A Wrong Turn into Pansi Cave (Twelve)

Meanwhile, a group of Demon Horde were gathered by Ao Tu, preparing to attack Spirit Mountain.

In addition to the hundreds of Demon King and demon generals, Ao Tu also ordered the selection of 30,000 strong and capable Little Demon from among the ten to serve as Demon Soldier.

When the order was issued, some of the Little Demon who were good at fighting rushed to be selected; others who were not good at fighting dared not participate.

Ao Tu then promised them that as long as they made meritorious contributions in battle, they could Attaining Buddhahood Buddhas or immortals and live forever.

The Demon King, upon hearing this, all assumed it was Ao Tu's encouragement to the Little Demon and did not take it seriously.

They had all been Great King before, so they naturally knew how to get the Little Demon to work hard.

But what Ao Tu said was actually the truth.

As long as these Little Demon are loyal and make meritorious contributions, even if they die in the great formation, Ao Tu will collect their Little Demon True Spirit into the Soul-Scattering Gourd or the Purple-Gold Red Gourd. No matter which Gourd it is, whether good or evil, it can at least guarantee that they will become gods and live forever.

For these ordinary little Demon with no connections, this is definitely a pretty good way out.

However, the Little Demon were generally not very shrewd. Many of them didn't even bother to distinguish between truth and falsehood, let alone understand the reasons behind it. They simply believed the promises made by the three Great King in public and eagerly rushed to participate.

On the other side, in the Yellow Flower Temple.

After Ao Tu and the Many-Eyed Monster ascended to heaven, they left behind several Spider Demon to guard the Daoist temple.

The Spider Demon ' days in the Daoist temple were truly unbearable.

Almost every day, the diet consisted of unchanging vegetarian dishes. Even when there was meat, it was just stir-fried vegetables and eggs with lard, and that was considered meat. Or perhaps they would catch a pheasant or a rabbit; a few Spider Demon were hardly enough to feed them.

Fortunately, the Many-Eyed Monster finally returned from the Heaven at this moment.

The Spider Demon fled back to Pansi Ridge as if they were fleeing.

The Second Sister rubbed her shrunken belly and said, "Thank goodness the Elder Brother came back. If I had stayed in the Daoist temple any longer, I wouldn't have been able to spin any more Spider Silk!"

The Third Sister spat out a strand of silk from her navel and showed it to her sisters, saying, "Look, my Spider Silk isn't shiny anymore; it breaks as soon as you pull it."

The eldest sister said, "Let's go back and have the children catch some good game for us."

The Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister were all delighted to hear this.

Only the Little Spider Demon demon weakly Earthly Way, "I think I'll pass. I think eating something light is fine."

Upon hearing this, the Second Sister teased, "Seventh sister doesn't want to eat anything light, she wants to eat your Demon Dragon Older Brother, doesn't she?"

The Little Spider Demon blushed immediately after being told that.

The Third Sister chuckled and chimed in, "Don't say that. Maybe my little sister just wants to eat vegetarian food?"

The Fourth Sister was more pragmatic, Earthly Way calmly, "We are Spider Demon; we won't have strength if we don't eat meat."

Upon hearing this, the Little Spider Demon lowered its head deeply.

Actually, her stomach was quite empty, and she really wanted to eat meat.

The eldest sister then spoke up, "Alright, you lot, stop bullying Seventh Sister. What Seventh Sister said isn't wrong. That Demon Dragon is now a force to be reckoned with in the Three Realms, extremely powerful. Our Elder Brother has already pledged allegiance to him, and will be our protector from now on. Since we've joined his side, we must abide by the rules. From now on, don't eat people indiscriminately. Eat the tigers, leopards, wolves, and insects in the mountains. If you're really craving something, don't just go down the mountain to catch someone to eat. Try to lure a bad person up here, so you have a pretext for eating them, at least you'll have some dignity."

The sisters, though somewhat disappointed, all agreed.

The Little Spider Demon demon was overjoyed to see this.

At this moment, the eldest sister said, "Seventh sister, there's something I need to tell you beforehand."

The Little Spider Demon asked, "What are your orders, Big Sister?"

