Chapter 375 (4)

"Boom" came from behind Chen Kai and the loud sound of the shockwave that came to tell Chen Kai that they had lost a companion again. In fact, many more ended up on the road to the Devil's Gate, acting as suicide attackers with the thunder cannon barrels allocated in their backpacks in order to buy time for the others, and also to die less painfully and humiliatingly.

One after another shells that had no harmful effect on the fire demon hit the opponent's body, just to stop its progress, and one after another fiery red fireballs with blood glow continued to light up in the wilderness, taking away the lives of some little demons who tried to take advantage. When Zhao Tiezhu activated more than two dozen thunder artillery pipe barriers, Chen Kai and the others saw the largest fireball they had ever seen, and it was probably the first time they had seen someone survive such a strong explosion. Zhao Tiezhu, who was carrying the shield, directly escaped from the explosion scene with his unskilled pace the moment he activated the thunder cannon tube, and his whole person almost flew out upside down, if it wasn't for Su Wan wrapping his waist around him with a chain and dragging him backwards when he escaped, it is estimated that he would still not be able to escape the fate of being engulfed by the flames of the explosion.

But even so, Zhao Tiezhu's was not necessarily much better, the armor on his body was pierced in several places by the fragments produced by the explosion of the thunder cannon barrel, and drops of red blood slowly penetrated from the wound to the outside of the armor. The most intact thing about Zhao Tiezhu's whole body is estimated to be the helmet protected by the shield and the upper body, even the thighs have been blasted out of several blood holes by the scattered fragments.

"Is the pillar okay?" Chen Kai carried Zhao Tiezhu's shoulders and dragged him forward with Su Xinghe, although through the team information in the system management, Chen Kai knew that Zhao Tiezhu didn't look miserable, but his health value was also nearly half of it, and his life was not in danger at all. It's just that both of his legs were pierced by the impact of the explosion, so Chen Kai was worried that he wouldn't be able to run.

"It's okay, it's a penetrating injury, you can stop it by drinking some healing medicine, it's really his ** pain" Zhao Tiezhu howled miserably, his face was pale, but he still drank the healing medicine in one gulp, although because of the pain, the healing medicine would continue to flow out of his coughing mouth, but it finally stopped the injury temporarily.

"But your kid is really lucky, the dagger kid ran so fast, he didn't even think about escaping, but you relied on the shield to resist it" Su Xinghe patted Zhao Tiezhu on the shoulder, carrying his arm, he and Chen Kai shared the weight of Zhao Tiezhu, although the speed could not be said to be fast, but after Zhao Tiezhu bought some time, they would not be caught up by the demon immediately.

"What is good luck, is the strength, I know no, I used the shield of the earth as the impact force, it is estimated that I have definitely chased the dagger, that kid ran to Antolo to drink tea, those few iron cans are really powerful, and they directly tore open my shield of the earth, forcing me to run away" Zhao Tiezhu began to run lame after trying the recovery of his legs, and followed Chen Kai and the two of them behind, and at this moment the manpower in the team has been reduced from nearly two hundred to more than one hundred and fifty people, Even Van Clery, one of the other Aboriginal warriors, lost a warrior named Faanse.

However, the power of the warrior's final death made everyone have a more intuitive understanding of the crystal hanging on Van Crane's chest, they never thought that the explosion could become so brilliant and terrifying at the same time, it was a gift flower detonated with soul power and the brilliant brilliance of a person's last moment. Watching the warrior named Faanse pull out a moment of thumb-sized crystal from his chest, everyone knew what he was going to do, especially when his legs were pierced and dragged up to the sky by the little devil with a fork, and everyone knew what this middle-aged man with a goat's mustache would choose.

In contrast to the scenario where the player has no souls left after death, the souls of the aborigines will be led to the kingdom of God by their respective gods or directly into the world of death of Antolo, where they will be destroyed, but there is another most terrifying way for the soul to be consumed by demons. Humans whose souls are devoured by demons will become food for the demons to grow, and at the same time, their memories will be obtained by the other party and become the source of the opponent's power. Angelovas Crystal is an extreme method created by Demon Gate researchers after a long period of research and exploration, and the demon dies together, using the fighting spirit to remain in Angelovas Crystal to become a stable dìng energy as the basis, and then using a special method to leave a bloodline mark. The moment the bearer burns their soul, the bloodline mark activates and then releases the massive energy accumulated in the crystal to produce a terrifying explosion.

The brilliant purple brilliance emanated from the crystal in the palm of Faanth's hand the moment he burned his soul, and then instantly wrapped around his body to form a huge amethyst-like winged angel. This is a purple angel composed of all the soul power and life force of Faans, and its short estimate of the time anomaly can only release one attack, and this attack is the last roar of Faans, a seventh-order warrior, in the human world or soul.

