Chapter 397: People on the Journey (6)
"Tick" When the blood of black and red slowly fell from Chen Kai's giant sword, the last rabbit in the entire wilderness was turned into the 800 points of experience in Chen Kai's experience slot. It's just that Chen Kai's body is also covered with dirty blood, although there are not too many wounds, basically all of them are bruises or subcutaneous hemorrhage caused by the impact after being hit by the weapon. But his overall life is still in a relatively dangerous situation, and there are less than 700 points left in more than 1,500 health points, which can be said to have gone to half a life.
However, fortunately, Chen Kai's armor was strong enough, and his strong defense allowed Chen Kai to ignore the ordinary attacks of those bucktooth rabbits, because even if they smashed Chen Kai, they would only cause him less than a hundred points of damage. The five bucktooth rabbits, including the bald leader rabbit, caused 270 damage to Chen Kai, which was the result of them sneaking up on the two rabbits from behind and hitting Chen Kai on the back with wolf fangs.
When Chen Kai howled and put the tip of the giant sword into the belly of the bald rabbit, he found that the vitality of this leader-level rabbit was even more tenacious, because even if the belly was pierced, it still didn't hang up, and still howled and held the wolf tooth bāng on Chen Kai's head. Although it didn't hit him head-on, it almost directly caused Chen Kai to fall into a state of dizziness and being beaten. The knight officer's armor is also really worthy of its price of nearly 100,000 gold coins and the need for 3,000 military merits, because its defense is too perverted. Of course, the so-called metamorphosis is relative to the attacks generated by monsters of similar rank to Chen Kai, after all, no matter how high the armor of the knight officer is, it can't be compared with the skin of high-level creatures, at least Chen Kai feels that the defense power of those seventh- and eighth-order demons is much higher than his armor.
Chen Kai's armor texture is as high as 6.7, that is, it can ignore the sharpness below 6.7, and the overall defense is as high as 600 points. As long as the strength does not exceed 300 points, it will not be able to cause damage to Chen Kai's armor, and naturally it will not be able to damage Chen Kai's body. However, it can absorb a maximum of 600 points of momentum, and the rest still needs Chen Kai's own body and fighting spirit to resist, so Chen Kai's attack on the bucktooth rabbit is still not completely immune. However, if Chen Kai used Dou Yan, with Dou Yan's increased defense by ten percent, he could basically ignore the attacks of these bucktooth rabbits. It's just that in that case, Chen Kai's battle will continue to decrease a lot, so in the end, he will only use the Dou Qi Protector to increase his defense by five percent.
When the last bucktooth rabbit fell to the ground, Chen Kai's fighting spirit was still one hundred and thirty points, but his body was already less than one hundred points. Don't look at the value of the body, but in fact, the 100-point body is already a very dangerous area, because it is already considered a yellow area, and then the red and low body are dangerous. Once he falls into the red zone, then Chen Kai will fall into various negative states brought about by physical exhaustion, and at that time, even an injured rabbit can take his life. But in the end, Chen Kaiǐng came over, and the rabbits who attacked him were all left in the wilderness, becoming the nourishment for the growth of a new generation of plants on the ground. Of course, Chen Kai lost money in this battle, because he didn't even get any points after spending half a day's effort.
Although the bucktooth rabbit's blood has been demonized, it cannot be used to make magic ink, and it is impossible to eat what they have. The only weapons that could be regarded as harvests were also lost by Chen Kai after they were held in his hands, because they were simply a pile of wolf teeth polished from bones. Although the texture of the bones is hard, they are still bones after all, and they are all broken and cannot be repaired, so they are not worth anything at all. After thousands of picks, Chen Kai's only income was a dozen silver coins plus a piece of white silver ore, a total of 50 silver coins.
"It's a shame" Chen Kai summoned Lal out again, this time he didn't pay attention to its kid, and directly glared at it with murderous eyes to make it accept obedience, otherwise Chen Kai would definitely use a whip to ruin it. This isn't necessarily a good idea, but at least for a short time, Chen Kai doesn't have to worry about Lal slowing down due to poop on the ground, and it's safer to ride Lal than to ride an injured spot.
"Be good, be honest with Lao Tzu, and then open your ass if you don't be honest" Chen Kai rode on Ral's back and pricked Ral's stomach with the spurs on his steel boots to make it quiet, in fact, Chen Kai knew that Ral's love of cleanliness was his own habit, because he felt that it was too troublesome to clean up the mud on Ral's hooves, so he subtly let Ral bypass the mud, and the stool of various animals was naturally bypassed. In this way, he gradually developed the disease of Lal being afraid of mud and stool, and now Chen Kai felt that he should change this disease, so he could only let Lal run forward regardless of what he stepped on below. It's just that Lal still listened to Chen Kai's words, and after being spurred a few times, he lowered his head and accepted that he had to guess the fate of running the stool, and obediently ran forward according to Chen Kai's command.
