“What do you two think?”
After Red Crown finished his proposal, he looked at Giant Horn and Black Skin with a questioning gaze.
As for the giant centipede, its strength was low, and its status was not high, so its opinion was completely unimportant.
Giant Horn was a loyal follower of Red Crown and directly agreed to Red Crown’s proposal: “Whatever you say, Old Red, I have no objections. However, we need to discuss where we’ll go next time. Some people had better not be involved.”
As he spoke, Giant Horn glanced at Black Skin, clearly targeting him.
“Stinky old bull, what do you mean by that?”
Black Skin was young and spirited, and his temper finally couldn’t be suppressed. “Are you saying that this failure is all my fault? I’m telling you, I won’t take this big black pot!”
“You won’t take it?”
Giant Horn sneered. “If you don’t take it, who will? Stinky fox, I’m warning you, don’t think that just because the Demon Lord took you as his godson, you have the right to speak to me in a high and mighty tone. If you’re not convinced, let’s fight!”
So, this Black Skin was actually a fox!
And this fox had quite a background, actually being the godson of that Demon Lord.
“Fight, then fight, you think I’m afraid of you?”
Black Skin was full of fighting spirit, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to have a big fight with Giant Horn.
“Alright, alright, I told you not to have internal strife, what’s going on with you two? Giant Horn, you’re so old, why are you arguing with a child?”
Seeing that the two were too hot-headed, Red Crown once again played the role of a peacemaker. “Black Skin, do you have any different opinions on my proposal? If you do, just say it. Although I am the most senior among the three of us, I never practice autocracy. I still like to listen to the opinions of young people.”
Hearing this, the giant centipede was about to cry. You really don’t treat me like a person!
Black Skin seemed to be waiting for Red Crown’s words. He immediately said, “Brother Red Crown, let me state in advance that I don’t have any objections to your proposal. I just think that since Thousand Feet suffered a loss at the hands of humans this time, it would be disheartening to our subordinates if we just stood by and did nothing.”
“Black Skin, what do you mean by that?”
Red Crown narrowed his eyes, his gaze still sharp, and his voice became much sharper.
“What I mean is, we suffered a loss, and we need to get back at them… Of course, we have to leave, but before we leave, we must make our demon race’s reputation known. Only then can we truly reduce the pressure on the Northern Demon Army.”
“Otherwise, if we cause trouble in a half-hearted way, we won’t attract the attention of humans!”
Black Skin said passionately.
Among the three, he seemed to be a radical.
Giant Horn’s face was ashen, but he seemed to have taken Black Skin’s words to heart and was thinking seriously.
However, Red Crown sneered dismissively, “Black Skin, tell me, what exactly are you plotting?”
“Brother Red Crown, what can I be plotting? Everything I do is for the consideration of our demon race!”
Black Skin said righteously.
“Hmph, stop playing dumb with me! You’ve lived with humans for so long, don’t you understand their strength?”
Red Crown said sinisterly, “The expert that Thousand Feet encountered is not common among humans at all. We can completely avoid their sharp edge, but you insist on talking about revenge. You also say it’s for the consideration of the demon race? I think you want to take advantage of the chaos to slip away!”
“Red Crown, you’re talking nonsense! The Demon Lord is my adoptive father, and I am loyal to him. Why do you say I want to run?”
“I think you are cowardly and afraid of trouble. If the demon race is full of timid people like you, how can we talk about revival?”
Black Skin said righteously, his face turning red with excitement.
“Damn it, you little brat, how dare you talk to Old Red like that? You’re courting death! Don’t think that just because the Demon Lord is backing you, I won’t dare to touch you!”
Giant Horn was so angry that he snorted through his nose. With a surge of strength, his muscles bulged.
With a tearing sound, the already tight suit finally split open.
Energy flowed around his fist, and with a single command, he would attack Black Skin.
“Hmph!”
Red Crown let out a disdainful snort from his nostrils. “Forget it, Giant Horn, don’t bother with this brat. Whether we stay or go depends on my word alone, and it’s not his place to decide. I’ll give you five minutes to pack your things and leave Jiangcheng immediately!”
It turned out that it was still necessary to have autocracy. Why listen to others’ opinions? What did they know!
The five minutes were quickly passing. Black Skin’s eyes darted around anxiously, but he still couldn’t think of a way to stay.
The main reason was that Red Crown and Giant Horn didn’t believe him at all. No matter how good an excuse he came up with, he couldn’t convince them.
“Let’s go, Black Skin. Let the past be the past. I won’t hold grudges, but if you dare to cause any more trouble later, I don’t mind letting you experience the methods of the old guys!”
Red Crown’s words were laced with sarcasm. Black Skin sighed silently. The opportunity had been missed, and it seemed he had no choice but to give up.
The giant centipede opened the door and was about to walk out when he heard a bang. He didn’t know what he hit and was bounced back, sitting on the ground.
“Thousand Feet, what’s going on?”
Giant Horn asked with a frown.
The giant centipede looked confused and pointed to the door, saying, “There, it seems like there’s someone…”
“Someone?”
Giant Horn and Red Crown immediately became vigilant.
At this moment, Chen Xiao’s figure gradually appeared at the door, looking at them with a sinister smile.
“Gentlemen, are you leaving already? You came all the way to Jiangcheng to cause trouble, and I haven’t had a chance to properly entertain you yet. How can you just leave?”
Giant Horn and Red Crown were startled. Red Crown glared at the giant centipede and said fiercely, “Thousand Feet, what’s going on? Didn’t you say no one was following you!”
“I, I don’t know either…”
The giant centipede looked bewildered. He was very sure that no one was following him when he returned.
But how did this person appear?
“Who are you? When did you get here?”
Giant Horn asked in a deep voice.
“Lord Giant Horn, I remember now. He, he’s the person I saw in the cafeteria before. Then I fainted…”
The giant centipede clearly hadn’t figured out what was going on.
He still hadn’t realized that the person who knocked him out was actually Chen Xiao.
However, Red Crown was an experienced veteran. He guessed it immediately and was certain that this human was a master!
“Heh heh, we are just passing through your esteemed territory. We did not intend to disturb you. Please, your excellency, show mercy and let us leave. We promise that we will never set foot in Jiangcheng again in this lifetime!”
In an instant, Red Crown made the decision to yield and did not want to have a direct conflict with this master.
However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a surprised voice from behind: “Dad, I’ve finally found you!”
