Volume Four, Volume 20, Chapter 222
In the Odin Gods, checking such a nail is really just my temporary intention, but the earlier this kind of thing, the better. After all, although life information is easier to collect and safer, it is often much slower in time. Therefore, you must prepare in advance to collect enough information when needed.--Net.
The reason why I suddenly wanted to put such a nail in the Odin tribe is mainly because of the influence of the Olympian tribe incident. From the recent war mode of our guild and the deduction of the subsequent war mode, it can be roughly seen that the most cost-effective way of fighting is not to defeat a force head-on and collect some remaining materials left over from the war. That kind of behavior is simply a waste. The most economical and profit-maximizing fighting method should be like us. First, win over some of the enemies that can be won over before the battle, so that we can strengthen ourselves, and then defeat those diehards in the war. After the diehards are defeated, the remaining material resources are collected and the remaining personnel are supported to establish a new force that is pro-wealthy. This will not only maximize the acquisition of various types of resources, but also turn the forces we attacked into our feedlots, and from then on, it will continue to provide us with various benefits.
Compared to directly destroying a force, our method invests less, returns more, and can be continuously recycled, without the problem of fishing when exhausting the lake. What is more important is that this method can continuously strengthen ourselves during the battle, rather than hitting fewer people. This sustainable development path is the right choice.
Because of this idea, the Odin gods may enter our prey list at any time, and in order to prevent blindness from happening, I have hit a nail in advance now. As long as we want to attack the Odin gods, this nail can help us find the enemy's weakness as quickly as possible, and then directly aim it at the key points, so that the opponent can be damaged in one go.
After signing the agreement, the rest of my job was to deal with the two of this guy's companions. In order to ensure the safety of the spy, these two people must not go back alive. Otherwise, as soon as they reported that they were attacked, our spy ran back intact, which would make no sense. So I directly petrified the two unlucky guys and planned to take them back to the Esinger mobile fortress and locked them up. Perhaps these two people might have other uses. As for our spy, of course, we have to prepare a better escape story for him. I am the best at this kind of thing.
After a brief arrangement of an escape story to our spy, I asked him to point out the entrance of the dungeon to me and let him leave first. Anyway, there was a contract guaranteed by the superior god, and he would never betray him no matter what.
After I separated from our spy, I directly followed the path the guy pointed to to find the dungeon entrance. This entrance looks quite huge and has a very unique shape. From a distance, it looks like a piece of flowers that can nourish flowers. Of course, there is no flowers in the entrance, but there is no grass growing. Moreover, there is almost a bare area within 200 meters of the radius around the entrance.
After riding Yeying to the entrance of the cave, I suddenly smelled some abnormal smell. After sucking my nose hard, I immediately asked Yeying to prove it, "Did you smell something?"
"The taste of home." Ye Ying replied directly.
"That means my nose is fine. It seems that the entrance is not connected to an ordinary dungeon!"
The reason I would say that the connection here is not the ordinary dungeon is mainly because I smell the scent of sulfur.
The entrance to the dungeon is just an entrance to the underground world. It doesn’t mean that there must be a city below. Sometimes there are some natural labyrinth-like tunnels below the entrance to the dungeon, while some are a huge cave, but more are connected to some underground worlds. This kind of underground world is often very large, and the small can be as big as a province, and the large even have a total area of more than one continent.
Generally speaking, there will be some odor in the entrance of the dungeon. After all, this place is an underground world. The air flow is much worse than the surface, so it is normal to have some strange smell in the air. However, generally speaking, this smell is mostly a rotten smell. Although most dungeons have their own light sources, more places are dark areas, so various rotten substances are easily appearing. Then the gas emitted cannot spread and can only be sent out along the passage through the entrance of the dungeon little by little. This determines that most of the dungeon entrances are filled with a breath of aura. However, the entrance of the dungeon in front of you does not have any breath of aura, but instead has a strong smell of sulfur, just like the corridor where firecrackers have just been set off after the Spring Festival. You can even feel a tingling sensation in the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity.
