From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 412 Deduction
Gillan actually discovered very early on that although demons exist in God's Land, they are not considered part of the residents of God's Land.

After killing them physically, the "mottled aura" will not increase.

Although the specific reason is unclear, this is good news for Gillan.

Because this way, he could hunt demons without restraint, without worrying about affecting his future promotion.

"Master, it's right in front."

At this time, Weiwei, who was leading the way in mid-air, turned around and pointed to a small hill in front and said.

Jilan nodded, used his laughing stick as a crutch, and stepped onto the loose soil of the hillside.

After crossing the hill, he saw a spacious basin below.

There were dozens or even hundreds of red-skinned devils of various sizes and ferocious appearances. They were attacking each other and fighting each other.

The sound of powerful roars, savage laughter, and the dull sounds of sharp claws tearing through bodies and heavy fists smashing bones were all intertwined.

Dark red and hot blood splattered, fell on the red soil, ignited flames, and emitted sulfur smoke with a pungent smell.

Gilan noticed that the dominant group had a leader, who was about 2.34 meters tall, with a burly build, and hard white exoskeleton covering his shoulders, chest, elbows and knees, like armor.

Moreover, this devil has a pair of scimitar-like horns on its head, and wide black bat wings behind it, folded together and hanging down like a cloak.

It was obviously the viscount-level noble lord that Weiwei sensed. The aura it exuded was completely different from the devil beside him.

Jilan observed silently for a few seconds and had an idea in his mind.

'This demon lord is stronger than Weiwei, and is roughly in the range of "Second Ring Viscount" to "Third Ring Viscount", which is equivalent to the level of an ordinary 4th-level Jiushi.'

But this is totally not enough in front of him.

"Weiwei, don't let those trash get away."

Jilan gave a calm instruction.

The little demon was stunned at first, then quickly agreed.

Gillan held his hat with one hand and held his cane with the other, then he leaped forward and quickly fell from the top of the hill.

Weiwei followed closely behind, flapping her bat wings vigorously.

The Devil Lord, who was watching the fight with his elbows folded and a look of great interest, suddenly frowned, as if he noticed something, and turned his head hurriedly to take a look.

He saw a human dressed in black, leading a female devil, leaping down from the hill and rushing straight towards him.

"Soldiers! Humans are invading!"

The devil lord had a stern expression on his face. He raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

"kill him!"

As soon as the order was given, the seven or eight sturdy devils standing beside him immediately took action and rushed forward without fear of death.

Jilan had a blank expression on his face. His hand trembled and the gray cane instantly changed shape, turning into a flower basket cross sword with a crackling sound.

The patterns on the sword glowed green, emitting extreme heat and flames.

"Silver plate." He said indifferently.

call out--

Jilan swung his sword at the surging group of demons and used the killing move "Universe Sword·Galaxy".

"Silver Plate" is a high-level sword skill that evolved from the original "Trace of Meteors" in the Star Chapter. It has greater lethality and range. The sword body disappears briefly, turning into an arc-shaped sword light composed of starlight dots, sweeping across the bodies of the demons.

Tsk tsk tsk! !
This group of devils still maintained their ferocious looks with fists raised and claws raised, but the next second, accompanied by a flash of silver light, they all exploded into a ball of blood mist and turned into fragments all over the ground.

Their corpses began to spontaneously combust.

Jilan didn't stop at all. He passed through the clusters of flames, left a blurry afterimage, and arrived in front of the devil lord.

The latter's expression suddenly changed.

It turned out that the strength of this human being far exceeded its expectations.

At this moment, it knew that there was no chance to retreat and it had to fight the enemy in person.

"Die!" The devil lord roared, raised his hand and punched Jilan on the forehead.

The moment his fist was swung, it was covered with dense, thick black scales, and a layer of orange-red flames.

This is obviously an advanced application of the "Snake Scale Curse" and the "Fire Curse", combining the two into one.

The fist wind was hot and whistling.

Jilan didn't dodge or evade, and without even blinking, he raised his hand and swung the cross sword in a sword flower.

"Silver Crown." He spoke softly in ancient Hiru language.

bass! !

The sword disappeared again.

Silver spots of light burst out and spread into a spiral, wrapping around the devil lord's heavy fist.

Immediately, a twist!
Just listen to the sound.

