Chapter 624 - Planting Seeds And eting Acquaintances
Gajero soon received the news and personally ca to check the discovery that his subordinates had ntioned.
The three individuals who were surrounded by the demons were Richard of the Wood Spirit Race, Quinn of the Star Race, and Edward of the Netherworld Race. They were the mbers of Vincent's mission team.
As they did not want to get involved in the enmity between Vincent and the demons, they chose to listen to Vincent's suggestion and rush to the foot of this remote mountain in advance to wait for Vincent's arrival.
However, what Richard and the others did not expect was to et so many demons.
Gajero, who had beco extrely ugly, walked in front of the three of them. After sweeping his fierce and furious gaze over the three creatures, he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where Vincent Is?"
Richard swallowed his saliva nervously after hearing Gajero's question. As a wanderer, he knew that the right thing to do was to deny and ensure that his leader's information was not revealed.
However, he imdiately thought of the Demon Race's notorious way of doing things. If he refused to answer, these demons would not let them leave alive!
"Since Vincent wants to go against the demons, then he must have the ability to go against the demons. Even if I tell him where he went, it would not be considered as betraying him!" sighed Richard in his heart.
He then made up his mind and nodded solemnly to Gajero.
Gajero did not move. Instead, his monster arm that grew out of his right shoulder made a fist. He said to Richard in a deep voice, "Tell , where did Vincent go?"
Richard was stunned when he heard that. That was because he realized that he could not answer at all.
Vincent only said that the purpose of this trip was to find the Immortal ruins. He told them to et him at the foot of the mountain. He did not reveal any information about the route.
Therefore, Richard could not provide an answer to Gajero at all!
After seeing that Richard did not speak for a long ti, Gajero imdiately asked with killing intent, "What? As a wanderer, do you want to die for your leader?"
Richard quickly waved his hand and said in an urgent tone, "I'm not hiding anything! Vincent didn't tell us the route. He just told us to wait here to et him!"
Gajero imdiately looked around. He sneered and said, "et here? The surroundings are filled with our demon elites! What right does Vincent have to et you here? It seems that you can't give any valuable information. Then all of you can go to hell!"
The demons on both sides imdiately walked forward. They were prepared to silence the three of them.
Richard, who saw everything, imdiately thought of sothing and quickly said, "Wait, although Vincent didn't tell us the real route, we might be able to guess it!"
Gajero revealed a thought-provoking smile. This was because it was the answer that he wanted to hear!
As soone who had fought with Vincent several tis, Gajero knew Vincent's habits quite well. To catch Vincent, Gajero had tried countless tis to think in Vincent's position. It could be said that no one understood Vincent's thoughts better than him.
Vincent was bold, courageous, and very strategic. If he wanted to recruit wanderers to explore the Immortal ruins, he would never reveal the top-secret he knew to anyone in advance. If Richard imdiately told Gajero where Vincent was, it would only make Gajero suspicious of him.
Therefore, Gajero had to use death to put pressure on Richard, forcing him to guess the next route based on his conversations with Vincent!
Although the final result might be wrong, Gajero believed that Vincent would have revealed so flaws and these flaws might be the only way to find Vincent.
Previously, Gajero was always very proud when facing Vincent. This was because he believed that the difference in strength between the two sides was enough to make up for all the problems.
However, the continuous facts had shown that Vincent's cunningness and insidiousness were simply impossible to deal with by relying on strength alone. Therefore, Gajero knew that he had to treat Vincent as an equal. He had to use his wisdom and strategy to play the ga with Vincent!
Gajero suppressed his thoughts and turned to Richard. He said to him, "I'll only give you one chance. If you can't find Vincent's whereabouts, then only death awaits you!"
Richard took a deep breath and imdiately began to recall every conversation he had with Vincent. This was his only opportunity to live.
Suddenly, Richard had a flash of inspiration and widened his eyes. He pointed in the direction behind Gajero and said, "We were separated from Vincent over there. He told us to co here in advance and wait for him. This ans that we are now on the path that he must pass on his way to the Immortal ruins! According to the principle of two points and one line, it is very likely that the Immortal ruins are in the opposite direction. If Vincent can't co and et us now, he will most likely go to the Immortal ruins first. As long as we find the Immortal ruins, we will be able to find Vincent's whereabouts!"
Gajero's eyes were burning with greed. This was because even he could not resist the temptation of the Immortal ruins.
Moreover, finding Vincent at the sa ti was simply a bonus!
Gajero assessed the thod proposed by Richard in his heart. He soon concluded that it was indeed worth trying at all costs. He then ordered the other demon mbers, "Listen up, go forth and carry out an aggressive exploration ahead. If you seek a fork, split into teams and proceed to investigate thoroughly. Once you find anything abnormal, report to imdiately!"
