Dream Travel

Chapter 374 Someone's having a barbecue?

As the wise demon prepared to leave again, he witnessed an unbelievable scene: the guy had actually started grilling meat.

The food is from those monsters he controls. Can humans eat that?
Hmm, it seems like I can actually eat a lot. If I get really hungry, I can have a couple of bites. Anyway, it's not the devil who's in pain.

But Bai Mu ate without any problems, and the eating process was quite wild.

They didn't even spare the marrow of the monsters, even though these monsters had all mutated after being influenced by demonic power.

Even if the meat has been purified, ordinary people are still prone to diarrhea after eating it, and if it is not purified, they may be poisoned to death.

"...Is this even human?"

The demon, having found nothing new, left, and the dominated desert lizard shook its head and returned to normal.

The departing demon quickly reported its discovery to its master.

"Who is he?"

A primal demon looked at the intelligence report with a puzzled expression, the image generated by the demonic spell showing the appearance of the white curtain.

"never seen it."

"do not know."

"That sword is nice, I'll take it."

"He's alright-looking, he's mine now—"

"?" The primal demon who asked the question looked at the demon who spoke. "A succubus, huh? Well, that's alright then."

There are many types of primal demons. Although many demons can change their gender, this change is only for the purpose of seducing humans. A demon that can change its gender is not necessarily a succubus.

Among demons, succubi are born female demons, although they may be relatively weak compared to other demons.

However, nothing is absolute. Some original demons worked for the demon lords of Hell before they came to the real world, and the demon lords also had succubi.

Moreover, the fact that this succubus can stand here shows that she is not weak and does not need to rely on other demons.

Furthermore, this succubus's horns are different from those of a normal demon.

Normal demon horns are more like goat horns, but this succubus's horns are different from those of a normal demon... they are dragon horns.

She is a demon half-dragon and half-demon.

Being targeted by such a half-blooded succubus, any other demon could imagine how horribly the other would die... but the death would probably be quite wonderful, right?
The other demons had no intention of provoking this half-succubus.

This demon is quite famous in the demon world. When he first arrived in this world, some native demons wanted to make him their vassal.

To many demons, this was no problem. After all, a succubus is lucky to be chosen by a powerful demon.

As a result, the original demon was killed.

This succubus is a hybrid of a dragon and a demon from hell, which gives her formidable fighting prowess; she is nothing like a normal succubus.

Her dragon bloodline grants her exceptional physical strength, surpassing many native demons. Her succubus nature allows her to plunder the life force of her enemies during battle.

She doesn't need to use another form of close-range combat; as a succubus, she can simply drain her enemies dry.

Later, some demons tried to cause trouble for the other party. If such a special succubus could be subdued, it would be of great help to those demons.

After that, no demon had such thoughts anymore.

However, some demons still regret it. When this demon first appeared, she was only 1.6 meters tall. However, after she killed some demons, she gradually recovered to her current height of 2.1 meters.

Some demons have analyzed that her height might be related to her power level; at the time, she was in a state of insufficient power, which is why she was so short.

Although she wouldn't be considered a very high-ranking demon after returning to normal, she is a succubus, and therefore wouldn't act like a normal demon.

As for the reason for the change in her height, it should be due to her mixed race. Her mixed race gives her combat power that is different from ordinary succubi, but it may also cause her unstable state.

When strength is insufficient, the drawbacks of instability become apparent.

Although this instability didn't seem to have much of an impact based on her initial behavior, it did prevent the demon from bluffing.

If the other side shrinks its strength one day, a bunch of primal demons will definitely come looking for trouble.

Demons love to kick someone when they're down; they're not knights with any chivalrous spirit.

“If you have the ability, then take him away.” Another demon chuckled in a low voice.

They wouldn't care too much about a human, even if Bai Mu's combat strength was not weak and he should be a human genius.

But how long can such a genius survive in the hands of a succubus who is half dragon and half demon?

As long as the other side can no longer stand upright in the human camp, it doesn't matter who deals with it.

Unless White Curtain has other unique features that attract the attention of other demons, there will be new competition.

However, at this moment, no demon went to compete with the succubus for the White Curtain.

However, the demonic greatsword that Bai Mu carried attracted the attention of many demons.

That weapon might not mean much in the hands of beings like the Demon Grand Duke, but it's a different story here.

Such a large piece of hell metal would take even a real, native demon a very long time to collect.

A considerable amount of hellish metal flowed out of the Dream Hell, but it wasn't nearly enough for them to share, let alone for crafting a demonic greatsword.

