The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 700 - 382: The Trained Demon

The old man had a head of bright red hair, and his skin looked grayish-white.

The robe he wore was somewhat ordinary, with nothing special about it.

Even the wooden staff in his hand was quite unremarkable.

If it weren't for that striking hair color, he would look like just an ordinary old man with some spirit.

"Haven't seen strangers here for a long time, especially so many."

He tilted his head and looked at everyone.

"Are you lost?"

This prompted Miguel West to retort, "How could we possibly be lost."

"Is that so..." The old man pondered for a moment.

"Then are you hungry?"

"..."

This left everyone at a loss for words.

But this reaction seemed to convince the old man that he guessed correctly, and he smiled, "If you're hungry, come on in. However, I don't have much food here."

He patted the head of the three-headed hound lying nearby.

"He's quite the eater."

With his pats, the three-headed hound seemed to seize the opportunity and licked.

Instantly setting the old man's clothes ablaze.

"Ah!"

The old man screamed in horror, then hurriedly patted the flames.

A few swats extinguished the fire.

But a patch of his clothing was already burnt away, clearly beyond wearable.

The old man's visible anger led him to grab the stick and heavily smash it on the head of the nearby three-headed hound.

"You damn fool, I told you not to lick!"

But clearly, his hitting had little effect on the hound, it just whimpered twice symbolically.

The peculiar scene left everyone baffled.

The old man seemed somewhat too carefree.

Kana said, "No worries, we brought plenty of food, maybe we can even leave you some."

"Oh! Is that so? That's wonderful!"

The old man, who was just angry, immediately brightened up and smiled at the group.

Thus, despite wearing a badly burned and torn robe, he invited everyone into his wooden hut.

The hut looked like an ordinary cabin standing in the woods, nothing unusual about it.

When everyone flocked in, the small wooden hut seemed very cramped.

"Haha, it's been a long time since there were guests here."

Kana signaled with a glance.

Lululuse took out a bunch of simply processed ingredients from her space waist bag.

"Whoa! It's been so long since I've seen such fresh food."

Saying this, the old man checked the ingredients.

Finished, he tapped the cupboard with his wooden staff.

A dark energy immediately appeared above, covering the ceiling.

As the few people remained alert, small demons emerged from the energy wave covering the ceiling.

"You all, go cook."

The old man said this.

And surprisingly, these little demons showed no resentment, just babbled something and skillfully carried the ingredients to the small kitchen next to them.

The sight was so absurd that Bobo rubbed their eyes to ensure it wasn't an illusion?

Overwhelmed by curiosity, Bobo left their spot and peeked into the kitchen.

Not just her, everyone did the same.

They then saw the little demons bustling in the kitchen.

Using simple tricks to prepare the ingredients.

They used knives with smooth cooperation to chop vegetables and wash pots.

"If I told others about this scene, they'd surely think I was crazy," Miguel West commented.

The others nodded in agreement.

Then, they resumed their seats, trading stares with the old man.

The old man appeared slightly embarrassed.

"Sorry, it's been a long time since I interacted with outsiders."

"I'm Kana, leader of the Night Watchers."

Kana introduced himself.

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly responded, "My name is Terkel, as you can see, an old man studying the abyss and demons."

After the introduction, it seemed the old man had opened up.

"You say you're not lost, then you've come with a purpose? What is your purpose here?"

Kana looked at Terkel.

"I once heard that in the dense forest above this group, there's a hidden area.

In that area lives a secretive race unwilling to contact the rest of the world."

Briefly explaining, Kana stopped there.

Upon hearing this,

Terkel squinted slightly at Kana and everyone present.

His gaze carried a hint of threat.

But the group was unfazed by such threats.

From the moment they arrived, they remained vigilant.

Frost Lord seemed to sense the threat.

It grandly floated to the old man's face, swaying.

Even without expressing emotion or facial expressions, this behavior exuded an air of arrogance to everyone.

As if saying,

"What do you mean? Old man."

This scene left Terkel slightly bewildered.

The atmosphere slightly eased.

"Indeed an interesting weapon."

After speaking, he looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"Once you've filled your stomachs, leave here; it's dangerous and is not a place you should be."

Clearly, this old man didn't want to say much to them, since there was no foundation of trust between them.

And Kana also didn't plan to use any coercive means.

After contemplating, he simply raised his right hand.

Thus, in front of Terkel, Kana's right hand became covered with blood, and blood began transforming his entire right arm.

Like a certain kind of claw.

This was a sign of Kana's increasing control over blood with time; he could now partially transform into the Blood Demon.

A closer look would reveal the demonic aura entwined on the transformed arm.

"Hiss~ there's more outside? No, this aura... possesses a noble status, it's a lord, a high demon.

It's trapped, trapped in your body... even its soul together."

Feeling Kana's power, the old man stared at Kana in shock, unable to resist asking, "How did you do it? In such a situation, you can still move freely, you're not mad, you even mastered this power?"

This was incomprehensible, somewhat absurd.

"Are you seeking suppression? A means to escape?"

After speaking, he paused to think, then shook his head.

"No, your power is very stable... What is your purpose?"

Terkel's expression turned serious.

"To help you, to help you free yourselves from your inner demons. After all, for generations, you've been hidden here for millennia, now the world has changed, it's the time your power is needed.

And I can solve your inner demons, help you overcome the issues, take you out of here to face the world."

Hearing this, the expression on his face showed disbelief as he looked at Kana.

After all, when a stranger suddenly finds you and says this, you'd only think they're a fool.

"Don't hurry, let me explain it slowly."
