I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The first is the "Scroll of Fate"—although Li Yue doesn't understand what this thing can do, the mere mention of "fate" tells him that this item is extraordinary, and its drop rate should be very low.

The second is the "Twisted Pen." Li Yue guesses that it's related to the Demon Scribe's ability to "distort numbers." It can probably be understood as some kind of demonic relic, which might be difficult to stick on his head and embed into the existing template.

The third sounds more ordinary, with only the word "chains." Li Yue is actually looking forward to it being just a simple set of chains—after collecting 500,000 malice and creating 61 "Slaughter Sea Butterflies," Li Yue has developed a great reverence for high-consumption materials, knowing that simple days are best, and saving where he can.

After seeing Damon Benben's drops, Li Yue couldn't help but guess… Boshi's drops should be more than just the "Lava Right Hand." It's just a pity that he killed him too early, and now he can't be sure what else might drop.

Damon Benben is a treasure trove, and so are the other Demonspawn.

Nate Mayer's drop was the "Nightmare Eye." Li Yue took the opportunity to analyze that most of the Nightmare Succubus's spells are cast through her eyes. If he encounters similar enemies in the future, he should try to avoid being seen by "her." Corresponding to Nate Mayer, the Demon Merchant Mai Mai sells the "Appraisal Eye," which can probably accurately identify the value of target items, thus facilitating transactions.

Also, after seeing the Nightmare Succubus and the Demon Merchant, Li Yue began to think about which kind of eye he should install in the future—the "Nightmare Eye" or the "Appraisal Eye"? Or perhaps the eye of a Beholder?

After all, having a "clairvoyance" function is also good…

Wait a minute, who says he can only have two eyes?

Li Yue always forgets occasionally that he is a monster, and there are not so many restrictions…

Among the remaining Demonspawn, Yingying's drop is more abstract, just a "shadow"—Li Yue couldn't think of what a monster would do with two shadows for a while.

The Demon Chef Piggy's drop is still a "stomach pouch," unchanged.

Red-robed Priest Redcoat's drop is a "red robe," which makes Li Yue wonder if the blue-purple cloaks on the upper level of the library… have any connection with the Demon Priests.

Only Egghead's drops cannot be found out. Li Yue deeply suspects that he would have to beat it to explode before he could know; and looking at Egghead, Li Yue even felt that this guy was expecting a demon to beat it to explode.

After a complete round of inspection, Li Yue roughly figured out the drop rule—basically, it's related to the monster's own skills. It may be a part of the body, or an organ, or a carried prop.

Fortunately, Li Yue is a monster himself, and most materials can be used directly without worrying about side effects; and the Demon Illustrated Handbook directly saves a lot of complicated conditions, and can directly prompt the death of the monster to "extract" materials…

If there were no Demon Illustrated Handbook, wanting to obtain these things from monsters would require specific magic, rituals, or props… which would be almost impossible for Li Yue to do.

Red Time is about to end, and Mentor is about to return to chaos. Li Yue hurriedly asked Mentor, along with Egghead and Yingying, to lift the confinement on Yingying—these two Demonspawn have now become one, and each time Yingying leaves the body, it will delay the advancement progress. They don't want to be forcibly isolated by Mentor's magic.

Mentor has no objection to Yingying becoming Egghead's shadow, and even appreciates Yingying's choice, and looks at it with more favor.

At the same time, Mentor is too lazy to ask Li Yue how to help Egghead and Yingying sneak into the arena—controlling the authority of the library, holding a massive amount of knowledge, and having his own blessing… it would be strange if he couldn't do it.

Mentor only asked Li Yue one thing: "Can you win?"

"Of course." Li Yue flicked his unruly tentacle hair, "Sweep everything away."

"I've seen many demons who have that expression before they die." Mentor just nodded, and Li Yue understood in his heart—although he had settled Egghead and Yingying's participation, he still had to go to the Forbidden Forest before that.

The reason why he called Mentor to lift Yingying's restrictions today is also because of this—tomorrow's Green Time, Li Yue will go to the Forbidden Forest with Egghead and Yingying to secretly visit the Gnoll family, first collect their information, and make full preparations.

After all, it is the largest force in the Forbidden Forest besides the Demon Wolf King, and Li Yue will certainly not be careless.

The main reason for bringing Egghead is because Li Yue needs Yingying—in the Forbidden Forest, where the trees provide shade everywhere, having a shadow to protect him will be of great help, whether for reconnaissance or reducing interference.

Just as the three demons got Mentor's "permission" and turned to leave, a burst of red blocked their way.

It was Red-robed Priest Redcoat.

"I request… to join the battle with the Gnoll family in four days." Redcoat lowered his head slightly, actually expressing a hint of flattery to the three demons.

Li Yue looked at the 401 Red-robed Priest in front of him, and couldn't figure out what he wanted—the Red-robed Priest's action prediction success rate is 178%, which is lower than that of Demon Scribe Damon Benben. Li Yue has reason to suspect that such a low prediction success rate is related to the "concealment" skills innately mastered by this type of monster.

"Oogie Boogie…" Li Yue wanted to use the Gambling Demon as a shield again, but was interrupted by Redcoat.

"I divined… that the three of you will participate in the Slaughter Cup… so please don't… assume I'm stupid…" Redcoat is harder to fool than Damon Benben.

"Is that so…" Since he couldn't hide it, Li Yue tried to at least confirm in the conversation whether Redcoat had any malice, "State your reason for wanting to participate."

"My advancement… requires a ritual… a ritual involving more than a hundred souls…" The Red-robed Priest's voice was intermittent, "The library has 60 brain spirits… the Gnoll family is more than that… it's one of the few… opportunities that meet the ritual conditions…"

Listening to Redcoat's simple description, Li Yue inexplicably remembered the Red-robed Priest who inserted red blood vessels in the Blood River Simulation Battle, and also remembered the mountain thrown towards Steel City at the end of the battle, thinking that this kind of group battle… is indeed an excellent occasion for the Red-robed Priest to exert his power.

It's just a pity that the enemies in that battle were all simulated by the Blood River, and the number of souls was insufficient to meet Redcoat's advancement needs.

But Li Yue really didn't expect that the most sincere Demonspawn who wanted to participate in the Slaughter Cup was actually Redcoat—he is usually silent, and he is also gloomy, making Li Yue even suspect that he can't speak.

"I will not interfere with the battle… nor do I need any changes to your battle strategy… as long as hundreds of souls exist in the field for a moment…" Redcoat was very considerate at this time, making Li Yue unable to guess to what extent his "divination" of the battle situation had reached.

"I know your needs, I will consider it." Until now, Li Yue has not received any malice from Redcoat, at least he can be sure for the time being that his actions are not directed at him, so he first agreed.

If, in tomorrow morning's trip to the Forbidden Forest, it is confirmed that eliminating the Gnoll family requires Redcoat's help, Li Yue can also consider taking him along.

"Okay… if you are willing to cooperate… you can tell me… I will directly contact the Demon King Mentor to submit the application…" Redcoat said firmly, and eagerly wanted to confirm his participation.

Li Yue guessed that his method… should be some kind of ritual that can communicate with the Chaos Realm. He turned his mind and suddenly felt that it would be good to use Redcoat as a messenger—at least he doesn't need to passively wait for Oogie Boogie to contact him and confirm the betting content.

"Of course… I will not accept your help for nothing…" Redcoat seemed very sure that Li Yue would win that Slaughter Cup, "I can offer some sincerity in advance… and tell you some information…"

"For example… what you will encounter in the Forbidden Forest tomorrow morning…" Redcoat lowered his head deeply, and the blood color on his red robe gradually thickened.
