These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 220: First Abyss Demons

This place didn't change no matter how far we walked.

This was a place that seemed to be completely abandoned.

This was a place that was a perfect representation of what a battlefield should be.

It was a place that was filled with red sand and many different large rock formations that gave cover as far as the eye could see. If one wasn't careful, it was easy to be ambushed in a place like this.

It was possible that an enemy could be hiding behind any of these rocks.

That was why I had deployed the undead as soon as we started moving, but there hadn't been any signals from them.

If it wasn't for the undead, then we wouldn't be able to move at our current speed.

The only thing that we would have been able to do is take things slowly as we moved through these rocks.

But with these undead leading the way, we were able to make our way through without encountering any enemies.

It reached the point where it seemed strange that there wasn't anything here at all.

It was as if there wasn't a single Abyss Demon in this place.

Only that didn't make sense since this Abyss dungeon was the home of the Abyss Demon invaders. They wouldn't just all disappear all of a sudden like this, so they had to be hiding somewhere.

But where were they hiding?

Eventually, we were able to find them.

It was a group of Abyss Demons that were gathered together, just standing there as if there was nothing better for them to do. With the way that they stood there, it was almost as if they were idle…

But that was strange since this dungeon wasn't the same as the other dungeons.

Since this dungeon was used by the Abyss Demons to invade our world, that meant that they were able to maintain a certain level of intelligence. If they didn't, then it really wouldn't be invading our world.

So why were they just standing there like a bunch of NPCs?

It didn't seem to make any sense at all…

After looking more closely, we figured out what it was.

It was a group of people that they were surrounding that made them gather like that. They seemed to have surrounded a group of humans and with the way that they were around them, it seemed like they were about to finish them off.

I turned around to look at Iris and Wang Rong before telling them what happened.

After a moment of hesitation, they gave nods to show that they were ready and that they supported me.

So I had the undead move forward.

At first, the Abyss Demons didn't seem to notice the undead around them. But once they came closer, it was hard for the Abyss Demons to ignore the undead.

"What is this?"

Though we already knew that the Abyss Demons could speak the same language as us, it was still a bit surprising to hear them actually speak. The voices of the Abyss Demons were a bit harsh too, almost like someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard.

Though it didn't seem like that was because of their voice.

It almost seemed like there was something that was messing with their voices, which made their voices sound like this.

Though they said this after being caught off guard, it wasn't as if the undead would stop moving towards them.

It was just that the undead were moving at a speed that was too slow to actually catch them off guard.

The Abyss Demons seemed more surprised by the fact that there were undead here more than anything else. It seemed like they didn't recognize the undead and were seeing them for the first time.

But that meant that the undead were able to approach the Abyss Demons without a problem.

It was just that they weren't exactly strong enough to take down the Abyss Demons that easily.

Instead of being able to cut through the Abyss Demons with their weapons, all that happened was that the scales on their bodies blocked the bone swords and weapons. It was almost as if the bodies of the Abyss Demons were made of steel with how they easily stopped these weapons.

So in the end, the undead just weren't able to do anything to them and all that happened was that the Abyss Demons were pulled out of their dazes.

"A bunch of bones want to hurt us? We'll crush you right now!"

Once they were pulled out of their daze, the Abyss Demons didn't hold back at all as they started attacking the undead. The undead tried to dodge out of the way, but the Abyss Demons were surprisingly fast even though their bodies were so hard.

It didn't seem like they weighed anything with the way that they moved.

It really was hard to believe that they were this hard and fast at the same time.

But because the Abyss Demons turned their attention to the undead, that gave a gap for the humans that had been surrounded to make their way out of their blockade.

They didn't know what was happening at first, but then they realized that there was a small rat made of bones waving at them. They were a bit hesitant seeing this, but then they followed that small rat made of bones of this place.

When the Abyss Demons realized what happened, they were filled with rage.

They started smashing the bones that scattered the ground from the skeletons that they smashed. But even though they smashed the bones, it wasn't as if it would bring back the humans that escaped.

"Find them!"

One of the Abyss Demon said to the others, showing that they were much higher rank than the others.

But no matter how the Abyss Demons tried looking for the humans, they weren't able to find them.

That was because they never noticed the skeletal rats that had been watching them the entire time.
