Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Because of his previous actions, his current position in the Jiangdong faction is very awkward.

If Sun Shangxiang really married 'Lord Lai Guang' with Master Bu Lianshi, then no matter what, he would have to fill up his harem.

Otherwise, if the harem of Lord Raikou were to unite as one, then Zhuge Ke would never have a chance to succeed.

As long as he creates chaos in the harem and introduces several new forces, Zhuge Ke will be able to "pass off fakes as real" among them and return to the "wise master".

Thinking of this, Zhuge Ke couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It's a fake, I didn't expect that Zhuge Ke would have such a self-deprecating day.

But considering that Kai is good friends with Sun Shangxiang, and both of them are more or less "naive", and Aichi is a widow who has remarried and has a daughter as a burden, and Joan of Arc, a foreign woman, is good friends with Shu Han, it seems that he needs to find a few more allies and then bring in a few more women of high status.

Zhuge Ke's brain started working quickly, trying to grab the most reliable "life-saving straw" among the crowd.

Then, his eyes stopped at the cavalry behind Taiyi.

The special operations team is a core force that is trusted by Taiyi and accompanies him in hunting down the snake monster.

Among these people, only Huanmeng Village has the greatest power, and the village chief and shrine maiden of Huanmeng Village, Tachibana, is currently in Jianye City.

If I go to her... No, it's too late.

Zhuge Ke shook his head and sighed inwardly.

Tachibana has many trusted subordinates who are all very powerful, so there is no chance for him to interfere or even seize a high position.

After much deliberation, Zhuge Ke finally set his sights on Da Qiao.

At the moment when Sun Ce passed away, her situation was extremely embarrassing.

After all, she was just Sun Ce's concubine.

It was okay when Sun Ce was around. After all, she was favored and almost no one in Jiangdong dared to do or say anything to her.

but now……

Sun Shangxiang is the only legitimate descendant of the Sun family, and Xiao Qiao's backer Zhou Yu has also passed away. The two sisters have completely lost their support and are at the lowest point in their lives.

Although there is still the remaining influence of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, how long can this influence last?

Zhuge Ke thought about it and decided to test the two sisters' thoughts after some time to see if there was any chance to take action.

With just a casual glance, Zhuge Ke discovered that there were people around him who had similar thoughts, and it seemed that he was not the only one.

He has already come into contact with several former important officials who had to weaken their voice in Jiangdong because of their ingratitude.

What surprised him most was that there was even a woman among them.

And when their eyes met, the other person even gave him a smile.

Sima Yi's wife, Zhang Chunhua.

In the era in which Zhuge Ke lived before he was drawn into this world, Sima Yi's talents had already been fully demonstrated, and even his uncle Zhuge Liang did not get any good results at his hands.

Zhuge Ke didn't think that the wife of such a man would be someone easy to get along with.

Specific example...his aunt Huang Yueying is the best example.

And what smart people are best at is "thinking too much", which made Zhuge Ke begin to doubt whether Zhang Chunhua also had any strategy, and whether that strategy would have any impact on him.

"Aqiu——" Taiyi, who was sitting on the horse and had already said goodbye to others and was about to continue his journey, suddenly sneezed.

“This shouldn’t be the case.”

Considering that the weather has not changed suddenly and that he is still strong and not feeling weak, Taiyi frowned slightly.

After losing the protection of Aix, even though he still had the power of Minamoto no Raikou and Jeanne d'Arc, he still had a slight degree of paranoia.

Therefore, after putting on the alias of 'Raikou', he never mentioned his real name again.

So even with such a sudden sneeze, I couldn't help but start to wonder if there was someone plotting against me behind the scenes.

Chapter 67: The Movement of the Demonic Snake

The traces of the demon snake are the easiest to find at the moment.

After all, that thing is huge and very destructive, and when it crawls it's almost like plowing the ground.

All you need to do is pay more attention to the ground conditions around Guzhi City, and it will be easy to determine the movement paths of the six evil snakes.

