"Now, swallow this demon!"
After receiving Cao Xing's order, a terrifying shadow spewed out from the box in his hand.
Like a dark cloud, it instantly enveloped the entire underground palace.
Then, a terrifying mouth full of fangs appeared.
At this moment, the Soul-Eating Demon seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move at all.
It could only watch as the huge mouth swallowed its body bit by bit.
"No! Don't eat me!!"
"I am the Soul Devouring Demon! There is an entrance to Hell here. I can send you back to Hell!"
"ah!!!"
Amid the terrified screams of the Soul-Eating Demon.
That big mouth swallowed it completely!
"puff!"
The screams stopped abruptly.
At the same time, the shaking of the entire underground palace subsided in an instant.
It seemed that all the soul-eating monsters that were attacking the church gate had disappeared.
And this soul-eating demon completely disappeared from this world.
A system prompt appears.
[You drove the demon in the Devouring Demon Box to devour the soul of the Soul Devouring Demon, killing it completely.]
[Obtained loot: Heart of Intermediate Strength]
[Obtained: Devil Transformation Skill Book (Gold)]
[Obtained: Madness Rune (Gold)]
[Obtain: Devil's Blood (Special Item)]
…
"Eh? You can get spoils this way?"
"Oh shit! So many things came out!"
Cao Xing was delighted.
Swallow this demon and two golden items will pop out!
Plus a heart of intermediate power and a drop of demon blood of unknown purpose.
Not to mention other rewards, the intermediate power heart alone can allow Dabai to directly break through to the third level and increase his strength dramatically!
At this moment, Cao Xing was already excited!
However, since the soul of the Soul-Eating Demon had already been devoured, no leader-level soul was revealed.
now.
The entire underground palace fell into complete silence.
Everyone was watching this scene in surprise, staring at the box in Cao Xing's hand.
That huge shadow still covered the entire underground palace.
It was another demon that was countless times more powerful than the Soul-Eating Demon!
The terrifying aura, just a little bit of it, was enough to make everyone feel helpless.
Paladin, who was an undead, fell to the ground and became stiff.
Fortunately, the demon was sealed in a box.
At this moment, the devil's voice sounded again.
"It's delicious...but I'm still hungry..."
"Human, as long as you do this for me..."
Without waiting for it to finish, Cao Xing closed the [Demon-Swallowing Box] with a "snap"!
He had not forgotten what Marita had told him.
Close the Demon Devouring Box immediately after using it and don't listen to anything the demon says.
As the saying goes, listen to advice and eat your fill.
At the same time, as Cao Xing closed the Demon-Devouring Box, the terrifying aura that permeated the entire underground palace dissipated instantly.
The Duke of Palatine, who was originally on the verge of death, gradually recovered.
He exclaimed!
"Oh my god! You killed it!"
"You used another demon to kill it!"
“You did it!”
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, Your Excellency, I killed the demon."
"From now on, you will no longer be threatened by the Soul-Eating Demon, and this underground palace will belong to you again."
Hearing this, the Duke of Palatine gradually stood up from the ground. He nodded with a complicated expression and said, "Yes, this place will belong to us Ascalonians again."
"Ever since the Soul Devouring Demon appeared, I have been waiting for this day."
"Now, a miracle finally happened!"
Cao Xing was stunned and asked in confusion: "Your Excellency the Duke, do you mean that you have actually been awake all along? Do you know that there are demons in the underground palace?"
"Yes, I was awake the whole time."
The Duke's ghost clenched his fists and said excitedly: "I know clearly that the demon is constantly opening the coffin and devouring the souls of us Ascalonians, but I have no way to stop it."
"I could only hide in the coffin, listening to the screams of my compatriots and the laughter of the devil..."
"Until all the Ascalon undead in the entire Kasha Cathedral were devoured by it, I still didn't dare to get out of the coffin."
"Because I know that once I get out, the entire underground palace will fall completely into the control of this soul-devouring demon."
"The devil often whispered beside my coffin. It thought I was asleep, but in fact I was always awake."
"You can't imagine how painful this period was for me!"
If the undead had not had tears, Paladin would have shed tears at this moment.
He has waited for this day for too long!
Everyone was looking at this excited ghost, and they could imagine how long he had been waiting in the coffin and how much mental torture he had endured.
After a moment.
The Duke of Palatine gradually recovered his composure and spoke gratefully.
"Thank you, young man whom I have never met before."
"Duke of Ascalon: Paladin Norton, I pay you the highest respect."
He looked at Cao Xing and bowed deeply.
[You killed the Soul Devouring Demon and returned the Underground Palace to its owner. The Ascalon Faction's favorability has increased. Current status: Friendly]
[You saved the Duke of Palatine, and his attitude towards you has changed. Current relationship: Friendly]
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing showed a hint of joy.
