Dong Xiu directed two guards to bury a demon into a hole dug in the ground, while the furious demon general watched curiously.
"Are you going to be buried alive?" The Furious Demon General was a little regretful, "It's a pity that there's nothing good to see. It's not as good as the intestines, Paolao and Lingchi you told me before. Isn't there any better or similar ideas than those?"
Adjusting his glasses that were about to slide off, Dong Xiu's face turned red with excitement, and his eyes shone with excitement. "Instead of burying yourself alive, show your head!" He did not answer immediately. Instead, he explained to the guards first, and then turned his head. Said to the Raging Demon General: "Don't worry, this one is better-looking than those!"
Hearing what he said, the Furious Demon General didn't mind that he didn't respect him enough. Instead, he was aroused with a sense of expectation. He leaned closer and eagerly waited to see what the other party would do next.
The angry demon general has a volatile temper, and is often like a bomb that goes off at the drop of a hat. He is extremely difficult to please, and is also sadistic. He is recognized as the most cruel demon general, and he likes to torture and kill the captives he captures, even among demons. His reputation is not very good, but he can't stand the fact that he has a group of equally sadistic demon guards under his command. Their methods are ruthless and inhumane, making other demons retreat. Therefore, his combat power is also considered to be explosive in another sense. Instead, he has become The most powerful candidate to compete for the position of Demon King.
Dong Xiu was very satisfied with this.
He was a little uneasy at first, not knowing how to get along with this violent and cruel demon general, but fortunately they had the same temperament. Just a few of the ancient tortures he had studied could make the other person curious and excited and forget about his anger. , and he can also use the hands of the angry demon general to put into practice the punishments he once only read in writing.
Those ancient, lost punishments could be resurrected one by one before his eyes, which made Dong Xiu addicted to them and unable to extricate himself!
The two hit it off immediately and got along more and more harmoniously.
"Take a knife and cut a cross on the top of its head," Dong Xiu said. "Remember to cut the scalp and use some strength."
The guards did as they were told. The cruelly treated demon let out a heart-rending scream, and was frightened to hear it. However, no one present wanted to block its mouth and enjoy the fear-filled screams of its prey. It was also them. part of the enjoyment.
"Move the things over here." Dong Xiu said.
The two guards quickly went aside and worked together to lift a wooden barrel. The barrel was filled with liquid, which swayed with a silver-white metallic luster. This was Gong, which is mercury.
Dong Xiu pointed at the bloody knife edge: "Pour the mercury in through the opening. When the mercury spreads all over its body, its skin and flesh will be separated. When the time comes, you can take out the contents and you will get something." A complete skin."
"Great! Great!" The Raging Demon General clapped his hands almost like a child, "This is a great idea!"
"Hurry, pour it down!" He could hardly wait to get the complete skin, and immediately urged the guard to start immediately. The guard did not dare to delay, raised the barrel, and poured the contents directly into the man scalp.
The screams almost burst people's eardrums, and then became weaker and weaker...
Until there is silence.
Dong Xiu did not wait until the end. He glanced at the dying victim, and then at the furious demon general who was watching intently, completely ignoring his surroundings. A sharp light flashed through his lenses, and he quietly exited the torture chamber. room.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly through the corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there was a guard wearing armor standing guard. Seeing this man who had been very popular recently and became a celebrity in front of the Demon General overnight, they The attitude of the male human guards who were their immediate superiors also became respectful and warm, and they all saluted in a flattering manner and called him "Sir".
Dong Xiu kept a decent smile and nodded slightly to them. The guards who received the response were simply flattered. They probably had never seen a superior with such a good attitude before, and they were stunned for a moment.
Dong Xiu didn't stop, silently harvesting the closeness and admiration of these subordinates, his emotions behind his eyes unclear.
"Erwin."
Passing through the corridor, there is a small private garden belonging to the Furious Demon General. There are two guards inside. One is of a higher level. His armor is engraved with gorgeous patterns. He is reprimanding a low-level guard. Dong Xiu saw it and called the senior guard. The guard shouted.
Erwin looked up and saw that it was Dong Xiu, so he stopped lecturing and waved his hand to let the bloody little guard go.
Recently, this person has gained a lot of favorability in front of the Demon General. Even as the highest-ranking captain of the bodyguard, he cannot be neglected easily. Besides, Dong Xiu is also a good person and has given many benefits to the people below, including him, so He is also willing to sell each other face.
"Dong, it's you. Didn't you follow the adults to the execution chamber?" Erwin greeted.
"It's almost over. I'm going to come out and get some air." Dong Xiu used his social skills that he had honed in socializing. It seemed that he and Erwin were talking about ordinary nonsense, but he unintentionally praised the other person to the sky.
Erwin was so praised that he couldn't find anything to say about it. After a few words, he almost wanted to hook up with him and call him brothers.
These demons are real. Compared with cunning humans, they can be called innocent. Dong Xiu doesn't know if this is because of the game's setting. After all, artificial intelligence cannot match human intelligence.
