Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 912 - 360: Matrix Night Demon
There was no light inside the tunnel, Wang Tao and Lightning led the way at the front, while He Jijun and Lan Yulian walked in the middle with ultraviolet flashlights, with Jiang Shixue and Blacky covering the rear. They proceeded in an orderly manner into the tunnel.
The tunnel was very long, exceeding Wang Tao’s range of perception, so he couldn’t "see" what was specifically on the other side.
After some time, the group finally made it through the passage.
Wang Tao discovered several dead Fourth Order Elite Night Demons near a stationary Night Demon Type II, which surprised him.
He had not directly ordered the Night Demon Type II to kill other Night Demons before; he simply told it to scout ahead. If there were other Night Demons, the Night Demon Type II could relay this information to Wang Tao, who would then issue an order to kill those Night Demons—this was the logic used by Night Demon Type I.
Wang Tao thinking to himself what he wanted it to do was useless; he had to issue clear orders. If the orders were unclear, it wouldn’t be able to execute them, so it seemed rather dumb.
But this Night Demon Type II was different, it had autonomously killed all the Night Demons at the tunnel entrance—it could sense Wang Tao’s thoughts and had acted on them.
Wang Tao was immediately pleasantly surprised, noting a significant difference between Types I and II.
If the Night Demon Type I essentially lacked intelligence, then this Night Demon Type II had a bit of intelligence. Although still far from the capabilities of Lightning and Blacky, it was at least a step forward. Wang Tao had never used Type I before, but perhaps Type II could become a useful assistant...
On the other side of the tunnel lay the vast underground mall.
But there were no signs of the former mall, all his eyes could see were the red-black masses of Incubation Flesh and Unformed Night Demons. This space and the number of entities were much more than those found inside the air-raid shelter!
Moreover, it wasn’t just one path anymore; there were many twisting, pulsating flesh tunnels leading to unknown places, which looked incredibly eerie.
"This Night Demon’s Nest... how disgusting!"
Lan Yulian muttered under her breath.
Wang Tao nodded in agreement, then carefully observed and sensed around. Besides the dead Night Demons, there were no others currently around, and it was unclear where the remaining Night Demons had gone.
Wang Tao was eager to kill all the Incubation Flesh and Unformed Night Demons, but he wasn’t in a hurry. He was now sure that their group could defeat a Fifth-Order Lord Night Fiend, and he still had more than ten unused Night Demon Parasite Insect Eggs.
Besides, there were still plenty of Night Demons in this nest which needed to be assessed in terms of their power. If there were multiple Fifth-Order Lord Night Fiends here, they definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against them—although the probability was small, taking precautions was never wrong.
Wang Tao chose one of the flesh tunnels, then gestured with his hand.
"Come, let’s go in and see."
"Okay!"
The odor in the Night Demon’s Nest was foul, especially amongst these masses of Incubation Flesh; the smell was downright horrible. If not for Wang Tao and his companions being battle-hardened, they might have vomited on the spot. Enduring this pungent scent, they cautiously walked for a while until Wang Tao suddenly raised his hand.
"I see Night Demons!"
In Wang Tao’s perception, a large number of Night Demons appeared ahead, as if they were in a huge clearing?
Wang Tao further honed his perception of the number of Night Demons… at least three or four hundred Fourth Order Night Demons! And this was just within his range of perception—there were definitely more beyond that!
Wang Tao quickly handed out several Stealth Potions to everyone.
"There are too many Night Demons inside, we need to act cautiously!"
It had been a long time since he used a Stealth Potion, and upon using it again, the familiar sensation of breathing slowing, body cooling, and limbs feeling heavy returned.
The group took some time to familiarize themselves with the effects of the Stealth Potion, then continued to move forward under Wang Tao’s lead.

Moments later, they stepped out of the flesh tunnel without attracting the attention of any Night Demons, and Wang Tao finally saw those Night Demons.
It was indeed a clearing, seemingly the hall of the underground mall, which was very spacious and the Incubation Flesh had not occupied it completely.
Wang Tao could clearly see, in the middle of this hall, stood a dense mass of Night Demons!
At a rough glance, at least several hundreds!
If including the Night Demons he had previously killed, the number of Night Demons in this nest was at least over a thousand!
And not just the quantity was staggering, but their strength was also tremendously strong, with only a few being Level 3; the rest were all Fourth Order Elites!
"This isn’t right…"
After his initial surprise, Wang Tao was puzzled.
So far, it seemed that there was no second entrance or exit to this Night Demon’s Nest. Wang Tao and his companions had tightly guarded the air-raid shelter before, not letting a single Night Demon enter the tunnel, and all returning Night Demons were killed by them. Hence, these several hundred Fourth Order Elite Night Demons should not have gone out!
But this didn’t make sense. It was night before, why wouldn’t the Night Demons go out? They should be going out to hunt, it’s not possible that they were always in the nest, right?
Unless—these Night Demons had just been born recently, and it wasn’t that they didn’t go out, but that they simply hadn’t had the chance to go out yet!
Just when Wang Tao came to this realization, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He saw from within a patch of Incubation Flesh, a very obese dark green Night Demon emerged.
