The Caines Courtyard is generally divided into three areas.

The Goblin Kingdom, the Artificial Forest, the Snow Ridge Ranch and the Valley of the Dead together make up the first half of the Caines Courtyard.

Beyond the barrier of mountains and valleys lies the bloody hills in the center of Caines Courtyard.

Only by crossing the bloody hills can you reach the 'Demon's Nest' where the Lord of the Courtyard lives, where the Demon King of the Caines Courtyard resides.

Arachne, who appeared late, was the demon general who commanded the Bloody Hills.

As a commander, Arachne's strength is superior to the other four commanders.

Because Mu Hua had seen this Arachne catch the Snow Queen Leticia and make her behave in all kinds of ways.

In front of everyone, she called Krypnos a bastard, but the lich remained humble.

When Arachne appeared, the other leaders showed respect and obedience to her. Arachne was stronger than the other monster leaders, probably by a lot.

"Humans, I am disappointed in you. You should have shown me more courage and determination. The war ended too early. I only saw cunning in you. You didn't even fight against the real goblin army."

Walking to the opposite side of the delegation, with the wailing banshees standing respectfully on both sides, Arachne held an hourglass-shaped object in her hand and spoke to Tennyson.

"Guardian of the earth, death only brings fear to mankind. It is not conducive to the long-term development of the courtyard. Of course, if you want war, I will give you war." Tennyson politely spoke standard diplomatic rhetoric.

"However, a war of higher intensity will be beyond our control. If we re-evaluate your risk factor, you will no longer be facing us."

Taking a step forward, Tennyson faced the Arachne named Gamenea, his tone calm, yet subtly threatening.

Spider demons are not of the winged demon sequence. They are naturally friendly to the earth. Even if they become Arachne, they only have demon horns but not natural demon wings.

In people's legends, Arachne is always associated with fate and power, but in fact, the ideal evolutionary destination of the spider demon is "Gaia", which controls the power of the earth.

Although it is unclear what direction this Arachne will grow in, Arachne usually likes to be associated with the earth. This is why Tennyson calls her the Guardian of the Earth, which is a polite and flattering nickname.

"Put away your threats. Your childish methods are not worthy of being put on the table." Arachne sneered disdainfully. Her expression was as if she saw a little animal showing off in front of her. She was not angry at all, but instead gave people the illusion of doting.

"You should want the situation to be under control more than we do. This will be good for you, right?"

"Replace with someone else? Who, your king? Haha, then, you will be nothing."

"The controllability you mentioned is a gift from us. This gift has given you power and fame. So, you should know... um, gratitude. Yes, gratitude as you humans say."

"At the very least, you people, everyone present here! You should know how to be grateful." Arachne glanced at each member of the delegation in turn, including the guards who avoided her sight, and finally revealed a happy smile.

"Hehe, what does it matter if more ordinary humans and low-end monsters die?"

"After all, we are in the same group, aren't we?" Arachne smiled at Tennyson.

"Jie Jie~!"

"Hahaha~"

"Hee hee~"

As Arachne spoke, some strange expressions appeared among the delegation's guards, and several other monster leaders on the monster side laughed in agreement.

Mu Hua withdrew his gaze from the hourglass in Arachne's hand and glanced at Arachne's mature and delicate face with some surprise.

This high-ranking demon seems to be very reasonable...

"Shut up, don't assign the devil's thinking to humans." Some people in the delegation seemed to be thinking about something, while others were furious. The strange atmosphere was interrupted by Odysseus, whose scolding voice was mixed with a hint of dragon power.

To be honest, the first quality required of those selected into the delegation is the ability to deal with Arachne's charm that has reached the level of mental pollution.

Whether it is mental stability or other abilities to stay awake, everyone has their own ways to deal with hypnosis, charm, fear, etc.

And what Gamenie said may be quite shocking to some young people who are not very worldly-wise. No matter whether there are casualties in the war or not, Tennyson and his gang are still the vested interests after all.

But these members of the delegation are not from the garrison regiment. They are all adventurers, and can even be said to be veterans among adventurers.

They had seen what they should and shouldn't have seen, and they were no longer people whose cognition could be shaken by words alone. But words other than mental interference also had a rational impact. When Arachne's charm was combined with the slightly extreme but revealing words, it still made some people emotionally unstable.

Odysseus's scolding was not to explain the difference between the thinking of humans and demons, but more to use the dragon's power to disrupt the atmosphere created by Arachne, so that people would not think too much at inappropriate times and places.

As for the truth? Not to mention a king like Tennyson who started out as an adventurer, even Mu Hua, huh, is this a group of reasonable people?
What may influence them more is morality, but it probably has nothing to do with reason.

