Chapter 207: The Demon King in the Abyss
Rosen said, "It looks like I have to step in now!"
Upon hearing Rosen's words, Meng Die and the others were invigorated, excited, and delighted: "You're finally going to make a move!"
You must know, Rosen is someone who can defeat Oda Nobunaga. Once he makes a move, even with a slight use of his skills, he can defeat the formidable Ice Demon before them.
And at this moment, Rosen took action.
He stretched out a hand and instantly crushed the Ice Demon.
Power King, seeing this attack with no technique, said disdainfully, "If it were me, I'd definitely make my move with more finesse, unlike you, just brazenly stretching out your hand like that."
"Is there a need for formality when making a move?" Rosen withdrew his hand and said.
After the Ice Demon was vanquished, the frozen feeling that enveloped everyone dissipated completely.
Miao Renfeng's Gu King seemed a bit unsatisfied; the freezing sensation earlier felt quite good to him, but once the Ice Demon was defeated, that feeling disappeared.
"Come on, what are you still hung up on?" Miao Renfeng patted Gu King's head and said.
Gu King then followed behind Miao Renfeng as they ventured deeper into the abyss.
The passage ahead became narrow, allowing only three people to pass at a time.
"Going further inside is the real abyss. The abyss is actually a passage from the alternate dimension to the real world. Because it originates from an alternate dimension, it possesses powerful compressive forces of rules within it. Even a powerful being could easily be crushed into dust if not careful."
Meng Die reminded everyone.
"Yeah." Each of them nodded, feeling nervous inside.
At this moment, a man dressed in beggar's clothing slowly crawled out of the narrow passage ahead.
He looked very familiar, but how could such a human possibly have run out from within the abyss? This was baffling??
Just then, Meng Die's expression changed, her face turned somber. "This seems to be the Beggar!"
Seeing Meng Die's tense expression, Rosen said, "Aren't you stating the obvious? I can see that too."
"No, you misunderstood Meng Die's meaning. What she means is that the name of this monster is actually the Beggar."
"What, this monster looks like a human, yet is a monster?!" Rosen was a bit surprised.
But it's easy to understand. After all, things that run out of the abyss are unlikely to be human.
"Prepare for battle!"
"Heh heh, since it's a human form, I can suppress it one hundred percent," the Barefoot Immortal volunteered, "I've prepared over a hundred pairs of smelly socks just to suppress this kind of humanoid monster."
Their faces turned immediately and they said, "No, Barefoot, quickly put away your smelly socks. In such a narrow space, if you unleash your smelly socks, the air around here will immediately become unbreathable."
Barefoot Immortal felt a bit deflated upon hearing this; it seemed it wasn't his moment to shine yet.
Meng Die said, "Let me go. I will use the blue Butterfly to blow it up!"
Upon hearing this, the others looked even more terrified and quickly stopped her: "You're just trying to collapse this narrow passage, aren't you? This place can't withstand an explosion of rules."
Miao Renfeng stepped forward at this moment and said, "I don't think Power King will do either. His strength would easily destroy this passage. Let me handle it. It's time you see the power of Gu King."
Miao Renfeng gestured and instructed Gu King on what to do.
Gu King then walked toward the Beggar's figure in the passage.
He approached it and then tossed a Gold Coin into the beggar's bowl.
The Beggar's face immediately lit up with the brilliance of humanity, smiling as he said, "Thank you for nature's gift!"
The next moment, the Beggar transformed into a golden light and dissipated.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was at a loss for words.
"Weren't we saying that the battle power of such a Beggar monster reached the level of an extraordinary being? Miao Renfeng, what exactly did you do to let your Gu King instantly kill it?"
"Well, of course, it was the power of money!"
Only Miao Renfeng knew that the Beggar was actually a monster created by the abyss, transforming the souls of human beggars. So, the Beggar's desire was to get Gold Coins. Once this condition is met, it would dispel itself, avoiding a terrible battle.
Otherwise, with the Beggar's terrifying combat power, it could easily kill them all.
"Alright, now we should pass through this narrow passage, but we must be careful. This passage has limited space and is prone to collapse, meaning if we encounter powerful members of the Demon Race during our passage, fighting them could easily shatter the passage, and we could be buried in a spatial vortex."
Along the way, they discussed the precautions of entering the passage and eventually realized they should try to avoid the Demon Race within the passage as much as possible.
At an intersection, they encountered a Demon Race creature asleep.
This Demon Race had three heads, each one plunged into slumber.
"It's a Hellhound, usually employed as a guard, which implies there may be treasures beyond the door."
They saw a door emerge on the wall nearby with the words "Kitchen Restricted Area, No Entry" inscribed on it, indicating the treasures inside were mainly related to food.
