Chapter 182: The Scepter of the Earth - The Scarlet Road (Up)

I finally understand what the concept of being tired and dying of fatigue is, and the whole person is groggy, as if I can fall asleep by leaning on the pillow, I really can't bear the good night everyone

The next day, Chen Kai and the others left the inn early, but when they left, the innkeeper had already changed someone. The owner of this new inn greeted all the departing guests familiarly biquge.info but when he saw Chen Kai and them, his face was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know that Chen Kai and they lived here.

After checking the accounts, he was sure that Chen Kai and his party were indeed guests in the inn, and with a hint of doubt and confusion, the innkeeper checked out for Chen Kai and them, and handed over the water and food that he himself did not know when to prepare.

After Chen Kai and the others left, the innkeeper still couldn't figure out when they stayed in the hotel, because he didn't have any memory of Chen Kai and his party staying in the hotel. With this confusion, the innkeeper greeted his next departing guest, a fat man who looked very familiar.

It's just that for this fat man with a smile on his face, although the innkeeper looks familiar, he still doesn't remember who the other party is. The only thing he remembered was that it seemed that the fat man's room had been arranged by himself, and he had brought the other party into the room to see it.

Watching the chubby, merchant-like fat man leave the inn after checking out, the innkeeper had a very peculiar idea of wanting to beat the fat man hard. The face that originally looked very honest and white, now in retrospect, made the innkeeper feel the urge to stomp on that face a few times.

It wasn't until the fat man left that the innkeeper finally remembered why he hated him so much, because he had knocked him unconscious when he showed him the room. The innkeeper who slapped the table and cursed the fat man opened the counter with all his might, but when he opened the counter, he froze, and the large pile of IOUs under the counter had turned into more than two dozen magic crystal coins.

"Did that drunkard of Lokas come to pay me back yesterday when I was knocked unconscious? Where did this drunkard get so much money? Counting the pile of gold coins that belonged to him, the innkeeper quickly forgot about being beaten by the fat man, and by the way, he also forgot about the travelers who didn't know when they stayed at the hotel.

At this moment, his mind was completely occupied by gold coins, but without his knowledge, an unknown illusion magic circle on the pile of gold coins under the counter flashed with golden light in his eyes, and completely disappeared under the counter.

Unbeknownst to the innkeeper, his memories of Chen Kai and the fat man he knocked unconscious completely disappeared. As a glimmer of golden illusion light flashed, his memory completely turned into an illusory memory created by the illusion caster, tailor-made for the innkeeper.

"Lokas's gold coins are really not easy to earn, the innkeeper looks so thin, I didn't expect it to be so heavy, but fortunately I didn't smash the signboard this time, I hope that next time Locas's drunkard can introduce some good business" Throwing the three extra crystal coins from Chen Kai's payment IOU, the chubby white-faced merchant walked through the streets of Efila and quickly walked into a ready-to-wear store.

When the fat man came out of the ready-to-wear spot, his clothes and image changed all over his body, and he left the store very quickly. When the chubby merchant finally left Ephila, his outfit had changed five times, and he was a very tall knight who left Ephira.

Relying on the busy street market in the morning, neither the soldiers nor the residents of Ephila left Ephila, and a fat man who had disguised himself several times left Efera. Of course, maybe they won't pay attention to this, the only concern of the entire Ephila people right now is what to eat in the morning, and of course some people may be concerned about the upcoming cavalry in the barracks outside the city.

Of course, in addition to this group of cavalry, the well-informed players are now at the door of the mercenary guild, and they are walking into several carriages one by one, among which is Bao Buping, who has a relationship with Chen Kai and them.

And Chen Kai and the others ran quickly in the direction of the barracks, constantly complaining to each other along the way, because they all got up late. The group hurried and finally reached the place when Lokas left the barracks with a group of cavalry.

"You're late," said Lokas, with a tired look on his face, and the horse he sat down on had the same smell of drowsiness as he did, and kept shaking as he walked. "But it's okay, we still have time, let's go get a carriage first, and wait at the north gate."

After Lokas finished speaking, he winked at Chen Kai, then rode to his side on a war horse and patted him on the shoulder, and then ran towards the city with a team of cavalry composed of more than thirty big knights. It's just that the outfit of the captain of the soldier who is the leader of Lokas looks very prominent and nondescript against the background of more than thirty knights.

