It seemed that Crow Demon had never seen White Furred Wolf in such a state before, so it immediately shook its head, "Except for the two of you, I haven't told anyone."
Lu Fei then let go of Crow Demon, saying, "That's good, now don't mention it again..."
Before he could finish,
"The king has called a meeting, what are you three dawdling for?"
A fierce voice suddenly rang out.
The three demons were startled and immediately turned around, only to see a huge, burly beast with the head of a bear and the body of a man standing at a nearby fork in the road, staring at them with menacing eyes, "Looking to get whipped, are you?"
Saying so, Bear Leader took the black whip from his waist and lashed it fiercely.
"Snap..."
A spark exploded amid the loud, piercing sound of the whip.
Lu Fei, Crow Demon, and Little Pig Demon Red Pi immediately turned pale and hurriedly said they dare not, then quickly ran towards the direction of Great King Mountain Cave.
They sprinted breathlessly until they couldn't see Bear Leader's figure anymore, rushing towards the mountain path not far from Great King Mountain Cave.
Watching numerous bizarre-looking demons converging towards Great King Cave.
Only then did Lu Fei and the three little demons slow down their pace.
"That was close..."
Crow Demon finally understood fear, and promptly started patting his chest.
If it weren't for White Furred Wolf covering his mouth just now, he might have continued speaking and Bear Leader could have heard him.
The stronger the power, the more sensitive the senses.
Framing the big leader and the king would definitely lead to execution once discovered.
Yet, Crow Demon, having heard the secret, wanted to share it, wanted to speak out, wanted to show off in front of others.
He would carelessly let slip words that should not be said.
And he often regretted it afterward, but he couldn't help himself once the atmosphere got to him.
"White Furred..."
Crow Demon looked at his companion, White Furred Wolf, who was noticeably different today, and started to speak again.
"Shut up!"
Lu Fei glared at Crow Demon and said, "Whatever it is, we can talk about it when we get back."
"Oh..."
The more Lu Fei said this, the more things Crow Demon had in his heart to speak about, but he knew better. Having just been scared badly by Bear Leader, he dared not speak much now.
Beside them, Little Pig Demon Red Pi, carrying a yellow gourd, kept turning his head to look at his companion, White Furred Wolf; he also noticed something different about him today.
Yet what was different, he couldn't quite articulate.
For a moment.
The three little demons fell silent and followed the other demons toward Great King Mountain Cave.
Half an hour later.
The three little demons appeared on a winding mountain path.
Crow Demon's face was abuzz with excitement, "I told you so..."
"I was just saying, the King..."
He had just started speaking when Crow Demon, having learned his lesson, quickly covered his mouth, carefully looking around before continuing, "I was just saying we're going to fight with Snake Coil Mountain..."
"Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"
Little Pig Demon Red Pi suddenly interjected.
Crow Demon paused, then replied, "I haven't experienced it, but it should be dangerous, yet that's a good thing."
"Only through fighting can we achieve merit; only with merit can the king reward us with treasures and food... That's how we can progress faster in strength and have a chance to become as powerful as Bear Leader..."
The two little demons conversed, asking and answering.
Lu Fei listened silently all the way, his expression still somewhat distracted.
Crow Demon saw this and couldn't help asking, "White Furred, why aren't you talking?"
Lu Fei snapped back to reality and casually said, "Let's hurry up, if we're late, we'll only get soup."
With that reminder from Lu Fei.
The two little demons immediately reacted, Crow Demon even cried out, "Hurry up..."
"If we're late, we'll go hungry again..."
He promptly sprinted forward.
That's when Little Pig Demon Red Pi displayed his unexpectedly quick reflexes.
At Lu Fei's reminder, he had already dashed out, moving even faster than Crow Demon.
Watching the two demons race for food.
Lu Fei couldn't help but feel despondent.
Rolling Mountain provided only one meal a day for low-level demons, and going hungry was the norm.
So, at the lunch time.
The low-level demons were always the most active.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
The feeling of hunger in his belly prevented Lu Fei from thinking further as he watched the two little demons dash far ahead.
