Chapter 561 Did it turn around?
In the dark tunnel, there were no human firing positions, no fortifications, nothing at all.
But it was this "nothing at all" that made Kogas uneasy.
That sense of danger was no longer as faint as before, but felt like being pricked by a needle.
Danger!
Extremely dangerous!
But that feeling is so vague, so hard to grasp, so hard to explain.
Kogas narrowed his eyes.
He fought on his home planet for thousands of years.
He fought his way up from the lowest level of cannon fodder to the eighth-tier demon god, relying on more than just strength.
His intuition never failed him.
Every time this feeling arises, it means that real death is approaching.
"..."
He remained silent for a moment, then continued digging forward.
boom!
Hundreds of tons of rock were shattered, and the tunnel extended forward by more than ten meters.
The sense of danger intensified.
The tunnel continues to advance.
The feeling of being pricked by needles intensified.
It's obvious.
With each step closer, the danger increases.
This wasn't his imagination; there really was something waiting for him ahead.
That thing could be a fatal threat to him!
Kogas remained motionless, his hundred-meter-tall body standing tall in the underground tunnel.
His domain awareness is like an invisible net, subtly sensing the danger and trying to pinpoint its source.
He found it very quickly.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a very small thing.
It was very small, about the size of his toes.
This little thing stopped an eighth-tier demon god in his tracks.
Kogas narrowed his eyes, a chill running up his spine.
He had only experienced this feeling a handful of times in his life.
Each time, it was when facing an existence of the same or even higher level that I experienced that kind of life-threatening fear.
Now, what gives him this feeling is a dead thing created by a group of ants.
Kogas's brain was working at lightning speed.
The eighth-tier demon god Orenus must have died at the hands of this unknown weapon from this technological civilization.
Yax said this was no ordinary, low-level civilization.
He didn't take it seriously at the time.
Now he believes it.
"Hmm..."
Kogas let out a low hiss.
It wasn't a roar, but rather a kind of instinctive howl, similar to that of an animal cornered into a dead end.
He was not reconciled.
He was a mighty eighth-tier demon god who swept across several worlds and annihilated countless civilizations.
From the moment he set foot on this planet, his army was bombed so badly that it could not even show its face on the ground.
The underground burrowing dragon was also blown up, and even his three seventh-tier direct subordinates were killed.
And now, even he himself is being blocked by that explosive device and dares not move forward.
What's the difference between him and those cannon fodder?
This thought brought Kog'Maw's anger to its peak:
These ants only know this one trick from beginning to end!
But it was this very move that made him afraid to go any further.
"Aww!!!"
Kogas suddenly tilted his head back and let out a furious roar.
The sound waves reflected back and forth in the narrow tunnel, causing the entire tunnel to tremble violently.
Then, his massive body turned around in the tunnel and began to walk back.
Every step was filled with extreme resentment.
He's not stupid.
His instincts told him that the thing posed a deadly threat, and he couldn't possibly go and touch it anyway.
Would you risk your life for a human nest?
not worth it.
He also has countless troops; that's how cannon fodder are used.
Kogas retreated back to the surface along the giant tunnel he had dug, at a much faster speed than he had come.
The biting wind blew into the cracks of the shell, and the polar sunlight was dim under the dust of the nuclear winter.
He stood on the icy plain, his crimson eyes looking down at the tunnel entrance below.
With the domain perception extended, the distribution of demonic forces within a radius of tens of kilometers was fully visible.
Seventeen earth-burrowing dragons are moving in all directions underground, with eleven of them digging towards the human underground city.
not enough.
Far from enough.
Kog'Gath issued a mental command, ordering all the burrowing dragons to turn towards the nest.
He wanted to see whether there were more cannon fodder from the demon race or more explosives in this human nest.
After the command was issued, the earth-drilling dragons within a radius of hundreds of kilometers changed direction and, like giant earthworms that had smelled blood, converged on the location of Tianxiong Underground City from all directions.
The demon race excels at attrition warfare.
This tactic wore down countless powerful civilizations.
Moreover, the demons are very patient; the Terra civilization is a prime example.
For nearly two hundred years, they have been using demon cannon fodder to deplete Terra's manpower.
The higher-ranking demons, on the other hand, preserve their strength to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
This is the dumbest, most foolish, but also the most effective way.
Kogas intends to deplete the explosives in this human nest and wear down the defenses.
When he could no longer produce anything that could be blown up, he would personally go down and stuff every living creature into his mouth.
Chew it thoroughly!
……
Tianxiong Underground City.
The underground vault of the Tianxiong branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Daxia.
"It...turned around?"
The adjutant stared at the surveillance footage on the screen, incredulous.
In the scene, the hundred-meter-tall demon is rapidly retreating along the tunnel it dug itself.
Before long, it returned to the ground.
"Holy crap?"
One of the technicians couldn't help but blurt out two words.
Everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered.
An eighth-tier demon god personally dug a tunnel for an hour, and it was only a few kilometers away from the city, but then he just quit.
"Is it scared?" a young staff officer asked tentatively.
"Don't talk nonsense." The old staff officer frowned.
"What's an eighth-tier demon god afraid of? It can block missiles on the ground like it blocks rain."
"Then why did it turn around?"
No one can answer that.
Lin Shigong remained silent, his gaze never leaving the screen.
After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"It noticed."
All eyes turned to him.
"It sensed the threat of antimatter bombs."
Previously, Da Xia had confirmed from the battle in Terra that high-ranking demons could sense danger through their sixth sense.
The stronger an organism is, the more acutely it senses danger; this is easy to understand.
This is also why Daxia doesn't turn antimatter bombs into missiles.
Such a precious countermeasure weapon, there are only three in total. If the enemy senses the danger in advance and avoids it, the bomb will be wasted.
Only by luring the opponent into a trap, to a point where they cannot escape, can you be certain of a fatal blow.
The adjutant was the first to react, his expression a mixture of emotions.
"That means... it's not coming in."
"Um."
"Then we're safe for now."
"Um."
"But..." The adjutant's lips twitched.
"What do we do with this antimatter bomb?"
The good news is, they won't die.
The bad news is that the demon god doesn't have to die either.
For a time, everyone was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
To be precise, it was three parts joy and seven parts sorrow.
It's good to be alive, of course.
However, the presence of an eighth-tier demon god on the surface poses a tremendous threat, and sooner or later it will cause even greater losses to humanity.
"Report!"
A technician was typing on a military-grade laptop:
"The seismic wave monitoring system has detected a large number of new earthquake sources!"
"Six new 'Drilling Dragon' signals have been added in the northeast direction! Four new signals have been added in the southwest direction!"
"Including the four remaining... there are now a total of fourteen earth-burrowing dragons advancing towards Tianxiong City!!"
