Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Zhao Hao shook his head. "This should be it. That beast must have used some method to cover it up."

Zhao Hao's barrier is now at level 4, and he vaguely senses that the space here is a bit strange.

Moreover, the Eye of Fate provided even more direct feedback: "This stone wall is concealed by arcane arts and extraordinary artifacts, hiding a mysterious space..."

This is a bit tricky. It's like in Journey to the West, when Sun Wukong was looking for the deer that was actually the God of Longevity disguised as the King's father-in-law in the Kingdom of Biqu. You know he's hiding in a big tree, but you need a special way to get in.

If it weren't for the local earth god knowing and telling him to turn left three times and right three times, he would never have found the fake place.

It's like the Unwavering Faithful Charm in the Harry Potter series... You can't touch it even if it's right in front of you; certain conditions have to be met.

The three returned and discussed the matter with Carrie the Witch and Wally. They concluded that the goat-man was not even at the level of Iron 5, and even with some extraordinary artifact, he couldn't possibly create an impenetrable small space. Even Bronze level cultivators would find it difficult to do.

Therefore, there must be a flaw!

The three searched outside the stone wall for a day and a night, but found nothing.

Finally, Zhao Hao got angry and yelled, "Damn it! Use force! Tear it down!"

He began to continuously enlighten the stone miners, making them carve into the mountain walls, while sending out small, soft creatures to attach to the mountain walls and erode and digest them with strong acid, starting to eat them!

Therefore, one force can overcome ten techniques.

The three of them searched for a long time but couldn't find that damn flaw, but forcing it actually worked.

It took them three hours to wear down four meters of rock, several hundred cubic meters thick, before they finally found the entrance to the hidden space.

It was a doorway embedded in the rock, like a European-style gate, and inside was the goat-man's hideout.

Zhao Hao smashed the door open with a single Vajra Fist, revealing a garden inside.

Damn it, how much trouble did I go through to find you? I'm so angry!

Normally, special materials are needed, such as splashing black dog blood, and then reciting the correct incantation to open the stone wall.

However, Zhao Hao directly fed all the stone walls to Xiao Ruan.

Xiaoruan said she doesn't want to eat dirt for another month; she's too tired of it.

The gate was broken down, and the goat-men inside immediately noticed, quickly pulling up their pants, grabbing their weapons, and rushing out.

In front of him were Zhao Hao and the fat man, as well as Xiao Ruan, whose face had turned gray, whose movements were slow and stiff, and whose two small green bean eyes were glazed over.

Meanwhile, Nanaya Saki and Tachibana had already concealed themselves and, while Zhao Hao and the other man were distracting the goat-man, quietly slipped into that space.

The goat-man was short and ugly, with a lewd expression and a goat beard, but he exuded a strange smell.

Zhao Hao and the fat man were already prepared. Zhao Hao was wearing a mask sprinkled with the potion given to him by the witch Carrie. The fat man had two small pills stuffed into his nose.

Zhao Hao used his demon-hunting senses to observe the goat-man and saw two horns curving backward into semicircles on his forehead, thick horizontal lines in his pupils, a layer of fine red scales on his skin, and a large scythe emitting red psionic energy in his hand.

Zhao Hao was certain that this goat-man had indeed sided with Hell, and had become deeply corrupted, transforming into a Hellish goat-man.

Zhao Hao shouted, "We are agents of the Mysterious Bureau. Your affair has been exposed. Come with us! Otherwise, we'll take action..."

He was buying time for Nanaya Saki; only after they had ascertained the situation of the imprisoned women could they launch a full-scale attack.

Chapter 168 Hell Summoning Array

“Listen!” the sheep said. “I don’t want trouble, and I don’t want to kill you. Get out of here while there’s still time.”

To be honest, his voice is deep and resonant, quite charming. It's a pity that it clashes with his appearance.

"So? Mr. Sheepman..." Zhao Hao slowly straightened his sleeves, took out his Mysterious Bureau ID, and pinned it to his chest.

"Where did you take those women? To hell?"

"I told you, you'd better not meddle in other people's business!" The goat-man got angry, his face turned red, and his scythe turned fiery red as he pointed it at Zhao Hao and the fat man.

