When Chen Rui left the council hall, it was already late at night. He did not go to Aldas's lab in the outer courtyard, but he walked toward the arena.
Tonight's moonlight was very bright, and the chill was a bit worse than before. However, the cold purple glow that sprinkled on Chen Rui made him feel anxious and hot. This symptom seemed to be worse than a few days ago.
Chen Rui channeled the calm mind secrets, and his heart felt slightly cool. He felt much better. The so-called calm mind secrets was a spirit manipulation technique that he figured out himself. It could quickly find the feeling of calming his mind. Although he didn't need to recite the incantations like "heart as clear as ice, don't be shocked even if the sky collapses", the effect was not bad. It was the harvest of his hard work in the training ground in recent years.
The progress of Star Conversion was now 12%. In fact, more than 12 days had passed. Chen Rui discovered one thing, that was, Star Conversion was not uniform. It would speed up or slow down according to certain fluctuations. Now he controlled more than half of the "God-Eating Mask". Together with the effect of [Refined Mind], the progress of Star Conversion seemed to have slowed down.
However, Chen Rui knew that this slowness was relative. The total time of Star Conversion would not change for 100 days. The slowness now meant the acceleration in the future, and it also represented the increase in danger and difficulty of resistance. But for now, he had to do this because he also needed time to further [Refined Mind] and crack the "God-Eating Mask". It was impossible to give up [Refined Mind] or analyze the artifact now. If that was the case, his consciousness would be completely out of control without waiting for 100 days.
Chen Rui walked toward the arena wearing a cloak. Initially, he could directly channel his power and rush to the arena as soon as possible, but now he understood that the moonlight had a bonus effect on the negative effects. He intended to further hone his mind, so he wasn't in a hurry. He walked at a normal speed while constantly using the calm mind secrets to resist the discomfort of the moonlight along the way.
Although the nightlife of the Demon Realm was not rich, there were many people who liked to hang out at night, such as lively bars, imps who sold all kinds of strange items on the street, dark goblins and lich who set up night stalls … Especially the succubus who seduced people on the roadside. From time to time, she would release her charming talent, making people unable to control themselves. Of course, behind the erotic scene might be a terrible trap. Whether it was a romantic encounter or a nightmare depended on whether there was the corresponding power.
The Dark Moon City was very big. The distribution of these people was very scattered. Some areas were empty and gloomy, while some areas were very lively. This made Chen Rui have the idea of building a night market.
In front of him, he saw a few people surrounding the two girls in the middle. They were waving knives in their hands and threatening loudly. Chen Rui glanced at them. The two girls were dark elves with veils on their faces. They seemed to be sisters, about 16 or 17 years old. The taller elder sister was protecting the younger sister, looking very frightened. Not far away, there was an old dark elf lying on the ground; he had fainted.
This kind of thing happened almost every day in the Dark Moon Estate. Those guys wielding knives seemed to have a powerful background. Initially, there were some demons nearby, but when they saw this situation, they all hid away for fear of getting into trouble.
Chen Rui felt that the outfits of these two dark elf girls were a bit familiar. He suddenly remembered, Aren't these the two daughters of the mysterious dark elf, Skye, Eve and Alian in the Cloak Gang? The dark elf lying on the ground … is Skye!
Among the Demons surrounding the two girls, the strongest one is only at the early stage of Higher Demon. Skye's strength is at least Great Demon King. Why can't he even defeat these weak enemies, and let his two daughters be in danger?
Chen Rui thought of Skye's injury and seemed to realize something. At this time, an ugly centaur reached out to grab Eve's veil. Eve screamed. The veil had been pulled down, revealing her appearance. Her facial features were beautiful, but there were many ugly markings on her face, which made her look very ugly.
Several guys were stunned, then they started cursing. Eve covered her face, and a guy took the opportunity to grab Alian. Chen Rui could no longer stand idly by. He put on his mask and instantly flashed in front of the two girls. He kicked the lich who grabbed Alian away.
"Where did this guy come from? How dare he meddle in our business?"
Although Chen Rui had released the breath of a Higher Demon, the Higher Demon leader did not retreat. Instead, he seemed very arrogant.
"Eve, what the hell is going on?"
Eve didn't expect this person to know her. When she was surprised, Alian's eyes lit up. Apparently, she had recognized Chen Rui and said, "Sir, father took us out for a walk, and we encountered these people blackmailing us. It just so happened that father's illness was acting up …"
"Don't be long-winded!" The Higher Demon finally had some scruples about the strength shown by Chen Rui. He sneered, "These two women ate 2 pieces of mud cakes sold by Zha Zha, so they have to pay 2 black crystal coins. You just hurt my brother, so you have to compensate at least 8 black crystal coins. It is a total of 10 black crystal coins. We are from the Gorefiend Gang. Even the guards dare not meddle in our business. Pay up if you know what's good for you! "
Alian's voice sounded, "Just now you clearly said that you can taste it for free, and you even took the initiative to give it to me. You also said that it only costs 1 white crystal coin per piece …"
The goblin named Zha Zha jumped out and clamored, "It's obviously 1 black crystal coin per piece! Who said I can taste it for free? "
Chen Rui finally understood. Skye came out with his two daughters and encountered blackmail. Skye didn't care about the strength of these people at first, but at the critical moment, his old injury acted up. It could be said that a tiger was bullied by a dog.