Riding a war horse, Chen Kai kept taking out food from his backpack and stuffing it into his mouth, although the effect of eating and replenishing the body on a war horse was very poor, and it may only be a third of the appearance of sitting down to rest, but it was much safer. With the help of Lal's tall body, Chen Kai's vision was greatly expanded, of course, if the sneak attackers intended to hide, Chen Kai would not be able to find them in the half-human-tall grass. Therefore, Chen Kai can only rely on Lal's super movement speed and extremely high endurance for long-distance running, so that he can run more than 200 kilometers as much as possible. Of course, what he hopes more is that the next road will not be so unlucky, if the road is safe, it will definitely be excellent news for him. It's just that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel and the same as the African savannah. Running wildly in the wilderness, Chen Kai was not as unattacked as expected, and when he rode Lal across a meadow, more than a dozen hungry lions jumped out of the grass, and not far away, a large herd of antelopes was scared away by him.
Obviously, Chen Kai had just successfully stopped a hunting campaign organized by lions, but those antelopes were saved, but Chen Kai became a repentant. Behind his ass, a dozen hungry and angry lioness chased after Chen Kai under the leadership of two male lions that were three meters long, these lions were endemic to the northern wilderness, and they were also magical creatures with two genera, fire and wind elements. The wind blades with flames kept flying behind Chen Kai's back, or simply hit Chen Kai's back, making him want to curse in pain.
It's just that Chen Kai put more experience on appeasing Lal, after all, it is also one of the targets of attack, if Lal breaks halfway, then Chen Kai is estimated to go into the lion's belly. Fortunately, the gallop speed of lions is much slower than that of Lal, and their endurance cannot be compared with that of Andean war horses, let alone Lal, who already has a trace of the king of horses. Although Ral's endurance has decreased somewhat due to a long period of inactivity, it is still a war horse that surpasses high-level war horses, no matter how casual it is. So after being beaten with a few wind blades on his ass and burning half of his horse's tail at the same time, Lal successfully carried Chen Kai and escaped from the pursuit of the more than a dozen wind flame lions with a level of sixty.
After escaping the pursuit, both Lal and Chen Kaiti lì and jīng strength reached a limit, and the clouds in the sky began to gradually increase, Chen Kai felt that there might be a rain coming. Therefore, after continuing for a kilometer, Chen Kai had to stop temporarily on the edge of the straight. Roads built by the Empire were built about every ten kilometers with small rocky houses, which served as resting places for passing travelers and provided shelter in the wilderness, equivalent to a real-life rest stop on the side of the highway.
Of course, the rest stops on the side of the highway in reality began to disappear with the change of jiā tools, after all, the current car has begun to develop into the sky, and the latest maglev sports car can reach a maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour. It doesn't take two hours to get to Beijing from Guangzhou in the south, so the highway is no longer so important, and those rest stops naturally lose their former luster and slowly withdraw from the era. Therefore, in reality, it is rare to see a rest stop on the side of the road, and the role of these small houses in the game is more of an ordinary roadside hotel, but it is not expected to be a rest stop left when the road is being built. Of course, it can't be said that it is completely a rest stop left over from the construction of the road, after all, such a rest stop was still in operation before the battle with the demons. However, the rest stops near the fortress have been completely destroyed, and the only evidence of their existence is the remaining walls and the bones around them. Those bones were one of the reasons why Chen Kai didn't dare to approach them, because they had all been eroded by the dark power and turned into dead creatures, even if the fortress was cleaned up regularly after defeating the demons, it would not be able to prevent them from constantly resurrecting and breeding.
The bones were soldiers guarding the fortress or merchants passing by and convoys carrying supplies to the fortress, but they were all turned into wisps of white bones dangling in the wild and dead creatures attacking the fortress. The hut where Chen Kai is now is relatively far away from the fortress and has not been damaged by wild beasts, it can be regarded as completely preserved. Although the stone hut is littered with weeds and animal droppings due to the game's horrible growth rate of plants, it is still a safe place with walls. The whole stone hut is actually a simple small bunker, with two floors covering an area of more than 200 square meters. By primitive standards, such a bunker could hold about fifty soldiers and give a safe rest to a transport unit of a hundred.
