Chapter 155: Important Information
Returning to inform Kashya were several guides and scouts sent by the Ranger Legion to the Combined Legion of the War Zone, who were tasked with helping the Legion's main force lead the way through the Demonic Fog Canyon to the Doomsday Hollow.
Demon Mist Canyon is a vast hilly valley with complex terrain and cliffs, although it is not dangerous for professionals, but if you are not familiar with the road, it is very possible to waste a few more days of time in it.
This vast valley is covered with a black-gray haze that makes visibility very low, and the floating dust will turn you all over.
If you encounter an ambush in such a place, the situation of the Legion will be very dangerous, especially since most of the people in the Combined Legion are from other war zones and are not familiar with the Demon Mist Canyon at all.
Thankfully, the ranger who came back for help told Kashya that it wasn't the large demon forces that ambushed the Combined Legion.
In fact, after Azmodan disappeared, the demon camp in the Doomsday Hollow had long since been emptied.
Most of the demons fled back to Chaos Purgatory through the Purgatory portal, and only a handful of the demonic remnants that had been scattered in the previous battle remained.
The ambush of the Combined Legion was such a small force of remnants of demons.
Moreover, it is said to be an ambush, but in fact, it can only be regarded as creating trouble for the advancement of the legion at most.
These remnant demons are mixed with a large number of succubi, and under the leadership of a powerful dark gold succubus leader, they create illusions in the Demon Mist Canyon, block the passages, harass the Legion's reconnaissance and logistics forces, and cause a lot of trouble for the Legion's advancement.
Due to the terrain and environmental impact in the canyon, the legendary powerhouses of the legion have never been able to find a chance to seize them, and they have been unable to find the correct route out of the valley due to the harassment of the other party.
In order not to continue to be passive like this, which would lead to the delay of the fighters, several legion commanders in the legion sent people back to ask for help.
However, after listening to the ranger's words, Kashya frowned a little puzzled.
Before the previous operation to clear the Doomsday Hollow was launched, didn't the two transcendent beings of the Eagle and the Skeleton also join in?
Could it be that they can't see through the illusions created by the succubus with their abilities?
"Lord Kashya, the two Lords of Eagle and Skeleton were recalled by the Death Citadel before entering the Demon Mist Canyon, it is said that something big is about to happen on the Eternal Battlefield, and we are not very clear about the specific matters......
Faced with Kasha's doubts, the ranger replied a little helplessly.
"I see, that's no wonder...... Cassa nodded, a look of relief on his face.
"What did General Edwin say?"
"General Edwin has already sent Captain Elena to bring people over, and he hopes that you and Lord Xue can also go to help together, so he sent me to find you."
"Well, I know, you go first, I'll be right away."
Kashya nodded, and said very dryly.
The Ranger saluted Kashya, then quickly left.
After seeing her leave, Kasha sighed a little helplessly, and then shook the void in her right hand, and a ball of fire appeared in the palm of her hand.
She whispered a few words to the firelight, then tossed it lightly.
The flame flickered in mid-air, and then turned into a miniature phoenix with flames burning all over its body, and disappeared into the void in one fell swoop.
Kasha glanced in the direction where Xue Hua was, turned around and said a few words to a few professionals beside him, and then with a stretch of his body, he rose into the air in the flames and flew quickly towards the north of the Late Winter Castle.
......
On the other side, Xue Hua was interrogating the lackeys of Sarnaga who had just been caught.
Under the effect of the invulner's neuroparasitic skills, this guy who had just been hard as an iron guy was like a most competent Erwuzai at the moment, quickly and clearly answering Xue Hua's questions.
"What is your mission in the Second World, and why did your master leave this thing to you alone?"
Xue Hua held the black stone box in his hand and observed left and right, casually asking questions.
"The master asked us to monitor the battle on Black Rock Star, pay special attention to the dynamics of the Demon Lord and the Archangel, and pass on all the information we have collected to him through the messenger board."
"This relic was given by the hands of the owner, who also gave me extraordinary speed and keen perception.
He asked me to guard this artifact and use it to collect specific human essences after this siege and give it to him. ”
The gray-robed man knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the sky above his head, and at the same time answering Xue Hua's question like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"How did you get in touch with your master?"
"Also, what is the 'specific' human essence, is there anything different between those who were killed by you and normal people?"
"The host contacted us unilaterally and we were unable to contact the host."
"Pain, hatred, fear, confusion, human beings with these emotions are all special essences that the master asks to collect......"
The gray-robed man's answer made Xue Hua stunned.
All these things he describes must be negative human emotions, right?
What does this have to do with genes?
"What is your master collecting the essence of these people?"
"Feel, absorb, understand, work together... My master had revealed some of the powers he had in his possession when he had reformed me, and he told me how valuable these emotions were for him to draw new strength, and that I should carefully collect them and protect them at all costs......"
"The Precious Value of Negative Human Emotions?"
Xue Hua raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something.
It seems that this guy has already seen the essence of the power of the Hell Demon Lord, and is trying to fuse this essence to prepare for his next move......
It had been attacking the Hell Demon King before, but it had never touched the realm of the Three Demon Gods, at least Xue Hua had not heard the news of the accident of the King of Destruction, Baal - this guy had also been seriously injured in the World Stone Hall before, and it stands to reason that Sarnagar should not let it go.
From this point of view, it should not have been able to devour the power of the Demon God at that time, but now, as its plan continues to advance, this guy is obviously ready to attack the Three Demon Gods.
Collecting these human emotions is to be able to better understand the nature of the power held by the three demon gods, so that they can turn their power into their own use more quickly.
This is invaluable information, and it means that the expansion of the swarm can be carried out more boldly.
It's unlikely that this Sarnagar will be able to make a move to trouble the swarm while he prepares to deal with a Hell Demon God more powerful than the Transcendental.
"How many of you are here?"
Xue Hua asked the gray robe to be humane.
"Most of my companions died in the fighting, and as far as I know, I'm the only one left in the area."
"That's great, Azmodan barely did a good thing."
Hearing his answer, Xue Hua couldn't help laughing.
Due to the need for concealment, most of these Sarnagar lackeys are just civilians, and even if they have professionals, their status is not too high.
Such a person was basically cannon fodder in the big war just now, and belonged to the kind that would hang up if he was not careful.
It seems that he doesn't have to worry much about this.
