Li Xiu and his team chose the opposite direction of the previous city gate and arrived at another city gate.

Before getting close to the city gate, I heard the faint sound of ghosts crying.

The voice sounded mournful and resentful, as if it was the sound of weeping coming from the underworld, and it gave people goosebumps when they heard it.

“There won’t be a female ghost outside, right?” Chu Jun’s eyes lit up.

"There is definitely no female ghost, but maybe there is a female demon spirit. What do you think?" Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun and smiled.

"When I was a child, my grandfather often told me stories about female ghosts repaying favors. After hearing them so many times, I couldn't help but want to be like Feifei." Chu Jun was not reserved at all and laughed.

"I always thought that only men who are not good-looking would have such thoughts. I didn't expect that a guy like you with delicate features would also have such thoughts." Li Xiu laughed.

"Do you dare to say that you have never had this thought?" Chu Jun and Li Xiu looked at each other, everything was said without words, and they both laughed.

"Disgusting." The bandit said coldly.

"Let's see what's outside." Li Xiu said to Chu Jun.

Chu Jun nodded and used his inspiration skills to begin sensing the outside world.

After a while, the expression on Chu Jun's face became a little strange.

"What's going on?" Li Xiu frowned and asked when he saw Chu Jun didn't say anything.

"It seems like there are evil spirits outside, but it also seems like there are no evil spirits... Could it be... there really is a ghost..." Chu Jun said with a strange expression.

"Oh, is your inspiration skill reliable?" Li Xiu sighed.

"I used to think it was very reliable, but today I'm not so confident." Chu Jun pondered and said, "Let me put it this way, I sensed that there is a demon spirit outside, but I couldn't sense its level and name, and sometimes this demon spirit would appear within my perception range, but sometimes it would suddenly disappear, and after a while it would be there again..."

After hearing this, Li Xiu turned around and left: "Let's go to the city gates in other directions to have a look."

The three of them ran to another city gate, and Chu Jun used his inspiration skills again.

"How is it?" Li Xiu and A Fei both looked at him.

"I sensed that there are a lot of evil spirits outside the city gate, at least thousands of them. Let me sense them carefully... There are E-level... D-level... C-level ones... Wow... there are even B-level and A-level ones... The sensing range is full of evil spirits, and I don't know if there are any outside the range..." Chu Jun said.

"Is this reliable?" Li Xiu listened to how quiet it was outside the city gate, without any sound at all. It was really hard to imagine that there were so many evil spirits outside.

"If you don't believe me, go out and take a look." Chu Jun curled his lips.

"There is only one city gate left." Li Xiu turned and left. He didn't want to die.

There are thousands of evil spirits outside the gate. If they all rush in once the city gate is opened, it’s hard to say whether we will have a chance to blow out the lanterns.

The three of them arrived at the last city again. It was also quiet outside the city gate, without any sound at all.

Chu Jun lay on the inside of the city gate and sensed it for a long time before he stood up and said to Li Xiu, "No, there is not a single demon spirit within a thousand-meter range."

Li Xiu and A Fei looked at him without saying anything.

"Don't look at me like that. I really don't have any sense of anything. I am not a demon spirit. You have to believe me." Chu Jun was a little anxious.

"Open the city gate." Li Xiu summoned the Jedi Knight, the demigod Setsuna and the Cupid Archer, and asked them to stand in a row inside the gate. In case something rushed in as soon as the city gate was opened, they would be prepared.

"Am I so untrustworthy?" Chu Jun said depressedly.

"If you don't believe me, you won't open the door." Li Xiu said with a smile as he and the Fei turned the winch.

"But your actions make me feel that I'm not trusted." Chu Jun curled his lips.

"That's your psychological problem. You have to learn to overcome your psychological barriers by yourself." As he spoke, the city gate was slowly raised. It was quiet outside and nothing happened.

"Huh!" Chu Jun lay on the ground, looking out from the gap below, and made a sound of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiu heard Chu Jun's voice didn't sound like fear, but more like surprise, so he didn't rush to lower the winch.

