Chapter 112: The Circle of Promise
Li Xiu and the others chose the opposite direction to the previous city gate and came to another city gate.
Before he got close to the city gate, he heard a faint sound of ghost crying.
The voice seemed to be mournful, as if it were a mournful cry from the underworld, and goosebumps rose for everyone who listened.
"There won't be a female ghost outside, will it?" Chu Jun's eyes lit up.
"There must be no female ghosts, maybe there are female demon spirits, what, what do you think?" Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun and smiled.
"When I was a child, my grandfather often told me stories about female ghosts repaying their kindness, and after listening to them a lot, it was inevitable that I wanted to join Feifei." Chu Jun was not reserved at all, and he smiled.
"I always thought that only the kind of man who didn't look good would have such thoughts, but I didn't expect you, a guy with clear eyebrows, to have such thoughts." Li Xiu laughed.
"You dare say you don't have such thoughts?" Chu Jun and Li Xiu glanced at each other, everything was silent, and they all laughed.
"Filthy." A bandit said coldly.
"Let's see what's out there." Li Xiu said to Chu Jun.
Chu Jun nodded, and used the inspiration skill to start sensing the outside.
After a while, the expression on Chu Jun's face became a little strange.
"What's going on?" Seeing that Chu Jun didn't speak, Li Xiu frowned and asked.
"There seem to be demons outside, and there are no demons...... Could it be ...... It's really a ghost ......," Chu Jun said with a strange expression.
"Well, are you reliable with your inspiration skills?" Li Xiu sighed.
"I used to think it was very reliable, but today I am not very confident." Chu Jun groaned and said: "Let's put it this way, I sensed that there was a demon spirit outside, but I couldn't sense its level and name, and there was a time when this demon spirit would appear within my perception range, and sometimes it suddenly disappeared, and after a while it was there again......"
After hearing this, Li Xiu turned around and left: "Let's go to the city gate in other directions." ”
The three of them ran to another city gate, and Chu Jun used his inspiration skill again.
"How?" Li Xiu and Ah Bandit both looked at him.
"I sensed it, there are a lot of demon spirits outside the city gate, at least thousands, let me sense the sense carefully...... Class E ...... D-Class ...... Grade C has ...... Boy...... Even the B and A grades...... There are all demon spirits within the sensing range, and if there are any outside the range, then I don't know......" Chu Jun said.
"Are you reliable?" Li Xiu listened to the silence outside the city gate, there was no sound at all, it was really hard to imagine that there would be so many demon spirits outside.
"I don't believe you're going to go out and have a look." Chu Jun pouted.
"There's only one last gate left." Li Xiu turned around and left, he didn't want to die.
Thousands of demon spirits are outside the gate, and if all of them rush in as soon as the city gate opens, it's hard to say whether there will be a chance to blow out the lanterns.
The three of them came to the last city again, and it was quiet outside the gate, and there was no sound at all.
Chu Jun lay on the inside of the city gate for a while before he got up and said to Li Xiu: "No, there is not a single demon spirit within a kilometer range. ”
Li Xiu and Ah Bandit looked at him and didn't speak.
"Don't look at me like that, it's really not, anyway, I'm a demon spirit and I don't feel it, you have to believe me." Chu Jun was a little anxious.
"Open the gates." Li Xiu summoned the Jedi, the Demigod Moment, and the Eros Marksman, and asked them to stand in a row inside the gate, in case the city gate opened and something rushed in, so that they could be on guard.
"Am I so untrustworthy?" Chu Jun said depressedly.
"If I don't believe you, I won't open the door." Li Xiu said with a smile while turning the winch with the bandit.
"But your actions make me feel like I'm not trusted." Chu Jun pouted.
"That's your mental problem, you have to learn to overcome it on your own." As he spoke, the gates were slowly raised, and it was quiet outside, and nothing happened.
"Huh!" Chu Jun lay on the ground, looking out from the gap below, and let out a sound of surprise.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiu didn't hear Chu Jun's voice like he was frightened, but more like he was a little surprised, so he didn't hurry to put down the winch.
