Van Le replied with great chagrin: "That fellow, he has quietly gone to the Kandala Valley. I saw him walk out of the space-time portal. Before I could negotiate, the guy killed me. ”

Beagle became gloomy: "He doesn't know your abilities, and he's not afraid of you spreading the news?"

"How do I know," cried Vanle angrily, "perhaps, he intends to leave Sadachi." Damn, we're working for nothing. That guy must have fled to a new world!"

Beagle's face became more and more ugly. He muttered, "No, it may not be the worst yet. Let's go back to your lodgings first. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Beagle turned and flew towards Van Le's villa. Van followed closely.

"You're too slow!" said Beagle, throwing a flying carpet. The flying carpet carries Van Le and walks side by side with Beagle.

Van Le was secretly nervous, fearing that Beagle would take advantage of his weakness and kill him.

Beagle had no such thoughts at all. He was more concerned about the way to get to the New World: "Do you have a stand-in in your place to confuse the enemy?"

"Of course," Vanle's gaze regained its brightness, "do you suspect that he will come to my dwelling and try to kill me once and for all?"

Beagle slowed down slightly, distracted to hide his tracks: "I can't rule it out. If it were me, I wouldn't be in a hurry to flee immediately. Cross-border transmissions require lead time, but they are still fast. Find out what is going on, and if it's bad, it's never too late to get ready to escape. ”

Van Le perked up slightly: "I hope he thinks the same way." ”

The two flew to the vicinity of the villa and stopped for the time being. Van Le sensed for a while, and said firmly: "He hasn't had time to break into the villa yet, everything is normal." ”

Beagle unleashed a dozen tiny insects. While paying attention to the movement in the distance, he asked, "Is there any place where you can covertly monitor the inside and outside of the villa?"

"Follow me. Van Le led Beagle and flew to a tree a few meters away. Vanle touched the trunk of the tree with his hand, and a painted door appeared on it. Van Le led Beagle into the tree. The door vanished.

The space in the trunk is very spacious, like a bedroom, with all kinds of furniture and instruments. Van Le walked over to a chessboard. On the chessboard, a three-dimensional picture of the inside and outside of the villa is displayed.

Van Le pressed down on the wide chessboard and switched the horizon of the surveillance: "What are you going to do? ambush him?"

Beagle retracted his gaze and looked at Van Le: "With my strength, how sure do you think you are?"

Van Le thought about it seriously. It took a long time for him to speak: "His strength is very strong, he killed Nakur and Kir one after another, but he didn't run out. Even though he almost killed me, I still can't judge his limits. We should try to avoid killing him, and preferably force him to submit. Lord Beagle, I don't think I have much hope of success on your own. ”

Beagle smiled slightly: "I think so." So, let's observe first. ”

Vanle's half-hearted compliment: "You have always been so calm and wise. I hope that guy won't be in a hurry to get out of this world. ”

"Don't worry," said Beagle, with a confident look, "it's better to be able to travel freely between two worlds than to be trapped in one." We'll definitely have a chance. ”

"It's coming!" exclaimed Van Le with sudden joy. He adjusted the chessboard, and the image on it zoomed in and became clearer. Du Shen's figure appeared on the edge of the chessboard. He looked very cautious, and slowly approached the villa with a few stops.

Beagle and Van Le monitored Du Shen's movements through the chessboard. They saw Du Shen dive into the villa. Du Shen found the stand-in left by Van Le and killed him after a fight. Du Shen seems to have doubts about Van Le's stand-in. He studied for a while before he got up and left, looting the belongings of the villa.

If it was usual, Fan Le would have been very distressed when he saw Du Shen wantonly looting the property he had deliberately left. At this time, he said worriedly to Bigel: "Will it be too little?

"It's not too little," Beagle was recalling Du Shen's performance in the battle just now, absent-mindedly, "The situation of each demon god is different, and there are more or fewer treasures stored. ”

Du Shen covered up the entire villa, as if Van Le was just going out normally. He walked out generously and disappeared into the corner of the chessboard.

Fan Le kept operating the chessboard, exerting his ability to the limit, and he couldn't continue to see Du Shen's figure: "My lord, what should we do now?"

"Gather your companions, of course," Beagle glared at Van Le with blazing eyes, "There is probably only one chance! How many men do you think we should muster?"

Van Le pondered: of course he wanted to muster as few men as possible. In this way, in the new world, he will be able to allocate more people. However, the premise is that Du Shen must be guaranteed to be captured alive and forced to hand over the time and space gate.

"It's better to eat less than not at all. Van Le sighed and put away his thoughts. He straightened up and said to Biggar very seriously: "My lord, when that guy killed Nakur, he once crossed a long distance in an instant. I conclude that it is a spatial ability. If we want to catch him, we'd better gather all our companions!"

"That's what I thought," Beagle nodded, a little heavy, "he can teleport instantly? It's a hassle! But it doesn't matter, with everyone's strength, we're sure we'll be able to catch him." ”

Time is like an arrow, since "killing" Van Le, Du Shen has been staying in the residence. Even for the annual sacrifices, he notified the lords of various places to suspend for a year through the amulet.

It wasn't until the routine sacrifice of the second year that Du Shen walked out of his residence and went to various places to receive life force. Du Shen acted very cautiously, and even temporarily postponed the sacrifices of certain city-states. But he did not suffer the expected ambush. Du Shen returned to his residence and continued his quiet retreat.

In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed. That afternoon, a blue-haired woman appeared outside Du Shen's residence.

The woman knocks on the door through the means unique to the demon god. Du Shen then appeared in the wilderness: "Your Excellency Qireel, I haven't seen you for a long time, is there something wrong with me?"

Kirell smiled and hovered in the air: "Since the previous meeting, His Excellency Van Le seems to have disappeared. Does Lord Fensel know his whereabouts?"

"Your Excellency Van Le hasn't come back yet?" Du Shen shook his head slightly, "I don't know the whereabouts of His Excellency Van Le." It's just that I visited him after the exchange of territories, but I didn't find him. It seems that he is not simply traveling far away!"

"Maybe he's on an adventure somewhere," Kirell looked like he didn't care, "and since Vanle is missing for the time being, I'd like to start a recent gathering." Are you interested in participating?"

"Of course," Du Shen replied, "where is the time and place?"

"It's still in the middle of the lake," Kirelle said with a smile, "that place has become Your Excellency's domain. So, I would like to ask Your Excellency to provide a temporary meeting place there. It was just a month later. ”

"No problem," Du Shen happily agreed, "I will provide a similar building." So, we'll see you in a month?"

"Okay," Qirell raised an eyebrow, "I and the others have gathered a lot of good things. Your Excellency must be prepared with enough life force!"
