I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

In the past few days of underground operations, Li Yue had already lit up the anchor points of Goldmine Town and Silvermine Town...

He even picked up a lot of gold and silver scraps along the way—the underground mine tunnels of the two towns were even narrower and more cramped, but this did not affect Li Yue's ability to excavate the lost minerals from the soil.

With his X-ray vision and tentacles, Li Yue's speed in collecting ore was extraordinary. Before long, he filled two sacks, and even had some left over, discarding some of the lower-quality stuff.

Li Yue regretted not coming to the gold and silver mines earlier, otherwise he could have skipped the whole process of appraisal and making money.

As for the churches in Goldmine Town and Silvermine Town... Li Yue always observed patiently, finding the time when believers went out to quickly enter and exit. He triggered the alarm a few times, but was never caught by the Sweepers or priests.

Moving in the soil, Li Yue had an absolute advantage.

The town halls and churches of the two gold and silver towns were about what he imagined: one imprisoned heretics, and the other imprisoned heroes and fed them white浆.

When approaching them, Li Yue could clearly sense the heretics' pursuit of faith, and also the heroes' confusion about the New Church.

These were all irrelevant to Li Yue.

Li Yue went in and ran away, burrowing into the ground.

In this way, Li Yue swam into the range of Holy Mine Town, and also learned that the Bard's Gathering would be held in the town hall the night after tomorrow.

The Bard's Gathering was undoubtedly the biggest event in Riftgold Mountain recently.

It was said that nobles, scholars, and even the royal family would send people to watch this grand event, and the poet who sang the epic would be invited to Godsworn City...

Jesse and her new army would also stay until after the assembly, before heading towards Demon King City.

As for whether they would specifically attack Red Oil Town or some other place, neither the "Imperial News" nor the Riftgold Mountain newspapers had accurate information.

There were also some scattered other news items in the newspapers, such as after the rain of eyeballs, Demon King City had already attacked Red Oil Town, and it was said that they had used the Empire's railways?

For example, the Ministry of Construction was building some new type of building in the Holy City, causing dissatisfaction from the New Church...

And in terms of perception, Li Yue found that more and more refugees were pouring into the five towns of Riftgold from all directions.

Of course, there were also merchants.

The rich took the train to leave, heading to New Holy City or within the borders of the Empire; those who stayed seemed to be trying to make money in every possible way, wanting to leave this hellhole.

But most of those stranded refugees were quickly absorbed by the New Church and became believers—after all, a little white浆 could fill their stomachs, and it was still the official New Church of the Empire, which was still advantageous compared to refugee life.

So tens of thousands of refugees became believers, and Li Yue couldn't understand how the New Church would deal with them.

Also after arriving at Holy Mine Town, Li Yue found that although the scale of Holy Mine Town was similar to the other four towns, the number of Sweepers was significantly higher, with people patrolling every street and alley, making it difficult to show his face.

Moreover, in the few times he went to scout the Holy Mine Town Hall and Church, Li Yue touched a special material, which directly triggered the alarm and drove him far away.

So Li Yue was suspicious.

"I told you, that thing is Cinderami Holy Ash, the ashes of some believers of the Old Church, which can detect demonic power and is very rare..." Yingying painstakingly explained the holy ash that Li Yue stepped on.

"Really not being targeted?" Li Yue was underground, looking at the Church of Holy Mine Town from a distance, and found that as long as he was far away, he couldn't see the existence of the holy ash, making it difficult to deal with.

How could he sneak into the town hall and church?

"I didn't say you weren't being targeted, I just said the holy ash doesn't have a tracking function..." Yingying wasn't sure what kind of danger Li Yue's demonic intuition represented.

"So it's still possible that someone is looking for me?" Li Yue kept looking around, "Not the New Church? Then who is it? Jesse? Or the Sweepers?"

"It can't be the Sweepers, they don't have this ability." Through his experience dealing with the Sweepers since arriving in the five towns, Li Yue already knew that the Sweepers were just knights in black armor who had undergone some physical modifications, and were not difficult to deal with.

"Jesse? Soya?" Li Yue still couldn't dispel the deep-seated unease, "Don't you feel anything?"

"You are a brain spirit, your ability to discern malice... should be stronger than me." Yingying was also trying to analyze, "Or is it possible... that person is chasing you, not me? So I can't feel it?"

"Have you ever had a similar feeling?" Yingying realized that if she didn't find the tracker, Li Yue didn't seem to plan to move.

This would delay the progress a lot.

"You ask a good question..." Li Yue began to recall, "Strictly speaking... I've only had this feeling once."

"When?"

"The first time I ran away from Ironmine Town."

"Do you remember? There were several heroes chasing me at the time..."

"So it's Soya? A hero? A believer?" Yingying felt a little annoyed and didn't want to help Li Yue analyze anymore.

Li Yue didn't seem to need it either, he found a key point.

"That feeling... disappeared after the first hunter died."

"Hunter?"

"You said... could it be 'Eagle Eye'?" Li Yue had chatted with Yingying a lot these days, and also knew a lot about its understanding of demons and heroes, and knew some basic hero knowledge.

Although Yingying also had a smattering of knowledge and didn't know where it came from, but if Li Yue combined it with the process of communicating with the heroes to verify it, he found that most of it was accurate.

"Trust your intuition, that's what we demons do." Yingying relaxed a little when she saw that Li Yue had finally found the answer.

"But if it's the hunter's Eagle Eye, why is it so far away?" Li Yue still remembered that the hunter in Ironmine Town could only see a few hundred meters, not even as far as he could see himself.

"Strong, duh." Yingying had been with Li Yue for a long time, and she talked more, "That's how heroes are, the more materials and potions they eat, the stronger they become, maybe he's watching us from afar right now..."

Li Yue switched between X-ray vision and normal vision, looking at a piece of darkness and the vaguely visible shadows on the ground, feeling a little nervous.

"Obviously, this hunter didn't cooperate with the Sweepers, the Church, or Jesse, otherwise we wouldn't have time to talk here..." Li Yue further thought along this line of thought.

"Five towns, now only the town hall and church of Holy Mine Town are left, and if I run to the mine and the arsenal again, I'll finally be done with Riftgold Mountain. Being targeted by a hunter at this time is not a good thing..."

Basically, Li Yue still continued his previous line of thought, first dealing with the places that were easy to explore, leaving the difficult problems to the end, and then rushing through them all at once.

The mine and arsenal of Riftgold Mountain must be as heavily guarded as Holy Mine Town. It's best to cause a big incident in Holy Mine Town first, and then take advantage of his speed advantage when the power of Riftgold Mountain is concentrated here, and run all the way out of the mine and arsenal to get the next memory...

Now that there was a inexplicable hunter staring at him, this plan would be difficult to implement.

"Before he catches us, we better solve him first." Li Yue made a decision.

"You mean... hunting the hunter?" Yingying trembled.

"Yes, today." Li Yue looked around.

"Okay... that's cool." Yingying nodded.

"Can you leave me?" Li Yue asked a strange question.
