Chapter 180: Wei Zhilong's desperate situation
After walking for about four or five days, Ming Qi gradually found that the surrounding environment began to change a lot, whether it was vegetation or the surface of the ground, it began to show a dark gray, most of the demon beasts were also based on the dark gray style, and the demon beasts here were particularly ferocious, very aggressive, although most of the demon beasts that appeared were only second- and third-level demon beasts, but what was distressing was that these demon beasts were always entangled, and they would attack when they encountered the appearance of strangers.
After walking like this for two days, three people in the team had already lost their lives in the battle with the demon beasts, and some of them had even begun to be afraid.
Before leaving, Ming Qi had a fairly detailed understanding of the places they might pass through, and knew that the area they were entering was called the Land of the Dark Side, which was in the gap between the Western Wastelands and the Central Land, and according to the information, there were alien dark demons living underground.
Although the Dark Demon is not very similar to humans, it has a similar intelligence to humans, but the Dark Demon has always liked to be alone, and has never been in contact with humans, so it is not difficult to pass through the territory of the Dark Demon.
Ming Qi roughly observed the surrounding terrain and chose a relatively open direction to move closer to the Emperor Mountain Range, if it went well, they could pass through the Dark Side Land in two days and officially walk out of the boundary of the Central Land and enter the Western Wilderness.
Stepping into the realm of the dark demons, all the people have obviously become cautious, for these mercenaries, although they have not yet reached the destination, but the current journey has made them experience unprecedented thrills, there are countless monsters around them that may attack at any time, and there are cold-blooded dark demons living in the dark underground, which is testing their hearts all the time.
Dabai is still on guard around, and he will communicate with Ming Qi every once in a while to ensure the safety of the surroundings.
According to some sources, although the Dark Demons have very little contact with humans, their history is very long, even dating back to the end of antiquity. ”
Walking on the road, Ming Qi asked Mo Changli, although he had studied some information, but after all, it was only temporary, and after consulting a little bit of records, his understanding of the dark demon was less than a drop in the bucket.
"Dark Devils......"
Mo Changli thought for a moment, and said as he walked: "The history of the Dark Demon People is indeed very far, earlier than the end of the ancient world, it is said that the Dark Demon Clan was once one of the ten outpost vanguard troops of the Heavenly Sin Battalion. ”
"The Heavenly Sin Camp?"
This is something that Ming Qi has never heard of, but it sounds very distant.
"Yes, the Heavenly Sin Camp was once the only existence other than the Celestial Clan that could shake the rule of the gods of heaven and earth. The Celestial Clan's fight against the gods can be said to be a kind of rebellion at the top of glory, and the appearance of the Heavenly Sin Camp is the pinnacle of the lowest level to challenge the gods of heaven and earth. ”
Mo Changli said that she was a member of the Celestial Clan, so she naturally knew very well the glory of the Celestial Clan, and putting the Celestial Clan at the top of the glory was in line with the identity of the Celestial Clansman who once patrolled the heavens on behalf of the gods of heaven and earth.
And this so-called Heavenly Sin Camp seems to have a completely different identity and origin from the Heavenly Clan.
"What kind of people were the members of the Sin Camp that day?"
According to Mo Changli's meaning, Ming Qi guessed that this so-called Heavenly Sin Camp must be the group at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world.
"The Heavenly Sin Camp is all composed of alien races, and most of them are vulnerable groups that are inseparable from human monks and the gods of heaven and earth, and there are also a lot of demons and demons, but with the growth of the power of the gods of heaven and earth, all the alien races related to the Heavenly Sin Camp have become weaker and weaker in the long confrontation process, so there is a phenomenon that many people have forgotten the name of the Heavenly Sin Camp. ”
"Oh. ”
Ming Qi nodded, from this point of view, it seems that the Heavenly Sin Camp is equivalent to an alliance against the gods of heaven and earth.
"However, when the Heavenly Sin Camp was at its peak, it once killed the gods of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Sin army was endless, and there were countless masters and strong people, and the Dark Demon was one of the ten vanguard legions in the Heavenly Sin Camp. ”
"It seems that the Dark Demon Clan also has a glorious history. ”
After listening to Mo Changli's explanation, Ming Qi said with emotion.
"However, among the ten vanguard legions of the Heavenly Sin Battalion, the Dark Demon is not the strongest, the strongest of them is the Shadow Demon, and it is said that the Shadow Demon God of the Shadow Demon clan was able to fight against the gods of heaven and earth with one enemy and two alone. ”
Fight against the gods of heaven and earth alone!
Ming Qi was a little speechless for a moment, even if he stepped into the world of cultivating immortals, his strength had reached a level unimaginable to mortals, but he never thought that one day he would be able to live with the legendary gods of heaven and earth for one or two moves, while the shadow demon gods of the Shadow Demon clan would be able to fight against two gods of heaven and earth alone, how powerful should this be?
After sighing with emotion, Ming Qi suddenly asked, "Changli, how do you know these things?"