"How strange, come and see for yourself." Chu Jun waved at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu asked the bandit to control the winch, and came to the city gate. He lowered his head and looked outside, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

There was a long dark night inside the Black Death City, and there was no light except the fire.

But outside the city gate, the setting sun was shining obliquely, with the red sun hanging in the sky, reflecting the clouds like fire covering the sky.

The endless yellow desert outside was also covered with a layer of red under the setting sun. The tall cactus plants stood still in the distance, like a beautiful oil painting of the desert style.

After the bandit fixed the winch, he walked over and was also stunned when he saw the scene outside.

The city and outside the city are like two different worlds, one is the pitch-black night, the other is the desert under the setting sun.

Chu Jun looked at the sky inside the city, then looked at the sky outside the city, and said with a strange look, "Is this the same sky?"

"Not like it." said the bandit.

"Is there a sea in the desert?" Li Xiu suddenly asked.

"I don't know. I have never seen an ocean in the desert. There is probably a lake at most." Chu Jun knew what Li Xiu meant. He walked out of the city gate and looked around and said, "It's really strange. Why can't I see the Black Sea here?"

"I'm afraid the four city gates here lead to different places." Li Xiu asked the bandit to stay inside to guard the capstan, and he walked out, looking around and said.

All he could see was desert, but unfortunately, since he was wearing the Mirror of Darkness, he couldn't see too far.

I took off my glasses and looked again. All I could see was yellow sand and nothing else.

"This is a bit difficult. It seems that there is no demon nearby, and we don't have any positioning tools. If we go out like this, we might get lost in the desert and can't come back. It will be terrible." Chu Jun pondered and said, "There are four gates. The seaside is too dangerous. There are no demons here. There is a female ghost outside one gate, and there are thousands of demons outside another gate. They are not going to give us a way out."

Li Xiu walked around the city gate, but didn't dare to leave it too far away, and he didn't find any evil spirits or anything like that.

Chu Jun followed Li Xiu and used his inspiration skills to sense, but he also found no trace of the evil spirit.

Li Xiu was originally wondering if it was possible that the evil spirit was hiding under the sand, but now it seems that is not the case, as there is indeed no evil spirit nearby.

"Let's go to the gate where there are more demons. You draw the locations and levels of the demons." Li Xiu returned to the city, put down the city gate, and said to Chu Jun beside him.

"Okay." Chu Jun also knew that their best option at the moment was to go out through that door to hunt the evil spirits, otherwise they would have to go back home.

Arriving at the city gate, Chu Jun drew on the ground while sensing, and drew out the distribution of the demons outside, directly using B, C, D, and E to represent the positions of the demons.

"It's probably like this." Chu Jun drew out the positions of the main demons.

"Don't be rough, be careful, mark the location of each demon spirit, including all the E-level ones." Li Xiu said.

"Okay." Chu Jun nodded and continued drawing on the ground.

"City Lord, I've made up my mind." Ye Yuzhen walked over, looked at Li Xiu and said slowly.

"What have you thought of?" Li Xiu stood up and asked Ye Yuzhen.

"I will continue on the path of a trial-taker. My symbiotic contract is not good enough, and I don't have a demon spirit, but these can be compensated. If the symbiotic contract doesn't work, I will look for a parasitic contract. Although it is difficult for a parasitic contract to grow, I will definitely find a parasitic contract that suits me. No matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to make it grow." Ye Yuzhen looked at Li Xiu and continued, "I can't help you now, so I won't cause you any trouble. If there is anything I can do, you can call me at any time."

After that, Ye Yuzhen approached Li Xiu and whispered in a voice that only Li Xiu could hear: "My symbiotic contract is called the Ring of Promise. It is not a combat weapon and has no offensive ability, but it can sign a contract with any demon spirit and make the demon spirit work for me."

Li Xiu looked at Ye Yuzhen and thought, "Does he have any misunderstanding about the quality of a contract? If a contract like this is not considered good, then what other contracts can be considered good?"

"The Ring of Promise has limitations. Only the demon I defeat myself can sign a contract with it. What kind of demon can I defeat now?" Seeing Li Xiu's thoughts, Ye Yuzhen explained.

