Daemon General Milliped
No vicious or terrifying daemonic beast could make Li Qingshan behave like this. However, what he saw was not a beast, but a person. More accurately, it was a fatty with a fair complexion, lying among the empty jars of alcohol on the ground.
His head was smooth and clean, and he wore a pink cloak that revealed his white belly. His body exuded a strong demonic aura and the smell of alcohol.
As a result, Li Qingshan made a very simple calculation. What did a daemon and a human form equal?
Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath and swallowed the curse he was about to blurt out. The person who had come to eat his food was actually a Daemon General!
He had only seen two Daemon Generals in his life, a cat and a rat. Xuanyue was doted on by thousands of people. Even the rat was the king of the Black Rat Mountain. It was bossy and majestic.
A mighty Daemon General would be someone on the same level as Wang Pushi in the human world, standing above billions of people. How could he do something as lowly as stealing food?
As a result, he had never considered this from the very beginning. Afterwards, he was viciously slapped in the face by the cruel reality. Perhaps he still held a sliver of hope that the poison in the alcohol would take effect.
However, the bald Daemon General's rising and falling belly and his thunderous snoring completely dispelled all of Li Qingshan's hopes. This bastard was not poisoned at all. He was drunk.
Li Qingshan and Little Ann exchanged glances. Li Qingshan backed off slowly, and Little Ann controlled the Iron Plate corpse to back off slowly too. They had originally dug a hole to guard against wolves, but who would have thought that they would make it through a bear hole? They could no longer stay in the manor.
Clang!
The bald Daemon General in the pink cloak scratched his belly and knocked over a jar of alcohol.
However, it was like a clap of thunder in Li Qingshan's ears. He immediately stopped. Only after a long while did he continue backing off slowly after seeing that there was no more movement. True qi formed a thick cushion of air under his feet, ensuring that he would not make any sound at all.
Under Little Ann's control, the Iron Plate corpse landed on the ground nimbly.
The bald Daemon General suddenly opened his eyes. In a strange posture, he wriggled and stood up from the ground. First, he stood on his calves, then his thighs, and then his upper body. He looked at Li Qingshan and Little Ann with a wooden expression.
Li Qingshan only felt a chill rising from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head, and then broke through the sky and emerged. It was a Fiendish Demon's instinct for danger. He was even more convinced that this Daemon General was not someone he could deal with in his current state.
He waved his hand and threw out ten talismans, all of which were Body Securing Talismans. Seven of them were low-grade talismans and three of them were middle-grade talismans. He did not hope to kill the enemy, but only hoped to freeze the demon general in place for a moment so that he could escape with Little Ann.
The bald Daemon General did not seem like he had completely woken up from his drunkenness. The ten talismans were stuck to his entire body with great precision. There was even one on his face.
Li Qingshan thought about how lucky he was. At the same time, he stuck a middle-grade Swift Breeze talisman on his leg and immediately rushed out of the secret room. As soon as he turned around, his eyes narrowed, and he came to a sudden halt.
The bald Daemon General was standing right in front of him. Their faces were basically right next to each other. The Body Securing Talismans on him rapidly melted away, until there was nothing left, revealing his wooden face.
Only from this angle did Li Qingshan discover that the Daemon General was not particularly fat. His entire body was round and elongated. As he stood there, he was actually slightly taller than Li Qingshan. He bent over and stared straight at Li Qingshan with his bulging eyes. It was an indescribably terrifying and strange sight.
With a thought from Little Ann, he moved his finger, and the Iron Plate corpse rushed over and grabbed the Daemon General. Li Qingshan used this opportunity to retreat in a hurry.
The bald Daemon General shuddered, and a pink gas sprayed out from his body. The Iron Plate corpse that lunged over seemed to have stepped into a pool of sulfuric acid. With a sizzling sound, white smoke rose up from its body. Its tough body that had been refined from refined refined metal was completely corroded away in the blink of an eye. All that was left was a ball of pale red flames, which flew back into Little Ann's hand.
The Iron Plate corpse that could kill sixth layer Qi Practitioners had actually only made a single move, and it had not even extended its hand.
Li Qingshan was shocked. He became extremely fearful of the pink gas.
The bald Daemon General moved extremely quickly. There was no pattern to his movements, but he could not escape. However, he could not escape just by running. He unleashed his violent daemon qi and immediately became ten meters tall, smashing through the ground above him. He grabbed Xiao An and tossed her away. "You go first!"
The pink gas spread over rapidly, enveloping Li Qingshan. Sizzling sounds rang out everywhere in the secret room. Large swathes of the stone floor softened and collapsed. Pitiful Li Qingshan still wanted to use poison against him. Only now did he witness what true poison was.
Within the steaming pink gas, an azure, spherical barrier composed of countless hexagons protected Li Qingshan's surroundings, blocking the corrosion of the pink gas. Li Qingshan eased up inside. Fortunately, the defences of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell were tough enough. All he needed to think about now was how to escape.
With a stomp of his iron hooves, all of his explosive power poured into his hooves. The ground cracked and collapsed inch by inch, and his body of steel creaked. He seemed to use this power to rush into the air.
