Chapter 18 Chapter 18 She is a qualified gambler.
Sure enough, I still have doubts.
Lin Miao sighed inwardly.
The first time he was bitten by desire was like a devastating hurricane. Even so, Errol still did not completely lose his basic rationality and suspicion.
In terms of both character and ability, this suddenly awakened Lustful Capital is far more dangerous than the Enraged Capital, and the difficulty of conquering him is several times greater.
Lin Miao's eyebrows knitted inwards slightly, but she looked innocent. "Of course. What does Lord Errol want me to do?"
"I remember you were curious about what was on the top floor of this castle." The devil laughed preparedly.
Top floor?
Lin Miao immediately recalled the strange black barrier that he had almost forgotten, as well as Reese’s advice - don’t touch it if you don’t want to die.
"Yes. Do you want to clear this up for me?"
"Inside is the trial ground created by the 'Demon King' you're interested in." His voice became alluring and sinister. "It's used to test his subordinates... Whether it's desires or delusions, good or evil, the innermost thoughts of any living being will be exposed there."
"How about my dear little pet go for a walk and show your loyalty to me?"
The barrier was actually related to the Demon King? This was an unexpected surprise for Lin Miao.
...will they be able to find answers to the many mysteries surrounding the "Demon King"?
Or, lose everything?
The threat of her inner feelings being exposed and the excitement of touching more secrets were competing with each other, and the excitement was no less than walking on a tightrope, making her heart beat almost out of her chest.
Errol's eyelashes trembled, his expression unclear: "Your heart is beating so fast... Are you scared? Do you want to refuse?"
"No, I do." Lin Miao rested his forehead against Errol's cheek and said in a muffled voice, "Although I am a little scared, I want to prove my loyalty to Lord Errol even more."
--It doesn't matter.
She is a qualified gambler.
…
By drawing on the blood of Cerberus, the solid barrier was torn open, leaving a crack only wide enough for one person to enter.
A strange, indescribable thirst immediately absorbed Lin Miao's entire mind. Without even bothering to look at Errol, she almost couldn't wait to step into the thick black fog.
Behind her, pain flashed in the demon's eyes, and his delicate features twisted into a ball.
…
hot.
All the moisture in the air was drained away, flames flowed around her body, fiery red and bright yellow occupied her entire field of vision, as if she was in a huge furnace.
As soon as Lin Miaofu entered, the tempting thirst disappeared completely, and a powerful force pulled her into the sea of fire.
,
The heat continued to burn her skin, giving Lin Miao a tortured feeling, but the degree was just right so as not to make her faint.
She tried to move her body, looking for a possible exit. However, every time Lin Miao thought she could take a step forward, the scorching air would drag her back, throwing her up and down, over and over again, like a game of cat and mouse.
Lin Miao: “…”
She asked, when the Hell HR Demon Lord recruits employees, does the first test be the subordinates' tolerance for boiling water?
The girl curled her lips and called up the panel in her mind.
She feels unworthy of such a blessing, so she should leave it to the three-headed dog.
Skill——"All Things Stop War"
The Angel's gift was incredibly reliable, even within the Demon King's illusion. The moment the protective shield was cast, all torment was blocked out.
Then, the flames that were originally flowing disorderly seemed to have gained consciousness and circled around her in a clockwise direction, faster and faster.
The strong airflow supported Lin Miao's body and lifted her up at an incredible speed.
Lin Miao, who used to be intimidated by the high-altitude facilities in modern amusement parks, never imagined that one day he would experience the thrill of an "out-of-control elevator" in the magic world.
The excessive feeling of being overweight caused the acid in her stomach to surge up her throat. She curled up into a ball and tried hard to look up.
The black top gradually appeared in her field of vision, but the speed of the airflow did not slow down.
Lin Miao was ready to collide with the "ceiling", but just as she was about to hit the top, the solid rock slab suddenly split to the sides, and the air flow threw her out of the sea of fire with a strong force, slowly landing on the hard stone surface.
The brightly colored environment suddenly turned into a deadly dark silence. Lin Miao was unable to adapt for a moment. Just as he was about to close his eyes, a strong sense of crisis came over him.
In a flash, she rolled onto the ground, curled up in a tight position. A deep purple light flashed, and with a loud bang, the area where she had been lying was blown to pieces.
Lin Miao was extremely thankful that she had used the skill beforehand, because in the next second, countless magical powers filled with cruel murderous intent came one after another, but were dissipated by the protective shield around her.
She climbed up from the ground and saw clearly that she was on a high peak in the vast mountain range. In all directions, all over the mountains and plains, there were demons of strange shapes and a huge number of ugly monsters wielding various knives.
Lin Miao: “…”
Her fingertips trembled and she almost couldn't breathe.
