This time, I won't be the devil.

As expected, this lone monster was no match for him.

Ah Fei brought the monster's body back home. In order to make his wife and daughter accept it, he used his cooking skills to make it into a delicious dish.

Ah Fei filled his stomach by eating monsters.

However, unlike him, his wife and daughter's health became worse and worse after they started eating monsters.

After asking the village elders, Ah Fei learned that just like crops created by magic cannot be eaten, the corpses of monsters rich in magic can also corrode the human body.

It's not a big deal to eat monsters once in a while, but for most ordinary people, except for a very small number of people with high magical adaptability, eating monsters for a long time is tantamount to chronic suicide.

Ah Fei's plan failed.

For a period of time afterwards, people in the village starved to death almost every day, and cries could be heard in every household.

Later on, the remaining people didn't even have the strength to cry.

As the last strong person in the village, Ah Fei buried all the dead villagers.

As the days passed, death finally came to Ah Fei's home.

When he woke up one morning, Ah Fei found that his wife and daughter had stopped breathing.

However, Ah Fei did not shed tears for the death of his relatives like other villagers.

After being in a trance for a while, Ah Fei understood the current situation.

Now his wife and daughter are dead, and there are only a few villagers left.

It seemed that there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

After realizing this, an indescribable excitement and joy surged into Ah Fei's heart.

Ah Fei ran out of the house laughing without even putting on his clothes.

He ran around naked like a wild animal, his deformed body dancing.

After seeing this scene, the few remaining villagers said that Ah Fei had gone mad because he was too sad about the death of his wife and children.

But Ah Fei knew very well that he was not crazy. On the contrary, he finally understood what the sense of disharmony that had been bothering him all these years was.

This village and this happy, ordinary life are not the destination he longs for.

The reason why Ah Fei did not leave the village was just to repay the innkeeper for saving his life, and the reason why he wanted to repay the innkeeper was just to try his best to act like a qualified human being.

Now, he finally doesn't have to act anymore.

Thinking of this, Ah Fei felt that the shackles that had been binding him had completely disappeared.

Ah Fei left the village and rushed into the endless desert.

Ten years ago, he escaped from the mine and came to Huanyin Village naked.

Today, he was naked again and embarked on the escape journey that had been interrupted for 10 years.

If there was any difference, it was that Ah Fei already knew the direction of the Jabberwock underground maze full of monsters.

Ah Fei ran across the desert as if he had been called by something. He felt that everything around him was so fresh.

After exhausting all the knowledge in his mind, he finally found a word to describe his current mood.

He is free!

Chapter 94 Jabba Walker

A Fei traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived at the maze city of Grimgar.

At that time, the Labyrinth City was still under the rule of the Terra Federation, and there was no fee required to register adventurers.

At first, the association staff were very troubled to see such a disabled person with a strange body wanting to become an adventurer.

But after testing, they found that Ah Fei's level had reached an astonishing level 20.

After successfully becoming an adventurer, Ah Fei couldn't wait to enter the maze.

There, he saw all kinds of monsters, skeleton beasts, minotaurs, nether wolves, fire lizards...

These strange creatures live in the maze as if it were natural.

In the days that followed, Ah Fei explored the vast maze and ate the monsters' corpses when he was hungry.

He ate all kinds of monsters and used the cooking skills he learned from running the inn to make them into a variety of dishes.

And every time after eating a monster, Ah Fei felt that his strength seemed to have become stronger.

In Ah Fei's opinion, life here is more natural and comfortable for him than in human society.

In this all-encompassing underground world, he felt a sense of belonging for the first time.

When leaving the village, Ah Fei did not take nothing with him. He still carried the fire emblem that symbolized his identity as a "natural warrior".

When Ah Fei reached level 30, he obtained the blessing of the God of Fire and War through this emblem and became a Berserker.

Ah Fei spends most of his time in the maze, rarely returns to the ground, and rarely talks to people.

But after his strength increased, in order to be able to reach deeper levels, he would occasionally accept some commissions, or join temporary teams to conduct long-distance exploration.

Gradually, more and more adventurers noticed this strange guy with a deformed body who liked to eat monsters.

When Ah Fei became a gold-level adventurer, the adventurers around him gave him a title - [Evil Food King].

As he continued to devour monsters, in addition to the increase in strength and level, Ah Fei felt that his spine was becoming heavier and thicker.

