I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The jackalweres stepped into the ranks, each looking spirited. They would say a single sentence and then wait for the jackalwere leader to announce the next one, so there wasn't much room for Li Yue to improvise. Saying one line was enough; he could just stand there.

Li Yue's imitation was perfect, and he used Hayena's original lines, so he didn't arouse any suspicion. He obediently shrank to the edge and began analyzing the jackalwere leader—as long as he recorded this giant jackalwere, today's mission would be complete, and he could retreat.

But just as Li Yue enveloped the jackalwere leader with his thoughts, he was shocked to find… there was no reaction?

It was like analyzing a wildflower or a dead tree; the Demon Illustrated Handbook didn't pop up with any prompts.

Li Yue was puzzled. At first, he thought there was something wrong with the Demon Illustrated Handbook, and he couldn't help but move two steps closer to the inner circle. As soon as Li Yue moved, Elana quickly noticed and scanned over.

【Hayena… wants to get close to the boss…?】

The jackalweres' "action prediction success rate" fluctuated around 80%. Li Yue immediately didn't dare to move rashly and picked at his teeth—as expected of the jackalwere family's scout; even this small movement was noticed…

Seeing Hayena's natural movements, Elana also shifted his gaze, constantly watching for any changes in the field. However, Li Yue still didn't receive the "Analyzing" prompt. Puzzled, a terrifying thought rose in his mind.

Could it be… the jackalwere leader… isn't alive?

After all, the Demon Illustrated Handbook could even analyze the current city lord and the Demon King mentor. Yet now, it couldn't even record the jackalwere family's leader?

Li Yue sensed the giant jackalwere's strong physique and muscles, but he couldn't figure out why this strange development was happening. After thinking for a long time, Li Yue refocused his thoughts on the Mind Jackalwere, Mandena, unsure if the "Staff of Deception" was causing the current situation.

While Li Yue was puzzled, the first batch of "warriors" had already been selected—Hayena was the 83rd jackalwere called to the high platform. Next, the leader announced a dozen more, and the blood sacrifice was about to enter the next stage.

Those jackalweres who weren't called were naturally a little disgruntled, especially those who were just a few spots away from being selected. They were scratching their heads and staring at the stage, and Li Yue even received malice from a few jackalwere hunters.

In whispers, the jackalweres knew that the Arena King might open the back door for the jackalwere family, and the number of participating warriors wasn't absolute. They still had a chance, so they relaxed again.

“Next… my warriors… you will receive the jackalweres' ‘blessing’…” The jackalwere leader drew out his voice, setting the atmosphere. The jackalweres beside the throne and on the high platform howled to the sky.

Wait a minute, blessing?

Li Yue didn't expect the jackalwere family to be into this too. Seeing Mandena raise the "Staff of Deception" again, he thought about it and knew it was almost time to leave—even though he hadn't figured out why the jackalwere leader couldn't be recorded, he had at least understood the Mind Jackalwere's secret and could prioritize it.

As for the jackalwere leader's matter… how could everything go according to his wishes?

Know when to stop, and be resolute when leaving.

Thinking this, Li Yue took advantage of the jackalwere family raising their arms and shouting, and he straightened and raised his right arm, then scratched his jackalwere head three times.

The shadows on the ground were connected, and seemed to fade for a moment. Li Yue knew that Yingying had received the message.

The blood rain stopped, and a large amount of magic power began to surge from the "Staff of Deception." Li Yue also imitated the other jackalweres, raising his hands to embrace the magic power, but in his heart, he was telling Dandan and Yingying to act quickly.

Then there was a earth-shattering roar.

It was as if a hole had been punched in the mountain—all the jackalweres in the cave felt a tremor, and then soil and rocks fell, obscuring their senses.

“Awoo—” The jackalweres were first stunned. After looking at each other, they howled to the sky, confirming an enemy attack.

The jackalwere leader glared angrily, but didn't react further until the Mind Jackalwere Mandena's staff hit the ground. The jackalwere family was excited, and the jackalwere leader let out an angry roar, leading his cubs rumbling out of the cave.

“Dare to disturb the blood sacrifice…” “Kill them—” “Eat them! Eat them!”

