Chapter 15: The demons also have a hard time

Lang Wentian threw down the monster meat in his hand and went to change his clothes. Several personal soldiers in the room began to share the remaining monster meat on the table.

Xu Zhenfeng smelled the aroma of meat and couldn't help but gulp in his throat. He said to Wolf Buyan with a smile: "Sergeant Buyan, is this what we're going to eat for breakfast?"

Lang Buyan was tearing off a monster leg and chewing it. After hearing what Xu Zhenfeng said, he said vaguely, "If I can eat monster meat, do I still have to eat the army's breakfast?"

Xu Zhenfeng continued to laugh and said, "Where do we usually eat breakfast in the army?"

Lang Buyan looked at him in confusion, then turned to another wolf demon soldier who was eating heartily and said, "This kid just arrived. He has never seen our army's breakfast. You take him to have a look."

The soldier was obviously unwilling, but since the sergeant had given the order, he had to obey. He had no choice but to drop the monster meat in his hand and lead Xu Zhenfeng out.

The two demon soldiers went down the city wall and walked back. After passing two or three camps, they saw teams of demon soldiers queuing up for breakfast.

The demon army camp did not have as many rules as the human army camp. After receiving their breakfast, the demon soldiers would just squat on the ground and start eating.

The wolf demon's personal guard pointed his finger at the place where breakfast was being distributed at the front of the team, and said to Xu Zhenfeng, "Just go there to get it. We are the general's personal guards, so there is no need to queue. Just go there and get it."

Xu Zhenfeng was still hesitating as he had just arrived and wondered whether he should line up. The guard urged him, "Hurry up, the general will soon be out in his armor, and we all have to follow him."

As soon as he said this, Xu Zhenfeng immediately trotted to the table where breakfast was being distributed. The demon soldier who was distributing breakfast looked at Xu Zhenfeng's clothes and directly poured him a large bowl of something that looked like porridge or paste and handed it to him.

Xu Zhenfeng took it, walked aside, and looked at the contents of the bowl, but couldn't tell what was in the bowl.

He took a sip and felt that the food in his mouth had no taste at all. It was slippery and greasy like snot and made him feel nauseous.

He wanted to hold his breath and swallow the bite in his mouth and not eat the rest, but he couldn't bite through this thing.

He bit it several times in succession, and there was a constant sound of silk coming from his teeth, which made him feel even more disgusted.

The wolf demon's personal guard looked at his strange expression from behind and said with a gloating look, "Hurry up and finish eating. We have to leave."

There was no choice but for Xu Zhenfeng to spit out what was in his mouth. He was too embarrassed to take the full bowl to the collection area at the side, so he hesitated while holding the bowl.

A burly demon soldier came over with an empty bowl in his hand. He looked at the full bowl in Xu Zhenfeng's hand, forced a smile, and asked, "Brother, you don't want to eat, right?"

As soon as Xu Zhenfeng nodded, the demon soldier strode over, took the bowl from his hand, and said, "If you don't want to eat it, give it to me. I'm still hungry."

Before Xu Zhenfeng could stop him, he saw the demon soldier took the bowl, tilted his head back, and in the blink of an eye, he had drunk the entire bowl of snot-like paste.

Seeing this scene and remembering that he had just spit back into the bowl, Xu Zhenfeng couldn't hold it in any longer and squatted on the ground and vomited.

But he hadn't eaten for a long time. After a bout of dry heaving, he just vomited out a few mouthfuls of yellow water and nothing else.

He didn't want to say anything to the demon soldier. After standing up, he clasped his fists towards the demon soldier and left with the wolf demon's personal soldiers.

The wolf demon's personal soldier teased as he walked: "Don't think you can't eat it. The other demon soldiers here only have this bowl every morning. If they eat again, it will be night before they can have their next meal."

Xu Zhenfeng was shocked when he heard this, "Do we soldiers have such a hard life?"

The wolf demon's personal soldier turned around and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey, our demon mountain has limited resources. The demons have been multiplying generation after generation, and there are more and more of them. We have long been running out of supplies. If you hadn't come to be a soldier, you would have sold yourself to a wealthy family as a slave at home, with your life and death in the hands of your master, and you would have been starving to death at home."

Xu Zhenfeng felt a chill in his heart. The demon race was actually doing so badly in this world. It was a good thing that he was excited when he first knew that he was a demon.

A demon, in a certain world, a demon that makes people tremble with fear, a demon that is so powerful and majestic, a demon that kills gods and Buddhas...

Why in this world, being a demon soldier still requires starving?

Calling this thing a monster is really a disgrace to the word monster.

Seeing his pale face, the wolf demon's personal soldiers consoled him, "We are the general's personal soldiers, so we will not have to worry about going hungry. We eat monster meat."

"General, you have one monster for every meal. It's not enough for so many of our personal soldiers, right?"

"Who told you that the general only eats one monster for each meal? There are more than a dozen monsters for each meal, which is enough for us soldiers."

"Then why do you always eat the general's leftovers?"

Xu Zhenfeng blurted out the words and immediately regretted them, thinking about how to make up for it.

The personal soldier replied, "Monster beasts are also divided into different levels. The monster beasts that the general eats are of the highest level, and contain the most concentrated monster power. They are also the most nutritious for us monsters. Naturally, it is best to eat what the general leaves behind.

We all take turns eating with other squads. You are lucky that it is our squad’s turn these days, so we can eat the general’s leftovers. In a few days, it will be the other squads’ turn, and we will have to eat inferior monster meat.”

After hearing the words of his personal soldier, Xu Zhenfeng instantly felt despair about his life as a demon. Thinking that he would have to compete with other demon soldiers to eat the demon meat left over by the general, he felt that he had no desire for life as a demon.

The two monsters returned to the city wall in a short while. Lang Wentian had already changed into a black armor. The armor was very strange. There was a layer of black mist spreading on the surface. The mist did not disperse or become chaotic. It flowed on the armor like water.

Xu Zhenfeng couldn't help but take a few more glances. Seeing this, Lang Wentian laughed and said to him, "You are jealous. This Black Sky Armor is a reward from the Monster King. Only a dozen great monsters in the entire Monster Mountain have it. If you want it, work hard. When you have accumulated enough merits, I will go with you to ask the Monster King for a reward."

As soon as Lang Wentian said these words, all the wolf demon's personal soldiers in the room looked at Xu Zhenfeng with strange eyes.

Xu Zhenfeng said quickly: "Junior... I am not so lucky. I have never seen such armor before. I am envious and confused."

Lang Wentian didn't say much to him and walked out of the room on his own. A team of personal soldiers immediately followed him.

Xu Zhenfeng was led by Lang Buyan and walked not far behind Lang Wentian. This team of demon generals and soldiers walked south along the corridor of the city wall and began to patrol.

Every time he arrived at a sentry tower, Lang Wentian would stop and ask about the patrol situation last night, then give a few instructions and continue walking south.

Their patrol lasted until the afternoon, and they reached the end of the city wall, a place called Juefei Ridge.

There was a dead end ahead. This stretch of steep mountains reached high into the clouds. There was not a single tree growing, not even a single weed.

There are stone walls that are so smooth that you can see your own shadow, and there is no end in sight.

No wonder it is called Jue Fei Ridge, and the city wall ends here. Jue Fei Ridge really does not need to be guarded, even monsters and birds cannot fly over.
