There were more and more cracks on the surface of the stone, and soon it was dense like a spider's web, and the red core inside became more and more dazzling.

"Stop, stop!" said the demon, "if it continues like this, it will burn the red iron inside!"

Qiu Cheng put away the blue flame when he heard this.

"I'll take care of the rest. The demon picked up the axe again, but instead of smashing it as hard as before, it struck it carefully.

The shell of the hematite surface continued to peel off, and after a few moments, a half-human-high red stone was completely exposed in front of the two of them.

Whew-

The demon let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the red iron with surprise in his eyes.

"It's bigger than I expected. The demon said to Qiu Cheng, "Qi Ling, I can divide half of you." ”

Qiu Cheng shook his head: "It's useless in my hands, you can take it all." ”

The demon couldn't help but divide the red iron into two and handed over some of it to Qiu Cheng, Qiu Cheng couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only accept it, but he didn't expect this demon to be quite real.

"Are you the Demon Lord's Covenant Spirit?" the demon suddenly asked.

Qiu Cheng nodded.

"No wonder you have Hellfire on you, but this is the first time I've seen a blue Hellfire. The demon muttered to himself.

Then, the demon carried the remaining part of the red iron and said to Qiu Cheng, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye. ”

Qiu Cheng nodded, watching the demon's back gradually shrink until it disappeared.

Looking at the red iron in front of him, which was nearly half a meter high, Qiu Cheng couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain from this trip to hell.

Just as he was about to go back, the ground suddenly shook violently, accompanied by a loud roar.

"Roar—"

A roar like a desolate beast sounded, and at the same time, a powerful aura swept through the entire forest, Qiu Cheng felt an unprecedented crisis, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Qiu Cheng saw that the ground a few hundred meters away in front of him was gradually rising, and a hell beast dozens of meters high and more than a hundred meters long stood up, it moved its limbs and walked towards the other side of the forest, and with every step it took, the ground shook violently.

The huge hellbeast didn't notice Qiu Cheng at all, perhaps because he was too small to deserve its attention.

A few minutes later, the Hellbeast came to the other side of the forest and lay dormant again, merging with the ground.

If he hadn't seen this scene with his own eyes, Qiu Cheng wouldn't have believed that it was a huge hellbeast.

Grunt!

Qiu Cheng swallowed, and now he finally knew the meaning of the word "death" in the Forest of Death.

Now Qiu Cheng didn't want to stay for even a second here, he just wanted to get out of this damn place quickly.

Qiu Cheng galloped all the way to the crack and jumped in.

When he returned to the gap of death, Qiu Cheng found that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"Well done, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight. Death said after closing the rift.

"Didn't you say that the hell on the other side of the rift is not dangerous, but I just saw a hellbeast dozens of stories high, and I almost died, do you know?" Qiu Cheng kept complaining.

"Calm down, aren't you still alive?" said the Grim Reaper, "and you have brought back such a large piece of red iron, which is enough to create a set of full-body armor." ”

"You know this thing too?" Qiu Cheng asked, pointing to the piece of red iron on the ground.

"Hematite is the best material for forging weapons, and the weapons forged from it are extremely sharp and indestructible. As he spoke, the Grim Reaper waved the scythe in his hand, "My weapons are made of hematite. ”

"Can you build weapons?" Qiu Cheng's eyes lit up.

"Of course...... No. "Only the specialized forges in Hell can forge heterite, and my scythe was made for me by a little demon." ”

"I thought you would. The corners of Qiu Cheng's mouth twitched, "This piece of red iron will be placed here for you first, and I will take it when I need it." ”

"Yes. Death nodded.

"Thanks, I'll go first, I still have classes in the afternoon. Qiu Cheng said.

"Wait a minute. Death stopped him and took out two crystals, one black and one white, from under his robes.

Qiu Cheng frowned, and from the crystal, he felt a familiar aura fluctuation, it was the soul.

"What is this?"

"Soul crystallization, black is the sinful soul, white is the perfect soul. "Soul crystals can only be made by us Death, and it is also the responsibility of our Grim Reaper to collect those souls that have just left the body and make them into soul crystals." ”

"Is this thing useful?" Qiu Cheng found that he still knew very little about this world.

"Build up, or recover from an injury. The Grim Reaper replied, "The gods use white crystals, and demons use black crystals, although the effect is greatly reduced compared to the soul, but it can be used for a long time or in emergencies, and every once in a while I will take it to the black market to trade." ”

"Boy, even if you have signed a contract with God and Demon at the same time, it is someone else's power after all, and in this world, only you are the most reliable when you are strong. Death said.

"I see, thank you, Death. After a moment, Qiu Cheng nodded.

"You're welcome, I'm also selling you a favor, and I may ask you for it in the future. "You signed two contracts at the same time, and I don't know if the white crystals are useful to you or the black crystals are useful to you, so you can take them back and try them all." ”

......

After leaving Yanhu, Qiu Cheng looked at the two crystals in his palm, one black and one white, and his mood was a little complicated.

As the Grim Reaper just said, this world is a huge chessboard, only the strong are qualified to become chess players, and the rest will be reduced to pawns.

Qiu Cheng also had to think about himself in the future, and he couldn't collect a lifetime of souls for the demon lord.

Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to break the contract with the Demon Lord.

There are always more ways than difficulties, he believes that there must be a way to terminate the contract, I'm afraid Uncle Scholar will know, but he doesn't want to tell himself.

......

There was a class in the afternoon, and Qiu Cheng still sat next to Zi Xia, away from 287's three brothers.

"Qiu Cheng, there will be an orientation party in the school auditorium this weekend, let's put on a show together!" Zi Xia's big eyes stared at Qiu Cheng tightly, full of anticipation.

"Okay. Qiu Chengcheng couldn't bear to refuse.

"What kind of show are we performing? Tell me in advance, I don't have any talent. Qiu Cheng gave Zixia an injection in advance.

"Hmm...... Let me think. Zi Xia fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zi Xia smiled faintly and said, "There is, let's dance!"
