“Your Highness, will Yang Hong be fine?” Xiao Jianghe leaned over to Zhou Shu and asked softly.

Zhou Shu shook his head and made a shushing gesture.

He had just used his divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence to share his Golden Bell Shield Technique with Yang Hong. With the Golden Bell Shield protecting his body and the Crimson Firmament Sword, if Yang Hong could still be captured, he would really be useless.

Speaking of which, Zhou Shu had to admire Yang Hong’s luck. Normally, if Yang Hong fell into the hands of demonic beasts, he would die.

He must have known this. That was why he had cursed so harshly earlier. His goal had been nothing more than a quick death.

He probably didn’t expect to encounter Zhou Shu in such a desperate situation.

There was no one else with this kind of luck.

“Let’s walk around and see what the configuration of the Demon Realm army is like.” Zhou Shu shot Xiao Jianghe a look.

Now was the best chance to understand the Demon Realm army. No matter how good a scout was, he probably wouldn’t be able to infiltrate the enemy ranks.

The goal of the Demon Realm army led by Yao Li was to encircle and suppress the human army. If they could grasp this army’s strength, Zhou Shu and the others would be able to launch a targeted defense or even counterattack.

Xiao Jianghe naturally knew the importance of this. He nodded and left expressionlessly to stroll around the camp.

Although Xiao Jianghe was nervous at first, he eventually calmed down. In any case, even Great Demon Yao Li couldn’t see through their disguise, so what was there to worry about?

Xiao Jianghe went to understand the situation of the Demon Realm army while Zhou Shu paced back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back.

“Yao Qing!”

Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the ugly demonic beast who had brought him back.

“Is there something wrong?” Zhou Shu said coldly.

Yao Qing was a cold person.

“Yao Qing, I have something to ask you,” Yao Jun said.

Zhou Shu looked at him without saying anything.

Yao Jun continued, “I heard that humans can break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation by using weapons. Is that true?”

Zhou Shu was silent as he stared at Yao Jun.

Yao Jun felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. He frowned and said, “Your father is a human forger. Is your strength related to this?

“What would it cost me to ask your father to forge a weapon for me?”

Zhou Shu frowned. A demonic beast is interested in weapons?

This isn’t a good sign!

Humans were born inferior to demonic beasts. The reason why they could fight against demonic beasts was that they could use weapons.

If the demonic beasts also started to use weapons, coupled with the advantage of their bodies, the human race would be in even more danger.

This is a very bad idea. Very bad. I have to nip it in the bud!

“Are you questioning my talent?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “I’m powerful because I’m stronger than you. What does it have to do with weapons?

“That kind of thing will only drag down our strength. Yao Jun, do you know why you’re at the bottom of the first-rank demonic beasts? It’s because you’re not capable and think too much.

“If you continue like this, you won’t be able to become a Great Demon for the rest of your life.” Zhou Shu waved his fist. “We are demonic beasts. We are born with sharp claws and hard fists. You actually want to throw away your advantage and learn how to use weapons like humans. How foolish!”

Zhou Shu’s voice was like a thunderclap, causing Yao Jun’s head to buzz.

Zhou Shu had even secretly used the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form to suppress Yao Jun.

As expected, Yao Jun’s face turned pale. His eyes were blank as he muttered to himself, “Did I think wrong? Yes, I’m a demonic beast. Why should I think of using human weapons? I forgot my roots. I’m confused!”

Yao Jun screamed, put his head in his hands, and ran away.

Zhou Shu nodded in satisfaction. He felt a great sense of accomplishment for enlightening a lost lamb.

Since he was a demonic beast, then he should just behave like a demonic beast. What was he thinking?

Clap clap clap—

“Nephew Yao Qing, you are indeed knowledgeable.” Yao Li’s voice sounded. He walked toward Zhou Shu. As he walked, he said, “It’s taboo to rely on external objects. We demonic beasts are brave and powerful, and we can break anything with a punch. There’s no need for weapons.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a clear understanding, Nephew. Previously, when your father taught you how to use weapons, I thought you would go astray. Now, it seems that you’re not bad,” Yao Li said with appreciation.

Zhou Shu pursed his lips and changed the topic. “Lord Yao Li, you’re back? Have you caught him?”

“No. The kid got away,” Yao Li said gloomily. “The strength of the human race isn’t good, but all of them are as slippery as rats—

“I’m not referring to your father,” Yao Li explained unnecessarily.

Zhou Shu found this a little strange. From the looks of it, Yao Li was quite respectful to Ji Lutian. Ji Lutian was indeed capable to be able to gain respect even when he lived off a demoness.

If there was a chance, he really wanted to see what kind of person Ji Lutian was.

“I understand. That human has escaped. Lord Yao Li, what will you do next?” Zhou Shu said.

“He can’t escape.” Yao Mei snorted coldly. “I don’t have the patience to play hide-and-seek with him, but the area within a hundred kilometers has already been covered by my army. Where can he run to?”
