Chapter 284: Heart Eater
The corridors in the underground are long and complicated, extending in all directions like a rabbit hole.
If he hadn't followed the little monster, Xie Liuyin felt that he would definitely get lost in there.
This time, they walked for a long time before the little monsters finally reached their destination.
This cave was much more spacious than the previous one. When Xie Liuyin took a look, he couldn't even see the end of the cave.
There are countless rock pillars connected end to end in the cave, and these pillars are densely packed with holes of various sizes.
What made her feel uncomfortable was that there were at least two eggs wriggling in each hole.
Obviously, this is the monsters' hatching room.
Although the monsters in the Senluo Realm can be condensed by the gray gas, this method takes a long time, and the monsters condensed are still of the lowest level.
The reason why there are such a large number of monsters here today is because of the monsters' own reproduction.
Monsters that reproduce on their own can inherit the level and abilities of their mothers and can grow up quickly.
If there hadn't been a constant stream of cultivators coming from the world of cultivation to hunt monsters, monsters would have already flooded everywhere in the Senluo world.
Xie Liuyin simply counted and found that there were at least tens of thousands of monster eggs in a stone pillar. There were too many stone pillars like this in the cave to count. It was conceivable what a disaster it would be for the monks if all the monsters here were hatched.
She memorized these things with fear and trepidation, planning to explore the route a few more times and then find a chance to bring Song Xing and the others to destroy the monster's lair.
Suddenly, a rhythmic sound of footsteps came from far away.
Xie Liuyin had a hunch that something was wrong, so he turned around and looked over. He saw a slender figure resembling a human walking out of the darkness step by step from deeper in the incubator.
It was not until the figure came closer that Xie Liuyin could see the person's appearance clearly.
It was obviously also a monster. It was covered with black scales, and the teeth on its lips were so dense and numerous that they looked as if they had exploded, and they looked extremely sharp.
But apart from that, its appearance is exactly the same as that of humans. If such a monster were covered in human skin, it would definitely be more like a ghost than the previous one.
As soon as this thought popped into her head, Xie Liuyin smiled at her own wild thoughts.
This is a monster, it's impossible for it to be the same as a human.
As a result, the next second, she heard the monster covered with black scales in front of her utter: "How many cultivators did you kill today?"
The clear and melodious tone of voice almost scared Xie Liuyin out of her wits. She widened her eyes uncontrollably, unable to believe that these words came out of the mouth of a monster.
How could this be? Aren’t these monsters? How can they speak human language?
And who was this sentence just said to? Did this guy discover himself?
Xie Liuyin's doubts were soon answered. Another voice came from behind her, or rather from behind the little monster:
"That group of people reacted very quickly and summoned a lot of cultivators from the cultivation world. This time, they only seriously injured a few people and didn't kill them."
Xie Liuyin felt a chill down his spine as another human-like figure appeared, but this monster's figure actually had a bit of feminine beauty.
Just like that, the two monsters started talking right under Xie Liuyin's nose as if no one was around:
"The plan of the Mind Eater has failed, and the Lord Demon is very unhappy. If we don't teach that group of people a lesson soon, I'm afraid we will be the ones in trouble."
Hearing this, the female demon said helplessly, "Of course I know it's hard to explain to the Demon Lord, but these are all my treasures that I have carefully raised. Many of my treasures died in the two sieges."
She caressed the squirming eggs lovingly, her eyes acting as if she was looking at her beloved.
Xie Liuyin saw this scene, but she didn't feel moved at all. She just felt a little disgusted.
"Hmph, that group of people are lucky. Our plan was just a little bit away from success. I don't know who saw through the Demon Lord's plan. If we knew, we would definitely skin that person and bite his bones to pieces!" said the male monster in a rough voice.
The female monster said, "From what I heard, it was the Qing Xiao Sect that started the trouble. I'm afraid that the guy named Song Xing discovered that something was wrong and ruined our plan."
Xie Liuyin's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that he would let Senior Brother Song Xing take the blame.
She continued to listen.
"The guy named Song Xing is quite capable. If he wasn't a human, I would really like to pull him over to work for our Demon Lord." said the male monster.
The female monster snorted: "Come on, if he really comes to our side, will we still have a chance to make a comeback?"
Perhaps he thought this made sense, the male monster stopped talking about Song Xing and instead brought up another topic: "How is the cultivation of the new Mind Eater Demon Shura going? Now the human race has refined a magical weapon that can distinguish between us monsters and monks, so the Mind Eater Demon can no longer sneak into the city."
After hearing this, Xie Liuyin finally understood that the heart-eating demon they were talking about was the skin-covered ghost they called themselves.
But Xie Liuyin felt that the name they gave was more suitable for the situation of this monster.
But who is this Shura?
"He is now busy thinking about how to make us more like humans. The Demon Lord said that if he really creates something that can change our appearance, we will have to listen to him from now on." When the female monster said this, there was obvious dissatisfaction in her tone, as if she was not very convinced by the man named Shura.
The male monster said, "I can't help it. Shura is indeed very capable. If he really turns me into a human, what will happen if I obey his orders?"
The female monster was not satisfied: "He only talks nice words every time, but he has not made any contribution to you. The monsters that attack humans are all bred by me. He finally created a heart-eating monster, and he took the monster eggs from me to feed it."
The female monster caressed the eggs in her hand with a distressed look, her tone becoming increasingly sarcastic: "In the end, I wasted so many of my good children. In the end, not to mention making it out of the Senluo Realm, I didn't even cause much loss to the human race."
The male monster stopped talking. He always believed that the strong should be respected. Shura was one of the weaker monsters among them. It was strange that he would be interested in him.
The two had been chatting for a long time, and seeing that they couldn't come up with anything, they simply stopped talking and wasted time.
"Okay, I'll go check on Shura, you continue raising your child." The male monster said, and left the incubation room.
When the female monster saw him leave, she waved her hand violently, releasing a thick gray gas that enveloped all the eggs and little monsters.
Before Xie Liuyin could look again, his mind was suddenly corroded by the gray air, and he suddenly woke up from the bed.
