Chapter 248: Killing Madness! Nicholas Xiu!

Chapter 248 Killing Madness! Nicholas Xiu!

The Minotaur was immersed in it, his mind constantly wandering over a scene mentioned in the book, his blood boiling, feeling like he was becoming the young man in the book.

The work in front of him seemed to contain a unique charm that made him fall deeply into it, convinced of this world in the book.

From the bottom of his heart, he recognized it.

“Eh eh eh!” Suddenly, the owner of the bookstore patted him hard on the shoulder.

“What’s wrong?” He frowned, white breath puffing out of his nose, not liking the feeling of being interrupted while reading a book.

“We agreed to try it out, how long have you been reading it all?” The owner was exasperated, it was supposed to be a small business.

“How long?” The minotaur jarred, he obviously only read a few pages …… Hey?

He froze, realizing that the booklet in his hand was more than halfway through.

Then he looked at the sky.

It was only afternoon when he first arrived, and now it was completely dark, with starlight spreading over the streets.

Has it been so long?

Without realizing it, time had passed so quickly?
“How much is this book, I’ll buy it!” The minotaur came to his senses and said without hesitation.

“One crystal shatter!” The boss responded, then curiously said, “This book is that good looking?”

The minotaur was a regular customer in his place, and such an out-of-character behavior was not common.

“Good looking ah, you don’t even know the books in your own store?” The minotaur did not hesitate to say, his copper bell eyes filled with exuberance.

“I have so many books in my store, how do I have time to read them all one by one?” The boss muttered, a newcomer author’s book, he didn’t have much interest in it, he didn’t expect the minotaur to actually advocate this book so much, so take a look at it yourself when you have time.

The minotaur bought the book and didn’t leave, directly found a corner to sit down and read.

He held and read, savored, invisible, that brand in his soul deep seed.

He himself did not notice, the original cloudy light in his eyes gradually became clear, the numbness of being oppressed for a lifetime gradually dissipated, rich in passion.

“Te motherfucking …… Nalan family should be destroyed!!!”

He became more and more involved, trembling with anger due to the plot of the book, and violently burst out a foul mouth.

Then turned to the next page.

The end!
Nope!

“Boss, where’s the next volume? Bring it!” He was busy getting up and yelling.

“No!” The boss’s voice drifted far away.

“What?”

“There is no next volume, that nameless author wrote one!” The boss repeated again.

The minotaur asked several times for the same answer and finally died.

“If I were you, it shouldn’t be the book that I’m concerned about right now, see for yourself what time it is!” The boss suddenly spoke up, nudging towards the outside of the room.

“Crap!” The minotaur sat up in shock, looking flustered, he was the escort of one of the young masters in the Earth Demon Elephant Clan, not going back after the hour belonged to AWOL, and would be heavily punished!
“Why didn’t you remind me earlier?” He panicked a batch, rolling and crawling towards the door.

“…… Hey! You stand still!” The boss looked at his hurriedly departing figure, a belly full of fire with no place to send it.

Still no reminder?

He had said it a dozen times!
The Minotaur had been immersed in the book and ignored him, and now he was blaming him instead? What kind of devil is that?
He cracked a few curses, and his eyes suddenly fell on a book in his hand.

Is this book really that good?

……

“Aaah …… I know I’m wrong master …… Please spare me this time …… Aaah… …”

The Earth Demon Elephant Clan, in an extremely spacious and ancient courtyard.

The minotaur was being tortured, and four tall demon tribesmen were carrying steel whips with runic symbols, ruthlessly slapping and smashing on his body.

Although he had a strong body and powerful defense, in front of this steel whip, it was no different from paper mache, and soon his skin was cracked, bloody, and his vitality was weak.

“Alright, stop!”

High above, a purple-robed teenager, topped with a huge long elephant trunk, leaned on a wide chair, indifferent.

The punishment below stopped at once.

“Remembering that you have followed this young master for many years, today you are spared from death, if there is a next time, there will be no mercy!” The purple-robed teenager said indifferently.

“Thank …… master for forgiveness!” The minotaur’s voice was weak, lying on the ground unable to move.

“Hmm.” The purple-robed teenager squeezed out a voice from his nose, very condescending, and suddenly his gaze condensed, finding something under the minotaur.

He raised his hand and instantly took this object into his hand, it was actually a book of words.

“The whole day is addicted to this kind of vulgar things, no wonder on the right thing negligence! This thing is confiscated, later take it to be burned, in the future give this young master to work properly, do you hear me?” He glanced at it and reprimanded.

“Yes ……,” the minotaur’s heart was dripping blood.

This book was bought for a crystal fragment, equivalent to half a month of his salary.

