Chapter 302 『Five Monsters』

"How dare the abyss...

At the moment of death, the dark figure uttered a few unclear words, then completely collapsed to the ground and then vaporized in the air.

Gu Yeming put away his sword and stood up, knowing clearly what was going on in his mind. It was obvious that the so-called occupying shadow just now wanted to assimilate him.

However - it is really overestimating one's own capabilities for a mere abnormal-level being to dare to set his sights on him.

And...the other party may have misunderstood something.

The aura of the abyss that comes with the Abyss Dark Wing must have scared the other party.

Ok?

At this moment, Gu Yeming let out a light exclamation, and the monarch's gaze sensed several more units.

He quickly turned his head and looked coldly at the five strange monsters who were secretly watching not far away.

These five strange monsters did not rush forward to attack immediately. Looking closely at their eyes, there was no hostility or murderous intent in them.

Gu Yeming saw this, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he vaguely guessed the identities of these five monsters.

The dark and strange monsters of the blue technological plane——the "Five Monsters".

The "Five Monsters" are divided into: Rotten Skin Candle Demon, Sky-Splitting Wolf Demon, Phantom Light Moth, Soul-Weaving Demon Spider, and Blood Abyss Gluttonous Beast.

Each one has destructive power.

The thought flashed through his mind and Gu Yeming's expression remained calm, without a single ripple.

28 S-level man-made weird monsters are guarding the space and ready to go.

But let's see what they want to do first.

"Gu Yeming..." At this time, one of the humanoid monsters actually spoke human language.

This is actually a destructive-level weird monster - the rotten-skin candle demon.

It is three meters tall, with a hunched body like an old woman, and its skin is like rotten parchment, with wrinkles, patches and peeling, revealing dark blue skin, which faintly smells of wax.

Its head was lowered, and its sparse white hair hung down like dead grass. In its deep eye sockets, a pair of eyeballs were like burning candle wicks, swaying with faint yellow flames. Its nose was flat, with only two blurry black holes left. Its open mouth had no teeth, and its tongue hung limply outside.

Obviously, since it can speak human language, it must be an infected and assimilated human.

The stronger a creature is before being assimilated, the greater the probability of retaining its original consciousness.

On the contrary, the weaker the one, the more likely their consciousness will be erased as they are infected and assimilated, and they will eventually become strange monsters such as alien wolves, white-haired monsters, white-faced men, electric soul shadows, shadow eaters, etc., most of which can only fight based on instinct.

The original form of the native weird monster is not a so-called entity, but more like a consciousness wandering in an unknown space.

Once possessed by this consciousness, the creature will completely turn into a strange monster.

In fact, all kinds of strange monsters with physical form are basically derived from this kind of consciousness.

The previous occupying shadow is no exception, except that it just happens to have the ability to infect and assimilate other creatures.

Once each creature is possessed by this consciousness, the resulting monster form has a high probability of being the original creature's form.

This rotten-skin candle demon was originally a human, and the monster form it derived from is also most likely human.

Fortunately, it still retains its human consciousness, so it can speak human language and communicate normally, and possesses intelligence far beyond other strange monsters.

Of course, this is not a good thing, on the contrary it will only make them feel quite painful.

By turning into a strange monster, you naturally leave the human camp and have to join the strange monster camp.

But how could they, who were previously humans, truly integrate into it?

For strange monsters like these that retain their original human consciousness, being caught in the middle is extremely uncomfortable. They are not accepted by the human camp, and they cannot truly integrate into the monster group. They are often excluded by other monsters, and are neither human nor outside.

If we want to say which one is more powerful, the man-made weird monsters or these human-shaped weird monsters, we can only say that each has its own merits.

The former were carefully cultivated by the Mored Company, each possessing multiple monster characteristics and powerful combat qualities, making them more outstanding overall.

The latter was infected and assimilated by the original strange monster, possessing stronger physical fitness and more powerful monster characteristics. It is obviously a more extreme type.

As for why the rotten-skin candle demon knew Gu Yeming's name, it was also obvious.

Since it is a strange monster transformed from a human being, its intelligence gathering ability must naturally be much stronger.

Gu Yeming is now quite famous in the entire blue technology plane, so it is not surprising that he is known by the Rotten-Skinned Candle Demon.

So when he heard the rotten-skin candle demon calling out his name, Gu Yeming did not feel the slightest bit strange. For a strange monster like this that retained human consciousness, it would be strange if he didn't know him.

He stared into the eyes of the Rotten Skin Candle Demon without saying anything. He went straight to the point and said in a calm tone, "It seems like you want to talk to me?"

He knew at a glance that these monsters must have seen the scene of him summoning a large number of man-made strange monsters before, so they stood not far away calmly.

Normally, they would have pounced on him and attacked him.

"You inherited the man-made weird monster of Morred Company?" The Rotten-Skinned Candle Demon's voice was extremely hoarse.

"If you have something to say, please say it now. I'm sure you've seen me slaughtering your kind." Gu Yeming said in a calm tone, with a hint of coldness in his eyes:

"You dare to come before me openly, you are either stupid or you have an agenda. Tell me your intention, or I will kill you all."

Although Gu Yeming's figure seemed extremely weak compared to the five monsters, his whole body exuded a strong deterrent power all the time.

The rotten-skinned candle demon knew that this was the confidence given to the opponent by the many man-made strange monsters.

Even though each of these five monsters possessed destructive-level strength, they were still no match for 28 S-level man-made weird monsters.

Once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, they will be the ones to die in the end.

It looked at the other party deeply, and then said: "You have the background of Morede Company, and you are qualified to negotiate with us."

"Come with us, our 'king' wants to see you."

However, Gu Yeming didn't care. Seeing that the other party was slow to reveal his intentions, his patience gradually wore away:

"You are playing tricks on me. I will say it again, tell me your intention, or I will kill you all!"

When he said this, he was murderous and not joking.

As early as when he discovered the "Five Monsters", he wanted to kill them to replenish the last one-third of the experience bar.

It's just that I saw that the other party had an agenda, so I kept silent.

"Roar..." The huge Sky-Splitting Wolf Demon beside him obviously couldn't stand Gu Yeming's behavior. It scraped the ground with its claws, its eyes were ferocious, and it looked like it was about to attack.

"If you want to die, go by yourself." The Rotten Skin Candle Demon at the side said coldly: "He has the capital to be arrogant. If you want to fight against many alone, we will not help you."

The Sky-Splitting Wolf Demon growled unwillingly, but eventually fell silent.

"I'm sorry, this is indeed our problem."

The rotten-skinned candle demon was quite aware of the principle that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. It laughed and showed a bit of the temperament of a normal human negotiating person.

"Our 'King' wants to discuss with you some matters regarding the native strange monsters. I guess you also encountered that guy just now."

It refers, of course, to the occupying shadow.

After hearing this, Gu Yeming finally understood. He had some guesses from the beginning.

Just like before, it seems that the dark layer weird monsters... don't get along well with the original weird monsters.
