"Damn it! The army is indeed more troublesome than martial arts masters!" Luo Chen frowned.
Although the attack power of these Mongol soldiers was almost negligible to him, their sheer numbers and concentrated attacks did cause him considerable trouble.
"Damn it, Little Jin, give me a whirlwind!"
Luo Chen patted the golden lion beast's back and immediately used the power of his advanced ice-attribute bloodline to freeze the rain of arrows in front of him.
Upon receiving Luo Chen's order, the golden-haired lion beast flapped its two enormous wings and then charged wildly into the ranks of the Yuan Mongol soldiers, sweeping and roaring continuously!
This immediately stirred up a whirlwind among the Mongol soldiers.
Once the crowd was thrown into disarray, the Mongol soldiers' volley of arrows lost its effectiveness and could not lock onto Luo Chen.
*Smack! Smack! Smack!*
The super thick, large, and long hunting whip lashed wildly, sweeping away everything in its path. Whether tall or short, strong or thin, they were all whipped into the Fallen Dust Monster Hunting Grounds.
Time passed slowly, and after a day and a night, as Luo Chen lashed out with his whip for the last time, a system notification immediately sounded in his mind:
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the Demon King Training Quest - The Demon King's Wrath!"
"Task Evaluation: The Demon King's revenge lasts from morning till night! The host was able to return in the shortest amount of time to seek revenge, and without any mercy, managing to salvage a little of the Demon King's face. Barely completed!"
"Task rating: Three stars! Rewards are as follows:"
"Sixty King-level Demon Slave Pills!"
"Sixty Demon King Cards!"
"One Hunting Slave Whip Gold Upgrade Card!"
"Autonomous Crisis Radar!"
Looking at the reward for this task, Luo Chen felt a little unhappy. After all, he had been busy for a whole day and night, and all he got was a three-star rating. It was a thankless task!
"Damn, but this Hunting Slave Whip's gold upgrade card is pretty good. It improved a lot last time, so it should be able to jump at least two levels this time!"
Immediately, Luo Chen used the gold upgrade card for the Hunting Slave Whip, and the Hunting Slave Whip was upgraded again.
Whoosh! A ring of golden light suddenly rose from the Hunting Slave Whip, as if it were protected by golden light. When the upgrade was complete, the Hunting Slave Whip had turned golden!
Luo Chen gripped the golden hunting whip and sensed it. He was slightly shocked. This golden hunting whip seemed quite powerful. It could directly pull strong people with strength below the early stage of Foundation Establishment (including the early stage of Foundation Establishment) into the pet hunting ground. Its power was simply terrifying!
"And what is this autonomous crisis radar? It doesn't sound like a good thing."
Luo Chen flipped his hand, and a thing that looked like a pot lid appeared in his hand. He looked at it from left to right.
"Host, the autonomous crisis radar is used to warn you of impending crises! If someone harbors strong murderous intent towards you, the autonomous crisis radar will detect it when the intent reaches a certain level and then warn you."
The system's ethereal voice echoed in Luo Chen's mind.
"Huh? So, this autonomous crisis radar is actually a pretty good thing~"
Luo Chen chuckled. Anything related to survival was a good thing in his eyes.
"Ding! The system has detected an increase of 123,767 people in the Demon King Space, bringing its population to over 100,000! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Silver Achievement Medal—100,000 Slave Demon King!"
Just as Luo Chen was feeling quite satisfied with the autonomous crisis radar, the system's voice sounded again.
"Damn! Another achievement medal, not bad!" Luo Chen happily opened the medal wall and, sure enough, the number of medals had increased to eleven! ...
Chapter 233 A Female Ghost Arrives
With more people in the Demon King's Space, Luo Chen can make better arrangements.
First, they filled the missing spots in the King of Fighters casino, and then they arranged one hundred mining slave selection tournaments.
"Hehe, once these hundred mining slave selection competitions are over, I will have a hundred mining slaves all at once, and the number of vengeful ghosts in Demon King Hell will also increase dramatically. At that time, the construction progress of Demon King Hell will be greatly accelerated."
With a thought, Luo Chen appeared at the entrance to the Demon King's Hell and then entered the huge pit.
The first level of the Demon King's Hell has now been completely completed, and about a hundred vengeful ghosts are currently working tirelessly to build the second level of the Demon King's Hell.
Luo Chen came down here to see how far the construction of the second level of Demon King's Hell had progressed.
At this moment, in the second level of the Demon King's Hell, a group of vengeful ghosts were trembling as they dug something in the ground.
"I don't know when that female demon will come back. We've been digging for over twenty days straight without a break!" said the vengeful ghost Yin Tianzheng with a miserable expression.
"Hey, everyone, let's just keep digging, lest that she-devil comes back and sees that we're not working, then we'll all suffer another great ordeal."
