Why must the devil be Defeated?

In the end, Shane still agreed to accompany Shajina on a visit to the Sand Scale Clan's homeland.

This brought a hint of surprise to Shajina's pretty face that she couldn't help but reveal.

Although Shane's recent slaughter had frightened her a bit, once Shajina realized that the other party was not some unreasonable alien race strongman, she also had some private thoughts.

That was to establish a good relationship with the legendary strongman before her.

If she could establish a friendly relationship with a legendary strongman, it would definitely benefit the Sand Scale Clan.

Even though this legendary strongman was a human, not a member of the Demon Clan, and might not necessarily be able to save the Sand Scale Clan if something really happened, it was always good to have hope.

Immediately, Shajina respectfully welcomed Shane into their camp and led the way back home.

The rest of the Sand Scale Clan, seeing that Shane did not put on airs, also relaxed their tension somewhat, but remained respectful and did not dare to get too close to Shane.

The group set off for the Sand Scale Clan's homeland.

On the way, Shane asked Shajina several questions related to the Demon Realm to understand the situation in the Demon Realm.

Unlike the Human Realm, there were no nations in the Demon Realm, but there were divisions of races.

Just as the Human Race includes humans, beastmen, dwarves, and elves, among others, the Demon Clan has even more diverse races, like a sky full of stars.

Though these races are collectively called the Demon Clan, they are different groups, with some being very large and dominant, while others are small and lowly, suffering constant bullying.

Since the Demon Clan respects the strong, the more powerful the existence, the higher the status, and the more powerful races naturally have more influence.

For example, Alder, who had traveled to the Human Realm to block Shane, intending to transfer the holy power within his body to Shane, was from a terrifying race in the Demon Realm—the Demon Clan.

The Demon Clan was a very powerful race within the Poison Demon Territory, scarce in population, with just under a few hundred people. However, they possessed terrifying combat talents, and every clan member could reach Level 70 and above upon adulthood, which was extremely powerful.

You should know that in the Demon Realm, reaching Level 70 allows one to become an Upper-level Demon Clan, with a very high status.

The Demon Clan's people being Level 70 upon adulthood meant that they could all become Upper-level Demon Clan members, and were naturally revered.

Currently, in the Demon Clan, there were even two Legendary strongmen. One was the old Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, and the other was a cadre under the Poison Demon, namely Alder.

Therefore, the Demon Clan's status in the Demon Realm was very high, feared as a powerful race even in demon territories outside the Poison Demon Territory.

Unfortunately, Alder has been taken by the Poison Demon for a fiery roast; whether he could live or not is up to fate.

Additionally, the cadre under Milu with three heads and six arms, the demon Qibul from the Swallowing Yin Clan, had a race that was also quite outstanding in the Demon Realm.

It is said to be a brutal and bloodthirsty race capable of gaining power through a special Blood Sacrifice Ceremony and continuously improving themselves—the Swallowing Yin Clan.

Initially, Qibul wanted to extract the fresh blood from Shane, the Hero, and absorb the Hero's power through the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony; it must be said, he really had guts.

Of course, his ending was even more tragic. Sent soaring by Milu, who had no sense of control and lacked a sense of morality and also learnt the "Body Explosion Finger Kill" skill from Shane, his head and arm exploded, probably suffering a great loss of vitality for a while.

In a word, the Demon Clan, with its many races, among them those with astonishing racial talents, has created a force that is considered the strongest among the demons, even the Divine Race cannot match.

Out of curiosity, Shane asked Shajina a question,

"So, what is the strongest race in the Demon Realm?"

His question was met with Shajina's instantaneous reply.

"Of course, it's the Dragon Race," Shajina asserted, "Dragons reach Level Eighty and above once they come of age and possess the indomitable Dragon Breath ability. Their Dragon Scales are also incredibly hard with very high defensive power. Moreover, once they undergo Human Transformation, not only does their strength greatly increase, but they also awaken their Unique Skill 100%. With the ability 'Dragonification,' their power can at least triple after use. The Dragon Race is undeniably the strongest race in the Demon Realm."

"Uh..." Shane was at a loss for words.

Well, it seemed their Dragon Demon Lord was indeed impressive.

After all, the Dragon Race was her underling, right?

Wasn't her own mount also a dragon?

She really did have a connection with the Dragon Race.

Shajina was unaware that this legendary human strongman beside her was the future husband of the Dragon Demon; otherwise, she would surely be stupefied, wouldn't she?

And according to Shajina, the Dragon Race, being the strongest in the Demon Realm, resided in the Dragon Demon Territory ruled by the Dragon Demon and commanded various vassal races.

Likewise, races such as the Earth Dragon Clan, Dragon-man Clan, Flying Dragon Clan, and the Salamander Clan, with close kinship to the Dragon Race and partially sharing dragon bloodlines, were all vassals of the Dragon Race.

The Dragon Race and their affiliated groups coexisted in the Dragon Demon Territory. Due to their kinship, they did not fight each other,

Therefore, the Dragon Demon Territory was the most peaceful land in the Demon Realm, incomparable even to the swiftly developing, prosperous Moon Demon Territory that resembled the most human-like territories but still faced frequent strife.

