Chapter 526: Understanding the Situation

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The female archer who led the team reacted extremely quickly, and while shouting a warning, she just flicked the bowstring, and the magic power automatically condensed into an arrow glowing with orange fire, and it shot straight at the strange sword in Wang Zong's hand that suddenly came to life like lightning.

She is already an elite-level fire archer herself, even if she doesn't use real arrows, she can be lethal with only magic power condensed into arrows, and the enchanted longbow in her hand is also specially attached to "enhanced flame damage" and "burst flame splash", after hitting the target, it will attach a flame burst effect, so even if you destroy the sword in Wang Zong's hand in time, the fragments will inevitably hurt Wang Zong, but at the moment, it is important to save people, and it seems that there is no other choice.

Next, the female archer realized that she had once again looked away from seeing her eyes as she had done the last time she tried to prevent the Blood King from coming.

The sword that came to life seemed to be bound by some invisible force, and I saw that the blade of the sword was twisting and shaking violently, but it was always held firmly by Wang Zong, and it couldn't turn the sky at all. As for the magic arrow she shot in a hurry, it was also frozen in the air by a mysterious force, not only did it not explode, but the orange-red fire quickly faded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Is it a magic-absorbing magic shield and a imprisoned magic force field?, this man is a mage?...... Or is it a magical assassin?" the female archer put away her longbow a little stupidly, it was the first time she had encountered magic fluctuations so subtle that even after being attacked, there was no protective magic to speak of, so that she had repeatedly misjudged the well-informed.

Generally speaking, mages can make their magic more stealthy at the cost of increasing the difficulty of casting spells and decreasing their power, but this does not mean much to orthodox mages. Instead, it was the magical assassins who considered it. However, it is well known that Assassins never give themselves any protective magic, because even the most subtle protective magic will increase the likelihood of being revealed, and the most important thing for an Assassin to make sure that he does not reveal his whereabouts lightly.

After a couple of triple blows. The female archer had secretly vowed never to try again to judge the profession of this group of black-eyed mysterious visitors from the East.

Wang Zong just nodded at her in a gentle and polite tone and asked, "May I ask what is going on with this sword?"

"It's a demonic trap, and we're generally calling it a 'flying scimitar', although it's also a different type of weapon. The female archer explained: "When subjected to very strong death wounds, the dead soul occasionally attaches itself to some death-related object, most often the weapon used by the deceased during his lifetime or the weapon with which he was killed. And when these weapons are tainted by demonic power, they will briefly take on life, carrying out the last thought they had when they were used - to destroy their opponents!"

"Let inanimate objects come to life?" Wang Zong muttered to himself as he watched his hand gradually transform from a desperate struggle to a dying and spasmodic sword.

"'Living objects' is a curse possessed by many demons, although this life is often short-lived. But it can be used to create some deadly traps. Many adventurers are trying to open a chest of unknown origin. It turned out to be swallowed by the fanged box. Some large dead wood and stone statues may also come to life for this reason and become pawns of demons. Besides. Necromancers have similar abilities. "The female archer is now psychologically balanced, and although the other party has many mysterious elements in her body that she does not know, she has common sense that many adventurers know. The other party also appeared to be as ignorant as a hillbilly, which fully proved that the other party was indeed an exotic visitor from the far east.

"This information is very important, leave this sword to me to study. Chu Xuan pushed his flat glasses against the long sword, and a string of strings of jù began to disappear on the glasses.

"It doesn't seem to work...... Wang Zong shook his head, and as he spoke, the long sword had stopped "spasming", and the faint blue magic light emitted from the blade also dimmed. Then the sword began to crumble inch by inch, and the fragments that fell to the ground quickly melted, turning into a pile of silvery gray and reddish-brown filthy slime in an instant. An extremely unpleasant smell dissipated, a smell resembling a mixture of molten iron mixed with sulfur and strong acid.

