Qi Leren buried his face in Ning Zhou's uniform for a long time, his heart slowly calmed down as if he had been fried in oil, and he climbed out of the open tree hole with difficulty.
What is puzzling is that this weather-beaten old tree turned dead in spring, and a fresh sprout sprouted from the root of the tree. It grew to a height of half a meter in just seven days, and the fresh green leaves swayed in the breeze. .
Qi Leren touched the leaves of the sprouts, and suddenly felt that he had also gained a new life.
His body still hadn't fully recovered, he walked slowly in the Garden of the Holy Sepulcher, slowly regaining the feeling of fighting. Now he doesn't know what's going on outside, or it's better to wait until his condition is better before going out.
While pacing, Qi Leren tidied up his things.
Thanks to two consecutive dangerous missions, his remaining survival time is an astonishing 162 days, 7 hours and 32 minutes. Usually, one-fifth to one-third of the survival time will be used to buy daily necessities. Even so, he has more than One hundred days are free to spend. Then the training itinerary that has already been included in the plan can be put on the agenda. When he returns to Twilight Town and meets Ning Zhou, he will stop accepting tasks first and exercise his skills. At least he must master the basic usage of guns .
As for the second step of the main task, you need to go to the purgatory deep in the underground ant city. Qi Leren knew the situation there when he played the undercover "Red". With his current strength, going there is too risky, and he needs to go there again consider.
Item cards and equipment have returned to his item bar, and there is a new skill card:
[Secret Observation] (binding skill card): When using this skill card, the holder will feel a mysterious power, which will enhance your five senses and reduce your sense of existence. After all, when you observe, others will It cannot observe you. But remember, civilized observation, don't do it. The skill lasts for 10 minutes and has a cooldown of 24 hours.
Holding this skill card, Qi Leren frowned slightly.
Why did he get such a skill card for the achievement of "Cheating the Deceitful Demon King"? Judging from the previous SL skills and Dr. Lu's skill cards, achievements and rewards should be closely related, so the achievement of deceiving the fraudulent devil should allow him to obtain a skill card with fraud attributes, such as [Devil's Etiquette]This kind of thing can make him disguise as a devil. Was the reward changed because he already had the same skill? That doesn't make sense either...
You don't want him to secretly observe the Deceitful Demon King, do you? Qi Leren laughed and shook off this ridiculous idea.
After walking for half an hour, Qi Leren felt that his physical condition had improved a lot. At least normal running and jumping was no longer a problem. He drank some water and ate a little more easily. After digesting the food, equip the skill cards in the card slot: SL Dafa, Clothes in the Rain, Elementary Martial Arts, and walked out of the Garden of the Holy Sepulcher with a dagger.
The body passed through a thin barrier, and the Qi Le people came outside the Garden of the Holy Sepulcher.
The whole holy city was as quiet as a tomb. The people of Qi Le looked around vigilantly and found that there was really no one there. It was suspected that the residents here had left the city after the territory of the holy nuns was broken.
That's right, it is impossible for the Holy See to invest a lot of manpower here. For safety reasons, the residents here should also be evacuated. Maybe there are demons wandering around in the city...
Qi Leren thought for a while, replaced the [Elementary Fighting Technique] skill card, and equipped it with [Devil's Etiquette]. The last mission left a lot of succubus crystals, and now it is convenient for him. Consuming one demon crystal can allow him to disguise himself as the demon type that this crystal belongs to within 3 hours. Unfortunately, it is only a sham. If he does it, it is easy to be seen through because he does not have the innate ability of this type of demon.
Qi Leren, who turned into a succubus, walked forward quickly. Before he had gone far, he heard a movement in front of him. Two low-level demons were hurriedly running down the stairs of the former site of the Holy See. They saw him standing in the middle of the road. , looked at their succubus with a half-smile, and the two low-level demons looked at each other, hesitating whether to greet them or not.
There is a strict hierarchy between demons and demons. Once high-level demons release their coercion, low-level demons will have no power to resist. High-level demons will often not regard low-level demons as their own kind. Cannibalism is completely part of the ecology of the demon world. part.
Therefore, the hesitant attitude of these two low-level demons is very strange in the eyes of Qi Le people.
He decided to try it out.
"What happened up there?" the succubus asked in a lazy tone.
"Responding to my lord, the desperate witch and the suspicious demon are confronting each other, and they are about to fight." Because they couldn't figure out which side the succubus was on, the two low-level demons had to bow their heads to show respect, so as not to face each other. The subordinates of the old devil used the tragedy of etiquette against the power devil.
"Oh? The two adults are so angry." The succubus said with a half-smile.
Qi Leren's brain was spinning fast. He didn't know which kind of gods the suspicious demon and the desperate witch were. The factions among demons were very complicated. He only made up a little foundation with the help of the court. Demons such as the Witch of Envy who can clearly possess an original power are definitely high-level demons.
The suspicious demon sounds related to the attribute of "deceit", and it is very likely that it is the subordinate of the deceitful demon king. It's hard to judge the origin of the Desperate Witch, but since she appears here, there must be a reason for her... If the two sides are confronting each other, she should be an enemy force of suspicious demons
Who will it be? Servant of power? No, the deceitful lord and power are not in opposition. The Demon Slayer? Not impossible, but the Killer Lord has been missing for so long that no branch of the Killing Order can contact him.
