Chapter 323: After all, I’m not a demon!
Translator: 549690339
“Your master is in my stomach!”
Lu Chen was the one who spoke. He looked at the empty land in front of him and patted his stomach. He then sneered.
“I can’t kill you, but once you’re in my stomach, you’ll still be alive!”
That’s right, the annoyed Lu Chen opened his mouth and started a feast, swallowing the strange woman whole.
The scene was completely out of the woman’s expectation and she was swallowed by Lu Chen.
At the same time, because the feast had created a space in Lu Chen’s stomach, the evil woman’s voice couldn’t be heard at all.
However, the strange woman was not the only one who was surprised. The sons of the leaders around them also had strange expressions on their faces when they saw the female evil being devoured and the large piece of land.
“Swallow the Suan ni, directly swallow it.”
“Is this okay?”
“Your Highness, are you alright?”
The sons of the leaders were worried when they saw Lu Chen eating the evils alive.
Lu Chen saw their worried faces and he smiled in relief.
“What can happen to me? go back to your posts and guard them well,”
Then, Lu Chen prepared to leave. However, before he left, he suddenly thought of something and looked at The Paper Men who lost their Masters.
Without hesitation, Lu Chen opened his mouth again and a strong suction force came from his mouth. The Paper Men were sucked into Lu Chen’s mouth.
although I think the female evil was resurrected by her laughter and crying, it could also be by using your bodies. So, get in now.
Unsurprisingly, Lu Chen’s mouth was like an abyss that could devour everything. The paper man was swallowed without any resistance.
After that, Lu Chen walked back to the totem pillar and stood up with his sword.
Seeing Lu Chen’s actions and feeling that he was safe and sound, the others observed him for a while. After confirming that he was fine, they returned to their posts.
However, they kept looking at Lu Chen’s stomach from time to time. Clearly, they were still confused when they saw the evil being devoured.
The Warriors were still fine, but the Wizards who had warned the land were all stunned.
“What is this?”
“That’s too reckless.”
that evil is very strange. Will devouring it really be fine? ”
The wuzus were worried but Lu Chen was calm.
What he did just now seemed reckless, but Lu Chen only dared to do so because he was strong enough.
After all, the void creatures were on the same level as the gods. The mythical rainbow feast could even devour the gods ‘blood. No matter how strange the monsters’ abilities were, as long as they weren’t in the mythical realm, they wouldn’t be able to escape from Lu Chen’s stomach.
More importantly, Lu Chen also had the heaven’s revelation. The intuition that he had gained from his advancement made Lu Chen’s recklessness not brainless, but the ability to predict the future of the world.
If the devouring process was dangerous, the apocalypse would have warned Lu Chen. Therefore, Lu Chen’s devouring process didn’t have any problems.
After the red sedan and the female evil inside died, the place became peaceful again.
Two hours later, the evils finally broke through Kazan’s blockade and reached the barbarians.
Of course, death was what awaited them. Just like that, the massacre continued. Other than the red flower Wedding, Lu Chen didn’t encounter any other will level evils. This made Lu Chen happy.
“We’re quite lucky, we have a good start.”
While Lu Chen was happy, the sons of some of the leaders who had expanded their territories were bitter.
Boss, not everyone is like you and can deal with an evil of that level.
Those were the true thoughts of the sons of the Chiefs. Many of those who followed Lu Chen didn’t have any achievements, but there were also many who were once ambitious but were defeated by the current situation.
When the sons of the defeated leaders expanded their territories, the weaker evils could still be dealt with, but if they encountered the evil that looked like it was crying or smiling, they would not even be able to survive, let alone establish their territories.
It could only be said that Lu Chen wasn’t lucky this time, but he was really unlucky. It was only because Lu Chen was too strong that the soul-stirring battle didn’t seem to be worth mentioning.
Just like that, the night passed and the second day arrived.
Originally, Lu Chen would only be able to send the sky Whale back to the Royal Court on the third day to bring back the good news and let the people in the Royal Court organize the refugees. Then, he would have to send troops to clear a path for them.
However, things went too smoothly. As soon as the sun rose and the evils disappeared, Lu Chen ordered ivory.