"It's a pity......" Chu Xuan first expressed regret coldly. Then he said: "From the spectral analysis just now, it can be seen that although the material of this sword is still metal, it is no longer an ordinary solid metal inorganic, but a certain kind of semi-fluid with a very disordered material arrangement structure. Perhaps it is this weird structure that subverts the laws of nature that brings this sword to life, but it is also a very unstable structure, so the 'lifespan' of this sword is very short. ”

"It's 'chaos' indeed," Wang Zong nodded affirmatively, "not only the confusion of the energy category, but also the confusion of matter and law, thus confusing the boundary between life and death, and subverting the natural law that 'inanimate objects do not move'." ”

"Well, will the armor and weapons on a person's body be brought to life to attack themselves in battle?" said Rogandao's face changed slightly.

"This is impossible!" said a strong man with a big shoulder and a round waist who came with a female archer, and just as the crowd looked at him to hear what he had to say, he slapped the thick hammer on his waist and said categorically: "I fully trust my weapon, and my weapon will never betray me!"

This kind of completely disobedient reply naturally lacks much convincing, but the female archer gave a better explanation: "Enchanted equipment has a certain amount of magic resistance, and it is not so easy to be activated and controlled by demons, if the demons are really strong enough to that extent, you can use other more effortless and direct ways to kill adventurers." Therefore, 'animated objects' can basically only be used to make traps and temporary puppets. ”

After getting the answer, the Zhongzhou team and others did not continue the topic. However, this important piece of information still reveals the problems that high-tech weapons can encounter in the dark world - after all, ordinary high-tech weapons have no magic resistance to speak of. In addition to this, it is likely that there are other constraints that hinder it, so before thoroughly figuring it out. You can't rush into action.

At the same time, after some exchanges, the Zhongzhou team and the others roughly figured out the shape they were currently facing and the identity of the small group of adventurers in front of them.

This is a vast land called Canduras, where the former ruler, King Leoric, together with Archbishop Lazarus, came many years ago with a group of knights and priests to form the "Order of Light" in the name of Sakaram, the Sanctuary of Light, and proclaimed himself king. and appropriated an old and dilapidated monastery on the outskirts of Tristram as its palace and rebuilt it (Sakaram can be regarded as the Holy See in the Middle Ages, with the right to canonize royalty, and King Leorik was similar to the kings of medieval Europe, and there were many small principalities and knightly lords under his rule who were only nominally subordinate to him, and did not have the supreme authority of centralized power).

King Leorik initially won the respect and affection of the locals for his fair and tolerant style. Unfortunately, it was not long before an evil force that had been sleeping in the dark depths of the monastery began to affect King Leorik's mind, causing him to become brutal and irritable, and to declare war against the Northern Empire Westmar in a very irrational manner. This hasty war rightfully ended with the retreat of Canduras' army and the horrific massacre.

While the leader of the Knights of the Discipline of Light, Razidaran, who was loyal to King Leorric, did his best to gather the remnants of his army and retreat back to the country, King Leoric was now in deep pain and madness, and had gone on a killing spree in the country due to the mysterious disappearance of his son, killing countless innocent people. And when Razidaran tried to dissuade. However, King Leorik believed that he was involved in the plot to kidnap his son. He is to be put to death for treason, along with all the remnants of the army. Realizing that his king was incorrigible, Razidalan finally raised his sword in grief and pierced King Leorric's heart. The once-honorable king let out a terrifying near-death scream. He curses all those who betray him and begins to summon the forces of darkness. The once sacred monastery began to fall, and an eerie light came through the gloomy windows of the Grand Monastery. Creepy muffles and screams of terror emanated from deep underground, and countless misshapen monsters began to haunt the shadows of the church, plunging the entire population of Canduras into a deep nightmare...... During this period, the Archbishop Lazarus, who had completely degenerated and corrupted, also succeeded in luring a large number of villagers into the monastery and trapping them in a dark dungeon full of demons, dying in deep despair and fear, as a sacrifice to the demons.

Hearing the news, the adventurers began to gather in nearby towns and enter the monastery one by one, but all of them did not return, only increasing the power of the evil army. It wasn't until a master adventurer named Ed went underground with two fellow mages and archers of the same strength group that King Leorik was eradicated as Skeletron.

