Section 134 Arrival at Black Rock
At the same time, on the other side of the Hui Valley.
Chen Yan's convoy is approaching its destination. A small village called Black Rock.
Because of entering the demon territory, the surrounding soil gradually turned black, many small holes spewing flames appeared, the general vegetation also changed, there were more strange but valuable plants and creatures, and in some dangerous areas, more rare demonic ores were exposed to the surface. Let this black land be full of danger and opportunity.
In fact, many people have the misconception that demons are savage and evil, as simple and crude as beasts without intelligence. Actually, that's not the case at all. Most demons are more intelligent than humans and have a complete knowledge system and social structure. The civilization they created was higher and larger than that of humans, which is why they dominated the world. It is only in order to 'captive' humans that the demons have specially planned their own activity areas, which has increased the number of low-level demonic creatures on the edge of the human race, thus giving people the illusion that the demons are 'stupid'.
At this point, Chen Yan quickly had a clear understanding.
They passed by a demonic outpost.
It was a larger gathering place than a human city, with strong walls and a strong defense system. On the towering guard position, a huge weapon that Chen Yan had never seen before was slowly spinning, and below was a neat and clean street. Instead of the human-style buildings that Chen Yan is familiar with, there are dense behemoths that look like black vines, and transparent pipes protrude from these buildings, connecting them like tentacles......
In the channel, there is a rapid flow of magical energy.
Chen Yan knew at a glance how powerful this outpost was, it could be said that it was stronger than the defense of a human city. Especially those flowing magic energy, it gave Chen Yan a feeling of 'tall'. You must know that the efficiency of magic energy is extremely high, and ordinary equipment simply cannot use so much energy, which shows how amazing the device of this outpost is.
However, Chen Yan will not enter this outpost. As an outsider to the Land of Glory, he wisely chose a detour.
A day later, they saw Black Rock Village, a small village located a hundred kilometers away from the Demon Outpost. It is named because it is built on black rocks. The rocks here have a certain body-strengthening effect when ground into powder, which attracts this group of people.
Black Rock Village is a typical demon territory village that does not interact with human civilizations. It is also built in the Devil's style.
Chen Yan was spotted when he approached here, and several men riding armored war horses greeted him.
Constructing a war horse belongs to the demon hunter's car in the human power, but in fact, the technology also comes from the demon. So it's relatively more in the Demon Territory.
"Stop!" A burly knight shouted, blocking in front of Chen Yan's convoy.
"Who are you? What to do? ”
"Hey, man. Don't be nervous, we're just a bunch of travelers who want to stay here for a little time and get some good goods. Shent poked his head out of the window and smiled at the knight.
Travelers are the most common travelers in the Hui River Basin. You can see it everywhere, and it is as tenacious as a cockroach.
The knight was not surprised, but said after a moment's careful consideration. "You are not like travelers, they can't afford to sit in such chariots."
"Ah......h You know, not all travelers are poor, so we have to learn to be flexible in order to get here safely. Rent, hehe. Just rent. I have to return the ...... when I run out."
While speaking, the rest of the knights had already come to the side of the convoy and circled around it a few times. Shent could clearly see that their sight was on the bullet marks on the armored vehicle for a moment. Only then did he turn and leave.
"It doesn't look like you're on a smooth journey. You've made a wise choice. The burly knight said, and gave way to the way. In the past, Black Rock Village welcomes all guests who can bring benefits, and also rejects all bad guys with bad intentions. Hopefully you'll know the rules. ”
"Aren't you going to check in the car?" Shent was a little stunned, this was not like the style of the village in the demon region. They're all a bunch of vigilant guys, how could they allow strangers to enter at will?
"What is supposed to come will come. Those who shouldn't come won't come. The burly knight glanced at Shent meaningfully, turned and left with his men.
"What did I say wrong?" Shente touched the back of his head and said strangely.
"Maybe it's not you, it's them......" Willy squinted her eyes and looked ahead. Black Rock Village, let's go inside. ”
The fleet was restarted. Entered this seemingly small but well-equipped 'small' village.
The architectural style here is obviously different from that of human society, except that the masonry structure is still used, and the roof is similar to the building of a demon outpost. The outside of the walls is also outlined with black pigment in the pattern of vines. The village is not big, with only two streets, but there is a lot of people. There are also different characteristics among the passers-by, including some common demons.
"Be careful, the villages in the demon area are all inhabited by humans and demons, not humans." Wei Li reminded from inside the car. "We'd better inquire about their taboos first."
"Just don't get into unnecessary trouble." Chen Yan said without raising his head. "Find a place to settle down first, then resupply and gather intelligence."
"Yes." Shente and Xiu agreed.
Because of some special products, Black Rock Village is also a village with a large number of visitors. The convoy easily found a hotel that could accommodate the stationing of three armored vehicles. The hotel has complete magical energy supply facilities and food and lodging, but you have to find your own weapons and ammunition.
The only weapons of humanity here are ordinary magic rifles, and ammunition is also the most popular conventional ammunition. And toxin warheads and (cell, genetic) special bombs that can cause great damage to demons are not supplied. It is believed that demons will not allow them to circulate on a large scale either.
The group simply washed up and stayed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The journey of more than a month was too tiring, not counting the frequent battles encountered in between, and they really needed a good rest. Chen Yan asked Shente and Xiudu to rest, and he took on the task of being on duty.
In the demon area, you can't relax even if you rest.
In the depths of the night, Alice fell asleep holding Chen Yan's head, but Chen Yan did not feel sleepy. He sat down in his chair and opened the book, and began to study demons again.
Outside the window, the village is becoming less crowded and quieter.
It's a quiet night, isn't it?
He was enjoying a brief moment of tranquility when suddenly, a loud noise sounded outside the window. A large field of fire reflected the sky red. (To be continued......)
