I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Back then, Huntelaar's scan before opening the door was definitely aimed at clearing the area in addition to pinpointing the direction of his sole prey, thereby eliminating any unstable factors that might affect the exploration of the lower levels.

He did force Li Yue back and mark him at the time, but Huntelaar certainly didn't expect Li Yue to have a way to transfer his "tracking" and return so quickly.

His main body moved downwards through the soil, and Li Yue grew a pair of mutated eyes to peer into the darkness, finally seeing through to the battlefield deep within.

The Hunter Country's array advanced in the large pit at the bottom, constantly approaching Beelzebub, who was near the edge of the large hollow, with only about a hundred zhang of distance remaining.

Beelzebub had moved its nest.

Clearly, it should have originally been lying in the center, and that large pit was what it had pressed out.

It wasn't until Huntelaar led the brave warriors of Hunter Country down that it had to retreat further inside, wishing it could squeeze its entire body into the cracks in the soil at the edge of the cave.

At Beelzebub's feet were densely packed fly eggs, of various sizes, layered upon layered...

Looking at them, Li Yue even felt a bit of trypophobia.

At the same time, it continued to swing its lower abdomen, flinging large patches of fly eggs onto the ground and between the eggs.

Various kinds of fly demons and venomous flies constantly burst forth from the fly eggs. The mucus on their bodies hadn't dried yet, but they were already pouncing towards the warrior array where Huntelaar was. The air was filled with buzzing and the sound of flapping wings, combined with the "splatter" of mucus landing, becoming the prelude to the colosseum's finale.

Afraid of being entangled by the colosseum's curse, Li Yue glanced at it and severed the connection with his mutated eyes, not approaching the center of the battlefield. He relied on the brain spirits' perception and octopus tentacles to move through the soil, scattering countless eyeballs along the way...

That's right, Li Yue was preparing to make a big move here while Hunter Country and the colosseum were fighting fiercely.

Since Jessie was able to use a magic mirror to smash the colosseum's underground, then given Li Yue enough time, he could also fill the soil with mutated eyes and launch a volley from all angles.

He had done this once before, so he was familiar with the process.

Besides, he was idle anyway.

When they fought later, no matter who won, they would be pretty much exhausted. How many warriors or demons could withstand several rounds of petrification rays?

Although there were fly demons flying in the air to "cover" him, Li Yue cautiously bypassed the location of the Hunter Country's array, first swimming past from the side to avoid being noticed by Huntelaar's hawk eyes.

But Li Yue's worry was unnecessary—there were too many and too diverse demons in the large hollow. Huntelaar no longer had time to pay attention to the situation in the soil, unaware that countless eyes had spread out above his head.

However, as Li Yue swam, he encountered a new problem.

The great renovation of the library consumed a huge amount of malice, and he had spent a lot just now experimenting with the new skin. At this moment, the malice stored in the Demon Illustrated Handbook had returned to zero, and Li Yue had only managed to pave an area the size of a bedroom.

Although the malice cost to exchange for a mutated eye was 1000, in terms of quantity, it wasn't as cost-effective as a unit of iron essence or binding thread. It was considered a relatively high-consumption material.

Li Yue wanted to fill the soil with mutated eyes, which was almost as difficult as filling a lake with eyeballs.

Although Lil' Noisy was 9999 as soon as it touched the Forbidden Forest, it still needed to take shifts to rest. Li Yue didn't inform the library in advance before starting, so he quickly ran out of malice.

Should he show himself and earn some from the warriors or fly demons?

Li Yue touched the "Abominable" card, thought about it, and still didn't reveal it—the two sides were fighting fiercely. If a third party appeared, the battlefield situation might change.

Moreover, if he was marked by Huntelaar again, he would have to run back to the library, and all the arrangements would be in vain, which would be a loss.

Stealing malice from the fly demons alone wouldn't quench his thirst, and Li Yue didn't want to run back to the library again...

After thinking it over, Li Yue decided to "deceive himself."

"I'm in the library."

