Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

Chapter 111 The Demon Clan's Conferment of Kingship

"What's your name?" the three-legged golden crow asked.

You damn mechanical bastard, you just wait. After I find out your name, I'll come and get you later.

Damn it, my precious set of treasures!

"My name is Bonana!" Bonana swung her hammer at the three-legged golden crow.

The three-legged golden crow knew it couldn't dodge, and it knew it would surely die if this hammer fell, so it mustered its primal force to prepare for self-destruction, ready to make a loud noise.

drink!

Suddenly, Bonana's hammer turned, startling the three-legged golden crow into hastily stopping its self-destruction.

boom!

Bona slammed her hammer to the right, colliding with a fiery claw that descended from the sky, tearing through space and carrying immense divine might.

If the three-legged golden crow hadn't been wearing heavy protective gear, it probably would have died from the powerful aftershocks, suffering the same fate as Nuolanshan in the original story.

"Bonana, have you no shame? How dare you attack a junior of my demon race!" A large bird covered in flames flew in the air.

"Scrap-feathered bird, aren't you on the Flame Sacrifice Continent? How did you end up here?" Bonana thought to herself, "This is bad."

This giant bird is an immortal king of the demon race, titled Blazing Fire. Its main battlefield is the Flame Sacrifice Continent, and it can also be said to be Bona's lifelong enemy.

The Fire King's wife died at the hands of Bona, and he vowed to kill Bona before he died.

After so many years of fighting, their strengths are evenly matched, and neither can gain the upper hand.

"You can come to the Seventh Battlefield, but I can't? Bonana, I really didn't expect you to get worse as you get older. A dignified King actually attacks a Domain Master. How disgraceful!" King of Blazing Fire mocked.

"It seems your demon race has really allied with the human race. Very good, very good." Bona was amused by her words, her eyes filled with fierceness.

"You're playing—yes, you've joined forces, what do you want?" Originally, the Fiery King wanted to explain, but then he thought, why should I explain to my enemy? My enemy's headache is my relief, my enemy's death is my party.

Let him misunderstand if he wants; it's best if he goes down a wrong path and never looks back. The two groups are already locked in a life-or-death struggle anyway, so who cares?

"You all must die!"

"You're the one who'll die!"

The two powerful figures who had been granted the title of King began to fight.

good chance!

The three-legged golden crow shrank its body, preparing to make a runaway.

"Young man, come to my divine kingdom, and I will protect you." The voice of the Fiery King rang in the mind of the three-legged golden crow, and the next second he appeared in the Fiery King's divine kingdom.

This is a continent, but there is not a single green leaf. There are only volcanoes one after another, and each volcano is filled with scorching lava, as if it is about to erupt at any moment.

boom!

The eruption happened just like that, and a firebird was shot into the air by the erupting lava.

Yoho!

The firebird, far from panicking, cheered joyfully, as if surfing.

Having spent many years on the battlefields beyond the realm, the three-legged golden crow had long since learned the languages ​​of other races, including the demon race, and could fully understand that the firebird was cheering.

It's just playing.

"Hey, you're new here!" The firebird flapped its wings and came over, curiously looking at the three-legged golden crow.

"You look so strange. How come you have three legs, and you don't look like me at all?" Firebird asked repeatedly.

The three-legged golden crow had no time to talk to it and plunged headfirst into the volcano's lava.

It needs to sort out its thoughts.

"Hey, you rude bird. I'll call them all to come and see the monster, hehe." The firebird flew away, but would return soon.

The three-legged golden crow sorted out its thoughts in the magma.

"First, the mechanical race already thought I was a demon, and then a demon king saved me. So his motive for saving me was because he thought I was a demon."

If the Demon King dies at the hands of the Mechanical Immortal, then I will not survive either.

If the demon king is immortal, I will have to disguise myself as a demon.

But how can I gain his trust?

How can I explain that I used to hang out with Yuan Meng and the others, and how can I explain that I helped the human race?

No, no, perhaps the demon king had no idea that I was with a human before.

Yes, he definitely didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have saved me.

Okay, so let's go back to the question we were asking earlier: how can I gain his trust?

Do demons need to register before going to the outer battlefields? What race am I? Where does my heritage come from, and where do my treasures come from?

Demons are beings of flesh and blood, and they can search my soul, which would completely expose my secrets.

Damn it, it seems like I'm going to die no matter what.

Depend on!

"I can only take it one step at a time. If all else fails, I'll just self-destruct. I'll die a glorious death, though it's a shame about all that valuable gear I have."

"Come quick, come quick, it's right here."

"See that? A three-legged monster."

"A little bastard."

The little bird flew back, bringing a flock of birds with it to watch the three-legged golden crow. They chirped and chattered, even noisier than sparrows.

"This is so annoying, get out of here!" The three-legged golden crow was already extremely irritable, and upon hearing these comments, it was instantly enraged, unleashing its true solar fire.

boom!

The volcano was like a bomb with a lit fuse, erupting with a bang.

"Oh, the monster's angry."

"You can't even say you look weird?"

"What an ill-mannered little bastard."

Despite the scorching lava erupting from the volcano, the birds continued to chatter amongst themselves, even letting the lava drip onto their feathers as if it were just water droplets, leaving them completely unharmed.

Boo!

The three-legged golden crow's face darkened instantly. Even though it was injured, it decided to uphold its dignity. It angrily rushed out of the volcano, its body rapidly expanding, flames raging all around it, looking down at the flock of sparrows below like a king.

In an instant, all the birds fell silent and lowered their proud heads.

The demon race is a race that places great importance on bloodlines, and when the three-legged golden crow looked down at them, they felt an extremely strong suppression of their bloodlines.

Furthermore, in the world of Swallowed Star, big is good, big is beautiful, especially among the demon race. If a demon's body can grow to this size, even if it is weak now, it will definitely become a hegemon in the future.

So the little sparrows, who had been chirping away just moments before, were so frightened that they immediately fell silent.

"Big bird, we were wrong." The lead bird immediately admitted its mistake.

To be honest, this surprised the Three-Legged Golden Crow. He could tell that the little bird leading the group was also at the peak of the Domain Lord level, and the other birds it brought were all Domain Lords as well. He hadn't expected it to back down so easily.

"Get out of here, all of you!" the three-legged golden crow roared.

shhhhhh!

The birds scattered and flew away, except for the lead bird, which remained.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" the three-legged golden crow demanded, staring at the lead bird with its icy eyes.

If this weren't in the immortal divine kingdom of the demon race, the three-legged golden crow would have already gone on a killing spree and been making a killing for military merits. It wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

"Big bird, I—"
