Chapter 92: The Blade Cage

Qin Hao did not spell it out. In any case, these people would come to understand in time.

Countless spatial black holes would be established on Earth, and ever more prey-creatures would keep arriving, leaving humankind less and less room to survive.

From six billion down to the final lone survivor, only twenty years would pass.

He could only hope that, within that limited span of time, Qin Hao would become a deity and preserve even the faintest thread of human bloodline.

As she thought this, Zi Hui’s voice suddenly rose.

“A spatial black hole has appeared.”

That was not something to celebrate.

It meant that more prey-creatures had emerged, and at a place like this it was quite possibly the very spatial black hole they had been painstakingly searching for.

The passage through which the ancient demon civilization released its prey-creatures.

A massive spatial rift, five meters across, opened up, and one Fire Demon after another crawled out from within.

Fire Demons were born in environments of searing heat; if such creatures suddenly descended upon an icebound planet, they would very likely die outright.

Thus the gods would wrap them in stellar energy, granting them the ability to fight and adapt to the new world.

But that protective veil could only keep them alive. If any outside force interfered, their combat strength would naturally be greatly reduced.

Just like now.

The suddenly appearing Fire Demons were greeted by a climate as cold as snow that never melted year-round.

Qin Hao’s thought tendrils formed an icy zone, killing these Fire Demons the instant they touched down.

Bang!

One Fire Demon was frozen rigid, plunged from midair, and then shattered against the ground.

One after another, they fell like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

These Fire Demons could not resist the power of a third-tier evolver, and died in droves.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses of the Fire Demons piled up like a mountain.

Beside him, Zi Hui controlled the death puppets to haul the bodies away, making it easier for Qin Hao to fight and set traps. Even the death puppets themselves began to freeze in the bitter cold.

At that moment, a distinctive figure stepped out from the passage.

A green body, a humped back, and eyes full of venomous hatred.

It was a Voodoo Demon.

“Freeze!”

In an instant, a surge of even more powerful elemental force erupted. Qin Hao forcibly entombed the Voodoo Demon within a block of ice.

The Voodoo Demon lost all vitality, and most importantly, its virus did not have a chance to spread into the air.

Soon after, several Wind Demons also fell into the trap and died in the blink of an eye.

The spatial black hole kept spewing Fire Demons, and Qin Hao was slaughtering them without end.

As the total number of Fire Demons on Blue Star kept falling, more and more had to be sent in. Even Voodoo Demons were continuously entering the spatial black hole, yet the losses could never be made up.

Because the moment they descended, Qin Hao stripped them of their lives.

Within the Hero System, the number of Fire Demons Qin Hao had slain kept climbing. Though he had not gained many hero points, victory was already in sight.

At last, the kill count reached ten thousand.

In the void, a scarlet light suddenly appeared and branded itself upon Qin Hao, impossible for him to evade.

It was a curse from the ancient demon civilization.

A new prompt appeared in the Hero System as well.

Ding. Congratulations on obtaining the title "Fire Demon Butcher." Having cumulatively slain ten thousand first-tier evolved Fire Demons, you have been marked by the ancient demon civilization. In your area, Fire Demons will greatly decrease, while stronger creatures will begin to appear.

Ding. The Peace Alliance will shield your aura from being sensed. You may freely enable or disable the title.

At last, it was done.

Qin Hao naturally chose to activate the title.

There was no need for the Peace Alliance to intervene and suppress the curse. At that moment, a new layer of scarlet mist rose around him. Within that faint haze lingered the scent of flame, frightening the Fire Demons on the far side of the spatial black hole so badly that they fled in panic, no longer daring to enter this passage.

But the Wind Demons sensed the power of a god and surged into the spatial black hole.

The instant they emerged, the ice did not immediately freeze their bodies, so they scattered in all directions. The Wind Demons were astonishingly fast, like a gale itself.

In a flash, Wind Demons had already neared the ice wall.

Just then, they heard a heavy thud.

It sounded as though something weighty had struck the ground.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

Five enormous iron spheres landed upon the wheat field, already trampled beyond recognition.

Then, under the force of thought, those iron spheres swiftly transformed into blades sharp beyond measure, and rose sharply upward.

They were like long sabers piercing the sky.

The razor tips stabbed into the earth, extended to a height of six meters, and then closed inward.

What had once been an icy wall prison had now become something like a birdcage.

Yet the material of this birdcage was unimaginably sharp, and every Wind Demon that tried to escape could only be lacerated by it.

Was that all?

Of course not.

Zi Hui watched as more blades crossed through the birdcage, and in an instant the Wind Demons were pierced through.

Then dozens of blades swept past, and dozens of Wind Demons were butchered, reduced to fragments.

The air was instantly filled with the stench of blood.

At this moment, the cage was like a meat grinder, becoming a hell for the Wind Demons.

And the mastermind behind it all was naturally Qin Hao.

Perhaps before long, the title of Wind Demon Butcher would also rest upon Qin Hao’s head.

At this time, besides the Wind Demons, Voodoo Demons appeared once more.

After all, fifteen Voodoo Demons had already died, and fifteen more had to be replenished. Yet these Voodoo Demons were quickly cut down by the blades as well.

As they were continuously replenished, more than a hundred Voodoo Demons died.

At that moment, the spatial black hole suddenly shrank, and then abruptly closed.

What remained on the scene were only the corpses of over a thousand Wind Demons, along with the remains of those Voodoo Demons that had been shredded apart.

It was over.

By then, many heroes had been guarding nearby, ready to prevent any Wind Demons or Voodoo Demons from escaping. But after seeing that cage of blades, they no longer entertained such thoughts.

At that moment, they also came to understand Qin Hao’s strength.

Even though they were all heroes, these people still contributed their own thought power.

And while Qin Hao was fighting, Zi Hui used the Eye of All Sects to synchronize the images and broadcast them across the major cities.

Within Qin Hao’s Hero System, the hero points kept surging upward, and had already accumulated to three million.

Not an especially large amount, but Qin Hao could no longer earn hero points by killing ordinary creatures, so this was not a bad method.

“I’ve absorbed the blood of these creatures. Then we’ll burn the remains.”

It was a pity that some of the Wind Demon flesh had also been contaminated by the Voodoo Demons’ venom; this was absolutely not something that could be eaten.

Qin Hao activated the Devouring Gene Art, and the Wind Demons’ blood was rapidly absorbed, countless genes pouring into his body.

Broken gene fragments were shattered, rearranged, and refined, leaving behind the perfect genes that were useful to Qin Hao.

Then Qin Hao gained a new element as well.

Wind.
