It may seem out of place, but Saratoga is actually quite smart.

Look at the change in the atmosphere. Before Saratoga jumped out, the atmosphere was still a little gloomy, as if Shi Xiaolei was going to never come back. But after she jumped out and made trouble, the atmosphere suddenly became joyful.

Much of the dignity and uneasiness I had before have disappeared by 90%.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do whatever you need to do, don't hang around here. What about that, Sister Bei, let's go."

"Yes." Bayonetta nodded in agreement and raised her hand to open the portal.

Waving his hand and leaving the last words, "I'll come back as soon as I go," Shi Xiaolei stepped across the portal. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had gone from the scorching summer Pacific island to the surrounding snow-white foothills.

This is not my first time to Kamal Taj, but it’s not that familiar.

After all, Shi Xiaolei is not like Bayonetta, who comes here every now and then. Since he got acquainted with the mages, he has only been here three or four times in total.

The place is quite large, and it is built according to the mountain topography. It has a very three-dimensional structural layout... Looking around, he found that he still couldn't find the direction as before. Shi Xiaolei could only ask Bayonetta for help.

Eyes: "Sister Bei, which way should we go?"

"Follow me." She tilted her head and motioned for Shi Xiaolei to follow. Bayonetta opened her long legs and walked ahead.

Just looking at the plot of the movie "Doctor Strange", you may think that you can open a portal anywhere. Karma Taj or the Ancient One did not impose any restrictions in this area... In fact, this is not the case. Karma Taj seems to be born indifferently.

Internally, it also has its own set of rules.

For example, what time do you get up to do morning classes every day, when do you eat three meals a day, what time do evening classes at night, etc. These are all explained. In the same way, in order to avoid the scene looking too chaotic, Gu Yi

There are also a few rules set for 'opening the portal'.

Either you have a mission or the situation is urgent, otherwise, you cannot open portals randomly. To put it simply, except for Ancient One, who is the Supreme Mage, he does not need to abide by it. All other mages must act according to the rules.

Bayonetta's words... Although she was a consultant invited back by Ancient One personally, and she also obtained a certain degree of privileges, but because she is not the kind of character who enjoys challenging the rules, so for so long,

, she actually rarely opens the portal directly to places outside the designated range.

Walking in from the 'Mountain Gate', walking up and down for almost a quarter of an hour, the two finally came to a hall and saw Gu Yi, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Master Ancient One."

They are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. Shi Xiaolei raised his hand to say hello and walked forward with a smile. Without Gu Yi saying anything, he sat cross-legged on the soft cushion opposite the table.

"It's just the right time." Gu Yi smiled nonchalantly, raised his hand and picked up the copper kettle from the small stove nearby, picked up a cup with tea leaves, and brewed a cup leisurely.

Tea: "Try this year's new tea."

"Thanks."

"Would you like a drink too?" Turning to look at Bayonetta who had just sat down, Ancient One asked with a smile: "Or..."

"The same thing." Bayonetta smiled: "You know, I like that better."

"Okay." Putting the copper kettle back on the small stove and sitting down, Gu Yi waved his hand gently, but there was no sound. There was a cup in front of Bayonetta, which was also filled with a full cup of black tea.

.

Breathe in, breathe in~.

Breathe in, breathe in~.

Apart from the sound of sipping tea, there was no other sound.

The peaceful and somewhat silent scene lasted for several minutes, until the wind chimes hanging on the eaves emitted a string of clear tones, and the sound of conversation rang out again in the spacious but not deserted hall.

"Are you all ready?" Gu Yi put down the tea cup and looked at Shi Xiaolei with a smile.

"I don't know if it's good or not. Anyway, I've brought everything I have on hand that may come in handy." Showing a confident smile, Shi Xiaolei asked smoothly: "Master, is there anything else you need to tell me? I mean, shortcut,

Tricks, secrets, stuff like that.”

"What works for me may not work for you." Gu Yi shook his head: "Don't think about tips or anything like that. However, there are two props that I can lend you."

