"Do you still want to eat?" Bai Qi asked.
Swallowing the last piece of pork, he immediately came to Bai Qi like a well-behaved child, looking at him pitifully with his big eyes upon hearing there was more.
"If you want to eat, you can. Follow me, listen to me, and you'll have endless delicious food," Bai Qi said.
"Endless delicious food!"
The mountain demon repeated Bai Qi's words, its eyes sparkling.
"Okay, okay, okay. Mountain Demon will listen to Master from now on. Whatever Master asks Mountain Demon to do, Mountain Demon will do it. Mountain Demon wants to eat delicious food."
The mountain demon was a bit slow-witted, but its slowness made it easier to control. As long as it was given enough food, it would be one hundred percent loyal.
Bai Qi took out another pig and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The mountain demon nodded vigorously.
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and released the stitched monster beside him. "Go, defeat this guy, and you'll get food."
Upon hearing how simple it was, the mountain demon swung its sandbag-sized fist and smashed it hard onto the head of the stitched monster, which hadn't recovered its senses.
The stitched monster had just emerged from the ice and wasn't fully alert. After taking a punch from the mountain demon, it was dazed and disoriented.
The mountain demon didn't care. Its mind was filled with the thought of quickly beating the ugly guy to death so it could have delicious food.
Feeling that its fists were too slow, the mountain demon directly picked up the ice stick used to seal the alchemy creature and repeatedly smashed it onto the stitched monster's head.
The mountain demon fully exemplified the saying that brute force can achieve miracles.
The mountain demon's attack method was very simple: smash, keep smashing, and smash all enemies to death.
Before long, the stitched monster, which hadn't even understood what was happening, had both its heads smashed into flat pancakes, dying an irreversible death.
"Not bad, not bad. From the moment it attacked to killing the target, the mountain demon only took five minutes. Although the opponent didn't fight back due to various reasons, the mountain demon's performance was quite satisfactory to Bai Qi."
"Here, this is yours."
The mountain demon happily hugged the pig and devoured it ravenously. It ate with such gusto.
While eating, the mountain demon thought, this little master is so good to me. My previous masters never let me eat my fill.
If Weston were to hear the mountain demon's words, he would have crawled out of his grave to argue with it.
What an era that was back then.
If the mountain demon was fed, everyone in the entire castle would go hungry.
After the mountain demon finished eating and Bai Qi had confirmed the stability of the other ice sticks in the cold storage, he left the cold storage and went to Weston's studio.
To say the least, although Weston created a bunch of messy and unreliable alchemy creatures, he was a traditional person at heart. This could be seen from the furnishings in the room.
Bai Qi picked up the notebook on the table and began to read. The paper had already turned yellow, but from the blurry handwriting, it was still possible to discern that this notebook recorded Weston's experimental reports for each alchemy creature.
In the room, Bai Qi also saw many magical items. It was a pity that with the passage of time, these items, which had been lacking maintenance for a long time, had lost their original magic and turned into ordinary objects.
However, Bai Qi still had a harvest.
On the table in the center of the room, Bai Qi found the castle's central controller.
It was a large collection of magic circles. Through this formation, all the magical mechanisms in the castle could be controlled.
Bai Qi then proceeded to shut down the magic at the castle entrance that prevented the black mist from invading. This way, the shadow ninjas, who served as tools, could start working again.
Although Hunk had never left the castle, he was well-read. It could be said that he knew every book in the castle library by heart, and he even taught himself ancient magical languages.
Therefore, the moment he saw the shadow ninjas, Hunk recognized them as soldiers of the Shadow Kingdom.
He never expected that his master would have the power to control the Shadow Kingdom.
Bai Qi, of course, did not have the power to control the Shadow Kingdom, nor did the original Shendu. He only stole the power of the Shendu mask to gain control over the shadow ninjas.
After Valmont found and gave him the mask of Samos, Bai Qi began to study Shendu, stealing the power from the mask of Samos to control the troll army.
In reality, it was not easy to steal the power from a mask.
First of all, the mask itself was a seal, sealing the corresponding general. Bai Qi had to extract the general's power from the mask bit by bit, like peeling an onion, without damaging the seal. Any slight carelessness could lead to the general's resistance.
Although the shadow generals were not comparable to Shendu in the eyes of the black mist, they were still Shendu. As an ancient dragon that had experienced a long lifespan, Shendu's use of magic had reached a state of perfection, effortlessly wielded. However, for Bai Qi, who was only half-trained, even though he inherited some of Shendu's memories of using magic, he was still very clumsy in actual operation.
Therefore, after such a long time, Bai Qi could only control five troll ninjas.
Unlike before, this time Bai Qi decided to take away all the alchemy creatures in the cold storage, whether they were successful or not.
And these alchemy creatures were often exceptionally large in size, which required equally large troll ninjas.
Thus, at one go, Bai Qi summoned all five troll ninjas he could control to be responsible for moving the ice sticks in the cold storage.
The shadow ninjas lived up to their reputation as the best tools, and their efficiency was extraordinary.
Just as Valmont finished organizing the magic books in the study and moved them outside, the shadow ninjas had already packed up everything useful on the entire third floor and transported it directly to the Black Hand building through the Shadow Kingdom.
Not long after Bai Qi and the others left, a portal appeared in the middle of the farm.
The grumpy farmer, upon seeing the portal, was not intimidated at all. He grabbed the shotgun from the wall and rushed out.
A man walked out of the portal. He was wearing a suit and holding a tabby cat in his arms. His hair was styled in a unique way, forming two devilish horns. His aura was perfectly captured.
Facing the farmer's shotgun, the man showed no fear. Instead, he revealed a hint of disgust towards the farmer.
"Uninteresting human."
A red light shot from the man's eyes, and the farmer's eyes also turned red.
"Go back to your bedroom, put your socks on your head, and have a good sleep."
As the man spoke, the farmer, like a puppet, walked stiffly back into the room.
Then, a two-meter-tall burly man walked out of the portal.
At first glance, the most striking feature was the long scar running across his left eye.
Of course, that was not the most attention-grabbing thing about the burly man. Standing next to him, one felt an invisible pressure, like that of an ancient king.
