Soon, the world at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain changed.
The humans who had been hunting were now neatly bound.
A group of little demons, clean and fluffy from being washed, stood with their hands on their hips, heads held high, smugly supervising the work.
The captured wealthy merchant and his group of strange and unusual people, all covered in dust and dirt, were laboriously carrying wood and stones.
"Hey you fatso over there! Yes, you! Hurry up!"
The little squirrel stood on a tall tree stump, holding a pine cone in its two front paws, and pointed at the wealthy merchant's nose, squirming.
"I want a huge treehouse! The kind that can be hung with all my pine cones! You all better put some effort into it!"
The wealthy merchant was so angry that his face turned green. He had so much wealth and was always surrounded by people wherever he went. When had he ever been treated like this?
But when he looked up, he saw a small orange cat lying lazily on the highest branch of the tree not far away, its amber eyes staring blankly down.
If anyone is even a fraction of a second slower, the little orange cat will gently swat its paw.
A golden light pierced through the air, harmless but striking the lazy person's buttocks with pinpoint accuracy, causing a burning pain.
We can't afford to mess with them, we really can't afford to mess with them!
The wealthy merchant could only grit his teeth and move a boulder taller than himself toward the designated spot.
"These stones! Yes! Lay them up nicely!"
The little fox, with its bushy tail held high, directed several extraordinary individuals.
"I want the most luxurious stone house! The kind that's warm in winter and cool in summer! Once it's built, I'll bring my parents, brothers, and sisters to live here! We foxes want to live in big houses and enjoy a life of luxury, just like you humans!"
The little rabbit spirit and the little weasel spirit next to them also started chattering away.
"My den must be dug underground, and the entrance must be hidden!"
"I want to build a small dock by the river so it will be easier to catch fish in the future!"
These little demons, who had once been hiding and starving, were experiencing what it was like to be a supervisor for the first time. They were all focused and attentive, afraid that these humans would cut corners.
Exhausted and covered in sweat, Qian Fushang put down the stone and quietly approached a man wielding a sword.
The swordsman lowered his voice and said, panting heavily, "Lord Qian, don't worry, I have already used a secret method to send a message to the desolate mountains."
"Once the people of the desolate mountains learn that demons are causing chaos and harming the people in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, they will surely send experts to wipe out these monsters in one fell swoop!"
A glimmer of hope flashed in the wealthy businessman's eyes, and he nodded heavily.
With great effort, he picked up another stone in front of him and, gritting his teeth, piled it over.
Just wait, you beasts! When the messenger of the desolate mountain arrives, it will be your death day!
Days passed by like this.
During this period, a number of so-called "righteous men" and "wise men" came one after another to rescue the wealthy merchant Qian after hearing the news.
Without exception, they were all arrested and became glorious construction workers.
With an increasing workforce, the project is progressing faster and faster.
A few days later, Yu Luo's first private cabin was completed.
The cabin wasn't large, but it was exquisite and comfortable, with soft hay and animal hides laid out inside. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, making it warm and cozy.
Yu Luo jumped in with satisfaction, found the most comfortable spot, curled up comfortably, couldn't help but yawn, and stretched in the warm sunlight.
These days are really good.
But the next second, she jolted awake and instantly became clear-headed.
no!
We can't just give up like this!
She shook her head, a hint of seriousness flashing in her amber cat-like eyes.
That mountain god of the desolate mountain is extremely powerful!
According to the little demons, that mountain god was extremely powerful and very unfriendly to demons.
Although he has some skills now, if the opponent is an even more powerful figure who brings a large number of people to attack, he and these little demons alone probably won't be able to withstand it.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
We must go and find out the truth about that mountain god!
She immediately jumped out of the wooden house and summoned all the little demon leaders over.
When the little demons heard that she was going on an adventure in the desolate mountains, they were all terrified.
"Cat God! No!" The little fox was so anxious that its tail fur stood on end.
"That desolate mountain is a den of dragons and tigers! What if you go there and get caught by that evil god?"
"Yes, yes! We can't live without you!" The little squirrel stamped its feet anxiously.
Yu Luo shook her head calmly.
"rest assured."
She raised her paw and pointed to the faintly visible golden light barrier in the distance.
"That formation outside can't stop me."
"If we want to stay in this Beast Mountain for a long time and make a name for ourselves, we must figure out what kind of background that mountain god has."
Seeing that the little demons still looked worried, Yu Luo thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
She found a tabby cat that was similar in size and fur color to herself and had it lie on the tree branch where she usually stayed, pretending to be her.
Then, Yu Luo stretched out her paw and gently patted the tabby cat's paw a few times.
Several barely perceptible golden rays instantly merged into the tabby cat's body.
“I’ve invested my power in this cat.”
Yu Luo explained to the demons.
"As long as someone resists or there is an invasion by foreign enemies, these golden lights will be automatically triggered to protect you."
The little demons were then somewhat relieved.
Having arranged everything, Yu Luo no longer hesitated.
She walked proudly and confidently towards the outside of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
The tiny figure flashed a few times and silently passed through the golden light barrier that trapped everyone, arriving in the village outside.
Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, several villagers were chatting together.
"Hey, have you heard? Things haven't been peaceful at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain lately!" an old man said in a low voice.
“It’s more than just unsettling!” another woman immediately chimed in, her face filled with terror. “My neighbor’s third son went into the mountains to chop firewood a few days ago and hasn’t come back yet!”
"I heard that a man-eating demon has come to the mountains! It has a blue face and fangs, and can swallow a person whole in one gulp!"
"Really? That's terrifying?"
"It's absolutely true! Many hunters and herb gatherers who went in never returned! Their remains were never found!"
Nearby, a child was crying loudly. His mother immediately put on a stern face and pointed in the direction of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to scare him.
"If you cry again! If you cry again, I'll throw you into the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts!"
"Let that great demon capture you and devour you whole!"
Upon hearing this, the child stopped crying abruptly, his face turned deathly pale, his big eyes filled with terror, and he covered his mouth tightly, not daring to even sob anymore.
Yu Luo, hiding in the shadows: "..."
She looked down at her furry orange paws and then licked her pink paw pads.
A man-eating demon?
Blue-faced and fanged?
Are you talking about me?
