I transformed into a demonic spider lily.

Everything that disrupts her order.

Whether human or monster.

They all need to be removed!

The red spider lily's pupils turned an unnatural crimson, and the group of monsters were so frightened that they took a step back. They couldn't help but recall the time when the other party first descended into the forest, when even the moonlight was filled with blood.

"No, I don't know. We weren't there at the time, otherwise the leopard wouldn't have died. But when we arrived at the place, there was only the trace of human presence, which seemed to be magical power. The leopard must have been exorcised by a sorcerer."

A knowledgeable monster said.

A ritual to deliver the dead? How ironic.

Even now, this phrase is still used to describe things. The Spider Lily took a deep breath to calm her complicated heart, and then commanded all the demons present: "Starting from the time of the Demon's Appearance at dawn, search the entire forest and mountains. If that human is still in my territory, do not hold back and kill him on the spot. If you cannot deal with that guy, come back to me immediately and I will execute him personally."

His tone was completely flat, yet it felt chilling to the very souls of the monsters, sending shivers down their spines. But after the shiver, their hearts burned with a fiery passion.

This is their true leader and overlord. Originally, these monsters were worried that the spider lily was getting too close to the human priestess and forgetting its essence as a monster, or that it would favor humans and neglect the monsters.

But now they've finally turned their attention to humans, which shows that the spider lilies haven't forgotten them. Monsters' thoughts are actually quite simple, especially weak monsters. As long as they're stronger than them and their ideas aren't too far off, they'll willingly follow them.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the group of monsters sprang into action. Although the time given by the other shore flower was tomorrow morning, they had already suppressed their demonic nature for a long time.

Set off as soon as possible. Perhaps the exorcist is still lingering in the forest. These monsters are not only seeking revenge for the leopard demon, but also want to unleash their demonic nature and give the other shore flower an explanation.

……

When the other shore flower emerged from the cave, even if Tu Bi's IQ was comparable to that of an idiot, he could sense that her mentality was abnormal, so he remained silent throughout and escorted her to the summit.

To be precise, I was actually scared.

Standing on the edge of the peak, one can look down at the entire forest. The red spider lilies did not deceive the maple leaves; the forest covered in crimson at sunset was absolutely stunning.

This is her territory, yet even the wanton slaughter of her people is something that the Red Spider Lily only learns a few details about by chance when she asks around.

It's as if she can clearly look down on the entire forest, but doesn't know what the paths and streams hidden beneath the trees look like.

Therefore, this was her dereliction of duty, failing to take care of her people, which was the mistake of her rule. She protected the humans around her from the chaos caused by demons, but she failed to prevent the demons under her rule from being exorcised, purified, or even exorcised by exorcists. So what about the great purge that was launched in the beginning to distinguish between good and evil?

Even if no demon dares to hold the other shore flower responsible for such a thing, that is precisely why she needs to constantly reflect on the source of these mistakes.

all in all……

We need to be more pragmatic lately.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Hellwolf, Wild Wolf

Sunset and moonrise, sunrise and moonset.

Yin and Yang intertwined, and so the night passed.

The red spider lily yielded no results. The forest monsters searched all night, even enlisting the help of the mountain monsters, but there was still no trace of the exorcist.

She figured the other party was just passing by and hadn't come to her territory on purpose, but thinking of this, the other flower felt her anger intensify.

"Passing by" her territory and "casually" killing one of her subordinates—these two keywords combined would be enough to make even a flower fairy so angry she'd get high blood pressure.

Still standing on the edge of the peak, like a guardian watching over everything in this forest, it appears peaceful on the surface, but the undercurrents hidden deep within are unimaginable to anyone.

boom--!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the edge of the forest, followed by billowing smoke and a demonic power that the otherworldly flower was unfamiliar with. It must be that an outsider demon wanted to cause trouble and fought with the forest demons. Territorial conflicts often occurred in the demon world, and in the past, it was enough to let the subordinates handle it.

But today...

The red spider lily is not in a good mood.

Heading in that direction, the other shore flower went. Tu Bi, who was strolling at the foot of the mountain, suddenly felt a familiar figure flash past his eyes, and then he was kicked in the wall and fell to the ground in a daze.

Tu Bi raised many question marks.

……

Meanwhile, at the edge of the forest.

A monster was running deeper into the forest, glancing back every now and then as if being chased by something terrifying. Then, as it looked ahead at the road, a crimson and transparent barrier suddenly appeared.

With a loud "bang," it seemed to have crashed into a solid wall. The monster was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Which bastard dares to block my way... thu thu..."

However, once it regained consciousness and saw the eerie flower figure before it, it trembled and was speechless, clearly recognizing the other's identity.

"...what?"

The other shore flower smiled and pressed for an answer.

"Please, my lord, have mercy!" The monster first raised his hands in a French military salute, and then quickly knelt on the ground.

