There are 100 demon kings in the fraudster's hunting ground. In order to survive, some rely on intelligence and some rely on force. The so-called eight immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers.

If you don't have any skills...

There is no hope, just wait to die.

But there will also be a distinction between high and low for each person who shows his magical powers.

To be fair, if there was no terrain advantage with the cliff at his back, Pei Renli would probably be captured by a group of up to 9 giant eagles, but it is completely okay to kill a few in the process. After all, the giant eagles are only level 15 and have obvious weaknesses.

.

But those three people hardly put up any decent resistance, and the weapons they used were just like decorations. Except for the invisibility cloak, which seemed very awesome, they did not show any abilities worth mentioning.

This gave Pei Renli a very strange feeling, that they were weak.

It's a bit like a novice who has practiced basic skills for several years but doesn't understand combat at all. He also looks like an ordinary person who suddenly gained some power. In short, he is completely inconsistent with the title of Demon King.

It stands to reason that everyone's life and safety are threatened by the Demon King Arena, and they all have the Demon King System, so the gap shouldn't be this big, right?

However, Pei Renli did not think about it carefully. In his opinion, those three people were dead, so he would not waste any more brain cells.

Compared with this, the top priority now is to get out of the way quickly.

The sound of battle may attract powerful predators, or it may attract the attention of other demon kings. The residual magic fluctuations left by the released spells may also be detected by races with keen senses.

So after watching the giant eagle disappear into the dusky sky, Perrenli called Phil Fei to leave quickly.

They did not go in the direction of the ruins of the castle on the cliff. The terrain there was complex and there were many hidden objects, making it a good place for an ambush. However, because it was too obvious, no demon king with any brains would approach it.

According to the rules, the most important thing now is not to confirm who and where your target is, but to prioritize the location of the end point.

Otherwise, even if you get the target number plate or collect 20 points, if you are successfully attacked while aimlessly looking for the end point, it will be all in vain.

For the same reason, the two of them did not enter the dead wood forest, but walked along the dusty rocky beach. Although the road was not easy to walk, the advantage was that it would not leave eye-catching footprints, and it would be more difficult to follow.

"All maps in the Demon King's Arena are demiplanes created by a powerful being."

On the way, Philuffy and Perrenli talked about the notes left by the previous Demon King.

The difference between demiplanes and planes, to use a more vivid metaphor, is the gap between the youth mini version and the plus version in mobile phones, which are imperfect and unstable planes.

"Perhaps it is precisely because it is a demiplane that we can circumvent the rule that the Demon King cannot enter other planes."

"Who is this powerful being?"

"have no idea."

Philuffy shook his head and said:

"The notes left to me by the previous Demon King are just pure speculations, and there is no record of who it is."

The Demon King is fixed in his own plane and cannot be transported across planes, but he can be pulled to the Demon King Arena by the Demon King System.

The rules seem to conflict, and what's the point of doing this?

Are demon kings not allowed to communicate with each other?

No, after all, it’s not a problem for the demon kings to chat with each other in the Demon King Arena.

That is to prevent the demon kings from in-depth cooperation or conquering each other?

It doesn't seem right either.

The existence of the Demon King Arena forces the Demon Kings to choose allies to cooperate, such as the three people they met before, or the current Perrenli and Philuffy.

As for the issue of mutual conquest, Pei Renli remembered that when he first entered the Demon King Arena, the host said that the Demon King would form a gang to attack another gang. Isn't this proper cooperation and conquest?

But if you change your mind...

This rule is likely to limit the cooperation and conquest of demon kings outside the Demon King Arena. All communication between demon kings is limited to the Demon King Arena.

It’s not clear yet what the meaning of this is. From the analysis of the rules, we can only get this information.

Philuffy saw that Pei Renli was lost in thought with unfocused eyes as he spoke, and asked a little strangely:

"Atlas, you have changed a lot. What happened during this time?"

"A lot of things did happen."

Speaking of this, Pei Renli's voice was a little tired:

"I exercised myself and made some preparations."

Philuffy: You call this a little bit?

My impression of Pei Renli still remains in the horror castle.

At that time, Philuffy knew very well that Perrenli had never learned martial arts or magic, otherwise he would not have been pressed to the ground and rubbed by a zombie.

And now, if Philuffy hadn't quickly shown that she had no ill intentions when she got close, she might have been taken away by Pei Renli.

Perrenli himself would not have any obvious feelings, and his classmates who had been with him for a long time would not notice the subtle changes, but to Philuffy, who had not seen each other for more than a month, the changes were as if they were earth-shaking.

