Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 101: Then get a little closer

Views:

Looking at the adventurers not far away who were busy collecting treasures, Bai Jin looked up at Yang Yu and asked, "Are we a step too late after all?"

"No, on the contrary, the timing is just right." His eyes stayed on the ring that the purple short-haired warrior was playing with, and Yang Yu's mouth curled up slightly, "Iyas, Bai Jin, wait a moment, no matter what happens, don't act rashly. You will die."

"Dead?!" Iyas widened her eyes in shock.

Just as Iyas was about to ask Yang Yu what was going on, an adventurer who had packed up his treasures came up to the adventurer with short purple hair.

"Captain, we have packed our things. There are walls on all sides here. How are we going to get out of here?"

The adventurer with short purple hair raised the ring on his hand, with a smug look on his face. "If I remember correctly, many underground mazes have designs that teleport people to the outermost layer after defeating the guardian. If I'm not mistaken, this small ring is the switch that triggers the teleportation device."

As he spoke, the short-haired purple warrior gently pressed the switch on the ring.

Suddenly, the huge square ceiling projected an extremely dazzling light downwards.

These rays of light were like streams of water, washing over everyone's body, and everyone's body began to sink uncontrollably into the ground and fall down.

Yang Yu's voice rang in Iyas and Bai Jin's ears again, "Remember my words, don't act rashly, and don't show any murderous intent. Otherwise, you will really die."

The next moment, a strong light carried everyone through the ground, down to an unknown area.

This unknown area is wider than the area where Yang Yu and his team were just in. The rocks that emit faint light form a series of artificial hills, and they are in a canyon surrounded by those rockery.

Since it is underground, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a cave.

Because they suddenly entered darkness from the light, everyone suffered temporary blindness at the same time. The vision was pitch black and it took some time for them to adapt.

A loud voice suddenly sounded in the "cave," Welcome—the Raiders!"

The first one to recover was Iyas. She rubbed her eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

A huge black shadow blocked the exit of the "cave", like a small mountain, unable to be shaken.

The light next to the black shadow was very weak, and the shadow could not be seen clearly, but Iyas could feel a shock from the depths of her soul.

The shadow's resonant voice sounded again, "Answer my question - first of all, the first question -"

At this moment, a louder voice interrupted the black shadow's words.

"I didn't expect there was a guardian hiding here! Come with me, guys! We have dealt with minotaurs like that, and monsters like this one are just a little bigger, so we can definitely deal with them easily!"

The voice came from none other than the captain of the seven-member adventurer team.

Standing in the center of the cave, he picked up the warhammer in his hand without saying a word and rushed towards the huge monster with his teammates behind him.

In their opinion, the correct way to conquer this dungeon is to solve the puzzle of the dungeon, defeat the ghosts to gain powerful strength, and then use this magical power to defeat all the monsters in the dungeon.

As long as this gain exists, they can defeat the monster in front of them just like they defeated the Minotaur.

However, with every step they took, the flesh and blood on their bodies would turn into dust, and finally the sand would fall all over the ground. The armor and weapons collided with each other, making extremely crisp sounds and rolling everywhere.

A moment, just a moment.

The purple short-haired warrior who launched the attack and his team all turned into dust silently. They themselves did not even realize that their lives turned into sand and passed away at will.

"What the hell is going on? You can't win against a monster like this without even moving a muscle!"

The trembling legs were finally unable to support Iyas's delicate body. She collapsed to the ground with only endless despair in her pupils.

From the moment she arrived here, her life seemed to have been completely controlled by the unknown monster. In a moment, it seemed as if it would be wiped out.

When she was completely desperate, Iyas saw the man who brought her here and started to move.

The man took a nonchalant step forward, as if he was oblivious to everything that had just happened, and walked towards the unshakable black shadow without fear.

"Wait." Iyas' throat was hoarse, but she still tried her best to squeeze out the words from her mouth, "You will be killed."

Will be killed.

These few words seem so pale and powerless in front of a truly strong person and in front of true despair.

"Iyas,"

The sudden sound beside her made Iyas's gaze subconsciously turn to Bai Jin.

The thin girl did not fall down.

Her shaking hands tightly grasped the smooth wooden staff, struggling to support her frail body. Her knees were slightly bent and trembling as well, but she did not allow herself to fall to the ground powerlessly. Her eyes followed Yang Yu's receding figure, "Think about what he just said."

There was no despair in Bai Jin's eyes, only firm belief and unspeakable expectation.

Don't act rashly, or you will die - in other words, as long as you don't act rashly, you won't die.

Suddenly realizing this, Iyas looked at Yang Yu again and suddenly discovered that Yang Yu's steps were light and cheerful, even a little impatient, which was completely unlike the pace of a person who was worried that he might die at any time.

What did he understand? Why was he still so excited

After stepping onto the stairs, no, even longer before, Iyas felt strange. She had never seen even a trace of fear on this man's face.

The smile on his face before entering the maze again was as if he had already controlled everything.

If I had the same knowledge as he did, and knew what he knew, would I be able to stand up and face my fear like he did

In an instant, Iyas felt that the burden on her shoulders was suddenly lightened, and there was a hint of surprise and expectation in her eyes when she looked at Yang Yu.

The huge black shadow opened a pair of azure eyes and looked at Yang Yu who was coming towards him. The loud voice echoed again in the wide room.

"Oh my god - I never thought there would be a human who would dare to approach me."

Yang Yu's eyes met those blue eyes without fear, "What if I don't come closer and I miss your question later?"

“Haha.” The black shadow laughed. “You are really brave. Then move a little closer.”

“I couldn’t ask for more.”
