Chapter 12: No Good End for Gluttony [Please Follow]_1

"My life is over..."

Looking at the Giant White Wolf Demon in front and the Wild Boar Demon appearing from the back, coupled with a sinister-looking Bird Demon closing in from the sky, the Prawn Demon's eyes filled with despair.

Facing encirclement by three demons on the shore, he forgot to resist.

He could only mutter a phrase he learned from a man who fell into the water and whom he had once eaten, "My life is over..." over and over.

Watching the desperate Prawn Demon with a shrimp's head and human body, almost frightened senseless, Lu Fei didn't hesitate and fiercely struck the Prawn Demon's head with his paw.

The confrontation was between a nearly three-meter long, robust Giant White Wolf Demon and a mere 1.5 meter long Prawn Demon, who hadn't yet returned to its original form.

It was just a single slap.

"Bam..."

The Prawn Demon's desperate gaze was forever frozen, its hard-shelled head was sent flying a few meters away instantly by the massive force, killing the Demon.

Next,

Without demonic power to sustain it,

The decapitated body of the Prawn Demon quickly reverted to its original form — a half-meter long, pure white shrimp's body with no head.

Adding the sturdy shrimp head, Lu Fei realized that the Prawn Demon was over a meter long, a real giant shrimp.

But now, it was dead.

"White Wolf, your strategy works well..."

At this point, the Crow Demon descended from mid-air to the shore, looking at the big shrimp body on the shore and the two-meter-long Carp Demon's body in the shallow water with excitement in its eyes, saying, "Hehe, those monsters can't withstand a single blow, we'll feast tonight..."

"It managed to come ashore. In the water, the Prawn Demon wouldn't be an easy target..."

Lu Fei stepped forward, used his forepaw to lift the fragmented black shrimp head, and picked it up.

As an inferior demon, even the bear skin covering his private parts was freshly skinned.

He was now genuinely poor.

The sturdy shrimp shell could be of use to him.

Holding the shrimp head in his mouth, Lu Fei glanced left and right before turning to the Crow Demon sniffing around the headless Prawn Demon's body. "We're very close to Snake Coil Mountain here, we made quite some noise just now, it would be troublesome to stick around..."

Upon hearing Lu Fei's voice, the Crow Demon, who was admiring his spoils of war, immediately turned and said, "Right, this is where our territory in the Rolling Mountain intersects with the Snake Coil Mountain, it will spell trouble if we attract the kids from the other side."

At that moment,

The Red-Pi Wild Boar Demon watching beside the Carp Demon's body at the edge of shallow water, shifted his gaze from the deep pool nearby and said to Lu Fei and the Crow Demon, "There's something watching us in the water..."

Lu Fei immediately turned around, but only saw a dark shadow quickly disappearing into the pond, leaving only ripples behind.

"Ignore it, we should leave immediately..."

We've already crossed their doorstep, it would be weird if the creature in the pond didn't notice us. Lu Fei then turned to the Crow Demon, pointing at the dead Carp Demon and said, "You move more easily, take that body with you..."

"Sure thing..."

The Crow Demon chuckled, spread its wings and landed on the dead Carp Demon, its claw-like talons pierced the fish's scales and flesh, and then, flapping its wings, it shakily carried the almost two-meter-long Carp Demon into the air.

Although it was a bit of struggle, it wasn't a big problem.

Lu Fei then turned to Pig Demon Red-Pi.

While in their original forms, although their battle strength increased, not having hands was troublesome.

As a result, Lu Fei and Pig Demon Red-Pi, each carrying part of the Prawn Demon's corpse in their mouths, began to run in the direction they had come from.

Just after the three Demons left,

A shadow surfaced in the middle of the pond, gazing at the backs of the three departing Demons.

The shadow closely inspected the surroundings, then appeared on a corner of the shore where the three Demons had previously engaged in battle with the Prawn Demon.

Looking at the battle traces, the shattered shells scattered all over, and the copious green blood,

The shadow knew that his plastic brother, Prawn Demon, must have died and returned to the Underworld.

He also roughly understood the reason his brother had come ashore — he had wanted to have all the food for himself.

Looking towards the direction where the three Demons had disappeared again, the shadow couldn't help but curse, "What a fool, he got what he deserved..."

After a fit of rage,

The shadow soon left the shore, returned to the depths of the pond, and disappeared.

Serenity returned to the beach as if nothing had happened.

Half an hour later.

Inside the forest, not far from the shallows.

Sudden hurried footsteps began to echo.

"Quick..."

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

"Absolutely sure, I swear, those three demons must be those brats from Rolling Mountain because I've never seen, I don't even recognize them..."

"That's good, this time I came out at the risk of being discovered by the leader..."

"Since they dare to come here, we will make sure they may come but not leave..."

"Three demons, that's barely enough to divide amongst us..."

"Quick, all hurry up..."

Soon, a large rat over a meter-long led the way, followed by five different kinds of monsters running out of the forest, sprinting towards the shallows.

The night gradually grew darker.

After leaving the shallows to enter the forest.

The Crow Demon flying in mid-air with the corpse of the Carp Demon looked down at Lu Fei and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"To the bamboo grove..."

Lu Fei replied without hesitation.

It was impossible to go to Rolling Mountain with two demon corpses.

Under normal circumstances, as long as no incidents occur, the leaders would turn a blind eye to small demons wandering at night.

But if Lu Fei and his three demons were discovered carrying two demon corpses.

Not only would they fail to receive the Bear leader's reward, but their demon corpses might be confiscated.

Then, they would be severely punished for sneaking out of the mountain, and it might even cost them their lives.

So, they definitely don't plan to return to the mountain at this moment.

They need to find a place as soon as possible to dispose of the two Fish Demon corpses.

The bamboo grove, where they had labored hard for three days, is an excellent choice.

"Alright then..."

Hearing Lu Fei's words, the Crow Demon cheerfully agreed and immediately changed the flying direction.

Watching the Crow Demon in front of him flying in the air, and Little Pig Demon Red Pi next to him.

At this moment, Lu Fei was grateful for bringing his two partners along.

Initially, after realizing that the Fish Demon might be dead.

He had thought about finding it alone.

That way, he could have all the spoils to himself.

However, after some thought, he gave up the idea.

He brought along the Crow Demon and Red Pi as a measure against unexpected events.

He had decided to take these two as his minions, and this would be an opportunity for them to upgrade their power.

After all, minions with too low power are not suitable, and with the help of the system, his power will only upgrade faster.

And indeed, it was like this.

If he had decided to eat alone tonight.

Even without the Crow Demon leading the way, he could have followed the river to eventually find the shallows.

But it would have taken much longer.

In that case, it would be hard to say if he could have obtained the corpse of the Carp Demon, let alone an additional Prawn Demon.

Moreover, if Lu Fei's actions were discovered by the Crow Demon and Pig Demon Red Pi, their initially good relationship would surely be impacted.

In conclusion, during the initial stages of a venture, partners are valuable.

There's no good ending to eating alone.

Just like that Prawn Demon.
