Chapter 264 The Demon Lord’s Red Mansion!
"It's changed, the movements have changed."
The demons and ghosts gathered on the bridge noticed that the movements of the man in black in the sky had changed.
From the reverse twisted crawling posture to slowly standing upright, it became the way humans walk upright, with his hands attached to the sides of his legs and swinging evenly. The head of the man in black was also straightened. Walk in the air with your head held high and your chest lifted naturally.
"This, this, this...how did it become this posture? Who can't do this?"
"It seems that it has been less than three hours, and the movements have changed?"
"I have been to the Demon City no less than five times, and every time It's stuck on this bridge. This action is the simplest one I have ever seen."
As the movements of the black people above the rope bridge changed, the demons and ghosts followed the same pattern and poured into the rope bridge.
Most of the ghosts and demons They all have the ability to walk upright, except for soft-bodied and multi-limbed crawling monsters, but they will still try their best to stand upright and swing their limbs to walk towards the rope bridge.
The number of monsters and ghosts crossing the rope bridge is also much greater than before.
"Papa, let's go there too." Yu Su pulled Li Ran towards the rope bridge.
Li Ran smiled slightly and stepped onto the rope bridge with relaxed steps and straightened his chest.
The rule of this rope bridge is to make the same movements as the man in black to cross the rope bridge. If you can't do it or don't do it well, the mysterious power will drop the rope bridge and feed the monsters.
He used a string puppet to control the movements of the man in black above, and forcibly transformed the deformed and twisted posture of the man in black into a human walking posture. In this way, most monsters and monsters with limbs that can walk upright can pass through the rope bridge. .
He saw that the one-eyed toad spirit who had spoken to him before was also standing upright, holding his head high and swinging his frog arms as he struggled to walk on the rope bridge.
As a monster clan, it is a compulsory course for monsters to imitate human actions, because the ultimate goal of monsters is to cultivate into adults. No matter what kind of monsters, they have imitated human walking behavior during their training.
Li Ran even noticed a snake demon standing upright like a bamboo pole in front of him. What was even more amazing was that it had grown limbs, like a four-legged snake walking upright.
There are even porcupines that walk upright and are covered in bone spurs.
And those monsters with human forms are much simpler. Butterfly monsters, fox monsters, and wolf monsters can walk upright if they have human forms.
As for the ghosts and monsters, most of them have humanoid forms and can pass through the rope bridge with ease.
Of course, there were also those who couldn't imitate them, and were immediately thrown into the sea by the mysterious power on the rope bridge to feed the monsters.
Li Ran saw a spider demon, standing upright with its eight trembling legs, landing on its huge belly, and walking on the rope bridge. Its movements were extremely weird, and it was thrown off the bridge by the mysterious force before it had gone very far.
He had a ghostly energy about him and blended in easily. Li Ran passed the rope bridge with almost no effort.
After crossing the bridge, Li Ran immediately put away the string puppet.
"Hey, hey, why did you change back again?"
"Damn it, I walked halfway, and I can't do that move."
"How can this be possible? I finally learned to walk upright..."
Uploaded from the rope bridge There were bursts of shrill screams.
He didn't look back, but he could guess that there was a scene of flying demons and ghosts dancing behind him.
As the movement of the man in black in the air returned to a reverse, twisted and deformed crawl, countless monsters and monsters were thrown into the sea by mysterious power to feed the monsters.
After passing the rope bridge, Li Ran raised his head and stared at this magnificent red palace.
Following the demons and ghosts into the first floor of the palace, all the demons and ghosts were shocked by the sight before them.
The interior of the palace is brightly lit, and through the central hollow, you can see the ceiling covered with red lanterns. A golden tree stands in the center of the palace, and the ends of the countless branches growing on the huge golden tree are lit with everlasting lanterns.
From the first floor to the top floor of the palace, the walls, guardrails, and pillars are all carved with shocking colorful paintings of gods, demons, and gods, which are terrifying, lifelike, and domineering.
When Li Ran walked into the first floor of the palace, it felt like walking into a lively market. There were shops selling things on both sides. The things sold in the shops were so dazzling that it was dizzying to see.
It looks similar to the things sold in ancient human cities.
