In fact, shaking hands and making peace was a great help when fighting Duriel.

Duriel, as one of the four little demon kings, is also good at releasing poisonous fog. Moreover, the tomb of Tal Rasha where he is located is very narrow, and the entrance is only wide enough for one person to pass through. After finally getting in, you will be faced with the demon king's freezing magic. If you are slow to react and unfortunately get frozen, the dark green poisonous fog will spray towards your face. If you are hit by such a set of magic, you are basically dead. Whoever gets close will be unlucky.

Ye Gucheng's body was hidden inside.

At the beginning, Duriel set his eyes on Yuan Shisan's body. He controlled Yuan Shisan and bewitched him to stab the Soul Stone containing a part of his soul into his heart, which would be considered a successful possession of Yuan's body.

He had been sealed in the Tomb of Tal Rasha for too long. Didn't he come down from hell to the human world just to let those hateful Nephalem experience the pain? Now he had a new carrier, and everything he did would be much more convenient. Duriel felt unprecedented happiness. Based on the principle that good things belong to everyone, he also prepared a body for his good brother and boss, Baal the Lord of Destruction, who was sealed together with him, with a younger and more handsome appearance.

It was also Ye Gucheng's bad luck that he died in front of the portal to the mysterious shelter and met Duriel as soon as he went out.

After bringing the body back, Duriel became more and more satisfied and liked it more and more. He used all the torture instruments in the cave on that body. As if he heard the painful wails of the long-dead body, Duriel became even more excited. However, when he found out that those wails were just his imagination, he became irritable again, so he used the torture instruments on himself again. For the King of Pain, pain is happiness and suffering is enjoyment.

Because he was too excited and happy, Duriel played too much and Yuan Shisanxian's body was soon broken by him. He felt it was a pity, but then he thought, there are so many powerful Nephalem in the world, if this one is broken, there will naturally be another one.

Then Yuan Shisanxian's broken body was thrown out through the portal again, becoming a pool of blood and flesh on the ground in the shelter.

So at that time, Yuan Shisanxian didn't actually find his own body, but accidentally stepped on his own body, thus successfully picking up the body in another sense.

The process of killing Duriel was really difficult. Wuhua took the lead in the first battle. He controlled the Demon King with a graceful dance, but he could only control him. No one else could attack him. Anyone who tried to attack the Demon King by sending the scroll through the town was confused by the damn dance and stared at him blankly. Even if they blindfolded themselves, it would not work!
Wuhua went dancing and came back skipping.

The first battle was lost.

In the second battle, Xiaolongnu entered the tomb alone, intending to give the Demon King a baptism of love. However, when she was released, she found that her skills could only target humans. If she hadn't opened the scroll quickly, the Demon King would have had one more collection.

In the third battle, Wen Xue'an volunteered. After he had mastered his skills, he walked into Duriel's room with his head held high. With his 100% favorability and the halo of the Virgin Mary, he conquered Duriel in just one encounter.

The demon king was deeply impressed by his charm, and infinite love and pity rose in his heart. He simply didn't know how to express his love, so he stubbornly gave Wen Xue'an all the things he thought were the best - a complete set of torture instruments polished by the demon king himself, from iron figurines covered with spikes, to two-foot-long bone-piercing hooks for hanging corpses, and various swords and spears inlaid with runes that could double the pain...

He only had time to use one of the torture instruments, and this evil star in the martial arts world had to go to the dark resurrection point with his two unlucky teammates.

In the fourth battle, Ximen Chuxue went.

As the old saying goes, good tricks are never afraid of getting old, as long as they work. He once again lowered his charm to the lowest level, put on a sarcastic face, and successfully held hands with Duriel in minutes.

After the success, teammates came in one after another and greeted the Demon King. They even went back to have a meal when they were tired of fighting.

Although the Duriel was controlled, it did not prevent him from releasing poison. In addition, his true form was a big red maggot with very short hands. When those two short hands held Ximen Chuxue's hands, the two people had to stand very close to each other. When the Demon King was hit to death by wave after wave of attacks, he had to curse.

The poisonous fog comes out of the devil's mouth.

