I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#160 - Beholder Gnoll
Currently, Li Yue's body could not block the chill from the earth, nor could he summon the Self-Healing Bone—Finley, the Wolf Prince's last wish, had come true. Who knew if the Self-Healing Bone appeared, whether it would be directly crushed into dust?
Li Yue had no choice but to move along the edge of the cold air in the ground, missing the entrance to the cave and detouring further. Finally, at a distance of 100 meters from the cave entrance, he escaped the range of the cold air.
A radius of about 100 meters, huh…
Li Yue pondered the role of the Flying Hyena in the arena, and was stunned to find that the "Extreme Cold Barrier" could cover almost half of the arena, greatly interfering with the momentum of the "Killing Sea Butterfly".
However, Li Yue didn't feel frustrated. Wasn't this the meaning of advance reconnaissance?
If he hadn't come to take a look, who would have known that the hyena family… actually excelled at magic attacks?
Li Yue passed through the soil and entered the rock layer. Although the crawling speed was slower, he successfully entered the inner layer of the cave—the position was slightly off, but it wasn't a big problem. The cave's map was imprinted in Li Yue's head, so he just needed to follow the map.
Once inside the inner layer of the cave, Li Yue no longer felt the chilling cold, temporarily passing the Flying Hyena's hurdle.
The next target was located at the first corner of the cave. Li Yue guessed it might also be some kind of guard, otherwise it wouldn't be placed in that kind of place in the cave—after all, the hyena family and the Wolf tribe didn't have a very good relationship. Not only should there be a flying hyena on guard outside the camp at all times, but there should also be a guard inside.
Who knew that when he rounded the corner, Li Yue suddenly felt a gaze fall on him, and was immediately horrified beyond measure!
At the corner, a small hyena hunter, only half the height of a normal hyena hunter, was lying on its side, with a Beholder protruding from its shoulder!
As if a large portion of its nutrients had been absorbed by the Beholder, this hyena, although covered in old wounds like a warrior, was several circles smaller than a normal hyena hunter, a miniature version.
The Beholder stared unblinkingly at Li Yue, as if it could see through the dense rock layer and accurately locate Li Yue's position.
Clairvoyance?
Li Yue thought of the Beholder's skills, and his thoughts simultaneously fell on the hyena…
[Analyzing… 47%… ]
The hyena and the Beholder were one, with a hole in the throat and a mass of blood vessels connecting to the huge eyeball on its shoulder, like some kind of malformation.
"What's wrong?" The hyena didn't share thoughts with the Beholder and still needed to ask.
The Beholder's mouth was located below the eyeball, just a crack, now opening and closing: "In the rock layer… there's a strange thing."
"An enemy?" The small hyena stood up, turned towards Li Yue's direction, and twitched its nose.
"Oh… no, it's some kind of mysterious creature, just hunting." The Beholder's eyeball rolled around, letting Li Yue go.
It wasn't that the Beholder didn't look closely enough, but that Li Yue's acting was too superb—when the Beholder turned its gaze, Li Yue gave up swimming away and instead found some insects in the soil, stuffed them into the octopus tentacles, and then had them absorbed by the suckers, just like an aquatic creature hunting.
After experiencing the third match of the Slaughter Cup, Li Yue could already imitate the movements of the "Octopus Demon Form" vividly, truly making the Beholder understand him as some kind of mysterious creature.
However, the small hyena's nose twitched non-stop, wanting to ask about the octopus smell in the soil: "Mysterious creature? Never seen it before? Is it delicious?"
"If you like eating water demons, maybe you can try…" The Beholder stared at Li Yue's every move, "But I don't recommend it, it might be very toxic…"
While the hyena and the Beholder were talking, Li Yue directly and slowly released some of the toxins previously stored in the soil through his suckers, covering his whole body as if he was excreting, which really disgusted the Beholder.
"Hmm… forget it, Hayena promised to share a piece of noble with me, this guy's cooking skills are not bad, I'm more looking forward to his deliciousness…" The hyena smacked its lips.
