Chapter 369: Infiltration (3)

The cold north wind slowly blew from the north to the south, Chen Kai knew that it was the result of the melting of the terrifying ice field, and it would take a long time for the blue and white ice surface covering dozens of kilometers to completely melt, especially when these ice surfaces were still made of spells. Although Chen Kai didn't know what effect these cold winds would have on the swamp, he knew that it might make them freeze at night, especially Fei Yun, who was shirtless at the moment.

In fact, Chen Kai's worries are not unreasonable, although the player's body has become very strong under the effect of the system, but it still feels unusually cold under the cold wind at night, especially Fei Yun Moyan and a few unlucky people. The group lay shirtless on the cold ground, not daring to move even the uncomfortable rock under their stomachs. Not far from them, a group of twenty Force Demon patrols were walking slowly, and the sound of heavy footsteps made the ground tremble.

"Damn, don't look over, don't look over!" Mo Yan muttered in a low voice in the team channel, while his eyes stared at the force demon in front of him, because he was very unlucky to be in the position closest to the other party. The nearest force demon was less than a hundred meters away, and Mo Yan could smell the foul smell of the north wind blowing along the wind.

"Shut up! Lower your head and they've seen it! The dagger cursed in the team's channel, and then pressed his head into the dirt, while slowing his breathing and trying not to let his body fluctuate. At such a close distance, with the demon's eyesight, they could definitely see the unusual fluctuations on the ground, so several of them had to disguise themselves as raised mounds on the ground. Since it is a mound, it naturally cannot fluctuate, so you can only hold your breath to prevent your body from fluctuating because of your breathing.

Listening to the slow trembling of the terrible footsteps, everyone's hearts trembled with it, for the power demons were slowly approaching them. Mo Yan, who was closest to him, almost couldn't help but raise his head to confirm their location, but another voice was telling him that he must be calm and calm, and he must not raise his head. If he raises his head, he will not only kill himself, but also kill others.

Therefore, even when the demon's recent footsteps sounded less than ten meters away from him, Mo Yan didn't dare to move, although his face slowly turned pale because he was holding his breath, and even his health was falling due to lack of oxygen, but he didn't dare not want to move. It wasn't until the footsteps slowly faded away that the stone pressing on my heart really disappeared.

"Whew!!" Bursts of heavy wheezing slowly came from everyone's mouths, and they didn't want to let go of a trace of the air they inhaled into their mouths, even if they were bleeding because their lungs were squeezed too much. The feeling of suffocating and regaining fresh air made everyone happy, as they were still alive and had escaped a group of Force Demon patrols.

"Hey, hey! Mo Yan, are you okay? Fei Yun pushed Mo Yan hard, but found that the latter did not react at all, and when he turned Mo Yan over, he found that the other party had rolled his eyes. Due to the lack of appearance and the damage to his lungs, Mo Yan was suffocated and fainted, and if he didn't treat himself, he would suffocate himself to death.

"Damn! This decaying ghost is actually suffocating! Looking at Mo Yan's protruding eyes and dilated pupils, the dark dagger knew that Mo Yan was in a very dangerous state, if he didn't treat it in time, the unlucky Mo Yan might be sent back to the fortress again, and he was extremely aggrieved and sent back after suffocating himself.

"Ahem!" After a period of scramble for first aid, Mo Yan let out a coughing sound in his throat, and then slowly opened his closed eyes, but at this moment he looked more miserable A small piece of lung was sticking to his mouth, and at the same time, some blood foam continued to flow out of his mouth. But the only good news was that his health stopped declining and slowly stabilized.

"Damn! Mo Yan, you decrepit person, why did you almost suffocate yourself to death? A kilometer away from the original incubation area, Fei Yun beside him asked him when Mo Yan kept pouring medicine for internal injuries into his mouth.

"Don't mention it! I was unlucky enough to choke on saliva while holding my breath and almost coughed out, and then it happened that the power demon was right next to me. Do you think I can cough it out? As a result, you know what happened later, *** my lung lobes are damaged, what bad luck! Mo Yan could only speak through the guò team channel at the moment, and every time he took a breath, his lungs would be constantly aching and accompanied by coughing, and every cough would spurt out a trace of blood. In order not to let the smell of blood be captured by the demon, every time he coughed, Mo Yan had to use a piece of silk cloth to plug his mouth and stuff the coughed up into his backpack, so that he looked like a tuberculosis ghost.