"Indeed, you know me, just as I know you."

Of course, the red spider lily recognized the monster. Although it was only their first meeting, its peculiar appearance was too obvious.

The wolf demon was dressed in armor, but its body was not agile. Instead, it had a chubby appearance. Its eyes were even bigger than Tu Bi's, and its teeth were uneven. It did not look fierce, but rather a little cute.

Of course, spider lilies don't grow into anything.

However, the other party's identity was something that bothered her...

"Wolf's Dry".

The previous forest lord was known as the Hell Wolf, though it was mostly self-proclaimed. She had never seen him since she descended upon this forest. The other shore flower looked pleased, wanting to see how the wolf would react.

"Yes! What are your orders, Lady Higanbana?"

Wolfy immediately straightened his chest and raised his head, saying.

"I'm just a little curious why I've never seen you since I came to the forest. Is there something you're unhappy about? Don't be afraid, you can tell me anything. I just recently had a sudden idea to raise the river level by 0.0001 millimeters," said the spider lily.

In short, I want to sink you.

Even if Lang Yegan didn't understand the meaning of the other shore flower, he knew that if he didn't answer well, there would be no more, no, there definitely wouldn't be any more.

"My lady, please listen to my excuse, no, please listen to my explanation."

"Fine, I'll listen to your excuses for now."

"It's an explanation..."

"...Is that the point?"

The red spider lily stared at the wolf with a single glance.

Isn't that the key point?

Wolfy was too timid to speak, so he made a pretext: "Actually, it's not that I didn't want to see you, it's just that our cave suddenly collapsed two months ago, so I was buried inside and only recently climbed out."

Actually, it didn't have time to escape, so it collapsed the cave itself. As a result, when the other monsters came, they couldn't find the entrance to the cave and mistakenly thought that Lang Yegan had used his supernatural powers to carry the cave away.

I thought that almost three months had passed and the storm had passed, so I came out to take a look, only to encounter the red spider lily. What kind of situation is this?

"Oh, you're really in a bad situation."

"The other shore flower spoke in a completely reverent tone."

She wouldn't believe Wolf Wild's nonsense. He was definitely hiding somewhere in the forest, too afraid to come out. The Other Shore Flower understood his thoughts quite well.

He's definitely not good at other things, but he's definitely a master at being a coward.

"And then, from the commotion just now, I sensed your demonic power." The other shore flower didn't pursue the matter further, but instead focused more on why the other party didn't leave the forest and even came to the depths of the forest.

"I just came out today, so I lost my sense of direction and accidentally ended up outside the forest. Then, I met a demon exorcist."

Wolfy hunched his head and whispered.

I understand. They had already run away, but encountered a more terrifying enemy outside, so they came back.

The red spider lily instantly understood the situation.

Wolfy was suffering a lot; all it wanted was to survive, but lately it felt like everything was targeting it.

"Even if you get defeated, I won't feel a single bit sorry for you."

The red spider lily said mercilessly.

"No! Lady Higanbana, I've never done anything wrong, you must help me!" Wolfie hurriedly tried to run to her, but Higanbana dodged even faster; she didn't want to be touched by her.

"Then how can you argue that the skulls in your cave are piled up like a mountain?" Does the other shore flower still remember when she was watching a TV series and saw Wolf Wild's cave, which can be considered a childhood trauma?

It just means it's memorable.

"How did you know..."

As he spoke, Langyegan quickly covered his mouth and hurriedly explained, "Lord Bi'anhua, those skulls were all picked up by me outside and collected in the cave. Don't they look a bit fierce and menacing?"

That wasn't a lie. Although it was the former lord of the forest, it wasn't very powerful. There were several monsters in the forest that weren't much weaker than it, and there were many stronger ones in the mountains. Wolf Wild Dry could only increase its deterrent power in this way.

I never expected to be held accountable today.

Ughh ...

Real name: Wolf Wild (R)

[Level: 15]

"Look at you, so cowardly, you really are capable of doing it."

The other shore flower was skeptical, but it was true that the other party had not violated her rules during the time under her rule.

Although they all stayed in the cave and dared not come out, so they dared not harm anyone, it didn't matter anyway. In any case, the Spider Lily had decided not to pursue any past responsibilities. However, there was still one thing...

"What does that demon exorcist look like?"

The red spider lily takes this very seriously.

"Uh, this."

Wolfy was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that the other shore flower would actually be willing to help him. After a moment of self-pity, he decided to single out the other shore flower from now on!

However, the other shore flower was simply concerned about that exorcist, and because of the death of the leopard demon, she was inevitably somewhat sensitive.

"He was a bald monk, wearing a dark cassock and a straw hat. He always spoke with the word 'demon!' and was probably around sixty or seventy years old."

Wolf Wild reported to the other shore flower.

"……Oh."
