Chapter 373 (2)
"It seems that the demon's strength is not as much as we imagined, at least from the information we have obtained now, it seems that they are about to drain all the demons in the core area in order to search the outer wilderness, of course, it may only be a part of it, resulting in a certain range of personnel missing! ~" Chen Kai looked at the map he took from the dark dagger, which marked the number and time of the demons that patrolled in one night, although there were still many demons that appeared, but there were still patrols between each other, and it was not small.
"Shall we go up there or continue to dig holes in the ground?" Su Xinghe looked at the crude map in his hand and asked Chen Kai, to be honest, they had been underground for too long, so long that everyone was starting to get bored. The most important thing is that they don't have much food, although they are frugal, but the food reserves are still plummeting, after all, the entire team basically belongs to the big stomach king.
The consumption of food, combined with the fatigue and suffocation of a long stay in the dark, made everyone mentally collapse. If digging the tunnel for a day makes people feel a little fresh, then Chen Kai, who has continuously dug the ** Heaven and Earth Dao, has changed from fresh to numb. Even the strongest warriors will slowly become numb and even mad in this endless excavation.
"Let's go up! I asked the other thieves to spread out as much as possible, at least to be able to warn in advance, and I think we should wear our equipment, and when we go down, it's time to fight hard, and we can't rush in without equipment! The dagger sat on the ground and said quietly, while his hands were putting a black leather armor on his body, and a thin and light half-body chain mail was covered on the outside of the leather armor. The black iron rings were tightly fastened to the leather armor by him to prevent it from making a sound when it moved, and of course, the most important thing was to ensure that the armor of the chain mail would not interfere with his running when he moved.
"Then let's go upper! Everyone is up, those who should wear armor wear armor, and those who should go to the thatched hut will be killed after the problem is solved! Chen Kai waved his hand at the others, and everyone, including Van Clery, shook their spirits and wrapped themselves tightly into their armor.
A group of people were preparing murderously in the underground passage, cultivating and waiting for the night to come, the dark clouds outside the day slowly passed in their silent waiting, and when everyone had to slowly jump into the night, Chen Kai, who was originally sitting on the ground practicing fighting spirit, opened his closed eyes. Then the thieves, who had already been prepared, helped each other to rush out of the tunnel, turning over the rocks pressed at the entrance of the passage and entering the wilderness in the heart of the Devil's Gate.
At this moment, Chen Kai, who was wearing a suit of equipment, would no longer shiver in the cold wind, even if their cheeks were still extremely dark because they had not been cleaned, but the sharp eyes and the suppressed feelings after hiding for more than ten days made them have a trace of bloodthirsty madness on them. But even so, no one forgot to hide themselves, but their goal was too big, and it was basically difficult to hide as long as they encountered demons. Therefore, in fact, Chen Kai and the others had the intention of encountering demon patrols and then fighting after stepping into the wilderness, with their numbers and combat effectiveness, as long as the number of demon patrols encountered was less than 20, they could be eaten directly. Of course, maybe they will lose a lot of money if they eat those demons, especially if they encounter a large number of flying little devils, it is estimated that the loss will be quite small.
However, Chen Kai, their luck is not bad, or Fei Yun and their thieves have done a very good job of scouting, in order to ensure the safety of the entire team, all the thieves, including the old thief, Kashgar are scattered outside, exploring the road and monitoring the surrounding environment. As long as there is a demon, they will immediately issue a warning, and then Chen Kai and they can react immediately, so although the action is always stumbling and encountering a lot of dangers, they have always walked nearly five kilometers without danger.
"Huh! Didn't expect us to go so far? Looking back at the road behind him, Chen Kai suddenly felt that this qiē was a bit illusory, because although they almost encountered demons several times along the way, they all avoided it without danger.
"But the next road is difficult, the fourth one sent a message that the demon patrols in front of them are large and dense, I think we should really enter the core area! Don't you notice that the demonic door can be seen? Su Xinghe pointed to the black sky in the distance, where a huge black marble tablet stood in the north, although it was impossible to see the situation there clearly because of the night, but the general shape of the Demon Gate could be clearly seen. The Demon Gate towered from the sky like a prehistoric beast, and a sense of oppression that had been eternal, suddenly arose when people looked at it.
Although Chen Kai and the others knew that the establishment of this Demon Gate would definitely not be too long, because if it had been stored here, then the north would have already become a demonic world, but when Chen Kai and the others looked at this Demon Gate, even if it was quite far away and more than fifteen kilometers away, they could still see it vaguely, and still felt that it should have been there. This is a feeling of existence in space, because the door of the devil is a passage to break through the storage of the spatial plane, so it is explicitly combined with the surrounding space, and it is precisely because of this that it will give the person who sees it a feeling that it has always been here. Of course, if you look closely, you will find that the Demon Gate is so out of place with its surroundings, very abrupt and twisted, after all, it should not exist in the world in the first place because it is an eternal spatial passage. For the spatial forces of the original plane, the existence of the Demon Gate is actually organizing the spatial forces to heal the wounds.
