This world is desolate and even a little miserable, what was Fang Yan like when they came, after walking for a whole day, the place they were in was still the same, the place where they looked was barren, not to mention animals, even wild grass, a plant with extremely tenacious vitality, did not grow.

I have even seen a few fresh battlefields, where human soldiers whose blood has not yet completely cooled are lying on the ground, most of the corpses are mutilated, not like they have been killed by sharp weapons, but like they have been eaten by wild beasts. And Fang Yan and the others finally saw what the soldiers of the dark race looked like.

Judging from the corpses on the ground, they all looked different, some had snake-headed human bodies, some looked like a giant sarcoma, and some had three heads, like a group of strange creatures that had been exposed to nuclear radiation.

They decay very quickly, normally, they can rot in half a day to the point that there is no scum left, and when they rot, they will produce a thick black gas, which will gather in the air and drift to the west.

The ground was soaked with blood, and the sound of walking was terrifying.

Fang Fengbao accidentally hit the head of a dark soldier, that head was already seriously rotten, and when Fang Fengbao stepped on it like this, it was like a burst cow pill, squirting out a large amount of thick green juice, splashing Fang Fengbao's body.

Fang Fengbao wiped the juice on his body while scolding disgustingly: "In this ghost place, we haven't seen the heart of darkness yet, and I have been disgusted to death by these rotting corpses." ”

With Fang Fengbao's previous experience, everyone knew each other very well to bypass the corpse of the dark soldier, so as not to be splashed with extremely disgusting juice.

And just as Fang Yan and the others were about to leave this battlefield, suddenly, three violent explosions sounded, followed by deafening shouts of killing.

Fang Yan led everyone away without hesitation, and a moment later, they appeared on top of a low hill, and below the low hill were a large number of soldiers fighting together, and at a glance, there were more than a thousand people. The 1,000-strong people were divided into two camps, one was the Dark Soldiers, who made up seven-tenths of all numbers, and the rest were allied forces of humans and orcs.

In a one-on-one situation, humans are by no means opponents of the dark soldiers, even tall and fierce orcs can only barely fight a draw with the dark soldiers. In this situation of disparity in numbers, the human-beast alliance is fighting very hard, and its numbers are decreasing at an alarming rate, and they are soon at the end of their rope.

As soon as Fang Yan wanted to go up to help, he was stopped by Fang Fengbao and Feng Yu teaming up: "Don't go, there are too many dark soldiers, and rash action will only endanger our safety." ”

Fang Yan pushed the two of them away: "We must rescue these people and let them take us to find the gathering area of humans, otherwise we will waste too much time going around like this." ”

Hearing this, Fang Fengbao and Feng Yu had no choice but to give up and rushed into the battlefield with Fang Yan.

At this moment, the strength of the five people has reached the top of the martial arts, and as soon as they enter the battlefield, they will take the lives of the dark soldiers with the force of the wind sweeping the leaves. Maybe these dark soldiers are very strong, but for Fang Yan and them, at most, they are at the level of second-level demon beasts.

As Fang Yan and the others joined the battle, the battlefield that had already been divided between victory and defeat changed dramatically in an instant, and those already desperate human-beast alliance forces suddenly ignited new hope when they saw Fang Yan's familiar appearance and strong strength.

A human with the appearance of a leader raised his great sword in his hand and shouted, "Reinforcements are coming, destroy them in one go!"

The man-beast alliance regrouped its fighting spirit and carried out a fierce counterattack without fear of death.

Fang Yan, who had already learned to control the sword with qi, directly threw the Demon Lin Sword out and directly stabbed a dark soldier to death, and then used his true qi to control the Demon Lin Sword to fly in the air, killing the dark soldiers he came into contact with.

Senior Sister Hu also showed no weakness, holding a long sword with a ghostly posture and speed constantly wandering in the battlefield, a simple sword in her hand became the most deadly weapon, and the stumps and arms were broken everywhere she passed, and the blood flowed like a river.

Lin Feng's sword moves were even more fierce and strong, and every swing of the sword blade wrapped with true qi seemed to be doing his best, instantly taking away the lives of several dark soldiers at the same time, even if it was the residual power emanating from the blade, it would hurt the dark soldier when it touched it.

Feng Yu flew into the air with the wings of the blue butterfly, and controlled the wind element in the air to continuously condense into countless wind blades, venting from the air to the battlefield. The Wind Blade, which is unleashed with the strength of a top-notch martial artist, can instantly cut the Dark Soldier in half.

Fang Fengbao relied on a pair of iron fists, staring at him in the battlefield, any dark soldier in front of him would be killed by him with a punch, sometimes the power was too great, and the aftermath emanating from the fist would even shock several dark soldiers around him to death.

