He could clearly feel that the one-horned demon in front of him was very strong.
The two rows of demonic soldiers remained silent and stood where they were.
The blood-red color around them made them look unusually sinister, but Xu Bai could feel the gazes coming from their eyes.
This gaze was completely different from the sinister one. It was filled with curiosity.
It was a very strange feeling. It was clearly strange, but it carried the emotions of a human. The curiosity in his eyes was even stronger than that of a human.
Although the horned demon in front of him was very strong, Xu Bai did not sense any killing intent from it.
He had been in this circle for a long time, so he had some feelings about killing intent. His intuition told him that it was unlikely to start a fight.
As expected, the one-horned demonic creature who was leading the team also looked at him curiously. After a moment, he took two steps forward tentatively and asked,”Humans?”
Xu Bai nodded and asked back, “Demon?’”‘
No one would have thought that the meeting between the two sides would actually be in such a manner.
After the two of them finished asking each other questions, they fell into a long silence.
“The 563rd City of the Bizarre Demon City, City Guard Captain Wang Fu, welcomes you.”Wang Fu suddenly cupped his hands and said,” Your Excellency must have experienced a lot of hardships to be here. Why don’t you go to the city and have a seat? The City Lord has already set up a banquet in the city to entertain you.”
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin, thinking.
The other party’s attitude was simply too strange. It might have been reasonable for them to start a fight before meeting, but now, they were inviting him to the city as a guest. Moreover, this strange person called Wang
Fu wasn’t even the City Lord.
Should he go or not?
This was a question worth considering.
Wang Fu seemed to see that Xu Bai was hesitating, so he waved his hand and said, “Sir, please don’t misunderstand. Everyone knows that the City Lord is hospitable. Moreover, if I really wanted to harm you, I would have already taken action.”
Xu Bai raised his head. The other party was right.
Now, it was equivalent to him walking into the other party’s nest. If the other party really wanted to attack him, he would have done so long ago. There was no need to waste so much time here. If it were him, he would have pulled out his knife and given him a stab instead of talking here.
“Since the City Lord is so hospitable, then it would be impolite ot me to refuse. Please lead the way!”Xu Bai said with a smile.
“Please!” Wang Fu stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction as he led the way.
Xu Bai walked behind them. As he walked, he looked around.
This place was really too much like a place where humans lived. Be it the surrounding houses or the atmosphere, it really did not look like a Bizarre City.
If they were placed in the human world, or if they were given a different appearance, they would probably be a gathering of humans.
Along the way, he did not speak.
Wang Fu did not seem to plan on asking anything and just silently led the way.
Seeing this, Xu Bai did not plan to say anything and simply followed behind.
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a magnificent building appeared in front of them. Compared to the surrounding houses, this building was simply a crane in a flock of chickens. It looked abnormally luxurious. This style was definitely the City Lord’s Mansion.
Two rows of guards stood in front of the city lord’s mansion. They were holding weapons in their hands and standing on both sides. They looked unusually solemn. If not for the deathly aura, they looked no different from human soldiers.
“Please, the City Lord is inside.” Wang Fu opened the door and raised his hand, making an inviting gesture.
Xu Bai didn’t go in. Instead, he stood at the door and looked inside. From outside, he could see the situation in the courtyard through the door.
In the courtyard, there was a huge table. On the table were delicacies, wine, and delicacies.
On both sides of the table stood various guards and maids. In front of the table sat a plump middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked no different from a human, but he had a few long whiskers on his face, like a mouse. Moreover, his hands were like beast claws, looking especially sinister.
If this wasn’t the case, he looked more like a fat man who often smiled.
The middle-aged man seemed to have sensed Xu Bai’s gaze and looked over. His eyes were kind, but there was more of a deathly stillness than kindness.
“Aiya, an honored guest has arrived. Please come in.”The middle-aged man stood up with a big belly. He walked to the door and smiled kindly. “I am the City Lord of the 563rd City, Huang Kui. Greetings, honored guest. May I know your name?”
“I’m Lin Yong. Greetings, City Lord Huang.”Xu Bai cupped his hands.
As for the name, he learned it on the spot and pulled Lin Yong’s name over. In this day and age, there were some sinister moves that could be used to do something through their names.
Therefore, it was better not to reveal his name. Although it was difficult to use those strange moves with just a name, he had to be careful. After all, there was always someone better.
“So it’s Mr. Lin, please come in.” City Lord Huang stretched out his hand and led Xu Bai into the courtyard. He let Xu Bai sit at the head of the table.
At this time, Xu Bai was closer and saw the things on the table. At first, he thought they were delicacies, but when he got closer, he saw that they were all made of soil.
Xu Bai was speechless.
Good heavens, he was used to many shabby ways of receiving guests, but he did not expect there to be such a shabby way. It even used soil to make the
surface shape..
