Chapter 87: The Doubtful Cloud of the Traverser, the Shadow Behind the Abyss (Rebuilt)
Even if it's the same thing, because of the different heights and perspectives, the final perception will be very different.
For high-level lifeforms, for those in high positions, it may be that the Demon Kingdom's attack on the Dragon God Church is very fast, and the land of Nuo Da, the sacrificial fire nodes everywhere, poured down and swept away.
Even if they have any battle damage, it will only be a line of meaningless data that is reported to them.
Anyway, the Demon Legion doesn't need a pension!
But in fact, in the latitude of real time, two years have passed since this war, and the war has changed many, many things, the fate of many demons has been rewritten, and many demons have been swallowed up by the whirlpool of war, and then died.
Pierced in the heart, decapitated, and smashed. But as an abyssal demon, there is nothing to complain about with such an ending, at least these deaths are better than starving to death.
The former time-travelers were happy, and today's Demon Blue Scale is glad that he belongs to the group whose fate was changed by the war, although the direction of change is not necessarily good.
In this undercurrent of the turbulent whirlpool of war, even if he made the most correct judgment and choice again and again, the little chips and capital that he had spent more than ten years hard to accumulate in his hands finally disappeared in the strangulation of this war.
At the beginning of the war, Blue Scale was forcibly brought to the battlefield by his demonic father, who was reluctant to leave him at home...... You brought me in, do you think that your fox wife won't steal people? I stay in the devil's cave, you may or may not wear a cuckold, but if you bring me out, the green hat on your head will have to be worn as a green prairie!
However, words like this, if you don't want to die, you can't say it after all.
Or, the Demon Leader Father didn't have any concept of a green hat at all, and the reason why he brought out the blue scales was just to use the Demon Heir's mind and strategy, which was obviously superior to ordinary demons.
Abyss demons are not stupid, on the contrary, their innate intelligence level is quite high, but there is basically no acquired education, coupled with the dual limitations of environment and vision, their innate intelligence level is difficult to show the level corresponding to intelligence.
And happy, he lived to be in his seventies and almost eighty years old in the era of science and technology in the information explosion, and he had been crawling all his life in his previous life, not to mention that people have become old and refined, at least its intelligence is generally stronger than that of ordinary demon commanders, and this is the reliance on which it depends, so it is more eye-catching and obvious.
When an ordinary demon leader is in trouble, his usual reaction is to cut a sword before anything else, and if he really can't cut it, he will use his brain, and Blue Scale, at least for the time being, does not have the deep confidence of "cutting a sword if there is nothing to do".
Fighting on the front line, under the selection and operation of Blue Scale, at least in the early stage of the war, this demon leader team did take a lot of advantage, but with the continuous increase in the intensity of the war, the demon leader of Blue Scale's father was transferred to the front line, and there was no strength as a guarantee, and the so-called resourcefulness was fragile.
Blue Scale's own team of Gnoll Axes was clearly overwhelmed, and as the war wore on, it gradually had only two Gnoll guards left in its hands.
Fortunately, Blue Scale has also entered the first-order mature demon state from a zero-order small demon in the two-year war, and it has exhausted its efforts to make a three-arrow repeating crossbow for itself, glad that it was an engineering mechanic back then, although it was not a lover of ancient military equipment in his previous life, but after ten years of painstaking research, coupled with its original mechanical foundation, it still has something to achieve after all.
In the happy memory, the earliest crossbow machine seems to have been recorded in the "Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period", and there are records that the Qin army at that time was equipped with a large number of crossbows, which means that the appearance of crossbows was even earlier than the horse pedals used by cavalry.
Li Qian, the most outstanding director of Chilong in the 21st century, once performed the style of the ancient Qin army's crossbow array in his classic movie "No Name".
The crossbow is like a locust, which is an overview of the power of the crossbow machine by the ancients, to describe its fast, ruthless and lethal horror.
According to historical records, in the Western Han Dynasty, the range of the military rhubarb crossbow at that time had reached a distance of about 400 meters, and its power was almost not weaker than that of firearms in close combat.
