Chapter 112: In the Days Before the Return (1)

Life in Khedira passed quickly, especially when Mark Hedi returned to the city. Although the humans of Khedira found it very difficult to accept a lady who became their lord, when Nasari entered the temple several times without being killed by the Angel of Sunfire, the humans of Khedira began to understand that the demon queen was allowed by the goddess of life.biquge.info

Therefore, even though they were unusually resentful of Nasari's race, under the explanation of the Temple of Life and Mark Hedi's attendants, who are now the city guards, they slowly accepted the fact that a demon had become their master.

The day after Mark Hedi returned to Khedira, Chen Kai and the others set off for the wilderness again. It's just that unlike the last time they ran to fight the robbers, this time they followed a few guards from the City Lord's Mansion as nannies. In order to make the city guards of Khedira have the best combat effectiveness, and at the same time to increase the food reserves in the city of Khedira, Mark Hedi sent part of the city guards, consisting of several guards and Chen Kai, to form a hunting team. At the same time, he completely locked down the southern city, and relocated most of the residents who had moved into the southern city to the other three districts.

Mark Hedi wants to rely on this method to temporarily stop the thieves in the southern foothills from looting the residents, but in Chen Kai's opinion, this method is a palliative but not a cure, as long as there are robbers in Khedira, then Mark Hedi will never want to take back the southern foothills to the hands of Khedira City. At the same time, this retreating approach is also a disguised way to show the weakness of the city of Khedira to the bandits, which is in fact the case.

When Chen Kai and the others left Khedira with hundreds of trainee Templars and city guards, the entire city's defense force was directly reduced by half. Mark Hedi could only rely on an army of less than fifty city guards to defend against bandits who knew how many there were, which was no less difficult than a child holding a toothpick against an adult. Although the child holding the toothpick may be Superman, the strength of that adult may not be worse than Superman. Because there were still a large number of demons in the wilderness of Khedira, before Mark Hedi's strength was restored, he was just an ordinary demon lord. In this situation, Khedira does not have an advantage at all in high-end force. Although there is information that several demon lords who were once under Huligris have been devoured by demon beasts, those who died were all unlucky or weak. In Mark Hedi's opinion, the demons who survived must be very strong, and the number of demons far greater than Khedira is hundreds of thousands, even if the demon beasts can eat them all, it is impossible to eat them all, so there are at least two or three hundred thousand demons who have fled into the surrounding wasteland.

What worries Mark Hurdy the most is that, according to his wife, Verunica, the demons have built several small cities outside of Khedira. These cities are inhabited by some low-level demons and humans who work as hard laborers, but these cities are far away from Khedira, so they have not been discovered by Khedira's humans. On top of that, these cities are all underground, relying on the power of some demon mages to create a place like the magic greenhouse outside the mage tower to produce food, and even keep livestock in captivity as a storage power. Compared to the withering of Khedira's agriculture, the urban agriculture developed by the demons was unexpectedly more developed. Hearing Nasari's words made many of Khedira's high-level heads dizzy all the time. They had always thought that Khedira's two huge magic greenhouses were the most miraculous things in this plane, but they didn't expect that the demons would quietly build several magic greenhouses, and also kept wild beasts in captivity for meat and storage.

This kind of developed agriculture and animal husbandry is almost unacceptable to the originally complacent humans, because it means that even if the demons are driven out of Khedira, they will not starve to death, and on the contrary, the hidden demon cities with a large demon population will develop more vigorously. This is definitely not going to be a good thing for Khedira, so Mark Hydi had to announce a new round of urban renewal plans. On the basis of the reconstruction of the old town, three magic greenhouses were built from the ground up. It's just that the current Khedira is poor and white, not to mention building a magic greenhouse, and even repairing the original magic greenhouse was completed with the help of the little witch Chrissian, because the mages of the mage tower have long lost the technology to build a magic greenhouse.

Faced with this situation, the leader of the Mage Tower, the face of the ** Master Zoro twitched, and this was not entirely his responsibility, because the Magic Greenhouse was a collection of magical sciences that consumed a lot of materials and resources. While the Mage Tower still retains some of the information it used to build the Magic Greenhouse, the all-important means of protecting the magic circle and the wall structure against the evil aura of the outside world have been lost. However, the old mages also knew that Khedira did not need those two things now, because the temple that no longer radiated divine light all the time continued to expand the sacred realm in the daily prayers of the Khedira humans. In the area shrouded in the Divine Realm, the evil light of the sky disappeared completely, and the soil slowly became plantable under the influence of the Divine Power. Even because the soil has been invaded by evil forces for a long time, the fertility of the soil is extremely high after being purified by the divine power, which is very suitable for the growth of crops.

