21. Discussion and retreat (end)
Not noticing the seriousness in Zhang Longqian's eyes when he said this, Nangong Piao just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not good to say." He's too strong to judge, but there's no doubt that he's a high-level monster of unknown rank. ”
After getting this vague division of Gyuye, Zhang Longqian frowned slightly. After all, no matter how strong Kono is, he can't ignore the fact that his subordinates are weaker than those in the demon world, which makes her a little worried: "Kono, who belongs to the high-level youkai and the subordinates who are generally low-level youkai, compared to the demon world youkai who should be all medium-level youkai, which side do you think is stronger in combat power?" ”
Nangong Piao and Bai Lu, who hadn't thought about this question, immediately pondered, but Zhou Miao lifted his glasses and replied with his mouth open: "If you don't consider the rank, the gap between low-level monsters and medium-level monsters is almost one to ten, and the gap between medium-level monsters and high-level monsters is one to twenty. But at least Kono is also a high-level monster of the thousand-year-old Dao, and the level difference will be even more, although it can't be said that one enemy is a hundred in the face of a medium-sized monster, but it is definitely no problem to fight fifty with one. According to what Kono said, Zhongkun has almost three thousand youkai, even if they are all low-level youkai, if you combine them with him, you can be considered evenly matched with the four hundred medium-sized youkai in the demon world. ”
Receiving such an answer, Zhang Longqian's brows furrowed even deeper.
If it's just evenly matched, it's very likely that the side of Kono will be restrained by those monsters in the demon world, and in the end, it is likely that they will not be able to stop them before the spatial passage is stabilized, resulting in the appearance of a thousand monsters in the demon world.
After guessing what Zhang Longqian was thinking at just a glance, Zhou Miao spoke calmly again: "But don't forget, there is also your intelligence support here, which is something that those monsters in the demon world don't have." You don't need me to remind you of the advantages that leading intelligence can cause, right? ”
These words made Zhang Longqian's eyes widen slightly, and then she realized that she seemed to be a little worried and couldn't see the problem clearly, and under Zhou Miao's deliberate reminder, she couldn't help but smile lightly.
"That's right. It's useless to think about it now, it's better for us to play our part and gather information. After a pause, she added, "At the same time, you have to prepare for the end." ”
This time it was Bai Lu and Nangong Piao's turn to understand: "At the end?" What ends? ”
After looking at Zhou Miao and Cang Yan next week, seeing that the two of them were not the slightest surprised, obviously having already considered this problem, Zhang Longqian explained to Bai Lu and Nangong Piao, who were puzzled: "Although it seems to be reliable, but they are monsters after all, once they win, no one knows if they will simply control Zhong Kun completely if the barrier cannot be broken." ”
Hearing Zhang Longqian say this, Nangong Piao and Bai Lu realized that it was indeed very possible.
The existence of a barrier meant that the Dao Law Realm could not interfere with anything with Zhong Kun, this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it was not impossible for them to take advantage of this to completely bring Zhong Kun under their control.
It's not that Zhang Longqian and they spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but to put it bluntly, people's hearts are still separated from their bellies, not to mention the monsters who are of different races and have been on the opposite side of humans for thousands of years?
"What then?"
Zhang Longqian immediately expressed his considerations: "To find a way to deal with that barrier, it is best to let the people of the Dao Law Realm come in before the conflict between the field and the demon realm is over." ”
It's easy to say, but how can it be so easy to break down the barrier?
Thinking of the results obtained from the previous investigation of the barrier, Bai Lu said: "But Xiao Miao also said that we alone can't break it!" ”
"That's the result of taking into account the youkai guarding the barrier." Zhou Miao said flatly, "Now that there is a containment on the side of the wilderness, we can eliminate the interference of the monsters, although we still can't break it within three days, but if we just weaken the barrier, and then let those people from the Dao Law Realm outside break it, there is still no problem." ”
The affirmative words not only cheered Bai Lu and Nangong Piao, but Zhang Longqian's heart was also a little more steady. Just as Bai Lu had an inexplicable sense of trust in her, she also had an unreasonable trust in Zhou Miao, so she didn't have the slightest suspicion, and immediately asked, "What can I do to weaken the barrier?" ”
"The barrier is a branch of the magic circle, and it also relies on the 'foundation' to exist, as long as it finds its 'foundation' and destroys most of it, it is enough for the barrier to weaken."
As soon as Zhou Miao's affirmative voice sounded, what several people needed to do was decided.
On the one hand, they will improve the information on the demon world, find out all their hiding places, as well as the location of the spatial passages, and let the Kono side be responsible for solving them, and on the other hand, they will secretly find the "foundation" of the barrier and destroy it.
As soon as the things to be decided were made, Zhang Longqian immediately considered the division of labor, and after a deep sigh, she said: "After all, I don't understand the barrier matter, and the search for the 'foundation' is really left to Xiao Miao to you, Xiaoxue also followed, it is very sensitive to these things, and it should be able to be faster." It's just ......" she said and looked at Zhou Miao with some concern, "Is it enough for only a few of us?" ”
Zhou Miao nodded without hesitation: "Enough." As long as I can find the 'roots' of one 'node', I can deduce the positions of all the 'roots'. ”
Since Zhou Miao said so, thinking that this is not necessarily a matter of direct contact with the monsters in the demon world, Zhang Longqian didn't worry too much, and directly said to the four people, including Zhou Miao: "Then please the four of you, try to avoid direct contact with the monsters, and be careful." If Cang Yan is following, there should be no problem, in case something happens, the main thing is to escape, don't mess around. If you have any unexpected situations, please call us. ”
"What about you?" Remembering that Zhang Longqian also left alone when he searched for information from the demon world before, Bai Lu couldn't help but be a little worried, "Are you going to collect intelligence alone again?" Isn't that dangerous? ”
Hearing this, Nangong Piao immediately nodded in agreement, and even Zhou Miao, who had been expressionless, showed a little dissatisfaction on his face, obviously just like Zhang Longqian didn't want everyone to take risks, they didn't want her to be alone again.
Looking at Nangong Piao and Bai Lu who were gossiping to dissuade him, as well as Zhou Miao, who only showed a little disapproval from his eyes, and Cang Yan, who did not express anything, Zhang Long's heart warmed and raised his hand to stop Bai Lu and Nangong Piao's words.
"Don't worry, I have my way, it won't be too dangerous."
"Then we can act together! It's better than you alone! ”
Looking at everyone who was serious, Zhang Longqian sighed slightly.
"To be honest, Zhongkun can only be regarded as a second-tier city, but it has a population of more than 5 million, although it is a helpless move, but I can't rest assured that I can entrust all their lives to the monsters who used humans as food a moment ago." Looking at everyone who was worried, Zhang Longqian's face was a shallow smile, but his eyes were very serious, "I have responsibilities that I have to bear, I have to go." ”
The serious words made everyone not know how to persuade her for a while, Bai Lu couldn't help but show an awkward expression, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but smile, reached out and touched her head.
"Don't worry, I won't mess around, so you must also promise me not to get yourself hurt."
Looking at Zhang Longqian with puffed out cheeks and a little breathless, Bai Lu finally nodded with a pout.
“…… Oh. ”
