To the Devils, gold, silver, and even precious stones, the constant equivalent of many of the human planes of the Heavenly Worlds, are as close to them as dirt and weeds.

Therefore, some greedy and stupid human beings can indeed obtain a considerable amount of "wealth" by selling their souls.

Because in the case of the devil they get what they want with little to give.

Of course, low-quality souls are only used by the Devils of Purgatory to fill their stomachs, and in order to further increase their own income, they will carry out a certain amount of "deep processing" of the souls that have been included in the bag after signing the contract.

For example, a person is promised the right to be given a lifetime, but he is required not to be tempted by any woman in this life...... The tenacious soul tempered by the world is as dazzling as a polished gemstone, and it is also more valuable.

Of course, no matter how powerful a mortal's soul is theoretically, that's it, even if it is a soul that has been deeply processed and tempered by the world, it will also reach the soul of the third order, and the top heaven has some legendary qualities.

The most valuable thing is the powerful life of the high demon plane, the high-level wizard, and even the soul of the gods, which is the real value is huge.

It's just that like humans, they are willing to twist their souls out of desire, and there are still a few who make a contract with the devils of purgatory, and the vast majority of powerful beings would rather return to the Styx forever than be stupid enough to sell their souls, because they refuse to make a deal with the devil since the life information left by their ancient ancestors.

Human beings are different, human beings don't know whether they are too stupid or too smart, their ancestors once had a brilliant record of pitting demons in turn, and their desires are far stronger than those of other lifeforms, so the humans of the Heavenly World have always been the main business objects of the lower plane purgatory world.

High-level legendary wizards are difficult to be pitted, they are often amazingly intelligent and experienced, but even in the wizarding world, every year there are people who lose their souls in transactions with the devil...... Swimmers die from drowning, and even if they know the danger, too many wizards have actively chosen to trade with the existence of the lower plane.

But even so, the fifth-order transcendent soul was still rare to come by for tens of thousands of years.

The fifth-order transcendent existence is already the definition of the god level in the Heavenly Universe.

Their wisdom and strength make them not have any advantage in the transaction with the devil of purgatory, and even if they tear up the purgatory contract, as long as they pay enough price, they will have countermeasures, and they will not be like legendary wizards, who are purely dancing on a tightrope and stepping on the wrong step without a place to be buried.

Fortunately, for the Purgatory Devil, although the fifth-order transcendent soul is rare, the demigod soul is still relatively easy to obtain, and the existence of the demigod level already has a certain degree of transcendent divinity, and if there are enough demigod souls in hand, they can even be cast and purified into a kind of transcendent soul in the end, which is also a peerless treasure of great value.

Gold, silver, and precious stones are like dirt and weeds to the devils of purgatory, and magical materials are slightly more valuable to them, and other relatively conceptual things such as "lifespan", "luck", "family", "friendship", "love", and "knowledge" can also be used as high-value commodities, but the "soul" is the devil's favorite after all.

It is a precious resource that will always circulate in the heavens and worlds, a high-value constant equivalent.

———— "The Wonderful Soul of the Purgatory Codex, Zhu Peng"

In the humid and sweltering forest, the last words were written around the burning campfire.

The young man put the gray-white witch robe on his body and thought for a moment, and then he wrote the following paragraph on the title page of the notebook in his hand:

"Forever...... Never despise your soul, it is the most noble treasure of all things!"

The next day, the light of day dawns and a new adventure begins.

The Qiuyue sisters, Yanagi Shuiyue, Roses and Lisa climbed out of the tent and washed themselves, and in the process, Roses saw Zhu Peng sitting by the bonfire that was about to be extinguished and looked at the book seriously, she walked over, stretched out her head with her hands behind her back, and saw that it was a theoretical classic of the bloodline.

"You get up before dawn every day? It's been half a month, and I can see you here every morning when I get up. ”

"I'm in better health, I've slept a lot, but I can't sleep at all. As he spoke, Zhu Peng grabbed the cane inserted in the side, he slowly stood up with some difficulty, and the heavy armor burden on his body made him a little wheezing and sweating just by making such a simple action.

