Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 52 Monster Survival Guide: Wild Edition

Li Changsheng fabricated various short stories to help Liu Wuyou understand how to survive in the human world.

Put away the weapons that make humans feel dangerous, and make humans feel that you are harmless.

However, one should not be too conspicuous, such as a cute rabbit spirit or a beautiful flower fairy.

He focused on writing a story about a flower fairy falling in love with a human, which was about the deeds of the previous leader of Lingxu Sect.

Humans and demons are on different paths. Even if you don't mind, your descendants, being half-demons, will have an awkward status.

After all, you have both human and demon blood, so where does your stance lie?

Humans don't trust you, and even demons will look down on you.

Of course, living a normal life is fine, but in the human world, you should act more like a human being, try not to show any demonic characteristics, and don't ostentatiously compete for fame, fortune, or status.

For example, Changchun wanted to become the sect leader, but as a result, his father, the sect leader, also died.

Li Changsheng poured his heart and soul into writing the first version of the Monster Survival Guide, which took him half a month.

There are ten short stories in total, featuring rabbit demons, wolf demons, flower demons, fox demons, spider demons, and so on.

There are beautiful, ugly, and vicious monsters.

Without exception, they all ended up as food for humans. Flower fairies became medicinal herbs, were refined into essence, or became seasonings.

In conclusion, when a demon is under someone else's roof, it has no choice but to bow its head.

You've come to the human world, so cultivate diligently. If you're too high-profile, who else will we kill if not you?

Li Changsheng handed the Monster Survival Guide to Liu Wuyou: "Take a look."

Liu Wuyou watched intently. The rabbit demon was too cute and got eaten; the wolf demon was too fierce and got wrapped up like dumplings.

The flower fairy bewitched and fell in love with a human. In the end, the child's ambition was too great, and the whole family perished. The flower fairy was then refined into her essence.

Changchun's mother, Li Changsheng, is nowhere to be found. Neither father nor son appeared after their deaths, and it is unknown whether they are still alive.

The spider demon couldn't resist the temptation of human flesh and blood, and was eventually deep-fried and eaten.

"Spider demons can be deep-fried?" Liu Wuyou was shocked.

  

"Nothing is impossible in the human world," Li Changsheng said expressionlessly.

He vaguely remembered that in his past life there was a place where people ate spiders.

There are also deep-fried centipedes.

Liu Wuyou was astonished by the human's appetite; she only coveted the essence of the spider, instead of figuring out how to eat it.

She continued flipping through the pages and came across the story of the rhinoceros demon.

The rhinoceros demon's horn, hard and sharp, was a good material for crafting magical artifacts, but it was chopped off as soon as it arrived in the human world.

Rhinoceros meat was eaten, and rhinoceros horns were used as materials for magical artifacts.

That's horrible!

Fox spirits, on the other hand, possess a greater allure than flower spirits, and are loved by people because of their beauty.

Then, its fate was even worse than that of the rabbit spirit; its fox skin was peeled off and made into a scarf.

Next was the turtle demon, a highly nutritious creature, which was then stewed and its shell was refined into a defensive magical artifact.

"The turtle demon and the rhinoceros spirit didn't harm anyone," Liu Wuyou said, unable to bear it any longer. "Could you please change it?"

"No, there's a saying among humans: 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.'"

Li Changsheng said solemnly, "The world of demons is the same. When you possess a treasure, don't be complacent. The people and demons around you are also eyeing your treasure."

Liu Wuyou fell silent. This world is truly terrifying. Fortunately, she has nothing.

That makes seven kinds of demons already. The next three are a tiger demon, a leopard demon, and a tree demon.

The tiger demon and the leopard spirit were similar to the wolf demon, except their fates differed. The tiger demon was soaked in wine, its meat was eaten, and its skin was made into clothing; it suffered the most tragic death.

The leopard spirit wasn't soaked in alcohol; otherwise, it was similar to the tiger demon. Finally, it added: "This creature spends most of its time outdoors, so its meat should have a fishy smell. It'll taste better stewed with strong spices."

As for the tree spirit, it was an ordinary tree spirit that set traps to capture humans and animals, who were then slain and used as firewood.

Finally, Li Changsheng concluded: This book is only applicable to ordinary monsters; ancient monsters and geniuses are not included.

Ancient demon geniuses are valued by humans, and under normal circumstances, they are not eaten.

Li Changsheng then summarized the principles: "In the human world, you must first make people think you are harmless, but you can't be too conspicuous. You have to be ordinary, just like those cultivators who can't beat you. They are very ordinary."

"Monsters themselves are treasures. Never be proud of your claws, as they may bring about your own demise."

"Remember: Be neither dangerous, nor cute, nor tempting. Be an ordinary, unremarkable little monster and cultivate in a low-key manner."

Looking at Li Changsheng's summary, Liu Wuyou asked, "Then how do they survive in the world of demons?"

Li Changsheng paused for a moment, then scratched his head: "I don't know. I've never been to the demon world, I've only been in the demon-slaying prison."

Liu Wuyou: "..."

These principles, you didn't learn them by killing demons, did you?

"Don't worry, I stopped doing that a long time ago. I was just a translator back then," Li Changsheng said. "Slaying demons was my senior brother's job. I would occasionally help by skinning and pulling out tendons."

Liu Wuyou: "..."

I think I would feel better if you hadn't said that last sentence.

"If I do as you say in your book, I won't be killed?" Liu Wuyou asked.

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "If it were you, would you kill a seemingly useless monster for no reason?"

"We have no grudges against each other, so I won't lay a hand on you. You taught me not to harm people," Liu Wuyou said.

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Actually, sometimes humans kill demons without reason. This book is suitable for wild demons who want to come to the human world, so that they can understand what they should pay attention to when they come to the human world."

"Wild monsters?" Liu Wuyou noticed this sentence.

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Humans divide demons into two types: wild ones, which have no human friends or masters, and domesticated demons."

"Domesticated monsters are those that have been taken in by humans as mounts or pets. For example, rabbit spirits were wild before being fed medicinal herbs by humans, and later became domesticated."

"Would humans still prey on domesticated animals?" Liu Wuyou asked.

"It's hard to say. Some won't, some will."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "I will write the domesticated monster chapter later. This wild monster chapter is more suitable for you now."

"Am I not considered a domesticated child yet?" Liu Wuyou asked.

"Not yet, it needs to be raised for a longer period of time until it understands human nature."

Li Changsheng explained: "For example, domesticated monsters must obey humans and cannot anger them."

Never think that you are important or that humans can't live without you. Many domesticated monsters die because of this idea.

"I have told Niu Wenwen more than once that he should learn to be obedient, know how to be grateful, and make humans feel that he is well taken care of. He has done a very good job in this regard."

"Well-trained?"

"Yes, for example, if I teach you martial arts techniques or principles, you will be grateful to me."

Li Changsheng said, "If you don't know how to be grateful and think that it's my duty to teach you, then you're ungrateful and what humans call an ingrate."

"Why are you called an ingrate?"

"Because humans believe that wolf demons are cold-blooded and cruel, incapable of understanding human nature. Of course, this only applies to a portion of the wild ones."

Li Changsheng said, "Many wolf demons can still be tamed, but the White-Eyed Wolf has been passed down."

"human nature?"

"Yes, humans would think that a good monster is one who understands human nature and is grateful to them and listens to them."

Of course, some humans are ungrateful and are called ingrates.

Liu Wuyou said, "The wolf demon is truly pitiful."
