I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

In that instant, Li Yue thought of many things — were Mini Minis or Brain Spirits working in the lower corridors of the library? Would they be pierced by a suddenly flying Egg?

Looking at the octagonal club in Galarick's hand, this hit would definitely produce a home run, right?

Maybe it could directly hit the Sixth Library at the end, helping the slave scholars create a big hole?

Li Yue thought a lot, but before he could take action to stop it, he noticed something even more puzzling — it seemed an invisible force was holding Egg's body in the air, so that it froze in the air the moment the octagonal club hit Egg, without any positional change. 【 】

Then, there were ripples on the eggshell caused by the huge impact, as if every particle was expressing joy, transmitting to every part of Egg's body.

After Egg let out a cry of pain, the force that had frozen it suddenly dissipated, and Egg fell vertically back to the ground, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"Cluck? What's going on?" Li Yue and Galarick asked almost simultaneously, except one used telepathy and the other clucked it out.

"It's my Egg now. It can only move when I want it to move." Yingying displayed a line of text, the two working together — while enduring the huge impact, Yingying forcibly "sewed" Egg's shadow in place.

And obviously, Yingying was even stronger than in the Blood River, even able to withstand the immense force comparable to that of the Demon King Mentor Mentorp, keeping Egg completely still.

"Shadow Demon?" Galarick saw the situation clearly. "It seems... you really are sons of demons."

【 Analyzing... 89%... 】

"Since that's the case, friends, I have something to ask you." Galarick stuck the bone-depleted giant sword back into the ground, and finally took Li Yue's "Little Noisy" seriously — a Brain Spirit traveling with two sons of demons was clearly not just a simple Brain Spirit.

"Do you know... a skeleton..." Galarick drew a simple sketch on the ground with the giant sword, highlighting the right hand that resembled a pure-blooded demon. "This skeleton."

Li Yue immediately recognized that Galarick was drawing the "Sharp Boned Hunk", himself during the third round of the Slaughter Cup, and immediately understood how this burly skeleton came to be — he must have been seen betting in the audience stands, and then followed him here.

But he still didn't know what the purpose of following him was — he had followed him all the way here, waited so long, and didn't even come in to take a look?

"Oh, that Skeleton Prince, the beauty among skeletons, the wielder of the Bone Sword..." Before Egg and Yingying could answer, Li Yue interrupted first, "What do you want with him?"

Li Yue wasn't sure if Galarick harbored malicious intent, so he was relatively conservative when talking about Scolreick, and at the same time, he was grateful that he had taken precautions, and didn't bring the Bone Sword with him at the moment.

"I want to know how he's doing." Galarick only said half the story, without revealing his intentions.

Fortunately, Li Yue finally completed the analysis and included this very special skeleton in his demon encyclopedia, so he could roughly know what he was thinking.

【 Analysis successful, Demon Encyclopedia entry — 166 Skeleton Knight 】

【 Skeleton Knight; Distribution: Everywhere; Lifespan: 20-400 years; Habits: A mutated species of skeleton, calm and firm, familiar with the habits and breeding methods of various mysterious creatures, loyal to its master, spending its life searching for the perfect mount; Hobbies: Riding everything / Contacting corpses; Skills: Imbues weapons with different forms depending on what it rides / Taming corpses; Action prediction success rate: 899%; Weakness: Soul dwelling place; Material drop: None 】

Overall, the difference between a Skeleton Knight and a skeleton lies in habits, hobbies, skills, and action prediction success rate.

In terms of habits, it has evolved from persistence and dullness to "calm and firm," which is why it can guard the entrance of the library for so many days; hobbies correspond to habits, truly a "rider" in name and in fact, and perhaps contacting corpses is to better understand material properties and find a mount?

So this is the so-called Skeleton Knight, who loves to ride everything?

Li Yue had already seen the skill of "imbuing weapons with different forms" just now, and "taming corpses" may correspond to "contacting corpses," being able to tame dead creatures into mounts?

As for the "action prediction success rate," it's a bit lower than that of ordinary skeletons, but overall it doesn't affect the judgment of its intentions.

It's a pity that the material drop is "None," which indirectly saved Galarick's life — Li Yue had already seen the "soul dwelling place" lurking between his legs, and with Yingying present, even without the Bone Sword, Li Yue could easily crush it.

"What do you want to know about his condition? He already has a cooperative relationship with our Brain Spirit Lord, and is also under the protection of Demon King Mentor Mentorp." Li Yue first emphasized the important position of "Scolreick" to prevent Galarick from acting rashly.

"Hmm... the treatment of a son of a demon..." Galarick seemed to think that "cluck" was too frivolous and disdained to say it.

【 No wonder Budibog wore bones to participate in the Slaughter Cup... But how did Scolreick do it... Why are so many bones produced... The bones of the dining car... Are they voluntary... Or enslaved... 】

Galarick had been squatting for so long and had learned about the transaction between the library and the Demon Kitchen.

"Scolreick... is your master? Why don't you just go in and find him?" Li Yue was still more concerned about whether Galarick was a friend or foe — although there was still plenty of time to explore the Forbidden Forest, it wasn't a good idea to spend all the time here. If he confirmed he was an enemy, he would kill him, even if there were no material drops.

However, after communicating until now, Galarick hadn't revealed any malice.

Galarick was silent, but couldn't hide his inner thoughts.

【 Skeletons that go in don't come out, there should be strong protection measures inside... 】

【 The wielder of the Bone Sword is the master of all skeletons... Rash contact may lead to enslavement... 】

"I will find him, but not now." Galarick finally organized his words, raised his head and said, "If you don't plan to tell me, and don't plan to help me pass the message, I will continue to wait here."

【 The fourth round of the Slaughter Cup will be soon... Scolreick will definitely come out... I need to ask him... 】

Galarick still didn't harbor malice, and Li Yue was happy to temporarily put Galarick's problem aside — this trip was to collect the Jackal family, and anything that wasn't very urgent could be put aside first.

Li Yue sensed the cracks in Galarick's bone seams and the firmness revealed, and thought to himself, you wait... next time "Scolreick" goes out, he will be accompanied by 61 "Slaughter Sea Butterflies" plus an unequal number of sons of demons, how can you, a Skeleton Knight, ride them all...

"Come back and have him swing you again, okay? Let's go." Pulling the reluctant Egg away from the corridor, Li Yue set off towards his destination.

"One swing isn't enough, three swings." Egg's skin itched very quickly.

Wandering through the Maze Corridor, the patrolling skeleton squads fled at the sight of "Little Noisy," as if afraid of being caught up by Li Yue, so Li Yue, Egg, and Yingying smoothly arrived at Moonlight Path leading to the "Forbidden Forest."

The last time Li Yue set foot here, he was still a highway robber, squatting to grab a ticket for the Slaughter Cup. This time, his appetite was even bigger, setting his sights on the bullies in the Forbidden Forest — the Jackal family.

But before entering that dense forest, Li Yue suddenly encountered a problem.

The Bone of Self-Healing... couldn't enter the nearby shade of the trees?
