Although the brain has been transferred by the demon army, there are at least two good news, first, the brain is indeed in the hands of the demons, and it will be easier to find the brain by following this clue, and second, judging from the degree of light that the demon bones react and feed back, the place where the brain is transferred is not very far from them.
"Gu Meinu, you say, will the demon clan hide their brains inside the Saccharpentine Fortress?" Lin Yue turned his head to look at the huge fortress like a mountain not far away, and pondered.
"Impossible, as the military stronghold of the demons, the Saphan Fortress looks very safe with iron bucket-like fortifications, but in fact, it is easy to leak the rumors of where to store the brain, judging from the fact that the demons hide their brains in the secret tunnel, the demons may be conducting some kind of unknown experiment, and this kind of thing cannot be known to the outside world for the time being, so I speculate that they will not risk storing their brains in the Saphant Fortress." Gu Tingcheng analyzed.
"If it's not the Sacchar Fortress, is there any place near here?" Lin Yue didn't quite understand, shook his head for a while, and didn't find anything suspicious near here.
"If the search area is the entire Caldanor Mountains, even if there are demon bones to sense, it will be very time-consuming to find the brain." Gu Qingcheng groaned.
"I have an opinion." I don't know when Hariotto, who was sitting on the side and came back from a walk with an umbrella, suddenly walked over with a smile and said, "We can divide into two ways, first you use the demon bones to determine the general direction of the brain, and then the four of us are divided into two groups to search." โ
"That's a good idea, but how to group." Lin Yue didn't care.
"It's very simple, we can guess the boxing, the person who wins is the team leader, and then choose someone to team up with us." Harriotto said with a smile.
Lin Yue didn't care, Gu Qingcheng smiled and agreed, although there would be a certain risk for the four of them to be separated, but this would increase the search range and save time.
As a result, the four of them guessed boxing together, and the grouping became like this. Gu Tingcheng and Xia Manqiu were in a group, while Lin Yue was in a group with Harrioto.
Looking at the smiling female dragon king beside him, Lin Yue held his forehead, with a loveless expression, with a 1/4 chance of letting him draw a lottery.
"Little ghost, looking at your expression, it doesn't seem like you like to be with this king?" Harriotto held an umbrella and wore a fiery red evening gown, and in the dark night, she was beautiful and sensual, as brilliant as a red rose.
However, Lin Yue was really not interested in this black-bellied beauty, the other party's true body was an abyss dragon that was more than a thousand years old, even if Lin Yue was a player, he could still feel the faint dragon power that the other party deliberately hidden.
Probably feeling that Lin Yue was secretly distancing himself from him, Hariotto had a hint of narrowness in his heart, and quietly walked behind Lin Yue, and hooked Lin Yue's shoulder with one hand.
Her figure is quite tall, and she is wearing high heels, half a head taller than Lin Yue, this shoulder is particularly easy to hook, and when Lin Yue didn't react at all, she had already brought half of her body closer.
Through the thin fabric, Lin Yue obviously felt a ball of softness close to his arm, and subconsciously glanced at it, only to see a touch of snow-white plump wrapped in fiery red cloth.
"Little ghost, do you believe that this king will gouge out your eyes again?" Hariotto chuckled.
Lin Yue pursed his lips and looked away, reached out and grabbed the other party's hand and wanted to tear her away, but he didn't expect that although the other party's hand was thin, the power contained in it was very huge, and he didn't succeed in pulling it hard several times with Lin Yue's character attributes.
I almost forgot that this woman was a humanoid dragon.
After failing to break free, Lin Yue muttered in his heart, and had no choice but to let Harriotto walk with his shoulders around him, and at the same time said angrily: "You can't go yourself?" Why are you sticking to me? โ
Harriotto chuckled: "Don't be narcissistic, this king just wants to borrow you to help him, don't you see this king wearing high heels?" โ
Damn, come to this barren mountain to find something to wear woolen high heels, didn't you ask for it? Besides, even if you wear high heels, will this terrain affect you, the dragon king? is clearly looking for an excuse to take revenge on Lao Tzu.
