A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 435 The Gradually Awakening Human Race!
The little chestnut's tiny body trembled slightly.

She looked at Gu Xing, who resembled a ghost, and although her eyes were filled with fear, she still forced herself to muster her courage.

This ghost brother looks a bit scary.

But when she thought that it was this ghost brother who had brought her father back to life, her gratitude overcame her instinctive fear.

Therefore, the thought of facing those two terrifying demon lords made her so afraid that she almost cried.

But she still mustered all her strength and asked for directions.

Gu Xing slowly squatted down and gently picked up the thin but brave little girl.

The little girl's body was very light, carrying the scent of mine dust and a slight chill.

"Are not you afraid?"

Little Chestnut nodded vigorously at first, then shook her head vigorously as if trying to convince herself.

"I...I believe in the Divine Envoy!"

However, Gu Xing slowly shook his head.

He leaned close to Xiaolizi's ear and spoke slowly in a voice only she could hear:
“I am not some divine messenger. I am just an ordinary person, just like you.”

"It's just that I was lucky enough to have mastered some... power."

These words exploded like a thunderclap in Little Chestnut's simple world!
An ordinary person?!
An ordinary person like her?!
How can this be? !
How can ordinary people be transparent?
How could an ordinary person kill that terrifying demon so easily?

How can an ordinary person bring their deceased father back to life?
Little Chestnut was completely stunned, her large, clear eyes filled with confusion.

Her worldview was turned upside down.

The demon race has always been powerful and invincible.

And now, someone who had instantly killed a demon lord was telling her...
Is he just an ordinary person?

These words, like a ray of light, pierced through her heart, which had been shrouded in oppression for so long.

in case……

If ordinary people could also wield power...

Does that mean...

She, her father, and everyone in the mine—maybe in the future…

No longer at the mercy of evil?

She can also... protect the people she wants to protect?

Gu Xing looked at the intense light flashing in the girl's eyes in his arms and nodded slightly in his heart.

He said that on purpose.

Saving a group of people is easy, but enabling them to become self-reliant in the future is the real challenge.

He cannot protect them forever, nor can he remain in the Abyss forever.

Preserving the legacy of beast tamers is the best long-term solution.

Choosing a leader who is resilient, courageous, and hopeful is of paramount importance.

He was disappointed by the performance of the group of adult miners.

On the contrary, it was this little girl named Koguriko.
This demonstrates the courage and responsibility of a leader.

Gu Xing then shifted his gaze from Xiao Lizi to the group of anxious adult miners.

If they are ultimately just a pile of hopeless mud...
Fortunately, Little Chestnut's courage, like a stone thrown into stagnant water, stirred up ripples.

"Even Little Chestnut dares to go, what face do we adults have to back down!"

"The worst that can happen is death! After all these years of being stifled, I might as well take a gamble!"

"That's right! With the divine messenger here, what are we afraid of! Let's fight them!"

A low, resolute murmur began to rise from the crowd.

One person spoke, and two others echoed; gradually, the fear seemed to be overwhelmed by a bloodlust that had finally erupted after long suppression.

The way they looked at Gu Xing was no longer purely pleading; it carried a hint of desperate ruthlessness.

Seeing this, Gu Xing finally nodded in satisfaction.

The indomitable spirit inherent in the human race has not been completely extinguished.

The older miner seemed to have made up his mind at that moment.

He took a deep breath, walked up to Gu Xing, and bowed deeply.
“My lord, I know the way through the mine well, let me lead the way! Little Chestnut is still small, don't frighten her.” Gu Xing nodded, gently put Little Chestnut down, and patted her head.

"Wait here and protect your father."

The group then moved toward the center of the mine.

Meanwhile, inside Gu Xing's beast-taming space.

The little dragon girl, Long Qingyan, paced back and forth nervously, her dragon tail thrashing uneasily.

When Gu Xing told her about the plan just now, she almost screamed!
She was very clear about her own abilities!
With the dragon race's powerful physique and talent, she was confident in dealing with a king-level opponent, but that was a totem-level opponent!

An existence that is a whole realm higher than her!
Still two!

Do you expect her to kill instantly?

How is that even possible?!
Panic and regret surged into my heart like a tide.

She regretted not studying harder when she was on Dragon Island.
Why am I always lazy and playful?

If she had mastered the Law Body, the strongest skill of the dragon race, back then, she wouldn't be in this situation now.

Furthermore, she could sense Gu Xing's calm and unwavering emotions transmitted through the temporary contract.
This made her even more anxious.

Did Gu Xing overestimate her?

What if she makes a mistake?
Wouldn't that kill everyone?

Gu Xing naturally sensed Long Qingyan's fear, but he did not offer any words of comfort.

He also did not reveal that he possessed talents such as Sovereignty and Soul Devourer, which could greatly enhance her combat power.

He needs Long Qingyan to bear this pressure!

Subtle ripples of law began to circulate around Long Qingyan's body; she was just one step away from truly awakening the strongest skill of the dragon race.
Therefore, he wanted to force her to take this step herself!
Soon, under the guidance of that miner...

Gu Xing walked through the intricate and foul-smelling mine tunnels and arrived at a huge underground cave.

The place was brightly lit, and the rock walls were inlaid with more magic crystals that emitted a ghostly glow. The demonic energy and the smell of blood in the air were also stronger.

In the center of the cave was a huge open space, where tens of thousands of human miners, pale and emaciated with numb eyes, were gathered.

They huddled together like lambs to the slaughter.

At the end of the open space was a high platform built of magic stones.

On the high platform sat two figures exuding a suffocating aura.

It was those two totem-level demon leaders!
At this moment, they seem to be discussing something.

"The Demon God has departed, and the Demon Abyss army will soon conquer a new plane!"

"The demand for magic stones at the front has surged! Production here must be increased by another 30%!"

One of the demons spoke up.

Another demon let out a low laugh and waved its claws dismissively:
"Don't worry! There are plenty of these two-legged sheep!"

"Starting tomorrow, extend their working hours by another five!"

"If one batch dies from exhaustion, just bring in another batch from other mines! We must meet the army's needs!"

"Alright! Let's do it this way! Only by increasing production can we both earn merit before the Demon God."

Subsequently, following the decision of the two, the voice of a demon overseer of king-level status resounded throughout the entire area:
"By order of the lord! From this moment forward, all miners' working hours will be increased to twenty hours per day!"

"Anyone who dares to slack off—will die!"

The order immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

Twenty hours?!

This was almost non-stop work!

This is clearly designed to work them to death!

Suppressed sobs and desperate sighs spread through the crowd, but the long-standing oppression had robbed them of even the courage to protest loudly.

"Humph!"

The demon on the high platform snorted coldly, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.

In an instant, all the commotion subsided, leaving only a deathly silence.
