I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

【Analysis Successful, Demon Illustrated Handbook Entry ― ― 123 Jackalwere Trickster】

After adding "Jackalwere Trickster" to the handbook, Li Yue understood why jackalweres, besides giving people the impression of being "bloodthirsty," were also considered cunning. These jackalweres could alter their body shape to a certain extent and skillfully mimic the sounds of various creatures, making them extremely deceptive. This led to a famous saying on the Continent of Chaos.

"In places where jackalweres are found, even if you hear your lover speaking to you, do not turn around."

Their "weaknesses" are slightly different from those of jackals and jackalwere hunters, including not only the "lower abdomen" but also the throat, obviously related to their vocal mimicry.

And this Jackalwere Trickster being marked by Yingying with a hexagram suggests that it is different from ordinary tricksters ― ― in addition to vocal mimicry, this jackalwere has mastered the "skill of leatherworking."

This ability comes from the "Freak" family, the same origin as the demonic relic on Yingying ― ― by donning the skin of humans or demons, the Jackalwere Trickster can change its appearance to better create deception.

The "skin" is made using saliva, kneading, and other secret methods. After it puts it on, it can not only change its image but also add many resistance effects, combining bewilderment and defense, even having the same wonders as Li Yue's Demon Blueprints.

This also became the "drop material" of this Jackalwere Trickster, making Li Yue extremely envious ― ― Freak's Skin / Trickster's Vocal Cords.

Unfortunately, Li Yue couldn't determine the drop rate of "Freak's Skin," nor could he determine whether killing this trickster would yield either of the two items, let alone whether it was the "wolf in human skin."

Because Li Yue found it hard to imagine what impact this trickster could have on him through the thick earth.

Having confirmed its identity, Li Yue also confirmed its purpose ― ― to lead the noble to a certain place, a place that was definitely not the exit.

Li Yue opened the cave map in his mind and realized that after twisting and turning, the trickster was leading the noble to the depths of the cave, then turning into a side cave.

"Are you sure this is the way out? I feel like we're going deeper?" The noble vaguely sensed something was wrong.

"Did you want to swagger out of the cave entrance? Walk into the jackalwere encirclement?" The Jackalwere Trickster argued plausibly, "We can only sneak out through the most hidden passage, follow me, you're already lucky enough…"

The noble had already followed to this point, of course, he wouldn't give up. He tried to steady the Jackalwere Trickster, listening to his directions ― ― the noble had just witnessed the trickster being beaten the worst. Although he didn't eat hands or feet, he was at least repeatedly struck up and down, making the cave tremble. Obviously, he was also a noble with a high degree of mastery of demonology, not someone he could contend with.

Then, the noble and the Jackalwere Trickster entered the side cave, and Li Yue's consciousness extended with their movements, then his scalp tingled.

There was no firelight in that side cave, only the sound of grinding teeth, a continuous grinding sound, like countless centipedes fearing the cold.

Hearing this sound, the noble subconsciously wanted to escape, but just as he dropped the Jackalwere Trickster, he was grabbed by a tail that stretched out inexplicably and thrown into the side cave.

"Kids! Dinner's ready!" The Jackalwere Trickster laughed heartily.

And Li Yue's perception opened up, "seeing" about dozens of jackalwere cubs in the side cave, dragging their umbilical cords, pouncing on the noble, mouths working up and down.

"Ah… Ah!" The fallen noble couldn't utter a complete sentence, his voice gradually weakened, then disappeared.

"Wait, leave me the skin… Never mind." The Jackalwere Trickster spoke too late, the cubs had already torn the noble apart, leaving only blood splattered on the ground.

"If you eat your fill, you'll have the strength to grow up…" The Jackalwere Trickster turned around and went back to the torture chamber, muttering to himself on the way, "The hyena's strength is still not good enough, I didn't hit hard enough, he was seen through by the human halfway, I have to tell him…"

Li Yue concentrated in the soil, accepting this ideological transformation ― ― the jackalwere family had no scruples in the Demon King's city,

They even dared to catch nobles who came to participate in the fallen ritual and eat them…

And obviously, this wasn't the first time they had done this. They wouldn't show mercy to the brain spirits, only treating them as snacks.

