Chapter 208: Outside the Night City
The City of Oblivion is like a shining pearl in the wilderness. The arcane ring suspended high in the sky constitutes the superstructure of the city. It is an area that Mu Hua and Nick are not qualified to set foot in.

When viewed from a distance, some floating castles are connected on the outskirts of the Arcane Ring. This is a city that perfectly combines technology and magic.

Compared to the neat and mysterious Forgetful City, the area outside the city maintains a natural environment where plants grow wildly.

This was definitely not intentional. I'm afraid it's just that no one cares and no one pays attention to what's happening outside the city.

Except for a relatively straight road that runs through the entire courtyard, the area near the Forgotten City has basically no signs of artificial construction.

Even this road looked as if it had been swept out by some powerful magic.

The primitive natural environment breeds a large number of poisonous insects, snakes and rats. It is said that the demons who manage the courtyard will also release some magical beasts into the courtyard.

But even mid-level magical beasts will usually be trapped and killed by the little demons who regard them as a threat before they can reproduce naturally.

Well, the little devil is just a snack for most mid-level monsters, but, Mi Cang, can also drown people...

The Daytime River, a river that seems to always emit a purple glow.

This river is the main river channel of Yongye Territory, and it winds and connects all directions of the courtyard.

The reason why this river emits a strange light is that the demons throw demon eggs into the river, letting them drift with the current and float to various places in the courtyard, and also allowing the demon eggs to hatch in the water.

This is a river modeled after the blood sea of ​​hell. It is the cradle of little demons.

Although the color of the water is strange, it has to be said that the river water does not affect human drinking during the day, and it even has a certain effect on improving human physique.

As for the effectiveness? Well, at least it is much stronger than the mineral water that Mu Hua praised in his previous life, but it always reminds Mu Hua of a group of cheaters, so Mu Hua respectfully declines this river water. . .

A large number of skeletons and undead are walking in the lush wilderness, and flocks of ravens are flying among the shady green trees. When these ravens fly and gather, they form a flock of birds like a dark cloud.

Leaving the city and setting foot on this pristine land, it was fortunate that Mu Hua had a face with a healthy complexion, otherwise the atmosphere he created would definitely make him look more like a lich than a human.

The undead team is composed of skeleton warriors and skeleton guards. Even if there are hundreds of undead of this level, the little demons will not flee at the first sign of trouble.

The undead lance controlled by the wizard's hand was suspended beside Mu Hua. It was like a lurking poisonous snake. Some little demons hiding among the trees, grass and stones would often be pierced by the lance as long as they came into Mu Hua's sight.

Skeleton guard summoned beasts, fifty dragon tooth soldiers, more than thirty skeleton mages, and hundreds of skeleton warriors who were regarded as cannon fodder by Mu Hua.

These undead hunted in groups of three or five. Except for the Skeleton Mage who followed Mu Hua, the other skeleton undead would occasionally drag back some dead or half-crippled imps so that the Skeleton Mage could gain experience.

Mu Hua has quite a few experience orbs, but he doesn't intend to use them on the Skeleton Mages, at least not before they are unable to increase their own experience.

A considerable number of skeletons and undead spirits were scattered around, giving a sense of grandeur.

In fact, Mu Hua has more skeleton warriors, but he has not yet found the place where the little demons are more concentrated. Releasing more will only slow down the exploration speed.

Imps are different from goblins. Strictly speaking, imps cannot be considered social creatures.

Because they have a very strong need for evolution, and for demons at this stage, eating their own kind is very helpful for them to clarify their own bloodline.

It's like simple addition and subtraction. A little devil with the blood of the Fire Demon can perfect its bloodline by eating other little devils with the blood of the Fire Demon. If it eats enough, the bloodline of the Fire Demon will stand out among the many bloodlines.

But apart from the dominant bloodline inherited directly from the previous generation, the little demons don't know what other bloodline they have.

As the saying goes, only children make choices, little devil, I want them all!

Since there is no choice, why not just eat as much as possible?
This also means that the little demons may be stabbed in the back by their own kind at any time.

Unless they encounter a threat that requires them to gather together, they will choose to live alone and hide most of the time.

