I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

In this situation, the ice lake to the north became the only stable structure.

However, it was already riddled with cracks, and now they had directly spread to the northernmost point and begun to fracture.

A hundred miles away, the Locust King turned back, gazing at the collapsing giant city and the billowing smoke, unable to comprehend what had happened here.

Why is Barren City…

Where are my children?

Nier was bewildered.

Having survived the first wave of the tremor, Li Yue wasted no time. With a tug of his shadow, he pulled hundreds of Snow Country people into the shadow space, preparing to escape.

Before leaving, Li Yue even saw Claude Snow's dumbfounded face, as well as the guards beside him filled with resentment.

"I'll go pick up Old Lu and Old Xiao. I'll leave the inside to you. Tell them not to move rashly…" Li Yue waved his hand and sucked Wang Mu into the shadow space.

That was the original plan to take them away.

The secretary was stunned.

Old Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly a little tempted.

Shadow still had its own understanding.

"He seemed to want to say something just now…" Li Yue wasn't sure, and then suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard a similar thought before planting the bone tree.

"You must break this status quo!"

"Hahaha!" The secretary laughed instead, "Dare he point a sword at His Highness the Prince?"

Without waiting for Rui Wen to ask further, Shadow pulled out a few strands of shadow, reproducing the situation outside.

But Li Yue had just taken a cursory glance and saw that there were actually high-level ice mages among the guards beside Claude Snow. Wang Mu would still need to manage the order, lest it cause harm to Shadow.

"Does that mean that prince and my guards look down on Lussen?" Rui Wen also used Cui Rong's term for Snow Li Yue.

"It's a demon! We were already trapped in a demon's territory. Now, we're just escaping from one demon's territory to another!"

"It sounds like they're arguing outside." Shadow felt the heat within its body and saw the secretary's dispute with Old Lu.

"You must remember, you are our guard…" The prince was reciting his teachings when he suddenly realized the environment had changed, and a figure in front of him was quickly moving away.

Only this group of people had the same thoughts as Snow Li Yue. The others were just the prince's entourage.

"Look at me…" Cui Rong didn't know what Old Lu was looking at, and assumed he was suddenly distracted, so he took another step forward, as if to release the prince's pressure.

Even if facing those few ice mages and guards, Cui Rong didn't need to draw his sword, but holding it in his hand would have a better effect.

That's also why Old Lu would later grumble that "Wang Mu is very troublesome."

"Then help me ask if we should kill the prince." Rui Wen stopped.

Because although the situation on the ground was more chaotic, the constant birth of insect eggs would instead make Rui Wen a clear target.

"Want to help them kill him?"

In reality, Lussen's companions only accounted for a minority in the diplomatic delegation, only about seventy people in total.

Especially now that they were trapped in the shadow, they didn't know where their destination was.

Li Yue didn't hear everything; his senses were cut off by the shadow.

Old Lu suddenly saw large characters appearing in his eyeballs, knowing that this was a question sent by the demon outside.

【Snow and his people…】

Old Lu felt disgusted and almost wanted to move his fingers and directly chop up this so-called prince.

【Not leaving first? Or killing Nier directly here?】

They were all moved.

"I said, we can't trust them. You must not move rashly." Old Lu drew his sword.

Wang Mu also gave Old Lu a cold look, but instead stood in front of Cui Rong, blocking the secretary and the ice mages.

【Always keep the goal in mind, truly worthy of being Daddy…】

"Daddy… Daddy?" Shadow called Rui Wen.

"We cannot become the demon's bargaining chips! This will affect the country!"

Behind him, a Locust King wearing a crown extinguished the flames, looking around in the smoke, searching for the enemy.

What they cared more about was the impact on the prince and the Snow Country.

At the same time, the Snow Country people inside the shadow space were engaging in a calm discussion.

At that time, Wang Mu seemed to be saying that Snow was very troublesome?

"Forget it, let's leave first. What good would it do us to kill Nier here… We'll complete our mission later. It'll be good to take them out…" Rui Wen was reminded by Shadow and prepared to leave.

【Truly worthy of being Daddy…】

The skeleton left behind was quickly devoured by the locusts, while Rui Wen, with Shadow's help, instantly flashed. Every dozen meters, he would separate out more skeletons to escape outward, luring the locusts to diminish layer by layer.

Outside, the yellow sand stretched endlessly. Rui Wen didn't stop, directly leaving the prince and his guards behind, and instantly flashed to the small village where Old Xiao and Lussen were located.

The one speaking was the secretary beside Wang Mu.

"What's wrong?" Rui Wen was in a pretty good mood.

"You are someone hired by Snow Cui Rong. All your actions will be attributed to him! When we return to the Snow Country, none of the things you do during this time will escape!"

Cui Rong didn't have much extra emotion either.

At the same time, Cui Rong, taking advantage of the smoke from underground, was already quickly approaching the edge of the small village; behind him, the Locust King Nier was dragging his belly back and forth in the ruins of Barren City, using sand to bury the fire pits everywhere.

Hiding was useless. Rui Wen created 18 clones, each passing through the city under the cover of smoke, abandoning the escape from underground.

Even though the weather was very cold, the prince suddenly felt his heart grow cold.

"It seems so. Lussen's companions are very angry." Shadow perceived some details from these people's actions.

Barren City on the demon route had been lit up, and he even blew up this broken city, feeling much more comfortable.

Besides the direct damage caused to the locusts by the explosion of the bone tree and the breaking of the city walls, the smoke also caused great interference to the locusts.

Having been together for so long, Old Lu had long known that these people didn't think that blocking Nier in the ice lake was anything special; rather, it was something that he, as a swordsman, should carry out.

"He? A swordsman of unknown origin, a spy from Jue Mountain. It's already a grace that we can keep him by our side. What qualifications does he have to order His Highness the Prince to trust anyone?" The secretary beside the prince adjusted his cracked glasses, looking at Old Lu disdainfully.

Rui Wen ran out of the city, heading towards the village where Old Xiao and Lussen were.

Seeing Rui Wen hesitate, Shadow had a very strong psychological activity.

"He is a demon Snow Li Yue hired to help. He cannot be trusted," Cui Rong sighed, saying reluctantly.

As for the Snow Country delegation and such, they were just helping Snow Li Yue with a small favor—Rui Wen was still very curious about what a group of idealists could do in the current situation on the Chaos Continent.

And the next second, Prince Cui Rong, along with his guards and secretary, a dozen people in total, along with their large cloaks, were all swallowed by the shadow and disappeared into the shadow space.

Because the prince and his followers did not think that demons were objects that could not be cooperated with.

The timing Rui Wen was waiting for was not this.

"Hmm?"

Old Lu's persuasion failed, and he didn't say much. He directly moved his fingers and cut off the ice stalactites in the ice mage's hand.

Later, an ice mage picked up an ice stalactite, preparing to poke the shadow.

Although Wang Mu didn't understand why a natural disaster would descend, he nodded, hesitant to speak.
