Chapter 4 Demon King Arena(1/2)
A huge shadow enveloped Pei Renli, because the humanoid creature sitting next to him was almost twice as tall as him, and his tall body was like a screen.
The strong muscles propped up the blue-gray, unpleasant-looking skin, and also propped up the scars of various sizes and shapes remaining on the skin, making them look more distorted and deformed.
It is said to be a humanoid creature. In fact, the only part that resembles a human is its torso. The legs of this thing are closer to those of a sheep or an elk. They are covered with thick brown-black short hair and have hooves.
Because he was so tall, he had to raise his neck hard to see that above the torso was a bull's head with pale white auras in his eyes!
It would be fine if that was all, but this guy's arms are even more unique.
It's not claws or human arms, but several tentacles intertwined together, just like two large octopuses replaced the arms on the shoulders. The dark purple moist tentacles seem to be dripping mucus at any time, and the mouth of the bowl The large suckers twitched as the tentacles wriggled unconsciously. Pei Renli also noticed that each tentacle even had a row of things that might be eyes...
Pei Renli believes that he has a very strong receptive ability. You can see that he was not very panicked after discovering that he had traveled through time. He is also very receptive to various curious painting styles. After all, he is from the Internet age and has never seen any big storms. ?
——I’ve never seen this before!
Especially when this Ke style tauren is less than 30 centimeters away from him, and he can touch it at any time. If he is not pressed to the stand by some kind of force and cannot move, I am afraid that Pei Renli will not be able to move. My first reaction was to jump up and run quickly, which was really hard to resist.
I don't know if the other party is very sensitive to gazes. When Pei Renli looked at him with startled eyes, the other party also turned the bull's head and bent slightly to look at Pei Renli.
"Humans..."
Surprisingly, this guy's voice was actually very magnetic, like a bass with a bit of surprise.
"Why are you looking at me like I've seen a ghost?"
You are so humble. How can you be so good-looking?
Of course you can't say that.
Being able to communicate greatly weakens the feeling of terror, and the tone is quite friendly.
Pei Renli calmed down secretly, trying not to look at the other person's tentacles that twisted as the body moved, trying to imagine it as a talking cow, and treating it as a cow that had become a spirit.
"Sorry, I don't know what's going on."
This time the other party's doubts seemed to be getting deeper. Even though its face was like a bull's head and its eyes were filled with pale white light, Pei Renli really felt the other party's doubts.
"What's going on? Is this your first time... Oh!"
It suddenly realized it and explained:
"You are the new Demon King, right? No wonder, I clearly remember that there is an empty seat next to me."
"What is this place? And who are you...?"
"No, you're welcome."
Although he looked scary but seemed to be very warm and familiar, the Gram-type tauren waved his tentacles, as if waving his hands generously:
"I am the Demon King of Elegance. I haven't communicated with new people for a long time."
Elegant? That’s it?
Are there too many flaws?
"As for this place, we call it the Demon King's Arena."
"arena?"
"That's right."
He swept his tentacles left and right and pointed at the dark crowd he just saw sitting in the stands:
"These people you see are all devils."
“…..”
Shouldn't there be only one...
The place where Pei Renli appeared was a very typical large-scale stadium structure in terms of painting style. There was even a lawn in the center and a plastic track next to the lawn, and of course there were stands all around.
And if all the people in the stands were demon kings, the number would probably be in the tens of thousands.
After hearing the explanation from the self-proclaimed Demon King of Elegance, Pei Renli noticed that some of the guys in the stands near him were probably human beings, except for the strange dressing.
It belongs to the tauren.
But wait.
Since it is the Demon King's Arena, what is the purpose of it? Why did I suddenly feel as if I had traveled through time again?
Regarding these issues, the Elegant Demon King said:
"The hourglass on the Demon King's system is actually a countdown. When it flows, it will automatically teleport you here, and the Demon King's Arena..."
——Woo!
Pei Renli was listening attentively when a loud buzzer like an air raid siren interrupted the Elegant Demon King. The latter did not continue speaking, but pointed to the center of the field with his tentacle.
On the central lawn, Pei Renli saw a cylindrical thing rising from below, like an elevator used on the stage, and soon formed a high platform.
On the high platform, there is a human-like guy standing there. Because the distance is too far, without a telescope, Pei Renli's vision alone can only roughly make out the outline of a human figure, and cannot see more.
detail.
"Good morning, fellow devils!"
His voice is very loud. Maybe he has a microphone or something like that in his hand. Even if he is very far away, he can still hear it clearly.
"Scumbags on the left, let me see your malice!"
"Ohhhhh!"
The stand to his left immediately recalled the howling of ghosts and wolves, which was not a sound that humans should make.
"Monsters on the right, raise your hands!"
"Ohhhhh!!"
"You bastard in front! Did you do something bad today?"
"Ohhhhh!!!"
"Of course, I didn't forget the criminals behind, let's have fun!"
Pei Renli saw the man in the distance turn around and face his direction. For a moment, the Elegant Demon King who was talking to him just now also followed suit, beating his chest and shouting.
Feeling the cheers from the stands (if the howling of ghosts and wolves can be considered cheers), the people in the center of the field opened their arms:
"Welcome to the Demon King Arena, I am your old friend and the host of the arena! Let us continue to compete for the title and status of the strongest Demon King, the Demon King God!"
"Ohhhhhh!!!"
The atmosphere had been completely aroused. The guy who claimed to be the host waited for the roar to subside a little before continuing:
"First, let's look back at what happened in the past."
The host must have picked up a stack of speech scripts, but he was far away and could not see clearly.
"The members of the Vulture Gang were hit hard and thirty demon kings were killed. This must be a good thing done by the Diamond Gang. I have to say, the bastards of the Diamond Gang did a good job. I have long disliked the guys from the Vulture Gang.
Congratulations to all of you for your collective ranking increase by twenty places!"
The cheers this time were from a small group of people in the stands facing Pei Renli. Their appearance... is really hard to describe.
"In addition to the Vulture Gang, whose strength has been greatly reduced, there are also nearly two hundred Free Demon Kings who have unfortunately been eliminated. Let us cheer!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
The whole place once again fell into a frenzy of howling ghosts and howls, as if it was some good news.
"But don't worry, there are quite a few new members of His Majesty the Demon King joining recently, a total of six hundred. On behalf of the Demon King Arena, I would like to thank you for your support!"
Six hundred?
In this way, Pei Renli is only 1 in 600.
Are all these people time-travelers?
But then I thought about it, obviously there are no tauren like me on the earth. In other words, aren’t there too many demon kings?
With these thoughts running through his mind, the host in the middle of the venue threw away the manuscript:
"Let's start today's fight!"
With a snap, he seemed to snap his fingers, and a large piece of white curtain almost the size of a football field fell from the sky, unscientifically suspended in the center of the field. Such a huge area, and white, should be very conspicuous, but once
Pei Renli, who was staring at it without blinking, didn't see where it appeared from, which was very incredible.
Anyway, there is such a thing as time travel, how a giant curtain appears and what its purpose is really not the most important thing now.
Pei Renli suddenly had a bad premonition, which mainly depended on the few keywords he had heard so far.
For example, the Demon King's Arena, and let's start today's fight...
The huge white cloth that fell in the center of the field was like a screen used for a projector. Just as Pei Renli had a bad premonition, he saw that it was like a slot machine, and the words that could not be seen at all were rotating rapidly.
"The venue is...!"
The speed of text rotation begins to decrease and stops quickly:
"The Castle of Horror!"
"Ohhhhh!"
To be continued...
