The man’s face rapidly paled.
His reaction was almost equivalent to attesting the red skirted banshee’s guess.
Every monster present was extremely excited, like a pack of wolves who had been hungry for a long time and finally smelled the scent of fresh meat, and rushed towards the humans dressed as servants.
Ji Dong was surrounded by a group of exhilarated demons, if he showed no interest, it would be no different from instant self-destruction.
So Ji Xiao’niao had no choice but to take two steps back, pretending that he couldn’t compete with the other fierce demons and could only be a soy sauce party to fish in troubled waters outside.
At this time, the female participant who had mistakenly eaten the rice krispies had completely lost her human appearance.
Her body had turned into a tree.
The maid’s spine transformed into a gnarled dark brown trunk, the limb segments elongated, extended, and bent into twisted branches. The head was integrated into the main trunk, turning into a rather conspicuous tree?, which would soon be covered up under several layers of greenery sprouting from the branches.
If he was to observe carefully, Ji Dong could see that the tree still vaguely retained its original human form, but had he not watched the whole process of the woman’s transformation, he would not have thought that a living human being was transformed into such a lush peach tree in less than two minutes.
At the same time, the manservant had also been completely surrounded by demons.
As a “participant” who had just been promoted from F-level difficulty to B-level, he had never imagined that he would encounter such a terrible situation when the pointer on the progress bar was still in the white state.
He and his wife—the maid who had turned into a peach tree—were both members of “Compass”.
They had entered the [Film] together with several other companions, and both of them were coincidentally arranged to be servants in the courtyard, and soon found each other, which indicated a fairly good start.
Unfortunately, although he and his wife had seen the trailer, they failed to pay attention to the slight detail of ‘Never to consume food in the [Film]’.
Just now, when they encountered the event of distributing rice krispies, they also went over to receive some, in order to conceal their special identities.
——It’s just, it’s just a matter of one single thing!
The man thought desperately as he struggled.
——She simply ate one!
However, it was too late to say anything. Everything had already gone beyond repair!
His wife had turned into a tree, and he was now surrounded by horrendous demons ….

“Wo-hoo!”
The demons were aroused, exclaiming with great excitement.
“I can smell it!”
“I can smell it too! It’s the scent of a human!!!”
“It is indeed a human’s!”
“He’s really human!!!”
Although Ji Dong does not know what the so-called ‘human smell’ was like, it was clear that for the demons in front of them, just like a Mars that fell into boiling oil and with a ‘bang’, exploded into a blazing, untameable flame.
Even the littlest of demons like the puny duck demon, with red eyes, stretched out its arms and tried its best to squeeze into the monster pile.
All the demons who participated in the competition were huddled disorderly and their clothes were untidy. In order to win some demons even went so far as to fight each other.
The manservant at the center of the scramble seized this opportunity and suddenly broke away from the crowd.
His ability was to greatly strengthen the muscles of his legs in a short period of time, and to use much more strength and speed than ordinary people.
The manservant’s legs suddenly swelled and thickened more than doubled in size. With the left foot as support, his right foot made a 360-degree sweep, kicking over several demons surrounding him, and then moving towards a direction where there were no demons, like a cannonball ejected.
The monsters had probably never met a human who could fight back against them. Caught off guard, they started to collapse left and right.
Ji Dong was just at the edge of the male servant’s breakthrough direction. Naturally, he was bumped and staggered by his sudden force. He staggered back three steps and almost fell on his buttocks directly.
When he stabilized himself and turned back, the manservant had already rushed out nearly a hundred meters away and was about to escape from the garden.
However, in the next moment, a strong tree root suddenly protruded from the soil and lay across his feet.
The man was unprepared and tripped, and because he was too fast, he couldn’t stop under the effect of inertia, he flew out diagonally and rolled several times, finally lying on the edge of the fish pond on all fours.
At the same time, his psychic power was also exhausted.
“Ahhhhh!”
The man let out a desperate scream and was soon surrounded by several guards who had just arrived and who held him down firmly on the ground.
“Sister Hong, thank you.”
The leader of the guards grabbed the man’s back collar like a chicken and lifted him up, thanking the red-skirted banshee who had just handed out rice krispies to the crowd from afar.
“No problem.”
The red-skirted banshee leaned under the newly “grown” peach blossom tree, smiling sweetly, and pointed at the tree, “This tree is enough for me…I will give that one to you.”
