I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The walls were bare, offering little room for maneuvering. Lee Read made a decisive decision, using some demon points to open a template slot and crafting a simple skeleton frame with Self-Healing Bone, somewhat resembling the initial tray skeleton. 【】

So ordinary, yet so arrogant.

With the template complete, Lee Read summoned two skeletons, one forward and one backward, each with their own script and lines—Lee Read had exhausted all his acting talent for the sake of the materials needed for the soul contract.

First, the one in front, with an arrogant gait and a slight clicking of its teeth, carried a sack and looked cheerfully lively. It took a few steps to the crossroads guarded by the skeleton squad, first throwing the sack far down the corridor on the other side, then looking at the pile of bones on the ground and giggling.

"Don't sleep! Get up and party!" the skeleton gesticulated. "A demon chef stole ingredients and ran away, go chase him!"

The pile of bones reassembled into a five-skeleton squad with a clatter. The leading captain scratched his head, looking bewildered: "Why would a demon chef steal ingredients?"

"Who the hell knows? I saw it! It's in that direction! Hurry! If you're late, you won't get anything to eat!" The skeleton pointed in the opposite direction from Lee Read.

Hearing that there were materials to eat, the skeleton squad immediately perked up, lining up in a row with a clatter, and followed the skeleton to the opposite corner.

"By the way, you look familiar… Which corridor are you from?" While running, the skeleton captain asked about Lee Read's origins.

The prototype of Lee Read's template was the initial tray skeleton, so it could be said that he had met the skeleton captain once before. It was not strange that he looked familiar now.

However, for some reason, the skeleton did not answer, but suddenly stood still, pointing to the sack not far away, repeatedly saying the same phrase: "Hurry up and chase, we'll share the food when we catch up; hurry up and chase…"

As he spoke, the skeleton fell apart, becoming an inconspicuous pile of bones on the side of the corridor—Lee Read had no time to answer the skeleton captain, because at the same time, another scene was unfolding, and Lee Read could not multitask to that extent.

"Oh? Chef Overseer Sir? Why are you out here?" Lee Read asked while controlling the second skeleton, while guessing the situation near the armor—judging from the voice, besides the armor, there should be two demons, a pig-headed demon chef and the demon chef overseer.

What Lee Read didn't expect was that the chef overseer's language was different from the demon chef's. One used the demon common language, and the other used pig noises.

"You… saw it?" It turned out that the chef overseer didn't not know how to speak the demon common language, but was just too anxious just now, so he spoke pig language. "The restaurant's guests are waiting, how dare it run away with the side dishes?"

The chef overseer still knew his subordinates very well. Although the evidence and witnesses were all present, he didn't quite believe that there would be infighting in the kitchen.

"I saw it, our elite skeleton squad is chasing it!" This skeleton was also gesticulating in the same way, "We'll take it and eat it when we catch up…"

At the same time, Lee Read's main body had already put on a set of Skollrik's armor, holding Egg, and took advantage of the fact that no one was guarding to run towards the library.

Before running, the "Completion" blessing took effect, and Lee Read successively transformed into a demon wolf warrior, Shadow, and Buddybog, eliminating his body odor and leaving no tail.

Lee Read's response was very quick, and the arrangement was very simple, playing on a time difference—while slightly delaying the chef overseer's pace, he led away the skeleton squad guarding the corridor, taking the opportunity to restore "Skollrik's" identity and swagger back to the library.

As for the two Self-Healing Bone skeletons… Lee Read didn't think they could survive, but being able to escape in a short time was already not easy, and there was really no way to take care of everything.

"Take it and eat it? Okay, listen to you." The chef overseer was naturally unwilling for the skeletons to eat his "side dishes", and directly swallowed the skeleton Lee Read had just summoned, and then led the pig head to the route Lee Read expected them to take.

A pig twice the size of Pigo walked out of the corner where the vault was located, muttering in its mouth: "Skeletons with incomplete teeth actually want to eat my old pig's dishes…"

But as he chewed, the chef overseer realized something was wrong: "Huh? This taste? So fresh. I've never eaten this kind of bone before… Very fresh, with a… baby taste…"

The chef overseer kept walking, muttering and turning the corner, while the pig head next to him drooled, seemingly also wanting to taste the Self-Healing Bone.

