Chapter 490: Separate Actions
"Here's the news. "Deep in the jungle, deep in the underground palace, the dim candlelight flickered in the breeze, and a huge monster walked in.
The lower half of the monster's body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of white mist, making it impossible to see clearly. Its upper body is exactly what people imagine of a demon - its lean body is filled with terrifying bone spurs, claw-like hands, and two goat-like horns.
And when this monster entered the underground palace, two majors dressed in Holy Crusade uniforms were sitting in a small dilapidated room in the depths of the palace.
Around the small room, there were gusts of cold wind blowing from time to time, and at the same time, there was a constant sound like a whisper in the ear. Although the two majors were also well-informed elites of the Holy Cross, their spirits had always maintained a high level of tension in this eerie underground palace.
And when the monster entered the palace, another wind blew in the palace. Under the flickering of the candlelight, many dark shadows on the walls of the small room also swayed, as if they were countless ghosts.
"It's uncomfortable to stay in this place. "One of the majors was a burly black man, but perhaps because of his past experiences, he had an unexpected fear of ghosts and the like.
Even if he now has the strength of the rank of major, there is no way to overcome his psychological problems.
"The people above let us go on this kind of local mission, and they also cooperated with this kind of native...... It's just ...... And that native, it's too strange, isn't it? The name is just a native of the Captain's District, and when I released the exploration technique to him just now, the information I gave back was actually unconfirmed. Isn't this too strange! We're majors, majors! Normally, unless he has the strength of a colonel or higher, he will not return information that cannot be confirmed, right? But isn't it too strange that a colonel-level native appears in a mission in a lieutenant's quarter?" Looking at the shaking phantom on the wall, the black major couldn't help but shudder and complained to his companion.
"Hmm......" The other major had just nodded when he heard a voice coming from outside the door.
Hearing the sound, which seemed to come from the depths of hell, the major's eyelids couldn't help but jump, and he hurriedly raised his palm to his companion, telling him not to continue.
"What's the news?" Soon, the two majors walked out. Outside the door, the demon that seemed to be suspended in the void had already walked over.
"The person you are looking for has entered this world. I've found her whereabouts among Rugoin's men. However, in addition to her, it seems that there are other small bugs that have followed. ”
"Oh, that's a bit of a surprise. Didn't you Burning Legion say that Sakura would definitely enter this world alone, if she hadn't been alone, and the Predator had sent her a helper in the back, things would have gotten a little troublesome. After getting down to business, the burly black major overcame a little fear of ghosts, frowned and said to the monster in front of the two, "What is the strength of those people who came in with Luo Sakura?"
"The strongest of them should be about the same strength as you. The rest are not worth mentioning. The monster continued to speak in a low, hoarse, hellish tone.
"If that's the case, it's a bit of a hassle. Sun Luoying himself also has the strength of a major. If we need to assign one person to contain her reinforcements, it is impossible to kill Sun Luoying in the short term with the strength of another person. If Sun Luoying is alerted and hides in Lugoin or Kurast, it will be even more troublesome. ”
"Hehehe...... You don't have to worry. This is our world. The enemy that should be dealt with by you, it is up to you to deal with it. As for the other few little bugs, they won't stand a chance to cause us any trouble. Hehehehehehe......" The monster let out an eerie laugh, and its body gradually dissolved into nothingness and disappeared. In front of the two majors, a red portal was left.
The two Majors of the Holy Cross looked at each other as they stepped through the portal and entered the other side of the world.
When the portal vanished, the two majors found themselves in a city in the middle of the desert. This city is the jewel of the desert: Rugoin.
"Sure enough, here she is. One of the majors clicked on his watch a few times, and a detector immediately appeared out of thin air and landed in his hand.
The Major fastened the monocle-shaped detector to the bridge of his nose and immediately saw the small red dots on the detector.
"She should still be alone. Do you want to do it right away?" asked the major to his companion.
"Don't be in a hurry, let's test it first. Sun Luoying is not a fool, and she is also known as a 'wise man' in the non-commissioned officer area. The black major spoke, but at this point he and his companions had a sarcastic sneer on their faces.
The so-called "wise men" of the non-commissioned officer quarters are really not worth mentioning among them.
"Okay, let's test it first. Just right, let's also see if what the monster of the Burning Legion said is true. His men weren't as powerful as he said. The other major quickly laughed as well. He then took out a small pocket from the watch's built-in storage again.
The pocket opened, revealing something that looked like a yellow jewel. The yellow gems were all the size of soybeans and shone brightly.
When the two majors were illuminated by the light, they couldn't help but feel as if they were going to go out of their bodies.
"This is what it calls the Soul Stone Fragment, right? Just swallowing these things to the monsters of this world can greatly increase their strength limit? I don't know how this thing works. Otherwise......"
"Don't think about it. It's a product that is unique to this world. Didn't you hear him say, only the monsters under his command ate these things. Or do you want to be a monster like him?"
"Hey, hey, of course. Let's go, let's go and give the cherry blossoms a little color first. The black major spoke, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the desert with his companions.
On the other hand, after sending off the two majors, the demon god Mephisto has also come to the Supreme Council of Cui Fanke.
"Hmph...... Humble worms!...... if it weren't for your use," Mephisto sneered contemptuously at the actions of the two Holy Crusader majors in the crystal ball.
