The strong wind passed through the narrow canyon and raged day and night.
The Centipede Demon carried Lu Li and climbed upstream of the canyon.
Eugrath was sleeping soundly, and amid the gentle wind and sand, they arrived at the Wailing Cave a few minutes earlier than before. Lu Li and the Centipede Demon walked through the dimly lit cave and arrived at the strange other end.
"Would you like to know Rift Valley Town? Let me think about it... The mayor there is a demon of death, but he is about to die. Maybe there is a new mayor now. That town is very poor, even poorer than us. Don't look at the beauty.
Lake Town has declined after migration, but its heritage is not comparable to that of a barren rural place. They don’t understand the use of storage. I suspect they will treat the warehouse as a trophy exhibition room when they see it..."
Lu Li from Centipede Demon's Back recalled Mayor Brubby's sarcastic slander. Considering that this is hell, you can hardly expect a group of grotesque guys born from fire and brimstone to know what order is.
Thank God they will imitate the devil and build towns.
According to the description of the mayor of Beautiful Lake Town, Brubby, Rift Valley Town is controlled by pure demons, which means that there is no order, no rules, and there may not be a "town". It is just a lair formed by all kinds of hell demons.
The bad news is that Lu Li may not be able to receive the commission in Rift Valley Town, but the good news is that he can continue the commission in Beautiful Lake Town.
Looking up at the dusky sky covered with dust, there were vague shadows hovering in the sky following them.
Lu Li guessed that it was the surviving Screaming Banshee.
The Screaming Banshee was unwilling to linger over Lu Li and the Centipede Demon, and finally gave up and left.
Lu Li looked away.
Hopefully the departing Screaming Banshee will bring surprises.
About an hour later, the end of the rift valley was revealed.
The Centipede Demon's speed is a bit slow, but considering that it's traveling against the wind, that it's not a real mount, and that it's carrying Lu Li on its back, it seems acceptable.
As we move away from the rift valley pass, the shrouded sand and dust gradually disappear, and a simple walled city surrounded by stone and earth walls emerges in the distance.
It's hard to say which one, Beautiful Lake Town or Rift Valley Town, is more like a real town. The former is built along the canyon walls, while the latter has walls like the remains of an ancient town.
After Lu Li left Centipede Demon's Back Crest and entered Rift Valley Town, he took out a silver box.
Lu Li just touched the silver box while looking at it with the fine pearl-like eyes inlaid on the head of the Centipede Demon, and then the damn delicious taste became rich again.
“Can souls only be contained in silver boxes?”
"no……"
The centipede demon controls the greed instinct.
But as Lu Li opened the second silver box and touched the soul ball, a rich and alluring aura suddenly enveloped it.
"You...what did you do..."
The Centipede Demon swayed away from Lu Li like a drunken guest trapped in a wine cellar.
"Absorb the soul."
Lu Li opened the third silver box and stretched out his left hand.
"The demons in Rift Valley Town may not be able to help but want to eat you..." The centipede demon who was far away finally managed to control his desire: "Are you targeting them?"
"Just testing."
The useless silver box was thrown away by Lu Li: "If they are not willing to be traded, let them be traded."
Perhaps this is unfair to Rift Valley Town. No demon can withstand this test, but this cannot avoid that only towns truly ruled by order can trade with confidence. For example, in Beautiful Lake Town, the smart Mayor Brubby almost guessed
Everything, but still making for a relatively fair deal.
After finally absorbing the 100 souls paid in advance by Mayor Brubi, Lu Li's humanity reached 31...never before.
Lu Li couldn't feel certain changes in himself, but the changes around him would tell him, such as the growth of plants and the growth of dead trees.
It's a pity that this is hell, with lava flowing in the river, pillars of flame spewing out of the holes, and poisonous sulfur filling the air. This is the end of plants and clear springs.
The Centipede Demon stayed outside Rift Valley Town and waited while Lu Li approached Rift Valley Town alone.
The bubble-shaped volcanic rocks formed by the cooling of magma serve as the main body of the city walls, but they stand in the wilderness quite crudely. There is not even a door at the entrance of the town, as if it has been abandoned for a long time.
But Lu Li did see figures wandering around the streets of the town behind the low wall.
It would be difficult for Lu Li to hide himself without using the Dreamer. When he entered Yinshi in Rift Valley Town, he was discovered by a demon sitting next to a lemur tied to a chain.
Its condition was very bad, its rotten, skinny, and scarred body was falling towards the lemure. Lu Li's breath almost awakened the last bit of strength in its body, and it crawled and followed it into an alley.
Lu Li stared at the low-level demon that was staggering towards him. Even if he didn't use the cursed title, it couldn't hurt him.
"Are you hungry?"
There was no answer to Lu Li's inquiry, so Lu Li asked again: "Tell me where the tavern is."
The low-level demon finally stopped and made a sound from his mouth with few teeth left: "Noisy..."
"Thanks."
Far away from the hustle and bustle of the alley, a ray of dim light quietly flows along the edge.
A few seconds later, Lu Li walked out of the shadows and headed towards the house where the noise could be heard from far away.
squeak
The dilapidated door was pushed open from the outside.
Lu Li stood in front of the tavern door and observed the hall: several magma lamps were streaming with dim light, and a mutilated and still living demon was tied to the dining table table in a conspicuous place. The other parts were on the paws, mouths, and stomachs of the guests at the table.
In the bag; several demons are engaged in primitive melee combat in the corner, mating and killing each other, surrounded by spectators holding wine glasses and shouting; a plump female demon wearing leather is wielding a whip of thorns, beating the screaming masochistic demon
.
There may be bias, but compared to the taverns in Beautiful Lake Town, the taverns in Rift Valley Town are indeed full of depression, chaos and blood.
The originally noisy and bustling tavern gradually fell into an eerie silence due to Lu Li's appearance.
Lu Li walked into the tavern and walked past the demons along the way towards the counter.
The demons biting the flesh of the lemure spit out the gravel-like minced meat, biting each other's flesh and inserting each other's demon heads and turning; the fat female demon licked her lips.
Lu Li entered the tavern like a hot woman walking among a group of drunken men.
"Is there a meat grinder here?"
Lu Li, standing in front of the counter, broke the silence.
The smirking waiter brought out the drum.
"What's the ratio?"
"Three out of ten."
Lu Li heard the noise coming from behind and said calmly: "Thirty percent? Beautiful Lake Town only accepts 10%."
"Thirty percent is yours." The waiter's fake smile turned ferocious.
The tavern gradually became dark and depressing, with only the magma lamp on the counter emitting light.
"Do you have any commission here?" Lu Li asked again.
"What kind of order?" The waiter stretched his paws under the counter.
Heavy and dull breathing enveloped Lu Li.
The ferocious and terrifying monsters approached behind him, and Lu Li calmly replied: "The client issues the commission, and the person being commissioned completes the commission."
"Are you a hunter?"
The light of the magma lamp reflected the faces of Lu Li and the waiter, and in the darkness beyond the light there were only layers of dark, strange shadows.
"no."
Lu Li shook his head gently, and the bizarre dreams quietly unfolded behind his back.
