Chapter 806: A Costly Trick to Lure the Enemy
Chen Xi stood on the empty field, looking at the only place in front of him that made people feel alive.
In front of him was the castle that Xu Ji had abandoned. At this time, Xu Ji took a large number of true gods and had already entered the rear of the Demon Domain. After confirming that there were not many real masters in the Demon Domain, the attack of the Divine Domain had begun to accelerate, and there were no longer too many concerns. The demigods, on the other hand, still have to face the army of the Demon Domain and continue to fight to the death.
Whenever he thought of what Xu Ji said, about the life and death of the demigods, Chen Xi felt a little chilled.
That's right, Her Highness is the child born to the Lord of the Divine Domain and a woman from the Demon Domain. That's right, the Lord of God's Domain is full of hatred in his heart. But how innocent these demigods are. They were unable to choose their origins, but they had to endure retribution from the Lord of the Divine Realm. The Lord of the Divine Domain just wants to use their lives to fill in the Demon Domain. In fact, Chen Xi also knew very well that there was another reason why the Lord of the Divine Domain did this, which was to ensure the purity of the bloodline of the Divine Domain.
If after this battle, most of the true gods with demon blood can be killed in battle, and then it will be much better to deal with the rest. After all, the Lord of the Divine Domain couldn't think of a more suitable excuse to get rid of those true gods with demon blood in their bodies on a large scale.
Chen Xi didn't bring the army, just stood alone outside the castle. On the city wall, tens of thousands of demon soldiers looked at him, but they were a little overwhelmed. All the city defense weapons are aimed at Chen Xi alone, if someone orders at this time, then ten thousand weapons, thousands of magic, will be tilted towards Chen Xi. No matter how you look at a city, one person is a little magnificent.
But at this time, what Chen Xi was thinking about was not those defenders at all, nor those weapons, but about the fate of the Divine Domain.
It is not the fate of one person or two people, but the fate of the entire divine domain.
Chen Xi always felt that this matter was a bit strange, why did the demon clan seem so vulnerable? If the demon clan really declined to this point, then where did their self-confidence come from. Until now, Chen Xi can still clearly remember in his mind that the leader of the Flying Leopard Ranger had the kind of eyes that made him see the end of the Divine Domain before he died. That person is not afraid of death, and even at the moment of death, he is enjoying success.
All the demon masters in this castle either died or fled. A large number of true gods, under the leadership of Xu Ji, are chasing and killing these demon masters. At this time, Chen Xi was the loneliest time. There was no Xu Ji by his side, and most of the powerhouses in the Divine Domain had already stayed away. The only thing that can help Chen Xi now is Fei Qing, who has not left for the time being.
If there were still demon masters in the castle at this time, Chen Xi's life would be between the lines.
Chen Xi didn't think about it, Xu Ji paid attention to his body type. But Chen Xi didn't know what Xu Ji should pay attention to. The demon clan must have a big plan, but Chen Xi can't see through it, and he has no clue at all.
The defenders on the castle looked at Chen Xi in confusion, wondering why the person from this divine domain dared to stand outside alone.
Chen Xi stood outside the castle for a long time, looking at the soldiers on the city wall. Look at the weapons on the walls, look at the weapons in the hands of the soldiers. For more than two hours, he stood motionless. It wasn't until two hours later that Chen Xi seemed to finally see a direction, and then turned to leave. The demon soldiers on the city wall were even more confused, what the hell was that person doing?
After returning to the camp, Chen Xi took the fat emperor Rufeng and Su Xu, and selected one hundred and ten elite subordinates, and rode the iron-backed blue wolf towards the back of the castle. The iron-backed wolf was extremely fast, and even if it was to go around the castle in a big circle, it would not take much time. Xu Ji said before that there are many ruins behind this castle. It was precisely because of these ruins that Xu Ji judged that the Demon Domain had experienced a brutal war before, and the power of the Demon Clan had suffered great losses in this war.
But so far, there is no news, what forces are the demons at war with?
A cavalry of one hundred and ten men marched across the plain with a domineering spirit, and after rounding the castle, galloped forward for at least a thousand miles, and finally came to a ruin.
Chen Xi stood at the city gate and looked up, and the handwriting carved on the city gate was still vaguely recognizable.
"Shuhai City. ”
Chen Xi read those three words once, and then made a gesture. Su Xu immediately led a team of scouts to urge the iron-backed blue wolf to enter Shuhai City. The general scale of this sea city is still there, and the city walls have not been completely destroyed, but all the buildings in the castle seem to have been destroyed. The streets are barely passable, and there are ruins everywhere.
Soon after, Su Xu sent a scout back to tell Chen Xi that he had already explored and that there was not a single living person in the city. Chen Xi nodded and entered the castle with the rest of the team
Chen Xi walked very slowly along the way, he got out of the iron-backed blue wolf and walked through the broken streets.
