"What do we do now?" Looking at the corpses of the demons on the ground that had been moved together, the hearts of the group were heavy. (Like this book, please collect biquge.info) Originally, the house they rented Chen Kai resold it again when he asked Zhao Tiezhu to leave, although he only resold less than 45 Mithril coins, but it was better than losing them all, and when he came to the ruined temple, Zhao Tiezhu saw Chen Kai who was in a daze in front of the corpse of the miscellaneous demons. At this moment, although Chen Kai and the others did not know which demon organization the defeated demons belonged to, it did not prevent them from worrying about the future, so they made the practice of asking Zhao Tiezhu to sell the house and move everything to the abandoned temple.
"What else can I do? They can only take one step at a time, and those humans don't dare to resist at all when they see the demons, maybe in their hearts the demons are no longer considered enemies, but a bunch of bullies. Or maybe they are more afraid of demons than they are loyal to the human race, otherwise they wouldn't see those demons like mice see cats! Chen Kai sighed, although he was very indignant that the old people abandoned them, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Chen Kai couldn't ask these old people to fight hard for a few of their strangers and demons, but the attitude of those old men when they left made Chen Kai extremely angry. Looking at the eyes of those old people, Chen Kai felt like vomiting blood, as if he saw the numb and weak eyes of those old-world Chinese that could only be seen in textbooks. Chen Kai almost wanted to say a word to those old people to mourn their misfortune and be angry! It's a pity that he is great and reckless, and this sentence is not very appropriate for this occasion, but he always feels that these eight words are very much in line with the appearance of those old people.
"And where are we going to live?" Fei Yun took the forty-five Mithril coins from Zhao Tiezhu who sold the house, although the house was sold, but the price was much lower due to the unusual hurry of the sale. This transaction was enough for Fei Yun to lose five Mithril coins, which was five hundred when converted into gold coins. Of course, this is still the result of Zhao Tiezhu's action before those old people return home, if those old people come back, then maybe he can't even sell these forty-five Mithril coins. In fact, when Zhao Tiezhu left the house and handed over the keys to the new buyer, the old men were armed with all kinds of improvised weapons to try to drive him away. It's a pity that they arrived one step late, the new owner has already got the deed, and Zhao Tiezhu also saw the movements of those old people on the street corner. Zhao Tiezhu felt very disgusted by the behavior of those old men, and these old men were afraid of the demons, and they even planned to occupy the house while Chen Kai and them were away. If Zhao Tiezhu hadn't moved fast enough, maybe this house wouldn't have been his turn to sell.
Hearing Zhao Tiezhu's retelling, Chen Kai made them even more disdainful of the behavior of those old men, and at the same time, they were even more depressed in their hearts, they didn't know why these few miscellaneous demons with low strength could make those old people so frightened. Even though these old men and ladies are now old, their own strength has not completely degraded, they themselves were seventh- and eighth-order beings in the past, but now they don't dare to be angry with the sixth-order miscellaneous demon leader. This obvious behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the hard made Chen Kai extremely angry, because he didn't dare to fight back not long ago because he didn't want to cause trouble to these old people. If he had known that these old men were such people, then his fists would definitely not fall without falling, instead of just daring to be beaten and not fight back.
Now for them, they must not go to the city where they originally lived, because the old people are generally from that area. Maybe they won't be discovered by the demons, but they will be sold to the demons by these old men as bargaining chips, so for Chen Kai and them, the original city is a very dangerous place. As for the demon area where they escaped, they couldn't go there, and once they passed, they would have come back without a goat, so for the time being, they could only live in this ruined temple. Fortunately, the area of the entire temple is not small, although there is no temple in the original continent that is favored by the gods and has a huge internal expansion space, but the entire temple was already the largest and most towering building in Khedira when it was built. Perhaps the humans who came to Khedira wanted to use this man-made temple to show their reverence for the gods, but unfortunately, when the power of the gods was really about to descend here, the humans of Khedira did not dare to protect the people who led the gods to come. This was definitely a great irony, but for Chen Kai and the others, the huge temple was the best hiding place, at least for a short time.
