◎Is this really a demon clan?◎
"Everyone, grab your bags, we're about to leave!"
The bamboo bear chief stood on a stone at the entrance of the village, directing the bamboo bears to pack their luggage, line up in an orderly manner, and walk to the edge of the beast world.
The servals were already waiting not far away, and had joined the bamboo bears. They were also carrying large and small bags of food and gifts for the demons. Their fluffy tails were wagging back and forth, and they looked excited and nervous.
To them, the Demon Realm is a strange land after all.
According to legend, it is the source of all evil, a place where blood and killing converge, with no grass growing and only magma everywhere. Once you step in, you will die.
Although both the Serval and Bamboo Bear tribes knew that the legend was not true, they were still somewhat worried.
Seeing that there were orcs from other tribes in the Bamboo Bear tribe, Chief Serval looked at them in surprise and asked him quietly, "Where did these orcs come from? Why do I seem to see the Golden Lion tribe as well?"
"They were rescued from the Beast King's prison by the King," Chief Bamboo Bear shrugged. "They heard that the demons were going to hold a sports meet, and they wanted to go and see it. After I asked the King for permission, I brought them along."
These orcs who were imprisoned by the Beast King instead of being killed directly came from various large tribes such as the Lion Tribe, the Tiger Tribe, the Rhino Tribe, etc. They were all important figures such as tribe leaders or elders.
...
...
Not all of them supported the previous Beast King. Some of them were just feared by the Black Bear King because of their great strength. Their relationship with the Bamboo Bear Tribe was not so harmonious. The Bamboo Bear Chief was willing to treat them because they were all orcs, but after they recovered, he no longer cared about their meals.
These orcs are quite smart. When they go out hunting, they will give some prey to the Bamboo Bear Tribe to thank them for treating and sheltering them.
Since they would most likely be discovered by the Beast King if they returned to their tribe now, the orcs decided to secretly send a leopard orc with strong hiding ability back to deliver messages to the various tribes. The other orcs remained in the Bamboo Bear Village, discussing ways to get rid of the Black Bear Beast King.
Before they could come to a conclusion, they learned from the bamboo bears that the demons were going to hold a sports meet. The beastmen, who were deeply impressed by the demon king who rescued them, were immediately tempted. They hunted hard, gathered enough food for the trip to the demon realm, and begged the bamboo bear chief to take them with him.
After hearing the whole story, the serval chief sighed quietly at the ruthlessness of the Beast King. He asked no more questions, but watched the serval cubs more closely - he had no good feelings towards these powerful orcs. Every year when collecting tribute, it was always these orcs who bullied the cats.
Led by the bamboo bear Huabai, they trekked for about two hours and finally arrived at the edge of the beast world.
Chief Bamboo Bear and Chief Serval both received the pass from Warren in advance. It was a beautiful and exquisite metal plate inlaid with silver magic runes.
The chief of the Bamboo Bear tribe, who had already taught himself a lot of magic runes, could recognize the three words "Bamboo Bear" and "Line". The other beast tribes could not recognize a single word. They just stretched their necks to look at it curiously and praised, "This pattern is quite beautiful."
As soon as he took out the pass, the magic barrier covering the edge of the beast world suddenly changed, and a gorgeous black metal gate appeared in the middle. Magnificent starlight scattered inside and outside the gate, outlining rather strange facial features.
The pair of eyes that looked like stars fell on the beastmen. After a moment, the mouth opened and closed: "Serval tribe, 157 serval beastmen; Bamboo bear tribe, 328 bamboo bear beastmen; Thunder leopard tribe, 2 thunder leopard beastmen..."
The orcs looked at the magical metal door in amazement, marveling at the mysterious magic of the demons. Only Chief Bamboo Bear opened his eyes wide in horror, silently doubting his life - how could the demons be so proficient in mathematics even for a door!
The facial features composed of starlight proudly reported the names of all the beastmen, paused, as if confirming something, and with a shout of "Welcome to the Demon Realm", the black metal door slammed open.
The starlight drifted from the surface of the gate and landed on the chest of each orc, turning into an exquisite and beautiful round badge. In the center of the badge was engraved a blood moon, emitting a bright red light under the reflection of the sun.
Even the Golden Lion Orcs who had once given birth to the Beast King had never seen such an amazing magical item, and they couldn't let go and touched it again and again.
"Hello," the dashing captain of the magic army, wearing silver enchanted armor and with a well-trained team of magic soldiers behind him, nodded at them in a friendly manner, "I am Arabella, responsible for taking you to the Demon Realm King City."
With a gulp, the golden lion orc couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of dry foam.
Why do they have to find such a powerful demon to do such a task? He complained loudly in his heart. The magic fluctuations of this demon were so strong that they could compete with the relatively weaker dragons, not to mention that it also had such an extraordinary-looking armor!
Originally, he hadn't dared to have any ulterior motives, and now he was even more obedient. The golden lion orc even tucked his tail between his legs. He looked at Arabella tremblingly, and then was shocked to find that a serval had actually jumped onto the shoulder of this powerful demon.
