"You two..."
Lu Fei turned to his two companions and asked, "Does any other demon know about our innate talents, apart from us?"
The Little Pig Demon, Red Pi, immediately shook his head, "No."
Crow Demon: "I also told Grey Skin..."
Lu Fei was somewhat skeptical, "Only one?"
Crow Demon: "Just one."
Lu Fei: "That's okay then, we'll slaughter him in a couple of days. But in the future, you must learn to keep your mouth shut. This is a matter of your life's safety..."
Upon hearing Lu Fei's serious tone,
The Crow Demon immediately nodded, "I won't do it again in the future…"
Lu Fei nodded, said nothing further, and turned towards the direction of the stone cave.
Thanks to the feast from last night, he wouldn't be hungry today.
"Snowy, where are you going?"
Seeing Lu Fei leaving, the Crow Demon immediately called out, "We still have to go on patrol, don't we?"
"Patrol, what patrol?"
Lu Fei stopped and cheerfully said, "Didn't you just hear what Bear Leader said? Duties like patrolling and guarding are no longer my responsibility..."
The Crow Demon opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Really?"
He then looked at the Pig Demon, Red Pi, who nodded and said, "Yes, you just didn't hear it."
"Patrol well."
Lu Fei said, waving his hand dismissively, then proceeded to stride towards the cave.
The Crow Demon watched Lu Fei's departing figure with envy, "Snowy has it easy from now on."
Pig Demon Red Pi: "Hmm..."
Crow Demon: "I feel like Snowy has changed a lot these days, I never knew he could count numbers..."
Red Pi: "Hmm..."
Crow Demon: "What if we made Snowy our big brother? Like Bear Leader and Tiger Leader and LeaderNiu...What do you think?"
At the sound of this, Red Pi turned to the Crow Demon with a surprised expression, "Haven't we always done that?"
"Always done that?"
Crow Demon was stunned for a moment, then stomped his foot and exclaimed, "When did I acknowledge Snowy to be my big brother?"
"I only acknowledged him as my big brother because he is now stronger than us, after getting Bear Leader's points..."
Watching Red Pi walk away, the Crow Demon immediately remembered something and quickly ran after him shouting, "Wait, when did you acknowledge Snowy as your big brother?"
"How come I didn't know?"
"Wait for me!"
...
Two days later.
Early morning.
As dawn was beginning to break.
Inside the cave.
Lu Fei woke up from the icy cold stone bed, and turned his head to see the day outside the cave, his mind slightly stirred.
Swish, swish, swish...
A series of virtual data glowing with faint white light began to emerge before his eyes.
[Host: Lu Fei]
[Realm: Level 1 Demon Soldier (76/100)]
[Experience: 72/200]
[Soul Power: None]
[Cultivation Technique: Demon Clan Breathing Skills (Proficiency) (32/500)]
[Abilities: Spear Skills (Beginner) (26/100); Archery (Beginner) (13/100); Fish Spear Skills (Beginner) (15/100)]
[Divine Skills: None]
[Innate Talent: Sky Wolf Swallowing the Moon (Beginner) (7/100)]
[...]
"Eh, it's still a bit short..."
Looking at the data behind the Realm section, Lu Fei sighed a bit in his heart.
For the past two days, without the annoyance of things like patrolling the mountain, he had been deeply engaged in meditation and breathing exercises. Coupled with the boost from the Fish Demon meat he had eaten before, he had managed to earn seventy-six experience points.
If he had another ten days...no, just seven or eight days would be enough. He should be able to max out his experience points and break through to the level of a level one Demon Soldier.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to achieve this before the battle with Snake Coil Mountain.
He then looked at the rest of his stats.
His Demon Breathing Skills have also risen a bit.
Also, his Spear Skills and Archery skills in the ability column had increased quite a bit due to the little demons' training initiated by the leaders on the last day before the battle with Snake Coil Mountain.
He continued scanning down.
Looking at his innate talent, "Sky Wolf Swallowing the Moon" listed in his talent column, Lu Fei fell silent for a moment.
Ever since he came to this world,
He had not used this talent even once. As for the talent value listed, it should have been cultivated by the original owner of this body.
The reason he hadn't used it casually was because he realized this valuable talent could potentially expose him.
He wanted to wait until he became stronger, or when his living conditions got better.
At least he wished to have a place of his own, rather than living with these two who snored loud enough to kill mosquitoes.
Only then would he feel safe to cultivate.
Otherwise, if he decided to train using his talent now, he would have to run out every night to cultivate under the moonlight, sneaking back in before the moonlight faded.
The back and forth, coupled with the time running, and the need to avoid other demons' eyes, all for the slight increase in his breathing cultivation,
would be too much trouble.
So, Lu Fei simply decided not to use it, he would wait until conditions are better.
"Dang..."
Just then, a familiar, piercing and resonant gong sounded once again outside the stone cave.
Moreover, the gong was sounded much earlier and more urgently than ever before.
"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdang..."
The abrupt and urgent gong that seemed like it could rouse the soul woke up Crow Demon and Red Pi Pig Demon, interrupting their snores.
Looking confused, Crow Demon glanced outside the stone cave, asking bewilderedly, "Why so early today..."
However, no one responded to him.
Because Lu Fei and Red Pi Pig Demon had already rolled off the bed, grabbing the newly-issued short bow and spear by their bedsides, and raced out of the cave.
Watching the disappearing backs of his companions,
it was only then the Crow Demon finally realized what was happening, and exclaimed in a high-pitched voice, "Wait for me..."
When Lu Fei and the two demons quickly arrived at the usual assembly point on the mountain.
They saw the other eight minor leaders at the same level as the Bear leader, the two Great Commanders, and standing at the highest point of the mountain, the Mountain King of Rolling Mountain, all dressed in armor.
Furthermore, Lu Fei saw a flag fluttering on the mountain top for the first time.
The flag was black with three large embroidered red characters written diagonally across it: "Rolling Mountain".
The little demons assembled quickly.
Before long, all the little demons appeared at the foot of the mountain, congregating under their respective leaders.
Lu Fei took the opportunity to look around, noting that apart from the king, the Great Commanders and the minor leaders who were wearing armor,
Several little demons were also armored up.
Some of them were wearing only half of the armor whether upper or lower, and the armors were terribly rusted and worn.
Some other little demons had unprocessed leather armor tied around them, and like Lu Fei, adorned various items on their chests and other major parts for cover.
The rest of the little demons, however, were basically bare-chested, with leaves and branches around their waists.
Some didn't even bother to cover, relying solely on their fur.
"Move out..."
Having gathered all the little demons, the Wild Buffalo Demon King said without any preamble, waved his hand, and threw out a handkerchief.
The handkerchief swelled in the wind.
Grew quickly enough to cover the entire mountaintop.
Then, it fell down.
All Lu Fei saw was darkness in front of his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.
When he regained his senses and opened his eyes,
he saw a large group of demon beasts with snake tails and human heads holding weapons, gathered at the foot of the mountain in front of him.