Lin Yue rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to continue to be a human crutch to help Harioto walk forward.
After a while, a fork in the road appeared, and when Lin Yue was hesitating where to go, Hariotto's voice was already ringing in his ears, "Go to the left." โ
Lin Yue looked at her in surprise, "How do you know?" โ
Harriotto laughed, "Intuition. โ
Lin Yue: "......"
Lin Yue secretly complained in his heart, but what made him speechless was that this guy's intuition was actually quite accurate, and when they chose to take the left road, they walked about two or three kilometers ahead, and a canyon suddenly appeared in front of them.
Due to the lush vegetation here, the entrance to the canyon is blocked by two large protruding boulders, plus some vines attached to the stones, and the entrance to the canyon is basically not clear if you don't look carefully.
The reason why he paid special attention to this canyon was because Lin Yue saw the fire from inside, and there was a light source to prove that there were people, so Lin Yue immediately took out the shadow cloak from his backpack and put it on.
Harriotto was even more straightforward, after she recited a strange spell silently, she was as invisible as Lin Yue, if it weren't for the other party's hand still hooking his shoulder, Lin Yue really thought that the person around him was gone.
After hiding their figures, the two of them immediately walked towards the entrance of the canyon, and in the process, Lin Yue found that there were several hidden sentinels on both sides of the canyon, and there were demon soldiers patrolling them.
Lin Yue estimated that they had found the right place, so he secretly used the team channel to share a coordinate with Gu Tingcheng and Xia Manqiu, and asked them to come here.
โฆโฆ
At the same time, at the same time that Lin Yue and the others discovered the stronghold where the demon clan hid the parts of the holy body, in the depths of this stronghold, in a cave, a horse-faced demon clan and a dwarf demon clan walked side by side, and in front of them, leading the way was a stiff old demon clan.
"What did Master Monsuka send you for? Don't tell me that I haven't found a suitable site to build a new laboratory, and I said that it would be done within a month, but after I arranged it in this kind of place, the laboratory has not been followed. "The old man of the demon clan is none other than Zaguk, the person in charge of managing the storage of the demon brain laboratory, and he is constantly chattering while leading the way for the two behind him.
And the two behind Zaguk are the other two of the seven demon generals under the seat of the demon general Meng Xiuka, Dio and Kate.
"Mr. Zaguk, you should know that rebuilding the laboratory is not an easy task, and the Demon Brain is a major secret involving our entire clan, and we must choose carefully as a place to store it." Kate said lightly.
"But if the laboratory can't be found again, I won't be able to continue the research and development experiments of the 'Dead Man', Kate, you and Dior have just seen it, due to the lack of experimental materials, there is no 'Dead Man' for you recently." Zaguk spread his hands.
"Dead old man, you're really annoying, when can't you do what Master Monsche promised you, what you care about is not a laboratory at all, but those experimental materials, don't worry, Kate and I are here today to solve this problem for you." Dio's temper is no better than Kate's, and his horse's face is so long at this time that he doesn't give Zaguk a good look at all.
Speaking of Zaguk, his status in the demon clan is quite special, sometimes, he can even point fingers at big people like Monsuka, and there is no need to be polite at all, not to mention Dior and Kate?
However, when he heard that the experimental materials were in place, Zaguk became surprisingly easy to speak, he smiled, turned back to Kate and Dior, and said: "It turns out that you are here to solve the problem of the experimental materials, that would be great, I knew that Monsche didn't lie to me......"
Dior rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with the old man.
The three of them then entered a huge cavern, where various alchemical instruments were placed, and a huge glass container was placed in the center, through which a terrifying brain could be seen through the large amount of liquid.
Demon Brain.
This mysterious brain name is the treasure of the whole clan that existed thousands of years ago, after the demons broke away from the branch of the Western Demon Realm in the abyss and migrated to the Eldras continent to settle down.
