Chapter 689: The Weakness of Undead Beings
In the end, Tei and the others chose to remain still because Zhao Hai showed no intention of attacking. They felt it was best not to act at this moment.
Zhao Hai looked at the succubus who had arrived beside him, standing on the head of the bone dragon, and with a serious expression said, "You need to think carefully. I am the mediator among the various races in the Ark Continent and the first to stand up against the demon clan. If you truly marry me, then you will be enemies with your kin, the entire demon clan, and the whole demon realm."
The succubus glanced at Zhao Hai and coldly replied, "Even if you plan to kill everyone in the demon clan, I will help you sharpen your knife."
Zhao Hai was taken aback; he didn't know how to respond. However, he understood that this was not a time for sentimentality. He let out a sigh and turned to the succubus, "Are there still demon clan members ahead? Why are you here? Isn't the blood void formation supposed to be indestructible?"
The succubus looked at Zhao Hai and said, "We are here to guard the blood void formation. Although the blood void formation will activate early upon encountering destruction, we were still dispatched here to ensure it reaches its maximum effectiveness. However, not many were sent; there's only one from the Demon Flower Clan, one Flame Demon, and me. The rest are just the original dark beings in the Demon Abyss, which won’t be of much help. There's only ten members from the Demon Race guarding the blood void formation. If you advance further, those dark beings and undead beings will come out to stop you. However, among those dark beings and undead beings, only ten are ninth-level experts; the rest are below level eight, so they won't pose much of a threat to you. If you kill them all, the Demon Race members will come out to stop you and try to delay your destruction of the blood void formation. But it seems like you don't want to destroy the blood void formation, do you? Otherwise, you'd have attacked the blood array long ago. Why would you come all this way to attack the void formation?"
Zhao Hai smiled wryly and nodded, "You're right. I really don’t want to destroy the blood void formation. Instead of letting it activate early, it’s better to use these days to prepare. How much weaker is the power of the blood void formation when it activates early compared to a natural activation? By the way, I still don’t know your name."
The succubus looked at Zhao Hai and said, "My name is Berry. If the blood void formation is damaged and activates early, its power is reduced by about ten percent compared to a natural activation." Berry's voice had softened considerably since the beginning, losing its icy tone.
Zhao Hai, however, was not paying attention to that; he was contemplating how significant a ten percent reduction could be. Should he destroy the blood void formation now?
In the end, Zhao Hai decided not to destroy it for the time being. If he did so, the blood void formation would activate immediately, and the preparations in Demon City Castle were not complete yet. Although a ten percent reduction seemed significant, to Zhao Hai and his companions, it wouldn't make much difference.
Even if the size of the spatial rift decreased due to the weakened power of the blood void formation, considering the immense scale of the formation, it would still rip open a large spatial rift. The difference would only be that the demon clan could send in between ninety to one hundred thousand people at a time, which wouldn't have a major impact.
Berry looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "Do you really not want to destroy the blood void formation?"
Zhao Hai shook his head. "No, there's no point in destroying it. The purpose of this trip is to clear out the dark beings and undead beings in the Demon Abyss, preventing them from joining the demon army. I really don’t understand what the demon clan is thinking. What’s the use of reducing the power by ten percent? What difference does it make if the demon realm can send in a hundred thousand or ninety thousand?"
