As soon as the Tier 3 demon assassin finished speaking, a deafening silence fell over the room. Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
"What did you say? Wiped out? All of them?"
"Those three great adventure parties may not be anything special, but they still had ten Demon Viscounts, nearly a hundred Demon Barons, and over two hundred Tier 3 Class experts. Even if the elite armies of those superpowers launched an assault, they wouldn't gain a single inch inside the
"Tens of thousands of players, all wiped out — were they all pigs?!"
Several Heart of Demons elders instinctively refused to believe the Tier 3 demon assassin's words.
They already knew that
And to make matters worse, they were now being informed that Shi Feng's group was barely more than ten minutes from Demon City.
It was practically a joke!
After all, when the super guild
"He actually came… for real…" Zhutian Luanshi was momentarily stunned.
This was demon territory — not some place outsiders could casually waltz into. When Shi Feng had publicly declared that he would come to Demon City to hunt him down, Zhutian Luanshi had taken it as nothing more than a laughable boast.
Shi Feng and his group had no idea how terrifying demon territory was. Forget reaching Demon City — they wouldn't even survive long in the Burning Forest. Shi Feng's strength, after all, was merely personal strength, and a person's stamina and mental energy were finite. Once inside the vast Burning Forest, non-demon players suffered far greater stamina and mental energy drain from the erosion of demonic power than they would outside. An individual could only accomplish so much.
But now Shi Feng had not only led a team deep into demon territory — he had wiped out three great adventure parties and tens of thousands of demon players. It was almost impossible to fathom.
Yet barely had Zhutian Luanshi and the others processed this news when a fresh commotion erupted at the gates of Demon City.
Players had spotted a group of human players emerging from the woods just outside Demon City — over three hundred of them. They were precisely the team the Heart of Demons had publicly placed a bounty on.
The demon players flooding the city were struck with terror.
"What's going on? How did they get here? Why didn't anyone hear a thing? Weren't the three great adventure parties supposed to be hunting them down?"
"They must have gotten lucky and dodged them. How else could they have made it here?"
"That's impossible! Even if the three great adventure parties somehow missed them, dozens of other adventure parties had also joined the hunt. There's no way they avoided every single one. The moment any team ran into them, the rest would have received word almost instantly — there'd be nowhere to hide."
…
The sudden appearance of Shi Feng's group sent waves of shock and curiosity through the demon players stationed along the city walls. No one had imagined that human players could actually traverse the Burning Forest and reach Demon City. This was an absolute first since the city's founding.
"Of course there was no advance word. Everyone who crossed paths with them was already dead. A friend of mine was among those sent to hunt them down — his entire adventure party, over a thousand strong, and not a single person escaped alive. Apparently the three great adventure parties had already been wiped out before that, but their members kept quiet about it, completely sealing off any news…"
While the demon players on the walls continued buzzing with speculation, a Tier 3 demon expert shot a withering glare at the clueless regular players still muttering to themselves.
The demon players on the wall froze, one and all, and turned to stare at the Tier 3 expert in utter disbelief — as if he were playing some cruel joke on them.
