156: Can a monster taking something from a human be called stealing?

On the other side.

When Lin Chuan and his group scrapped the transport vehicle, the younger brother in Huang Shan's car saw it through the rear window.

"Brother Huang, what's going on over there? Is there a situation?"

"Elder Wu is Diamond Rank, do you still want to get involved?"

"No, no..." The younger brother said with an embarrassed smile.

"Brother Huang, where are we going to have fun?" Another younger brother leaned over and asked.

"We'll be there soon!"

"Brother Huang, isn't your direction wrong? If you drive any further, you'll hit a Yao Beast nest."

The younger brother exclaimed.

Huang Shan floored the accelerator and rushed into the dense forest.

"Isn't it enough fun for me to take you to kill Yao Beasts?" Huang Shan said with a sinister smile.

"Damn it, I want to go home!"

One younger brother couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave.

Fortunately, this was just an ordinary Elite Rank nest, so there wasn't much danger if they were careful.

"Swish..."

His head split open directly, and a Commander Rank Blade Demon slowly withdrew its hand blade.

"I said kill Yao Beasts, didn't you understand?"

Instantly, Huang Shan's three Commander-level Demon Beasts surrounded the dozen or so younger brothers.

"Now, go kill Yao Beasts, understand?"

"Understood, Brother Huang, I'll go now..."

The younger brothers, not daring to say more, summoned their Beast Companions and began to clear out the Yao Beast nest...

"Master, please wait a moment."

"Once inside, everything as usual."

"Yes."

Saying that, Wu Chang took out a black box the size of a mobile phone from his ring.

The black box opened, revealing a string of unreadable buttons.

After Wu Chang operated it for a while, the black box beeped, then returned to its original state.

Five minutes later.

A Secret Realm gate slowly opened.

A person walked out from inside, and upon seeing Wu Chang, smiled and said, "Old Wu, why are you a bit late today?"

"Don't mention it, the car broke down halfway, so I walked. Don't tell the higher-ups."

"Minor matter, as long as the goods arrive, it's fine. Come in."

The person said, checked it, and finding no problems, led the way into the Secret Realm.

On this side of the Secret Realm, there was a stone hall located halfway up a mountain peak. Inside the mountain, there were many traces of excavation.

"Old Zhang, you've signed for the goods, I'm leaving first."

Wu Chang said, then walked out of the hall.

Leaving Old Zhang and a few guards to lock the twenty-odd "children" into different cells.

He told Underworld Eleven and the others not to act rashly unless their lives were in danger, and to await orders.

Lin Chuan also went out with Wu Chang.

Looking down from the mountainside, below was a city built around the mountain peak.

Dense buildings, as if on a pilgrimage, surrounded the entire mountain.

"Take me to see the city."

The invisibility time was almost up, so Lin Chuan planned to personally experience the local customs here.

"Alright."

Subsequently, the bruised and swollen Diamond Vulture was summoned, carrying the two of them, and flew down the mountain.

"Master, the humans in this Secret Realm, except for the hostages brought in, are mostly descendants of generations of Ten Thousand Demon Palace members, who never know what the outside world is like."

"Will these people also become food or hosts for Yao Beasts?"

"To sacrifice themselves for the Yao Beast Lords is their honor!"

Wu Chang said solemnly.

Even though he had recognized Lin Chuan as his Master, this ideology was still deeply ingrained.

"Damn it!"

Hearing Wu Chang say this, Lin Chuan knew what kind of brainwashing these humans had received, and estimated that they were beyond saving.

"How do you view Xuanwu City?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"Xuanwu City is our mortal enemy. The humans inside are just hostages. As long as they serve the Yao Beast Lords well, they will have a chance to transform into demons." Wu Chang recited with a blank expression.

"To hell with you!"

Lin Chuan was so angry that he directly kicked Wu Chang away.

If it weren't for the Vulture bravely saving its master, Wu Chang would have fallen to his death...

The layout of the entire Secret Realm was like an inverted nail.

The main forces of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace were concentrated on the mountain peak.

Below the mountain lived hundreds of thousands of people, leading a semi-modern, semi-agrarian life. After generations of construction, it was quite neatly planned. Further away, there were also many scattered villages.

The Ten Thousand Demon Palace's upper echelons had very simple requirements for them: to be self-sufficient and to procreate.

However, for some unknown reason, the human reproductive capacity in the Secret Realm was extremely poor. It was a very common phenomenon for a couple to have one child, which was considered a great blessing.

Therefore, apart from situations like the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, normal humans were rarely willing to stay in the Secret Realm indefinitely.

Lin Chuan revealed himself and followed behind Wu Chang, walking through the small city.

It was almost entirely residential, with no commercial activity, at most some places selling grain, and even then, it was in the form of bartering.

Working from sunrise to sunset.

If he hadn't seen a large bird descend from the sky, grab a pedestrian, tear him apart in a few moves and eat him, Lin Chuan would have thought this was some kind of paradise.

The other pedestrians saw this and had no reaction, staring blankly at everything, some even prostrating themselves.

The area below the mountain was completely a self-service snack stand for Yao Beasts. That it could develop to this point was probably the result of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace's restraint.

Otherwise, it would have been devoured in minutes.

Lin Chuan walked around for a while and lost interest, so he asked Wu Chang to arrange a quiet place to stay.

The warehouse was on the mountaintop, and Wu Chang couldn't approach it. Lin Chuan could only investigate it first before making plans...

"White Moon, come out for a bit."

"Lin Chuan, what's wrong?"

White Moon had been eating and drinking well these past few days and had gotten a bit fatter.

"Can you freely Transmigrate through this Secret Realm?"

Lest if his Clone was destroyed, White Moon would be trapped inside and it would be over.

"Yes, I can, but I can't send people out, they'll shatter into eight pieces."

White Moon gestured with her paw.

"What about the spatial Restriction of the warehouse?"

"That would be a bit difficult. At least, a small crack must be broken first, otherwise I would truly be trapped. Also, don't try it easily, or you'll be discovered immediately, you know."

"How do you know so much?"

"Oh, you humans are so annoying. You always like to set up spatial Restrictions at the drop of a hat. What's there to guard against? I'm just looking, not stealing. Hmph..."

Can a Yao Beast taking human things be called stealing?

Lin Chuan: ...

He guessed this Meow had often eyed the warehouses of Xuanwu City...

"Can you evade a King Rank's tracking?"

"Don't worry, as long as it's not someone like Old Man Kong, they definitely can't catch me."

Old Man Kong?

Lin Chuan had only seen him once, and then there was no news.

"You know Elder Kong?"

"Yes Meow, he even wanted to adopt me as his granddaughter, but I didn't agree."

"Why didn't you agree? If Elder Kong passed away, wouldn't you immediately become a rich woman!"

Lin Chuan said, wishing she had done better.

"How do you know Old Man Kong is older than me?" Bai Yue Meow said something astonishing.

Lin Chuan: ???

"Oh no, I seem to have said something extraordinary. I'll slip away first, talk later if anything comes up..."

After saying that, White Moon immediately vanished.

Lin Chuan: ???
