Actually, there was. The only similarity between the food in Hell and the human world was wine.
Although the ingredients were different, it had a different flavor.
At least Chen Zhao could drink it and it didn't have any weird effects.
"This is wine that only we Gluttons have. How do you think it compares to human wine?"
"It's delicious, but there seems to be some kind of fishy smell in it. Could it be brewed with blood?"
"Yes, it's the Goat of Misfortune from Hell. The main liquid is its blood."
"Will there be any side effects?"
"The first time you drink it, no matter if you're a human or a demon, you'll have bad luck."
"What bad luck? Will I get into trouble? "
"You'll understand in the future …"
"Why do I feel so uneasy?"
"Human, I know you're in some trouble. I think this can give you some help."
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Beelzebub. "What's your goal?"
Just then, Beelzebub took out a strange black blade and stabbed it into the table before Chen Zhao.
"What do you mean?"
"This is my demonic ritual implement."
"For me?"
"Yes, for you."
"How will this affect me?"
"No. I can guarantee that it won't affect you at all."
"I don't believe you."
"Next time you summon me, take my demonic ritual implement."
"What will happen?"
"That way, you can summon more of my power. I can also help you do more things. I can even take care of that female killer."
"Of course, no problem." Chen Zhao chuckled and pulled out the black blade. It landed in his hand and turned into a small dagger. It didn't look bigger than a fruit knife.
"Oh, didn't you say you already have 15 children? Where are your children? How come I don't see them? "
"Are you sure you want to see my children?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Aida, let our children out."
Let them out? What did that mean?
Aida picked up a wooden stick beside her and knocked on the mountain wall.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the depths of the cave.
Then, Chen Zhao saw a group of fat meatballs crawl out. He jumped up from the table.
They looked like larvae, but they were hundreds of times bigger. Each of them weighed around 15 kilograms and were white and chubby.
"This … they …"
"Yes, they are my children."
"Will they transform into you or your wife when they reach adulthood?" Chen Zhao imagined what they would look like after breaking out of their cocoons and becoming butterflies.
"Maybe."
"What do you mean maybe?"
"Aida and I are of different races. Our children have a certain chance of inheriting either my or her bloodline. However, there is a higher chance that they will grow into evil demonic beasts."
"Demonic beasts? What kind? "
"When you came in, didn't you see a group of things with black wings in the forest below?"
Chen Zhao remembered. When he'd been sitting on Beelzebub's palm, he'd indeed seen a group of monsters running in the forest. However, the monsters looked different. Other than having black wings, they were completely different. Chen Zhao had thought that they didn't belong to the same species.
"Those demonic beasts are my brothers."
Chen Zhao's jaw dropped. "They're your brothers?"
It turned out that they weren't just the same species. They had the same father.
Their brothers were actually sitting in front of him right now.
"If they weren't my brothers, I would've killed them when they entered my territory. After I split from my father, I also shouldered the responsibility of taking care of my brothers. There are 20 brothers who can't inherit my bloodline, so they're sent to me. I'll take care of them and give them a place to live."
Beelzebub paused. "In the future, most of these children will also become demonic beasts. Then, they'll be taken care of by their brothers who have inherited their bloodline."
"So these demons who can't inherit their bloodline can only live their lives aimlessly?"
"What's wrong with that? There's someone to take care of them."
"How old are they now?"
"Six months. Next month, we'll know if any of them have inherited my or Aida's bloodline."
Beelzebub took out a very small demonic crystal. "Mash this and mix it into their food."
"Is demonic crystal useful to them?"
"It's more likely to activate our bloodline in their bodies."
…
"Are you full? Do you want to go for a walk?"
"Is it dangerous?"
"This is my territory. You won't run into any danger. In fact, as a living person, you'll almost never be hurt by any demon."
"Are living people that respected in Hell?"
"It's not noble, it's just that they're too rare. The last person to come to Hell was 900 years ago. Even if the Demon King found you, he wouldn't do anything to you. I can guarantee this. Although we demons have a strong desire to destroy, all our killing and destruction have a purpose."
"If that's the case, let's go for a walk."
Actually, Chen Zhao was also very curious about Hell. Beelzebub brought him to his territory, the Black Mountain Village at the foot of the mountain.
There were about 100 families of demons in Black Mountain Village. Of course, there were quite a lot of them. After all, demons were very fertile.
In the largest family, a couple had more than a thousand offspring.
Just like in human society, the more children there were, the heavier the burden.
Not every race could grow as fast as Beelzebub's children, who could grow into a complete body in six or seven months.
"Master Vito, are you here to inspect your territory?" A big-eared monster stood at the entrance of the village, welcoming Beelzebub's arrival.
The monster's ears were like palm-leaf fans. He was also much taller than humans, more than three meters tall.
However, compared to Beelzebub, he was half as tall and only one-tenth as heavy.
"No, this is my friend. He's from the human world. He's a living person. I brought him here to take a look."
"A living person?" The big-eared monster looked at Chen Zhao. "Hello, respected living person. Your arrival has filled Black Mountain Village with glory. The last guest was the Nightmare Lord from 300 years ago, but you're even more honorable. Please allow me to offer my most sincere respect to you."
"You're too polite. I'm very happy to be a guest in Hell."
"This is my demonic ritual implement. If you can accept it, it'll be the best reward for me." The big-eared monster held a strange wooden staff with both hands. There was a gem made of an unknown material on the staff.
"Err …"
"He's a hybrid demon without any subordinates. He's the lowest type of demon. However, if you're happy, you can summon and order him around at will. There's no need for any sacrifice. Of course, if you're happy, you can also give him some rewards."
"Summon at will? Is it different from summoning you? "
"I have a subordinate. I'm under Beelzebub the Glutton. Don't compare me to him, but hybrid demons have their own merits too."
"What merits?"
"A few or dozens of generations ago, he also had a noble bloodline. However, after continuous hybridization, just like my and Aida's offspring, we hybridized with demons of other bloodlines. After a few generations, the bloodline was completely messed up. That's why he's like this. Maybe a certain bloodline suddenly awakened and gave him a certain ability. For example, his big ears. I don't know which bloodline it is, but it allows him to hear further. Of course, if he's purely a fighting force, he can probably face five humans alone."