As for the other territories, their respective groups were constantly in a state of conflict.

The demons were very united with each other; however, since the Demon Realm was a world where the strong reigned supreme, the demons did not oppose the survival of the fittest type of jungle competition within the Demon Clan, as it kept the race fierce and strong.

"The Enchanting Demon Territory we're in is quite alright," the Enchanting Demon Lord is a demon who doesn't really like to fight and prefers pleasure, so the competitive atmosphere here isn't that intense."

"The Horned Monster Clan that you destroyed before doesn't have a fixed habitat in the Demon Realm, like locusts and robbers, they like to plunder the wealth of weaker races. We of the Sand Scale Clan were unfortunately targeted by them this time. Otherwise, although the Sand Scale Clan isn't very powerful, by selling and breeding demons, we still had some status in the Chaos Demon Domain, and the nearby races generally wouldn't want to offend us."

"If we were in the Poison Demon Territory or the Ghost Demon Territory, we would have probably been annihilated by now, right?"

Speaking of this, Shajina also smiled bitterly.

According to her, the competitive atmosphere in the Poison Demon Territory and the Ghost Demon Territory was the most intense.

Especially in the Ghost Demon Territory, as the periphery of the Demon Realm, it's also known as the Chaotic Territory, where hundreds of races vie for supremacy, staging survival of the fittest dramas every day. Today you massacre me, tomorrow I merge with you, it can be said to be the territory with the most frequent wars within the Demon Realm.

The Poison Demon Territory, due to its harsh environment and limited resources, also has many races vying and competing fiercely with frequent wars.

Then there's the Beast Demon Territory, where demons are more numerous than Demon Clans, and the tribes often form alliances with each other to jointly fend off the threat posed by demons, which also makes it a dangerous territory.

Compared with these three major territories, the Enchanting Demon Territory isn't as peaceful as the Dragon Demon Territory and the Moon Demon Territory, but the conflicts between the tribes are not as frequent.

This time, the Sand Scale Clan was targeted by the robber-like Horned Monster Clan and had to be dragged into war; it was truly unfortunate.

Shane learned many pieces of intelligence about the Demon Realm from Shajina and was warned by her.

"There are many tribes within the Demon Clan that are not very friendly to the Human Race, considering the Human Race to merely be vassals of the Divine Race and naturally weak, generally looking down on humans."

"Especially recently, it is said that the Hero has been summoned once again, although that Hero is preparing to enter into marriage with the Dragon Demon Lord, there are still many in the Demon Clan who have developed an extreme hostility and wariness towards the Human Race and even the Divine Race."

"I've heard that recently members of the Old Demon Clan Faction have often been visiting the major territories, stirring up the various Races, trying to disrupt the order of the Demon Realm."

"At this critical juncture, your presence in the Demon Realm, my lord, may attract the coveting of many, so I hope you will be careful."

Shajina told Shane all this.

Shane grumbled inwardly.

(Sorry, I'm actually that Hero.)

While he grumbled inwardly, Shane once again realized that the existence of the Hero truly had a greater deterrence and impact on the Demon Clan than he had imagined.

(I'll probably have some fun in the future.)

Shane thought about such things as if it didn't concern him.

At the same time, the tribal land of the Sand Scale Clan was now in sight.

...

Tribal land.

That refers to the base of habitation for a clan.

The Demon Realm is different from the Human Realm; it lacks the concept of a nation and only has territorial borders, and the geographic characteristics of each major territory are distinct, leading to a situation where most of the numerous races within the Demon Clan are essentially land kings.

The Moon Demon Territory and the Enchanting Demon Territory are better off, at least having cities. But it's different with the other four major territories; apart from the distribution by region, there are basically no cities.

Because of this, the ecology of the Demon Clan is somewhat similar to that of the Beastman Race and the Elf Clan, and other species, all marking territories as kings and living like nomadic or tribal communities.

The place where their tribes dwell, that is their tribal land.

The tribal land of the Sand Scale Clan is located near a forest in the Chaos Demon Domain.

It's a place where demons can be bred and captured, which for the Sand Scale Clan, skilled in this area, is a perfectly matching habitat.

In the Demon Realm, there are many tribes whose tribal lands are actually not very suitable for their own survival but have to settle down due to various reasons.

The Sand Scale Clan managed to get such a barely suitable tribal land, which is actually much better than those poor and struggling races.

However...

"...Are there too many beauties in the Sand Scale Clan?"

Shane looked at the Sand Scale Clan beauties around him who didn't dare to approach, whispering and pointing at him, and he was at a loss for words.

Shajina's expression was also a bit awkward.

Afterward, Shajina hesitantly told Shane something.

"Actually, besides being good at dealing with demons, our Sand Scale Clan also has an overwhelming number of females compared to males. The birthrate of girls is very high, and even their looks are not bad, which is why our ancestors chose to settle down in the Enchanting Demon Territory."

Shajina's narration left Shane speechless.

Was he actually lucky?

Damn, that's really delicate…
