Chapter 219: The Evil Overlord, His Sharp Edges Dulled by Reality

The Evil Lizard was very pleased with the Evil Rooster's attitude.

For weak compatriots, subservience was the key to survival.

This was the fundamental principle.

It was the law of survival.

The Evil Lizard was very confident in its own strength. As a level seven evil creature, it couldn't claim to be invincible in the evil creature world, but at least few dared to provoke it.

"Such a delicious smell, I can't resist any longer."

It sniffed the aroma emanating from Lin Fan and Old Zhang, lost in a state of utter captivation.

"Old Zhang, what is this?" Lin Fan asked.

"Hmm, I think I've seen it on the news. It's a lizard, but it's so big. It's a little different from the lizards I've seen. And it has two small bumps on its back. But I still think it's a lizard."

Old Zhang, a keen news watcher, could remember any species he saw.

You couldn't call yourself mentally ill without some talent.

Some mentally ill people were experts in sewers; no matter how dry a sewer was, they could fix it until water flowed. That was a unique gift.

"A lizard, huh? It's just so ugly."

"I also think it's ugly. It has so many lumps on its skin. Does it have hemorrhoids on its skin?"

"Those aren't hemorrhoids, it's a skin disease."

"Oh, I see."

The two of them chatted casually, saying things in front of the Evil Lizard that it couldn't believe. These two delicious humans were on the verge of death and were still insulting it.

Anyone with a little common sense should know what was going on with its body.

The Evil Rooster was impressed by these two foolish humans. Their words were difficult for it to understand. What was wrong with these two humans? Couldn't they speak more sensibly?

Truly strange.

A low growl erupted from the Evil Lizard's throat.

Its giant tail swept out, snapping towards Lin Fan. Its bloody maw was狰狞恐怖 grotesque and terrifying, a single bite capable of crushing Lin Fan's head.

"Lin Fan, I'm scared!" Old Zhang yelled, hiding behind Lin Fan, trembling with fear.

"You can't scare Old Zhang."

Lin Fan wasn't afraid of the Evil Lizard, but seeing Old Zhang frightened, he directly pressed down on the Evil Lizard's upper jaw, slamming it to the ground, just like a once-loved puppy, sticking its butt up, looking at the ground in a daze.

"Old Zhang, don't be afraid, I've subdued it."

"Be good, don't scare people."

Lin Fan soothed the Evil Lizard's emotions. So irritable.

"You're not good-looking at all, so you have to be obedient. Look at my hen, she's so cute and well-behaved."

The Evil Lizard was pinned down and couldn't move.

Furious inside.

Damn it, you're humiliating me. When tolerance is no longer an option, then there's no need to tolerate it. But even if it didn't want to tolerate it, it had to be able to turn things around.

Lin Fan released his hand. "Go play somewhere else, don't make trouble here."

The Evil Rooster knew that the Evil Lizard would definitely continue to act recklessly. After all, with its temperament, having its head pressed down by a human, it shouldn't be able to bear such humiliation.

But…

The Evil Lizard didn't continue its rampage. It looked at Lin Fan obediently and walked silently towards the darkness.

It wasn't stupid. It knew better than anyone whether it could beat the opponent. Continuing to act recklessly would only lead to death.

Walking further away, it looked back and roared.

"You are a traitor to the evil creatures."

Lin Fan smiled. "Old Zhang, did you see that? It knows it was wrong and apologized for its behavior just now."

Old Zhang said, "It's good that it apologized. I'm still willing to forgive it."

On the other hand, the Evil Rooster couldn't stand it.

It wanted to flap its wings to prove itself. I'm not a traitor, I'm an evil hero, what the hell are you talking about?

The Evil Rooster was really heartbroken. It had worked so hard until now, living humbly beside humans as an undercover agent. Who was it all for?

Wasn't it for the future of evil creatures?

But now everyone was saying it was a traitor. Its heart ached, so much that it couldn't breathe.

It wanted to roar to prove its resolve.

But it just thought about it.

Let them doubt. One day, you will understand that everything I do is for the evil creatures. When that time comes, you will cry and kneel before me, saying that we doubted you, wronged you, and begged for forgiveness… Thinking of that scene, the Evil Rooster was full of motivation. Everything was developing in a good direction.

…

The Evil Overlord sat on the throne.

What had just happened had left it breathless.

"How could such a powerful human appear?"

It pondered, unable to understand the reason.

"Overlord, I have news to report to you." The Evil Groundhog emerged from the ground and said humbly.

Such humble evil creatures were rare.

Even the former level two Evil Stray Dog had annihilated four novice members in Yanhai City, achieving remarkable feats. Even though the Evil Groundhog was weak, it was still a bit stronger than the Evil Stray Dog.

But now…

It could only stay here, gathering information, gossiping. What a useless waste.

"Speak."

The Evil Overlord was very irritable, its mood extremely foul.

The Evil Groundhog said, "I just received news that the Evil Lizard was driven away. The Evil Rooster that follows the humans is a traitor among the evil creatures. It led the humans here."