"Something is better than nothing. What is it?" Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei showed curious eyes.

Smiling without saying a word, he just raised his hand and opened a portal the size of a volleyball, then stretched his right hand in and pulled it out gently.

"Here." Putting the two small props he took out from the private treasure house on the table, he gently pushed them in front of Shi Xiaolei. Gu Yi began to introduce them to him: "This thing looks like a compass.

It can show you the way. It's very simple to use. You just need to imagine in your mind and outline the appearance of the demon you want to hunt, and it will give you instructions and tell you which direction to go to find that kind of demon."

"Is it so magical?"

"This is a treasure passed down from a dead demon hunter family. It has a history of almost 800 years." Gu Yi smiled: "An antique, of course it is a little different from the popular magic props today. Oh, yes.

Yes, its search radius is relatively limited, about fifty kilometers."

"Because it is an antique, its performance is not very impressive."

"It can be understood that way." Gu Yi smiled and pointed to another prop: "This is 'insurance'. Although with the strength of the two of you, you should not encounter any trouble that cannot be solved, but don't be afraid of ten thousand for everything."

Just in case, bring it with you. When you encounter danger, press the mechanism on it, and it will release a protective shield and transport you back in a package."

Compared with the previous 'compass', the practical value of this second item is indeed a little smaller. After all, Shi Xiaolei has an ark in his hand, and Bayonetta can open the mirror space. Just look at the effect of 'avoiding attacks'.

It can replace this thing given by Gu Yi.

But as Gu Yi said, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. It is better to have an extra insurance than none at all.

"Thank you, Master." Without declining this kindness, Shi Xiaolei thanked him and put away the two props.

"It's getting late, it's time to set off."

"Um."

The three of them stood up one after another, left Changji and came to the open space in the middle of the hall.

Unlike opening a teleportation gate normally, Gu Yi performed a series of tricks with a serious expression. It took him almost two or three minutes to finally summon a teleportation gate that was obviously different.

Through this door, you can see the scenery on the opposite side. It is a color of red and yellow intertwined. Both the overall and local details are completely different from the earth.

.............

"Huh, it tastes okay." After passing through the portal, he stepped on the land of hell and took a breath of air. A slightly disgusted expression appeared on Shi Xiaolei's face.

"Maybe it's a little close to the volcano." Bayonetta raised her right hand and pointed to the back right.

I turned around and took a look. In that direction, about five or six kilometers away in a straight line, there was a volcano with thick smoke and flowing lava.

"I asked why the visibility is so bad. It turns out it's all caused by volcanic ash." Shi Xiaolei grinned and took out two towels from his backpack: "Here."

"what?"

"Aren't you going to cover your nose a little? Aren't you uncomfortable with such a big dust in your nostrils?" Shi Xiaolei shook one of the towels and threw one of the towels to Bayonetta, then used the other one to wrap around his nose and

mouth.

"No need." Bayonetta did not follow suit, but threw the towel back again.

It’s not that she cares too much about her image and wants to keep herself beautiful even if no one is looking, but as a witch, she doesn’t need this thing at all - the nose hairs that are responsible for blocking dust from entering the respiratory tract are still hairs after all.

A kind of. As a witch, what Bayonetta is best at is controlling her hair...

"Okay." Shi Xiaolei pulled off the towel on his head and put it away. He shrugged and began to look up and scan the surrounding terrain.

This time when I came to hell, I had to collect a total of ten kinds of materials, and there were seven or eight kinds of demons that needed to be hunted.

Which one should we start with? Recalling the information he read in the document given by Gu Yi and comparing it with the terrain in front of him, Shi Xiaolei pondered in his mind: 'Well, the kind that looks like a wolf won't be here.

Kind of a place to hang out...'

"Hey, Locke." After being distracted for a moment, Bayonetta standing next to him suddenly interrupted Shi Xiaolei's contemplation.

"What's wrong?"

"Look over there." Pointing to the distance, Bayonetta raised the corners of her mouth slightly and reminded with excitement: "We have a guest."

