They eventually reached the deepest part of the ghostveil forest, but no demons or beasts were there, as if they didn't dare approach. Angela suddenly pointed to a giant banyan tree right in the middle of the area and informed them. 'Hey! The voice came from that tree, and it seems to be an old tree demon.' Hearing that, Zhang Xiaolong immediately asked Mei to scan the tree, and the AI quickly displayed its status. === Name: Arbeola Age: 100,000+ years old Gender: Male Race: Banyan Tree Demon Rank: Archduke Elements: darkness and wood. Physique: Elderwood demon physique. Abilities: tree control, wood manipulation, tree generation, enhanced endurance, natural weaponry, self-sustenance, disease immunity, contaminant immunity, and so on. Strong: darkness and wood. Weak: light and fire. === 'Holy crap! This demon is the oldest demon I've ever met, but its rank is only at Archduke rank!' Zhang Xiaolong screamed with shock in his heart. [Master, it seems that it is more difficult for the demons in this realm to increase their rank compared to the demons in the Diyu Realm, especially since each of their ranks is three to four levels above theirs.] 'I think so too, especially since a Duke or Duchess demon in this realm has strength equal to Ursula and the others.' Zhang Xiaolong immediately informed the female demons by his side. 'This demon is a banyan tree demon named Arbeola, and his rank is Archduke rank. His strength should exceed that of the Diyu Realm's emperor or empress rank demon, so we must be careful.' 'How exactly do you know all that?' With curious looks, Ursula, Virgil, and Angela asked at the same time, especially since they themselves couldn't do such a thing. However, Zhang Xiaolong only smiled at them, especially since he still didn't want to reveal the existence of the system and Mei to anyone, causing them to frown at his secrecy. After ensuring the safety of the area, Zhang Xiaolong brought them to land in front of the giant banyan tree demon before undoing his invisibility. However, Ursula immediately moved in front of them, activating their light power as they stared at the tree with seriousness. Soon, a white-bearded old man's face suddenly emerged from the tree trunk, and two hands formed from tree branches appeared on either side of it. Arbeola immediately observed Ursula, Virgil, and Angela. "As expected, a fallen winged race, a devourer demon, and a fish demon. Moreover, all of you are not natives of this realm, and your demon rank has reached the empress and duchess ranks, but your strengths are too weak." After Arbeola recognized the identities of the three female demons, their tension increased. Angela, who was hiding behind Zhang Xiaolong, asked him a question. "Why did you call me to come here, sir?" "I just felt lonely in this forest, and you were the only one who didn't have the light element among them, so I called you to come here." They were dumbfounded by Arbeola's response and thought his reasoning was absurd, and he then glanced at Zhang Xiaolong. "However, you are the most interesting among them, kid. If I'm not mistaken, you should have two other identities besides your incubus identity; you are a human and a beast, right?" Zhang Xiaolong then pointed to the realm's central area. "The first time I went to this realm, I arrived in that area, and the dead forest was there. However, the distance was quite far, and it would take us seven to ten days to get there. Fortunately, I had my movement ability, so I could have gotten here sooner." "How did you know about that mysterious living creature, kid?" Arbeola asked in a serious tone as he stared at Zhang Xiaolong. I don't know how to explain it, but I can sense something unusual." Zhang Xiaolong lied with a straight face, especially since he hadn't even told his family about Mei and the system, so there was no way he could tell a stranger like Arbeola about the two. "Anyway, I also found a bewildering formation in that forest, so I think it was built intentionally to stop other demons from approaching the area, and that mysterious living creature might be a threat to this realm." Arbeola shook his head at Zhang Xiaolong. "I know that a mysterious living creature is sealed in the heart of the dead forest, and the demon emperor sealed it there. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about it because I can't check the place, and the trees there never answer my call either." "I see." Zhang Xiaolong nodded in understanding as he muttered to himself. 'If an old demon like Arbeola didn't know about that mysterious creature, then a demon like Xenaya wouldn't know about it either, so I have to go to the Demon Emperor City to find out about it. However, I won't be able to go there anytime soon, and I must first increase my demon rank as high as possible before I can go there.' Continue your adventure at empire Mei immediately teased Zhang Xiaolong. [Master, the Amaris Twins are already in your hands, and Angela obviously likes you, so you can eat the three of them right away. Additionally, Xenaya has already offered herself to you, and her female essence is definitely much stronger and more abundant than theirs, so you don't need to hold back and use them to increase your demon rank.] 'Tch! What a pervert, AI! If you had a real body, I'd definitely eat you too!' [Humph! Keep dreaming! I'm an AI that lives inside the system, so you won't be able to eat me!] "So what are you all planning to do next? Are you guys going to continue training in this forest?" Arbeola suddenly asked them. Ursula, Virgil, and Angela immediately pointed at Zhang Xiaolong. "We don't know anything about this realm, and he's the one who brought us here, so the decision is up to him." "Haha." Zhang Xiaolong laughed at their behavior, then told Arbeola. "We do want to train in this forest for a while, but I'm going to the Lust City to meet someone later, so I hope you can help me protect them while I'm there." "Do you want to join the Incubi Tower? I advise you not to join them, especially since that place will be hell for you." Zhang Xiaolong looked at Arbeola in confusion, especially since Xenaya had told him that the incubus were eager to join them. "Yhrer is extremely egotistical, and he will never allow another Incubus to develop. If he finds out about your potential, he will capture you and absorb your demon power, so you will never be able to develop. Instead, you can visit Cain at the mansion north of the city, but he is arrogant and eccentric, so you will have to work hard to win him over. Although he is only a marquis rank demon, that incubus lord does not dare fight him head-on, and I dare to guarantee that you will not regret receiving his support." Zhang Xiaolong smiled after hearing that, especially since he himself had already thought about going to the mansion to meet Yu Xixuan and Lu Xin. "All right, thank you for your advice, and I will try to go to that mansion later. Zhang Xiaolong smiled after hearing that, especially since he himself had already thought about going to the mansion to meet Yu Xixuan and Lu Xin. "All right, thank you for your advice, and I will try to go to that mansion later. Do you know about the three succubi duchesses?" - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1.