Li Yue just picked up some small bugs in the soil, sucked and spit them out, until the Demon Illustrated Handbook recorded this hyena—similar to the Flying Hyena,
This hyena's number was still 122, having reached some kind of symbiotic relationship with the Beholder, and also corresponding to the Beholder's abilities of clairvoyance and petrifying gaze.
Originally, the Flying Hyena's "Extreme Cold Barrier" had already given Li Yue a headache, and now adding clairvoyance and petrifying gaze… the difficulty of the fourth match of the Slaughter Cup also increased linearly.
"Clairvoyance" would see through high-density bones to find the fragile brain spirit body, which was obviously not good news; "Petrifying Gaze" could also petrify high-density bones, and Li Yue would no longer have the convenience of "sensing objects", making the bone armor a burden.
Based on the observation of the Flying Hyena and the Beholder Hyena, Li Yue couldn't help but deeply suspect… those five hyenas marked with hexagrams by Yingying… should all have their priority raised, and it would be best to kill them first.
Also, after observing these two hyenas, Li Yue didn't think about adjusting his strategy for now, planning to finish watching all five before speaking, so he continued to act for a moment, his tentacles bulging, releasing a new round of toxins, and then "contentedly" swam towards the next location—the torture chamber.
But just as Li Yue was about to "turn his back" to leave, he suddenly received malice.
[Malice +144]
The Beholder's gaze seemed to solidify, and a beam of light shot through the soil, affecting the octopus in the soil; Li Yue only had time to block it with a tentacle, preventing the petrifying gaze from directly hitting his binding line, so that his brain would turn to stone.
Sensing that the octopus tentacle was becoming sluggish and slow, Li Yue decisively abandoned this tentacle, and the other seven tentacles exerted force together, swimming out of the attack range of the petrifying ray.
"Hehe, fun." Just like casually swatting a fly, the Beholder Hyena chuckled, but did not pursue.
They really have nothing to do…
Li Yue slandered as he left, swimming towards the torture chamber—first complete the most important task, and then do the rest of the icing on the cake later.
Arriving at the torture chamber, Li Yue couldn't find the target for a moment.
Hayena was originally in the torture chamber, and there were also some other hyena hunters coming in and out at the time, uu reading books, but at this moment it was quiet here, and the hyenas didn't know where they had gone, only five Fallen Nobles were tied to the ground, three of whom had fainted, and the remaining two were groaning in pain on the ground.
"Hey, help me untie…" A noble covered in blood lay on his side, sending his bound hand behind his back to the mouth of the other noble who was still somewhat awake, signaling him to bite the rope open.
"Damn… what to do… where to escape…" That noble was only "slightly awake", and his emotions were still somewhat out of control—he couldn't understand how he, who was originally a guest of the Demon King's City, could have fallen to this point.
"Damn it! Cheer up!" The noble covered in blood twisted his body, getting closer, "I know the exit of this cave, quickly untie me, let's escape together!"
"Quick, or do you want to wait for the hyenas to come back and eat you alive?" The noble covered in blood urged repeatedly.
《 Immortal Wood Romance 》
"No, don't…" Another noble shivered, biting the rope at his mouth, desperately untying it.
Li Yue noticed that the hyena hunters near the torture chamber had all gone far away for some reason—were they so confident in the nobles tied here?
And when Li Yue scanned the group of Fallen Nobles in the torture chamber with his thoughts, he suddenly discovered that the one covered in blood… wasn't as simple as he looked.
[Analyzing… 32%… ]
"Okay! Let's go!" With great effort, he untied the rope, and the blood-stained one helped up the one with sore teeth, staggering and picking a rock path to step on, both very tacitly ignoring the three who had fainted behind them.
Li Yue followed while analyzing, becoming more and more suspicious, until he received a prompt from the Demon Illustrated Handbook.
Could it be, it is the mouth of Reid Kote… that wolf in human skin?