"Get out of here!"

Seeing that the goat-man still hadn't made a move, Zhao Hao was happy to stall for time. He waved his hand and said, "Don't get agitated, we don't want to fight either. We just want to ask you, what exactly did you do to those women? Oh, by the way, could you give us the specific numbers?"

The goat-man glared and stomped his feet, cursing, but still didn't make a move.

My friends say that people born in the Year of the Sheep are generally timid and follow their hearts, preferring to use cunning and trickery rather than confront things head-on, which seems to make some sense.

Just when Fatty was getting impatient and Little Soft was about to turn into stone, Zhao Hao finally received a signal from Nanaya Saki.

The triangular talisman in his hand began to heat up, which meant that Nanaya Saki had already dealt with the female victim. If the talisman suddenly caught fire, it would mean that they had been ambushed and there might be other accomplices.

Having achieved his goal, Zhao Hao gave the fat man a wink, then suddenly shouted and charged forward.

The goat-man trembled at Zhao Hao's loud voice, and swung his large scythe down fiercely. A cold light formed a fiery red crescent moon in the air, but the next second the scythe struck a barrier, sparks flying everywhere.

With a crisp clang, the giant scythe was unable to penetrate Zhao Hao's barrier.

Taking advantage of this moment, the fat man pulled out his Mauser pistol and fired four shots.

Zhao Hao drew attention while the fat man sniped from behind; the tactic worked. However, the Hellfire Goat-Man wasn't without resources either; a hexagonal prism-like energy barrier immediately appeared around him.

The fat man's four shots caused the psionic barrier to tremble, but the psionic bullets did not penetrate the barrier and could only fall to the ground.

The goat-man was startled, never expecting that these two people from the Mysterious Bureau would resort to such underhanded tactics.

Goat Man: I only knew that a despicable and shameless goat man like me liked to ambush, but I didn't expect that you officials with thick eyebrows and big eyes would also resort to underhanded tactics!

He roared, and his fur turned red, red scales appeared on his body, his eyes turned golden like leaping flames, and his teeth sharpened. Crimson spiritual energy surged and raged around him like flames. This was Hellfire Transformation!

He abandoned Zhao Hao, who was standing in front of him with a barrier, and instead turned around to find the fat man shooting at him from behind.

With a swing of his large scythe, a crescent-shaped blade of fire shot out. It was incredibly fast; the fat man could only dodge it with a lunge. The fire blade struck the ground, instantly leaving a deep scorch mark.

"Your Majesty Asmodeus, grant me power, open your gates for me!"

That goat-man's tongue is quite eloquent; he truly has a silver tongue!

In less than two seconds, he could utter dozens of notes, and then the scythe formed a perfectly regular circle around him, from which red spiritual energy surged forth.

Then the ground where the circle was located began to crumble and collapse, flames appeared, sulfurous steam spewed out, and eerie roars came from inside, as if they led straight to hell!

First, a group of small monsters, about thirty centimeters tall, with two wrinkled, narrow bat wings, flew out in a flurry of chattering. Then, more than a dozen monsters covered in scales, resembling dogs, rushed out. Finally, two tall, powerful monsters with red skin, sharp horns on their heads, and bone spurs on their joints crawled out of the circle.

Zhao Hao never expected that this cowardly goat-man would actually unleash a powerful summoning attack right from the start!

Even though we're in the inner world now, it's definitely not easy to hold up such a hellish summoning circle!

At this point, even the dwarf Wally, who hadn't originally planned to intervene, became anxious as he remained at a distance to observe.

"Damn it! Stone's grandma won't bloom! What's going on? How could that slutty sheep summon so many hellish monsters?"

The next moment, he suddenly seemed to realize something, "Could it be that the Purgatory Bloodline of this Purgatory Goatman is extraordinary?!"

To transform from a goat-man into a purgatory goat-man, one must change their bloodline. Either they originally possessed the purgatory bloodline, or it was injected and transformed later.

Therefore, the level of bloodline becomes very important. If it's only the blood of a Black Iron-level Hellish monster, there's not much room for development.

