I saw Chuqi with his hands tied with a black rope, hanging on a beam, and being whipped by an evil spirit.

The demon looked extremely strange, like a mummy, but it was not covered with bandages, but a black belt-like substance wrapped around its entire body, which looked more like a paper tape or something.

And on top of the belt, there were many strange symbols emitting a faint white glow.

The rope that hung Chuqi was transformed from the belt-like object on the demon's body, and the whip that beat Chuqi was also transformed from the belt-like object.

Bang!

The whip transformed from the black belt hit Chuqi's body, causing him to groan. His white tights torn and a whip mark appeared on his body.

It can be seen that although this demon is very strange, its level should not be high, probably around D or C level.

Because its whip only left shallow marks on Chuqi and failed to seriously injure Chuqi, which shows that Chuqi's physical fitness is far superior to that of this evil spirit.

But Li Xiu was a little confused. This demon was obviously much lower in level than Chu Qi, so how did it hang Chu Qi up? Was there some kind of mechanism in the tower that could make Chu Qi, who was S-level, unable to resist?

The next second, Li Xiu's doubts were answered and he didn't feel confused for too long.

After the evil spirit whipped Chuqi, Chuqi broke free from the ropes that bound his hands. After falling to the ground, he rushed towards the evil spirit, wanting to kill it with one punch.

But what happened next made Li Xiu dumbfounded. The evil spirit swung out the black belt, and the black belt seemed to be alive. It wrapped around Chuqi's body and tied his hands and feet behind his back. Then it pulled hard and hung him up again.

Chuqi's body was suspended in the air in an indecent posture, and then he was whipped in the face by the evil spirit.

After one whip, Chuqi once again broke free from the ropes and tried to rush towards the evil spirit again.

But he was hung up again, and the posture was even more weird. Li Xiu couldn't bear to watch it.

There was a constant sound of whips, and Chuqi was hung up and beaten again and again. Although his physical fitness was much stronger than the opponent, he could not avoid the ropes. Once he was tied up and his joints were locked, he felt that he could not use any strength and could only be hung up and beaten.

Li Xiu could see that the black belt rope thrown by the evil spirit was almost 100% sure to hit him and he could not dodge it. Chu Qi could not break the black belt rope either, so he felt so uncomfortable.

What was a little strange was that Li Xiu did not see Chu Qi using the symbiotic contract. The boxing gloves in his hand should have been the ones he had just received the parasitic contract.

At this point, why didn't he use the Symbiosis Contract? If the Symbiosis Contract was a weapon like a sword, it would be possible to cut the black belt rope directly, and there wouldn't be so many problems.

But Chuqi seemed to have no way to deal with this somewhat strange evil spirit and was constantly beaten. Fortunately, his physical fitness was strong enough and the evil spirit could not really hurt him, only some minor skin injuries.

"Chuqi, I'll take care of it, you don't mind, right?" Li Xiu asked Chuqi.

"Hurry up." Chuqi, who was hanging on the beam like a butterfly, said without hesitation after hearing the words.

Li Xiu did not use the Black Death Legion, but instead summoned the Black Death Demon King back, and then walked towards the demon himself.

The mummy-like demon spirit saw Li Xiu coming over, and swung its arm wrapped in black belt. Immediately, a black belt rope flew over and wrapped around Li Xiu's body.

Li Xiu did not draw his sword to cut the black belt, but made a strange gesture.

He bowed to the evil spirit, and the black belt rope that was originally flying towards him did not wrap around Li Xiu's body. After Li Xiu bowed, it flew back by itself and wrapped around the evil spirit's arm again.

Chuqi was stunned. After breaking free, he did not rush over immediately. Instead, he stared at Li Xiu in a daze, muttering to himself with a complicated expression: "Are all demons so particular? They let me go after I bowed. What's going on? Do we have to be polite when killing demons?"

When the black belt of the demon spirit returned to his body, Li Xiu drew out the Fire Lotus Sword from his waist, rushed to the side of the demon spirit like a rainbow, and split the demon spirit's body in half with one sword.