For a long time, no one knew what the demon brain was, and although the demon king in the belt had painstakingly researched it, hoping to revitalize the demon race with its power, but after so many years, he still didn't have the slightest clue.
Until modern times, shortly after the end of the Hundred Years' War, the current demon king Satan. Lucifer finally extracted a very magical substance from the demon brain.
When this substance is injected into any living being, it gains tremendous power, unbelievably huge, helplessly, and at the same time it gains power, it also becomes insane and tyrannical.
To this end, Satan ordered Zaguk, the most outstanding alchemist of the Demon Race, to study the Demon Brain in depth, and use the secret passages near the fortress of Satan as a base to conduct human experiments in order to create a powerful and fearless army of the dead.
Over the years, Zaguk has apparently lived up to expectations, using the rumors of Monster Heaven as a lure to lure many adventurers and treat them as experiments.
However, because of Lin Yue's relationship with them breaking into the secret passage last time, the laboratory was destroyed, and the demon brain had to be transferred. Fearing that the secret of the Demon Brain would be discovered, Zaguk did not dare to choose another place as a new laboratory, and for this reason, he was very manic lately due to the lack of test subjects to conduct experiments, until today Dior and Kate brought him this good news.
"I've been studying the Demon Brain for more than twenty years, and in the past twenty years, the more I have studied, the more I have discovered its mystery and power, I dare to guarantee that if I can study all of the Demon Brain that day, no, it should be 1/10 of it is enough, as long as I get 1/10 of its power, it is enough for our Demon Race to reign in the world, and we can even return to the abyss." Zaguk walked up to the container containing the magic brain, looked through the glass, and looked at the magic brain in the container with an obsessive expression, as if he saw his beloved woman, stripped naked and lying in front of him.
A look of disgust flashed on Dior's horse's face, and he pouted: "But you have studied it for so many years, and you haven't even studied 1/100th of its secret. โ
"That's because I don't have enough test subjects!" Zaguk turned around and retorted loudly: "If there are enough test subjects to conduct experiments, I will definitely get a clue from them, but unfortunately, over the years, although the secret passage has attracted a lot of stupid adventurers, and the Demon King also transports some slaves for me every year, but these people are still not enough, the number of experiments is too small, and I can't calculate in many places......
Zaguk became emotional as he spoke, and the madness in his eyes made him look like a woman with discontented desires, angry that her desires were not satisfied.
"That's a matter of no choice, after all, human experiments are not only banned by the Eastern Continent Light Alliance, but even our Western Continent Dark Council is also banned, if outsiders find out, our demons will be isolated." Kate said lightly.
"I know, that's why I hate those hypocrites, what human experiments say blasphemy, phew, there are so many wars on the Adras continent every year, in modern times, take the Hundred Years War as an example, there are not a billion dead but 800 million, why don't they say blasphemy? Instead to pay homage to the goddess of war, Safir? Zaguk said dismissively.
"Shut up, Zaguk, you are crazy, dare to blaspheme the gods?" Dior laughed.
"Why not? What are gods? The Celestial Realm has been closed for many years, and the temples in the entire Edras Continent have long been devoid of miracles, so why do we still worship them? Zaguk said.
"That's enough, this kind of topic is enough." Kate stopped the crazy Zaguk, and then turned to say, "Dio and I are here today to solve the problem of the test subject. โ
"Do you really have a solution to this? Aren't you afraid to let people outside know that our demons are conducting human experiments? Zaguk laughed.
"I used to be a little worried, but now ......"
Dio smiled as Kate continued, "Right now, we are at war with the Terrans, and the Darkwing Legion led by Boss Gerald has successfully captured the Terran Aries County. โ
"So what? What does it have to do with me? You're just trying to take the dead from me and put them in the war, but I can't make the dead without the test subjects. Zaguk spread his hands.
