I'm sorry -
"Why do we need to climb so long to go to other people's houses?" Chen Kai looked at the Altinis City Lord's Mansion, which was still out of sight, and sighed, because he had been climbing this staircase for nearly two hours.

"I didn't let you follow, you want to follow up yourself, pull me quickly, why is this staircase getting higher and higher" Otto stretched out his hand towards Chen Kai and said, in fact, it was not that the stairs had become higher, but that he no longer had enough body to climb up again.
"If I don't come, you won't be able to climb up," Chen Kai grabbed Otto's hand and dragged him up, and the mage's thin body was quickly dragged up the stairs by Chen Kai. By this time, the two of them had climbed to half the height of the entire staircase, and through the observation window on the side of the staircase, they could clearly see the ground thousands of kilometers below.
"This tree is really tall enough," Chen Kai said slowly, looking at the faint clouds surrounding the edge of the big tree, in fact, the first thing that all players who saw Altinis thought of was the World Tree in that ancient game, or the building wood in Chinese myths and legends.
However, compared to the mythical trees that are said to connect the sky, or the number of worlds that give birth to gods, Altinis just seems to be relatively high. There is nothing magical special about it, it neither gives birth to gods nor connects to the kingdom of gods where the gods are located.
"Nonsense, three thousand three hundred and thirty-three meters high, damn it, why are they all three instead of two" Otto slowly leaned against the huge tree pole, he was too tired. As a mage, the value has always been the weakness of the mage profession, so he can't be compared to Chen Kai at all. After climbing nearly half of the stairs, he was able to stand up straight and speak.
"By the way, isn't Cenarius unable to fly? Wouldn't he have to climb the stairs every day from now on? Chen Kai suddenly thought of this question, because Cenarius is said to be the only guy in the legend who can't fly.
"That's why I wondered, ~ he can't fly, why does he live so high" Otto stuffed food into his mouth, he felt very relaxed talking to Chen Kai, and he could say whatever he wanted.
"Do you think I want to? It's not Terral, and if it hadn't made the nest so high, I wouldn't have climbed the stairs for an hour a day," Cenarius' soft voice came slowly, and the entire staircase slowly lit up with a hazy green light.
"Your Excellency the Great Druid" Chen Kai and Otto stood up at the same time and saluted Cenarius respectfully, and at the same time, the other party also waved his hand lightly to signal that there was no need to be polite.
"I already know what you're here for, Tyral doesn't like to be in charge, but he still has a lot of surveillance in the Great Rift Valley," Cenarius said softly, but he added in his heart. "It's just too expensive to use every time!"
"Your Excellency the Great Druid, you know, then my mission is complete. Lord Cukalo expects you to send reinforcements to clear the way through the Great Rift Valley," Otto respectfully put his hand on his chest and bent towards Cenarius.
"Although I would love to send manpower, there are not too many people in the whole of Altinis, after all, there are very few garrisons of the Hansting Empire here. And those druids have already been sent out to find the bones of the two legends, and I can't send many people to the storm post until they come back," Cenarius sighed, and then slowly walked towards the ground of Altinis with Chen Kai and Otto.
"Actually, I'm the only one I can send out aid now," Cenarius said, pointing to the dozen or so hideous-looking mercenaries in front of him, and the smell of blood emanating from them gave the impression of turning and fleeing when they saw them.
"The Blood Rain Mercenary Regiment accepts the call of His Excellency the Great Druid" One of the dozen or so mercenaries saluted Cenarius, and Chen Kai could see that one of the eyeballs in the swordsman's eye socket was filled with a magic eye.
Looking at the eyeballs that kept turning and emitting green spell light, Chen Kai suddenly had a feeling that he was being targeted by a hungry wolf all the time. A strong smell of blood slowly drifted towards his nose, and then Chen Kai seemed to see a sea of blood gradually surrounding his body.
"Huhu~~" Chen Kai's body slowly propped up on the ground, of course, he didn't want to lie on the ground, but when the murderous aura around his body dissipated, he involuntarily collapsed to the ground. Compared to Chen Kai, Otto has completely softened to the ground.
"Harun, you're scaring people again" Cenarius looked at Chen Kai and Otto who were lying on the ground gasping and sighed, in his opinion, it was a very good thing that Chen Kai and Otto could hold on for so long. After all, that murderous aura, even as a legend, would feel a tremor rising from the bottom of his heart, which was no longer a murderous aura that could be described.