If there was a high-ranking member of the Demon Gate Guardian Army who saw that purple crystal-like battle angel here, he would definitely scream out, because it was the most elite unit among the Demon Gate Guardian warriors. Of course, it is not only an honor, but also a heavy burden, because using this crystal will end up destroying the body without leaving any trace. Therefore, the warriors who obtained this crystal undoubtedly got a pass to hell with the exception, but because they knew the consequences of using this crystal, not many high-level warriors in the entire demon gate would use it. No one wants their soul to dissipate until the last resort, and they cannot go to the kingdom of the Lord God to find rest.

But in this uninhabited wilderness, except for Chen Kai, there were basically no temple personnel, and if they died in battle, naturally there would be no priest to snatch back their souls from the demon's mouth. Rather than being devoured by demons and becoming an accomplice in invading his time and killing his wife and children, it is better to burn himself to add a touch of glory to his family. At least in Van Clery's eyes, his death might have given his son a sense of honor, or at least his father didn't die in a nest in some adventure, but died on the battlefield against the demons and became a hero.

So in the end, Faanse died, and died violently like an angel of war on earth. The attack he had exchanged for his life had told Chen Kai how powerful the Angelovas Crystal was, of course, it was the power of the Fighting Spirit that had lasted for many years. A purple glow from the sky erupted from the amethyst-like battle angel's hand, forming a huge sword that tore through the sky. The thick dark clouds shrouded in the wilderness of the Demon Gate were also completely torn apart by this sword, and the golden sunlight sprinkled down through the gaps and shone on Chen Kai and them who fled into the wilderness, and everyone saw that a trace of crystal in Fan Crane's eyes was slowly falling, drifting into the dust as the sunlight dispersed.

As for what kind of effect Faans's attack in exchange for his life this time was, Chen Kai didn't know, the only thing he knew was that after Faans, there were half fewer little demons in the sky. Combined with the sound of an explosion coming from behind like blood being shattered, Chen Kai could imagine in his mind that those little demons were being blown up in the air. Similarly, the angry roar of the Fire Demon can also show that Faans must have given the Fire Demon a very ferocious attack at the moment when the Battle Angel's body collapsed, so that the other party did not slow down for a long time and could not catch up with Chen Kai and them who were running wildly in front.

"What the hell is this crystal of Captain Van Clery" When the demon's figure disappeared from behind Chen Kai and them, they became ground rats again, digging through the hard soil and running into the ground. The group rested like moles less than five kilometers from the Devil's Gate, licking the wounds on their bodies and calming their inner space.

"The Purple Angel Stone, you can call it that, of course it is not the high-grade color of the Holy Angel Advent Stone, it is just a very ordinary crystal, but it activates the special power in the crystal with a special method, and uses magic to build an angel's phantom, this shadow has been relying on the temperature of our ancestors, when we need to burn the soul, activate the bloodline mark inside, we can stimulate the purple angel, with the fighting energy accumulated by the ancestors, and burst out of an attack in a short period of time." Van Clery clutched the crystal in his hand as if he were clutching his own life. In fact, this crystal was not only an heirloom for them, but also a terrifying burden that weighed on them. Fan Clery never told Chen Kai that once the blood connection was established, then the crystal would continue to absorb the holder's fighting energy, and when he died, all the energy in his body except for the soul would be absorbed.

Therefore, in fact, not all of Van Clery's ancestors died in battle, many of them were absorbed by the crystal when their lives were dying, and their whole body power was exhausted and died. A warrior with a strong and full body instantly turns into a skinny bone in front of you, and the feeling of drooping and decaying even the bones that you don't necessarily have is absolutely terrifying. Van Clery saw with his own eyes the terrifying appearance of his father being sucked dry by the crystal on his chest with just one word at the moment when he was seriously injured and dying, so he didn't want this burden to appear on his son, and at the same time, in order to restore the glory of his family, he chose to use something as terrible as Angeloworth crystal.

"That means even if we find this crystal, it's useless, right?" Chen Kai listened to Van Clery's narration and knew that the matter of getting the crystal was basically no fun, and this kind of thing that used bloodline power as the activation method could not be used by players at all, because players would not leave any bloodline at all. As for the Burning Soul, they only have the soul of the game consciousness where does it come from, so the latter is not valid, so after listening to Van Clery's description, everyone chose to forget about this crystal, because he could not be used by the player.

In fact, Chen Kai and the others didn't have that much time to remember the source of this life-threatening crystal, because they were desperately digging underground, constantly digging into the soil as if they were going to dig through the entire planet. After all, above their heads, at this moment, tens of thousands of demons were roaring and searching for their traces, no matter how well Fei Yun hid their traces, the high temperature of the fire demons that could melt the soil also made Chen Kai underground unbearable, and they had to choose to dig down to get away from this terrible stratum that was about to turn into magma.

In order not to be scorched by the scorching bottom, everyone burst out with a terrifying enthusiasm for work, and under the threat of the terrifying increasing heat behind them, everyone had only one mind to continue downward. Because they know that the lava field of the Fire Demon always has a limit, although it can cover tens of meters on the ground, but it is not bad to be able to cover more than ten meters underground. Being able to turn five or six meters of stratum into magma out of these ten meters is already a legendary-level fire demon ability, and this Sanctuary-level fire demon can only melt two or three meters of soil at most.