“…… Character problem! Everyone marked Mo Yan with this sentence, and he could be held back by a mouthful of saliva like this, except for character problems, no one else really could think of any words to describe it, because this kind of unlucky Cheng dù was already similar to drinking cold water and plugging his teeth.

"That's it! Once you're rested, let's get on with it! We've been delayed for nearly ten minutes, and God knows that the next wave of patrols won't be in the distance right away, and we'll have to spend at least an hour searching for a place to hide and dig a place for those behind! The dagger slowly stood up from the ground, but immediately crouched down again, after all, the goal of standing up on this land was too obvious, and most of the time they ran with their bodies bent down and tried to keep their height down.

"Wait! We'll have to wait, look there! Just as they wanted to get up and continue to run, the aboriginal thief Kashgar suddenly pulled Fei Yun, who was getting up, and then pointed to the northern sky, where several black dots hidden in the dark clouds were slowly flying towards this side. Even if they don't use the Eagle Eye Telescope, Fei Yun can know what those things are, and in addition to the Demon Gate, except for the little demon who can fly, it is the Winged Demon, and there will definitely be no birds, so the people who originally wanted to leave immediately fell to the ground again.

"Damn! How did these damn bed bugs appear again, it's only been a few minutes, not even half an hour! Mo Yan was lying on the ground depressed, but now he could breathe freely, but the sound of his breathing needed to be softer. After all, the little devil's flight altitude is very high, and it is impossible to see clearly what is lying on the ground, of course, if Fei Yun and they stand up and move, they will definitely be discovered.

These little demons are undoubtedly much easier to hide than the Force Demon Patrols that roam around, as they don't land and just fly in a straight line in the sky. Unless Fei Yun and a few of them actively exposed their field of vision, such as running wildly on the ground, then even if they were covered in black dirt, they would be spotted and then enveloped in dozens of fireballs.

The little devils came and left quickly, and after recording the direction where they flew and marking them, Fei Yun and the others carefully raised their heads to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and then slowly stood up from the ground, and then quickly ran in one direction. They have always looked for raised mounds or rocks in the black moors, although in the swamps there are fewer rocks and more undulating hills and sunken miremire. Whether it was a quagmire or a hill, as long as they appeared, their path was carefully recorded, and everyone took a map to sketch down any places where they could hide at night, especially those that seemed to be able to hide several people, after all, the team behind them was not a dozen people but more than two hundred.

If it is only relying on the place where they are hiding now, let alone a hundred people, it is estimated that more than fifty people will not be able to hide, and they must also avoid the field of vision and patrol range of those patrolmen. In this regard, the old thief Kashgar fully taught them the ability of a good scout, and he only needed to look at the footprints to roughly determine the direction of the demon's patrol, and mark it on Fei Yun's map. At the same time, he could also deduce the direction they came from, as well as the path of patrolling, according to his calculation, Fei Yun found a lot of demon footprints to determine the accuracy of the calculation, so that they took a lot of detours and avoided a lot of risks.

However, it is not that the road of Kashgar is without any risks, in fact, no one knows if those demons will suddenly turn around, although most of the demons are stupid and like to patrol along the established roads, but there is no shortage of smart demons among the demons. According to Mo Yan's words, smart demons are all genetic mutants, they are even more disgusting garbage crawlers, and they are the most annoying things, because they will change their patrol route at any time, and even when they are about to walk over, they will suddenly turn back and circle around an area. This torture from the Smart Demon Patrol has kept everyone in the team nervous, because they don't know if there will be that kind of perversion in the next wave of patrols.

In this highly stressful situation, everyone's body was depleted very quickly, so the original plan to spend at least fifteen kilometers exploring in one night was completely declared bankrupt. After finding an abrupt rock and digging a hole underneath that could accommodate a person to enter and exit, Fei Yun and his team began to dig a cave to perch and rest. A cavern with a diameter of five meters that could hold a tent had been dug out of the stratum beneath the massive rock, and by the time they hurried into the tent to rest, the sky had already brightened on the plains around the Demon Gate. When the demons were out on their daily patrols, Chen Kai and the others also received a message from Fei Yun and them.

