Hearing Shao Ci's swear words, the corner of the Demon King's mouth curved slightly, but then disappeared. If Shao Ci hadn't been staring at his face nervously, he might have missed this subtle expression change.
Was that a joke just now... Shao Ci was extremely shocked in his heart.
The last time he escaped by accident, Shao Ci thought that what the other party said to think about it was just casually, and he never thought that the other party would appear in front of him again. Otherwise, he would have already thought about countermeasures, how could he be reduced to the point where he can only adapt to the situation now.
"It's not that easy to be my partner, let alone you are still a human being." The devil said lightly, with natural arrogance in his tone, "I have to pass at least three tests before I can start thinking about it."
Shao Ci really wanted to say, you don't have to think about it and just pretend it never happened. But if he said that, he would definitely be killed directly!
Up to now, we can only continue to follow the other party's words. And why do these people like to do some kind of test so much... Although as a brave man, he shamelessly pretended to be the demon king's admirer in order to survive, but now there is no other way!
Shao Ci, who has already witnessed the strength of the Demon King and the ruthlessness of his attacks, has no intention of daring to resist.
"It's a great honor for you to give me such an opportunity." Shao Ci made a look of being flattered, and looked at the past with that kind of stupid eyes, "I'm so happy! Although I'm just an ordinary human being, I I will definitely work hard."
Although the recent world has become more and more salty, Shao Ci's acting skills are still barely passable, not to mention the system's plug-ins make his acting skills more real, so even the devil didn't see the unnatural aspects of Shao Ci. place.
"Huh, it's good if you know about it." The Demon King reached out and lifted Shao Ci's chin, and said, "You are the first person to propose to me in thousands of years. If you are too weak, it will be too embarrassing." .”
Shao Ci: "..." This, this demon king has been single for thousands of years...
After all, although he has such a perfect appearance and incredible strength, such a personality is hard to bear.
For a moment, Shao Ci actually felt a bit of pity for the Demon King in his heart.
But the next moment, he felt that he was the first to propose to such a demon king, and he was actually quite miserable! You are not qualified to sympathize with the Demon King, right
"You have barely completed the first test now." Demon King Yufeng turned around, "Although you are not my official fiancé yet, you are no longer a casual person. If you mess around with anyone else, I will I won't let you go."
In the end, there was already a cold killing intent in his pair of heterochromatic pupils.
Shao Ci felt that if the devil found out about his messing around, he would definitely kill him ruthlessly right away. The price!
He began to rejoice that he was not too enthusiastic about Ewings, otherwise he would have been killed just now.
Even a god can't know what he's doing all the time, so the devil who is the villain boss is definitely not omniscient and omnipotent, as long as he pays attention to it, it should be fine.
In short, let's settle this matter first, Shao Ci immediately violated his conscience and said without hesitation: "How could I do such a thing!"
He also stretched out his hand to hold the Demon King's hand, and said sincerely: "I am absolutely sincere to you, and I don't pay attention to other people at all."
Originally, Shao Ci was still thinking about saying a few more words that were so disgusting that he was embarrassed, but the other party's pointed ears turned crimson quickly.
The Demon King, who was supposed to be aloof and ruthless... was actually shy.
Shao Ci: "..." Ah, although the other party blushed directly when he touched the horn of the devil before, but that was a direct stimulation to a sensitive part, and it is normal for the face to turn red uncontrollably.
But now it's just a hand touch! To be ashamed...
Shao Ci suddenly realized that maybe, this demon king... is quite innocent...
"I will believe your words this time." The Demon King quickly adjusted and looked at Shao Ci firmly, "But if there is any falsehood in your words, I will never forgive you."
"And..." Shao Ci said again: "But, but I am a hero, and my task is to deal with these monsters. Should I let them go?"
"No need." The Demon King said coldly: "The scum that can be killed by you has no need to exist in this world at all."
Shao Ci: "...!"
"You don't have to worry about my affairs." The devil said lightly, "If I can't even deal with you, then I'm worse than those scum."
