Chapter 101

To reach that area, one must first pass through the lava moat beneath the fortress. On this uneven passage, there are many infernal creatures lurking.

Ye Bai passed by a group of little demons playing with their tails in a pool of lava.

The little devil is the hellish creature that the hell attendant tried to summon before. They are only half a human height, with a pair of bat wings and a tail. Their main means of attack is to swallow and spit out lava fireballs, and can reduce the enemy's spiritual energy value. The level is between 30 and 40, and they are the most common low-level creatures in purgatory.

Because of the perfect mask characteristics, these little demons thought Ye Bai was of the same species when they saw her. One little demon playfully used its tail to poke the lava and swung it towards her.

Fortunately, Ye Bai was always alert and reacted immediately, dodging away with fear.

This amount of lava damage is nothing, the key point is that it will be regarded as "damage" from the little devil, causing Ye Bai to enter combat state, and at the same time making the camouflage effect invalid. Once exposed, it will alarm all kinds of monsters in the entire fortress.

"Gulp!"

Seeing that Ye Bai ignored him, the little devil made a strange gibberish sound, turned around without any doubt, and started playing with other little devils near the lava.

The creatures in Purgatory are all kinds of strange and varied. Even if they are born in the same Purgatory, there are huge differences between low-level and high-level creatures in terms of strength and intelligence.

For example, although there is only one letter difference between the imp and the demon, the real demon level is above level 60, which is the top soldier in the Purgatory Legion. The difference in IQ between the imp and the demon can be compared to that between a beast and an intelligent creature.

Demons have their own independent Purgatory magic system, and they use the soul-related magical language [Demon Language] when communicating with each other. However, some low- and middle-level Purgatory creatures do not have a systematic language system and simply obey the orders of those in higher positions.

After dealing with one level, Ye Bai then crossed paths with two Purgatory Warhorses, carefully avoiding the carts they were pulling.

Ye Bai saw a large number of empty shells that had been pried open in the truck. No clam meat or pearls could be seen inside, but when he got closer, he could still smell some residual fishy and salty smell of sea water, which could even be said to be fresh.

These things are absolutely rare in Purgatory and seem to be offered to the Purgatory Lord in this fortress.

From this point, it can be seen that the hobbies of this lord are different from those of other creatures in Purgatory. What he transports is not various seafood and meat, but decorative handicrafts such as pearls and corals.

Walking across the 'bridge' made of black stones floating on the magma, Ye Bai passed by a three-headed dog of hell that was probably a guard dog.

The three-headed dog of hell that was breathing sulfur from its mouth had two heads sleeping with their eyes closed, and the remaining head was standing guard with its eyes open.

When Ye Bai passed by, the nose of the three-headed dog, the only conscious head, twitched a few times, as if it felt a little confused, but when it looked at Ye Bai again, it didn't see anything wrong.

By the time the Hellhound hesitated, Ye Bai had already walked five meters away.

Finally, the only awake head of the three-headed dog yawned, then turned away from the head next to it, woke up the other head, closed his eyes, and put everything behind him.

After walking a distance of a hundred meters, Ye Bai finally arrived safely at the crack he had seen in the distance.

Looking up and seeing the crack about ten meters away, Ye Bai's nervous mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

At this distance, even if her disguise is discovered by the nearby infernal creatures, she can still return to the surface through the cracks.

Just as Ye Bai continued to move forward, preparing to get closer to sense where the crack led to and how long it would exist, suddenly, a voice came into her ears from nearby.

"Hey! Friend over there!"

Ye Bai paused in shock.

This strange yet magnetic voice obviously did not belong to the paper man, nor to Ottophis.

Ye Bai immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and then saw a crack between the boulders not far behind the space crack.

Between the gaps was a metal fence. From the familiar style, Ye Bai quickly determined that it was a prison cell built on the cliff wall.

Ye Bai's eyes focused, and she immediately found the person who had just called out to her, a 'person' imprisoned in a cell.

The other person's upper body looked like a well-mannered human aristocrat dressed in gorgeous clothes, but the lower body and feet appeared to be in a translucent smoke state, somewhat like the genie in a magic lamp.

When the man saw Ye Bai paying attention to this side, he immediately smiled and said:

"Hello my friend! Can you help me?"

Seeing this, Ye Bai didn't say a word, but continued to move closer to the crack.

As soon as Ye Bai saw the other party's appearance, he knew what the other party was without any insight - it was a devil.

Devils are different from demons. If demons are the top combat force in Purgatory, then demons are the aliens in Purgatory. Demons are rare in number, but they are definitely the most well-known existence in Purgatory on the surface.

Demons are not good at direct combat and are treacherous by nature. The words they say have the magical power to be understood by any living being, and their appearance is the same in the eyes of any living being. What they are best at is using various means to deceive living beings, sign soul contracts with themselves, and then harvest the souls of living beings through various loopholes and traps in the contracts.

