Chapter 3946 Is There Such a Good Thing?
*************************************************** ***************************************
After a while, we came to the border of hell. The imaginary forest of flags and millions of troops did not exist, only the empty and dark land.
"Huh?" I turned around and shook my shadow with a snort, and Miss Spider jumped up from the darkness, looking like a protagonist, as if the God of Thunder had descended, without even looking at her thin arms and legs.
"What's wrong?" It still asked me, it still dared to ask me!
"Be patient, it's not easy for the residents of the abyss to cross the barrier."
Yes, it seems that there is such a setting. You must sincerely surrender to a certain force in order to obtain the VIP qualification for hell.
"Then...I still need to go there and recruit in person?"
I pointed at the barrier in front of me. It was like a chasm to the abyss, but I only needed to take a few steps to cross it easily. Hey, I could go back right away and jump horizontally as many times as I wanted. Even stepping aside, just to play, just to piss you off.
That being said, if Miss Spider really nods and urges me to get through quickly, then there is a 50/50 chance that I will crush its head immediately.
Who knows whether it is a million-strong army that is attacking him on the opposite side, or Wang Billy*5.
If the opponent has been prepared for this, dug a big hole, stacked hundreds of traps and magic, and added the five demons to attack together, let alone me, even the seven giants, might become a woman who has stumbled. Do you think I am stupid? ?
We have never forgotten for a moment that for the Abyss Demon God, the easiest way to gain the approval of the Ten Sins is not to help me fuck the Seven Giants, nor to directly fuck the Seven Giants, but to fuck me, who makes me weak? Helpless and easy to bully.
Fortunately, I am not stupid, and neither is Miss Spider. She even cherishes her dog head.
It immediately shook its head: "You don't need to go there in person, but this is the first time and I need a little help from you."
"what do you need?"
"If you want to gain the surrender and allegiance of the Abyss, you cannot rely on it without foundation. You must let it feel your existence and will."
"Don't talk about these complicated things. Just tell me what I want to do."
"I'd like to lend you something, preferably something you carry with you."
"This is easy to handle." Isn't it just personal belongings? I thought about it and took off a layer of cloak.
"Do you think this is okay?"
"It should be...no problem. I can feel your strong aura from the clothes. It seems that they have been worn for a long time. I can even feel the emotions and will you have poured into them. Originally, you still need to inject your essence into them." With a ray of original power, this step can now be omitted." For some reason, Miss Spider's eyes were a little dazed.
"Is that enough? How about one more piece?" I pretended to take off another layer.
"Enough, enough!"
Miss Spider took the cloak, glanced at me several times, hesitated to speak, and finally moved towards the barrier. Just as she was about to pass through, she suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Although I have no intention of inquiring about your interests and hobbies, I am still curious as to why you wear so many cloaks. I don't feel any defensive function from the cloaks."
"Hey, Willas has done too much. It would be a pity not to wear it. You will use it later, so remember to return it." I took out a new cloak from the inventory, held it high behind me, and mended it again. layer.
Not only that, other girls also followed suit and made me a cloak. What else can I say? It's hard to get off the tiger, now you have to like the cloak even if you don't like it, and you have to like the man who is not a cloak.
Miss Spider said oh, not sure if she understood, then passed through the barrier and disappeared.
I'm still a little uneasy in my heart, fearing that this guy will never come back. Although I don't read many books, I have read a lot of novels. I still know the head-lowering technique. What if that guy takes my cloak? What should I do if I go back and gather my friends to draw small circles and curse every day?
No matter, if they really have this skill, even if I don't give you the cloak today, there is still a way to get it, so just settle down and wait.
The imagined bad outcome did not happen, and Miss Spider came back not long after she left.
"nailed it."
"Um."
"I'm a little curious about what the scene is on the other side."
"It's just a group of minions gathered together." Miss Spider glanced at me lightly, as if she thought I was making a fuss.
"In addition, there is a statue I prepared."
"Statue? Mine?!"
"If you feel dissatisfied, it would be better to go there in person."
"No, the statue is just fine." I waved.
