The signs brought by the giant eagle made Cheng Shen speed up a series of movements.

He had planned to place this goblin group in the temple ruins first, but he was afraid that the building would cause them traumatic stress disorder.

Simply.

Cheng Shen directly took out an order hub and built a new territory.

This Nexus of Order was acquired by him before, and after the completion of the trade market, some survivors have given up their territory to join other people's territory through the market, and have become free adventurers.

Territories that have not been destroyed by monsters can be reclaimed through the system.

Revert to a hub of order.

It stands to reason.

The price of an Order Nexus is extremely valuable to survivors.

However, due to Cheng Shen's change in the survival pattern of this group of survivors, he accelerated the market construction process.

As a result, the number of survivors who are now surviving is much higher than in previous batches.

In the past, when a survivor raised the territory to level 3 and opened the trade market, I am afraid that there would not be many survivors left.

And the rest of the people will not easily give up well-developed territory.

Therefore.

The number of order hubs in circulation is quite scarce.

Basically, it can only be obtained by invading the Chaos Lord, which can be obtained with a very small chance.

But in Cheng Shen's batch, many people have the opportunity to choose.

To acquire this Nexus of Order, he only paid the price of a set of rare equipment.

In addition, he has an extra one in reserve.

[Do you want to build a dependent territory?] 】

……

The blue ball of light in Cheng Shen's hand emitted a bright light, shining on the woodland in front of him.

"Yes!"

The roar from the ground echoed his affirmation, and a hut with a simple courtyard slowly rose from the ground.

[Dependent Territories Built!] 】

[Permissions have been synced!] 】

[You can set up a manager for this territory!] 】

……

Cheng Shen didn't do anything, and first put forward a batch of materials from the territory to raise the level of the central building of this subsidiary territory to the third level.

Level 3 Territory.

in order to accommodate the huge population of this goblin race.

Soon after, a number of luxurious dwellings were built for the goblin people to live in.

- The effect of luxury houses is not only reflected in recruitment, but also in the ordinary residents who live in them, and gradually increase their attributes over time.

With this batch of ready-made goblins, he also saved a batch of food needed for recruitment.

"You live here first, food, tools, I will provide you, but you must understand that none of this is free."

Cheng Shen said bluntly to Weiman.

"Understood!"

Wiman looked at everything in front of him and was not satisfied.

A wide world.

Comfortable residence.

And the food that was being delivered in truckloads.

"That's flour? That's vegetables!? ”

Viman, who had eaten almost only one type of food for decades, had his eyes straight.

Not only him, but the goblin people who fled the wilderness behaved even more unbearable, and their eyes began to turn green.

If it weren't for the deterrence of heavily armed soldiers, I am afraid that it would have caused a commotion.

It's just that in this territory, the trees that haven't been cleared are a bit dense, and some obstruct the vision, but their surviving goblin people are not completely helpless, and it is not difficult to cut down a single tree.

"What do you need us to do?"

Wiman said immediately.

"You should first count a list of personnel for me as soon as possible."

Cheng Shen said.

"Among them, those who can participate in labor are marked with the fields of work they are good at, and what I need most is talents in scientific research."

He emphasized.

Hearing Cheng Shen's intentions, Weiman patted his chest and said with confidence: "Our goblin clan is all geniuses who are proficient in research!" ”

Of course, Cheng Shen did not deny what he said.

However, being enslaved for hundreds of years, severely restricting development, only he knows how much water is in his words.

Cheng Shen didn't break it either.

At least, the level of research they show on the surface alone is worth his effort.

Treat the disease first.

Cheng Shen took out all the healing props in the territory, the first ring of magic purification, and the second ring of magic healing light waves, the combination of these two magic can basically cure the diseases on most goblins and restore them to health.

And the abyssal pollution that has been trapped in their bodies can only be gradually healed through long-term body metabolism.

Cheng Shen specially set up a medical team to take charge of this matter.

Take advantage of the leisure.

He awakens the consciousness of the clones left behind in the underworld.

……

A blood-red horror gradually became clear.

Cheng Shen twisted his somewhat stiff neck.

Look around.

There are no signs of intrusion in the passage behind the slaughterhouse.

It's been an hour, isn't the revenge of the mysterious force yet yet?

He controls the doppelganger to stand up.

