Chapter 3 Discovery
The demons looked into the distance and saw scattered lights not far from them. This was their first time here. They had previously explored the forest, but now they had come to the edge of the forest to chase this ferocious beast.
The demons looked at each other, hesitant to move forward. The king had told them not to stray too far from the forest, but the firelight was right in front of them, so it wasn't too far, in theory.
Finally, the demons discussed it and decided to go and take a look, since gathering information about the surrounding area was one of the tasks assigned to them by the king.
The demons slowly approached the firelight and soon arrived at a small hill.
"That's a village!"
"There are humans!"
Only when they got closer did they realize that the source of the fire was actually a human village.
"How to say?"
"Want to go over and take a look?"
"Would the king be happy to take a few humans back with him?"
"Your Majesty is human, so you should be able to, right?"
"Nonsense, Your Majesty is not human..."
"Are you arguing again? How can the King not be? He doesn't have any hair on his body, while monsters do."
"Hehe, you don't believe me when I say you're shallow. The Great King is the reincarnation of a great demon king, so naturally he is different from a crude little demon like you."
"I'm being vulgar again, you little devil! You don't even have as much hair as I do, you bastard!"
"Bastard! You want a duel?! I'm going to kill you!"
"Bring it on! Take this Starburst Stream Slash!!!"
Just as the wolf scouts were still hesitating, a dog barked. The demons looked over and saw a large dog with several puppies barking wildly at them, while there seemed to be figures moving around in the village.
"What a keen dog's nose!"
"Retreat first, go back and report to the King."
The demons discussed it and decided to retreat back to the mountain. It wasn't that they were afraid, but they didn't want to alert the enemy. Their king had also said that they should report any major events first.
"go!"
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the figures of the demons quickly disappeared. The big dog chased for a few steps and then stopped, it was unclear whether it had actually discovered them.
When the villagers arrived, they assumed it was just a wild animal coming down from the mountain that had startled the dog, so they returned to the village.
............................
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Hearing the shouts outside, Lin Tian looked away from the panel and then spoke to the little demon outside.
"Enter."
At his command, the little wolf demons swarmed in, instantly filling the already small wooden house to capacity.
"The king has a big dog..."
"Your Majesty, we have discovered a village..."
"Your Majesty, I offer you this beast whip..."
"Your Majesty, we have killed the great beast..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The wolf demons chattered together like birds, making it impossible for Lin Tian to hear a single word. Unable to bear it any longer, he could only shout:
"Quiet!"
The scene immediately fell silent, and even the little demons shrank back.
Finally, things quieted down, and Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief before speaking:
"Take it one at a time, don't say it all at once."
"And what is that thing? Why are you holding it so high?"
Lin Tian frowned as he looked at the bloody, mangled mess and asked.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"Get out of my way, don't block my way to see the King!"
The little wolf demon, who had been holding his hands high, perked up immediately when the king asked him a question. He casually pushed aside several little wolf demons blocking his way, looking like a eunuch holding an imperial edict. He kicked back at a few displeased glares, and then knelt down in front of Lin Tian with a somewhat lewd expression.
"Your Majesty, this is the whip of that ferocious beast, an extremely potent tonic! The first thing I thought of upon obtaining it was to offer it to you!"
"Okay, okay, you're practically shoving it in my face, I get it, you're pretty good... Wait... what is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is a beast whip."
"You are fired."
The wolf scout with a bump on his head returned to the group carrying his beast whip. His comrades, seeing his appearance, silently put the beast leg they were carrying on the ground.
Lin Tian later learned the whole story: the beast that killed his men was a powerful ferocious beast, and the demons stumbled upon a human village while chasing the beast.
"There are humans in this world too..."
Lin Tian's eyes were unreadable, but this was ultimately a good thing, because if there were no humans, it would mean that he would have to live with wild beasts from now on. Even if he had a strong mentality, he would inevitably find it hard to resist the loneliness.
However, there was no rush to communicate with humans; he was more interested in the corpse of that ferocious beast.
"Let's try it out!"
He ordered the lesser demons to arrange the pieces of ferocious beast meat they had cut into a row, and then Lin Tian went up and placed his hand on the meat.
"extract."
A few seconds later............
Okay, it's fine, next piece.
Lin Tian experimented one by one, but each extraction was like throwing a stone into the sea.
"Next, next, next."
"Next........."
?
?
?
"Why did they put this thing up again?!"
Looking at the bloody mess in front of him, Lin Tian's face froze, and he shouted for the little demons to take it away quickly.
"Your Majesty, you were the one who said to put everything up there..." the little wolf demon who had secretly placed the beast whip up there said weakly.
Lin Tian glanced at him, and the little demon immediately shivered. Not daring to be negligent, it shrank its neck and ran up.
"Wait!"
"Never mind... just let it go."
Lin Tian told Xiao Yao to put the thing down, and after letting him return to the team, he frowned as he looked at the bloody, mangled object.
Probably not...
should?
Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to endure the nausea and reached out his hand.
Fortunately, extraction doesn't necessarily require touching, and Lin Tian felt much more at ease thinking about this. However, this step was extremely exciting for the little demon who had just returned to the team.
"The king has taken the beast whip! The king has taken the beast whip!"
"Shut up!"
I'm not taking it!
The little demon whipped by the beast whip quieted down after Lin Tian glared at it. Well... it wasn't completely quiet. At this moment, it was still bumping the little demon leg next to it with its shoulder and then raising its eyebrows triumphantly.
See! I told you the king liked beast whips!
Ignoring the subtle movements below, Lin Tian placed his hand above the beast whip and then chose to extract it.
Sure enough, the beast whip began to tremble instantly, and a few seconds later, a drop of bright red blood floated out from the beast whip.
Out!