Ed rose to the rank of legend in that battle. He became the envy of countless adventurers, but after that, he became more and more dark and withdrawn, and quietly set off for the East more than two months ago. Soon after he was gone, thousands of demon resistance began to pour out of the ground, attacking the town, burning a qiē to the ground. Humanity is no longer the master of a land ravaged by war and curse, and in fact, with the exception of well-defended castles and camps, the bloodstained wilderness has now become a paradise for monsters and the undead.

Of the last remaining camps against demons, Camp Rogue, established by the Sisters of the Blind, is the most powerful mainstay. Its leader, Akara, the kingdom's most powerful Legendary-level blind nun, gains some vague perception of the past, future, and unknown changes after losing her sight during a special ritual in Tongguò. It was this prophetic sense that led her to leave the fallen convent with a group of nuns and archers of the Blind Sisters in advance, form the Rog camp, and do her best to gather the remnants of the land's human force.

The female archer who leads the team is named Fravey, an elite archer in Rog's camp, and the team also includes four other Rog female archers, plus barbarian warriors Reno, Haucks and female druids to form a scout team, mainly responsible for exploring the movements of monsters, depicting a map of monster distribution, and trying to rescue and gather lone adventurers and surviving humans to prepare for future counterattacks. The Sisters of the Blind Sisters' archers all have the "Eyes of the Heart" ability after reaching the elite level, which is one level higher than that of the "Prophet", which can be used in battle and to see dangers during expeditions. This ability is one of the fundamental guarantees for their survival in the wilderness where monsters are endless. In addition, the female druids on their team have a keen sense of smell and wild perception are also very important, which makes them almost impossible to fall into the encirclement. On the contrary, he has made many gains and cleaned up a lot of lone monsters. Of course, this qiē pales in comparison to the feat of the Nakatsu team and others when they first arrived.

"Are you sure you're only bringing seven people with you?" Qin Yuyu suddenly asked meaningfully, his eyes looking at a dead tree not far away, intentionally or unintentionally.

Flavi's complexion changed slightly. But in a blink of an eye, he calmed down and said casually: "I'm sorry, even we often ignore Anya's existence zài, so we almost forgot to introduce it." ”

At the same time, a diminutive figure suddenly appeared in the shadows on the side of the dead tree, and the whole person seemed to be wearing a black gauze cloak that looked blurred, and even his face and clothes could not be seen clearly. I saw that the person just nodded slightly to everyone, and then retreated into the shadows and disappeared out of thin air, without a trace.

Fravey went on to explain: "At any time, under any circumstances. A qualified Assassin should try to keep himself as hidden as possible. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"It's normal. This is completely understandable. We'd do the same if we did, but I just want you to be as open and honest as possible and avoid injuring your own people in some situations. Qin Yuyu showed a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze. He nodded slightly. It's human nature to be wary of strangers, and she won't be too serious with them. It's like Wang Zong must have been an assassin earlier than her, but he didn't even bother to say anything.

However, the druid girl Wen Qi seemed to be relatively simple-minded, and she didn't notice the vigilance of both parties, but just expressed her amazement and envy bluntly: "Sister is so powerful, even if my 'wild perception' often can't grasp Sister Anya's storage, is this some kind of detection magic that hides magic fluctuations?"

The female druid is quite tall, with a toned keto body without a trace of fat, and her smooth muscle lines are full of the strength of a leopard's legs. However, he doesn't look very old, estimated to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although her whole body is covered with beast and plant totems, it is not as decadent and stubborn as some tattoo non-mainstream, but has a unique frank, clear and wild texture, and her eyes reveal an innocent curiosity similar to reindeer eyes, but there is no lack of wildness.

"Hehe, it's not so much magic or ability, it's more of a state, a philosophical idea, and people in our hometown generally call it 'the unity of heaven and man'......"

"Isn't this the philosophy of our druids, sister, that you are also a druid?"