Li Yue also hurriedly joined the jackalwere's torrent, while also noticing that the Flying Jackalwere Flena, the Trickster Masna, and the Eyeball Demon Jackalwere Elana exchanged glances for a moment, and the octopus that had just roamed in the soil layer appeared in their minds.

And if Li Yue could see the situation outside the cave, he could see an egg at the entrance, condensing fine particles into the shape of a trumpet…

It shouted…

“I! Am! Super! Delicious!”

“Are they coming?” Dandan divided some particles and arranged words on its shadow.

“They’re coming.” Yingying had been monitoring the jackalwere family's movements, and between the two demons' answers, the outer jackalweres had already run to the tree.

Just now, Yingying tightened its grip on Dandan and smashed into the cave with an egg hammer, directly smashing a large hole above the entrance. The original entrance was sealed, and the jackalweres inside could only pour out from the large hole above, rushing towards the two children of demons.

It was like poking a huge hornet's nest.

As for "Uncle Hayena"… at this time, he was a pile of wolf hair under the tree, and even the skin and flesh had been sucked clean by Dandan, leaving no bones.

“Where is our friend?” Dandan asked about Li Yue.

“Can’t find him, he’s already sneaked into the ground.” Yingying had also been paying attention to Li Yue’s shadow—at a certain corner, Li Yue, who was behind Elana, suddenly disappeared and merged into the soil.

“Then it’s our turn, right? I hope the jackalwere family is strong enough…” Dandan twisted and began to roll towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest, “You watch the direction for me, our meeting point…”

“The meeting point is at Moonlight Trail.” Yingying knew Li Yue’s plan by heart, “Just follow me…”

Li Yue's retreat plan was very simple, which was to let Dandan and Yingying create a big commotion, stabilize the jackalwere family's hatred, and then escape separately.

This was also the plan that came up under Dandan's strong request—after all, this egg hadn't been beaten much this time, and its shell had long been itching.

Dandan and Yingying escaped unhurriedly, and were soon caught up by the outer jackalweres. But the egg and shadow didn't stop, crushing the arms and legs of several jackalweres, and walked through the Forbidden Forest, incomparably freehand.

But soon, the jackalwere family's elites began to rush out of the cave, and a jackalwere also flew into the sky, it was Flena—Flena was carrying Elana, and put the Eyeball Demon Jackalwere on his back.

The eyeball demon on Elana's shoulder firmly locked onto the escape direction of Dandan and Yingying, pointing out the target for Flena.

“Here they come, here they come…” Dandan and Yingying realized that the jackalwere family's elites were all out, and couldn't hide their excitement.

But just as Dandan and Yingying were expecting a powerful opponent, a tree next to them suddenly raised its roots, tripping Dandan on its way forward, and whipping it around in a circle as if it had fallen off.

“I told you… I will be watching you…” The Forest Keeper walked out of the tree, aggressively.

“Oh oh oh, comfortable…” Dandan quietly spelled out words to Yingying.

“Why… you clearly said you were observing and learning… why are you attacking the jackalwere family?” The Forest Keeper looked at the jackalwere family approaching behind him and questioned Dandan and Yingying.

“None of your tree stump business, come again!” Dandan shouted, turning into a spinning top and rushing towards the Forest Keeper, just wanting him to whip it again.

“We are learning… racing.” Yingying also put out a sentence at the same time, and helped Dandan speed up.

The Forest Keeper didn't expect the children of demons to be so lawless, and dared to attack after he blocked their way. He hurriedly summoned more tree roots to form a large net, trying to stop the egg rushing towards him…

For the Forest Keeper, maintaining the balance of the Forbidden Forest was crucial, and it was also his duty to resolve any tribal disputes as soon as possible.

If they only smashed a hole and killed a jackalwere hunter… the Forest Keeper felt that he could quell this small riot with his face.

But when the net of tree roots was cut off by the shadow, and Dandan rushed past the Forest Keeper shouting “Come chase me,” the Forest Keeper felt that… the children of demons were troublesome enough.

Then a large group of jackalweres ran past the Forest Keeper, bringing a strong bloody smell and endless killing intent; there was also a thick petrifying gaze in the air, shooting towards the spinning egg…

The Forest Keeper picked up the tree root that had been stabbed by Yingying on the ground, stroked the crack in the root system, and suddenly didn't want to stop the children of demons—if they escaped like this… maybe there would be less chaos.