But what surprised him was that the shop owners and the guards on both sides of the palace all wore white masks, some were human, some were animal, some were ghostly, and they stared majestically at the demons and monsters who walked in.
At the end of the first floor of the palace, there is a sedan-like elevator and a black coffin-like elevator. There are two guards wearing white masks and red costumes at the entrance.
(Guards of the Red Mansion)
(A-level spiritually infected body)
(Crookedness value: 17000)
(The guards of the Demon Mansion obey the orders of the Demon Lord, and any abnormal behavior will be discovered by them.)
The demons and ghosts passing through the rope bridge gathered in the hall.
"Is this about to enter the third level?" Yougui asked.
"You have to pass three levels to meet the demon king. Don't you understand this rule?" A long-tongued ghost said disdainfully.
"What are the rules of this third level?"
The demons and monsters gathered together, chattering.
"Bang!!"
The gong sounded in the hall.
Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent.
Li Ran looked down at the colorful phoenix butterfly on the back of his hand. The small butterfly trembled and stopped on the back of his hand, still guiding him forward.
"There are so many guards. It seems that there is no way to find the treasure without passing the third level."
Xiao Yusu took Li Ran's hand and looked around curiously: "Papa, is the third level the province?"
At this time, an old man wearing a white rabbit mask walked in front of the monsters. Judging from his rickety figure and walking posture, he was no different from the old man, at least that's what Li Ran thought.
There are three tables in front of the old man. On each table are stacks of red cards with gold edges. The cards are about the size of playing cards and can be placed directly in the palm of your hand.
The old man in the white rabbit mask took out a ruler and tapped it on the table.
Three scrolls fell immediately from the three tables, each with a line of words written on it.
[Only one card can be taken from a table, a total of three cards. ]
[Those who collect three magic cards can board the elevator]
[No fighting, one hour limit! 】
"Bang!!"
With the loud sound of the gong, all the monsters stepped forward to take a card from each of the three tables.
"It seems that this is the rule. Only three divine cards can pass the level."
Li Ran walked forward and took three red cards with gold edges from three tables respectively. The cards felt very heavy in his hands. , it feels very textured.
"Papa, let me take a look." Xiao Yusu said with his little head bouncing.
Li Ran squatted down and looked at the three cards in his hand carefully. The patterns on the three cards, namely the
ghost card, the demon card, and the god card, can be distinguished at a glance, including the ferocious green seedling fanged ghost, the evil green fox witch, and the ancient giant spirit god with a giant hammer. "No magic card?" Xiao Yusu's dark eyes rolled. "This doesn't bother you, Dad. It's just that if I do that, the cheating element will be too obvious, so I can't be too high-profile." "Module saving?" Xiao Yusu asked, tilting his head. Li Ran stared at the two red and black elevators in the hall. (There are elevators that lead to every floor. You can go to the top floor to meet the demon king.) The elevators are okay, but their appearance is eye-catching, especially the black coffin elevator.
Li Ran withdrew his gaze and looked at the demons and ghosts in the hall.
"If you want to get three divine cards, you have to exchange them." "
The problem now is that we don't know who has the divine cards. The person with the divine cards will definitely not hand over the divine cards." "
Then how do you get the magic cards from others? The key is to get the other two magic cards in hand."
Li Ran looked at all the demons and ghosts in the hall and stared at their eyes.
Almost every demon and ghost's eyes were alert, and they had no idea who had a magic card on them.
Moreover, the rules prohibit fighting with weapons, which means that you cannot fight openly, and you can use some small means.
For example, in the second level, the string puppet used by Li Ran was a small trick used secretly.
We are all demons and ghosts, and we all have some small tricks, such as hypnosis, charm, possession, hallucinations, etc., which will definitely appear on a large scale in this level.
To put it bluntly, it is to use ghost magic and magic to snatch the divine cards.
He now has a divine card in his hand and only needs to find two more divine cards to pass the level.
He can see hidden hints. It is not difficult to find the person who has the magic card, but how to get the other party to take out the magic card becomes the key.
The demons and ghosts in the hall have already taken action.
"Show me your cards. Do you have any magic cards?"