Generally, when skeletons gather together, the attribute status of skeletons of all levels are very balanced, because those that are not balanced will be killed by them.

If more than a dozen little demons gather together in a relatively comfortable environment without corresponding restraints, within a few days, these dozen little demons may all end up in the stomach of one of them.

This kind of survival atmosphere of absolute survival of the fittest may also be the fundamental reason for the devil's cunning and cruel character. For Mu Hua now, the little devils are easy to kill. They are much safer than the little ghosts who can cast fireball magic.

However, due to his lack of concentration, Mu Hua could not find the feeling of joy in killing.

Move forward along a section of the river leading to the Daylight River, stopping and starting from time to time, and waiting for the skeleton warriors chasing the fleeing imp to catch up from time to time.

Occasionally, flying winged demons can be seen in the sky, and when they observe the undead groups on the ground, they mostly watch with curiosity.

When the existence of the human being Mu Hua is confirmed, the winged demons will often leave directly.

As night fell, Mu Hua arrived at the river. Just as the succubus lady from "Garden of Eden" had said, there were many little demons gathering along the banks of the Daytime River.

The Daylight River must have been transformed by the Lord of the Courtyard using some means. This river is very suitable for hatching demon eggs.

Because many demon eggs will hatch in the Daylight River, instead of attacking their own kind that also pose a deadly threat to them, many little demons in the courtyard will lurk by the water in order to sneak attack the newly hatched little demons.

This is a world full of barbarism and cruelty. Compared with the aggressive little demons in the wild, the higher-ranking demons in this courtyard are surprisingly harmonious.

The wilderness was filled with contradictions and chaos, and along the way, he harvested some attribute crystals and several Mage's Hand skill stones. Mu Hua seemed to have become a cruel member of this wilderness.

"Hey! Look what I see? A necromancer." A rude but somewhat teasing voice came.

The Daytime River is not a small ditch. Mu Hua asked the undead to search for the little demons nearby along the river. In the river that was more than ten feet wide, on a ship docked, a horned demon commander saw Mu Hua who was driving the undead.

"Human, take care of those filthy undead spirits. This is the first time I see a necromancer in Yongye Territory. I thought you were only interested in bones and corpses."

Making eye contact with Mu Hua, the Horned Demon Commander walked towards Mu Hua with a team of low- and middle-level demons of mixed races.

The Horned Demon Overlord is a strong demon that can reach four meters in height when grown up. Overlord is not their position, but the name of this tribe.

This type of demon is a mid-level demon, but its strength is generally at the level of a high-level demon.

They have thick demon horns, strong physiques, and are good at close combat.

Because they are almost immune to all mind-interference magic, whether it is Arachne's charm, the headless horseman's fear, or the nightmare's hypnosis, they will not have any adverse effects on them.

They can even ignore the might of the dragon.

Therefore, they are usually appointed as front-line commanders like military supervisors on the battlefield, which is the origin of their name "Overlord".

The number of demons led by the Horned Demon Warlord is not large, including more than thirty Hell Werewolves, more than a dozen Claw Demons, a Spider Demon still in spider form, and two Lamia Demons similar to Medusa.

This is also a demon hunting team. Their purpose is the same as Mu Hua's, which is to hunt down little demons.

According to the customs of the human world, they should be considered civil servants in this courtyard.

Imps don't just attack other imps, they will attack any creature by setting traps.

The little demons gathered by the river are also quite troublesome. In this courtyard, there will also be creatures like the Horned Demon Overlord in front of you, who will clean up the little demons regularly.

While they kill the little demons, they also collect their corpses, and these corpses will be used to feed some of the little demons they raise.

So that demons with relatively good bloodlines can be born among those little demons, and then the Lord of the Courtyard will screen and select those suitable to be subdued and raised.

The master of this courtyard does not seem to be obsessed with the emotional power provided by humans. This place is like her demon breeding ground.

And judging from the fact that she mainly chooses female demons, perhaps this is just her spare time work that is better than nothing?

"What? Is there any problem?" Facing the approaching Horned Demon General, Mu Hua was cold but also a little wary.

Although I heard that in this courtyard, the 'official' demons should be posing no threat to humans, but who can say for sure about these demons?
