I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The soil layers in the Abyssal Maw were extremely thick, and even with the octopus tentacles, Li Yue had to expend a lot of effort to break through a layer.

Originally, Li Yue thought the octopus tentacles were superior in flexibility, enough to lead Abaddon and the others by a distance, avoiding further value theft and increased debt.

Unexpectedly, the earth element magician was skilled, and no matter how Li Yue changed direction, he followed closely behind, keeping Barrow and Bonnie within the range of snatching.

Abaddon was also constantly appraising.

After descending to the seventh layer, Li Yue began to hope to exhaust the magician's magic power, but soon found it was also a luxury.

Whenever the magician's magic power was about to bottom out, Abaddon would throw out valuable magic stone coins, replenishing the magician's magic power while continuing to increase Li Yue's debt.

This reminded Li Yue of the scene when he brought Yingying and Dandan... back from the Demon Market.

At that time, there was a butler with a spoon chasing after them relentlessly, steadily pursuing them, almost to the library, and it was Yingying and Dandan who went out to settle him.

Unfortunately, they are not here now, and Li Yue can only fight alone, owing debts alone.

Below the seventh layer, the soil layers of the Abyssal Maw contained almost nothing but corpses, various meats mixed with old bones, as if sensing the heat and impulse in the space, merging with each other, which also caused some interference to Li Yue's speed.

Not to mention the inexplicable demons between each layer that he didn't have time to analyze.

Just from those Li Yue brushed past, there were armored behemoths he had encountered in the arena, zombies dripping with bloody mud, silverfish that freely consumed flames and living creatures between layers, and even corpse collectors who had come to the library to collect corpses.

The ground of the lower layers of the Abyssal Maw, piled up with layers of corpses... had become an inexhaustible resource for the corpse collectors.

They kept cleaning and devouring, and after filling their stomachs, they would send them in the direction of the blood cocoon.

They were even too lazy to collect corpses in other areas.

The silverfish were more like scavengers of the air. Whenever a new demon was born in the stratum, they would bite on it, crushing and tearing it apart, becoming nutrients to further nourish the corpses on the ground.

In terms of appearance, the silverfish were somewhat similar to the one Buddybooger imagined, but smaller. It seemed that Buddybooger had encountered a big guy before.

It's just that after dying several times, Buddybooger's memory could not be fully restored, and Li Yue couldn't ask anything.

So all the way, the Demon Illustrated Handbook kept popping up the "Analyzing" prompt, but it never finished—no way, Abaddon and the others were chasing too closely, and the demons in the Abyssal Maw were not as weak as the Eyeball Demons and Winged Demons.

By the 12th layer, Li Yue had finally passed the main body of the blood cocoon.

The blood cocoon was like a giant wall between heaven and earth, filling every space in Li Yue's perception. The edge of the giant wall seemed to be the birthplace of the siege beasts.

It was a tumor protruding from the blood cocoon. The corpses and bones from all layers of the Abyssal Maw were sent into the opening of the blood cocoon by the corpse collectors; the other end of the tumor continuously squeezed out and dropped huge blood clots. Each blood clot swelled for a moment, tore open the blood membrane, and swelled into a siege beast.

Elephant-shaped, wheel-shaped, bell-shaped... and even humanoid ones that Li Yue had never seen before.

Humanoid siege beasts were equivalent to giants, with their ribs completely open in front of them, like some kind of torture device curled up on the ground, or an ant head with giant pincers and human legs.

After these siege beasts were born, they all fell on a huge mushroom-like fleshy mass, and then bounced upwards along the surface of the blood cocoon. The destination was naturally the rear outposts of the expeditionary force.

There were many such fleshy masses, and the lines on the surface of the blood cocoon were also very complex.

Not only siege beasts, but also groups of demon soldiers, demon guards, blood corpses, armored behemoths... were all ejected in this way, becoming a continuous stream of reinforcements under Memphis' command.