"And I also heard that the Overlord was just beaten up by those two humans."

"Overlord, were you really beaten, or were you pretending to be beaten?"

The Evil Groundhog asked expectantly.

The fire of gossip burned brightly.

It's just that its head didn't seem to be working very well.

"Come here." The Evil Overlord sat there, beckoning expressionlessly.

The Evil Groundhog said, "Overlord, I can hear you. Just tell me directly. If it's fake, I'll tell everyone. If it's true, I'll bury it in my heart and promise not to tell anyone."

"Come here."

The Evil Overlord said calmly.

Its expressionless face betrayed no emotional fluctuations.

The Evil Groundhog was quite puzzled, but it still slowly came to the Overlord. Perhaps the Overlord wanted to tell it the biggest secret, a secret that only it was qualified to know.

Excited.

Thrilled.

And a touch of calmness.

"Overlord, do you have any secrets to tell me?" The Evil Groundhog asked humbly.

Slap!

Killing intent flashed in the Evil Overlord's eyes as it grabbed the Evil Groundhog in its hand. "You know too much."

Under the Evil Groundhog's horrified gaze…

Bang!

It crushed the Evil Groundhog.

To it, these humble evil creatures were mere ants.

"Damn thing, how dare you spread such shameful things! Unforgivable."

The Evil Overlord was furious.

But it hadn't said much.

"A traitor among the evil creatures? Is it that lowly Evil Rooster?"

It thought about what the Evil Groundhog had said. It hadn't taken that lowly creature seriously before, but now it seemed that everything had been premeditated.

A disgrace to evil creatures.

Tap, tap!

Just as it was fuming…

Footsteps approached.

"Found it."

It was Lin Fan's voice, sounding rather cheerful. They had arrived at a strange place, finding the environment harsh and somewhat frightening. Now that they had finally found the culprit, how could they not be happy?

The Evil Overlord was startled. How could they have arrived so quickly?

Hadn't those evil creatures stopped them?

Its guess was correct. Those evil creatures hadn't stopped them. They were all cowering in the darkness, wary of the Evil Rooster's presence.

The Evil Overlord panicked slightly.

But it still pretended to be calm, sitting on the throne.

"Why did you sneak attack me? And after sneaking up on me, why did you run away? Do you know how outrageous your behavior is? Our fight was supposed to be a fair competition, emphasizing sportsmanship and restraint."

Lin Fan looked at the other party and asked without a smile.

He would show a pure smile to anyone.

But now, facing this guy who had lost his martial spirit, he was angry and didn't want to give him any friendly expression.

The Evil Overlord didn't say a word, seemingly calm, but actually very panicked.

They came so fast.

According to its estimation, if there were evil creatures obstructing them, it would definitely delay them for a long time. But unexpectedly, it had just rested for a bit when the other party caught up. Suddenly, it felt immense pressure and discomfort.

"How can you be so impolite? I'm asking you a question." Lin Fan said.

The Evil Overlord looked at Lin Fan, touching the stone armrest of the throne, its voice low and hoarse. "Human, I admit you are strong. I'm willing to call you the strongest. But you are going too far now."

"Do you think I was at my strongest state on the surface?"

"I think you're wrong, very wrong. I don't want to kill you. Disappear from my sight now, and I can spare your life."

The Evil Overlord was mighty and domineering.

A faint aura of dominance swept out, making the surrounding atmosphere slightly oppressive. The evil creatures hiding in the darkness trembled. It was the Overlord's aura. As lowly beings, they could only hide in the shadows and survive.

The Evil Overlord stood up, standing on the steps. Darkness covered its body, its face blurry and indistinct. Coupled with its current tone and demeanor, it did give people the feeling of facing the most terrifying boss.

The Evil Rooster was stunned by the other party's momentum.

It felt like the other party wasn't lying, as if everything it said was true.

The Evil Rooster wanted to tell Lin Fan:

Let's go.

It really didn't use its full strength on the surface. In this dark environment, it could definitely display greater strength.

"Lin Fan, what should we do?" Old Zhang asked.

"Leave everything to me. Don't worry."

Lin Fan ignored the Evil Overlord's words and said seriously, "I'm telling you very seriously now, you must apologize for your actions. If you apologize, I'm willing to forgive you."

"Although you give me a very evil feeling, I can feel the yearning for love in your heart."

He walked up the steps step by step.

The Evil Overlord's heart beat rapidly.

Not good.

It hadn't intimidated the other party. Judging by the situation, it was going to have a face-to-face conversation with him. It racked its brains, thinking about what it could do to deal with the other party.

Until Lin Fan reached it.

It clenched its fists, unwilling flames of anger burning in its heart, its eyes flashing with ferocity. What audacity…

But reality had dulled the Evil Overlord's sharp edges.

It slowly unclenched its fists.

Lowered its head!

Bent its waist!

"I'm sorry!"

"I was wrong!"