However, because the distance was too far, Chen Kai and the others could not see this kind of incompatible scene, and could only see this huge black form combined with the surrounding space. But even so, the shock to Chen Kai's hearts was still very terrifying, at least no one would think that the huge black object in the distant sky would be a coffin or a marble tablet.
"It turns out that I thought the Demon Gate was only a few dozen meters high, but I didn't expect it to be so high, this height has caught up with those skyscrapers in reality!" With the help of the lightning light at the edge of the sky, Chen Kai held the Eagle Eye Telescope there to observe the appearance of the Demon Gate, although he couldn't look carefully, Chen Kai could clearly see the height of the Demon Gate, the huge building that was nearly three hundred meters high was enough to go down in history alone. A 300-meter-high rock gate is enough to occupy a place in the Guinness Book of Records in reality, and of course, no one is bored enough to really make a gate like Zuò.
After seeing this rock gate that was comparable to a miracle, Chen Kai and the others immediately searched for a place to hide around, because the sky was about to dawn. Although they have the courage to face the devil, it doesn't mean that they will really run to fight the devil in broad daylight, it is definitely not the work of the brave but the fool.
Chen Kai and the others were not stupid, and Fan Clery and the others naturally didn't want to be, so they went underground again when it was about to dawn, dug a deep hole with the tools at hand and drilled into it. The dark underground provided them with a safe haven, as well as a place to rest and recharge.
"I'll set off from here tomorrow, and then rush directly to this place, it's only about five kilometers away, and we've found out all the patrols, and if we're lucky, it's estimated that it will take less than three hours to arrive! Then it's up to luck next, the guards behind are too tight, and it is estimated that we can penetrate one kilometer into it at most, which is the limit~! The dagger pulled out a freshly baked crude map and spread it on the ground, and all the players in charge of directing and leading the team gathered in the tent to watch the position of his finger, and every coordinate and marker on it was recorded by them into their information system for later calling.
"And what if we rush to this distance and still don't have the task of activating the system?" A thief couldn't help but raise his hand and said, as the distance from the Demon Gate got closer and closer, the hearts of the players who originally believed in the words of T T-boy began to waver, this is less than twenty kilometers away from the Demon Gate, but still has not received the prompts and rewards of the system to overcomplete the task, which makes people feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.
"Then I'll have to continue to rush in, riding a war horse to the impact of death, with the speed of a high-level war horse, it is estimated that I can rush to the edge of the demon gate in thirty minutes, in this time, I think the system will definitely give us enough rewards. In the end, I thought about it, if I really rushed into the vicinity of the Demon Gate, then I would use all the thunder cannon tubes to give them a shot, more than a thousand thunder cannon tubes, I think enough for the demons to make a pot! There was a hideous smile on the face of the dagger, and at the same time he imagined the demon being blown up into the sky.
"But what if we rush to the side of the Demon Gate and still don't finish the mission?" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but mutter, but Chen Kai's answer startled him.
"Then go back and tie up the scout captain and drag him here, and let him tell him how you can safely walk around the door of the Demon Gate surrounded by tens of thousands of demons and then touch it back safely!" This sentence was extremely cold, because even the seventh-order old thief Kashgar had said that it was impossible to safely enter the surroundings of the Demon Gate surrounded by so many demons, unless it was a thief above the Holy Rank who mastered the hidden skills of the Holy Order.
"......" Listening to Chen Kai's dangerous words, everyone's hearts suddenly burst into flames, and at this moment, they suddenly found that they seemed to be a little too worried, because the environment here is too dangerous, it is impossible for a fifth-order thief to sneak in, even a real scout cannot sneak in here unharmed, so the thieves' feelings were slowly appeased, and the others gradually relaxed, and began to prepare to rest.
On the same night, there was not a trace of moonlight in the dark night sky, or if there was, it was completely obscured by the endless dark clouds in the sky, so that the ground was almost pitch black. Except for the occasional lightning in the distance, Chen Kai gave them a glimmer of light, so that they would not lose their way as they moved forward. In such an environment, the demon's vision ability has also become extremely narrow, and it is estimated that only those demons who are born with dark vision can see things dozens of meters away.
Therefore, the Chen people walked very smoothly, and at most they hid when they encountered demons, of course, thanks to the player's vision that was blessed by the system. In particular, players in the temple system can use the magic of their temple to observe the demonic power on the demon, even if they are hundreds of meters away, they can clearly see it and take evasive measures. In such an environment, it is no longer the thieves who are responsible for leading the team, but Chen Kai and these temple knights. Of course, the thieves did not have time to lead the team, they were always open the way in front to explore the road and warn those behind.
