Grasshoppers eat grass, toads eat grasshoppers, pit vipers eat toads, and eagles eat pit vipers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Everything in the world originally restrains each other, but when it comes to survival, most of them are related to eating and being eaten.

Humans can keep horses, cattle and sheep, domesticate jackals, tigers and leopards, and face monsters and spirit animals, but they can only establish bonds by concluding contracts.

This also seems to show to some extent that the relationship between youkai and humans is more of a very delicate relationship of relative equality than eating and being eaten.

Of course, despite the existence of such a form of contract, not every youkai is willing to make a contract with humans.

The reason for this may be because of the yokai's frozen hatred for humans, or because of the restrictions that youkai will be subject to once they make a contract with humans......

Since Douzi didn't talk to Jiuyue about Qiyao's blood seal again, Jiuyue didn't know the reason.

What's more, now even the speculation that Qiyao Blood Seal is a contract signed between Douzi and her is just a one-sided assumption and speculation by Jiuyue, and she has never had a chance to sit down and talk carefully about this matter with Douzi.

Jiuyue didn't even understand until now, why did the monsters have a so-called 'contract' if they hated humans so much, and what kind of existence was the 'contract'?

However, the most important thing at the moment is how to prevent the identity of the bean from being discovered by the demon master.

After all, in this world where monsters are rampant, if monsters also have nemesis, then it must be the Demon Master.

When Douzi was shouting with those demon masters, no matter how arrogant the words were, but given that Douzi was still a normal monster, and a normal monster was on the bar with the demon master, it was not a good thing after all.

Therefore, under Jiuyue's repeated advice, Douzi also promised to try to make himself look more like a human child who was only five or six years old, and cautiously followed Jiuyue to the hall of the post station.

Douzi obediently pulled Jiuyue's dress and stood beside her, tilting her head and sweeping the people with different faces gathered in the post hall at the moment, trying quite hard to reduce her sense of existence.

It seems that there are really very few people living in this inn, and the business is indeed bleak.

"Do you mean that we are really mixed with monsters in this station?" The innkeeper's unconcealed horror made every word of his voice come out of his throat, conveying his uneasiness to everyone who heard his words.

At this time, the people gathered in the hall, in addition to the six demon masters in the 'Kaguramon', there was only a thin woman who looked a little malnourished, a Jianghu Langzhong who sold dog skin plasters, and a destitute painting seller, counting Jiuyue and him, who came down from the downstairs at the end, there were only eleven people in total......

Even if you add the shopkeeper of the post station and the two men under the shopkeeper, there are no more than fifteen people.

The number of people is too small, and in this case, it is not so easy to escape without being noticed.

Douzi was thinking about how to escape from the situation in front of her, and she heard Jiuyue express her intention to leave to the post shopkeeper without thinking.

"Are you talking about monsters...... that shopkeeper died so miserably, I also think it's probably the monsters who did it! So, shopkeeper, since your place is so unclean, we are also planning to leave...... As for this tea, I don't think there's any need to drink it again, right?"

The innkeeper, who was already frightened, looked at Jiuyue and Douzi, and was a little hesitant to refuse, "Girl, this is the middle of the night...... Where are you going? Outside...... It's not peaceful out there right now!"

"I don't want to leave at all...... But don't you see, my younger brother is frightened, he has been messing with me just now, I really can't do anything about him......" As she spoke, Jiu Yue gave way and showed the beans hiding behind her.

Douzi also put on a frightened and frightened expression very cooperatively, and winked shyly at the people in the post station.

Douzi's fear also deepened the uneasiness in the heart of the post shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper couldn't help sighing, and said to Jiuyue who was still worried: "Girl, let me tell you the truth, our post station, since we dare to open in this barren mountain and wild place, it is naturally under some kind of protection, and the monsters from all over the world dare not come to our place to make trouble!"

"Oh, some kind of shelter?" Jiu Yue never thought that this was just a wild shop on the side of the road, but what kind of shelter was it?

The shopkeeper continued to patiently explain: "Yes, if there is a monster who harms people in our realm, it will be on the demon hunting list of 'Kaguramon'...... Where would a monster be willing to do such a troublesome thing? What's more, it's still in the case that our shop already has a demon master...... Come to think of it, this harmful monster must be very powerful, I advise the girl, you still don't go out, outside, where will we be safe in this station?"

It seems that it is not easy to leave rashly at this time...... But if you continue to stay here and 'drink tea' with those demon masters, it will be really troublesome.

"What are you talking about...... There is some truth to it...... But you land where you have just died...... I really don't dare to stay any longer...... After all, this monster is the master who doesn't even pay attention to the demon master who lives in this station...... Who knows if it won't be able to eat at all, and will it continue to come back and harm people?!" Jiu Yue pretended to be scared and said, sincerely scaring all the people in this post station away.

Sure enough, the already tense atmosphere was provoked by Jiuyue like this, and the residents who had been silent on the side also panicked.

The thin, malnourished woman was the first to speak: "Yes, I can't die, I'm going to find my son...... The girl has a point...... I also feel that I don't dare to stay here for a moment!"

"Don't be so stupid...... There are so many powerful masters here, right? I don't think that monster dares to come back......" The poor painting boy seems to be more attached to the walls and soft beds in the inn.

And the Jianghu Langzhong, who sells dog skin plasters, simply started his business: "That...... I have a side medicine here to cure all diseases, do you want to buy a pair to try...... You can be frightened!"

"That's enough—everybody's quiet, don't get impatient. A calm voice slowly jumped out of the mouth of the leading fat demon master.

The demon masters don't seem to be used to being despised and questioned like this, but after all, it is something that comes out of their eyelids, and their complexions are obviously not very good.

At this time, the fat man slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, and said in a deep voice with a serious face: "...... That daring youkai, perhaps, hasn't left here at all. ”

"Didn't leave here?...... What do you mean by that, my lord?" When the shopkeeper of the post station heard that the man-eating monster had not left at all, his face instantly turned pale with fright.

"I mean, that youkai is in this room right now. ”

The fat demon master said, raised his eyes and coldly swept the people in the post station.

And the hall of the post station, which was originally a little disturbed, was completely silent in an instant.