"Can you use external objects?" Li Xiu asked in a low voice.

"Both the contract and the demon spirit are fine, but they must be my own." Ye Yuzhen said.

"Where is the magic suit?" Li Xiu asked again.

"I don't have the talent to be a magic armor master." Ye Yuzhen said bitterly.

"What if the demon you defeated was already half-crippled?" Li Xiu thought for a moment and asked again.

"I've thought about this, but I haven't had a chance to try it."

"That's easy. You'll have a chance to try it later." Li Xiu pointed at the map Chu Jun drew on the ground and said, "First, remember the locations of those demons. Maybe they'll be useful later."

"Okay." Ye Yuzhen walked over, stared at the map of the demons' locations on the ground and began to memorize.

Chu Jun marked out the levels and locations of the demons he could sense, and sat down on the ground after finishing his work: "This is more tiring than fighting a battle with a demon."

"You will be able to fight the evil spirits soon." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"No way, do you really want me to rush out too? Are you sure you won't die if you go out like this? My fighting ability is very weak, and I don't have as many demons as you have to protect me..." Chu Jun stared at Li Xiu with his eyes wide open.

"You don't have to rush out, but you have to help me guard the city gate. With so many demons, I'm bound to make mistakes by myself. If a demon rushes over, you have to guard the gate with them and don't let the demon rush in." Li Xiu said.

"I'll try my best. We don't know what grade the demons outside are. If a brilliant demon rushes over, I won't be able to stop it." Chu Jun said.

Li Xiu smiled. There was one good thing about Chu Jun. Although he was a little arrogant and unreliable at times, he would never act recklessly at critical moments. He would do things within his capabilities and never take on too much.

"Okay, just do your best." Li Xiu nodded with a smile.

"You guys guard the door, I'll go out and take a look. Open the door." Li Xiu said.

"You asked me to draw it in such detail, don't you even take a closer look?" Chu Jun said, pointing at the map.

"No need." Li Xiu came to the door without summoning the demon spirit first.

He lay down beside the door. Ah Fei and Ye Yuzhen turned the winch together. The stone door gradually rose up. Li Xiu looked out through the crack in the door.

It was a sunny morning outside, and the morning light was a little dazzling. Fortunately, the Dark Mirror made Li Xiu's eyes not afraid of the sunlight, but he still couldn't see clearly.

But after seeing the situation outside clearly, Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.

The imagined group of demons did not appear, let alone thousands of demons, there was not even a single demon.

Outside was a canyon with a fairly flat ground. Both sides were almost ninety-degree vertical mountain walls that were at least several hundred meters high.

"Strange, why is there no evil spirit?" Chu Jun, who was also lying on the ground looking out, suddenly became unconfident.

Since arriving in the Black Death City, his self-confidence has been hit again and again.

Li Xiu didn't say anything, he just summoned the Black Death Demon and let it rush forward.

The Black Death had not rushed out far when a skeleton emitting green gas suddenly emerged from the ground.

It is not quite accurate to call it a skeleton. It looked more like a mechanical skeleton made of metal, and it was very similar to the half-human, half-skeleton demon that Li Xiu had killed before.

However, this skeleton does not have the human half. Its entire body is made of metal machinery. Green gas is coming out of its body, and there is a green heart in its chest.

It was actually holding a huge metal syringe in its hands.

Yes, it is the kind of syringe that doctors use for injections, but this syringe is a bit big, as thick as an arm, the piston core rod is pulled out, and including the needle at the front end, the length is at least one meter and two meters.

Green smoke was still coming out of the needle hole at the tip of the needle.

After the Black Death Demon came out, it was like disturbing a hornet's nest, and strange mechanical skeletons crawled out from the ground in the valley.

They all look similar, and they all hold metal syringes in their hands.

Fortunately, there is no brilliance on them. They are not even colorful magic spirits, but just ordinary magic spirits.

The mechanical skeleton monster in the front rushed over, holding a metal syringe, and stabbed the Black Death Demon into him.

