Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1800

Capítulo 1800: Chapter 1801: Deep into the Hinterland

Intimidation doesn’t need to be done by Su Chengyu, but the threat must be expressed personally.

Only then can the Rat Demon in front of him clearly understand who is in charge here.

The Rat Demon, with the strength of a Demon King, though not dominant in one region, could at least sustain itself. It quickly understood the meaning in Su Chengyu’s words.

Nodding frantically, it said to Su Chengyu, “Sir, ask anything you wish to know. I will do my best to satisfy you.”

Hu Xiao was already enough to make the Rat Demon feel scared from the bottom of its heart. The one who could command Hu Xiao at will was even more terrifying to the Rat Demon.

After all, it could see at a glance that the relationship between Su Chengyu and Hu Xiao was not a mere partnership, but a clear hierarchy.

To make a Demon Emperor bow in submission, the Rat Demon couldn’t imagine Su Chengyu’s level of power, so it wisely chose to retreat momentarily.

Su Chengyu nodded in satisfaction, then glanced in the direction the Rat Demon had attempted to flee earlier and spoke.

“The direction you attempted to leave in just now is where the Human Clan inhabits this place.”

The Rat Demon was taken aback, then surprisingly asked, “Sir, are you of the Human Clan?”

Su Chengyu indeed looked human at the moment, but he emitted a special aura that only the Demon Clan possessed. Although it wasn’t very strong, the Rat Demon was sure it wasn’t a disguise.

That’s why the Rat Demon had always assumed Su Chengyu was just an eccentric Demon Clan member who preferred to transform into a human form.

After all, once the Demon Clan shapeshifts, irrespective of the direction of transformation, their appearance tends to lean towards that of the Human Clan.

Although the reasons were unclear to them, only this way could they better enhance and exert their powers.

Of course, Demons who completely transform into human forms are few, but few do not mean none.

Before Su Chengyu posed this question, the Rat Demon always thought Su Chengyu was such an anomaly.

Pa!

Suddenly, Hu Xiao, standing beside him, slapped the Rat Demon, speaking discontentedly.

“Do you even understand your situation here, to the point where you think you can question my lord?”

Su Chengyu watched this scene silently, aware that Hu Xiao was trying to impress him, but also knowing the Rat Demon indeed needed a lesson.

Clearly, the rat was not yet completely aware of its current situation and stance.

Hu Xiao’s unrelenting slap left the Rat Demon a bit disoriented. After hesitating for a moment, it dared not ask more, but just nodded, saying.

“Yes, our Great King resides over there. I only recently arrived on this plain with the Great King. The Humans there are simply our livestock.”

“Livestock?”

Hearing this term, Su Chengyu instinctively felt a bit uncomfortable.

But soon he let it go; it’s the law of the jungle.

Since on Earth, humans, standing at the top of the food chain, could farm animals for food, it’s unsurprising that in this Demon Clan-infested land, humans at the bottom are raised like livestock.

Adjusting his mindset, Su Chengyu then continued to ask, “A group of humans, unable even to gather Spiritual Energy within, why does your Great King keep them here?”

The Rat Demon paused for a moment, then shook its head.

“I don’t know; it was a sudden decision by the Great King half a year ago. I’m just a regular Demon King under him, usually in charge of patrols, so I truly don’t know these things.”

As the Rat Demon finished its words, Hu Xiao immediately seemed eager to teach it a lesson.

With just a look, Su Chengyu restrained Hu Xiao, who quickly turned and asked, “Sir, how should we deal with this?”

“This guy likely isn’t lying. Anomalies like these are known only to directly involved parties or their closest confidants, not necessarily known to others.”

Hu Xiao blinked, seemingly not fully understanding the logic.

Su Chengyu continued, “When you sought a breakthrough opportunity with me, did you tell anyone about this matter?”

Hu Xiao immediately had a sudden realization, brightening up and speaking.

“Sir, do you mean to say there is a big opportunity where those humans are?”

Su Chengyu smirked, “You’re quick to realize this, aren’t you?”

As Hu Xiao speculated, the humans that had just appeared on this land indeed harbored an opportunity.

This was the last clue left to him by Su Zhedian, also the reason for his presence here now. After all, this opportunity could be the key to returning to that place.

“Sir, why don’t we just lead an assault over there?”

Hu Xiao proposed, his undisguised words of intent and desire made the Little Fox Chang Li instinctively step back a few paces.

Su Chengyu understood that after the incident in the swamp, Chang Li was clearly averse to such acts of plundering.

However, after experiencing so much, Su Chengyu long knew, as the Heaven-Mending Stone once said.

The exploitation of the weak by the strong is an unchangeable rule in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

Hu Xiao’s idea, though extreme, was simply a heartfelt thought from a member of the Demon Clan.

For the weak to survive in such a world, there’s only one path: completely shedding their identity as the weak.

And those who can maintain their true heart at that time are the true strong ones.

Su Chengyu didn’t mind using this opportunity to teach the Little Fox a lesson, but considering the matter of the opportunity here for safety, he said.

“No rush, I only know there’s an opportunity here, but the specifics are unknown.”

Hu Xiao looked at Su Chengyu with some confusion.

Su Chengyu continued, “It’s easy to pry open the mouth of a Demon King. Do you have the confidence to pry open the mouth of a Demon Emperor or even a Demon Emperor?”

The Rat Demon possessed the strength of a Fifth Grade Demon King, capable of reigning over an area in that swamp.

Yet here, it was only qualifiable as a sentry merely skimming the surface; the Great King it spoke of must at least be a Demon Emperor or perhaps a Demon Emperor.

Although Su Chengyu could face a Demon Emperor in battle, this place was, after all, their territory. A cunning rabbit still has three burrows.

As long as the Great King mentioned by the Rat Demon might have clues about the opportunity here, Su Chengyu had to handle this matter prudently to ensure nothing went awry.

Subsequently, Su Chengyu turned his gaze to the Rat Demon and declared, “Take him to see your Great King and say he wants to join you.”

Su Chengyu pointed to Hu Xiao beside him. Hu Xiao was ecstatic, while the Rat Demon was evidently troubled; seeing this, Hu Xiao promptly complained.

“What? I’m degrading myself to join you, and you’re not happy about it? Are you courting death?”

“No, I just…”

The Rat Demon couldn’t say anything further, finally conceding under the pressure from Su Chengyu and Hu Xiao.

As Su Chengyu and Chang Li watched the two demons depart, Chang Li asked puzzledly.

“Sir, what shall we do?”

Su Chengyu didn’t respond directly but looked at Chang Li and asked, “Can you completely transform into a human appearance?”

Chang Li hesitated, then nodded, saying, “I can, but my strength isn’t enough to entirely obscure the Demon Qi on me.”

“That’s not an issue. I’ll help you with that.”

Su Chengyu replied as he worked on Chang Li, then looked in the direction they left and pondered.

Hu Xiao infiltrated the heart of the Demon Clan’s territory, and what he naturally needed to do was to see what was so special about the humans his father specifically mentioned.

What was the reason Su Zhedian had lingered in this realm for decades?