He was so frightened that he almost jumped up: Is this serval crazy? How dare it provoke the demons in their territory!
The Golden Lion Orc was extremely anxious. Although he usually looked down on the weak serval, they were all orcs and cats after all, so he couldn't just stand by and watch it die. He gritted his teeth and carefully moved towards Arabella, thinking that if the demons were furious and wanted to kill the cat, he might be able to plead for the serval.
Unexpectedly, before he got close, he saw Arabella touching the serval's head, and the golden lion orc suddenly froze in place.
Are the demons so approachable?
"Your tribe actually has two forms, a bit like the slimes in the Demon Realm," Arabella happily chatted with the familiar kitten, "Your beast form is so cute."
She felt that the serval's form was very similar to the lava cats that many demons in the Demon Realm were keen on raising, but she was not sure whether the servals would find it impolite to compare them with magical pets, so she did not say it out loud, but could not help but gently pinch the tip of the serval's tail again.
"We orcs usually prefer to use animal form," Mao Ji shook his ears, "but for things like grilling fish or moving things, it's more convenient to use human form."
They chatted all the way and walked for about five minutes until they reached the temporary transit station that the Demon Realm had built at the edge of the barrier.
Since they didn’t know where the orcs would come in from the barrier at first, it would be too troublesome to repair the road at the edge of the Demon Realm. Therefore, the orcs who entered the Demon Realm saw the most primitive scenery of the Demon Realm—
There are thousands of miles of barren land and no trace of human beings. The world is desolate and bleak. The roars of monsters can be faintly heard, adding a sinister crisis to the desolation.
Orcs like the Golden Lion Orcs, who have a keen sense of smell, can clearly detect the countless ferocious monsters hiding under this land. If it weren't for the elite and brave magic soldier team that gave him a great sense of security, he would have dared not move forward.
However, when arriving at the temporary transfer station, the style suddenly changed.
This transfer station is a large arc-shaped house, with a circle of blue bricks paved in front and back, and a magic protection array to block the fine sand and gravel blown by the wind. There are many crops planted around the house, some of which have grown broad orange-red leaves, fluttering in the sun.
Arabella walked in front of the protective array, which automatically recognized the magic fluctuations on her body and opened a door for her. Then the orcs lined up and walked into the door, staring at the beautiful transit station house.
"This must be the palace of the Demon King," the Golden Lion Beastman said excitedly. He couldn't help but compare this place with the Beast King's Palace. Then he realized with depression that this place was much more beautiful than the Beast King's Palace except for its smaller scale. Although there were no gold, silver, gemstones and other accessories, it had an elegant and exquisite beauty. "Your Demon King actually lives so close to the edge of the Demon Realm. Is it because you want to go to the Beast Realm often?"
Arabella gave him a surprised look.
"No," she shrugged, "It's just a transit station to the royal city."
The Golden Lion Orc widened his eyes in confusion, totally unable to believe that such a beautiful house was just an ordinary transit station.
Among the orcs, only Huabai the bamboo bear who had been to the royal city before accepted this well. He waved his bear paw and gestured to his tribesmen: "The king's palace is much more spectacular than this transit station! It is as tall as many bamboo trees and very spacious!"
Arabella clapped her hands and signaled the orcs to be quiet. "Before entering the Demon Realm King City, I will explain the precautions to everyone. Please listen carefully. If you intentionally violate the rules of the demon clan after entering the king city, the demon clan will punish you severely."
At the end of her speech, she inadvertently revealed a hint of murderous intent, which frightened the orcs so much that they dared not say a word. They huddled together like a ball and listened to Arabella's speech silently.
"First of all, the discipline requirements. After entering the Royal City, you are not allowed to fight in any form other than mobile games. You are not allowed to steal or rob..."
Arabella cleared her throat and pointed to a stone tablet not far away, which recorded all the rules that must not be violated after entering the Demon Realm. However, except for Chief Bamboo Bear, the beastmen at present did not know the magic words, so they could only continue to listen to Arabella's recitation.
"The second is the hygiene requirement. Whether it's before or after meals or before going to bed, you must use cleaning magic to clean yourself up. It doesn't matter if you don't know the cleaning spell. After arriving at the royal city, there will be magic soldiers who will guide you to find the lazy stone with the cleaning magic circle engraved on it."
Hearing this, Mao Ji raised his paw proudly: "We servals love cleanliness the most! I promise there will be no problem, meow!"
The Golden Lion Orc was terrified at first, fearing that he had been tricked into some demonic arena. When Arabella began to speak, his expression suddenly became distorted, and he couldn't help but whisper to the orcs around him: "Are we in the demon tribe or the god tribe? The rules of the god tribe are not so upright that they even control hygiene!"
The author has something to say:
The author has to have his eyes checked tomorrow, and will probably have to have his pupils dilated. I'm not sure if I can write tomorrow. Anyway, I'll try my best. If I really can't, I'll send you a note asking for leave and make up for it with 10,000 words later.
Of course there will be an update at 9 o'clock tonight~
