The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1665 If You Don’t Hold Grudges, You Won’t Be Careless.

Mazm woke up leisurely.

hiss!

The pain in the back of his head not only made the witchcraft man grin, but his mind also became confused for a while.

what happened?

I was digging for the 'Philosopher's Stone' and met those black dogs.

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, causing those black dogs to suffer heavy losses, and that bastard, Eisen De, didn't even think about recovering in a short time.

But that bastard also deployed reinforcements and was hot on my heels.

I had to choose the most dangerous secret passage.

This is the villa of the "Songshi" family in Ai City. Usually there is no one there, but this time I was very unlucky and met someone from the "Songshi" family.

Those reinforcements of mine...

No need to think about it!

There will be no escape.

Even though his mind is confused, Mazim still has a very clear understanding of the 'Songshi' family.

That's definitely not something he can fight alone.

Even all the witchcraft people gathered in Ai City were no match.

Otherwise, ‘Song Shi’ would not be honored as “sir” by those black dogs in Ai City.

correct!

Who attacked me?

My ‘Philosopher’s Stone’!

And with the memory of the 'pine stone', Mazm quickly woke up.

As soon as he woke up, Mazm was thinking about his 'Philosopher's Stone'. When he realized that the 'Philosopher's Stone' was in his palm, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Mazim's heart lifted.

"Are you sure you have everything figured out?"

"certainly."

"Mazim had no idea that I would be following him."

"Now is our best chance."

The sound of conversation appeared in Mazm's ears.

One of them was vaguely familiar.

The remaining voice was extremely unfamiliar.

Mazm judged from the sound that the two were not far away from him, but not close either. After at least some distance, he opened his eyes slightly.

Then, he saw the back of a person.

This man's back also looks a bit familiar.

But who, Mazim did not remember.

"The Philosopher's Stone is not so easy to get!"

said the strange voice.

"Then will you give up?"

The familiar voice sneered.

The strange voice fell silent.

"look."

"Neither can you."

"What we have to do now is to make everyone think that Mazim has obtained the 'Philosopher's Stone', and then fly away."

"Especially now that the Pine Stone family is involved."

"As long as we do it skillfully and muddy the water, no one will be able to doubt us."

"Don't you want to have the power of the 'Philosopher's Stone'?"

A familiar voice said urgently.

The silent voice hesitated.

"think!"

"But there is only one 'Philosopher's Stone'..."

"I have a way to share the power equally."

"Now, you pretend to be Mazim's current appearance and draw everyone's attention. Then, we will meet at the same place."

It took a full four or five seconds for the voice to answer, and when he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"good."

After the unfamiliar voice answered in the affirmative, it fell silent.

Obviously, he has left.

After another ten seconds, the familiar voice muttered to himself.

"Do you really think I will share the power of the 'Philosopher's Stone' equally?"

"Don't say I don't know, even if I know, I won't share it with you!"

The familiar voice turned his head as he spoke.

When that slightly familiar face appeared in Mazim's eyes, Mazim instantly remembered who the other person was.

He is also a witchcraft person.

His whereabouts are secretive, but his abilities are not weak, especially the opponent's [House of Resentful Spirits], which has a good reputation among the witchcraft people in Ai City.

"It turns out to be him!"

"Could it be that everything before..."

Mazm thought of Essen De, who should have been attracted to his attention, but suddenly appeared in front of him.

Some doubtful points were instantly cleared up.

Richard Madden, that loser, must have been 'exposed' by the guy in front of him to be exposed so quickly.

Moreover, the fact that Essen De was able to find him so smoothly had nothing to do with him.

As for why?

So obvious!

Isn’t it just for his ‘Philosopher’s Stone’?

pity!

The other party still underestimated his recovery ability.

Even if he was in a different body and was extremely weak, he couldn't be knocked down by a sudden attack.

Maybe he fainted for a few seconds.

But it will recover very quickly.

Tread, tap, tap!

The sound of footsteps came to my ears.

After confirming the other party's identity, Mazm closed his eyes, but this did not hinder his actions. When the other party picked up his palm and wanted to take the 'Philosopher's Stone' out of his hand, , Mazm’s other hand stabbed the opponent fiercely.

puff!

The other party's neck was pierced like this.

The other party's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Do you really think that the new body I chose will have no power to protect itself?"