This is good, there are statues in the abyss. Can anyone help me calculate how many statues I have now? This person is still here, can you do less settings for the underworld?
"Your statue, coupled with objects imbued with your aura and will, can allow the minions to have a clear understanding of your existence, and then give birth to a heart of surrender. Of course, it is not as good as your presence in person." Miss Spider seemed to be explaining and encouraging.
If you keep talking, I'm going to crush your fucking head!
"Can we just wait now?"
"It takes a little time for them to use their pitiful intelligence to outline your existence, and through continuous kneeling and praise, they can accelerate the gathering of surrender."
"Oh." I seemed to understand but pretended to understand, nodding my head.
No, wait, kneel down?
"What's the problem?" Miss Spider tilted her head and looked at me.
Are you sure this is not a large-scale cult gathering? I shuddered, imagining the underworld on the other side of the barrier.
Under the flickering light of the torch, it was dark and endless. The demons were like a carpet of ants, surrounding a cloaked statue in the center. They kept bowing their heads in worship while shouting for people. Compliments that give goosebumps.
If you let Heaven know about what you are doing, I don’t know if they will immediately switch sides, abandon the dark side, turn to the bright side, and destroy relatives for the sake of justice. This is going to harm me!
"Isn't there an easier way? Is this how the Big Seven recruit as well?"
"No, they don't need it. After all, the reputation of those seven has spread throughout the abyss, and they are also the spokesmen of the Ten Sins. Many demons have been aware of their existence even since they were born."
Miss Spider explained calmly, but this time, I clearly felt envy and jealousy from its plain face and tone.
By the way, it seems to have done me a disservice. I am the newbie who has not been recognized by the Ten Sins and can only rely on cult rituals to gain loyalty, right?
At this moment, the barrier changed. The surface, like a water mirror, began to ripple more and more frequently, as if something was about to jump out of the water.
Finally, the first monster emerged from the ripples. Its tall, ice-blue spiked body looked particularly ferocious, and its domain-level strength made me nod with satisfaction.
The ice crawlers that can only be encountered in Harrogath are quite advanced hell monsters. Spider Lao Tie Xing is quite interesting.
As ripples continued to appear, ferocious monsters, large or small, continued to emerge. I couldn't identify their strength one by one. I could only roughly estimate that the quality of these monsters was very high, and even the weakest ones were of very high quality. They are close to the mini-boss level, domain level ones are everywhere, and world power level ones are not uncommon.
"The first batch is the troops that originally belonged to me. Of course, they now belong to you. They have all been carefully selected and you have seen the quality." Of course, Miss Spider will not let go of the opportunity to claim credit. However, its tone was a little strange, as if it was... depressed.
As for that, I just want some of you. Isn’t it that you have an endless supply of abyssal soldiers, like leeks, and you don’t care at all.
Could it be that you are also picking on the same people?
In response to this, I took advantage and behaved, teasing mercilessly: "Why, it sounds like Ms. Elian is a little reluctant to let go?"
"That's not the case." Its voice was a little dull, as if its nose was blocked. Even in front of its subordinates, it still said these words: "Things as lowly as sand can be had as much as they want. Where did they come from?" Can't bear to part with it?"
There was a pause like this for a while, and after a while, he spoke again in a faint tone.
"Your Excellency's strength seems to have improved a lot. A few days ago, you came to me to consult on how to quickly improve your strength. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"No, I sincerely think that you are a senior and I came to you for advice. As for progress, there will definitely be progress. I have just been promoted to this level not long ago, so there is definitely room for improvement."
"Haha." Miss Spider showed a rare emotion, as if she didn't bother talking to a liar like me, and then fell into silence. After a while, the number of monsters passing through the barrier was estimated to be in the thousands. This awkward silence would last forever when it suddenly spoke.
"Your Excellency has already surpassed me in strength."
The lackluster sentence made me stunned for a long time before he hesitated and said: "It's...impossible. There is such a thing? How did you judge it? In our realm, it's not really possible." In a fight, show your best ability and fight to the death. It's hard to tell who is stronger and who is weaker."
