In the desolate, continuous mountain range, a deep, crimson demonic aura permeated the air.
Large demonic beasts roamed freely here, and the mountain's summit was a haven for the demon race, with countless evil spirits and demonic beasts hidden and gathered within unseen caves.
A goat that walked upright on two legs appeared at the summit, slowly entering a cave filled with a pungent, fishy stench.
Inside the cave, both sides were covered with eerie white bones, indistinguishable as either beast or human. Large amounts of blood and thick liquid stained the ground, appearing extremely disgusting, yet to the demonic creatures, it was a landscape of delicacies.
The goat greedily took a deep breath, as if savoring the most exquisite scent in the world, and couldn't help but bleat out in sheer pleasure.
Deep within the cave sat a pig-headed demon as tall as a mountain, its layers of fat rippling around its waist. At that moment, it was clutching a fresh human leg, gnawing on it incessantly, blood dripping from its mouth.
Beside the pig-head, several humans with expressions of despair were tied up, one of whom had a leg missing and lay dying on the ground.
Several half-human, half-demon heads hopped around nearby, playing happily.
The goat was accustomed to this sight. It stopped bleating and walked towards the pig-head: "Boss, Taiping City is about to expand here. Aren't we leaving yet?"
The pig-head snorted, exhaling a gust of air: "No rush, let's wait a little longer. I haven't eaten enough yet. Want a leg? Fresh human legs are really delicious!"
"Boss! It'll be too late if we don't leave soon."
Seeing that the pig-head boss was unwilling to leave, the goat looked anxious and earnestly advised: "A green mountain is always there, don't worry about running out of firewood. We can continue eating after we leave safely, so don't get caught here."
"Shut your mouth!"
The pig-head roared angrily, like a ferocious beast.
"I said wait, so we wait. As long as we pull off this risky job, we'll be set for life. What do you know!"
A terrifying demonic aura erupted, shaking the fat around its waist and causing the goat's body to tremble slightly.
The heads that were playing nearby were blown to the side by the demonic aura, and the bound humans were directly knocked unconscious.
"Boss, at least tell us what the plan is. We're waiting here cluelessly. Who exactly are we waiting for?"
The goat asked cautiously, enduring the pressure.
The pig-head was the boss of this mountain range, and its words were inviolable. All the evil spirits and demonic beasts were filled with fear towards it.
The pig-head's mouth stretched into a grin, revealing a bloody maw and sharp fangs, its voice deep and resonant: "Naturally, we're waiting for the cultivators from Taiping City!"
The pig-head suddenly grabbed a fainting human, its bloody maw biting off the person's head, chewing as it spoke: "Humans are a complex group. They like to help each other, but they also like to kill each other. Someone is cooperating with us to kill the Demon Subduing Envoy of Taiping Town."
Hearing this, the goat's eyes widened: "Boss means, we're waiting for the Demon Subduing Envoy? Is the person cooperating with us trustworthy? Could it be a trap?"
"This person's family is at odds with Taiping City, so it can't be a trap. If it really is a trap..."
The pig-head paused, then suddenly pulled open an iron plate on the ground, from which a thick, fishy stench wafted out.
Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that below was a deep, long staircase passage, with screams and mad laughter echoing endlessly in the corridor, like a frenzied, demonic feast.
"If it really is a trap, we'll let the hundred thousand people below be buried with us! Hahahaha!"
The pig-head boss cackled maniacally, the sound waves of its laughter shaking all directions. The goat and the heads quickly offered obsequious smiles, their eyes filled with excitement.
Beneath this mountain range, a vast city was hidden, a giant city controlled by the demon race!
The pig-head and the goat descended the stairs, the internal color gradually turning crimson, the flickering candlelight cold and piercing, without a trace of warmth.
Countless cages densely housed enormous demonic beasts, with only two paths available to them.
Either become evil demons or become blood food!
Continuing deeper into the corridor, a bustling street with a dense population, resembling a black market trading place, gradually came into view.
Demons with ugly faces and large bodies were wantonly venting their desires on the street, the women beneath them screaming in pain, wanting to commit suicide but being controlled by the demons' magic, forced to utter moans of pleasure, but their eyes gradually became empty with each penetration, as if they had lost their souls.
The surrounding humans were too scared to move.
Any human who dared to step forward to stop them would be whipped until half-crippled and dragged into the dungeon, raised into a bloated, fat body, for the demons to cut off their flesh and gnaw on.
Here, humans had to massage the demons' backs, legs, and feet, provide entertainment services, and cook the flesh of their own kind for the demons to eat.
Anyone who dared to resist would become blood food.
Don't think that becoming blood food is just a death sentence. The so-called blood food is actually a leek that provides an endless supply of flesh.
The demons would force a large amount of disgusting leftovers into the humans' mouths, raising them to be fat, and then, without harming their lives, cutting off as much of their flesh as possible, and then sending the meat to the kitchen, where the humans were responsible for cooking it for the demons to eat and enjoy.
The humans who had their flesh cut off continued to stay in the prison to recuperate, and once they became fat again, they would be harvested again, repeating this process like leeks.
This underground city of humans controlled by demons was a living hell, a paradise for demons!
If humans were unwilling to reproduce, the demons would use magic to force them to reproduce. With such harsh methods, the population of this underground city reached a hundred thousand!
This place was not only the demons' cafeteria, but also the pig-head boss's trump card against traps.
Humans like to help each other, so their power would be restricted by these hundred thousand people, thus creating an opportunity for the pig-head boss to escape.
"Do you see this beautiful underground city? Isn't it almost like the paradise you imagined? Our predecessors don't know how much time and effort they spent to build it."
The pig-head boss forcefully put its arm around the goat's shoulder, a foul stench emanating from its mouth: "Are you willing to give up everything in front of you? Or do you choose to join forces with humans to suppress the Demon Subduing Envoy and fight for a bright future? I'll let you choose for yourself!"
Hearing this, the goat looked excited and nodded tremblingly: "Of course, I'll follow the boss and create a better future together!"
"Create a better future together!"
The surrounding demons shouted loudly in unison, raising the blood in their cups and drinking heartily.
Some demons excitedly raised their knives and slaughtered several humans around them, hanging them up to add to the fun.
Human lives were like weeds in the eyes of the demons, domesticated poultry, toys to be wantonly ravaged!
At the same time, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, walking out of the void...