Mazim opened his eyes, looked at the mouse hidden behind the scenes, sneered, and took out his palm.

thump!

The other party fell straight to the ground, breathless, and his eyes were still wide open, as if he was refusing to close his eyes.

Mazm paid no attention to the body on the ground.

Even if the opponent has the ability to become a wandering spirit, that takes time and cannot be accomplished in a short time.

And by that time, he had already recovered as before, or even gone one step further.

How could you be afraid of a wandering spirit?

The most important thing now is to obtain the power of the 'Philosopher's Stone'.

After confirming that he was still on the fork in the secret passage, Mazm quickly made such a decision.

There are people from the Songshi family in front, and Black Gouzi's pursuers behind them. And his reinforcements cannot hold back the people from the Songshi family for too long, and their demise will be a matter of time.

Even if he escaped by chance, Mazim was not sure whether there was a place for him in Ai City at this moment.

As soon as he shows up, he will definitely be targeted.

Not only because he is too weak at the moment, but also because of the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ in his hand!

Therefore, the best way now is to use the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’!

Only by using the 'Philosopher's Stone' to restore strength and even improve to a higher level can the current crisis be solved.

With the 'Philosopher's Stone', he has low strength, and without the 'Philosopher's Stone', he has stronger strength. There are two completely different concepts.

Looking down at the pebble, Mazm grinned.

"A bunch of fools!"

"Do you really think I won't prepare more backup plans?"

As Mazm said that, he raised his hand and pierced the lower abdomen of the body and took out something the size of a cigarette box.

Wrapped in oil and linen paper full of medicinal smell, the smell of blood was quickly covered up, and even the wound was healing quickly.

Mazm carefully opened the paper package, arranged the holy stone (diamond), a century-old oak leaf and a tube of sea water in the storm inside into a triangle, and then placed the 'Philosopher's Stone' Then, he bit the index finger of his left hand, dripped blood on the 'Philosopher's Stone', and started muttering softly in his mouth.

"Holiness was your soul."

"Oak leaf was once your body."

"The storm was your cry."

"You were born in darkness and bloomed with light..."

A long spell echoed at the fork in the road. When the spell stopped, Mazm looked at the 'Philosopher's Stone' expectantly.

However, nothing happened.

"Could it be..."

"Did I remember the spell wrong?"

Mazm was stunned for a moment, and then started the ceremony again.

But still nothing happened.

This time, Mazim panicked.

You must know that this is related to everything in his future.

If he couldn't complete the ritual, he was doomed!

Without any delay, Mazm started the ritual again with fear.

The spell was stumbling, but error-free, exactly the same as the previous two times, and again, exactly the same... and still nothing happened.

"what happened?"

"What exactly went wrong?"

"Could it be that the 'Philosopher's Stone' has a secret that I don't know about?"

Mazm thought to himself.

But before he could finish thinking about it, pain came to the back of his head again.

boom!

Another brick hit Mazim hard on the back of the head.

This time is different from the previous one.

This time, the upper-level evil spirit showed no mercy at all. He swung it in a round shape and aimed it at the target. Under the inertia of the force, cracks appeared on the bricks.

Mazm didn't even make a sound, he just passed out and fell to the ground.

The superior evil spirit came out from behind the opponent.

"easy!"

Looking at the opponent who fell to the ground, the upper evil spirit did not change back to its original appearance. It still looked like the person who had attacked the restaurant with witchcraft. He first picked up everything on the ground, including the 'Philosopher's Stone' After getting up, he continued to pick up bricks and smash them. After confirming that Mazim would not wake up in a short time, the superior evil spirit stopped.

Feeling the sound of fighting gradually subsided on the ground, the upper evil spirit did not hesitate, turned around and got into the wall beside it.

About a minute later, Fu Yi walked in.

Looking at the bruised Mazm, he frowned.

After searching around and finding nothing, Fu Yi pointed at Mazim.

Immediately, Mazm came to life.

"Philosopher's Stone?!"

"My Philosopher's Stone!"

As soon as he woke up, Mazim found that his 'Philosopher's Stone' was missing. He yelled in panic, and then he saw Munyi.

At this time, Mazim didn't even care whether Wu Yi was from the Songshi family, and just rushed towards Wu Yi.