It's just that now due to the attack of the demons, there are basically no people in the bunker, and even the big ones that block the entry of animals have been shattered by the beasts that rushed in. The entire bunker was full of stinking feces and various bird feathers, and Chen Kai also found a litter of badgers that did not have time to escape. This small animal, which resembles a domestic pig, is only the size of a real fragrant pig, and often appears in a litter of five or six together. Although it is not an active attacking monster, it has spikes that can be fired, and the spikes also have poisonous needles on them, which can be said to be very similar to the real porcupine, but their poisonous needles are more poisonous. However, in Chen Kai's eyes, this litter of five badgers was his food in the future, because they all foamed at the mouth and fainted after seeing Donnie. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it is very close to the implementation, because when they escaped, they directly hit the little guy running in the bunker, and as a result, they were directly sprayed with a small dragon flame. The big pig badger that took the lead was instantly scorched in the head, and the one behind it was even more miserable and was directly frightened by the terrifying aura in the dragon flame, and then fell straight to the ground and fainted.
So Chen Kai harvested the first fresh meal he hadn't eaten for a long time, the pig badger with a scorched head, and the rest was stuffed into his backpack as reserve food. As for the little guy who has made a meritorious service, he gets a fresh roasted pig badger plus a roasted tiger uǐ, of course, the tiger uǐ is the leftover from the last time. The place where Chen Kai is now is the second floor of the small bunker, and the second floor is actually only less than two meters above the ground, because the first floor of it is partly below the ground level. In order to protect against the beasts of the wilderness, the entrance to the surface is actually a tunnel that builds an underground, and the entrance is open on the ground. It is necessary to climb the first floor of the bunker and then enter the entrance to enter the bunker completely, such an intricate design is to prevent animals from the wilderness, but it still does not turn out that the bunker will become a place for them to and vent.
So Chen Kai had to spend nearly an hour cleaning up all the feces on the second floor before he began to arrange his resting place. The entrance to the second floor was cleared by him with wooden clutter from the bunker, and the windows were blocked by him. He didn't want to suddenly rush in in the middle of the night when he was sleeping soundly and digested him as a supper, and at the same time, Chen Kai did not sleep directly in the room of the bunker, but set up a tent in it and slept in the tent. Outside the tent is Chen Kai's roasting dinner and the flame used for lighting, Chen Kai is not carrying a lot of food, but there is a lot of firewood, which can almost let him burn for half a month. Pieces of wood were stuffed into the fire by Chen Kai, and became the power to heat the air and the source of heat for smoking and roasting food.
The golden fat continued to fall from the badger's body as it was smoked, and the badger's head was empty, because its head had been scorched by the little one's dragon flame, and it was the kind that turned into powder. It's just that the end of the dragon flame is slightly burned, and the brain of this pig badger is completely gone, which shows how high the temperature of the flame spewed out by the little guy is. What made this dead badger feel aggrieved the most was that it was actually burned by the flames spewed out by the little guy's cough, and the reason for the little guy's cough was the result of its bad habit of gnawing things, so in general, this badger and its family that was thrown into the backpack space by Chen Kai are the more unlucky kind.
Of course, if they weren't unlucky, Chen Kai wouldn't have had a fresh dinner to eat, after all, although the spines of hog badgers are poisonous, their spines are very delicate. This is also true in reality, porcupines, which look similar to badgers, also have many spines, but they taste very good. After using enough fresh spices, the badger in front of Chen Kai completely turned into a delicious dinner, and the soup that was heated in the pot next to it also exuded a rich aroma.
In order to make the little guy feel better, Chen Kai cooked two portions of soup, in addition to his own one, there was also a pre-dinner hot quilt as a small thing to cook together. It's just that it seems that the little thing prefers to drink the soup after the main meal, so the tiger holding it is there to nibble before the soup is even hot. Chen Kai looked at Donnie, who was gnawing happily on the ground like a puppy, and slowly put his eyes on the map in his hand.
In fact, the map he held in his hand was just a virtual version of the system map in the game, so as to avoid the suspicion of the aborigines, even if they took it, they could only see an ordinary sketch and it was very blurry, but in the player's hands, the distance they passed, the scenery and places in the distance can be clearly displayed on it. Of course, Chen Kai was not looking for the road he had traveled, but figuring out how far he was from the nearest city on the Guò system map. According to the straight-line distance on the map, Chen Kai needs to walk at least another 150 kilometers to reach the nearest Norman City, but that is the straight-line distance on the map after all, and the real situation is that Chen Kai must cross two mountains and cross a river ten meters wide to reach Norman City. If Chen Kai really did that, then it is estimated that he did not get there alive, but was randomly teleported to some ruined temple around him, or simply resurrected in a wild cemetery. Because both the mountains and rivers belong to relatively advanced areas, at least Norman City players have not crossed that area alive, so there will be no new players in Zela Fortress who run over to serve as soldiers in a relatively closed environment. Therefore, Chen Kai must study how to safely walk through the area that no one has walked until now while ensuring that he is alive.