Of course, they had to get enough water and food before they could hide in the temple, so poor Fei Yun acted as a buyer again, while Chen Kai and the others looked for a place to hide in the temple. Chen Kai didn't have to think about those rooms in the temple, such an obvious hiding place could be found at least a little rummaging, so they chose to learn from the birds, and looked for a place to stay in the space above the high pillars of the temple.
Unfortunately, the internal structure of the entire temple was very meticulous, and no matter how much they searched, it was difficult to find any place on the roof of the temple that could accommodate one person. However, they found it to be a good idea, because the most difficult place to see in the temple was the roof. Khedira's peculiar natural lighting environment makes it rare for the entire temple to have a bright place, which if it is placed on the original continent, even the temple of Hades may be brighter than the temple of Khedira. Because there were no hedron torches for lighting in the temple, even the skylights with light could not get most of the light into them due to the environment. For Chen Kai and them, the roof of the temple is definitely the best place to hide, as long as it is well designed, they can easily live on it, and because the difference between the top and the ground is up to twenty meters, they can avoid the detection of many low-level demons who can't fly. According to Chen Kai's understanding, even if these low-level demons were enlightened, it would be impossible for them to raise their heads to check the situation on the roof of the temple, and the only thing to worry about was probably those little demons.
However, in Khedira Chen Kai, they rarely saw any trace of the little demons, the worst ones were those miscellaneous demons, and those little demons who were said to be able to evolve into high-level demons were not seen. Although they were very puzzled by this, the group of people who were busy looking for a place to stay would not run to ask the demon this question, unless their minds were completely amused. Looking at the areas on the roof of the temple that were basically in darkness all the time, Chen Kai's heart was very entangled, he didn't know what the structure was there, but according to the symmetrical layout of the temple, it was obvious that this part of the structure was also tightly fitted, and it was difficult to find a place to really stay. If they can't find a place to stay, it means that they can't find a place to hide under the roof of the temple, and they can only choose to find a place to stay in the various rooms in the temple hall. But the rooms of the temple were no secret to the people who lived in Khedira, and even the demons knew where they were, and perhaps some demons knew far better than the humans living in the Khedira. So staying in the temple room is definitely the way to die, and maybe staying in the wild is safer than staying in the temple room.
Chen Kai, who was in a daze looking at the tightly knit roof structure above his head, sighed, he knew that his idea of settling down on the roof of the temple was directly shattered. Of course, he soon patted his head again, because he was looking for places to stay, but he forgot that they could make a place to settle down by themselves. After inspecting the roofs of several rooms in the temple, Chen Kai found that the space above the gate at the entrance of the temple was the most suitable for hiding, because only a few wooden planks needed to be erected there to set up a space where the tent could be erected, and the most important thing was that the demon would not look up at the roof when entering the temple. Even when they looked up, the location Chen Kai had chosen could easily be concealed by the dim environment and the rocks on the roof. After choosing this location, Fei Yun had one more task, which was to order a few heavy planks like a lumber shop in the city. In Khedira, wood may be a more expensive item than grain, after all, wood cannot grow without water, and if it is food, it can be harvested several seasons a year using the power of magic. But if it's wood, even the power of magic can't make a forest grow a few times, and Khedira basically has very few druids, so the lack of natural spells makes it impossible to create forests in large quantities. If Khedira had enough druids, perhaps there wouldn't be just a dozen withered trees outside its city, but a vast green forest.
Even in a dry environment, the druids can use natural spells to create a forest, and relying on the number of mages in the original Khedira, they can naturally set up a magic circle that sucks the water element under these forests, which can ensure the growth of those forests. At the same time, the druids can also take good care of the forests that have grown, so that they will not be demonized by the sinister environment around them, but unfortunately the Khedira does not have druids, even the magic arrays that high-level mages can make to attract water cannot guarantee the normal growth of trees. Most of the trees in Khedira must be cut down when they are more than ten centimeters long, otherwise it is difficult to ensure that the trees that are too large will not be demonized into magic trees to attack humans. Therefore, it is almost impossible to buy a whole board with a width of more than 10 centimeters in Khedira, and even the coffin board is assembled from wooden boards. No matter how powerful the human beings in Khedira were during their lifetime, the coffin boards they slept on after death were exactly the same, all of them were made of small wooden planks, so this may be the most equal and fair place for Khedira.