It's a bit far away, and the sky is full of volcanic ash, which affects the view...

While muttering 'Where is it, where is it?' and staring hard, Shi Xiaolei didn't notice until seven or eight seconds later that there were a few black dots in the sky on the right front flying towards the two of them.

"It's true, we're here for business."

There is no need to think about whether it is the species that you need to hunt... Even if you have no intention of taking action, the other party has already taken the initiative to kill you, so you have to resist.

Besides, it is also necessary to find an opponent to fight with, feel out the demons' strength, and prepare for the subsequent hunting.

With one click of the button, Shi Xiaolei had put on his armor and took out two big axes.

The target is demons, so it is natural to choose equipment against demons. Before coming, Shi Xiaolei had specially selected dozens of pieces of equipment with the attribute of 'xx% damage to demons' from his inventory, and matched them with three sets.

Packages with different focuses.

One set focuses on defense and agility, and is suitable for long-term battles. The other set provides a large bonus to strength and blood volume, and is more suitable for the "pig rushes forward" routine. The set that is now replaced with upper body has four attributes.

The bonuses are similar, and they belong to the type that has no specialties but is more balanced.

I don’t know what type of enemy the opponent is, and the first priority now is to find out. Of course, it is more appropriate to choose a set with relatively average attributes.

"Here." After getting ready, Shi Xiaolei took out two more bottles of purple potion and handed them to Bayonetta.

"No need~." Holding two big guns in her hands, Bayonetta has not only changed her equipment, but also stuffed a lollipop into her mouth to cheer her up: "I have this."

"...Okay, be careful."

When Shi Xiaolei stuffed the two bottles of purple potion into the compartments of his belt, the group of demons flying from the sky also arrived in front of the two of them.

I don't know whether it was a habit engraved in my bones, or whether I thought the looks of Shi Xiaolei and the two were too special, and wanted to scare them preemptively. The demon flying in the front came up with a sharp hiss.

"Ho~~~~~!"

It does have some power, but it also depends on who it is against.

Neither Shi Xiaolei nor Bayonetta were frightened by the harsh neighing sound. Especially Bayonetta, she frowned in disgust...

"It's so noisy." He didn't even bother to show off, he just raised his hand and shot.

Maybe it's because the distance is a bit far, causing the bullet's lethality to drop a bit, or maybe it's because the opponent's health is too thick and it's true that he can't be killed with one shot.

Sister Bei's shot did not result in a kill, it just interrupted the demon's scream.

That's enough.

"I'm going up first." After saying hello, Bayonetta tapped her foot lightly and jumped into the air.

The next second, like making popcorn in a microwave, a series of gunshots sounded like popping beans.

With just one breath, several demons fell from the sky. Some screamed and struggled to get up, while some had lost their vitality and turned motionless into corpses.

"Tsk~." Half of them complained that Sister Bei was too anxious, and half of them felt that these demons were incompetent.

With a slight tsk, Shi Xiaolei also slightly bent his knees, and made a big leap towards the other demons that landed on the ground, seemingly wanting to engage in close combat.

Speaking of which, these demons actually hold weapons in their hands... Although the shapes are extremely crude, either like stalagmites or wooden sticks, judging from their postures, those things are indeed used as weapons by them.

use.

Look at the ones still flying in the sky. One by one, they are all empty-handed.

'Because you have a weapon in your hand, you took the initiative to land on the ground?' In a flash of thought, he had already rushed in front of a demon. Shi Xiaolei quickly put away his distracting thoughts, and following the inertia of the fall, he raised his right hand to open the axe, and went towards

The enemy was chopped on the head.

"Ho~~~"

The neighing sound had just started, and the ax had already fallen on the demon's head.

With a soft click, the seemingly solid cuticle split into two halves, and the skull hidden underneath was chopped open by Shi Xiaolei with an axe.

Black blood gushed out as if it was free of money. The four eyes on the devil's face were filled with confusion and confusion, as if protesting, 'You don't follow the rules.'

Then, with a hiccup, the demon fell down softly, completely losing its life.