Now it was just gone.

The people around him dispersed, the sound of footsteps faded away, and the minotaur lay on his back for a long time before he had a trace of strength to struggle to get up.

He looked towards the palace where the purple-robed teenager lived, and for the first time in his life, unyielding flames surged in his eyes, “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don’t deceive the youth!”

But soon, he came back to his senses and busily covered his mouth.

Damn, what was he thinking?

Luckily it wasn’t overheard, or else his little life would have been lost!

……

The purple-robed teenager was named Elephant Mountain.

The ninth son of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan.

He returned to his palace and realized that someone was already waiting for him.

“Father?” Elephant Mountain was slightly surprised and was busy saluting.

“Where have you been?” Elephant Lou’s voice was dull and unruffled.

“The escort made a mistake and punished him!” Elephant Mountain bowed his head and said with some trepidation.

“A squire made a mistake, do you need to go and personally discipline him?” Elephant Lou turned around and stared at Elephant Mountain, hating him and saying, “This kind of small matter is also worth your distraction, no wonder your grades in the last few assessments have gotten worse and worse!”

He angrily rebuked, flinging a parchment scroll onto the ground.

Elephant Mountain’s head went even lower, silent.

“I remember when you were born, the clan celebrated, thinking that you would be the one to lead our Earth Demon Clan to a new glory, and even the Old Ancestor appeared and personally christened you! But look at you now, what do you look like?”

“Look at your sixth brother, who was originally inferior to you, how brilliant is he now? Being chosen to participate in the Divine Demon Ritual Sacrifice, my entire Earth Demon Elephant Clan is proud of it and is filled with glory!”

“Don’t you feel ashamed? If I were you, I would have crashed my head to the ground!”

Elephant Lou cursed more and more viciously, his face grimacing.

Elephant Mountain remained silent, but his drooping fists clenched.

Chaos reigned in his mind.

When he thought of the beginning, when he was in glory, his bloodline was pure, the most in the Earth Demon Elephant Clan in hundreds of years, and everyone was surrounding him with stars.

Only because his sixth brother had a strange encounter, the concentration of bloodline greatly increased, a clan competition used dishonorable means to seriously injure him, bedridden for several years.

In the Demon Clan, there is no such thing as honorable and dishonorable.

The one who stands is the winner.

More than ruthlessness of heart and means, he was clearly inferior to his sixth brother.

Since then, his era passed and the curtain fell, leaving only cynicism around him.

Including his father who was originally kind to him.

He also looked at him with displeasure everywhere.

Whenever his heart was not in the right place, he would come to scold him and fight with his fists.

After a long time, the Elephant House, who had finished venting, let out a cold snort and left with a flourish.

Elephant Mountain numbly sent his father’s father away.

Returning to his house, he intended to adjust his mind and swallow it all in his stomach as usual.

Just then, he suddenly realized that he still had a talking book in his hand.

It was pinched by him. I can’t believe I forgot to burn it before?

He threw it on the ground and condensed a ball of demonic fire in his hand, intending to incinerate the words directly.

Suddenly, he saw a few words from that talking book.

“…… Falling Genius?”

He was stunned, his heart felt like it had been poked by something, wasn’t this talking about …… him?

Ghostly, a thought drove him, picking up the talking book, laying it flat, and reading it page by page.

……

Midnight.

The Minotaur was sprawled out on his humble bed, rubbing out the medicine and resting hard.

He looked at the ceiling and lamented why his own fate was so sad.

“If only, I also had an ancestral ring!” In a trance, a thought surfaced in his mind, also longing for an old grandfather to help him out of his misery.

Just then.

A head poked out, quite suddenly, a pair of eyes staring at him intently.

It startled him.

“What the-” he exclaimed, raising his sandbag-sized fist to strike.

Unexpectedly, the other party’s strength was amazing, and a palm came down, shaking him with his bed directly to the ground.

He, who was already badly injured, immediately opened his mouth and tried to let out a miserable howl.

But it was muffled.

“Don’t make a sound!”

“Master …… master?” He was surprised, this one who broke into his room in the middle of the night was actually Elephant Mountain.

“What about the second volume?” Elephant Mountain stared at him, his eyes red, as if there was some sort of light pulsating.

“What second scroll?” The minotaur was in a state of semi-cluelessness.

“The book, where is the second volume of the book?” Elephant Mountain was near frantic and hysterical.

His hands were so hard that he pressed the minotaur’s head to the point of raw pain, and the other party finally responded that he was talking about the book that had just been collected up today.

“No …… no!” The minotaur said with difficulty.

“You take it out, this young master does not blame you! It can also grant you precious medicine to heal your wounds!” Elephant Mountain was busy saying.