Looking at Lokas, who was staggering away with the cavalry, Chen Kai had the urge to punch him in the face, thinking that he would send all the IOUs to Bass when he passed by the post office. It will be interesting to see if Locas will be collected by Bass by then.

It's just that Chen Kai finally obediently rented a four-pin-drawn high-end carriage, and bought a lot of food and water from a passing food store. Dried bacon and hard bread were placed in the back of the carriage, and the smell of bacon gave the whole carriage a hint of smoke.

When Chen Kai drove the carriage to the north gate of Ephira, he saw a huge wild boar in a cage, the metal made of which was at least the thickness of the mouth of a bowl. Each metal rod had numerous spell words and light on it, and most importantly, the cage was also wrapped with numerous purple-black thorns.

The brambles with their black spikes looked like thin daggers, suspended and wrapped around a huge cage. Looking at the few druids standing on the edge of the cage, Chen Kai knew that the thorns should be the products of the druids' spells.

Judging from the rich black aura on the huge boar's body and the pair of black horns that burned with flames, Chen Kai could determine that the huge red boar should be the former mercenary guild mission administrator, the unlucky Hamm who had gone wrong for the mission. It was stunned by the Grand Druid Tyral with a single paw, and at this moment it was guarded by four druids and more than 3oo soldiers waiting at the north gate of Ephira.

After seeing Chen Kai coming in a carriage, before Chen Kai could get closer, a group of soldiers came over with long swords and shields. The strength of almost every soldier was around the 7th order, and looking at the muscles that rose up, Chen Kai felt that if he had any strange or hostile movements, it was estimated that these soldiers would cut him directly.

But fortunately, just as the group of soldiers was about to approach Chen Kai's carriage, more than a dozen carriages began to slowly come out of Efila City, and Lokas was now riding his sleepy horse that was walking and shaking in front of the convoy.

After seeing the carriage driven by Chen Kai, Lokas's dozing face immediately became refreshed, and the war horse rushed to the side of the carriage as soon as he urged the horse to sit down. He didn't make any moves, but in a flash he opened the carriage door and went inside, and then there was an unusually dull snoring sound from inside. And his war horse, after his master had entered the carriage and fell asleep, followed the carriage alone and nibbled on a bag of oats.

The group of soldiers obviously knew Lokas and his horses, and soon stopped after seeing Lokas flash into the carriage and fell asleep, and greeted Chen Kai, who was sitting in the carriage, and left.

"The stinky man follows the last carriage, we have to send that hapless Hamm to Jahamm first" When the group of soldiers returned to the edge of the metal cage, Lokas's dull snoring quickly stopped, and a clear voice came from Lokas's mouth to Chen Kai's ears.

The huge team outside Efila City began to start slowly, and the thirty or so big knights that Chen Kai had seen were divided into two teams at this time, one team led the way in front of the metal cage, and the other team was at the back of the team, that is, behind Chen Kai's carriage.

"Escorting a pig doesn't need such a big battle" Looking at more than three hundred soldiers of about the seventh order, neatly lined up in a huge phalanx and walking in front and back of the entire convoy, Chen Kai felt very strange, but then when he saw the huge wooden box next to Lokas sitting in the carriage, Chen Kai understood why he needed such a big battle.

"Does Mentor Lokas need so many people to deliver this?" Looking at the box that looked similar to the inside of the space button, Chen Kai couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you know the best things you shouldn't know?" Lokas placed the huge wooden box in the middle of the carriage, a position where he could look at it at any time.

"Hmm" Chen Kai replied softly, but when his right hand just wanted to slap the belt buckle where the space button was placed, he suddenly stopped and slapped his space bracelet instead. It's just that when Chen Kai wanted to open the space bracelet for Lokas to take a look, Lokas directly stopped him and waved his hand to let him stay outside the carriage.

"This guy is very good, I know that even you lie" When Chen Kai left the carriage, a turquoise jade dragon crawled out from under the seat of the carriage, and this jade dragon climbed onto the seat very quickly and rolled comfortably.

"Lord Tyral has wronged you," Lokas looked at the jade dragon opposite with a respectful face at this time, and gave a knightly salute to the beautiful jade dragon.

"It's okay, but is this really going to work? Let a guy who is less than the fourth order send something? Tyral's paws flapped against the huge wooden box placed in front of him, and for a moment the whole carriage fell into a deathly silence, and it was not until a long time before a sigh from Lokas was heard.

