Chapter 193
After everyone left the dungeon together, the three teammates said goodbye to Zhang Yuan and rushed back to the Unyielding Great Wall as quickly as possible.
They were all part of the military's strategy team. Now that the mission was completed, their first priority was to go back and report the mission results, write materials, and summarize the mission process.
After that, the military will evaluate everyone's contribution and then reward them according to their merits.
Sima Die watched the three teammates leave, then turned to look at Zhang Yuan, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, thanks to you, the crisis of the Unyielding Great Wall has been resolved. Do you want to go back with me? I will treat you to a big meal."
Zhang Yuan chuckled: "Let's save this big meal for later. I still have some tails to deal with."
Sima Die: "Is it about cooperating with that demon duke?"
"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, "Now that we have thwarted the offensive of the Demon Dragon King, according to the agreement, he will show up, and I want to dig some useful information from him."
Sima Die: "Junior brother, my strength is low, and I can't provide any help in the game between you and the Grand Duke of the Abyss. I don't need any advice or help, but I know that the abyss demons are basically cunning people who eat people without leaving any bones. If you cooperate with them, you will be courting disaster. You must be careful. "
"Thank you for reminding me. I know what's going on."
"Okay, I believe you anyway, so I won't say anything more. I wish you good luck."
Sima Die saw that Zhang Yuan was clear about it, so he didn't say any more nonsense. He jumped directly onto Xiao Cui's back and waved to Zhang Yuan, "I'll treat you to a big meal if I have the chance. Bye!"
"Goodbye."
"Roar——!"
Xiao Cui also let out a long roar and said goodbye to Zhang Yuan. Then it flapped its wings, soared into the air, and turned into a green light and flew away.
Zhang Yuan watched Sima Die and Xiao Cui go away, then turned to look at the Fierce Wind Plains instance that had returned to normal, and said, "The demon duke hiding in the dark, can we discuss cooperation?"
"Zhang Yuan, you are worthy of it. When did you notice me?" At this time, a demon who looked like a white-haired young man walked out of the instance and asked with a smile.
The person who came was Darren, one of the seven dukes of the abyss!
Daeron, one of the seven demon dukes
"Since I conquered the first abyss dungeon, haven't you been secretly observing me in the dark?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and replied: "After watching me for so long, you should have a certain understanding of my strength, right?"
"Of course." Daeron laughed, "Zhang Yuan, even if I am as arrogant as this duke, I have to admit that you are the most talented human being I have ever seen."
"I now have an extremely strong premonition that if I let you continue to develop, on the day of your decisive battle with the Demon Dragon King, the Demon Dragon King is very likely to be defeated by you."
"But... before cooperating with you, I have a doubt."
Zhang Yuan: "Speak."
Daeron: "How can you guarantee that you will be able to win in the future?" After the death of the Demon Dragon King, can I become the new Demon King? After all, when I saw you killing Odysseus just now, you showed no mercy at all. "
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Today I have opened my eyes. It turns out that as one of the seven great lords, the Abyss Demon can be so naive?"
Daren was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yuan spread his hands: "I mean, I am a human, you are a demon, we can never trust or understand each other, and it is a fantasy for us to cooperate on the basis of trust."
"Can I swear a poisonous oath and you will believe me?"
Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Daren narrowed his eyes slightly and did not refute Zhang Yuan's words.
Indeed, he had never believed and did not intend to believe Zhang Yuan, which was the fundamental reason why he used his clone to see Zhang Yuan.
The situation is not clear now, and it is a foolish choice to rashly stand on the side of Zhang Yuan or the Demon Dragon King.
Thinking of this, Darren looked at Zhang Yuan deeply and said, "Go on."
Zhang Yuan: "We can only use each other... You use me to achieve your goal, I use you to achieve my goal, we each get what we need, this is the right answer."
"Hehehe... Zhang Yuan, I suddenly feel that you are more like a demon."
Darren laughed out loud, and then asked, "Tell me, what kind of mutual use do you want?"
Zhang Yuan took out the Abyss Seed that exploded from Odysseus: "Tell me, what is this meat ball called Abyss Seed?"
Darren: "After telling you, what benefits will I get?"
Zhang Yuan chuckled: "This will allow me to bring more trouble to the Demon Dragon King, let him pay more attention to me, and you will have more opportunities to operate in the abyss. Isn't this benefit enough?"
"Or, as the Demon Archduke, you must let me wear the Demon King's crown toYou can only become the new Demon King if you can't do it on your head?"
"Even if I really do that, are you really willing to be a puppet Demon King?"
"Sharp-tongued kid." Daren sneered, "You see it very clearly. Even if I want to be a Demon King, I can't be a puppet of a human."
"But you are right. If the Demon Dragon King focuses on you, I will have more chances to replace him."
At this point, Daren paused, as if he had sorted out the information he should tell Zhang Yuan, and then said: "The Abyss Seed is a unique item created by the Demon Dragon King. What kind of mysterious energy is contained in it, I am afraid only the Demon Dragon King himself knows."
"Humans who eat the Abyss Seed will become demons, and demons who eat the Abyss Seed will gain more powerful power... But no matter whether it is a human or an abyss demon, as long as they eat the Abyss Seed, they will be controlled by the Demon Dragon King. "
"There is no solution to the Abyss Seed at present, at least I can't find a solution, so it was the right choice for you to kill Odysseus before. After all, that guy has been controlled by the Demon Dragon King. If the Demon Dragon King wants, Odysseus can stab you in the back at any time."
Hearing what Darren said, Zhang Yuan looked at the Abyss Seed in his hand, his eyes drooping, "Can this thing turn humans into demons..."
Zhang Yuan thought of his parents who had turned into demons.
They should be controlled by the Abyss Seed. If he wants to save them, he has to start with this thing!
Darren continued: "Since we have come to this point, I will remind you again that the Demon Dragon King's attack on the Unyielding Great Wall is just a test, and he will plan a larger-scale attack next."
"And this attack will take place inside your Great Xia Empire, and it is also related to the Abyss Seed. "
"If you, Daxia, don't respond properly, countless of you will become demons. Once the Demon Dragon King succeeds, not to mention the Daxia Empire, the entire world will fall into the hands of the Demon Dragon King!"
"By then, Zhang Yuan... neither you nor I will have a chance to turn the tables."
