Chapter 81: The Periphery of the Ruins
The next journey is the time of harvest. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info may have never had such a large-scale army hunting operation, and the combined forces of the Tiger Clan and the Wolf Clan have reaped a lot of benefits. Not only were the hordes of demonic beasts rounded up, but also some powerful demonic beasts that were alone were also besieged and killed alive. Seeing that more and more magic crystals were accumulating in his hands, whether it was Yarman, Salahan or Chen Tang, they all smiled.
Of course, it is not without danger, and the number of casualties among fighters continues to increase. Moreover, the types of demonic beasts are no longer limited to ordinary forms, and once Chen Tang used a dwarf musket to kill a two-headed demon bird that swooped down from the sky. The fierce bird with a wingspan of five meters unexpectedly grabbed a wolf cavalry and flew directly into the sky, if it wasn't for Chen Tang seeing the opportunity quickly, he immediately took out his musket and shot, I'm afraid that the wolf cavalry would have already entered the belly of the demon bird. Even so, the wolf cavalry fell from mid-air and almost fell into a pulp. Luckily it hung from the treetops, only minor injuries.
This is also a wake-up call for everyone...... The danger doesn't just come from within the forest.
Next to it is a turbulent river, and there are also many demonic beasts in it, and even ferocious ones can jump out of the water to sneak up on warriors close to the river. After learning Chen Tang's method of hunting and killing the snake-necked python, the soldiers of the wolf clan tied the tail end of the spear to the animal tendon rope and used it as a speargun to hunt and kill. This is a very good harvest, after all, once the water type demonic beasts leave the water, their strength will be greatly reduced.
As it progressed deeper, the strength of the Warcraft became stronger and more ferocious. But Chen Tang was still able to perceive some differences...... He found that although the demonic beasts here were much stronger, their movements were a little sluggish, and their intelligence was very low. The further you go deeper into the forest, the lower the intelligence of the monster becomes. Even if they encountered a few high-level demonic beasts that were stronger than the lion Nemo, they only knew how to attack clumsily, as if only instinct was left, and finally died in the hands of the orc army. In the end, even Yarman and Salrahan noticed this state, but fortunately, the abnormality of the Demon Beast did not affect the quality of the Demon Crystal, and they did not care, but were even happier.
Chen Tang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything wrong. Brolin asked him, and Brolin explained with a smile: "Lord Brian doesn't have to worry, although these monsters are slow and clumsy, they are okay. When you enter the central hinterland, the monsters there are simply like goose-headed geese, even if they are very strong, they are much easier to hunt and kill. That is, in the hinterland of the Warcraft Forest, it is difficult to enter, otherwise it would have been hunted and killed a long time ago. ”
"Why is this happening, are those demonic beasts affected by anything?" Chen Tang asked very strangely.
Shaking his head, Brolin said: "I don't know, maybe there aren't too many natural enemies here, so the Warcraft are more relaxed, right?"
"What does the so-called Ancient Ruins look like, can Your Excellency Brolin tell me in detail?" Chen Tang had a hunch that the abnormality of the demonic beasts here must be related to the so-called ancient ruins.
"Oh, the Ancient Ruins!" Brolin tilted his head as if reminiscing, and after a while he said slowly, "The hinterland of the Warcraft Forest is very large, but the Ancient Ruins only occupy a radius of a few miles. It used to be a huge palace, but there are no buildings on the ground except for some tall stone pillars, domes and walls. All that remains is a completely circular base made of huge stones, with a seemingly deep and bottomless cavern in the middle. The last time I went on an expedition, I was really just going around the perimeter of the stone pedestal, not the middle............ Haha, to be honest, I always felt a little frightened and intimidated by the deep cavern. In the end, he just looked around the perimeter and left. Brolin laughed self-deprecatingly, obviously feeling embarrassed to admit that he was timid in front of others.
"What kind of cave is it, since you haven't entered, how do you know that this cave exists in the center of the ruins?" Chen Tang asked.
"There are some high ground around, and if you stand on it, you can look down on the outline of the ancient ruins. The cave in the center is too obvious, and it is swarthy as if it wants to choose people to eat. Brian, I know you're curious about there, but I hope you'd better stay out of here, I have a hunch...... It won't be a good place in there, and it wouldn't be good if some kind of terrifying monster was hidden, and it wouldn't be good to provoke it!"
Chen Tang nodded noncommittally, if it was really like what Brolin said, he would naturally not be idle and approach, his curiosity was not so great.
After a few days, they finally approached the outermost part of the ancient ruins, less than ten miles from the stone pedestal in the center. But there are a lot of demonic beasts here, they are all in groups without exception, huge earth-based wild boars, demon wolves with two heads, densely packed and coiled water-based demon snakes, and overwhelming fist-sized fire-type beetles............ Rao is tiger and wolf alliance with as many as 5,000 around him, and they all gasped............ It's like a meeting of monsters, and there's all kinds of them. You can even see high-level pinnacle bipedal wyverns hovering in the sky, and there are dozens of them. It's just these bipedal wyverns, if they attack the tiger and wolf alliance like crazy, I'm afraid that if the whole army is not wiped out, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
At some point, the armies of the lion and bear also emerged from the forest in another corner of the distance, equally stunned by the scene in front of them. With the fury of the bear king, he also had a gloomy face and did not dare to act rashly.
There are too many demonic beasts here, and many people dare not start easily. Brolin's face was pale, and in the face of Yarman's inquiry, he said with some uneasiness: "There are too many, how can there be so many? When I came here a few years ago, I had never seen such a terrifying number." ”
"Brolin, what will the demonic beasts be preparing to do when they gather outside the ancient ruins?" Chen Tang asked in a deep voice, he was also cautious, telling the lion Nemo to be ready, and once the demonic beasts went berserk, they could flee for their lives at any time.
"Usually they gather on the periphery of the ancient ruins, and then they go inside, and they follow a very mysterious queue, as if someone is driving them. Brolin explained, "I secretly checked here once back then, and when the beast walked into the stone pedestal of the ruins, it would circle around the stone steps and leave in the other direction. In the end, they all came out with some mental malaise, and there was no big deal. As for what happened at the core of the ruins, I don't know because I didn't dare get too close. ”
Weird, surprisingly weird! Hearing Brolin's explanation, he didn't dare to act rashly. And at this time, those demonic beasts that gathered together finally moved!
The group of dozens of earth-based demon mink at the front began to walk towards the center of the ruins, even if they were still ten miles away from the stone disc base of the core at the moment, they did not speed up, and just crawled slowly. This was followed by a group of water demon rabbits. Move forward slowly, and keep a distance from the earth-based marten, which will never be exceeded. Then there is a flock of foxes of the fire type, and then a blue bird of the wind type...... These birds, which are supposed to fly, are actually bouncing on the ground, as if they can't fly with their wings.
Behind the wind bluebird is a group of bright white sheep, which seems very gentle, silently kicking and accompanying them, followed by a group of dense black scorpions, and their bodies are surging with the magic of the dark system. Then followed by the scorpion was a group of earth-based demonic beasts............
Just lined up like this, many demonic beasts silently moved forward. Chen Tang was keenly aware of something--these demonic beasts actually walked towards the center of the ruins in turn in the order of earth, water, fire, scenery and darkness, was it a coincidence?
Somehow, Chen Tang's heart was beating violently, and the uneasiness became more and more intense!
