Demon Gatekeeper [Unlimited]

At the same time, the butler on the top floor of the castle opened the door and saluted respectfully: "Master Witch God."

"Yeah." The young man sitting on the soft bed was still fiddling with the red crystal in his hand casually: "Someone found the key in advance. I was surprised by the high level of the guests this time."

"Congratulations, my lord, your wish will be fulfilled soon." The housekeeper showed real joy on his face.

"How are the preparations at the Wolf King?"

"When the moon is full, the general will definitely arrive as promised."

The witch god said "Yes" in satisfaction, but then frowned slightly, sighing with anger, "He blames me in his heart."

"How is this possible? The general will understand my lord." The butler said in fear.

"Get back." The witch god waved his hand, and lazily leaned back on the backrest, looking dispirited.

What would he do with so much talking to a puppet? Even if he refined his soul and imbued it with memory, the butler is not human after all.He doesn't understand the changeable and complicated emotions of human beings, he doesn't understand himself, and he doesn't understand the general.

Dugu fell into a deep sleep, and didn't open his eyes dazedly until the maid came and asked him to go to the restaurant for breakfast.

He tried to sit up but found an arm pressed against his chest.

"Are you awake?" Yu Yuan's voice came from Dugu's hair, hoarse as if he had just woken up.

Dugu could feel the other side's chest sticking to his back, and it vibrated slightly as he spoke.Dugu's movements froze, and then he suddenly remembered that he and Yu Yuan shared the same bed last night!

And he fell asleep without doing anything.I feel like I missed a million dollars!Dugu shed tears of regret in his heart.

"Yeah." Dugu replied, propping his body up with his arms, ready to sit up: "It's time to eat breakfast..."

Only halfway through Dugu's words, his voice and movements froze.He just moved his leg inadvertently when he got up, and then seemed to accidentally rub against something hard: "You?"

"It's hard." Yu Yuan's voice was hoarse, but his tone was quite calm.

Dugu felt embarrassed first, and explained to Yu Yuan in a considerate manner: "No, it's okay. It's a natural phenomenon in the morning, not to mention you are so young and full of blood, I understand, I understand."

"Brother really understands?" Yu Yuan leaned closer to Dugu's ear, with a playful smile in his tone.

In a panic, Dugu tried to save face: "Hey, they are all from here."

Yu Yuan: "Then, brother, do you know how to solve this problem? Why don't you teach me?"

Dugu blushed blushing, and his little brother also had a tendency to stand up.He ran under the bed as if fleeing, and said in embarrassment: "No matter how late you are, you won't be able to catch breakfast."

Yu Yuan leaned on the bed and laughed out loud.When my brother is shy, his appearance is completely different from usual, he is silly and cute, and people can't help but want to bully him more.

On the other side of the snowfield, hundreds of giant wolves lined up neatly, like soldiers waiting for an expedition.

A tall adult wolf walked up to the wolf king and bowed its head respectfully. "My lord, the wolves are ready. There has been a message from Lord Sorcerer, and the bonfire is the signal to start hunting."

The wolf king said coldly, "How many prey have been marked?"

"23 people."

The wolf king finally showed some surprise: "So few?"

"Yes, Lord Wushen said that this batch of goods this year is very powerful."

"Cargo." The wolf king repeated the word lightly, looking up at the sky.Today is a sunny day, and it is rare that there is no wind and snow on the ice field, but the warmth of the sun cannot penetrate the thousands of miles of white snow, nor can it warm the frost in the wolf king's heart.

"Got it, let's go."

After breakfast, Dugu and his teammates got together for a small meeting.

"I worked hard yesterday, everyone. I'm sorry. I still underestimated the danger level of the intermediate arena. It almost put everyone in danger."

"If you don't take us there, it might be even more dangerous today. Besides, you're not a god, and you still want to predict everything?" Even when Nian Xiuzhu was comforting others, his tone seemed to be arguing.

"En." Dugu understood Nian Xiuzhu's kindness.Laughed, and said: "I heard from the 023 God Whisperer that the Elf King and his group will go to investigate the people who are gradually swallowed by the masks in the morning, and about the eyes. Come and meet us in the afternoon to discuss the countermeasures for the evening. "

"Then let's take advantage of this time to gather other players." The doctor suggested: "My healing technique and passer-by B's light magic can both be used to determine whether the other party is a demon. As long as you search one by one, you can always find them all." Bar."