However, the bald Daemon General assumed an extremely strange posture again. He leaned forward and aimed his bald head at Li Qingshan. His tall body shrank drastically, like a spring that had been squeezed viciously before suddenly loosening up.
Li Qingshan only saw a blurry figure smash towards him, ten times faster than he had rushed into the air.
Thump!
A large crack appeared on the indestructible Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell. Li Qingshan was sent flying horizontally, smashing through who knew how many walls and becoming deeply embedded in the soil.
He was filled with shock. Having just achieved the strength of two oxen, he had absolute confidence in his strength, but the Daemon General was actually more than ten times stronger than him.
The bald Daemon General bounced onto the ground and rubbed his bald head in a daze. He raised his head and looked at Li Qingshan, as if he had never thought that he would fail to smash through Li Qingshan's Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell.
At this moment, two prayer beads whistled down from above as they revolved, directly striking the bald Daemon General's bald head.
The Daemon General raised his head, and a petite figure landed behind him with lightning speed. Green-red flames blazed all over her body. She used all of her strength, turning a portion of her flesh and blood into flames as she stabbed out with the most violent strike of her life.
Li Qingshan was surprised instead of delighted. He called out, "Idiot, run!" The Daemon General was not someone that could be defeated with a little trick like this. Ignoring the poison, he threw out a punch as hard as he could.
The Daemon General did not dodge. He said slowly, "You're daemons? Why are you hitting me? "Although it was rather muffled, Li Qingshan still heard it clearly.
Suddenly, like an invisible hand had pressed a pause button, Li Qingshan's fist stopped before the Daemon General, while Little Ann's hidden blade was still three inches away from the bald head. Even the descending Skull Prayer Beads stopped above the Daemon General's head.
Li Qingshan slowly pulled back his fist and laughed dryly. "Fair enough. Daemons don't fight daemons!" He shot a glance at Little Ann. "Why don't you come over here?" Little Ann stowed the hidden blade away and the prayer beads away and returned to Li Qingshan's side.
Li Qingshan reverted to human form and clasped his hands. "May I ask for sir Daemon General's name? I am Heishan. I've cultivated in the mountains for five hundred years and have barely managed to assume human form. I didn't want to offend sir Daemon General, so I've truly sinned."
"I'm Milliped. What do you mean by offending? What's sinned?" Milliped asked blankly.
Li Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief. He was certain that Milliped was not angry about what had just happened. This fellow's brain did not seem to be working very well. His reaction was very slow.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. Wasn't a milliped a millipede? This fellow was actually a milliped demon. No wonder he was so strong and fast. Furthermore, his reaction was so slow.
He had once heard Xuanyue talk about daemons. Daemons with flesh and blood were generally divided into four types: Scale, Fur, Feather, and Kun.
Scale referred to the water race, fur referred to land beasts, feathers referred to birds, and insects referred to insects.
Among them, insects were the most numerous and varied. There were countless insect daemons, and no one knew how many insect daemons there were in the world.
This was because insects were born with no intelligence and acted purely on instinct. That was why there were many daemons that could become daemons. However, there were not many daemons that could form a daemon core or reach a higher realm.
However, insect daemons were usually the strongest. Be it in terms of strength, speed, endurance, or vitality, they far surpassed daemons of the same level.
An ant could carry four hundred times its own weight, while a flea could jump a hundred times its own distance. It could jump once every four seconds for seventy-eight hours. There was no need to mention the vitality of a cockroach. These tiny creatures at the bottom of the food chain would immediately leap to the top of the food chain once they had the chance to become daemons, becoming the most terrifying predators.
However, insect daemons had a fatal flaw. They had very low intelligence. Even if they could form a daemon core and gain intelligence, they would not be able to become intelligent. This was the so-called weakness of intelligence.
An idea formed in Li Qingshan's mind. He questioned, "Milliped, why are you eating my food?"
Milliped said, "I didn't know it was yours. No, it's all mine. It's something from underground."
Li Qingshan asked, "Do you still want to eat?"
"Yes!" Milliped opened his mouth, and saliva flowed out.
Li Qingshan said, "There's no more food here. There's plenty above ground. Hurry up and eat!"
Milliped shook his head like a rattle drum. "You can't go above ground."
"Why?"
A hint of fear appeared on Milliped's stiff face. "It's an order. I can't disobey it."
Li Qingshan was delighted. He had been able to get information out of him so easily. This Milliped was indeed stupid. He was much easier to deal with than that clever Xuanyue. Intelligence was always the most important standard for a living being. Humans relied on this advantage to suppress thousands of demons with their own strength. If one's brain was not enough, it would all be for naught, no matter how powerful they were.
"There's nothing left here. I'll go up and get you some more, alright?"
"Alright, alright. Hurry up, hurry up!" Milliped's eyes lit up as he urged.
It was that simple! Li Qingshan was slightly taken aback. It was so simple that he felt a little embarrassed. In order to be more convincing, he asked, "Then what do you like to eat?"