"I can only try my luck" Lokas's eyes flashed with fear and worry, he knew the weight of the contents of the box, and if something went wrong, even if he traded his own life, he couldn't get it back. There were at least a dozen boxes of this kind in the entire convoy, and each one was guarded or held by personnel of different strengths.

After returning to the carriage, Chen Kai quickly took over the reins from Su Xinghe, which was more comfortable than riding on a war horse. Of course, if he could stay in the carriage, it is estimated that Chen Kai would be more comfortable, but compared to the guards who escorted the cage car with two feet, Chen Kai felt much happier.

But in fact, the degree of walking of those guards was not slower than that of Chen Kai's carriage, on the contrary, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the whole team, the degree of the carriage was not as good as that of those guards walking on the ground. A long procession meandered towards the Jaw Ham in the center of the Great Wasteland, but this Jaw Hamm was not on the map, and Chen Kai could not learn about this journey from the mouths of the knights around him.

However, judging from the fact that those soldiers and knights were holding their weapons tightly, Chen Kai felt that this journey might not be too smooth, of course, maybe Chen Kai was too suspicious. But if the journey goes well, it won't be enough to form a lying corpse and lie in ambush in the carriage.

Looking at the carriages composed of players, plus Bao Buping, who was sitting in one of the carriages and driving out, Chen Kai slowly asked everyone to prepare some weapons and spells that could be used instantly. From chatting with Bao Buping, Chen Kai slowly learned that among the fifteen carriages, each carriage had at least nearly 3oo players lying down, and the carriage of the carriage was specially made and could be quickly deployed.

As long as the players communicate properly, at least 1,500 players can rush out of the wagon in less than half a minute, inflicting surprise damage on incoming enemies. And it wasn't the player who came up with this method, but Locas, who was lying in the carriage and didn't know what to do.

I don't know what enemy Lokas is worried about, but he needs to worry about so many battle players above level 3. Almost all of the players involved in the missions are almost quasi-pros, and they are all equipped with survival pods that can enter the game at any time to participate in combat.

What surprised Chen Kai the most and wanted to know was how Lokas organized so many players, and let them obediently obey the arrangement to stay in the life support cabin and sleep at any time to accept the call of their companions in the game to enter the game.

However, Chen Kai only paid a little attention to these things for a while, and was immediately attracted by other things, because the road he was choosing now was not any of the roads marked on the map, but a road that did not appear on the map after passing through the extremely rare adjacent beach in a large wasteland.

In other words, once Chen Kai and the others continue to move forward, if they don't get the map, they will get lost in the next road. Of course, Chen Kai didn't need to worry about leading the way now, what he had to do now was to observe the black shadows around him that suddenly appeared and disappeared.

These black figures, which had slowly appeared since the entire convoy had left the city limits of Efila, had been hovering several kilometers away from the entire convoy. Hanging from afar at the back of the convoy to observe, and often glance at the direction and then disappear quickly without stopping for more.

No matter how many times the big knights made a move, they couldn't catch up with the disappearing black shadows, and in the end, these knight commanders on war horses began to ignore the black shadows that were tracking, and quietly rode on their war horses to protect the entire team.

After leaving Efila Kilometer, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Kai no longer knew where he was now. And the spell pointer in the backpack also appeared in a strange chaos at this moment, and it was impossible to point out the direction at all, as for those black shadows following the team, there were at least thirty at this moment.

"Camp" With a roar from one of the leading knights, the entire convoy quickly stopped and formed a huge circular formation. In the center of the formation was the huge prisoner cart, and the hapless Hamm boar inside could only make a snorting sound.

On the periphery of the formation, the high-ranking soldiers quickly knocked down one huge stake after another, forming a simple blocking formation. These wooden stakes were scattered and orderly planted outside the camp, and some of the stakes were directly separated from each other, about twenty or thirty centimeters, and some were only a few centimeters apart. The blocking array composed of the entire wooden stake can effectively block the charge of the war horse and the entry of the enemy, of course, it can only be blocked.

After the stakes were hammered, there was soon a campfire in the camp, accompanied by the smell of broth and bacon that gradually wafted out.

