The Great Demon King

Chapter 111 "The sound of temptation "

The surface of the swamp was vast, with bones from humans and fine creatures poking out from the gray mud. It looked like quite a number of dead humans and beasts were inside. There were also various ugly and strange plants growing inside the mud. Sharp spikes grow on the branches of plants as they wobble aimlessly in the air. Everything looks so scary and horrible.

Large trees around the perimeter were located on the edge of the mud. When some leaves landed in the mud, they would disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if there was a demon hidden at the bottom of the mud that swallowed everything. Waves of disgusting odors were expelled from the mud and assaulted the senses, causing the water witch Aphrodite and the female elf Nia to furrow their brows and cover their mouths, looking extremely uncomfortable.

When everyone's gazes landed on the swamp, Trunks continued to explain, “The plants that live in them are all very dangerous. The swamp would engulf all the humans and beasts exploring, and the foul smell in the deep area also contained a slow poison that consumed one's energy. Medusa who was hiding inside this swamp appeared to her liking and was extremely difficult to deal with. ”

Han Shuo's gaze focused solemnly on the huge swamp. His forehead wrinkled after hearing Trunks' explanation as he personally weighed his options on how to proceed.

“We do not have the ability to fly and will sink to the ground as soon as we set foot into the swamp. According to what you told us, Medusa lived in a swamp and was fully able to hide herself under the swamp. It could attack or retreat and hold all the advantages. The level of difficulty for us to fight inside the swamp is too great, “ Han Shuo said low after he thought about it for a moment.

Glancing at Han Shuo, Trunks said, “Medusa's strength greatly increased within the swamp. Even a manticore, a magical being also of the first rank would be helpless. We don't have the ability to fly and won't be able to injure much at all, but if Medusa comes out of the swamp, I think all of us combined will be able to firmly win over Medusa. but according to my knowledge of Medusa, it will not leave the swamp easily.”

“Is there anything that has a greater chance of attracting Medusa?” Han Shuo asked.

Shaking his head, Trunks said, “I don't know. Medusa can emit incredible sounds, and these sounds have the power to attract humans and beasts. It would suddenly attack once a human or beast approached the swamp and attract its prey. Thus, Medusa was not afraid of not having enough food. I don't know what else is needed apart from this. ”

After being silent for a while, Han Shuo suddenly smiled, “Because this is the case, we can only use the most stupid method. We will stand guard here and kill its prey as soon as Medusa makes a sound to lure its prey. I thought it would not be able to hold back the hunger after some discovery that no prey was approaching it and would come out of the swamp. We'll move in together and kill him then. ”

“Yes, although this method is stupid, there is no other way. Manticore Me and I are not afraid of Medusa as long as she leaves the swamp. If we add you all into the mix, I think it's impossible for him to escape death. ”

“Alright, then let's make our preparations.”

Several traps and simple fences are set up around the swamp, with everyone finally realizing how all that pervades this task is when they start doing it. The swamp was quite spacious and it was quite difficult and complete to fully maintain it on all sides. The group spent a lot of time before finishing their preparations.

After resting for one night, everyone's ears were plugged in the next morning as they watched the surroundings in the position that had been discussed earlier. The swamp area is too vast. Even with eight people and one manticore apart, they still spread rather thinly. Han Shuo also released his three original demons and used them to patrol around the swamp, constantly paying attention to the situation.

The group waited attentively for several days on the first day, but found no Medusa hunting prey. As Trunks said, the hunt for Medusa was enough to feed for more than ten days. The group had no way of estimating when it was last hunted and so could only continue waiting with this brute force method.

Medusa did not hunt any more on the second day, with the original demon Han Shuo discovering that a portion of the mud inside the swamp suddenly surged upwards on the afternoon of the third day, revealing the form of Medusa inside.

Just as the name suggests, many of Medusa's hair strands are made from living snakes. These snakes elongated and extended in all directions of the swamp like tentacles. The Medusa feature is actually a beautiful woman. Her slender eyebrows and cherry lips were quite pretty, but her mouth opened to reveal a sinister line of fangs. His slightly revealed lower body was the body of a snake. The ugly brown covered her long-lasting and thick skin, forming an indescribable and bizarre contrast with her striking face.

Although he displayed a sinister line of fangs from his open mouth, Medusa emitted an elegant and silent voice of temptation. Han Shuo and the others had long since put up their ears, but could still faintly hear the sounds. They all felt their hearts tremble, as if they were experiencing a perplexing sense of attraction and had a desire to investigate the source.

Fortunately they could only hear a little and benefit from Trunks' repeated reminder this morning. This was how they kept their heads and did not walk towards the swamp, guards stood firm where they were, their gazes constantly circling in all directions and always paying attention to the movements around them.

Slowly, the sound of a small magical creature attracted to the previously calm swamp went to them. They ran over happily as they subconsciously traveled towards the swamp. Some of the larger magical beasts also approached from a distance.

Han Shuo and Trunks looked at each other, temporarily not activating the trap they had prepared beforehand. The magical creatures that appeared did not have much destructive power, so there was no need to use traps. Everyone dispersed and carefully avoided the obstacles from the traps, made their moves mercilessly and began to hunt the small magical creature that was slowly approaching.

It seems that Trunks' injuries have recovered well. His efficiency was the highest among all of them, and it was as if his body was another dangerous magical creature as he stepped on the trees and bushes, carrying with him waves of blood. He completely cleansed the magical creature, which first approached, in a short time.

