I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

【Analysis Complete, Demon Illustrated Handbook Entry 104 — Skeleton】

【Skeleton; Distribution: Everywhere; Lifespan: 20-400 years; Habits: Generally persistent and dull, influenced by their human form; Hobbies: Dancing / Falling Apart / Musical Instruments; Skills: Swing / Thrust / Bone Club Spin; Predicted Action Success Rate: 99.84%; Weakness: Soul's Resting Place】

On the way out of the arena, Li Yue naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity to analyze the skeleton soldiers, and after the analysis, Li Yue's perception of the skeleton soldiers also changed a little—he didn't expect that these guys who could be reorganized even after being scattered... were actually all lovers of dance and music.

Of course, as monsters without even brains, the success rate of predicting the skeleton's actions is even higher than that of the low-intelligence magic wolves, which can be regarded as one hundred percent. When facing Li Yue, they are like a blank sheet of paper, with almost no possibility of lying.

As for the "weakness" item that Li Yue cares about the most... the Demon Illustrated Handbook also directly gave Li Yue the answer—the soul's resting place is the most important bone of the skeleton soldier, usually relatively hidden, but as long as this part is destroyed, it is equivalent to destroying the skeleton's soul, no matter how fresh the skeleton is, it will eventually die.

It's like the lower abdomen of the magic wolf, except it's easier to destroy.

Through perception, Li Yue discovered that the soul's resting places of the five skeletons were the back of the head, collarbone, thigh root, tailbone, and right big toe respectively... revealing a hint of cunning.

【Marching in step... Left, right, left...】

The memory of the main body tells Li Yue... that the arena is in the back mountain of the Demon King's City. Right now, the five of them are skeletons and one brain spirit... walking on the shady path leading to the Demon King's City castle. The moonlight shines on the swaying branches, and bats occasionally flutter their wings in the forest, stirring up a hurricane from the Southern Sea of Death.

【Turn left at the door... turn left... then turn left...】

Before stepping into the Demon King's City, at the moment when the moonlight and the lights in the city exchanged, Li Yue used his mind to pick up five small stones from the ground and hide them in his brain grooves, enduring the pain and discomfort, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Stepping into the city, no longer in an open space, Li Yue's main body's feedback was that he perceived a great sense of security—the Fifth Repository was not far away, just through two corridors, but it was in completely different directions from the vault and the dungeon.

Li Yue originally had a chance to strike, but gave up after thinking about it—it was the fork in the road leading to the Fifth Repository. Li Yue only needed to use his mind to quickly erase the soul's resting places of the five skeleton soldiers with the hidden small stones to kill them, seize the magic stone, and escape to the Fifth Repository.

Li Yue believed that as long as he reached the Fifth Repository and hid in a wall crevice, then under the "cover" of many brain spirits, except for the Demon King himself... it should be difficult for anyone to find him.

But the reason for Li Yue's abandonment was also very simple—not because of good intentions or unwarranted mercy, but because since entering the castle, there have been several flies constantly surrounding him, perhaps they are Oogie Boogie's spies.

Li Yue didn't know if these flies were staring at him or the magic stone, so he had to choose to give up and look for other opportunities.

【Go upstairs, go to the vault, hand over the magic stone...】

From beginning to end, the skeleton soldiers didn't have the slightest intention of taking the magic stone for themselves. Li Yue couldn't help but admire their persistence and dullness; and those flies were still flying around, buzzing annoyingly...

Wait a minute, if these flies are Oogie Boogie's spies, is there any way to verify it?

Li Yue subconsciously wrapped a closer fly with his mind, and it really confirmed his guess.

【Analyzing... 5%...】

Confirming that the flies were Oogie Boogie's spies, Li Yue certainly didn't have any more ideas about that magic stone—at least not now.

In Li Yue's eyes, that Supreme Magic Stone originally belonged to him, but it was just that he was not strong enough at the moment to cash it in; of course, not being able to cash it in now doesn't mean it can't be done in the future. If conventional methods can't get it, it doesn't mean that crooked ways can't...

Stealing is also a way.

Li Yue has no such restrictions in the Demon King's City, which is full of demons.