The farming people have few horses and few knights, and the nomads are just the opposite, and those who have a little understanding of military affairs can clearly understand the strategic significance of war horses in ancient warfare and the strengthening of combat power.
However, the ancient ancestors of the Red Dragon relied on the technical superiority of the crossbow machine to repeatedly defeat their opponents on the frontal battlefield, which was really a rebellious achievement to a certain extent.
A knight who is skilled in bows and horses, as long as he breaks through the infantry formation, can kill hundreds of people in a chaotic battle, such as cutting grass, and the difference in combat power between horses and horses is so huge.
Blue Scale made a crossbow body with the spine of a great demon, used its ribs as a crossbow arm, and used its tendons to make strings, when this three-arrow continuous demon power crossbow was manufactured, the abyssal magic spread, and Blue Scale also evolved from a zero-order demon boy to an abyss demon boy because of the extreme devotion of his mind.
In the process of evolution, the core talents of the demon chosen by Blue Scale are concealment and quenching, and at the same time, the three-arrow continuous fire demon crossbow seems to be integrated with it, and the two sides will produce a sense of blood connection just by touching, Blue Scale needs this continuous fire demon crossbow to increase the guarantee of survival for himself, and this continuous fire demon crossbow can also only have the highest power in Blue Scale's hands.
From zero to third, below the legendary, there is no qualitative change in the rank essence of lifeforms, and there is no qualitative change in combat power.
In other words, a strong third-order veteran party is strong, and there is a chance of winning the lottery jackpot to be killed by a zero-order juvenile, for example, in the history of martial arts, Chen Xuanfeng, who is known as a bronze corpse, was stabbed by a runny young boy at the door of the dantian, and his death can be described as aggrieved.
Chen Xuanfeng's martial arts should be relatively close if he is not a legend. In other words, in the case that there is no essential gap between the strong third order and the first order, the blue scale crossbow is in the hand, the latent shape, and the crossbow arrow is quenched, and it really has the ability to challenge beyond the level.
Leapfrogging challenge, this term only has practical meaning after the legend, on the contrary, the first order killing the third order is not very common among the heavens, but it is not too unusual.
Blue Scales has camouflage consciousness, although it has a chameleon-like latent ability, but this sturdy little devil still decorates a large number of green leaves on his own demonic crossbow as a cover, this carefulness coupled with the jungle environment, makes Blue Scales turn into a terrifying hunter, just a team of twenty abyssal lizardmen was defeated by them, and Blue Scale's killing accounted for almost half of the team's killing.
At this moment, the demon team on this side of the Demon Kingdom is chasing and killing the escaped Abyssal Lizardmen, among them is a powerful Abyss Lizardman swordsman, the knife is fast and ruthless, and most importantly, ...... Its knives should be worth a lot of money.
There are only five demon squads on this side of the Demon Kingdom, and one of them died in the battle just now, that is a third-order berserker demon, wielding a huge stone hammer with amazing power, and the running speed is almost galloping, but this is such a monster that also died in the encounter just now, which shows that the absolute strength on the battlefield is not the only one.
(Thankfully, though, the stonehead and the lizardman swordsman fought to defeat each other, otherwise it wouldn't have been someone chasing whom.) Blue Scale held his demonic crossbow and ran through the primeval jungle, two years have passed, and now the Demon Kingdom's crushing of the Dragon God Church has been completed, as long as the upper echelons do not reverse the result, the war will soon be over.
And at this time, it is the time to strive to obtain military merits and loot, in the endless abyss, fighting and fighting are certainly dangerous, but what is even more dangerous is that there is no chance to fight and fight, the winner of the battle can get food and evolution, and if you enter a certain Jedi with the change of the flowing soil, travel a long distance in the desert, shiver in the glacier, and have no legendary strength, ordinary first- to third-order demons enter this desperate situation, and they are basically declared dead.
If you can't survive the next change in the flowing soil, you will become a demon dry in the desert, or a demon frozen corpse in the ice and snow.
........................
