Chapter 1010: Chapter 982 Earth Demon City

Li Chen’s figure was traversing through the forest.

According to the two Earth Demons he spoke with, beyond this forest lay the territory of the Earth Demon Clan.

It has to be said, these Earth Demons really belonged to the type of people with limited education and easy to deceive.

Meanwhile, based on his encounters with the Earth Demon Clan, Li Chen could discern that the stronger the Earth Demons were, the smarter they seemed. This method probably wouldn’t work in front of those powerful Earth Demons.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Li Chen didn’t trouble those two Earth Demons further but instead drew in a Demon Beast with similar power, letting the two Earth Demons deal with it.

For, in this scenario, the two Earth Demons wouldn’t have time to ponder too much.

After all, although the Earth Demons weren’t very intelligent, given some time to think, they might eventually notice something.

"Good luck to you," Li Chen tapped the ground with his staff, transforming into a shadow and disappearing into the forest.

During his traversal, Li Chen concealed all his Energy.

After all, the Earth Demon Clan can dominate the land within a thousand miles, evidently, they are not to be underestimated. Li Chen feared drawing unnecessary trouble, at least until he decided to act; he didn’t want to expose himself.

"Hoo—"

After crossing the forest, Li Chen’s gaze slightly focused.

Not far away, indeed, appeared a vast gathering place.

In this gathering place, a large number of Earth Demons were traversing, besides them, Li Chen spotted several other Races he had never seen before, walking calmly with their feet on the ground. Moreover, walls had begun to rise around this gathering area, seemingly developing into a city.

"So I’ve arrived in the animal world?" A peculiar thought popped into Li Chen’s mind.

Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly; he keenly noticed that some humans seemed to be moving about in this gathering area.

These humans seemed indistinguishable from the Earth Demons, and the surrounding other Races didn’t give them any odd looks, as if it was completely normal.

"It appears this place is more complicated than I imagined." Li Chen slightly raised his head, gazing at the azure sky.

Around the Earth Demon Clan’s gathering area, there seemed to be simple roads.

And these other Races seemed to have traveled from these roads.

Li Chen pondered slightly, then learning from others, walked onto one of the roads nonchalantly, heading toward the Earth Demon Clan’s gathering place.

Among the primitive ’walls’ in this gathering area, there were some gaps, resembling city gates.

"Earth Demon City? What a straightforward name."

Li Chen reached the city gate, immediately stopped by two Earth Demon Clan soldiers.

"Human, what brings you to our Earth Demon Clan?"

In front of Li Chen, many were being questioned, so he listened in on their conversations.

With a slight smile, Li Chen spoke hoarsely to the two Earth Demons, "I am an Alchemist, here to trade some potions as I heard the Earth Demon warriors have fought hard against the Demon Beasts."

"Alchemist?"

The two looked at Li Chen, then their eyes slightly brightened.

It should be known, on this continent, battles due to various reasons are quite common.

Where there are battles, there are injuries, so doctors and Alchemists become one of the most sought-after groups.

After all, no one can guarantee they will remain unharmed forever.

And even though Energy within the body can be used for healing, having potions and doctors surely aids in a faster recovery.

Upon hearing Li Chen claim to be an Alchemist, the expressions of the two Earth Demons changed and they immediately welcomed him warmly inside.

Watching the friendly looks of the two alongside him and the others behind, Li Chen couldn’t help but marvel.

No matter where, capable people always receive some special treatment.

While useless people can only sigh at the world’s injustice.

They never considered that the world was ever fair.

"Anyway, I’m not really here to sell potions." Li Chen glanced at the departing two Earth Demons, a glint sparkling in his eyes.

This is the territory of the Earth Demon Clan, and while the Earth Demon Clan protects its subjects, it also levies exceptionally high taxes, something Li Chen was quite clear about.

Traveling along, Li Chen passed several villages, almost every village had situations similar to Kalin Village, some even worse.

Because they couldn’t meet the Earth Demon Clan’s harsh grain taxes, they were forcibly driven out, eventually becoming prey to beasts or captured by other Races as slaves, worked to death.

Li Chen had observed such occurrences several times over the past two days.

Yet, he didn’t intervene.

For he knew he couldn’t really help.

Even if he temporarily saved those people, without the Earth Demon Clan’s protection, their fate would remain unchanged.

Plus, he wasn’t some sage to go saving everyone he saw.

"Although I am not a good person, I am an evil person." Li Chen’s gaze turned to a fortress-like building in the distance, his eyes bursting with strange radiance.

Cherie had told Li Chen about his wish.

He wished for Kalin Village to remain peaceful, free from Earth Demon Clan oppression.

To achieve this, overthrowing the Earth Demon Clan’s upper echelons would suffice.

It was evident that even within the Earth Demon Clan, many at the bottom were discontent with those above. This only made Li Chen less hesitant.

He knew a lot but was best at killing.

Whether it be humans or any other kind of creature!

"This thing is called Hemostatic Powder and it can stop bleeding from wounds in the shortest time possible. It also minimizes Energy consumption when fighting enemies." Li Chen entered a seemingly grand store, tossed a bottle out, and declared.

The shopkeeper was a Earth Demon with large, copper-like eyes, looked at Li Chen somewhat perplexed.

"How much Money can I get for selling this?" Li Chen impatiently asked.

The biggest flaw of the Earth Demon Clan is their slow reaction; needing him to spell things out before they understood.

"Selling things, huh!" The Earth Demon owner’s eyes lit up, chuckled, and took Li Chen’s bottle.

"Wait! What did you just say? This thing can quickly stop bleeding?"
