Devil’s Son-in-Law

Chapter 1064: The Unexpected Crisis of the Treasure Hunting Team

The change in Python’s attitude could be called a sharp turn. After the change of mind just now, Chen Rui calmed down and asked, “Which 2 things?”

“First, collect all the 7 artifacts.”

“What’s so special about this?”

“Wait until you have collected all the 7 artifacts…” Before Python finished speaking, her pupils contracted suddenly because she saw 7 things appearing around Chen Rui.

“Wind Badge! Fire Badge! Darkness Badge” Even Python, who was always calm, couldn’t help but be shocked, “You have actually been recognized by the 7 artifacts!”

“I’d say surrender rather than recognition.” Chen Rui was right. He did not get the recognition of the artifacts, but he forced the imprint of ‘Chen’ on the 7 artifacts with [Deep Analysis]. It was indeed equivalent to surrender.

“Surrender?” There is another inexplicable meaning in Python’s shocking gaze, “Who are you?”

“Chen Rui. Chen Rui’s Chen, Chen Rui’s Rui.” Chen Rui spread his hands, “But now the Illusive Demon Shield, the Dark Shadow Cape and the Breeze Shadow Boots have not fully merged. Can you tell me what happens when the 7 artifacts fully merge?”

Python was silent for a moment, “I’m not sure either. Maybe nothing will happen; maybe everything will end because of this, and it’s a new beginning.”

“I seem to have heard someone say this kind of the answer before, but in fact it means nothing.” Chen Rui could see that Python was not willing to talk on this topic for a long time, so his tone changed, “Anyway, your first condition has been satisfied already.”

“En.” Python nodded slowly, “The second condition is to defeat Satan without using my power this time. If you can do this, then I will truly surrender to you.”

“No doubt.” Chen Rui took a deep breath, “According to your conditions, I can’t hurt you until I do this. Then if I get killed by Satan during the battle, you who only signed the master-subordinate contract will also be free again, right? You may also be able to reap the benefits at that time, which is indeed a good plan. But have you ever thought about it, now you are imprisoned in my ‘world’. Once I really die, you may perish together as well.”

“That’s my business, you don’t have to worry about it.” Python was unmoved, “Anyway, this is my condition, do you agree?”

“I have to rely on my own strength to fight Satan. Even without you, I already have this realization.” Chen Rui said calmly, “Okay, I promise you.”

“Very good.” There was a hint of admiration in Python’s eyes, and she slowly nodded, “I will continue to restore my soul in your kingdom now – This world feels very strange to me. it’s like a real universe. I also want to feel the special power here. You’re a smart person, I believe that you will not do self-defeating things like forcibly controlling me, but I still want to remind you that my secret technique works at all times. Any external interference or attempt has only 1 result: Perish together.”

“You’re also smart, so you should know the consequences of not keeping your promises. I will never tolerate your worthless or even threatening existence.”

“If you can beat Satan in 2 months, I, Python, swear by my soul and this strange kingdom power, will follow you for life.”

Chen Rui clearly sensed that the soul of Python did not fluctuate in the slightest. This oath seems to be a real determination. Since the 7 artifacts appeared before Python, this woman’s attitude seemed to have undergone some special changes. Chen Rui also didn’t know why.

Python gave him a deep look after saying her oath.

“If you really are, you can create real miracles”

The voice drifted as the woman’s body gradually disappeared.

I really am? What I am really? Chen Rui was curious, but he didn’t waste time to think further. Python’s awakening could be regarded as cutting off the last fluke in his mind. Next, he could only prepare for the battle.

Just as Chen Rui was about to leave the Super System, his facial expression suddenly changed, because he felt a certain link in his mind was suddenly disconnected. To be precise, it was the power of someone’s link.

The Super System’s link was somewhat similar to the soul contract, but its strength was far greater than that of the soul contract. Even a linker whose strength was above him could not take the initiative to cancel the link.

Now, auto-disconnected links only meant 1 thing: The linker died.

What made Chen Rui secretly relieved was that the disappearing link object was not the members of the Ghastly Floating Land test nor his most cherished relatives and friends, but someone else. His brows furrowed immediately because the death of this person was quite unexpected.

Vesilna!

Vesilna was the Demi-God level powerhouse that Chen Rui subdued in the Ghastly Floating Land. After accepting the [Star-level Enhancement] and star conferring, her strength had almost reached the peak stage of the Demi-God level. Due to the Super System, she became a faithful believer of Chen Rui.

Chen Rui had long heard from Alice a while ago that Adeline and Helen wanted to go back to the Dead Sea to see their long-lost tribe and relatives. Coincidentally, Lalaria got a ‘treasure map’ from the Dead Sea. Olypheus’ eyes turned into black crystal coins, then she proposed to explore treasures together, which was immediately approved by several people. Vesilna went together to protect them. Alice originally wanted to follow secretly, but she was caught by the maroon lamp spirit, Manlace.

Unexpectedly, Vesilna died suddenly now. This means that Lalaria and the others must have encountered great danger!

