Chapter 898 251: Death Rift

Su Changxing countered, "Why?"

Shen Jinxuan thought for a moment, pointed at the bridge on the left, and said, "I can sense that there's a massive amount of death over there."

"A whole lot."

She emphasized again, a trace of worry on her face. "It's like tens of thousands of people died there, and are about to die there."

Su Changxing nodded. "Alright, let's check the right side first."

His vision only extended a little over ten meters, and Perception couldn't unfold either, as if a chain had firmly bound him. Every moment, this world exuded a sense of danger.

This also made Su Changxing keep thinking about what purpose Hongjun had in bringing them here.

If that was the case, then this place was definitely a higher-level world than the Steam World, which was why there were rules powerful enough to bind him.

But what exactly was this place.

With his head full of doubts, Su Changxing and the other followed the bridge on the left all the way forward. After walking nearly a hundred meters, they heard a sss-sss sound, like a snake flicking its tongue. The sound was loud, sending a tingle through their ears, resonating with their Spirit.

Listening to this sound, Shen Jinxuan's pupils turned dark red.

Immediately after.

A human-shaped shadow charged at them from directly ahead, crawling rapidly on all fours, letting out a scream like a woman's shriek.

Only when it drew closer did they see clearly that it was a monster with an extremely long neck and a human body with a snake's head, its face still retaining a humanlike resemblance. Its Speed was extremely fast, leaving afterimages on the ground.

[Snake Demon: Tier Six, adept at beguiling the human heart, body as flexible as a snake, largely immune to physical attacks, fond of sucking human brains.

This Demon is currently in some sort of abnormal State and does not possess any intelligence. It looks relatively easy to handle.]

Bang~

Su Changxing drew his revolver and pulled the trigger at the Demon lunging at him. The bullet burst out and blew through the Demon's head.

The Snake Demon fell to the ground, black blood splattering over the gray stone bricks of the bridge.

The Demon's Life Force was immense; it didn't die outright from that. Instead, it kept struggling, its head even showing signs of regrowing, like an earthworm cut in half.

Seeing this, Su Changxing frowned and fired a few more shots, blasting its body completely to pieces before it finally went still.

"What is that thing?" Shen Jinxuan stared at the corpse on the ground and asked with a curious look. Seeing those bloody chunks still wriggling like worms, as if trying to reassemble, she also felt waves of nausea.

"A Demon. There are Demons here. Demons are nothing good, about the same as Blood Species. If a world has Demons, then it's probably not far from destruction. One Demon will attract more Demons."

Su Changxing couldn't help but furrow his brows as well. He hadn't expected this place, wherever it was, to have Demons.

Demons had something to do with Divine Spirits. He suspected Demons were monsters created by Divine Spirits in the first place.

Shen Jinxuan nodded, her face pale. Everything here made her extremely uncomfortable. "Its screech was really awful."

After walking along the Long Bridge for a stretch, they watched with their own eyes as two Snake Demons crawled up from the water, one on the left and one on the right, leaving afterimages on the ground as they charged at them.

Except.

In Su Changxing's eyes, the movements of these two Demons weren't fast at all—if anything, they seemed slow. Two bangs, and these two Demons who didn't know their place were knocked to the ground.

Without the aid of rules, if he wanted to deal with these Demons with powerful Life Force, Su Changxing still had to put two more rounds into them to kill them completely.

The Demons' flesh rapidly faded on the bridge, merging into the ground as if it were being absorbed.

"Someone died up ahead."

Shen Jinxuan pointed forward. "Very close."

Su Changxing glanced at her in surprise. "You can sense their presence?"

Shen Jinxuan nodded. "Yes. My Ability doesn't seem to be restricted here. In fact, it's even clearer than before."

They followed the Long Bridge onward. At the end of it, they could see a massive阁楼 building, its main doors tightly shut. In the open space before the doors, four or five people were fighting several Demons.

One of them stood out a lot, dressed in a suit, wearing glasses, and waving a blue folder around to knock back the Demons rushing at him.

The way these people fought the Demons was very practiced; clearly, this wasn't their first encounter with such creatures.

The man in the suit knocked a Demon to the ground from the side with his folder, and another man, holding a pitch-black long spike, pierced the Demon's chest, pinning it in place.

There was more than one Demon.

Right after.

Two more Demons with catlike bodies emerged from the Darkness. The fat man holding the long spike was ambushed from behind by one of them, his chest pierced through as he fell to the ground, his heart clawed out.

Seeing this, the others actually turned and ran. Two ran off to the left, while two ran toward their side, and the man in the suit ran into the阁楼.

When those two men had almost reached them, they suddenly vanished, and the Demons chasing behind them vanished as well.

Everything dissolved like a phantom.

"They disappeared?" A look of surprise flashed in Shen Jinxuan's eyes.

When they walked over, they found only a corpse that had been gnawed on left on the ground, the flesh dried up, as if it had been dead for a long time.

Just as they were about to enter the阁楼 to take a look, the moment they stepped up to the doors, three Demons of completely different forms darted out from behind the阁楼.
