Chapter 81 Dangerous Devil's Contract

Chu Cheng turned around and looked around. He could not sense the presence of the Abyss Demon Imothar at all, and there was nothing unusual about the people around him. It was as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

But he was very clear that he had indeed met Imothar just now.

"No, we need to understand the situation."

He gritted his teeth and quickly sent a message to his class teacher Duan Yuqin, telling her in detail what he had just encountered.

Duan Yuqin wrote back to him almost instantly:

"Don't do anything unusual, and don't tell anyone else. Just do whatever you planned to do."

"I know."

"Teacher, is this soul contract risky? Can we exploit bugs or loopholes? Can we not use up all the soul value and keep some until we die of old age?"

"no!"

Duan Yuqin decisively denied it and said:

"The devil's soul contract will not have any loopholes. The loopholes you can see are left by them on purpose, so that you can't resist greed and sign the contract and sell your soul."

"It is true that if you don't use up all your soul value, you can live until the end of your life, but this is not a loophole."

"The devil does not need to take your soul immediately. As long as you sign the contract, there is no difference between taking your soul now and taking your soul a hundred years later. They have enough patience to wait."

"As you gain more life experience and become stronger, your soul becomes more mature and sweeter to them. They prefer mature souls."

"Also, don't think about signing a contract now and then breaking it to get the benefits for free after you become a Legend or even go further in the future. I tell you, that's impossible."

"The more valuable the soul, the stricter the contract."

"If it's an ordinary person who signed a standard contract, this method can indeed get rid of it."

"But if the target's soul value is high enough, the contract signed must be the highest level. The witness of the contract is either the devil lord or the natural disaster master. Even if you are promoted to the god or devil level, you can't escape it."

"The current value of your soul is already more than one hundred units of the origin of the realm. This is definitely the highest level of contract. You must not sign it."

"Uh"

"I won't sign it."

"Be careful, don't sign it, don't believe any promises of the devil."

"Ok!"

After closing the communication, Chu Cheng put his hand on his forehead, speechless.

"It's better to find a way to purify this void mark as soon as possible, otherwise it will always be a trouble."

The devil has come to our door.

These are all minor problems. The big problem will be entering other realms in the future.

The initial reputation is cold, how can I survive?
If you initially have a neutral reputation, you can interact with the natives to gain reputation from the beginning.

But if you change to the initial cold reputation, you won't be able to interact normally with the natives at first, and you can't even make contact with some of the justice camps.

At that time, you will either have to spend a lot of money to first raise your reputation from indifferent to neutral, and then slowly improve it, which will take a lot of extra time and effort.

Either don't take the mainstream route, or take the evil route.

But the evil path is totally inconsistent with his values. He is a normal person. Which normal person wants to be a bad guy?

You have to know that in these realms, the evil path is not just about killing and arson, that is only the initial stage. If any evil camp wants to achieve worship reputation, it will not be able to reach that point without doing some super evil things, such as massacring a town.

Chu Cheng’s values ​​are very normal. He doesn’t want to be an evil boss who kills people and does all kinds of evil things.

After the head teacher finished his admonition, Chu Cheng had completely given up.

The next day, he set out with the vanguard troops to the Orc King's Tribe.

Three days later, the vanguard troops crossed the wasteland and appeared at the Dry River only fifteen kilometers away from the Orc King's headquarters. They found a flat area south of the Dry River to set up camp.

The Ku Shui River is also one of the tributaries of the Black Water River. It is a major tributary and the main source of water for the Orc King's tribe.

There is also a plain across the river, and the Orc King’s headquarters is established on the plain.

A plain along the river has been reclaimed and planted with food unique to orcs.

There are many orc gathering points around, and messy orc tents everywhere. The more you go inside, the more orcs there are. In the center is a huge inner city, and the core of the orc kingship is in the inner city.

When the orcs began to build cities, it meant that the orc kingship was in the stage of transformation from a nomadic people to an agricultural people.

If the transformation is successfully completed, tribes will settle down in the wilderness and establish reclamation areas.

With enough food, the population will naturally multiply. Before long, the entire wilderness will be ruled by orcs, and humans may not be able to stop them at that time.

But they don't have that opportunity. This realm has been transformed into a copy, and it has to go through a cycle every three months. Everything has returned to the starting point, and they can no longer develop.

If you want to change your destiny, there is only one possibility, that is, external forces intervene to break the cycle of the copy realm.

But it is difficult, because this copy of the realm belongs to the school. Once an external force enters the realm, the school, as the master of the copy of the realm, can easily expel the invader, even a legendary strong man.

Unless there is a natural disaster invasion.

However, the copy realms owned by the school are all on the surface of the Chaos Realm, very close to the human main world, and it is basically impossible for the wind of natural disasters to blow here.

Therefore, once the boundary of a copy like this is fixed, it is basically constant.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Chu Cheng. Although he will have his own private domain copy in the future, that will be a long time in the future. What he can do now is to improve his strength as much as possible.

The vanguards did nothing after setting up camp. They only had to defend the camp and wait for the main force to arrive.

As for the nearby tribes, large and small, they had been almost wiped out long before, and those that had not been wiped out had already retreated back to the Orc King's headquarters.

Two days later, a human army arrived and joined the camp.

Another day passed, and the main force of the human army, about 5,000 in number, arrived and joined the camp.

With the main force plus the vanguard from a day ago, the camp now has nearly eight thousand human troops.

Twice as many elite humans as those gathered in the Battle of Blackwater, but at this time the Orc King's army only consisted of orcs, and the Centaurs' army was not there. Based on the comparison of the strength of both sides, the human side was almost certain to win.

The only uncertainties now are how much loss it will take to capture it, how long it will take to capture it, who will be the first to break through the city gate, and so on.

Chu Cheng no longer had any hope of breaking through the city gate. His plan for this battle was to kill as many orcs as possible and get a five-star plot rating first.

As for whether I can surpass Sun Yu, I can only try my best.

The commander of the human army was still Elro. After the main force of the coalition forces arrived, they did not immediately launch an attack, but first established a large camp defense system.

At the same time, on the other side of the river, a large number of orcs were gathering, probably trying to stop them from crossing the river.

Contrary to Chu Cheng's expectations, the army commander had neither prepared a pontoon bridge nor boats, and he didn't know how to cross the river when the time came.
