As soon as the spotted python finished speaking, its eyes rolled back and its huge body collapsed. Xia Changan hurried forward to check and found that he had actually broken his heart meridian.
Xia Changan sighed helplessly. Why did these monsters always seek death? She just wanted to have a casual talk with them. Why was this necessary?
Because the human coalition forces acted quickly, they had already slaughtered all the monsters stranded in Zhongzhou. Therefore, the death of the spotted python meant that the coalition forces' plan to eliminate the monsters had been completed.
There was no longer any demon beast in the Zhongzhou area. Logically, such a result was a common thing for humans. But for no reason, Xia Changan felt uneasy. It seemed that something big was about to happen.
In contrast to the humans who were overjoyed after winning a battle, the monsters, which had suffered heavy losses, were now in a state of gloom and despair.
In a magnificent palace in the Northern Wilderness, the king of the demon beast group was sitting. All previous demon kings were from the Golden Winged Tiger Clan. This demon king was named Yao Li, and naturally he was no exception.
Yao Li, who had transformed into a human form, sat on the throne angrily, frowning as he listened to his men reporting on the battle situation of the invasion of Zhongzhou.
A burly man knelt under the throne, suppressing his fear and reporting with a trembling voice: "Reporting to His Majesty the Demon King, the invasion of Zhongzhou has failed, and the Emperor Wu Barrier has been repaired by a mysterious person. The men stranded in Zhongzhou have lost contact with us for a long time. I dare to guess that they may have been... annihilated."
"Assholes! Is this what you and I promised, that you will take over Zhongzhou? You are such a bunch of trash!" Yao Li could no longer hide his anger and started cursing.
After cursing, he seemed to still not feel relieved, and he actually picked up the candlestick next to him and smashed it hard at the man kneeling below.
The man was forced by the demon king's majesty and didn't dare to dodge at all. He could only grit his teeth and endure it. Although the demon king was furious, he still had some rationality and didn't use his spiritual power when throwing the candlestick.
But even so, the blow still caused the man's head to be broken and blood was flowing. Thanks to the powerful defense of the monster, he was not killed.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. This saying is so appropriate when applied to monsters.
The man was hit, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe the bright red blood that had flowed down his cheek and onto his neck.
But Yao Li's mood didn't seem to improve at all. He turned around and picked up the candlestick on the other side, raising his hand to smash it at the unlucky guy again.
The kneeling man was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly, his heart was dead, and he felt that his life as a beast had come to an end.
Just as the candlestick in Yao Li's hand was about to smash out, a gentle voice came in time.
"Wait a minute, my brother! If your subordinates don't do their job well, just teach them a lesson. Why make yourself so angry? Just let your subordinates handle this kind of thing. Don't get yourself so angry."
Yao Li heard the sound and looked around, only to see a gentle and elegant young man, whose body was not as strong as the other monsters after they transformed, stepping into the hall and walking slowly towards him.
This person is Yao Li's younger brother, the young prince Yao He of the monster group, known as Prince He. He is one of the few people in the clan who can speak in front of the Monster King.
Seeing Yaohe, Yao Li's expression eased a little, but he was still angry.
He snorted and shouted in a deep voice: "My brother is right. There is really no need for me to bother with such a thing. Come! Drag this unlucky thing out of the city and throw him into the dungeon to lock him up for half a month. Be careful not to let his dirty blood stain my land."
The man kneeling on the ground turned pale, but he ignored the blood on his forehead and kowtowed to express his gratitude. The dungeon was not a safe place, and he would be exhausted after being there for half a month.
But compared to losing a layer of skin and being beaten to death on the spot by the tyrannical demon king, he would naturally choose the former.
There is a popular saying among the monster clan: the heart is cruel and crazy, the nature is kind and gentle. This saying refers to the brothers Monster King and Prince He.
Although they were born from the same mother, they are very different in appearance and personality. The relationship between these two brothers is surprisingly close.
Yao Li always has a cold and ruthless face of a tyrant when he meets everyone, but as long as Yao He appears, he will be much more restrained.
According to the legend in the tribe, it was because when Yao Li was a child, he accidentally hurt Yao He, causing him to suffer from a lifelong illness. That's why Yao Li treated Yao He differently.
Although they found it hard to believe that a sadistic man who killed people for no reason would feel guilty, it was more reliable than asking them to believe that this sadistic man still had family affection in his mind.
The man was gratefully carried to the dungeon. Only Yao Li and Yao He were left in the hall.
Yao Li calmed down and said, "My brother, what do you think about this? The Emperor Wu Barrier has been repaired by those shameless humans. Our only passage to Zhongzhou has been cut off again. But I am unwilling to give up. Do you have any ideas?"
Yaohe frowned, shook his head and replied, "Don't listen to what my king said. I can't make a decision on this matter. In fact, although the land in the Northern Wasteland is desolate and food is scarce, it can still meet our needs so far. We don't actually need to fight to the death with the Central Plains. With the Emperor Wu's barrier, on the other hand, it also protects the weak in the tribe. It's not a bad thing to live in peace in a corner. My king, why don't you stop here."
Yaohe's words were very sincere, and it was obvious that he really hoped that his people could live a good life. But Yaohe didn't think so.
He raised his eyelids and said in a dignified manner: "What do you know? Why can they humans occupy such a large piece of high-quality land, while we can only hide in this remote and desolate place where there is no chicken shit or bird eggs? Aren't they just relying on that broken wall to protect them? I will destroy that wall and let the iron hooves of our monsters flatten all the cities of mankind!"
As Yao Li spoke, a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes, making him look like a terrifying beast that was selecting its prey.
This made Yaohe's heart skip a beat and he thought to himself, "This is not right."
He hastily dissuaded him, "Brother Wang, you must not be impulsive! The monsters have lived in the Northern Wilderness for thousands of years, and haven't they prospered for ten years? Although the Northern Wilderness is a bit desolate, it is definitely not a remote and poor place. Moreover, over the past thousands of years, there have been fewer fights with humans, and the number of innocent deaths has dropped sharply. Isn't this a trivial matter? Brother Wang, I dare to advise you not to continue to be aggressive. As a member of the royal family, it is your responsibility to ensure that your people live and work in peace and contentment."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, he caused Yao Li's displeasure. He angrily scolded: "You are a warmongerer! I didn't expect that my brother, whom I have loved for so many years, would have such an evaluation of me! I have my own decision on this matter, so don't mention it again."
