Chapter 300 Demon General
This demon city had only a few meters high simple earthen walls on the outside, and the houses inside were all low and dilapidated mud huts. Only one house was relatively tall and magnificent, which must have been the residence of the so-called Black Dream Demon General.
Not to mention compared to the Southern Tang capital that Lin Fei was familiar with, even any random human town would be a hundred times better than this demon city.
This city is less like a city and more like a primitive tribe. These demons truly live like savages, their behavior is hardly admirable.
……
Upon reaching the outskirts of the city, where the city was visible, the demon youth suddenly became timid, unwilling to take another step forward. He whispered to Lin Fei, "My lord, if we are to enter the city, could you please conceal your appearance?"
Lin Fei looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Oh? Is there something wrong with my appearance?"
The demon boy quickly explained, "My lord, you are unaware of this. There has been a long-standing rumor among the demons that the flesh and blood of outsiders like you are the most delicious and nourishing, containing a spiritual energy that the demons do not possess. If you eat it, your cultivation will greatly increase. If the demons in the city see this, they will surely all want to eat your flesh."
Seemingly afraid of displeasing Lin Fei, the demon youth quickly added, "Of course, I don't doubt your strength, sir. Your divine might is invincible, and dealing with those low-level demons is naturally a piece of cake. It's just that if you could conceal your identity, it would save you a lot of trouble."
What he really meant was that he was afraid Lin Fei's outsider status would attract the attention of the demons in the city, threatening his life.
The spiritual energy he referred to, which the demon race lacked, should be the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained within the bodies of cultivators. Whether human or demon, anyone wishing to cultivate must absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth into their body. Only this space within the Demon Realm of the stone tablet is completely isolated from the outside world, making it impossible to absorb even a trace of spiritual energy.
It seems that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also very useful to the demon race. However, since they cannot access this spiritual energy, they have no choice but to resort to the extremely dangerous cultivation method of cannibalism.
Although Lin Fei was not afraid of these so-called demons, he did not want to cause too much trouble before rescuing his master and uncles. So he took out a black cloak and put it on.
The black cloak not only completely concealed Lin Fei's entire body, but it also perfectly concealed his aura. Without considerable strength, it would be impossible to discern the identity of the person beneath the cloak.
The demon boy's face lit up with joy: "Great! This way, everything will be foolproof!"
……
The demon youth led Lin Fei to the outskirts of the city. At the city gate, leaning against a low earthen wall, sat two demon soldiers, more muscular than the demons they had seen before, wearing tattered armor that looked as if it had been stripped from a dead body.
The two demon soldiers lay sprawled on the ground, looking lazy. When they saw someone approaching, they didn't get up but remained seated, shouting in a low voice, "Halt! This is the residence of Lord Black Dream. Low-ranking demons are not allowed to enter!"
The cultivation levels of demons differ from those of human cultivators. Human cultivators cannot be distinguished by their outward appearance; their cultivation levels can only be discerned through the flow of their aura and true energy.
However, demons can tell a person's strength at a glance from their appearance. The stronger the demon, the larger the black horns on its head and the more powerful its limbs.
This demon youth's cultivation level was undoubtedly very low before; even among all demons, he was probably only at the very bottom. Even after consuming the demon leader's demon heart, and although the black horns on his head had grown considerably, he still appeared quite weak compared to other powerful demons.
Lin Fei, standing behind the demon youth, was completely shrouded in a black cloak, making it impossible to see his face. Therefore, the two demons guarding the city gate instinctively assumed they were two low-ranking demons and prevented them from entering the city.
In order to show his worth in front of Lin Fei, the demon youth hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile to the two demon soldiers, "My lords, my master and I have important matters to report to Lord Hei Meng. Please inform him."
"Important business?" One of the demon soldiers glanced at the black horns on the demon boy's head and sneered disdainfully, "What important business could a mere low-level demon have? You dare to dream of seeing Lord Black Dream? Do you think you can just see Lord Black Dream whenever you want? Get the hell out of here, or I'll kill you for a meal!"
For these demons, it's commonplace for the strong to devour the weak; they have no qualms about it.
The demon youth gritted his teeth. Though terrified, he dared not retreat. In the demon race's understanding, being useless was tantamount to death. If he proved utterly ineffective, he had no doubt that Lin Fei would kill him immediately. To save his own life, he would even betray his own brother; there was nothing he wouldn't do.
"My lord, my master has something extremely important to tell Lord Black Dream. If this matter is delayed, I'm afraid you, my lord, will suffer the consequences!" the demon youth said coldly. "If I am truly speaking nonsense, Lord Black Dream will ensure my demise without your intervention. But if I delay Lord Black Dream's important matter, I'm afraid even your demonic heart will be lost."
Lin Fei, standing behind the demon youth, nodded in approval as he watched the demon youth handle the situation with such ease.
To humans, demons may seem like a twisted race. They cannibalize their own kind, use sweet talk and flattery, are afraid of death and have countless flaws, seemingly embodying all evil.
However, the greatest advantage of the demon race is that when faced with death, they can unleash their greatest potential and resort to any means necessary to seek a chance of survival.
Compared to humans, demons seem to lay all their dark nature nakedly on the table, without any concealment, so real that it makes one feel a chilling coldness.
The demon soldiers leaning against the city wall thought for a moment, then one of them slowly stood up: "Since you're courting death, don't blame me. Fine, come with me! I doubt you can pull any tricks!"
From the demons he had encountered before, and from the demon soldiers before him, Lin Fei couldn't figure out exactly how the demons' strength was divided into different realms. He also wanted to see what level of strength a demon at the Demon General realm was equivalent to among human cultivators.
The demon soldiers led Lin Fei and his companion into the city.