"Ah!" The devil lord cried out in pain, covering his broken arm that was bleeding, and took several steps back.

The physique and spells that it was proud of were completely ineffective under the human's sword and were easily countered.

Jilan's cold eyes appeared in its mind, and the next second, the golden and red hair brushed across the side of its cheek.

"Silver halo." An indifferent voice came.

Miso miso miso! !

The silver sword light flashed at a high frequency, like thunder.

Countless spots of light surrounded the Demon Lord, then stretched into a straight line, and seemed to shrink instantly with its center.

In an instant, dazzling silver light continued.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!" the devil lord let out a shrill scream.

It was like a hedgehog, pierced by countless silver sword lights, and instantly fell to the ground, unable to move.

This move "Silver Halo" is an advanced version of "Star·Star-Suppressing Track" and is used to defeat the enemy.

After being hit by this sword skill, the Demon Lord lost his combat capability and became a prey to be slaughtered by Jilan.

The devils that were fighting in the surroundings stopped fighting after seeing this. The devils under the lord screamed like crazy and tried to rush over to rescue him, while the other devils that were attacked fled in all directions.

"The master said you can't leave!"

At this time, Vivi flew into the air, raised her hands, and cast the "Confusion Spell" and the "Hate Spell".

The demons turned around uncontrollably and started fighting again.

Gilan ignored the chaos around him, he squatted down beside the seriously injured Demon Lord and put one hand on the ground.

"Solve!" he whispered.

Crack!

Silver arcs of electricity leaped out from his palms and spread all around. Soon, a silver alchemical array consisting of circles, triangles, and various line symbols appeared under the Devil Lord.

“No, no…” The devil lord suddenly realized something, spitting out blood and begging for mercy in ancient Hiru language: “Master Wizard, please spare me, I am willing to tell you my real name and serve you like that noblewoman!”

Jilan raised his eyes slightly, looked at the Devil Lord, then grinned and said:
"Weiwei is enough."

The devil lord's expression froze.

next second.

Bang!
Its body suddenly stiffened from its kneeling position, and then exploded into countless sparkling dust with a crisp sound.

The dust floated all over the sky, creating a bright and gorgeous halo under the dim sky.

Gilan's eyes narrowed.

With a snap, he put his hands together.

"Refine!" he said again.

wow——

The flying powder in the sky gathered into a stream and all flowed into Jilan's palm.

Soon, a colorful glass ball the size of a finger condensed.

This is the soul substance that Jilan created from the Devil Lord using the "Secret Mark of the Sage" to perform alchemy.

It retains the spiritual power it had in its lifetime, enough to serve as the main material for refining the "Philosopher's Stone". 'But this is far from enough...'

Jilan put the glass ball into his pocket and said secretly.

Due to the lack of energy, the alchemy he had just performed used up the points of "Colorful" reserve and consumed a full 200 points of energy.

This made him feel quite distressed.

Right now, all aspects are in a hurry to use up points. If it weren't for the huge effect of the "Philosopher's Stone", Jilan would really be reluctant to spend points to perform alchemy.

"But... fortunately, there are still a lot of prey here, which should provide me with considerable points, right?"

Jilan turned his head to look at the chaotic battle and smiled.

Weiwei is constantly looking for opportunities to attack on the battlefield, hunting down those demons who have lost their minds after being cursed.

Jilan swung the flower basket and cross sword, placed it at his side, took a step forward and walked over.

...

...

With almost no effort, Jilan slaughtered all the dozens of demons.

The "evil sand" left behind by the devil's spontaneous combustion after his death was collected by Vivi and accumulated into a thick pile.

Jilan kept one third of the food, bottled it and stored it for feeding Weiwei later, so that she would have a stable food intake, which could effectively improve her rank and strength.

There were more than twenty finger-sized medicine bottles filled, enough for it to eat for a while.

Seeing this, Weiwei was very excited.

It flapped its little bat wings, flew to Jilan's shoulder, and kept circling, cheering with laughter:

"Master is so good to Weiwei! Thank you, Master!"

As she said this, she couldn't help but give her a sweet kiss.

Until Gilan grabbed her slender waist with two fingers and threw her aside.

"Don't worry, the hunt has just begun, and we will be hunting in this area for some time."

Gilan said this without even looking up, continuing to process the remaining "Sand of Evil" with his hands.