Shao Ci: "..." Is this comforting him
Then the devil said in a cold tone: "The next test may come at any time, you prepare for me, and I will leave first."
When Shao Ci woke up again, he was still in the oasis.
Shao Ci found himself pillowing on Ewings' lap, while the other party was looking into the distance with extremely cold eyes.
Those were the eyes Shao Ci hadn't seen on him for a long time, and he couldn't help being stunned.
The next moment, Ewing, who noticed Shao Ci waking up, suddenly changed his expression, and said with a smile as usual: "I was actually fainted by the sun. To some extent, Lord Brave is really powerful."
Shao Ci was already used to Ewing's words, so he ignored them, covered his forehead that was still aching, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
Looking at the surrounding scene, he seemed to have fallen into hallucinations when fetching water.
I don't know what the devil did to him, and he could be forced into the spiritual world from such a long distance. In short, Shao Ci felt that he should pay more attention now.
[It doesn't matter, when there is no medium, the devil can only do this kind of thing when the host's spirit is extremely exhausted, and the host doesn't need to care about it at all. Of course, if there is anything related to the demons around, then be careful. ] I don’t know if it’s because it might affect the task, but the system actually jumped out to explain.
Shao Ci: "!" Ah, it will save a lot of trouble.
"I haven't slept for long." Ewings said casually, with a bit of regret in his tone, "I wanted to appreciate the appearance of Mr. Brave when he fell asleep."
"You have appreciated this enough!" Shao Ci couldn't help but complain.
"Of course you can't get enough of Mr. Brave's sleeping face." Ewings said something that embarrassed Shao Ci quite naturally, and then said: "It's so late and it's inconvenient to hurry, I'm here tonight have a rest."
At night, more powerful monsters will come out of the lair, and they will be more violent than during the day.
Of course, Ewings is not afraid of these low-level monsters, but the more intense magic energy at night will have a bad effect on humans, so he made such a suggestion.
"I think so too." Shao Ci nodded, stood up and wanted to find food, but because he was too exhausted, he didn't want to move a step.
"There's no need to look for any food." Ewings pulled Shao Ci, hugged him into his arms, and smiled slightly, "I already checked around when Mr. Brave fell asleep, and I found the food by the way. .”
"Eh?" Shao Ci almost looked at it with astonished eyes, he didn't know if he was still hallucinating.
Ewings handed Shao Ci a plate of beautiful fruit that had been washed with water droplets. Seeing Shao Ci's shocked eyes, he was a little unhappy, and said directly: "If it is Mr. Brave, there must be nothing wrong with it. If you can’t find it, you will be in danger.”
Although Shao Ci really wanted to refute, he actually felt that what Ewings said was very reasonable... After all, he had zero experience in wild life! How is it possible to find something to eat.
"If the brave man dies, I will be in a very troublesome situation after signing the contract, so I made a move... It's really troublesome to find it with such a body, and it's very hard for me." Ewings bowed his head He leaned in front of Shao Ci, with a faint smile on his beautiful and delicate face, "So, Mr. Brave, come and reward me?"
"You..." Shao Ci had a bad feeling, "What do you want me to do?"
"I just want to feed the brave man." Einstein said swayingly: "It's not the first time anyway, doesn't it matter?"
Such Ewings made Shao Ci feel more used to it, and he nodded hesitantly.
With Shao Ci's permission, Ewing smiled happily, bit half of the fruit, leaned over and kissed Shao Ci, and delivered the fruit to his mouth like this.
Shao Ci: "...!" Hey, it's like this! If it happened to be seen by the Demon King, it would be over!
Although the taste of the fruit is a bit sour, it is still good overall.
After eating and drinking enough, Shao Ci stretched his waist, and lay directly in Ewings' arms, muttering half asleep, "I just fell asleep, and I will trouble you for the night watch." Fell into a deep sleep, not worried about whether Ewings would do anything.