In a certain way, there are indeed similarities between the unity of heaven and man in China and the concept of the druid, and in this way, Qin Weiyu grasps a breakthrough point for mutual communication and understanding between the two sides, and at the same time seeks opportunities to learn from the other party what his team may use.

On the other side, Flawy, who was the leader of the team, also began to warn the Middle-earth team and the others: "Although I know that you are very strong, you may encounter unexpected dangers at any time when wandering in the wilderness, even if each of you has the strength of the master level, the tide of countless monsters is still enough to drown you." In this cursed land, the only one who can provide you with security at the moment is Camp Rog......"

Although he hadn't completely let down his guard against the Middle-earth team and others, Fravey had a good understanding of their powerful and mysterious powers, and took advantage of the situation to make an offer. After all, in a situation where humanity is in a weak position, the more strength that can be gathered is more likely to turn the situation around.

Going to the Luoge camp was originally a task requirement of the main god, Zheng Zhe naturally had no opinion on this, and was about to agree, but he heard Chu Xuan suddenly ask: "It sounds like your Luoge camp is only barely able to protect itself at present." If you can't defeat the monster, the difference is just early and late. Don't you have any effective countermeasures?"

"At present, our strength is insufficient, we can only protect ourselves, but it does not mean that this will be the case in the future!" Fravey retorted with a sullen face, "Now every day there are adventurers who either pass through the Guò teleportation array, or trek on foot to support us, and the Northern Empire Westmar will definitely not sit idly by and watch this land completely become a hellish territory, this Westmar Holy Knights, the most powerful of the Big 6, will definitely come to the rescue in the near future and crush all the evil monsters to pieces!"

In fact, in the dark game, the chivalrous paladin is from the Westmar Paladin, compared to the straggler adventurer. The Formed Paladins are the backbone of humanity's fight against the demons of hell. It is worth mentioning that the Westmar Holy Knights are not registered as part of the Sanctuary of Light, Sakaram. Hundreds of years ago, they broke away from Sakaram because they disagreed with the overly fanatical and bloody methods used by them to purge the "unbelievers". Go to the Westmar region and establish a state. King Leoric, who remained loyal to Sacalam, recently waged a war against the Westmar Empire, somewhat similar to the fundamentalist conquest of the Protestants. It is precisely because of the division and cannibalism of the forces of light that the evil forces have an opportunity to take advantage of.

Although Flavi was still full of confidence that the light would triumph over the darkness, the Middle-earth team and others did not see joy when they heard this, but had a sense of cheating on the sudden realization.

"In that case...... Chu Xuan continued to ask quietly, "So have you ever considered leaving this land, at least escorting ordinary civilians who have no combat effectiveness to leave?"

Fravey shook his head, "It can't be done, now this half-fallen land can only enter and not get out......"

According to Flavi's interpretation, "fall" refers to a certain area of the human world being drawn into hell by the erosion of the forces of the lower realm. The process of becoming part of hell. There are two basic conditions that need to be met in this process: first, the power of hell is strong enough, and second, the creatures of this land have been completely corrupted and degenerate.

Lord-level monsters have their own territory in Hell. After obtaining enough sacrifices, you can project your territory into the human world. Now this "blood wasteland" in front of us is actually formed by the overlap of hell scenes and the human world. Besides. There are also "Evil Caves", "Icy Plains", "Buried Bones", "Dark Forest" and other hellish projections, almost every projection means that a helllord has descended to earth. With the combined efforts of multiple Hell Lords and a certain Hell Demon King dominating it, it is possible to forcibly tear a certain territory from the human realm and pull it towards Hell. And because of this vacant area, there is an imbalance of strictness. There will definitely be a series of disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis in the surrounding area, and even the surface of the Big 6 will be deformed.

In this process, due to the "tearing" and "sinking" caused by the movement of space to the lower boundary, a chaotic space storm full of negative energy will begin to envelop the edge of this area, and then form a semi-closed state isolated from the outside world. At this time, adventurers with a certain strength can still enter this area, but people inside the area will not be able to get out no matter what, whether on foot or by flying, teleporting or other means. This situation is a bit like falling into a deep pit on flat ground, so it is easy to jump into the pit, but it is difficult to climb out of the pit.

