Chapter 207: The Demon King in the Abyss_2
Rosen and the others immediately started drooling.
It's important to know that they had already consumed all their magical pills and herbs along the way, and with no food reserves left, it was easy to starve to death halfway through.
The door before them was a transit station, and inside, there should be the food they needed to replenish themselves.
Opening the door would definitely attract the attention of the Hellhounds, so they couldn't open it; they could only try to squeeze through the crack in the door, perhaps experiencing the feeling of being pinched by it.
"This door crack isn't too big, but I think it's a pity we didn't bring walnuts. Otherwise, we could have cracked walnuts in the door while entering and eating them."
Upon hearing Rosen say this, Meng Die's saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth, and she complained, "Why didn't you bring some walnuts?"
This crack was so large that even passing through it took several minutes.
Moreover, they easily passed through the crack without alarming the Hellhounds and entered inside.
Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted through the air.
"Look quickly, it's roast goose!" Meng Die pointed at the massive table in front of them, where a roast goose emitted a multicolored glow, her face filled with shock.
It's important to know that this wasn't ordinary roast goose, as its ingredients used a marinated goose, already very flavorful.
"Quickly, replenish some energy. Soon we will need to fight the Demon Race within the abyss, and we must replenish as much energy as possible!"
While everyone feasted, the entire platter of roast goose was devoured in no time.
However, as the flavors spread further while they ate, the consequence was waking the hounds outside, with the Hellhound letting out an earth-shaking howl.
This was an alarm signal, quickly alerting many powerful demons within the abyss.
Soon, a group of approximately ten powerful demons emerged from the abyss, each standing as tall as an three-story building, with incredible strength, capable of punching a troublesome pest to dust.
Moreover, these monsters shared a common feature: they had blue faces, and sharp teeth like a Demon King, each one intimidating enough to silence crying children.
"Who was it? Who dared to tamper with the King's dinner?"
The powerful demons were extremely angry; it was known that none dared touch their King's food.
Yet intruders had tampered with the food!
The intruders were evidently only humans.
"Quick, send someone to kill the intruding humans!"
"Let me go!"
The speaker was a cricket the size of an three-story building.
Its jumping ability was incredibly powerful, with immensely strong jumping skills, capable of reducing targets to dust in one blow.
Almost like someone who had consumed the spring-spring fruit, having such powers.
The Cricket Demon King hopped toward the passage entrance.
Soon, it encountered the intruders. Surprisingly, it was four humans, a group of butterflies, and a large insect.
"Was it you who ate the King's dinner?"
"Are you referring to the roast goose?" Rosen asked.
"Indeed, then die!"
The Cricket Demon King didn't give them a chance to explain; after all, explaining is covering up, so it immediately unleashed a powerful kick.
The pressure that instantly emerged instilled great fear in Rosen and the others.
The demons within the abyss possessed the combat power of mighty beings, and the Cricket Demon King before them was on a level that surpassed even Oda Nobunaga's.
Miao Renfeng said, "Since it's an insect, let's show it the prowess of the Gu King!"
Turning around, Miao Renfeng found that his Gu King had slipped away?!
What's happening!
Wasn't the Gu King afraid of battle?!
"What do you think, Power King?" Miao Renfeng immediately sought help from the Power King.
"A piece of cake, I wasn't able to defeat Oda Nobunaga before, but this time I'll redeem myself!"
The Power King's control over strength had reached mastery, and after the battle with Rosen, he had broken through, his power surging rapidly.
A precise strength control blocked the incoming overwhelming power.
"Impossible, my strike was actually blocked, is this a joke?"
The Cricket Demon King's expression changed immediately, no longer underestimating this human called Power King.
"Power King, it seems you are a strength-type superhuman, but even if your strength can withstand my strike, there are also strength-type demons inside, you are likely to encounter trouble!"
After hearing the Cricket Demon King's words, Power King's expression changed: "What, there are strength-type demons inside?! Great, I want to fight ten of them!"