"Give me back my Philosopher's Stone!"

Fuyi turned around and aimed a sharp blow at the back of Mazim's neck.

thump!

Mazm fainted again.

Looking at Mazm who passed out on the ground, he was filled with joy.

"Philosopher's Stone?"

"It turns out to be the Philosopher's Stone!"

The retainer of "Song Shi" was so excited that he picked up the unconscious Mazim and quickly returned to the original route.

South area, outside the villa area.

A superior evil spirit emerged from a shadow.

It was still very weak at the moment, and it was really difficult to carry things back and forth.

The upper evil spirit gasped for air.

However, when he turned his head and looked towards the depths of the villa area, the upper-level evil spirit had a smile on his face.

Only when the water is muddy will the fishermen benefit!

It didn't deliberately come to cause trouble for the Songshi family because it sensed that the Boss was still a little unhappy.

"Have a good time."

As he spoke, the superior evil spirit threw the pebble on the roadside, and his entire body disappeared again.

When the superior evil spirit returned to the restaurant, it was already dark.

Ordinary people start their day again.

Mimosa entered the dream ten minutes ago.

Qin Ran leaned on the sofa chair and waited quietly.

After he sensed that the superior evil spirit had entered the basement of the restaurant, Qin Ran slowly stood up, gestured to the elite 'evil dog' lying in the corner, and left the room quietly.

There is also a ‘vicious dog’ in the corridor.

Seeing Qin then he kept wagging his tail.

Kieran touched the forehead of the 'evil dog', pointed to the master bedroom, and continued downward.

To the ‘evil dog’ in the lobby, he gave the same head pat and the same gesture.

In fact, not only the corridor on the second floor and the lobby on the first floor, but also the roof of the restaurant, the back door and the alley outside the front door, were all arranged by Kieran with 'vicious dogs'.

These tireless 'vicious dogs' who only need some food to fulfill their duties, in Kieran's opinion, are really the best guards.

After giving these ‘vicious dogs’ head pats as rewards, Kieran turned into the basement.

The basement, which was originally used to store wine, became a utility room after Kieran's simple tidying up.

A superior evil spirit is standing in the room.

"Boss."

Seeing Qin Ran walking in, the superior evil spirit diligently handed Qin Ran the holy stone (diamond), a century-old oak leaf and a tube of seawater in the storm.

As for the spell?

With the power of the contract, the upper evil spirit believes that with the wisdom of his boss, three times is enough to know it by heart.

Looking at the things in his hands, Qin Ran did not start arranging them immediately.

His habitual caution allowed him to retain his last bit of caution.

Of course, Qin Ran felt free to use the money that had already been used.

Without returning to the room, Qin Ran directly used 40 silver coins in this utility room.

40 silver ferry coins are equivalent to 1,200 copper ferry coins. If calculated roughly, it is equivalent to the number of 1,200 souls saved.

Such a quantity allowed Kieran's strength to be fully unlocked again.

[The mental attribute breaks through a layer of seal, A→A+]

[Two consecutive breakthroughs in strength, agility, constitution, and perception, B+→A]

Among them, the breakthrough of the mental attribute consumed 600 copper crossing coins, and the remaining four attributes, each of which had two consecutive breakthroughs, cost 150 copper crossing coins.

Feeling the strong feeling coming from his body, Qin Ran once again used the breathing method of [Morning Knight Exercise] to adjust himself.

Breakthrough after breakthrough.

One adjustment at a time.

Practice makes perfect, coupled with dedicated connection.

It took Kieran almost a few seconds to adapt to his current body.

Then, he took out the gold coin.

Just like the exchange of copper ferry coins for silver ferry coins, 30 silver ferry coins can be exchanged for one gold ferry coin.

However, due to the rarity and special functions of Jindu coins, this conversion is more expensive. It takes roughly 35 silver coins to exchange for one Jindu coin.

If it were a normal situation, Qin Ran would definitely choose to exchange the money to maximize his profits.

But this time is different.

It wasn't just the first time that Kieran had 'swallowed' Jin Du Qian.

It was even more because of the desire coming from the ‘gluttony’ in his body.

Looking towards the superior evil spirit, Qin Ran chose to swallow the Jin Du Qian in his hand.

The thought just came up.

The Jindu money in Qin Ran's hand suddenly changed.