"Lord Cao Xing, greetings to you!"
The Duke of Palatine seemed to remember his name and nodded silently.
At this time, Cao Xing glanced at the broken sword held in the hand of Duke Palatine.
Although it is broken, you can still see the gems inlaid on the hilt and the sword blade that is as smooth as new.
Cao Xing asked tentatively, "Your Excellency the Duke, could this weapon be the ancient sword that the demon mentioned?"
Duke Palatine sighed, then nodded and said, "As you can see, this is indeed the ancient sword Magdel."
"However, it has been destroyed by the King himself, and this ancient sword no longer has the power it once had."
"Now it's just a sharp broken blade."
Cao Xing asked in confusion: "Destroyed?"
Duke Palatine nodded, "Yes."
"This is the spiritual symbol of us Ascalonians, the true sword of the king!"
"However, the failure of that war left His Majesty devastated."
"He refused to surrender, so he shattered the ancient sword and placed a curse on all of us Ascalonians..."
Having said this, the Duke of Palatine shook his head, as if he didn't want to continue.
Then he looked at Cao Xing and handed the broken sword in his hand to him.
"Well, as agreed, this broken sword now belongs to you."
And Cao Xing took it with almost extreme excitement!
The heavy metallic texture of the broken sword was felt, and a system prompt appeared.
[Obtained: Broken Ancient Sword - Magdale (Legendary)]
Cao Xing's breathing suddenly stopped!
Legendary weapons!
Although it is broken, it is still a legendary weapon in the true sense!
You know, he had been playing on the tablet for so long before, but he had never come into contact with any legendary props!
He couldn't wait to take a look at Magdale's attributes.
【Ancient Sword-Magdale (Broken)】

【Attack power: 1754~1941】
[Attached special effect ①: All attributes +200]

(Equipment Introduction: Magdel is a legendary sword from the Northern Continent, dating back to the time when the gods walked the earth. In a sense, Magdel and his sister sword, Suhasin, are gifts from the gods to Ascalon to protect peace.)
…
After reading the introduction of this legendary weapon, Cao Xing was shocked.
Each special effect is more terrifying than the last.
And as long as you hold this weapon, you can become the new king of Ascalon on the spot!
Whether it's given to Liu Muxue or Assam, as long as they reach level 30, they will be invincible on the spot, okay?
But unfortunately, such a powerful weapon was broken!
What a waste of resources!
Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity..."
Duke Palatine also nodded and said, "Yes, what a pity."
"We, the people of Ascalon, also hope to have a new king."
Cao Xing asked, "Is there any way to repair this legendary weapon?"
Duke Palatine thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Yes!"
Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up!
However, the next words of Duke Palatine dashed Cao Xing's hopes.
"But I don't know."
He simply rolled his eyes.
This duke is really interesting. I'm just teasing him here.
Duke Palatine continued, "Although I don't know the specific method, you can go to the treasure house in the underground palace and look for clues."
Speaking of the treasure house in the underground palace, Cao Xing immediately became interested.
"Don't you mean that we need to find someone with royal blood of Ascalon to open the treasure house?"
Duke Palatine nodded, "Yes, and I happen to know how to find the last royal bloodline of Ascalon."
"Before the king shattered the sword, we sent the last member of the royal family to the Kingdom of Orchids, which is our friendly country."
"I wonder if this kingdom still exists after all these years."
Cao Xing's expression brightened up immediately after hearing this!
The Youlan Kingdom is where the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters is located.
According to Assam, the entire Western Continent is very large, with a total of kingdoms and principalities of all sizes.
If not a thousand, at least eight hundred.
Add to that the many wilderness areas that have never been visited by humans, and the size of the Western Continent is completely beyond people's imagination.
So, Cao Xing nodded and said, "The Kingdom of Youlan still exists. If I have the chance, I will go there and look for the people from the Ascalon royal family you mentioned."
The Duke nodded, "That's good. I'm looking forward to that day because even I'm curious about what's in the underground palace."
At this moment, Cao Xing looked at the hundreds of open coffins in the church, and his thoughts came to life again.
He suddenly said, "Your Excellency the Duke, Lieutenant Carhan is waiting for you outside with other Ascalon Undead."
"Why don't you go out first and explain to him the situation in the underground palace?"
After hearing this, Duke Palatine immediately raised his head and said excitedly: "Lieutenant Karlhan is still alive. He really did not disappoint my expectations!"
He was about to leave immediately, but seemed to remember something and stayed where he was.
"However... our companions are still in the four major temples in the underground palace. I have to rescue them first."
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Duke, before rescuing you, I had already gone to the four great temples and rescued the other undead."
"So, you don't need to worry about these places."
Duke Palatine looked at Cao Xing with gratitude again.
Then he nodded and said, "It is our great fortune to meet you."