Chen Rui also thought of a personal experience on Earth. When he was in college, he and a roommate met an Xinjiang man who was pushing a tricycle to sell walnut cakes on the street. He originally said it was 5 yuan per catty, so he wanted to buy 1 catty. As a result, the guy cut it with a knife and weighed 5 catty, and the price suddenly became 5 yuan per catty. 50 yuan per catty, so 5 catty was 250 yuan.
Chen Rui and his roommate certainly didn't want to be this kind of 250 yuan. As a result, the Xinjiang man called several accomplices over with knives and forced them to buy it. The other party outnumbered them. In desperation, Chen Rui and his roommate had to admit defeat. They didn't have that much money on them, and the only 100 yuan they had was taken away.
What was even more infuriating was that when they went to the police station to report, the police asked about the incident in detail, did a routine registration, and then sent the two away. There was no follow-up. After a few days, Chen Rui saw this group of Xinjiang people on the street again.
People who knew told him that due to many reasons, the police really couldn't do anything. It was also legal for these people to carry knives. When they entered the police station, they pretended not to understand Chinese. In the end, it was easy to be released again. The only way was to stay away from them. In fact, there were Xinjiang people among Chen Rui's classmates. They were warm, hospitable, and easy to get along with. However, in recent years, more and more Uygur people were blackmailing, pickpocketing, and robbing in various places. This had tarnished the reputation of the Xinjiang people.
Thinking of his previous experience, plus the fact that the Gorefiend Gang was the sworn enemy of the Cloak Gang, Chen Rui had a strong desire to kill. His figure flashed, and the Great Demon leader's vision blurred. Then, he was slapped in the face. The strength of this slap was quite strong. It sent his whole body flying. Then, there was a series of "pa pa" sounds. Except for the goblin scum, no one in this group stood up.
The most miserable one was the Higher Demon leader. He was lying on the ground with his neck unreasonably twisted. It was obviously broken by a slap.
The goblin scum's body trembled. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. His pants were soaked with hot and smelly liquid. He was so scared that he peed.
"My name is Aguile. Go tell your leader, Wick, that in a few days, I will personally visit the Gorefiend Gang."
Aguile! Only then did the goblin know that the cloaked man in front of him turned out to be the biggest enemy of the Gorefiend Gang. His legs turned soft, and he collapsed to the ground.
Finally, the meditation formula played a certain role. Except for the Higher Demon, the rest did not die. Chen Rui withdrew his murderous aura. Alian felt that she had vented her anger and cheered, "Sir is so powerful!"
Chen Rui touched Alian's head, then he picked up the veil and handed it to Eve. He happened to see that Skye on the ground had opened his eyes. He immediately stepped forward and helped him up.
Skye had already seen the situation just now. He smiled bitterly, "Thank you, sir leader. If it weren't for sir, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Chen Rui shook his head to indicate that it was okay, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go."
Eve put her veil back on, and together with Arianne, they helped Skye slowly out of the alley.
Chen Rui changed his mind at the last minute and escorted the three father and daughter back to the Cloak Gang.
When the old goblin, Didi, saw his master, he was naturally excited. Chen Rui didn't give the old goblin too much time to show off. He followed Skye and his daughter to the small courtyard where they lived.
After sending the old goblin away, Skye had almost recovered. He once again expressed his gratitude to Chen Rui.
In Chen Rui's [Analytical Eyes], Skye's strength was no longer unable to be judged, but B. He was indeed a Great Demon King-level powerhouse.
"Sir Skye is too polite. You are also part of the Cloak Gang now, so you don't have to say anything else." Chen Rui pondered and said, "Please forgive me for asking. Is there a way to cure sir's injury completely? Also, Eve and Alian's illness seems to be getting more and more difficult to control. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been taken advantage of by that guy. "
As he said, he took out six bottles of potions, two bottles of healing potions and four bottles of antidote potions. They were master-grade potions made by Aldas. However, there were only six bottles of these two potions left. They could only be obtained from the exchange center, but those grand master-grade potions couldn't be revealed easily.
"These six bottles of master-grade potions may not be able to cure your illness, but please accept them. I hope sir can continue to contribute to the Cloak Gang in the future."
"Thank you." Skye didn't accept the potions. He was silent for a moment and sighed, "I'm an old man with illness, so I can't help much."
"Then help him as much as you can. Jesse still needs your guidance." Chen Rui couldn't reveal the other party's strength. At the moment, at least this mysterious powerhouse was still on the Cloak Gang's side.
"Jesse is my disciple, so I should guide him." Skye frowned and said, "You saved my father and daughter again today. I don't like to owe favors. If sir can double the amount of these two potions, I will give sir a set of magic leather armor that I collected in my early years as an exchange. "
As he said, Skye took out a set of leather armor. It was tough and exquisitely sewn. It even faintly exuded magic waves.
"This set of leather armor is made from the skin of a mutated tri-horned rhinoceros. It can enhance physical defense and reduce magic damage."
Enhance physical defense and improve magic defense? Two enchantment attributes! Chen Rui was secretly surprised. Even the dark star iron weapon enchanted by Torre only had one bloodthirsty attribute.
When Chen Rui was in the underground, he had seen taurens making leather armor. However, making armor was not the taurens' forte. The leather armor in front of him, whether it was craftsmanship, enchantment or the feeling it gave, was far better than the taurens' craftsmanship. It was as if it was not only a leather armor but also a work of art. It was by no means an ordinary product!
