Chapter 992: 992
Black Fire Stone was a bit uneasy .
It was said that only the demons whose hearts were pure and loyal to their ancestors would see the Pantheon of Demons in the clouds .
Black Fire Stone thought that he deserved better—he had always been loyal to his ancestors .
Although he was not very clear who his ancestors, namely Pangu, Gonggong, Kuafu, Houyi, among others, were and what they did exactly, was he not the one who paid the most 'ancestral tax' every month? Also, he had been obedient and never violated any of the ancestral rules that the lords had told him .
This is all that silly woman's fault!
Black Fire Stone cursed in his heart . Because of anxiety, his eyes were packed with blood streaks quickly .
Noticing that he was the only one in the entire Brute Hammer Troop who could not see it, Black Fire Stone felt that his eyes were red and swollen and that the world was swirling before him . In his fury and apprehension, he seemed to see a colorful glow in the middle of the clouds .
"I see it! I see it now!"
Black Fire Stone did not know what the 'glorious Pantheon of Demons' looked like, but he was weeping in excitement .
"That is the Pantheon of Demons, our destination in the sea of stars!"
The gold-horned lord was waving his hammer while he roared, "Let's go, warriors! Show the cunning, cowardly human beings the awesomeness of the blood descendants of Pangu!"
At the front, countless crimson fireflies were leading the way . The Black-Horned Loading Bulls, the Shooting Star Iron Bulls, and the Iron-Tailed Brute Bulls… all the bulls seemed to be exuding flames . The demonic energy spurting out of their nostrils condensed into rolling red clouds in midair!
Together, they launched a messy, disordered charge toward the sentry posts of the human beings .
Black Fire Stone's head had been burned by the nervous stimulant . Lust for killing was quickly replacing his calmness . It was even more difficult for him to picture what the 'glorious Pantheon of Demons' looked like right now .
According to the lords, as long as he fought valiantly, he would be able to ascend into the glorious Pantheon of Demons, and he would never have to worry about how to till his barren farmland that was rife with Venomous Thorny Grass and Double Tailed Scorpions . There was endless ambrosia in the Pantheon of Demons . He would need to farm no more, mine no more, and just enjoy his life every day!
Black Fire Stone had no idea what 'ambrosia' was . He only guessed that it must be something very delicious .
But Black Fire Stone did not even know what 'something very delicious' actually tasted like . Since he was born, everything Black Fire Stone ate could barely keep him fed . His food had never been anything remotely close to delicious .
For some reason, in the last moment of his consciousness, a shining, greasy grilled chicken suddenly jumped out .
It was a picture of a human village that he had seen in his illusions .
It was a big, big, big village—so big that Black Fire Stone did not even know how to describe it . He had forgotten all the other details about the village, except for the greasy grilled chicken that was being roasted carefully and appeared succulent with oil dropping down nonstop . The picture had been etched to his brain, and he even remembered the burning sound when the grilled chicken oil dropped to the firewood vividly .
At every tough night in the military camp, after missing his wife and his two children, Black Fire Stone had been pondering one question . How did the grilled chicken taste exactly?
Was it as fresh as 'Bitter Grass Bug' or as crisp as 'Red Fern Root'?
Of course, Black Fire Stone had seen chicken and captured chicken before, but he had never had the privilege to eat one because they were too precious .
Moreover, the lords did not allow them to . The lords declared that bulls were born to eat grass . At the very least, black-blood bulls should eat grass . They could get a few bugs to fill their stomachs but nothing more . It was an ancestral rule .
If he ate meat and violated the ancestral rule, he would not be able to go to the Pantheon of Demons after he died . Not just him, his wife and his children would be forbidden, too .
I wonder, is there grilled chicken in the 'glorious Pantheon of Demons'? The ancestors will allow me to feast upon meat there, won't they?
Black Fire Stone thought a lot of things as he rushed forward .
The black-blood soldiers did not carry weapons or armor . Their mission was to charge at all the sentry posts, bastions, and fortresses after they were teleported to the Heaven's Origin Sector and clear the obstacles for the following troops of the coalition army . Or rather, they were asked to stuff the firing posts with their body .
Black Fire Stone was running fast . His burning head made him feel as if his blood was boiling . He seemed to have grown wings, and his soul gradually left his ugly, clumsy shell .
Thinking about the greasy grilled chicken, he was more and more energetic . Like a roaring gust, he quickly surpassed all of his companions, including One Ear, and charged at a human sentry post that was protected by more than ten crystal cannons .
A confused smile popped up on Black Fire Stone's face, but he shook his tail toward One Ear in retaliation for his friend's mockery a moment ago .
That was just One Ear, whose limbs were so soft that the guy could never outrun him . What a great waste of the muscles! No wonder his wife chose to marry him instead of One Ear, whose horn was thicker and bigger .
If I really make my way to the Pantheon of Demons in the sky and meet grilled chicken, I will certainly save half for my wife and kids!
Black Fire Stone frowned . With the few active braincells he had left, he pondered carefully how he could smuggle a grilled chicken out of the Pantheon of Demons .
He had never stolen anything in his life before!
One of the crystal cannons in the human sentry post in front of him shot out streams of dazzling, colorful brilliance, exactly the same as the 'glorious Pantheon of Demons' he had seen in the clouds a moment ago .
