I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

#399 - Whisper of the Forest

In recent days, the Forest Keeper had been very troubled, especially these past few days.

The Second Army of the Expeditionary Force had not yet returned to the city, and Fentus, the Lord of Authority, had not yet returned to his position…

Unlike the low-level demons in the city, the Forest Keeper did not believe the news of a "great victory" that had been spread—from the whispers of the forest, the Forest Keeper heard that the First Army had been defeated and abandoned their armor, polluting many trees; the Second Army had been scattered and cut off by the human army, their blood spilled across the continent, possibly annihilated.

Originally, for the Forest Keeper, it would have been good news if Fentus had died outside.

If he had really died, the Forest Keeper would have been the most qualified and capable to inherit the authority of the Forbidden Forest.

But unfortunately, Fentus was still alive, and felt an extremely strong threat, even reawakening the curse that had been hidden in the Forbidden Forest for many years.

This brought great difficulties to the Forest Keeper's management.

In addition, the continuous migration of Evil Horned Beasts into the Demon King's City had removed a link from the demon chain of the Forbidden Forest. Although it would not cause a major impact, many carnivorous demons were clashing and dying while searching for alternative food, and some lightning-attracting magical plants were also growing slowly…

In the long run, the situation would definitely get worse and worse until a new balance was reached.

The Forest Keeper was also curious about where the Evil Horned Beasts had gone in the Demon King's City, and whether they could continue and expand into new tribes…

Moreover, if he went to the bombardment point now, he might still be able to find clues about Oogway Boogie.

"Perfect!" Li Yue clapped his hands with his shadow, making a sound.

The shock-absorbing bone shell made by Dandan was very scientific. Li Yue was thrown into a mess, and it took a lot of effort to retrieve the limp shadow body back to his feet, transforming into a red-skinned demon.

This red fly drilled out of the brave's corpse, suddenly bursting with a massive amount of blood and maggots, turning the entire fly swarm red.

The Forest Keeper shuddered and hurriedly waved his hand.

Wanlan flew through the air, stretching his body to its full length, and put the bone-guided cannon back into the shadow space to defend himself outside the Forbidden Forest.

The barrel of the bone-guided cannon was very thick, capable of loading eight demon sons, and Dandan also cooperated by releasing low-density self-healing bones and creating shock absorption, wrapping them inside.

"Good." Yingying refused and stopped writing.

There were many situations that did not require the Forest Keeper to personally take action.

Even if he couldn't win, he couldn't transform into a red-skinned demon and use the Staff of Deception to trick me and the Abyssal Maw into a war, and then sneak back himself.

"Plague… Red and white plague…"

Dandan was strengthening the self-healing for Da Hali, urgently addressing the hard injuries caused by the cannon fire just now.

As for those days, a swarm of flies inexplicably appeared outside the Forbidden Forest—the Forest Keeper was still not the Lord of Authority and could not distinguish whether this was some kind of "taboo" or whether some demon was plotting against the Forbidden Forest.

The Forest Keeper's mind was blank, constantly growing a body and brain, shaking off the clinging, stinging lava.

Could it be the Library?

However, there was also some good news.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back." Hali obediently sat next to the soul altar, not wanting to have his internal organs shattered by the bone-guided cannon again.

So today, the Forest Keeper silently leaned against the tree, watching the fly swarm in the open space, revolving and dancing around the brave's corpse, filling the air.

The Forest Keeper looked at the fly swarm in the open space and found that one of them had inexplicably been dyed red.

Hali didn't answer, but it was as good as an answer.

What?

The brave did rot, and Wanlan, Yingying, and Dandan almost rotted too—the seventh shell accurately landed in the open space of the Forbidden Forest, stirring up new ripples under the still-solidified lava.

"It's… them…" The Forest Keeper opened his hollow, half-lifted mouth, supported his body with vines, and scurried over.