When the fourth match of the Slaughter Cup was determined, the brain spirits of the library and the jackalwere family of the forbidden forest… only one side could continue to survive.

Then they must be exterminated ― ― Li Yue thought so.

At this point, Li Yue had added three types of jackalweres, 122 to 124, only the leader of 121 had not been added to the Demon Illustrated Handbook; and three of the five special jackalweres marked by Yingying had also been added, more than halfway done, only two left, at the junction of the inner and outer caves and the deepest part of the cave.

Li Yue had reason to guess that one of them must be the leader of the jackalweres, which is 121.

And when Li Yue arrived at the junction of the inner and outer caves, he didn't see the target, but instead saw the flying jackalwere Flayner pulling the Jackalwere Trickster, saying something.

The Jackalwere Trickster was still in human form, bloodstained at the corner of his mouth, as if he had just finished a big meal.

"Masna! The boss said stop playing, the Slaughter Cup is in a few days, our opponents are the library and Budibugg, we have to think about how to kill them!" Flayner pulled the Jackalwere Trickster, walking towards the inner layer of the cave.

"Brain Spirit Lord, Brain Spirit… not tasty, not fun." The trickster Masna was reluctant, seemingly disturbed by Flayner interrupting his eating pleasure.

"You know nothing, it is said that Budibugg has mutated, and has grown a lot of bones on his body," Flayner said excitedly, accidentally a chill escaped from his armpit, freezing Masna stuttering.

"Bone… bones?" Masna obviously preferred skin and flesh, "That seems enough for you to eat, oh?"

"Of course! The King of the Arena gave the boss a hundred places, this time the boss is going to pick out a hundred elites, a hundred and fifty elites! To destroy the library!" Flayner was generous and impassioned, seemingly not good at arithmetic, "That old wolf Fentus won't give us jackalweres a way to live, can't we completely change places to live?"

"Library… not as happy as the forbidden forest, right? Books can't be eaten?" Masna still couldn't get interested, "Besides, I'm not good at fighting, don't call me to go."

"If I go, I will definitely be given some 'kill, kill, kill' thoughts in my head by that bastard who is good at manipulating minds, I don't like it, don't count me in." Masna mentioned a jackalwere that Li Yue hadn't added yet.

Good at manipulating minds? Li Yue's brain grooves twitched.

This may cause some interference to the "Slaughter Sea Butterfly" tactics, and it doesn't seem to be an ability that jackalweres themselves can possess… It seems that this Mandena is the fourth marked jackalwere?

"What are you talking about, UU reading, aren't you a jackalwere elite? Like you, like me, Elana, and Mandena, whom you hate the most… definitely all have to participate." Flayner was very clear about this, "Follow me, the boss has already thought about it, this time we will double the wealth of our jackalwere family!"

Huh? The jackalwere family's boss, the same as what I thought?

Li Yue felt quite sympathetic when he heard this ― ― his plan was to go all in this time, to accumulate a wave of wealth, and then go to the demon market to squander when the full moon comes.

"Double? Will the supply of the vegetable garden also double?" Masna still wanted human skin more, "There's not enough vegetables, this time we ran to the ritual chamber to steal vegetables, and many brothers died."

"What's that?" Flayner didn't care, "As long as Elana is there, we can find the right time to enter the ritual chamber when no one is there to steal vegetables… The library is even closer to the ritual chamber…"

"Who… called me?" As the two jackalweres spoke, a familiar figure joined the conversation, it was the eyemonk jackalwere that Li Yue had just added not long ago, Elana.

"Let's go, let's go to the blood sacrifice, the boss has something to say." Flayner saw that he had finally gathered everyone, and pulled the eyemonk jackalwere Elana and the trickster Masna to the depths together.

"Okay…" Masna wiped his mouth and walked forward a little, not wanting to be hit by Flayner's cold air again.

"Wait," Elana didn't take a step, but looked at a bare rock wall, "How… it's you again?"

Being seen once can be said to be a coincidence; being seen a second time, can it still be muddled through?

Li Yue knew that he had been seen through by the eyemonk again, and hurriedly picked up insects to eat leisurely.

【Malice + 444】

Li Yue knew something was wrong and waved seven tentacles, quickly retreating.