Three days later, in the middle of the primeval jungle.
With his left hand, he grabbed a green snake that stretched down in the shade of the tree next to him, and then pinched it to death.
The faint blue nails popped out like a sharp knife to dig out the green snake's venom sac and put it in his own waist bag, and then the blue scales stuffed the snake corpse into his mouth and chewed and swallowed, bloody mouth, humans will be afraid of germs or schistosomes and the like, but demons basically don't get sick.
Of course, this is also likely to be "survivorship bias", because sick demons are dead, thus giving the world the perception that demons don't get sick at all.
But regardless of whether the demon will get sick or not, Blue Scale knows very well that he needs food more now, in order to hunt down the abyssal lizardman swordsman who has been seriously injured, he has not slept well for three days, if the nutrition of food can no longer keep up, Blue Scale is really worried that he will suddenly fall to the ground and die in the next pursuit.
This, again, is an ordinary demon who does not have the concept of knowledge, and the abyssal demon usually does not know what it is: sudden death!
Devouring food, mouthful of blood, but satisfied.
In the next second, a black shadow struck down from the tree, carrying a strong wind, and the whistling sound of breaking through the air was like some kind of sharp weapon like a sword.
(Damn!)
Holding the crossbow machine, it rolled sideways violently, but still felt a heat in its back muscles, and Blue Scale cursed in her heart, but it didn't dare to stop in the slightest, and crawled to the denser grass on the side, trying its best to hide itself.
It's not that he's afraid, but Blue Scale is very aware of his strength position in the Endless Abyss, and he is still at the bottom of the entire food chain!
However, it was useless, the sound of the claws breaking the wind behind him was still coming, and the blue scales pulled the trigger behind him one after another, and the crossbow bolts collapsed and ejected, and I don't know if they really shot the opponent or had scared them back, all in all, the attack behind him was no longer so violent and ferocious, and he was in hot pursuit.
Suddenly turned around with his back against a big tree, although his back against a big tree is not necessarily safe, but at least it is relatively safe, or is there really an absolute safety in this endless abyss world of the lower plane?
Sweating all over its body, holding the demonic crossbow, Blue Scale turned around to see the enemy attacking him, and at the same time, at this moment, it had time to feel the hot and slashing wounds behind it...... This is a good thing, at least it shows that the other party's claws are not quenched, if they are injured but there is no pain, they are estimated to be here today.
The sneak attacker who attacked the blue scales was a humanoid monster, the height of an ordinary adult human, but the skin was like a chameleon shining with a mimicry luster, the muscles were damaged, the body was strong and slender, its arms were longer than the knees, and its palms were a pair of huge claws, and each one was like a jet-black sharp dagger, quite sharp.
Latent, hunting demons. It is similar to the assassins and thieves in the mid-plane adventurer team, but because of the quality bonus brought by the demon's bloodline, even if it is close combat with a human warrior of the same level under the rage, it will not be inferior at all.
It is worth mentioning that it is not an enemy on the side of the Dragon God Church, on the contrary, this hunting demon is on the side of the Demon Kingdom.
"Little thing, throw the weapon in your hand, and I'll let you go alive. "Abyssal language, also known as demon language, although no one will teach it, as long as the creatures that survive in the endless abyss world, they will naturally understand it as they grow up, and it is the "official" language of the abyss, which is different from orc language and dragon language.
“...... Want my crossbow, okay. Kill me, you take it. He smiled, and his mouth was full of red blood between his white teeth.
Only those who are frightened will believe the words of this bastard in front of them. Five fingers stretched out sharp teeth and fingers on the crossbow machine, Blue Scale was not sure that he could fight the hunting demon in front of him who was at least a second-order strong, but he was at least sure enough that the other party would not get anything except his own corpse.
In my last life, I went out to work when I was young, and I was paid by the black-hearted boss, and I was caught and beaten when I was a cow and a horse...... Then you get the wages you deserve.
It is not to promote this way of doing things, but to describe that when facing oppression, there is no more choice than hysteria and higher costs to fill it.
