The Dark King

chapter-1038
The confrontation didn’t last for long. The Polar Ice Worm didn’t know what it meant to stop at a moment’s notice. It couldn’t help but take the lead to attack.
Dudian’s expression was calm. He wasn’t as panicked as last time. When the polar ice worm was close to him, his whole body was burning with a blazing flame, the high temperature instantly dispersed the cold air around him. The metal under his feet quickly heated up.
Seven or eight ice worms saw Dudian burning. They were stunned for a moment. But soon, they opened their mouths and spat out saliva, the saliva would quickly freeze. It was more powerful than the frozen liquid. However, when the saliva met Dudian’s flame, it quickly melted and emitted white smoke.
The Sun Beast from the blazing soul worm seemed to be the natural nemesis of the polar ice insects. Moreover Dudian’s physique wasn’t weak. He was able to fully display the strength of the Sun Beast. At the moment he was attacked by the polar ice insects, the flame on his body was slightly weakened but the effect wasn’t big. Dudian’s heart calmed down. He released the cutting edge and quickly rushed towards the polar ice insects.
Whoosh!Puff!
The burning flames were like one polar ice insect after another. These polar ice insects didn’t dare to use their bodies to wrap around him. They just kept spitting saliva. Dudian quickly closed in on them and cut them into pieces, they turned into lumps of sticky white meat and fell to the ground. However, they were still slowly wriggling. Their tenacious vitality made them almost immortal.
However, there was no true immortal.
The power of nature was enough to destroy everything. Dudian’s burning boots stepped on the lumps of white meat. The white meat quickly shrank as if it was melted ice, he estimated that after a few minutes of burning, it would completely disappear.
But he didn’t do that.
He didn’t come here to kill all the polar ice insects but to capture them.
Dudian walked towards the giant black tree from the ground. His eyes were golden and his perspective was fully activated. He was on guard against any possible mutation.The pieces of the polar ice insects were slowly gathering and reassembling. But it would take time. This time was enough for him to fight with the thing that was suspected to be the king of polar ice insects.
The giant black tree wasn’t a real tree. It had a complex structure like a living creature. It didn’t have a heart, digestive organs, and other organs, but there were things like blood flowing in its body, most of these things flowed into the body of the giant snow-white worm. Then they were extracted from the body of the giant worm and circulated back and forth.
“Unfortunately, if you had a human carrier, you would be able to communicate with each other. But now you can only use violent means.”Dudian stood in front of the giant black tree. He felt that the branches around him were trembling slightly, the roots of the giant tree were also slightly trembling. It seemed that it couldn’t bear the high temperature of his body. He expressed his sympathy and then used his hands to create a sharp blade.
Puff!
The sharp blade pierced into the giant black tree. Through the ultra-long distance touch, Dudian’s perception extended out of the flame. He could feel a burst of cold.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream came from the top of the tree. The Scream was extremely high in decibel. It was so piercing that people’s eardrums hurt. However, the hair on Dudian’s ears stood up. His ears shrank and the sound was lowered, he looked up at the source of the sound. It was coming from the body of the giant snow-white worm. It had woken up!
The middle of the body of the giant snow-white worm slightly opened, revealing a huge mouth. When the mouth opened, the whole body was divided into two. The extent of the opening made all snakes ashamed.
“Buzz, Buzz…”
“Quack…”
Suddenly, the giant snow worm’s mouth emitted a strange sound. Dudian was puzzled when suddenly something came out of its mouth. He was stunned: “Human, Please Stop!”
This was the language of human. Moreover, it was the common language of the giant wall. Moreover, it was fluent and very magnetic.
“Human, please stop!”At this time, the giant Snow Worm said the same thing. But this time, it changed the language. It was the English of the old era!
Dudian continued to be stunned. The giant White Worm taught Dudian what a master of language, Russian, Spanish, as well as some small languages in Africa… it took seven or eight turns to speak. Some of them Dudian had never heard of before, finally, it spoke Chinese.
Dudian heard Chinese. He couldn’t help but ask: “What are you?”
The giant white worm saw that Dudian finally reacted. It seemed to be relieved as it spoke in a magnetic Chinese accent: “We are not here to hurt you. Please let us go and leave.”
Dudian couldn’t help but ask: “Why Did You Say Our Words? Did you read them from the memory of the carrier?”
The giant white worm repeated the above words. Its tone didn’t change.
Dudian couldn’t help but repeat his question. However the giant snow worm didn’t move. He couldn’t help but feel angry, “What the Hell Are You? Why Did You Say Our Words? If you don’t answer properly then I won’t give you the chance to kneel down!”
The giant snow worm opened its mouth as if it was in a daze, after a while it said: “Human, in your spoken language we are called the polar ice worm. We are the ancestors of the parasitic soul worms used to strengthen your body. We don’t mean to be rude. We hope that you will let us live. We are hiding here because we don’t want to be found by you.”
Dudian narrowed his eyes: “So you are the polar ice worm king?”
“You can say that.”The giant snow worm admitted straightforwardly.
Dudian wasn’t excited but calm. He found that the king of the polar ice insects seemed to be an old driver. It understood the languages of the old era as well as the language of the giant wall, it knew the names given to them by humans. It was enough to show that it had experienced many things. It was very likely that it had survived from the old era until now!
300 years of lifespan was something that humans couldn’t reach, but it wasn’t a problem for these extremely strong polar ice bugs.
However, the polar ice bug king’s behavior was a little strange.
