I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The moment Li Yue stepped forward, he sensed a great malice, aimed at the Bone of Self-Healing; at the same time, a sudden force pushed him away, as if he had bumped into a wall that would bounce him back.

"What are you spacing out for? Not leaving?" At the entrance to the Forbidden Forest, an Egg was circling around, asking Li Yue.

And the Egg's shadow had already merged with the Forbidden Forest, extending infinitely.

"This forest is hostile to him." Yingying seemed to sense the will of the forest, turning into an arrow and pointing at Li Yue.

"Is it hostile to me, or hostile to it?" Li Yue said, taking off Little Noisy's skull, and once again a lonely brain floated in.

As Li Yue had expected, this time neither malice nor pushing force appeared, but when Li Yue used his mind to pull the skull, gradually approaching the Forbidden Forest, it was still pushed out by an invisible force, even leaving several hideous holes in the skull!

[Malice +9999]

"Heh… First a warning, then an attack…" Li Yue silently savored the Forbidden Forest's curse, thinking that if he had known this earlier, why would he have made Little Noisy so busy? Wouldn't it be more efficient to use some bones to break into the Forbidden Forest?

"What's going on?" Egg didn't understand.

"Finley must have told his dad something; the Forbidden Forest is now a forbidden zone for skeletons." Li Yue transmitted mentally, "Not long ago, I was fighting with several other sons of devils, one of whom was the Demon Wolf Prince Finley. He once said that skeletons were not allowed to appear in the Forbidden Forest, and obviously… this is the result."

Finley was intimidating Li Yue when he said this, but he didn't expect that the Demon Wolf Prince was now dead and gone, but the promise he made still remained.

Fortunately, Li Yue was wearing "Little Noisy", not "Sharp Boned Hunk" – otherwise, once the Forbidden Forest detected the existence of the "Demon Wolf's Fang", there might have been even more fierce attacks.

"Then what do we do? Are we still going in…?" Egg saw Li Yue turn around and leave the Forbidden Forest, not understanding what he was going to do.

"Of course, I'm changing clothes…" Li Yue had to readjust "Uninhibited Boned Trendy Man", removing all the Bones of Self-Healing, and using binding thread to connect the octopus tentacles, simply creating a set of eight tentacles wrapped in a ball of thread.

In this way, he would have to re-edit when he used "Uninhibited Boned Trendy Man" later, but when Li Yue thought of finding a treasure that could steadily provide malice, he felt it was worth it.

Moreover, relying on Brain Spirit's excellent memory, re-editing wouldn't take much time, and the consumption of malice during the process could be returned by the Forbidden Forest…

Not only that, Li Yue even felt that he could brush up a wave of malice when he left, so as not to waste this trip out.

But just as Li Yue put on the tentacles, a shadow in the air quickly approached, bringing a sharp whistling sound!

A hunter?

Before Li Yue could use his mind to knock it down, he saw the bird in the air completely solidify, and then it became a large cloud of blood in the air, splashing down, and he didn't even have time to see what kind of demon bird it was – Yingying did it, directly crushing the attacker into a ball of blood.

"Hurry, it's wonderful inside." Yingying withdrew himself from the scattered blood shadow, also a little anxious.

But what Li Yue wondered was, why didn't this bird have "malice" when it attacked?

Was it because it had no intelligence, like livestock, or was the attack just now not aimed at me, but just to fill its stomach?

Li Yue probably understood that the Forbidden Forest was full of predators, and the "malice" prompt could no longer accurately provide danger warnings, so he still had to be highly vigilant and observe the surroundings…

"Here we go." Li Yue said, re-entering the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing the octopus "swim" over into the ground, Egg started rolling inward again, and the fine particles also formed a bowl shape, starting to receive various noises from the forest; Li Yue silently sensed the movement of insects on the ground and underground, and in a rustling sound, slowly approached the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

While walking, Li Yue even sensed that some insects were biting on the octopus tentacles underground. Although Li Yue himself didn't feel pain, he still felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, he also absorbed a lot of earth elements and toxins with the suction cups. If he accumulated more, he might be able to spray poisonous earth bullets.