However, the whole process of "falling" will take at least months or even years, and the resistance of the living beings of this land will further prolong the process. In addition, the other human forces and adventurers who are surrounded by the pond fish will definitely fight to the death to save them, so in most cases, there is no possibility of success. After all, this land is not an unknown barren corner, but a prosperous group with a radius of thousands of miles, located in the West's Big 6 trade center. As long as you hold on, the adventurers who come from all over the world in the future will be enough to drown the hellish monsters.

After learning about the future "Great Good Shape shì", Chu Xuan immediately "happily" expressed his willingness to join the Luo Ge camp. Both sides began to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the road.

Since Zheng Zha had killed six or seven hundred Sinking Demons at one time, there were now hundreds of loot scattered all over the ground, including knives, guns, swords, axes, armor, leather boots, gloves, and even rings, among which there were also a lot of gold coins, all of which depended on the Sinking Demon's good appetite for not swallowing anything. In addition, there are seven gemstones with a brilliant red color.

According to adventurers, after the monster is killed, its magic essence has a certain probability of condensing into various magic gems, and the attributes of the gems depend on the attributes of the monster before its death, for example, the sinking demon is a fire attribute monster, so the condensed is generally ruby. Rubies are inlaid on weapons and armor to bless, enhance fire damage, and defend against fire damage, for example, the longbow currently used by female archers is inlaid with a ruby. Gems are divided into five levels: "broken", "cracked", "ordinary", "flawless", and "perfect", and the sinking demons in front of you are all low-level monsters after all, so six of the seven gems are only "broken", and one is "cracked".

Due to the previous accident, the Middle-earth team and the others paid a lot of attention when collecting the loot in the future, in fact, they hoped to have a few more "flying scimitars" for research, but unfortunately they did not encounter another one. However, these collected enchanted weapons are basically eroded by the demon's gastric juice, and the magic patterns engraved on the surface cannot be seen clearly, so they must wait until they return to the camp to find an alchemist to identify and repair them before they can be used.

It's also worth mentioning that the Hell Monsters don't all run naked, and many of the high-level monsters have their own equipment, just like the Sinking Mage has his own staff. The Blood King's equipment is also high-grade, his armor, battle axes, and flails are mixed with pure gold, of which the flail is also attached to the "crushing strike" effect, and the battle axe is also attached to the double curse of "tearing wounds" and "preventing self-healing", but the battle axe and the tiger spirit are hard and a small part of the collapse still needs to be repaired. These two weapons, the two barbarians in the adventurer's team, Renault and Hauckes, are quite eye-catching, but unfortunately their strength is not yet available, at least they must be elite-level power barbarians to use them freely.

Although in the propaganda, the hell monsters are a group of monsters that only know how to destroy, and they are unreasonable. But in fact, Hell also has craftsmen who can make weapons, magical equipment, traps, and even more technology than humans. After all, long before the birth of human beings, Hell and Heaven had already experienced tens of thousands of years of repeated battles and battles, and they had already exhibited their own sets of advanced military crafts. Most of the magic and alchemy of humans today are still learned from Hell, and many weapons were originally produced by Hell.

Because of the many benefits that can be gained from killing monsters, there are often many human adventurers who gather like vultures with rotting corpses wherever they are found. This is often not only for survival and justice, but also for profit, and it is in this peculiar way that human civilization continues to grow in the struggle against hell.

Before hitting the road, the Zhongzhou team gave a "broken" grade ruby and two percent of the equipment to the scout team as a thank you gift for their "help" and leading the way, which really added a lot of favor to the other party.

And sure enough, as Chu Xuan expected, these adventurers all had space equipment made of demons' stomach pouches as the main material, although the storage space of these space equipment was very limited, only close to half a cubic meter, but it was enough for each of them to carry the supplies that could only be loaded by a cart to go deep behind enemy lines, and collect all kinds of useful materials and equipment from the monsters they killed.