“Ivory, take some people back to the Royal Palace and have red butterfly gather people outside. Also, have red butterfly bring some people with construction skills to me.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Ya led his men away and Lu Chen didn’t let the Barbarian warriors rest. Under his lead, they began to cut down the wood and break the rocks. They were ready to build as soon as the master architect arrived.
And this time, Lu Chen also made his move. His move made everything much easier.
For example, Lu Chen was going to build houses and roads with stones, which made the people have a higher demand for stones.
The first step to moving a mountain rock was naturally to break it. The ordinary people in ancient China could only hammer it down one by one, and they could not break much in a day.
On the other hand, the Barbarian Warriors were slightly more relaxed. But when it came to Lu Chen, the changes were drastic.
He raised his foot high and stomped down with a powerful force. It was as if the mountain was about to collapse and the earth was about to split apart.
After that, he used the nature manifestation spell and the rocks floated behind him as if they had no gravity. They were then guided into the open space in the village.
In other words, with Lu Chen around, everything became very simple.
Of course, the others were not weak either, especially Wei Song from the son of the earth family.
His work was even easier than Lu Chen’s. He didn’t even need to break it. He just dug his body down and after a series of rumbling sounds, a stone giant appeared on the ground. The stone giant then walked into the village on its own and didn’t need anyone to move it.
Just like that, all kinds of preparations continued for half a day. In the afternoon, it was time to rest again, and when night fell, the battle began again.
But two days ago, most of the evils that could sense the totem fire seed had already come.
On the third day, there were only a few scattered evils that came. Not to mention Lu Chen, they couldn’t even break through the two demon gods.
Therefore, on the third night, Lu Chen was bored and waited for half a night, but he didn’t see any evils. The barbarians were even more bored.
If it wasn’t for Lu Chen’s restriction and the lack of entertainment, the people here would have started having fun.
In the end, Lu Chen couldn’t take it anymore. He picked up the lantern and started hunting.
“You guys wait here for a while, I’ll be back soon.”
Just like that, Lu Chen plunged into the dark and quiet wilderness. With the guidance of the apocalypse, he began to search for the evils in the wilderness.
The Barbarian Warriors looked at each other as they watched Lu Chen leave.
After a while, Wei Song, the son of Lu Chen’s leader, said, ” “Brother Xiong, is it like this when you expand your territory?”
These words made man Xiong’s expression change.
However, he still opened his mouth and said, ” of course, it’s different now. When we were expanding our territory, the evils were endless. Although I could kill some of them, I had to take a break after two hours of fighting. That’s why many of my men died during the battle.
even though we managed to defend the village after we built it, we did not manage to clear the surrounding evils even after the totem pillars were built. Hence, the evils kept harassing us, causing the deaths of our Warriors.
Man Xiong sighed. He thought of the days when he was building the village, when he couldn’t rest at all.
Man Xiong wasn’t the only one to respond like this. The sons of the leaders who had lofty ambitions and wanted to build a village had all experienced this difficulty.
you guys are still fine. In the end, you managed to build the village. I was the unlucky one. When I was building the village, I ran into an evil that I could not deal with. It was a cloud of mist, and I had no idea how to deal with it. Under the cover of the mist, my subordinates kept dying. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was almost dawn and I gave up the next day, you guys wouldn’t have seen me.
me too. I didn’t encounter a mist evil, but a ghost carriage.
“I’m almost there too, Yingluo.”
Wei song’s question caused the sons of the Barbarian leaders to spit out bitter water. They thought of the difficulties they faced in building their own villages.
With that thought in mind, they also recalled what happened two days ago. The way Lu Chen crushed the evils with ease gave them hope for the future.
it’s good to follow the 13th Prince.
“We’ll be much safer with the Prince.”
The sons of the leaders were already chatting, which was enough to show how comfortable the situation was.
But now, it was so peaceful that Lu Chen even went to hunt for the evils.
The wilderness at night was very dangerous and the evils were like fish in water in the dark. However, Lu Chen had the revelation which allowed him to avoid all the evils. With the revelation, he could also find countless evils.
Just like that, the Barbarian leader’s son was stationed in the middle of the village while the two ghosts wandered around the periphery of the village. Lu Chen brought his substitute, Platinum Star, and the third ghost, afterimage Keiga, into the silent wilderness.
Time passed by slowly. While the Barbarian leader’s son was having a good time and Lu Chen was busy fighting, the sky brightened.
