Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager

Chapter 523: Chapter 275: Knowing How to Set Up Challenges to Stop the Adventure Team_2

"Now it’s time for you to shine, Treasure Chest Monster!"

Shami shouted loudly in the Demon King Castle.

Soon, the Treasure Chest Monster staggered down the stairs.

"I’m here, I’m here! Is it finally my turn to make an appearance? Master Shami, what are your orders?"

Ever since arriving at the Demon Realm, the Treasure Chest Monster had been huddled in a corner of the Demon King Castle, covered in dust.

Shami thought for a moment and looked towards the hall to sense the main crystal.

The village team and refugee team could be handled by the Bone Frame, but the adventure team couldn’t be dealt with hastily.

"I plan to set up a checkpoint; Treasure Chest Monster, you will be the final treasure of the checkpoint."

Shami seriously considered the words of the Magical Girl.

That’s right; it’s time to set obstacles to prevent the adventure team from discovering the Demon Realm.

"Me? This is simply an honor beyond measure!"

The Treasure Chest Monster was so excited that it shook off all the dust.

Shami checked the information on the Treasure Chest Monster.

[The Treasure Chest Monster is large in size, mature in personality, and good at contemplation, therefore possessing greater allure than ordinary treasure chests, capable of naturally attracting more adventure teams.]

"How can you tell such things?"

Shami frowned.

[The items inside the Treasure Chest Monster can attract different types of adventure teams to explore.]

"The things inside the Treasure Chest Monster can affect which adventure teams show up. With the Treasure Chest Monster and the treasures inside, it can draw in the maximum attraction of the adventure teams."

Shami ordered the Treasure Chest Monster to open the chest.

The Treasure Chest Monster obediently opened the chest, and Shami noticed it was half-filled and curiously looked at the Treasure Chest Monster.

"Sorry, Master Shami, I know who put them in, but as a qualified Treasure Chest Monster, I need to keep the owners of these items a secret!"

"But there are just a few people who can put things in here."

Shami glanced around at the four girls beside him.

The white-haired girl quickly stepped forward, carefully taking out a few large bags of dried corn, rice, and peanuts.

"After all, as the villain, we have to consider the day we run out of food, right...?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"There’s more."

The Magical Girl also slowly walked over and took out a large bag of magic crystal powder.

"I almost forgot I put a few magical items inside too."

"This is no longer a magical item but magic crystal residue! Such magically polluted waste should be thrown into the Mermaid Lake! If left in the Demon King Castle, it might even radiate us!"

The Magical Girl turned her head silently.

"Oh..."

"There are a few more bags."

Shami looked at the purple-haired girl and the blonde girl beside him.

The purple-haired girl shook her head.

Shami gazed at the flat-chested blonde.

"Lureya, I’ve seen you use bags like this."

"Oh oh oh... So that’s how it is..."

The Elf Maiden awkwardly walked over, quickly taking out a few black bags inside.

Only then was the Treasure Chest Monster’s body empty.

"Oh my, is it something so shameful that you dare not admit it?"

Shami asked, looking at the Elf Maiden.

"No, no... it’s just some everyday things..."

"So what is it?"

"It, it’s garbage..."

"Did you directly treat the Treasure Chest Monster as a trash can? Don’t treat the Treasure Chest Monster as your personal item box, stuffing everything inside! If it breaks the Treasure Chest Monster’s attributes, repairing it would be a hassle!"

Shami warned the girls beside him.

Outside the Demon Realm.

With the idea of setting up checkpoints, the rest was to put it into action.

Shami and the four girls came outside the Demon Realm and saw this adventure team gradually approaching the Demon Realm.

This was an adventure team from the Fess Kingdom, consisting of three men, one woman, and a rabbit beastman.

Judging from the team’s outfit, it was an established team, possessing calmness and composure that new adventure teams couldn’t have.

Shami noticed their adventure team badge.

Gold.

An adventure team of the gold level.

"Is this the right direction?"

A short-haired guy with a sword looked at the long-haired girl in the middle of the team.

The girl holding a magic wand took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yes, it’s this direction. Since the day before yesterday, I’ve been hearing a voice calling me over."

In the treetops, the Magical Girl explained to everyone.

