Section 63 When the task is in progress
The urgent mission could not be delayed, and Chen Yan and Li Feike could only prepare to intercept that convoy. When Chen Yan explained the information of the convoy, everyone knew that this was a task that was not optimistic.
"We can't confront it head-on." Li Feike said with a headache. "Even if we take all the mercenaries at the outpost."
"Hmm." Chen Yan agreed. "I can sneak in, the Giant Armor isn't much of a threat to me, but those two Clothsnatchers are very tricky. They have strong mental power, and they also carry mental power amplification equipment. I'll be easily caught by her. ”
"They can hallucinate, and in severe cases, they can even die." Riffik added. "But the body is fragile."
"Semi-material form. Physical attacks are halved, and it is possible to dodge vital hits. Chen Yan shrugged his shoulders. I don't think she's that vulnerable. The main thing is that I don't know what was in that car yet. If there is another powerful demon, we will fall into a very dangerous situation. ”
"yes. Very difficult task. Lipfik could only smile wryly. It's a pity that we can't refuse. ”
The urgent mission comes from the Demon Hunter Guild, but it is not explained by the strength of the outpost. Either way, this time the two of them had to make a move, unless they weren't going to mess around in the witcher industry. So after some preparation, the two left the outpost. None of them brought followers because it was difficult for them to interfere in such a task, and even if they used them to attract the enemy's attention, they would suffer unbearable losses.
The earth flew under the feet of the constructed war horses, and Chen Yan and Li Feike galloped through the wilderness at night. There are still two hours left to catch up with the convoy. Li Feike suddenly asked Chen Yan. "What did Jessica give you before leaving?"
"Pillar information." Chen Yan pulled out a light curtain. Quickly navigate through the information. "I'm interested."
"You want to go to the Upper Realm." Li Fek said with a smile. "Actually, I have this idea too. But now it looks hard. The pillars have been sealed for a long time. Neither humans nor demons can open it. If the passage can't be cleared, going to the Upper Realm is a joke. ”
"Maybe there's another way?" Chen Yan remembered the information he had received from the demonized man and asked tentatively. "Have you heard of thirty-seven spires?"
"Of course I did." Li Fik replied happily. "It's the pillars, because they have thirty-seven spires."
"But there are only thirty-six at the moment, and thirty-seven have been sealed."
"Oh, that's unfortunate." Chen Yan shrugged his shoulders. I find the records of demonic people more and more interesting.
However, Li Feike didn't know what he was thinking, and still said with a smile. "Yes, unfortunately, the thirty-seventh spire is the entrance to the Upper Realm. But none of us can open it, no, because the seal is hidden, and we can't even see the thirty-seventh spire. ”
"What if we could see it?" Chen Yan asked.
"So...... Maybe we have a way. Lifik said meaningfully.
The wind was howling in their ears, and the speed of the two of them was getting faster and faster. It only took a little more than an hour to catch up with a long distance. Because the target was a convoy, they didn't pass through the Starlight Jungle, or another slightly detour. When Chen Yan and Li Feike climbed a hill, they suddenly saw a row of car lights in the distance.
"It's close." Lifik got off his horse and took out a telescope-like instrument to observe. "Let me see, more than two hundred Giant Demons, oh, and some Inferior Demon Flower Spirits and Human Slaves, three Flame Chariots, and a few transport vehicles. I think they should have four Flamebursts, one of which hung up at the outpost. ”
"I didn't see the Clothhopper, but I could feel that there were three powerful spiritual sources in the middle of them. Maybe your intelligence isn't accurate. ”
"You mean there are three robbers?" Chen Yan asked.
"Just guessing." Lifik replied. "But we're going to prepare for the worst. Moreover, the Armored Demon did not appear, and may still be sleeping in the Flame Chariot. ”
"Well, we're catching up with them. Pack up your gear and make a plan. ”
As he spoke, Lipfic took a package from his constructed warhorse and sat down in the night. The package is not large, but it can be seen to be heavy.
Chen Yan was opposite him, leaning against a big tree and holding a grass stalk. "What are your plans? Mr. Lifik. ”
"Oh man, to be honest I didn't expect to work with you so soon, though I've been looking forward to it." Lifik grinned, his face trembling. "So I haven't introduced myself to you yet. I'm a heavily armed witcher, and head-on combat is my forte. ”
As he spoke, he opened the package, revealing a complex orb inside. The ball shimmered with blue light, and countless gears could be seen turning through the gaps.
"My device, Stere's Titan."
A clicking sound suddenly sounded, and right in front of Chen Yan, the metal ball spread out and turned into countless flying steel parts. One by one, they landed on Lifik, quickly transforming him into a metal humanoid. Rows of energy tubes were inserted into his spine from behind, and then one by one. When all the parts are connected, the exhaust vents on either side of the mask emit white gas, and the eyes light up blue.
"My plan is that I'll be in charge of the front, and you'll be in charge of infiltrating."
From the iron figure came the voice of Li Fik, and the fierceness was incomparable. "There are more than 200 giant armor demons, I can attract them alone. So their robbers will definitely pay attention to me. That's your chance. Unfortunately, we don't have enough information to know what it looks like, but I think it must be in the middle car. ”
"Find it."
"Then destroy it."
Lifik stood up and turned to look out into the wilderness beneath his feet. "This is the glory of the Stehl outpost, and I will not shy away from it! Fifteen minutes, I can get you at least fifteen minutes. ”
"That's enough!" Chen Yan replied, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "But beware, they also have three Armored Demons."
"No problem, I promise they won't have time to take care of you." Li Fek said confidently.
Then the two men remounted their horses and chased after the convoy in the distance.
The night was deep, and the speed of the two of them was like thunder, and they were quickly approaching the target, but at this moment, Chen Yan's butler suddenly sounded, and a communication came in. Chen Yan hurriedly looked at it, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance, the Moyat of the Mofil family.
I saw that he was dressed in formal clothes, noticed the scene around Chen Yan, and immediately said. "Long story short, Lord Chen Yan. I don't want to bother you, but your current assignment is of interest to the Mophil family. We want to get what that convoy is carrying. If you can do it, I think the Mophil family will offer you a good reward. ”
"Outside the Demon Hunters."
