Chapter 51 Hellfire Demon Dog
Qin Lun looked closely and realized that the Flame Demon Monkins was indeed holding a small creature in his hand.
This is a canine creature with only two heads, with wrinkled skin and slightly trembling with closed eyes. It seems that it has just been born. The double-headed puppy is only the size of a palm, lying on Monkins's palm-fried hand. If you don't pay attention, you will really ignore it directly.
Qin Lun soon noticed something. Although flames and smoke were emitting from the palm of the Flame Demon Monkins, the puppy was awakened without any sense of anything, still had saliva, and slept very sweetly.
"It is a newborn Hell's Double-Headed Dog, a branch of the Demon Hound!" Beruses explained with a smile.
"I have heard of this kind of creature, but it must have just been born!" Qin Lun looked at the two-headed puppy curiously.
He also searched for some information about the five management races of Demon Horn and knew that Hellhound is a low-level creature of the Demon Clan. Hellhound is brutal by nature, loyal to his duties, and acts as quick as the wind. It is an excellent summoning creature.
However, Qin Lun's face was quiet and he was not satisfied with this summoning creature. The reason was that the low-level hellhound was small and did not meet the standards of melee meat shield.
"There are many types of melee combat in the demon clan, but the powerful fourth-level melee meat shield is not easy to find!" Beluces seemed to see the doubts in Qin Lun's heart, and shook his head with a wry smile, "After receiving your request, we gave birth to more than a hundred hellhounds with pure bloodlines, and then we selected it!"
"There are many types of hellhounds, and their combat abilities are very different after adulthood. Please don't underestimate it. Among all its companions, this puppy has the highest affinity for fire elements!" Beluces said lightly, "The magic circle on the ground is drawn with the blood and souls of other hellhounds. It is both a contract magic circle and a sacrifice magic circle."
Qin Lun's pupils shrank and he frowned slightly. He heard the implicit sound of Beruses. The cunning demon seemed to explain the cherishment and excellence of this hellhound, but in fact he was also telling him in a vague way the demons put in their efforts.
"His Excellency Monkins will inject part of his power into the little thing through this sacrifice array, forcibly promoting this Hellhound to the Hellhound, also known as the Ancient Melt Nuclear Dog." Beruses continued with some seriousness, "The Hellhound is a large creature that fully meets the positioning of a melee meat shield. However, adult Hellhound is rarely below the seventh level, but you can only sign a fourth level creature, so..."
Although Beluces did not finish his words, Qin Lun had fully understood. The demon clan did have good intentions. They not only wanted to find a summoning creature for themselves, but also wanted to use the advanced potential of summoning creatures to make themselves reluctant to give up the Hellfire Demon Dog in the future. Using this summoning creature to maintain his potential connection with the demon clan.
Although the demon clan has various thoughts, they have indeed paid a huge price on this hellfire demon dog. Not to mention the more than 100 hell puppies that sacrificed the magic circle, there is also the power of a high-level flame demon sacrifice. This is a conspiracy that Qin Lun had to accept, and it is rich in the usual cunning style of the demon clan.
After thinking it through, Qin Lun was a little helpless. The highest summoned creature that can be signed with Maize's summoning technique can only be level 4, and level 4 is exactly the lowest level intermediate creature. At this level, it is indeed a bit difficult to find a powerful melee meat shield.
If Maize's summoning technique can improve the setting of one or two levels, his choice will be much greater, and he doesn't have to owe such a big favor to the Demon Clan. Even if the Hellfire Demon Dog is still a puppy now, its advanced potential is comparable to that of the advanced demon. This favor is not smaller than the World Tree Fruit provided by the Moonlight Elf.
"The transaction provided by the nobles is too big, I'm afraid I can't afford it!" Qin Lun said with a bitter face.
"How could it be? It is just a fourth-level creature after all. As a high-level apostle who is about to enter the threshold of profession, you should not be unable to pay the bargaining chips!" Beruses blinked with a sly look on his face.
The rating of the apostles by the wisdom race is different from the true rating of the apostles. Professional apostles already possess many offensive and defensive skills, and their health is no longer as rare as that of the primary apostles. In addition, the existence of recovery items makes it difficult to be killed. In the eyes of the wisdom race, apostles of this level can already be included in higher-level creatures.
In fact, in the long river of history, there are indeed few professional apostles who die at the hands of local races. Unless they fall into a trap, there are ways to escape. This is also the reason why the wise race is afraid of the apostles. If they cannot kill one blow, they will get into a disaster that will never die. As long as they live, they will continue to increase their strength.
"You look down on me so much. No matter what, I have just passed through three mission worlds, and the resource accumulation is limited!" Qin Lun shook his head.
Since he decided to get closer to the demon clan, he had no intention of hiding the truth. Only by showing the value of investment will the demon clan pay more attention to him, and the difficulty of obtaining demonic bloodline will be reduced a lot in the future.
"Have you really only crossed the world of three missions?"
The expression on Beluces's face was unpredictable. He knew that Qin Lun had only spent two missions in the Demon Horn, and the personal information given by the elves was once, three times in total. Moreover, judging from Qin Lun's transaction information at the auction, he should have successfully completed the mission in another world and gained considerable gains.