In other words, if the brave men really had the ability to destroy the blood cocoon, it would naturally cause great damage to the expeditionary force and Demon King City.

But Li Yue, looking at the huge blood cocoon that was completely impossible to see the whole picture, knew that this idea was just wishful thinking.

Even throwing an atomic bomb down might not be able to blow up half of the blood cocoon.

It was too big.

The blood cocoon seemed to be the root of Demon King City, closely connected to this continent and this world, and even the center point could not be found.

Abaddon, Barrow, and Bonnie were also the first to descend into the Abyssal Maw and see the blood cocoon for the first time.

They observed the birth of the demons, and also tried to use Thief's Eyes and Appraisal to find the value of the blood cocoon, but after finding that they could not measure it like Li Yue, they gave up and focused on staring at Li Yue.

The passing demons did not cause any trouble for Abaddon.

Barrow and Bonnie, like Hentlar, owed him debts, so this 8th-order merchant left all the demons to the dog couple to deal with.

【137 thousand... 8 thousand... interest 15%...】

And from Abaddon's inner voice, Li Yue kept hearing the amount of debt he owed and the interest.

Although he didn't know what unit this was calculated in, or whether the interest rate was per second or per year, Li Yue became more and more anxious.

Once Abaddon appraised his value and the amount of debt exceeded that value, would he become a coin?

"It seems that our order needs to be changed, right? There are so many demons born here~ We can directly dig materials from here and send them up~ It will be very profitable~"

Bonnie set her sights on the demons produced by the blood cocoon's giant tumor.

"What is this? If we can find out the value of the blood cocoon, we might be able to control the Abyssal Maw and get whatever we want." Barrow was still brooding over Bonnie letting Abaddon ride on her back, and his words were not very agreeable.

"Hmph~ Then you find it~ Talk about it after you find it~" Bonnie rolled her eyes and stole a few octopus tentacles from Li Yue's bone mass, "This demon is already priceless. I don't know how long we have to follow him. Where do we have time to find anything else~"

"Referring to its lifespan and its output per second, we can still calculate it... After calculating it, we can use the same method to calculate the blood cocoon." Abaddon sat comfortably on Bonnie's back, pointing at the blood cocoon.

"Considering the dimension of time, nothing is priceless."

"It's a pity~ It doesn't seem like there's any place~ suitable for a safe zone~" Bonnie's Thief's Eyes had been scanning for a long time, "If we could comfortably watch the blood cocoon in a safe zone~ that would be perfect~"

"It's okay, when I buy Scourge, I can also buy the safe zone of the arena and put it here, and then build a trade route, and I won't have to worry about food and clothing, hahaha..."

Abaddon had long regarded Li Yue as a coin, and had also considered how to further develop the Abyssal Maw in the future.

In this anxiety of being bought at any time, Li Yue descended to the 15th layer of the Abyssal Maw, and was getting closer and closer to the outer wall of the blood cocoon—the outer wall of the blood cocoon had a slight curvature, and the area occupied became larger as it went down, so it was not that Li Yue had deviated from the position, but was approaching the middle section of the blood cocoon.

Li Yue also sensed that the closer he got to the blood cocoon, the stronger the activity of the corpses, and at the same time, the cerebral cortex connected to the posterior pituitary gland was also slightly atrophied.

Obviously, the curse of the Abyssal Maw was stronger.

In addition to tumors, there were also some half-embedded magical creatures on the surface of the blood cocoon.

Some of them had human heads and fish tails, some had scales formed from blood scabs, and some had magic patterns growing on their skin...

Just like the Bodekoli embedded in Buddybooger's body back then.

They mumbled and muttered, as if they had lost their minds, constantly splitting and merging on the outer wall of the blood cocoon, their faces twisted, all full of anger.

Obviously, the blood cocoon was unapproachable. Approaching it would lead to capture and becoming a part of it.

It was also at this time that Li Yue noticed that the library was full of magic power, and the Staff of Deception was eager to try.

It was finally time to fight back.