These five people are like unstoppable killing gods, rampant on the battlefield, originally the orc alliance would also attack, when they saw Fang Yan's horror, they directly gave up the attack, all turned to defense, as much as possible to reduce losses, and handed over the entire battlefield to Fang Yan and them.

Although Fang Yan and the others were unstoppable, these dark soldiers didn't seem to understand fear, even if they were moths to the fire.

The battle lasted only an hour, and the dark soldiers on the scene were all wiped out by Fang Yan and them.

Looking at the corpses, Fang Fengbao laughed: "I thought these guys were very strong, but they were all embroidered pillows, which are useless! If all the dark soldiers have this kind of strength, they don't need the help of the Human and Beast Alliance at all, and the five of us alone can directly enter the lair of the dark race and destroy the heart of darkness!"

In fact, it wasn't just Fang Fengbao who thought so, the weakness of the dark soldiers surprised everyone.

Even Fang Yan began to think about directly bypassing the Human and Beast Alliance to directly attack the dark species, but the human leader said to Fang Yan and them, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy yet, these are just the lowest level of dark species. ”

Hearing this, Fang Fengbao raised his eyebrows: "Even the lowest-level you can't beat it, it seems that you are not much better." ”

This sentence directly choked the leader's face, and he quickly changed the topic and looked at Fang Yan: "Who are you? ”

The Taiwu Secret Realm is a virtual space, but the species inside don't know that they are virtual, so Fang Yan doesn't want to tell him the truth, even if he does, he may not believe it, but will treat Fang Yan as a madman, so Fang Yan followed his words and said: "We are all outsiders passing by here, and when we saw that you were besieged by dark soldiers, we came to help." ”

Knowing that Fang Yan and the others were not Yuan Jun who had made a special trip, the human leader hurriedly thanked: "Thank you five rangers for your help, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid all of us would have died under the minions of the dark species." My name is Li Taige, I don't know how I can help you?"

Fang Yan glanced at the wounded soldiers and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Li Taige hurriedly replied: "We came from the Blackstone Fortress fifty miles away, just because we learned that there were signs of dark species activity in the vicinity, in order to avoid endangering the fortress before coming out to exterminate it, I didn't expect that there would be so many." ”

"The Blackstone Fortress is the largest human gathering area?" Fang Yan asked again.

Li Taige shook his head: "The Blackstone Fortress is just one of the many fortresses on this continent, it is a place similar to a buffer zone, and the reason why it was established is simply to protect the security of the central region. The largest human gathering area is the Golden Castle, which is located 1,000 miles away. ”

Fang Yan nodded, glanced at the bull-headed human figure standing beside Li Taige, an orc who was two meters five tall, and asked, "The orcs live with you?"

Li Taige also glanced at the minotaur and smiled: "In the past, we all had our own territories, but due to the rampant dark species, our territories had to merge together to jointly defend against the dark species. However, the living habits of us humans and orcs are too different, so we just fight together, not together, and the largest gathering area of orcs is the Thunder Moo Fortress next to Jinyao Castle. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yan looked down at the corpse of the dark species in this place: "Can you help me introduce the specific situation of the dark species?"

Li Taige nodded again and again: "Of course you can, but it's not safe around here, let's go back to the Blackstone Fortress first, and I'll tell you in detail on the way." ”

Fang Yan did not refuse Li Taige's kindness, after all, wandering in this barren world, let alone going to Jinyao Castle, I am afraid that he will starve to death before he arrives, it is better to find a foothold first.

On the way to the Blackstone Fortress, Fang Yan learned from Li Taige that the dark species can be roughly divided into three levels, namely the foundation stage, the transformation stage, and the maturity stage. The dark species that Fang Yan and the others killed belonged to the foundation stage, and they were the weakest, only equivalent to second-level demon beasts. And the strength of the dark species in the metamorphosis period will get a qualitative leap, which can rival the fourth-level demon beasts. If it reaches the maturity stage, its strength will increase a lot, which is equivalent to a sixth-level demon beast.

However, most dark species will stop advancing when they reach the metamorphosis stage, so there are not too many dark species in the mature stage.

In addition, Li Taige emphasized that the dark species in the mature stage will have a very low probability of mutation, and the dark species in the mutation period will become extremely powerful, and can even rival the eighth-level demon beasts. According to what is known so far, there are eight mutant Dark Species Guardians near the Heart of Darkness. Therefore, if you want to get close to the heart of darkness, you need to go through many levels, and it is almost an impossible task.

But even so, Fang Yan's attitude still did not waver in the slightest, even if it was a holy beast in front of him, he had to step on the corpse of the holy beast to pass, because what Fang Yan was looking forward to was not the end of the second secret realm, but the continuation of the third secret realm.