There is another possibility.
Qi Leren squinted his eyes and boldly guessed that this Desperate Witch is under the old devil king.
Although the old devil king has been killed by the holy nun, his subordinates are still active in the devil world. It makes sense to come here for the old devil king at this time.
The two low-level demons looked at the succubus anxiously, not knowing which side he was from, and they didn't dare to leave rashly.
The succubus suddenly chuckled, and waved at them: "Okay, get out, don't get in my way."
The lowly demon ran away as if he had been pardoned. Qi Leren put away his succubus demeanor, judged his acting skills, and secretly gave himself a thumbs up. Fortunately, he made a disguise in time, otherwise there would be a fight now, and maybe the two big demons above would be alarmed, and even SL Dafa couldn't save him.
The people of Qi Le are not sure how far this high-level demon can perceive. Although it will not be exaggerated to cover the entire site of the Holy See, if they get too close, they may be alarmed.
However, he has the [Secret Observation] skill card, which is like a timely rain. Qi Leren was secretly happy, feeling that his lucky value seemed to have increased after his resurrection.
Go up the mountain first, wait until you get close to the two confronting big demons, then use the skill card to hide yourself, and take the opportunity to sneak into the temple.
Having made up his mind, Qi Leren walked up quickly, and when he reached the halfway up the mountain, the top of the mountain was stormy, the ground was shaking, countless bats were flying in the heavy rain, and the sky was almost covered by clouds. The people of Qi Le almost fell down the stairs due to the sudden earthquake. When they looked up suddenly, they saw a huge hole in the sky, and the lava poured down. The bats screamed, as if being ignited by the lava, The sky burned into a cloud of fire.
This terrifying battle situation made Qi Leren feel more dignified, almost hesitating whether he should take the risk of entering the temple at this time.
But what Maria said made him very concerned. He intuitively felt that this was a very important clue. If he missed it, maybe...
Anyway, I have already died once, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be more difficult than when facing the deceitful devil. Qi Leren regained his composure, and replaced [Receive Clothes in the Rain] with [Secret Observation]. The moment he activated it, he felt as if his body had merged into the torrential rain, and the sound of battle in the distance was much clearer than before Yes, when he looked far into the distance, he could even see two figures fighting in mid-air.
The desperate witch in a black cloak snapped her fingers, and the bats ignited by the lava broke free from the flames in an instant, and returned to her in a dense group. Her voice was hoarse and tired, faintly audible in the gradually diminishing torrential rain: "I thought you would continue to wander freely in the devil world, looking for your "art", but I didn't expect you to take refuge in the deceitful devil."
The Suspicious Devil smiled slightly, and pulled the carefully trimmed mustache on his lips. He looked more spiritual than the embarrassed Desperate Witch. If he didn't know his identity as a devil, he would look like an artist.
"Isn't it the nature of our demons to submit to a stronger power?" The suspicious demon asked back.
"Oh? But in terms of the source of power, the deceitful demon king is not as good as power and killing." The Desperate Witch said.
The suspicious demon smiled gracefully: "Isn't the original power of the Destroyer Demon King strong enough? Didn't he also sleep in this temple forever? Power is only a part, and the person who uses this power is the real key."
The empty eyes of the Desperate Witch revealed a touch of sadness. When the old devil king was still alive, she possessed the blessing of destructive power. She was far stronger than the suspicious devil, but with the death of the old devil king, the power of "destruction" became stronger. Weak, even the original strength of "despair" is also declining.
They, the subordinates of the old devil king, are about to give up. Unless a new devil king of destruction is born, they will only weaken day by day.
Until a week ago, they who were far away in the Demon Realm suddenly felt the new destructive power.
The light of destruction that flashed in the demon world like a meteor gave them hope—destruction will never be destroyed, and it will come back eventually!
And the short-term recovery of this "destruction" power also made power and fraud feel threatened, so they sent suspicious demons to investigate, and happened to meet the desperate witch who also came.
"So your majesty is willing to serve that lunatic in power? I heard that he has handed over 'one-third of the power' to power? But without the last thing, power will never be crowned and crowned." Said' One-third of the authority', a wave of hatred surged in the heart of the Desperate Witch. This is the demon crystallization of the Destroyer Demon King. Even if it is only one-third of the power, it is strong enough. , It is because of the one-third of the demon crystals he left behind that he survived until now, and the other one-third is still missing. Once everything falls into the hands of the powerful demon king, and then finds 'that thing', the day when she becomes the king of the demon world will not be too far away.
The suspicious devil, who was full of confidence in the deceitful devil, smiled: "Everything is up to His Majesty to decide. What we want to 'discuss' now is whether you will disappear from my eyes, or I will send you to disappear forever."
The Witch of Despair sneered: "It depends on which side the reinforcements come faster."
Neither of the two who were fighting in mid-air noticed that under the cover of the woods and skill cards, a human being sneaked into the temple quietly, hiding from their perception.
