Chapter 450: Terrifying Skeleton

“Human,” Beelzebub Zofee said seriously. “You have a share of the war spoils. Next time you come to Hell, I’ll have it prepared.”

“Bye.” Chen Zhao’s body disappeared gradually.

As soon as Chen Zhao got home, Fali came downstairs.

“Fali, how did you know I’m back?”

“I had the housekeeper remind me.”

Chen Zhao caught Fali who hopped over. “Did you miss me?”

Fali didn’t speak. She just kissed him deeply. “What did you bring back this time?”

Chen Zhao pulled Fali out of the house to the backyard.

“Is it really big? We even have to go outside?”

“Very big.”

Chen Zhao opened his hand and released Eugenice. Fali was surprised as she watched Eugenice move his body slowly.

“A tree-man?”

“Pretty much.” Chen Zhao nodded. “His name is Eugenice, also known as a Forest Shepherd.”

“What does that mean?”

“He’ll help us take care of the surrounding plants. In the future, if we need to plant something or make something grow faster, he can help us.”

“Can I… Can I touch him?”

“Of course.”

Fali touched Eugenice’s thick skin. It didn’t feel any different from regular tree bark.

“Master, what do I need to do now?” Eugenice asked.

“The surrounding soil isn’t very good. Do you have any solutions?”

“I can get rid of the material in the soil that is bad for plants,” Eugenice said. “But the soil is too poor. I can’t make it fertile.”

Chen Zhao suddenly thought of something. He took out an angelic crystal. “Is this useful toward you or the plants?”

“Angelic crystal!” Eugenice suddenly grew excited.

He wasn’t a demon, so he didn’t fear angelic crystals. The crystal could help promote plant growth, so it naturally was effective on him too.

“Master, can you give that to me?”

Chen Zhao had taken the angelic crystal out just to give Eugenice.

“Take it.”

“Great master, thank you for your benevolence. You are even greater than Samuel. I will make all the surrounding plants grow.”

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. This guy was such a sweet talker. He said whatever the other wanted to hear. Would he dare to say that if Samuel was here?

“Is one angelic crystal enough to change the surrounding soil?”

“Not enough.”

“How many do you need?”

“Five… No, three is enough.”

“I’ll give you five. If the surrounding trees can’t grow well enough, I’ll burn you into cinders.”

“Of course. Thank you once again for your kindness.”

…

When Chen Zhao and Fali woke up the next day, they discovered that the trees in the backyard were already thriving. However, Eugenice was extremely eye-catching in the middle.

He was too tall, at least twice as tall as the house.

Fali had the inferior demons go water Eugenice, but he didn’t really need water. Plus, they were close to a lake. They could lack everything but not water.

After Fali went to work, Chen Zhao started arranging the stone demons.

“Blackie, these two one-eyed giants are for you.”

“Chen Zhao, did you learn how to make the stone demons?”

“I know the general method. But do you know how to sculpt?”

“No…” Blackie paused. “I’ll go learn how.”

“And you need Hellfire.”

After thinking, Blackie said, “Actually, you don’t need Hellfire all the time. You can ignite it when you need it.”

“It’s best if you wait until I go to Hell.”

Chen Zhao and Blackie didn’t have that much money. Lighting Hellfire was quite expensive. Plus, they didn’t have the kindling. If they wanted Hellfire, they would have to visit Hell.

If they only went to Hell for the kindling, it would be very unrealistic.

It was best to wait until the demons in Hell summoned Chen Zhao and then get some kindling along the way.

…

“Sienna, I got the skeleton you wanted last time. Come get it.”

Sienna, Chris, and Shirley arrived in less than half an hour. As soon as they arrived, they started raiding his fridge.

The three had come just to get a free meal, so they started preparing lunch immediately.

“Where’s the skeleton you mentioned?”

Chen Zhao went downstairs and tossed an armful of bones to Sienna.

Sienna took the bones and observed them. “What’s with these bones? It looks like it’s been dead for a long time and most of the magic had scattered. If I use it to make potions, it won’t be very effective.”

“Wait a bit longer.”

Chen Zhao went to the basement again and carried up two bloody bones. Sienna was shocked. She looked at the two bones, not daring to go forward.

“It’s not a human’s,” Chen Zhao explained hurriedly, afraid that Sienna would misunderstand.

“I obviously know it’s not a human’s…” Sienna glanced at him. “What kind of creature is it? The magic is terrifying. I can feel my magic resonating with it.”

“Can you use it?”

“No sh*t. I’ve never seen such terrifying magic ripples. Did you go hunt it specially? It’s probably stronger than Evangeline, right?”

Evangeline was nothing compared to Logan.

Logan was a demon lord. Before him, Evangeline was at most just a small figure. Even Logan’s subordinates were stronger than Evangeline.

“I didn’t imagine that there would be such strong magical creatures in this world,” Sienna lamented. “In the recent century, there are fewer and fewer magical creatures in the natural world. It’s getting more difficult to make potions… Chen, you didn’t kill this creature just for the magic potion, right?”

“No, it was an accident. I almost died in its hands.”

“It could even put you in danger?” Sienna asked, amazed.

“It was unprecedented danger. In terms of power, I’m much weaker than him.”

Sienna couldn’t imagine how strong the owner of these two bones had been. Chen Zhao didn’t know how she would feel if she knew that these bones belonged to a demon lord of Hell.

“When will I get the potion?”

“I need to collect some ingredients.”

“Give me an estimate.”

“Around two weeks.”

“Chen, look! I caught a fish.” Shirley was in a swimsuit and excitedly swung a catfish around.

The catfish was at least 30 or 40 kilograms. It definitely wasn’t weaker than an adult human in the water, but Shirley grabbed it easily.

Shirley could only play freely at Chen Zhao’s place. Plus, there were many things to play with here.

There was also a group of pets. Instead of being scared, they would have fun with her. After all, regular cats and dogs would all get terrified and escape when they saw Shirley.