Cheng Shen was ready to sacrifice this doppelganger, and the strength of the separation that remained was not high, and at this time, it was somewhat laborious to control this body containing huge blood energy.

However, the impact is not too severe.

It's a real fight.

He only needs to disintegrate the clone into a river of blood or a blood mist form, and rely on the poison of burning blood and the madness of septic blood to fight the output.

It doesn't matter what you do.

This distinction basically plays a role in control and activation.

Walking down the steps, the dark river in front of me was still flowing gently as always.

But Cheng Shen soon realized that something was wrong.

The coffin is a little less.

The black coffins floating in the dark river are hundreds of mouthfuls, and they are connected in a mighty way, and it is difficult to notice suddenly dozens of coffins.

However, Cheng Shen has become accustomed to recording all the details.

He suddenly took two steps back.

Bow your head and take a closer look at the edge of the steps at your feet, which have long since been corroded to ink.

You can faintly see some slender and damp paw prints on it.

Like,

Something has tried to crawl out of the water.

"What's in the coffin alive?"

Cheng Shen guessed.

The ancestral remains of those temple outcasts have long been rotten and only a handful of bones and slag remain, and this has been awakened?

There must have been something going on here......

Call!

A fine bead of blood oozed from his body, which fell into the air and quickly shattered into an ethereal mist, and then, the area covered by the blood mist began to expand at an alarming rate, and in the blink of an eye, a haze that covered the sky and the sun was formed.

Tides of fog clinging to the caverns and rushing through the dark river.

This.

The monster in the river did not appear.

Only the dark skeletal faces appeared silently under the water, as if waiting for the substitute ghost to drag people into the water, silent.

Cheng Shen ignored them.

Drifting directly towards the Hall of Bones in the distance.

Just approached.

He noticed that there were large patches of wet footprints on the ground in front of the temple, and the black liquid flowing from the footprints seemed to be corrosive, eroding the ground into deep pits, and there were twisted creatures still wriggling in the pits.

"After I left, the monsters in the dark river seem to have sent units to inspect this place......"

Cheng Shen made a note of this in his heart.

Keep digging deeper.

He saw that the dark footprints only stayed at the entrance of the main hall, and did not come any closer.

It was as if an invisible force was stopping it.

However, Cheng Shen was very sure that there were no other formations in this bone hall except for his arrangement.

The only thing that can stop it is the influence of an external factor......

The blood mist gradually seeped into the main hall, and Cheng Shen carefully inspected every corner.

The first thing he went to was the top floor where the treasure trove was placed.

"Huh? The formation has been triggered! ”

Cheng Shen looked for it.

Suddenly.

A puddle of clear liquid that was melting and seeping into a crack in the ground appeared before him.

Cheng Shen stretched out his hand and twisted a wisp of transparent liquid, there was a slippery gelatinous texture, and he couldn't see the attributes, and he didn't receive any kill prompts.

It looks like the remnants of some creature left behind by accident.

Extrapolated from distance.

It is likely that when this monster tried to destroy the formation, it was knocked away by the attack of the formation, fell here, and then splashed on the ground......

Cheng Shen could already imagine that picture in his mind.

After inspecting the treasure house, he was even more sure of this, the monster was indeed blocked by the formation.

Cheng Shen was not surprised.

The formation he casually arranged could reach the second level, and it was more than enough to wipe out ordinary lord units.

If you don't have a certain strength, if you want to forcibly break the formation, you will only be killed by the power of the formation. The monster tried once, but didn't strike again.

It's kind of smart.

layer 1.

In the side hall where the pool was built, Cheng Shen found similar traces again, transparent slime remained at the edge of the pool, and there was originally a psychic ship in the pool, but now it is gone.

"This monster came ashore from here......"

Cheng Shen concluded.

The pool was surrounded on all sides by stone walls, but he had seen the strange man try to board the boat and escape.

Naturally, there is no doubt that this pool has a strange ability to teleport.

However, the other psychic ship was still on Cheng Shen's body, and he couldn't try it now.

After Cheng Shen stayed for a short time, he controlled the blood mist and rushed towards the dungeon.

Burst......

He left the side hall for about ten seconds.

With a soft sound, a transparent circle of light slowly dissipated in midair.