Although this kind of dungeon entrance with a sulphur smell is rare, it is not very rare. There are generally two possibilities for places with this smell. One is that this dungeon is connected to an area where the underground lava is very active. In such an environment, there are mostly a large amount of vulcanized gases, so the smell is relatively bad and most of them are toxic. In the other case, although there are no toxic gases, it is worse than toxic gases, that is, this dungeon connects the abyss passage.
The abyss in the game cannot be interpreted with the actual meaning in reality. In "Zero", the abyss represents a place, not a terrain. This place is a bit similar to the underworld, but it is different.
The underworld or underworld in "Zero" is actually a world that is exactly the same as the earth, but there is a world of negative energy. After the creatures on the earth die, the soul will reach the underworld. It can be said that the two places are basically two different spaces. They have no direct relationship, but they are closely connected. As for the abyss, it is a semi-plane sandwiched between the underworld and the human world. The laws of this place are very chaotic and incomplete.
Because the abyss tasks triggered so far in Zero are less than 100. So all players currently have very shallow understanding of the abyss. Our Frost Rose Alliance already knows a lot about this, but the information is still very small, and many of them are not sure whether it is correct or not.
Based on the information we have now, we can confirm that the abyss is rich in demons, and there are various demons, with a large number and complex races. As for whether there are other races in the abyss, we still know nothing about this. The information we have known can only say that no one has seen other races from the abyss, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other races in the abyss.
According to Ling, the history of the demons she heard seemed to have said that there had been a melee between demons before. Then the failed party finally escaped to the abyss and developed into the current abyss demon. In other words, the historical reality of Ling's abyss demons was actually the local demons here who immigrated to us. However, according to the information obtained by a few limited abyss missions, the abyss demons seemed to believe that the abyss is the birthplace of the demons, and the demons left in the human world are exiled from the abyss.
Because countries in modern society often say that each other comes from themselves, we can probably determine that the two demons are definitely related, but who is correct? You must not listen to both parties themselves. Otherwise, you will never expect to get the answer.
No matter where the abyss demon comes from, it is certain that the demons appear in the abyss, and it seems that there are some differences in the evolution directions of the demons in the two places. Taking Ling as a reference, you will find that the magic attack power of the local demons is very strong. Although Ling is not much weaker than that of the genuine warriors when wearing armor. But overall, the demons on Earth seem to be more inclined to become a mage, and they will only consider hand-to-hand combat in special circumstances where the magic sect is not useful.
Speaking of this, it is a bit similar to the Dragon Clan, but the two clans' ideas are completely opposite. The Dragon Clan is just as strong as the demons and is also good at magic. However, the completely different from the demons' wish to become mages is that the Dragon Clan generally likes to fight directly, and only when they find that they can't beat others will consider using magic.
In fact, the demons on Earth do not like to fight and use magic. Their figures and appearances are also getting closer to humans, especially high-end demons like Ling who are powerful. They are basically no different from humans except for having a pair of wings.
However, completely different from the demons on Earth, the abyss demons like the most is hand-to-hand combat. Although they can also use magic, the abyss demons' magic is basically auxiliary, and the power of the only few attack magic is not very large. However, compared with the deterioration of magical power, the abyss demons' ** is compensated. These guys are not only generally much stronger than their compatriots on Earth, but also have a significant tendency to become larger, especially some of the taller ones.
The abyss demons at the end are often like hills, and some seem to have undergone a transformation in their evolutionary direction, starting to change from humanoid form to beast form. (--net.) Because of this change, some demons that look like monsters often appear in the abyss demons. Not only do these demons have no human form at all, but also have low intelligence, and basically only maintain the way of thinking like beasts. Anyway, these guys are no longer different from animals.
The evolution directions of the two demons have such a huge deviation. I guess it may be related to the environment on both sides. The environment on the earth is probably more suitable for humanoid creatures, and it is full of magic and suitable for magic growth. There may be a poor plane on the abyss, and the environment is harsh, which prompts ** to continue to evolve.
Although the two demons with different development directions cannot be explained which one is more powerful, one thing is certain, that is, I would rather live in this dungeon than encounter an abyss demon. It is not that the abyss demon is so powerful, but these guys have the same virtue as the Odin gods, and they will fight when they meet, and they will never die. I heard a player who has done the abyss mission describe the abyss demons before. I think it is very appropriate. He said that the abyss demons are like a group of rabies evils. He has a great evil with rabies. He said that the abyss demons are like a group of rabies evils.