Ximen Chuxue put almost all of his points except for his charm into poison resistance, and he managed to hold on for a while.

Unfortunately, time dragged on and he finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to take bottle of drugs. After finishing the drugs, he lay down at the resurrection point. A few minutes later, the portal opened and the handshake and peace package started again.

Duriel's health bar was much thicker than Andariel's. Thirty people took turns to chop him down, using all kinds of methods. It took a whole day and night to send the demon back to hell.

He walked in a very dirty way, and his huge body mixed with sticky blood and blood exploded directly, filling the whole room. No one in the monster-killing team was spared, and they were covered in sticky flesh and blood. Each of them looked like they had just been fished out of a septic tank, and the small room was filled with belching sounds.

Even more unfortunately, there is a lack of water in the desert, and the nearest water source to Lugaoin is the sea, which is a seven-day journey away at the fastest.

No one wants to recall how those seven days passed.

After drifting on the sea with the caravan for more than half a month, the Dark Monster Fighting Group finally arrived at the Kurast Harbor. The climate here is very special. It rains almost all year round, and the weather is hot and stuffy. It is also a poor place, far inferior to Lu Ghaoin, but much better than Rogue Camp. Lu Ghaoin's specialty is gold, silver and jewelry, while the Kurast Harbor is rich in various spices, which are more valuable than gold.

The monster-hunting group is not short of money. They have learned without any instruction that after killing monsters, they can just rummage through their pockets as if nothing had happened and put the gold coins, gems or weapons they found into their own pockets. They would never ask stupid questions like a naive swordsman, "Must foreign warriors have money?"

Lin Xian'er and Shi Guanyin missed this innocent swordsman very much, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. They were always looking forward to him getting back the supplies they wanted from the zombie world.

Unfortunately, a whole night passed and the poor Sword God didn't even have time for a midnight snack.

In the early morning, the drizzle of rain hit the cowhide shack. Inside the shack, a large pot on the fire was stewing a fragrant soup. The mushrooms were picked by Lei Chun and Xiao Longnu early in the morning. They were thrown into the pot and cooked casually. Before serving, some fine salt and a handful of green onions were added. The taste was extremely delicious. Except for the possibility of meeting a villain after eating it, there was no other disadvantage.

Each member of the monster-hunting team drank a bowl of mushroom soup slowly.

"We have searched all over the place, including the Skinning Jungle. There is indeed no monster left. Even if we put all our points into poison resistance, we can only last half an hour against that sheep scorpion."

"Sheep Scorpion" is the new name Lu Xiaofeng gave Mephisto, symbolizing his deep contempt for the devil of hell! But to be honest, she does look like him.

There is only a thin layer of red skin on the tall red skeleton, and the exposed limbs are like long ribs, which looks as shabby as it can be.

Lu Xiaofeng sipped the soup, sighed deeply, and said to Shi Guanyin: "If we can shake hands and make peace, things will be much easier, so I have to trouble you to call Ximen Chuxue back."

Shi Guanyin also sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid that even if I call him back, he won't be willing to use that skill again."

"Why?"

Shi Guanyin asked, "How high is Ximen Chuixue?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "More than eight feet?"

Shi Guanyin asked, "Where is the demon god?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "About two or three feet."

"That's it." Shi Guanyin laughed and said, "The height difference between these two people is so big. Have you ever thought about how funny it would be if they shook hands? I believe that Ximen Chuxue would never allow such a thing to happen." Lu Xiaofeng was convinced by this reason, but he did not give up: "But he will come back anyway."

Shi Guanyin asked, "Who said that?"

"Aren't you going to call him back?"

"He can come back or not, but he has no say. The decision is in my hands." Shi Guanyin smiled and said, "I think he knows this principle better than you."

……

The box that Guan Minghui was dragging was so big that it almost blocked her entire upper body. She was almost exhausted when she climbed to the twelfth floor. However, when she saw Ximen Chuxue again, she felt that all her efforts were worth it.

The sun hadn't come out yet, and the corridor was dark and quiet. She stood at the door, regulating her breathing, and before she could free her hands to knock on the door, it opened.

