Chapter 192: Chapter 174: Baben’s Team: Princes and Generals, Can One Resist Asking for Votes (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

"Baben’s Team" makes their appearance!

The little demons of Amon Mountain were baffled though, finding this name quite strange and hard to pronounce. How could these two say it so smoothly?

"Hiss hiss, which mountain are you from, and what are you doing here?"

The green-speckled python hissed, underneath its robust exterior was a gentle girl’s voice, filled with caution.

In Little Demon’s view, the two guys in front of them—with black noses, big buckteeth, pot bellies, and slicked "oil head" hairstyles—definitely did not look like good "demons" at all!

And with their Great King captured, defenses would be slack. It was clearly illogical for two beavers to intrude into their territory at this time.

"Roar Roar"

"Gurgle Gurgle"

"Hehe"

Several little demons growled with bared teeth.

"Look, what are you doing? We, the Baben brothers, are merely passing through. No need to be nervous. Our king heard that in the south, our Devil Race is thriving, having captured many human cities. Therefore, inspired by admiration, he traveled thousands of miles hoping to join you guys. Do you have any connections?"

Benbo Erba’s chubby belly jiggled as he flashed his big teeth and spoke human tongue smoothly, almost like a sly military advisor. His goofy appearance contrasting his true form seemed quite comical.

Upon hearing this, the little demons of Amon Mountain realized they were demons from foreign lands, dreaming of serving those high-ranking Devil Race lords, revealing human-like complexity in their dim eyes. They then looked at the two beavers, and their hostility significantly decreased since they had harbored similar thoughts originally.

A black wolf emerged and took a few steps forward, showing anger in the green light, "You should... not go there, those Night Fox Clan guys, they don’t regard us... like their own, not letting us enter... enter the city. They despise us as wild beasts, killing us at will, our Great King almost died last night because someone murdered a member of the Night Fox Clan and couldn’t find the murderer, thus he was beaten out of anger. If they can’t find the murderer later, we’ll have the same fate, so whoever can escape should hurry."

Hearing this, Baben’s Team exchanged a human-like glance,

This seems different from what the adults thought!

"Let’s go back and report to the lord!"

Without saying goodbye, Benbo Erba and Babo Erben transformed into two round balls and rolled down the ravine in a "swoosh."

"Duang"

"Duang"

Bouncing a few times, they then disappeared into the shadows under the moonlight.

.......

Twenty miles west, at the edge of a low mountain by Flying Cliff, which is bare except for a few wildflowers and random trees in the crevices.

It was midnight, a time of yin and yang transition; dew was gradually thickening in the mountains, bringing a hint of chilly air.

On Flying Cliff, Chen Yuan, who came out alone from Guang’an Prefecture, stood under a short tree, hands behind his back, gazing towards the east, his eyes twinkling with broken gold.

At that moment, a dewdrop condensed on a leaf, dropped, and upon reaching three feet above his head, it abruptly evaporated into a mist and vanished.

Just then, from three directions in the mountain woods below, near and far, noises arose and branches shook.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan directly jumped from the hundred-meter-high Flying Cliff down to the forest below, landing on a branch.

Shortly after, from his left side of the woods, a surge of gray fog appeared, followed swiftly by a figure two yards tall with a bear head and human body darting out from the fog and quickly moving to kneel under Chen Yuan’s tree.

"Lord!"

As it appeared, a wild figure was seen under the moonlight on the right side, leaping quickly among the tree branches, swiftly approaching from a tree tens of meters away, revealing a woman dressed in black leather, with pointed ears and a cat tail swaying in the air.

"Jiuming pays respects to the lord!" Cat Demon Jiuming also approached and kneeled on one knee as a greeting.

A few moments later, from the middle woodland, a round shadow bounced from afar, perfectly avoiding the forest’s obstacles. As it got closer, the large round meatball split in mid-air into two figures, landing "thump thump" on the ground, revealing two chubby beavers.

"Benbo Erba"

"Babo Erben"

"Paying respects to the lord"

The two beavers gestured a salute in a proper manner.

Then, after about half a cup of tea time, green bird Ji Rufeng, Deer Demon as fast as fire, Pig Demon Zhu Ziqing,,,, gathered here under Chen Yuan’s command.

Compared to six months ago, these Contracted Demons, originally of low Cultivation, mostly in the First Realm and freshly sentient with untamed natures, have seen a vast improvement in intelligence and rapid increase in strength after Chen Yuan’s Imperial Decree and naming. Especially when they were traveling from Xiongtian Pass to Jingguan City, Chen Yuan cooked the flesh of the Heavenly Pass Demon for them in an old temple, this Treasure Meat allowed his Contracted Demons to break through in a very short time.

Now, all twelve Contracted Demons are in the Second Realm and above. Black Bear Xiong Da, Pig Demon Zhu Ziqing, and Cat Demon Jiuming have all stepped into the Third Realm Body Mystery, gaining significant combat power.