Because of his physical deformity, his wife took him to see a doctor as early as when he was running the hotel.

The doctor said that the problem was most likely with the spine. Ah Fei's spine had abnormal growth, but there was no cure for it. After all, the spine could not be cut off.

Before he knew it, several years had passed and Ah Fei had become a diamond-level adventurer.

But he has no interest in things like wealth and status. Despite having become one of the strongest people in the entire city, he still lives in the New Nippori district where low-level adventurers gather.

Shin-Nippori was once a very chaotic place, until the arrival of a dark knight, and order was gradually restored here.

Dark Knight Van Dam, also a King Kong-level adventurer, has formed a temporary team with Ah Fei several times.

After retiring as an adventurer, Van Dam opened a tavern called "Fantasy Village", and A Fei would occasionally visit.

After a while, the drinkers got used to him.

One day, a bard who came from the east walked into the tavern.

Ah Fei's strange figure quickly caught his attention. After observing Ah Fei's spine, he said:

"The shape of your spine is like a dragon bone."

Hearing the bard's words, the surrounding adventurers thought he was joking.

"Have you seen dragon bones?" someone asked.

"Of course I haven't seen it. Our empire holds a Dragon Hunting Festival every year to commemorate the Sword Saint Norman. The remains of various dragon creatures are displayed at the festival."

To prove his experience, the bard said:

"Speaking of dragon bones, it is said that among the seven deadly sins that killed the Dragon King thousands of years ago, one of the swords was forged from dragon bones."

"Legend has it that each of the Seven Deadly Sins killed a Dragon King..."

After opening his mouth, the bard proudly began to tell ancient legends.

Perhaps because he couldn't stand the bard's pretentiousness, an adventurous and argumentative adventurer criticized him:

"Seven swords, eight Dragon Kings. If you say so, doesn't that mean there's still one Dragon King left?"

This question left the bard at a loss for words, so he argued:

"This is artistic processing. Do you understand artistic processing..."

After listening to the bard's story about the Dragon King, A Fei had a question in his mind.

What does dragon taste like?

In the years that followed, Ah Fei explored various places in the maze, discovered some secret places that no one had ever set foot on before, and left his own marks.

Since Ah Fei's memory was not very good, he learned to write and began to record some of his observations and experiences, which were eventually compiled into the "Maze Recipe".

After living like this for more than 20 years, Ah Fei is already in his 50s, but he still has not retired and continues to fight on the front line of maze exploration.

As the longest serving King Kong-class adventurer, Ah Fei can confidently say:

"No one understands mazes better than me."

In this way, time came to the 995th year of the Aiden calendar.

As the Terra Federation's lease on the Labyrinth City is about to end, perhaps in order to make a final profit, the Federation has relaxed the restrictions on entering the labyrinth.

The merchants ignored the level restrictions that had always existed and carried out a large-scale sweep and development of the maze.

Ah Fei had witnessed with his own eyes that a strong man killed a large group of monsters in an instant after entering the upper maze.

After creating a safe zone, merchants will send people into the maze to mine, including workers and slaves.

Looking at these skinny slaves who were collecting magic stones and mining minerals, Ah Fei seemed to see his former self.

While businessmen and government officials cheered for the huge profits, Ah Fei felt inexplicably irritated.

A Fei can understand that adventurers are fighting for their lives with monsters, and he will also eat monsters to satisfy his appetite.

But Ah Fei didn't understand why these people were so tirelessly trying to acquire wealth when they clearly had no shortage of food and supplies for life.

For Ah Fei, the maze has become his home, a pure land where he can stay away from human society and move freely.

And now, looking at the monsters being slaughtered wantonly and the slaves being exploited in the maze, Ah Fei felt like his own home had been invaded.

A strong feeling of disgust arose spontaneously, but Ah Fei did not take any action. He just left the maze silently.

Ah Fei understood that the businessmen's behavior was legal and in compliance with regulations.

As a human being, Ah Fei cannot violate these rules.

People should not eat people, people should not break the law, people should be grateful and repay kindness...

So far, in order to live like a human being, Ah Fei has always abided by these basic principles of life.

At this moment, Ah Fei couldn't help but think, if he was not a human being, would he not have to abide by these things?

Humanity's over-exploitation of the maze soon backfired.
