Chapter 1773 The Story of Killing Demons

"Killing Demon, how have I treated you?" On the sacred mountain, Zhou Wen asked the demon baby to summon out the Killing Demon, staring at him with a smile and asked.

"Not... not bad..." Sha Mo stammered, secretly criticizing in his heart: "How dare you ask me how I treat you? How I treat you, don't you have any idea?"

"Just okay?" Zhou Wen said in a deep voice with a frown.

The killer was shocked, but quickly put on a smile and said, "It's more than good, it's really good, there's nothing to say about it, it's like you're my new parents."

Zhou Wen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since you know that I am really good to you, now is the time for you to show it."

"What do you want to do?" The Demon Killer looked at Zhou Wen warily.

"First, take a look at where this place is," Zhou Wen said.

"This is... the sacred mountain of the gods..." After carefully looking around, the killer's face suddenly changed: "Why did you bring the master to a place like this... You don't know..."

Halfway through his words, Sha Mo seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stopped talking.

"What do I not know?" Zhou Wen said slowly as he looked at the killer.

"Nothing." The Demon Killer kept silent, obviously unwilling to reveal more about the demon baby.

"You don't have to say anything, but you'd better understand the current situation." Zhou Wen held the golden trident in front of the killer and continued, "This is the only surviving god on the sacred mountain. He has now become my weapon, and I have been left on this sacred mountain by the magic cube. I can't return to Earth. What will happen next, I think you should know better than me."

"What did you say? This is a weapon transformed by the Golden God Clan. Would the Golden God Clan choose to be your weapon?" The Demon Killer looked unconvinced.

"Of course, he will become my weapon, and the little baby should have contributed to this," Zhou Wen said.

"What do you mean by 'it's all thanks to the master'? I think it's all thanks to the master." The Demon Killer corrected immediately.

"No matter who deserves the credit, I am now the holder of this weapon. Now I can only stay in the other dimension, and the little baby can only stay here. Now the whole other dimension knows that I have become the master of the sacred mountain and possess this golden weapon."

"Idiot, didn't I tell you that you must never reveal the master's existence? How could you bring her to participate in the Rubik's Cube Battle..." The Demon Killer yelled in frustration.

"Besides these, don't you have anything else to say? If not, then wait to die with your master." Zhou Wen interrupted the demon killer and said expressionlessly.

The Demon Killer was speechless, his expression fluctuating for a long moment before he finally spoke with a sigh, "You're mistaken. Even if I told you everything about my master, it wouldn't help your current situation at all, and it might even make it more dangerous. If this is why you exposed my master, then I can only say you're truly foolish."

"If you don't tell me, how do you know it won't help me?" Zhou Wen said casually without any hurry.

"Well, actually I know quite a bit, but there is one thing I can tell you for sure. The reason why the sacred mountain and the gods disappeared overnight has a lot to do with the master." The demon killer said helplessly.

"Go on." Zhou Wen couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he saw that the Demon Killer finally gave in.

Zhou Wen became more and more curious about the origin of the demon baby, but there were too few people who knew the origin of the demon baby. Sha Mo was definitely the one who knew the truth best at the moment, but his mouth was too tight-lipped. Even if Zhou Wen threatened with his life, Sha Mo refused to reveal a word. It was rare for him to say anything about the demon baby.

The demon killer's expression was very complicated. After a long while, he said, "Let me tell you a story."

"I'm all ears." Zhou Wen said calmly.

"Once upon a time, there was a hunter who made a living by hunting every day. One day, while hunting, he saw a wolf biting a rabbit. The rabbit was a newly born rabbit. In its nest, there were several rabbit cubs crying for food. When the cubs saw their mother at the nest, they crawled out one by one, wanting to find her to feed. However, they simply couldn't understand that not only was their mother in imminent danger, but they themselves would also become food in the belly of the hungry wolf." The Killing Demon said this, staring at Zhou Wen and asked, "If you were the hunter now, what would you do?"

"Kill the wolf and save the rabbit and its children." Zhou Wen replied.

"Well, if the hunter saves the rabbit and its cubs, then the wolf will starve, and it may also be the mother of several wolf cubs. Without food, it and its cubs will starve to death. If you know this, will you still save the rabbit and those cubs?" asked the killer again.

"Yes." Zhou Wen answered directly without hesitation.

This is an unsolvable problem. From different perspectives, whether Zhou Wen saves her or not is wrong, so he doesn't need to think too much and just be himself.

"Very good, you saved the rabbit and its cubs, and you killed the wolves, and the wolf cubs starved to death. After that, the rabbits had no natural enemies, and they continued to reproduce and increase in number. The original resources could no longer satisfy the rabbits' appetites and fill their stomachs, so those rabbits would swarm to eat your crops, causing your crops to fail and leaving you with no food to survive the winter. What will you choose?" The Killing Demon continued to give Zhou Wen difficult questions.

"So, I made the wrong choice from the beginning. I shouldn't have saved that rabbit." Zhou Wen is not a stubborn person. Although he could use some reasoning to refute Sha Mo, he did not do so. Instead, he changed his thinking.

"Well, if you don't save the rabbits, then after the wolves hunt the rabbits, they will have enough food. The wolf cubs will grow up quickly and give birth to more wolves. By then, the mountains will be full of wolves. Not to mention going up the mountain to hunt, even living in the mountains will be very dangerous. Maybe one day the wolves will rush into your home and tear you apart and eat you. Is this the result you want?" The Killer Demon sneered.

Most people would have blamed the Demon Killer for the problem, saying it was unsolvable. However, Zhou Wen didn't think so. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I can tame the wolf and, with its help, hunt a certain number of rabbits. I can keep the rabbit population within a certain range. This way, the rabbits won't become a disaster, and the wolves won't become a threat to me."

The Demon Slayer then nodded, seemingly appreciating it, and said, "I hope that when you encounter the same situation in the future, you will be able to make the same choice as you did now, rather than acting on impulse."

"And then?" Zhou Wen didn't want to discuss this with Sha Mo. He just wanted to know what the story of Sha Mo had to do with the demon baby.