Glancing at the attribute panel that only he can see, his physique has risen a little again in just half a month, so hard work, but it is worth it after all.

There is still a lot of potential to be tapped in this body.

At this time, Ma Yongzhen carried a big gun and carried a leopard-like beast out of the jungle, most of the warriors did not have the habit of sleeping lazy, getting up early and going to bed early to cherish the body, it is the homework that every martial artist who wants to improve must do. Because Zhu Peng was here in the early morning, Ma Yongzhen was also relieved, so he simply went out to hunt a head of game and came back for everyone to try.

Dark Second Realm: The Graves of Decay.

Not all of them are built in huge tombs, the terrain here is very complex, many places shrubs grow in clusters with flowing water as veins, and under the poisonous land, many places are ancient tombs, they are dark and intertwined, forming almost a whole dark underground world.

Zhu Peng, Qiuyue Sisters, Liu Sheng Shuiyue, Roses, Ma Yongzhen, Lisa, the seven of them have been wandering and fighting in this world for half a month, except for Zhu Peng and Liu Sheng Shuiyue, who had been professionals before, the other five people came to the Dark Second Realm when they started, and the level of professionals is growing rapidly, but with strong attacks and weak attacks, it is difficult to get the limit promotion value of five attributes per level.

In the five realms of darkness, if you want to get as many attribute points as possible at each level, one is to kill monsters that are similar to or even higher than your own level, the second is to fully exercise yourself to tap your own potential, and the third is to take more tasks from the Professionals Guild.

In this way, the witch net does not intercept the commission of the origin of the demon god, otherwise even if you completely achieve the first and second items, the witch net will still intercept the origin of the demon god, and the professional will still not be able to achieve the limit enhancement of five attribute points per level. Zhu Peng's current physique attributes, the current professional level can no longer be improved, but he can slowly improve through his own training, and the Dark Second Realm, which corresponds to Zhu Peng's first-order wizard level, Zhu Peng returned from the Black Castle Academy World this time, that is, in order to accelerate the increase of his spiritual power value in the Dark Realm.

At the camp, Ma Yongzhen peeled the skin and cut the meat, roasted the barbecue, and the Akizuki Mana made a delicious fish soup for everyone, and after eating a sumptuous breakfast, the group continued on the road.

This time in the course of a professional, because of the strength and relative guarantee of safety, Zhu Peng did not take on the interlocking serial tasks to increase the maximum benefit, but chose a survey and exploration task with the greatest risk coefficient and the highest difficulty.

In the past half a month, this adventure team has gradually penetrated deep into the skinning forest, and the lost direction, the malfunctioning instrument, and the huge monster community have surrounded this adventurer team layer by layer.

However, the spirit of everyone in the team is still good.

............

Inside the Peeling Forest, Yagyu Suizuki is on the left, and Lisa is on the right, each holding a knife to chop the grass that obscures the view, both of them have considerable combat ability, even if they are suddenly attacked, they will not have any fear.

The two wings followed and guarded by the Qiuyue sisters who held magic guide guns, the two girls were well-dressed, and they were holding modified infantry firearms in their hands, once there was a change, the two of them would seize the high point to support the whole team, and during the time when Zhu Peng was recuperating from his injuries before, there were already senior wizards who had been invited at a high price to carry out the transformation ceremony for them to be promoted to official wizards.

The Qiuyue sisters have a silver and gold talent bloodline, their innate qualifications are already very high, their theoretical foundation is solid, and their foreign resources are also abundant.

After many years of daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, her two daughters finally truly integrated into the huge wizarding world as the remnants of the earth, that day Sayuri almost knelt down in front of Zhu Peng in a state of loss, and Zhu Peng, who was injured, could not stop it, if it weren't for Zhu Youxi's quick reaction, he almost made a joke in front of many outsiders. As a mother, it's understandable that you're glad about your daughter's achievements, but if you bow down to a junior, nominally you're still your adopted son, and that's it.