The two good news is that the black mud camouflage has an effect, at least so far the demons encountered have not found the disguised thieves, and they have dug up their first foothold and are ready to rest for a day before exploring. As for the bad news, even at night, the patrol strength of the demons is very terrifying, and in the territory around the Devil's Gate, there are not only small demons flying in the sky, but also demons walking on the ground, especially those disgusting garbage and crushing smart demons, they will suddenly change the direction of the patrol, making people feel depressed and frightened.

It can be said that the most dangerous to the player is not those demons that patrol regularly or the little demons flying in the sky, but these demons who don't know when they will suddenly change the direction of the patrol, because the number of players is so large that it may spread over a large area. The chances of encountering demons in this large area are far greater than those of Fei Yun and his small army of more than a dozen people, so Chen Kai and the others need to think carefully about how to avoid those demons who will change the direction of the patrol.

Chen Kai They didn't think about using battle to deal with such a demon, but that would inevitably expose their position, so this article was directly rejected the moment it was proposed. Because Chen Kai and the others didn't want to be surrounded by thousands of demons and then killed before they entered the central territory of the Demon Gate, any trace of the bloody smell of the battle would cause the demons to be alert, and then it would bring disaster to Chen Kai and all of them.

Considering the risk and the scope of the hiding points they had now obtained, Chen Kai and the others had to choose a way to disperse their forces, so that everyone could be divided into several small forces and infiltrate the territory of the Demon Gate in batches. This reduces the number of personnel so that the discovered hiding spots can be fully used without too many of them, and also reduces the number of unlucky people who are found in a team. In addition, Chen Kai and the others also asked Fei Yun to mark the range of activities they encountered when they encountered the smart demons, and try to bypass those areas when the troops behind them marched. While there is a danger of getting lost, as long as the two teams are no more than 10 kilometers apart, the system map can be used to generate a location marker on the map.

This will only appear after the player reaches level 40, and will slowly increase in distance as the level increases. However, this position mark is a vague approximate area direction, which is not completely accurate, so it must be constantly adjusted in motion, and the closer to the position of the target mark, the clearer it will be, and the direction will be roughly fixed at a certain position after reaching a range of one kilometer. Therefore, as long as Fei Yun and the others left a man in the camp under the rocks, then the later ones would not be in danger of getting lost, as long as they added him to the team when they set off again and marked the direction on their own map. Although the power of the system map gives players a lot of limitations, it also has a lot of convenience, such as sharing maps with the team.

Therefore, Chen Kai and the others were not worried that they would get lost in the dark night, but they were just worried that the demons patrolling on the road would change the direction and route of the patrol, after all, all the patrol soldiers Fei Yun and they only encountered it once, and they encountered it lying on the ground with their heads down. I don't know anything other than the number of them and the type of demon they belong to, so I don't know much about the next night's action.

Chen Kai was one of the second batch of people who set off, and at the same time, Van Kerry and Savasloki and Zhao Tiezhu also set off, and Su Xinghe and Xuehaifeng drew the third batch, that is, they set off an hour later. As for Su Wan, she was placed in the fourth batch along with other girls. Of course, it is also the largest group of protection personnel, and the remaining members of Van Clery's team have five fighters in their hands, all of whom are the safest team in this team.

Chen Kai and his group of forty-eight people were almost equivalent to four squads walking in the dark forest, although it seemed that only one day had passed, but this vegetation area located on the edge of the territory of the Demon Land seemed to have passed several years. The rate at which the trees are aging and decaying is extremely alarming, and the withered grass and trees on the ground are terrifyingly suffocating, and the grass leaves that were a little green last night have completely turned into rotten leaves that are yellow and black today.

Those ** leaves can still stay fresh last night, and when you step on them, they will leave a trace of green grass juice under your feet, but tonight they can only turn into patches of fly ash. All the moisture was absorbed by an unknown force and disappeared into the air along with their life. This fear of unknown power made Chen Kai and the others understand why the thieves who infiltrated the territory of the Demon Gate to fetch the black soil would have a feeling of prostration every time they came back, which was caused by the mental fear of coming here. When the trees that you saw not long ago suddenly turn into black branches the next time you visit, it is difficult and frightening to accept the change.

