Chapter 208 Outside Yongye City
The Forgotten City is like a bright pearl in the wilderness. The Arcane Ring suspended in the sky constitutes the upper structure of the city. It is an area that Mu Hua and Nick are not qualified to set foot in.
When looking from a distance, some floating castles are connected to the periphery of the Arcane Ring. This is a city that perfectly integrates technology and magic.
Compared with the neat and mysterious Forgotten City, the area outside the city maintains a natural environment where plants grow wildly.
This is definitely not intentional. I am afraid that no one takes care of it and no one pays attention to the things outside the city.
Except for a relatively straight road running through the entire courtyard, there are basically no traces of artificial construction in the area near the Forgotten City.
Even this road looks like it was swept out by some powerful magic.
The primitive natural environment breeds a large number of poisonous insects, snakes and rats. It is said that the demons who manage the courtyard will also release some magic beasts in the courtyard.
But even intermediate magic beasts are usually framed and killed by the little demons who regard them as threats before they reproduce naturally.
Well, the little devil is just a snack for most mid-level monsters, but the rice warehouse can also drown people. . .
The Daylight River, a river that seems to always emit a purple glow.
This river is the main river of Yongye Territory, and it winds through all directions of the courtyard.
The reason why this river emits a strange light is that the demons will throw demon eggs into the river, let them drift with the current, drift to various places in the courtyard, and also let the demon eggs hatch in the water.
This is a river transformed from the blood sea of hell, and it is the cradle for the little devil.
Although the color of the water is weird, it must be said that the water of the Daylight River does not affect human drinking, and even has a certain effect of improving human physique.
As for the effectiveness? Well, at least it is much stronger than the mineral water that Mu Hua boasted about in his previous life, but it always reminds Mu Hua of a group of cheaters, and Mu Hua is not interested in this river water. . .
A large number of skeletons walked in the lush wilderness, and a group of ravens flew between the shady trees. When these ravens flew and gathered, they formed a flock of birds like a dark cloud.
Leaving the city and stepping into this primitive landform, it was fortunate that Mu Hua had a face with a healthy complexion, otherwise the atmosphere he created would definitely be more like a lich than a human.
The undead team composed of skeleton warriors and skeleton guards, even if there were hundreds of undead of this level, would not cause the little demons to flee at the first sign of the storm.
The undead lance controlled by the magician's hand was suspended beside Mu Hua. It was like a wandering venomous snake. Some little demons hidden among the trees, grass and stones would often be pierced by the lance as long as they touched Mu Hua's sight.
Skeleton guard summoned beasts, fifty dragon tooth soldiers, more than thirty skeleton mages, and hundreds of skeleton warriors regarded as cannon fodder by Mu Hua.
These undeads hunted in groups of three or five. In addition to the skeleton wizard who followed Mu Hua, other skeleton undeads would drag back some dead or half-crippled demons from time to time so that the skeleton wizard could harvest experience.
Mu Hua had a lot of experience beads, but he didn't plan to use them on the skeleton wizard, at least before they were unable to improve their own experience.
A large number of skeleton undeads, scattered around, also had a sense of grandeur.
In fact, Mu Hua had more skeleton warriors, but he hadn't found a place where the demons were more dense for the time being. Releasing more would delay the exploration speed.
Demons are different from goblins. Strictly speaking, demons cannot be considered social creatures.
Because they have a very strong need to evolve, and demons at this stage, eating their own kind is very helpful for them to clarify their own bloodline.
Just like simple addition and subtraction, a little demon with the blood of the Flame Demon can improve its blood of the Flame Demon by eating a little demon with the same blood of the Flame Demon. If it eats enough, it can make the Flame Demon blood stand out among its many bloods.
But apart from the dominant blood directly inherited from the previous generation, the little demons don’t know what other bloods they have.
As the saying goes, only children make choices, and the little demons want them all!
Since there is no choice, why not try to eat as much as possible?
This also leads to the possibility that the little demons may be stabbed in the back by their own kind at any time.
Unless they encounter a threat that requires them to gather together, they will choose to live alone and hide most of the time.
