Annihilated.
The Demon Race was completely wiped out, just like Kirito's Black Cats, chopped into meat paste by the surging monsters. Their deaths were even more gruesome.
But their strong vitality allowed them to still writhe and attempt to revive even after being chopped into meat paste.
Gong Qiying stopped the monsters who wanted to continue attacking. This group of monsters consisted of over twenty Living Corpse Knights in heavy armor, and among them was a heavyweight character – the Black Knight.
Ensuring that those who fell into the trap would be instantly killed in one wave.
[Black Knight (Greatsword)] [Mental Power Required per Unit: 650] [Life: C, Strength: C+, Intelligence: D, Stamina: C, Speed: C, Overall Combat Power: C]
After a slow and long writhing, the Demon Race members barely took shape, but their consciousness had fallen into a coma.
Gong Qiying picked two who looked smarter to keep, and had the monsters throw the rest outside the teleportation gate.
Outside the teleportation gate, Adventurers preparing to enter the Zane Dungeon formed a long line.
"Can the people in front hurry up? I've been waiting for ages!"
Vierde shouted impatiently. He had also come to challenge the dungeon today and wouldn't give up until he saw Sakaki.
After these days of dying and coming back to life, his survival time in the Swamp Area had increased to a full half hour. This was a small step for him, and a small step for humanity!
However, with the discovery of the Gourmet Area, the number of people flooding into the dungeon had surged. Before, he would at most queue for an hour to get in, but now?
He had been queuing for a whole morning! And still hadn't gotten in!
Pikachu was making noise in the Poké Ball, wanting to come out, but Vierde always felt that now wasn't a good time and he shouldn't let people see Pikachu.
The person in front of him glanced back impatiently, originally wanting to argue, but after recognizing who Vierde was, they shrank their neck and said nothing more.
After waiting another half hour, it was already past lunchtime, and Vierde finally stood in front of the teleportation gate.
"It wasn't easy." He took a deep breath and perked up. "Today, I must find that person again!"
He had just stepped one foot into the teleportation gate and poked his face in when he saw a few unidentified objects rushing towards him!
"Huh?"
The next second, only a "splat" sound was heard, and the meatball formed by the Demon Race members smashed directly into Vierde's face, sending him flying backward.
"Whoa, that person flew up!?"
"What flew out of the teleportation gate? Did anyone go take a look?"
"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"
Vierde lay on the ground, his body twitching, clearly knocked out by the impact.
The culprits who knocked him out were piled on top of him, still twitching unconsciously. It was the first time everyone had seen something come out of the teleportation gate in reverse, because the Zane Dungeon had a total of two teleportation gates, one for entering and one for exiting, and these two had never been mixed up.
So everyone gathered around to watch this rare scene, but when they saw clearly what had flown out, everyone present's face changed.
"Hey, why do these things look so strange? Could they be demons..."
"Quickly go inform the City Lord!"
Compared to the noise outside, Gong Qiying's side was much quieter.
Two unconscious Demon Race members lay beside him. For safety, he had transformed into a Hero Gargoyle beforehand. Since there was still some transformation time left, he might as well use it.
Fatal injuries were difficult for the Demon Race to recover from. Their livestock had been unconscious since healing, and at this rate, even questioning them would be a problem.
Gong Qiying thought for a moment, took out a bottle of ordinary healing potion, and gave half to each Demon Race member. By the way, this potion was something he had bought from the outside world.
As soon as they drank the potion, the Demon Race members' complexions immediately improved significantly, and their breathing became long and steady.
He found large iron chains and fastened them around their necks, then immediately splashed a basin of cold water on them. While slapping the Demon Race members' faces, he urged, "Hurry up and wake up, or I'll throw you into the cesspool if you keep sleeping."
The two Demon Race members opened their eyes in confusion, then saw Gong Qiying.
He had expected them to react emotionally to the Hero Gargoyle's ferocious appearance, but strangely, they just stared blankly at Gong Qiying.
"Are they stupid?"
Gong Qiying extended a finger and wiggled it to the left.
The Demon Race members' heads followed, shaking to the left.
He wiggled his finger to the right.
The Demon Race members' heads also followed, shaking to the right.
This repeated, and their heads were shaking like rattles, but they wouldn't speak!
"These two things are retarded!"
Angered, Gong Qiying slapped both of them, causing them to spit out blood.
It seemed the slap had an effect. The Demon Race members' eyes cleared up slightly, and they actually knew to reach out and fiddle with the iron chains around their necks, looking like they wanted to free themselves.
"Hey," Gong Qiying poked the Demon Race member's head with restrained force and asked, "Where are you from, and what are you doing here?"
The Demon Race member didn't speak, still fiddling with the chains, making them clatter.
Gong Qiying sighed and tried poking the other one, with the same result.
No wonder these Demon Race members had seemed so dull earlier; they were idiots.
He made many attempts, but there was no way to communicate with the Demon Race. These guys seemed to have lost their language function. No, not just their language function, perhaps even their intelligence had been lost as well.
"If only there was a mind-reading magic," Gong Qiying flipped through the [Available Monster] list, looking for monsters with abilities like mind-reading.
During the time he was flipping through, the two Demon Race members finally realized that their remaining strength was not enough to break the chains, so they just sat there blankly, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a while, a little steam rose from their bodies, and their body temperature slowly increased. As their body temperature rose, their appearance also underwent strange changes.
Their deformed bodies were actually slowly melting?
Their bodies melted like candles under heat, gradually turning into a pool of flowing viscous liquid, boiling and bubbling on the ground.
Gong Qiying frowned. This scene was a bit SAN-dropping. Perhaps he could consider adding it to the dungeon's monsters.
When the Demon Race members' strong and deformed bodies melted, the contents inside were revealed. It was actually—
"Humans?"
Gong Qiying bent down and picked up a human from the slime with two fingers, examining it carefully from all angles.
No matter how he looked at it, the appearance was human. It was a young man with a roguish look, his hands were still black, and just one glance reminded him of a certain man who had a strong sense of weightlessness.
If Si Telan were here, she would recognize him. This was one of the thugs who had previously caused trouble for her, Morgan.
And the other human revealed after the other Demon Race melted was one of Morgan's lackeys, Ya Yi.
"Humans... can turn into Demon Race?"
At this moment, Morgan's eyelids twitched.
