Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 76 Road Demon
The silent dead leaves slowly fall.
The dusty ancient road seemed to have been buried by time. Occasionally, a few lonely figures flashed by, followed by crazy wails.
On the uneven ground, the blue-black moss and bright red gravel concealed countless murderous intentions.
A road demon lurks behind a pile of rubble.
Compared to his compatriots, Lu Mo is usually very patient.
Perhaps it was due to the limitations of their racial talents—after all, they couldn't move quickly.
The only thing that seems threatening is the bloody mouth disguised under the surface of the stone.
Travelers passing by may accidentally fall into the trap and fall into the mouth of the road demon.
The patient waiting of these greedy creatures was not in vain. They would secrete a large amount of acid at that moment. This acid was extremely corrosive and even the resistance of legendary warriors could not withstand it. As for ordinary people, they would basically be corroded into a pool of delicious flesh and blood in an instant, and absorbed into the countless holes in the belly of the road demon as a part of itself.
Of course, most of the legendary strongmen are very careful, and they will not be harmed by the traps of the road demons. Therefore, what fills the stomachs of these road demons are mostly those ignorant shriveled zombies.
However, even Lu Mo himself had to admit that zombies tasted terrible and had no nutritional value.
The shriveled zombies on the Dead Leaf Corridor are a special kind of creatures between evil spirits and the undead. Even scholars cannot guess their origins, let alone the intellectually retarded road demons.
It was a relatively quiet morning and he was just waiting patiently for lunch.
A figure appeared in the distance.
A humanoid creature that staggers and makes strange wailing sounds from time to time.
All this reveals the identity of the visitor.
A poor, shriveled zombie.
However, although Lu Mo was very disgusted with this creature, he had to continue lurking behind the rubble in order to fill his stomach.
To enhance his concealment, he even cast a Camouflage - one of the few spells he had, it was hard to confuse a high-level powerhouse, but because of its unique properties, few people were willing to mess with a road demon.
Because killing a road demon is troublesome, and the benefits you can gain are very few.
As always, the shriveled zombie stumbled over.
Lu Mo couldn't wait to enjoy this lunch.
However, at this moment, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the depths of the fog.
He penetrated the fog like lightning, and before the shriveled zombie could react, he chopped off his ugly head with one knife!
Unlike the Abominations, the Shriveled Zombies are much more fragile. If their heads are chopped off, they will most likely die.
Lu Mo felt angry.
The lunch that was about to be in my hands was snatched away by someone.
He decided to give this ghostly shadow some color.
So he quietly moved his body, which had merged with the earth, and gradually approached the direction of the figure.
It is well known that Lu Mo can control his own body. He can stretch and flatten his body so that it can cover the entire canyon.
If the figure wanted to cross this road, he would have to step over him.
The camouflage spell had just been applied and was working well, so he was confident that he could swallow the human who had ruined his lunch.
However, the next second, a spherical object flashing with fire was thrown out.
Before Lu Mo could react, blazing flames began to burn on his body!
Along with the horrific heat, his body began to contract painfully, and his vocal organs emitted infrasonic wails.
However, the human in front of him cruelly turned a blind eye.
He watched the road demon struggle in vain and eventually turned into a pile of ashes.
"Using the Sunfire Orb to smash the Road Demon is such a waste of resources!"
Marvin shook his head with some pain.
He endured the burnt stench and rummaged around the road demon's body, and sure enough, he only found some junk.
The body structure of the road demon is very abnormal. Apart from the hunting organs, it also has digestive organs - the digestive ability of this creature is even stronger than that of a dragon!
In many territories of the abyss, demon lords would raise some road demons as creatures that digest garbage the most, which shows how perverted the acid in this thing's stomach is.
In fact, if Marvin was willing, he could still capture some road demons alive and collect the acid in their bodies.
In the game of his previous life, Marvin had done a similar task. It was a high-level skill, dangerous, but very valuable.
The acid of the road demon combined with a specific enchantment spell can make your dagger have a very terrible corrosion curse, even the legendary armor can be corroded.
Unfortunately, Marvin doesn’t have that much time nowadays.
He has plenty of financial resources.
As the lord of the most prominent territory after the Cataclysm, Marvin has far more resources than in his previous life.
Things like the Sunfire Sphere, even the big guilds in the previous life's game would only use it during the dungeon development stage depending on the situation.
But to Marvin, these wizard magic weapons produced in the Tower of Craftsmen are just consumables.
Anyway, most of the craftsman wizards in the Craftsman Tower are least affected by chaos magic because of the characteristics of their profession.
They survived the catastrophe, but it would be very difficult for them to survive. They had to cooperate with others.
The White River Valley was the best target. During the cooperation, it was easy for Marvin to get some Yangyan Orbs.
Even so, using the Sunfire Sphere to hit the Road Demon is still a bit of a waste. If Marvin wasn't in a hurry and had no other choice, he would never do this.
…
It was approaching noon, and the sky of the Blood Wasteland was always gray. Fortunately, the biological clocks of the legendary strongmen were very accurate and they could judge the time easily.
Marvin killed a large number of monsters on the Dead Leaf Corridor and gained a large amount of experience points - but these experience points were useless to him. Maybe they could be used to improve the level of the Fireline Gunner, but they did not help his overall strength much.
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that he didn't encounter many road monsters along the way, only three.
There are more shriveled zombies and abominations.
It seems that Balkh has to pay a huge price to summon the road demon, otherwise he would definitely want as many of these disgusting things as possible.
After checking the data panel, I found that the value on the Soul Orb had become [196/200]. It seemed that as long as one more mass creature was killed, the energy value on the Soul Orb would reach full.
Marvin is also looking forward to seeing what abilities will appear at that time .
But now doesn't seem to be the time to think about this issue.
Because the road ahead vaguely appeared to be a canyon.
We arrived at the valley where Balkh lived.
