I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Just exchanging a few glances with Ni'er outside of Barren Desolation City, Li Yue received a lot of malice. Adding that to what he'd accumulated from New Holy City and on the road, planting a few bone trees wouldn't be a problem.

As long as this broken city is blown up and the magic of the sandstorm is dispelled, the ice lake can be revealed—even if only for a brief moment.

Although Li Yue didn't know where the spell formation of the sandstorm magic was, there was no need to ask. The altar in the city that spawned the locust monstrosities was definitely one place. Li Yue decided to plant the first bone tree there.

If the altar isn't enough, three bone trees each in the east, west, and south of the city will do, overturning this Barren Desolation City.

As for accidentally injuring those merchants hiding in the buildings... Li Yue couldn't do anything about it. Anyway, he never liked merchants to begin with.

Just as Li Yue exchanged for the first bone tree and was about to throw it next to the altar, Ying'er's mental voice suddenly sounded.

【Daddy, not here...】

"What's not here?" Li Yue asked casually.

"Daddy, I know."

The Sandman left behind a skeleton, his main body and shadow instantly flashing to the top of the tower.

The same was done in the east and west of the city. Eight huge bulges appeared in eight directions within Barren Desolation City, and in the sky, eight swarms of locusts plunged into the ground like tornadoes.

Photon pigments did not escape the locusts' perception.

"What he said makes sense." Daiya's mind had gone cold just now, and being far away in the Sand Kingdom on the mainland, she was in a subtle state of indulgence.

"Come, come, let us through, let us go in and hide..." The Sandman stretched out his arms, gathering a group of Snow Country people to squeeze into the ice cave.

Ni'er had also completely devoured the outer skeleton that the Sandman had hung on the giant spider's body. The giant spider was already dead.

If you think carelessly, if seven bone trees rise to the sky, it really might break the advantage of being in a hidden state.

"Hello, I am Klaus..." Klaus Snow, the Snow Country's prince and foreign affairs officer, maintained his demeanor and was about to greet the Sandman, but was pushed away by the Sandman.

Barren Desolation City collapsed.

"What do you know?"

"But what if the Old Goat discovers you've returned?" Ying'er reminded Daiya.

"Are these seven trees enough?" The Sandman calculated that it would have been about seven trees anyway, but this time it was more targeted.

【The altar is the magic of the breeding ritual, and has nothing to do with sandstorm magic.】

"Hey, your reaction is too slow... How can you save humanity like this?" The Sandman sighed, stretching out countless tentacles from behind, quickly absorbing the lava and cold air that rushed over.

The Sandman coated his body with photon pigments, invisibly hanging upside down from the bone tree, like holding a giant sword, stabbing straight down from below the altar!

The underground was almost hollow, filled with insect eggs, an endless supply of insect eggs.

Beneath the ice lake, Wang Mu was leading nearly a hundred people, huddled in an ice cave, waiting for the arrival of the Sandman and Ying'er.

If such a recognizable method is used, and it's exposed, the previous hiding might be in vain.

"Alright? We..." Wang Mu wanted to say 'let's go,' but seeing the sky-covering locusts that had been startled, he also felt uneasy.

The altar shattered upon impact. The unintelligent locusts clinging to the surface finally realized that this strange man in tattered robes was harming Barren Desolation City.

Ying'er tapped the ice surface, sending a message downwards.

Daiya returned to the altar, then looked at the tower from afar.

Seeing the bone tree as if seeing food, the locusts in the south of the city surged, flapping their wings and drilling into the ground from the sky with a 'plop, plop' sound, enjoying the sudden addition to their meal.

Eight intersections plus an altar.

With a flash of sword light, the ice surface opened, and Wang Mu led a group of disheveled Snow Country people to appear on the ice wall.

The bone tree exploded.

"That's just what's missing..."

The Snow Country people didn't understand.

Ying'er was very proud.

【We're ready.】

"It's better to explode after inserting it into the ground, it'll look better." The Sandman's large-scale killing methods are very recognizable, whether it's the Bone Hammer Satellite or the Bone Guided Cannon, they are basically unique skills.

Wang Mu winked, but couldn't get the ice mages next to the prince to move.

Hundreds of miles away, the Locust King turned his head and saw the chaos of the eight locust storms.

Exploding from underground isn't so obvious, maybe it will be mistaken for a method of Memphistopheles?

Calculating the time, the bone tree was about to explode, and the Sandman had to hear seven loud noises before he could set out.

Faintly sensing Li Yue's thoughts, Ying'er wanted to help.

The Sandman thought of some things, while adjusting the size of the bone tree outside the template, and using tentacles to clear the way, first planting a small one in the old well in the south of the city.

"Come on, tell me, what can you do?"

"That won't work either, I have to blow up this altar today." Li Yue had disliked Barren Desolation City ever since he entered it.

"Close the door, close the door..." The Sandman even called on the Snow Country mages to hurry up.

"I know where the starting point of the sandstorm is..." Li Yue sensed the emotional points lighting up Barren Desolation City on the map, and Ying'er of course also deconstructed many, many details.

Barren Desolation City was boiling.

Even in the cold Barren Desolation City, we are fully armored, but fortunately we don't wear our large cloaks, which are used as bedding and laid on the ground.

"Need to be faster..." Daiya realized that the speed of the locusts gnawing exceeded the self-healing speed of the bone tree. Once it was gnawed through, the explosion might be delayed.

So, the locusts gnawing at the ice lake, could it still be the underlying logic of being "very thirsty"?

There is no vitality, only the broken bones being gnawed, and the quicksand slowly leaking to the ground.

One the other hand, the large amount of goodwill suddenly stopped.

The giant sword was inserted, and the locusts of the entire city seemed to have exploded from their nest, all flying towards the Sandman.

The Sandman originally wanted to drill into the ice, but found that the tentacles had difficulty absorbing the heat of the ice lake, and couldn't get in for a while.

As for the broken bones and the like, they were all dealt with by Wang Mu with a single sword.

【Hehe, Daddy thinks I'm very helpful.】

【Gained +4444 Destiny, +4444.】

The ritual lines of the sandstorm are hidden underground, relatively chaotic, but there are three intersections, namely a post station in the west of the city, a dry well in the south of the city, and a market in the east of the city.

They didn't seem to care much about the crushed insect eggs.

The ground in the south of the city was filled, the insect eggs ruptured, and then swelled up; they drilled in upside down.

Shaw's tattered robe only adjusted the Sandman's aura to be consistent with Daiya's. The locusts usually cannot harm Li Yue, but absolutely do not allow Li Yue to fight back.

Then there was not one loud noise, eight loud noises, and a violent earthquake.

Li Yue understood.

However, Barren Desolation City is barren and dry, which actually brings some convenience to Daiya—just need to adjust the bone tree to be smaller, and can directly stuff it in, otherwise have to use tentacles to prop it up well.

"Okay..." Ying'er said, while marking several key points of the sandstorm magic in the Sandman's mind.

When the Sandman pushed away the swarm of insects, he was stunned to find that on the thick layer of locusts, the surface was actually barren, almost crumbling at a touch.

The hollow ground shook violently, and lava and broken bones rushed over, covering all the air.

Although many demons and great figures in the mainland have forgotten the Sandman, the Old Goat may have a way to remember again.

How could this be... the nest exploded?
