Chapter 460 Plague and natural disaster, Daisy rescues

The gates of hell burst open, and hot winds with a smell of sulfur rushed out.

The bottomless pit trembled, the stone walls continued to collapse, and the falling stones weighed several tons each. When they touched the boundary of Yeats's territory, they were instantly turned into powder.

Whoosh! Plague Knight seized the opportunity of the chaos and rode away on his rotten horse, transforming into a stream of green light and escaping quickly.

“Don’t let Him get away!”

Yeats ordered the soul of the demon wolf Fenrir to chase after it, while he himself was on guard against the shadow emerging from the gate of hell.

Regardless of whether the visitor from Hell is a friend or an enemy, one thing that is certain is that we cannot allow it to harm the material plane.

Although Mammon claims that she can form an alliance with Yeats on behalf of the forces of Hell, Yeats still intends to witness it with his own eyes and is ready to draw his sword.

"Ye Zhi, I suddenly remembered a very serious question..." Gray leaned close behind Ye Zhi with a tense face.

"What's the problem?" Ye Zhi gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

"If you tell the demons in hell your jokes about hell, will they laugh?" Gray asked seriously.

Ye Zhi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Good idea, we can try it later!"

Through the burning door, Yeats saw a world of surging magma and flames, from which emanated an evil and ominous aura.

And that's just the first outer layer of hell.

A bard who had personally experienced hell had a detailed description of the scene. He described hell as a huge inverted funnel-shaped abyss, with nine layers from the outside to the inside, and the ninth layer was the "City of Ten Thousand Demons" with no return.

The god of greed, Mammon, is the creator of the city without a return and holds the supreme position in hell! The heat wave distorted the vision, and three figures slowly walked out of the sea of ​​fire.

He looked like a vanguard of hell.

One of them was holding a longbow, with a quiver hanging from his waist. He was dressed in green and looked like a thin-chinned young man. He wore a Zorro-style eye mask and had a cold and murderous aura.

The other man was fully armed, wearing red armor and a golden crown. He rode a tall, blood-red warhorse. He was extremely burly, more than five meters tall including the man and the horse. The warhorse was covered in blood-stained gear and looked particularly ferocious.

Another one was a beautiful woman, wearing a duchess's crown, a desert veil, riding a camel with bells hanging on it, and a pair of charming eyes revealed through the veil.

A dove was perched on the beautiful woman's shoulder.

The pigeon also exudes a similar hellish aura as the three vanguard officers, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The beautiful woman first noticed Ye Zhi who was holding the hilt of the sword tightly, and a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes... She was born into the Dream Demon Clan and was very interested in handsome human men.

However, when her eyes fell on the ring on Ye Zhi's finger, the beautiful woman's expression suddenly froze. Countless speculations flashed through her eyes in an instant, and her face gradually darkened.

"Could it be... the ring of King Solomon that once controlled us in the old era?" the beautiful woman asked the green-clad archer beside her.

The green-clad archer glanced at Ye Zhi indifferently, his face still expressionless, but his ten fingers gripping the bow handle became tighter and tighter, and it was obvious that he was not calm inside.

King Solomon's Ring is the old name of the Ring of the Nibelung.

In the old era, King Solomon used this ring to control the seventy-two demons to work for him, relying on the power of the seven original sins contained in the ring.

The seven original sin demons are the supreme ones in hell, standing above the seventy-two demons. Their status and authority give them an inherent suppressive power over other demons!

If a human possessed the Ring of the Nibelung, it would mean that he was qualified to be on par with the seven original sin gods or even better, and the seventy-two pillars of the devil would need to bow down to him...

The Knight with the Red Armor and the Golden Crown snorted coldly, ignoring Ye Zhi, and said in a low voice: "Unless he uses the power of the ring, I will never bow to him."

The beautiful woman suddenly covered her mouth, with shock in her eyes: "Wait, that black cat seems to be..."

"Master Mammon?"

The pigeon was the first to recognize the black cat blocking the gate to hell. It widened its eyes in shock, flapped its wings and uttered a hoarse voice: "Why are you here?"

The black cat transformed into a black-haired beauty covered in gold jewelry, looking elegant and graceful. She crossed her arms and said coldly, "I should be the one asking this question... Did Lucifer send you to the material plane?"