"This is the mage’s abnormal perception ability. After the Demon Realm appeared, the mages are the first profession to sense abnormalities in the land. Many mages can unintentionally detect the existence of the Demon Realm."

"It seems this team is heading towards the Demon Realm."

The girls looked at Shami.

"Shall we intercept them?"

"It’s quite a grand gesture to have the four major Demon Envoys of the demon race step out for just one adventure team."

Shami shook his head.

If the four Demon Envoys moved out together, what would be the outcome for this adventure team?

Ending one: HD. They eventually escaped.

That would show that the power of the four major Demon Envoys was limited, reducing the intimidation of the demon race.

Ending two: ED. All were killed.

But Shami didn’t want to do such a ruthless thing. This adventure team had not yet offended him.

Neither outcome was pleasant.

"Let’s compromise and capture them for me to do human magic experiments."

"Saili, are you a demon?"

Seeing the three girls’ faces turn pale, the Magical Girl coughed.

"Just kidding."

"Everyone, sit tight. I’ve already set up the checkpoint. Only the final stage remains, placing the gift inside the Treasure Chest Monster."

Shami threw some gold into the Treasure Chest Monster.

"Wait, Shami, isn’t this a bit too normal? There’s no way to attract anyone like this."

The Elf Maiden stopped Shami.

"I think it’s quite good. Look at Elze, her eyes are sparkling."

Shami pointed to the Dragon Race Maiden, who was staring intensely at the Treasure Chest Monster.

"Because dragons naturally like gold things. Since it’s the first time designing a checkpoint, we have to put the most important things of the demon race here; otherwise, it would be embarrassing if it couldn’t attract the adventure team. Anyway, we’re here to ensure the items aren’t taken."

The Elf Maiden explained while observing the adventure team not far away.

"Makes sense."

Shami nodded.

"Lina, stuff Lureya inside the Treasure Chest Monster."

"Yes!"

"Eh eh eh?! The most important thing of the demon race is actually me? I have claustrophobia!"

The Elf Maiden was unexpectedly flattered, and the next moment she was stuffed inside the Treasure Chest Monster.

"Of course, you flat blonde, you’re a family treasure! If the demon race ever struggles financially, we’ll still rely on you to make money."

Shami patted the Treasure Chest Monster; the voice of the flat blonde inside was inaudible, but it was probably a string of curse words.

Placing the Treasure Chest Monster at the predetermined location, the first checkpoint set by the demon race for the adventure team officially launched.

Shami and the three Demon Envoys silently kept a distance from the adventure team, observing the situation.

In the forest.

The adventure team walking along stopped.

The girl in the middle of the team slightly furrowed her brows.

"What’s wrong, Luo Luo?"

"I think I sense a cry for help. It sounds like a girl’s voice. It’s coming from that direction."

"What? A girl? Let’s hurry over!"

The three guys of the adventure team instantly reached a consensus.

The adventure team changed its route, deviating from the direction towards the Demon Realm, heading towards where the Treasure Chest Monster was.

Shami, silently observing this scene, was very satisfied.

As expected, the Treasure Chest Monster, holding the flat blonde, does indeed have the ability to entice adventure teams.

Under the surveillance of the Demon King and Demon Envoys, the [Adventure Team’s Rescue of the Elf Maiden Exploration] began!

[The adventure team arrived at a riverbank.]

The Magical Girl named Luo Luo, who might also be the leader of this adventure team, used the magic array to freeze the river water.

"The call for help is across the river; let’s cross first."

Under Luo Luo’s command, the team slowly stepped onto the frozen river.

At this moment, suddenly, the ice started to crack, and Luo Luo quickly activated her magic wand to refreeze the river underneath.

But a strong fishy smell enveloped the entire team.

Dozens of fishmen jumped out of the river, standing on the ice, surrounding the adventure team.

"Yes, this is the first trial prepared for you by the Demon King—the Fishman’s Trial! To cross the river, you must first get past these ferocious fishmen!"

Shami excitedly looked towards the river.

The long-haired girl furrowed her eyebrows tightly.

"Retreat quickly; I hate fish the most. Not to mention how fish bones could easily get stuck in the throat when eating, the fishy smell of raw fish is also unbearable."

"Don’t give up so easily! It’s just a fishy smell, right? Are current Magical Girls so delicate?"