Hunting just one demon lord is certainly not enough, otherwise the "Philosopher's Stone" would not be so rare.

He raised his hands, covered the pile of "evil sand" in front of him, and then performed alchemy to decompose them all.

Accompanied by the sizzling sound of silver electric arcs.

The pile of black fine sand instantly turned into worthless dust and flew everywhere.

The color number in the corner of Jilan's eyes also jumped several times and soared to "1412".

He nodded with satisfaction.

After standing up, he instructed his little familiar:

"Weiwei, continue to sense the devil's breath and look for the next prey."

"Yes! Master!" Having tasted the sweetness, Weiwei became full of energy and quickly agreed.

It first flew into the air, closed its eyes and raised its head to sense the breath, then pointed in a direction and led the way.

Jilan followed silently behind, moving deeper into the gray wasteland.

...

...

Time just passes quietly like this.

In the outside world, three full days have passed.

In the dream, Gillan stayed there for four days. During this process, he found a pattern.

It seems that the flow of time in the mortal world and in dreams is not consistent.

他回想起了在托莉娜小姐的黑城堡里，那座中央塔楼的巨型时钟上，少了16、17、18、19、20这五个小时。

In other words, a day in a dream is only 19 hours.

This reminded Gillan of another thing.

In this world, night always seems to come especially quickly. Every afternoon at three o'clock, it is almost dark.

This phenomenon had troubled him for a long time. Now that he thought about it, it was probably related to the timing in his dreams.

Because after 15:21, it will jump directly to :.

In reality, isn't it exactly 3pm when it gets dark?

'Where did the missing five hours go?'

With this question in mind, Gillan went through all the knowledge of mysticism that he had mastered in his mind.

In the end, he really found a blind spot.

That is the old god "Si Sui".

While studying with his teacher Pala, Gilan once learned an ancient legend during a casual conversation.

According to legend, in the Dust Age before the dawn of the Common Era, timekeeping was not accurate.

The ancient Hiru people simply divided the year into four seasons but did not create a calendar, so there were no months and weeks, let alone an exact time of day.

The four great officials of the year appeared in the records of human civilization during that period.

They not only represent the four seasons, but also the four time periods of a day.

There are four hours respectively: morning, noon, evening and night.

Para Celsus once jokingly told Gillan that Si Sui played the same role as Si Chen in the earliest stages of human civilization to some extent.

After all, the twelve zodiac signs not only symbolize the twelve months and the twelve constellations, but also the twelve hours of a day.

According to this ancient saying.

The first division is the "scar father" of noon, which is five hours from 11 to 15;
The second division, “Fan Mu”, is the morning, which is five hours from 6 to 10;
The third division is the late "Miss Dark Tears", which is the five hours from 16 to 20;
The fourth division, "Mr. Pearl", is night, which is nine hours from 21:5 to :;

Why the moon goddess reigns the longest is unknown, and even Para Celsus could not come up with a definite explanation.

But he guessed that this might be related to the authority of the Moon Goddess.

'Because in the third year, the goddess of love "Miss Dark Tears" Alice died, so these five hours were lost in the dream?'

Gillan couldn't help but guess.

He always felt that there were some unknown secrets hidden in it, but he was unable to explore it now.

During the four days in the dream, Gillan and Vivi wandered in the transition zone at the entrance of the "Corridor", which is the "border of hell", constantly hunting demons.

The harvest is also huge.

Jilan successfully hunted five more demon lords, all of whom were barons and viscounts.

As for ordinary demons, hunt hundreds of them.

Excluding the points consumed by alchemy, he has currently accumulated a total of approximately 3000 points of mysterious energy.

This made Gillan quite happy.

That day, he took Weiwei to sit on a huge red rock in the wilderness and take a short rest.

"Master, Weiwei can't sense the breath of other demons for the time being... I'm afraid they can't be found in this area."

Weiwei leaned on his shoulder tiredly and said weakly.

The continuous hunting these days has made the little familiar very tired.

"It's possible that we made too much noise and alerted the demons, so they all ran away."

Gillan shook his head and said softly.

"Forget it, let's stop here for this hunt. Weiwei, you can go back to your ring and rest."

"Yes, master." Weiwei nodded her head and then quickly disappeared into Jilan's sapphire ring.

Jilan let out a long breath, and then said to himself:

'Ban Lan, deduce the player's path to the fifth-order essence!'
