunter headquarters for help, hoping that they could think of a way.
In fact, the Demon Hunter headquarters was also helpless in this situation. They could only suggest to the military to remain vigilant and prevent the spread of the demonic energy.
Since the Demon Hunters could not be counted on, the military naturally had no choice but to let the demonic energy continue to spread.
In this tense atmosphere, a figure slowly entered the area, as if the terrifying demonic Qi was nothing, and walked straight to the core area.
This person was Tang Zhen. After he left the Demon Hunter headquarters, he came directly to this demon nest.
After discovering that a living person had entered the demonic Qi, those ferocious demonic creatures let out low hoarse roars and continuously swarmed towards him.
However, before they could get close to Tang Zhen, these demonic creatures were like fine sand blown by a strong wind and instantly disappeared without a trace.
After that, specks of red dust slowly flew out from the monsters ‘bodies and disappeared after landing on Tang Zhen’s body.
This was the blood essence refined by demons. The quantity and quality could not be compared to that of demon masters. It was unknown how much blood essence and dust was needed to condense into a blood-colored crystal.
Tang Zhen’s target was naturally not the demonic servants, but the demon master known as corpse elephant, who was hidden in the demon nest.
The corpse-elephant demon master was recorded in the Demon Hunter headquarters, and he was the owner of the demon nest in front of him.
For ordinary people, the appearance of the demon nest was undoubtedly a disaster that they would avoid like the plague. However, for Tang Zhen, it saved a lot of time.
Originally, he had been worried about finding The Fiend nest, but now that this problem had been easily solved, it was simply like sleeping and sending a pillow.
It didn’t take long for him to pass through the area shrouded in demonic Qi and arrive at the location of The Fiend nest.
There were craters left near The Fiend nest. The attacks launched by the military earlier had all hit the ground near The Fiend nest, and only The Fiend nest was unharmed.
Thousands of demonic servants were gathered around The Fiend nest. They were transporting countless resources here to undergo brutal modification.
Ordinary demonic servants did not have the ability to fly, so when they were in battle, human transportation naturally became their first choice.
When they saw Tang Zhen who had suddenly appeared, those Devils were first stunned for a moment. Then, their faces revealed a malevolent expression as they swarmed towards him.
However, as they charged, the demonic servants were obliterated by an invisible hand like water droplets on glass.
When the demonic servants behind saw this scene, they immediately revealed looks of fear and turned to flee without any hesitation.
Tang Zhen’s strength had already exceeded the imagination of these demonic servants. Charging forward would only be seeking death.
Therefore, these demon servants made a prompt decision and quickly retreated from the battlefield, informing the demon masters of the situation.
Before the demonic servants could return to The Fiend nest, they heard an angry roar. Following that, a huge figure rushed out of The Fiend nest.
“Where did this fellow come from, daring to act so atrociously in my fiend nest!”
Wherever the figure passed by, a foul smell rose to the sky. It looked like a giant rotten elephant.
It was wearing a set of heavy armor and waving a huge Mace in its hand. Sparks flew when it dragged the mace on the ground.
After seeing Tang Zhen, the giant elephant Demon Lord first carefully sized him up, then rushed over with a sinister smile.
It didn’t know Tang Zhen, and it didn’t think that the other party’s strength was very strong. Perhaps he was just an unknown little demon master who came here to take advantage of it.
Such fools would appear from time to time.
Since that was the case, he would first reap its life and increase his strength.
Who knew that just as the corpse elephant demon took a step forward, Tang Zhen, who was on the opposite side, had already arrived in an instant. At the same time, the saber in his hand swept across.
The mace was cut in half, and corpse elephant demon master’s head was also cut off. After rolling in the air twice, it fell to the ground.