At this moment, the joy of the year and the blue scale of today are integrated, and its hysteria and determination make the hunting demon in front of him feel taken into account, just as the black-hearted boss of the year may not be afraid of happiness, but just seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and choose a lower-cost solution as much as possible.
As if its body was spreading and dissolving into a wave of water, the hunting demon didn't say anything and disappeared without a trace.
But Lan Liang knew very well in his heart that the other party was far from being comparable to the black-hearted boss of the barbecue stall back then.
Now that the guy has seen the value of the repeating crossbow in his hand, he won't stop until he kills himself. The current retreat is just looking for the next opportunity to attack, and he can't get away with it every time.
"Hoo ......"
(At least, Lao Tzu managed to survive another wave today.) Boom, while the blue scales were enjoying themselves in the bitterness, a huge shock and explosion roared suddenly came from the distance in the sky, and the blue scales followed the prestige, and the explosion just now was because Xiuya slashed the half-dragon demon god Andyak with all his strength, even if it was thousands of miles away, the energy diffusion scene like the explosion of the nuclear bomb was very clear.
However, the sense of time of high-level lifeforms is far greater than that of ordinary lifeforms, especially in the combat state.
Therefore, when the blue scale followed the prestige, the picture it saw was already a white mist lingering in the sea of clouds, the huge robe sleeves stretched, and a huge and luxurious golden western dragon shrouded in the wide robe sleeves, its body shrunk more and more, and finally was engulfed in a shroud, leaving only a terrible dragon roar resounding in this heaven and earth.
"Damn, why is this move so much like Zhen Yuanzi's sleeve? His Majesty Constantine can't be the same as me, and he is also a traverser of the Red Dragon Empire, right?"
“...... What did you just say?" The next moment, a steady and gentle male voice suddenly sounded on his side, and the blue scales were so frightened that he instinctively turned sideways to avoid the tumbling shot, and a set of tactical moves were completed in one go.
However, when Blue Scale stood up, he found that the demonic crossbow that seemed to be an extension of his body had disappeared and was no longer in his hands.
"This thing is well done, three arrows in a row, and it can also draw the abyss magic power to enchant and melt for you, which shows how much effort you put into it. Zhu Peng played with the crossbow machine in his hand, which was too fragile for him as a toy now.
But...... Not every traverser has a complete martial arts and Dan Dao inheritance like himself.
To be able to make such a thing in the middle of the endless abyss, this "little guy" in front of him is really outstanding.
In the Church of the Dragon God, the half-dragon demon god Antiak was killed by General Nino Constantine, and immediately after, the Dragon God Fortress fell. The territory and power of the Demon Kingdom have increased geometrically.
Next, of course, there is a celebration banquet and a reward for the land. However, Zhu Peng did not participate in the whole process that followed, Xiuya's healing, and all the remaining rewards were presided over by Eluli and Egad and others, but fortunately, everything had a precedent, so no demon leader dared to make trouble.
It may not be fair to divide the territory of the Demon Ruler by drawing lots, after all, the core demonic abilities chosen by some demons are limited spell-like abilities such as wishing and luck, but on the one hand, few Demon Commanders dare to play like this in front of the superiors, and they have not been discovered.
What's more, Zhu Peng actually didn't care about fairness or unfairness, for him, the entire Demon Kingdom was just a temporary tool, which had to be discarded after all.
In a room in the Dragon God Fortress, under Zhu Peng's inquiries and hints from time to time, Blue Scales or Happiness, almost like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, clearly recalled and detailed what he ate every day from childhood to adulthood in his previous life.
In this process, Happy was almost unable to control himself, he knew that it was the terrible demon in front of him who controlled him, but he collapsed in his chair afterwards, and Happy couldn't feel any resentment in his heart, because he knew very well that with the ability of a fourth-order or even a transcendent fifth-order demon lord, the other party could completely extract his soul, but he had to chew and taste it little by little, instead of being as troublesome as now, and he had to help himself recall many things in his previous life through various suggestive abilities.
