Chapter 447 Night Demon Leader
The monster on the 999th floor of the Tower of Babel is actually the Night Demon!
However, this night demon was much larger than any they had seen before, and it exuded a powerful aura.
Moreover, this night demon, wearing a strangely shaped crown, sat lazily on a chair inlaid with jewels, resting its chin on one hand, watching them leisurely without any intention of attacking.
A sense of unease began to creep into everyone's minds.
Lu Cheng lowered his voice and said, "The monsters on this floor are actually Night Demons. Isn't this like finding a needle in a haystack without any effort at all?"
Originally, because of the newly added rule, he thought he would never find the Heart of the Night Demon again, but unexpectedly, a new path opened up for him.
Qin Jiu's tone was pessimistic: "Is this a demonized Night Demon? Will it drop the Night Demon Heart after it dies?"
Not all monsters in the Tower of Babel will drop resources upon death. Some monsters will not drop any resources at all, and only a few specific monsters will drop resources.
The resources they drop have one thing in common: they can be used to extract demonic energy.
Will this Night Demon also drop supplies?
Is the loot it dropped the Night Demon Heart?
Fei Qiu's concern, however, was: "This Night Demon is not easy to deal with."
This was the first time he had ever felt such a powerful aura emanating from a Night Demon.
Meng Qingyin remained silent, staring at the Night Demon sitting on the jeweled chair, who in turn looked at her with interest.
"Are you here to kill me?" Night Demon suddenly asked.
Compared to its ugly appearance, its voice is quite pleasant.
But it surprised everyone.
"Holy crap, you can actually talk?" Lu Cheng stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The Night Demon looked at him and said cryptically, "Your acupuncture technique is quite good."
Lu Cheng frowned.
The acupuncture technique is quite good?
Could it be referring to the pear blossom needle?
But how did this night demon know he had the Pear Blossom Needle?
Moreover, where did the conclusion that the acupuncture technique was good come from?
Night Demon then looked at Meng Qingyin and blurted out, "You have a lot of courage."
His tone was filled with undisguised admiration.
No one understood what he meant.
Why is this Night Demon speaking in such a friendly tone?
Qin Jiu asked Meng Qingyin somewhat uncertainly, "Have you... met before?"
After asking her, she shook her head, thinking it was impossible.
My own question is really quite funny.
“I’ve never seen it before,” Meng Qingyin shook her head, looking at the Night Demon, “but… it should have seen us before.”
Qin Jiu was even more confused, "Huh?"
"Do you know about every battle we fought against the Night Demon?" Meng Qingyin asked.
The night demon just said she was "very courageous".
If she wasn't mistaken, she was referring to the time she killed a Night Demon during her beginner phase.
And since it said that Lu Cheng's acupuncture skills were good, it means that it clearly knows about the Night Demon and every battle they have fought.
The Night Demon suddenly stood up, and a sense of oppression washed over them.
It slowly approached Meng Qingyin step by step, knelt down on one knee in front of her, and said in a devout and submissive tone: "You have finally come."
This development was even more unexpected, leaving the group stunned and speechless.
Only Meng Qingyin continued to ask, "Why are you waiting for me?"
The Night Demon's gaze was filled with fervor, his eyes brimming with tears: "You are the 'chosen one' who will lead my people in resisting the war against the alien races! I have been waiting for you here for a thousand years!"
A person destined by fate?
A war between alien races?
Everyone was completely confused.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but ask, "What alien war? Aren't there only humans here?"
Night Demon ignored him, only staring at Meng Qingyin with fervor.
It slowly removed the crown from its head, presented it to Meng Qingyin, and bowed respectfully, saying, "The chosen one, my Night Demon clan is willing to follow you forever!"
Meng Qingyin then realized that the crown was actually shaped like the heart of a night demon.
She didn't reach out to take the crown, but instead asked, "How can you be so sure I'm the 'chosen one' you're talking about?"
Night Demon kept her head down, her tone incredibly certain: "God's will says that the 'chosen one' will one day find me, and she will guess that I know every battle between her and Night Demon."
“As the leader of the Night Demon race, I can share the perspective and memories of any Night Demon—a secret known only to the Night Demon race. And since you've guessed this, I'm absolutely certain that you are the ‘Chosen One’!”
To conclude that she is a "person of destiny" based solely on this is rather hasty, isn't it?
Meng Qingyin ultimately didn't say those words aloud.
Regardless of whether she is ultimately the "chosen one," she must be one now!
“I know you may think this is too hasty,” the Night Demon leader said suddenly, as if he knew what she was thinking, “but please believe in the will of God. It is God who is guiding you in the dark. You are the ‘chosen one,’ there is no doubt about it!”
Meng Qingyin was curious about the "god" it mentioned. Could it be those deities?
"And who is this god you're talking about?"
When the god was mentioned, the Night Demon's tone became even more respectful. "That is the god who protects our Night Demon race. Since the birth of the Night Demon race, the god has been protecting our race. It is because of the existence of the god that the Night Demon race has been able to grow and prosper."
Meng Qingyin felt that its statement was somewhat strangely familiar.
A god who protects the Night Demon race?
【Pheasant】The pheasant god that we often talk about... seems to be like that too?
Chicken God, Night Demon God...
Could it be...?
Meng Qingyin's eyes flickered slightly. Was all of this related to the white fox?
Meng Qingyin didn't dwell on it for the moment. She glanced at the crown shaped like the Heart of the Night Demon and asked, "If I accept this crown, will I become the leader of the Night Demons?"
Night Demon Leader: "Yes, all Night Demons will obey your orders unconditionally, and I am willing to serve you faithfully."
"What if I want the Heart of the Night Demon?" Meng Qingyin asked.
Without any hesitation, the Night Demon leader declared, "We are willing to offer our hearts!"
"The Heart of the Night Demon is actually your heart?" Lu Cheng couldn't help but ask.
The Night Demon leader still ignored him.
Lu Cheng: "..." Why are you treating people differently based on their status?
Meng Qingyin said in a deep voice, "They are all my friends, and I hope you can respect them."
The Night Demon leader nodded in agreement: "As long as you are willing to lead our people, we will also treat your friends as honored guests."
Meng Qingyin was still in no hurry to accept the crown.
She understood the principle that "if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
Accepting the crown meant that she agreed to become the leader of the Night Demons.
Sitting in that position inevitably comes with corresponding responsibilities.
The Night Demon leader just mentioned the war between the alien races. If she goes there, won't she just be sending herself to their deaths?
This crown is indeed tempting, but it's also incredibly hot to handle.