It is easy to track down this kind of information by managing races, but the old cunning demon also knows that the Moonlight Elf has a deep relationship with Qin Lun, and is not sure whether the elves have tampered with the apostle information.
The demon clan has a long lifespan, and it has been thousands of years since its establishment in the Horn of Demons. Beruses has dealt with thousands of high-level apostles.
In his memory, there are not apostles who are close to the threshold of professionalism in the three mission worlds, and there are even great people who can directly transfer their jobs through the trial world. However, these apostles have very strong qualities, with high-level combat ability, and can easily cross the threshold of transfer.
Apostles like Qin Lun who are ordinary people but can quickly climb in just three or five mission worlds are rare. Such apostles are generally good at wisdom and strength. As long as they act cautiously and have some luck, they will basically become powerful figures in the future.
Of course, Qin Lun is still a thousand miles away from such a storied person, but people like him are the favorite targets of the wise race. Because when he becomes truly powerful, the wise race will lose the opportunity to make him owe favors.
"Seventy thousand broken crystals, what do you think?" Qin Lun looked at Beruses seriously.
Potential does not equal strength. If this Hellfire Demon Dog wants to truly advance to a higher-level creature, he will have to put in great effort to cultivate it in the future. Even if he successfully sacrifices now, he will only have level 4 after reaching the summoning contract. The 70,000 broken crystals can already obtain a good piece of dark gold equipment at auction, which can almost offset the value of the Hellfire Demon Dog.
"Do you have so many broken crystals?" Beruses said with a smile, "I heard that you bought a pair of top-notch dark gold guns at the auction house a few days ago."
"Your information is not detailed enough. That transaction did not involve a large amount of currency circulating, but just bartering." Qin Lun said indifferently.
"This...hehe, you know that I didn't mean it!" Beruses was slightly stunned and rubbed his palms awkwardly.
As a race managed, the demons can find out some information about the auction house. However, they cannot find the bottom line about the specific content of the apostle transaction, which is a very taboo thing.
"Haha, actually I will buy some things next, and there is still a big gap in funds. If the nobles agree that I owe 50,000 broken crystals to credit, that would be even better!" Qin Lun smiled when he saw the awkward expression on Beruses's face.
"Of course, you are such a shrewd person!" Beruses patted his chest and pretended to breathe a sigh of relief.
The demon clan paid such a huge price, of course, not for the sake of just 70,000 broken crystals, but for Qin Lun to owe a favor. If he really turns the Hellfire Demon Dog into a pure transaction, then he will lose his foundation. Qin Lun's current method of credit is to default on the hidden rules of favor, making the old cunning demon let go of his worries.
"Okay, Mr. Qin Lun, since you are satisfied with this little thing, I will inform Mr. Monkins to start the sacrifice ceremony. Please step back and listen to my order to cast the summoning spell!" Beluces said seriously.
After the two of them left some distance, the flame demon Monkins, standing in the center of the magic circle, slowly let go of the newborn hellhound. The two-headed puppy, the size of a palm, was bound in the air by a mysterious force. The entire sacrifice array made of the blood of the soul of the hellhound began to shine with bright blood.
Accompanied by the cunning magician's demonic chanting, wisps of smoke-like blood-colored souls rose from the sacrifice array. The souls of these puppies gathered into thin lines, slowly connecting to the only surviving brother in the air.
The lava cracks on Monkins' body began to leak out fiery red magma. These pure fire element magma slowly condensed together, like a fiery red infusion tube, and also connected to the newborn hellhound in the air.
"Woo!" The pair-headed puppy, the size of a palm, trembled, opened its eyes, and let out a whine at the Fire Demon.
In Qin Lun's surprised eyes, the double-headed hellhound grew sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon changed from the size of a palm to the size of a washbasin, and then turned into a calf. The soul of the smoke-like puppy was swept away by it, and the lava tube connected to it Monkins was like a straw, pulling fire elements from the flame demon in waves.
"It's now!" A reminder from Berusses suddenly came from Qin Lun's ears.
Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and a wave of law flashed in the hall. However, Beluces and the cunning magicians around the magic circle seemed to have no feelings about this kind of law fluctuation, only the flame demon Monkins looked at him with some awareness.
"Ao!" The Hellfire Demon Dog, who was the summoning object, also felt the law of contract and let out a roar of resistance.
Feeling the resistance of the Hellfire Demon Dog, Qin Lun was slightly shocked. When he got the Big Black Bear BEN, it was the exorcist Boni who helped him complete the summoning contract. He had no experience in signing the summoning contract, so he could only bite the bullet and connect the soul of the Hellfire Demon Dog with consciousness.
In fact, even Beluces did not expect this change. How could the old cunning demon know that Qin Lun had no experience at all.
Fortunately, the Flame Demon Monkins keenly noticed the subtle changes in the magic circle, and a brutal light flashed in his eyes. He pinched his hand and crushed the lava tube, cutting off the power output to the Hell Flame Demon Dog.
"Woo!" The Hellfire Demon Dog, who had lost food, made a dissatisfied whimper and instinctively began to ask for the summoner...
