Chapter 131: Sword Intent and Secret (Part II)
Early in the morning, the vehicles of the Moonlit Night Merchant Group slowly left the southeast fortress and headed in the direction of the demons. After receiving instructions from the Warrior Temple, I relaxed a lot along the way.
Long Haochen and his companions sat in a carriage in the middle of the merchant group.
It's finally time to enter the territory of the demons again, and they will also start their new mission journey. The mood of entering the demon race this time is different from before. If they were nervous or excited before, then now they are much calmer and more confident than before.
The Moonlit Night Merchant Group was wealthy, and the carriage Long Haochen and the others were riding in at this time was exactly the same as the one they rode in when they first followed the Moonnight Merchant Group into the Demon Clan.
The carriage was spacious, warm, and there was even a table next to it with a special food cabinet with a large amount of food prepared.
Lifting the curtains, Long Haochen looked out. Departing at dawn, out of the southeast fortress at this time, the sky outside has gradually brightened, but the weather is not very good, and the sky is gray.
Long Haochen took out a roll of sheepskin maps from the Eternal Melody and spread it out on the table in the carriage.
This map has dense annotations, on which there is the distribution of the various provinces of the demon race, and the location of the demon race and the demon god in each province. I'm afraid that even the official of the Temple Alliance may not have such a detailed map.
This map was naturally obtained by Long Hao for the help of the moonlit night, and she put forward a condition, that is, Long Haochen must not hand over this map to the alliance security side.
Long Haochen pointed to a city in the Narik Province and said: "Here, this is the capital of the Narik Province, and it is also the place where the Bird Demon is stationed, our first task will be completed here, about tonight, the caravan on a moonlit night will be able to arrive at the Demon Border Guard Camp If everything goes well, tomorrow at noon, the caravan will pass through Naduo City, the capital of Narik Province, for a simple rest." After the last time the Moonnight Merchant Group was ambushed, now that the Moonnight Merchant Group is under a very loose investigation in the Demon Clan, we will take this opportunity to go to Naduo City first to complete the task of killing the five Golden Bird Demons. Then follow the caravan and continue to go deep into the interior of the demons. ”
Wang Yuanyuan said: "Commander, after we follow the caravan into Naduo City, will we assassinate the Golden Bird Demon will make the caravan attract the attention of the Naduo City Demon Clan." According to the map, there is a demon god in the city. ”
Long Haochen nodded and said, "It is inevitable to arouse suspicion. However, even if suspicion is aroused, they may not dare to search the caravan, and even if they do, can we be searched?" said this, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
Wang Yuanyuan suddenly realized and nodded again and again. The others couldn't help but smile on their faces. Yes, it was not an easy task to search for Long Haochen and them.
Why did Long Haochen dare to take on sixteen tasks, including a difficult task to hunt down the Seventy-Two Pillar Demon God? In addition to their confidence in their own strength, the most important thing was that they had a life-saving means that other demon hunting groups did not have, that is, the mouth of the Tower of Eternity had this place of existence, and when they encountered a strong enemy, they could completely avoid its edge.
A faint light flickered, and Long Haochen's face revealed a trace of cold divine light, "Okay, then the first step plan is decided." I'll ask the people from the Moonnight Merchant to help us determine the location of the Golden Bird Demon This time, in order to be able to complete the kill in the shortest possible time, we must disperse the operation. Cai'er and I each killed a Golden Bird Demon by ourselves. Lin Xin, you are in a group with Han Yu, and you are responsible for killing the Golden Bird Demon Han Yu with the Blue Fire Phoenix Spirit Furnace to answer you. Yuan Yuan and Sima, you are each responsible for a golden bird demon, and Sakura is responsible for receiving you. ”
"Yes. Everyone agreed, and their eyes were full of excitement.
After nearly a year of retreat, they already had a feeling of being ready to go, and they had the opportunity to hunt the demon race again, and this time many of them would face the sixth-order demon clan like the Golden Bird Demon alone, which was unimaginable when they encountered such a powerful creature for the first time! But at this time, they were full of confidence.
The process of entering the territory of the demon clan was very smooth, as Long Haochen said, the treatment received by the moonlit night merchant group after entering the territory of the demon clan was much better than that of the temple alliance. Many demon gods of the demon clan already knew that Moon Night would be the crown prince of the Demon Dragon Clan and the crown princess of the heir of the Demon God Emperor, who would dare to carefully inspect the Moon Night Merchant Group? Not to mention the lesson of the last time the three demon gods mobilized a large army to loot the Moon Night Merchant Group, therefore, no matter where the merchant group went, it was all the way unimpeded.
This is also the reason why Long Haochen values the Moonlit Night Business Group, with this umbrella, they can save a lot of trouble. What's more, the Moonlit Night Merchant Group can also provide him with a lot of important information. It seemed that many of the sixteen missions were very difficult, but with the help of the Moonnight Merchant Group, their troubles could be reduced by at least one-third, and the danger would inevitably be greatly reduced.