What is this?!
After going through fire and water, will you test your "chopping resistance"?
...The Demon King's subordinates are quite talented :)
The one standing in the front was a burly man with a pair of goat horns on his head, a handsome face, and a scar on his forehead. He was also the first to attack her and should be the leader of this group of demons.
At this moment, he was surprised and confused by her unharmed state, and his fierce face was full of vigilance.
The skill is effective for a quarter of an hour.
Lin Miao calculated the remaining time and tried to communicate with Yang Yangjiao, "Why do you want to kill me?"
The demon smiled grimly upon hearing this, "Do I need a reason to kill you?"
"Today, you will definitely die!"
He was smarter than Lin Miao thought. Seeing that magic had no effect on her, he strode towards her, obviously wanting to transcend her physically.
Lin Miao's mind raced, and the intention to activate the teleportation skill suddenly changed direction and pressed another icon.
Thick thorns instantly wrapped around the goat-horned demon's limbs, pinning him to the spot. The poisonous stings pierced his flesh, and the demon groaned in pain.
Just as the demons close to her were about to make a move, Lin Miao raised her hand, and another large patch of thorns broke out of the ground, and screams rang out one after another.
For a moment, no one dared to take another step forward.
Seeing this, Lin Miao nodded in satisfaction and politely asked again: "Now, can you tell me why you want me to die?"
Goat Horn struggled hard, his face ferocious, "If you have the guts, keep trapping me, otherwise I will never give up hunting you down!"
"Why be so impetuous?" Lin Miao paused, recalling the contents about demons in those books, and patiently persuaded him.
"You've been poisoned by my thorns. Only I can save you. One reason in exchange for your life, isn't it worth it?"
"Hasn't the reason you've cultivated so hard up to this point been to occupy a larger territory and gain better resources? Are you willing to have everything you've worked so hard for taken away by other demons?"
"Since you already know, why are you asking?" Goat Horn looked at her like she was an idiot. "Of course I have to eliminate anything that might threaten me!"
Something that threatens him?
she?
Lin Miao was confused for a moment, and then it was as if he had suddenly been enlightened.
No, how could it be "her"?
Ziler's words once again lingered in her ears -
The highest mountain in hell gathers the evil energy from all around, and the boiling magma breeds unrivaled powerful life.
The one who came to the Hell Mountains from the flames was obviously the Demon King!
In the illusion He created, the role played by each trial-taker is Himself!
Then, everything she is experiencing now should be what the devil himself has experienced.
Looking around at the demons that were eyeing him hungrily, and thinking of what the angel said about "swallowing countless monsters", Lin Miao's eyes flashed with a hint of deep meaning - the so-called "swallowing", was it really the Demon King who took the initiative?
Now is not a good time to think. Since he already knows that the plot in the illusion will have a fixed development, Lin Miao is unwilling to waste time on this not-so-nice plot point. He clicks "Apparition" without hesitation and moves to the next link.
Before she could stand firmly, she heard a "pa" sound and felt a dull pain on her forehead. Then some sticky liquid dripped down her nose, feeling cool and slippery.
With the smell of egg liquid.
Lin Miao: “…”
There are also experts.
She was really a little dazed.
Isn't this the Demon King's memories?!
A powerful, vicious demon king and being pelted with eggs, they just don't seem to fit together, right?!
Lin Miao looked up with grief and anger, and saw a large group of people gathered in front of him, men and women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin, all with the same expression on their faces.
Rejection, disgust, and unconcealable fear.
The middle-aged man in the lead was holding a small glowing white jade statue in his hand, his brows furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川", and his glance at her was filled with hatred and fear.
He said, "Today, my beloved daughter was nearly killed by you, a vicious demon. Fortunately, the angel statue protected her and saved her life, stopping you, a filthy creature worse than an animal, from committing such evil!"
"Angels above, may the holy light drive this evil demon from the world!"
"You're worse than an animal!" A delicate little girl stood behind the man, holding an egg. She poked her head out and imitated her father's words, "You've harmed my sister, get out of this world!"
"That's right, you dirty thing, go back to your hell!" a woman said viciously, and the crowd started to shout.
"Go back to hell!"
"Go back to hell!"
The instinctive fear of the devil seemed to have disappeared at this moment, leaving only hatred that he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible.
Rotten leaves, sprouted potato pieces, and black unknown objects hit her one after another.
...If she had known that the next plot would be like this, she might as well have admired the furious face of the handsome guy with goat horns for a while longer!
Lin Miao wanted to dodge sideways, but she felt as if her legs were tied with heavy stone blocks, firmly fixed and unable to move at all.
A thought that did not belong to her was forcefully hammered into her mind—
Not me.
Not the devil.
He never hurt that girl.
He...
It was to save her.
