Chapter 344: Demon Pirates

The vast mountains stretch for ten thousand miles.

The lush jungle sees no end.

When the roar of the sea waves crashing against the shore behind them grew fainter, the two entered a lush, primeval forest that blotted out the sky.

"Drip, drop..."

It seemed to have just rained; on the verdant, dripping leaves, crystal-clear raindrops slid down like beautiful pearls, playing a faint and fresh melody in the silent, deep jungle.

The white figure suddenly stopped and looked back.

On the distant sea surface, where there had been nothing but swirling mist when they arrived, a huge black island had now eerily appeared, as if coiled into shape by a giant snake, staring at her coldly and silently.

"This is Phantom Island; only the demons of our Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons can see it."

The black figure also stopped and looked behind.

A deep and cold light appeared in her scarlet eyes: "That is to say, you have already been accepted by it; you belong here."

"Every demon here has their own clan. You are a member of the Snake Clan, so the island you see is manifested from the shadow of a snake."

The white figure withdrew her gaze and repeated the words with a calm expression: "I am not a demon; I am a human."

The black figure continued walking forward, her voice cold: "Your physical body is indeed human, but it does not matter; once you and I merge, you will be a true demon."

The white figure did not speak again, cast one more glance at the distant sea, and followed behind her.

Passing through this jungle, a river suddenly appeared ahead.

On the opposite bank of the river, miasma permeated and the trees began to twist; then, in the forest that had been full of trees and shrubs, a group of tree-man soldiers covered in green armor and roots suddenly appeared.

The leading tree-man glanced at the two and led the team downstream along the river.

On the wide river surface, the mist twisted, and an ancient, moss-covered wooden bridge suddenly appeared, spanning the two banks of the river.

The black figure led the white figure onto the wooden bridge and arrived at the opposite bank.

Heading west all the way, the vegetation grew deeper.

The terrain began to slope steeply downward, and as the two walked out of this forest, a deep canyon suddenly appeared ahead.

The two entered the canyon and followed the stream forward.

At this moment, several black shadows suddenly appeared ahead; gradually, those shadows began to grow larger and clearer.

They were actually five Black Wolf Demons with wolf heads and human bodies.

The Black Wolf Demons were two and a half meters tall, their muscles bulging all over, with huge wolf heads, a pair of sharp claws, and scarlet eyes, looking exceptionally fierce.

"Eh, there is actually the scent of a human?"

The leading Black Wolf Demon, carrying a mace, immediately stopped and stared suspiciously at the two figures, one black and one white, before him.

The other four Black Wolf Demons also immediately drew their weapons.

The black figure spoke: "This is a physical body I brought back from the human nation, raised by my split soul through reincarnation; I will soon merge with her."

The leading Black Wolf Demon sneered: "Your Snake Clan's cultivation methods are truly strange; we do not know if it is true or false, so we need to check."

The black figure said: "Phantom Island has already verified it."

The Black Wolf Demon sneered and said: "Who knows if you smuggled her in from somewhere else? We have no way to go to the border to confirm it now; the simplest way is to check on the spot."

The expression on the black figure's face did not change at all: "How to check?"

"Very simple."

The Black Wolf Demon placed the mace on his shoulder onto the ground and said: "Let her take off her clothes; we want to see if she is truly a human, and then take a few drops of your essence blood to see if you are merging."

Another Black Wolf Demon behind him grinned and said: "Big Brother, I have never seen a human body before; I would like to see one today to see if they have more parts than us."

Another Black Wolf Demon laughed: "I heard that the bodies of human women are tender and fragrant, and even their bones are soft; I don't know if it's true or false, I'll have to take a sniff later."

The black figure was silent for a moment, turned her head, and looked behind her: "Are you willing to let them check?"

The white figure was calm: "Didn't you just say that this is your physical body?"

A rare trace of a smile appeared on the black figure's face: "Indeed, this is a physical body shared by you and me."

She looked at the opposite side and said: "Sorry, I am not willing."

The leading Black Wolf Demon's face sank, he bared the fangs at the corners of his mouth, gripped the mace in his hand, and said in a rough voice: "As a member of the Demon Clan, you should know the consequences of refusing an inspection by the border Black Wolf Guard!"

A faint trace of mockery appeared in the black figure's scarlet eyes: "Don't say you are just the lowest Black Wolf of the Wolf Clan; even the Fire Wolf of the royal family would not dare to bare their fangs in front of this venerable one."

Once these words were spoken, the Black Wolf Demon's expression changed instantly, his gaze filled with shock and suspicion: "You are..."