They hurriedly walked and ran through the forest, trying not to make the slightest noise from their footsteps, and there were few other creatures in this terrible forest except demons. Therefore, when the group was running in the forest, they were very sad and unlucky to encounter a group of demon patrols, holding demon weapons, waving the long knife in their hands and moving quickly in the forest, and everything that stood in their way was destroyed. Of course, those demons didn't notice Chen Kai and them in the distance, because at this moment Chen Kai and his party were hiding in a swamp quagmire that was about to dry up, and their whole body was submerged in the quagmire, except for their heads exposed and breathing, everything else was tightly combined with the quagmire.

Of course, more than 40 people are crammed into a quagmire, which is a bit crowded, and although the quagmire is very large, almost hundreds of square meters, there are not many places where there is real water and can allow them to submerge into it, and more are dry and cracked soil. However, this quagmire is enough for everyone, because they mainly want to use the breath in the quagmire to hide the smell of people on their bodies, rather than hiding themselves completely. In this pitch black environment, unless they encounter the power demon head-on, they would be almost unrecognizable in their current outfit. All of them were lying on their stomachs in the mud, covered in thick mud and mud except for their heads, and they were only nearly seven hundred meters away from the Force's patrol, at a distance where the Force's vision was limited by the bushes and became very narrow. So as long as those power demons don't pee on the top of Chen Kai's head, it is basically impossible to see Chen Kai and his party.

It's just that sometimes accidents come suddenly when you don't pay attention, and it seems that this kind of accident is not very good for Chen Kai and them. Because this pair of demon patrols has creatures that have been turned into intelligent demons by Fei Yun and them, this kind of demon is not much different from other demons in terms of body, the only difference is that they are willing to use their brains. Such demons can go further on the path of evolution, as they will strive to master their own power and control the energy in their bodies, thus accumulating into a higher life.

The path of evolution of demons is always one-way, and when they evolve into a certain type of demon, the door of evolution will be closed, and only a very small number of demons with the will to evolve can continue to evolve into more advanced demons. Other demons can only rely on the accumulation of time to grow, and then through the accumulation of guò energy, they will step into the ranks of high-level demons, which will take a long time, although the most important thing for demons is time. A wise demon is not a low percentage of the entire demon race, because wisdom is only an accessory to the evolution of demons, it is just a matter of whether they are willing to use it or not. After the evolution, most of the demons were immersed in the powerful power and slowly forgot their wisdom power, so they fell on the road of evolution, and only a small number of demons who were willing to use their brains slowly mastered this power, but only to master and use it.

Just like the demon not far from Chen Kai and them at this moment, it is not much different from other power demons and is even in the position of being bullied, those tall power demons will bully it without scruples when they walk around, either come up and kick it or touch its butt obscenely. But it was this weak-looking bullied demon who almost found out where Chen Kai and them were hiding, and when it walked past the place where Chen Kai and his party had stood, it suddenly stopped, then lowered its head, picked up a clump of trampled grass on the ground under the surprised and frightened eyes of Chen Kai and them in the distance, and then put it to the side of its nose and sniffed.

Immediately afterwards, the power demon stood up in an instant, picked up his weapon, and looked around vigilantly, as if he was looking for something, and its gaze quickly locked on the quagmire where Chen Kai and them were hiding not far away, and then slowly and cautiously walked over. If nothing happens next, it is estimated that Chen Kai and they will be discovered by this team of demons, and then they will have to jump out of the quagmire and try to kill this team of nearly twenty demons.

When Chen Kai and the others were almost suffocating, a sturdy force demon suddenly rushed out of the team, and then kicked the force demon on the ass and dragged it back to the team. As the demon roared loudly in the abyssal language, everyone's hearts began to let go slowly, for they knew they had escaped. Using the system's translation, they can roughly hear the meaning of the other party's shouting, and the demon takes the demon who comes out as a deserter, and threatens to kill the other party if they leave the group again. Obviously, this clever demon is in a dominant position in the ranks, and for the demon the dominated has no say, and the only thing it can do is obey. Therefore, even if this demon found a trace of something strange, as long as the leading demon did not feel that it was a threat, then he would continue to ignore it and continue to follow the established patrol route, so after a few minutes, this group of demons slowly disappeared into Chen Kai's field of vision, becoming a hazy black spot in the distant forest.
