Chapter 180 The Bride-to-Be Under the Starry Sky_2
"The Trial Badge is definitely not a problem, but how are you going to get the entrance ticket?" Chu Jun asked with some confusion.
"Just follow me." Li Xiu took Chu Jun to the Trial Gate and then mimicked Li Qingyi's actions, having Chu Jun insert the Trial Badge.
If it doesn't work once, try again. His luck was quite different, and by the fourth Trial Badge, the light pattern on the door displayed that special form.
"Alright, let's go in." Li Xiu said as he walked in first.
Chu Jun followed him in, still half-doubting. After passing through the Dark Maze, the reward indeed included an entrance ticket.
"No way, that works too? How did you manage that? Is there some trick to it? Teach me quickly." Chu Jun's eyes widened in disbelief.
Li Xiu didn't keep it a secret and told Chu Jun how to identify the entrance ticket.
"So that's how it's done. If I'd known, I wouldn't have wasted so much time grinding for entrance tickets." Chu Jun said.
Li Xiu thought to himself, "This trick is only for you rich guys. Who else would be willing to play like that?"
The two arrived at Black Death City, seeing no one else inside. It seemed that even if ordinary Trial Takers randomly got an entrance ticket, they wouldn't choose to use it.
Even if someone chose it, it's no good if they can't afford the contract.
But as more Trial Takers come along, surely more and more people will enter Black Death City, and by then, it will be bustling.
After the Black Death Demon appeared, Chu Jun was about to summon his demon spirit to fight, but Li Xiu stopped him: "Don't rush. I recently got a new demon spirit. Let me try out its abilities first."
"Another new demon spirit? How'd you get so lucky? Where did you get so many demon spirits?" Chu Jun was full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Li Xiu ignored him and summoned the Bride-to-be.
"Husband..." As soon as the Bride-to-be appeared, she let out a chilling call.
This startled Chu Jun: "Whoa, what is this thing? How'd you get a Sadako... And why doesn't this thing have any light... Is it an ordinary demon spirit?"
"Ordinary demon spirit? What are you looking at? Don't be fooled by her looks; her fighting power is definitely beyond your imagination." Li Xiu said with a smirk.
"That strong? I don't see it." Chu Jun looked left and right, unable to see anything impressive about the Bride-to-be.
Without a flowing light pattern, she just seemed like a Sadako in red, floating and looking a bit formidable, but nothing else stood out.
"Do you know what it means to play the pig to eat the tiger? Do you know what it means to hide one's light under a bushel? I'm telling you, read more books. You can't judge a demon spirit by its appearance; you have to appreciate its depth." Li Xiu said with a smile.
As the Black Death Demon approached, Li Xiu immediately ordered the Bride-to-be to engage.
Li Xiu was quite expectant of the Bride-to-be. Although she looked a bit scary, as long as her fighting power was sufficient, nothing else mattered.
Being the only Aurora Demon Spirit, Li Xiu planned to prioritize her training when resources became available.
As the Black Death Demon charged forward, the Bride-to-be, having received the battle command, didn't seem to react.
But seeing her calm and unmoving demeanor, she must be waiting for the Black Death Demon to get close and then defeat the enemy in one strike.
"How is she going to attack? Will she grab the Black Death Demon's neck with one hand and twist it, or open her mouth wide, impossibly wide, revealing sharp teeth and biting off the Black Death Demon's head..." Li Xiu was calculating in his mind when he suddenly saw the Bride-to-be move.
The Bride-to-be's figure flickered and vanished immediately.
Chu Jun and Li Xiu were both startled by her speed. Their eyes widened, looking at the Black Death Demon, eager to see how she would take it down.
But they didn't see any trace of the Bride-to-be near the Black Death Demon, finding it strange how she suddenly disappeared.
"The Bride-to-be has invisibility ability? That's a nice skill. It's practically a cheat." Li Xiu thought with joy.
Suddenly, a spooky woman's voice came from behind Li Xiu: "This humble one is a bride-to-be... dares not let others touch her besides her husband... please, husband, decide..."
"What the hell... You're a demon spirit, aren't you supposed to... make me fight the demon spirit... what good are you then?" Li Xiu was so frustrated he could almost spit blood but swallowed it back down, almost choking on the spot.
Chu Jun was laughing so hard to the side. Between laughs, he gave a thumbs up and said, "So strong... so profound... so cultured... truly hidden... under a bushel..."
Li Xiu was helpless. He recalled the Bride-to-be and summoned the Jedi Knight, who went on a rampage, dealing with all the Black Death Demons that appeared.
"Haha, Li Xiu, your demon spirit sure is something. Not only can it speak, but it also uses classical Chinese. It's indeed powerful! But you shouldn't test it in the Black Death City; you ought to test it at home. But I have a word of advice for you, my brother... Be mindful of the differences between humans and demons... Take care of yourself..." Chu Jun said with a smile, patting Li Xiu on the shoulder.
Li Xiu snorted coldly and replied nonchalantly, "You can handle those Mechanical Skeletons outside the city later."
"No problem, you take good care of your bride-to-be. Leave this small matter to me." Chu Jun laughed.