Right now, Chen Yuan leaves Guang’an Prefecture deep at night, obviously not just to take his group of Contracted Demons for a leisurely ride. From what Colonel Xie Tianhao from the original Tenth Mountain said, when the Ten Thousand Mountain Demon Clan attacks a city, they would conscript local Devil Race. This tiny piece of information was keenly caught by Chen Yuan, which for him was a breakthrough.

He was already familiar with disguising himself as a Demon, so tonight he hurried to the area outside Jiang’an County with the plan for his Contracted Demons to search for the whereabouts of local Demon Crowds and inquire about recent situations concerning Demons in Jiang’an County. Or go further, possibly finding a way for his Little demon subordinates to infiltrate Jiang’an County to gather more intelligence and then decide how to act.

This was what Chen Yuan thought, not rashly going to Jiang’an County himself, opting to be cautious.

Upon seeing everyone gathered, he looked at his group of Little demons, sweeping his gaze over them, and spoke faintly:

"Who has any news? Did you find the local Demon Crowd?"

"Sir, your subordinate found a Jackal Demon fifty miles to the southwest. They were looking for the murderer who killed a prominent member of the Fox Clan in the city last night. Upon pressing for information, I learned that they refer to the Demons in the city as Lord of the Fox Clan; they resemble humans, have green skin, and last night, two Demons were killed twenty miles outside the Eastern City in the woods. Those Demons in the city then gathered nearby Little demons to hunt down the murderer. They seem very frightened; they are still searching after so long."

The Cat Demon Jiuming was the first to speak, his voice interspersed with meows now and then; his eyes were a lush green.

"Those two were killed by my men; this need not concern us." Chen Yuan jumped down from a tree, landing on the soft, fallen branches and leaves, took a few steps forward, and the ground crackled beneath his feet.

As he walked, his gaze flickered, his mind swirling, "Fox Clan, green-skinned, humanoid, that must be the Night Fox Clan mentioned by Xie Tianhao, the Hu Yan Mountain among the six mountains, and it seems Jiang’an County has been marked as their territory."

Then he asked, "Did you ask clearly, how many Demons are there in Jiang’an County, or perhaps how many Heavenly Pass Demons?"

"That Jackal knew very little; the Fox Clan inside the city seems to have little connection with these outsiders," the Cat Demon shook its head.

At this moment, Benbo Erba’s voice rang out, "Sir, the two of us found a group; those guys said the Night Fox Clan inside the city looks down on them, they can’t even enter the city, and because of last night’s incident, they even killed their leader out of anger; these few guys are thinking of fleeing."

"Sir, we also encountered pretty much the same situation. Among them, it seems as if the Fox Clan inside the city has marked them..."

"......"

The group of Contracted Demons started chirping and agreeing.

"Hmm?" Chen Yuan honestly was somewhat surprised, thinking from the information gotten, he assumed everyone was a Demon, condoned in the corruption, gathering collectively, that he could gather useful news from this or find a breakthrough. But now it seems, Demons also have their divisions; the Night Fox Clan from the Ten Thousand Mountains looks down upon these beastly Cultivation counterparts because of last night’s incident, even took anger out on the nearby Little demons, killing quite a few, hence these Little demons are in panic, wanting yet not daring to flee.

Interesting!

Since this approach was a dead-end, why not take the opposite approach?

His eyes sparkled, quickly contemplating the feasibility of his plan, opening his mouth, "Go back, persuade these Little demons,"

Pausing for a moment, then the corner of his eyes lifting into a slight smile, he said:

"Incite them, let them rebel against the city’s Demons!"

"Hehe, I, the King of Tiger Jump Gorge, will back them up."

"Remember, whatever way can incite these guys’ emotions, you’re free to improvise."

"In any case, tonight, this mountain forest must become chaotic!"

Upon hearing this, the intelligence of the group of demons greatly increased, quickly understanding their master’s intention.

To fan the flames!

This they were familiar with.

"Yes!"

Given the order, the Contracted Demons responded in unison, then scattered, fleeing in three different directions.

As the leaves rustled loudly and rapidly receded.

.......

Half a cup of tea time later, Amon Mountain, still that same canyon, that cave.

"Baba... Baben, che, why have you come again?"

A deep voice grumbling a few times, finally cursing angrily, looking at the two hefty beavers at the entrance of the cave.

The 黑狼 (black wolf) and the just-mentioned Little demons stared at Benbo Erba and Bo Ben.

As the "Baben’s Team", those small eyes whirling, righteously indignant says:

"Gentlemen, we brothers just now saw our King."

"We told our King about your misfortunes, our King was extremely enraged."

"Why should they, the Demon Clan from Ten Thousand Mountains, occupy the city and enjoy human pleasures, while we are merely at their beck and call, looked down upon, living in this damp cave? This place should be our territory; they are the outsiders. Gentlemen, I see each of you bearing a fierce look, all worthy of being Demon Kings, how can you be resigned?"

"Gentlemen, have you heard a human saying?"

"Princes and generals, are they born different?"