The only good news for Chen Kai and the others was that when they rushed into a range of ten kilometers around the Demon Gate, the players who had lost confidence in completing the mission again actually completed the trial task en masse, and they all gained great benefits. Most people's attribute points are fully obtained, and Chen Kai and Zhao Tiezhu, two players who have already completed the trial, have also received certain rewards, and the rewards of good people who assist others in completing the trial. Each player who completes the trial can give the two of them nearly 1,000 experience points, and nearly two hundred people give them two 200,000 experience points to make the others jealous. Of course, the promotion of many players also allows Chen Kai to know the purpose of specialization points, which are special attribute points specially used to strengthen a certain weapon skill, which can directly improve its proficiency by one level. For Chen Kai, there is nothing better than the ability to strengthen the battle before the war, and the investment of specialization points makes one of their specialized weapon skills can exert more powerful combat effectiveness in battle.
For example, in the proficiency of one-handed swords, each level of proficiency can increase the weapon's attack speed by 10% and add a 10% sharpness value to the weapon. In this way, the more familiar the player is with the weapon in his hand, the higher the combat effectiveness will be, and at the same time, when a weapon proficiency reaches the master level, you can get a certain special title, but the weapon master is not so easy to achieve. Even among the aborigines, there are very few masters, and what is even worse is that it cannot be directly achieved with specialization points, and must rely on their own comprehension to break through that level.
Chen Kai: After they put their specialization points into the weapons they were familiar with, everyone felt as if they were a little stronger, so they were even more excited and eager to overcomplete the tasks and storm the Demon Gate to get the fortress rewards in the future. While many thieves complete the quest, they get the next mission, and it is a special mission that appears directly in their quest slot, and the quest rating is as high as an A difficulty index.
This kind of thing that the task rating and difficulty are not uniform, Chen Kai has never encountered or seen it, because whether it is a system task or a mercenary or adventure task issued by the aborigines, the task rating and difficulty will be the same, and only one will appear. A level tasks are the grade A rating and difficulty, and it will not be an A grade but a B grade of difficulty. But now there are A-rated missions with a two-level difficulty, and everyone is a little confused and feels like the system is playing with them.
But it soon became clear that maybe the system wasn't playing them, but that there was a special force among them that could change the system's rating, namely Vankris and the Native warriors. The difficulty of the system changes according to the surrounding environment, and the environment around the Demon Gate at this moment is definitely worthy of its double difficulty environment, so it is definitely the strength of Van Kerry that changes the mission rating. However, there are great demons around the Demon Gate that are said to have reached the Sanctuary level, and the highest strength of Van Clery is the eighth order, which is not at all like they have the kind of power that can change the rating of the mission. But when Chen Kai saw the oval pendant that exuded a purple-black brilliance hanging on Van Clery's chest, he seemed to understand something, this thing that was firmly protected by Van Clery seemed to be a bit special, definitely not just the heirloom he said.
Chen Kai, who couldn't figure it out, decided to ask the other party directly, because when he was so close to the Demon Gate, Fan Cree would probably reveal some information, especially when everyone was in the same boat, and he should tell Chen Kai unreservedly about what he had in his hands.
"Captain Vanklee, I would like to ask if what you have on your chest is really just your heirloom?" Chen Kai asked the other party directly, but his words made Fan Kerry stunned directly, and then held the pendant on his chest with one hand as if he was afraid that Chen Kai would snatch it.
"Knight Kaichen, you should understand that everyone has the right to reserve **, and some things are better than knowing!" Van Clery spoke very directly, he did not reveal what the object was, and at the same time, Sawaschilo around them, they also came over to protect Van Clery in the middle, as if he was about to break away from the group.
"Nope! I think you've misunderstood us, but in fact we have a mission from a god that asks us to storm the Demon Gate or even destroy it outright. But you should know that we don't have that kind of power, even with all the thunder cannon barrels, it is impossible to destroy the Demon Gate, and the instructions given to us by the gods are directed at you, so I think you should have something with you that can destroy the Demon Gate! "Chen Kai began to use the power of the gods to fool the other party, of course, in fact, the system is a god in the eyes of the aborigines.
"Are you saying it's true? The great god of dawn has been watching us? Van Clery looked a little surprised, and at the same time didn't quite believe Chen Kai's words, so there was a hint of doubt in his tone.
"Of course! We travelers will be instructed directly by the gods at some point, but this is not a guide, but the gods force us to do something, including clearing the gods of their enemies! Most of the time, though, the gods don't give us people too much of a difficult task, because it always takes care of us like children! To be honest, Chen Kai felt more and more that his ability to fool people was not high, no wonder he could only drink Ba and mix together as knights instead of being a priest who fooled people.
"So can you make sure you don't snatch it when you know where it came from, and swear to help me rush to the Devil's Gate?" Van Krry pulled away from Savaskilo and walked up to Chen Kai and said with a stern expression.
"Of course!" Chen Kai knew that he couldn't get the real news without showing some sincerity, so he not only swore by himself, but also swore by Fei Yun and them. H! ~!
