Chapter 777 Suspicion of Libnashi

The swordsman gave Da Chun a magic crystal screen that looked like a tablet: "Take this with you. Any treasures you find will be recorded on it as your achievements. It will also provide early warnings when several particularly powerful sand demons are mobilized. If they do make a move, I advise you to run back as soon as possible."

—System notification: You have obtained the quest item Treasure Recorder.

Um... Ellen and I are both at the initial level of godhood, how powerful could we be sand demons?

So Da Chun and his party left the fortress and were met with a vast expanse of city ruins buried in the yellow sand.

Looking back at the fortress, I suddenly realized that it was also enveloped by a faint barrier. Upon closer inspection, I wondered if the fortress was actually a rooftop garden or something similar on a tall building.
It has to be said, with rune teleportation arrays, barriers, and magic crystal screens, this organization is quite something.

Da Chun pulled out the old strategy map Zhou Qing had given him, found the locations of several jewelry stores, compared them with his current location, and roughly confirmed the direction to go. So, let's move forward.

Speaking of which, Moss said he would arrive shortly afterward.
Could it be that he's the one who actually took over the task of apprehending the Ten Elders? He probably got approval from above to give me this mission, probably to make up for my failure to apprehend them?
After all, how unreliable is it to issue a wanted player warrant? If the player backs down and logs off for a few days, my mission is guaranteed to fail.

In short, get things done.

"Ellen, can the Baron conduct reconnaissance activities with those Nightmare Viscounts we captured?"

Eileen exclaimed in surprise, "They can, but their fighting strength hasn't recovered yet. Are you really going to send them out, dear? What if they escape?"

Da Chun had nothing to say: "If someone is going to run away, they will run away sooner or later. I don't support idle people who just eat for free."

Ellen said, "Alright, let's send Mina and the fake Tifa out too. They can keep an eye on them and also set up a defensive line around us."

Da Chun agreed: "Darling, turn all the radars on."

"OK, dear."

Then Da Chun himself also activated his ley line perception.

In that instant, the outline of an underground structure appeared tens of meters below the yellow sand and within a radius of hundreds of meters.

What the hell!

This effect truly surprised Da Chun. The last time he used Leyline Sense was back in the Mithril Mine Abandoned Prison in Silver City; back then, reconnaissance was slow and the range was small, nothing like this!
With the outline of the underground block in place, and by further comparing it with Zhou Qing's old map, Da Chun's direction became clearer.

Soon, a flash of light appeared on the map!
—System notification: Your Leyline Sense skill has detected a gem-type crystal.

—Task prompt: You have recorded the location of the treasure on the treasure recorder.

We've arrived at the jewelry store! The buried jewels were indeed found. But adding it to the mission log so easily seems a bit too easy, doesn't it? How long have they been searching this camp without finding it?
The more Da Chun stood directly above the ground in the jewelry store, the clearer the jewelry became.

Da Chun decided to send out the vines to burrow downwards, but the vines were his secret ultimate move, and he absolutely couldn't use it in front of those few Bibi Girls, or even in front of Libnashi.

Da Chun decided to find an excuse: "Ms. Libnashi, I'm about to start the astrological treasure hunt ritual. Please stay away from me to avoid interfering with my force field."

The third young lady panicked: "How far? If the monster comes, can you save us, sir?"

Da Chun summoned his long-lost angelic pet: "Don't worry! It'll be fine at around twenty meters."

Libnashi looked around and pointed to a corner of a ruin about twenty meters away: "How about we get there?"

“Okay!” So ​​they went to the corner, spread out a large picnic blanket on the ground, and sat down to eat their packed dinner.

Libnashi sat on the same cloth as them, and this intimate distance made them excited and forget their fatigue: "Head Maid, you smell so good, what brand is your perfume?"

Libnashi was a little embarrassed: "Royal perfume..."

We need to fight monsters at night, can you guys be quiet? What's that smelling good? This game doesn't have a sense of smell...

In short, Da Chun planned to wait until it got darker and no one could see him before officially starting to spread the vines from his feet.

Just then, Lia, who had been silent all along, whispered, "There's something wrong with this head maid!"

Oh!? The goddess figured it out?

Da Chun asked knowingly, "What question?"

Lia said, "Around 10 a.m., the head maid's strength suddenly erupted and then instantly subsided. In that instant, I sensed that she was extremely strong and might not be human! I held back my words and only spoke now that she was far away."

Ellen also said, "I feel like she looks a lot like that head nurse from Oakwood. Is she also Beelzebub?"

Ah, that's right, that period was when my alt account returned after a thousand years! Because my alt account took the Book of Beelzebub to a thousand years ago, it was equivalent to Libnashi also gaining a thousand years of cultivation. My prediction was indeed correct! But I was too busy at the time and didn't have time to ask about her situation, nor could I.

Da Chun continued to ask for their opinions: "If she were Beelzebub, how could she have infiltrated the Emperor's palace? Didn't the Emperor notice?"

Lia said in a deep voice, "The Emperor sealed away the seventy-two demon gods. She is very likely a demon servant who has submitted to the Emperor!"

Holy crap! This analytical angle...

Da Chun continued, "Did I just randomly point at someone in the crowd and select Beelzebub?"

Lia said, "Then it's possible that a certain number of Beelzebub's servants have already taken over the court."

Um... so that's how the NPCs were misled?

Eileen retorted irritably, "It's simply because you can't forget that bitch from Oakwood City."

Hmm... that analysis makes a lot of sense!

However, if they knew she was one of their own—no!
In that instant, Da Chun suddenly realized a serious problem: she had cultivated for a thousand years, could that sealing book still be sealed? After all, that sealing book was only sealed by Eve's avatar soul in the Hall of Heroes.

If Leah's hypothesis is correct, then she wasn't actually an undercover agent at all, but rather the Emperor's demon servant. The consequences... would mean the Emperor knew about the process of sealing her in Eve's Valhalla! Her physical body being blasted away by Michael's artifact, and her unhesitatingly abducting and consuming the Beelzebub prodigy who came for the trials, further proves that she...

Da Chun's head was spinning just thinking about it!
The last time I had such a headache was when Ellen doubted Little White's loyalty! Now it's my turn to doubt my own demon servant!
Lia added, "But don't panic now. The emperor sending such a powerful demon servant to follow us will at least clear some obstacles for our mission. We should also take this opportunity to strengthen ourselves and then escape from prison!"

Da Chun was stunned: "Escape from prison? I feel like I'm being given a very important role!"

Lia said in a deep voice, "Reuse? Even I was used as a sacrifice for consumption, do you think you'll be an exception? It's just that you haven't been fattened up yet."