Li Yue used his octopus tentacles to dig open a small space in the soil outside the large hollow. His movements were very skilled, like a bricklayer.

The Scepter of Deception seemed to sense Li Yue's thoughts and echoed remotely. Li Yue also felt the surrounding scenery blur for a moment. The surrounding soil sometimes transformed into the bookshelves of the great library, sometimes into the bone walls of the Bone Chamber's reception room, and occasionally a few lightning bolts from the Thunder Pool would dart out.

Amidst the changing surroundings, the library's magic power was also rapidly consumed.

Deceiving oneself was also a physical activity.

"I'm in the Bone Chamber's reception room." Seeing this, Li Yue knew that the location wasn't specific, so he immediately added restrictive words while desperately imagining the appearance of the Bone Chamber's reception room in his mind.

"Where did this demon come from!" Minnie, who was sitting on the bone throne distributing goods, saw her body double, waving her tentacles wildly, and trembled in fright.

"Don't be afraid, it's me," Li Yue transmitted mentally.

"Brother? Why are you back again?" Minnie rolled off the bone throne. "Nothing to do?"

Li Yue didn't expect it to actually work, and was excited—wasn't this the teleportation of wish fulfillment?

Although it would consume a large amount of the library's magic power depending on the distance of the deception and the strength and number of the deceived objects, it was enough to deceive some low-level Minnies, brain spirits, and himself.

Having mastered this method of deceiving himself, he could at least return to the library at any time to report the situation.

"Call the brain spirits over!" Li Yue waved his tentacles and transmitted the message to the brain spirits.

The brain spirits also swarmed out of the Bloody Corridor—7 brain spirits had died today, but there were still many left.

"Overtime today!" Since magic power was being consumed every second, Li Yue didn't waste words.

Upon hearing this, the brain spirits immediately became listless. Some of them even flashed back to memories of being dominated by the Book Demon.

Lulu and Feifei had set up a work schedule for the Lil' Noisies based on the textile workers' schedule. Now was supposed to be their rest time, but they didn't expect to be dragged out to work by Li Yue.

"All brain spirits listen up, put down your work, put on the Lil' Noisies, and repeatedly enter and exit the Forbidden Forest!" Li Yue transmitted the message separately.

"Return by red time, and each demon will be rewarded with a magic stone!"

"The one with the most entries and exits will get an extra supreme magic stone!"

Li Yue had a good harvest from the colosseum's transactions recently, and had saved up a lot of magic stones, which he could use to give the brain spirits bonuses.

"Aww!" The brain spirits' feedback was very positive this time. Even Menmen, Huohuo, and Yueyue ran to put on the Lil' Noisies.

"I'll open the door, I know a shortcut." Menmen often roamed around Demon King City, "immersing" in all kinds of doors, and had long since opened up a shortcut to the Forbidden Forest.

The Lil' Noisies filed out, not wanting to delay for even a second.

Li Yue watched them swarm out, waiting for malice to be credited.

【Malice +4】

Huh? So fast?

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then saw Copper Spoon running out with a small hammer.

"Why are the brain spirits on strike!" Copper Spoon was so angry that he blew his beard, and Tom followed closely behind.

"I have work to do here, the project will have to wait..." When Li Yue saw the two of them enter, he found that the consumption rate of the library's magic power had increased a lot.

Less than half of today's magic power was left, which meant he could only deceive an 8th-order warrior like Huntelaar, or a high-level demon, one more time at most.

"Bang!" Li Yue hurriedly drove his thoughts to close the door tightly, lest Galarick and the others enter and directly exhaust the magic power.

"If you have work to do, you can let the skeletons and Minnies stop class and do it... Make the library enter a state of war readiness as soon as possible! The colosseum may not be able to last long." Li Yue just happened to instruct Copper Spoon and Tom.

"I'll go first..." Li Yue was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.

Hey? Wait a minute.

I'm in the Bone Chamber's reception room, so who is in the colosseum?

Li Yue thought about it and suddenly felt a burst of dizziness.
