Compared to the unpleasant experience not long ago, this ti Lu Li was not stopped outside the town.
There weren’t even covetous gazes — the Old Fla Demon had told the town’s demons about what happened in the Volcano Nest.
The demons along the way could only clutch their rumbling stomachs or drooling mouths and hurriedly avoided Lu Li.
Walking along the main street to the endless Inner Sea, the magma gently lapped the lake shore like tides.
The magma near the sea swelled, revealing the gigantic fla head of the Old Fla Demon, as massive as a mansion of destruction and heat.
The Hell Demon Horde quivered and curled up under the aura of the Fla Demon, a low and aged sigh echoed like ripples across the lake’s surface: "Bearer of Chaos... Why have you co here?"
"I need a steed and a commission." There was no Dreamwalker, but Lu Li’s humanity was enough to shield him from the Fla Demon’s aura.
"Is that all?"
"That is all."
"You killed a Core Earth Demon for this..." The Old Fla Demon could hardly trust this statent.
"Is the Core Earth Demon your friend?" Lu Li asked.
"It had coveted my territory and power for a long ti..."
"But you don’t seem pleased about it."
"Because you killed it, a more powerful and mysterious soul, the likes of which I have never seen... such a strange soul, and I can sll the curse on you... There’s the sound of the wind, as well as the demon’s stench."
Lu Li guessed there was another reason: the Core Earth Demon was the Old Fla Demon’s old foe, but now it had been slain by him.
"The sound of the wind cos from the curse of the Screaming Female Demon. As for the demon’s scent, I have ntioned before, a demon has marked ." Lu Li once again revealed the inverted pentagram branded on his wrist.
The Old Fla Demon fell silent; indeed, it had seen it just minutes ago but did not believe it, and the outco was bizarre: the Core Earth Demon, its nesis, died due to its own vigilance.
To Hell Creatures, Lu Li’s "friendly" gestures seed more like threats.
After all, neither the Old Fla Demon nor the Core Earth Demon could kill each other.
"...Spirit, you may take one Hell Demon, hoping you will keep your word..." The Old Fla Demon chose to concede, no longer the fierce and chaotic Fla Demon of its pri that even faced down a Demon Monarch and Devil Monarch.
"I will." Lu Li accepted the goodwill released by the Old Fla Demon: "Are there any commissions in the town?"
The answer was no.
Within hundreds of miles, there was nothing in the town that could threaten the Old Fla Demon, aside from the Core Earth Demon.
And the soul standing before it.
Lu Li did not want to leave empty-handed; even though the Old Fla Demon agreed to give him a Hell Demon: "I helped Inner Sea Town solve the Core Earth Demon, how much reward are you willing to offer?"
The Old Fla Demon fell into a silence, the magma splashing against the lake shore: "...I can help you remove the curse of the female demon."
"Can you remove the demon’s mark?"
The remaining 23 days seed sufficient for Lu Li to grow to an unimaginable extent, but if he could get rid of the mark without ti constraints, Lu Li would have more confidence in facing off against that demon.
"I can’t do that..."
Lu Li was not surprised, taking out a silver box from his pocket: "What is this?"
The Light Core ford after the death of the Core Earth Demon lay quietly inside the silver box.
"The heart of the Core Earth Demon, place it in the depths of the lava, a new Core Earth Demon will be nurtured and born."
"A Core Demon Egg?"
"You can see it that way..."
"Are you interested in it?" Lu Li intended to sell it.
"The Fla Demon and Core Earth Demon are sworn enemies; we will never capitulate to each other."
For the Old Fla Demon, the Light Core of the Core Earth Demon had no use other than consumption: "You can take it to Abyss City for auction, where demons will go insane over it..."
Lu Li noted the Old Fla Demon’s suggestion, and next, it was ti to select a Hell Demon.
The magma, under the control of the Lord of Flas, surged like waves, pushing the Hell Demon Horde huddled in the Obsidian Beast Fence to the lake shore.
"Please choose the Hell Demon you desire..."
This scene reminded Lu Li of so knight novels. When picking a foal, the protagonists always favored the solitary or uniquely characteristic foals.
"Which one is more obedient and faster?"
Lu Li sought the Old Fla Demon’s advice; he couldn’t perpetually release the Cursed Titles, so an obedient Hell Demon that wouldn’t attack its master was more crucial.
The magma thrust an alard adult Hell Demon upwards and brought it to the shallow waters before Lu Li. This Hell Demon sensed Lu Li’s aura but crouched shivering due to the presence of the Fla Demon.
"It is the fastest Hell Demon in the group." As for obedience, the magma-ford claws clutched the Hell Demon, moving it towards the head of the Old Fla Demon, "I will obliterate its consciousness, leaving only instincts."
Perhaps realizing its impending miserable fate, the Hell Demon struggled, letting out sorrowful howls, its cooling lava-like body leaking magma.
The Hell Demon Horde beca agitated by their companion’s screams, huddling tightly together, and the howls of the Hell Demon grew more mournful and pitiful.
"Stop it."
As the Hell Demon was about to be tossed into the Old Fla Demon’s dripping lava-filled demonic maw, Lu Li stopped it.
"You don’t want it?" the Old Fla Demon paused.
"I do, but there’s no need to erase its consciousness."
Lu Li didn’t belong to the law of the jungle of Hell’s Law and could not accept it.
The wise Old Fla Demon guessed the reason.
"I can leave it with the Fla Demon brand, any attack on you will cause backlash."
"Thank you." Lu Li did not refuse again.
"You’re welco..."
A deep response sounded with so peculiarity, the Old Fla Demon had forgotten when he last heard these words.
A phantom mark appeared, descending and rging into the Hell Demon’s head, and the magma sent the exhausted Hell Demon back to the shallow waters. It seed to know its consciousness was spared due to this soul, and the Hell Demon obediently lay at Lu Li’s feet.
Having acquired a steed, Lu Li bid farewell to the Old Fla Demon and returned to the street with the weak and listless Hell Demon.
Lu Li didn’t hurry to leave, instead conversing with rchants or taverns from other towns, seeking commissions.
Unfortunately, most were apprehensive of Lu Li and unwilling to commission him, or their offers of dozens of soul rewards were not to Lu Li’s liking — after wandering the small town for a dozen minutes, only one demon was willing to hire Lu Li: escort it and its convoy to Abyss City, with a reward of 500 souls.
With 150 humanity, the 5 humanity offered seed a little ager, especially considering it would take seven to eight days for the convoy to reach Abyss City—
But in fact, simply hunting down Weird Lairs was no more rewarding, even if hunting Advanced Demons — the Core Earth Demon only amounted to about 20 humanity.
The true accumulation of wealth lay in towns, in places where trade occurs.
Lu Li could join the caravan heading to Abyss City, taking commissions at towns along the way, clearing lairs, and needing ti to acclimate his Hell Demon.
But if he encountered towns along the way that could not resist their greed, Lu Li would not mind taking over the town’s wealth and selling it to the caravan.
After all, towns like Rift Valley Town with demon lairs brought unimaginable humanity.