Seeing Power King not afraid but excited instead, the Cricket Demon King also became excited, "Since you want to fight ten, then I'll let you fight a hundred!"
As it spoke, it continually bounced between the ground and the walls, creating a hundred phantoms.
"Didn't you say you wanted to fight ten, how bout trying a hundred?" the Cricket Demon King's voice came from all directions.
Meng Die's expression immediately changed, saying, "I once encountered such an opponent; they were a spring fruit ability user, their body bounced like a spring, impossible to kill, even hard to hit."
Power King asked, "How did you defeat that opponent then?"
"It's simple, to defeat a spring-featured ability user, you need a certain understanding of physics; know that the spring fruit's rule is simple harmonic motion, with potential energy and kinetic energy transforming into one another, it's only during this transformation that their speed slows down, so you shouldn't focus on the phantoms flying in the air, but their landing point."
"I see, now I understand."
Power King suddenly spat out a large amount of substance resembling chewing gum, saying, "This is the viscous force formed from gathering all my strength, representing a level of my understanding of power."
He spread this viscous force on the surrounding walls and floor.
At this moment, the hundred phantoms in the air vanished, and the body of the Cricket Demon King appeared on the wall, its foot was stuck by the viscous force, unable to rebound away.
This scene left the Cricket Demon King baffled.
"Impossible, what is this sticky stuff on my foot?"
"This is my viscous force, a level of mastery in the control of power!"
So-called viscous power is a state that forms like a very sticky vortex when Tai Chi Boxing is performed at a very high speed; under the entanglement of vortex-like power, any opponent will be tightly crushed against the wall, unable to move.
"I understand, it seems you are a master of Tai Chi Boxing!" The Cricket Demon King realized and said, "I've heard that humans have many strong rule-type martial arts techniques, and it seems I've learned something new."
Power King said, "No, I just possess excellent control over power."
The Cricket Demon King then let out a scream, as a long Iron Wire Insect emerged from its tail!
"Ah, that's disgusting!"
Seeing this scene, Meng Die was instantly filled with fear.
"It's an Iron Wire Insect, it seems the Cricket Demon King was parasitized by the Iron Wire Insect, it's not truly him!"
Once fully emerged, the Iron Wire Insect laughed and said, "I, the Iron Wire Great Demon King, thought that by occupying the Cricket Demon King's body, I could dominate the entire abyss, but unexpectedly, I failed today. However, with my iron-threaded body, which is very hard, even though Tai Chi Boxing overcomes hardness with softness, it still cannot affect me!"
The Iron Wire Insect then connected head to tail, forming an iron ring, and unexpectedly, a human martial artist's shadow appeared in the air, placing the iron ring on his arm.
"Iron Wire Fist!"
"What?!!!" Power King was shocked, not expecting the opponent could summon a martial artist's shadow and cooperate with their iron wire to perform a martial artist's technique called Iron Wire Fist.
This situation was hard for Power King to believe, but he quickly realized, "It seems I underestimated the strength that a mere Iron Wire Insect can unleash."
At this moment, Power King's body swelled up, his muscles exploded with destructive power.
"So, it's the Iron Wire Fist, then now I'll use true Tai Chi Boxing to duel with your Iron Wire Fist!"
Then, Power King's arms were soft like water yet carried incredibly strong force.
As his arms swung, they had the force to move mountains and overturn seas.
Colliding with the opponent's Iron Wire Fist.
Instantly, sparks flew!
But soon, Power King managed his strength, making his attacks slow and gentle.
The opponent's Iron Wire Fist began to feel powerless, as if caught in a quagmire.
At this moment, the Iron Wire Demon King said, "Now, I am trapped in your Tai Chi Boxing quagmire, so I'll use a counterplan to take over your body!"
The Iron Wire Insect rapidly drilled into the vortex center, intending to break through Power King's defense.
