Chapter 137: In-depth investigation
Zhou Xiaoning is also a master of the arts, so he did it when he thought of it, leaving a few clones to continue to complete the trap array, while he himself hid his figure and quietly sneaked towards the enemy's base camp.
The base camp of the demon army is actually a city originally managed by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and it is also the place where Yuan Lu Zhi distorted time and space and connected the island country with Huaxia.
With Zhou Xiaoning's concealment ability, even a seventh-order powerhouse couldn't easily find out, let alone the city defenders.
Zhou Xiaoning easily entered the city, in order not to be discovered, Zhou Xiaoning did not develop his divine sense, and did not even use the clone, but personally reconnoitred one place after another.
After walking around this circle, it really refreshed Zhou Xiaoning's cognition of the demon army.
In this city, there are a total of four military camps in the east, west, north and south, of which the two military camps in the southeast are stationed with 100,000 demon elites, which is 200,000 five-star troops.
There are fewer garrisons in the western military camp, only in the early 10,000s, and unlike the gray-skinned demon army, this army is all green-skinned, fat, thin, tall and short, the only thing that is consistent is that they all have a pair of bat wings, and it is clear that this is an air force. And each of them has at least the mid-fifth order combat power, which is a few points stronger than the ordinary five-star troops.
When he saw this scene, Zhou Xiaoning was really taken aback, you must know that this is not a class of troops that appeared in the Musou series.
But at the same time, Zhou Xiaoning was still a little lucky, fortunately he came to investigate, otherwise in the future, if the war started, the unprepared air force units of the Two Realms City suffered a surprise attack by this air force, and I am afraid that they would suffer heavy losses, and even worse, they might lose their air supremacy completely.
"Fortunately, the soldiers of the three clans stayed in the city of the two realms and stood by, so let them clean up this group of green-skinned monsters when the time comes."
After having an idea, Zhou Xiaoning did not stay in the western military camp for a long time, and ran to the northern military camp non-stop.
The North Military Camp is not so much a military camp as a beast pen, there are all kinds of strange monsters here, and the prison beasts that Zhou Xiaoning saw in the Advancement City of the One Piece World were nothing compared to here.
In the northern military camp, Zhou Xiaoning even saw a huge creature made of hundreds of animals, including human bodies, full of twists, with its body more than 20 meters high, if it was put into the war, it would undoubtedly be a huge threat to the city wall defense line.
For a moment, Zhou Xiaoning thought about destroying this ugly big guy, but in the end, he still held back, after all, he was only scouting the outer part now, and it was unknown what the situation was inside. If you make a move at this time, you will undoubtedly be startled, and you will waste this opportunity, and it will be difficult to sneak in in the future.
Although Zhou Xiaoning dispelled the idea of doing something, this monster still couldn't stay, so he secretly smashed a thunder fire bead into the body of the huge monster, this thunder fire bead is one of the black unicorn's collections, equivalent to a mythical version of a remote-controlled bomb, and the explosion power is equivalent to ten grenades. However, what the Thunder Fire Bead is really powerful is not just the explosion, but the thunder fire element turbulence that erupts with the explosion, once it erupts, it will be crushed into ashes by the elemental turbulence for a mile. Even if a sixth-order master is caught by one defenselessly, even if he doesn't die, he will end up seriously injured.
Moreover, before the Thunder Fire Bead was activated, there was no energy fluctuation, in the great battle of the last era, the Thunder Fire Bead was frequently used in trap arrangement, and the results were quite fruitful, I don't know how many Chaos Heavenly Demons died in Yin. Now, Zhou Xiaoning used a thunder fire bead to deal with this monster, which is really a bit overkill.
Zhou Xiaoning looked at his results, and sure enough, the gap was less than half an abnormality, nodded with satisfaction, and then reined in his breath and continued to go deeper.
Next is where those demon generals live, the demon army has eighteen cities, and at least six demon generals can be brushed out that day, plus the accumulation when they were still on the island country, they are really not young or old, Zhou Xiaoning roughly counted them, to say the least, there are four or five hundred, and the closer to the center of the city, the higher the strength of the demon generals, near the city lord's mansion, Zhou Xiaoning even found the figure of the sixth-order demon general.
However, it is very strange that the demon generals are the strongest in the early stage of the sixth order, and their breath is unstable, so they obviously did not break through on their own.
Detecting this, Zhou Xiaoning didn't know whether to be happy or worried, but fortunately, he brought in a lot of masters from various worlds, and his high-end combat power was not weak. However, it can also be seen from this that when the demon army attacked the Dawning Base, it didn't go all out at all.
In addition to the demon army, Zhou Xiaoning also discovered the island generals, but except for a few exceptions, most of the island generals looked blind, as if they were controlled by someone or something.