"I basically got it. Rest well, magical Red Dragon Empire traverser. Well, this kind of thing is actually not uncommon in the multiverse, and many evil mages in the middle plane carry with them some of their memories after being reincarnated in the Endless Abyss, but not as clear as you. ”
"Given your talent, you'll be the assistant to the head of the Dragongod Fortress, but Egad spends most of his time obsessed with studying magic, so you'll have a lot to do, so rest well. ”
Dressed in a casual robe, with gentle and gentle words, if it weren't for the extension of the top horns on the skull, the general in front of him would not look like a high-level demon. Counterpart...... Is it also a time-traveler like yourself?
........................
Leaving the room, the interested smile on Zhu Peng's face disappeared.
(Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created people, the leader of the Three Qing Sects, the Xia Shang and Western Zhou, the civilization history of the Red Dragon Planet is almost exactly the same as that of the earth...... It's just that it distorted the Three Kingdoms era, let Liu Bei win the world, and at the same time deleted the part of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs and the history of modern humiliation, which one is the great power to copy another Yanhuang civilization in the middle plane?) closed his eyes, calmed down the violent fluctuations in his mind, and was happy to know nothing, so he didn't know what it meant.
However, Zhu Peng knew, so he knew too well the difficulty of replicating civilization. At least, even one's true body can't do it at all, and to do it to this extent, do you need the power of the seventh order, the eighth order, or the ninth order?
(No, just one person's words, just one person's words...... Inexplicably, I thought of a possibility. Frightened, Zhu Peng hurriedly extinguished this thought of himself, and a happy instinctive whisper could give birth to an induction, and if it was that existence, if things were really as he had just thought, that existence might even be able to sense it even if he just gave birth to this thought!
(hehehehehe...... Is it just these two of the Earth's Yan Huang and the Red Star Red Dragon Empire? Or are there countless replicas and projections in this multiverse? There should be many, many of them, otherwise, the chance of me and Happy meeting is infinitely close to zero. The thoughts in his mind fluctuated violently, Zhu Peng forced his mind, and then he found a random room, laid down a magic enchantment, and began to meditate on the ground.
I don't know how long it took, but it was probably two natural days.
When Zhu Peng opened his eyes again, his eyes had already returned to calm and indifference. Whether it is a chess piece or not, whether it is in the game or not, I will face it with a pure yang dao heart, the strength of the soul, the tempering of the body, if I will hit the south wall forward, I will also break the south wall.
When Zhu Peng untied the enchantment and walked out of the room, he saw Ailuli who was a little anxious at the door, and at the same time sensed the huge aura in the palace.
"It's nothing, don't worry, if you don't have this patience as a mage, it won't be able to get to where it is today. Stretching out his hand to caress Luli's smooth side face, Zhu Peng said with a smile, two days have allowed him to digest that huge secret, and once again regain his calm and strolling temperament.
"I'm not afraid of her, I'm worried about you, and I thought you were seriously injured. Throwing herself into the man's arms and quibbling softly, the blonde pseudo-Lori was a little greedy to absorb and feel the safe breath on this man's body, in front of him, it seemed that nothing was difficult to do, and in front of him, it seemed that the endless abyss world was no longer so dark and forever.
When Zhu Peng saw the Undead Emperor Yier, he found that people were indeed not in a hurry, this bone shelf had almost moved the laboratory to Zhu Peng's living room, and when he opened the door and walked in, Zhu Peng almost thought that he had stepped into another dimension.
On all sides, there are bottles and cans filled with various liquids, seven-story metal pavilions, and the ground is covered with white bones, and with Il's will, some white bones on the ground will form human shapes or fly directly, assisting Ilr to complete one data calculation after another.
Zhu Peng didn't bother the other party, and it wasn't whether this guy had calculated it, it happened to be two and a half days before this round of experiments in his hands was completed.
"No, you want the Abyss Prophet. After the experiment was completed, the black-robed bone shelf pushed a wooden box in front of Zhu Peng, and it seemed unwilling to speak more, and it was concise and to the point.
