To enter Black Dragon City, one must be at least a spirit beast; ordinary demon beasts are not qualified to live there.
However, the Demon King can bring his subordinates in.
The aura that Lu Chen exuded appeared to the four bull demons guarding the city gate as that of a demon king, but they could not discern what Lu Chen's true form was.
The enormous black-feathered golden eagle transformed into a small bird, landed on Lu Chen's shoulder, and walked into Black Dragon City together.
This ability to change body shape startled the four bull demons.
It should be noted that demons are generally very large and cannot change their size before undergoing a minor tribulation. However, there is one type that can: spirit beasts or divine beasts, who possess innate supernatural abilities.
The ability to shrink in size, which the Black Feathered Golden Eagle used, was a supernatural power that Hong Luan had taught him.
Both the Red Phoenix and the Black-feathered Golden Eagle are avian demon beasts, so they naturally have something in common. The Black-feathered Golden Eagle cultivated for a long time before learning this supernatural power, but it could only barely use it.
If it is a red phoenix, it can become even smaller.
As soon as Lu Chen entered Black Dragon City, he sensed that this city was extraordinary.
"What terrifying demonic aura!"
Lu Chen could clearly sense that Black Dragon City was filled with powerful demonic energy. Any living being he encountered in the city was at least a spirit beast level. Their strength might not be great, but their bloodline was very noble.
There are very few demon kings like Lu Chen who carry around an ordinary level eight demon beast, the Black Feathered Golden Eagle.
In Black Dragon City, the guards around the Demon King are all spirit beasts.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Black Dragon City of the Demon Clan, it's teeming with powerful demons!"
Lu Chen glanced around and felt as if he had entered the kingdom of orcs, where half-human, half-demon creatures roamed everywhere.
Wow, a cat-eared girl!
Wow, bunny-eared girl!
"And mermaids?"
Lu Chen was stunned as he looked around.
These various kinds of mythical beasts are bizarre and diverse.
"Restaurants, gambling dens, blacksmith shops... Indeed, humans are the most intelligent of all beings. After these monsters gained a certain level of intelligence, they also learned to live like humans!"
Lu Chen was stunned as he looked at the street, which was more than ten feet wide, and the various strange buildings and shops around him.
"Wow, this Black Dragon City Lord, the divine beast Black Dragon, is truly remarkable! He's managed to govern Black Dragon City so well!"
Lu Chen went straight into a restaurant.
The city of this monster was also extremely tall, and in comparison, it was far more rugged than anything in human cities.
As soon as Lu Chen entered, he saw a demon beast with a huge elephant head on its head, busy greeting guests. Upon seeing Lu Chen, the demon beast immediately ran over respectfully.
"Sir, what can I do for you? Our shop has excellent wines and various delicacies. Here is the list, please take a look!"
Xiang Yao pointed to a square jade carving on the wall.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, Lu Chen saw all the messages left inside the jade carving.
This is the recipe.
"Give me a pot of fine wine, and a table full of our signature dishes!"
Lu Chen suddenly became interested. The various foods in this recipe were truly bizarre, and many of them were made from the meat of demonic beasts.
Of course, there are also vegetarian options.
Vegetarian diets include all sorts of natural treasures, such as Ganoderma lucidum and other rare herbs.
"Haha, there's even elephant meat! I wonder what this elephant demon was thinking!"
Lu Chen looked on in astonishment.
It truly lives up to its name, Black Dragon City.
It's different from the cities of the human race.
Consuming here also requires spirit stones, which contain pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and are of great use to demonic beasts.
Monsters also need to cultivate.
Before long, the wine and dishes were served.
Lu Chen casually tasted it, but lost interest. Although these demonic beasts had learned the skills quite well, they were not as refined as humans in this kind of work. The so-called spirit beast meat did not have any special cooking methods.
Once you get used to it, that's fine.
This was already quite difficult for the demon beast.
The wine here is really good; it's said to be brewed by the most famous winemaker in Black Dragon City.
As Lu Chen casually drank his wine, he listened to the loud discussions of some demonic beasts in the restaurant.
"Have you heard? The city lord is recruiting warriors again to venture into the underground dragon's lair. Anyone who reaches the level of a great demon or a level nine spirit beast or above can get a spot!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this news, Lu Chen's heart stirred.
Whether the legend of Black Dragon City was true or not, Lu Chen had heard people mention it before. Now, upon suddenly hearing about the underground dragon's lair, he immediately became extremely alert.
"What exactly is the Lord's intention in doing this?"
Those demonic beasts ate meat and talked loudly, without showing any awareness of disturbing others.
Monsters don't care much about these things.
Lu Chen heard it even more clearly.
"How could we little fellows presume to guess what the City Lord is thinking? Anyway, there are many good things in this underground dragon's lair. Do you know how this wine is brewed?"
"Oh? This wine is also related to that underground dragon's lair?"
"Of course, it is said that the water used to mix this wine is the spiritual spring from the dragon's lair underground. This spiritual spring contains a trace of mysterious power that can enhance one's abilities!"
Hearing these conversations, Lu Chen frowned slightly.
He picked up the wine jug again, poured himself a cup, and savored it carefully.
"A spiritual spring?"
Lu Chen took a sip of wine, then carefully sensed the surroundings, and sure enough, he discovered something unusual.
