I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"How was that? Was I polite enough just now?" Egg spun around, scattering particles across Shadow, "Our friend said... the Forest Keeper would definitely be provoked, and we should be a little more 'polite' when that happens..."

The particles floated as Egg rolled, forming a tail, allowing the Gnolls to easily grasp the escape route of the two sons of demons without even using their sense of smell. × º °”˜˜`”°º ×

"I think that should be enough. Our 'friend' from before... was even more arrogant when he spoke." Shadow inexplicably recalled the tone Lee Read used when declaring a death sentence on Bosch, and felt that it was very polite to talk to the Forest Keeper just now.

As Egg and Shadow were talking, a petrifying ray came from the sky, hitting the spinning Egg—suddenly, Egg paused, turning into a stone egg, and even the surrounding ground was petrified.

But in the blink of an eye, cracks appeared in the stone egg, and Egg broke out of the stone and jumped up high, continuing to escape.

"Hmm... is this petrification? Not very fun." Egg commented on Elana's petrifying gaze, "It can't even break through my shell, not as good as that whip just now."

Egg spoke as it fled, taking the opportunity to sweep around with its particle tail, but couldn't find any trace of the Forest Keeper.

"Eh? Where's the Forest Keeper? Why aren't they chasing us anymore? Were we too polite?" Egg felt a little nostalgic.

Taking advantage of the moment when Egg was petrified, a Gnoll hunter chased closer, biting down on Egg as it leaped!

"Crack..." Teeth shattered, and Egg fell heavily, knocking off the Gnoll hunter's jaw.

"Giggle giggle..." Egg found it fun and wanted to slow down a bit, but Shadow grabbed it and sped up.

"Save the fun for the Slaughter Cup, we need to appear weaker." Shadow had just pierced the Forest Keeper's root network, so it wasn't really appropriate to say this now.

Egg didn't have time to pay attention to Shadow, because the flying Gnoll was now pouncing together with the Eye Demon Gnoll; and the two cold glints in his hand were as dazzling as starlight, a freezing aura rushing towards Egg.

Shadow naturally sensed the two Gnolls in the sky that it had marked, and suddenly asked Egg, "Are these two above strong? Do you want to smash them down?"

Shadow wanted to take the opportunity to judge the strength of the elite Gnolls.

Egg was of course extremely welcoming—so, the hopping Egg on the ground suddenly jumped very high, darting towards the two cold glints in the air.

Seemingly not expecting these two things on the ground to suddenly counterattack, Flayner and Elana were first stunned, then one accelerated with two daggers, and the other switched to golden pupils, shooting out a dim yellow light.

"Ding!" The impact of the daggers and the cold air rippled on Egg's shell, and the dim yellow light also hit completely, sending Egg bouncing back.

Hearing the "Egg" groan, and seeing it being knocked back to the ground, Flayner and Elana had the same question—what kind of demonic egg is this? How is it so hard?

"Not bad, not bad..." Egg groaned, rolling again, wanting to beg Shadow to do it again.

"Friend, you're going the wrong way." Shadow pulled Egg backwards.

"Huh? Rolled the wrong way? How could that be?" Egg finally realized that it had been going in the wrong direction.

"It should be the effect of that dim yellow light, it will make you reverse direction." Shadow's knowledge and combat experience were relatively rich, and it quickly made a guess, "Good thing I'm here."

"Tsk tsk, but it's still not as exciting as those two whips..." Egg was endlessly reminiscing about the Forest Keeper, "Where did this guy go?"

Shadow was just as curious.

"Could it really be like he said... once the anger passes, he won't bother with us? Figured it out?" Shadow sighed—how did that guy guess it? When will I be able to do that?

At this time, although the two sons of demons were not sure, the Forest Keeper had already given up chasing them, and even wanted to help them escape the Forbidden Forest as soon as possible—it would be very difficult to stop them, not only would it hurt many trees, but it would also easily hurt the harmony with the sons of demons...

Besides, why stop them?

Is the Forbidden Forest not chaotic enough, not enough trouble?

If they were stopped for too long, and Fentus from the depths of the forest was attracted, the situation would become even more complicated...

As long as they are indeed leaving, then thank goodness—the Forest Keeper stood on a tree, silently cheering for Egg and Shadow in his heart.

So Egg and Shadow fled for another half of the journey, approaching the edge of the Forbidden Forest—along the way, 14 Gnoll hunters paid the price of teeth or claws, but none left a scar on Egg.

Flayner and Elana even changed their tricks to attack from the sky, using all their skills.

Flayner sometimes combined his dual daggers for a fierce strike, sometimes set up layers of extreme cold enchantment, but none of them had any interfering effect; and the various colors of light shot out from the Eye Demon's pupils, in addition to blowing up the grass clippings in the Forbidden Forest, also made Elana look withered, and there was no more.

To Egg, Flayner's "extreme cold" was just daily life, so it didn't feel much change at all, but Elana's chaotic, weak, and explosive light refreshed it a bit, but seeing Elana's magic power dry up, the whole escape process... was gradually becoming boring.

But when a huge Gnoll figure finally appeared in front of them, Egg finally regained interest.

"Hey, that guy, the one carrying the mace, see him?" Egg scattered particles wildly, pointing to the Gnoll leader and his mace at the edge of the forest.

"I'm the one who brought you here." Shadow was very considerate of Egg, because every time it suffered a heavy blow, Shadow could enjoy Egg's happiness and share the overflowing magic power.

"Crash into him?" Egg began to spin.

"Be careful, the Gnoll next to him... is very strange." Shadow pointed an arrow at Mandena next to the Gnoll leader.

"Stranger than me?" Egg had already understood its position in this world and learned to joke.

"Not as deserving of a beating as you..." Shadow stretched and shrank, like a spring, catapulting Egg towards the Gnoll leader.

The Gnoll leader had also prepared to swing his mace early on, but the Gnoll hunters chasing behind him... didn't dodge, not knowing whether they were completely unafraid of death, or were sure that the leader wouldn't swing the mace at them.

However, just as the mace was about to hit Egg, Egg and Shadow clearly heard the old Gnoll next to the leader say a sentence.

"Our blood sacrifice... just happens to be missing a substantial sacrifice."

Shadow couldn't figure out how the old Gnoll could say so much in this instant, but it did hear it clearly.

Time moved again, the mace hit Egg, and at the same time, the staff in the old Gnoll's hand surged with magic, covering the air with a layer of animal skin.

The animal skin was like a curtain, tearing open behind Egg—after the air was torn apart, another space appeared.

The Gnoll family's bloodstained altar!

The altar was appearing behind Egg!

Lee Read would never have imagined that Reed Court's sentence "Be careful of wolves in human skin" would be fulfilled on Shadow and Egg.

"Don't!" The Forest Keeper's voice rang out in the forest, but to no avail.

"Boom!" The mace hit Egg, denting the shell, and it seemed that in the next second... it would be knocked onto the altar!

"Don't move." Shadow also sensed the abnormal development of the situation and used "Shadow Stitching."

The earth cracked, spreading towards the curtain behind Egg; the altar in the curtain sank down a step, waiting for Egg to take its seat.