Passing by the place where Lee Read's main body had just been, the chef overseer only felt the taste was complex, but how could he piece together such a complex truth in a short time, and subconsciously chased after the place where the skeleton captain was.

When the chef overseer met the skeleton squad, both sides stared at each other, guessing that they were looking for the same fugitive, but neither knew where the pig head was.

"Where did it go?" The chef overseer was undoubtedly the highest-ranking person here, and automatically started shouting.

The skeleton squad captain was also frightened by the pig's aura, holding a tattered sack in his hand and handing it over: "There are no traces, only this was found…"

The chef overseer smelled it and immediately realized that the smell on the sack did indeed come from the demon kitchen's ingredients. Among the remaining smells, the strongest were two unfamiliar auras that he had never smelled before.

But since Lee Read had transformed several times in the middle to hide his body odor, even if the chef overseer's sense of smell was sensitive, he couldn't judge Lee Read's escape route at this moment.

"Huh… Can't catch it… It doesn't matter huh… If I smell it again, it will definitely not be able to escape." The chef overseer arched his pig nose. "This time, let it go. At least it has inspired a new dish for me, which should satisfy the guests' 'tastes'…"

As he spoke, the chef overseer suddenly stood on his two hind legs, tearing off a pig's foot from the elbow of his right hand—the pig's foot's fat layer flowed with golden oil, and the pig bones inside were inlaid with fine bone fragments, and its color was actually seven or eight points similar to the Self-Healing Bone!

"Golden Oil Big Pig's Foot!" The chef overseer hummed the name of the dish, put the pig's foot in his mouth and smacked it twice, seeming very satisfied with the taste, limping and hopping away, when he suddenly saw the second Self-Healing Bone left here, smelled it, and seemed thoughtful.

"It's it, it said the fugitive escaped from here." The skeleton squad captain dared not hide anything and pointed to the pile of bones on the ground.

The chef overseer's elbow had already grown flesh buds. He stared at the pile of bones for a moment, then swallowed it in one bite: "Huh, right, that's the taste… One house of side dishes for a new product, a big profit…"

"You lost the person, send me three more skeletons tomorrow to eat." Before leaving, the chef overseer hummed lightly to the skeleton squads, "They must be fresh, the kind I just ate, a stunning taste."

"Yes, Chef Overseer Sir…" The skeleton squad trembled and planned the list of sacrifices, thinking that they might have to dissect two from the vegetable field.

At this moment, Lee Read had already walked out of the chef overseers' sight and was about to arrive at the library—this short adventure had its twists and turns, but it was safe and sound. At least it had completed the initial purpose and understood more about the real ecology of Demon King City.

The demon kitchen provides food and water to various areas, and also sets up restaurants to entertain some "big shots"; the chef overseer is a pig, and the demon chef's family are all pigs, gluttonous pigs.

If I lack materials in the future, I can try the demon kitchen again… Lee Read temporarily retained this dangerous idea.

Pushing the door open, the short journey ended. Lee Read took out the demon bat wings, Syntis snail, and tiger-striped gecko feces from the skeleton, recalling the ritual steps of the soul contract.

"Brother, you're back!" Lulu realized for the first time that Lee Read had returned so quickly after leaving.

"I'm sorry, I originally wanted to bring you some food back, but it was all eaten by this guy." Lee Read hugged Lulu and Fei Fei.

"It's good that brother can come back!" Lulu stretched out her arms and hugged tightly.

"I'm sorry, friend, you didn't take a bath today." Lee Read punished Egg.

Egg didn't say anything, but it did grow a little bigger—it really absorbed a lot of nutrition on this trip.

Although according to Mentuo… these are all junk food, but junk food is better because it's delicious—Egg thought, looking forward to Mentuo bringing something good to "eat" at tonight's "promotion study".

And Lee Read only looked forward to tomorrow morning—tomorrow, when it's green, will be the time when the library changes hands.