The devil is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is easy for him to deal with ordinary Purgatory creatures with low intelligence. Now that this devil has fallen into this situation, Ye Bai knows with his feet that it must have offended the Purgatory Lord of this fortress.

Every devil is a master of deception who talks nonsense and is the leader of the fraud industry. Now that the other party has called him, it has undoubtedly triggered a task. However, Ye Bai knows very well that the tasks issued by the devil are very tricky and are basically scams, so he chooses to ignore them.

"Kind friend, please save me... I won't let your risk be in vain. I have a big secret in exchange, which can make you the most powerful Lord of Purgatory!"

Ye Bai pretended not to hear. The best way to deal with the devil is not to communicate with it too much.

Seeing Ye Bai walking straight towards the crack without paying any attention to him, the aristocratic-looking devil in the cell became anxious. He put his face close to the iron fence, and his face suddenly turned pale and green, and his expression changed from pleading to threatening:

"If you don't find a way to save me, I will reveal your true identity to the lord here, Iris!"

"Even if you can go hunting on the surface by then, don't even think about coming back from this rift!"

When he heard the second sentence, Ye Bai's steps suddenly stopped, and then his eyes began to move.

Of course, the devil's threats would not have any effect on her. If the devil had a way to communicate directly with the lord here, he would probably pester the lord of purgatory every day, trying to trick him into releasing him. Why would he be so angry at her for her incompetence?

The key point is the second sentence. The devil said that she was going to the surface to hunt, which made Ye Bai realize that he was still wearing the [Perfect Mask] at this time. In the eyes of different races, Ye Bai was of the same race.

The devil only looks like a human, but is essentially a kind of hellish creature.

Ye Bai had just fallen into the player's misconception and focused on the devil's mission. Now, from the meaning of the other party's words, she realized that [Perfect Mask] also worked on the devil. Just as the devil looked like a human in her eyes, she was also a devil in the devil's eyes.

The reason why the other party came to Ye Bai for help just now was not because he saw through her and saw that she was a disguised God-Blooded Person who issued the task, but because he thought she was also a devil disguised as another creature from Purgatory!

Realizing this, Ye Bai stopped as the devil wished, as if threatened by these words. He looked around, and then came to the cell where it was, looking at it across a cliff.

"Stop joking. It's obvious that you were locked up here by Iris. How can you contact her?" Ye Bai said in a deep voice.

Judging from the name and the coral pearls seen before, the owner of this cliff fortress is probably a demon lord of the succubus lineage.

The imprisoned devil laughed at this, "Normally that's the case, but if I'm willing to pay the price of serious injury to break through the prison, I can still attract her attention."

As it spoke, it pointed to the red inscription written in demonic language on the iron bars of the cage.

The devil has the ability to teleport, and if it weren't for the cage that was sealed with force, it would be impossible to trap it.

"Are you willing to pay this price?" Ye Bai said noncommittally, "Don't waste each other's time. Come up with the real conditions."

The devil inside exhaled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you can get me out, I will tell you a big secret about the cracks in this layer of space."

Ye Bai shook his head upon hearing this. "Are you kidding? I can't guarantee that your information is true. Besides, if there are any secrets, can't I research them myself? At worst, I can just run away and not go through this spatial rift."

The devil said, "This secret is about the Deep Sea Clan. I can sign a contract with you. As long as you rescue me, I will definitely tell you."

Deep sea tribe?

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai immediately thought of the large amount of "seafood" he had seen before that shouldn't exist in Purgatory, and confirmed the authenticity of this information.

As for the contract proposed by the devil, Ye Bai naturally didn't believe it at all.

Being able to know this piece of information is already a good gain, and the rest is up to you to explore on your own.

As for what the devil said about reporting the Lord of Purgatory, Ye Bai knew that the devil, who was afraid of death by nature, would not do such a stupid thing that would harm others and not benefit himself.

"Then why don't you sign a contract with me? As long as you tell me the secret first, I will definitely rescue you."

Ye Bai said something casually, and saw the devil immediately shook his head and turned away.

She naturally knew that the other party would definitely not agree, but before she took a few steps, she heard the other party anxiously shouting:

"Wait, I agree!"

Ye Bai paused and looked back in surprise.

The devil gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "But we must sign a soul contract!"

Hearing this, it was Ye Bai's turn to be dumbfounded - what a joke, she was not a real devil, where did she get the soul contract to sign with it?

At this moment, the voice of the paper man came from the magic scroll in Ye Bai's hand:

"Lord Bai Ye, agree to it and leave the rest to me."

It won’t be June 6th yet, the tenosynovitis is too serious, I will update once this month, try to make it thicker and longer, and when I’m in good condition I’ll add nutrient solution and finish the update.
