Chapter 680 A traitor appeared among the city lords!

"In short, the soul of the demon has been mixed into the dungeon lord."

Sen Dungeon, the city lord's room.

Chiya said this to Gong Qiying with a serious face, and his tone made people recall the scene when they first met him.

At that time, his character gave people the impression of a steady and reliable senior, unlike now when he was labeled as an old pervert.

No, Gong Qiying couldn't take it seriously anymore when he thought of Chiya's reaction when he saw the beautiful dragon.

"Ahem," he coughed to compose himself, then asked calmly, "Isn't there a dungeon lord from the demon clan?"

"Those demon city lords are all hiding in the west, but this time is different."

Chiya said, "An unidentified demon has infiltrated our human base."

“!”

An exclamation mark appeared above Gong Qiying's head. The reason he was so surprised was because -

He almost forgot that Chiya is also a human!

No matter how you look at it, you can't tell that the other party was once a human. Whether it's behavior or hobbies, they are exactly the same as those of a dragon.

"How did you determine that?" he asked.

"Demons appeared in the dungeon of Youlesa."

The demons are everywhere and they may pop out from any corner or nook, so they cannot be used as evidence to prove anything.

Chiya also realized this.

"The appearance of the demons alone isn't enough to prove anything, but," he suddenly placed a small bottle in front of Gong Qiying. Inside the bottle was a lingering black mist. "This is miasma from the Western Continent, collected from those demons."

Miasma, as a unique product of the Western Continent, has always prevented people from going deep into the Western Continent to completely eradicate the demons. It is a natural protective shield for the demons. At the same time, because of its toxicity, it has become a favorite material of some ruthless alchemists.

Gong Qiying had spent some time studying in libraries around the country, so he knew the characteristics of this miasma and said:

"I remember that after leaving the Western Continent, if this thing wasn't stored airtight, it would have completely dissipated within a few days."

"That's true, but these miasma were collected from the demons."

Now Gong Zi Qiying understood what Chi Ya meant.

The demons will be surrounded by thick miasma, and they will take the miasma with them when they leave the Western Continent. However, the gas on the demons' bodies will completely dissipate within a few days, and there is no way to preserve it except to seal it.

In other words, the demons who entered Youlesa's bond dungeon left the Western Continent within just a few days of the miasma dissipating?

Gong Qiying unfolded the world coloring map in the air and found the location of the bond dungeon.

It was at the border of the Warrior Country and had already entered the territory of another country, the name of which was.

"The Nation of Ten Thousand Religions" Scameron.

"This place is far away from the west."

To be able to rush out from the Western Continent to Skameron in just a few days, this demon must either be a locomotive or rely on a magical power: teleportation.

"Building a teleportation array takes a long time and effort, and the magical fluctuations of a teleportation array are enough to be discovered even in the deep mountains and old forests. If there really are demons who can build a teleportation array here, then these humans are too slow to be saved."

Chiya made his sharp comments.

The answer is obvious. If we exclude the possibility that a few demons have built a teleportation array, the only way for them to reach Skameron quickly is through the dungeon.

"There are not many dungeons like yours that have the right to teleport between the main city and branch cities, but there may be some demons on the demon side, so we currently regard the appearance of demons among the dungeon lords as the highest priority possibility." He said.

In fact, my ability to transmit is not a permission, but something that comes with the resource library, Gong Qiying thought to himself.

"You mean, maybe the dungeon lord is a demon inside and is helping some demons to be teleported here, right?"

"That's right, and I've roughly divided a range. The city lords here are all suspicious."

Chiya drew a circle on the map.

There are more than a dozen dungeons in the circle, concentrated on the border of the Warrior Kingdom and the interior of Scamelon. Chiya even circled himself in to see it, and Gong Qiying also saw a dungeon with a familiar name in it.

"There are several veteran city lords here, and everyone knows them well, so there's no need for a major investigation. The ones who need the most attention are the new generation of city lords. Many of them have only grown up in recent years and unlocked the right for city lords to communicate with each other. Everyone is still unfamiliar with them, and there might be demons among them, so they need to be carefully investigated."

Having said that, Gong Qiying probably understood why Chiya came to find him.

"Are you interested in taking a tour? I'll give you a branch city for free."

