I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 240: Raid dungeon (32)

However, there really wasn't anywhere for us to go…

So we had no choice but to let that mummy approach.

After that mummy came over, it started moaning at us.

We had no idea what this mummy was saying, but the tone of its moaning sounded…friendly?

It was hard to tell since this was just the moaning of a mummy, but the overall tone seemed like it was trying to become friends with us.

We didn't say anything as it kept moaning to us, in hopes that this would chase it off, but the mummy didn't care at all. It just kept waving its hand and moaning at us as if it was saying something important.

After a while, it finally stopped moaning and turned to leave.

We couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief when we saw this, but it turned out that it wasn't over yet.

It had only taken a few steps before turning back to look at us. The way that it looked at us was like it was asking us, "Why aren't you following?"

Though we could see this look on the face of the mummy, none of us followed it still.

That was until the mummy finally waved its hand back at us.

When it did, it started attracting the attention of the surrounding mummies walking by who all stopped and turned to look in our direction.

The moment that we became the center of attention like this, we had no choice but to follow this mummy.

We had no idea where it was taking us, but it was better than being trapped in that open space with mummies all around us. If we remained there and our covers were blown, then we would have been surrounded and torn apart in an instant.

So the only thing that we could do was play along and see if we could find a way to escape.

The mummy led us through the streets of this town, passing by many other different mummies.

When they saw us, they all waved at the mummy that led us and came up to talk to them.

It seemed that this mummy was quite the popular one among its fellow mummies.

When they came up, they all had what seemed like smiles on their faces even though their faces were covered in bandages. At least it seemed like they were smiling based on the look in their eyes.

Every time that a mummy came up, the one that was leading us stopped to talk to them.

It seemed like they would just chat about some random things before the mummy leading us turned the attention back to us. We had remained quiet every time, but the mummy would always bring the other mummies to come see us.

With the way that it was moaning and gesturing, it was almost as if they were introducing us.

The mummies that came up all waved and seemed to greet us after being introduced.

For the first one, I just hesitantly waved back at them.

That mummy didn't say anything and just gave me an understanding look before turning back to talk to the mummy leading us.

For the next few, I slowly started moaning a bit and using my Suggestion to make them hear what they wanted to hear.

This time, they all happily went on to moan back at us while gesturing.

With the way that they spoke and the way that they gestured, it was almost as if they were happily telling us about their neighbourhood. They seemed very much like the neighbours that I had lived with even though they were monsters.

The more that I interacted with these mummies, the more that I started to understand what their moaning and gestures meant. I still wasn't able to understand their words, but I at least got the meaning through the tone.

They were just…introducing themselves to the new resident, which was us.

These mummies were acting just like humans meeting a new neighbour, but they were still monsters in the end…

Just what had happened that caused these mummies to start acting this way?

Though I didn't let my guard down for a single second since I knew that the moment that they found out that we were humans, they would immediately attack us and rip us apart.

So all I could do was try to go along and keep our disguises for as long as possible.

The mummy that led us eventually brought us to this plot of land that was deeper in this town.

Looking carefully, I could tell that this was already halfway across the second floor.

It seemed that they had started building the wall near the entrance to this second floor and from there, they had expanded the town inwards towards the stairs that led to the third floor.

If they kept going, they would have eventually reached the third floor.

Once we were here, the mummy leading us stopped and gestured to the empty plot in front of us. Then it gestured to the other mummies that were around us who were all currently building houses in the plots that they were in.

I had figured out the gestures of the mummies enough to guess what they were saying by now.

This mummy had brought us here so we could build our own house like the rest of the mummies here.

If I had to guess, these were most likely other new recruits that had just arrived in their town.

As we turned to look at them, they waved at us in a cheery manner.

It really was strange seeing the monsters acting like this, but this was just how it was…

The mummy saw that we got the gist of what it was saying, so it pointed at a pile of rocks not far away and moaned something.

Judging by how the other mummies took rocks from that pile to bring back to their own plots, it was most likely saying that we should get the materials that we needed from there.

After explaining all of this, the mummy waved its hand, moaned something, and left.

It seemed that it was done leading us new recruits and were leaving us to our own devices.

As we stood there, we really didn't know what to do now.