Covered in transparent slime, the head was huge, and a mushroom-like bump of monsters emerged from it.

A pair of dark blue pupils in its swollen and narrowed eyes looked at the direction of Cheng Shen's departure, as if a scene flashed.

"Gollum?"

A string of bubbles rose from the translucent head like a liquid.

"Gollum!"

It seemed to be communicating with some being, floating in place, and from time to time there was a strange noise, and after a while, a black and red envelope suddenly squeezed out of its body and fell to the ground in a swaying manner.

Followed by.

It turned around and floated into the pool, quickly sinking to the bottom and vanishing.

"It's a scouting creature."

Half of Cheng Shen's head squeezed out of the ceiling abruptly, and his eyes looked coldly at the place where the monster disappeared.

He had already spotted the monster when he had just entered the side hall.

Even if his clone couldn't activate the power of energy control, how could the pervasive blood mist ignore the existence of such a large foreign body?

It was only because he sensed that its strength was very weak, unlike a thug who was waiting to attack him in ambush here, so Cheng Shen did not rashly alarm it.

Immediately.

The blood mist fell.

Roll up the envelope on the ground and send it to Cheng Shen.

The envelope was like soaking in blood for a long time, blackened by blood, the paper was old, and a constantly changing mass of red ink mud was like flowing blood plasma, and a strange mark was faintly outlined on it.

【Devil's Invitation】

……

Cheng Shen can only see such a name through the system.

After thinking about it, he was just a clone, and any attack would not affect the body.

Cheng Shen didn't hesitate to reach out and take the envelope and open it directly.

Half of a torn yellowed sheet of paper appeared in the envelope, and it was pulled out, and the handwriting on it was clearly visible.

"It doesn't matter who you are or what purpose you have ruined this place, but when you read this letter, it means that the trade between us can continue, and in return you will receive the power of the gods......"

……

When Cheng Shen took out the letter, the mutation had already begun.

The blood-red writing on the letter paper twisted like tadpoles, and then gradually became a kind of handwriting that was somewhat familiar but completely unintelligible.

Cheng Shen only glanced at it and instantly recalled it.

This is the Devil's Text!

Similar style of writing had appeared in the materials he had looted in the Bone Hall before!

The devil text quickly flew out of the letter paper and attached to Cheng Shen's hand, Cheng Shen subconsciously wanted to throw away the letter, but he didn't expect that the broken half of the letter paper was also strange, and it was tightly attached to his fingers.

With those devilish texts hidden under his skin.

Call!

The yellowed page suddenly burst into flames.

The content on it became complete, and it was a contract signed with his real name "Cheng Shen" and another unfamiliar name!

The contract quickly burned to ashes.

A system prompt sounds.

【Warning! You've made a pact with a devil! 】

……

Even the prompts given by the system are warnings, which shows how serious the harm of this devil's contract is.

But Cheng Shen was a little inexplicable.

He just glanced at it, and he didn't even know what the devil was proposing to make a deal.

Why did you suddenly sign a contract?

The contract, he has not used it, but it must be signed by both parties.

It is a legal contract only after it is signed.

However.

This devil's contract actually breaks the rules defined by the system!

He glanced at his status, and a prominent mark appeared in his character panel.

[Devil's Contract: Passive, you need to meet some of the devil's requirements, but you will inevitably get the same amount of reward as you pay]

……

Just look at this note.

It seems that this so-called devil's pact is quite fair and reasonable.

However, with Cheng Shen's experience, he should not be too sensitive to the text traps in this contract.

First of all, a single requirement that must be fulfilled by the devil can trap people to death!

"The abilities of this race are really unguardable."

Cheng Shen frowned secretly.

Arjeka introduced the devil to such a terrible cunning, and he undoubtedly knew it well now.

"I've written it down."

Cheng Shen nodded.

Although he didn't know how he was forced to sign the contract, the devil shouldn't have thought that it would be so easy to get hold of him, and he shouldn't have revealed his real name.

The radiance under the eyes quickly dissipates.

Subsequently, Cheng Shen's entire body also fell apart as quickly as a sandcastle that had lost its support.

However, his collapsed body did not turn into a river of blood to spread, in order to avoid raising a terrifying flesh monster in this environment full of pollution and distortion, Cheng Shen directly wiped out the life fluctuations of this body.