"I am honored to follow the Demon General," Dong Xiu said. "In my opinion, among these Demon Generals, none of them can match our charisma."
"Yes, yes!" Erwin immediately agreed happily, "Our master's demeanor cannot be matched by those weaklings! And our Furious Legion, one soldier can equal the three generals of other legions!"
Dong Xiu made an expression of pride, and then turned to a puzzled expression: "Our Lord is so powerful, I just can't understand it. Once the old Demon King dies, our Lord should naturally become the new Demon King. How can we still do this?" Are you going to compete with other demon generals?"
Erwin sighed, "There is nothing we can do about it. Although our people can fight, the number is really small. Take the Demon General of Jealousy as an example. Although the group is full of crooked and broken bones, they can't stand it." There were a lot of people, five times as many as us. They liked to use the human sea tactic to kill us. The gluttonous demon general's shameless legion even used suicide bombs. Each one was as heavy as a cannonball, and they sat on their butts. You can smash a few meat pies when you come down, causing the Furious Legion to suffer heavy losses and can only temporarily stand in a stalemate."
Dong Xiu asked seemingly casually: "But I heard that the Demon King's ability can be transferred? Didn't we, sir, inherit it?"
Erwin had no idea that the other party was trying to trick him, because basically everyone in the castle knew about it, so he dropped a bombshell to Dong Xiu without any precaution: "It can be transferred, but you have to kill it with your own hands." Only by defeating the previous Demon King and eating his heart can we obtain the abilities he had during his lifetime, both of which are indispensable."
"But it's a pity that the last old demon king was very powerful. No demon general could kill him alone, and no one was willing to join forces with others. We had to wait until he got old and his abilities were weakened before he dared to kill him. As a result, several demon generals all thought of it together. In order to decide who would kill the old demon king, they started fighting. The battle was so dark that the sun and the moon dimmed. It lasted for two years. , before the outcome could be decided, the old devil had died of natural illness, and even his body was affected and burned to ashes, and his heart was nowhere to be found." Speaking of this matter, Erwin is still quite curious. For regrets. "Because of this, the old demon king's abilities were not passed down, the new demon king's position was vacant, and the demon generals fell into a melee."
Dong Xiu didn't have time to digest such a huge amount of information. When he heard that it had not been passed down, he immediately asked: "Then the power of the Demon King has completely disappeared? Even if there is a new Demon King, it will not be able to reach that level?"
Erwin nodded helplessly: "Yes, it is indeed lost."
Like a head of cold water being poured down his head, Dong Xiu was stunned on the spot.
Goldfinger... is just gone
Since there are no more cards, why are they still written on the cards? Do you treat them like monkeys
The expression on his face couldn't help but twitch, and Dong Xiu's expression gradually turned ferocious. He put his hands into his pockets, intending to immediately tear up the damn card that had fooled him. Although the card did not contain that content, he still Can't help being angry.
However, just when he was about to go berserk, Erwin's words brought him back to his senses.
Erwin said, "Although the old devil's ability has been lost, the devil generals themselves are also extremely powerful. Given time, they will one day reach the level of the old devil. However, the gap between them is not big now, so it is difficult to decide who will be the best." Just one.”
Dong Xiu calmed down, and after thinking about it, it made sense. This game was so meticulous, scary, and full of traps. He even suspected that the purpose of the game was to kill all the players in it. Now, for the first time, Goldfinger appeared like this. If something is too contrary to nature, it will be abnormal and must be strictly controlled to conform to the consistent style.
In this case, it is not considered that the golden finger has disappeared, because the demon general is a demon general after all. Regardless of those magical magical abilities, just speaking of physical fitness, it does not belong to the category of human beings. If he can inherit even one tenth, The possibility of saving your life will be greatly improved!
Dong Xiu's thoughts were racing, and he immediately figured out the pros and cons. He quickly relaxed his expression, not letting Erwin see the problem, and continued to inquire about the news like a casual chat, "Then how long will this stalemate last?"
"Soon," Erwin told him, "due to the continuous wars for years, the five legions suffered heavy losses. The last five demon generals were forced to negotiate and decided to hold a large-scale competition. The result of the competition will determine the position of the Demon King. The final candidate. Recently, all the major demon generals are trying to recruit talents, isn’t that why you’re here?”
I see. Dong Xiu said calmly, "Yes, I want to serve you. I just had so much fun with Lord Demon General recently that I forgot what day it is. By the way, when does the competition start?"
Because the Raging Demon General often loses his sense of time due to having too much fun in the torture chamber and delays many things, Erwin has long been accustomed to it. There is no doubt that he said, "You are the last person recruited by the adults to test time." It's two weeks, and the competition will officially start in two weeks. You guys also have to participate and fight for the glory of the adults, so the selection is particularly strict. Having said that, you were eliminated early by the adults before you waited until the last day. This recognition is the first time in these years.”
"Then there's still a long way to go until the official competition..."
"Three days."