The flame from the Fire Lotus Sword ignited the black belt on the demon spirit's body, and soon burned the demon spirit's body to ashes, leaving only a colorful magic core falling down.

"Sorry, I'll take this magic core." Li Xiu picked up the magic core with a smile.

"You killed the demon, so the things are naturally yours. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I also want to thank you for helping me out of this predicament." Chu Qi said as he strode towards the stairs leading to the third floor. He needed to resolve the doubts in his mind.

Li Xiu had no intention of stopping him. Judging from the demons on the second floor, there shouldn't be any very powerful demons appearing directly on the third floor.

Chuqi is an S-level boss after all. It is not easy for ordinary demons to kill him. The wounds from those whips just now have healed.

Li Xiu followed Chu Qi and went up to the third floor. After reaching the third floor, he found that there were still those evil spirits with black belts wrapped all over their bodies, like mummies.

When the evil spirit saw Chuqi rushing towards him, he immediately swung out the black belt rope. Chuqi saw the black belt rope flying towards him and did not dodge or evade, but bowed to the evil spirit.

Then he met with tragedy, as the black rope entangled his hands and feet and hung him up like a pig.

"What's going on? Why was Li Xiu not tied up when he bowed, but I was still tied up when I bowed?" Chuqi felt his head buzzing and had no idea what was going on.

Bang!

The whip from the evil spirit sobered him up a lot. After breaking free from the black belt rope, he bowed to the evil spirit again out of disbelief. As expected, he was hung up and beaten again.

Chuqi was a little dumbfounded. He clearly saw Li Xiu do it this way, so why did it work for Li Xiu but not for himself? He really couldn't understand.

"How about it be my turn?" Li Xiu laughed out loud.

Chuqi didn't understand the language of the Demonic Kingdom, so naturally he didn't understand what was going on.

In fact, the weaknesses of these evil spirits are already written on their bodies.

The white light symbols on the black belts are the characters of the Demonic Kingdom. The one written on the demon spirit before is "Yi Li".

So Li Xiu tried to do a bow, which is commonly known as the hand-clasping gesture, to see if it would work.

As a result, when he bowed, the black belt on the demon spirit actually flew back by itself, and its body seemed to pause for a moment, so Li Xiu was able to kill it easily.

Chuqi may look a little dull, but he is actually very smart and not a real fool.

When he saw Li Xiu using the bow ritual, he followed suit, not caring about his face at all.

Unfortunately, the white light symbol on the black belt of this demon spirit did not mean bowing, so it was of no use for him to bow.

"Do you want to change people?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Change people." Chuqi answered without hesitation.

Li Xiu walked towards the evil spirit, watched the evil spirit throw the black belt rope towards him, then he lowered his hands and bowed to the evil spirit.

With this bow, the black belt rope that was flying towards Li Xiu immediately flew back. Li Xiu rushed forward and killed the evil spirit again with the Fire Lotus Sword.

Unfortunately, nothing good was dropped, only a colorful magic core.

Chu Qi's eyes widened as he watched, thinking to himself, "Just now it was a bow, now it's a kowtow, why does killing a demon require so many etiquettes? Are you here to kill the demon or to learn etiquette?"

Although he complained in his heart, Chuqi finally figured out the trick. Before killing the evil spirit, one must be polite and show proper etiquette. Otherwise, not only will he fail to kill the evil spirit, but he will also be hung up and beaten.

Although this injury was nothing to him, it was still embarrassing to be beaten like this.

Chuqi gritted his teeth and went to the next floor.

Sure enough, there was another demon here with black belts wrapped all over its body, and it swung out the black belt rope as soon as it came up.

Chuqi bowed and kowtowed twice, thinking: "I respect you so much, just let me kill you."

Bang!

Chuqi was hung up and whipped again, and this time he was whipped harder than the previous two times. His white tights almost looked like a beggar's outfit, and red whip marks appeared on his body again.

"Why?" Chuqi burst into tears. He really didn't understand why things turned out like this.

