"Nail alone is not enough, we want to eat your hair! Give us all your hair and we will tell you about the blood curse." One of the heads shouted.
Prince Rui was unhappy, "How can this be possible? Wouldn't that make me bald?"
"Hair can grow again if it's lost. If you don't give us all your hair, there's no need to talk about this matter. Go find someone else!" The heads were firm in their attitude.
Prince Rui looked grim, but he finally chose to compromise. The main reason was that the Demon Realm was too big, and he didn't know how long it would take before he could encounter any monsters he could communicate with. Moreover, all these demons wanted was his hair. As long as Prince Rui ate more supplements, his hair would grow back in two or three days.
Prince Rui shaved off his long hair.
The demon heads told him in unison:
"Drink the blood of whoever cast the blood curse on you, and the curse will automatically break. Or you can drink the blood of someone of their own race."
"If you can't find a specific demon race, you can mix the blood of ninety-nine different demons together. You don't need much blood from each demon, just one drop. Combine their blood and drink it to break the demon blood curse."
"The Demon Insect Tribe lives in the jungle. Most of them are very weak, but they have a female majesty. This female majesty is very powerful, but she is in a deep sleep all year round. The monsters outside can sense the oppression coming from the female majesty, so they will not enter the forest."
"Since Her Majesty is unconscious, the elders of the Demonic Insect Tribe rarely leave the forest. Oh, and they are particularly friendly to human cultivators because they believe that if they interact with humans more, they will be able to transform into human form."
"But this idea is simply fantastical. According to this logic, if they put insect eggs into a human stomach, would the babies that hatched all be human-shaped?"
"Alas, this is all I know about the Demonic Insect Tribe."
"No, I also know a little more news. The demon insects particularly like to eat leaves, especially leaves from the human world, hehe..."
"We're done. If there's anything else you want to know, remember to bring more hair next time. We're going to raise the price."
The heads divided up the hair in front of Prince Rui. Some of them even set their eyes on his nails and asked greedily, "Do you still want to know more? Give us your nails too."
"No." Prince Rui refused without hesitation.
"well……"
Most of the heads had expressions of disappointment on their faces.
"I'll give you a drop of blood. When your hair grows back, you can come and make a deal with us." A wound appeared on the face of a head. A drop of blood flowed out of the wound and slowly floated in front of Prince Rui.
"Thank you." Prince Rui accepted the drop of blood and walked around the swamp.
He thought to himself that the Demonic Insects had not lied to him. It seemed that this was the method to lift the Demonic Blood Curse. The name of the Demonic Blood Curse contained the word "blood", so it made sense that blood was needed to lift the curse. What he needed to do now was to find ninety-nine different kinds of monsters and use their blood to lift the curse.
No, he only needs to find ninety-eight more, because the demon tribe just gave him a drop of blood.
Prince Rui set out on his journey again.
…
In the swamp, heads made "Pah, Pah, Pah" sounds.
"It's so disgusting! To make it more realistic, we actually ate the hair he gave us. It was so disgusting."
"vomit--"
"You guys are so stupid! I rolled my hair into a ball and hid it in my mouth. Now it all came out with a simple spit. Did you really swallow it?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that there is such a good idea?"
"You didn't ask, and besides, we're all leaders, why are you so stupid?"
"Get lost, you're the fool!"
The heads made a noisy sound.
"Stop arguing! No matter how stupid someone is, they're no match for that human. We're demons, talking nonsense, and he's actually asking us questions. It's hilarious!"
"Yes, this is the demon world, not the human world. If he wasn't pregnant with insect eggs, we would have eaten him long ago. Why would we bother to play along with him?"
"Speaking of which, he was under the devil's blood curse. How dare those lunatics of the devil insect tribe put their offspring into the belly of such a person?"
"A madman doesn't consider the consequences of his actions. Those who can use the Demon Blood Curse must be the nobles and royals of the Demon Realm, and the Demon Insects are among the nobles. They are insidious and cunning, and love to lie. We weak races can only help to cover up the lies..."
"It's not our fault. This is the solution to the Demon Blood Curse that's been circulating in the Demon Realm. Everyone knows it's fake, but so what? We're not nobles, nor are we royalty. We don't know the true solution to the Demon Blood Curse."
"But lying is quite fun. Look how we fooled him. He even shaved his head bald. Haha."
…
Prince Rui, bald as a head, walked through the demon world for two days, collecting the blood of more than thirty different monsters. Later, he encountered a talking monster race. From the mouths of this monster race, he once again confirmed what the Demon Insect Clan and the Demon Head Clan had said. Prince Rui couldn't help but sigh at his own caution. He kept asking different demons to verify the same thing, but he overlooked one problem -
If all the demons were telling lies in unison, then what would be the point of him asking more demons?
No one would tell him the truth.
Moreover, some demons themselves do not know the truth.
In this way, Prince Rui spent several more days collecting the blood of ninety-nine kinds of monsters, and then endured the nausea and mixed the blood together and drank it.
"vomit……"
Prince Rui gulped down a bowl of warm water and ate a dozen sweet and sour fruits in one breath before he suppressed his nausea. It was really too hard to drink. Prince Rui was panting, not sure whether the magic blood curse on him had been lifted or not, because the magic blood curse was intermittent. When it attacked, black lines would appear on his face and body. After coming to the demon world, the magic blood curse calmed down and did not attack again. Prince Rui was also unsure of the pattern of the curse, so he came to the demon insect tribe again to inquire about the news from this group of talkative insects.
"Sir, you are back again!"
"Mister, I miss you so much~"
"Could you give us a little more blood?"
"Sir, are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"
The elders were very enthusiastic. They surrounded Prince Rui, asking him about his well-being. Some even reached out to touch Prince Rui's back, arms, and stomach, and said with concern: "Sir, haven't you been eating well recently? I feel like you've lost weight..."
Prince Rui got goosebumps all over his body and scolded, "Stand away and don't touch me!"