Of course, the head of the guard was willing to accept the love of the red skirt banshee. He laughed and asked his men to tie the human up. Then he waved his hand and shouted to the little demons, “Boys, let’s add a decoration to the main hall before the banquet starts. How about it?”
When the demons heard this, they immediately burst into a mountain of cheers.
This seemed to be their favorite play.
“Go go go!”
The duck demon seized Ji Dong’s arm and its eyes shone brightly. It was so excited that it nearly jumped out of its own skin.
The useless little duck demon from earlier that had about a negative five combat rating was also trying to squeeze into the demon squad but there was no doubt that it could not even touch a shred of the human’s clothing, and was shoved to the side by other demons that were much tougher than it.
Right now, his hair bun was loose, his clothes were messy, and a large piece of skin was scratched on the back of his hands, giving it a wretched look.
But when he heard that there was an exciting show to see, he was so thrilled that he could not help himself, and dragged his little friend along with the other demons and followed them behind the courtyard, and went towards the main hall where the banquet will be held.
Ji Dong was grabbed by the duck demon’s hand, surrounded by dozens of demons, his heart was pounding and he nervously clutched at a small thing tucked in his belt.
He heard the manservant being dragged by the guards as he screamed at the top of his lungs, yells interspersed with harsh cries for help.
Yet Ji Dong knew he could do nothing to help the participant now.
He couldn’t do anything unusual in front of dozens of demons, or the effect would be a buy one get one free deal, giving these demons an extra spoil of war for nothing.
A group of guards led the manservant through the side courtyard, around the corridor, and into the main hall.
This stretch of road wasn’t particularly lengthy, but with such a huge crowd pushing through, it became very lively and attracted even more demons towards them. The mob steadily grew in size, almost as long as a train. There were more or less a hundred demons in total.
Ji Dong overheard the demons who had joined the gathering midway asking where the humans came from, how they got mixed in, and how they were discovered. They were all fascinated and envious, looking as though they couldn’t wait to capture and devour one themselves.
Ji Xiao’niao noticed however, that for every demon who had just joined, none of them inquired about the identity of the male servant—the moment these demons came together, they already knew that it was a human being who was caught, and they all rejoiced and said the same thing, “The smell is so delicious!”
——My guess was right!
Ji Dong was now 90% sure of his guess.
Just then, the guard dragged the manservant to the main hall, followed by a large group of people.
The leader of the guards threw the man who was tied like a rice dumpling on the ground and looked around, asking with a smile,
“Children, what do you think we are missing?”
There was a lot of laughter and commotion, and the demons were shouting together with all sorts of strange answers.
The head guard listened for a while, waved his hand, and let the demons quiet down.
“Since this place feels somewhat empty…”
He pointed to a corner of the main hall, where there was a three-tiered antique shelf, with some small trinkets such as potted plants and porcelain vases, and a coffee table beside it.
“Then let us add a larger piece of home furnishings here!”
After saying that, he walked towards the manservant who was desperately fighting on the floor like a worm, grabbed the man with one hand, and threw him to the corner he was looking at.
Then the head of the guard pulled out the long knife around his waist and showed a hideous smile to the man.
“Ahhhhhhh! Spare my life! Please spare my life!”
The participant who was dressed up as a manservant saw this stance and trembled in fear like a leaf, barely prostrating himself on the ground, knocking his forehead with a thud and begging for mercy in a flurry of voices.
“Forgive me! I beg you to spare me!”
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something very important, he lifted his head and shouted.
“There are other humans here! I know where they are! I can help you find—”
Unfortunately, before the manservant could finish his words, the steel sword of the head guard fell down and struck the back of his neck with a ‘poof’, like a hot knife on soft tofu, cleanly cutting the man’s head off.
Ji Dong’s heart instantly tightened.
The blood-splattered scene he had expected did not happen.
The man’s head drew a curve mid-air. At the moment of landing, it turned into a foot pedal painted with flowers and gold. Simultaneously, his body, which had lost its head, fell to the ground and hit the floor heavily, unnervingly turning into a reclining chair.
Ji Dong: “!!!”
This scene was several times more shocking than the process of the maid turning into a tree back then. It was simply spine-chilling.
What was even more awful is that he could not help thinking whether the furniture, furnishings, the various objects in the entire house, and even the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard were all actually former human beings?
In the crowd of demonic roars, Ji Dong felt as if he was falling into an ice cave, with a layer of goosebumps rising on his back.
——No, he absolutely couldn’t let the monsters discover his human identity!
——If they were to find out, there’s only one way this ends!