Successfully passed the demon border checkpoint, and the next morning, the merchant group had already penetrated into the demon Narik Province, and as Long Haochen calculated, at noon, they arrived at Naduo City, the capital of Narik Province. The caravan will also take a temporary break here for an hour before continuing their departure.
For a wandering merchant of the size of the Moonnight Caravan, they would not live in an inn at all in the course of trade, and living in an inn would undoubtedly greatly increase the cost and reduce the efficiency, and they would rest wherever they went with tents in their carriages. Therefore, after entering the city, the main thing is to replenish water and some food. At the same time, some of the goods brought to the city were traded. An hour is enough. The people in the city who already have the Moonlit Night Merchant Group have already prepared everything to wait for them, so that the efficiency of the merchant group can be maximized.
Soon, the merchant group stopped in the city on a moonlit night, and after about half a cup of tea, the steward of the merchant group quietly came to the carriage where Long Haochen was and stuffed a paper ball in.
Long Haochen opened the paper ball, and inside was a simple map of Naduo City, marked with five red dots.
Long Haochen spread out the map for his partners to memorize carefully, and then waved his hand slightly, and everyone quietly got out of the car, each heading in a different direction.
That steward was the general person in charge of the Moonlit Night Merchant Group this time, and he was also one of the most trusted people in the Moonlit Night, before coming to Naduo City, Long Haochen had explained to him the requirements for investigating the location of the Golden Bird Demon, and he had also arranged it in advance, so he could provide Long Haochen with the specific location of the five Golden Bird Demons immediately after coming here.
The steward chosen by the Moon Night was originally the eyeliner that the Temple Alliance had planted in the Moon Night Merchant Group, and he was also a human being. Naturally, he is not afraid of anything wrong with him. Of course, he only vaguely knew the identity of Long Haochen and their demon hunters, and he didn't know which demon hunting group it was.
Long Haochen's seven people were all dressed similarly, each of them was covered in a heavenly cloak, wearing hats, and they couldn't see their appearance.
This kind of costume is not uncommon in the demon race, but there are many of them. Because of the environmental damage in the Demon Clan's territory over the years, the wind and sand are much larger than those in the Temple Alliance.
The high-level demons like to wear this kind of big cloak when they go out. At the same time, Long Haochen's eyes naturally turned purple, disguised as the appearance of the Moon Demon Clan.
When arranging the operation, Long Haochen arranged it very cleverly, he and Cai'er were on one side, and the other three targets were in the center, so that if there was a problem, they could go to the rescue as soon as possible. With the existence of soul chains, whoever encounters a powerful attack, they will naturally feel it.
Long Haochen walked very fast, this was the first time that everyone dispersed, he was still a little worried in his heart, as soon as possible to complete the task on his side and then go to pick up his partners, this is what he and Cai'er must do.
According to the memory map, Long Haochen kept heading east.
Although Naduo City is the capital of Narik Province, it is not very big in itself, and most of the people walking on the streets are demons, of course, low-level demons like ordinary Twin Sword Demons are not allowed to enter the city. And when these demons saw Long Haochen's costume and human form, they all avoided it from a distance, and they didn't dare to approach it at all.
The reason is very simple, only the high-level demons are humanoid, and they will dress up like Long Haochen. Moreover, the perception of demons is more sensitive than that of humans, although they can't feel Long Haochen's attributes, they can vaguely feel a trace of danger coming from him, at least subconsciously unwilling to approach him.
Soon, Long Haochen saw where his goal was.
It's a somewhat humble restaurant, and the signs are all crooked. Although the demons occupy most of the territory of the Gods and Demons Continent, the demons are deeply influenced by humans. In particular, human food is very fond of the demons. The higher the demon race, the more they enjoy eating and drinking human food.
Therefore, the treatment of human beings in the demon race has changed dramatically from the time when the dark ages just came six thousand years ago to the present. Even if the humans are captured from the side of the Temple Alliance, they will be treated well on the side of the demons. Of course, the prerequisite is that these humans surrender. If a chef is caught, it will even require the demon nobles to come forward and envelop him.
The province of Narik is located on the border, but it is very poor, otherwise, the three demon gods would not dare to send a large army to attack the Moonlit Night Merchant Group last time. Here, even if it's just a small restaurant, only powerful demons are qualified to enjoy it.
For example, the small restaurant in front of you looks very dilapidated, with four distinct black marks under the signboard. This means that only demons above the fourth order can enter. That's class.
Long Haochen slowly walked into the restaurant, his eyes swept over the small hall, and he saw his target at a glance.
A golden fowl demon was sitting in one of the best seats inside, eating and drinking. Four dishes, and even a pot of wine. It looks like it's very good.
Because it was noon, there were a lot of demons eating in the dining room, most of them were fourth- and fifth-order demons. There is only one sixth-order Golden Bird Demon. And its golden skin is so obvious.
The seventh watch, ask for a monthly pass. I really hope that our monthly pass can rush to the forefront, and the third child has done his best. I still want to be eighth, nineth, tenth. Give me strength, fellows of the Tang Sect.
Ask for a commuter pass or a recommended ticket.
