Chapter 200 A Chaotic Dance of Gods and Demons

After confirming that every part of the mountain had been doused with alcohol, Rong Yi personally lit the fire and watched as the flames quickly engulfed the entire mountain. Many of the lesser demons couldn't keep up with the speed at which the fire spread and howled as they were set ablaze.

Those with some strength ran down the mountain and headed straight for where Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing were.

"roar--"

A tiger's roar echoed through the area, and a brown tiger about three meters long landed, its stripes flowing as it walked.

"You little humans, destroying my territory!" roared a rough male voice.

The two men remained calm, and Rong Yi spoke first, "That's right, we burned the mountain."

The tiger demon was even more enraged, "I will skin you alive and trap your souls inside, tormenting you for all eternity!"

After roaring, he pounced...

An hour later, the tiger demon who had boasted of skinning the two men, along with many of its subordinates, died at the hands of Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing.

As for this tiger demon, Rong Yi intends to skin it and use its skin as a carpet, so it can be stepped on forever.

"Forget it, since this place is so chaotic and there are so many demons, we might as well leave a spot to harvest them." Rong Yi was too lazy to verify whether they could get out, but instead felt that the demons here could be dealt with properly.

Wei Yanqing was holding a rat demon that he had intentionally left behind. The rat was squeaking in his hand but dared not struggle.

"Okay, then let's ask this thing what it knows."

Rong Yi tilted his head and glanced at the white rat demon, which startled the white rat demon, making it scream even louder: "I know! I know a lot!"

"Oh? Then tell us a few."

Both eyes were fixed on it. The white rat demon, remembering how the tiger demon had set things up in the mountains, shouted first, "I didn't harm anyone, I'm a vegetarian demon." As it spoke, it shook its body, "These are all the food I hid."

The white rat demon shook out a lot of dried grass and grains; if one is not truly vegetarian, there is no need to carry these with them.

“I…I also let some people escape, but I didn’t dare to make it too obvious.”

Wei Yanqing shook the white rat demon. He didn't just pick any demon to keep. This one had a very pure aura. He could tell from its presence that it had never killed anything and had been pulled out of a burrow.

"Can demons freely enter and leave this territory?" Rong Yi asked directly.

The white rat demon shook its head hastily, "No, it can only go in, not out."

If it could get out, it would have left this terrible place long ago. Although it is a demon, it is just a minor demon. There are also demons in this world who want to live a peaceful life.

Wei Yanqing then asked, "How many demons are there here, and where do they mostly gather?"

If they are scattered, they will have to run around everywhere.

The white rat demon shrank back and said cautiously, "The right side of the territory is completely dry, and many people and demons have gone to the left side. The king was planning to leave yesterday, but it suddenly rained, so he changed his mind."

“The left side…” Rong Yi murmured, “Let’s go there.”

Although Wei Yanqing helped bring rain, it will take time for the area to return to normal rainfall frequency.

"I'm back, I'm back!"

In the impoverished village, the villagers cheered.

The ones who were welcomed were Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, who had been there for nearly half a month.

They came here from arid regions. At that time, the situation here was terrible. Most of the monsters that migrated from arid regions instantly disrupted the situation of the entire area. Not only humans, but also many lesser monsters were trembling with fear.

After half a month of cleanup and deterrence, the situation has improved a lot. Everyone in the area knows that two very powerful disciples from the immortal sects have suddenly arrived. Although they don't know why they came here, they have indeed helped the people in the area. Those who know this news have moved here with their families if they can.

Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing received a warm welcome upon returning to the village.

They will hunt monsters and keep their bones and horns, which can be used as weapons.

Wei Yanqing: "Keep these safe and turn them into weapons as I instructed."

These days, the villagers keep receiving these things. Wei Yanqing said to turn them into weapons and return them to the booklet, so they did as he said. How could they not listen to their great benefactor?

"The items given by the Immortal Lord yesterday are not yet finished; they need time to be polished." The man who spoke was the village chief.

“It’s definitely not easy for you, but you have to get used to it.”

Wei Yanqing had not yet told them that the weapons were meant for them.

The villagers received the items and began to busy themselves. Rong Yi walked ahead to the house the villagers had prepared for him. "The monsters have mostly run away recently. From now on, they'll have to run further away."

Wei Yanqing had anticipated this. The two of them were at the seventh level, while the monsters in their territory were at most at the ninth level. Under Rong Yi's unleashed power, they were no match for him.

They tried to join forces, but the price was that they were unharmed, while the demons suffered heavy losses, with several of their top demons dying.

As soon as the two sat down, several teenagers and a group of little kids came over.

Seeing them cautiously peek out, Rong Yi beckoned to them, "Come here."

A group of children rushed in excitedly.

"Sister Rong and Brother Wei caught a lot of demons, we saw them!" the little girl with her hair in a topknot exclaimed excitedly.

Rong Yi rested his right elbow on the table in the main room. "Yes, but many of the monsters in the neighborhood have run away, and we haven't caught as many as before."

One boy immediately said, "That's because they're afraid of their older sister and brother."

"right!"

Rong Yi didn't bring up the topic again, but stared at them and said, "Speak, what do you want to hear this time?"

Knowing that the two were disciples of a celestial sect helping the village, the children became bolder and gathered around them, asking about things outside their local area.

In the past, people would ask what delicious food was available, whether there were monsters outside, and what the imperial court was.

One of the children, who was about six months old, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sister, are the villages outside like ours? Is it this hard for everyone?"

This was the first time they had asked this kind of question; before, it was always about everyday life.

Wei Yanqing: "We still need to work from sunrise to sunset. There are many monsters outside, so it is definitely hard work. However, the imperial court is in charge of the outside world. When monsters attack, the disciples of the immortal sect will be dispatched to eliminate them."

"Are we the only ones fighting demons like gods?!"

The child's innocent and excited tone deeply moved Rong Yi.

"Now we have two experts helping us."

Wei Yanqing glanced at Rong Yi and slowly said, "I have never personally witnessed immortals dealing with demons. It was all done by court officials and disciples of immortal sects. But there are also sacrifices to the gods outside, mainly to pray for favorable weather and a bountiful harvest."

The younger children didn't understand anything and were still happy that a deity had once intervened for them.

The older children sensed something was amiss.

Previously, the great demon used the villagers as food, capturing people to eat them alive or torture them to death, while the lesser demons scavenged scraps behind them. In order to survive, the people had to work and grow food. The great demon also threatened them that they had to have children to keep their numbers enough for the demons to eat.

People live numbly; they don't react when a few people die as offerings to the gods, but when they really can't go on living, there's a small chance that the offerings will succeed.

When the gods occasionally intervened and dealt with a few small to medium-sized demons, the villagers were moved to tears of gratitude.

Now that the two of them are here, the villagers rarely mention gods or worship them. Their biggest expectation every day is to see how many monsters they kill. The fewer monsters they kill, the less threat they face to survival.

Oh, that's two hundred chapters already. I'm already brainstorming for my next book. I'm thinking of writing a pure, lighthearted story to relax a bit, probably something about a super-rich character.
