Although it is hard to imagine, the ghoul tribe did keep their promise.
Lu Li and the ghoul warriors, who ended up in an ugly fight and returned to the ghoul lair, encountered no obstruction in their departure, except that when they passed another blood pool, the Silent One roared and rushed towards them with blood-colored waves.
Then the blood spirit warlock who saw him off manipulated the blood and dragged him back to the blood pool.
Passing the outpost lair spreading to the south, the Blood Spirit stopped at the edge covered with rotten plague.
"If you have any doubts, you are welcome to come here."
"I will."
Lu Li led the ghoul warriors away until they almost disappeared at the end of the street. The blood spirit holding a cane could still be seen standing at the edge of the outpost.
The existence of the outpost kept the Southern Weibo silent, and Lu Li's journey back was even quieter than when he came.
Weird is not afraid of ghouls, but he doesn't want to provoke them either.
The ghoul lair was closed after Lu Li left, and the door was slowly raised after Lu Li returned.
"Let all the ghouls gather in front of the cabin."
Lu Li and the four ghoul warriors said, holding the spinal staff and walking towards the skeleton hut, opening the door curtain that was shaking the bone bell.
"You're still alive."
The ghoul warlock with the scars on his cheeks filled with flesh and blood faced Lu Li, seeking the result: "So, was it successful?"
"The Outpost recognized the sovereignty and leadership of the Nest."
The ghoul warlock felt an emotion called surprise, but soon realized the problem: "Who is the leader?"
"I."
"you?"
"Yes, me."
Lu Li raised his staff and smashed the ghoul warlock's fragile skull.
"The new boss of the ghoul lair."
Lu Li didn't mind that the Skeleton House was splashed with filth, but after all, it didn't feel comfortable when it was splashed on his body. So he waved the "staff" without much effort and it just deflated the warlock's head.
The ghoul warlock died on the spot, and invisible chaotic blood light rose from its corpse and penetrated into the land of ghoul heroes deep in the void.
As you know, everything about ghouls belongs to the Ghoul King.
So the question arises - does He realize that he is an alien who does not believe in Him?
Lu Li stood quietly in the Skeleton Hut and waited for a while. Nothing happened. The Ghoul King obviously didn't care about the life or death of a warlock.
Grabbing the corpse of the ghoul wizard, which was dripping with plague, Lu Li got out of the skeleton hut and threw it in front of the group of ghouls who retreated in fear outside the gathering hut.
"I am your leader now."
…
"So what are you going to do next? Then usurp the position of the leader of the ghouls and become the leader of the outpost, then invade the blood plague group and become the leader of the group, and finally trace back to the source to kill the gods and become the king of the ghouls?"
At the farm outside the city, Ophelia asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Lu Li had many questions to think about.
If you want to integrate the power of ghouls to resist the east, it is inevitable to deal with the blood plague group, and it is also inevitable to continue to advance along the ghoul system.
But just as he feared, as he deepened into the group, Lu Li would sooner or later come into contact with the god of all ghouls: the King of Ghouls.
What does He think of humans disguised as ghouls?
Lu Li asked the Land of Light to investigate the information about the Ghoul King and find out the nature of the Ghoul King.
Compared to the King of Ghouls who is still far away, there is another doubt that is very close at hand.
"Do you think the warlock knows your identity?" Ophelia asked.
"It's all possible."
Whether the blood spirit understands the truth depends on the way it contacts other ghouls - Lu Li is just an example, or it sends similar invitations to many intelligent ghouls. But it is inevitable to continue to contact it.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a ghoul warlock." Claire said nonchalantly: "It can't be the ghoul king pretending to be one."
After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Li lost in thought and shouted in surprise: "You don't really think so, do you?"
"Anything is possible until the truth is revealed." Lu Li replied calmly.
"Why do you feel that you came back with a lot of questions when you went out?" Claire muttered and landed on top of Lu Li's head, "Can you tell me straight, what are you going to do next?"
"If the blood plague tribe wants to move south, stop them. If the blood plague tribe wants to resist the invasion, help them."
"How to stop it?"
"I can mimic ghouls, or I can mimic the weirdness that drives them away."
"Little Lemi, you are such a bad little bad guy. How can I help you?"
"The ghoul lair obeys my orders, sacrifices, and mobilizations, so that the King of Ghouls can focus his attention here."
"Uh... you know, I'm just a baby bird with a small head now..."
"The King of Ghouls has countless tribes under his command." Ophelia explained for Claire, "Would it want an insignificant tribe to escape with its tail between its legs in front of the enemy, or would it want to bring plague and death like a warrior?
"
"I take back what I said before, little Lemi, you are a big bad guy."
Ophelia asked with concern: "You might be discovered if you do this."
"Compared with the risks, the rewards are worth it."
"I hope these weird things are worth your efforts to save." Claire suddenly stared at Ophelia, who was getting closer, "Ophelia, what's wrong with you?"
"This is why I like you."
Ophelia's slit flashed dark red, approaching Lu Li with scorching heat, "Stick to what is right, shield the weak from wind and rain, be gentle and wrapped in indifference... Lu Li, are you willing--"
"Wow wow wow chirp chirp coo coo -"
Claire jumped up and flapped her wings to slap Ophelia on the head, "Lu Li and Anna Protection Association reminds you that this is prohibited!"
"What is that?"
Ophelia gradually cooled down.
"A secret society dedicated to maintaining the long-lasting love between Lu Li and Anna."
"Can I join?" Elena also came up.
"Okay, you are the vice president now." Claire stretched out her wings and overlapped Elena's twisted flesh arms.
Click——
Opening the can with his claws, Lu Li grabbed the tin and poured the meat soup into his mouth, as if he had nothing to do with the chatter and noise around him.
After filling the belly of the ghoul body, Lu Li returned to the castle and led the ghoul guards who knew nothing about it back to the ghoul lair.
The lively lair was no longer as gloomy as before - because Lu Li canceled the sacrifice session prepared by the previous warlock and distributed the sacrifices to the ghouls, thus gaining the loyalty of all the lair members.
Lu Li's condition isn't too good, nor is it too bad.
The cursed title can protect him and leave in time. Accordingly, Lu Li needs to personally promote the development of the situation.
Ghoul lairs are different from outposts. They are very weak and more remote. If he wants to influence the outposts or even the blood plague groups in the east, Lu Li must work hard to get close to the vortex.
This means the risk of exposure is increasing.
And because they all belong to the Ghoul King, Lu Li no longer has to worry about the souls of Midnight City among them.
This means that Lu Li can be more aggressive than all the ghouls.
