Chapter 10: The Dark Gate

"Cole, do you know that in my centuries of life, I have never seen a human slave like you, vicious and cunning, and yet constantly betraying your own kind as a human being. There was a time when reason told me not to trust you too much, but today your faithfulness has forced me to give up my doubts, can I really trust you? ”

"Yes, Master Tannis, you can trust me, the lowly Cole hates his own bloodline, and hates the weak and lowly race of humans, thank you for your gift to Cole. When you become a Bloodline, Cole will be the sharpest knife in your hand, removing all enemies for the Bloodline and you! ”

Xu Mo lowered his head deeply, and dense cold sweat oozed from his scarred back, mixed with the blood from the wound, wetting the tattered linen undershirt.

This was the second time that Tannis had given Xu Mo the second shock since entering this world, and the long life of the Blood Clan had not only given them skillful fighting skills, but also given them pious minds. If it weren't for a cold-blooded animal like Xu Mo who was far-reaching, cunning and ruthless, and extremely good at camouflage, it would be almost impossible to deceive an orthodox blood nobleman, and even Xu Mo almost lost his life at the beginning.

Whether it's Tannis, or Victor, when Xu Mo appeared, they carefully studied the various behaviors of this human slave, except for recognizing that Xu Mo is truly and thoroughly loyal to the blood clan and wants to turn himself into a bloodline, there is no way to imagine that Xu Mo is not a person from this world at all, all his actions are out of completing the world tasks given by the superstring space, and the identity of the reincarnation is Xu Mo's real hole card.

"Dawn is approaching, the raiding party must return to the castle immediately, I can't give you any manpower, after returning to the castle, I will report to the prince as soon as possible about our results this time, and ask the prince to send men to help you clear the human settlements in the Ceylon mountains. Other than that...... Give this thing to you too, it can save your life at a critical time! ”

Somewhat distressed, Tannis pulled out a quaint scroll from his bosom, which was full of purple and red patterns, and shimmered mysteriously in the light of the stars.

"'Dark Gate': Powerful purple props (C+ level), consumables, 1/1 of the number of uses, can be carried out of the world, can be traded, sold to space can be exchanged for 1500 credits, 2 honor points."

"Description: This ancient scroll can summon one or more powerful magical beasts from the Purgatory Abyss to defeat the enemies in front of you, but be aware that if the owner is too weak, the scroll will not be able to be used properly. It can only be used by sacrificing your soul, and as the battle drags on, you will also pay a huge price. ”

"Hint: Your intelligence does not meet the requirements for use, your spirit does not meet the requirements for use, this scroll cannot be used by you normally, but you can forcibly use it by sacrificing 3 points of the highest base caste, during the Abyss Warcraft battle, your health will drop by 2 points per second, and when the total health is less than 1/10, the Warcraft will return to the Purgatory Abyss."

Xu Mo's face kept changing with the explanation of the soul mark, it seems that this scroll is not suitable for his own use, even if this world has been strengthened by 50% of the body given by the space, but his total health is only 240 points, after deducting 1/10 of his life, only 216 points of life are left, which can barely maintain the 108 seconds of the abyss demonic beast's battle time, less than 2 minutes.

Although in the explanation given by the space, this scroll can summon one or several abyssal demonic beasts, Xu Mo estimates that if he, a reincarnation whose intelligence and spirit are not up to standard, use it, he will summon one demonic beast at most. If you want to summon other Warcraft, it is estimated that you will have to sacrifice another 3 points of the highest base caste for each one, and due to the limitation of health, the battle time of Warcraft will continue to be reduced.

Even so, this powerful scroll is still a good hole card, with the combat power of Billy's D-level exorcist, he can have a few moves with Tannis, and the C+-level combat power can be used as Xu Mo's last hole card in this world. However, once this scroll is released, in a short period of time, the enemy does not die, or he cannot escape, then when the demonic beast disappears, he has already fallen into a state of serious injury, and he will definitely die.

After Tannis handed the scroll to Xu Mo, he made a magic mark on Xu Mo so that the supporting team could find him, and then waved his hand to speed up the team's return, while Xu Mo stayed where he was and stopped moving forward. After the party disappeared into the foothills of Mount Ceylon, he turned his head, carefully studied the location of the exorcist camp on the map of Mount Ceylon, and headed in one direction, and the game began......

