Chapter 68 and the demon clan exploded!
Watching Stellan's body disappear on the spot, the body of the Crucible Knight turned into smoke and dissipated.
Gong Qiying appeared here using the teleportation authority.
"It was split in two. Can the teleportation crystal also teleport both halves of the body? This recognition is too smart."
He sighed.
At first, I wanted to let Stellan go, but then I changed my mind and thought, what if she was found out? The Crucible Knights have killed all the demons, why would they let you go? Is there someone behind this?
Well, normal people probably wouldn’t think that there is someone controlling the dungeon, but it’s always a good idea to be on guard.
Gong Qiying summoned several zombies and ordered them to move the corpses of the demons together.
“This is the second time,”
He squatted down and fiddled with the twisted flesh of the demons. Light white mist rose from the corpses and penetrated into his body.
As mentioned before, Gong Qiying's zombie body can absorb the remaining vitality from the corpse to become stronger. The vitality of the demons is several times that of other races of the same strength, which is a great tonic for the zombies.
Absorbing this time is equivalent to spending dozens of points of mental energy to upgrade.
But this time his focus was not on absorbing vitality.
This was the second time that demons invaded the dungeon, and they even infiltrated the adventurers' group and started a massacre.
This is the second time, and it’s hard to say whether there will be a third, fourth, or even more.
This also confirmed that these demons were indeed hiding in Bed City by disguising themselves as humans.
But is it really a disguise?
Is it possible that these demons were actually humans before they transformed into demons?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the invincible demon detection magic would fail.
There must be a mastermind behind all these problems, and the only way to answer them is to catch him.
The biggest advantage of going to the outside world is that it allows Gong Qiying to freely collect information, such as the magic of detecting demons, which he learned from inquiries.
As for the mastermind behind the demon incident, he did have some clues.
Timda, the owner of the shop he currently rents, is an official member of the Anti-Dungeon Organization and is said to have a high status in the organization.
This guy has been on the run for a long time, and no one knows his whereabouts.
Morgan, Yayi, and Yaer, who mutated into demons, were all members of the anti-dungeon organization. Tamda had many connections with them, and the demons fled as soon as the incident happened.
So, he must know something.
"It would be great if we could catch him," Gong Qiying thought, how can we find out the whereabouts of Timda?
The simplest way is to capture a demon and interrogate him, but these demons have problems with their intelligence and can only howl.
Hey, there is an answer.
Just catch them before they transform into demons.
His crystal ball has a playback function. After the demons appeared here, Gong Qiying immediately understood the cause and effect through the playback. In the process, he realized that when the demons were still human, they had normal intelligence.
If you can interrupt them and capture them before they transform, you can get some information from them.
This was undoubtedly a difficult challenge, because he didn't know which adventurer would turn into a demon, and he didn't know whether the transformation could be interrupted.
but
"Huh," Gong Qiying smiled, "It's more interesting when it's difficult."
He likes to challenge others, and he doesn't mind others challenging him. It's fun when there is a give and take.
And the demons have successfully aroused his interest.
At this moment, a zombie suddenly came over dragging something. Gong Qiying took a look and found that it was the corpse of the adventurer.
These people were killed by the demons, and their deaths were tragic. It would probably take a lot of effort to revive and treat them.
No, why weren't they teleported out?
Gong Qiying frowned, rummaged through the corpses of the adventurers, and found the unused teleportation crystal. Why wasn't it triggered?
The pure white crystal was covered in dirty blood, and the evil aura in the blood polluted the magic engraved in the crystal, rendering it ineffective.
And these auras are exactly the same as those of the demons!
"hehe,"
Gong Qiying instantly understood what was going on, and then laughed out of anger.
He dared to cut off someone's financial resources. This time, he and the demons will fight to the death!
——————————
Stellan woke up from the resurrection house with a splitting headache.
It's not physical pain, but comes from deep within the soul.
Suddenly, boundless fatigue and pain emerged from the depths of my mind. If I had to describe it, it was like working intensively for seven days and seven nights without rest, as if I would die suddenly in the next second.
“It feels like this again.”
The pain left her no time to think about the problem of the Crucible Knight.
After being killed by the Furnace Knight and returning to her own world, her headache started to come back, and she was killed by a surprise attack by a monster without any resistance and returned to the resurrection house.
Since she started working as a sun warrior, she has served as an assistant at least five or six times a day, and as many as ten times, with a mixed success and failure rate.
She didn't feel anything when she was in the dungeon, but as soon as she left the dungeon, fatigue overwhelmed her like the deep ocean.
what is going on?
Does being a helper create extra mental stress?
It took her most of her strength just to sit up from the bed. Fortunately, before she was about to fall off the bed, a nun noticed her abnormality and quickly came over to cast healing magic.
The soft green light enveloped Stellan, making her feel more comfortable.
"Miss Stellan, please take a good rest and don't move for the time being," the nun gently advised, "Your body has just healed and is still very weak."
"Do you know me?"
Stellan looked at the nun's face carefully to make sure she had never seen her before.
"You don't know me, but I know you,"
The nun smiled peacefully and said, "These days, your deeds of helping adventurers in the dungeon have spread. Everyone says that you are a good person with noble character. The people you have helped are also spreading the word about you."
"Yeah."
Stellan felt a little embarrassed. She was helping others for her own selfish interests, but in the eyes of others, it became an act of selfless dedication.
It feels quite subtle.
"I've rested enough. Let's talk about it when we get home," Stellan struggled to get up. "How much does it cost to revive this time?"
"No need," the nun shook her head.
Stellan was surprised and asked, "Why?"
"Because someone has already paid for you, you don't need to pay again."
"My friends? Oh, it's so embarrassing for them to know that I'm dead again," Stellan sighed.
However, the nun denied it.
She still had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes were full of approval as she looked at Stellan, and said:
"They are the people you helped. You may not remember them, but as soon as they heard that you were here, they rushed to pay the resurrection fee for you."
The nun put her hand on the door handle but did not open the door. Instead, she winked at Stellan and said:
"They are all waiting outside to thank you. Do you want to come out and see? Remember to fix your hair. A messy hairstyle doesn't look like a hero."
Stellan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
It turns out that there are people who really remember to thank the sun.