Why can Li Xiu do it but he can't?

"Did I think wrong from the beginning? It's not a question of politeness at all? Do demons also look at faces? The pretty boy can do whatever he wants by bowing, but I will be hung up and beaten if I bow? It's not my fault that I'm ugly, and I don't want to have a dead face. I was born like this and I can't change it. There is still appearance discrimination when killing a demon. What the hell kind of world is this..." Chuqi was so depressed that he almost cursed.

"Illiterate people are really miserable." Seeing Chuqi being beaten again, Li Xiu secretly thanked his lucky stars that he had learned the demon language in the underworld house before and could understand the words on the bodies of those demons. Otherwise, if he was not careful, he might really be hung up and beaten.

This evil spirit was very strange. The black belt rope seemed to be able to bind all living things. Even the S-level Chuqi couldn't escape it, so he could not escape it even more.

"After I go back, I have to go to the Dark House to read more books and study the Demonic language more thoroughly. It may be useful in the future." Li Xiu made up his mind to learn Demonic literature well and resolutely not become illiterate.

"Chuqi, do you know why you are always beaten?" This time Li Xiu did not go up himself. He stood at the stairs and said to Chuqi.

"I know it's my appearance, you don't have to remind me." Chu Qi said gritting his teeth.

"What's the connection?" Li Xiu didn't know where Chu Qi got this conclusion from, so he could only say, "What does this have to do with your appearance? If the demon wants to beat you, will it care whether you are beautiful or ugly?"

"Then why does the demon stand there and let you kill it just because you bow and kowtow, but I get hung up and beaten when I do the same thing? Isn't it because of my appearance? There is absolutely no problem with my character." Chu Qi said unconvinced.

"You think too much." Li Zheng said calmly, "Well, if you believe me, just do as I say. I promise you can kill these demons at will."

"Okay, what do you tell me? " Chuqi broke free from the black belt rope again and said after falling to the ground.

"Worship it." Li Xiu said directly.

The reason why Li Xiu didn't go up himself this time was because the word "kowtow" was written on the body of this demon spirit, and he didn't want to kowtow to a demon spirit.

But the demons here are really a bit weird. They actually write their weaknesses on their bodies, and also have various etiquette.

What's even more strange is that after the person is hung up by the black belt rope, the rope will automatically loosen with just one whip. This doesn't look like fighting monsters, but more like teaching people etiquette.

When Chuqi heard Li Xiu asking him to bow, he was stunned at first, then he gritted his teeth, and actually knelt in front of the evil spirit with a plop, bent his legs, and bowed directly to the evil spirit.

As he bowed, the black belt rope thrown by the demon spirit failed to bind him. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the black belt rope flew back, Chuqi jumped up suddenly. The boxing gloves on his fists glowed with black light, and he punched the demon spirit's chest with one punch, making a big hole.

He was really depressed just now, and now he finally vented his anger. He instantly felt a lot better.

"Do you want to continue? If you want to continue, I'll tell you to do it and we'll split what we get equally, how about that?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

Chuqi nodded, which was considered as his agreement. In fact, he wanted to know more about what these evil spirits were, but he didn't have the courage to ask.

Li Xiu actually knew how to deal with these evil spirits. In his opinion, Li Xiu would certainly not tell him such a secret casually.

The two went up to another level, and there were actually two evil spirits on this level.

Chu Qi looked at Li Xiu. Li Xiu glanced at the two demons and said only one sentence to Chu Qi:

"The one on the left bows, and the one on the right kowtows."

Chuqi then rushed forward, bowed and saluted twice in a row, and sent the two evil spirits away in one wave.

Li Xiu and Chu Qi were killing the demons one by one, and they were constantly charging towards higher levels.

Most of the monsters in this tower are colorful monsters. There are basically no ordinary monsters. Those killed before were only D-level or C-level.

The higher they went, the more demons there were, but there were only three types: bowing, kowtow and kneeling. The two of them went up more than a dozen floors and did not find any other ceremonial demons.