Beside the vengeful ghost Yin Tianzheng, the vengeful ghost Song Yuanqiao wiped his sweat and sighed.
"Stop talking! There seems to be a ghost coming from over there. We mustn't let her find out we're slacking off, or we'll all be in trouble!"
As the vengeful ghosts Yin Tianzheng and Song Yuanqiao were talking, suddenly, the vengeful ghost Yu Daiyan beside them gave them a tense reminder.
"Huh? Damn it, you bunch of brats, instead of building the second level of Demon King's Hell for me, you're digging dirt here? Are you planning to bury yourselves in a hole?"
Luo Chen rarely came to check on things, but he was surprised to find that there wasn't a single vengeful ghost building the Demon King's Hell for him. They were all squatting here digging in the dirt!
This made Luo Chen so angry that his hair stood on end!
"Ah! Demon King!"
"Master Demon! You are finally here!"
"My Lord Demon King! It's not that we disobeyed your orders, but that she-demon forced us to!"
The group of vengeful ghosts suddenly realized that the approaching figure was not a ghost, but Luo Chen. They were so excited that tears streamed down their faces, and they knelt down in front of Luo Chen.
This scene resembles a group of abducted children who suddenly see their families and come to them crying and complaining.
Holy crap! What the hell is going on?!
Damn it! Didn't these vengeful ghosts used to hate me to the core? Why are they acting like they've seen their father now?
Luo Chen immediately realized that something was amiss!
"Song Yuanqiao! You tell me, what exactly is going on here? Why are you digging in the dirt? And what is this 'female demon' thing?"
Although Luo Chen was busy with many things, he had an excellent memory. He clearly remembered that there were no female ghosts in this Demon King's Space, so how could there be a female demon?
"Yes, Lord Demon King!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yuanqiao immediately knelt before Luo Chen and cried out, "My Lord Demon King, ever since the second level of Demon King Hell opened, we have all been following your orders to build the instruments of torture."
But just over twenty days ago, a patch of moonlight suddenly appeared to the east of the Demon King's Hell. The moonlight was silvery and poured down, illuminating a large area of moonlit land.
In the silvery moonlight, a female ghost appeared, her power utterly terrifying; even all of us vengeful spirits combined were no match for her!
Listening to Song Yuanqiao's complaints, Luo Chen was slightly surprised. A female ghost had appeared?
Did it just appear from the moonlight?! What the hell is going on?!
Luo Chen then asked, "Then why are you digging here?"
"Reporting to the Demon King! It seems that the female ghost has discovered a kind of ghost spirit essence in these lands. She can improve her cultivation by absorbing this ghost spirit essence, so she has ordered us to dig up ghost spirit essence all over the second level of the Demon King's Hell for her to cultivate."
The fierce ghost, White-browed Eagle King, immediately cupped his hands and spoke up.
"Damn it! She actually thought of using my men to do her bidding! Where are the other vengeful ghosts? How come there are only a dozen or so of you?"
Luo Chen looked around and saw only a dozen or so fierce ghosts.
Song Yuanqiao continued, "Your Majesty, the other vengeful ghosts have been sent to different places to extract their spirit essence. Every now and then, she sends Yin Liting to collect the spirit essence. If we don't hand over enough, we'll inevitably be severely tortured by the female demon!"
"Yes! That old woman has already reduced me to ashes several times. Every time I'm about to die, she restores me, making my life a living hell!"
The vengeful ghost Wei Yixiao immediately knelt down and excitedly recounted the suffering he had endured.
Luo Chen frowned slightly and said, "Yin Liting? Why is it him who came to collect it? Is he working for that female ghost?"
"Alas! Junior Brother Yin has been holding a grudge against you, Lord Demon King, because Yang Buhui was taken away by you. So when that female ghost asked for a servant, he immediately volunteered and even wanted the female demon king to deal with you."
Song Yuanqiao sighed and shook his head.
"Oh? Then why didn't you try to curry favor with that female demon?" Luo Chen rubbed his chin, a strange expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, even if we were foolish, we would know that in this Demon King's Space, Your Majesty is the most powerful. No one... no, no ghost can pose any threat to you. So we are all waiting for the day when Your Majesty will come to our rescue."
Song Yuanqiao continued.
The other vengeful spirits nodded in agreement, all expressing their loyalty to Luo Chen.
Just then, a ghostly figure suddenly rushed out from behind the group of vengeful spirits, wielding a silk ribbon that lashed out at them, causing the last few spirits to scream in agony.
"Do you all have a death wish?! Her Majesty the Queen is still waiting over there, and you dare to slack off!" Along with this arrogant voice, a ghostly figure appeared—it was Yin Liting! ...