When Lu Chen walked out of the wilderness, the sun was just rising. The rays of light shone on Lu Chen, making him look like the son of the sun.
Lu Chen could indeed become half the sun’s child. When the sunlight shone on him, he felt a warm feeling filling his body and mind. It was the sun’s blessing.
Because he was absorbing the sunlight, Lu Chen was surrounded by a layer of light. At the same time, the barbarians were even more in awe of him.
However, Lu Chen didn’t know about this. While he was absorbing the sunlight and converting it into blood Qi, he was also closing his eyes to sense the energy.
He could sense that there was a flame rising beside the village. It was a flame and also hope, the hope of mankind.
Fire could cook food and drive away prey. It could be said that the human civilization of the Blue Star started with fire.
Although this world was strange, it was the same.
After fighting for three days, the totem fire that was protected by everyone was completely ignited.
A domain spread out from the totem fire. Within the domain, all abnormal things would be suppressed, and the strength of the barbarians would increase greatly.
At the same time, the fire could also protect the human spirit. It could be said that as long as the totem was not destroyed, the village would be much safer than the outside.
However, it seemed that because it had just been ignited, the current totem fire was not strong.
the totem has been erected, and the flame has been ignited. But it’s not enough now. Only by using the faith of the barbarians as firewood can the totem’s flame become more and more powerful.
While Lu Chen was sensing the totem fire’s condition, the sky Whale also appeared in the sky above the village. The reinforcements from the court had also arrived.
No, it wasn’t the court’s support but Lu Chen’s own reputation. What surprised Lu Chen was that red butterfly Ji also came with the sky Whale.
When Lu Chen returned to the village, the sky Whale had just landed. Before the sky Whale could fully stabilize itself, red butterfly Ji had already dashed towards Lu Chen’s body.
Lu Chen held onto red butterfly Ji’s delicate body and scolded, ” “What are you doing here?”
“My dear husband, I missed you.”
Lu Chen felt a sense of satisfaction when a beautiful woman was willing to rely on him. But now, Lu Chen was more focused on his career.
Red butterfly Ji knew this as well. After she said that, she saw Lu Chen’s displeased face and quickly said, ” “Lord husband, please be at ease. I have already arranged everything in the palace. Those who are willing to follow us have already gathered outside the palace, and the resources have also been stacked up. As for the merchants who are willing to invest in us, I have also told them to come here directly from the clouds Plains without going through the palace.”
At this moment, Lu Chen was like an ancient woman who just got married. Although his relationship with the Royal Court was still intact, he had to think about everything on his own.
Furthermore, he would have to pay a price for using the Imperial court’s support.
However, even though it was difficult to develop in this way, Lu Chen didn’t have to listen to the court’s every command. He was now a Lord of a region.
Red butterfly Ji said a lot and from her words, Lu Chen also understood the general situation.
Then, Lu Chen pulled red butterfly to an empty space and asked the son of the Barbarian leader to come over.
Lu Chen opened the map in his hand and said, ” we’ve already conquered this place, and the evils around here are not that strong. We can develop here in peace. However, we need people to do so. Our next priority is to find a way to get the refugees from the Royal Court to join us.
“Also, we need to continue expanding our territory.”
It wasn’t an easy task to build a tribe, especially when there were so many people following Lu Chen. Although this meant that Lu Chen’s men were strong, it also meant that Lu Chen couldn’t just build one village.
He needed to build a few villages. Only then could he support so many sons of the leader.
Therefore, the construction of the first totem pillar was not the end, but only the beginning.
now, we’ll split into two teams. I’ll personally lead the team to open up the path to the palace. You guys continue to open up the path. There’s no rush. I’ll open up a few territories first before opening up the path to the palace.
“Boss, we can do it.”
that’s right, Your Highness. How can there be no deaths in battle? we can also take charge of a field.
Lu Chen made this arrangement because he thought that nothing would happen with him around.
However, such a suggestion made the Barbarian leader’s son feel insulted. They patted their chest and said that they could also expand their territory.
Lu Chen looked up at the sky and stopped them.
“Shut up. If it was before the Blood Moon descended, your opinions would be correct. But now, it’s not the time to be careless.”
The 11 blood moons had strengthened the evils in this world too much. Lu Chen didn’t dare to be careless at all.