"It's weird, you come and see for yourself." Chu Jun beckoned to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu asked the bandit to control the winch, came to the city gate, looked down at the outside, and suddenly sighed in surprise.
It was a long dark night in the Black Dead City, and there was no light at all except for the fire.
But outside the city gate, the setting sun was slanting, and the red sun hung on the side, and the clouds were like fiery clouds covering the sky.
The endless yellow desert outside is also covered with a layer of red in the setting sun, and the tall cactus plants in the distance stand quietly, like a beautiful desert style oil painting.
After fixing the winch, the bandit also walked over, and he was stunned when he saw the scene outside.
Inside and outside the city are like two worlds, one is the dark night, and the other is the desert at sunset.
Chu Jun looked at the sky inside the city, and then at the sky outside the city, and said with a strange expression: "Is this the same sky?" ”
"Not really." A bandit said.
"Is there a sea in the desert?" Li Xiu asked suddenly.
"I don't know, I've never seen an ocean in the desert, at most there's a lake." Chu Jun knew what Li Xiu meant, walked out of the city gate, looked left and right, and said, "It's really a strange thing, why can't you see that Black Sea here?" ”
"I'm afraid that the four gates here all lead to different places." Li Xiu asked the bandit to stay inside and guard the winch, and he also walked out, looked around and said.
All he could see was the desert, but unfortunately he couldn't see too far when he was wearing the Dark Mirror.
I took off my glasses and looked at them again, but there was yellow sand as far as the eye could see, and there was nothing else.
"It's a bit difficult to do, it doesn't seem like there is a single demon spirit nearby, and we don't have the tools to locate it, so if we just go out, if we get lost in the desert, it will be miserable if we can't come back then." Chu Jun groaned and said: "Four gates, the seaside is too dangerous, and there are no demon spirits here, there are female ghosts outside one door, and thousands of demon spirits outside the other door, this is not going to give us a way to live at all." ”
Li Xiu walked around the city gate, but he didn't dare to leave the city gate too far, and he didn't find anything like a demon spirit.
Chu Jun followed Li Xiu's side, and he also used inspiration skills to sense, and he also found no trace of the demon spirit.
Li Xiu was still thinking about whether it was possible that the demon spirit was hiding under the sand, but now it seems that this is not the case, there is indeed no demon spirit nearby.
"Let's go, let's go to the gate where there are many demon spirits, and you draw the location and level of the demon spirits." Li Xiu returned to the city, put down the city gate, and said to Chu Jun on the side.
"Okay." Chu Jun also knew that their best choice at the moment was to go out and hunt the demon spirits through that gate, otherwise they would have to go home.
When he came to the city gate, Chu Jun drew on the ground while sensing it, and drew the distribution of the demon spirits outside, directly using B, C, D, E to represent the location of the demon spirits.
"That's about it." Chu Jun drew the main demon spirit locations.
"Don't be rough, be careful, the location of each demon spirit is marked, and all E-level ones are also marked." Li Xiu said.
"Okay." Chu Jun nodded and continued to draw on the ground.
"City Lord, I've thought about it." Ye Yuzhen walked over, looked at Li Xiu and said slowly.
"What have you thought of?" Li Xiu got up and looked at Ye Yuzhen and asked.
"I will continue on the path of the trialist, my symbiotic contract is not good enough, there are no demon spirits, but these can be made up, if the symbiotic contract does not work, I will find the parasitic contract again, although the parasitic contract is difficult to grow, but I will definitely find a parasitic contract that suits me, no matter how difficult it is, I will do everything possible to make it grow." Ye Yuzhen looked at Li Xiu and continued: "I can't help you now, so I won't make trouble for you, if there is something I can do, you can call me at any time." ”
After that, Ye Yuzhen approached Li Xiu and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by Li Xiu: "My symbiosis contract is called the Ring of Promise, it is not a combat-type weapon, and it has no attack ability, but it can sign a contract with any demon spirit and let the demon spirit be used by me." ”
Li Xiu looked at Ye Yuzhen and thought, "Does he have any misunderstanding about the quality of the deed, if such a deed is not good, what other deed can be considered good?" ”
"There is a limit to the ring of promise, only the contract that I defeated with my own hands can sign a contract with it, and now I can defeat what kind of demon spirit?" Seeing Li Xiu's thoughts, Ye Yuzhen explained.