Chapter 234 The Consequences of Daring to Betray Me
Luo Chen turned her head and looked over, only to see that Yin Liting was wearing a red silk shawl and holding a red silk in his hand.
The red silk ribbon he used to whip the vengeful ghosts was the same one in his hand.
Luo Chen could tell at a glance that the red silk that Yin Liting had been subjected to was quite powerful, which was why it could frighten the other evil spirits.
The red silk draped over Yin Liting's body was specifically for her protection.
Just then, Yin Liting also saw Luo Chen. He was stunned at first, then his head buzzed. The memory of Yang Buhui being taken away was vivid in his mind. Instantly, a raging fire rose in Yin Liting's heart.
"You scoundrel! You've finally shown up! Wait, I'm going to get the Queen to deal with you!"
Yin Liting roared and was about to turn and leave to find the female ghost and kill Luo Chen. But Luo Chen's gaze suddenly turned cold. Looking at Yin Liting trying to escape, she sneered, "You dog! I spared your life back then, and you didn't know how to be grateful. Now you dare to put on airs in front of me? It seems I'll teach you a lesson you won't believe me!"
Is it Luo Kitty?
Luo Chen immediately summoned Yin Liting to his side.
Although Luo Chen cannot construct this Demon King's Hell with his thoughts, his will can still influence these ghost slaves.
Suddenly, Yin Liting flew backward and appeared at Luo Chen's feet.
Luo Chen raised his foot and kicked Yin Liting in the face, making him scream in pain!
"Damn it! When did it become your place to give me attitude? Since you hate me so much, then I don't need to keep you alive any longer! Die!"
Instantly, Luo Chen moved his mind, and raging ghost fire burst forth from Yin Liting's ghost body, igniting in an instant!
"Hmph! The Queen's red silk will protect me; you won't kill me!"
Having witnessed the queen's power, Yin Liting firmly believed that the red silk could protect him.
But before the raging ghost fire had even burned for a moment, Yin Liting's body immediately felt incredibly hot, as if he had been thrown into a furnace at a temperature of tens of millions of degrees and was being roasted!
"Ah—what kind of fire is this! Impossible! Her Majesty the Queen gave me the red silk that would protect me absolutely, how could it not stop your fire!"
Feeling immense and terrifying pain, Yin Liting was immediately terrified. He frantically patted the ghost fire on his body, but no matter what he did, he couldn't extinguish even a single wisp of it!
"Ah! No! I can't die! No!"
Yin Liting panicked completely. He rolled around on the ground in excruciating pain, trying to extinguish the ghostly flames on his body.
"No! Demon King! I, Yin Liting, know I was wrong! Please give me another chance! I will never dare to betray you again. Let me lead you to the Queen, please don't kill me!"
Yin Liting screamed hysterically, his cries filled with boundless terror; clearly, the burning of the ghost fire was extremely painful.
Luo Chen didn't speak, but instead looked indifferently at Yin Liting, who was rolling around on the ground, with a cold smile on his lips.
If you dare to betray me, then you must bear the consequences!
Seeing Yin Liting in such a miserable state, the group of vengeful ghosts, though knowing it was the consequence of his betrayal of Luo Chen, all seemed somewhat reluctant to let him go.
Song Yuanqiao pursed his lips and looked up at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen immediately noticed this movement and turned to look at him. Her sharp gaze pierced Song Yuanqiao's eyes as she coldly asked, "Are you trying to plead for him?"
"Ah! No! Demon King, you misunderstand me! I mean you punished him too well. Someone who betrays you deserves to be punished properly!"
Originally, Song Yuanqiao wanted to plead for Yin Liting, but when Luo Chen's gaze fell on him, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, let alone plead for him.
"Hmph! Good that you know! Anyone who dares to betray us in the future will suffer the same fate as Yin Liting!"
Luo Chen stopped looking at Song Yuanqiao and continued to stare at Yin Liting, watching him writhe in the will-o'-the-wisps.
The raging ghost fire burned for a full five hours before gradually dying down. During these five hours of burning, Yin Liting remained conscious, and his pain was amplified dozens of times by Luo Chen, making him suffer even more from the burning!
When the five hours were up, as the will-o'-the-wisp went out, Yin Liting's ghost also vanished into thin air!
Everyone immediately watched Manager Yin Liting's punishment with wide eyes, trembling with fear and not daring to look up.
Especially the vengeful ghost Song Yuanqiao, who was filled with fear at this moment, secretly thinking that he was lucky that he had been quick-witted and had not rashly pleaded for Yin Liting. Otherwise, if he had angered the Demon King, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
“You ghosts did a good job! Even when others oppressed you, you still firmly believed that I would come back to reclaim your sovereignty. Since you are loyal to me, I will not treat you unfairly! These ghost slave meat buns are yours!”