He crouched down, picked up some sand, and carefully felt the residual breath in the sand. If you want to judge who the demons are fighting with, the only evidence seems to be these dead things. There were no corpses, no traces of fighting, everything looked so weird. Since there is a huge power that has caused the demons to suffer heavy losses, why is there no trace left?
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious Chen Xi felt.
In the sand, there is not a trace of blood. With Chen Xi's strength and meticulous and keen perception, even if there was a fight here a long time ago, even if the blood stains were covered by wind and sand, Chen Xi could still distinguish it. But in the sand, what remains is a very violent destructive force, but there is no blood.
"Could it be that some very powerful forbidden spell destroyed the castle with one blow?"
Chen Xi muttered to himself, but quickly denied his thoughts. Even if there is such a powerful forbidden technique to destroy this castle called Shuhai City, it is impossible to have no breath of corpses at all. Especially the scorched corpse, the breath penetrates into the sand and will remain for a long time. It was indeed destroyed, but in a strange way.
"Fatty, you are the most sensitive to the power of the wind, do you smell the blood around you?"
Chen Xi shouted.
The fat emperor Rufeng was stunned for a moment, and then said with annoyance: "What are you doing with me?"
He sniffled vigorously, then reached out to sense the wind around him, then shook his head: "It's clean, at least no one has been killed here in ten years." I'm sure I'm not the best at it, but there aren't many people who surpass me. ”
Chen Xi looked at the ruined wall, picked up a broken city brick and looked at it: "But Shuhai City was destroyed, there are absolutely no ten years, not even a year, these traces are all new." ”
The fat man nodded: "I can also see that the destruction of this castle will definitely not be long." This is the strange place, why is the castle destroyed, but there is no blood at all? Could it be that the enemies of the demon clan have all practiced a kind of murder without bloodshed? But is there any other use for this goddamn skill besides killing people without shedding blood?"
Chen Xi walked around a house that had been destroyed by fire and looked carefully at the charred house: "Do you see that there is anything familiar?"
The fat emperor shook his head: "I haven't been here before, where can I see familiar traces." ”
Chen Xi reminded: "The castle we attacked before is called Longyun City. The walls of Longyun City have a weapon similar to a catapult that throws a hollow stone out and then releases flames. That kind of flame can kill everyone, and it will be burned directly to ashes, and there are not many corpses left. I stood outside Longyun City for two hours, and I felt the smell carefully. ”
He picked up a charred brick and handed it to the fat man: "It is very similar to the smell that remains in this place, but there are no corpses burned to ashes here." It took me two hours to remember the smell, the smell of corpse ashes. Not here, not at all. ”
The fat man's face changed suddenly: "You mean, this sea city was destroyed by the demons themselves?"
Chen Xi's face became more and more solemn, and he continued to walk forward, constantly checking: "We may have been tricked into the Demon Domain, there is no war at all, and all the ruins of the castle are made by the people of the Demon Clan themselves." They just want to make an illusion and make the people of the Divine Domain think that their strength has been greatly damaged, and they have no ability to resist a large number of true gods."
The fat man's face became ugly: "You mean, the people of the demon clan did not hesitate to destroy a large number of their own cities, just to lure the enemy deep? tempt those true gods to chase after them, and then"
The fat man swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and did not dare to say the words later. Because once Chen Xi's speculation is successful, then chasing and killing those true gods in the past is only afraid that there will be less evil.
Chen Xi pondered for a while and then said, "Why are so many castles destroyed, but only the two castles that stand in front of us have not been destroyed? Therefore, the only possibility is that those two castles were deliberately left behind by the demons. ”
The fat man was not stupid, and immediately understood what Chen Xi meant: "The first castle we broke through gave us hope." In the second castle, a part of the demon masters were left behind to attack at the right time, making the people of the God Domain think that they were already very weak. At this time, because of the news they suddenly get, the people of the divine domain will become contemptuous and arrogant, and then they will immediately chase and kill them. ”
Chen Xi nodded: "Xu Ji has taken away almost all the true gods, and now I am afraid that he has chased him to a very deep place." If the people of the demon clan were really laying out at such a big cost, then Xu Ji might have suffered a loss. ”
When he finished saying this, he was already contacting Xu Ji. When Xu Ji was leaving, he gave him a jade pendant for two people to contact, Chen Xi said a few words in a row, but Xu Ji didn't answer. With Xu Ji's calm and confident style, if something big didn't happen, how could he not answer Chen Xi in time?
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying Chen Xi felt.
"It's fucking big this time!"
The fat man squatted down with a worried face: "If our true god army is wiped out, then our demigod army"
He raised his head to look at Chen Xi and found that Chen Xi's eyes were also worried.
