I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue ignored the forest keeper and first crushed the stone that served as a navigation marker, lest it turn into an 8th-order Hunteral coming to claim his life.

Of course, it wasn't that he feared a mere 8th-order Hunteral, but he wanted to cultivate good habits in advance, as he would be frequenting the Forbidden Forest often in the future. As long as he left one behind when leaving, he could return at any time.

As for the coordinates of Loushan, Li Yue had also changed them. Back then, he moved quickly, and the merchants and refugees in the mountain gully didn't have time to react.

After crushing the stone, Li Yue noticed the branches on the forest keeper's brow twitching.

"What? Does breaking a stone hurt your feelings?" Van Helsing quickly deployed shadow deconstruction on the current area, and incidentally inquired about the situation in the Forbidden Forest, making efficient use of time.

"Why do you look like this..." The valiant appearance of the three Sons of the Devil aroused the forest keeper's disgust.

"This is a kind of cultivation, you must keep it a secret." Li Yue suddenly remembered that the contract didn't include this clause, and immediately remedied it. "If a word of it leaks out, you know the consequences."

[Bombardment... Skyfire...]

The forest keeper couldn't bear to look back.

"Ahem, ahem." Van Helsing nodded, temporarily transforming back into a shadow to facilitate communication with the forest keeper.

[Spare me... Who cares what you look like...]

The forest keeper's body crackled.

"Let's get down to business. How was today?"

"No flies, no sacks, not even any heroes." The forest keeper was content with the tranquility of the Forbidden Forest, but knew that all of this was only temporary.

The whispers of the forest told him that the armies of the Seven Rivers and the Thass Empire were fully advancing, getting closer to Demon King City.

Of course, this also appropriately slowed down their marching speed—absorbing the territory of the Holy See takes time; it's not considered occupation just by having the army pass through.

The closer they got to Demon King City, the slower the Thass Empire's marching speed became. The marching route was very clear and steady, never allowing the First Army to regroup within its borders, nor allowing the Second Army to escape across the border.

The latest news was that the Thass Empire had already separated a portion of its mech army to intercept at the border between Snow Country and the Empire, not allowing any living thing to enter, in order to prevent the spread of the Red and White Plague into the Empire.

"Can this really block it?" Li Yue couldn't imagine how huge and complex this task was.

"If even the clouds are your dead line, then it's possible."

The forest keeper could only hear fragments from the whispers of the forest and couldn't know the whole picture, but in any case, that's what the forest said, and the forest keeper believed it.

Upon hearing "clouds," Li Yue recalled the mech heroes rushing in under the giant skull tree and the hand in the clouds, combined with the suddenly unfolding light curtain in the Holy City Feast...

Li Yue thought that with so many 9th-order heroes cooperating, it was indeed possible to achieve.

Could it be that if he wanted to catch flies, he would have to run to Snow Country?

The Thass Empire was on high alert, so running there at this time was obviously inappropriate. No matter how fast Ideal Township could run, it certainly couldn't outrun the light curtain of the Empire's Archmage.

Rather than risking encountering the Archmage in the north, it would be better to look for them in Demon King City.

Li Yue didn't believe that such a large Demon King City wouldn't have a Gluttony Fly?

"Alright," Li Yue suppressed the urge to head north and changed the subject. "Are any demons being sent to their funeral in the Forbidden Forest today? Preferably high-order ones..."

[High-order? Do you think this is a vegetable garden?]

Thorns began to grow on the forest keeper's face.

[No...]

"No." The forest keeper had signed a contract, and even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't lie about this matter.

The silence of the forest could only prove... that high-order demons were not cabbages, and they didn't die every day.

[Why don't you just kill me...]

The forest keeper muttered to himself.

Li Yue had, of course, already sensed that the forest keeper's drop was the Fang of Calamity or the Wood of Calamity, which didn't seem very attractive, so he didn't have the idea of hunting him.

Moreover, keeping him alive was more useful.

"Oh, no... Then something a little less powerful will do; bring it over." Li Yue pulled out a bone sword from his thigh and poked the air continuously.

The forest keeper delayed for a moment before reluctantly dragging the near-death demons from all corners of the Forbidden Forest, piling them high into a meat tower.

The tower was embedded with Leaf People, Eye Demons, Harpy Birds, and all kinds of demon plants and insects, full and swollen, constantly wriggling under the binding of vines.

Looking at the meat tower in front of him, Li Yue inexplicably felt like he was receiving a sacrifice.

"I told you before, don't bring Eye Demons and the like; pay attention next time..."

Li Yue had already analyzed most of the demons in the meat tower, and the materials overlapped, so bringing all the near-death demons would be very inefficient.

Soon, Li Yue realized that one bone sword wasn't enough. A large shadow enveloped it and began to analyze those not recorded in the Illustrated Handbook, deconstructing those.

At the same time, Li Yue also highlighted the weaknesses in the Demon Illustrated Handbook, and then, in a way that didn't hurt the flesh as much as possible, used shadows to cut off certain key parts.

The meat tower began to break and soften.

[Bite my wooden butt...]

[Malice +4444]

The forest keeper was also dissatisfied with being disliked.

"If you're unhappy, go further away; I'll call you when it's done."

Because there were too many, it would take time to analyze, deconstruct, or execute them, so Li Yue wanted to send the forest keeper away to discuss the next step with Yingying and Dandan.

"Remember not to go too far; we still need you to suppress the Forbidden..." Li Yue shouted at the forest keeper's sulking back.

[Malice +4444+4444...]

The forest keeper left resentfully.

"I've already thought about the next step..." Li Yue said, executing the meat tower while rummaging for something in the Shadow Space.

"Ah, for the next step, I might as well just die..." Li Yue took out a cannonball and turned to blast himself.

Yingying timely tapped Li Yue's head with a javelin and stuffed the cannonball back.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Li Yue didn't know why he suddenly wanted to die.

"You've been infected by them." Yingying pointed to the meat tower behind Li Yue. "You're deconstructing their near-death emotions."

"Oh, right, right... Why am I deconstructing them? I might as well just die..." Li Yue muttered, taking out another one, and Dandan and Yingying quickly tore open the ground to separate Li Yue and the meat tower.

"It's too much to send so many at once; kill them separately."

"Oh, okay, separate... I'll separate from this world..." Li Yue wriggled his shadows, not yet awake from the near-death state.

Yingying controlled Li Yue, and Dandan wove a net with binding threads, breaking the meat tower into clumps, and three rows of meat buns covered the ground in front of them...

Only when the shadows gradually separated from the clumps of meat did Li Yue's emotions return to normal.

"Hehe, sorry, I pushed it too far; I wanted to die." Li Yue was still digesting the emotions just now, and his shadow body was like a fountain, constantly overflowing around him.

"Let's come to the Forbidden Forest once a day from now on, and eat them separately." Don Quixote laid Van Helsing's body across the horse, holding him in his arms, trying to wash away Li Yue's shadow with love.

"Yes..." Li Yue was somewhat intoxicated.

Dandan gagged, and Hannibal repeatedly slammed his head into the net woven from binding threads.

"What was I going to say? Ah, right!" Li Yue recalled the real "next step."

"We're going here!"

As he spoke, Li Yue took out a square invitation from the Shadow Space.

"Y-you, are you going to dance?"
