56 The Devil's Mind
Linde thought for a moment before shaking his tail and saying, "I've been active in this area since I was born. I don't know exactly where this is in the underworld. In my memory inheritance, there is a lot of information about the terrestrial world. But it doesn't seem to help you in your current situation. ”
"This area is not big, and there are no demons in existence. There are only a few passages that connect to the tribes of the Dwarves. "But these dwarf tribes are, in fact, the food of a great being. I was his guard and caretaker. As soon as I was born, I got an imprint in my memory about my duty. But your arrival has given me another choice. ”
Catherine sat cross-legged on a large rock with her hands crossed over her chest. She quietly listened to Lindeworm's story, closed her eyes and thought for a while.
"Good. I see what you mean. So take me to the Great Being now. Catherine opened her eyes and said.
"We're here to help. With a humble voice, Lindworm curled Catherine up with her tail, placed it lightly on top of her head, and swam away.
"Keep up with it. ”
Ace heard the voice and turned his head to see the goblin back on his shoulder.
"Keep up with that Lind worm, there must be a lot to record in the places they went. Quick, keep up with it!"
After Ass swallowed two shamanic eyeballs just now, his stomach burned like fire. At this moment, he felt that his whole body was full of vigorous power. He jumped up from the big rock, and hit the milky stone on the roof of the cave with a "bang".
Ace fell into the pond and knocked his head unconscious. He shook his head and got up, looking overhead. The roof of the cave here is at least three or four meters high, and it is covered with the kind of luminescent milkstones. He jumped up from the big rock and smashed a raised stone tumor directly into the top of the cave.
Ace touched his forehead, and there was a large deflated piece, and it seemed that the skull had been shattered. But just as he touched the wound, his forehead grew back.
It's amazing!
"Is this the effect of eating the devil's eyeball? The old professor stretched out two hands from As's shoulders, one holding his encyclopedia and the other writing quickly.
When Ace discovered the changes in his body, he was surprised and delighted, and even a little afraid. He took a step forward, and the man flew two meters away with a "whoosh".
Fortunately, he didn't push too hard, but even so, Ace threw himself headlong into the pool. He got back to his feet, carefully controlling his strength, and ran in the direction where the Linde worm had disappeared.
Lind worms are not slow at all in shallow water. Ace chased after it, never seeing its back.
After all, the topography of this area is not complicated, with the occasional few stones dotted in the water, and the top is illuminated by milkstones. It's dark in the distance, but it's still bright up close. Ace followed the ripples rippling in the water, so as not to be lost.
After running for about ten minutes, Ace's control of his body became more and more comfortable. His speed was getting faster and faster, and when he ran at full speed, he could only see a figure.
Now Ace was able to catch up with Lindebug. Most of the Lindworm's body was submerged in water, except for its huge head. Suddenly, its slender red tail burst out of the water and stood in front of Ace like a snake's head.
"Master thinks you're running too slowly. The tail uttered a word, and it rushed towards Ace like lightning.
Before Ace could come to his senses, he found that the tail of the Linde worm had already wrapped around him. His body was violently pulled by a tremendous force, and the scenery around him blurred backwards.
"That's the real speed of the Linde bug. Ace thought to himself. The original joy that he was able to catch up with Linde worms suddenly disappeared.
But Catherine, who gave the order to Linde, didn't have the heart to care about the blow to As's confidence. She sat on top of Lindworm's head, thinking about her current situation.
The reason why Catherine was able to wake up was actually due to the worm under her.
The Lind Worm is arguably one of the most peculiar creatures in the underworld. They possess the blood of a dragon, the body of a demon, and the soul of a demon.
In the memory of the king of the devils, Bosetto Ifer, there was once a powerful Linde worm, whose strength could even be comparable to that of the three ancient dragon kings.
Like most demons, Linde worms have a special sense of smell for the soul. Right now, this Linde worm smelled the scent of Catherine's powerful soul and took the initiative to conclude a contract between the devils.
After the weak devil takes the initiative to conclude a master-servant contract with the powerful devil, the powerful devil can freely dispose of and enslave the other party, but the weak devil must be rewarded accordingly within the specified time. Once the stronger party is unable to pay as promised, then his soul will be devoured by the weaker side.
In fact, the devils judge the strength and weakness only at the soul level. This is also why, even though the Linde Worm seems to be much more powerful than Catherine, it will conclude a master-servant contract.
Of course, usually those strong big devils have strong bodies. But there are occasional cases like Catherine's, whose soul is unusually strong, but her body is very weak.
This is often seen by the relatively weak devils as an opportunity to strengthen themselves. They seek to conclude a pact to see if there is a chance to devour each other's souls.
Catherine was awakened from her slumber by the call of the Lind Worm. As a powerful devil who has inherited the soul of the Hell King, she certainly will not refuse this contract. This is not only the pride of the strong, but also an opportunity to get out of the predicament.
Catherine is well aware of Lindebug's careful thinking, every devil is cunning and treacherous, and Linde Bug will not be an exception. It is a trap that it dedicates to the dwarf shaman himself, which is not too big or small.
The bug seems to have deliberately failed to mention that the dwarves were food for some powerful being. Looting food, which is the most combat-provoking behavior in the underworld. In serious cases, it is possible to become the fuse of war between races.
But even if she knew, Catherine would still choose to eat the golden shaman. There is nothing more important at the moment than strengthening your weak body.
Back then, in the underground world where there were many strong people, Boserto Ifil became the king of hell with his own means and strength. He has seen too many intrigues and tricks, and has defeated countless challengers and enemies.
So Catherine wasn't afraid to meet the unknown and powerful being. In her memory, there were no more respectable powerhouses in the underworld than one hand. If you have the opportunity to meet one here, it will be a long-awaited reunion of "old friends".
After the Linde worm brought Asi, he was able to move with all his might, and the speed was as fast as lightning. But at its speed, it ran for another hour and didn't reach its destination.
Catherine was also not impatient, she ate the hands and legs of the golden shaman, and was taking time to feel the changes in her body. In fact, the most valuable part of a low-level demon like the Golden Dwarf is the evolved eyes.
Catherine wants to transform her body, and eating the golden shaman's eyes is the most effective. However, in the heart of the female mage, a strong thought arose at that time. She hoped that Ace would become stronger, strong enough to protect herself.
But the thought only flashed through her mind, and Catherine had another explanation as to why she had given the shaman's eye to As.
"I need a trusted henchman, and in Doug's absence, Ace is the right fit. Catherine thought silently, "He must be strong enough to be worthy of my identity." He needs to be stronger. ”
The speed of the Linde worm slowed down. The water on the ground has also become scarce, and in some places the surface has been exposed. There was mud on the ground here, a fiery red earth, like a burning fire.
Catherine was immediately thoughtful when she saw the dirt. In the underworld, rocks, gravel, and magma are common. Even water can be found in many places. But dirt is different, they are rare, to be exact, rare. What's more, this fiery red earth is a rare thing in the terrestrial world.
Catherine reached out and gently tapped Lindworm's head. Three seconds later, Ace was placed by the tail by the Linde worm next to Catherine.
"Catherine, you're alright. "Ace is still a little dizzy, but fortunately, Linde Worm has slowed down, and he has finally recovered a little.
"I'm fine. Catherine looked at Ace with a blank expression.
Ace didn't like to look at Catherine like that. Today's female mages have almost no emotion in their eyes, and they are very cold.
Ace deliberately looked around and said, "Isn't it almost there?" ”
"Hmm. Catherine snorted.
"Professor, do you know what the red dirt, the red mud that the underworld calls 'fire mud', represents?"