Mo Changli smiled and said, "Because we have a common enemy!"
Ming Qi immediately expressed his understanding, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and he will naturally know more about his friend, which seems to be a very correct truth.
"It's just a pity, now I'm afraid that the rumored Heavenly Sin Camp has long since ceased to exist. ”
The Celestial Clan used to be the shepherd sword in the hands of the gods of heaven and earth, but now they are also living like ants, so it is conceivable what will happen to the Heavenly Sin Camp that has been fighting against the gods of heaven and earth.
Hearing this, Mo Changli's face also flashed a little gloomy, the people of the Heavenly Clan were also cursed by the gods of heaven and earth, although Mo Changli still doesn't know why the ancestors resolutely gave up the glory and chose to fight against the gods of heaven and earth, but now what she has to do is to continue to walk according to the will inherited from the clan until the end of her life.
For a long time, she almost never imagined that she would have the opportunity to see the day when her people would embark on a crusade against the gods of heaven and earth, but now she would fantasize about what that day would be like from time to time.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, we've been walking for more than a day, let's find a place to rest, and tomorrow we will be able to pass through the Dark Side Land to the Western Wilderness, and we can join the private dragons. ”
After chatting so much along the way, Ming Qi has a lot more understanding of the Dark Demon Clan, and now he is just passing through the territory of the Dark Demon Clan, the Heavenly Sin Camp no longer exists, and the Dark Demon Clan is no longer as strong as it used to be, Ming Qi believes that as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke them, there will be no trouble.
After receiving the order to rest, the mercenaries quickly began to choose the terrain to set up temporary resting equipment such as tents, and after a while, everything was ready, and fireworks began to rise in the simple camp.
The Dark Demon clan all live in underground caves, and when they go out to find food, they will appear outside the ground, and they rarely move on the ground at other times, and they have gone deep into the dark side of the land now, but they haven't even seen the shadow of the Dark Devil.
"Head, are all the dark demons here dead, why can't you even see a single one? ”
The calm of the past few days has also made the mercenaries relax their vigilance, and after resting at this time, some people have begun to discuss the affairs of the Dark Demon Clan.
Just when Ming Qi and Mo Chang were resting from this team, Wei Zhilong and Xiao Qi and the others on the other side were almost in a desperate situation.
Compared with the calm of Ming Qi's journey, Wei Zhilong's team walked quite hard.
Less than half of the original twenty-five mercenary team members have survived, and many of them have been injured to varying degrees, but fortunately, these people are very strong, and as long as they are not fatally injured, they can continue to fight.
At the moment, not only these acquired mercenaries have suffered heavy losses, but among Wei Zhilong, Su Yuan and Xiao Qi, only Su Yuan's condition is a little better, and Wei Zhilong and Xiao Qi are also hanging up.
At present, their location is a swamp at the junction of the Central Land and the Western Wasteland, called the Dense Mist Swamp, originally according to the previously formulated route, it is completely possible to bypass the swamp and reach the bottom of the Imperial Mountain Range, but I don't know if the previous route is wrong or this swamp has changed in a short period of time, in short, Wei Zhilong and the others fell into the swamp.
Fortunately, they didn't fall into the bottomless pools that had accumulated over the years, so they wouldn't lose their lives in the swamp, but now they had to face not only the swamp where they couldn't distinguish the safe path, but also a serpentine monster that lived in the swamp, the three-tailed wolf-headed snake.
The three-tailed wolf-headed snake is an almost deformed existence, a kind of xenomorph monster beast that resembles a snake and is not a snake, a wolf and not a wolf, with a head and a snake, but three tails.
The huge head can shred boulders, the snake-like body ensures that they can move like the wind in the swamp, and the most terrifying thing is the three tails that can carry the entire body into the air with the help of the wind elemental airflow, with these three tails, the three-tailed wolf-headed snake is almost equivalent to the ability to fly.
Faced with a dark swamp filled with mud and stagnant water, and through the thick green mist with the three-tailed wolf-headed snake looming in the distance, Wei Zhilong found himself seemingly leading the team to a road of no return.
The remaining dozen or so mercenaries were close together, surrounding Wei Zhilong, Xiao Qi and Su Yuan, all of them with wide eyes and cautiously moving forward.
No one knows how long this road will take, and although the mercenaries are not afraid of death, they are all afraid when faced with a lifeless scene.
Knowing that it is death, but moving forward, this is a completely wrong choice.
"Commander, let's withdraw......"
Slowly moving forward, the thought of retreating was still thrown out.
Wei Zhilong frowned, the worst thing finally appeared, and the idea of retreating was proposed, which showed that these people no longer had the belief to continue, so even if they could have defeated the enemy, it would have been impossible.
"We can't withdraw, Deputy Commander Ming and they are still waiting for us in front, according to the map, there is land not far ahead, we just need to hold on and go over!"
Wei Zhilong said very firmly, and her eyes looked at the front persistently.
Her actions seemed to give the team great courage, and the idea of retreating was finally suppressed.
