17: Enter the inner city!
Jiang Rong hadn't recovered from her shock yet.
She saw Song Ming walk towards the tightly shut city gate, completely unguarded.
She quickly composed herself and ran to follow him.
"What skill did you use just now? The Rank 20 Gatekeeper was instantly killed by one move from you!"
Song Ming, however, had no intention of answering her.
He walked to the city gate.
He then took out a key made of white bone from his backpack.
This was loot dropped from the Gatekeeper.
Its main purpose was to open the Demon City's gate.
Besides that, there was also a top-tier blue equipment.
Canine Tooth Dagger.
It was exclusive equipment for assassins.
Song Ming naturally had no interest in it; he would just list it on the trading platform and sell it later.
As he inserted the bone key into the lock on the center of the city gate.
The gate of the Demon City immediately opened.
Revealing a series of very peculiar, even ugly, buildings behind it.
But what was strange was that.
Even after Song Ming and Jiang Rong entered the city, they didn't see any low-Rank demons attacking them.
"Something's not right. Logically, as soon as we enter the Demon City, we should be surrounded by a large number of low-Rank demons!" Jiang Rong said incredulously.
"Don't panic, this is just a normal phenomenon!"
The area within three hundred meters of the city gate had already been cleared by one of Song Ming's skills.
Naturally, there were no low-Rank demons to harass them.
Song Ming led Jiang Rong further into the city.
Along the way.
He released several more Soul Extinguishing Auras.
Those low-Rank demons died before they even saw Song Ming's face.
They all turned into his experience points.
The only passage from the outer city to the inner city was located in the central plaza of the city.
There was a teleportation array there.
Through it, one could directly teleport into the inner city suspended above the mountain range.
Here, four Rank 18 Demon Attendants guarded it.
Only by killing all of them could one gain the qualification to enter the inner city.
Just as Song Ming and Jiang Rong arrived at the central plaza.
A blood-red pillar of light suddenly lit up on the teleportation array.
Connecting to the inner city above.
Then, a massive, mountain-like figure walked out from the blood-red light pillar.
At least five meters tall, the Flesh Mountain Demon wriggled out from the center of the teleportation array.
Its body was covered in human-head-sized tumors.
Layers of dark green fat rippled and rolled, forming waves of green flesh as it wriggled!
"Ugly humans, dare to invade the Demon City! I will flay your skin and hang it on the city wall!"
Song Ming looked at the Flesh Mountain Demon, his eyes showing no fluctuation.
Because in his eyes, these monsters were no different from the corpses lying on the ground.
At the same time, information about the Flesh Mountain Demon appeared before him.
【Flesh Mountain Demon: Bogang】
【Type: Elite Monster】
【Rank: 20】
【HP: 39100】
【Strength: 400】
【Agility: 100】
【Spirit: 100】
【Physique: 490】
【Defense: 480】
【Skills: Flesh Bomb Impact, Physical Damage Reduction, Sonic Attack, Flesh Bomb.】
Song Ming glanced at the Flesh Mountain Demon's various attributes.
"As expected of an Elite Monster, it's more than twice as strong as the Rank 20 Gatekeeper from before!"
Jiang Rong, on the other hand, reminded him, "Be careful, this Elite Monster will enter its second phase when its HP is low."
"At that time, its total HP will not only increase by 50%, but it will also instantly recover to full health. In short, it's incredibly tanky and very difficult to kill!"
Song Ming was about to say something.
But he saw the four Demon Attendants already charging towards him.
He then frowned.
Soul Extinguishing Aura!
As a black ripple swept over the bodies of the four Demon Attendants.
It instantly annihilated their Souls.
Due to inertia, their bodies still rushed forward a long way.
Finally, they all fell to the ground with a thud.
The Flesh Mountain Demon was also about to make a move.
But it saw the black ripple suddenly appear before it.
The moment it touched its body.
An intense pain from the depths of its Soul suddenly swept through its entire body.
The feeling was as if someone was burning its Soul with a fierce fire.
"Ah!"
The Flesh Mountain Demon couldn't help but let out a mournful scream, and then its entire body crashed to the ground.
Making the ground tremble slightly!
【Killed Rank 18 Demon Attendant, gained experience +1800】
【Killed Rank 18 Demon Attendant, gained experience +1850】
......
【Killed Rank 20 Demon General Flesh Mountain Demon: Bogang, gained experience +3000】
【Inner City Teleportation Scroll acquired!】
Next, only the two Demon Generals and the Demon Lord of the inner city remained!
Song Ming took out the Teleportation Scroll from his backpack and walked towards the center of the teleportation array.
He said as he walked.
"By the way, didn't you say this Flesh Mountain Demon had a second phase? Why didn't I see it?"
Jiang Rong looked at the lump of Flesh Mountain Demon on the ground, feeling very speechless.
You instantly killed it.
What second phase could it possibly have?
And is there such a powerful skill in the Aura Master profession?
Instantly killing a Rank 20 Elite Monster!
What is this person's limit?
Jiang Rong followed Song Ming gloomily, and with a flash of white light.
The surrounding scenery immediately changed.
Replaced by a magnificent medieval castle.
It formed a stark contrast with the ugly, small buildings of the outer city.
They were currently standing on the spacious plaza in front of the castle.
And in front of them.
There were two Demon Generals, over three meters tall, leading at least twenty or more Demon Attendants, surrounding them completely.
【Horned Demon: Boqi】
【Type: Elite Monster】
【Rank: 20】
【Lust Serpent Demon: Boba】
【Type: Elite Monster】
【Rank: 20】
The attributes of these two Demon Generals were similar to those of the Flesh Mountain Demon.
However, their focus was different.
Just like the Horned Demon focused on Agility, the Lust Serpent Demon focused on Spirit.
But for Song Ming, it made no difference.
The only thing that made him a little disappointed was that he had already come to their home.
Yet the Demon Lord still hadn't shown up!
What an impolite fellow!
He didn't understand any rules of hospitality.
It seemed he would have to personally invite him out!
Without waiting for the demons to make any move, Song Ming unleashed another Soul Extinguishing Aura.
The surrounding circle of demons instantly died, falling to the ground.
The Souls of the two Demon Generals were also directly annihilated after a scream!
The time it took from Song Ming's arrival in the inner city to killing the two Demon Generals was less than a minute.
This couldn't even be called a battle.
It was completely a one-sided massacre!
At the same time, Jiang Rong's heart was very complex.
Because since she entered this dungeon, she had never made a move.
She, a Rank 20 Elf Archer, was being led through a dungeon by a Rank 10 Aura Master.
If she told anyone, they probably wouldn't believe her.
But that was the reality.
Watching Song Ming use one skill.
Whether they showed their heads or not, they were all instantly killed.
Jiang Rong was a bit numb at this point.
She felt like she wasn't here to grind monsters.
It was more like she was here for tourism!