The rear wing of the adventurous team is Ma Yongzhen, who looks lazy with a big iron gun, but even if Zhu Peng is in the middle of the suppression, the eyes of this old man always have a fine light.

A person like him would not completely pin his life and safety on others, let alone his precious daughter.

Zhu Peng and Ma Qianrong walked together in the center of the team as spellcasters, Ma Qianrong was better, although she walked on the extremely difficult forest road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but she drank some potions from time to time to replenish her physical strength, but she didn't feel very tired, but Zhu Peng beside her.

Zhu Peng was wearing a sheepskin-like gray wizard robe at this moment, holding a cane with intricate magic patterns in his right hand, and he was gasping slightly quickly as he walked, sweat running down his cheeks.

"Or ...... Why don't we rest for a while, and then march like this, Zhu Peng, are you physically bearable?" Ma Qianrong asked with some concern.

“...... You're probably the first person since I turned twelve worried about my fitness, and that's new...... Alert, enemy attack!" The first half of the sentence is still a normal joke, but the second half of the sentence is already a roar.

Zhu Peng slammed the wand on his right hand, and a huge magic power spread out around it, and the sticky wet earth suddenly cracked inch by inch in the echo of the spell, and one after another dry bones that were buried in the ground did not know when they crawled out with a "whin".

Countless gray-white souls poured out of the wand in Zhu Peng's palm along with the spread of magic power, and they fit together with those dry bone warriors.

Moments later, with a light smoke lingering, a group of Calradian warriors stood atop the land of the Graves of Decay in the Dark Second Realm.

Of course, there are only about twenty people, and at the moment, such a terrain can't put the scale of the entire Netherworld Legion of two hundred, and the ones that Zhu Peng summoned at this moment are all elite Calradia warriors who have been promoted to the third or even fourth level, they are good at military formations, they are not afraid of death, and under the shroud of Zhu Peng's imperial aura, even the actual combat power is not inferior to ordinary first-order professionals.

It wasn't until Zhu Peng's side was ready, and even after the entire adventurous team had already seized the battle site, about a minute later, the enemy attack did not come......

Except for Ma Yongzhen, everyone present looked at Zhu Peng with puzzled eyes. Zhu Peng smiled and tilted his head, and he spoke:

"Sorry...... Because the hostility came more ferociously this time, it was reported about two minutes earlier. ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of humanoid demons with a height of more than two meters ran and jumped out of the shade of the trees one by one, holding spears sharpened into spikes...... Gravity plus potential energy, this is really a sacrifice charge, a fierce and crazy performance. However, this group of humanoid demons was attacked head-on by those who had been prepared for a long time.

The autumn wind is not moving, and the cicadas are unconscious, and they secretly send impermanence to death.

It can also be called: the way of sincerity!

This is a martial arts master in the fairyland of the Dan Dao people, after the spiritual cultivation is polished to an extremely high level, he can predict his own blessings and misfortunes to a certain extent, which is very powerful and terrifying.

Zhu Peng does not have that level of spiritual cultivation, the last two steps of the Dan Dao Immortal Realm: Gang and God, that is probably the ability to be close to the realm of gods, and it is not even necessary, but it is possible.

However, all the masters who have cultivated to the Dan realm, or even the peak realm of transforming strength, will have a "response to stress" reaction, to put it bluntly, the skin around the body is sensitive, when you look at me with undisguised killing intent, when you point a gun at me in the distance, the master of this realm will feel that his scalp is numb, and the chrysanthemum suddenly tightened.

This is something similar to the instinct of a beast, if the person who casts the plot is a veteran and is good at hiding the killing intent, or the plot itself is an "accident" that no human will is involved in now, then the Dan Master or the master of the Transformation Realm should not react to it, and there is no irritation, and there is no response.