"Come, let me send you over too." Li Yue threw on the materials that had not yet been fully incorporated into the Demon Illustrated Handbook template, then stuffed a dozen bone shells into the shadow space, took Dandan and Yingying, and drilled into the barrel of the bone-guided cannon.

The Abyssal Maw and the small altar joined forces to attack the Forbidden Forest?

"Don't worry, we'll just go for a trip and come back soon." Li Yue certainly knew the importance of new parts for the Copper Spoon and creation, but verifying the results was just as important.

Tears welled up in Hali's eyes, bursting with a strong sense of satisfaction—one shot, right into the soul, even the dwarf master couldn't do that, right?

What is the Evil Seven Seasons? How are the Seven Seasons evil? Can trees still adapt to the Seven Seasons?

When the city had just opened, not many hunters had scurried into the Forbidden Forest to hunt, but recently the number had suddenly decreased, and the quality was much worse.

【Want to.】

"But the materials…" Hali never thought that Li Yue would temporarily put aside the production of parts and turn around to go to the Forbidden Forest.

Even the brave who often rushed in became extra meals outside the Forbidden Forest, either dying from the taboos or from the mouths of demons and magical plants.

The Forest Keeper often thought of the three demon sons who stole the Thunder Pool and gave the tree a headache, always feeling that they were the most suspicious objects.

Brave? Demon?

It was like a large skull wandering on the edge of the forest, with no real action, but it always bothered the Forest Keeper.

"Seven Seasons… Evil Seven Seasons… Cannot doubt… Cannot adapt… Cannot grow…"

"This is going to fight with me." Li Yue suspected that if Oogway Boogie ate these source of faith, the situation wouldn't be good.

The trees were covered with patches of magical plants.

What body fluids, what sleeplessness…

Opening the telescope, Hali first looked at the dust raised by the Forbidden Forest, then looked at the mist in the eternal night, imagining crafting hundreds of bone-guided cannons, leveling the entire Slummy Mountain, and blasting all the brave in the world into rotten meat.

"What if Oogway Boogie gets hit by the cannon?" Yingying reminded Li Yue.

They looked like Venus flytraps, but under the control of the Forest Keeper, they were dozing, often instinctively reaching out to the fly swarm, their mouths dripping with mucus.

Meteor? Heavenly fire?

"Eternal night… Sleeplessness…"

"Flowing out… Body fluids… Sucking…"

"Flies… Flies… Bringing plague… Red flies…"

The whispers of the forest were usually very obscure, and only the Forest Keeper could hear these fragments, but not necessarily fully understand—because recently the whispers had become more and more outrageous, gradually exceeding the Forest Keeper's understanding.

A night breeze blew, and Hali woke up. Although it was chilly, it felt like there was a fire in his heart.

Without sensing any aura related to Wanlan Huiji, Wanlan released Dandan and Yingying from the shadow space to help, and the eight demon sons reappeared in the Forbidden Forest.

Then he looked at the pool of flowing red and white in the open space, burning the fly swarm, Venus flytraps, and trees, piling up a hill, and then lightly flattening it.

The Venus flytraps on the tree woke up from their slumber and moved in formation.

Why do humans eat trees? Won't they die?

The Forest Keeper silently guarded, while listening to the whispers of the distant forest.

Wanlan compared the weight, shape, and center of gravity of the bone shell with the bone shell and the bone shell, confirming that the bone shell wrapped around the three demons was exactly the same as the bone shell, and then pressed the launch button of the bone-guided cannon with the shadow.

When the Forest Keeper stood up from the ground with half of his human face rotting, supported by vines, he heard the distant rumble.

The library shook again, resounding with roars.

Hali didn't expect the bone-guided cannon to be used like that, staring blankly at the empty ground.

"What? Don't you want to check the results of the battle?" Wanlan asked Hali.

But the passage of whispers I heard today made the Forest Keeper uneasy.

The eight demon sons became a cannon shell.