"Hiss - snakes are indeed boneless reptiles." Taiyi looked down at the ground not far from Guzhi City, which was suspected to be the place where he and the demon snake had fought. The traces were so messy that it was impossible to tell the order and direction of front, back, left and right. Taiyi couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Don't waste time in the center." Sakura glanced at the chaotic traces and shook her head, reminding, "Disperse to the periphery, it's best to observe the more single traces."

"Such a strong evil aura..." Ayane murmured as she looked at the ruins of Kozhi Castle with an unpleasant expression.

"Hey, it's really a big guy." Rachel moved her wrist and said, "If I fight alone, I may not be able to deal with a demon of this level."

"That's why we need to cooperate as much as possible." Hongye also frowned and looked at Gu Zhicheng, "However, I didn't expect that there would be such evil energy in the world..."

"I heard that it was the manifestation of the power of the one who created this world after it was divided." Kasumi pursed her lips and said, "It's definitely difficult to deal with... It's more incredible that Lord Raikou can fight many alone and even kill them alone after dividing their cooperation."

"There are two traces in the north." Namu, who had chosen a direction to observe, said, "One leads to the due north, and the other leads to the north-east."

"We have also spotted a trace of Ichizo in the south." Hatsuho pointed in the direction of Kyushu and reported, "To be precise, it should be a little bit south-east."

"There is also one heading northwest." Sakura and Bu Renshi reported after they returned. The latter even gave a rough sphere of influence. "It will probably pass through the sphere of influence of Oda-Tokugawa."

"Moreover, the last intelligence about Cao Wei's main force also came from that direction."

"Hey, Tokugawa and Shu Han hid in the Chengdu area, while Cao Wei and Oda disappeared in the west of Oda's territory... It seems that the only top leaders who died were Koto and Hojo, who had a good relationship with Koto." Taiyi curled his lips and complained.

Bu Lianshi looked at Taiyi with a somewhat conflicted expression.

This person's words are somewhat unpleasant to the ear.

"Where did the other two go?" Bu Lianshi began to change the subject.

"Didn't find it." Ayane and Kasumi came back and reunited and shook their heads.

"We've checked in several other directions, and there's no sign of anyone leaving alone." Hongye also shook her head.

"I suspect the remaining two may have turned around and returned to the ruins." Rachel said, pointing to the ruins of Guzhi City.

"...Let's go in and take a look first." Taiyi felt that Rachel's words made sense, so he decided to form a group to explore the ruins of Guzhi City first.

After entering Guzhi City, everyone had a certain understanding of the destruction of Guzhi City when it was ravaged by the demon snake.

Looking around, there were ruins and rubble everywhere, and there was not a single intact building to be seen.

"The demon snakes are huge, and there are no buildings that can hide their bodies, so I guess they have probably dug a hole and are living underground." Taiyi stomped his foot and reminded, "So everyone better be careful when moving forward, don't be careless and fall in because of the cracks that suddenly expand due to the worms in the ground."

If Taiyi remembered correctly, there seemed to be magma where the demon snake was hiding.

If something falls down accidentally, there may be no hope of it floating up again.

The horses were tied to heavy objects outside Guzhi City. The reason was that this place was full of dangers, and the horses could not be used as stepping stones after being used as a means of transportation.

So the things that were used to explore the way ahead are gone.

Almost everyone walked on tiptoe, for fear that they would accidentally use too much force and cause the ground to collapse and they would fall down.

The crowd divided into groups of three or two and spread out to look for the huge cave that was suspected to be the hiding place of the demon snake.

Not long after, news came from Ayane and Kasumi.

A huge gap was found in the basement inside the hall.

Inside and outside the gap, traces of huge, strip-like objects were found crawling in and out.

"This is it." Ayane led everyone to the periphery of the huge gap.

"It's so tall... The size of this demon snake may be beyond my expectations." Rachel looked up at the top of the hole where ash was still falling from time to time and swallowed.

"Anyway, let me go in and check out the situation inside first." Xia suggested, "Everyone wait for me at the cave entrance for a while."

"I'll go in with you." Ayane grabbed Xia's wrist and said with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, "I have the responsibility to supervise all your actions in this world."

Having heard the word "tsundere" from Taikou and comparing it with Ayane, Kasumi instantly understood the true meaning of Ayane's coy words.

She is worried about me!

She has me in her heart!

