Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 198 The Demons Are in Danger

"Okay, don't be sad like the orcs. Our responsibilities are more important now!"

Yutu brushed the dust off his knees and bowed to the Beast God. "Thank you for your help, Beast God. I, Yutu, will definitely repay you!"

"Well! Let's go!"

The Beast God and the map walked westward one after the other. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, creating a halo of light and shadow.

The demons heading north were now in their lair, encountering unprecedented difficulties. The demon priest stomped his staff.

"Dark Demon God, are they all sick? Why are they all like weeds in the cold season? So listless. And some of the older orcs have died for no apparent reason. What's going on?"

The Dark Demon God and three demon orcs stood there stunned. How could this be their own underground lair? How could they still be demon orcs? They checked all their tribesmen and saw that they were all stumbling around. The little cub was still lying in his mother's arms without even raising his eyelids.

The Dark Demon God reached out and touched the little demon standing beside him. He touched his forehead and found it was burning hot. He took his hand away in shock.

"Why is it so hot? Demon Doctor, Demon Doctor!" The Dark Demon God frantically called out to the Demon Doctor, but none of the tribe answered him. A demon walked out of the crypt, saluted the Dark Demon God and the priest, and said:

"The Dark Demon God, the Priest, and the Demon Doctor died a few days ago."

"How could this happen? What happened?"

A female demon cried and said, "Are we just waiting to die?"

The Dark Demon grabbed the healthy orc and asked anxiously:

"When did your symptoms begin? What exactly happened?"

"This story started a few days ago. Our people suddenly felt suffocated and short of breath. They vomited everything they ate, and had diarrhea that they couldn't stop! The old orcs couldn't stand it anymore, and many of them went to see the True God, including the Demonic Doctor! The young ones couldn't hold on either, and they drank the blood of their own parents to survive!"

The orc wiped the tears from his eyes, feeling distressed and helpless. "Priest, please divine for me what taboo my demons have violated that has cost me such a price!"

The priest's face was solemn as he held his staff and began to divine. The gemstone on the staff's tip shone faintly, its light sketching images in the air. After a long pause, the priest slowly spoke:

"Dark Demon God, I see an evil force in the darkness entwining our water source."

Everyone was shocked. Water is the source of life. If the water source is polluted, it is no wonder that the whole tribe will fall ill. The Dark Demon God gritted his teeth and said:

"There must be an enemy behind this. No matter who it is, I will not let him off."

The Dark Demon God decided to personally investigate the source of the water. When he arrived, he found that the source was surrounded by black mist and the water was filled with a foul odor.

Just as the Dark Demon God was about to dispel the black fog, he heard a sinister laugh. "You demons have occupied this place for too long. Today is the day you die," a dark figure emerged.

The Dark Demon roared, charging at the shadow and engaging it in combat. The two exchanged blows, each evenly matched in strength. With a thud, the aftermath of their palm strikes sent both men back a few steps. The Dark Demon's teeth itched in hatred.

"Who are you and why are you targeting my demon clan?"

The black shadow laughed strangely, "I am the Shadow Demon Lord. This land originally belonged to me. It was occupied by you demons many years ago. Now I will take it back."

The Dark Demon God's eyes widened in anger. "Don't try to argue. This land has belonged to my demon clan for thousands of years. There's no such thing as us taking it by force."

The Shadow Demon Lord snorted coldly, "Back then, I was sealed away and powerless to resist. Now that I am free again, I will definitely wipe you out."

The Dark Demon God knew that this battle was difficult. While dealing with the attacks of the Shadow Demon Lord, he was thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly, he remembered that the priest had mentioned the evil power in the water source. If the water source was purified, perhaps the power of the Shadow Demon Lord could be weakened. So, the Dark Demon God pretended to be defeated and approached the water source.

The Shadow Demon Lord thought the Dark Demon God was trying to escape and chased him relentlessly. The Dark Demon God took the opportunity to cast a purification spell, muttering something, and forming seals with his hands to hit the water source.

With a flash of golden light, the black mist in the water gradually dissipated, and the foul smell also faded a lot. The Shadow Demon Lord suddenly felt his strength weakened, and his body became a little unstable.

The Dark Demon God seized the opportunity and struck with all his might. The Shadow Demon Lord screamed and fled in a puff of black smoke. The Dark Demon God breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the demon clan was temporarily safe. He turned back to inform his clan members of the news.

The Dark Demon God hurried back to his tribe and told everyone about this. When the tribe members learned that the water source had been purified and their lives had been saved, they immediately cheered and praised the Dark Demon God for his bravery.

However, the Dark Demon God still had concerns. He was worried that the Shadow Demon Lord would not give up and would definitely come back. The priest pulled the Dark Demon God over and asked:

"Is it really all resolved and there won't be any future problems?"

The Dark Demon God gave a look, and the priest and three other powerful men walked to the corner. They all looked at the Dark Demon God intently, hoping to hear good news from him.

"His name is Youying, and he was once the Demon Lord. He said that our place of residence was taken away by force, and he will definitely take it back when he breaks the seal!"

"He's a demon? Why would you say that? How can you take someone from your own clan by force?"

The scar-faced orc said unhappily, and the priest calculated slowly on his fingers.

"No, you said his name is Shadow? He was a beast who colluded with foreign tribes thousands of years ago. We almost all died at his hands. Today, he is using the same trick again, trying to destroy our demon clan!"

"Shadow was injured and escaped. He will never give up! Let's save our people first. Fortunately, we have the herbs sent by the witch!"

The Dark Demon God took out some herbs and asked the healthy and capable females to boil a potion. In the following days, the tribe slowly recovered, and the dark and damp crypt was filled with laughter and joy.

The Dark Demon God was also busy, strengthening the defenses of the Demon Clan's territory. He led his people to set up numerous barriers around the area and arranged numerous guards to patrol.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. One night, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Even the demons deep in the caves were frightened by the thunder and huddled together.

A powerful and familiar dark force loomed again. The Shadow Demon Lord had indeed returned, and he looked even angrier than before. Behind him followed a group of orcs in bizarre attire.

"Dark Demon God, do you think you can defeat me like that? I've brought helpers with me today, and I'm determined to crush your demon clan."

As the Shadow Demon Lord finished speaking, a group of strange-looking demon soldiers emerged from behind him. The Dark Demon God clenched his fists, showing no fear, and shouted:

"Even so, we demons will never give in!"