Of course, if there is really no chance, Li Yue doesn't plan to take the risk. He will just take it back later—although there are only two monsters in the Demon Illustrated Handbook, their lifespans are hundreds of years...

There are plenty of days ahead.

After deciding to stay put, Li Yue stopped thinking about it, memorizing the terrain of the Demon King's City while following the five skeletons past the stairs, past the guards of the skeleton soldiers, past the shadows silently watching the corridor in the darkness... and finally arrived at the "Vault."

The memory of the main body does not have any information related to the "Vault". Obviously, this part of the information exceeds the scope of contact of the weak brain spirit. Looking at it now, Li Yue sincerely admires the craftsmanship level of the Demon King's City.

A pure gold door stood in front of him like a wailing wall, about ten feet high, with dense and complex magic arrays engraved on the door, faintly emitting a blue light.

Li Yue's mind could not touch the gate of the vault at all. Before he could get close, he would be separated by the flowing magic power in front of the door—if he tried to probe hard, he would even feel a tingling scalp.

In front of the vault door stood a legless floater. The floater's body was wrapped in a gray-black cloak, and two hands stretched out from under the hood. One hand held a cloth bag, and countless metal chains protruded from the mouth of the bag. The other hand held a quill pen, hanging down at the waist.

The iron chains were of different lengths and different rust, each one was dark and shiny, dimly like bloodstains; at this moment, they hung low on the ground, swaying back and forth like octopus tentacles, rubbing against the ground and making a harsh sound, as if sensing the identity of the visitor.

"Uncle... Lord Scribe, we are under the order of Lord Oogie Boogie, the Gambling Demon and King of the Arena, to return the Supreme Magic Stone..." The skeleton holding the silver plate seemed very nervous when facing the floater, and the four who were holding the knife against Li Yue didn't even dare to step forward.

"Oh? Isn't it the reward for this round's winner of the Killing Cup? Wasn't it issued?" The Demon Scribe's voice was like iron in winter, and the face under the cloak seemed a little displeased.

"Lord Oogie Boogie saved it, the winner of this round... doesn't need the Supreme Magic Stone..." The skeleton soldier was still a little stuttering.

I need this magic stone, it's mine—Li Yue slandered.

"Oh... what Supreme Magic Stone, it's just a stone with better color." The Demon Scribe didn't take the magic stone seriously, took out a quill and wrote a note on the parchment, "It's not worth opening the vault door for it, just throw it here."

A chain in the Demon Scribe's bag suddenly stretched out and pointed to a desk drawer in front of the vault.

"Th-th... okay." The skeleton didn't dare to disobey the Demon Scribe's intention and obeyed the order to put it down, and Li Yue secretly remembered the location.

"By the way... when will you pay back the money you borrowed?" The Demon Scribe compared the quill on the parchment, suddenly changed his address, then raised his head and stared at the flies flying around the skeleton.

"Th-th-th..." The skeleton thought the Demon Scribe was asking himself, and his teeth chattered, unable to say a complete sentence.

Instead, the originally乱飞 flies suddenly flew to the same plane, first posing a number "1", and then posing a moon, from full to waning, and then to full.

"A full moon?" The Demon Scribe tapped the parchment with the quill, thought for a long time before answering, "Okay, the interest is 30%. If you can't pay it back, I'll go to the arena to find you."

The flies posed a crying face on the plane, and then posed a smiling face, extremely flattering.

"What is this thing?" The Demon Scribe then asked about Li Yue, who was surrounded by five skeletons.

"Rep-report, Lord Scribe, he is..." A skeleton next to Li Yue looked dull and was about to answer the truth.

"It's nothing, garbage, we're leaving now." Obviously, the leading skeleton soldier was a guy who liked to understand the holy will in his lifetime, and directly skipped this topic.

【Marching in step... Left... right... left...】

Accompanied by the departure of the skeleton's ranks, the flies following Li Yue also dispersed, leaving only one flying next to him; Li Yue confirmed that Oogie Boogie didn't take him to heart, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about how to get rid of this fly... and take back the Supreme Magic Stone he deserved.

Reluctantly leaving the vault, Li Yue wrapped the fly with his mind while firmly remembering the location of the Supreme Magic Stone.
