Chapter Twenty-Four: The Succubus Fool and the Hatched Egg
Kamary only casually mentioned it, whether John agreed or not, it was no problem for her. Every small world in Purgatory will have a monarch, and in the end, the monarch will lead his subordinates to attack the source continent, these are all plans that have been formulated, as for who the monarch is - who cares about such a trivial matter?
John was genuinely considering Catyline's proposal, and replied, "Sounds good, you can give it a try when you have time." There was a look of interest in Catyline's big eyes. It seems that although it is only mentioned casually, this proposal is also very much in line with her appetite.
It didn't take long for Lily, the succubus, to drag a monster resembling a wild deer back to the edge of the cave, and then skillfully hung the deer upside down and slashed the deer's belly with a small stone knife, and took out the entrails and threw them away. It seems that the deer had already bled when it was caught, and did not see much blood coming out when it was dissected. That's a good thing, John didn't want to be surrounded by all kinds of Warcraft and demons for a long time.
Watching Lily take the large piece of shaved flesh and wrap it in animal skin, and look at himself with a flattering face, John also knew what to do. Pick up a small stone knife and cut the meat into jerky, then build a barbecue tray with the stones placed next to it on the campfire, and when the stones are almost burned, the bar jerky is placed on the stones. With the sound of barbecue, the fat of the deer that John first placed on it was roasted at high temperatures, and the original solid fat turned into fat and flowed out. John is not afraid of being hot, so he directly pinched the fat with his hands and rubbed it on the baking sheet - this is made by learning the Korean barbecue method common in the rough stone world, and the important thing is that it is not easy to burn, and he can grill a lot of things at one time without distracting himself from taking care of each meat strip - anyway, even if it is a little burnt, he is not afraid, no matter how better than raw.
Watching John put the meat on the baking sheet, Lily couldn't hide the smile on her face. Thinking that there would be cooked meat to eat after a while, Lily suddenly felt that it was not bad to be a slave of this strong man. Not only was he not abused, but he was able to enjoy a more comfortable life than before, without worrying about death that could come at any time, such a day was completely unimaginable in the past, except for the fear that his soul would be destroyed by another burn every time he experimented. It was a great day!
John looked at Lily, who was holding the roasted meat strips and smiling in confusion, and always felt that from time to time he had ignited her soul tentacles, burning this succubus who was originally more intelligent than most demons. Forget it, a fool is a fool, as long as you can use that soul tentacle and go out hunting to deal with these chores by yourself. John didn't expect this succubus to help him anything, what he valued was the angry soul trick, since this was the case, let her go alone in the corner.
Lily didn't expect that she had been positioned as a fool in John's heart, and she was still holding the barbecue with both hands on the side, stuffing it into her mouth one by one, her cheeks were already swollen and she didn't stop moving, and she was eating the barbecue slowly by the campfire with John. This comparison can also show a hint of purgatory's cruelty.
When John saw that Lily had finished eating, he put down the jerky in his hand and beckoned Lily to come over. Lily sat on her back in the corner, and from time to time she slapped her hand on her belly - her belly, which could no longer hold anything, was no longer as slender and slender as it used to be, and was bulging with the jerky in her belly. Lily, who had a happy smile on her face, was knocked from heaven to the ground when she saw John beckoning: it was time to start working again. Thinking that in that environment where the soul is afraid of being burned, I can't really touch the charm of the soul, and I have a headache when I think about it, but I can't refuse. Lily knew that the only thing she had value in the eyes of her master was this charm. She knew that this hand was not unique to her, as long as any succubus or desire demon would use it, if she wanted to refuse, she might be abandoned—not to mention that her real name was still mastered, and she couldn't even control her own death at that time.
Well, work and work are better than being born and dying before, even if the soul is injured, there is a chance to cultivate, and death is only an instant, no one can have another chance. Lily comforted herself.
John watched Lily's soul tentacle reach out to him, and was about to touch it as before, when he suddenly noticed something unusual, so he reached out to stop Lily's movements, and turned his head to the side - the griffin egg placed beside him.
The griffin egg had ceased to move since it had given birth to its soul, and if it hadn't been for the fact that the soul fire inside the egg was still burning vigorously, and it was getting stronger and stronger, John would have thought that the egg had become a dead egg. Now, the size of the egg's soul fire has exceeded the size of the egg, and it is getting more and more vigorous, and this aroused John's interest.
Lily also saw movement on this side after John stopped her. In her eyes, the egg, which had been carried by her owner from the beginning, began to shake slightly, and slowly, the egg fell and rolled around on the ground, as if it would roll into the fire if she was not careful. In fact, the egg did roll in the direction of the fire, but when it was about to enter the fire, John fished it back by hand and put it beside him. The egg was still restless even though it had been taken by John, and John had to hold it gently with one hand and stop rolling.
After a while, John felt a slight tremor in the middle, and upon closer inspection, a crack appeared in the eggshell. The cracks grew larger and wider, and began to spread like spider webs. Soon cracks in the webs appeared on an entire eggshell. Then, a small eggshell falls off the surface of the egg, as if it was a chain reaction, and more eggshells fall off, leaking a small head. The little head kept calling in John's direction after it leaked out, and threw its neck at the broken eggshells around the hole, knocking the hole bigger and bigger, and when it was the right size, it stretched out a claw from the egg and pulled it out, expanding the east until the whole body was able to get out of the hole.
The little guy who had just come out was still weak and struggled to move, but he still walked all the way in John's direction, and from time to time he tripped over the uneven ground of the cave and staggered to his feet.
Seeing this, John stretched out his hand and put it in front of the little griffin, and the little griffin climbed into John's hand and stood still, but looked at John's face with his big eyes, and the light of the fireflies reflected a shining luster in his eyes. John dragged the little guy and slowly moved it in front of him, and the little guy stopped jumping, looked straight at John's face, and then raised his head happily and shouted at John: "Chirp~"