Chiya smiled for the first time today.

Gong Qiying also smiled, and said with a forced smile:

"Let me check out a dozen dungeons?"

Are they trying to use him as a summer job for a college student? Even the conditions for black slaves aren't this bad!

"Of course not. A few other trustworthy friends will also be involved. You only need to check three dungeons. Coincidentally, there's an unactivated dungeon in the middle that you can use. The only problem is that the seal on that dungeon is a bit loose, so we need to break the seal first."

"Can't I just beat all those dungeons?"

"That's very typical of you, but unfortunately, if you do that, it's likely to have a negative impact. Even if you explain it's for the purpose of checking the demons, those innocent dungeons affected by it will probably be resentful."

The dragon shook his head and said with some emotion in his eyes:

"It took a long time to finally get the tension between the city lords to a point where they weren't as tense as before. I don't want to ruin the current situation."

Gong Qiying nodded at this point.

When he first saw the notes left by the previous Godwin, he thought that the relationship between the city lords was like that in the Dark Forest, and that they would fight to the death when they met.

In the era when Chiya just became the city lord, it seemed that the relationship between the city lords was indeed so cruel. I don’t know what efforts he made to create the current peaceful situation.

To be fair, Gong Qiying was quite satisfied with the current situation. After all, if he had to remain extremely vigilant when communicating with every city lord, such life would be too uncomfortable.

But even so, he still wanted to complain:

".Is there no good news?"

"Of course there is. There's a war going on in Scameron, and the demand for dungeon resources has increased dramatically. If you open a branch city there now, you'll make a lot of money."

Chiya smiled again and said, "And to be honest, the location of the branch city you are going to is very good. It happens to be where the fighting is most intense. Among the new recruits who can be trusted recently, only you can control it. It has to be you."

Gong Qiying felt like Chiya was an NPC in the game who was giving him tasks.

However, unlike the NPC, if he refuses, Chiya will not ask for anything more. If he agrees, the other party will definitely pay out of his own pocket to give him a lot of benefits and provide help.

Furthermore, if there really is a demon who has become the city lord and has managed to survive until now, such a powerful person must be given special attention, no, dealt with.

"As for Scameron, I haven't been involved there yet." He muttered to himself.

The implication was very obvious. After hearing it, Chiya immediately understood what Gong Qiying meant. He patted his back with his claws in satisfaction and said a lot about the help he could provide.

The dozen or so dungeons listed as needing inspection were assigned to several trusted and experienced city lords, and Gong Qiying was the only newcomer among them.

"Here's where you're going."

On the map, a dungeon located in the central part of Skamiron was highlighted.

Surrounding the unopened underground city are three rich colors: grayish white, fiery red, and warm yellow.

The three dungeons are almost the same in color and scale, and are evenly matched. The unopened dungeon is completely covered.

"The off-white color represents the White Blood Dungeon, famous for its vampires. Its lord has a strange temper but is quite kind. He helped Red with the parasite incident. To be honest, I don't have the heart to list her as a suspect, but in order to thoroughly investigate, this is a last resort."

"Warm yellow represents the Holy Light Dungeon. As the name suggests, this is a dungeon full of traces of the Holy Light Church. Inside are things related to the God of Holy Light. Its lord is a believer in the God of Holy Light. If you understand the church, you should be able to chat with him."

"The fiery red color represents the Explosive Dungeon. This dungeon is filled with fire elemental creatures and contains remnants of the Fire God. The city lord's personality is as violent as the flames."

Having said that, Chiya exhaled and asked:

"Do you know why I ask you to investigate these three?"

Gong Qiying looked at him with a look that said, "You're asking me?"

"You haven't heard of it?"

Now it was Chiya's turn to be a little surprised. He was already surprised when he saw that Gong Qiying's expression did not change when he introduced the three dungeons.

Gong Qiying said that he had never heard of these three dungeons, and was there any need for him to respond to them?

"Because of these three dungeons."

Chiya paused and said:

"All three of them clearly hate you. They really hate you."

The reason why I hate Sion seems to be guessable?

"Oh? You really understand me, Grandpa Chiya."

Gong Qiying's expression finally changed, and he even laughed out loud.

"My favorite thing is to run up to people who hate me."