The location of the exorcist camp had to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, not easily discovered by the blood clan of the castle of San Cice, but also not too far from several human settlements. In other words, Xu Mo's target is around the exorcist camp, plus humans have to guard against wild demonic beasts at night in the wild, so there are not many terrains to choose from, and there is such a suitable place in the direction he is walking now.

At the dawn of the third day of Xu Mo's arrival in this world, he finally saw the gathering place of pure humans, this human village was located in a col in the Ceylon Mountains, with a small mouth and a large belly, like a big gourd. A sturdy wooden wall was built in the narrow pass, with a two-meter-long double-opening wooden door in the middle of the wooden wall, and several old guards armed with crude bows and arrows and bamboo spears stood on the wooden wall.

From the mountainside where Xu Mo stood, the entire village below was unobstructed, and dozens of thatched huts similar to those he had been in when he first entered the world were built in the col.

Although it was still dawn, there were already some old and sick people moving in the clearing of the col, and it seemed that the act was some weaving and drying of food. After observing for a while, Xu Mo chose to leave, and he had to go to some other suspicious locations to continue looking for another human gathering place.

After half a day of searching, he found two other human villages, one about the size of the first, but the last of them was very large, in a warm valley.

Xu Mo even saw the fields reclaimed in the valley, the patches of rice that were golden in color under the morning sun. There are more than 200 thatched houses in the valley, and even in the center of the valley, there is a stone three-level platform and another wooden and stone structure, with a large pavilion with a top and pillars and no walls, which seems to be an altar and a meeting place.

The common feature of the three human strongholds is that none of the young and middle-aged people have been seen, not even women and children, and only a few of the old, weak, sick and disabled remain. It seems that last night's battle has already brought word to these human villages around the exorcist camp.

Whether it was the young men who returned to the village after losing the battle, or the women and children who stayed behind, they all left the village temporarily, relying on the secret place that had been prepared in peacetime, and hid in the vast mountains of Ceylon to avoid the possible retribution of the blood clan.

After finding the human villages in this valley, Xu Mo was already very satisfied, and according to the terrain on the map at hand, he should have wiped out all the human villages with more than 100 people.

There are other potential human settlements left, the terrain has limited their size, and judging by the current situation of the three large villages, there will only be fewer old and weak people left in those settlements. Then, based on the current time, he returned to his position from the team, and the team supported by San Cisse should be almost there.

Xu Mo quietly retreated, leaving the valley and hurried to the agreed meeting place, although the werewolves of the Castle of San Cisse could use special methods to find his location at any time from the magic sign that Tannis had set up on his body, and rushed to meet him. But Xu Mo still felt that it was more appropriate to take the lead in a place far away from the human gathering place.

The mountainous terrain of the Ceylon Mountains is varied, ranging from steep cliffs to low valleys with dense shrubs, and the mountain path Xu Mo is now walking on a gentle slope with many vegetation.

Now the time has reached noon, and he is walking very fast, basically saying that he is sprinting, and in the running, Xu Mo vaguely has a sense of uneasiness, and after realizing that this is his D-level perception at work, he gradually slowed down.

However, unlike in the past, his induction this time was intermittent, if there was nothing, and it did not make him feel very dangerous. Xu Mo finally stopped after continuing to walk for a while, and closed his eyes seriously.

After a while, when he opened his eyes, he didn't feel any danger just now, but Xu Mo still frowned. After continuing to move forward, this feeling of non-existence reappeared, this time Xu Mo no longer paused, but accelerated his pace, but kept turning his head and looking around along the way, looking for something.

In this way, after running for more than 10 minutes, Xu Mo suddenly turned around and rushed back towards the road he had come, his frowning brows had been loosened, and his shining eyes kept looking at the surrounding scenery. Soon, he stopped again in a wooded woodland, walked towards a large tree beside a boulder, and when he reached the tree, he turned and sat down on the ground, and rested against the tree.

Xu Mo, who was leaning against the tree, had a trace of exhaustion on his face, took out a small wine bag from his arms and took a sip, just closed his eyes, and took a nap under the tree.

At this moment, a pitch-black dagger suddenly appeared under Xu Mo's left rib from the space and stabbed it fiercely......
