I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue passed through the wall and saw a larger version of "Piggy," his eyes narrowed, six hands patting his belly, looking very satisfied.

Luckily, Li Yue had already collected the Demon Chef Piggy, so he didn't panic when he saw a bigger one.

Demon Chefs usually have pig faces and human bodies. Piggy still retained the form of a pig because he hadn't reached maturity yet; while the one in front of him had a large pig head and a strong body, two of his six hands were moving, one holding a kitchen knife, and the other arm was cut off, leaving only the elbow, but there was no blood. The wound was decorated with a few hard pieces of meat, the kind that Mini and Minnie often ate.

At the same time, the pig head's exposed skin was covered with various patches: tree bark, vegetable peel, fish skin, looking like he had tasted all kinds of delicacies, extremely distorted.

Demon Chefs have different forms in different demon territories. The ones in the Demon King's City look like this—they are good at chaotic cuisine, devouring and analyzing the attributes of raw materials, and then digesting them to make dishes.

As for the method of making them… it is obviously to cut off some part of their body and serve the finished product directly.

Their chaotic cuisine can impart all kinds of flavors and effects, depending on their own magic power and the ingredients of the raw materials; habitually, once they encounter something new, Demon Chefs must taste it, and their intestines will wriggle violently during digestion, and their abdomen will be like a balloon filled with water.

At this moment, the pig head in front of him was just tasting, not yet at the stage of digestion; at the same time, the "weakness" of the Demon Chefs was also in their stomachs.

Li Yue confronted the pig head, and the dining cart automatically returned to its corner after entering, stacked with its companions.

Besides the corner where the dining carts were piled, most of the space was occupied by a huge flat chopping board and several deep trash cans—the pungent smell Li Yue had smelled before came from here, as if brewing some kind of poisonous substance, and thick smoke constantly churned out of the cans, slightly obscuring the outline of the pig's ears.

Li Yue stared at the pig head quietly and said, "Spit it out."

"Huh…?" Demon Chefs' reactions are usually not very fast. Seeing a skeleton in a place like the back kitchen is also very baffling.

"What… spit what out?" Obviously, this one in front of him didn't have a good memory either.

"My egg, give it back to me."

[Malice +333]

"You've come to the wrong place, haven't you? How can there be a skeleton soldier… oh no, that's not right… not a skeleton soldier…" The Demon Chef saw the bone sword in Li Yue's hand and immediately sensed the difference in status, changing his tone.

"Uh… you are… uh… a big, big shot?" The Demon Chef began to stammer, "You, you've come to the wrong place, haven't you? The, the restaurant is in front. To, today's main dish is spider meat stewed with vegetable hearts… all, all the freshest 'vegetable' hearts, ne, newly picked, there are six…"

Li Yue probably understood where the vegetables came from, mourned in his heart, stared at the pig head's muttering mouth, and felt it was difficult to communicate with this guy.

"We also specially removed the tear glands from the vegetables to add a hint of sourness and texture to the entire dish…" The Demon Chef was still introducing.

Before Li Yue could take action, he saw the pig head's blood vessels swell and burst instantly, first turning blue and then white, and then the entire huge body visibly shriveled down, like a piece of meat that had been drained of some element in an instant.

"Bang!" The pig head fell on the chopping board, heavy and completely unconscious.

Li Yue hadn't figured out what was going on when he suddenly realized that the Demon Chef's state was rapidly changing from "weak" to "dying," and then completely dead.

He didn't have time to reveal more malice, and no materials precipitated—he was dead.

"Friend, help me dissect him, I'm here, here." Egg's voice.

Tiny particles drilled out of the pig head's eye sockets, nostrils, ears, and mouth, turning the pig head's corpse over and pointing to the slightly bulging belly.

Li Yue seemed to understand what had happened—the Demon Chef was just… sucked to death by Egg?

"Here, cut here…" The particles moved on the slightly bulging belly, marking the area where Li Yue should cut.

Li Yue felt quite helpless, but he still used the bone sword to cut open the pig head's belly and took out Egg—the egg was covered in blood, and the blood was flowing on the eggshell in a certain pattern, like some kind of totem.

