"The thirty-third, the thirty-fourth..."
Grey Skin Rat Demon was still laboriously counting the arrows on the ground under both the watchful eyes of the mob of Little Demons and the attention of the Bear leader.
"Go for it, White Hair..."
At the back of the crowd of demons, Crow Demon was watching the show-off Grey Skin Rat Demon and couldn't help but spoke up.
"No hurry, let's wait a bit..."
Looking at the Rat Demon in the crowd of demons who was working hard counting the arrows, Lu Fei softly replied.
If he wanted to replace the Rat Demon to count for the Bear leader, he would inevitably offend the Rat Demon.
Of course, he was not afraid of the Rat Demon.
Although self-recommendation by stepping on others to gain a higher rank is considered unethical in human society.
But in the savage, cruel, violent Demon Clan world where the survival of the fittest prevails, it's nothing unusual.
Furthermore, doing so could capture the maximum attention of the Bear leader and other Demons.
However, it's important to have the right method for stepping on others to rise.
So Lu Fei, who already knew about the capabilities of the Rat Demon, was calm and waiting for the right moment.
At this very moment,
"Ahh..."
A wretched and miserable scream suddenly reverberated around the entire hilltop.
Lu Fei immediately turned his head towards the direction of the scream and saw a Tiger Demon, armored and with a human and a tiger head, whose head suddenly enlarged and quickly opened its wide mouth biting off the head of a Pig Demon.
Lu Fei witnessed this sight.
The other Little Demons, who all turned their heads at once, also caught sight of this horribly bloody scene.
One by one, their expressions became more tense.
If the Bear leader was here to collect the task, so were the other leaders.
That particular Tiger Demon was obviously a leader too, and Lu Fei assumed that the Pig Demon had not completed its task.
By the King's order, under usual circumstances, leaders are not allowed to kill or eat the Little Demons under them randomly.
Otherwise, the Little Demons would have been wiped out by them long ago.
But if any Little Demon failed to complete a task or violated any order, they would not be protected.
However, every time tasks were being handed in, there were always some unlucky Little Demons who were taken advantage of by the leaders and were executed or eaten.
Although the Demons had grown used to seeing these sights,
Every time they witnessed such a scene, they couldn't help but fear that they might be next.
"Heh..."
At this moment, the Bear leader turned towards the crowd of Little Demons before him and gave a cruel smile, sending chills down the Little Demons' spines.
The smell of blood could stir primal urges.
Lu Fei assumed that after seeing the Tiger Demon's actions, the Bear Demon was also harboring malicious thoughts.
With this in mind,
Lu Fei immediately decided to make a name for himself to increase his importance.
This way, even if the Bear leader wanted to taste a Little Demon, his attention wouldn't turn to Lu Fei.
This way he wouldn't be doomed before he could grow stronger.
"Continue counting..."
Upon seeing the Rat Demon pause, the Bear leader barked.
"Yes, yes..."
The Rat Demon, Grey Skin, quickly nodded in agreement but when he looked at the arrows in front of him, he stood there stunned as he had forgotten where he left off.
He was always a half-wit, but now he was even more flustered.
The Rat Demon's face was filled with desperation.
Even though he knew that the Bear leader couldn't count, he dared not shout random numbers for fear that the Bear leader remembered the number he had already counted.
If the numbers did not match, he might end up just like the Pig Demon he just saw, losing his head.
"Hmm...?"
Noticing that the Rat Demon in front of him was off, the Bear leader immediately let out a questioning sound.
"I don't care..."
Hearing the Bear leader's voice, the Rat Demon's heart trembled and was just about to risk saying a random number when
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice resounded.
"Leader, can I count for him...?"
At this moment, Lu Fei's voice suddenly rang out.
The Bear leader and the crowd of Little Demons immediately turned their heads and simultaneously looked at Lu Fei who had spoken.
Lu Fei pushed the Little Demon in front of him aside, stepped forward, and then publicly gave the Bear leader the courtesy seen in historic drama series on TV, the salutation of pressing one's hands together in a salute.
Facing Lu Fei's salutation,
The Bear Demon, who had never seen such a spectacle before, was stunned.
However, he had lived for over a hundred years and had seen quite a bit in his lifetime, and immediately remembered that only humans or some Immortals in the celestial world would greet each other in this way.
But what was the situation with this White Wolf Demon in front of him?
"Where did you learn this?"
The Bear leader quickly recovered and asked directly.
Lu Fei, who had anticipated this, immediately replied, "Leader, I learned this in my dreams."
"Learned it in dreams..."
Upon hearing such a response, the Bear leader's face contorted with confusion and his face became puzzled.
However, he had never been a nitpicker and if he couldn't figure something out, he just wouldn't bother.
Although what this Wolf Demon was saying sounded a bit mysterious.
"Can you count?"
The Bear leader frowned and asked again looking at the White Wolf Demon in front of him.
Lu Fei immediately nodded, "Yes, Leader."
"Then you tell me..."
The Bear leader pointed at the Rat Demon and said, "What number had he counted up to?"
Lu Fei: "He was on the thirty-eighth bow."
Upon hearing what Lu Fei had to say,
The Bear leader inexplicably felt that this White Wolf Demon surely knew his numbers. He was capable, as he sounded more comfortable than the "first bow, second bow" counted by Grey Skin Rat Demon.
The Bear leader realized at this point that the Rat Demon must have forgotten where he left off.
So he pointed at the Rat Demon and coldly said, "You tell me, where did you leave off?"
Upon hearing this, the Rat Demon immediately understood the Bear leader's intention to replace him and his face turned pale with panic; however, he really had forgotten where he left off.
He was about to repeat the same number that the White Wolf Demon just said, but he looked up and saw the playful look in his eyes.
The Rat Demon immediately lost the courage to call out the number. After all, compared to lying to the leader, forgetting where he left off seemed less serious.
So he admitted honestly, "Leader, I was interrupted and forgot to count..."
Before he could finish,
"Thud..."
The Gray-haired Rat Demon was suddenly thrown out and directly hit a tree trunk.
"Useless creature..."
The Bear leader swung his paw to hit the Rat Demon and then looked at Lu Fei, "What's your name?"
He had an impression of this White Wolf Demon, but he didn't know his name.
On hearing the leader ask for his name, Lu Fei was about to say the name he had thought about carefully, but when it came to his mouth, he honestly said, "Leader, I'm called White Hair."
He had just shown his uniqueness to the Bear Demon in front of him and also for the future.
For the rest, it's better to stay low-key.
After all, he was currently too weak.
Changing his name could be done later.
The Bear leader nodded and while looking at the White Wolf Demon in front of him, he said, "You will be the one counting from now on..."
"Don't make any mistakes, or else I will make you regret stepping forward."
Looking at the ferocious glare in the Bear Demon's blood-red eyes, Lu Fei immediately bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Leader..."
