hell under construction

The germination rate of the potatoes brought back by Dimon is not high, and the area after planting the potatoes is only about ten square meters. It is only because of the large enough distance that Dimon left between the seedlings that such an area can be achieved.

The soil in Abyss Hell is fertile, and spacing can better promote the growth of potato seedlings. The potato planting cycle is about two months, and the survival can be seen in about two or three days.

Damon was worried that the temperature in the abyss hell would affect the growth of the plants, so he arranged for the demons to observe the planted seedlings at all times, and if they found anything abnormal, they must report it.

After tidying up the field, Damon took Asmodeus and Meris back to the castle.

Damon sat on the Demon King's throne and began to deal with official duties.

"During the time I was away, did anything happen in Abyss Hell?"

It was only then that Melis remembered what she was here for, and quickly said: "Master Demon King, I want to report something to the East Residential Area I manage, and I want to notify Lord Asmodai first, and report to you when you come back. I didn't expect to see Master Asmodai looking for death as soon as I came in, so I was anxious to stop Master Asmodai from forgetting the business for a while."

Asmodai pursed his lips and cried, "I'm not worried about something happening to Lord Demon King..."

"Okay, okay, I know that Asmodei, you are doing it for my own good," Damon quickly stopped Asmodei's sad little eyes, and asked Melis, "What's wrong with the Eastern District?"

Melis sighed: "The east of the residential area is close to the fire rat's lair. Many demons have been infested by the fire rat. They begged me to change houses."

Fire rats are one of the most common creatures in Abyss Hell except for slimes. Their appearance is similar to the rats in Damon's common sense, but their size is ten times larger. The most distinctive feature is that the fire rats drag a long Long tail with scorching flames burning on it.

Of course, flames are nothing to demons who can bathe in magma, but the fire rat's tail is drawn to the body, enough to make an adult demon faint from pain.

Fire rats are not as dangerous as lava lizards, nor do they eat demons, but their main food is fire pomegranates.

Devils basically feed on fire durian fruit. Facing their competitors for food, fire rats naturally dislike devils and always attack them from time to time.

The east side of the residential area built this time is just close to a fire rat's lair. As long as the demons pass by, the fire rat will appear with a big tail, give the demon a tail, and chase them and beat them up.

The demons of the East End were overwhelmed and had to ask Damon for help.

When Damon came to the residential area, several fire durian demons were being chased by the fire mouse and ran back, throwing the fire durian in their hands all over the ground.

Those demons were more or less injured, but fortunately Damon saw traces of the hemostatic magic pattern on their wounds. If it wasn't for the hemostatic magic pattern, the injured demons would bleed profusely and lose their strength. It is very likely that it will die under the tail of the fire rat.

Seeing a fire mouse was following a fleeing demon, the tail of the fire mouse was about to reach his back.

The fire rat's tail is thick and long, and the thin bones of this demon can be seen. If this demon is drawn, it will peel off its skin.

"careful!"

Daemon spread his wings and quickly flew in front of the demon, stretching out his arms to block the fire rat's attack.

"Snapped!"

The Fire Rat's tail suddenly landed on Damon's arm, making a loud noise.

"Hiss..." Damon gasped in pain, and saw that his arm was already red and swollen. If this shot landed on that thin demon, it would definitely kill him!

"Master Demon King!" Asmodai was anxious to fly over.

Seeing that the Fire Rat was about to attack again, Damon quickly reminded: "Don't come over! Everyone back up! Asmodai, you take the injured demon back to the residential area!"

Hearing Damon's order to the demon behind him, several demons spread their wings and flew back quickly.

The Fire Rat's tail quickly struck, and the strong wind hit his face. Damon stretched out his claws, and his slender and sharp nails collided with the tail. With a "stab", the Fire Rat's burning tail was directly cut off by Damon.

"Squeak—" I saw the fire mouse screamed, and sprinted away on all fours. The blood on its tail dripped all over the ground, looking very disgusting.

With a cold face, Damon shook off the blood on his hands, and looked at the remaining Fire Rats.

Those scarlet eyes were full of murderous intent.

The Fire Rat at the back huddled up, saw that his companion's tail had been cut off, picked up the fire durian fruit on the ground, and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that his companion had run away, the Fire Rat with a broken tail screamed and jumped away.

Damon breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to the residential area, knocked on the door, and said to the demons hiding in the courtyard house, "Okay, it's all right."

"Master Demon King, you are too powerful!" Asmodai poked out his eyes in the house and watched the whole process of Damon's battle with the Fire Rat, and praised Damon as soon as he went out: "The Fire Rat's tail is so thick, You can cut that thing off with one claw, you really deserve to be the Demon King!"

