C185 (1/2)
”Eh? You have hands and feet, don't you? Why do we have to promise you that you can't come out? ”
The young man shook his head. ”I've never left this coffin. I'm afraid I've already lost my ability to walk. Besides, I'm really unfamiliar with the outside world, so I need your help.”
”Alright, we agree.” Zhang Ziyuan immediately made a decision and carried the young man out from the coffin onto his shoulder.
”Alright, you can speak now.”
Zhang Ziyuan's movement skills were indeed strong, every second after the young man finished speaking, he had already placed the young man on his shoulder.
I suddenly felt pity for him. Even though he is said to be the Demon Lord of the Demons, his fate has always been in his hands. He has grown so much, to the point where he never came out of the coffin.
”Is this enough?” Seeing that Zhang Ziyuan was carrying it so easily, it seemed as if the young man wasn't really weightless.
”Yes, the secret is, if you guys get lost in the Demon City, you just need to keep watching and keep walking to the east.”
I never thought that the Demon Lord would really tell us the secrets of the Demon City. We should have been enemies, why did he tell us so much?
During this period of time, I've encountered so many scams that even I started to distrust others.
To the east, I might as well try believing this young man. With a compass in my hand, I immediately locked onto the east.
I was still testing the youth as we walked. If there were any flaws in his words, it would be for the best. ”How do you know that the Demon City's Gate of Life is in the East?”
”Of course I know, because this Demon City was designed by me, every mechanism and illusion technique was crystallized by me.”
The young man's words always surprised me. So the entire Demon City was designed by him? It was no wonder. If this foolish youth knew nothing, he probably wouldn't be able to be the so-called Demon Lord.
”You are also proficient in mechanical technique and illusion techniques?” I suddenly felt that I had met a fellow peer. Even though what I learned was different, the principles were still the same.
”Of course, it was the only thing that I could touch when I was young. My wish was to build a complete palace that would allow me to run and jump about in it, so even though I was carried by you, I am still very grateful to all of you for personally seeing the structure that I designed myself.”
Sure enough, following along the east path, we are already beginning to meet our teammates.
”It's the people from the Murong Family and the Ghost Society …” Zhang Ziyuan said.
From the looks of it, they were the masterpiece of the Demon General. They probably had a fierce battle and suffered heavy casualties, which was why they sent out the red signal detonator.
”But your people are so fierce. It's as easy to deal with us humans as cutting vegetables and tofu …”
The young man's excited eyes suddenly dimmed. ”I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I'm too weak. I can't stop my own clansmen.”
I suddenly felt that the young man's apology had come from the bottom of his heart and was not faked.
Then, walking eastward, we finally found a large palace, but the view inside it was truly astonishing.
Almost all of their teammates had gathered in this palace hall, most of them were already lying on the ground, but whether they were dead or alive, seven to eight Demon General s held onto axes or hammers, as though they had already obtained victory. The only one who was still standing in the middle of the Demon General was unexpectedly Tianyuan Hall, Zhuo Lanxuan.
Li He Yue seemed to be severely injured, and seeing us coming, she stood up again. ”Didn't I tell you to leave quickly? What are you guys doing in here? ”
At this moment, I suddenly understood Li He Yue's intentions. At that time, I thought that he was extremely sarcastic, but I didn't expect that he would actually be on our side.
Zhuo Lanxuan seemed to have already been exposed as she laughed arrogantly: ”You have finally come. I have waited a long time for you guys, I have purposely separated you guys out, I have heard about your matters, of all of you, the most difficult to deal with might be the rain house. This time, even you guys will not be able to escape.”
”Sure enough, you're that traitor. It's a huge trap in itself, and you're trying to let us all in, right?”
”Mm, now that I understand. It's not too late yet. At least I won't die in confusion like some people.”