“There really isn’t one master! I didn’t get it, it says the author hasn’t written it yet!” Elephant Mountain’s offer was very tempting, but the minotaur was also helpless, he also wanted the next volume, but there was simply none.

Upon hearing this, Elephant Mountain fell silent, confirming that the minotaur wasn’t lying before releasing him, cursing under his breath.

He finished the first volume of that talking book.

Watching it over and over again, the more he watched it, the more engrossed he became in it, as if flames were burning in his heart, and his battle intent was raging.

He felt that this story was customized for him.

He was the main character in the story.

What a great way to put it, Mojo ……!

It is a pity that this volume is too short, it is simply not enough to read, and it makes him itchy in his heart, not to mention cultivation, even normal sleep can not be done.

……

At the same time.

Back to Dream Lounge.

“Boss, do you have any new books to recommend lately?”

“It’s a good time to come, highly recommend ‘Fighting Fire Vault’, absolutely wonderful, guaranteed that you’ve never seen such a good looking book before~” the boss was excited beyond belief, he spent a few nights watching the first volume over and over again, how could he not get tired of it, the more he watched the more energized he became, feeling that his soul had been sublimated.

“Fighting Fire Vault? What strange and weird name? Which author wrote it?”

“A newcomer, called Nicholas Xiu, although it’s a newcomer, I can guarantee that it doesn’t cost any money if it’s not good!” The boss exuberantly said.

Upon hearing this, those customers in the store were surprised.

Just because this boss would never make such a bold statement, he was also considered half a man of letters, usually even if he wanted to blow his own stuff, at most it was something like “rare masterpiece”, now this attitude, it was too rare.

“Since the boss has opened his mouth, let’s take a look!”

“We still trust the boss’s taste ……”

Talking books, can be said to be one of the most popular entertainment activities within Ying Devil Island, second only to hookahs.

But most people’s devils weren’t that rich, and it was impossible for the hookah to go there often.

So the most prevalent one is still the talking book.

Today it was early in the morning and there were many customers in the store.

Having gotten a recommendation from the owner, many people looked directly at the store.

“I go, this story is really quite new, I’ve never read it before!”

“It’s a bit interesting ah ……”

“Watching my blood boil, boss, what about the second volume?”

Soon, bursts of murmurs rang out, one after another, and a pair of eyes looked like they had been set ablaze, their eyes blazing brightly.

“The second volume hasn’t come out yet! But you guys can pre-order it first!”

“I’ll reserve a copy first!”

“Me too!”

“Save me one too!”

“……”

The scene was incomparably hot, and the news spread out, and those Devils in the city who usually loved talking books converged.

Naming their names, they wanted to watch the Fighting Fire Vault.

The boss was so excited that he hurriedly found the people from the workshop, “Extra printing, extra printing for me!”

The workshop man asked, “How much to print?”

“One million copies!” The boss thought about it, clenched his teeth, and made this decision.

“One million?” Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded, never seen such a printing, not afraid of losing money?

“Yes, it’s one million!” The boss firmly said, he believed in his own vision, this “Fighting Fire Vault” was bound to become a hit, an unprecedented hit.

As expected.

As the news spread more and more widely, ‘Fighting Fire Vault’ killed madness, no one knew about it, and it became the talk of the town after everyone’s tea.

Countless people had their hearts set on anticipating the second volume.

……

Somewhere in a high-class liquor store, in an elegant room.

A volume of Fighting Fire Vault was placed on the table, and four or five Demons surrounded it, their faces unsightly.

“All of you should have read this book, right?” An old devil with greenish skin, goat horns on his head, and a goat beard opened his mouth, his voice grim.

“Can one not have read it? It’s simply killing madness!” Another short-built Demon Race said grimly.

“I really don’t see what’s so good about this book that it can make so many people like it, the readers nowadays, they really don’t have any appreciation at all, liking something so superficial ……”

“……”

A few people spoke to each other, their words filled with rejection of this book, or rather – cynicism!
They were all well known authors in this town, having written many talking books.

Enjoying a reputation at the time, they had countless fans.

But until this book came out, their works suddenly went unnoticed, no one wanted them even when they were thrown on the side of the road, the gap was huge.

“Regardless of how we look at it, the fact of the matter now is that if we continue to let this book exist, our brothers and sisters, we won’t even have a meal to eat!” The goat-bearded old devil said sorrowfully.

“What does Brother Goat mean?”

“This book has only come out in one volume nowadays, there will definitely be a second and third volume next, no matter what we have to know first, who our opponent is isn’t it?”

Upon hearing this, the demons looked at each other, the temperature between the field plummeted, and a murderous aura filled the air.
