"Oh, yes, yes, the Rat King said that if we fail to conquer Yellow Wind Ridge today, we won't have to go back!"
When this was mentioned, the yellow dog demon also looked sheepish.
Looking at the yellow dog demon's expression, Mo Yanliang guessed that Yellow Wind Ridge was difficult to conquer. He looked at Mo Yunqing beside him, and Mo Yunqing just shook his head.
Mo Yunqing indeed didn't know much about the demon race, even less than what he knew about the devil race.
However, Mo Yanliang and Mo Yunqing both agreed on one point: whether it's to establish prestige in front of these little demons or to make the king behind them pay attention to him, he must show his strength. Speaking with strength is most convincing.
Thinking of this, Mo Yanliang no longer want to keep a low profile. He asked the yellow dog demon directly: "Brother Gou, is it difficult to capture the Yellow Wind Ridge?"<Gou=Dog>
As soon as he heard Mo Yanliang's question, the yellow dog demon answered immediately. It was obvious that he also wanted to see Mo Yanliang's strength.
If he has no ability, then it wouldn't be a pity even if he dies. But if he's a powerful person, then introducing him to the king would bring benefit as well. It would be a two-birds-with-one-stone thing, so why not do it?
"In fact, Yellow Wind Ridge used to be the territory of our Rat King. Yellow Wind Ridge is rich in herbs. We demons often fight and get injured, so herbs are very important to us. But later, a vicious beast called Mu Hu came to Yellow Wind Ridge. He occupied Yellow Wind Ridge and forbade us coming here to collect herbs. He also captured all the little demons around."
When the yellow dog demon spoke about this, he seemed full of righteous indignation. He even paused and glanced at Mo Yanliang.
Seeing the yellow dog demon glancing at him, Mo Yanliang just frowned slightly. He had been acting cold and aloof in front of this group of little demons, so there was no need to show too much emotion now.
Of course, an appropriate statement was still necessary: "So as long as we defeat that beast, the other little demons won't be a problem, right?"
As soon as he saw Mo Yanliang say this, the yellow dog demon felt that Mo Yanliang must have some real skills, otherwise he would not dare to speak so arrogantly.
He took two steps forward and tried to hit Mo Yanliang's shoulder with his dog's paw again, but this time Mo Yanliang anticipated his action and avoided his dog's paw.
The yellow dog demon's paw missed, but he didn't seem embarrassed at all. He continued like a normal dog, "Brother Fox, are you sure?"
"Brother Gou, why don't you tell me what's so powerful about this beast?"
"If I have to say what's so great about it, it's probably that it likes to suck people's brains, and is very good at it."
When the yellow dog demon said this, his expression was distorted, as if he was the one whose brain had been sucked out.
"I've seen it with my own eyes. That scene...tsk, tsk, tsk, it's horrible!"
Like to suck people's brains...
Then this beast was indeed a bit special.
There are many beasts that kill cruelly, and there are also many beasts that eat people, but there are indeed not many that suck brains. And judging from the expression of the yellow dog demon, it seems that he attacks indiscriminately, and treats everyone the same regardless of whether they are human or monster.
"It's actually a Baku!"<In Chinese mythology, the "dream eater" demon is called a "Baku" (獏), which is a creature believed to devour nightmares and originates from Chinese folklore, although the most well-known depictions of the Baku come from Japanese mythology where it is considered a protective spirit against bad dreams.>
Just when Mo Yanliang was thinking about how to deal with this monster, Mo Yunqing's voice sounded in his ears.
"You know?"
"More than knowing..."
Mo Yunqing pondered for a moment, then said something to Mo Yanliang again, but this time his pronunciation was extremely strange and Mo Yanliang couldn't understand it at all.
Daliang, what did you mean by that just now?
Mo Yanliang asked silently in his heart.
"Submit to me." Mo Yunqing only uttered four simple words.
“Ahem…”
Mo Yanliang looked at Mo Yunqing helplessly. Why did he suddenly say this in front of so many demons?
Looking at Mo Yanliang's expression, Mo Yunqing knew that he had the wrong idea.
"What that sentence just now means... submit to me. Just say this to the Baku. He will understand. It's the ancient language of the gods."
It's true that the original body’s identity in the novel is the last of the gods, but aren’t all the gods gone? Daliang actually knows the ancient language of gods?
As if seeing his confusion, Mo Yunqing explained again: "I only know a few sentences. The divine language is too difficult to pronounce, and no one taught me how to pronounce it. I read a lot of ancient books before I learned these few sentences."
Mo Yunqing repeated the sentence several times to deepened Mo Yanliang's impression.
The yellow dog demon was still talking about how scary the Baku was, but Mo Yanliang was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore: "Brother Gou, leave the Baku to me."
Mo Yanliang volunteered, and the yellow dog demon couldn't help but be delighted.
It's very easy to lure the Baku out. Just need to shout.
Apparently, the yellow dog demon and his gang of little demons were already quite skilled at this. Once they take out their weapons, they start blowing and hitting them, and it's hard not to notice the noise...
-
Ever since the occupation of Yellow Wind Ridge by the Baku, there's no shortage of demons from other forces came to challenge him.
Hearing the noise outside, a ferocious smile appeared on the beast's face. Great, more food was delivered to the door.
The Baku were not bloodthirsty, but mainly because fresh brains are easier to absorb.
Baku put on his favorite tattered clothes, and just like countless times before, he grasped his unique weapon with his tiger claws and rushed out to enjoy the food.