"Who eats who?" Egg sucked the blood clean and said quietly, "Sorry, I couldn't resist. This friend has many rare elements on him, although the amount is not very large, but it is also very delicious, thank you."

Egg ate everything clean, grateful for the food, but Li Yue didn't expect the pig head to be his "friend" too.

"You damn… messed up my plan…" Li Yue said regretfully—originally, Li Yue's plan was to talk to the person in charge of the Demon Kitchen, ask for some scraps of materials, and also take the opportunity to request an increase in the supply of food and water to the library…

This Egg sucked the pig head dry as soon as they met, so how could he make a request?

"As I said, this friend invited me into his body, so I must fulfill his good intentions." Egg said quite seriously, "As for serious business… I can help you find it together."

As he spoke, Egg rolled on the ground.

"No need, I've already found it." Li Yue had been sensing this place since he entered, and almost at the same time as the pig head fell, he found a secret room through several deeper door seams, guessing it should be a storage room or something.

Li Yue took Egg to a wall, pointed the tip of his sword at the wall, and raised his left hand towards the pig head's corpse.

"Locked." Egg also discovered that the brick seams on all sides of this wall were too large, and tiny particles extended into it, encountering a magic lock.

"Friend, I'll help you smash it open." Egg didn't understand magic. To make up for his recklessness just now, he decided to help Li Yue smash the door.

"No, friend, please." Li Yue tore off a string of keys from the pig head's corpse with his mind, "There is something in this world called a key."

Egg didn't respond, but he wasn't too happy.

Li Yue ignored it and quickly tried them all, found the correct key and opened the wall.

There were several rows of shelves in the secret room, with all kinds of ingredients stored on the shelves, used as side dishes for all kinds of chaotic cuisine; Li Yue was dazzled for a while, and his mind quickly extended, searching for the target.

Combining some introductions in magic potion books, Li Yue roughly identified the Demon Bat Wings, Syntis Snails, and Spotted Gecko Feces, but some ingredients were too close, and it was impossible to accurately distinguish them based on the knowledge in the books alone.

What to do? Of course, take them all back.

However, transportation was a problem—it was just a pity that Yingying had not left the Gate of Chaos since listening to the "Advancement Studies" last time, focusing on learning and catching up with Li Yue.

So before coming, Li Yue only asked Lulu and Feifei to help make a large sack. Facing the materials on these rows of large shelves… he immediately looked embarrassed.

"Did you find it?" Egg saw Li Yue's hesitation.

"Almost, but I still need someone to help." As he spoke, Li Yue raised his bone sword and summoned the wronged souls of this place—Li Yue had already sensed many resentments through the bone sword when he came in. Although they were not very powerful, could he call them to help carry things?

A cold wind rose in the back kitchen, and the unowned wronged souls from the realm of the dead appeared under the command of the bone sword, subconsciously going to tear Egg—the wronged souls were summoned by Li Yue's "Undead Lament."

Egg was dumbfounded.

"Friend, is your sword so magical? No wonder it can sting me…" Egg used particles to touch the floating wronged souls, but failed.

"I need Demon Bat Wings, Syntis Snails, Spotted Gecko Feces…" Li Yue ordered the wronged souls, and a large part of the wronged souls in the air instantly dispersed. Only a few vague shadows pointed out the exact locations of the three materials after a round of whispering.

Li Yue didn't hesitate anymore, stuffed the three materials into his ribs, and wrapped the rest in sacks, stuffing as much as he could—Li Yue had stolen things as soon as he came to the Demon King's City, and at this moment he could only say that he was returning to his old ways, feeling that it was a waste to use so many materials for side dishes.

"My servants… help me carry them together…" It was of course difficult for Li Yue to telekinetically carry so many materials alone, so he immediately ordered the wronged souls to help carry things.

The wronged souls faded away instantly—the effect of "Undead Lament" ended, and Li Yue couldn't use them as coolies.

"That's okay, just one bag first…" Li Yue carried a sack, although his aura became a little wretched, he was full of harvest.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Yue suddenly saw another pig head outside the secret room.

"You… stealing vegetables?" The pig head brightly revealed a kitchen knife.
