Chapter 588: City life is a bit difficult for country monsters

After Zhao Mingcheng left, Puna looked at the two kittens sleeping in her arms and fell into deep thought.

According to her original idea, as a fairy-level monster, survival is not difficult.

Not to mention that she is at the level of a demon fairy, even if she is a cat demon at the level of a golden elixir, her ability to survive in the wild is terrifyingly strong.

A golden cat demon can easily hunt any bird or beast, no matter if it is a tiger or an elephant. No matter how big the difference in size and strength is, it cannot escape the throat-sealing claw.

Of course, the Jindan cat demon does not have much advantage when it faces other Jindan demons. Although it has the advantages of speed and agility, and can hide its breath to gain the first-mover advantage, many Jindan demons have thick skin and armor, and their cat claws can tear the leather of ordinary people like tearing rags, and cannot break the opponent's defense at all.

Puna thought that it was not too difficult to hide her aura in the Demon Alliance City in the Demon Immortal Realm. She only needed to go out of the city to hunt regularly to ensure the supply of blood and food to feed herself and her children.

I never expected that hunting and fishing would be prohibited in the mountains, forests and rivers under the rule of the Demon Alliance.

What is the Animal Protection Act?
Do animals still need protection?

What is a fishing license?
There are obviously endless fish in the water, so why can't we catch them and eat them?

Puna naturally didn't know the inside story of the promulgation of these two decrees. There were very complicated reasons why the Demon Alliance Council discussed and passed these two regulations.

The issuance of fishing licenses to limit fishing is because the Four Seas Dragon Palace has joined the Demon Alliance. The Four Seas Dragon Kings have always been resentful of humans' large-scale killing of aquatic creatures, and occasionally they will launch storms to overturn fishing boats as a punishment.

After joining the Demon Alliance, after a series of tugs of war and exchanges of interests, the Dragon Kings finally made concessions, set annual fishing limits and fishing moratoriums, and promised not to target fishing boats with fishing licenses, but would be ruthless to illegal fishermen.

The Animal Protection Law is actually too reasonable in this era. Nowadays, giant pandas are pests that seriously damage the bamboo forest ecology.

However, the Demon Alliance still issued regulations strictly prohibiting hunting. The main reason is that although the spiritual energy is thin at present, it can still give birth to demons among the beasts, and at worst it can open up their spiritual intelligence.

The beastmen who have transformed into monsters look no different from wild beasts, but their intelligence has been awakened and they can be considered intelligent creatures. Hunters have no way of distinguishing them and may kill the wrong ones.

One of the major legal principles established by the Demon Alliance is that intelligent creatures cannot devour or harm each other. This basic constitution also leads to the iron rule that man-eating demons must be severely punished.

If animals with intelligence can be hunted and eaten as prey, then why can't humans be eaten as food by demons?

The Demon Alliance is committed to the harmonious coexistence of humans and demons, but it cannot favor either side or enact double-standard laws. Therefore, the prerequisite for legislation to protect the human race is to legislate to protect animals.

The Demon Alliance is not in a position to interfere in the internal affairs of the vassal states, but in the areas ruled by the Demon Alliance, hunting and killing of wild animals and even small animals is strictly prohibited. Only hunting teams that are equipped with professional brain wave scanning equipment, have passed the hunting license examination, and have obtained official recognition have the right to hunt.

If it were some younger monsters, after listening to Zhao Mingcheng's explanation, they might not take it seriously. They would definitely commit a crime recklessly and be punished by the law before they would learn their lesson.

But after all, Puna had lived for a thousand years. Even if she had no knowledge, she had experience. No one understood the truth that curiosity kills the cat better than her, so she immediately gave up the idea of going out of town to poach.

She is not an ordinary immigrant demon. She has practiced for thousands of years and has killed hundreds of people. Once her true colors are exposed, she will surely end up like those demon fairies who were brutally executed.

Closing her eyes, Puna carefully released her spiritual sense, looked inward at her body, and soon found something unusual on her wrist.

It was a small bead formed by the accumulation of golden aura. It was extremely small and difficult to detect even with the perception of the demon fairy realm.

Cat demons are more sensitive than other demons, so Puna was able to detect the existence of this small bead hidden in the body. This extremely tiny bead appeared in the body just after the injection of the so-called "vaccine", which is obviously one of the means used by the demon alliance to monitor immigrant demons.

If nothing unexpected happens, her two children must have had these gold beads implanted in their bodies.

As a result, Puna's plan to sneak out of the city with her child and escape to the human vassal state had to be completely abandoned.

……

Zhao Mingcheng had just arrived at work and had not yet turned on his computer when he received a call from the community police station.

"Xiao Zhao, the family of immigrant demon No. 9514 that you are responsible for is now in the station, please come over!"

The person on the other end of the phone was the director, Lao Wang, who was an old acquaintance. Every social worker responsible for immigrant resettlement work had to deal with the police station very frequently.

"No. 9514... that family of cats... Oh, I expected it, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. What are they doing? Isn't this a burglary?"

After a little thought, Zhao Mingcheng matched the number and asked hurriedly.

"Well, it doesn't count. You'll know when you come."

Zhao Mingcheng quickly picked up his briefcase, ran out of the community office building in a hurry, stopped a horse demon on the road, rode on the horse demon's saddle, and rushed to the police station.

There are taxis in Binhai City, but not many operating licenses are issued each year and the fees are relatively expensive.

However, with the influx of immigrants, many rickshaw pullers appeared, or "deer-powered", "horse-powered" and even "sheep-powered" and "dog-powered" pullers.

These migrant workers have little education, only great strength and a natural ability to run, and they work by the roadside.

You only need to pay them one-third of the taxi fare and you can ride them to where you want to go quickly. It is very convenient.

What’s more convenient than taxis is that these drivers are responsible for carrying people upstairs and sending them directly to their doorsteps or even directly to their beds.

If it weren’t for the air control in the city and the huge safety risks, many harpies would have petitioned the city government to allow flying rickshaw services.

With the technology that Wenrui has mastered, small anti-gravity engines can enable anyone to fly, but this technology has not been opened to the public except for use on large transport ships.

Due to Wen Rui's interference, the technological development in this world has become too unbalanced. It is necessary to take care of the demons who have just stepped into the civilized world from the state of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and leave them a place to survive in the city.

The days when monsters make a living by relying on their natural supernatural powers and racial characteristics will have to continue for another generation or two. Once their descendants have received compulsory education and can make a living solely by relying on their intelligence, these more convenient technologies will be appropriately opened up to civilian use.

Zhao Mingcheng rushed to the police station and smelled a strong stench as soon as he entered the hall. The station chief, Lao Wang, came up to him with his tongue hanging out and said impatiently, "You're finally here. Go through the formalities and take the cat away. This smell won't go away for a whole day!"

Old Wang is an old yellow dog demon. Relying on his skills as a bloodhound, he solved several major cases and was promoted to director due to his merits.