He had no choice but to earnestly run forward.
Before long.
When the three little demons, along with a few other trailing demons, arrived at the usual open-air dining area, a spacious woodland clearing.
Instead, they saw several barrels lying haphazardly, one even spinning around, with their bottoms licked clean.
And the surrounding lot of creatures who had finished eating or were still eating, laughing and watching.
Every day, there were always quite a few unlucky ones who went hungry.
"What should we do?"
Little Pig Demon Red Pi turned to Crow Demon and Lu Fei and asked.
"For now, let's go back to sleep..."
After a quick spin of his tiny eyes, Crow Demon whispered, "We'll think of something else tonight..."
In such situations, they would definitely have to fend for themselves and find their own food.
Very soon.
The three little demons split up.
Crow Demon and Little Pig Demon Red Pi went back to their dwellings to sleep, since sleeping kept them from feeling hungry.
However, Lu Fei had to continue his patrol work for the day.
His mind was filled with memories from his original body owner.
Following the remembered route, Lu Fei continued his patrol.
Before long, he dived into a dense thicket of overgrown weeds and brambles.
Then, impatiently, he summoned something from within his body.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
Pale white luminescent virtual characters began to appear before him.
[Host: Lu Fei]
[Realm: Level One Demon Soldier (33/100)]
[Cultivation Technique: Demon Breathing Skills (Beginner) (12/100)]
[Abilities: Spear Skills (Beginner) (18/100); Archery (Beginner) (6/100)]
[Divine Skills: None]
[Innate Talent: Sky Wolf Swallowing the Moon (Beginner) (7/100)]
[Soul Power: None]
[...]
Looking at the ink-like virtual characters in front of him.
Lu Fei's eyes widened.
This must be his golden finger.
He had sensed it while listening to the meeting at Great King Mountain.
But it was only now that he had the time to summon it.
Looking at the virtual panel in front of him, combining it with the memories from his original body, Lu Fei thought to himself.
The "Realm" section on the panel was easy to understand, representing the current strength of his White Wolf Demon body.
Level One Demon Soldier, meaning he was one of the lowest-level little demons on the mountain.
Beneath the Realm section, the "Cultivation Technique" listing "Demon Breathing Skills" was the cultivation technique Bear Leader had taught the original body owner after he awakened his intelligence, transformed into a demon, and joined Rolling Mountain under the King.
This was the technique all the lower-level demons on the mountain practiced. What cultivation techniques the higher-level leaders practiced, Lu Fei did not know.
The "Abilities" section listing "Spear Skills" and "Archery" were self-explanatory.
Below that was "Divine Skills," which Lu Fei guessed could be understood as a kind of skill or spell.
However, as one of the lowest-level little demons, his original body owner clearly hadn't mastered any divine skills yet.
Below that was the "Innate Talent" section.
This was also easy to understand. Every demon that could awaken intelligence and transform successfully would definitely grasp a native innate talent.
Like Crow Demon's ears that could hear very far, or Little Pig Demon Red Pi's bristles that were exceptionally hard and sharp.
The innate talent of Lu Fei's body was to assist in cultivation, allowing him to cultivate faster during full moon nights.
As for the "Soul Power" section at the bottom of the panel.
Lu Fei really didn't understand it.
But there was time to figure that out later.
Thinking this.
Lu Fei looked around and found that this was a great place to slack off.
He immediately lost interest in continuing his patrol.
So he found a more comfortable spot.
Then, following the meditation methods he remembered from his original body owner, he sat cross-legged on the ground, formed a mudra with his hands, pressed his tongue to his palate, and half-closed his eyes... and began the Demon Breathing Skills.
Time slowly passed.
As the orb in the sky dipped westward and the light dimmed.
Lu Fei awoke from his meditation.
He looked up, peered outside, scanned around, and seeing no other demons,
He grabbed his spear and crawled out of the thicket.
Stretching lazily and dusting off his backside, he then shouldered the spear and walked forward.