The corners of Xia's mouth began to curl up unconsciously.

Although she really wanted to agree to it, the situation inside was unclear, and the degree of danger kept rising with Taiyi's detailed description of the demon snake. Kasumi was very worried about letting Ayane go in with her.

But she couldn't refuse.

She could only look helplessly at the other people present, seeking help, hoping that someone would stand up and speak for her.

"Stop fooling around, both of you." Taiyi glared at Kasumi and Ayane with a serious expression, "If you really encounter a demon snake, without someone who can hold it back, you two may not even have a chance to escape."

Xia's smile froze before it could even appear.

Taiyi's words didn't sound like he was speaking in her favor. Instead, it sounded like he was taking the opportunity to scold both of them.

"Naki, Hatsuho, Sakura, Renshi, and Momiji, the rest of you stay outside and keep watch. Rachel, Ayane, and Kasumi, I'll go in and investigate the situation." Taichi turned around and called everyone to his side and began to assign tasks. "No matter what noise you hear, none of you can force your way in until someone comes out."

"I understand." Sakura nodded and followed Taichi's order without hesitation.

Hatsuho pouted, thinking that this was a great adventure, but she was forbidden to participate, which made her feel unhappy.

But now Taiyi is so powerful that she dare not refuse.

So she could only turn her eyes to Namu, hoping that Namu could take the lead and say something for her.

Don’t be like Sakura. Being too obedient is not a good thing. You will miss a lot of interesting things!

But that wood also disappointed her.

Seeing Namu nodding in agreement, Hatsuho dropped her shoulders helplessly.

Chapter 68 Rachel: Are we just saying that we can’t deal with Yuan Luzhi?

"It's so hot... How long have we been walking? What's going on down there? Is it straight to the center of the earth?" Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Rachel loosened her tights on her chest, then looked at Xia in the front and asked, "It's like being in a steamer."

"Well, Ayane and I have been specially trained since we were young, so we don't feel much when the temperature is too high or too low." Xia looked back at Rachel and replied, "But this heat is indeed a bit unusual."

"Damn it." Ayane clenched her fists unwillingly.

She was different from Xia. She could see that Xia, who was walking in the front, was indeed not affected much by the heat. But although she looked similar to Xia on the surface, she was actually as hot as Rachel on the inside and wanted to take off all her clothes to cool down.

However, she was unwilling to show weakness in front of Xia, so she was still trying to be strong.

"If there's anything wrong with your body, tell me right away and retreat quickly." Taiyi reminded, "We don't know what's inside the demon snake's lair. It's even possible that the air here is filled with substances that are harmful to the human body."

"Yes!"×2.

"OK!"

The group of four didn't know how long they had walked down, when the view ahead suddenly became wider.

"Everyone, be alert. We may have arrived at the resting place of the demon snake." Xia turned her head and reminded.

In an instant, Rachel went from being a normal person complaining about the heat to a battle-hardened elite with sharp eyes and a proper posture.

Ayane also pulled out two scimitars from her waist.

Kunai is OK for dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers in the demon army, but it can't even scrape the huge demon snakes.

The mandatory deduction of some health is the reflection of the game mechanism into reality.

"No wonder it's so hot... We must have dug into the magma layer." Looking at the rolling orange magma not far away, Rachel pursed her dry lips.

The color of this magma is at least 900 degrees.

It's not a place where humans can stay for long.

"Traces of the demon snake..." Xia pointed to the shore of the lava flow not far ahead and reminded.

"Can these guys actually live in magma?" Rachel murmured, holding her breath.

Living in magma at over 900 degrees, she could already imagine the hardness of the demon snake's skin.

"My weapon is specially made. As long as you are careful not to touch the demon snake with your body, you can fight it. But you two..." Rachel frowned and looked at Kasumi and Ayane, "I'm afraid the existing weapons can't cause any damage to the demon snake."

"Just harass." Taiyi said, "None of the three of you are tasked with the main attack."

"I will focus on getting rid of one of the demon snakes first. Your task is to contain the other demon snake during this period." Taiyi added, "Put your own safety first. Don't force yourself or act rashly."

The impact of the magma area on Taiyi was much weaker than expected.