It wasn't a secret anyway, and Perrenli immediately told Philuffy about his study plan and timetable.

After hearing this, Philuffy looked at Perenli with a speechless look, and after a few seconds she said:

"Actually, as long as newcomers like you and me don't encounter maps like the Scary Castle, the survival rate is still very high. I then talked to the devils in the stands and they said that even in the Scary Castle, the mortality rate was only 5%.

.”

If you think about it carefully, you will find that Philuffy is right.

Take this time as an example. Although it is a mutual game between the hunter and the prey, if you throw away your number plate and run away when you find that you can't beat it, no one will probably pursue you.

After all, the goal is to collect 20 points, not to kill each other. Pursuing may cause you to fall into a trap, or it will also be disadvantageous if it consumes too much.

And those who don’t have a number plate have no way to survive. They can still collect 20 points by killing monsters. The most important thing is that there is no time limit in the rules.

If you look at it this way, the conditions for surviving the level can be said to be very loose. The Horror Castle is a special case, and the hunting grounds of the Trickster this time are the norm.

"Newbies like us who have only been Demon King for more than a month cannot enter a higher difficulty level. You don't need to push yourself so hard, and many of the newbies are ordinary people who only know a little basic knowledge, or simply have no fighting ability.

, it’s not as dangerous as you think.”

This is no wonder why those three guys make Pei Renli feel weak. They can even be regarded as the average strength of the new Demon King.

“What about intermediate and advanced?”

"The difficulty of intermediate and advanced levels will increase a lot, but the death rate is actually not particularly high. After all, by the time we reach intermediate and advanced levels, our strength has already improved as the difficulty increases. Most of the deaths come from the fight between demon kings.

fighting."

Philuffy said:

"According to the notes, the existence of the Demon King Arena is more of a means to spur the Demon Kings not to relax."

There can only be one Demon King in a plane. If this Demon King is a weakling, it is definitely no problem to survive by relying on the Demon King system, but this is a bit like occupying a manhole and not taking a shit.

In other words, the Demon King's Arena encourages the Demon King to work hard to become stronger so as not to lose in the Demon King's Arena.

Combined with the rules that cooperation and conquest between demon kings are restricted to the Demon King Arena...

"Why does it feel a bit like a leek?"

"Leeks?"

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve never seen leeks before, but after thinking about it, Philuffy finally understood:

"It's like harvesting wheat, right? It does feel a little like that."

Considering that the violent demon king suddenly disappeared without warning, he was probably captured.

After going around and around, I still come back to the question, why do you do this?

There are at least tens of thousands of demon kings in the Demon King Arena. Pei Renli doesn't believe that no one is aware of this. Maybe no one has found the answer, or maybe someone has found the answer, but may have scruples and not tell them.

Philuffy's words were originally intended to persuade Perrenli to relax and not push herself too hard out of good intentions, but it had the opposite effect.

Philuffy didn't know that Perrenli's current strength was actually without the participation of the Demon King System. In the future, he would be really worried about whether he could win against a powerful person who used the Demon King System to win.

What's more, Pei Renli's talent in magic is actually not top-notch. This talent mainly refers to the total amount of magic power.

It is much better than the minimum threshold for becoming a mage, but it is definitely not comparable to the truly top geniuses. His combat power has increased so fast, on the one hand, it is due to the improvement of his skills and awareness, and on the other hand, it is because he does not need to be like many people.

It would take 5 to 10 years to learn basic writing.

So, what if there is another guy who really comes from a scholar's family, who is also addicted to arcane magic all day long and has a flexible mind?

His combat effectiveness is not worse than Pei Renli at all, and may even be higher.

In short, Pei Renli discovered that he had no uniqueness, that is, a unique skill that others could not copy.

If Philuffy knew what Pei Renli was thinking, she would probably be even more speechless.

At this level, what kind of bikes do they need now?

Everyone is similar to the initial stage. At this time, serious homogeneity is inevitable. As time goes by, everyone's growth direction begins to diverge. Only then will the unique skills that Pei Renli believes appear.

Philuffy is the type of person who has a weak sense of crisis and a relatively big-hearted attitude, but Philuffy is right, Perrenli's sense of worry is too strong, and he is a bit paranoid about being persecuted.

After all, the experience in the Scary Castle was a bit too impactful.

The two of them walked forward while chatting. After about ten minutes, they both felt as if they had passed through a sticky film almost at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the original dim sky was replaced by dense dark clouds, and the flash across the sky pierced the rain curtain formed by the heavy rain. A large mountain range like a giant lying down appeared in front of us, with lush vegetation and intricate mountains running through it.

Densely populated with creeks and rivers.