The dove cupped its wings and said respectfully, "To reply to Master Mammon, it is indeed so. Master Lucifer sensed that there was turmoil in the Abyss, so he ordered the four of us to come and investigate. We must report any developments to Him truthfully."

Mammon sneered. She was very familiar with this pigeon. It must be hiding 30% of what it said... Lucifer's orders were probably more than just to let them serve as scouts. He must have also prepared them for battle.

At this juncture, these four demons are a force that can be utilized... Mammon thought to himself... Sending them to search for the Holy Grail in this pit can also allow this holy vessel to fall into my hands as soon as possible!

Mammon quickly made up his mind.

at the same time.

The pigeon spoke human language, which made Yeats stunned for a moment.

Afterwards, he quickly recalled the forces of hell in the original work.

There are 72 demons in hell, divided into kings, grand dukes, dukes, marquises, and earls according to their strength. Mammon, the god of greed, is one of the seven demons in hell.

The three people who appeared before him... four visitors to be exact, were one of the seventy-two demon gods, and their strength ranged from earl to grand duke.

"This pigeon is the weakest, only the Earl." Ye Zhi thought to himself, "And the guy with the red armor and golden crown is the most difficult to deal with. It is likely that he is the Demon God Beilie who ranks 28th and is a Grand Duke."

The beautiful woman's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Ye Zhi behind Mammon, and opened her red lips slightly.

"Master Mammon, how could you travel with a human being, and..."

She hesitated to speak, wanting to say that it was incredible that this human actually possessed King Solomon's ring.

Mammon looked at me with a haughty look in his eyes and said proudly: "Everything here is decided by me. Since you have come to the material plane, you must obey my orders!"

The pigeon hesitated and said, "But we have other important things to do..."

"No buts. Now, as the Lord of Wuhui City, I order you to help me seize the treasure hidden in this abyss, the Holy Grail." Mammon said, "The whereabouts of the Holy Grail is unknown for the time being. You all act on your own. When you find the treasure, tell me and I will take it back... Afterwards, you can all enter the treasury of Wuhui City and claim my reward!"

The Holy Grail, the name of this holy vessel is well-known throughout the Nine Realms. The seventy-two demon gods all understand the importance of the Holy Grail, but they never imagined that such a precious treasure is hidden near hell.

Perhaps, this is what is meant by the most conspicuous place is the most hidden place.

The four demon gods exchanged glances, reached a consensus, and introduced themselves.

"Fourteenth Pillar Demon God Lelakin, listen to my orders." The green-clad archer simply lowered the brim of his hat.

"Twenty-eight Demon Gods, Belie, obey your orders." The voice of the Knight with Red Armor and Golden Crown was hoarse and metallic.

"Hampa, the thirty-eight demon god, is willing to serve Lord Mammon." The dove gracefully bent its chest and pressed its wings against its chest.

"Gremorse, Lord Mammon, I am deeply grateful for the appreciation of the Fifty-Six Demon Gods..." The beautiful woman's eyes curved into crescents.

Mammon nodded proudly and ordered, "Separate yourselves and send a message to me when you find the Holy Grail. I will be there immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Buzz——

The four demons who came with great momentum swore allegiance to Mammon in an instant, then turned into four streams of light and flew towards four different directions of the earth.

Ye Zhi was already prepared for the battle. At this moment, he exhaled and looked deeply at Mammon.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

How could a mere clone of the Greedy Demon God make four genuine Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods submit to him with just a trace of will?

Unless the black cat in front of him is the real body of the Greedy Demon, who possesses the highest status in hell, he can make the Demon surrender with just a few words!

But this is a little unbelievable. After all, contracting a Seven Deadly Sins Demon with the power of an Eight-ring True God as a familiar is far beyond Ye Zhi's ability.

Then the problem obviously lies with Mammon... She lied to herself, claiming that she was the incarnation of the devil, but her real identity is most likely the original body of the greedy devil!

"I'm not lying. I've always been a very respectable person in hell. I've never hidden this from you."

Mammon crossed his arms, his golden eyes seemed to have seen through Ye Zhi's heart, he chuckled and said, "It's just that I am indeed as you guessed, not just an incarnation of the God of Greed... You can understand that I am an existence like Fenrir just now."

