1861 The devil’s temptation (1)
After realizing that he couldn’t leave, Shi Gu was on the verge of tears.
At the moment Tang Zhen appeared, he thought that his opportunity had arrived and he wanted to curry favor with him.
In fact, he was even thanking the demonic god in his heart for giving him such an opportunity to meet a Demon Lord.
However, after guessing Tang Zhen’s plan, Shi Gu wished that he could grow wings and escape from this small alley as soon as possible.
As long as he could get out of this crisis, he would immediately return to the village and continue to be a tomb keeper.
Although the city was good, it was not a paradise for a country demon servant like him, who could lose his life at any time.
Even if it was delicious food, it couldn’t stop Shi Gu from escaping. It didn’t matter if he was hungry for a few days, staying alive was the most important thing.
However, his shackled body had already proven that this Demon Lord would definitely not let him go so easily.
Rotten bones knew that if he did not cooperate, he would be killed in the next second.
His grandfather and a few other relatives had accidentally barged into the secret fiend nest, and were then chewed up by the guard dogs of The Fiend nest for supper.
In the world of the demons, killing was a casual affair, especially for low-level demonic servants like him. They were no different from ants in the eyes of the demons.
“Answer me, do you want to leave?”
Hearing the voice in his ear, Shi Gu’s ugly face almost twitched together, but he forced out a happy smile.
no, I’m definitely not leaving. I just want to move my body.
Shi Gu explained, but he didn’t even want to believe his own words.
I don’t care what you’re planning. If I don’t get any accurate information about the demon lair within an hour, you’ll die!
After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, Shi Gu wailed in his heart. He knew that he would definitely not be able to fool them today.
Damn it, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have come out to hunt.
Even if he had to starve for another month, to the point of dying from hunger, it would not matter.
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets. Bone erosion had to make a choice.
He would die either way, so he could only choose to follow the demon in front of him. Perhaps he could still fight for his life.
As an ambitious demonic servant born in a small village in the wilderness and who had just entered the city for less than a year, eroding bones was very eager to make some achievements and return home with honor one day.
In the underground magic servant circle in their area, there had never been a real demon, not even the lowest-level hybrid demon.
If he could do this, he would definitely bring honor to his ancestors and become a legend in his family.
Having made up his mind, Shi Gu quickly said,”I seem to have heard someone mention a demon’s lair, but I’m not sure about the exact location. However, I know that it’s a bar.
If you’re willing, I can lead you there. I’m sure you’ll be able to find it. ”
Since he had already decided to follow Tang Zhen, Shi Gu immediately displayed his loyalty, looking like a qualified Lackey.
As soon as these words left his mouth, he felt that his body that had been confined had returned to normal. In his heart, he was even more certain that it was Tang Zhen who had done this.
The means of the demon Lord were indeed impossible to guard against, and he could not resist it at all.
At the thought of this, Shi Gu broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn’t agreed quickly enough, he might have been slapped into a meat patty by now.
Demons were fickle in their emotions. They didn’t need a reason to kill, it all depended on their mood.
“Your Excellency, please follow me. I’ll lead the way.”
As Shi Gu spoke, his body began to shrink. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into an ordinary-looking young man.
Then, he took out some clothes from the pocket on the side and quickly put them on. He looked no different from a normal person.
The low-level demonic servants did not have their own demon lairs. They could only hide in the crowd and would not reveal their true forms easily.
Not only did evil demons exist in this world, but there were also cultivators who could deal with them. They were called demon hunters and were the natural enemies of evil demons.
The moment both sides met, they would fight to the death.
This was also the reason why he had always been hungry after entering the city. He was afraid that he would be discovered by the wandering demon hunters at night when he went out to hunt.
His strength was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary strong man, and he had not revealed his innate ability as an evil demon. Once he was discovered by demon hunters, he would definitely be beheaded in exchange for a bounty.
Because of the existence of evil demons, large-scale disasters would occur from time to time in this world. The officials had no choice but to issue a huge reward to encourage demon hunters to kill evil demons.
Sometimes, the appearance of a demonic servant would even attract the pursuit of a dozen demon hunters. The possibility of successfully escaping from a group of money-minded demon hunters was close to zero.
Tang Zhen did not directly follow the corrosive bone. Instead, he looked at the young lady’s soul that was curled up beside the corpse and was about to dissipate at any moment.
“Shi Gu, did you kill her?”
Shi Gu nodded his head when he heard Tang Zhen’s question.
Because of his unbearably hungry stomach, he had no choice but to muster his courage and risk being chased by the Demon Hunters to block the girl who was returning late in this alley.
This was just a random hunt, and the girl could only blame her bad luck for running into a cowardly and famished rotten bones.
Tang Zhen glanced at the young lady’s soul that was about to dissipate. He slowly walked in front of her and extended his hand to take out a black substance.
The White flames ignited the black substance, and then a gray smoke appeared, surrounding the girl’s soul.
The girl’s soul, who was initially filled with fear and sorrow, suddenly showed a shocked and intoxicated expression. She then stretched her neck with all her might, trying to absorb the gray mist into her body.
Very quickly, her body left the ground, and like a fish, she danced in the dark alley.
It was as if they were feeling extreme happiness, and they couldn’t help but dance. The scene was beautiful but strange.
Rotten bones ‘eyes widened. Although he couldn’t tell what the gray smoke was, he was certain that it was extremely valuable.
Even when he sniffed a wisp of smoke, he felt extremely comfortable all over, and even his mind became especially clear.
Especially the unbearable hunger in his stomach, which disappeared after inhaling the smoke, and it was definitely not an illusion.
Shi Gu’s heart was filled with excitement. If he could take in this smoke every now and then, not only would he be able to avoid the torture of hunger, but he would also be able to increase his strength.
However, he also knew in his heart that this kind of good thing must be very precious, and he was not worthy of it at all.
“Your Excellency, what treasure is this?”
Although Shi Gu knew in his heart that he had no fate with such a good item, he still could not suppress his curiosity. He wanted to know what kind of treasure it was.
“This is the soul devouring sand. It’s priceless and is the best soul nourishment.
If I’m satisfied with the way you handle things, I might be able to reward you with some that will be very helpful in increasing your strength.”
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s words, Shi Gu’s face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. It was as though he did not dare to believe that this was true.
He felt as if a meat pie had fallen from the sky, and his heart was beating like a drum, as if his skin would burst at any time.
Shi Gu really wanted to confirm if Tang Zhen had really made such a promise. However, he was afraid that he would incur Tang Zhen’s dissatisfaction if he asked this question.
With a heavy heart, rotten bones turned to look at the soul of the young girl beside him, only to see a twisted face staring at him with blood-red eyes.
The girl’s body was clearly more solid than before. In the dark night, she didn’t look much different from a real person.
A wisp of aura that made eroding bones tremble was emitted from the young girl’s soul. It seemed to be filled with indescribable hatred and resentment.
When their eyes met, the girl’s soul suddenly reached out her arms and clutched at rotten bones ‘neck.
Feeling the cold aura invade his body and being unable to resist it at all, Shi Gu felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
Damn it, am I going to die Here today?
