The bird demon named Screech was trembling with fear at this moment, yet its eyeballs were rolling around wildly in their sockets.
Hearing the black-faced demon king’s question, it hurriedly spoke up. “Grandpa Demon King, don’t kill me. I’ll tell you everything!
No, I’ll lead the way for you!!”
The two demon kings exchanged a smile upon hearing this. They had originally prepared to forcibly attack Black Wind Mountain, but they never expected the demons of Black Wind Mountain to be so spineless.
“Hahahahaha…!”
“It seems the demons of Black Wind Mountain are nothing special after all. So cowardly as to be like this, it saves us quite a bit of trouble!”
One of them, an old man clad in a red robe, immediately burst into loud laughter.
The black-faced demon king, however, furrowed his brows slightly and turned to Screech, saying sternly, “You, a mere low-level demon, how do you know the whereabouts of that toad demon?
Are you not trying to deceive this king just to save your own skin?
Or do you have some other motive?!”
The black-faced demon king’s words startled Screech inwardly, but on the surface, it put on a look as if it were about to cry from fright, saying with a bitter face, “Grandpa Demon King, please calm your anger. This little demon’s life is now in your hands. How would I dare deceive you?
You are a mighty demon king. Not to mention this little demon, even my family’s Toad Great King would have to kneel and beg for mercy upon seeing you. What motive could there possibly be?
As for the Toad Great King’s seclusion spot, it is something every demon on the mountain knows full well. How could I deceive you two Grandpa Demon Kings with that?
This little demon dares not ask for anything else, only that after leading the way this time, you two Grandpa Demon Kings spare my life!”
“Is that really the case?”
The black-faced demon king frowned and glanced down at Black Wind Mountain, seeing not a single demon there.
“Grandpa Demon King, you see clearly. Even if you gave me a hundred times the courage, this little demon would never dare deceive you!” Screech said with a face full of fear.
“Brother Bai, you are too cautious. I think this little demon does not have the guts to deceive us.
Besides, whether it is true or false, we will know once he leads us there.”
The red-robed old man spoke dismissively, then turned to the trembling bird demon Screech with a ferocious grin. “If this little demon truly dares to deceive us, we can always crush his bones and scatter his ashes later!”
“Moreover, Black Wind Mountain is under the protection of the Fire Phoenix after all. We cannot make too much noise.
If we can directly kill that toad demon, that would naturally be the best choice and save us from further complications.”
“Brother Huo, you make a fair point!”
The black-faced demon king nodded, then waved his hand casually. The bird demon Screech, bound by demonic power, immediately floated over to him.
“This king will now release your bindings. Lead the way ahead. If you dare play any tricks, this king will ensure you are reduced to ashes!”
The black-faced demon king warned, then casually lifted the bindings around Screech’s body. Meanwhile, the red-robed old man beside him smiled at Screech and said, “Little bird demon, you and I are both demons skilled in flight, so we can consider ourselves kin. Rest assured, as long as you serve us diligently, we naturally will not harm you.
Moreover, if you can help us kill that toad demon, this king might even make an exception and take you under my command!”
Upon hearing this, Screech’s expression lit up with great joy, and it said excitedly, “Grandpa Demon Kings, rest assured! This little demon will definitely help you two kill that mangy toad!”
“That damned mangy toad is so ugly, yet he is narcissistic every single day.
Not only that, he uses the name of demon king to forcibly occupy all the female demons of our Black Wind Mountain. We little demons have long been fed up with him!
If you two Grandpa Demon Kings can kill him this time, it would truly benefit all the brothers of Black Wind Mountain!”
After cursing like this, Screech flew ahead to lead the way.
The two demon kings were both pleased to see this, thinking to themselves that this toad demon evidently did not have the support of the demons on Black Wind Mountain. Was this not exactly to their advantage?
To save the demons of Black Wind Mountain, they would strike in righteous anger, slay the tyrannical demon king, and be praised by the masses. How perfect!
Most importantly, they had learned from Screech that the toad demon was currently in seclusion.
Was this not a heaven-sent opportunity!
Following Screech’s lead, the three demons soon flew away from Black Wind Mountain and arrived at a chaotic rocky cavern.
“Grandpa Demon Kings, this is the Toad Great King’s seclusion spot!”
Screech said cautiously, then waved its hand grandly. Demonic winds arose immediately, directly hurling many scattered rocks away.
A cave entrance appeared directly before the two great demon kings.
“Grandpa Demon Kings, at this moment, the Toad Great King is surely still in seclusion. This little demon will go in right now to wake him, so you two can slay him!”
Screech said, then prepared to step towards the cave entrance.
“Wait!”
The black-faced demon king surnamed Bai suddenly called out to stop Screech, then pointed a finger. A strand of demonic power swept out, directly wrapping around Screech.
With a wave of this demon king’s hand, Screech was immediately pulled by the demonic power and flung to the side, crashing heavily to the ground.
“Ouch!”
Screech cried out in pain, then said angrily with a face full of fury, “What are you doing?!”
“Since that toad demon is still in seclusion, it is better not to wake him.
Leave the rest to us!”
The black-faced demon king spoke indifferently, then ignored Screech entirely. His gaze turned to the cave entrance as surging divine sense left his body and probed into the cave.
However, he soon furrowed his brows, for his divine sense could not reach the bottom after entering the cave entrance!
“There is something strange in this cave. This king’s divine sense cannot probe to the depths. There must be some formation or treasure affecting divine sense!”
Beside him, the red-robed old man spoke up, his expression turning grave.
“Brother Huo, you could not probe to the bottom either?”
The black-faced demon king looked at him in some surprise.
“Indeed, but that little demon should not be lying. Though I could not probe fully, I detected astonishing demonic energy within the cave, indicating a great demon is indeed lurking inside!”
After the red-robed old man finished speaking, he pondered briefly and then said, “In that case, Brother Bai, you go in first to scout. This king will provide support here.”
At these words, Screech, not far away, felt a chill inwardly and muttered nervously to itself, “These two old foxes are so cautious. Could they have guessed this is a trap?”
Just as Screech worried that the plan might be exposed, the black-faced demon king suddenly laughed. “Brother Huo, you are mistaken. Why need any support?
We two should enter together. That way, even if something unexpected happens, we can handle it better.
If there truly is something amiss, we strike simultaneously at that moment, and we could even pierce the earth itself. What is there to fear?!”
The red-robed demon king surnamed Huo was stunned upon hearing this, furrowed his brows, but still nodded. “Very well!”
With that, he also sent out a strand of demonic power to bind Screech, who had been preparing to slip away quietly, in place.
“Little one, we will be back soon. You had best not deceive us, or even if you are half-kin, this king will find it hard to protect you.”
The red-robed demon king turned his head and spoke to Screech with a smiling, amiable expression.
Screech’s face stiffened, and it forced a laugh. “Grandpa Demon King, you see clearly. This little demon absolutely dares not deceive you!”
“I should think not!”
The black-faced demon king sneered coldly, then turned to the red-robed demon king. They nodded to each other and flew towards the cave entrance simultaneously.
As soon as the two great demon kings entered the cave, a massive mountain seal came crashing down from the sky!
Boom!!