"Don't worry about this, soon you will have enough test subjects, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep busy alone." Kate said with a slight smile.
"Really?" Zaguk was a little suspicious, he really couldn't figure out where there were enough test subjects, and at the same time they couldn't be discovered by the Dark Council and the Light Alliance.
"Dead old man, you are so stupid, Kate has already said it so clearly, you still don't understand?" Dio sneered: "Those miscellaneous creatures of the human race, they have no other skills, but the ability to reproduce is quite powerful, do you know how many of the 12 billion creatures in the entire Adras continent are accounted for by the human race?" It's 50%, the eight major races in the entire continent, they are half of the human race, just one Aries County, where the population is more than 400 million, where we have captured, you say, what will we do with those civilians and prisoners of war? โ
Hearing this, Zaguk's eyes lit up, where is there anything he doesn't understand?
That's right, what is the most product of the war? In addition to blood and corpses, the most were probably abandoned civilians and prisoners of war.
How many people are there in the entire Fallen Zone of Terran Aries County? It is impossible to kill the demon army at most, so if they are captured as experimental subjects for demon brain research, then all the problems will be solved, and this idea will definitely kill two birds with one stone.
"Monshuka is so powerful, he actually thought of using the civilians and prisoners left behind by the war in this way, these people are probably dead in the eyes of others, no one cares where they go, they are captured as test subjects, whether they die in the end or become dead soldiers, they are of great value."
The more Zaguk spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had seen a bright future, and he pulled Kate and asked urgently, "So when you came today, did you bring those Terran civilians and captives?" โ
"I knew you would ask this, don't worry, we have already sent 500 people over today, rest assured that these are just sweetness, and after you make the first batch of dead soldiers, we will send more people over one after another." Kate said.
"Haha, okay, very good, let's go, take me to see those cute test subjects, I'm really looking forward to it, what kind of great discovery will it be when I study the secret of the magic brain?" Zaguk said impatiently.

On the other hand.
Lin Yue and Harrioto, who had successfully infiltrated the demon stronghold, were bored while waiting for the meeting, and inadvertently walked into a low basin deep in the canyon.
When they saw that there were tents and the lights were bright, they walked over curiously, and saw the indignation of the people below.
I saw that under the basin, dozens of tents were in a circle, and in the middle of an open space, a huge bonfire was set up, and the red fire light illuminated the entire stronghold.
A group of demon soldiers were shirtless, showing their strong muscles and drinking and partying, but the object of their carnival was a group of ragged and unclothed Terran men and women.
Lin Yue and Harriotto hid in the shadows, and saw that some soldiers grabbed a human man, tied him to a cross, and cut off the flesh on his body piece by piece with a knife.
There were also soldiers who grabbed a few women and pressed them to the ground in front of their relatives and ravaged them, and the scene was simply unbearable and infuriating.
"What's wrong? Isn't it a little angry to see your own kind being hurt and insulted? Harriotto had been observing Lin Yue's expression, and when he saw Lin Yue looking at him expressionlessly, he thought he was angry.
"Angry? Why should I be angry? Lin Yue turned his head to look at Harioto, his expression puzzled, and then he remembered what she meant, so he smiled: "Don't be funny, I am definitely not the same kind as them, although the appearance is similar, but I think there is still a difference between the human race of the Adras Continent and the human race on Earth." โ
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have a very hard heart, ordinary people will be enthusiastic when they see such a scene, and rush out to teach these villains a lesson, but you don't care at all?" Harriotto looked at Lin Yue with some surprise, the smile on his face was a little appreciative.
"You think I'm a good person?" Lin Yue didn't answer the question, half a sound, touched his chin and smiled: "Actually, I noticed another thing just now. โ
"What's the matter?"
"Don't you see those Terrans? They are supposed to be civilians or captives in Aries County, but why are they here? โ
Hearing this, Harriotto showed a thoughtful expression, and said with a half-loud smile: "Little ghost, it seems that I underestimated you. โ