"Can you use foreign objects?" Li Xiu asked in a low voice.
"Both the contract and the demon spirit are fine, but they must be my own." Ye Yuzhen said.
"Where's the magic costume?" Li Xiu asked again.
"I don't have the talent of a disguiser." Ye Yuzhen said bitterly.
"What if the demon you defeated was a half-crippled demon?" Li Xiu thought about it and asked again.
"I've thought about this too, but I haven't had a chance to try it."
"That's easy, you'll have a chance to give it a try later." Li Xiu pointed to the picture that Chu Jun had drawn on the ground and said, "You first remember the location of those demon spirits, maybe it will be useful for a while." ”
"Okay." Ye Yuzhen walked over and stared at the location map of the demon spirit on the ground and began to remember.
Chu Jun marked the level and location of the demon spirits he could sense, and sat on the ground after finishing: "This is more tiring than fighting with demon spirits." ”
"Soon you'll be able to fight the demons." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"No, you really want me to rush out? Are you sure you won't die if you go out like this? My combat power is very weak, and I don't have as many demon spirits as you......" Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu with wide eyes.
"You don't have to rush out, but you have to help me guard the city gate, there are so many demon spirits, I will inevitably have omissions alone, in case a demon spirit rushes over, you have to guard the door with them, and you can't let the demon spirit rush in." Li Xiu said.
"I'll do my best, I don't know what level the demon spirit outside is, in case a glorious demon spirit rushes over, I can't stop it." Chu Jun said.
Li Xiu smiled, Chu Jun has a benefit, although sometimes it is a little inflated and a little unreliable. But at a critical time, there will never be nonsense, how much ability to do a lot of things, and never take care of everything.
"Okay, just do your best." Li Xiu smiled and nodded.
"You guard the door, I'll go out and have a look, open the door." Li Xiu said.
"You asked me to draw in such detail, don't you even look closely?" Chu Jun pointed to the map and said.
"No, you don't." Li Xiu came to the door and did not summon the demon spirit first.
He was lying next to the door, A Bandit and Ye Yuzhen turned the winch together, the stone door gradually rose, and Li Xiu looked out through the crack in the door.
It was a sunny morning outside, and it was still a little dazzling in the morning light, but fortunately, the dark mirror made Li Xiu's eyes not afraid of the sun, but he couldn't see it clearly.
But after seeing the situation outside, Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.
The imaginary group of demon spirits did not appear, let alone thousands of demon spirits, not even a single demon spirit.
Outside is a canyon with a fairly flat ground and almost ninety-degree vertical walls on both sides, at least a few hundred meters high.
"Strange, why aren't there any demons?" Chu Jun, who was also lying on the ground and looking out, instantly became unconfident.
Since arriving in the Black Dead City, his self-confidence has been hit again and again.
Li Xiu didn't speak, but just summoned the Black Death Demon and made the Black Death Demon rush forward.
The Black Death had barely gone far when a steaming green skeleton suddenly emerged from underground.
It was also a bit inaccurate to say that it was a skeleton, it was more like a mechanical skeleton made of metal, very similar to the half-human, half-skeleton demon spirit that Li Xiu had killed before.
It's just that this skeleton doesn't have half of a human, its entire body is a metal machine, its body is bubbling green, and there is a green heart in its chest.
It was still holding a large metal syringe in both hands.
Yes, it is the kind of syringe used by doctors for injection, but this syringe is a bit big, as thick as an arm, the piston core is opened, and the needle at the front end is at least one meter two.
Inside the pinhole at the tip of the needle, green smoke is still emitting.
When the Black Dead came out, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and strange mechanical skeletons in the valley rose from the ground.
They all look much the same, and all of them hold metal syringes in their hands.
Fortunately, none of them have any brilliance on them, not even the Flowing Colored Demon Spirits, they are just ordinary Demon Spirits.
A mechanical skeleton demon spirit at the front rushed straight over, holding a metal syringe, and stabbed the Black Death at him.
