Chapter 832: Old Demon Gluttony (1/2)

811'>

Every time he pa.s.sed through here, Tang Wulin felt as if he'd returned to Shrek Academy. He really missed those days! Even though the cultivation was still very arduous back then, at the very least, he didn't have to endure this type of torture.

He had finally managed to complete the tasks Nightmare had set for him, yet it appears that this was only the beginning. This was the first time that he'd met Old Demon Gluttony; what was this old demon going to make him do?

Tang Wulin was most concerned about his friends. He had been apart from them for so long, and he had no idea what condition they were in. He didn't even know whether they were dead or alive.

He was the captain who had led them here to partic.i.p.ate in this military training. If they were to die here, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.

Old Demon Gluttony released Tang Wulin's arm, and said in a deep echoey voice, ”Don't worry about your friends; just focus on yourself. Don't worry, Nightmare wouldn't dare to do anything to them without my orders. They all like to torture people, but I'm above that. Only immature demons like them would stoop to such childish activities. You'll be able to look forward to much better days ahead with me. Do you know why my nickname is Gluttony?”

Better days ahead?

Tang Wulin's expression remained unchanged, and he was entirely unconvinced.

In the beginning, he had thought that perhaps Old Demon Scourge was a good demon, if such a thing actually existed. However, after enduring the torture of absorbing that destructive energy and witnessing everything that had unfolded after that, he had naturally caught on to the fact that Old Demon Scourge was on the same side as Old Demon Nightmare.

This old man was also one of the old demons, so there were most definitely not pleasant days ahead for him. The old demon was just going to torture him in another way.

Seeing as he didn't know what the old demon was going to do, he merely refused to talk. He didn't have any other choice but to endure all of the torment thrown at him by these old demons. There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. He was hoping that this was still a test from the academy, and that all of these old demons were merely testing him. It was exactly because he was holding onto this glimmer of hope that he was just barely able to withstand all of this pain.

Old Demon Gluttony glanced at Tang Wulin with a meaningful expression. ”My nickname is Gluttony because I like to eat. I loved to eat as a human, and that love only grew after I became a demon. That's why I'm different from them; all of them have been bored witless and are messed up in the head. Only I enjoy my life on this demonic island because there are so many foods to be eaten here. As long as there are things to eat, I'll never feel bored, and I can always derive joy from eating.”

Eat? Tang Wulin couldn't help but gulp upon hearing this. According to his own deduction, more than three months should've pa.s.sed since he first came to this island, and he hadn't eaten anything this entire time aside from that sea soul beast sas.h.i.+mi; he was solely using the rich life force energy here to sustain himself. This didn't affect his bodily condition, but it was extremely painful for him not to be able to eat, especially with an appet.i.te like his.

Now, there was an old demon telling him that he also liked to eat, and a strong sense of starvation immediately surged into mind. This was a purely psychological reaction as his body was receiving sufficient physical sustenance from the life force energy here.

Old Demon Gluttony could see the desire for a good meal in Tang Wulin's eyes, and he immediately smiled as he said, ”Looks like you're also a big fan of food, right?”

He snapped his fingers, and continued, ”We have a common interest then! From now on, you just have to eat everything that I eat; it'll be simple!”

Tang Wulin immediately asked, ”What are we going to eat?”

Old Demon Gluttony chuckled, ”Don't worry, I won't find anything particularly disgusting for you to eat. Seeing as we're eating, we naturally have to consume things that are edible and nutritious. Come here, kid.”

He continued deeper into the forest as he spoke, and Tang Wulin hurriedly followed along.