Although they are all colorful magic spirits, the probability of dropping something is still not high. I killed dozens of colorful magic spirits, but I didn't see a magic ring, let alone a talent gem.

Chuqi is definitely not a fool. After killing so many demons, he has also noticed that the symbols on those demons are somewhat different. They probably correspond to bowing, kowtow and kneeling.

"Those symbols correspond to different etiquette, right?" Chu Qi asked Li Xiu.

"Not bad." Li Xiu nodded.

"You can actually understand these symbols!" Chu Qi did not feel complacent about discovering the secret. Instead, he admired Li Xiu even more.

"You can understand a little bit. The more you look at it, the more you will understand it. Now you have understood these symbols." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"That's different. Without you, I would never have guessed the meaning of these symbols." Chu Qi said seriously, "You discovered the real way to pass the magic tower, and let me know how to kill these demons. These are too important to me or the entire White Night City. With these, White Night City will be able to retain trialists in the future and cultivate its own trialists. I should thank you on behalf of White Night City."

"What is there to thank me for? I don't think Bai Ye City would look down on these." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Chu Qi said helplessly: "Trialists are the general trend. Whether Bai Ye City is willing to accept it or not, this world will be a common stage for magic costume masters and trialists in the future. This place will be useful sooner or later."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "If Chu Jun can inherit the position of city lord, the trialists will definitely have a place in Baiye City in the future."

Chu Qi understood what Li Xiu meant and said expressionlessly: "Master has raised me, and I am only loyal to him."

Li Xiu smiled and said nothing more, and the two continued to move to higher levels.

"I can already understand the symbols, so you don't have to waste your breath. The things will still be divided equally." Chu Qi said as he walked towards the group of seven or eight demons. His majestic figure was domineering and unparalleled, as if he was a god of death who was going to massacre the battlefield.

Then they would go up and do a set of three actions: bowing, kowtow and kneeling.

ah!

Chuqi had just finished three consecutive attacks and before he could stand up, he was hung up and beaten by seven or eight evil spirits, making him scream in pain.

"What a naive guy!" Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw Chuqi being constantly entangled by seven or eight evil spirits and having no chance to fall down.

"What's going on? Why isn't it working?" Chuqi asked while screaming.

"You got the order wrong." Li Xiu explained: "Didn't you see? There is a demon with two symbols on it. You must perform the etiquette represented by the two symbols in order. You can't mess up the order."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Chuqi burst into tears.

"Didn't you say that you recognized it? And before I could even say anything, you had already rushed up." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Chu Qi was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth and said, "There are too many demons. They don't give me a chance to untie them. I can only rely on you."

Li Xiu also knew that he could not count on Chuqi, so he had to do it himself.

When Chuqi saw Li Xiu coming, he opened his eyes wide and waited for Li Xiu to bow, kowtow and kowtow. He had been bowing, kowtow and kowtow all the way, and now it was Li Xiu's turn.

Who knew that Li Xiu stopped before he came over and directly summoned out the Black Death Demon King.

The Lord of Black Death summoned a bunch of minions, and the black belts thrown by seven or eight demons were simply unable to entangle them and were directly overwhelmed by the Legion of Black Death.

"This... this also works..." Chuqi was stunned. He had been kneeling and bowing for a long time, but it was all unnecessary. There was no need to be so troublesome. As long as there were more people, it would be fine.

"You are an S-level trialist after all. Get more magic spirits in the future. Don't do everything yourself. A trialist should behave like a trialist." Li Xiu said with a smile: "If you want to buy magic spirits, you are welcome to visit the City of Light at any time. I will give you a 20% discount."

"No, I will kill the demon myself and get the Demon Ring." Chu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "There is no need to share today's harvest. You don't need me at all. I can't take the things."

"That's not the way I put it. Just because I don't need you now doesn't mean I won't need you in the future. There are still many levels above. As the saying goes, raise your troops for a thousand days and use them in one moment. Just divide them how you need to. When I need you again, it will be fine as long as you don't let me down." Li Xiu said, pointing upwards.
