Chapter 239 The First Great Demon Who Speaks Human Language

Black mudslides have emerged from the forest.

Those were tens of thousands of Frost Giant Wolves! They didn't charge in a chaotic frenzy as before, but instead formed an extremely neat wedge formation. On the flanks of the wolf pack, packs of Snow Spirit Foxes, skilled in spitting frost magic, provided covering fire; while in the sky, a dark mass of mutated Snow Owls circled and waited like a bomber squadron.

They marched in perfect unison, each step sending a dull tremor through the earth. These were no longer wild beasts; they were clearly a disciplined, well-equipped army of ice and snow warriors!

"Fire...fire!"

The commander roared at the top of his lungs.

On the city wall, the hunters, barely recovering from the sonic shock, endured the excruciating pain of their pseudo-spiritual roots being torn apart, and frantically rushed towards the undamaged psionic heavy cannons.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Artillery fire exploded among the wolf pack, sending limbs and severed bodies flying everywhere.

However, to everyone's dismay, the wolf pack's charging formation did not collapse under the artillery fire. As the giant wolves at the front fell, those behind immediately filled the gaps. Even more terrifying, the snow foxes knew how to work together to cast ice spells, conjuring massive ice shields above the wolf pack, greatly reducing the destructive power of the psionic artillery fire!

Even the lowest-ranking first and second-tier monsters, once they have tactical coordination, can unleash combat power that increases exponentially.

"It's unstoppable... How could it possibly be stopped..."

As the approaching horde of monsters drew ever closer, a young hunter completely broke down. He dropped his psionic rifle and turned to run deeper into the base.

Just as he turned around...

"Pfft!"

An extremely sharp ice crystal spear fell from the sky, piercing his chest with remarkable precision and pinning him firmly to the cold concrete ground.

The snowstorm above the base suddenly stopped.

An extremely terrifying, chilling pressure, as if it could freeze even the soul, descended upon the No. 7 forward base as if it were a tangible force.

All the hunters who were firing felt their blood freeze instantly, and even their fingers, which were about to pull the trigger, became stiff and unable to bend.

They looked up in alarm.

Hundreds of meters above the ground, the Changbai Mountain Tiger King, which was over twenty meters long and covered with ice-blue innate array patterns, actually stood in mid-air!

Beneath its feet, crystal-clear frost clouds naturally condensed, supporting its massive, mountain-like body.

A Nascent Soul stage demon! He walks on the void, his magical power arising spontaneously!

"roar!"

The Tiger King looked down at the steel fortress from its high perch, its eyes filled with the cold indifference of a superior. It slowly raised one of its giant paws and slammed it down on the five-meter-thick black steel gate of the base.

"Snap!!!"

A giant icy claw, the size of half a football field, formed from pure, extremely cold spiritual energy, appeared out of thin air and slammed down on the city gate with overwhelming force!

The formidable black steel city gate, touted as being able to withstand a small nuclear explosion, instantly had its internal metal molecular structure completely destroyed by the extreme cold upon contact with the icy giant claw, becoming as fragile as glass. Then, under the terrifying kinetic energy of the giant claw, the city gate shattered into a shower of ice shards!

The city has fallen.

"Awooo!!!!"

The monstrous beast army, poised to unleash its power, let out a bloodthirsty howl and surged into the base through the breach in the city gate like a flood bursting its banks.

A massacre, a one-sided massacre with no suspense whatsoever.

Those mortals who usually considered themselves hunters were now utterly reduced to lambs to the slaughter. Their crude exoskeletons were easily torn apart by the demonic beasts' claws and magic, and blood stained the white snow.

The commander, trapped beneath the exoskeleton, watched in despair as his men were devoured alive by the monstrous beasts. He knew it was all over. Not just Base 7, but the entire Changbai Mountain defense line would fall tonight.

Just as he was about to bite down on the poison in his tooth socket and commit suicide.

The Tiger King, which was in mid-air, suddenly and slowly landed in the center of the blood-soaked square.

The surrounding demonic beasts, which had been frantically slaughtering their prey, instantly ceased their actions upon sensing the Tiger King's arrival. Like the most loyal guards, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Tiger King walked up to the commander with elegant yet imposing steps.

Its massive head lowered, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on the tiny human. It sniffed, seemingly trying to discern the metallic and cheap elixirs emanating from the commander.

The commander trembled uncontrollably, thinking he would be bitten in two by that gaping maw at any moment.

However, the tiger king did not open its mouth.

A strange, vibrating sound, like two rough pieces of metal rubbing against each other, came from deep within its throat. The sound was extremely hoarse, even carrying a hint of awkwardness, as if it had just learned to speak.

Immediately afterwards, in the commander's pupils, which contracted in extreme horror.

This powerful Nascent Soul stage demon, who dominated Changbai Mountain, actually opened its mouth slightly and uttered a sentence in an extremely stiff yet remarkably clear "human language".

"You... have crossed the line."

These five simple words, like five thunderclaps, exploded in the commander's mind!

Speaking human language!!!

What does this mean?

This means that the demon race is no longer just a group of beasts that kill based on instinct. They have acquired the ability to learn and the basics of civilization to communicate! They have truly become an intelligent race capable of vying with humans for dominance of the Earth!

"You...you..." The commander's teeth chattered, and he couldn't finish a sentence.

The Tiger King seemed unsatisfied with the stiff human words. It shook its head and spoke again. This time, its pronunciation was much smoother, even carrying a kind of imposing authority.

"Tell...your king."

Tiger King raised his head, his gaze passing over the dilapidated base and looking south towards the heartland of human civilization, covered by steel and neon lights.

"From this day forward, the mountains and forests belong to our people."

"Those who cross the line shall die."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger King turned around abruptly.

"roar!!!"

It looked up and let out a long howl.

The next second, the entire army of monsters in the Changbai Mountains retreated like the receding tide, following their king, and orderly withdrew from the No. 7 forward base, disappearing back into the vast sea of ​​ice and snow.
