I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The foundation for the "Heavily Armored Hunk" transformation… is inseparable from the application of the "Brain Spirit Pituitary Gland."

After obtaining the "Brain Spirit Pituitary Gland," Li Yue discovered that the "Self-Healing Bone," as a sensory object, still had room for further optimization because, one morning, Lulu hugged him and said,

"Brother, you've gotten fatter."

Lulu and Feifei were the demons who paid the most attention to Li Yue himself; even the slightest changes couldn't escape their eyes. And they said this when Li Yue was turning the "Brain Spirit Pituitary Gland" into his sensory object for the first day.

At the time, Li Yue reconfirmed the differences between the skeleton on his body and the template, and he shockingly discovered that the Self-Healing Bone he had been wearing… was actually slowly growing?

It was becoming thicker and more resilient.

Li Yue didn't understand at all how the hormones in the Brain Spirit Pituitary Gland were transmitted to the Self-Healing Bone, but whether it was the effect of magic or the connection of the binding threads, this result was good news for Li Yue.

It was just that Li Yue was in a hurry to take Budibog to participate in the Slaughter Cup at the time, so he temporarily gave up tackling this problem. Now that he had time to think, of course, he had to explore all possibilities.

Under the effect of the "Brain Spirit Pituitary Gland," the density and shape of the Self-Healing Bone can be edited with greater freedom through the Demon Blueprints.

With denser bones, in addition to the increased sturdiness of the skeleton itself, Li Yue could completely create some crazier and more powerful Demon Blueprint creations without worrying about them falling apart.

Of course, the cost would also be higher—this is also why Li Yue considered increasing the density of the Self-Healing Bone only after completing the "Unrestrained Bony Trendy Man."

Design first, then compress costs.

It's like Li Yue without the "Brain Spirit Pituitary Gland" could also make a dinosaur skeleton, but it would just be an empty shell, unable to even stand; but now, as long as the density of the Self-Healing Bone is increased, it might be possible to make the dinosaur run, jump, and kill.

Of course, Li Yue didn't plan to use the dinosaur form against the Werewolf family. First, the cost was too high, and second, the dinosaur's structure wasn't the optimal solution for dealing with Werewolves. This was a case of being flashy but impractical.

Although Li Yue hasn't yet included the Werewolves in the Demon Bestiary, based on Budibog's memories of the Werewolves, Li Yue at least knows that they are a group of fast-moving, cunning enemies who are excellent at group combat. Then, based on these obvious characteristics, the most important thing for the "Heavily Armored Hunk" is to maintain strong defense while adapting to all changes, able to "catch" the Werewolves and "kill" the Werewolves.

As for the Demon Relics possessed by the Werewolf family… that can be explored later—Li Yue decided to create the base first, and then add some extra seasonings based on the analysis of the Demon Bestiary.

Regarding the basic characteristics of the Werewolves, Li Yue felt that something mentioned in "Lost Biology," a type of shellfish called "Sea Butterfly" from the edge of the Sea of Death, was very valuable for reference.

Sea Butterflies usually act in groups, and are good at hunting schools of fish and prey that are dozens of times larger than themselves; and their hunting methods are also very particular, with few prey surviving their encirclement.

First of all, the outermost layer of the Sea Butterfly's shell is fleshy, seemingly soft, and usually gathers near a few reefs, embedding itself or swimming around, attracting unsuspecting predators; once a predator takes the bait, the Sea Butterflies will dance gracefully in the sea, and a crack will open in their hard shells, from which thin threads hidden in the water will be scattered, directly turning that area of water into a dead zone.

The thin threads can be called the Sea Butterfly's hands, or tongues, but in any case, they are very strong and difficult to break free from. On weekdays, when they encounter smaller prey, the Sea Butterflies will also use their tongues to directly grab them and eat them as snacks.

Back to those predators who are unfortunately trapped by the hard threads, they will undergo a change of roles at this time—because what awaits them is the tearing and biting of the Sea Butterflies' "wings."

