Free Web NovelThe demons looked at each other, and visible question marks popped up above their heads.
What's with 'local' and 'outsider'? Do demons even differentiate like that?
But the 'local' demon opposite them spoke again, quite familiarly:
"Decades ago, I quietly wandered into Great King Village, and I've been here ever since, so it's not an exaggeration to call myself a local."
"You've been here for decades, yet this village and town are still here. Why haven't you devoured all the people here?"
The Human-Snake Leader narrowed his snake-like eyes.
The reason he was a leader, besides being stronger, was that the Human-Snake Race was more insidious and cunning.
Although he didn't detect anything unusual from Li Mo's Qi, he vaguely felt something was off.
Demons were naturally bloodthirsty, unable to control their desire to eat, yet this Human-Snake claimed he had stayed in a village and town for decades, and the village ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) remained safe and sound.
Something was wrong, nine-tenths of it was wrong.
"Oh, you mean that? That's naturally because I'm smart."
Li Mo not only showed no fear but was full of pride, declaring confidently:
"I believe everyone, like me, loves to eat children the most, right?"
"Indeed."
The demons nodded in agreement.
The older a Mortal got, the worse he tasted. Was it because the longer he lived, the more suffering he endured?
"But children aren't always easy to find; you can't just eat them whenever you want. So I came up with a method."
Li Mo had a profound expression:
"I keep the villagers of this village in captivity and often scare them. They will then regularly send me offerings. Although I can't enjoy a full meal all at once, having something to eat every year is better than eating a lot once and then starving for a long time."
"I call this 'sustainable human farming'."
"Hiss..."
The demons leaned back slightly, a glint of wisdom in their eyes.
That makes sense.
The Human-Snake Leader was also thinking.
If so many demons feasted during this large-scale invasion of Human City, wouldn't the Mortals in Human City be devoured very quickly?
The Heavenly Race were tough bones to chew, and the Earth City warriors weren't enough to eat.
If the Mortals in Human City were eaten up, what would they eat later?
Suddenly, their gazes towards Li Mo became appreciative. This was indeed a ruthless, clever, and cunning Human-Snake.
Seeing this, the Human-Snake Leader felt his intelligence was being suppressed and his status threatened.
So he looked at Li Mo unkindly and said:
"This place belongs to us now. Get out."
"Don't be like that. It's not easy to meet family. As fellow townsfolk, how can we not entertain you? I'm quite good at cooking children. How about I make you a meal to try?"
Li Mo was very enthusiastic.
Hearing him praise his cooking skills to the heavens, the hungry demons' appetites were greatly stimulated, and they became ravenous. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"I think we can try it."
"You'd better not be lying to us."
"If it's well made, we'll give you a chance to join us, specifically to prepare blood meals for us."
"In that case, lead the way!"
Seeing everyone's high spirits, the Human-Snake Leader could only nod.
After Li Mo said 'Please,' he twisted his body and led the way.
As he walked, he also tried to gather some information.
But the Human-Snake Leader kept his mouth quite shut and didn't reveal too much.
Soon, they entered the pre-built altar next to the village, where indeed many Mortals were kneeling in welcome.
Large stones had also been set out in advance for the demons to use as tables and chairs.
It seemed Li Mo was right; under his years of tyranny, this village had become his personal backyard.
How delightful.
More than ten demons showed envy. To possess such a large village and town, with humans as slaves, this life was too comfortable.
They silently planned to consult Li Mo so they could imitate him in the future.
"No rush yet. Let's start with cold dishes. Everyone, please wait a little longer for the meat dishes."
Li Mo said.
He then ordered Er Niu and Tie Zhu to bring him a large stall, filled with fragrant sorghum wine.
He drank it with relish.
As he drank, he grabbed handfuls of peanuts and cold seaweed salad to go with the wine.
"What are you drinking?" a rat-headed demon asked.
"Oh, this is wine, something humans drink. You probably won't be used to it."
Li Mo subtly cleared his throat, appearing unwilling to share.
"Hehe, we're all family, don't be stingy. Let me try some," the rat-headed demon chuckled, rubbing his hands.
"I'm a snake, you're a rat. What kind of family are we?"
"Don't the Human Race often say 'snakes and rats in the same nest'?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"That makes sense."
Li Mo was convinced and handed a jar to his 'family'.
For Mortals, it was a full jar, but for the large-bodied demons, it was just a mouthful.
The rat-headed demon finished it, still wanting more, his face full of lingering taste.
"Is it good?" a demon asked, swallowing saliva.
"Sweet, spicy! Better than nectar!"
"Let me try too..."
Finally, even the Human-Snake Leader couldn't resist.
Li Mo sighed and said with feigned heartache: "Since we're all family, I'll bring out all my reserves today. Drink to your heart's content."
So, jars of wine were brought up.
As they drank, they noticed something was a bit off.
"Why am I a little dizzy?"
"If you only drink wine and don't eat food, how can you not be dizzy?"
"Then why isn't the food here yet?"
"Soon."
But very quickly, the demons were more than just dizzy; the world in their eyes began to turn kaleidoscopic.
"Old Wolf, why do you have three heads?"
"Hahaha, Rat King, your head has turned into a duck's head!"
"This wine really makes one drunk easily..."
"No good, we seem to be poisoned!"
A spider demon was skilled at hunting with its poisonous fangs.
The last time it bit itself, it experienced these symptoms, which is why it reacted.
Immediately, the demons' expressions changed dramatically. They all stood up, finally realizing something was wrong.
However, it was too late. They were deeply poisoned and had no strength.
"There was a small accident, but it's not a big problem."
Li Mo hadn't expected a poisonous spider to be immune to his poison, but he had already prepared for some demons having resistance to toxins.
However, the satchel of poison he found at home worked even better than he expected.
In the end, only one spider demon slipped through the net.
"Act!"
Li Mo smashed his cup as a signal.
Immediately, the townspeople who had been kneeling on the ground stopped pretending and revealed their weapons.
"What do you want to do!" the demons roared.
"Fellow townsfolk seeing fellow townsfolk..." Li Mo raised his hammer.
The demons departed peacefully... "Too brutal..."
Outside, there was the sound of swallowing, and those who had brought children covered their children's eyes.
Huang Donglai showed relief:
"The methods I brought for Brother Li finally came in handy."
"Alas, it's a pity I couldn't go in with him, otherwise I could have handled this matter even more beautifully."
Upon hearing this, everyone quietly moved a little further away from him.
"By the way, I haven't seen Han Xianzi in a long time."
"Since she's not in King Town, where did she go?"
Not long after, the scene returned to the Human City wall, in front of the South Gate.
By this time, a large number of demons had already entered the city. After discovering no signs of counterattack from the Heavenly Race City, the people from Hundred Beast Hall also began to pass through the city gate one after another.
"The Heavenly Race are nothing special after all."
"Hey, do you suddenly feel a bit cold?"
The people of the Demonic Cult were talking when they suddenly all shivered.