"Your Excellency the Great Druid, these two boys are not bad, do they have a mercenary group, why don't you join us directly in the blood rain" Harun's green magic eye swept over Chen Kai and Otto's bodies, making Chen Kai and Otto, who were still on the ground, couldn't help but shiver.
"I'm sorry to wait until this mission is completed, and it's not up to me to decide whether the two of them will go or not, this mission is a bit daunting, so I hope you can take these travelers with you," Cenarius pointed to the hundreds of players not far away who were scared like quails by the murderous aura, and those were the auxiliary troops that Cenarius had originally arranged.
However, looking at the appearance of those players, Senarius sighed, the Blood Rain Mercenary Group was the best mercenary group he had found in Altinis. It's just that their murderous spirit is so heavy that many employers don't dare to hire them.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find anyone this time, Cenarius wouldn't want to hire them, as they would have frightened the other auxiliaries, such as the Travelers. In fact, the Blood Rain Mercenary Group had already frightened those players, because several of them were already planning to retreat-
In the afternoon of the same day—
Even if Chen Kai didn't want to admit it, he felt that he should squat with that group of players, instead of following the Blood Rain Mercenary Group like Otto. There was always a trace of cold murderous aura around him, although it was not released with his goal, but this murderous aura always made Chen Kai feel trembling all over his body.
However, Chen Kai wanted to get out at this time but couldn't get out, and the leader of the Blood Rain Mercenary Group, One-Eyed Harun, strongly invited him and Otto to join the mercenary group. His chattering mouth reminded Chen Kai of a goblin master who was hiding in a hole in the ground in a flexible state.
In fact, Chen Kai wanted to take out a plaster and stick it directly to the other party's mouth, but unfortunately he basically couldn't beat the other party at the moment. Especially the bloody fighting spirit of the Blood Rain Mercenary Group, that is the terrifying power that condenses the fighting blood qi into a fighting spirit, and that kind of rich murderous aura alone can make Chen Kai lose his combat effectiveness.
"How can there be such a perverted vindictiveness, no wonder they are all hungry and have no money to eat, they must have scared their employers away," Chen Kai muttered while riding on Ral's back while playing with Harun haha.
As for Xu Fei, they were mixed in with the other players at this time, not because they didn't want to join Chen Kai, but because they were frightened by the murderous aura of the Blood Rain Mercenary Group. In fact, they just didn't want to be nagged by that one-eyed Harlan like Chen Kai.
That's how Chen Kai was nagged by Harlan all the way to the storm sentry, and the journey was extremely difficult. Of course, it was just Chen Kai and Alto, the two unlucky guys, and the other players followed behind the butt of the Blood Rain Mercenary Group like a tour of the mountains and rivers, and basically didn't make a move.
In fact, they have nothing to do, and the trade routes of the Great Rift Valley have always been patrolled by soldiers. Occasionally, some small animals go to the trade road, but they just ask for food from passing merchants, and they don't hurt people, and there is a murderous blood rain mercenary group in front, and basically those animals dare to come over to beg for food.
But even so, when Chen Kai and the others arrived at the Storm Outpost, it was already two days later, and compared to when Otto was hung back to Altinis, the former twin Sentry Posts were completely unworthy of their name.
The sentry posts on the side of the Altinis direction have completely lost their original appearance, and the two watchtowers that are more than ten meters high have been reduced to ruins. The tip of the top of the tower disappeared beneath the large crack, and the walls on the sides showed numerous chips and breaks.
When Chen Kai and the others walked into the sentry, they were greeted not by the soldiers guarding the sentry, but by the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow that were fired from the opposite side. The huge crossbow bolt pinned a player to the ground with a terrifying screech, and then everyone understood how the half-meter-deep hole in the ground came from.
At the same time, the crossbow bolt was like a signal, and in less than half a minute, more than a dozen crossbow arrows began to fall towards the ground. Accompanied by screams, several players were sent back to their hometowns without seeing the enemy, while several players were injured by extreme alongside, either with broken hands or legs.
"Damn, which bastard would dare to shoot arrows at our Blood Rain Mercenary Group" A huge voice instantly drowned out the player's screams, and at the same time, a wisp of blood-red fighting qi began to slowly rise around it, like a red flame. Chen Kai knew who was the one who roared, and Harun was called the two major nagging ghosts of blood rain.