For Chen Kai, it doesn't matter if it's assembled or not, as long as it's strong enough to withstand the weight. It's a pity that even with such a simple condition, those planks cost Fei Yun twenty Mithril coins, and this kind of cost made the group have the urge to regret not doing it at the beginning. Know that in the forest they fled, although most of the trees were dead, it didn't mean that their dead wood couldn't be used. Due to the dry environment, some of the wood is still very strong as long as it does not get wet, and this kind of wood is already very good wood for the people of Khedira. It's a pity that the wood that Chen Kai and the others cut down at the beginning were all used as firewood, and they were all cut into neat short pieces, not to mention patching together into wooden boards, it would be good to be able to connect them completely. Such woods, Chen Kai directly used them as stepping objects and inserted them into the cracks in the carved stones. When Chen Kai climbed on the roof of the temple to design a place to stay, Xu Fei, who was mending the magic array on the high platform outside the temple, straightened up tiredly and hammered his sore back, ready to drink some water and rest. But his raised head quickly lowered, and he lay on the high platform at a very fast speed, and in his field of vision six or seven dark figures were running towards the temple at an extremely high speed.
"Brother Kai! Attention!! Six more! No! It's seven demons rushing towards where you are! Xu Fei's report was very timely, if he hadn't raised his head and saw these demons rushing over, maybe by the time Chen Kai and the others found out, these demons would have already rushed to the entrance of the temple hall. It was with Xu Fei's warning that Chen Kai and the others had a little time to prepare, so as not to deal with it in a hurry and lose their square inches. After hearing Xu Fei's report, Chen Kai quickly climbed down from the roof of the temple more than ten meters high, but did not completely climb to the bottom, but lay on his stomach on a pillar two or three meters high from the entrance. With the help of the iron hammer that was originally nailed to the pillar, he stood on the pillar and quietly waited for the arrival of the demon, while Zhao Tiezhu took out his shield and his chain hammer and hid behind the pillar like Su Wan. The only one in the entire team who didn't dodge was Chen Yi, she knelt quietly at the entrance of the temple and prayed slowly, a hidden aura of divine magic slowly spread out from under her, covering the bodies of Chen Kai and the three of them, increasing the physical recovery power of the three of them. Of course, this kind of aura is extremely difficult to detect in the dim light conditions of the temple, otherwise those demons will see the faint light emanating from Chen Kai and them when they enter the door, and the sneak attack opportunity that several people have painstakingly wanted to create will disappear completely.
When the seven demons rushed to the entrance of the temple, several people had completely occupied the battle position, although they knew that this attack was very risky, but such a risky attack was definitely safer than risking death to rush outside the temple. Outside the temple, they had no chance to carry out a sneak attack, so they could only fight openly, but it was obviously very unwise to fight against a demon of similar rank in an open-air environment. Everyone knew that it would definitely be a disaster to encounter a larger number of demons in the wild, and inside the temple, Chen Kai and they could also use the environment at the entrance of the temple to limit the number of demons. After all, the gate of the temple was made of two huge rocks, and most of the time the gate was just a gap for two or three people to enter and exit. The weight of the two stone gates is no longer something that can be pushed by manpower, and the mechanism for the temple to open the stone doors has long been decayed due to the power of the years, so these two huge stone gates are Chen Kai's biggest barrier. As long as these two stone doors were still there, Chen Kai wouldn't have to worry about a large number of demons pouring into the temple together, but without the two huge stone gates, they would have to worry about those demons rushing into the temple together.