As the master of this world, one of the three demon gods, Mephisto never took those two majors of the Holy Cross in his eyes. Even, even the major general of the Predator Legion, Mephisto was just a nuisance.
If it weren't for the peculiarities of this world, which made it impossible for him to fully exert his strength, Mephisto thought that he wouldn't need any help at all, and would be able to kill that enemy with his own strength alone.
But now, Mephisto still has to follow Mr. "Kim's" instructions and continue to rely on the power of these reincarnators.
Of course, just watching those reincarnators who looked like bugs fighting each other also made Mephisto tired of it. And the arrival of He Zhi and his entourage made Mephisto feel excited.
"Humble bugs, you can be a toy of the demon god, you should be proud of your fate. Mephisto sneered, waving his hands lightly in the air, and a yellow crystal appeared out of thin air, then suddenly pierced through a portal generated by its fingertips.
In the deepest part of the catacombs of the monastery, Andariel suddenly saw the yellow crystals that appeared in front of him. The crystal quickly entered Andaril's body, and Andariel immediately froze, and then an astonishing wave of qi erupted from the catacomb.
When Andariel appeared before his men again, everyone felt that their ruler was completely different from what it had been......
Of course, at this time, He Zhi and Jiang Yueying didn't know about the various changes that happened in this world. The two had just crossed the underground passage and found the legendary Aniphus scroll in the dark forest that Akara had asked them to find.
The two captains also successfully completed their respective missions, purifying the underground cavern and the demonized blood birds.
Back at Akara's camp, Akara helped the group translate the scrolls and then pointed out the way to rescue Kane.
For Jiang Yueying and the others, it is not the first time they have done the task of rescuing Kane.
As I said before, this pioneering world is a world that has long been explored by many reincarnations in the Weiguan District. And Decca Kane, as the most critical core plot character in this mission world, without his help, the mission of the reincarnation would not be able to be done at all.
Therefore, both Jiang Yueying and the two captains have experience in saving Kane.
After completing the previous tasks, the group quickly set off separately again.
This time, they still completed the tasks assigned by everyone in the Akcala camp.
Among them, He Zhi went to rescue Kane, the two captains went to the Tower of the Dark Lands to kill the countess, and the other set off with Jiang Yueying, going straight to the catacombs to find Chassi's hammer, and prepared to clean up Andariel.
This is also because the difficulty of this world is not too high for them. According to the two captains, these demons near the Akara camp are basically only at the level of a second lieutenant, and they are the easiest opponents in this pioneering mission. Even the bottom boss of this scene, Andariel, can be cleaned up by a lieutenant. Jiang Yueying personally went out, and took a captain to sit next to him, which was a glance at Andariel.
In the eyes of several people, most of their time on this operation was probably spent on the road.
Regarding the statements of the two captains, He Zhi didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Even in Diablo games, the first act is basically a familiar game. It's not that difficult.
Jiang Yueying: As a "veteran" in this world, it should be no problem to deal with Andariel.
As a result, He Zhi did not have any opinion on the assignment of tasks decided by Jiang Yueying, so he set off alone to rescue Kane.
Although it was a long time ago that He Zhi played the game Diablo, He Zhi still remembered the plot of rescuing Kane very clearly. The task process He Zhi remembers it even now.
So after setting off, He Zhi didn't delay any time, and went straight to the five magic pillars in the middle of the stone wilderness.
Along the way, He Zhi also saw a lot of monsters such as crusty rats, zombies, and sinking demons, but unlike the game, He Zhi didn't have any thoughts of killing monsters to gain experience now.
Relying on his cultivation of the foundation realm, He Zhi increased his speed to the fastest, leaving all these monsters behind him, and rushed all the way to his destination.
In the game, the five magic pillars on the stone field don't look imposing, just a few color blocks on the screen.
However, in this pioneering world, these five magic pillars are far more imposing than in the game. Huge stone pillars almost three stories high rise into the sky. The stone pillar is densely engraved with all kinds of runes.
Of course, He Zhi did not forget that the mini-boss Lacanixiu who will definitely be encountered next to these five magic pillars in the game. In the game, Lacanihu is a small demon with lightning and strength enhancements. If you want to talk about it, it can also be called a rookie killer in Diablo games.
Most of the newcomers to Diablo games have probably contributed their first death to the humble little guy Lacanixiu.
Although He Zhi's cultivation is extremely high now, it stands to reason that he should be a lot stronger than Lacanixiu, but he still remembers his first death experience in the game, and he also contributed to the little guy Lacanixiu!
Moreover, Lacanixiu's lightning enhancement is indeed a bit annoying. He Zhi still remembers that when he was in the game, as long as he touched Lacanixiu, small lightning would burst out from his body.
The damage of these small lightning bolts was really unbearable for players who were still very low level at the time. And even if He Zhi's strength is strong enough now, he should not be affected by Lacanixiu's lightning strike, but if he can be careful, He Zhi would rather be careful.
It just so happened that at this time, He Zhi was carrying out the task alone, and he was still in the empty wasteland. So He Zhi doesn't need to hide anything at this time. He very simply summoned the Qian Mu Sword directly.
As He Zhi quickly approached the five magic pillars, the figure of Lacanixiu was already clearly visible in He Zhi's sight.