The older sister looked at the somewhat naive Little Spider Demon, sighed, reached out and pulled her into her arms, gently patting her head.

The Little Spider Demon was her youngest sister, so she naturally received more care and attention, making her more innocent than her other sisters.

However, the Little Spider Demon had grown up by this time, only two heads shorter than her. There were some things she had to say in advance, lest her youngest sister suffer in the future.

The eldest sister said, "Seventh sister, we all know what you're thinking. But some people are simply too high a goal to reach. If you force it, you'll only suffer the consequences. How does that White Bone Spirit compare to you in looks? Although she's Corpse Demon Incarnation, her yin energy is purer than ours, and after her transformation, she's even more stunningly beautiful. Even so, she still didn't succeed, did she?"

The Little Spider Demon felt a sense of unease upon hearing this.

The Second Sister said, "Among the seven of us, if we're talking about looks, the eldest sister is actually the most beautiful. She has remained chaste for many years, but he hasn't shown any interest in her. I originally thought he liked my innocent and cute younger sister, but it didn't work out. I guess he's already seen someone better, and we don't suit his taste."

The Little Spider Demon whispered, "The Great King said he likes to cultivate himself from a young age, keeping a pure breath."

The Second Sister said, "My silly sister, how can Spider Demon be pure of breath? Have you ever seen a wolf that eats grass or a tiger that picks fruit?"

The Little Spider Demon opened her mouth but couldn't speak; she lowered her head to hide her tears.

These tears weren't from resentment, but from fear—fear that her Second Sister's words had actually come true.

Seeing that her seventh sister was acting strangely, the Third Sister quickly changed the subject, teasing the Second Sister, "Maybe she likes your flirtatious nature, why don't you give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Sister was so angry that she pinched the Third Sister's waist and said, "I'll take you with me to try it out, to make you dance a naked dance for someone!"

Are you going or not?

The two started laughing and joking.

The Little Spider Demon demon was on the verge of tears, but her Third Sister's interruption cheered her up considerably.

The group returned to Pansi Ridge.

After eating vegetarian food for many days, I can finally eat meat again.

The bee demons under her command gather nectar from a myriad of flowers, hunt cattle, sheep, deer, and roe deer in the mountains using Spiderweb, and even the human flesh that was smoked and cured in previous years. Although she said she would no longer eat people indiscriminately, since it had already been smoked, it wouldn't be good to waste it.

The Little Spider Demon ultimately refrained from eating human flesh, only consuming two deer and a tiger until her belly was round and full. Then she went back to digest, afraid that if she stayed, her sisters would tease her.

Ao Tu stayed in the city for about ten days.

The selection of 30,000 Demon Soldier is almost complete.

He doesn't need to worry about the remaining trivial matters.

There was one more thing to do: leave someone behind to guard the city, lest trouble arise in the city after the Demon King leave.

Ao Tu decided to let Six-Eared Macaque stay.

Six-Eared Macaque is loyal enough, strong enough, and has innate supernatural Supernatural Ability. He can hear everything and cannot be kept in the dark, making him the most suitable person to stay and guard the city.

However, at this moment, Red Boy took the initiative to come over and wanted to stay.

Ao Tu looked at the child. It had been a long time since he'd seen him, and he felt somewhat distant from him, speaking to him with utmost respect. So he beckoned the child to his side and asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared? You used to be fearless, but this time you dare not go into battle and instead want to stay behind?"

Red Boy sat beside Ao Tu, hesitated for a moment, and then revealed the truth. "Your Great King, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm afraid of encountering my father in the formation. If all my brothers are there, how can I hold back? But if I don't hold back, it would be unfilial. I'm truly in a dilemma."

Upon hearing this, Ao Tu laughed and said, "So that's what it is. You don't need to worry. In this battle, we will only fight the monks, not the Immortal of the Heavenly Realm. Even if the Immortal of the Heavenly Realm Lower Realm the mortal realm, we don't need to actually fight; I will handle it myself."

Red Boy was delighted to hear this, but then, remembering something, he asked, "Aren't you going to fight that Heavenly King Li either?"

(And there's more!)