"............" opened the wooden box, and from inside there was a golden light floating and diffusing a brilliant light, and in the core of that light, there was a rune spinning, as if there was a majestic power in it.
"This is the Godhead of the God of Foreknowledge?"
"Don't you want to escape from the abyss? refine this godhead, activate its power once, you can find the answer you want, after you leave, the Demon Kingdom and the Dragon God Church will be mine. "And most importantly, with Zhu Peng's departure, the will of the abyss can only reunite back into the blood-stained shroud, the body of the undead Emperor Yir.
In fact, this is also the reason why Yir cooperated with Zhu Peng, using his hands to eradicate the two old enemies, and then get the ancient Castlevania Boidane, even if it is slightly more expensive to pay for the godhead of the god of prophecy, but it is still worth it.
"At least until the Demon Kingdom and the power system here collapse on their own, you can't occupy this place, after all, it's the old man who has accompanied me to the present day, and I don't want to have no explanation for them......" Eluli and Xiuya are going to take them away, but Zhu Peng has no interest in taking away the demons such as the corpse demon Sambas, the succubus Kani, the dark mage Egad, and the blue scales.
"I can digest Francis's territory first, here in Boidan and the Dragon God Church, what if I give them two hundred years, the more the number of demons multiplies, the greater my final gain. "The red-eyed skeleton in the robe was unexpectedly easy to speak, or it was originally thinking this in its heart, the human power system is not easy to establish, and once it is established in the endless abyss, there will be proportional multiplication in a short period of time, until this proliferation crushes the entire system.
In fact, this is also the reason why the Chinese feudal dynasties in the earth era often only had three hundred years of national fortune, the population was uncontrolled and exceeded the growth of the level of productivity, and finally supplemented by natural and man-made disasters, completely crushing the political system, and then a chaotic war, killing and killing, after the population plummeted, a new cycle began.
Putting the human power system in the abyss world will also be such a reincarnation, when the human power system collapses from the inside, an abyss demon lord will come forward and bring it back to the abyss power system.
It's ridiculous, many demons only see the prosperity in front of them, they don't know that the destruction after this prosperity is proportional to it, and the more prosperous and beautiful, the more cruel and dripping the destruction will be.
And prosperity and destruction like this are just whispering transactions between two demon lords, Zhu Peng believes that he is obliged to at least give them prosperity and happiness within his control, and as the eternal Emperor of the Undead, Yir doesn't mind a short period of two hundred years, in fact...... It greedily looks forward to the great slaughter and destruction in two or three hundred years, and perhaps that may bring further progress to itself.
The Demon Kingdom swallowed up the Church of the Dragon God, and the forces of the Blood-Stained Shroud, the Undead Emperor, swallowed up the original power of Francis, the Iron Hand Lord.
This kind of provocative move made many demon leaders secretly think that the imposing demon kingdom would soon send troops again to attack the land of the dead, but ...... No, all possible predictions almost did not happen, and after the Battle of the Dragon God Fortress, General Nino Konstantin and his two wives disappeared from public view.
The operation of the vast demon kingdom is gradually led by Kani and Egad, and the relatively simple-minded Sambas is gradually excluded from the core of power, and a demon named Blue Scale gradually rises to the throne in this competition. With its superior wisdom and ability, it has slice a slice of the cake of power in the Demon Kingdom.
However, Zhu Peng, who was refining and dissolving the godhead of the God of Prophecy while watching all these changes with a cold eye, was not optimistic about Blue Scale's choice. It's putting too much effort into fighting for a toy that is bound to be destroyed.
Although as a traverser, happiness may not be able to see the hidden danger, but after all, he is still too young, he is confused by the hundred years of stability that the entire demon kingdom can expect, after all, in his memory, two or three hundred years is already a prosperous dynasty, and it is worth risking his life to fight.
In the faint sigh, Zhu Peng stimulated the power of the prophetic godhead at one time and found the coordinate node to return to the world of seeking immortals. In the golden thunder sword light, Zhu Peng took Aluli and Xiuya away from the dynasty he had established single-handedly.