Because of Lu Chen’s high prestige, the other leaders ‘sons had no choice but to agree with Lu Chen’s decision.
man Xiong, ya, Ying Wei, Wei Song, the four of you stay here and don’t look like you’ve been wronged. We’re going to fight, and you’ll run into enemies here. Although we’ve cleared the surrounding evils, as long as the aura of the evils is not gone, the evils will not be gone. There are still other wandering evils, you’ll have to fight them.
I see. I, man Xiong, will listen to you, boss. I’ll stay here and guard.
He left behind the sons of the three leaders, ya, their subordinates, and wuzu to guard the place.
Lu Chen asked the others to gather together. However, he didn’t lead the team out immediately. Instead, he went to find red butterfly.
“Has the master craftsman I asked for arrived?”
“We’re already here.”
With a wave of red butterfly Ji’s hand, a few old men with white beards came to Lu Chen’s side. Lu Chen didn’t sense any special power from them.
Because of that, they looked at Lu Chen who was bathed in the sun’s light and was tall and strong with awe.
“Your Highness, may I know what business you have with us?”
As he spoke, the old man trembled in fear when he saw Lu Chen.
In ancient times, there was a saying that all things were low-grade, and only those who were good at reading books were good.
In this era, it was similar. However, the highest level of education had changed to martial arts.
Therefore, the blacksmiths didn’t dare to show any respect to a martial arts practitioner like Lu Chen.
Especially when they saw how Lu Chen suppressed all the opposition with a single sentence. His dictatorial attitude reminded them of a tyrant.
Lu Chen didn’t know what they were thinking.
On the other hand, Lu Chen was very nice to the elders. Although he also felt that strength was the most important thing, he would still respect those who were capable.
In order to show his sincerity, Lu Chen even shook his body. As he shook his body, Lu Chen’s height grew from four meters to two meters.
Although this height was still very tall for a human, it was only considered tall and not abnormal.
While maintaining his height, Lu Chen said gently, ”
old man, you don’t have to be so formal. I’ve asked you to come here to plan a complete city. This should be your old profession. You won’t make it difficult for me, right? ”
The old men were puzzled by Lu Chen’s respectful attitude. Even in the civilized Yunzhou, as craftsmen, they weren’t treated this way, let alone in the barbaric wilderness.
Therefore, the elders quickly said, ” it’s not difficult, not difficult at all. Your Highness, please rest assured. Leave the construction to us.
I wonder if your Highness has any requests? ”
requirements. I don’t need you to build it magnificently, but at least it must be clean and neat.
Lu Chen quickly told the master builder his requirements, such as the houses must be neat, the streets must be complete, the public bathhouses, the underground drainage system, and the public toilets must be clean.
Lu Chen had a lot of requests and after hearing them, the few old men looked at Lu Chen with a strange expression.
Of course, they weren’t making things difficult for them. Although Lu Chen had many requests, they were all practical. They didn’t care about the exquisiteness or grandeur, they only wanted to be practical and clean. They could easily fulfill his requests.
What surprised the Master Builders was that Lu Chen, a barbarian, had a higher standard of hygiene than the people of Yunzhou. At the same time, some of Lu Chen’s construction ideas also made the Master Builders ‘eyes light up.
It was only natural. After all, Lu Chen had the knowledge of the 21st century. He might not know how to build a city perfectly, but he could still give some advanced suggestions.
When Lu Chen mentioned it, red butterfly Ji’s face also lit up.
Following the caravan, she had been to many barbarian tribes. Other than the palace, red butterfly Ji rarely left the sky Whale.
It couldn’t be helped. Those villages were filled with barbarians who urinated and defecated everywhere. Not to mention shame, just the smell alone was enough to make people not dare to enter.
Not to mention, the Barbarian tribes had all kinds of livestock. The things that the livestock pulled would have an unforgettable taste in summer.
Only the Barbarian imperial court was better. Only the middle area was better, and the outer areas were dirty and messy.
After following Lu Chen, red butterfly Ji was prepared to suffer and she tried her best to endure.
She had never thought of giving advice on hygiene. In order to please Lu Chen, she would rather endure it herself than to trouble Lu Chen.
my suggestion will make my husband overthink and think that I’m insulting his people. Just bear with it. When the palace is built, I can use scented powder to cover the stench around me.
