Chapter 408 - 398: Demon Nemesis
Nowadays, Chen Feng has summoned many kinds of Summoned Beasts. In recent summons, even unconventional creatures like the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish and Demon Shadow have been brought forth.
Summoning.
This is inherently a form of gamble.
Just like now, although the blood of the White Dragon is gone, its powerful body remains. Chen Feng abandoned the idea of turning it into jerky and instead wanted to let it have a final use.
"Hoo-hoo..."
At this moment, as the array on the ground began to emit light, the sticky, blood-soaked ground seemed to open a horrifying Other Dimension, from which a violent will emanated, unlike the chill of the Undead, resembling more a pure beast’s will, full of slaughter and eruption.
The aura seemed similar to that of a Demon.
Demon = danger;
This is an indisputable fact!
Though Demons may be somewhat repulsive and violent, their strength is undeniable. Surviving in such a harsh environment makes them successful elites; the bloodstains on them from days past can only be described as terrifying.
"So, what kind of monster will it be?"
Chen Feng muttered to himself. At this moment, just when he was filled with anticipation, the array suddenly emitted a foul stench, a portion of which touched the little grass beside it, causing it to wither as if corroded.
At the same time, a cacophony of wailing screams echoed from the array, as if thousands of resentful souls were roaring, unsettling everything around...
Witnessing this spectacle, Chen Feng’s heart was filled with awe!
Each layer of the Bottomless Abyss has its own unique, terrifying environment.
The harsh conditions made the creatures there extremely uneasy, akin to ferocious beasts. After a moment, the negative emotion within the array grew colder. Under the influence of this power, a layer of hatred spread across Chen Feng’s face.
"Hmm... This is insane? Even though it was only for a second, the ability to convey such a real sensation through the array means this creature is no ordinary one..."
At this point, Chen Feng’s anticipation grew stronger, yet alongside it came a foreboding sense of dread because this yet-to-be-seen Summoned Beast, although prevented from reaching Golden Tier due to the flaw in the sacrifice, was still no simple entity.
Chen Feng watched intently; just then!
Something even more unbelievable happened!
As the power reached its peak, Chen Feng’s pupils suddenly contracted. Before him, a "monster" enveloped in a metallic aura emerged from the black mist, starkly contrasted in black and white, incredibly distinct.
This bizarre existence, as if starved for ages, went mad upon sighting the gourmet feast, its flat head furiously biting into the shriveled flesh of the White Dragon.
Due to the sacrifice, the White Dragon’s meat resembled dried jerky, instantly turning into a mummy, yet before this creature, its appetite was astonishing, heedless of the White Dragon’s dried flesh.
It began gnawing on the other’s body.
"Sss..."
The grinding of teeth sounded as the creature opened its sharp jaws, suddenly clasping the White Dragon’s head tightly...
"Crunch-crunch"
The creature’s terrifying teeth, whose sharpness was unknown, effortlessly pierced through the White Dragon’s body, and then it frantically started consuming.
This creature’s exterior emitted a glowing metallic sheen, had four limbs, and a long tail at the back. Its front and back legs differ significantly; it stands using its hind legs, using the front ones to grab objects. Most terrifying is its head, featuring a sharp, elongated face, a menacing countenance in gray-brown hue—a terrifying sight with liquid constantly oozing from its mouth and producing frightening sounds even when calling.
It turns out the tip of this creature’s tongue has a row of teeth; its tongue is particularly long and remarkably strong, its tongue sharper than an ordinary iron whip.
An alien species.
It’s not purely an Abyssal creature. Like the Dark Elf, it’s an entity from another dimension, whose formidable abilities allow it to thrive and establish a foothold in the Abyss.
The alien species are among the most feared creatures in the Abyss, pure, deadly, beautiful, even sometimes appearing quite elegant. In the darkness, you never know what awaits you; perhaps the vibrant you this second loses life to the deadly kiss the next.
Immense potential!
This creature is called an alien species because its appearance has no fixed form; in its juvenile phase, it enters the enemy’s body for incubation.
In the juvenile stage, aliens are small, move faster, and have astonishing leg strength. Upon finding a host, it leaps onto its face, pries open its mouth, and injects the alien embryo down its throat. At this point, the larvae supply the host with oxygen to preserve life. After full embryo injection, the larva’s mission ends, and they automatically die.
Through facehugger injection, the alien embryo, parasitically residing within the host, assimilates the host’s DNA to enhance and reform itself, and alters the host’s DNA to sustain life.
Each DNA results in aliens of different appearances and abilities. Once all DNA transformations are complete within the host, they burst forth.
At this time, possessing the host’s genetic traits, once matured, they choose to leave the host by brutally bursting out from the chest, killing the host. The young, before becoming adult aliens, only use their primary jaws to injure opponents, although they should avoid combat. Without feet, they crawl on the ground; becoming adults requires meat and a molt.
Like the appearance before you.
A skeletal face beneath a transparent skull; through this, one can faintly see a "face of death," its jaw and cheeks bearing a pair of tube-like respiratory ducts leading to four ducts on its back.
These ducts store a quantity of corrosive mucus, more terrifying than magma under certain conditions—especially for this being. Upon reaching the legendary realm, this mucus can penetrate alloy and metallic materials.
In the Abyss, certain alien larvae even specifically hunt Blazing Demons, using them as hosts. Upon acquiring the Flame Demon’s DNA, they grow immensely, naturally gaining fire element power and stealth talent.
This creature possesses no excess intelligence, only innate brutality and slaughter. In every alien swarm, there’s a queen like an ant queen governing her offspring. Provided abundant food, she can breed ceaselessly.
In the Abyss, this creature is also known as the population killer.
A quite eerie title.
Every alien needs a living being to grow. From birth, they are entwined with death. Due to DNA assimilation capabilities, these creatures select hosts to gain different powers and adaptability.
What does this imply?
If an alien larva uses the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish as a host, aside from transforming its appearance, it gains inherent control over the Water Element.
Frightening entities beyond Blazing Demons, various Demon Hunting Spiders, Dog-headed Monsters, Swamp Octopi; these creatures are all alien targets. Once alien larvae enter and merge with the opponent, their power exponentially increases, and their adaptability becomes terrifyingly enhanced, defying conventional perspectives.
In contrast to the relatively "mild" foreign species like Dark Elves, aliens are tagged with a [dangerous] label. Due to being too conspicuous, some Demon Lords launched raging massacres upon them, threatening the race’s survival, with only a small portion existing in the Abyss.
Rumor has it that aliens await a chance—a chance to rise again!
Gazing at the demon nemesis in front of him, a trace of curiosity arose in Chen Feng’s eyes.
Regardless of their notoriously evil reputation, it is undeniable that they possess formidable strength.
Along with their bizarre invisibility, in battle, they would be an outstanding infiltrator. (Assassin)