The Black Death shattered the shackles with both hands, and the broken black crystal chain turned into a light whip, which was whipped on the mechanical skeleton demon, directly breaking it at the waist.
The Black Death was so powerful that he tore the mechanical skeletons apart, and none of them could be whipped by him.
Suddenly, four metal arms stretched out from the Black Death's feet, two of which grabbed his left foot and two of which grabbed his right foot.
The Black Death struggled twice, but couldn't break free.
In his distraction, a C-class mechanical skeleton rushed over from the side and stabbed the Black Dead with a needle.
Li Xiu didn't summon other demon spirits to rescue, just watched calmly.
"I'll just tell you, let you take a closer look at the map, and you won't listen." Chu Jun sighed.
Li Xiu didn't speak, he knew the location of all the mechanical skeletons well, he knew that there were mechanical skeletons underneath, if he deliberately controlled it, the Black Dead would not walk over.
The reason why he knew that there was a demon spirit and let the Black Death Demon step into it was because Li Xiu wanted to know what the use of the contents of those metal syringes was.
Not figuring out what was inside the syringe, he didn't worry about letting the other demons out to fight.
Theoretically, the Black Death has no body, his body is the armor on the outside, and the inside is a cloud of black gas, so he should not be afraid of poison.
If the metal syringe contains venom, it should be useless against the Black Death.
But when the metal syringe was plunged into the Black Dead's body, and the mechanical skeleton pushed the piston rod and injected the contents into the Black Dead's body, a strange scene happened.
Green gas rose from the part where the Black Death was pierced, and he snapped off the C-class mechanical skeleton's arm, but the green gas on his body was still spreading.
From the pinhole, you can see a green pattern spreading across the Black Death armor.
Everywhere those green patterns went, the Black Death's original black armor gradually turned green and metallic.
"What's inside a metal syringe that can metalize other life?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.
He had seen a demon spirit that could use magic light to metalize matter before, but it was the first time he had seen a demon spirit that could use a syringe to metalize life like this.
Although the level of these demon spirits is not high, and there is no grade, but the contents of the syringe can actually make all the bright demon spirits hit, which is a bit amazing.
The green metal spread across the Black Death's body, not fast, but showing no signs of stopping.
The Black Death Demon was still fighting, and Li Xiu summoned it back with a thought.
The Black Death Demon turned into a demon spirit ring and returned to Li Xiu's fingers, and the black crystal-like ring had a little green on it, and the position of that bit of green was metallic, and it was still spreading.
"What a powerful thing!" Li Xiu summoned the Demigod Moment and the Eros Marksman, but did not summon the Jedi.
The Jedi is a melee after all, and this situation is not very suitable.
Both Demigod Instant and Eros Marksman can attack purely from range, giving the mechanical skeletons no chance.
The two demon spirits stood guard in front of the city gate, shooting wildly at the hordes of demon spirits rushing towards them.
At the beginning, Chu Jun and the others were worried that there were too many mechanical skeletons, and the two demon spirits might not be able to deal with it.
But when he saw that the demigods shot one by one in an instant, constantly bursting the hearts of the mechanical skeletons, and the Eros Marksman constantly causing those mechanical skeletons to kill each other, Chu Jun's eyes widened.
"This demon spirit is really ...... It's ...... absolutely you" Chu Jun's envious saliva was about to flow out.
Ye Yuzhen was even more shocked, the video of the demon costume master slaughtering the demon spirit can be found a lot of it by searching on the Internet.
But now it was the demon spirit slaughtering the demon spirit, and the two demon spirits still belonged to the same human being, and he had never seen such a scene.
The domineering of the demigod and the strange light arrow of the Eros archer both shocked Ye Yuzhen, and he was even more sure that he would continue on the path of the trialist.
The disguiser still needs to go into battle on his own, but the trialist doesn't have to do it himself at all, he only needs to summon the demon spirit to solve all the problems.
"Trialist...... It can also be strong...... so strong that even the magic costume masters of the same level are beyond their reach......" Looking at the back in front of the city gate, Ye Yuzhen's eyes became more and more determined.