"Shut up Saxon, be quiet," Harlan roared in an even louder voice, so loud that the entire sentry could hear it clearly.
"Damn the one-eyed dragon, why do you make Lao Tzu quiet, you are louder than I shouted" As a member of the Blood Rain Mercenary Group, the Saxons do not have the slightest respect for the head of the group, Harun, in fact, all the members of the Blood Rain Mercenary Group have no respect for the head of the group, Harun. Because the leader of the Blood Rain Mercenary Regiment was fought with his fists, Harun only became the leader after he relied on his fists to beat others into pigs' heads.
So for the Saxons, Harlan is just a bigger fist than him, and one day when his fist is bigger than Harun, he will be the head of the Blood Rain Mercenary Regiment. Of course, at this time, Saxon also knew that it was not the time to quarrel, and immediately quieted down after shouting that voice, quietly waiting for the crossbow arrows in the air to disappear.
"Boss, isn't this a dismount?" Fei Yun slowly climbed to Chen Kai's side and asked, at this moment, everyone was tightly nestled under the parapet wall in the sentry, dodging the huge crossbow arrows that fell like raindrops. Some bolts hit the wall and instead of sticking to it, they fell and hit the player hiding below.
"Are you scared?" In addition to being nagged by Harun these days, Chen Kai has also been working hard to exercise his body and master the strength after promotion, after all, these strengths, fighting spirits, and body will not dissipate with the passage of time until they are thoroughly mastered.
"No, but I was almost *killed" Fei Yun scratched his neck, which was swept by the tail of the crossbow arrow and almost broken.
"It's okay if you're not dead," Chen Kai muttered softly, and then heard the sound of a stone being hit from the wall behind him, and then saw a crossbow arrow with a thick bowl mouth only coming out of his ear, and the huge impact made his head buzz.
When Chen Kai finally recovered from his faint situation, the crossbow attack disappeared. Voices began to appear in the entire camp, of course, not the voices of Chen Kai and his group of reinforcements, but the voices of the original troops in the storm outpost.
"One-eyed ghost, are you dead, if you don't die, come out to Lao Tzu, I know you're here, damn it, I'll ask you as soon as you arrive, you smell bloody" Lokas's voice gradually reached Chen Kai's ears, and it was only then that Chen Kai understood that Locas and Harun knew each other.
"White-haired ghost, your kid is still alive" Harlan looked at Lokas's white hair and understood the identity of the other party, that silver-white hair is a unique symbol of Locas.
However, when Chen Kai thought that the two would have a more touching scene of friends meeting, the development of things exceeded Chen Kai's expectations. I saw the two sides running past each other at a very high speed, and then I heard a collision, and the fists of both sides smashed together.
"Boom" was like a thunderclap, Chen Kai tightly covered his ears and let the huge impact sound slowly subside. But the two bulls swung their fists again and again and smashed together, like two piledrivers colliding with each other.
Fierce wind pressure continued to generate as the two men approached their fists, and the rolled stones hit the surrounding walls like bullets. So that the others had to hide under the city wall again, and the province was beaten into a sieve by the attack of the two.
However, they only hid for a while, and soon the dwarf Kukalo escaped, ignoring the entangled Lokas and Harun. Just taking the others and starting to build a defensive wall near the Great Rift, in fact this is the main job of most players here, and the largest number of casters among the players are also Earth Mages.
When they reached the side of the Great Rift, Chen Kai and the others finally knew who had cut off the trade routes of the Great Rift Valley, and left three 30-centimeter-long scars on Lokas's back. The short figure who was building the city wall on the watchtower opposite and the numerous figures carrying arrows told Chen Kai that the opponent was obviously a type with a large number of people.
Those creatures that were extremely similar in size to goblins, but even more hideous and terrifying, were the species that Chen Kai had seen for the first time. But he is so familiar with them that every player will see them for the first time after entering the Adventurers' Guild.
"Bandits of the Abyss", "Dregs of the Earth", "Lackeys of the Devil" are the names given to them by adventurers and mercenaries, and these creatures are the Movics who have been defined by the Adventure Guild as the greatest cancer beneath the earth.
They have lived in underground caves for generations, living on underground creatures, and of course running up to the surface to loot when they don't have enough food to eat. Of course, these are not the main ones, their bad reputation is due to their close proximity to demons, and they are the main force of the demon cannon fodder army almost every time they fight against demons.