Collier, who was nearby, heard the movement here, and rushed over quickly, and saw Damon's red and swollen arm.

"Master Demon King! You are injured!" Collier hurriedly brought the red flame flower juice he made to Daemon: "Master Demon King, this is the flame flower juice I made, drink it quickly!"

Damon took two sips of it, the sweet taste lingered in his mouth, and the effect of the flame flower was also immediate. The redness and swelling on his arm that was pulled out by the fire mouse disappeared instantly, and the pain disappeared completely.

"My lord, it's my subordinate's fault that you got hurt, my lord!" Asmodai looked at Damon's arm distressedly, and wanted to touch Damon's arm with his palm, but he didn't dare to go over it.

Damon waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you, I didn't pay attention. You are also seriously injured, drink some to heal." He distributed the flame flower juice brought by Collier to the injured demons.

The demons who were chased by the fire mouse all the way thanked Dade and knelt down: "Thank you, Lord Demon King!"

The Fire Rat was dispersed by Daemon, and the demon crisis was temporarily lifted.The injured demon was given a cup of flame flower juice by one person, and he quickly recovered his strength.

The only bad thing is that the fire durian fruit they collected was taken away by the fire rat, so they can only continue to collect the fire durian fruit they need, or they will be hungry today.

However, they no longer dared to go in the direction where the fire rats had come before, so they could only change places and went in groups to look for fire durian fruits in the West District, where fire rats were less frequented.

Damon and the others gathered in the Demon King's castle to discuss countermeasures.

The fire rat tail that Damon cut off was also brought back by Damon and put aside, the flame on the tail was still burning.

Melis stood aside sadly. She was the team leader of the Eastern District. The Lord Demon King asked her to take charge of the Eastern District. She was the most anxious about such things happening in the Eastern District.

"Master Demon King, although the fire rats are gone for the time being, if they go out to collect fire durian fruits, the demons will definitely be attacked, so we have to find a way to deal with them."

Dimon naturally knew that this was not a long-term solution: "What do you think?"

"Master Demon King, those fire rats have rough skin and thick flesh, our ordinary demons can't resist the fire rat's attack at all..."

As a chef, Collier often went to collect fire durian fruit, and he was deeply troubled by fire rats.

Every time he and the few chef apprentices who followed him went out, they would come back with injuries of varying degrees.

This is also the reason why Collier often brings flame flower juice.

If there is no flame flower juice for treatment, those injured demons will not be healed, their injuries will worsen, and they may die.In the past, many demons died because of fire rat attacks.

The Fire Rat's skin is very thick and powerful, and one tail can smash a rock. Except for Damon, the demons in the abyss hell basically have no strength to parry the Fire Rat.

When the demons saw the Fire Rat, they could only fly away in a detour, not daring to be tough with them.

Damon frowned: "How many fire rats are there?"

"The number of fire rats seen in the East District under my jurisdiction is more than the number of demons... There are more fire rats distributed in other places, and we haven't counted them yet," Melis said with a worried face: "and The fire rat's reproductive ability is very fast, at least five cubs can be born in one litter, and they can grow up in less than three months..."

That is to say, if we want to eradicate the plague of rats, unless we kill them all, the fire rats have such a strong reproductive ability that once they are killed, another stubble will grow again.

But there are tens of thousands of fire rats in hell, and only Damon can fight against them. When Damon faces so many fire rats alone, when will he have to kill them?

Damon asked, "Does the Fire Rat have any natural enemies?"

When Damon asked this question, several demons fell silent.

"What?" Damon asked.

"This..." Asmodai sighed, "Yes, it's a lava lizard."

"Ah..." Daemon immediately understood what these demons meant.

Lava lizards are natural enemies to firerats, but they are also natural enemies to demons.

They had been attacked by lava lizards before and lost many friends and relatives in that attack.Therefore, when the lava lizard was mentioned, the expressions of several demons were not so good-looking.

If you expect the lava lizards to expel the fire rats, you might as well consider whether their demons will be exterminated by the lava lizards first... The method of using natural enemies to fight against them will not work.

Damon looked at the fire rat tail that he had cut off, and was a little dazed. He picked up the fire rat tail and weighed it in his hand. It was not light, and the fur was very hard. The flame on the tail was still burning, and the fire was still very strong.

He tentatively stretched out his finger to the flame on the fire rat's tail, and Damon immediately withdrew his hand from the heat.

"Hiss...the fire hasn't gone out yet..."

Damon felt that the tail seemed to be still alive, and he could even feel the warmth of his hands.
