Demon Race Stirs, Envoys Arrive
The moon hangs high in the sky, its crimson hue etched upon the earth, as if bearing original sin, both poignant and cruel.
Since the Dormitory Survival Game released its mission at noon, the Demon Army has not launched another attack, but has only reinforced the defensive forces outside Heaven's Gate once more!
Other than that, they did nothing!
Titan Building, now given a respite, seized the opportunity to accelerate the collection of spoils, the extraction of resources, and the construction of facilities.
At the same time, the players in Mad King Building and Titan Building Player dared not take their eyes off the Demon Army. Countless gazes were focused on Heaven's Gate, watching the Demon Army's every move.
Under the watchful eyes of so many, the Demon Army made a move.
The guards at the gate dispersed, and a group of elite Demon Race emerged from the Heaven's Gate. Leading them were four Venerables, among whom were the Black Lotus Venerable and the Thousand-Eyes Venerable.
Immediately afterwards, Black Lotus Venerable led another Venerable toward Titan Building, while Thousand-Eyes Venerable led another Venerable toward Mad King Building.
Each side led a team of no more than ten men, but all of them were elite troops.
What are those Demon Race doing?
"Do they really think sending four leaders will be enough to take over our two buildings?"
"That Thousand-Eyes Venerable is pretty strong! He's a level 53 Lord-level monster. If it weren't for the Dormitory Survival Game that boosted our privileges, we wouldn't even be qualified to investigate!"
"..."
The players were completely baffled, not understanding what the Demon Race were up to.
Before long, the Thousand-Eyed Venerable and his group were the first to arrive at the Mad King Tower's safe zone.
The Flame Demon Tower and the Mad Sentinel kept attacking, but the attackers either dodged or withstood the attacks without retaliating.
The Mad Sentinel were extremely lethal. Seeing that his subordinates couldn't withstand the attack, the Thousand-Eyes Demon Race sent them back, while he and another "Red Dragon Venerable" sped towards the Mad King Building.
Before long, the two arrived at the front of the Mad King Building.
All the Mad King Building Player tensed up, and the timid ones ran back to their dormitories.
The bolder ones lingered in the corridor, looking for possible opportunities.
Fighting the Venerable One outside the dormitory is tantamount to suicide; no normal person would do that, but the Mad King Building Player are inherently abnormal.
"Holy crap, the big monster really came over!"
"Floor Leader Mundo, come quick! Let's team up and kill him!"
"Whisper yourselves, the humanoid monster might understand us!"
"Huh? Why aren't the Mad Sentinel attacking them anymore?"
"The Flame Demon Tower has also stopped!"
"It was the Building Lord who gave the order: Stop! Don't kill them yet!"
"..."
Flame Dragon Venerable listened to the commotion around him and felt utterly speechless.
Kill us? Are you serious?
"There's hope." Seeing that the building had stopped attacking, the Thousand-Eyes Venerable's eyes lit up, and purple energy swirled around him as he flew towards the top floor of the Mad King Building.
The Red Dragon Venerable followed closely behind.
Upon reaching the Thirtieth Floor, the two Venerables saw a large, plump woman dressed in battle armor. The moment Red Dragon Venerable saw this woman, he frowned and instinctively wanted to move away.
"Hello." The Thousand-Eyes Venerable bowed to Wu Huihui, then flew into the corridor and headed straight for the Demon King Castle.
The corridor on the Thirtieth Floor was very spacious, and many people were standing in it, looking at the two Demon Race commanders with different expressions.
This feeling of being spied on and guarded against made Red Dragon Venerable somewhat irritable.
"The Demon Race Lord Thousand-Eyes pays respects to the Building Lord the Mad King Building!" the Thousand-Eyes Venerable proclaimed.
Many players heard this sound.
Only then did they realize what these high-ranking Demon Race were up to!
"It's a negotiation?!"
"Holy crap, the Demon Race have become intelligent!"
"We're natural enemies. How can monsters and players possibly make peace? How can we possibly negotiate!"
Will Lang Ge agree?
"..."
Wu Huihui leaned against the railing, turned her head to look at the buildings where the attack had stopped, and already knew the answer in her heart.
Whether or not we talk about it is another matter, but at least we can listen to what they say.
Just as she was thinking this, the small door to the Demon King Castle Reception Hall opened, and a blonde maid stood behind it, saying, "Come in."
The players watched as the two Venerable Ones entered the Demon King Castle, and immediately began to discuss among themselves.
In the end, everyone came to the same conclusion.
The Demon Army's arrival may have only one purpose: to force Mad King Building to hand over the NPCs!
"Please have a seat, both of you. The host will be here shortly!"
The blonde maid led the two venerable ones into the house, and then left.
In the Simulation dream, the blonde maid stayed behind, and then some unpleasant things happened. This time, Xu Lang let her leave, and it's unknown what new changes will occur.
At this moment, Xu Lang was sitting on the sofa, but in an invisible state. This invisibility talisman was ordinary, but when combined with the Wanderer's Hat, it became extraordinary.
"Where is your Building Lord?" Red Dragon Venerable asked.
The blonde maid didn't even turn her head as she walked into the passageway leading to the main hall.
This passage is off-limits to unauthorized personnel; outsiders cannot enter, nor can they see or hear anything happening inside.
[Nightmare Eye - Thousand-Eyes Venerable: The seventy-seventh Venerable of the Demon Race, whose eyes can see a thousand miles and pierce through illusion...]
"No wonder he kept staring at the passageway during the dream Simulation; so that's his ability."
Without a second thought, Xu Lang unleashed the full power of his Nightmare Eye, thoroughly examining the information about the Demon Race, their intentions, and the combat strength of the two individuals.
Ten minutes or so had passed. The Red Dragon Venerable was growing impatient, while the Thousand-Eyes Venerable remained calm from the inside out, waiting for an opportunity.
Since Xu Lang had let them in, he couldn't just do nothing.
Perhaps Xu Lang was secretly observing them, waiting for them to lose their composure. Once people lose their composure, their previously held principles will crumble.
"Where is he?!" Red Dragon Venerable slammed his fist on the table, extremely agitated.
Just then, Xu Lang emerged from the passage and said nonchalantly, "Can't you even wait a little while? Compared to your goals, this little bit of time should be insignificant."
The Red Dragon Venerable was speechless, unsure how to refute.
"Building Lord Xu, my brother here simply feels somewhat humiliated," the Thousand-Eyes Venerable said, defending the Red Dragon Venerable. Then, staring at Xu Lang, he exclaimed in admiration, "Your bearing is no less impressive than that of the Demon Emperor!"
Xu Lang chuckled lightly, "So, it seems Lü Qing is quite a character indeed."
It's a pity he's male, and he doesn't have any particular fetishes. If he did, perhaps Demon Emperor Lü Qing could actually provide him with comfort.
"How dare you insult the Demon Emperor!" The Red Dragon Venerable felt he could no longer suppress the rage within him.
"Red Dragon, we're not here to fight." Thousand-Eyes Venerable glanced at Red Dragon Venerable and said calmly, "Besides, this lord is on the same level as the Demon Emperor. You should show him some respect!"
We didn't come here to fight, so why did we bring such a hot-tempered person?
Xu Lang watched the two perform quietly, his heart unmoved. Given the environment of the Demon Realm, there probably wasn't much academic education for them, and they weren't particularly skilled in social skills or emotional management.