It's just that the only part of the soil that Khedira is purified is now close to the area around the temple, because this area has been shrouded in divine power for the longest time. The second is around the Mage Tower, probably because the little witch Chrissian used to stay here, and the divine aura that naturally emanates from her body unconsciously purifies the surrounding land. Therefore, the cost of building a magic greenhouse is not high for Khedira, but the only thing that is lacking is the materials for various arrangements to adjust the temperature and moisture. After cleaning up the Khedira Underground Castlevania, Mark Hedy finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although most of the demons had taken everything they could have taken with them, some of the magic materials were still kept, leaving a glimmer of hope for the mages of the Mage Tower. Of course, for Mark Hedi, the huge demon dungeon is a problem for the entire Khedira, because even Nasari, the queen of the sword demons, doesn't know how many exits the demon dungeon has, how many mechanisms there are, and how many secrets are hidden. Because when Huligris built the dungeon, it was not uniformly designed, but the area was demarcated for the demons in each area to build by themselves. As a result, each Demon Lord didn't know what the other Demon Lords were building on, and Nasari was able to know some of the areas because she had been to them, but she didn't know about the others.

So in fact, the threat to Khedira's city defense is not only the bandits outside the city, but also the demonic dungeon passages that don't know where to go underground. After Chen Kai and the others led the team to leave Khedira, it took Mark Hedi three days to clean up the demon dungeon less than a block, although he found a lot of magic materials, but there was no way to calm the city lord's mood. Although they found the materials to build almost three magical greenhouses in the space of three days, they also found a lot of evidence that demons had infiltrated Khedira. It's just that Khedira is now covered under the divine power of the goddess of life, these demons dare not openly go out into the sun, but Mark Hedi got a report that at least fifteen people have disappeared in the dark corners in the past three days, and one of them is a new city defender.

When Mark Hedi sent someone to search for the missing man, the only thing he found was a torn corpse, and looking at the fragments of weapons and armor scattered around, Mark Hedi knew that it was the missing city defense soldier. It's just that he was alive before he disappeared, and now he is a corpse full of flies. Looking at the corpse on the ground, Mark Hedy was extremely depressed. Although he was tempted to say that it wasn't the demons who killed the soldiers, it seemed that no other creature could do such a thing except the dreadclaw demons among the demons, judging from the paw prints and other scars on the corpses. At this time, Mark Hedi is the most headache for the devil to hurt people, because his fiancée Verunica has just integrated into the Khedira's family, but at this moment, the demon hurting people is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Mark Heddy.

In fact, if he had enough soldiers on hand, Mark Hedi would definitely not hesitate to send people into the demonic dungeon to clear it, but he found that he couldn't do that much. The demons themselves may not know how big the Khedira's demon dungeon is, but one thing Mark Heddy is sure of is that this dungeon can hold at least 100,000 people, and it is a hundred thousand demons that are larger than ordinary humans. Therefore, Mark Hedi can't fill the dungeon, a hole that may never be filled, he can only send people to clean up the area of the dungeon little by little, and let the dwarf ** Shi Kuishi use earth element spells to block the passages and secret passages in the dungeon, and only keep some main roads. In fact, Mak-Hedi was once asked to simply open the dungeon to civilians in the city of Khedira who had lost their homes, but Marc Heddy did not allow it.

While this will solve a large part of the housing problem, the dangerous demon dungeons will cause a lot of casualties to the humans of Khedira, and no one knows how many demons are hidden in those dark underground passages. So later, exploring the Khedira dungeon and cleaning it up became the most difficult task for the khedira, and there was no one. Even some would rather face the Hydias Sky Dragon, who holds the title of Lifeless Vacuum King, than explore a demonic dungeon where they don't know what they are. So you can at least know when you're going to die in the face of the Sky Dragon of Hedias, but in a maze of dungeons with no light at all, it's a luxury to even find a way out.

A team of unlucky players got lost in this maze for half a month, and when they committed suicide and left, they were sadly surprised to find that the exit was only a wall away from the place where they died. This happens many times later after the player enters the Khedira, as even the demon who built the dungeon himself may not be able to recognize the path inside. Of course, Chen Kai and the others had never entered this dungeon, so after leaving Khedira, when Chen Kai came back again, they wanted to try the dungeon maze, but they almost starved to death inside.

Of course, now Chen Kai is well-fed and hunting outside the city of Khedira, or it can't be called hunting but poaching. Because of the demonic beasts in the wilderness, they must be careful when hunting, if the smell of blood emitted by the prey will attract predators. Now the highest-ranking predators of Khedira are no longer demons and those demonic beasts, but the sky dragons and purgatory black dragonmons that scream and fly in the sky from time to time, as well as the demonic beasts that run wildly on the ground. After being attacked by two low-level demonic beasts in a row, whether it was those novice-level city guards and Templar Knights, or the guards and Chen Kai who were sent to be nannies, they all knew that the smell of blood in the wilderness was definitely deadly.

