The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2026: Behind the Scenes, the Transformed Demon

Just as the dazzling golden light and the bottomless darkness were intertwined and fighting fiercely.

Matthew also took advantage of this opportunity and rushed into the dark room at the fastest speed.

When Matthew plunged into the darkness, the first breath he felt was cold.

A biting cold.

The temperature in here is obviously much lower than outside, as if you are in a cold world.

However, for Matthew, such low temperatures did not affect him in the slightest.

Observing this dark curtain from the outside, it looks like a pool of stagnant water as dark as ink.

But only when he actually stepped into it, Matthew was surprised to find that it was not completely shrouded in darkness as it seemed from the outside.

On the contrary, there is actually some bright light here, making the whole space look a little weird and blurry.

After a brief pause, Matthew silently concentrated his mind and began to use the unique sensing method taught to him by the old man in golden robes to find the specific location of Ji Luo.

Since Matthew had never seen Giraud himself before, without the help of this sensing method, even if he successfully broke into the dark room, he would probably just be like a headless fly, unable to find the target person.

After sensing, Matthew finally succeeded in locking down the approximate location of Giro.

Without any hesitation, he immediately turned into a black stream of light and rushed towards that direction at an astonishing speed.

At this moment, surrounded by darkness, Matthew carefully adjusted the color of his own escape light so that it blended with the surrounding environment and turned into a deep black.

In this way, he can better conceal his whereabouts and avoid being discovered prematurely by potential enemies.

However, just after Matthew flew for a long distance at lightning speed, suddenly, a deafening roar exploded beside him without warning.

"where are you going!"

The sudden roar startled Matthew. He slowed down suddenly as if he had slammed on the brakes. Then he turned his head sharply and looked in the direction where the sound came from with a sharp gaze.

When he looked closely, he saw a huge, hideous-looking monster quietly floating in the air about dozens of feet away from him.

This monster exudes a terrifying aura that makes people's heart tremble. It is obviously not an ordinary monster.

“It’s actually a divine monster…”

After seeing the true face of the monster in front of him, Matthew couldn't help but groan in his heart, with a helpless smile on his face.

He did not notice the existence of this divine monster while he was flying.

The only possibility is that this monster used some secret invisibility technique to avoid detection.

Otherwise, how could he not see such a huge demon creature floating there?

Matthew had to stop his rapid pace and stare at this powerful monster.

If you only encounter a monster in the Nascent Soul stage, you can easily destroy it in one fell swoop.

However, the enemies they are facing now are even more powerful gods and demons.

The situation suddenly became extremely difficult.

Although he possesses the powerful ability to kill such a terrifying existence in one fell swoop, he is now in this inky black curtain. Once a fierce battle begins, his actions will inevitably attract more monsters lurking around.

After all, his primary goal in venturing deep into this place was not to fight these monsters to the death, but to successfully take Jiro away safely.

Therefore, he really didn't want to create any complications here, so as not to bring himself unexpected troubles and crises.

Unfortunately, Matthew knew nothing about the names within the demon clan, especially the specific names for the angelic demons.

In this situation, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a suitable name to deal with the situation.

Helplessly, he could only float quietly in the air, staring at the hideous and terrifying demon opposite him, but he kept his lips tightly closed and said nothing.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question. Are you mute? Tell me what you want to do here!"

Seeing Matthew standing there like a wooden stake with no reaction, the transformed demon couldn't help but feel a surge of nameless anger in his heart, and he roared at the top of his voice.

Hearing the roar of the divine monster, Matthew frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth with difficulty: "Do it."

When the transformed demon heard Matthew's answer, he instantly became furious, and his already hideous face became even more distorted.

Its pair of eyes, as big as copper bells, stared at Matthew intently, with its eyeballs almost bulging out of its sockets, as if it would spew out flames and burn Matthew to ashes in the next second.

"Hmph! You are just a commander-in-chief, yet you dare to treat me like this! Tell me the truth, what is going on? If you tell me even a lie, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The transformed demon roared angrily and approached Matthew with its fangs and claws bared, emitting a terrifying murderous aura.

However, facing the aggressive attitude of the divine monster, Matthew remained calm and stood firmly in place.

He raised his head, met the fierce gaze of the transformed demon without fear, then shook his head gently and said firmly: "I can't say."

Matthew's three simple, crisp words were like a thunderclap exploding in the ears of the transformed demon.

For a moment, the incarnated monster was stunned. It didn't expect that the strange-looking monster in front of it would dare to reject it so harshly.

Normally, when those monsters see me, they are all respectful.

This is the first time it has encountered someone like Matthew.

It calmed itself down and began to look Matthew up and down carefully.

However, the monster transformed by Matthew looked quite ordinary no matter how you looked at it, and there was nothing unusual about it.

After a moment, the incarnated demon seemed to have thought of something. It narrowed its eyes, and its tone softened a little. It asked again, "Are you Yan Chi's subordinate?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Matthew did not even think about it, but quickly shook his head and denied it without hesitation: "No."

This time, the demon was completely dumbfounded.

It had thought that Matthew would admit it out of fear, or at least show a little hesitation and panic.

But unexpectedly, Matthew not only rejected it outright, but his attitude was surprisingly firm.

In fact, Matthew was clear in his mind. He was not a three-year-old child, so how could he be easily fooled by the other party's words?

What's more, he didn't even know any Yan Chi, so who knew whether the demon creature mentioned Yan Chi was real or fake.

Even if I knew, I would never be stupid enough to admit such a fabricated thing.

From the very beginning, he saw through that the questions from the transformed demon were just deliberate tests.