Ewings reached out and gently stroked Shao Ci's cheek, his eyes suddenly became more gentle. He stretched out his hand to straighten Shao Ci's soft hair that was blown by the wind, and lowered his head to kiss the other's fair forehead.
Just thinking about what happened in the oasis before, Ewings' eyes became much colder. As a nightmare, of course he can clearly distinguish whether a person is sleeping or has been done something.
It is estimated that only that person can have such a powerful magic energy.
Before he knew it, Shao Ci had provoked such a powerful character again.
Speaking of which, he was really jealous of those monsters that still had demonic energy and needed Shao Ci to purify them.
When Ewings realized it, he realized that he had sighed.
Ewings' expression was stunned for a moment. In the past, he never thought about such a thing, and never thought that one day he would care so much about a human being.
—
The next day soon arrived, and the two arrived in a nearby village smoothly.
This was originally an isolated village. But in recent years, due to the spread of news about the underground ruins in the desert, many foreign adventurers have ushered in. Now it is much more lively than before. Not only have hotels where adventurers live, there are even adventurers. There are many things sold in the trading market.
"It's really amazing." Shao Ci looked at the things sold in the market with a feeling of amazement. He thought that he would see a rather primitive village when he came here, but he didn't expect it to be not bad.
Ewings disappeared as soon as he came in. As a nightmare, he didn't like to transform into a figure in the outside world. In order to be by Shao Ci's side, he often did things he didn't like.
And in such a place where people are mixed, he simply left, so as not to reveal his identity and cause a lot of trouble. Although he can easily solve these troubles if he wants to, but if he kills someone, Shao Ci will definitely be unhappy.
It's quite aggrieved to think that a powerful high-level demon can reach the level of Ewings.
Shao Ci didn't know what Ewings was thinking at all, and walked quickly towards the tavern where the adventurers gathered.
The underground ruins were really too big, and he didn't know how long it would take him to find out the layout by himself. Now, if he wanted to find it as quickly as possible, he would of course need the help of other people.
After Shao Ci walked into the tavern, he didn't attract anyone's attention at all. After all, he looked so thin, he didn't look like a powerful guy, but like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Shao Ci asked the bartender directly, "Excuse me, are there any adventurers who have stayed here for a long time and know how to get to the underground palace in the deepest part of the underground ruins?"
Before the bartender could answer, the people around burst into laughter. A red-haired man with a scar on his face immediately mocked: "Little guy, you still want to go to the underground palace? I'm afraid you haven't entered the ruins yet." You've already lost half your life."
The scarred man seemed to be very prestigious in the tavern, and the others also laughed, "Even the famous Scarred Jack can only enter the outermost periphery of the palace. Self-knowledge is better."
"That's right, the monsters outside the underground palace are already powerful at level five. I'm afraid you kid will pee your pants in fright if you see level one monsters."
From the words of these people, Shao Ci quickly figured out a few things. It seems that the underground palace is the most dangerous place in this ruins, and the fourth-tier fighters in this place are already the most powerful existences.
It seems that the relationship is too remote. Those who are really powerful will not come to such a place to take risks. Only adventurers with such strength will come here to look for opportunities.
"Really?" Shao Ci looked directly at the scarred Jack, walked in front of him, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "It seems that you are the one who knows how to get to the underground palace."
"So what?" Scarred Jack drank another sip of wine, his eyes were ironic, "Do you think I will take you there?"
Shao Ci directly took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it on the table, and the eyes of the people around him were straightened.
Although this gold coin is nothing in the eyes of the nobles, these people may not be able to earn a gold coin even after several years in other places in the past. This gold coin can be said to be a huge sum of money in the eyes of the poor. up.
"Do you think you can buy me with a gold coin?" Scar Jack sneered, "I, Scar Jack, will not be moved by this mere gold coin. If you want to die, you can go to those guys over there. Willing to help."
"Then, what about this?" Shao Ci didn't feel frustrated because of his refusal. He picked up the gold coin, and suddenly a cluster of flames sprang up in his palm. The temperature rose several degrees.
