The next ten days were unexpectedly smooth.
There were no dangerous high-level monsters at all, not even powerful low-level monsters. Not to mention the direct subordinates of the Demon King who appeared in Shao Ci's memory in the original work.
Not even a few personnel were lost, and the crowd had already arrived outside the Demon King's city.
Although it is probably daytime now, this area is still like night. The sky is full of dark clouds that cannot be dispersed, and it is full of a gloomy atmosphere.
Unlike other elated priests, Shao Ci was in a bad mood.
This f*cking thing is simply a problem visible to the naked eye, how could it be so ordinary. According to his experience, troublesome things will definitely happen after entering, and it will definitely be more troublesome than facing so many high-level monsters outside.
After all, it's much easier to set traps in enclosed spaces inside.
However, even if they knew there would be danger, they couldn't leave. After everyone repaired, they entered the city.
The demonic energy in the city was so strong that everyone had to use magic to protect their surroundings. The strong air pressure made it almost impossible to breathe.
But what is completely different from the wind and rain is the layout of the city. There are only a few low-level monsters in the open space, which are easily killed by a few low-level magic arts.
Now it's not just Shao Ci, even other people are aware of the strangeness, as long as people with normal IQ know that something is wrong. This is simply the rhythm of the demon king opening the gate and letting them pass directly.
You can almost see the Demon King's palace from this place, just like what Shao Ci saw in his dream. It's just not an easy task to get there.
Everyone couldn't help hesitating. No one would think that other monsters were afraid of them. After all, in the thousands of years of confrontation between the Holy Capital and the Demon King, countless people had already been sacrificed.
Then go forward, there is an empty hall, you can see the bronze statue of the griffin standing in the corner, and the thick black mist seems to wrap around the entire hall, with a chilly atmosphere.
"Be careful, everyone." Wendell seemed to sense something was wrong, and said.
Almost as soon as his voice fell, the bronze statue of the griffin moved instantly, and a bloody magic circle lit up on the ground.
The magic spells that everyone had prepared for a long time greeted the griffin that suddenly took off, but when their attack fell on the griffin, the griffin was not damaged at all, but the magic circle on the ground It emitted a strong light.
"Oops! This is actually a teleportation array!" An anxious voice sounded from the oldest priest, "This griffin can absorb our power to open this teleportation array..."
Shao Ci had a feeling in his heart that it was so, the ground collapsed in the next moment, and everyone's bodies seemed to be dragged by some kind of force and couldn't move.
This kind of strange power generated during teleportation can be said to be the power of law, and it is difficult for a powerful character to break it when he is in it, unless it is the kind of person who has the power to influence the entire world.
However, at the next moment, a hand on the side suddenly grabbed Shao Ci's wrist. He saw Wendell's faint smile. Under the faint light around him, the appearance of the blond young man in front of him became more and more handsome, which made people almost suspicious. I am in a dream.
Shao Ci was stunned for a moment, and then he felt relieved. Wendell is not an ordinary person. He has the halo of the protagonist on his body, and he is the child of destiny (although Shao Ci suspects that since he transmigrated, this article has changed from cool article to It is not surprising that it can do this.
"I will definitely protect you." Wendell's voice sounded.
Shao Ci wanted to reply, but found that he couldn't speak, and then his eyes went dark under the power of the teleportation, and he lost consciousness directly.
—
When he woke up again, Shao Ci found himself lying on the ground, his body still aching, as if he had been beaten.
"Where was this teleported?" Shao Ci supported the wall next to him and stood up, looking around.
This place seems to be like a labyrinth, dark and lit by oil lamps at a distance.
"Wow..." Shao Ci is the worst at dealing with this kind of place, such a dark place always makes people feel that there will be strange things popping up out of nowhere.
"Aren't the others around here..." Shao Ci walked forward while supporting the wall, when he suddenly heard a strange sound, and his body froze immediately.
"No, I can't be so cowardly." Shao Ci took a deep breath, "They're just monsters, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
He mustered up the courage to walk towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a... skull in the light of the oil lamp.
"Ah!!" Shao Ci took several steps back in fright, and he suddenly realized something.
