Sekiro and Ji Taimei did not dare to raise the questions in their hearts, but some of their companions were stubborn.
"Demon Lord, why are you selling yourself out here? The price you sell for must be higher than ours, right?"
The one who asked the question was a green rhinoceros monster.
This guy is really stubborn. Not only does he have a layer of solid armor on his head, but he also has a long horn.
Their demon leader is a tiger with wings. In the field of animal taming, it has a scientific name, called the flesh-winged tiger.
Therefore, this demon lord was called Flying Tiger.
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord glanced at the other demons, then looked outside the cave to make sure that no other demons were nearby. Then he asked in a low voice, "Are you curious too?"
Ji Taimei nodded immediately, but Sekiro looked around first, and when he saw that other monsters were nodding, he nodded as well.
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord sighed, his tone revealing helplessness: "I have no choice but to sell the information. After all, the Demon Lord's family has no surplus food!"
Hearing this, Sekiro lowered his head and rolled his eyes quietly.
It complained in its heart: I don't trust you! I clearly saw you dig a pit and hide a lot of blood food, and you dare to say that there is no surplus food? If you hadn't set a trap in that pit, I would have dug it up and stolen the food! Humph, you big liar.
Looking at the other monsters around him, Sekiro was surprised to find that their reactions were almost the same as his own. He couldn't help but be stunned: Does everyone know this secret?
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord was also stunned when he saw the reactions of the demons.
Then it said awkwardly: "The surplus food I'm talking about is elixirs! Although there are monsters in the secret realm that can make elixirs, these monsters are all forbidden to the Great Demon Lord. The elixirs they make are only provided to the Great Demon Lord. Not to mention that you haven't eaten them, even I haven't tasted them."
The demons nodded. What the Flying Tiger Demon Lord said was the truth. Before selling information to the cultivators, they had only heard of elixirs but had never seen them.
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord then revealed another big piece of news.
"I'm not the only demon lord who sells out information. In addition to the big demon lords and the diehards, many small demon lords are secretly selling information, but they sell more or less. In fact, we don't want to do this, but the elixirs and spiritual food given by the cultivators are really delicious!"
Hearing this, the demons couldn't help but think of the taste of the medicinal pills and spiritual food they had eaten in the past few days. They couldn't help but drool and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed very delicious!"
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord looked at the corpse of the little demon that had just been killed by its claws and snorted coldly, "We sell intelligence secretly. Even if we know about it, we won't expose it, and we may even help cover it up.
But this fellow informed me during the bombardment by the cultivators just now, saying that your reaction was wrong and suspected that you were bribed by the cultivators. Not only did he ask me to deal with you, he also suggested that I report this matter to other demon lords!
Humph, if I really let this matter out, even if you don't rebel, the other demon lords who have sold out information will definitely destroy me.
So, even though I really want to save its life, I can only kill it!"
When the demons heard this, they all patted their chests and promised, "Don't worry, Demon Lord, we will never tell anyone about this!"
"very good!"
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord was very satisfied with his subordinates' attitude and said with a smile: "From now on, we will sell intelligence together and make money together! In fact, I have been very good to you. Other demon lords want to collect commissions from their subordinates for selling intelligence, but I have never asked you for a single pill!"
The demons quickly flattered him, but one demon was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Should we continue to sell information?"
"Of course." The Flying Tiger Demon Lord nodded and said, "As long as the cultivators are not completely wiped out and the price is affordable, we can sell the information to them. To be honest, I don't want them to be completely wiped out. As long as they are not wiped out, we can always make money from elixirs, how great!"
All the demons nodded in unison. This was the truth. When a cultivator died, the benefits would definitely be divided up by the great demon lords. These demons, ghosts, and beasts would at most get a bite of flesh and blood, which was nothing compared to the elixir.
Ji Taimei turned her head and looked outside the cave. The artillery fire was still roaring.
It asked quietly: "So what should we do next? Should we stay in this cave and wait until the battle is over before going out? Or should we try to cause some damage to help the cultivators so that they won't be wiped out?"
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord shook his head and said, "It's not okay to sabotage. The Great Demon Lords are watching us. Once we sabotage, we will definitely be discovered. Then not only will we not earn any elixirs, but we will also lose our lives!"
All the monsters responded in unison.
Before they could say anything else, a voice suddenly rang out in the cave:
"What the Flying Tiger Demon Lord said is correct. You don't need to sabotage anything. You just need to continue to provide battlefield intelligence and do your work but not your efforts during the battle, and you will get the elixir and spiritual food."
"who?!"
Sekiro, Qingsi Yao and other small demons were immediately horrified and wanted to kill the guy who was talking to prevent the secret from being leaked.
"Don't be nervous, it's me, your old friend." A black shadow walked out from the depths of the cave. It was the Painted Skin Demon.
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord spoke at this time: "Don't be nervous, this is someone sent to our team by our sponsor... Hey, what's that called?"
"Liaison officer." The Painted Skin Demon replied, and at the same time his body surged, and soon he turned into the appearance of the little demon that had just been killed by the Flying Tiger Demon Lord.
The Painted Skin Demon said to the stunned little demons, "I am following the orders of my master to follow you so that I can report the intelligence you gather on the battlefield to you as soon as possible. And you will continue to receive various rewards."