Li Yue's previous understanding of the Gnoll family… was limited to the fragmentary records in Budiboge's memory and collection of books. After really entering the Forbidden Forest, of course, he didn't know the location of their family's territory, so he could only rely on Yingying to complete the target search.

So after Li Yue and the three demons entered the Forbidden Forest, they didn't change their position, and went straight in, until the entrance became the limit of Yingying's shadow stretching, and then the three demons moved horizontally, searching for the traces of the Gnoll family from the periphery of the Forbidden Forest, trying not to disturb the terrifying existences inside the Forbidden Forest as much as possible.

"Remember, the footprints are like this, the feces are like this, the body hair is like this…" Li Yue had already shared the traces that the Gnoll family might leave with Yingying, but at this moment, he couldn't help but transmit mentally to it again, perhaps because he was a little nervous, "As for the habitat… usually the Gnoll family will choose caves, valleys, riverbanks, such places to facilitate their response to enemy attacks or retreat by digging…"

The moonlight was hazy, and everything was unclear; the surroundings were rustling, and it seemed that there were always demons peeking, making Li Yue's spirit tense.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way – any demons that took the initiative to approach Li Yue and the three demons were "twisted and killed" by Yingying, and they were also relatively weak in the periphery of the Forbidden Forest, unable to resist the expulsion of the Shadow Demon.

So a strange atmosphere was added to the Forbidden Forest – the insects that were originally moving freely died strangely, as if there was an invisible hand, breaking their heads, breaking their legs, twisting their waists, and exploding them one by one, just for fun.

If a life is suddenly crushed, please remember to look at their shadows.

"How is it?" Finally, Yingying's coverage range had stretched to the limit, and the situation on the periphery of the Forbidden Forest had also reached a peak. The next step was to scan horizontally.

"In this direction, there is a thunder pool, which should be in a period of weakness now, but it will also hinder my perception…" Yingying's arrow pointed to the 11 o'clock direction – under Li Yue's care, Yingying used shadows to make a large arrow, while using extremely detailed shadows to create small characters on Egg's eggshell, to prevent anyone from peeping.

"Oh, that should be the habitat of the Evil Horned Beasts. The Gnoll family doesn't like plains, and they shouldn't be neighbors with the Evil Horned Beasts…" Li Yue rummaged through all the relevant knowledge in the palace of memory, excluding unlikely locations, and making directional navigation.

"In this direction, all the trees are withered, and there is an aura of death, like a cemetery…" Yingying pointed to the 8 o'clock direction, "The trees on the edge are half-dead, and are being eroded."

"Cemetery, eroded trees… the possibility of being related to the Gnoll family is not high." Li Yue made a judgment based on the gnoll habits outlined in his mind.

At the same time, Li Yue also noted the direction of the cemetery and the eroded trees, thinking that if he brought a bone sword next time, the cemetery would undoubtedly be the most favorable battlefield for him.

"Let's turn right." The thunder pool and the cemetery were both on the left, and the right side was relatively calm. Li Yue signaled to turn, and at the same time began to instill some geographical knowledge to Yingying, so that the Shadow Demon could make terrain judgments and provide more accurate information.

Li Yue didn't know how big the Forbidden Forest was, but in order to cover a larger detection range, he still had to expand the free movement range of the three as much as possible, and try to avoid provoking unnecessary troubles in the early stage – such as the thunder pool where the Evil Horned Beasts lived, and the cemetery where the trees withered inexplicably.

"Found it." Not long after changing direction, Yingying suddenly swelled, "A very deep hole, with gnoll hair at the entrance."

"Very good." Li Yue's attitude was no different from just now, but his heart was rippling.

There was a demon watching him – Li Yue was sure.

Just now, there was a sudden unnatural twist in the tree trunk; and the shadow of the tree was blocked by the leaves, so Yingying didn't feel anything unusual.

But Li Yue had not relaxed his perception of the surroundings, and noticed it.