With the help of the Edge Demonslayer, although Han Shuo's speed was slower than Trunks, he was still much faster than the others. The Demonslayer Edge was like a magical machine that plucked life as it spun around and easily slaughtered magical fifth and sixth level creatures.

In this brief pause, Han Shuo pulled out of the soft cloth that connected his ears and stood in his place with a serious expression. The deeply shocked Trunks, who was beside him, as the latter made some hand gestures to Han Shuo.

The graceful and silent cry seemed to be that of a lover who muttered low in her ears, giving one an uncontrollable urge to want to go into her gentle embrace and to bond with her, voicing the anguish of longing. This strange temptation instantly seeped into Han Shuo's mind, creating an illusion for him right away, as if it was Fanny who called out to him again and again in the swamp behind him. This caused him to lift his legs uncontrollably and step towards the swamp behind him.

However, he only took a few steps after lifting his foot when the thoughts in Han Shuo's mind slightly changed. After that, indomitable would immediately stop Han Shuo where he stood. His body remained motionless where he was as he defended against the attacks of temptation with stubborn will.

After training his magical yuan for a long period of time, Han Shuo had complete confidence in his determination. The magic aura and battle were useless in resisting the temptation emitted by the voice of Medusa, the only thing that could deny him was his stubborn and tenacious determination.It was precisely Han Shuo feeling that his current self would be able to withstand it that he firmly handed over the soft cloth cover. He was trying to see if Medusa's attraction could shake his unwavering will.

The final result showed that after training his magical yuan for such a long period of time, he had indeed developed a strong, inhuman desire. The temptation-filled cry proved to be teasing at first, but it slowly began to lose its effect, until Han Shuo was no longer affected.

The footsteps he started to take backwards once again moved forward with determination, his facial expression carefree and natural. He clearly did not suffer anymore under the temptation of the alluring voice. The tree trunk had watched in astonishment from afar when he saw Han Shuo struggling with some difficulties at first and then easily handling things in the end. He raised his thumb from afar, acknowledging Han Shuo's stubborn will.

Five to six level three and four magical beasts once again appeared in everyone's line of sight. There were also two ice eagles circling overhead. Han Shuo, Trunks, and the others looked at each other in surprise and vigilance, concentrating all their concentration on the low-spinning snow eagles.

The ice eagle was clearly influenced by Medusa and looked like it intended to perch in a swamp. They wouldn't fly so low otherwise. Grasping the arrow in his hand, Han Shuo aimed at the stretched throat of one of the ice eagles and the bolt accurately pierced through the air.

At the same time, Nia and the other two witches moved, eyeing the other ice hawks. The ice eagles were quite large, and Medusa did not need to come out for at least five or six days if they fell into the swamp. This would waste all their previous efforts, and thus the group absolutely could not let the ice eagle land in the swamp.

The awesomeness of the enchanted frost eagle was clearly not what it used to be. Han Shuo's bolt pierced through his neck and shot him from the sky. On the other hand, Nia's attack and the other two witches were rather weak due to the distance. Some of Nia's arrows were stuck on the ice eagle's body, but it didn't seem to cause much damage.

Upon seeing the injured ice eagle flying overhead and heading towards the swamp, Han Shuo became a little anxious. The arrow that has been fired takes a little time before the bolt can be loaded and the arrow automatically starts operating again. He will never make it in time. Just as he was planning on taking out the Demonslayer Edge, Trunks suddenly swung a short sword inspired by the fighting aura of Trunks, sinking into the spine of the ice eagle.

Suffering from the severe damage from the short sword, the speed of the frozen eagle's flapping wings dropped noticeably. It slowly began to descend as the manticore shot out like lightning from a distance, suddenly appearing in front of the ice eagle and slashing with extremely powerful claws, tearing the ice eagle's neck apart.

The magical creatures on the ground were all cleared with the effort of traps and three swordsmen. Just as everyone had heaved a sigh of relief, an elven girl suddenly appeared in the distance. The beauty of the fairy maid was pure and unadorned. He was wearing luxurious clothes as he quickly approached Han Shuo's direction with a blank expression on his face.

Horror gripped him, Han Shuo immediately shot and blocked the footsteps of the advancing female elves. He opened his mouth to say, “Stop, hurry and stop!”

It was a pity that the enchanted butler had clearly lost his mind and completely ignored Han Shuo's words as he continued walking towards the swamp.

“Not everyone has the same determination as you. Stop trying to persuade her and just grab her! ”The rod could not help but hold back when he saw the female elf approaching the swamp step by step and Han Shuo was still trying to persuade him.

Han Shuo peeling off and finally reached out at lightning speed after seeing the female elf making her way closer to the swamp, wrapping her in his arms and pulling her away from the perimeter, ignoring her struggle.

“Brother ... brother!” The female elf shouted continuously and struggled continuously in Han Shuo's embrace. When she discovered that she could not break free, her little fist hit hard on Han Shuo's chest as she wailed sadly, “Kakak.”

The extent of this attack was neither painful nor amused in Han Shuo's chest. She held onto the female elf tightly as she walked further away from the swamp. Medusa's elegant voice became increasingly hasty, but no more humans or ferocious beasts appeared around her.

After a while, Medusa finally lethargicly stopped the call of temptation and her body, hidden within the swamp, slowly revealed itself.