Generally, when the skeletons gather together, the attribute states of the skeletons of all levels are very average, because the uneven ones are killed by them.
And if more than a dozen little demons gather together in a relatively comfortable environment, if there is no corresponding restraint, it may take only a few days for these dozen little demons to enter the stomach of one of them.
This kind of survival atmosphere of absolute survival of the fittest may also be the fundamental reason for the devil's cunning and cruel character.
For Mu Hua now, the little devils are easy to kill. They are much safer than the little devils who can cast fireball magic.
However, due to lack of concentration, Mu Hua could not find the feeling of slaughtering happily.
Going forward along the direction of a section of the river leading to the Daylight River, walking and stopping, and waiting for the skeleton warriors chasing the fleeing little devils to catch up from time to time.
Occasionally, flying winged demons can be seen in the sky. When observing the undead teams on the ground, most of them will watch curiously.
When the existence of Mu Hua, a human, is confirmed, the winged demons often leave directly.
Until nightfall, Mu Hua arrived at the river. According to the succubus lady in the Garden of Eden, there are more little demons gathered along the banks of the Daylight River.
The Daylight River should have been transformed by the Lord of the Courtyard in some way. This river is very suitable for hatching demon eggs.
Because many demon eggs will hatch in the Daylight River, compared to attacking those of the same kind that are also fatal threats to them, many little demons in the courtyard will lurk by the water to sneak attack those newly hatched little demons.
This is a world full of barbarism and cruelty. Compared with the aggressive little demons in the wild, the higher-level demons in this courtyard are surprisingly harmonious.
Contradictions and chaos filled the wilderness, and along the way, some attribute crystals were harvested, and several magician's hand skill stones were harvested. Mu Hua seemed to have become a cruel member of this wilderness.
"Hey! Look what I see? A necromancer." A rude and somewhat teasing voice came.
The Bairi River is not a small ditch. Mu Hua asked the undead to search for nearby little demons along the river. In the river that was more than ten feet wide, a horned demon commander saw Mu Hua driving the undead on a ship docked.
"Human, take care of those dirty undead. This is the first time I have seen a necromancer in Yongye Territory. I thought you were only interested in bones and corpses."
After making eye contact with Mu Hua, the horned demon commander led a team of low- and medium-level demons of mixed races towards Mu Hua.
Horned demon commanders, a strong demon with an adult height of four meters. Commander is not their position, but the name of this group.
This kind of demon belongs to the middle-level demon, but its strength can generally reach the level of high-level demons.
They have thick demon horns, strong physiques, and are good at close combat.
Because they are almost immune to all mental interference magic, whether it is Arakne's charm, the headless knight's fear, or the nightmare's hypnosis, they will not have adverse effects on them.
They can even ignore the dragon's might.
So they are usually appointed as front-line commanders like military supervisors on the battlefield, which is the origin of their name.
The number of demons led by the Horned Demon Overlord is not large, more than 30 hell werewolves, more than a dozen claw demons, a spider demon still in spider form, and two Lamia demons similar to Medusa.
This is also a demon hunting team. Their purpose is the same as Mu Hua's, which is to hunt little demons.
If it is based on the habits of the human world, they should be regarded as public servants in this courtyard.
Little demons don't just attack little demons, they will attack any creature by setting traps.
The little demons gathered by the river are also troublesome. In this courtyard, there will also be people like the Horned Demon Overlord in front of you, who will clean up the little demons regularly.
While they kill the little demons, they also collect the bodies of the little demons, and these bodies will be used to feed some of the little demons they raise.
So that the demons with relatively good bloodlines will be born from those little demons, and then the courtyard master will select and pick out the existence suitable for being subdued and raised.
The courtyard master of this courtyard does not seem to be obsessed with the emotional power provided by humans. This place is like her demon breeding farm.
And from the fact that she mainly selects female demons, perhaps this is just her leisure work that is better than nothing?
"What? What's the problem?" Facing the approaching Horned Demon Overlord, Mu Hua was cold and a little wary.
Although it is said that in this courtyard, the "official" demons should be existences that pose no threat to humans, but who can say for sure about these demons?