"It's too dangerous." Dugu said in disapproval: "Now is not the time to face the demons head-on. The demons' skills have not been figured out, who knows if they have the ability to kill players directly. Just like 033 before, it is hard to guard against .”

"Then what are we going to do now?" Nian Xiuzhu asked while polishing the gun in his hand, "You can't just wait, can you?"

"Reading." Dugu took out the book that the maid brought for him the first day: "One book for each person, take it back to the servant to read, and write down the information you think is useful, maybe it will be useful later."

Unexpectedly, after seeing this, they really found something useful.

[The wolves in the northern ice fields like to hunt collectively on the night of the full moon, piercing the throats of their prey with their sharp fangs, and draining the blood of their prey.According to legend, the red fangs of adult direwolves are stained red by the blood of their prey. This is a sign of their strength. The darker the fangs, the more prey they have killed. 】

[Legends say that the giant wolves of the ice field only feed on humans. They have a long lifespan that is almost immortal, and the more humans they eat, the stronger their strength becomes.As the patron saint of the empire, the ice giant wolf will kill countless enemies in every war.The enemy country hated and feared the direwolf, and there was even a sky-high reward for hunting the direwolf, and what was used as evidence of the hunt was the bright red blood-stained fang in the sky of an adult wolf. 】

Doctor: "It turns out that the blood-stained fangs refer to the red fangs in the direwolf's mouth. I thought they were going to wait for them to bite someone before they lick their teeth."

Nian Xiuzhu paid attention to another point: "But isn't the witch god also the god of the empire? The direwolf is also the patron saint of the empire. Then why the way to open the gate on the second floor in the witch god's castle is to hunt down seven direwolves. The country cannot tolerate two gods?"

"Probably not. Look at this paragraph." The doctor pointed to his record and read: "At the beginning of the founding of the empire, the country was in ruins, surrounded by powerful enemies. The general who guarded the empire was seriously injured and may die soon. Continue to guard the empire and ask the witch god to reincarnate himself with secret techniques. Not long after, the first direwolf came to the world. Only three years later, the direwolf formed the first giant wolf group. Although it has not yet fully grown, it has already begun See Zhengrong, wipe out a thousand-strong rebel army in one fell swoop."

Nian Xiuzhu looked at the doctor, "Are you trying to say that the direwolf and the witch god should be together? Then why is the condition for opening the door? The system prompts that it is impossible to lie."

"Perhaps it is to help the direwolves improve their strength and complete the process of survival of the fittest?" Dugu speculated: "The direwolves are huge, and there are almost no natural enemies in nature. In times of war, the number of direwolves can be reduced through wars and promote them. Evolution, but what about when there is no war? Are they allowed to expand unscrupulously? That is extremely dangerous for the direwolves and the empire."

"In fact, 300 years after the founding of the empire, counting down the history of the direwolves' participation in the war, you will find that the number of direwolves has remained within the range of no more than [-] and no less than [-]. So how is this number controlled? If all the guests who finished hunting on the first day became part of the direwolves, it means that the number of wolves increased by thirty overnight. These are the sources of the direwolves that increase every year. So what about the reduction? Maybe It has something to do with the test at the bonfire meeting tonight."

"Not only players and demons, some of the NPC guests in this level also have special abilities. They also want to survive and pass the test of the witch god. The prey and the hunter are never fixed. We are the food of the direwolves, and they are ours. The key to it. Maybe what the witch god wants to facilitate is just such a fight."

After lunch, Dugu and his party gathered in Nian Xiuzhu's room as agreed, waiting for the elf king's team to come to the door.

"Dong dong dong" the door of the room was knocked hastily.

"022, are you there?" The voice outside the door was flustered and hasty, with a faint cry.

"Is it the chanter? I'll open the door." Dugu remembered that the Elf King seemed to call her Yinyin, and she was also a girl who didn't talk much. Normally, she shouldn't be the one calling the door, unless something happened to the opposing team.

Dugu opened the door and found that there was only the chanter outside the door, and the other teammates were not there. He frowned: "Where is your teammate? Did something happen?"

"Ah Shi is gone." The chanter was full of worry: "I heard from other guests that their companions were also missing. The captain has already brought people to look for them. Let me come and tell you."

"The time traveler is missing?" Dugu thumped in his heart, thinking of the little girl who was a little shy: "Let's help find it together."

