Chapter 3 I Want to Eat This Half-Demon
Xu Zhenfeng followed Hu San and walked for a long time. On the way, they passed several monster villages and saw that the monsters in the villages were very weak.
Although these monsters appeared in human form, they were dressed in rags and did not look very strong.
These demons, young and old, male and female, all looked like they had never seen the world before. When they saw Hu San and Xu Zhenfeng passing by the village, Xu Zhenfeng looked like a half-human, half-demon, and he would call the demons from the same village to come and watch the fun.
Xu Zhenfeng was surprised. What was the difference between these monsters and the villagers in the remote mountain villages in the 1950s and 1960s of his previous life?
Can this be called a monster? This is a waste of the majestic and domineering word "monster".
Hu San looked back from time to time to observe Xu Zhenfeng's expression. He saw that he was looking at those weak monsters from time to time, and his face seemed surprised.
Then he smiled and said, "Not all the monsters are as strong as you and me, or the monsters you saw in Sifang City. The monsters with good foundation and good talents have long been selected to join the monster army. The monsters you see are those with poor foundation and the worst talents, who can't even be monster soldiers, coolies, or slaves.
They have no demonic power and are in poor health. They will die after doing hard labor for two or three days. They can only be the lowest level demons. When the rich and powerful have something to do and are short of manpower, they will be temporarily recruited to do a few days of work so that they can get some food to survive. When there is no manpower, they just have to endure it, eat grass, wood and soil and wait for death. "
Xu Zhenfeng nodded silently. He understood that even the demon race was divided into different levels.
Those who are strong can live comfortably, while those who are weak can only struggle to survive like these monsters. They can only work hard to breed the next generation for the Monster Mountain. If they can give birth to children with good talents, they may become great monsters in the future, or join the monster army and become a small leader, which may change the life of the whole family.
Hu San got Xu Zhenfeng's promise that he would bring him a human being when he returned to Monster Mountain. His attitude also improved a lot, and he continued to introduce the general situation of Monster Mountain to Xu Zhenfeng along the way.
There are ten big cities and one king city in the Monster Mountain. The king city is guarded by the ten big cities in the middle. The ten big cities are all at the border of the Monster Mountain, each with its own territory.
Every city has a great demon serving as a general, leading countless demon soldiers to guard the demon mountain.
One is to prevent the human race and the demon race from attacking the Demon Mountain. The other is to prevent the demons on the Demon Mountain from leaving the Demon Mountain without permission and causing a disaster, which would give the human and demon races an excuse to attack the Demon Mountain.
The generals of the ten big cities needed to exchange defense positions from time to time. Although Hu San did not explain the reason, Xu Zhenfeng knew that this was the demon king's way of controlling his subordinates.
It is impossible for the Demon King to allow any big demon to stay in one place all year round. The position of Demon King was also seized by him through his own strength.
He was also afraid that a big demon would run a big city for many years and, once he had enough strength, he would start to have delusions.
When Hu San picked up Xu Zhenfeng at the border of the Demon Mountain, he was really shocked by the strong demonic aura on him.
He thought that Xu Zhenfeng was the descendant of some great demon, who had sneaked out of the demon mountain and was hit and injured by humans or demons. When he escaped back, he collapsed at the border of the demon mountain due to exhaustion.
Hu San also took a great risk to drag Xu Zhenfeng back to the Monster Mountain. Although when he met Xu Zhenfeng, he knew that this wolf monster was just a small wolf monster of the first level of the yellow rank.
But the demonic aura of a first-level yellow-grade wolf demon is so strong. Doesn’t it prove that the origin of this wolf demon is not simple?
Hu San was still thinking about rescuing Xu Zhenfeng back to the Monster Mountain, maybe he could get a reward from a great monster, or even a piece of ascension grass.
It was not until later that Xiong Da checked on Xu Zhenfeng and said that there was no descendant of the great demon in the Demon Mountain like him.
Hu San was deeply disappointed. He took such a big risk to rescue Xu Zhenfeng, but he turned out to be just an unknown little demon.
