"Xiao Feng!" Taotie roared angrily.
Xiao Feng picked at his ear, feigning innocence, and said, "Oh dear, I did intend to let you go, but I never expected that we would inexplicably end up on the territory of the demon race."
"So for my own safety, I have to let you stay a little longer. Don't worry, once we find a way to leave here, I will definitely give you your freedom!"
Unable to do anything to Xiao Feng, Taotie could only squat down beside him again, feeling frustrated, and no longer pay any attention to him.
Xiao Feng called Taotie back, not because he wanted Taotie to have a fight with him.
Xiao Feng said to Taotie, "My senior sister and I are both human, so we'll be restricted in the territory of the demon race. Could you go and catch some prey? Don't let the other demons discover our presence!"
Hearing Xiao Feng enjoying being bossed around so readily, Taotie said irritably, "I'm not your servant, why are you making me hunt? If there's nothing to eat, then go hungry!"
Xiao Feng didn't speak, but just looked at Taotie with a smile.
Taotie could feel Xiao Feng's gaze fixed intently on it.
Taotie couldn't hold back any longer.
"I must have done something terrible to be entangled with this guy! One day I'll definitely eat him alive!"
After roaring angrily in its heart, Taotie got up and left.
Taotie agreed verbally, but before leaving, it grabbed a bird demon who was resting nearby and made the bird demon its assistant.
The two quickly left the tree hole and ran a long way before stopping.
"Boss, we don't need to go this far to find prey!" The foolish bird demon scratched his head, not quite understanding what Taotie was up to.
"Fool! He asked you to take him to a place to rest, and you just take him there? This is a demon realm! If the two humans are discovered here, they'll surely die a horrible death!"
"If you used your brain a little, you could have killed them. How could you actually let them control you?" Taotie said angrily, kicking the bird demon.
The bird demon had recovered some of its demonic power in the demon race's territory and was barely able to flap its wings and fly.
Seeing the Taotie kicking at him, the bird demon quickly dodged the Taotie's attack, then whispered ingratiatingly, "My lord, please calm down. I was just afraid he would take my bird's life."
Taotie sneered: "If you don't find a way to kill him, I'll take your bird life first!"
The bird demon also realized that the relationship between Taotie and Xiao Feng was not that of master and contracted beast at all.
But the bird demon didn't expect that Taotie was secretly plotting to kill Xiao Feng.
Upon hearing Taotie's words, the bird demon couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Even someone as powerful as you was completely captivated by him. You want me, a bird demon with barely any demonic power, to kill him? Are you trying to send me to my death?"
Despite his grumbling, the bird demon dared not show any dissatisfaction or resistance to Taotie's words.
It spoke with a conflicted expression: "But sir, I can't beat that guy. I only have a little bit of demonic power left. Even if I were at my peak, I wouldn't be his match. How can I kill him?"
The Taotie was speechless. It wasn't out of its mind; how could it possibly allow a bird demon that could be crushed with a single step to kill Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei?
Doesn't this bird demon know what it means to use someone else to do your dirty work?
Please, this is demon territory!
Countless powerful demons who harbor extreme hatred for the human race live here.
As long as the bird demon can lead the way and take Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei to the territory of the great demon, the great demon will naturally kill the two of them.
How could Taotie possibly expect that stupid bird demon to kill Xiao Feng?
It's better to rely on yourself than on it.
"Are there any powerful demons' territories around here?"
After all, Taotie hadn't returned to the demon race for over a thousand years.
In addition, when it was free, it caused chaos everywhere and was not familiar with the situation of the demon race, so it could only ask the bird demon.
"Yes, yes, there are several powerful demon territories around here!" the bird demon said.
"Then let's find a way to bring Xiao Feng and the others to the Great Demon's territory later. Then let the Great Demon take action, and the problem will be solved, hahaha!" Taotie laughed wickedly.
The bird demon standing nearby also thought it was a good idea and readily nodded in agreement.
In the tree hollow where Xiao Feng and the others were resting.
The sounds of the Taotie and the bird demon discussing how to deal with Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei echoed in the small tree hole.
Xiao Feng held in his hand a magical artifact produced by the system that looked like a miniature speaker.
The content that Taotie and the bird demon were discussing has been played back through this magical artifact.
"They actually wanted to kill you? When did you put this magical artifact on the Taotie?"
Zhao Yuwei asked Xiao Feng with a smile in her eyes.
Just now, Xiao Feng suddenly took out this thing, and Zhao Yuwei didn't know what Xiao Feng was going to do. The next second, she heard the sound of Taotie coming from inside.
"Taowu forced me to release it, but of course I couldn't agree. It is one of the four ancient ferocious beasts. If I were to release it rashly, I don't know how much bloodshed it would cause."
"I just didn't expect that we would be thrown into the territory of the demon race by the spatial rift. I know that it has always wanted to kill me, so I must put something on it that can monitor it at any time, just in case."
Xiao Feng explained smugly.
"It's good that you took precautions, but now that these two demons have joined forces, should we still follow the direction they indicated?" Zhao Yuwei's voice was filled with worry.
"Of course, given our combined strength, as long as we don't cause too much trouble here, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Moreover, I have pills here that can conceal one's presence. If any major trouble arises, I can simply take one and resolve the issue smoothly."
Xiao Feng dared to linger here and let the bird demon and Taotie plot how to kill him, precisely because he had the system's safety net and those pills.
Xiao Feng was not angry because the two were discussing how to deal with him. After all, Xiao Feng did need these two demons to guide him.
The sound-emitting artifact continuously emitted the words of the bird demon and the Taotie cursing Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng simply put the things aside and acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
As the two demons gradually approached the tree hole.
Xiao Feng then stored the magical artifact in his system space, pretending to know nothing, and quietly waited in the tree hole.
The two demons returned quickly, bringing back a lot of wild game.
Xiao Feng was very satisfied with their abilities, so he personally cleaned the animals, skewered them, and made them into roast meat.
Xiao Feng didn't cook often, but he was very good at it, especially grilling meat.
Xiao Feng took out the seasonings he had stored in the system space and sprinkled them evenly on the roasted meat. The aroma was so enticing it made one almost dizzy.