On Chen Kai's system map, this area was shrouded in darkness, and the range extended to Chen Kai's location, but Chen Kai knew that in fact, one-third of the area shrouded in darkness belonged to the forest, and the remaining two-thirds were areas that really didn't know what terrain was. After all, those players who want to enter the war zone are not idle wandering around Norman, and every day, several players risk their lives to rush into the forest to find a way, but they all feed the high-level monsters and monsters in the forest. According to the information that Chen Kai learned from the game forum, there were hundreds of demonic beasts in that forest alone, and all of them were monsters with a level of eighty or above, and there were at least thirty of them with a level of ninety or above. What made him vomit blood the most was that these monsters were still encountered by the player, and the area was less than one-fifth of the total forest area. That is to say, in the forest covered by the one-third of the roads that Chen Kai needs to cross, only one-fifth of the roads are known and there are a terrifying number of demonic beasts distributed, and the remaining four-fifths are unknown, God knows how many monsters there are.
The biggest headache for Chen Kai was the remaining two-thirds of the unknown area, that is, the distance from the bunker where Chen Kai was located to the forest. This area is also unknown, although Chen Kai can choose another route, which is to go south from the Plains of Figaro, but in that case he will take a detour of at least thirty kilometers and may also encounter the remnants of the demon's army. After all, the demon legion that stopped in front of Chen Kai and them at the beginning appeared on the Figaro Plains, and the bucktooth rabbits that Chen Kai encountered also flowed over the Figaro Plains. The wilderness where Chen Kai is located can actually be regarded as an extension of the Plain of Figaro, except that it leads to Norman to the southwest, and the Plain of Figaro extends to the southeast, which is another city, Paulace.
Compared to Paulace, Norman is closer to Zela Fortress, at least two-thirds of Paulace's in terms of distance, which means that Chen Kai has to walk at least 300 kilometers if he wants to go to Paulace. The distance is too far and the road is not very safe, which is the reason why Chen Kai wants to go to Norman, after all, if he goes to Norman, he can still take the straight road for the army to transport goods, but if he goes to Paulace, there is no ready-made road for him to go. Of course, Chen Kai didn't think about how those demonic beasts that appeared in the forest outside Norman came from, after all, the original road for the army to transport supplies was directly to the forest, and before the demons attacked the fortress, although this road was occasionally attacked by demonic beasts, it was not as it is now. This information was all learned by Chen Kai before he set off, of course, all he knew was this road, and in the information provided by Saka, although this road was attacked by demonic beasts, it was still relatively safe. It's just that Chen Kai forgot that the news that Saka knew was three months ago, and this path has been under the control of Warcraft for the past three months. If it is really safe, the supplies of Norman City will not be unable to be transported to the fortress, but will need to be teleported through the dangerous space circle.
"This is really troublesome" Chen Kai closed the map in his hand with his brain, and when he had a headache about how to go next. In the far south, in the forest where Chen Kai needs to pass guò, thousands of players are running for their lives in the forest, and behind them, a dozen huge ground spur bears are constantly chasing them. These eighty-seventh-level Ground Thorn Bears were all creatures of the Jīng Ying template, and the most powerful spell they had mastered was to unleash a terrifying Earth Thorn Technique that shrouded a range of thirty meters. The ruined woodland in the distant forest, and the corpse of the player on the ground stabbing on the ground are proof of the power of these monsters.
"Damn the bear, damn the mission, the damn forest" all the players cursed angrily in their hearts, but their pace did not stop for a moment, because they knew that if they stopped, they would be chased by the big bear behind them and turned into a corpse on the ground dressed as a sugar gourd. As they cursed angrily, more than a dozen pairs of terrifying green eyes suddenly appeared in the forest in the distance, and then a huge Daredevil wolf slowly walked out of the darkness, accompanied by a dozen terrifying lines with starlight.
"Monsters can play ambushes, and it's also interracial cooperation, what's it called" This is the only thought of the player who was hit by the moonlight released by the night demon wolf, and after him there was a lot of screaming in the forest, which was the only sound of the player before dying. At the same time, a dozen or so teams of players in Norman City gritted their teeth and crushed the letter in their hands, apparently all of them had received the news from the fallen men.
"Tell the people below that tomorrow's plan is canceled, let them go back to leveling" When this order came out of the mouth of the player leader, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this was the fifth time that the attack on the forest had failed. Everyone knew what kind of rewards they would get once they opened the way to the forest, and the gold alone was enough for each of them to get a lot of money, and most importantly, the rewards for weapons and equipment, which were legion-type equipment that could be obtained without joining the army. So even though they failed several times, the high-end players of Norman City still did not give up and rushed into the forest, and this time they dispatched thousands of people, only to be ambushed by those monsters. So the players of Norman City for the time being are back in the air, ready to gather strength to prepare for the next onslaught. F