Ximen Chuxue frowned slightly when she saw the huge box. Guan Minghui suddenly poked her head out from behind the box and said with a smile, "I'm here to deliver something to you... Can I come in?" She was still panting, and her hands holding the box were shaking a little: "I'll just go in and rest for a while."

Even though Ximen Chuxue had an unkind face, he would not chase away a girl who was kind enough to send him something.

"Ah, this is placed on... Damn!" Guan Minghui was shocked when she entered the living room. There was no place to sit, let alone place to put her feet!
Although it was dark inside, the results of last night's battle could still be seen clearly. Although I had heard about it from Yue Lingshan, hearing about it was one thing and seeing it with my own eyes was another.

"You...you...you slept here...last night?" Guan Minghui stuttered for a long time before she found her voice.

Ximen Chuixue said: "No."

No one would leave their bed unused to sleep in the ruins.

Guan Minghui followed Ximen Chuxue into his bedroom with a confused look on her face.

Although the living room was messy, the bedroom was very clean and tidy. The light pink sheets did not have a wrinkle at all, and the quilt was neatly folded. It was obvious that Ximen Chuxue had been up for a while.

Guan Minghui sat on the bed somewhat awkwardly. Ximen Chuxue did not sit down. He stood quietly under the window, listening to Guan Minghui talk.

"Thank you so much for last night! I was almost scared to death when I was standing in the door. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I don't know what you like to eat, so I brought some bread and sausages... Why don't you sit down?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "Men and women are different, so they sit at different tables."

Guan Minghui: "...Actually, these things are no longer important now. You should adapt to local customs and stop being so feudal!"

Ximen Chuixue asked: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Guan Minghui twisted the knot on her clothes with her hands, staring at Ximen Chuixue without blinking, pursed her lips, and said, "Nothing else...just...ah! We have to gather downstairs at 8:30 and take you to get familiar with this place. But it's still early now, so you can sleep a little longer. Do you always get up so early? By the way, I heard an earthquake upstairs last night, and I was so worried about you. Are you okay?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "Yes."

A simple "hmm" answered all her questions.

As expected, the atmosphere became awkward. Normally, at this moment, at least nine out of ten girls would feel extremely embarrassed and would not be able to help but say goodbye and leave immediately. However, Guan Minghui was the exception.

Far from feeling embarrassed, she was in surprisingly high spirits. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement and her eyes seemed to be shining.

She sat for a while, and as if she just remembered something, she happily dragged the box she brought to the front and took out the contents one by one to show them.

"I don't know what you have here, so I just took some. These are razors, one electric and one manual. These are candles and lighters. These are shampoo and shower gel. I also brought you two thermoses. If you need hot water, just go to the boiler room. The water there is pumped from an artificial lake and is not drinkable. The water quality is not clean. But don't worry, Brother Chu said that he is going to dig a well in the community. It will be done in the next few days."

"As for the change of clothes, I don't know what size you are. You can go get them later. The warehouse has all sizes... Here, bread, for you." Guan Minghui tore open the package and handed it over.

Ximen Chuxue took it and immediately smelled a rich milky aroma. The soft bread was covered with a thick layer of butter. It looked delicious and was definitely not comparable to the sour, straw-smelling black bread in the Rogue Camp.

But he didn't eat it immediately. He just stared at the bread, his eyes seemed to be dancing.

We are just strangers, why are you so attentive? Why are you so passionate?

"You don't want to eat?" Guan Minghui asked cautiously, but her tone was filled with excitement and joy: "Is it because... human food doesn't suit your appetite?"

She seemed to be expecting him to say that.

Ximen Chuxue didn't look at the bread this time. He looked at Guan Minghui, and couldn't understand why he was expelled from the party just because of a piece of bread.

"Thank you." He said, "I don't like to owe favors to others. If you need me to do anything, just ask. I will not refuse."

"Really?" Guan Minghui jumped up from the bed: "Can I sleep with you? Now!"

Ximen Chuixue: "..."

He was silent, and a strange blush suddenly appeared on his pale face.