"Hehe, Odysseus, do you know that I will be tolerant enough to you?" Facing Odysseus's rebuke with dragon power, Jamene chuckled and shook her head.

"You are very famous among humans. Do you want to come to our side? Share the contract. If you join us, your contracted dragon will have a greater chance of growing to the level of a giant dragon."

"What do you think? You probably don't like the fate of reincarnation, right? We can help you gain greater power and a longer life." Jiamene said temptingly.

These monster leaders have human demon followers under their command, and these demon followers apparently leaked the information of the delegation members to the devil.

In other words, the demon can be regarded as a window for the devil to gain an in-depth understanding of the human world, and among all the members of the delegation, Jamene seems to value Odysseus more.

Come to think of it, if Odysseus, the famous brave mentor, could be made to become a demon, once the news spreads, it would be strange if the human world doesn’t explode. By then, it would be better if the Caines Courtyard is not too lively. . .

The crowd did not become nervous because of Jamene's instigation. It seemed that this was not the first time that Odysseus had encountered such a situation. Mu Hua, hiding behind Odysseus, muttered softly.

"Dragon level? With those philosopher's stones in your hand?"

"Hmm?" Mu Hua's unconscious mumbling attracted Jia Menie's attention.

"Oh, I remember you, you're the human who touched my body, do my breasts look good?"

As if she was taking a close look at Mu Hua for the first time, Jamene did not care about Mu Hua's ability like Krypnos did. Instead, she looked thoughtful and after a moment she suddenly brought up a somewhat scary topic.

There was an instant of silence. Not only the envoys, but also several demon generals and the wailing banshees nearby, everyone's eyes turned to Mu Hua.

It was a look as if he was looking at a monster, and Tennyson's eyelids were twitching.

It would have been fine if the Goblin General and the Baran Demon who rode the dragon had specifically targeted this kid for trouble, but now, he actually molested Arachne's breast?
Everyone was really wondering what Mu Hua had done in this courtyard. Tennyson looked at Mu Hua from head to toe with a questioning expression.

"Don't look, I didn't touch it, it was just that Raven bumped into it accidentally." Mu Hua felt uncomfortable being stared at, secretly hating himself for being too talkative, so he started to explain.

"Are you careless? I kind of regret not capturing you back then. You have great abilities. If you join us, I might be able to help you replace Krypnos, and you can become the new master of the Valley of the Dead."

Not caring about other people's surprise, Jiamene did not mention the Philosopher's Stone. She looked at Mu Hua carefully and once again said the words that frightened the lich Krypnos.

The atmosphere changed. Different from everyone's focus, Mu Hua suddenly realized that since Jiamene appeared, the atmosphere between the delegation and the monster leader had changed in just a few words.

It was a strange harmony, but it was a harmony that even bigwigs like Tennyson didn't seem to be aware of, and it made Mu Hua's eyelids twitch.

Damn, they risked their lives to negotiate with the devil, but the topic they talked about was you kill me and I kill you. Do you really think Arachne is the big sister next door?

Is this atmosphere really okay now?

The embarrassed and weak expression on Mu Hua's face gradually disappeared, and as Mu Hua's expression gradually became serious, fortunately Tennyson and the others quickly realized something.

Everyone looked at Jia Menie indifferently, ignoring her attempts to win over Mu Hua, and their eyes occasionally swept over the hourglass in her hand.

The hourglass was not filled with sand, but the Philosopher's Stone. Although the colors were a bit messy and compared with the Philosopher's Stone in Mu Hua's hand, they did not seem to be very pure, like a piece of cake mixed with sand, but they should be the Philosopher's Stone for sure.

This was the first time that Mu Hua saw the Philosopher's Stone in the hands of other people. Mu Hua roughly estimated that there should be forty or fifty units.

"Heh, this is a magic weapon that transforms the Philosopher's Stone. I originally expected to collect more than a hundred through this war."

"What a pity. Never mind. Let me tell you about the order you have brought. I hope you won't let me down again." Seeing that everyone's emotions had recovered, Jiamene's expression gradually became cold.

Holding the hourglass in her hand, a cold light of indifference to life flashed in Camene's eyes. She motioned everyone to take a seat. The big sister next door disappeared, and Arachne's pride was re-displayed at this moment.

However, facing the philosopher's stones that she regarded as treasures, Mu Hua felt rather strange.

That hourglass should be a magic weapon that can transform extreme emotions into the Philosopher's Stone. However, since the war began, Mu Hua has only collected some tattered monster corpses on the battlefield, and he has obtained three or four hundred units of the Philosopher's Stone.

Why do you want us to get involved with her? If he wasn't afraid that she would steal his money and kill him, Mu Hua would have tried to hit her butt with the Philosopher's Stone. (End of this chapter)