"These losers came here much faster than I thought." Miss Spider took a deep breath, feeling aggrieved that she didn't believe it herself, but had to admit this fact.
Before, when it was fighting across the border with the Minotaur Demon God, it still had full confidence. Even if it didn't have to be cowardly and head-on, it could defeat the opponent with absolute strength. This confidence lasted until just now, and then it was shattered. It's no wonder that it The Spider Demon God remained calm and still couldn't help but lose his composure.
"As humble beings, their only saving grace is that they have an extremely keen sense of strength. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive in a place like the abyss. Now, they can get rid of my influence so quickly and quickly become loyal to you. , although part of it is because of my orders, it is enough to prove that, at least in their eyes, you are stronger than me."
"Could it be the status bonus of the Eighth Demon King? Plus the temptation in the center of hell?"
I still refuse to admit it. After all, there is no benefit in admitting it. I have to keep a low profile, not to mention that I may not really be able to defeat the spider demon. Even though I have tortured it thousands of times in my dream, the fabricated guy is the same as the real one. The goods are different after all.
What's more, in our realm, it doesn't make much sense to discuss who is stronger and who is weaker. Even if we go back to when it was an enemy a few months ago, although it is much stronger than me, it can only defeat me. If not With the Holy See Mountain as a check, it and the bull's head together can't kill me. After all, I'm really fast, and when I'm scared, I can be even more stubborn than the Spider Demon God.
"I have taken all these factors into consideration, but it's still fast." Miss Spider shook her head, looking a little stunned.
"Could it be..."
"Okay, stop explaining. I don't want to hear it. In fact, this is also a good thing. Your getting stronger is a good thing for us. I have more confidence in you now."
As expected of you, King Wannian Gou, you can actually suppress the resentment of "having lived on a dog for tens of thousands of years" and deal with it with absolute rationality. At least in terms of character, this kind of guy is a cooperative partner. Companions are very reliable, and the stronger you are, the more reliable they are.
I'm afraid of meeting the kind of fool who is burned out by jealousy like "Why can you easily surpass me? If I don't accept it, I will kill you to prove that I am the best in the world."
At this moment, something unexpected happened on the other side of the barrier. Several monsters that had just crossed over, before they had time to see what they looked like, screamed in agony. Their whole bodies were covered by an unknown fire, and they were even burned in the end. No ashes left.
"The fire of original sin, huh." Before I could ask, Miss Spider explained through gritted teeth.
"Why is this happening?"
"If you try to cross the barrier with false loyalty and have no respect for me, your Excellency, or original sin, you will naturally end up like this."
"Are you saying they are trying to pretend to be loyal and get across the border?"
"exactly."
"Wait, aren't these your subordinates?"
"Who knows, the so-called loyalty in the abyss is a joke. It's just the absolute strength that makes them bow their heads. Once there is a chance to rebel, any one of them will have the courage to raise a knife against me. "
"Or." It shrugged indifferently, with a dead-end attitude: "Or, these minions are undercover agents sent by several other guys. This is more likely."
"If they are undercover agents, wouldn't our actions have been exposed?"
"It's not that easy. You have to get the news out." Miss Spider sneered: "Why do you think I spent so much time preparing? Is it to prevent something? Among the demon god's men, none of them are lurking undercover."
"Did you send one too?"
"Yeah, including Fathead Fish. That idiot just came back and is in urgent need of expanding his power. He has recently taken over a lot of Niutou's territory and is recruiting troops without any scruples. I'm afraid he has been infiltrated by undercover agents."
"..."
If the Spider Demon God were to explain this in detail, he might be able to make ten or eight Republic of China blockbusters, right?
"So we would rather pick up wild ones than accept the help of Fat-headed Fish. Otherwise, no matter how strict the control is, the information will not be allowed to leak out. It just so happens that it is not willing to give it and treats the undercover agents as treasures, hum."
"Well, in that case, doesn't the barrier help me a lot? As long as it is false disloyalty, it can help me filter it out, and the rest will be loyal and surrender to me?"
"Yes."
Is there such a good thing?
