I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The colosseum has completely become a camp for heroes.

There isn't even a shadow of any monster to be found around.

Although the Hunter Country lost Hentlar and was repeatedly wiped out by elites in the colosseum's underground cave and the library, the world they opened up in the Demon King's city still exists, constantly attracting heroes from afar.

Li Yue also learned after redeploying that during the month of Hentlar's lockdown, O'Keebu G had somehow obtained the return city permits of Memphis and the Demon King.

So, the Sack Demon took the time to return from the Sindrami front and completely swept through the heroes in the colosseum.

However, the war continues, and O'Keebu G cannot stay for too long.

When the Sack Demon returned to the battlefield, the colosseum was once again occupied by heroes.

But O'Keebu G also completely hid the candlestick symbolizing authority—the colosseum is completely closed, there is no longer a Killing Cup, and there are no gladiators.

What the heroes occupy is just a wasteland, and a new teleportation portal has been built on this wasteland.

But this is enough for them.

The heroes who come from afar actually only need a camp, a springboard, where they can trade their gains from exploring the Demon King's city, and where they can get more commissions.

"A bunch of endless bugs and robbers from his demon cocoon…" O'Keebu G cursed as he left, leaving countless corpses behind, but he didn't find the most hateful hunter among them.

And when Li Yue, wearing Grandet's skin, strolled through the colosseum's market, spreading a rumor about the "Abyssal Maw", he felt a relaxation he had never experienced before.

O'Keebu G couldn't find the Egg Pod, of course, because this thing had already merged with the library's Demon Route; and this dear King of the Colosseum didn't even touch the shadow of the enemy, only knowing that the Hunter Country was unreliable, not knowing that Li Yue had already done most of the preparatory work to overthrow him from power.

Next is to explore the Abyssal Maw and locate "Hellfire".

Li Yue could of course go on the road alone, but after seeing the damage caused by the Hunter Country to the colosseum, he decided to use rumors to guide them to hell together.

First, the heroes have endless energy to vent, and using the Abyssal Maw as their vent is perfect.

After all, Memphis, as the commander of the expeditionary army, is not in his lair at the moment, so it's good to break in, just don't come to the library.

Second, the Abyssal Maw must have its curse, so you can use the heroes of the Hunter Country to test the waters, lest you accidentally capsize in the gutter and be targeted by Memphis.

Third… it's just for fun.

For this reason, Li Yue specially designed several very simple rumors, letting them spread separately, to see which one has the strongest dissemination power and can best reach the hearts of the heroes.

[Hentlar "hunted" to the Abyssal Maw to perform the ceremony of ascending to the Hunter King.]

[Hentlar monopolized the treasure of the colosseum and hid in the Abyssal Maw to absorb it secretly.]

[The headquarters of the Demon Expeditionary Army is located in the Abyssal Maw. Destroying it will end this war… ]

In the end, it was proved that rumor 2 best met the expectations of the heroes, and a new round of rumors began to ferment among the heroes—whenever Hentlar's whereabouts were mentioned, the Hunter Country heroes' voices revealed resentment and greed.

With rumors as support, Li Yue also thoughtfully made hundreds of human skin maps for the heroes, marking the location of the Abyssal Maw on the Labyrinth Corridor, making it easier for them to find it.

It's just a matter of rectifying the broken space on the upper layer of the library and pouring the heroes directly into it along these holes.

Even if it is not yet certain that the library is connected to the Abyssal Maw.

In order to enhance the credibility of the rumors, Li Yue even made a set of Hentlar's human skin, leading a group of heroes to run to the Labyrinth Corridor, and then in full view of the public, plunged into the door leading to the Abyssal Maw…

It's just that the body was destroyed in an instant after entering the Abyssal Maw, obviously triggering some kind of restriction, and Li Yue could only sense a scorching heat.

With the testimony of eyewitnesses, more heroes gathered in front of the new teleportation portal in the square, preparing to team up to explore the Abyssal Maw.

In addition, there are still some merchants and thieves who are trying to dig up the heroes' corpses buried deep in the colosseum, recovering the undamaged remains and relics.

Li Yue returned to the square as a merchant, searching for all the materials that would be beneficial to the transformation of the library, while listening to the gossip and rumors of the continent, as well as the movements of the Hunter Country.

"Mr. Grandet, here is today's newspaper."

The newsboy Harry did not die in O'Keebu G's purge against the heroes. After a few days of getting along, he already knew the merchant Grandet's habit of reading the newspaper every day.

Reuniting with this lively newsboy, Li Yue certainly wouldn't reveal the fact that he was Hannibal, and the payment method was changed from Demon Wolf Teeth, magic stones, and other materials to copper coins, not giving a penny more.

"Hmm." Li Yue took the latest issue of "Things in the Demon King's City".

"Hunter King Sighting Report—Hentlar invades the Abyssal Maw?!"

Yo, it's in the newspaper?

Li Yue sat in the corner of the square, his dim yellow eyes swept over the headline, thinking that after all, "Things in the Demon King's City" is produced by a newspaper belonging to the Hunter Country, compared to the content of the rumors… the wording is still somewhat beautified.

In the center of the first page is the scene of Hentlar jumping into the Abyssal Maw. I don't know how the people at the newspaper extracted the picture from the heroes' heads, it's very powerful.

However, if the "Eagle Eye" who witnessed this hero is trained strong enough, he should also see a bone brain with tentacles under the eighteenth floor tile of the Labyrinth Corridor, wandering in the soil.

Turning over the first page, the content of the second page predicts the arrival of the remaining three powerhouses of the Hunter Country.

Abaddon, Barrow, and Bonnie have confirmed that they are "temporarily out of contact" with Hentlar. Abaddon issued a statement praising Hentlar for completing the "feat" of breaking through the colosseum, and also decided to personally lead the Hunter Country to carry out a deeper "strike" on the Demon King's city, making more contributions to the benefit of mankind.

The whole article is written in a grandiose manner, which also makes Li Yue see the ambition of the Hunter Country at a glance.

After the fall of the holy city of Sindrami, the Hunter Country began to pay attention to the shaping of its own image, wanting to create itself as a pioneer in hunting the Demon King's city, absorbing more scattered heroic power.

Good public relations are also part of the Hunter Country.

On the third page, Hannibal has been removed from the hero list of the newspaper, and Van Helsing has also been squeezed to an invisible place. Of the top ten Li Yue knows, only Hentlar and Jesse Kingston remain, and the rest are unfamiliar names.

However, below the ranking, the boldface names of Abaddon, Barrow, and Bonnie have been added. Looking at the momentum, it seems that they will dominate the top three at any time.

The names of Rain Man and Sawyer were suppressed by the heroes, resulting in their deeds not being recorded and not reflected on the list.

Li Yue was a little curious about the whereabouts of the two—he was in a hurry to return to the library to set up a trap for Hentlar at the time, leaving these two people next to the candlestick unattended. Could they have been swept away by O'Keebu G?

This time, Li Yue didn't think O'Keebu G would have the patience to drill them with red fly drills.

Then Li Yue saw that not far away, Rain Man's body was dragged from the ground to the surface by the grave-robbing thieves.

Rain Man's body was covered with maggots and was gnawed to pieces.

Half of the baton was broken, and the remaining half was stuck in Rain Man's throat.