The Black Death Demon burst the shackles with his hands, and the broken black crystal chain turned into a whip of light, which lashed at the mechanical skeleton demon and directly broke it in half.

The Black Death Demon was so powerful that he whipped the mechanical skeletons into pieces. No mechanical skeleton could withstand his whip.

Suddenly, four metal arms stretched out from under the feet of the Black Death, two metal arms grabbed his left foot, and two metal arms grabbed his right foot.

The Black Death Demon struggled hard twice, but was unable to break free.

While he was distracted, a C-class mechanical skeleton rushed over from the side and stabbed the Black Death with a needle.

Li Xiu did not summon other demons to rescue him, but just watched calmly.

"I told you to look at the map carefully, but you didn't listen." Chu Jun sighed.

Li Xiu didn't say anything. He knew the locations of all the mechanical skeletons. He knew there were mechanical skeletons underneath. If he controlled it deliberately, the Black Death would not go over there.

The reason why Li Xiu let the Black Death Demon step in even though he knew there were evil spirits was because he wanted to know what the contents of those metal syringes were used for.

He was worried about releasing other demons into battle without finding out what was in the syringe.

Theoretically speaking, the Black Death Demon has no physical body. His body is just armor on the outside, and inside is a mass of black gas, so he should not be afraid of poison.

If the metal syringe contains poison, it should be useless against the Black Death.

But when the metal syringe pierced into the body of the Black Death Demon, and the mechanical skeleton pushed the piston rod to inject the contents into the Black Death Demon's body, a strange scene happened.

Green gas emerged from the part where the Black Death was stabbed. He whipped the C-level mechanical skeleton arm and broke it, but the green gas on his body was still spreading.

You can see that starting from the pinhole, a green pattern is spreading on the Black Death Demon's armor.

Wherever those green patterns went, the originally black armor of the Black Death Demon gradually turned into green metal.

"The contents of the metal syringe can turn other life forms into metal?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

He had seen spirits that could use magic light to turn matter into metal before, but this was the first time he had seen a spirit that could use a syringe to turn life into metal.

Although the levels and grades of these demons were not high, it was surprising that the contents of the syringe could actually make the brilliant demons fall victim to it.

The green metal spread across the Black Death Demon's body. Although the speed was not fast, there was no sign of stopping.

The Black Death Demon was still fighting, and Li Xiu summoned it back with a thought.

The Black Death Demon transformed into a magic ring and returned to Li Xiu's finger. There was a bit of green on the black crystal-like ring. The green spot had a metallic texture and was still spreading.

"What a powerful thing!" Li Xiu summoned the demigod Setsuna and Cupid Archer, but did not summon the Jedi Knight.

Jedi Knight is a close combat warrior after all, so this situation is not very suitable for him.

Demigod Setsuna and Cupid Archer can both attack purely from a distance, leaving those mechanical skeletons no chance.

Two demons were guarding in front of the city gate, shooting wildly at the groups of demons rushing over.

At the beginning, Chu Jun and his companions were worried that there were too many mechanical skeletons and the two demons might not be able to handle them.

But when Chu Jun saw the demigod Shanta shooting the mechanical skeletons one by one, continuously blowing up their hearts, and the Cupid Archer making the mechanical skeletons kill each other, his eyes widened.

"This demon spirit is really...amazing..." Chu Jun was so envious that his saliva was about to flow out.

Ye Yuzhen was even more shocked. There were many videos of magic armor masters slaughtering evil spirits that could be found by searching on the Internet.

But now it was demons slaughtering demons, and these two demons belonged to the same human. He had never seen such a scene before.

Ye Yuzhen was deeply shocked by the tyranny of the demigod Setsuna and the strange light arrows of the God of Love Archer, and became more determined to continue on the path of a trial-taker.

The magic armor master still needs to go into battle himself, but the trial-taker does not need to do anything himself. He only needs to summon the magic spirit to solve all problems.

"Trial-taker... can also be very strong... so strong that even magic armor masters of the same level can't catch up..." Looking at the back figure standing in front of the city gate, Ye Yuzhen's eyes became more and more determined.