Then, it bowed to the Flying Tiger Demon Lord and said, "Demon Lord, I'll trouble you to take care of me during this period of time."
"Okay, okay." The Flying Tiger Demon Lord nodded.
From the looks of it, you can tell that it must have discussed this with the Painted Skin Demon long ago.
The Painted Skin Demon continued, "My Lord values you very much and has even given you a code name, called: Underground Traffic Station."
The Green Si Demon looked bewildered: "I know about the underground, but what does this transportation station mean? Also, we are all active above ground, not going underground."
The Painted Skin Demon explained: "The underground here does not mean that you should stay underground, but it refers to a dark place. As for the transportation station, it refers to a secret contact point for transmitting intelligence, letters, and picking up and dropping off passing personnel."
"Wow, you know a lot."
A group of little demons showed surprise and admiration on their faces.
They really didn't expect that the Painted Skin Demon, whom they always looked down upon, was actually so well-read.
The Painted Skin Demon tried hard to appear calm, but he was already feeling extremely happy inside.
In fact, the Painted Skin Demon didn't understand any of this and only learned it from Amiya, but the Flying Tiger Demon Lord and his subordinates were unaware of this situation.
After a few words of business exaggeration, Sekiro carefully considered Painted Skin Demon's explanation and suddenly said, "You just said that the transportation station also needs to pick up and drop off people passing by? It seems that the sponsor not only wants us to help gather battlefield intelligence, but also wants us to help them find a way out."
"Huh?"
The Painted Skin Demon was stunned when he heard this. He had not thought of this before, but after listening to what Sekiro said, he felt that this possibility could not be ruled out.
After pondering for a moment, the Flying Tiger Demon Lord felt that since the boss had given them a code name for the underground transportation station, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
The deep meaning of this is to let them think of ways and help find a way out.
Yes, that must be the case!
As for why they didn't say it explicitly, it was definitely because they didn't want to be exposed. Also, they wanted to use this as a topic to select smart demons and ferocious beasts to carry out this task.
After all, finding a way out does not depend on recklessness, but on meticulousness and intelligence.
We are undoubtedly such a group of meticulous and intelligent demons and beasts!
And given the generosity of the big boss, if he can really help them find a way out, the rewards will definitely be extremely generous!
The Flying Tiger Demon Lord and the little demons around him looked at each other and saw the gleam in each other's eyes.
Then, the Flying Tiger Demon Lord patted the thigh of the demon ghost next to him and said excitedly: "As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. We will accept this mission!"
Sekiro, Ji Taimei and other little demons responded one after another: "Please rest assured, sponsor, we will definitely complete this task properly!"
This is much easier than causing sabotage on the battlefield, and the rewards are higher. It would be a shame not to take it.
Only the little demon that was slapped on the thigh by the Flying Tiger Demon Lord was wailing and screaming, because its leg bone was broken...
At the same time, in the temple, Su Ye was curiously asking: "Brother, why did you give one of the monster teams the code name of the underground traffic team?"
"Well," Su Mu said with a smile, "because the Painted Skin Demon that contacted them had a good name."
Su Ye became more and more curious: "What is the name of that Painted Skin Demon?"
"It's called Jia..."
"Jia Gui?"
"No, my name is Jia Meiyan."
In fact, Su Mu had never thought of letting the demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts find a way to break out.
Because in his opinion, the best way to break out is to destroy all the monsters and beasts surrounding them...
At this time, it was not only the Flying Tiger Demon Lord and his family that were contacted.
All the demon lords that I had worked with before were found by the "headhunters".
Some of these demon lords chose to continue cooperating, while others temporarily cut off contact.
Even the demon lords who had broken off cooperation treated the headhunters well and did not harm them.
Is this because you are thinking that maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future?
More demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts were surprised at the cultivators' fighting style.
Although there have been cases of taking people’s heads from thousands of miles away in the past, those who could do this were all very powerful!
But as far as they knew, the cultivation bases of these cultivators who were sucked into the secret realm were very average. Most of them were at level one or even had not established a foundation. Only a few of them were at level four or five.
With this kind of strength, he can actually carry out long-range attacks in the eerie darkness?
And its power is so strong, no less than that of a fifth-level spell!
How did these cultivators do it?
After a wave of firepower, many demons and ferocious beasts that failed to find cover and hide in the first time were blown into the sky and shattered into pieces.
Before they could recover, a second wave came roaring in unison.
The great demon lords put up protective shields and shouted to their subordinates to come closer to them, wanting to use their shields to protect the demons and ferocious beasts as they rushed towards the distant temple.
In the eyes of these great demon lords, as long as they could rush to the vicinity of the temple under the artillery fire, they would be able to destroy that group of cultivators.
After all, there are so many demons, ghosts and ferocious beasts. Even if they pile up, they can kill the cultivators, right?
Besides, a cultivator’s long-range attack is powerful, so it’s impossible for him to be strong in close combat as well, right?
Moreover, the strength of this group of cultivators is limited. Even if they can rely on props to become strong for a while, they will definitely not be able to last long.
But when they really protected their men and rushed to the front of the temple, a blood moon suddenly appeared in the temple.
This blood-red moonlight immediately activated the statues, stone tablets and other objects around the temple!