But it was still very dangerous for Chen Kai and the others, after all, their digging speed was not particularly fast, especially in this kind of place where the soil was hard and rocky, and it took more time to dig one meter at a time than in the past. If it was the loose soil on the periphery, then Chen Kai and the others would have dug a thirty-meter stratum and everyone would have acted collectively for a maximum of ten minutes. This is a calculation of the time it takes for everyone to swing a pickaxe in a single swing, and of course it is just a matter of digging a hole about a meter in diameter that allows three or four to dig downward.

Of course, at this moment, Chen Kai is digging obliquely downward, although the workload is larger, and the excavation distance is longer, but the speed is undoubtedly much faster. Digging straight down may seem fast, but it actually takes more time because there are fewer people who can carry the dirt vertically, and everyone can participate in the excavation if it goes downward. It's just that in the increasingly stuffy environment, everyone's breathing began to become suffocated, which is a manifestation of insufficient oxygen, even if they continue to expand the space, they still can't get enough oxygen. If Chen Kai and the others couldn't escape the realm of the fire demon, it was estimated that they would either be killed by heat or suffocated.

Although there is not enough oxygen in the underground space, they can get the oxygen in the tent as long as they have enough space to spread out the tent to survive. After all, when a portable tent is compressed, it not only compresses a tent, but also compresses the air remaining in the tent space. For Chen Kai, the tent is the place to go offline, and for Van Clery, the tent is the place to live. Therefore, whether it is Chen Kai or Van Clery, they are working hard to dig the soil and keep digging down in order to prevent the tent from burning directly at the moment of unfolding.

The lava tumbling behind them continued to erode the soil that Chen Kai had used to seal up, washing away the dirt that looked very solid. If Chen Kai didn't have special means, it is estimated that the lava that would be washed down would be baked into charcoal, because the magma was pouring into the tunnel. If it weren't for the players behind them discovering the magma slowly invading the ground, it is estimated that Chen Kai would not have discovered this terrible thing until the magma washed away the soil layer behind them and buried them. Looking at the dark red hot lava covered in dirt, no one wanted to test their own flesh and blood against this kind of thing, because that was an act of death.

Everyone kept pouring their little drinking water on the magma, trying to artificially cool the magma and use the very hard characteristics of the magma to block the magma behind it after solidification, but the water they poured out was so small that it completely vaporized after touching the surface of the magma. Taking it out of the spatial ring was like cold clear water, and it couldn't even lower the magma temperature a little, and it disappeared directly into the air, becoming a trace of nourishment for the earth, and at the same time making the black expression on Chen Kai's face even more numb and frightened. Because the magma was constantly pushing forward under the action of the gushing lava behind them, forcing Chen Kai to make a choice with an indomitable momentum.

Of course, this choice is not necessarily good, because Chen Kai and the others have to spend more energy digging up, digging a U-shaped pipe in the ground to prevent the magma from spreading, which makes their work more difficult, after all, the danger of magma is more urgent than the lack of oxygen. Everyone had to work hard to dig and carry the dirt to the back and stack it up to make the magma spread more slowly.

Chen Kai and the others finally escaped being swallowed by the magma, and after digging an inverted U-shaped tunnel, the magma finally failed to fill the tunnel and poured down. Because they are also cooling as they flow, albeit slowly, they eventually cool down and become solidified black basalt in the tunnels. Everyone was so tired that they were lying on their stomachs in the tunnels they had dug out, but they were all kicked up one by one, because they couldn't waste a single ounce of the oxygen that was left for Van Clery. When Chen Kai disappeared into the game tiredly, there were only nine people in the tunnel, and the dead Faanse was left with only a broken sword and the suicide note left in Chen Kai's backpack. Chen Kai didn't notice that when he went offline, Van Clery suddenly hugged the broken sword of Faanse and cried like a child, and so did Savaskilo. They can't cry when they're being chased by demons because they're on the run, they're digging tunnels, they can't cry because they can't expose their vulnerability in front of Chen Kai and their travelers, and that's the pride of being Tia that doesn't allow them to do that, but when they fall silent, they all cry.

No matter who loses a familiar companion who has been with him for many years, they will definitely not feel nothing, Van Clery and they all grew up in one place, and they are the most unsuccessful group of people in the Demon Gate Guards. In the end, they all left the demon gate and came to the outside world to become adventurers, so to speak, excluding those mages and priests who escaped from the demons, Van Clery and they are almost brothers in life and death who grew up wearing open crotch pants. So Van Clery cried without anyone else, even if the broken long sword cut his palm and skin, Van Clery didn't let go, and still hugged tightly.

"I'm sorry Faanse, I'm sorry" Van Cree muttered, not knowing whether he was confessing to the dead Faanse or venting his cowardice, he only knew that he wanted to face the other party and say sorry, because he felt sorry for his brother who shared life and death.