Wait, such a skeleton monster is just the lowest level monster! Even if it looks a little scary, it's nothing to be afraid of.
Shao Ci gritted his teeth and threw a purification technique at the skeleton monster opposite.
In an instant, the hideous-looking skeleton turned into a pile of powder without even struggling.
"Did you get killed in seconds by me..." Shao Ci still had some lingering fears.
Sure enough, it's just an ordinary monster. With such power, he doesn't need to be afraid of these hideous monsters.
Shao Ci suddenly had the confidence to escape alone, and continued walking in the maze.
Shao Ci walked forward for an unknown amount of time, killing many low-level monsters, and felt like he was about to get lost in this maze. The point is that he hasn't met anyone else along the way!
"It seems that everyone is separated. I don't know if they are all in this maze." Shao Ci sighed, "It seems that I can only rely on me this time."
Anyway, after being strengthened by inheritance, he is no longer the salty fish he was before. Now he can use a lot of powerful magic, and he doesn't have to worry about his body collapsing.
Just walking down like this, Shao Ci discovered that this maze is not an ordinary maze, and there is a strong magic energy attached to the walls. Moreover, some walls are carved with magic circles, which can make the walls move by themselves from time to time.
It can be seen that this maze is very old, and it is estimated that it has a long history. However, considering that the demons have been here for such a long time, it is not surprising that anything has happened.
"Damn it, if this continues, I won't be able to get out for the rest of my life!" Shao Ci hammered on the wall beside him in frustration.
Suddenly there was a devilish aura beside him. Shao Ci, who was already proficient in killing so many monsters, was just about to start, but suddenly stopped.
This demonic energy is different from the violent demonic energy of other low-level monsters. Instead, it is a bit gentle, and it feels like a higher-level creature than low-level monsters.
"Well..." Shao Ci cheered up, "If it's some intelligent high-level monster, can't I ask him to take me out?"
So Shao Ci stood there quietly, and the next moment he saw a red-haired boy coming out of the passage next to him.
This ragged, dirty-looking red-haired boy looked no different from a human, but his pointed ears showed his identity—this was a demon.
"...?!" Seeing Shao Ci standing here, the red-haired boy let out an exclamation, and then fled in the opposite direction in fear.
"Why are the demons so cowardly?" Shao Ci didn't expect the other party to react like this, so he hurried over with a binding spell.
Obviously, the red-haired demon boy didn't have any agility, so he was directly bound by the binding magic, struggling on the ground and unable to escape.
Humans only know that monsters are divided into low-level monsters and high-level monsters, and high-level monsters have power far beyond low-level monsters, and they can also take the form of humans, so they are also called demons.
But in the demon world, there are many demons born in human form, and some of them are quite weak. However, this kind of demon race basically cannot survive in the demon world where the weak eat the strong.
Shao Ci understood these things from some materials in the holy capital. He originally thought that he would never see the so-called weak demons in his life.
The red-haired boy who appeared in front of Shao Ci was obviously a demon, and he was also quite weak.
"Why are you here?" Shao Ci was very puzzled, such a weak demon clan should stay in the demon clan. But if you catch him now, you can solve your current problems.
"I, I... I don't know..." The red-haired demon boy looked very frightened, and what he blurted out was the demon language. Generally speaking, Shao Ci couldn't understand, but the translation provided by the system There is no problem under the device.
Shao Ci narrowed his eyes, "You have explained the situation to me honestly."
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow" the young man said timidly.
So under the intermittent words of the red-haired demon boy, Shao Ci almost understood the situation here.
It turned out that when the entrance to the Demon Realm was opened, part of the territory of the Demon Realm was also moved here, and this movement has not stopped until now. From time to time, the land of the Demon Realm is transferred here, and the residents basically have nothing to do.
Moreover, this kind of transfer is irregular and very wanton, so the demons have nothing to do with it. Anyway, it is enough not to cause large-scale casualties.
This young man named Griffey was just an ordinary demon who was transferred here not long ago. Because he was not familiar with the road conditions, he accidentally entered the maze called the forbidden area, and then met Shao Ci.
These are all things that were never mentioned in the original text, which gave Shao Ci a feeling of refreshing his three views for a while.
