Chapter 2055: Chapter 209: Lici’s Grand Arrival! All Demons in Peril

“This is…” Wang Licui sniffed the [Youming Zijin Lotus], revealing a very interested expression as she swallowed and said, “Although I don’t know what this is, it looks delicious.”

Even though this [Youming Zijin Lotus] is not the top innate variety but a counterfeit disguised as a Youming Golden Lotus, it is still an extremely rare Heaven and Earth Treasure, comparable to that previous Meat Ganoderma.

Within Wang Licui’s bloodline sensing, it remains something that makes her drool.

“Still, Lici sister is amazing, she can eat anything.” Lan Wanyi showed a look of envy and admiration.

She also has a devouring bloodline talent, and relying on the characteristics of the bloodline, her bloodline talent has also increased quite a bit over the years, but compared to Wang Licui’s anything-devouring characteristic, she is still far behind.

This strangely shaped budding lotus carries an extreme yin and eerie flavor, its energy is pure and domineering, she doesn’t dare to consume too much recklessly. At most, when Lici eats the main part, she would follow to taste a few lotus petals.

“Squeak squeak~” The Burrow Mother Rat rubbed the Big Mouse affectionately, seemingly expressing: See, I didn’t deceive you, right? Now I’ve done a great job, haven’t I?

“Squeak squeak squeak!”

The Big Mouse responded haughtily with a few words, immediately making the Burrow Mother Rat quite happy, circling around the Big Mouse excitedly.

“Lici sister.” Lan Wanyi asked curiously, “What did the Big Mouse promise the mother mouse?”

“It seems to have promised to spend more days with it and to have a few more litters of little mice.” Wang Licui said, half guessing.

“Indeed a Trashy Rat.” Lan Wanyi couldn’t help but cast a deep disdaining look at the Big Mouse.

“I feel this thing isn’t fully matured yet; if we wait a bit longer, until it’s fully ripened, the effect of eating it will surely be better.” Wang Licui resisted the impulse to swallow that lotus instantly, her foodie instincts were profoundly apparent at this moment. “I have a strong feeling, it won’t be long before it blooms maturely.”

“Then, shall we wait a little longer?” Lan Wanyi suggested, “I’ve heard some Spiritual Medicines need to be picked at the very moment of maturity for the best effect. Such a good thing would be a waste to eat before it’s thoroughly matured.”

“Trashy Rat.” Wang Licui beckoned the Big Mouse.

It immediately trotted over.

Wang Licui carefully instructed it. The Big Mouse understood instantly, then cleverly called over the mother mouse and gave a series of squeaky instructions.

Then, the mother mouse also cleverly began to burrow into the tunnel, instructing its descendants to begin monitoring this cellar, ready to report any movements.

Wang Licui and others have already viewed this [Youming Zijin Lotus] as theirs, and after laying down a thorough trap, the two humans and two mice swaggered into the tunnel, leaving behind.

During the waiting period for the Youming Zijin Lotus to bloom, they’d operate underground in the Scarlet Demonic King Fort, becoming underground rulers for a while.

As for food!?

Haha~ Can the massive Scarlet Demonic King Fort ’not afford’ Wang Licui and her crew?

Stealing Demonic Clan’s food was no burden at all for Wang Licui and Lan Wanyi; instead, they felt a sense of success in indirectly suppressing enemy forces.

By comparison, it was actually the food’s taste that they found difficult to adapt to, being used to delicacies.

…

Meanwhile.

A caravan composed of over a hundred giant Cord Camel Beast traders was migrating toward the Scarlet Demonic King Fort from other fortress directions.

The Cord Camel Beast is a distinctive large magic beast unique to the Demonic World. Its body is huge, its temperament relatively gentle, and it’s easy to maintain. It was domesticated by the Demonic Clan long ago as a beast of burden.

The largest Cord Camel Beast can weigh two to three hundred tons, slightly heavier than the largest dinosaurs on Earth. Its appearance somewhat resembles a cross between an elephant and a camel, with a robust body and limbs effortlessly carrying dozens of tons of cargo.

What’s most remarkable is its relatively fast speed, able to traverse mountains with ease.

This is why many major supply and transport goods of the Demonic Clan are handled by Cord Camel Beasts.

Of course, the Demonic Clan also has some advanced flying magic beasts transports, airships, and other transportation tools. But all of them require demon crystals extensively, and their cargo capacity might not even be high. Considering transportation efficiency and cost, Cord Camel Beasts are undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice.

In fact, after that fierce battle with the Human race, the Demonic Clan’s homeland also suffered tremendous impacts, and the civilization experienced a rupture. The current Demonic Clan is no longer the high-end race that could dominate the Divine Martial Dynasty.

From a certain standpoint, the final desperate fight by the Divine Martial Saint Emperor back then affected the Demonic Clan even more than the Human race.

Unfortunately, that history is so long past that most of it has been lost to time. The current Demonic Clan has few who remember that history and their former glory.

The backs of the Cord Camel Beasts are very broad, and they advance steadily, so the Demonic Clan traders like to set up semi-fixed tents on them as temporary dwellings. This way, the long journey becomes more comfortable.