"Yes!"
All the demon mbers imdiately accepted the order and retreated like a tide. They began to explore in the direction that Richard had pointed out. Once a fork appeared, they would imdiately split into two teams to enter the forks. If there were still forks ahead, then the remaining team would split up again until they explored all routes.
Each demon mber was equipped with a personal communication device. As long as they found anything abnormal, they would be able to imdiately report the news to Gajero, who was at the back of the team.
When there was no news, Gajero would proceed to lead the large team forward and continued to explore the area in front.
Although it was quite troubleso, the demon army was very efficient. They had always maintained a decent speed.
As for Richard and the other two, they were closely guarded by a demon team and were forced to follow behind Gajero the entire ti.
The three of them were not hopeful. They knew how ferocious the Demon Race was. They would not let them off!
At the sa ti, they also believed that with Vincent's wisdom, he would not allow them to find the true direction of the Immortal ruins so easily.
Richard knew that he could only try to delay as long as possible. Their death would co when Gajero runs out of patience.
However, at that mont, Gajero, who was leading the demon army, was in a good mood. This was because he could feel that he had caught traces of Vincent this ti.
He even felt like he had seen through Vincent's thoughts.
"You're different from the others. Everyone is afraid of the demons and , but you aren't. Just like how you would take the initiative to set up a trap to plot against Gail. When you knew that I was about to arrive, you would never think of escaping. Instead, you prepared a trap for and tricked into taking the initiative to enter! Vincent, I've already seen through your thoughts. Let see what kind of trap you can prepare for this ti!"
A strong sense of anticipation rose in Gajero's heart. He walked firmly.
In his excitent, Gajero did not forget to turn his head to look at the three trembling wanderers behind him. His gaze finally landed on Edward.
Gajero said with a proud expression, "How many years has it been since I've seen a living mber of the Netherworld Race? Other than the Ultimate Evil Lord, you're the second one!"
When Edward heard this, he imdiately forgot about his fear. He quickly asked, "You've seen other mbers of the Netherworld Race? That is impossible! There are extrely strict rules among the Netherworld Race. No mber is allowed to leave the Netherworld without permission. I'm the only clansman who was ordered to co out to investigate. How could you have seen other mbers of the Netherworld Race?"
Gajero nodded and said, "That's right, that's right! My old friend told that he escaped from the Netherworld without permission from the race. The elders of your race would not have ntioned such rare news, especially a traitor who doesn't abide by the rules, right?"
Edward was very convinced by Gajero and imdiately believed him. He asked, "Where is that traitor? I must send this news back to the Netherworld Race!"
Gajero smiled and waved his hand. His tone was gloomy as he said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble! That fellow has been destroyed together with the capital of Ultimate Evil that he built. Moreover, his soul has also been taken away by soone else!"
Edward's eyes widened when he heard that, but he did not say anything else. That was because he did not know whether a dead traitor was still worth reporting to the Netherworld Race.
Richard, who was walking beside them, had a puzzled look on his face. He always felt that the na, 'Ultimate Evil Lord' sounded so familiar. It was as if he had heard it sowhere before.
Quinn, who had not spoken up all this while, had an extrely ugly expression on his face. As a mber of the Star Race, he might not have heard of the na, 'Ultimate Evil Lord' but he would rember the capital of Ultimate Evil.
That was because the biggest Star Race headquarters was located there.
"Sir Gajero, can I ask you sothing?" asked Quinn with a pleading expression.
Gajero smiled playfully as he nodded and said, "If you have sothing to say, say it quickly!"
Quinn quickly seized the opportunity to ask, "You said that the capital of Ultimate Evil has been destroyed, but what about the individuals who live in the capital of Ultimate Evil?"
"Other than the Star Race, everyone else has escaped from the capital of Ultimate Evil alive!"
Gajero blurted out the information without the slightest bit of hesitation. This was the answer he had long prepared for Quinn.
Quinn's face instantly turned deathly pale, and his voice trembled as he said, "The capital of Ultimate Evil must have been destroyed by the demons. This ans that the Star Race's clansn must have died at your hands!"
Gajero lowered his head and let out a wave of monster-like laughter. He then raised his head and laughed wildly, causing the three individuals behind him to fall into a daze. At the sa ti, they started to beco even more fearful.
Given Gajero's moody appearance, he could kill them at any ti!
However, just as their hearts were about to reach their throats, Gajero suddenly stopped smiling. He turned his head and said, "Of course, I wanted to destroy the capital of Ultimate Evil with my own hands, but unfortunately, it wasn't who did it in the end, but Vincent! He was the one who lured to the capital of Ultimate Evil. After that, he took the opportunity to disperse all the residents of the capital of Ultimate Evil except for the mbers of the Star Race. Then, he used a sneak attack to heavily injure , and the Ultimate Evil Lord was killed on the spot!"
