   Chapter 1244 One Hundred Eighty Two. A New Source of Humanity

  The inferior demons called 'fire demons' are special in that they exist in the form of magma, just like elemental life.

   They are like other fiends that roam the wilderness, **** is everywhere, and they are more repulsive to native life than fiends - they can exist on their own or merge with each other, flowing with lava, converging in lava lakes or oceans, and integrating into tribes.

   The fire demons that form a colony are difficult to deal with. And the trouble is, magma is everywhere in hell.

   So they are not the lowest level of **** like the undead.

  Because of the fire demon community, the town moved from "Beautiful Lake" to Howling Canyon, and gradually declined.

   "We left guides in the town, but fewer and fewer demons come." The Blue Blood Sheriff whispered nostalgically.

   A long time ago, as a law enforcer, it managed hundreds of demons and arriving guests, and even had two subordinates, but as **** is no longer connected to the world, the town and its glory are no longer.

  The waiter still didn't bring back the map, Lu Li asked for more information while the blue-blooded sheriff was still willing to talk, such as who the mayor was.

  "Brubi", this mouthful name belongs to the mayor of Beautiful Lake Town, and what the name means when Lu Li first stepped into **** has been known: high-level demon.

  The waiter now emerges from behind the counter, laying down a few rough leather maps of unknown name, better suited than sheepskin for keeping in a fiery hell.

  The two maps correspond to the old beautiful lake town and the new beautiful lake town respectively, and the other one was grabbed by the waiter and not handed over.

   Butterfly wing-like ornate cursive text marks many locations on the map, the new beautiful lake town at the foot, the Howling Canyon leaning on it, and the old beautiful lake town in the lower left corner.

The   Landscape Analysis Map is drawn in a diameter of about 20 miles and is relatively fine--just relative. Because apart from the place names, the map does not mark the lair of the **** creatures as expected.

  Perhaps the nests around the town have been cleaned up, but Lu Li prefers that no one will draw the map after the fall of Beautiful Lake Town, which is confirmed by the blue blood sheriff.

   Comparing with each other, there are some subtle differences between the old and new beautiful lake town maps. For example, on the old beautiful lake town map, the island in the center of the lake is the size of a small town, while in the new beautiful lake town map, there is only an invisible point left.

   "Are there any weird... infernal lair around town?"

   "Huh, of course." The blue-blooded sheriff's cold hum meant that they were hostile.

  Lu Li looked at the waiter again, it was clutching the last leather map and didn't hand it over.

   "This one needs to be paid for!" the waiter screamed against the threat of the blue blood sheriff.

   The blue sheriff groaned and threw the black mud magic ball given by Lu Li. The meat ball rolled over the counter and was held by the waiter who threw the map.

"thanks."

Lu Li picked up the map on the counter and observed the irregular texture on the rough leather. This was a map with a larger scale than the previous two. Both the island in the center of the lake and the Howling Canyon were all shrunk in the corner, and the island town in the center of the lake was even bigger. It was later marked on the map.

  The center of the map belongs to a **** town called "Abyss City", which the blue sheriff said is controlled by the Devil Lord - it has never been there. Lu Li simply compares the span of the map. Howling Canyon is about 60 miles in length and the length of a fingernail. From Abyss City to Howling Canyon is about an arm's length - even if he travels day and night, Lu Li can't get there in 24 days.

  The preciousness of this map lies in its scale. Towns and lairs in a radius of thousands of miles are marked: Tombs of the Dead, Marquis Castle, Church of the Spider God, Ruins of the Fallen...

   This means that Lu Li has a considerable source of humanity - provided he can beat them and that they are still there.

   Beautiful Lake Town had not migrated when the map was drawn.

  The closest town to Xinmeihu Town is Rift Valley Town at the other end of the Howling Canyon. It is about 60 miles away. The canyon that is slightly inclined to the east and extends to the north is barely on the way.

   "Do you still have contact with Rift Valley?"

"No."

"why?"

   The straight-line distance of 60 miles between the two towns is not too far, and there are canyons connecting the two ends on the terrain, so it should not be difficult for the demons of **** to pass.

   The blue-blooded sheriff raised his forearm-like **** claws and pointed to the middle of the canyon: "It collapsed and was occupied by the banshee and turned into a Wailing Cave."

  Lu Li temporarily set the goal to enter the canyon to solve the Wailing Cave and reach the Rift Town at the other end. But before leaving, maybe you should find a way to harvest the fire demons in "Beautiful Lake".

   "How do I trade souls?"

  Lu Li intends to use the soul obtained by solving the Black Mud Demon. Hell is evaporating his humanity all the time, and the soul can be consumed in place of humanity, as well as used as currency.

   The latter is more useful now, he can't always lie to these **** creatures with his bare hands.

  The waiter drilled into the hole in the floor again, and soon appeared, holding a round barrel engraved with irregular textures, like a wine barrel with a spout.

   "Put your hand in and release the amount you want to extract. A portion of the extracted soul goes to the tavern."

  Lu Li raised his head to look at the blue-blooded sheriff. Compared with the waiter, this law enforcement officer was more credible.

   "The tavern will draw a tenth."

   The fair blue-blooded sheriff confirms that this is not a lie, and debunks the waiter's little trick.

  Lu Li nodded and put his right hand into the barrel, a pain like tearing his soul surfaced, Lu Li endured it, and let a faintly bright band of light gushing out of the barrel's hose. Formed into a curled finger-sized sphere of flowing halo, if you look closely, you can see that the soul is surging in it.

   is the same soul and currency, but not the weird currency. Strange currency is made of frozen souls, and only when you put them in your ears can you hear the whimpering of the undead.

   Lu Li retracted his right hand, where the torn feeling has not disappeared: "What's its face value?"

   "13 souls."

   "How much is equivalent."

The waiter's answer was 169 days of **** attrition, 130 trained wicked slaves, 39 days in the tavern, 23 bottles of half-dead wine, two mid-level demons for a month, succubus for seven nights, skeleton horse Five days of food, two deluxe packages in the tavern, a chance to change from a low-level demon to an intermediate-level demon, a ticket to the abyss city, and 0.7 new beautiful lake town houses.

   can't be converted into shillings or weird currency, because souls are not just money, they represent the continuance of existence - every 13 days, the scorching winds of **** wear out 1 soul.

   The right arm that split the soul was temporarily weak, Lu Li stretched out his left hand to pick up the soul, and an unexpected change suddenly appeared - the soul melted into the body due to the redemption fragments in the left hand, and turned into adulthood and poured into the body.

   about 0.1 servings.

  13 souls can only be exchanged for 0.1 humanity, but the key is... the soul can be exchanged for humanity.

"what have you done!"

   The waiter held up his head and screamed in shock, a little trouble occurred: Lu Li failed to give the tavern 1.3 soul rewards.

   But Lu Li has long stopped paying attention to this. Because if the soul can be replaced by human nature...

   "The lair around Beautiful Lake Town is a threat to the town, right?" Those quiet er black eyes fell on the blue-blooded sheriff who was waiting for law enforcement.

   "If I help you solve the threat...how much will the town pay me?"
