Darkness’s expression was extremely grim.

"Could this also be the Demon King's instruction?"

"Why does this also involve the Demon King?"

Jiang Li glared at her in dissatisfaction.

"To release so much toxin into the source and have it flow downstream without being noticed requires years of effort. Judging from the timing, this operation should have been going on before the new demon king appeared, and has nothing to do with him!"

Even if toxins are released continuously, it will still be a long and arduous task to pollute all the hot springs without anyone noticing.

Hans had been in Alcanretia for at least several months. Before Jiang Li came to this world, he had already begun to destroy the source of the hot springs here.

"That's true."

Darkness’s expression softened slightly.

“Darkness, you actually feel relieved for the Demon King. Could it be that you really have fallen in love with that Demon King?”

Huihui suddenly yelled and looked at Jiang Li provocatively.

did you see it?

Even if you get her, she still has someone else in her heart, right?

Trick us before you tell us!

Jiang Li looked at Huihui kindly.

Little girl, you are still ten thousand years away from playing tricks on me!

"No, no! I just think that if it were just the cadres acting on their own, we wouldn't have to wage a full-scale war against the Demon King's army!"

Darkness retorted, her face flushing.

"Then why are you blushing?"

"The Demon King is an ideal to me!"

"Shut up, I don't want to hear your ideals!"

Huihui retreated in a panic without Jiang Li even having to intervene.

After a while, amidst laughter and joy, the group of six arrived at the hillside behind the mountain.

"Are there any more levels here?"

Several fences appeared halfway up the mountain, forming the appearance of a mountain gate. Two fully armed soldiers were guarding the gate, staring at them approaching with serious expressions.

"After all, this is the economic lifeline of the entire town, so it's normal for someone to guard it."

"give it to me!"

Aqua volunteered to run forward, using magic to create a holy light behind her.

"Poor lambs still working so late at night! This must be all Alice's fault. I am the wise and kind goddess Aqua. If you are willing to open the mountain gate, I will grant you the honor of joining the Axis Cult! How about it, very exciting, right?"

At first glance, it seems quite plausible, if you ignore what she said.

"...But we are followers of the Alice religion."

A guard watched her expressionlessly as she slandered the goddess she believed in.

"Although we work the night shift, our pay is double that of the day shift. The treatment is excellent, and there's no need for your pity at all."

The other guard's subtle expression held a hint of disdain.

"Besides, the followers of the Axis Cult all have mental problems, and we don't want to be infected by them!"

Do you actually think it's an honor to join the Axis Cult?

Is this person a mentally retarded person?

Fortunately, she is pretty, but as soon as she opens her mouth, wow, she immediately becomes pure and indifferent!

“Why the hell!!”

Aqua ran back crying, jumped into Darkness’s arms, and sobbed.

"look at this."

Jiang Li watched Aqua jump out and get thwarted again, remaining calm the entire time.

He took out the royal emblem in front of the two guards.

"This, this is...!"

The two guards' expressions suddenly changed, and they quickly knelt down respectfully.

"We suspect someone is trying to poison the source of the hot springs on the mountain. Open the gate immediately. I've already told the guild about this, and you can verify it yourself."

Under Jiang Li's instructions, the two didn't even dare to say no and opened the door obediently.

"Those two guards knew the royal pattern..."

"Among the guards of the Alice Cult, those who can work the night shift are all high-ranking Crusader Knights. It's normal to know this."

After entering the gate, everyone rushed to the top of the mountain without stopping.

"I say, could you please not take out the royal emblem so casually?"

Darkness secretly came to Jiang Li's side and said with dissatisfaction on her face.

"That's a symbol of royal status. Few people in the entire ancient Kingdom of Belzer possess it. It's extremely precious. Don't use it carelessly in a place like this!"

“I command you, Darkness, by the royal emblem, to be silent.”

"Hmm~!"

Darkness moaned softly, her face flushed, and she retreated in defeat in the blink of an eye.

mountain top.

A few minutes later, everyone arrived here. It was pitch black all around and even torches could not illuminate the surroundings.

"Aqua, shine!"

"Why should my holy light be used in such a place!"

Aqua exploded on the spot.

Kazuma expressed his willingness to assume 10% of her debt, and Aqua happily released a large amount of dazzling holy light, illuminating most of the mountain top.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

An old man with a weathered face came out and looked at them curiously.

He had blond hair and dense wrinkles, and looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old. He was wearing an expensive robe, like a noble lord.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?!"

Kazuma jumped out with a heroic and confident look.

With the boss behind you, you are not afraid of anyone!

He is always ready to take advantage of the power of others!

"I'm the manager of the hot springs. I have to ensure their health."

The old man smiled kindly.

"Really? Well, we're adventurers who just arrived today. We're here to—"

Seeing that the other party was easy to talk to, He Zhen half believed it.

"Wait a minute."

But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Hans, did you eat people?"

Chapter 888 What’s wrong with eating a person?

2023-06-01

"Hans, did you eat people?"

A voice filled with murderous intent reached my ears.

Sato Kazuma was stunned.

Hans?

Is this old man called Hans?

It has the same name as a cadre of the Demon King's Army!

But why did the boss say he was a cannibal?

"...fuck!"

Sato Kazuma was startled and jumped back with a frightened look on his face.

Hiding behind the boss, Sato Kazuma felt a little safe. He patted his chest with relief and stared at the confused old man as if he had survived a disaster.

"Is this guy Hans? The deadly poisonous slime? Wasn't he a brown-haired burly guy?"

"what are you guys saying?"

The aristocratic old man looked at them in confusion, not understanding what they meant at all.

"It's a slime, so of course it can take on any shape it wants."

Jiang Li's face was cold, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

"But the prerequisite is that he needs to eat that person first."

One of the Deadly Toxic Slime's innate abilities is the ability to mimic the appearance of the humans it eats!

But even so, what he imitated was only the appearance, and he definitely did not simulate all the internal organs. Under that layer of human skin, there was still that jelly-like sticky liquid!

Such a simple mimicry ability cannot escape Jiang Li's detection!

"Eat the mimic?"

Kazuma shuddered, fear surging from the bottom of his heart. He quickly fled to the back of the crowd, attracting a wave of contemptuous glances.

"You're so rude calling others slimes right off the bat!"

The blond old man wrinkled his old face, his face full of offended displeasure.

"Is this old man really a Demon King Army officer? He doesn't look like one."

Youyou was bewitched by his appearance and began to waver a little.

She subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to ask Mr. Nanxiang to confirm again.

But then her wrist was grabbed, and Huihui squeezed her wrist seriously, holding her wand in front of her, which was a sign that she was on alert.

"Don't you want to admit it? Then let me ask you, how is the hot spring?"

"Of course the hot springs are fine."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then said calmly.

"Aqua!"

Jiang Li suddenly shouted behind him.

It was not until this moment that Youyou realized that Miss Aqua had disappeared without a trace.

"He's lying!"

Aqua jumped out from behind the old man and pointed at him angrily.

"The hot springs have been poisoned for a long time. Even the color has changed. There is absolutely no way they are fine!"

"Tsk, just do unnecessary things!"

The blond old man instantly tore off his disguise, revealing a ferocious look on his face.

The human's skin dissolved away in the blink of an eye, and a muscular middle-aged man with a brown flat head emerged from inside. He glared at Aqua with anger, as if he wanted to kill her as soon as possible!

He has poisoned all seven hot spring sources. When the time comes, the poison will flow into all the hot springs in Alcanretia through the tributaries, and then all the damn Akusis believers will die!