"The soul of the god of greed?"

"It takes a huge price for a soul to enter the material plane, and it will fall into a long period of weakness. You, who have inherited the divine chef's legacy, can greatly nourish my soul's weakness through food... And in order to go with you, I choose to be your familiar." Mammon stretched out two fingers, gently hooked them twice, and smiled, "This is a win-win situation."

At this moment, an extremely strong sense of oppression emanated from Mammon, who had transformed into a human form, which was incomparable to the aura of the familiar in cat form.

Ye Zhi was very calm. After all, he had already guessed this possibility. He said, "So, what is your purpose? Why did you help me get the Ring of the Nibelung and not keep it for yourself?"

"First of all, even if I am at my best, I cannot guarantee that I can gather all seven magic god ritual instruments and successfully recast the ring within just half a year...Ye Zhi, this is your miracle."

Mammon paused for a moment and said seriously, "Secondly, the alliance I told you about before was not false."

"I am an ally of yours as the devil of hell, fighting against Apocalypse together. Now, to prove my sincerity, I let four of my subordinates collect the Holy Grail for you—"

Mammon tilted his head and chuckled, "Isn't this a good deal?"

Each of the four demon gods that appeared just now is at the seventh ring level. If they suddenly attack, Ye Zhi will be in danger of being seriously injured.

And because of Mammon's special identity and high status, the visitor from hell not only did not become an enemy, but instead became a helper, alleviating the pressure on Yeats in his search for the Holy Grail.

Considering all this, although Mammon had been hiding his identity from me, his actions had not been detrimental to me, but had helped me a lot... Ye Zhi thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "In other words, our alliance agreement remains unchanged."

"The familiar contract remains unchanged." Mammon said with a smile, "If I leave you, where can I find a master who can cook such delicious dishes?"

"Then I have a request."

"I'm sorry. Although I am the Greedy Demon God himself, my soul is weak and my body is still sleeping in the City of No Return. I cannot provide you with more help in the battle."

"No...I mean, you change back first."

Mammon's demon form is very oppressive, and in Ye Zhi's opinion, it is not as cute as his cat form.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hearing this, Mammon rolled his eyes speechlessly at Ye Zhi, as if to say that the man did not understand romance.

Then, accompanied by a soft white light, Mammon turned into a black cat again, meowed lazily, and said lightly: "Is it okay now?"

Ye Zhi leaned over and rubbed Mammon's shiny black hair, nodded contentedly and said, "Comfortable!"

Mammon shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that for the sake of our alliance, I will remind you again for free... In fact, when facing the 72 demon gods, you can directly use the power of the Nibelung Ring to force them to work for you."

Ye Zhi was slightly stunned and said in shock: "In other words, I can summon seventy-two seven-ring level fighters?"

"The number of demons that the ring can control is limited. You can currently control a maximum of nine demons. Of course, when you are promoted to the eighth ring, it is not impossible to summon seventy-two demons to fight for you at the same time."

Mammon said, "So even if I hadn't shown up just now, those four guys would have stayed away from you... You could have just ignored them."

Pah! Mammon jumped up and punched Yeats in the shoulder with a cat punch.

"Show your style as the Demon Lord!"

Ye Zhi: "When did I become the Lord of Demons?"

Mammon said, "I am your familiar, if not you, then who is it?"

Yeats had mixed feelings.

I just like to tell some hell jokes... Don't give me the nickname of Satan! The four pillars of the devil searched together and soon brought back the news that they had found the location of the Holy Grail.

Rather than calling it a holy grail, it is more like a huge underground spring. What gushes out of the well is not clear spring water, but dark red plasma.

The blood gushing out of the blood spring formed a blood river in the ravine of the earth, shrouded in an ominous and strange atmosphere.

And in the center of the blood spring, there was a figure that looked like a living zombie.

Plague Knight!

Ye Zhi frowned, but did not dare to step forward rashly, and the situation suddenly became deadlocked.

"Is this really the Holy Grail?" Gray looked at the huge blood fountain and felt her mental strength drop rapidly. "Why does it feel like the altar of some necromancer?"