"Demons, ghosts, and humans don't have any magic cards. Are you angry or not?" "
What the hell, I don't have any magic cards either."
A drowned ghost and A faceless ghost was talking to each other, but neither ghost had any magic cards.
After listening to this, Li Ran realized that there was a fourth card, the human card.
From the conversations among the demons and ghosts in the hall, Li Ran deduced that the number of divine cards was the least, followed by ghost cards, demon cards, and the largest number were human cards.
"Yeah, human status is still the lowest in the eyes of demons and ghosts?" Li Ran cursed in his heart.
He glanced across the hall and soon found a female ghost with an extremely pale face, which revealed a hidden reminder that the female ghost possessed a divine card.
Li Ran had an idea and immediately stepped forward to talk to the female ghost.
Ignoring the rotten skin of the female ghost and the veins popping up all over her face, the female ghost still looks pretty.
After experiencing so much, Li Ran has long been numb, isn't she just a female ghost?
"Beautiful girl, I know you have a magic card in your hand, and I want that magic card." Li Ran stepped forward and said straight to the point.
The female ghost gave Li Ran big, lychee-white eyes, the kind without pupils, as if she was mentally retarded.
"Beautiful girl, you misunderstood me. What I mean is, how about we play a game. We draw a card from each other to see who can draw the other's magic card." Li Ran said as he took out two magic cards. Shown in front of the female ghost.
"You have two..." The female ghost almost screamed, but she was afraid of being heard, so she hurriedly lowered her voice.
Li Ran quickly put the cards away. After all, there were many ghosts and ghosts around who were spying on the magic cards. He didn't want to be the target of those ghosts.
Isn't it just Qian Shu? It seems like no one can do it.
He possesses a [Thousand Kings] card, which was a mission prop given to him by Captain Wang of the Criminal Police Team in Happy Home. He was originally asked to pretend to be a Thousand Kings and hook up with charlatans. Later, due to a series of murders and missing children, he As a result, this case has been delayed, and this mission card has been left in Li Ran's storage space, never used.
When this card is actively used, you can freely change the deck or cards you want by touching the card. There is no limit to the number of times and it is valid for three days.
(The cards conjured by Qian Shu cannot deceive the eyes of the red building guards.)
He originally planned to use this card to turn all the cards into divine cards and go to the elevator, but then he saw this line of prompts.
It means that Qian Shu will be seen through by the guards of the Red Mansion.
But it won’t be used to deceive these monsters.
He had just shown two magic cards in front of the female ghost, one of which was a Qianju card. The purpose was to make the female ghost relax her vigilance towards him, to let down her guard against him, and to make the female ghost feel that she was not at a disadvantage.
Li Ran grabbed the card with both hands, showed the back to the female ghost and continued: "We draw each other's cards, only once." The female ghost looked at
Li Ran in surprise, and then looked at the three cards Li Ran spread out. A strange light flashed in the white eyes.
"Okay." The female ghost agreed.
Then, she shuffled the three cards in her hand behind her back. After shuffling them for a while, she took them all out and spread them out in her palm, with the backs of the cards facing up.
"Let's smoke together." The female ghost said.
Li Ran nodded and said, "The pretty girl has the final say."
The three cards in the female ghost's hand were clearly visible to Li Ran, who was wearing perspective glasses.
The reason why the female ghost agreed to this exchange was most likely because of the two magic cards in Li Ran's hand.
The probability of drawing two divine cards from three cards is much higher than the probability of drawing one divine card from three. Moreover, she does not rely on blindness to draw cards. Her eyes can see the cards directly from the back. The pattern of the card.
She clearly saw three cards in Li Ran's hand, the human card in the middle and the divine cards on both sides.
"Pretty girl, let's count down."
"Okay."
Li Ran reached out to touch the card of the female ghost. When he touched one, his hand stayed there for a while, but soon, Li Ran changed his target and touched the card on the far left.
The female ghost drew a card from Li Ran's hand.
"Goodbye and good luck to you," the pretty girl said.
"You too." Li Ran said, then turned and left.
Both the female ghost and Li Ran couldn't help but smile.
The female ghost came to the corner and eagerly took out three cards.
