Chapter 459: Re-entering Shimen City
Don't look at Long Dang, they have explored four altars of the undead in one day, but this is from the center of Shimen City.
Next, if they want to explore more undead altars, they will either go in a farther direction, but that will definitely be much less efficient, or they will change to a large undead city as the core to explore, such as the capital of the Undead Empire, Scourge City.
But that also increases the risk.
How to choose, this is a very important question.
Long Dangdang chose both.
First, continue to explore the area around Shimen City, go farther away, and then see if you can find some patterns through the distribution of these undead altars.
If there is a pattern to follow, then it will be much easier to find more altars of the dead.
However, over the next two days, after a continuous search, they found three more altars of the undead, and their efficiency was greatly reduced.
The most frustrating thing for them is that there is no pattern in the distribution of these altars of the dead.
It's like it's completely random.
Then Long Dangdang decided to turn around and continue to explore with Scourge City as the center.
And this is undoubtedly more careful, because the possibility of encountering the undead powerhouse reconnaissance will also increase.
It turned out that their luck was still good, or maybe it was the reason why a large number of strong people in the Undead Empire were dragged to the front line, and in the next nearly a week of exploration, they were always able to hide their bodies intact, and they were not discovered, and Long Dangdang even took back his own Hidden Divine Shuttle.
After more than ten days of hard work, with Shimen City and Natural Calamity City as the core, the spatial coordinates arranged by Long Dangdang have been like dots, and with the deepening of the investigation, Long Dangdang and they have gradually found some rules.
Although there is no rule to follow in the distribution of the altar of the dead, the overall distribution is very extensive, and the reason for the irregular distribution is related to the terrain and the directional distance from the human world.
After eight days of exploration, they found sixteen altars of the dead, all of which, of course, had appeared outside the city.
Among them, the altars of the undead near Scourge City were all relatively large, and the smallest ones were about the same size as the first altar of the undead they found after coming to Shimen City.
The largest scale is at least five times that of that one, when they were exploring, although the distance was still far away, but Long Dang when they could feel the overwhelming pressure, it can be imagined that the strong man in charge of defense must be an extremely terrifying existence, they did not get too close, and immediately stayed away after leaving the coordinates, that is definitely not what they can destroy at this stage.
While exploring, Long Dangdang also continued to report the information they found to the front line through the Templar Spirit Crystal.
Including the specific location of these altars of the dead, as well as the size of the altars of the dead and some of their own judgments, were reported to the front command.
Returning to the vicinity of Shimen City, the six of Long Dangdang rested for one night and basically restored their mental state to the best.
"Tomorrow we will enter Stone Gate City to see if we can get more news, and also look for the Soul Stone."
The soul stone he got last time has basically been absorbed by Xiao Xie, and with the high-grade soul stone that he plundered a warehouse, Xiao Xie's current spiritual power level has reached a level equivalent to the peak of the eighth order of a human professional, and it is only one step away from the ninth order.
In terms of cultivation speed, it is even above Xiaoba.
Long Dangdang is now an eighth-order powerhouse, that is to say, Xiao Evil can break through to the ninth-order. And once it completes its breakthrough and becomes a real Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, then it will be of even greater help to Long Dangdang.
At the same time, infiltrating Shimen City is also to get more information, and the number of undead altars is the most important.
For entering Shimen City, everyone is more or less looking forward to it, and they also want to see what kind of situation the city of the dead will be, although they also know something from Long Dangdang's mouth, but as the so-called hearing is false and seeing is believing, who doesn't have curiosity?
Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Long Dangdang took his partners to the vicinity of Shimen City, and everyone entered the Hidden Earth Shensuo and drilled into the ground.
There are passages left by Long Dangdang before, so it is more convenient to travel; Before they knew it, they had quietly entered the Stone Gate City.
Put away the Divine Shuttle, and the sluggish realm and the aura of the little evil will be released at the same time.
Even if there were undead creatures walking in front of them, all they saw were several dead people walking together.
The powerful spiritual power of the little evil has built an illusion and other appearance for them, unless it is an existence at the ninth order spiritual power level, it is possible to discover this disguise only if it is observed at close range, provided that it is also proficient in the power of time and space, and can peek through the sluggish realm of the Slow Spiritual Furnace.
The moment they walked on the street, except for Long Dangdang, the other five people were still a little nervous in their hearts, after all, this was the top few big cities in the Undead Empire, and there must be an existence in this city that they couldn't fight against at this stage.
The number of undead on the streets is a bit scarce, and although there is no sunlight, the undead creatures are still used to being nocturnal, so the day will be a little deserted.
Looking at the undead who obeyed the order, and looking at the shops belonging to the undead world on both sides of the street, in addition to the novelty, everyone was more shocked.
There is no doubt that the appearance of the undead is no longer just a disaster.
If the original undead creatures were just raging like a germ, then the current undead creatures have really built the rudiments of a country, and they are opposed to humans, so that their ultimate goal is to destroy all human beings, become the new masters of this continent, and build the entire world into the existence of undead, devouring all the breath of life.
Coming to Shimen City again, Long Dangdang's heart was heavy, and he saw the undead in the city again, looking at those orderly but full of dead creatures, the last trace of illusion in his heart had been shattered.
Mother really wants to destroy everything!
Calming down, Long Dangdang and his companions walked through the streets while carefully observing the situation in the city, and from time to time they also used their mental power to scan.
He had been to Shimen City, so he knew the scale of the city very well.
At this time, he could already feel that the total number of undead in Shimen City had decreased, and it was not a little less.
At least more than half empty.
In other words, more than half of the undead creatures have been transferred to the front line.