"This is only the 'appearance' of the Holy Grail. The real Holy Grail is at the bottom of this blood well." Mammon said, "Normally, this well should be flowing with fine wine..."

The demon wolf Fenrir suddenly spoke in a majestic and hoarse voice:

"The Holy Grail is tainted by the Law of the Plague."

"What?"

"The power of the Holy Grail is not to grant wishes, but to strengthen."

The demon wolf Fenrir said: "Once the power of a wish becomes strong enough, it has the possibility of becoming true. This is why people mistakenly believe that the Holy Grail can grant wishes."

"Any law strengthened by the Holy Grail can become several times more powerful than before."

The demon wolf Fenrir stared deeply at the Plague Knight who was immersed in the center of the blood well and staring at him coldly like a monster.

"This festering poisonous blood will spread to the entire material plane through the Holy Grail Well, creating a terrible plague that will sweep across the entire continent."

The demon wolf Fenrir paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming with ferocity:

"But these have nothing to do with me - I just want Him to die here!"

Ye Zhi's heart was shocked, and he stopped her, "Wait!"

However, the demon wolf Fenrir did not obey Yeats' orders. He widened his blood-red eyes and bit the Plague Knight viciously!

boom!!

The poisonous fog exploded and bloody corpses flew everywhere.

One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Knight who symbolizes the Law of Plague, has fallen! However.

The river of blood began to boil, and in the surging blood tide, miasma filled the sky and was shrouded in clouds of epidemic.

Faced with this extremely terrifying plague force, the four demons all changed color.

The living Plague Knight...is not scary.

When He died, the plague broke out instantly - this was a terrifying force that was enough to destroy an entire civilization! Not to mention, this law had been amplified by the Holy Grail, making it so powerful that the demons could not resist it together! The red light in the eyes of the demon wolf Fenrir gradually faded, and he gasped, reacting to the rapidly deteriorating situation, and turned back to Ye Zhi and said:

"Run for your life, Yeats, I can't handle it either."

Ye Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Can't you slow down a little and wait for me to figure out a way to kill Him?"

The demon wolf Fenrir sneered, "What do you think?"

Ye Zhi rubbed his brows.

The demon wolf Fenrir's hatred for the Horsemen of Apocalypse has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and it is impossible for him to calm down due to such deep-rooted hatred.

This is exactly what the Plague Knight was plotting. He took the initiative to give himself up to Fenrir's claws, and used the Holy Grail to strengthen the Law of Plague, in order to create a horrific plague that would sweep across the continent! Now that things have come to this, there is no point in complaining, and the key is how to solve this plague.

Yeats tried to bring the plague into his own domain and bear it himself, but found that it was just a drop in the bucket. Faced with a natural disaster that was enough to threaten the entire civilization, personal efforts were of no avail!

"At the cost of sacrificing a Knight of Apocalypse, the plague descended, plundering the lives of more creatures in the Nine Realms, making it easier for the Heavens to devour this world..." Mammon whispered, "Even the seemingly supreme followers are just pawns."

"Ye Zhi, the poisonous cloud of the plague is about to burst out of the bottomless pit, we must think of a solution quickly!" Zuanya said nervously.

Once the cloud of plague is allowed to rush into the outside world, nothing can be made up for! Ye Zhi gritted his teeth and carefully counted his omissions.

Suddenly, the figure who claimed to be going to the bottomless pit to scout out the place flashed through Ye Zhi's mind, and he shouted, "Daisy, stop watching the show, come out and save me!"

Amid the roar of natural disasters, that cynical voice was so pleasant to Yeats's ears, like the sound of nature.

"Oh, I wanted to watch it a little longer..."

The tall, gray-haired beauty picked her fingers and smiled softly.

"Fortunately, I switched the Holy Grail so that the Law of Plague was not strengthened... Otherwise, no one could save you, Ye Zhi."

"You swapped the Holy Grail?!" Yeats said in surprise.

"yes."

Daisy opened her palms, and in them, a beautifully crafted holy grail gleamed.

"It looks pretty good, doesn't it, as it was fished out of the tomb?" Daisy said proudly.

Yeats looked shocked.

You can actually rob tombs?!

Yeats said, "Daisy, you did a great job!"