"What?"
Richard and the others exclaid at the sa ti. This was because they could not believe that a level 50 creature could destroy a city that was dominated by a high-level creature. It was simply a fantasy.
However, at that mont, Gajero seed to have been possessed by a demon. He said with a sinister expression, "As the master of the Demon Race, is it necessary for to deceive you three small characters? The reason I'm telling you this is to let you understand that there is soone in this world more terrifying than the Demon Race, and that person is Vincent! That b*stard's strength isn't much, but his mind is filled with all kinds of sinister and cunning things. He can turn anyone's thoughts and greed into weapons to attack his enemies. Do you still think that you were caught by by chance? In fact, you are just bait left behind by Vincent. He is still counting on you to bring into the trap that he set up beforehand!"
The three of them shivered. Their eyes were covered with lingering fear.
Death was not the scariest thing, especially for wanderers who had experienced many missions. Death was an instant thing. What followed was not pain but relief.
However, they did not want to die at that mont because they were unwilling. They had not lived their lives to the fullest so they wanted to live on at all costs.
However, the Vincent that Gajero ntioned made them feel endless fear and despair. They realized that they had beco a chess piece for Vincent. If Gajero had not taken the initiative to tell them the reason, they probably would not have realized it even if they died.
The feeling of being in control of their fate was suffocating. They felt like it was getting harder and harder for them to breathe. Their throats kept rolling, and they had a faint urge to vomit. This was the intense stimulation brought about by the nervousness and fear in their hearts, so much that they suffered psychological discomfort.
After seeing their expressions, Gajero nodded his head with great satisfaction. He knew that he had to use all ans, including intelligence and martial force, to start a ga with Vincent. Naturally, he could not let go of any chance to set up a foreshadowing.
The seeds of fear that he had planted in the hearts of the three creatures would sooner or later turn into a powerful strike that would backfire on Vincent!
Soon after, they received another piece of good news from the front line. After a demon checked the communication device, he imdiately said to Gajero, "Lord Chief, there is an anomaly ahead!"
Gajero imdiately beca serious. He said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order. Everyone, follow and advance quickly. The scattered teams should imdiately turn around and et up with us as soon as possible!"
The elite demon troops protecting Gajero imdiately began to advance at full speed. They soon arrived in front of a red sea.
At that mont, the few demon teams that had scouted the area were standing on the shore. They saw countless illusory figures floating above the sea. The two sides had ford a clear stand-off state.
"Lord chief, there are a lot of suspicious figures floating above the sea. We want to get closer and investigate them, but we feel a very powerful pressure coming from them. This can only an that there is an extrely powerful expert on the other side of the sea!" reported the demon captain who was guarding by the coast.
Gajero waved his hand and signaled his n not to speak. This was because he was focused on the black sea that was at the far end of the red sea. He also saw Abraham standing in the middle of the sea.
Gajero trembled as he sighed, "It's the Ghost Race! I didn't expect them to violate the agreent between both sides and secretly enter our territory. It seems like the whereabouts of the Immortal ruins is here!"
His tone beca more and more excited. Although he had entered the false god realm, his strength had also increased unprecedentedly. It was currently the best ti to lead the Demon Race to a bigger battlefield.
If he could kill all the elite warriors of the Ghost Race and the Ghost King, then the territory of the Ghost Race in the Black Hole World would belong to the Demon Race!
At the sa ti, Abraham, who was in the black sea area, suddenly sensed a dangerous aura. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Gajero. This was the connection between true experts.
Vincent, who had been watching Abraham closely in the space tunnel, imdiately stood up and stretched. He said to Alexia and Kurt beside him, "The opportunity that we've been waiting for has finally arrived. Now, let's do as we've discussed. Although this ti is fraught with difficulties, as long as we succeed, we'll be able to obtain countless benefits. Whether we succeed or not, it all depends on this!"
Kurt stood up, walked to Vincent's side, and said with a calm expression, "Understood!"
Alexia walked behind Vincent silently and suddenly said in a low voice, "Since it's dangerous this ti, you don't have to worry about my safety. Just do what you want to do, and don't forget to fulfill the reward you promised!"
Vincent nodded slightly. He then took out a modification authority scroll and handed it to Alexia. He said softly, "Since you're unwilling to use the previous scroll, then keep it! This ti, I need you to learn how to modify authority as well!"
Alexia nodded.. She took the scroll and unfolded it, restoring the energy that contained the authority to modify.