These were red butterfly Ji’s thoughts. But now, she found that she didn’t have to endure it anymore. Her husband wasn’t a barbaric person. Under such circumstances, she was naturally happy.
my husband is indeed the best. Such a proposal would be a good city in Yunzhou, no, even in the Central Plains.
In the midst of the Master Builder’s surprise and red butterfly Ji’s joy, Lu Chen’s plan for his own town was completed.
However, after he finished, Lu Chen noticed that the Master Builders didn’t move for a long time. This made Lu Chen frown.
what’s wrong? can’t you satisfy these requirements? ”
Considering the craftsmanship of this era, Lu Chen had already reduced his requirements as much as possible. If the Master Builders still couldn’t do it, Lu Chen would have a headache.
Fortunately, the master craftsmen were still capable.
Their silence was only because they were shocked by Lu Chen’s advanced construction experience.
When they saw Lu Chen frowning, they quickly said, ” “Your Highness, I can do it, I can do it.”
“These things can be easily done.”
don’t worry, Your Highness. It won’t take long for us to come up with a blueprint for your construction.
Lu Chen’s request was too little and the area was a flat plain. Soon, a master architect drew on a blueprint for half an hour and handed it to Lu Chen.
After a closer look, Lu Chen also nodded in satisfaction.
Not only did the city plan have the things he wanted, but there were also some situations that he didn’t consider. There were also annotations and hints in the plan. After careful consideration, Lu Chen made a promise to the Master Builders.
you’ve done a good job. From now on, I’ll have to trouble you to build according to these drawings. My people will be your workers. They are strong and should be able to build the town quickly. After it’s built, you’ll have your benefits.
Lu Chen noticed the Master Builders ‘faces were all bitter after he said that.
Lu Chen was surprised,’what’s wrong? Are you dissatisfied with the treatment? If you need anything, you can just tell me. ”
They looked at each other. Finally, a master stood out. Your Highness, you can pay me according to the normal market price, but … the master paused for a moment and looked at the strong barbarians around him before continuing, ” “It’s just that we can’t command your people, Your Highness!”
This was indeed a problem. The barbarians would only submit to those who were stronger than them. These Master Builders might have enough knowledge, but they couldn’t make the barbarians submit.
But to Lu Chen, it was a simple matter.
With a shake of his body, he returned to his four-meter height. Then, his height increased again, reaching eight meters in no time.
In his giant form, Lu Chen grabbed the metal rod on his back with a sword in one hand and a metal rod in the other. With a twist of his hands, the Dragonslayer swordspear appeared in his hands.
He spun the 10-meter long weapon in the air and slammed it on the ground.
“BOOM!”
In an instant, the ground within a radius of a few miles began to shake. At the same time, a thunderous voice reverberated above the entire barbarian tribe, ” “Everyone, come over here.”
Under Lu Chen’s command, all the barbarians gathered around in 30 seconds.
The place where the totem pillar was erected was a high platform. Lu Chen stood on the platform and looked at the gathered barbarians. He then said, ” these Masters are the builders I’ve invited. From now on, they will be in charge of the construction of the town. You will work as the workers for the time being.
These words caused a commotion among the barbarians.
silence! Lu Chen immediately said.
Lu Chen used a threatening technique in his words. As soon as the silence came out, not to mention the barbarians, even the sound of insects disappeared without a trace.
Lu Chen looked at the quiet surroundings and smiled, ”
“This is my decision. Of course, I also know that my decision can’t satisfy everyone. I’m still very open-minded about this. Those who are dissatisfied can come up now. We’ll deal with it according to the rules of the clan. No matter what the outcome is, I won’t blame you.”
Lu Chen then shook his eight-meter tall body. His bones cracked like firecrackers and a sense of oppression appeared on the Barbarian in front of him.
It wasn’t pressure, it was Lu Chen’s overpowering strength that brought the barbarians pressure. It was like the pressure of a higher life form against a lower life form. Under the pressure, many of the barbarians broke out in cold sweat.
At this moment, Lu Chen’s voice sounded again, ” I’ll make it clear again. I won’t blame you if you’re not convinced. After all, I’m not a demon!
When these words rang out, there was no sound from below.