Zhou Xiaoning kept this matter in mind, but he didn't plan to investigate it in detail now, he was not related to these people, and he couldn't risk exposure to help them find a way to get out of control.
After passing through the area where the generals lived, Zhou Xiaoning finally came to the core of the enemy's base camp.
Different from the military camps on the periphery and the private houses in the middle, in the core area, they are all mansions, which are specially provided for masters of the sixth order and above, or important people to live in.
Of course, there are also some important facilities located here.
For example, Zhou Xiaoning found ten large warehouses that stored all kinds of military supplies, obviously the things in these warehouses were the logistics support of the Demon Army, if they could be destroyed, there would be a big problem with the food, clothing and housing of the millions of soldiers of the Demon Army.
However, in such an important place, the defense was not too tight, and only a fifth-order peak demon general led less than three thousand demon elites to guard it. This is probably because everyone, including Yuan Lu Zhi, didn't expect that someone would be able to pass through the outer military camp and the general residence in the middle like Zhou Xiaoning silently, and come here without alarming anyone.
This gave Zhou Xiaoning a lot of room to operate, and he almost effortlessly avoided those warehouse guards, wandering between ten warehouses as if he had entered a no-man's land, and left a thunder and fire bead in each warehouse. By the time he detonated these thunder and fire beads, Yuan Lu Zhi's face would probably be difficult to see.
Zhou Xiaoning also went in to investigate those mansions, but the strange thing is that there are only some living humans who have been captured as servants or rations, and those big people are not here.
Through the conversations of those human beings, Zhou Xiaoning learned that those people were all called by Yuan Lu Zhi to have a banquet, and they would not come back in two or three hours.
Zhou Xiaoning hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take a risk and sneak into Yuan Lu Zhi's mansion to have a look, at least he knew that Yuan Lu Zhi had attracted those bull ghosts, snakes, and gods, so that it would be convenient for him to make targeted responses.
Yuanlu Zhi's mansion is not elsewhere, it is the city lord's mansion of the original city, and it is also the largest building in this city, so it is easy to find.
However, after sneaking in, Zhou Xiaoning was a little blind, he didn't know much about the layout of the City Lord's Mansion, and in the case that he couldn't expand his divine sense, he could only look for it room by room.
I don't know if Zhou Xiaoning is lucky or bad, he wandered around like a headless fly, but he found Yuan Lu Zhi's treasure room by mistake. You must know that Yuan Lu Zhi is on the island country for a while, and what can be solemnly collected by him is definitely not an ordinary treasure. It's just that there is an enchantment set up outside the treasure room, and with Zhou Xiaoning's ability, it is not difficult to crack it, but the difficulty is how not to alarm the people who arrange the enchantment.
You must know that the masters of the demon army are now in this mansion, once Zhou Xiaoning's whereabouts are exposed, he will definitely be attacked by concentrated fire, even if Yuan Lu Zhi does not make a move at that time, those masters of the fifth and sixth orders alone will be enough for him to drink a pot.
But it was not Zhou Xiaoning's style to leave like this, he found a hidden place near the treasure room, leaving a space already. Since he found this treasure room, the things in it have all been surnamed Zhou, and now they are only temporarily stored here, and when there is a chance in the future, Zhou Xiaoning will come and move them all away.
Until the treasure room was discovered, most of the City Lord's Mansion had been found by Zhou Xiaoning, but there were only two places left for him to care about, one was the central hall, and the other was the back garden. If nothing else, the former should be the place where Yuan Lu Zhi held a banquet, while the latter, the sky-high aura Zhou Xiaoning wanted to ignore.
Following the principle of proximity, Zhou Xiaoning went to the back garden first.
Yuan Lu Zhi is an out-and-out battle maniac, and he doesn't have the slightest thought about enjoying the flowers, so no one has taken care of this back garden since he moved in. However, the flowers and trees inside are still growing very well, even a few points stronger than the garden of the Dragon Castle in the Two Realms City, because of a spring located in the southeast corner of the garden.
Through the identification of the source disk, these know that the spring is actually a prop called [Ninghua Spring], which can automatically absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and turn into spring water, as long as it is soaked in it for three hours, the strength can be improved by a small stage without side effects. Although the [Condensing Spring] will only increase its strength when it is soaked for the first time, and it is only effective for the sixth order and below, it is undeniable that its ability is indeed against the sky.
You must know that the peak of the fifth order is also below the sixth order, and how many people are stuck at this stage and cannot break through for a long time, but this small jar of pond water can easily help people cross this threshold. Although using this method to break through would lead to a long stay in the early stage of the sixth order due to insufficient comprehension of the law, it was nothing at all for those whose realm was hopeless.
In this way, it also explains why there are so many early sixth-order generals in the demon army, and it turns out that there is such a cheating.