And the gold coins in the flames instantly melted into liquid.
The whole tavern fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at this side dumbfounded.
"Demon, magician..." I don't know how long it took before someone realized it, and said in an extremely shocked tone, "He is actually a magician!"
Everyone's eyes changed in an instant, and many people who originally thought about killing people and stealing goods after Shao Ci left the house also gave up their thoughts.
The status of a magician is quite high, which is not comparable to these fighters at all, and judging by the power of Shao Ci's magic, he is probably still a high-level magician.
"How could it be, how could such a noble lord come to this ruined place."
"Generally speaking, shouldn't magicians enjoy themselves under the hands of nobles? Why would this lord..."
For a while, everyone had such thoughts in their hearts, and they even unconsciously gave Shao Ci a respectful title. Then thinking that he was still mocking Shao Ci just now, all of them turned pale, wishing they could just leave, for fear that Shao Ci would make trouble for them.
If they knew that Shao Ci was actually a brave man, they would probably be scared to death.
And Scar Jack had already been sluggish, and the wine glass in his hand fell directly on the table, "Master Magician?" Then his eyes suddenly showed excitement, "Are you really going to the underground palace? ?! Please let me lead the way!"
After saying this, Scar Jack's expression suddenly became vigilant, and he dragged Shao Ci to the guest room on the second floor.
"My lord, you must have come here for something very important, and you must not be heard by those damned mice." Scar Jack said quickly as if he was afraid of Shao Ci's misunderstanding.
Shao Ci nodded, "Actually, my purpose is to go to the depths of the underground palace. You just need to lead the way. It doesn't matter if you find more companions. The price is whatever you want."
When he said the last sentence, Shao Ci was really happy. Now that he has Shengdu as the backstage, he is not short of money at all. I just don't know how long this backstage can last under the condition that the identity of the brave is problematic...
"There is no reward at all." Scar Jack's expression suddenly became serious, "As long as I can enter the underground palace and avenge the tragic death of those companions, it doesn't matter if I don't come back this time."
"Eh?" Shao Ci didn't expect that a character who looked like a passerby would have such a bitter and bitter past, "Well, can you tell me about the underground palace in detail?"
"Okay." Scar Jack seemed to be recalling the painful past, "In that underground palace, there is an extremely terrifying monster. Compared with him, those powerful monsters outside are not worth mentioning."
Shao Ci asked puzzledly: "He?" In the language of this world, its pronunciation is still different from his, so Shao Ci noticed this place all at once.
"Yes." Scar Jack nodded, "Master Mage also knows...that is a high-level monster, a terrifying existence with a human form and intelligence far surpassing that of low-level monsters."
Shao Ci became vigilant for a while, "You actually know about high-level monsters? Most people don't know about such things, right?"
"I only found out about it after that incident happened." Jack the Scar was lost in the memory, his expression becoming more and more painful, "At that time, our group finally entered the underground palace, and we thought we could escape like this. We made a lot of money, but unexpectedly, we met that terrifying monster who disguised himself as a human and led us to the most dangerous place."
"High-level monsters are so powerful, do they still need traps to harm people?" Shao Ci couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"No, he's just playing with us." Scarred Jack's face turned pale, but he still said firmly: "Seeing us humans struggling makes this monster excited. Afterwards, everyone died, only me People escaped... I am not willing to leave like this, I must take revenge."
"After that, I stayed in this village, hoping to find a powerful adventurer. Until today, I finally met you. If you have your magic, even high-level monsters can fight!"
"I see." Shao Ci nodded. Although these high-level monsters have a human form, they never show any mercy to humans, and they just regard them as prey that can be killed wantonly.
"My lord magician, now that you know that there are such terrifying monsters in the underground palace, will you still go there?" Scarred Jack asked a little nervously.
"Of course I will go!" Shao Ci said without hesitation: "Just like you, I also have reasons for going."
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to complete the mission of the holy capital and purify a monster by the way! Besides, no matter how terrifying a monster is, can it be as scary as a demon king!