And the national art system, the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation: the way of sincerity.

That would be a bit similar to the mysterious prophet of the mysteries, if the plane crashed the moment before boarding the plane, the cultivators of this realm would immediately feel the danger and retreat from the plane.

Zhu Peng is still far from this realm now, he is just a pure yang Dao heart is clear and clear, so he is extremely sensitive to the enemy's killing intent.

Because of the relationship between cultivating fighting spirit and learning witchcraft, it is already very difficult for Zhu Peng's national art cultivation in this life to break through to the two realms of light, darkness, and transformation, Dan, Gang, and Shenzhong.

There is no other reason, and the mind is divided. The heart of martial arts is no longer pure.

(Someone is peeping in the dark, such a clear and strong killing intent should not be the gaze of a simple demonic creature, at least the gaze of an intelligent creature...... But where?) For the monsters that came out from all directions, Zhu Peng, who was holding the ghost staff, didn't even look at it.

This man spun around in a circle, searching for the gaze with strong murderous intent, but the terrain on all sides was too complicated, and after a while, even Zhu Peng was in vain.

(Already, escaped!?)

While Zhu Peng was on his cane with both hands and frowning, there were more and more demonic people around him, and even the entire adventurer team was gradually separated by virtue of his numerical superiority.

Yanagi Suizuki is wearing a beam plate armor similar to the ancient Japanese armament, at this moment, put aside the short knife, draw out the extra-long Japanese samurai long knife, in the complex mountains and forests, it is hard to borrow the terrain to rush and fight, the samurai long knife seems to be faintly wrapped in flames, all the demonized people who are slashed by its full strength, even if they don't die immediately, will scream and roll on the ground, and after a while, they will be scorched to death.

Lisa turned into a huge brown bear, rushing, slapping, and biting, and being picked by the huge bear paws, no different from being picked by a steel hammer, it behaved with ease and even strength.

The Qiuyue sisters were a little panicked at the beginning, and the two white-robed wizards who mainly focused on research, if they were not caught and trained, they would only behave more ugly.

After the two girls moved closer to Zhu Peng and were protected by Zhu Peng's intentional control of the Nether Ghost Army, their emotions returned to a normal level, and the enchanted and transformed firearms in their hands strafed and switched between point fire, completing the maximum killing with the minimum consumption...... White wizard, spending money for combat power, it is enough to behave reasonably, and Zhu Peng never planned to let the two of them participate in any tragic bloody battle.

The twenty Calradian warriors/ghost army, except for five who were fourth-level Rhodok marksmen, the rest were all Nord third-level skilled light infantry or fourth-level Nord warriors, and they revolved around Zhu Peng and Ma Qianrong, and now plus the Qiuyue sisters in a circle.

These warriors have pale white guardian aura under their feet, and their physical defense is doubled as a result.

The bravery of the combat power, coupled with the double increase of the Guardian Aura and Zhu Peng's military command, the few elite warriors firmly guarded the spellcasters and ranged exporters behind them.

Ma Qianrong did not directly participate in the witchcraft of attack and defense, but she calmly cast spells at the core of the defense, so that Ma Yongzhen, Lisa, and even Liu Sheng Shuiyue greatly increased their combat power and continued combat ability for a while.

However, this fragile balance between offense, defense and killing was shattered by the drastic changes in the next moment.

The two huge demonized people of about 3.5 meters held the wooden cross with one hand and rushed into the formation, their skin was pale, their movements were fast, and their strength was heavy, which was very different from those ordinary demonized people who only had the power of one blow when charging, and they were obviously stronger elite bosses!

The abyss descended on the earth plane, and most of the six billion people died, and the demonized people in front of them were only a few dimes to talk about.

And the Tomb of Decay is the second realm of darkness, and the transformation and derivation of this world are all second-order demons, among which elites and mutated mini-bosses are all strong second-order existences.

In normal times, such strength does not seem to exist, but at this moment, they have the strength to destroy an entire team of adventurers.