If I had known this, I would have eaten him when I found him. A yellow level one demon with such strong demonic energy, it must be a great tonic.
Later, under Sifang City, Xu Zhenfeng showed his human form, but he was still a half-demon. In other words, he had not yet fully transformed and was not even at the first level of the Yellow Rank.
Hu San felt extremely regretful. This little demon who had come from nowhere must have extraordinary talent. Why didn't he eat him?
Even later, when he was rushing to escort Xu Zhenfeng out of the Monster Mountain, he was still thinking that perhaps he could find a secluded place at the border of the Monster Mountain and eat this half-monster.
Just a few words from Big Bear made him afraid to act rashly. Big Bear looked stupid.
If he ate Xu Zhenfeng and Xiong Da knew about it, he might really throw him into the Nine Cauldrons Demon Refining Furnace to make a demon pill.
Hu San was extremely conflicted along the way. After thinking about it over and over again, he felt that he had suffered a huge loss.
If Xu Zhenfeng had not promised to bring him a human being, he would have felt more and more at a disadvantage and might even have eaten Xu Zhenfeng without regard for the consequences at the border of the Monster Mountain.
Xu Zhenfeng was always nervous. He followed Hu San a few steps away, neither too close nor too far away, so as not to make Hu San suspicious.
The two monsters walked for nearly an hour before they arrived at the Jianfengling Checkpoint, where there was also a monster general leading the monster army to guard.
This is already the outermost part of the Demon Mountain. After passing the Jianfengling Pass and going down the Jianfengling, you will reach the Jianfeng Forest, which is the territory of the human race.
Therefore, the guarding of Jianfengling Pass is much stricter than the guarding of the previous narrow road intersection. Tens of thousands of demon troops are stationed here, led by two big demons.
When Hu San took Xu Zhenfeng out of Jianfengling Pass, he naturally did not alarm the two big monsters who were guarding the pass. After the monster general at the checkpoint checked the verification card, he let Xu Zhenfeng and Hu San out of the pass.
Jianfengling Pass is a steep mountain range. After passing the pass, you have to go straight down. The road is more rugged and difficult than the previous mountain road.
As they were about to reach the foot of Jianfengling Mountain, Xu Zhenfeng finally couldn't help but ask a question.
"Brother Hu San, our demon tribe has to go through so many checkpoints to get out of the demon mountain. How did you get to the border to rescue me?"
Hu San stood on a rock, looking at the lush forests at the foot of the mountain, smiled and said, "I am not a weak demon. As long as you don't leave the demon mountain, it is not difficult to get to the foot of the mountain without going through the checkpoints. Don't be surprised. I will tell you when you come back."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded. He knew in his heart that Hu San had simply bypassed the checkpoint and reached the foot of Jianfengling Mountain from a more dangerous and difficult place.
As for why he was not afraid of danger and quietly ran to the border of the Demon Mountain, I guess it was also to capture humans, right?
However, there are demons hiding secretly at the border of the Demon Mountain, trying to capture humans. I am afraid that there are also humans and demons with ulterior motives hiding on the other side, waiting to capture these demons with evil intentions.
As they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Hu San stopped and pointed to the end of the mountain road. "If you keep going along this road, you will enter the Peak Forest. I found you at the edge of the Peak Forest. You can continue to practice transformation in the forest, and when you are fully transformed, you can return the same way."
After saying that, Hu San clasped his fists and said, "Brother Xu, don't forget what you promised me."
Xu Zhenfeng also clasped his fists in return, "I remember that, Brother Hu San, don't worry, I'll go down now."
Hu San turned sideways, stood aside on the mountain road, and waited for Xu Zhenfeng to pass by. He watched his back getting farther and farther away, and felt his teeth itching.
He had already left his magic mark on the little wolf demon, but he was still hesitating whether or not to eat it.
Alas, Hu San couldn't help but grit his teeth. He really wanted to eat this half-demon.