However, Baku felt a strange breath.
Although there were more demonic energy, but... beneath the layers of demonic energy, it seemed like... the breath of God?
Baku's heart trembled, and his eyes finally locked on Mo Yanliang.
When the little demons including the yellow dog demon, rabbit demon, chicken demon, rat demon, etc. saw the Baku, their instinctive reaction was to covered their heads and retreated to the back, as if this would prevent their brains from being sucked away.
"Brother Fox, I'll leave it to you."
The yellow dog demon didn't forgot to remind Mo Yanliang as he retreated.
Mo Yanliang looked at the ragged beast in front of him. Is this... the brain-sucking beast?
Mo Yanliang also reacted fast. He repeated the words that Mo Yunqing had just taught him to the beast.
Then, a scene that stunned all the demons happened.
The arrogant and brain-sucking Baku actually knelt on one knee in front of Mo Yanliang, put one hand on his chest and clenched his fist to salute: "I am loyal to you."
Demons: Ah this...
Mo Yanliang: This actually possible?
"Although the divine aura on you has been concealed, don't underestimate an ancient beast like the Baku. He should know that you are a member of the divine race."
It was obvious that no one else would hear Mo Yunqing no matter how loudly he spoke, but when he said this, he had to get close to Mo Yanliang, whispering.
Of course, his main purpose in doing this was... to rub Mo Yanliang's ears and tail.
While Mo Yanliang was listening to him carefully, Mo Yunqing lifted the furry fox ears with two fingers and then rolled them up.
In the eyes of the monsters, it seemed that Mo Yanliang's fox ears suddenly stood up, then curled up, and suddenly stretched out.
The demons: “…”
Brother Fox, isn't it inappropriate for you to suddenly act cute like this?
The yellow dog spirit coughed to clear his throat, pretending not to have seen Mo Yanliang's cute behavior just now.
"Brother Fox, you are..."
"Yeah, it's done."
Mo Yanliang tilted his head and freed his fox ears from Mo Yunqing's hands.
In fact, he himself did not expect that he could deal with the beast so easily.
Now that the beast have been dealt with, the remaining little demons will naturally be easy to deal with.
The yellow dog demon didn't expect that he could complete such a difficult task assigned by the king ahead of time. He was very excited for a moment and wanted to introduce Mo Yanliang to the Rat King.
Mo Yanliang naturally would not refuse, as this was his original purpose.
-
Zhan Yuming searched for Mo Yanliang in the human world for several days but couldn't find him, so he had no choice but to return to the demon tribe.
Things have been uneasy among the demon tribe lately, with fights breaking out frequently.
Although such conflicts have always occurred, in the past they were suppressed by Zhan Yuming, so the conflicts were not so frequent, let alone erupting on such a large scale.
Although Zhan Yuming was one of the strongest demon kings, to some extent, he was the most powerful demon king...especially after he consumed Mo Yunqing's divine blood.
The first time he drank the divine blood was indeed just an accident, and he was indeed seriously injured at that time.
But after tasting the sweetness brought by the divine blood, he had to admit that the injuries he suffered later were all intentional. He was just trying to trick Mo Yunqing into giving him divine blood to drink...
At first, Zhan Yuming's heart was filled with hatred towards the immortals. He didn't think that there was anything wrong with tricking Mo Yunqing to drink his blood. He even felt that the immortals had always suppressed the demons, and that they owed them something. So what was wrong with drinking some immortal blood?
But gradually... Zhan Yuming could feel that Mo Yunqing truly treated him as a friend. Mo Yunqing was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper and believed whatever he said. He was completely different from those other high-ranking immortals.
Zhan Yuming could actually feel that he had different feelings for Mo Yunqing, but he still suppressed those feelings.
Compared to his feelings for Mo Yunqing, he loved power more. That little bit of feelings still lost to his ambition.
So, there were repeated deceptions and exploitations afterwards.
Of course, Mo Yunqing, who was like a blank sheet of paper, knew nothing about it.
Mo Yunqing didn't know that Zhan Yuming thought he had a clear conscience. He never thought that Mo Yunqing would find out everything so quickly...
When Mo Yanliang said that he wanted to severe all ties with him, the first thought that came to his mind was panic.
Compared to the pain of being betrayed, the end of all ties with him(MYL) was more unacceptable to him.
It was not until this time that Zhan Yuming had to face his own heart. He had actually fallen in love with Mo Yunqing a long time ago.
But his love only brought deception and hurt to Mo Yunqing.
While Zhan Yuming was looking for Mo Yanliang, he also had to deal with the conflicts between the various demon kings.
In the past, the demon kings would more or less give him face, but since they knew that he returned from the immortal realm with serious injuries, the other demon kings have become more and more perfunctory towards him, and have even developed to the point of trying to seize his territory recently. The most arrogant one among them was the Rat King.
"My king, the Rat King is getting more and more aggressive. He has already provoked us several times. If we continue to avoid fighting, it will be a huge blow to our morale."
"When did that rat become so arrogant?"
"I heard that he recently got a very powerful fox demon as his subordinate, and also subdued the beast, so he became very popular at the moment."
Zhan Yuming showed a puzzled look on his face: "Fox demon? Foxes are usually good at charm and illusion, but I have never heard of such a belligerent fox demon... And a beast like the Baku is actually willing to submit to a rat?"
The author has something to say:
Xiaoliang: Do you have any problem with me being belligerent?
Baku: Who said I surrendered to a rat? I surrendered to God!
T/N: We have 12 more chapters to go!