But Bai Mu was able to bring out such a weapon from the dream. Judging from the thickness and width of the greatsword, this weapon is made of very high-quality materials.

The demon has reforged the greatsword and is confident he can create at least three more refined and powerful greatswords.

If we were to make other weapons, we could make even more.

"You can take the person, but you can forget about that weapon, okay?"

“I don’t like those kinds of weapons.” The succubus’s words did not surprise the other demons. She had a very strong body and preferred to crush her enemies with her body rather than use weapons.

Some demons believe this is the effect of the dragon's bloodline.

Their world also has dragons. The dragons in the human world might be more normal, but the dragons in hell are mostly vicious dragons.

"When are you going to take action?"

A demon whose appearance lacked many demonic features, and who, apart from his skin color, looked more like a human, spoke.

"I won't make a move." The succubus glanced at the other party. Demons that don't look physically strong aren't necessarily weak, but these kinds of demons often like to scheme.

Asking her to take action at this time indicates ill intentions, as the location of the white curtain is not far from the alien realm.

Not only him, but the human forces were also very close to the alien realm. Everyone was smart enough to know that the original demons from the alien dream would not come into contact with the Dream Erosion, so they had a natural layer of protection near the alien realm.

If it weren't for the extremely harsh environment, those humans could have spent a very long time lingering around this alien land.

In areas near foreign lands, the chance of being counter-killed is not high, but it's not zero either.

Moreover, this alien realm has only just taken shape, and no one knows whether it will expand further.

Otherwise, the demons wouldn't only send some monsters when they take action.

With their strength, these people would be eliminated on the spot.

The night was not over yet. Bai Mu was eating. He was not hostile to the remaining survivors and was not afraid of being exposed.

Meanwhile, in the survivors' makeshift camp, those who had been attacked were unable to sleep, and some of the wounded and those in good condition were dealing with the Dream Erosion Crystals.

These Dream Erosion Crystals were obtained after they left the Dream Realm. When people leave the Dream Realm, they carry a certain amount of Dream Erosion.

Even if everything on their person is foreign.

The Dream Erosion that is carried out will become a low-quality Dream Erosion Crystal with many impurities. If it weren't to avoid contamination, no one would want to throw it away.

If you carry it with you, you also risk getting hurt accidentally.

However, the survivors who escaped were all warriors, and they did not forget to collect all the resources they could while escaping the alien world.

Including these dream-eroded crystals.

Now the Dream Erosion Crystals have come in handy. They've processed the Dream Erosion Crystals in a series of ways, turning them into consumables such as ammunition.

The surviving alchemists temporarily sealed away the processed Dream Erosion Crystals. When they encounter the primordial demons from the Otherworld, these crystals will become powerful weapons against them, even more effective than holy water.

Elsewhere, a group of alchemists were also busy, using holy water to treat the flesh of some monsters, trying their best to make the meat normal.

Then it was made into jerky.

Trapped in this place, even with limited time, they did not forget to try to store as many survival resources as possible.

They don't eat this dried meat right away; they just process it to a degree that allows it to be preserved for a long time.

The survivors will only consume these dried meats once their existing resources for survival have been depleted to a certain extent.

The jerky is made from the flesh of monsters, and even if it has been purified with holy water, it cannot be guaranteed that the jerky is completely harmless.

Eating these things is not good unless absolutely necessary.

When someone actually decides to eat it, it means the situation has become so dire that the dangers can no longer be ignored.

"...Why does it smell like barbecue?"

A cook who was processing dried meat looked puzzled. He twitched his nose to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

"Really?" The person helping nearby was even more puzzled; he hadn't detected anything amiss. "Could it be something we're handling?"

The cook frowned and shook his head, saying, "It's different. That roasted meat has a burnt smell, unlike what we make."

"...Shall we go take a look?"

The cook glanced at his young assistant and threw a large piece of meat onto the hood of the car in front of him: "I'm not going! Chop this meat and wait for me to come back."

After saying this, the cook, who was more like a warrior, left. Although he didn't intend to go and take a look, he certainly wouldn't be careless because of this. He would report the matter first before dealing with the monster's meat.

As for the place where you smell barbecue, going there at this time would be just asking for trouble.

He could also confirm that the smell of that roasted meat was not from human flesh, but from the monsters they were dealing with.

That alone is enough; the unknown existence of the barbecue monster is much safer than the unknown existence of the barbecue man.

He was certain that this was roasted meat, not the smell of completely burnt meat. As for why the other party wasn't taking the initiative to make contact, he'd let the temporary leader figure that out.