"Mentor Locas has eaten" Chen Kai gritted his teeth and knocked on the door of the carriage, in fact, what he wanted to do more was not to bring these food to Lokas, but to beat Locas with a big stick. He thought that Buzz was a bastard enough, but he didn't expect Locas to be even better than him, and he hadn't woken up from his sleep all the way to the end of the afternoon, and he could even hear his earth-shattering snoring outside the carriage.

Only when he opened the carriage door he froze, for it was not Lokas who was snoring in the carriage, but a one-man emerald dragon. Except for the emerald dragon lying on top of the box and snoring, there was no Lokas in the carriage.

Looking at the somewhat familiar appearance of the jade dragon in front of him, Chen Kai's mind flashed that huge figure all of a sudden. "Thai... Tara... Terral" Chen Kai stammered the name of the jade dragon in his mind, and then suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder.

"What did you call me for?" Lokas bit a piece of dough wrapped bacon and patted Chen Kai on the shoulder and asked, but his tap almost didn't scare Chen Kai to death in a sluggish state.

"It's already started eating" When Chen Kai was so frightened by Lockas that he almost jumped up with a plate, an old and familiar voice came from the carriage, and the plate of food in Chen Kai's hand was grabbed by a pair of emerald green claws.

"Your Excellency Tyral, you're awake," Lokas greeted the owner of the pair of green paws who had taken Chen Kai's plate very respectfully, and then dragged Chen Kai out of the carriage and closed the carriage door.

"How is Lord Tyral in the carriage?" After being dragged away from the carriage by Lokas, Chen Kai slowly recovered from his surprise, but as soon as he asked a word, Lokas gagged his mouth with a piece of bread to prevent him from asking.

"Did you see anything strange?" Holding a slice of bread and slowly smearing peanut butter on it with a knife, Lokas asked Chen Kai slowly.

"There are a lot of dark shadows that don't know if it's a human or a monster peeking from a long distance, but every time the knight commanders go to chase after them, they don't see anyone." Chen Kai took out the bread stuffed in his mouth, and answered Lokas's question after a few babes.

"It's okay, those guys are probably coming for that pig," Lokas said, pointing to the wild boar that was firmly locked in the cage, listening to Lokas's words, Chen Kai suddenly appeared, as if every time those dark shadows appeared, the most nervous were those druids, not soldiers and knights.

"Why..."Chen Kai just wanted to ask Lokas why the target of those black shadows was Hamm, when a huge alarm bell suddenly appeared in the camp, and several black figures rushed from outside the camp towards Hamm's location, and rushed straight over.

A dark shadow stepped on Chen Kai's carriage as he rushed towards Hamm, and then jumped from the roof of the carriage again and rushed towards the location of the cage.

"Get out of the way, the old man doesn't want to hurt anyone, I just want the heart of the pig," with a loud whistling sound, the first black shadow quickly approached the location of Hamm, and stabbed the boar in the cage with a weapon, but before the long sword could stab the boar, the two druids were forced to retreat.

A dozen black shadows in black hoods and black clothes quickly got into a fight with the guards and the druids, but both sides were more restrained and almost didn't kill each other. At least that's how Chen Kai sees it, because the combat power of those black-clothed men is obviously much higher than that of the guarding druids and soldiers, even those big knights are not as strong as the individual combat power of these black-clothed people.

It's just that these black-clothed people are more hands-on, and their purpose is very simple, they are all lying in the cage Hamm. And judging from the words of the black clothes who shouted out first, their purpose was Haham's heart. But Chen Kai didn't understand why these men in black wanted Hamm's heart, after all, even if Hamm's unlucky mission administrator was now a pig, its body was still a person.

"Hey, they are all strong people whose life is about to come to an end, I didn't expect them to get the news so quickly" Looking at the black-clothed men who began to be surrounded by many soldiers and knights and forced back, Lokas sighed slowly, and vigorously raised the wine bottle in his hand and poured it into his mouth.

Listening to Lokas's words, Chen Kai felt very strange how those black-clothed people got in touch with the strong people who had reached the end of their lifespan. When Chen Kai turned his head and wanted to ask, he threw a thin booklet from Lokas's hand, and the first sentence on the page made Chen Kai understand why these men in black had a heart.

"An important material for the heart of the Purgatory Soul Eater Pig, it brings together the soul and life essence of the whole body of the Purgatory Soul Eater Pig, which has a very strong effect, and can prolong life after being refined into medicine."