It turned out that the people of the Demon Race had no choice, and even the entrance to the Demon World was not opened by the people of the Demon Race, and the reason why they wanted to occupy this continent was precisely because there were signs of a merger between the Demon World and this continent.
Shao Ci: "..." Hey, is it okay to wipe out the demons so suddenly!
In this way, if the Demon King is successfully defeated, it is impossible to solve the crisis of this continent so easily. After all, this is already a situation where two worlds are coming together.
"Wait..." Shao Ci was startled, he suddenly thought of the most powerful existence in this world, the god everyone believed in.
Having already done that kind of thing, Shao Ci has every reason to believe that the last black hand who did all of this is the god, but why is he... Moreover, since there is such a powerful force, is there anyone who can kill him
The more Shao Ci thought about it, the paler his face became, and he felt as if he knew some secret that he should never know.
Forget it, he is going to leave this world anyway, it doesn't matter if he knows about this kind of thing.
So Shao Ci put the matter aside and pulled the trembling Griffey up, "You're right, I won't kill you."
Griffey looked up in surprise, "Really, really?"
Obviously, the people of the Demon Race also know that they are almost in an endless situation like humans.
"Yeah." Shao Ci wasn't crazy enough to attack a child, "You just have to tell me how to get out."
"But, but I also..." Griffey looked like he was about to cry.
"It's okay." Shao Ci patted him on the shoulder, his tone softened as much as possible. "You just have to go the way you came."
"Yeah, yeah." Griffey nodded, still looking worried.
After that, the two of them searched for the exit together, but it was obviously useless. The situation just changed from one person getting lost to two people getting lost.
Griffey was terrified all over, but his eyes were quiet when Shao Ci didn't pay attention. Obviously, his real character was not as ugly as he pretended to be before.
As long as he has the opportunity, he will run away without hesitation.
Griffey kept paying attention, and soon he found an opportunity. I saw that human being suddenly stopped, frowning slightly, and at the same time he didn't pay attention to his side.
After so long, the binding magic had almost been eaten away by Griffey's magic energy, so he seized this opportunity and ran forward quickly.
"Hey, wait—" Shao Ci's startled voice came from behind.
But how could Griffith let go of this opportunity and ran forward even faster. The next moment, a strong cold air hit him. He tripped over something and fell to the ground when he looked up. eyes.
Standing in front of his eyes was a monster formed by an extremely ferocious black shadow. The other party let out a roar, and was about to bite off the throat of the demon boy.
Griffey thought he was going to die, but immediately, the black figure in front of him was stabbed by an arrow of light, and with a wailing sound, his body quickly melted away, leaving no trace at all.
After witnessing all this, Griffey's body stiffened in an instant.
"Are you okay? I didn't expect such a powerful low-level monster to exist in this kind of place." Shao Ci just ran over and saw that the demon boy's ankle was red and swollen, so he subconsciously thought it was a healing ability.
Only this kind of ability can heal the demons. If Shao Ci uses the light healing technique, the opponent's feet may be finished.
"I, I'm fine..." Griffey obviously hadn't reacted yet, but when he saw the human being smiling slightly at him, tears immediately flowed down, and he threw himself into the opponent's arms and began to cry.
After the other party finished crying, Shao Ci held his hand and said softly, "Can you tell me where the exit is now?"
After all, Griffey was still young, and it was obvious when he was lying, but Shao Ci had been paying attention to his expression with all his mental strength at that time, so of course he knew that some of his words were lies.
But those things about the demon world are true, and it doesn't make sense for the other party to lie in this kind of place.
"Hmm." Griffey seemed a little embarrassed, bit his lower lip, and looked at Shao Ci, "But... if you go out, you will be killed by Lord Demon King."
"Even so, I have to leave here." Shao Ci patted the other party's head. He has always been more patient with such children.
Griffey nodded hesitantly, walked to the side, and said in a low voice: "The demons will not get lost in this maze, and the Lord Demon King generally does not throw humans here. You must be with other humans." It's not the same."
Shao Ci remembered the marriage proposal between himself and the Demon King, "..."