The Mobik population is so large that even rats have to give way. They live in family units, each family has the smallest population of hundreds of people, and the largest family can reach the scale of tens of thousands, which can be said to be the cannon fodder race with the largest population base and number of warriors in the entire underground world.
But what makes Chen Kai most strange is their way of fighting, no matter what kind of record the Movics are synonymous with fools and fools, they will only rely on a huge number of ferocious attacks. But at this moment, the Movics with huge black eyes and dark skin on the opposite side are relying on the city walls to defend, and they are also attacking with bed crossbows.
"It seems that the information of those adventurers' guilds is not necessarily true," Chen Kai said as he squatted behind a low wall and held a telescope, and behind him, several earth elemental mages were gritting their teeth and casting spells. The dry elemental energy around the Great Crack made all the mages extremely depressed, and it cost twice as much magic to cast a spell that turned mud into stone.
And that's not the most troublesome, the Movics who keep throwing spears in this direction are the biggest headaches for the Earth Elemental Mages. Even when protected by other players, the sharp throwing guns will still stick in their hands. If the player assisting in the defense is resisting the iron shield, it is okay, at most it will be hung on the shield through the iron shield, and if it is a wooden shield, then the iron will definitely be broken along with the shield.
This is another headache for the Movics, amazing strange powers. They are one-third or even one-half the size and height of a normal human reminder, but they have more than half the strength of a normal adult man. And as their level increases, this strange power also rises, and at level 40, they have terrifying power comparable to that of level 60 professionals.
And at this moment, those Movics on the opposite side, according to Otto's surviving teammates, are almost all mid-level swordsman-level monsters. In other words, they are almost all in their 60s, so their strength is almost comparable to that of 80 or even 90 characters.
Therefore, even Zhao Tiezhu, who was wearing heavy armor, was not sure if he could use the shield in his hand to block those spears that broke through the air, so many earth elemental mages were careful to lie on the ground and cast spells. Although this is a bit rubbing, and the chance of casting a spell failure is high, it is better than being shot into a hornet's nest.
In fact, after three Earth mages in a row, along with the warriors protecting them, were shot through with spears thrown at them, all of them lowered their heads and nestled behind the dirt and rocks that had been piled up to cast Earth Elemental spells. No one wants to be carried down, and it's the kind that doesn't necessarily save them.
Looking at the earth elemental mages who were carried down one by one and declared hopeless, Kukalo's face was unusually gloomy. Even though he knew that all earth elemental mages were travelers who could be resurrected, his heart was not good. Lokas and Harlan were also standing behind Kukalo with blue noses and swollen faces at this time, and there was nothing they could do about the strong people who threw spears and were saint-level powerhouses of the Movic people, because there were too many of them.
For the first time, when the three of Lokas, Kukalo and the other three rushed into the opposite sentry with the soldiers guarding the sentry, they saw thousands of Movics. These underground creatures that came out of nowhere were like a huge tide that directly knocked the three Saint-rank powerhouses out of the sentry, and after that, they never set foot on the opposite watchtower again, but were almost occupied by the other party The entire storm sentry post.
In this kind of elemental suppression area, even the strength of the Saint Rank powerhouse will be suppressed to the extreme, and here Lokas their strength is only slightly higher than that of an ordinary Saint Rank powerhouse. Therefore, surrounded by thousands of 8th-order and even 9th-order monster monsters, even the powerhouses of the Holy Rank are bound to fall.
Therefore, under the suppression of the huge number of Movics, Lokas and they could only stand in the sentry post to block those Movics. What shocked Locas the most was the intelligence of those Movics, originally the Movics had low intelligence, in addition to strength and numbers, they were almost synonymous with rice buckets and cannon fodder, but in the past few days, the Movics have been surprising them constantly.
In addition to the constant firing of bed crossbows, there were a large number of throwing spears, the most terrifying of which were the Movic assassins. The Movics, who had learned the art of stealth and assassination nowhere, had already taken the lives of nearly twenty soldiers and a dozen spellcasters.
If it weren't for the fact that Lokas and they kept their eyes open day and night, it is estimated that before reinforcements arrived, all the scoring soldiers would have been killed by those Movic assassins. Even so, at this moment, there are dozens of wounded soldiers lying in the underground lounge of the sentry, some of whom are basically disabled in this life. There the wounded Binoche was always there to protect the soldiers from resting quietly.