Hearing the Duke's grateful voice, Cao Xing had a faint smile on his face.
However, the fact is that Cao Xing wanted to urge Duke Palatine to get out quickly!
So he could start looting the coffins in the church for funerary objects!
There are at least six or seven hundred coffins here. It is hard to imagine how many burial bags there are!
Duke Palatine nodded and said, "In that case, I will go out first and meet up with Lieutenant Karhan."
Cao Xing nodded, "Go ahead, let's get some rest and come back later."
The Duke's ghost saluted Cao Xing.
Then he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
When his ghost was completely gone, Cao Xing smiled and said, "Okay, let's get started!"
After hearing this, all the recruited creatures on the field understood what Cao Xing meant.
They immediately scattered in all directions, and then began to search the entire church like mice in a rice jar.
The movements were so skillful, as if they had been rehearsed many times.
Even Ji Xinyue seemed nervous and expectant as she came to a coffin and searched for something inside.
Seeing this scene, Liu Muxue couldn't help laughing.
This little girl seems to have been corrupted by Cao Xing.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, went straight to the Duke's coffin and began to search around.
However, after searching the entire coffin, he found nothing.
Cao Xing's eyes widened, "Fuck! No?"
"Such a great duke, but he didn't bring any burial objects?"
"Oh my god!"
Everyone heard Cao Xing's resentful voice.
At this moment, Liu Muxue burst out laughing.
She comforted him softly, "Ah Xing, the Duke may have taken some burial objects with him. Have you forgotten? The broken sword in his hand was taken out of the coffin."
After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
What Liu Muxue said makes sense!
Paladin brought burial objects, and they were extremely valuable legendary weapons!
This weapon has also fallen into his hands.
Thinking of this, some of the regret in my heart disappeared.
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly noticed that a hint of gold seemed to appear where the statue of the goddess Kmil was originally located.
"Eh? Is there something else?"
Cao Xing walked over and immediately found a golden treasure chest hidden on the floor below. It was completely golden and had various patterns carved on its surface!
"Oh my god! A golden treasure chest!"
Cao Xing exclaimed!
At this moment, his breathing became a little rapid.
You know, he hasn't opened the golden treasure chest yet!
Even in the Dragon Shop, a golden treasure chest costs 100,000 Ice Dragon Marks!
Cao Xing rubbed his hands excitedly, and then came to the treasure chest impatiently.
[Found an unlocked golden treasure chest, do you want to open it? 】
"Open it!"
【Opened successfully. 】
[Obtain: Holy Light Redemption Skill Book (Gold)]
[Obtained: Holy Ring of the Kingdom (Gold)]
【Get: Large resource pack*1】
[Obtained: Evergrande Bar*12]
[Obtained: Magic Pattern Stone*1]
…
"Oh my god! A golden skill book, a golden ring, and materials I've never seen before!"
There was a strong look of shock in Cao Xing's eyes!
Needless to say, his luck has exploded with this wave of unboxing!
According to normal probability, a golden treasure chest will definitely contain a purple item, and there is a 50% chance of containing a gold item.
And for someone like him, directly opening two golden items, he was really lucky!
Including the golden item that just exploded from the Soul-Eating Demon, Cao Xing collected four golden items this time.
"It seems my luck points were not added in vain, hahaha!"
Cao Xing laughed.
Taking this opportunity, he decided to check the properties of these props!
The first one is a pitch-black skill book that faintly exudes the aura of the devil.
[Devil Transformation Skill Book (Gold): Lord Exclusive Skill Book]
[Skill Effect: Transform into a powerful demon, all attributes increased by 50%, all professional skills cannot be used, and new skills will be automatically learned, "Fire of Evil Thoughts", "Evil Explosion". "Soul Withering", the transformation lasts for 100 seconds, the cooldown time is five minutes, after the transformation state ends, it will fall into a weak state for 60 seconds, and all attributes will be reduced by 30%,]
(Note: As you can see, the power of the devil is very strong, but be careful when using it and don't sink into it.)
…
"Oh my god... Fire of Evil Thoughts, Soul Withering, isn't this the skill of the demon just now?"
"This skill book is quite powerful!"
Cao Xing clapped his hands without hesitation and directly clicked on the skill book to study!
[Successfully learned skill: Devil Transformation]
As for whether this skill can be enhanced by the talent [Eternal Power], it remains to be tested.
Cao Xing decided to try it again later, and then excitedly checked the second prop.
【The Book of Madness (Gold)】
[A book with the power of chaos. After use, it will randomly increase three attributes by 10~15 points. It cannot be used on lords.]
…
The Book of Madness is an advanced version of the Book of Chaos. There is no need to explain this in detail. It can greatly improve the attributes.
The three attributes added together increase by at least 30 points, which is very powerful!
Then, another drop of dark blood appeared in Cao Xing's hand...
…