With Griffith's guidance, the subsequent journey went much smoother. Just as they were about to see the exit, a magic circle suddenly lit up on the ground.
"Oops." The magic circle restrained Shao Ci in an instant, and before he had time to dodge, he only heard Griffith's exclamation, and the power of teleportation had already started to work.
The surrounding scenes changed rapidly, and soon the surrounding scenes changed. The moment he arrived, Shao Ci almost fell to the ground, and was immediately supported by the people beside him.
"Wendel?" Shao Ci looked at the person who supported him in surprise.
Wendell breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine."
"This is? Where is this place..." Shao Ci turned his head and looked around, feeling a sudden in his heart, this place is obviously inside the Demon King's City, and in front of him is the palace he saw in his dream. There are high steps to get into it.
"The teleportation array sent me to a bad place. It took some time to deal with those monsters, so I couldn't bring you from that maze in time." Wendell looked apologetic, "It was clearly stated that we must protect your."
"Wait." Shao Ci said in surprise: "Why, why does Wendell know where I am?" And he can be brought here by teleportation array. There is no such powerful skill in the original work, right
Wendle paused, the smile in his light blue eyes seemed to fade a bit, then he held Shao Ci's hand tightly, "I'm really sorry, in fact, I left something on you before, so I can I can use that thing as a medium to understand your location, and you can also use teleportation magic. Because it is too dangerous to face the Demon King, I can feel at ease... Can you forgive me?"
Shao Ci has known for a long time that Wendell is not the holy father in the original work, and he is not surprised that he can do such a thing. He doesn't know how many people in other worlds are more terrifying than this. Things, what is the next imprint.
What's more, he will be able to leave this world soon!
Shao Ci didn't believe that after completing the main story line, the system could force him to attack the five monsters again.
"It's okay, you're doing it for my own good." So Shao Ci said without any psychological pressure.
"Yeah." Wendell showed a complicated smile with many emotions that Shao Ci couldn't understand, "Let's go."
Shao Ci: "Don't you wait for others?" It should be easier to deal with more people.
"No need." When Wendell mentioned others, he didn't know how indifferent his tone was, and said, "I don't know if they can still come out alive."
Shao Ci: "..." Well, anyway, in the original text, it was just Wendell and the devil fighting each other, now at least he added himself.
The two walked up the stairs, and Shao Ci paid special attention to the rose bush where he went to find the ring in his dream. From here, it looked like roses were blooming there like in the dream.
Shao Ci suddenly felt the ring on his finger warm up.
When the two stepped onto the last step.
The black-haired young man standing in the center of the hall turned around. The real appearance of the Demon King was more seductive and handsome than what Shao Ci had seen in his dream, and he looked over coldly with his strange eyes.
"You are finally here."
Wendell took out the long sword and spoke lightly. "Your time has come."
"It's really arrogant." The Demon King sneered, and looked at Shao Ci again, "What are you going to do? My fiance."
"Ah?" Shao Ci suddenly panicked, and subconsciously looked at Wendell, "Wait, when will I..."
"You have already put my ring on your finger, do you still want to pretend that nothing happened?" The devil smiled, "Even if you don't admit it, I will not let you go, don't even think about it from me. Escape here."
"But, isn't there still one last test?" Shao Ci didn't react at once, only felt that the hand held by Wendell was painful.
"Are you an idiot?" The Demon King snorted coldly, "When you proposed to me, I didn't directly kill you, it was my default."
Shao Ci: "...!" Who the hell knows what you villains are thinking!
"I think you misunderstood something." Wendell pulled Shao Ci behind him, his blue eyes were as cold as ice, "He is already mine. Don't think about it for a lowly demon like you." Yes. What he said in front of you before was nothing more than hypocrisy, and you know it very well, if it weren't for your threat, he would never agree to any marriage contract. "
"I don't care about those." The devil smiled lowly and said, "What I want to pursue is the result. But... you are too arrogant, aren't you afraid of revealing your true colors?"
Shao Ci: "...??" What's the real face? !
And generally speaking, shouldn't the Demon King regard him, the brave, as the most threatening existence? Why does it seem that he still looks a little afraid of Wendell now