Her original cards were humans, ghosts, and gods, but now she had three cards in her hand: humans, gods, and gods.
"You fool, you dare to play a thousand tricks with me, you're still a little young."
The female ghost had a couple's smile on her face, the corners of her mouth were split to her ears, and all her dense teeth were exposed.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Suddenly, the female ghost discovered that the patterns on the two divine cards were rapidly fading, and the two divine cards turned into ghost and demon cards respectively.
The only magic card in her hand was deceived!
"I'm going to kill you!"
The female ghost went berserk in an instant and flew towards Li Ran, who had not gone far.
"Ah!"
But the next second, the guard of the Red Mansion threw a spear glowing red, and the spear accurately hit the female ghost's head. The female ghost screamed, and her body collapsed.
"Huh?" Li Ran turned around and looked behind him, only to see a red light, and he couldn't help but open his mouth in confusion.
"Daddy, the pretty girl is gone." Xiao Yusu said.
Li Ran looked at the red building guard on the side and understood what was going on. He sneered and said: "The beautiful girl was so angry that she ignored the rules and was eliminated." As he said this, he led Xiao Yusu to a deserted corner
. Here, he quickly took out three cards.
He has removed the effect of Qian Shu and the card has returned to its original state.
The three cards he originally held were ghost, demon and god. Now the three cards in his hand are ghost, man and god.
But the pattern on the human card changed and slowly turned into a divine card.
"Nais, there are two."
In this way, the cards in Li Ran's hand were ghost, god, and god.
During the card exchange with the female ghost, although Li Ran wore see-through glasses, he still had hidden hints.
What you see with the naked eye may not be real. When the female ghost shuffled the cards with her hands behind her back, she actually used ghost magic to change all the cards. She turned the divine cards into human cards, and the human cards into divine cards. Card.
But no matter how the female ghost changes, Li Ran, who has hidden clues, can always find the real magic card.
The female ghost also knew which card in her hand was the magic card. If Li Ran drew the right card directly, she would definitely regret it, so when Li Ran drew the card, his hand stayed on the three cards in the female ghost's hand for a while. Then the cards are drawn.
The purpose of staying for a while is to use Qianju to swap the three cards in the female ghost's hand.
The power of the [Thousand Kings] card is that it can not only change the cards in your own hand, but also switch the cards in the target's hand. The real Qianju is so awesome.
It can be said that the moment he came into contact with the card in the female ghost's hand, the magic card was already in Li Ran's hand. From now on, no matter what card the female ghost draws, he will have it under his control.
"Zhen Zhenzhen, the beauty's moral skills are still a little shallow." Li Ran shook his head.
He has see-through glasses, hidden hints, and the magical skills of a thousand kings. Who can play with him?
If this were in a casino, he would become the next God of Gamblers in minutes.
"Go on, you can pass the level with one more magic card."
"Papa, you're so powerful."
Li Ran touched Xiao Yusu's little head and glanced across the gambling hall, looking for the next victim.
Through the hidden prompts, Li Ran saw that some demons and ghosts had already collected two magic cards.
Some of them had drawn two divine cards at the beginning, but had not yet been able to collect the third divine card.
The hall seems calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging behind it. In order to obtain the three divine cards, the demons and ghosts use all possible means, as long as it is not obvious, they secretly perform all kinds of tricks and sorcery.
When he saw the one-eyed toad spirit, he jumped up and blew out a cloud of white smoke at a horse-faced ghost. The horse-faced ghost acted blankly and let the toad spirit go to get the card from him.
As soon as the witch in black robe took out a mirror and looked it in front of a leopard demon, the leopard demon took the initiative to hand over all the cards, but unfortunately, the leopard demon didn't have a single magic card, and the witch was so angry that she almost fell down. Broken mirror in hand.
"Young man, I guess you have two magic cards in your hand. By coincidence, I also have two in my hand. Do you dare to play a game with me?"
At this time, a vicissitudes of voice came from behind.
Li Ran's face changed slightly, and he turned around and saw an old man from the Mediterranean with his hands in his pockets and fat earlobes walking behind him. The old man's eyes were narrowed into two curved arcs, and there were three thick beards on each side of his nose.