The link of Olypheus was still there, but due to the limited quota of the original equality link, several other girls had not been linked, so it was impossible to know their specific safety. The most awful thing was that there were only 2 months left until Satan’s due date for the battle. Time was precious. Yet at such a time, such an accident occurred!

Chen Rui thought for a while and decided to set off for rescue immediately.

Although he had no love between man and woman for Olypheus, and the contract between the boss and the bodyguard was purely a scheme, the naive and greedy Ms. Black Dragon had always been a sister-like existence in Chen Rui’s mind (Yini: Hey, the little girl is much older than you, isn’t she?). The obedient and docile Adeline was also akin to a younger sister. The little mermaid princess with a vicious mouth was actually just complaining a lot, but her other factors were definitely worthy of a friend title. Sisters and a friend are now in danger, I must not sit back and watch.

Uh… As for the flat-chested loli who has 3 forms, she can only be counted as a bonus. I’ll consider it a favor for the Old Dragon Emperor Father-in-law.

The location happened to be the Dead Sea, and he had a super spaceship like the City of Stars. He really came to the right place for training.

First of all, it was necessary to find out where Olypheus and others went to search for treasures. The most likely to know was the tribes people of Helen or Adeline, so his first destination was the land of the sirens and nagas.

Chen Rui took out the map drawn by the sandmen in the Dead Sea. Crystal Phoenix quickly absorbed the information displayed on the map, accurately positioned the known sea area, and quickly determined the nearest siren tribe before the spaceship flew at full speed.

The speed of flying in the air was the fastest, especially for a super spaceship like the City of Stars. The Devil’s Snare Ship had to sail for several days to reach the siren area, but it took a moment for the battleship to arrive.

Chen Rui already heard that long-lost wonderful singing through his keen sensing system.

However, the current feeling of the singers was definitely not ‘wonderful’. When this behemoth object came out of the air at a terrifying speed, the first reaction of the sirens was panic. A lot of sirens then bravely sang the battle song, trying to confuse this huge ‘demonic beast’. Unfortunately, that kind of singing had no effect on the City of Stars or the alchemy beings inside.

Some sirens began to chant magic in preparation to attack. At this moment, a figure appeared in the sky above the sea area, “Don’t panic. I’m a friend of siren. I want to meet Matriarch Elena.”

This voice revealed a deterrence that was unimaginable by the sirens. Their whole soul was shaking, and the battle song as well as magic stopped involuntarily.

“Which ‘friend’ wants to see me?”

The sea in front slowly surged, and a graceful figure appeared under the moonlight. This was a very beautiful woman with black hair and golden eyes. There was a little golden crystal on her forehead. She was wearing a sexy robe, exuding mature charm all over her body.

It was not the first time Chen Rui had seen this attractive mature woman. This was Helen’s mother, Matriarch Elena of the siren tribe.

Chen Rui put on the ‘Aguile’ face which was familiar to the sirens, and he nodded slightly to Elena, “Hi Matriach Elena, we meet again.”

“Sir Aguile!” Elena expressed her surprise and hurriedly bowed. Chen Rui and the Old Dragon Emperor Father-in-law joined forces to get rid of the Holy Dragon Rodriguez, and also solved the biggest existential crisis in this sea area. For the siren tribe, he was indeed a benefactor.

“Thank you sir for taking care of Helen in the Fallen Angel Empire.” Elena already knew that after her daughter didn’t encounter some of the things she imagined after leaving the Dead Sea. In contrast, she lived a very free and happy life. Elena was really grateful to ‘Aguile’.

Not only that, Elena’s current strength was the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, but ‘Aguile’ was becoming more and more unfathomable in her eyes. It was obvious that he had stepped into the super-level, so her mind was more fearful.

“Matriarch Elena, skip the courtesy. I have something urgent. Is Helen still here?”

Elena shook her head, “Helen and her friends came here about 4 months ago, but they didn’t stay long, Then, they went to the nagas’ Thunder Snake Archipelago, saying they were visiting Ms. Adeline’s mother and sister. Next, they went looking for a treasure, but I don’t know the exact location of the treasure.”

“Thunder Snake Archipelago?” Chen Rui nodded, “I’m going to the Thunder Snake Archipelago now, excuse my rudeness.”

“No problem, sir.” Elena suddenly remembered something again, “By the way, does sir know someone named ‘Chen Rui’?”

Chen Rui was taken aback, “He’s considered my friend. What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just that Helen seems to be talking about this person’s name a lot when she came back. I don’t know if that’s her crush.”

“Huh?”

Chen Rui was speechless. Judging from Elena’s words, the little mermaid princess with a vicious mouth did not reveal his true identity, but Elena must have misunderstood.

The so-called nagging was not because she liked the person, but the habit of complaining. He could already imagine the derogatory words such as ‘lousy’ and ‘shameless’ used by the little mermaid princess.

“Uhm, I don’t know about this. I will leave now.”

“Have a smooth journey, sir.”

TL: Who is related to the 7 artifacts really?