When the first demon stepped into the entrance of the temple, whether it was Chen Kai who was hiding on the pillar of the gate, or Zhao Tiezhu and Su Wan who were hiding behind the pillar of the corridor, they all breathed a sigh of relief, because the demon who rushed in was still a miscellaneous demon. The level is similar to the three killed by Chen Kai and them, and the leader is also a level 61 miscellaneous demon leader. In the face of such a demon, although Chen Kai was nervous in their hearts, they still felt that they could win. The moment the first demon stepped into the door of the temple, it saw Chen Yi kneeling not far away, but it felt a burning pain on the surface of its body as soon as it showed an excited smile on its face. The moment it rushed in, Chen Yi released the purification aura that had been prepared a long time ago, and the pale golden aura power instantly appeared at the feet of this demon leader, and the loss of fifty points of health per second made it not only painful but also extremely uncomfortable.
The body of this miscellaneous demon who rushed into the temple first was uncomfortable, and naturally stood at the entrance, directly blocking the footsteps of those miscellaneous demons behind him. Although the opening of the entrance was still large enough for two or three people to enter side by side, it was still too small for a creature with a relatively large body like a demon. Especially the leader-level demon, although it does not have the logo of the elite level, it has an elite-level physique, and its huge body directly blocks the footsteps of the two ordinary demons with slightly petite bodies behind it. Seeing the movements of this demon leader, both Chen Kai and Zhao Tiezhu knew that this was a rare opportunity to attack, but compared to Zhao Tiezhu, Chen Kai still had to continue to hide, because he saw through a crack in the stone door that there was a figure of a middle-level demon at the door. The demon was far more robust than the one at the entrance, and the horns on its head were more one-colored. The purer the color of the horns among the demons, the purer the bloodline. Although this guy is still a demon, it is undoubtedly the type of demon whose bloodline is relatively pure, and as long as it is given time to grow, it will inevitably be able to advance into a more advanced demon.
So Chen Kai did not take the opportunity to attack, but chose to continue to hide his body, but Zhao Tiezhu took this opportunity to launch the first wave of blows. In fact, he is also the first attacker arranged by Chen Kai and them, as an earth knight, even if he is counterattacked, he can survive with the support of Chen Yi's divine arts, because the shield in his hand is the tower shield with the highest defensive power among Chen Kai and them at this stage. The shield of Guccis was identified by a blacksmith from Khedira on Zhao Tiezhu's way to the temple, and the defense coefficient of up to 7.3 and the increase in strength and stamina of 30 points and 20 points of stamina almost made this tower shield close to the equipment of a holy artifact.
It's a pity that it's still high-end blue, because its owner is not Zhao Tiezhu but Guccis, and Zhao Tiezhu only has the right to use this tower shield, so it can only play the effect of high-end blue quality. According to the blacksmith, this shield is a soul piece of equipment, that is, only those who have the approval of its owner can use it, but it cannot use the full strength of the entire equipment. Although the connection between this shield and its master was cut off due to the plane, it also caused the quality of the entire shield to temporarily decline, and it became a high-grade blue equipment. It's just that when you use it, you can still trigger the effect of counterattack, but it can't be reflected in the attributes, maybe only the real owner of this tower shield knows the true attributes of this shield.
But even so, for Zhao Tiezhu, this shield is also an artifact, with the power of the shield, he can ignore many piercing or knife attacks, but he just needs to withstand the impact of those slashes. Similarly, as a knight of the Earth Temple, he had many ways to channel his power into the ground and minimize the impact, so Zhao Tiezhu was absolutely confident that he could withstand the attacks of less than three demons, and now he only needed to face one demon leader, and his confidence was naturally more sufficient. The moment he rushed out of the pillar where he was hiding, the chain hammer in his hand was thrown out at an extremely high speed, and the powerful centrifugal force made the speed of the chain hammer extremely terrifying, and in Zhao Tiezhu's field of vision, the power of the centrifugal force evolved into the attack multiple of the chain hammer, and a big x2 instantly flashed through his field of vision. Looking at the flashing words, Zhao Tiezhu sighed, the double attack enhancement is definitely a low value thrown out after using the cooked chain hammer, but it is not stronger than a multiple.
