Chapter 690: Miscalculated Time
The battle ended quickly. Although the level nine undead beings in Zhao Hai's hands were at a disadvantage when facing other level nine experts, they showcased their formidable combat power against the lower-ranked dark beings and undead beings. After all, level nine and level eight were entirely different concepts.
Once all the dark beings and undead beings were dealt with, Zhao Hai continued to fly deeper into the Demon Abyss, and soon they arrived at the valley's bottom.
Upon reaching the bottom of the Demon Abyss, the first thing Zhao Hai noticed was a spatial rift. From this rift, black gas was surging out. Fortunately, the rift wasn't large, measuring less than a meter long and about half a meter wide, only capable of allowing a person to awkwardly squeeze through; it was impossible to bring anything larger through.
Centered around this spatial rift was a massive magic circle glowing with white light, specifically the void formation in the blood void formation.
Zhao Hai gazed at this spatial rift, wanting to see how it differed from his own spatial rift. After observing for a long time, he couldn't find any significant differences; it was merely a gap suspended in mid-air, resembling a hole punctured in a canvas.
Behind this hole, however, was a vast void; nothing could be seen inside, and even light seemed to be swallowed once it entered.
While Zhao Hai was examining the spatial rift, he suddenly realized he was surrounded by ten members of the Demon Race.
Zhao Hai was no stranger to the Demon Race members. He glanced at the ten people and suddenly smiled slightly, saying, "To the opponents of the Demon Race, don't worry. I am not here to disrupt the blood void formation; I will be waiting for you in the Demon City."
Zhao Hai's demeanor left the ten Demon Race members stunned. They looked at him in confusion, unable to understand what he meant.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled lightly, "There's no need to be nervous, everyone. Typically, I address people from other races as brothers or friends. However, since you from the demon realm are here to invade the Ark Continent, you are my enemies, and I naturally cannot call you friends or brothers. There's no need to worry, I'm really not here to disrupt the blood void formation. I know that once the blood void formation is activated, it cannot be stopped. Even if I wanted to prevent it now, it would be too late. Therefore, I will set up a formation in the Demon City and await your attack."
The Demon Race members stared blankly at Zhao Hai for a while. Finally, one of them said, "No matter who you are, you have earned our respect. We will defeat you on the battlefield and make you aware of the power of the Demon Army."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly. He also learned from Cai'er that the Demon Race, while aggressive, respected warriors. It’s important to note that they respected warriors, not necessarily strong individuals.
There is a distinction between a warrior and a strong person. A warrior may not always be a strong person, and a strong person is not necessarily a warrior. When you face a powerful enemy yet still choose to fight, you are a warrior. The Demon Race respects such warriors. They try to defeat them honorably, and that's their way of showing respect.
Berry also looked at Zhao Hai with some surprise. She noticed that he seemed to truly understand the demon realm, leaving her puzzled. She couldn't comprehend why a human would have such knowledge about the demon realm—it was unbelievable since no human had ever entered the demon realm.
At that moment, the leader among the ten Demon Race members turned to Berry and asked, "Berry, why are you with him? Do you intend to betray the demon god?"
Berry glanced at that Demon Race member and said, "I have not betrayed the demon god. I am merely adhering to the rules of our succubus clan. This person broke free from my mental attack, so according to our succubus clan's rules, I will marry him."
Hearing Berry say that, the Demon Race member was taken aback. As a member of the Demon Race, he naturally knew of the succubus clan's rules but never expected Zhao Hai to break free from Berry's mental attack.