So the original hunting operation has become a poaching behavior like a thief, and the Khedira humans, who were supposed to be the masters of the wilderness, are now approaching those low-level magical beasts as carefully as poachers. They weren't afraid of these low-level demonic beasts counterattacking, because not only Chen Kai could easily kill these demonic beasts, but those guards could also do it. Apprentice Templars and City Guards, armed to the teeth, could do the same, but everyone feared that the smell of blood from the slain beasts would attract demonic beasts, and they would be in danger of death.

After all, the pressure brought to Chen Kai by those two low-level demon beasts was too great, more than a hundred soldiers armed to the teeth plus five swordsmen with a rank of more than eight ranks, plus Chen Kai and his group were almost crippled by those demon beasts. Ten soldiers were killed in that attack, one guard named Kuru was seriously wounded, and two dozen more were wounded. It can be said that the entire hunting team lost one-fifth of its combat strength in less than half a day after leaving Khedira City, and had to flee back to the city in wolves.

After summing up the lesson, Chen Kai and the others walked into the wilderness for the second time, and this time the guards and nannies sent by Mark Hedi increased by two, and at the same time transferred the wounded soldiers back to the city. Although the number of people has decreased, the hunting team that has suffered a loss has finally become cautious. The time of each battle is compressed to less than one minute as much as possible, and the time for disposing of the corpse of the monster is also compressed as much as possible, all the fur of the monster is abandoned, and the corpse is directly divided and stuffed into the space bag that serves as a storage bag.

Although this hunting method is very slow, the safety factor is much higher, and the most important thing is that Chen Kai and they don't have to worry about being attacked by demon beasts. Because before each hunt, they would repeatedly probe the surrounding situation, unless the demon beast launched an attack from the sky or underground, Chen Kai and they would definitely be able to find out. In fact, Chen Kai and the others later discovered that the number of demon beasts within a few dozen kilometers outside of Khedira City was actually not much, or the total number of truly living demon beasts was not many. Now many demonic beasts have actually moved away from the town, and it is difficult to see a trace of a demonic beast in the city's sphere of influence. Chen Kai and the others encountered two low-level demon beasts in just one day out of the city, which was undoubtedly the act of winning the jackpot.

Now Chen Kai is eyeing a demonic beast that has been called a Kora Cow, this kind of earth-based demonic beast that belongs to the unique Khedira plane is a relatively low-level being. Its rank is only the fifth order, and compared to other demonic beasts that are at least the sixth order, the strength of the Kola Cow is the worst. But even the worst of the Korah cattle are carnivores, and their well-developed teeth can easily tear through a thin piece of iron armor. At the same time, the horns on its head can easily pierce ordinary iron armor, and the most important thing is that it is very large, three meters long and eight meters tall, and weighs more than three tons. Once hit by such a creature, the outcome will not be much better than that of a car, and the worst thing is that the horns on its head are sharper than the car's bumper bar.

The reason why the level of the Kora Cow is not high, in Chen Kai's opinion, may be because the magic beasts it has mastered are very weak. The reason why Warcraft is called Warcraft is because most Warcraft have mastered one or two spells, and the reason why Kola Niu's spell is called Chicken Rib by Chen Kai is because just the Fire Tail Technique, which ignites the tail and turns into a torch, does not have much damage at all. Looking at the flicking flame tail, everyone basically wants to laugh every time they see it, and the so-called wounding oneself before hurting the enemy is probably referring to the situation of the Kola cow. The flaming tail didn't hurt the others at all, but it made the cow scream at the burn, and then dragged a flaming tail in pain.

It's just that the running Kola cow is also very difficult to deal with, its size is too large, but its running speed is not slow at all, so once it runs wild, the impact is very large. But because of this, this is also the reason why it is best to catch or even catch alive in Kola cattle, the wild bison has no resistance to the sudden mixing rope, especially when the mixing rope is still made of metal, it is impossible to even break the other party. Once Chen Kai and the others found the Kora cow, their favorite method was to send a person with fast legs to lure the other party around the rope trap after arranging the accompanying trap. The high-speed Kola cow likes to run with its head down against its horns, and its huge horns will block its view so that it cannot see the ropes rising from the ground, and the end result is usually that it will break its legs and feet and be captured alive, or it will fall to death because it is too fast.

At this moment, Chen Kai's Kola Cow was the eighth one they saw, and the record of capturing seven Kola Cows alive made the group very excited. After all, the Kola Ox is the best storage except for the fact that it likes to bite and eat meat, and there is no other animal in Khedira that has the speed of the Kola Ox at the same time as its size. For Chen Kai, the Kora Ox might be able to train a bull cavalry for Khedira, of course, before these behemoths were completely domesticated. However, he believes that with the means of several ** masters, domesticating these stupid cows is definitely a matter of hand. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that these creatures hadn't been domesticated for the time being and were too fierce, Chen Kai would really want to be a bull rider. Of course, compared to the appearance of Larlafeng, these cattle are too unbearable, except for the pair of horns, the difference between the other places and the real bison is too great......
