34: This is no ordinary monster.

The next day, at noon, in the spot where Chen De stood yesterday.

At this moment, it was already surrounded by densely packed Demon Beasts.

They were roughly divided into two factions: one was the native faction from the west, and the other was the refugee faction from outside.

The two factions were mutually hostile, with very clear boundaries between them, indicating a very poor relationship.

Within the refugee faction, there were two groups: the east and the north.

The eastern group was slightly stronger, while the northern group was a bit weaker.

Originally, the relationship between the eastern and northern groups wasn't that good either, but at this moment, both were outsiders who had come here. Compared to the native Demon Beasts, they were both the weaker party.

Under such circumstances, they naturally banded together for warmth.

Compared to their past grievances, surviving in the present was clearly more important.

So, although there were some boundaries between the Demon Beasts of the east and north, they were not obvious.

Chen De watched the continuous stream of Demon Beasts rushing towards the area, and as more and more Demon Beasts gathered, a benevolent smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After a long time, fewer and fewer Demon Beasts arrived, with only a few intermittent ones still coming.

The Demon Beasts in front of him also seemed a bit impatient. Chen De thought to himself that not many more Demon Beasts would come if he waited any longer, so he decided to start.

Thus, Chen De released his Demon Origin Realm aura and pressure, signaling the Demon Beasts to stop making noise.

When Chen De's Demon Qi Realm fifth-level peak pressure was unleashed without reservation, all the affected Demon Beasts trembled uncontrollably under the oppression.

The scene instantly fell silent.

Chen De scanned the Demon Beasts in front of him, then smiled kindly, "Everyone, I first have an announcement to make: all of you Demon Beasts, from this moment on, are to go and search for mid-grade spirit herbs and then hand them over to me."

All the Demon Beasts' minds went blank. How could this be? Didn't they say they came here to receive spirit herbs?

Why did they have to hand over spirit herbs instead? This wasn't what was agreed upon!

Immediately, some thick-headed Demon Beasts voiced their doubts, though they didn't dare directly challenge Chen De's authority.

After all, from his performance just now, Chen De was even stronger than Azure Winged Mosquito Demon. So, kneeling, he said to Chen De, "Moral Rat King Sir, how can this be? This isn't what we agreed upon yesterday!

Did you misremember?

Look, I even have the spirit herb you gave out yesterday."

Saying this, that Demon Beast took out the spirit herb Chen De had distributed yesterday.

Chen De saw that this one had been here yesterday. It seemed that it had played a part in so many Demon Beasts coming today!

However, although this Demon Beast had made a great contribution, Chen De always handled matters officially. No matter who it was, Chen De would firmly stand his ground and not easily change his attitude.

So, Chen De kindly explained to that Demon Beast, "You didn't mishear, and I didn't say anything wrong. I just want you to go and search for spirit herbs for me.

See, I've repeated it again. Have you heard clearly now?"

As he spoke, Chen De even increased the pressure on that Demon Beast.

That Demon Beast was about to speak after hearing this, but suddenly felt an boundless pressure Attack upon him, making him unable to breathe.

However, he thought that the future might be even harder than when Azure Winged Mosquito Demon was around.

After all, as a clan leader, he had to consider his fellow clan members.

So he still endured, panting and speaking haltingly, "Moral, Moral Rat King Sir! You, didn't you say you wouldn't, wouldn't exploit us like Azure Winged Mosquito Demon! And you even promised us, didn't you?"

Under Chen De's deliberate pressure, after saying these words, this Demon Beast was clearly struggling to hold on.

Chen De listened, looking incredulous, and trembling, asked all the Demon Beasts, "Did I really do something wrong?

Spirit herbs are the source of all evil. I just want to stop this source of evil alone. Isn't everything I do for your own good?

Do you all think so too?"

The Demon Beasts saw Chen De's regretful appearance and thought there was still a chance for Chen De to retract his order. They believed there was still hope and were overjoyed in their hearts.

At this moment, they no longer wanted the spirit herbs Chen De had promised; they just wanted Chen De to retract his command.

So they all said they thought so too, and that Chen De had also promised not to exploit them.

Chen De looked at the Demon Beasts in front of him, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Somewhat disbelieving!

That Demon Beast just now was, was, was—

Too shameless!

They were, they were morally blackmailing him, Chen De!

He, Chen De, was being morally blackmailed today!

The past was the past, and now was now. Yet they were bringing up past matters now, wasn't that moral blackmail?

They were actually trying to morally blackmail such a moral person. Such evil deeds were simply courting death.

Even the kind Chen De was disgusted by their shamelessness.

At this moment, Chen De felt a bit fortunate. Fortunately, truly moral people would not be morally blackmailed.

Because morality is not indulgence. Truly moral people dare to put themselves in an immoral situation for the sake of true morality.

And Chen De not being morally blackmailed at this time precisely proved that Chen De was a moral person.

Chen De hadn't expected it!

He hadn't expected a group of Demon Beasts to learn moral blackmail.

These Demon Beasts were too cunning. These were no longer ordinary Demon Beasts; he had to strike hard.

So Chen De immediately struck, blowing up the head of the Demon Beast that had raised objections earlier.

Blood splattered on the surrounding Demon Beasts.

Chen De then didn't pause, and struck again with cruel hands, blowing up the several Demon Beasts that had been the most vocal just now.

At this point, the body of the Demon Beast whose head Chen De had blown up slowly fell.

The Demon Beasts were also greatly frightened by Chen De's actions. They hadn't expected Chen De to suddenly lash out.

They immediately wanted to scatter and flee, to quickly leave this place.

But since Chen De dared to call them here, he had naturally made thorough preparations. Since they had come, they shouldn't think of escaping.

Chen De immediately acted, restraining all the Demon Beasts that wanted to escape.

He made sure none of those Demon Beasts could run away.

Then he struck again, leaving the fastest fleeing Demon Beasts to rot in the wilderness.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, those Demon Beasts then chose to come around Chen De, kneeling before him one after another, begging Chen De to spare their lives.

So, Chen De placed the Blood Mark Magic Heart Curse on each of them.

This was a new skill Chen De acquired after his evolution. In combat, it not only had the functions of the original Heavenly Revelation Aurora Seal.

In daily life, it also had the characteristics of the blood-colored mark that Shadow Wolf King had placed on Chen De before.

However, this characteristic was only useful for beings whose cultivation was far lower than his own.

Currently, it was perfect for this occasion.

Although Chen De's cultivation at this time was much lower than Shadow Wolf King's back then.

However, Chen De didn't need to be like Shadow Wolf King, who would detonate certain beings outside the mark's host.

He only needed to detonate the mark's host itself, and coupled with Chen De's much higher bloodline awakening level than Shadow Wolf King's.

So, it consumed less demonic energy, and the mark's effect was better.

It was simply effortless to deal with these Demon Qi Realm Demon Beasts in front of him.