The chanter quickly thanked him gratefully, but his worry did not diminish: "You also pay attention to safety, I will go back to find the captain."

"Wait a minute, I'll take you back. Since someone is missing, it's not safe for you to go back alone. I just need to ask your captain about the situation." Dugu stepped forward.

"I'm with my brother." Yu Yuan pulled Dugu back.

"Alright." Dugu found that he couldn't reject Yu Yuan more and more, and even enjoyed the way the other party clings to him.But now is not the time to think about it, he put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said to the others: "Everyone, don't disperse for the time being, try to stay in the room before lunch."

"Don't worry." The taciturn killer always seemed very reliable in critical moments.

Dugu met the chanter and the Elf King in the corridor, and asked, "How is it?"

Elf King: "We came out to investigate the matter of the Land of Elysium, and we had conflicts with some irrational guys. Everyone didn't notice Ah Shi in the chaos. When I came back to my senses, she had disappeared."

The God Whisperer then sighed: "I tried to use the God language 'I am with you' to feel her position, but I couldn't feel it at all. When I was young, I was the best at finding people, and she could look back from the reflective objects. But the one who is missing now is herself, and when I asked the people who were there at the time, they said they didn’t pay attention, and we have no clue.”

Dugu thought, time travelers can use reflective objects as monitors, which is amazing.In his own team, there is no talent that is too good at finding people.Dugu had no choice but to push forward from the existing information: "Time travelers won't run around by themselves, so they must be captured. Our current enemies have two groups, one is NPC monsters in the castle, and the other is demons. It is said that monsters do not act during the day, and there is a bonfire meeting tonight, so the witch god should not go to the trouble of arresting people in advance, so the one who did it is most likely a demon."

"So, leave it to me from the devil's side. If the person is at the devil's place, I will definitely find her whereabouts. But the suspicion of the NPC is not completely ruled out, you continue to look for it."

"Leave the devil to you? Are you going to deal with the devil alone? You can definitely find it? I think it's easy to say big words, don't let the devil get yourself into it if you don't deal with it. Or are you going to let your teammates use it again last night?" That move, let's see if we can burn all the demons in one go?" Feng Mage was upset because of the disappearance of his teammates, and vented his anger at Dugu.

"Don't worry about it, I have a solution." Dugu ignored Feng Fa and looked straight at the Elf King: "If you believe me, leave this matter to me. If you don't believe me, then I will leave now. Won't be meddling any more."

"I believe in you." The Elf King responded decisively: "Ashi is our very important companion, please."

"En." Dugu nodded solemnly, turned and left.

"Brother is going to find Ling Jiuqing?" Yu Yuan asked behind Dugu.

"If it was done by the devil, he must know." Dugu knew that Yu Yuan didn't mind getting too close to the devil, but this was his skills and blood, and when needed, he must give full play to their maximum value.

To Dugu's surprise, Yu Yuan let go of his hand very simply: "I understand, then brother, be careful. Go early and return early. Before dinner, if brother doesn't come back, I'll go find him."

"You..." Dugu wanted to say, no matter how strong you are alone, you can't defeat so many demons.I want to say that even if something happens to me, the most important thing you should do is not to avenge me, but to work hard to pass the level.But he only nodded in the end: "Okay."

I will definitely come back.

Dugu strode towards the room where Ling Jiuqing was, and knocked on the door.

"Who?" 005 answered.

Dugu replied with a calm voice: "I, 022."

The door is opened.Dugu was dragged into the room by his wrist, and then the door was quickly closed behind him.

Dugu felt that there was a familiar energy in the room that divided the world inside and outside the door into two worlds: "Space isolation?"

"Hmm." 044 was sitting on the sofa, with one foot on the edge of the sofa, his elbow on his knee, and a black sickle hook in his hand, swinging it casually, looking in a good mood.

He tilted his head to look at Dugu, raised his hand to greet him and said, "You came just in time, I have recruited a few new men, come here and let me introduce you."

But Dugu's feet seemed to be nailed in place, and he even found it difficult to breathe.

The room was filled with a pungent smell of blood, and there were a few simple frames next to the fireplace, and the missing guests were hanging on them with their hands and feet tied behind their backs, their white robes were stripped off and thrown aside, and the flesh on their skin It was peeled off piece by piece, and the scale-like mottled scars were bleeding out, forming a small puddle below.