It was too honest and didn’t hide anything from it! Logically speaking, knowing so much of the human language of the old era and understanding the situation of the giant wall era, it should have come into contact with many humans and obtained this knowledge from them. However, since it was able to obtain this knowledge.., it should have learned that humans were cunning and cautious. It shouldn’t be so honest.
Soon, Dudian understood why the polar ice insect king was so “Honest”. Perhaps it wanted him to know that he was the polar ice insect king! With Dudian’s current strength, he would be a king in the Abyss stage. The possibility to continue to become stronger was to absorb the polar ice insect king! If he wanted to absorb it then it would be the same as giving it a chance to control him!
“If it was any other abyss then it would be ecstatic!”Dudian thought. If it was any other abyss then he would be ecstatic. Unfortunately, he knew many secrets about the king from Boro, he didn’t plan to rely on the polar ice worm king to become the king.
Dudian didn’t kill the polar ice insect king as he felt that it was a trick. Instead, he said with joy: “How long have you been hiding here?”
The polar ice insect king replied quickly: “It’s been a long time. I can’t remember clearly.”
Dudian smiled: “How do you know the language of humans?”He knew the answer.
The ice worm king hesitated for a moment: “I need the blood of other creatures to maintain my life. My children accidentally caught you humans when they were hunting prey.”
Dudian smiled in his heart as if he was watching his prey fall into the net: “This is your spaceship. Are you from Another Planet?”
Spaceship was the name of Earth but Dudian believed that it could understand as it could read human’s memory. Polar Ice Worm King replied in a sincere tone, “We didn’t expect to run out of energy and fall here. We have fought with you for this. But please believe that we are definitely offended. We will leave this place when we find the energy.”
Dudian was shocked as he saw that it admitted that it was an alien. As a person from the old era, he had been dreaming about other life forms in the dark and quiet universe, he had imagined the appearance of an alien. It had a thin head and huge eyes… but he didn’t expect that the alien life form that appeared on Earth would be this big fat but not cute monster.
The reason why it was unlovable was because the thin, sharp blades that had shrunk to the back of its body and the mouth full of sharp teeth were enough to send chills down one’s spine.
At this point, he could finally confirm that the disaster of the old era was caused by the invasion of alien monsters.
Although he had made some guesses before, and even believed that it was because he had seen some reports on television before he fell asleep, he was still young at that time and had never seen the news footage of the arrival of alien monsters. After that, he had grown up in Sylvia.., he had come into contact with many dark things. He was a bit suspicious of everything. Sometimes he would even think that this thing was secretly made by the countries of the old era in order to change the pattern of the old era.
This kind of nonsense continued until this moment!
However, was the reason for their visit to Earth really because of energy exhaustion?
Dudian naturally didn’t believe it but didn’t expose it. After all, he didn’t have any reference. He might not be able to get the truth from the torture. If the other party insisted on a story or another false story.., he could only believe it. But it was different now. He could induce it to tell the truth and then extract the information that he thought was true.
“Why did you pass through here?”Dudian asked.
Polar Ice Worm King was silent for a while, “Maybe it was too lonely. For thousands of years we were the only ones on our planet so we were ready to look for new life partners in the universe. We were going to go to another planet but we happened to pass through here and found you. Moreover because of the language barrier there was a war which we didn’t want to happen. Both sides suffered heavy casualties.”
“Go to another planet?”
“It’s not a planet but a region. We detected that there was a special signal coming from that region. It seems that there is life so we went there.”
“So you didn’t land because of the exhaustion of energy but because you found our planet?”Dudian changed the topic. He felt that.., it was deliberately trying to catch him.
“In fact, there are two reasons. We didn’t have much energy and we found you so we landed.”The ice worm king’s tone was a bit awkward but there was only one mouth moving on its smooth body, there was no expression on its face.
Dudian sneered and pretended to be angry. However he was suspicious because it mentioned that there was a life signal reaction in another area. He didn’t know if it was true or not. If it was true.., were there other life forms in the universe? If it was false then it meant that the original target of these monsters was Earth. They must have detected the signals sent by earth to the universe and deliberately came!
In the old era when mankind had developed space technology, they had never stopped looking for aliens. Many scientists and famous science fiction writers had mentioned that when mankind found the alien race.., it was very likely that a disaster could not be avoided. Either mankind was weak, oppressed, or even ruled by extinction, or the extraterrestrials they found were weaker than mankind and were colonized by mankind!
Regardless of the outcome, it was not good for mankind or the extraterrestrial race. However, mankind still did not stop their fanatical and dangerous actions and persisted in searching for extraterrestrials.
Some people said that it was because humans were too lonely in the vast universe.
But… you are F * cking lonely. Don’t you want to die? !
Dudian felt that if his guess was true, the polar ice insect king would be able to rub the faces of those fanatical intellectuals on the ground!
After thinking for a moment, Dudian felt that the second possibility was more likely. These insects were coming to Earth. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to sense the existence of life in other star areas but not the existence of earth.
It was obvious that they didn’t have good intentions to start a war. It was the same as the two outcomes. They would devour humans and rule the weak.
Every life had a common characteristic which was the need for survival. Humans needed food and beasts needed prey. Even a tree needed water to nourish it, this was a very common reason. These monsters took a fancy to the Earth’s resources and environment.
Of course, there was another reason that the possibility of existence was low. They were bloodthirsty and liked to kill. That was why they found Earth.
“Do you know about Aragami?”Dudian suddenly asked.