However, this goat-man clearly obtained the blood of a mid-to-high-ranking demon under Asmodeus's command!

"Oh no! Go help!"

The guy wiped the bronze badge on his chest, and a cool off-road motorcycle appeared beside him. He pressed another button, and the motorcycle's side suddenly expanded, revealing a large sidecar.

But before he could even get Carrie, the witch, into the car, the battle situation changed again.

"Go, little softie! Use the rolling crushing technique!"

Zhao Hao pointed, and the small, rock-colored creature, which had turned grayish-black, suddenly swelled into a huge sphere with a diameter of more than three meters, and then rushed over with a gurgling sound.

Its current texture is surprisingly hard and heavy, similar to rock!

This is a change that occurred because it ate too many rocks. It's not stable yet, but Zhao Hao has already started using it.

The little soft thing rolled over like a bowling ball, crushing five or six hellhounds that couldn't dodge in time, and knocking a hell demon flying away, spitting blood. Then it veered off course, rolled down the hillside, and disappeared into the distance...

Little Softie: I can't control myself... Goodbye, Master, I'm going on a long voyage now~

That was enough. Zhao Hao had already summoned the mud golem. The huge mud golem emerged from the rocks beneath his feet, and its massive arm slammed into the ground, instantly transforming into a giant rock hammer, which then faced off against another hellish demon.

Meanwhile, dozens or even hundreds of small bat demons swooped down from the sky. Their wings were edged with bone spikes, their four sharp claws were venomous, and their jagged fangs were not to be underestimated.

What's even more terrifying is their incredible speed; a hundred of them can sweep past like a black gust of wind and devour a whole herd of cattle.

Zhao Hao heard a series of crackling and scraping sounds. The little bat demons were blocked by the barrier and couldn't be shaken. Some even crashed to their deaths and fell to the ground. After they died, they turned into a wisp of black smoke in the next second.

This thing is a summoned projection of hell, not the real thing. Even if it isn't killed, it won't last long. You could say that every minute it lasts, it can drain a purgatory goat-man dry.

The reason why the purgatory goat-man was able to withstand such a huge drain and make such a big commotion was not only because of his "noble" bloodline, but also because of a bead in his hand.

That pink bead contained the power of lust he had collected! Just like the psionic bead, he used it like a battery.

Zhao Hao stood in front, ignoring the little bat demons, because each of their attacks was weak, relying on sheer numbers to accumulate strength, but they couldn't break through the barrier at all.

But Zhao Hao was worried about Fatty; these things were like flying piranhas, which were far too dangerous.

But this kind of scene doesn't scare Fatty, who's been around the block for so many years.

He first pulled out a small triangular flag, waved it in his hand, and it flew to the top of his head and spun rapidly, instantly blocking the little bat demon that was pouncing on him.

Then the fat man picked up the yellow gourd from his waist, puffed out his cheeks, and took a big gulp. He then raised his hand and punched himself in the nose three times, holding back at all, until his nose was red.

The next second, Fatty suddenly breathed out a fire dragon!

The fire dragon's front part was in the shape of a dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it transformed the small bat into a ball of fire in the air; the back part was a pillar of fire, connected to the fat man's mouth.

The fat man twisted his head and swept it around in the air several times. Although the fire dragon only existed for a dozen seconds, it basically burned all the little bat demons to ashes.

The goat-man never expected that his direct revelation would be countered.

Although there are still a dozen or so small bat demons, less than ten hellhounds, and one hell demon, he is afraid.

He looked distressed, then slammed the pink beads in his hand to the ground, causing a cloud of pink smoke to spread out. He then turned and ran away.

This cloud of smoke is extraordinary; it's the spiritual residue formed from countless acts of lust. Even someone like Brother Lao Ge or Uncle Tie, a bronze-level expert, wouldn't dare inhale it, let alone Zhao Hao and his two black iron-level opponents. Otherwise, they'd instantly become lecherous old men!

After destroying the treasure and covering their retreat, the goat-man turned to run back to his own little space.

There are other arrangements in their "home," and at the very least, they can escape from here.

Then, in the instant he turned around, Zhao Hao pulled out his little cricket...