Judging from the news given by the front line, although the undead country has assembled a large army, it still maintains a defensive posture on the whole, and has not launched a large-scale counterattack, as if it is waiting for something.
In this regard, the coalition side is worried, because judging from the forces gathered by the undead on the front line, they are fully capable of taking the initiative to attack, and now they are only going to defend the situation, but they have made the Temple Federation a little unable to do so, and after trying to attack several times, they have been forcefully pushed back.
From the perspective of overall strength, the Temple Federation still has a clear advantage, but the problem is that although it has an advantage, there are many human scruples, and when the two sides start a war, the first thing that humans should consider is to reduce battle damage, because once they die in battle, they are likely to appear in the enemy's camp in the next moment.
So, that's why no full-scale offensive has been launched until now.
The Federation army still hopes to reduce the overall strength of the Undead Empire by constantly attrition, and then gradually wear it out to minimize its own losses.
Relatively speaking, the undead kingdom has no worries about this at all, and once the big war starts, it is impossible for the human army to take away all the corpses, and the army of the undead kingdom can also be resurrected through the undead energy, even if the strength is weak at the beginning, but no one dares to say what the situation will be after the defeat.
But even so, the realm of the undead has always been stable and has not rushed to launch an offensive, which makes people have to wonder, what are they waiting for?
I don't know why, when I think of this question, Long Dangjing has an inexplicable sense of depression in his heart.
He still clearly remembers that on the day of the big change, his mother once said that if his younger brother regains his former strength, he can easily dominate the world with her.
The power of the younger brother? Or rather, the power of their mysterious bloodline?
Even the mother didn't seem to know exactly what the power of the bloodline was, but she knew that it was extremely powerful.
She said that she was not a child in her previous life, but the power of this bloodline was inherited by herself and her younger brother.
It's just that after the younger brother awakens some memories, the power of these bloodlines seems to be drifting in his direction.
"Where are we going now?" Ling Menglu's voice sounded in his ears, pulling Long Dangdang back from his thoughts.
Long Dangdang said, "Let's go around the streets and see how the shops that exchange soul crystals are doing."
There's no point in thinking about it now, only to make yourself stronger is the most important thing, if you can really pass the test of the Eternal and Creation God Seal Throne, then, maybe everything will be solved.
settled his mind, and Long Dangdang's eyes became firm.
Walking on the streets, the undead creatures have almost no communication with each other, for the middle and low-level undead, they only know how to obey orders, only the high-level undead above the seventh order have a certain amount of wisdom, and to the level of the eighth and ninth orders, the wisdom of the undead creatures is no different from that of normal humans.
With the exception of Long Dangdang, it was the first time that everyone else had seen the undead creatures up close in such a peaceful state.
There are not many undead in the streets during the day, and although most of them don't seem to be afraid of the light, they deliberately walk in the shadows such as under the eaves when they walk.
The city seemed to be orderly, but the atmosphere was a dead silence, an icy feeling, and even a sense of fear that made their hairs stand on end.
Yueli muttered, "It's hard to imagine how terrible it would be if the whole world became like this and became dead silent."
After listening to her words, Ling Menglu and Long Dangdang glanced at each other, what was the point of such a dead order?
At that time, it is not only human beings who will perish, but all life forms on this planet, and even the entire planet.
Long Dangdang's memory is very good, so he easily found the location of the former shop, and you can see it from a distance, although it is daytime, but in the shop, there will still be an endless stream of undead in and out, after all, exchanging soul crystals, maintaining existence and evolution, this is what all undead creatures are engraved in their bones.
"That's it." Long Dangdang stopped.
Last time, he had emptied the store's warehouse through the Hidden Divine Shuttle, causing it heavy losses.
It's been a long time, and I don't know what the situation is in its warehouse, so I think it's definitely a fortified defense.
Long Dangdang led everyone into the store, exchanged the prepared low-level equipment for a few low-level soul crystals, and at the same time quietly felt the situation in the store with his spiritual power.
In the case of not knowing the strength of the defense here, he did not dare to use spiritual detection to directly probe, so as not to be discovered.
I could vaguely feel that in this shop, there were several powerful undead aura fluctuations, at least all of them were powerhouses above the eighth order.
The Eighth Order was nothing, but in this huge Stone Gate City, the original city lord was not something they could compete with now.
If the high-level soul crystals stored here can be as many as they were when they were looted last time, they can basically be sure that they can help Xiao Xie advance to the ninth order.
After a short observation, Long Dangdang and his companions withdrew from the store, bypassed a few streets, found a remote place, released the Hidden Divine Shuttle, and drilled into the ground again, and had to observe from the ground to determine the situation of the store's warehouse.
The Hidden Earth Divine Shuttle moved forward cautiously, Xiao Xie's spiritual power was probing in front, and in the underground, the distance that the spiritual power could detect would be reduced by at least ten times, but Xiao Xie, as an eighth-order spiritual creature, its spiritual detection ability was still quite powerful.
The Hidden Earth Divine Suo stopped at a depth of about 100 meters from the warehouse where Long Dangdang had shot, and the spiritual power of the little evil approached little by little, to investigate the situation of the warehouse over there.
Soon, Long Dangdang discovered through the detection of Xiao Xie that the warehouse had been repaired, and the internal defensive energy had been significantly enhanced, and the defensive array was much thicker than before, even with his cultivation, it would take a lot of time to break it.
After a circle around the warehouse, the basic situation was determined.
The defense of the warehouse has become stronger, although it is not enough to stop the real powerhouse, but it can still be done by delaying for some time, and it will be enough for the powerhouse of Shimen City to react.
Moreover, the defense against the underground has been significantly strengthened, and it is much tighter than the previous defense.
Long Dangdang's eyes flashed, and he already had a plan!