Under the tearing and biting of the Sea Butterflies, the prey is turned into minced meat floating in the water, and then becomes the nutrients of the Sea Butterflies… From launching an attack to becoming prey, and then becoming the Sea Butterflies' excrement, it doesn't take even a quarter of an hour.

What Li Yue wants to learn from is the Sea Butterfly's tactics—whether it's covering the edges of the "wings" with Demon Wolf Teeth, or using binding threads to pull countless Demon Wolf Teeth, it's enough to turn a certain area into a dead zone.

Of course, Li Yue can skip the Sea Butterfly's shell's camouflage, and doesn't need to add flesh, because when encountering the Werewolf family, they are already meeting with weapons in the arena, so there's no need to lure the enemy.

Moreover, the Werewolf family must already know about the "Heavily Armored Hunk" and be prepared—a set of tactics can't be used twice, so this time it's necessary to innovate.

So Li Yue's first step is to use denser Self-Healing Bone to create a new shell for the Brain Spirits, the shell of the Sea Butterflies, to ensure survival first.

Thinking this, Li Yue exchanged for 1 unit of Self-Healing Bone, deleted the "Heavily Armored Hunk" in the Demon Blueprint, and then slowly compressed and fused the Self-Healing Bone into two Sea Butterfly "wings," even keeping the patterns consistent.

After the fusion was completed, Li Yue took out the two shells, each half a person tall, and without thinking, slashed them hard with the Bone Sword.

"Buzz!" The shell vibrated slightly, and a small piece of bone was chopped off, while the remaining impact seemed to be reduced by the patterns on the shell, without causing more impact.

Li Yue scratched his dreadlocks, and with a thought, took off his skull and placed it inside the two shells.

Closing the shells, Li Yue manipulated the Bone Sword with his thoughts, and then stabbed with all his strength!

This time, Li Yue, who was placed steadily in the two shells, didn't even feel the impact, only peace and tranquility.

"Not bad…" Li Yue couldn't hide his joy—the Sea Butterfly's shell obviously had a powerful shock absorption function, perhaps due to the patterns on the shell, it could not only be used as the main protective shell for the fourth Slaughter Cup, but even as a shield in the future?

Li Yue crawled out of the shell and put it back into the Demon Blueprint to continue adding to it.

The Trendy Man's head can be placed inside the shell, one is to stabilize the position of the Brain Spirit's main body in the shell, and two is that once the shell is breached or actively attacks, the octopus tentacles can still ensure the safety of the Brain Spirit's main body.

After that, it's just some detailed filling, such as adding two rows of "Demon Wolf Teeth" to the edge of the shell, such as stuffing the inside with bundles of binding threads—the binding threads are still wrapped with Demon Wolf Teeth, which is also the last step to complete the "dead zone."

Li Yue's basic idea is to replicate the scene of the "Sea Butterfly" hunting, and in the dance of death, complete a strangulation of the Werewolf family.

After completing the basic production of Template 3, Li Yue named it "Slaughter Sea Butterfly," waiting only to collect the Werewolf family before making fine-tuning before the war.

In terms of cost, a "Unrestrained Bony Trendy Man" with increased bone density requires the consumption of a complete unit of Self-Healing Bone, plus binding threads and tentacles, and the final consumption of Self-Healing Points is fixed at 6666; while a "Slaughter Sea Butterfly" includes two units of Self-Healing Bone, plus binding threads, Demon Wolf Teeth, and the head of the "Unrestrained Bony Trendy Man," its consumption even reaches an astonishing 7878.

61 "Slaughter Sea Butterflies"\n… is 520,000 malice…

Li Yue had previously conservatively estimated the daily malice output of the Brain Spirits, roughly guaranteeing at least 5000 or more, but now it seems… it's still too little.

At this rate, before the fourth Slaughter Cup, it would be good to gather 15 "Slaughter Sea Butterflies," the scale is only a quarter, and the dead zone is not big enough…

Damn, I need malice—Li Yue almost subconsciously opened both "Abominable" and "Notable" at the same time.