Demon. If it is an ordinary big demon, although it is powerful, he knows that he is afraid. He will not provoke people like me easily after weighing the gains and losses. However, the Abyss Demon will not care about this at all. Their spirit of rather than dying than biting a piece of meat on you can definitely scare many people. Even if I am not afraid, I will never want to meet these guys. But now it seems that there is no choice. Because the twelve-star gods have gone down, I can only watch them die if I don’t go in. Of course, the premise is that there is really an abyss Demon below rather than just a lava lake.
Follow the entrance to the "Cowdie Mountain" and enter the underground passage. Then walk down the passage like a circumference ladder. After one breath, you can go deeper and reach seven or eight kilometers to be considered as returning to the horizontal direction. I originally thought that I needed to search for it after I came down to determine the location of the people in the Star Temple, but I didn't expect that I would just find them. However, the situation here seems very bad now, because when I arrived, there were already corpses lying all over the ground, and there were many wounded wailing on the ground.
"Damn, why are these guys so moldy? They really encountered it!" After crossing a few corpses, I immediately saw a corpse that was obviously different from the surrounding ones.
This is an abyss demon. This can be confirmed without looking at it. Although he was lying on the ground at this time and could not see his face, the guy's body was at least 200 scars of all sizes. The battle was so tense that no one had time to whip the corpse, so it can only be said that this was caused by him when he was alive. He could defeat so many enemies with more than 200 wounds. I really couldn't think of any other creature except the abyss demon.
There is clearly a Saint Seiya from the Star Temple under the corpse of this abyss demon. Of course, this guy is dead. He lay around him in a circle of fallen Saint Seiya. From this point of view, it should be the result of this guy. From this point of view, you can see how terrible the Abyss demon is. Especially the injured Abyss demon. That is simply the demon among the demons. However, because the Abyss demon is not as well-proportioned as the local demons, these guys are very difficult to die. Therefore, if you want to kill the Abyss demon, you must go through the process of the Abyss demon being injured, and then you must withstand the other party's attack and then you can kill these guys after a round of explosions. If your own strength cannot reach an overwhelming advantage, then casualties are almost inevitable.
After passing the corpses of the abyss demon, further ahead there are batches of corpses, including the abyss demons, the Saint Seiya, and even some low-level gods in the Star Temple. Fortunately, I didn’t see the corpses of the twelve-star gods. Anyway, the most important thing about the Star Temple is their twelve-star gods, as long as they don’t die, I don’t feel sorry for all the others.
Following the signs of corpses all over the ground, I quickly entered a very large underground space after passing through a relatively narrow passage. There was only one physical entrance in this space. It was the one I just came in, but not far from the entrance, this black space crack was rolling there. From time to time, you can see an abyss demon rushing out from inside to join the battle group, and outside was the remaining personnel of the Star Temple were fighting with a large group of abyss demons.
It is really appropriate to say that it is a melee, because it is not the Star Temple members who are fighting one-on-one with the Abyss Demons, but a complete melee. In front of my right, there are three Saint Seiya in the Star Temple who are joining forces to deal with a low-level god in the Star Temple. Not far from them are two Abyss Demons holding each other and fighting with blood. What's even more outrageous is that in front of my left, there are two Saint Seiya and one Abyss Demons joining forces to attack another Saint Seiya and three Abyss Demons.
When I saw this scene, I was in a mess. It was all over. Who should I help? By the way, the abyss demons are like rabies patients. I understand that there are internal fighting between them. After all, wild beasts often attack each other for territorial purposes, which is normal. But the problem is, the people in the Star Temple also attack themselves. What is the situation?
"Ling." Seeing the scene in such a mess, I certainly wouldn't think that these people were joking. There is only one possibility to create such a situation, that is, a large-scale group spell on the scene affected the thinking or senses of all creatures here, causing them to get their goals wrong, and then they become what they are now. With this kind of guess, and when you think of the characteristics of the Abyss Demon, it is not difficult to guess the reason here. Don't forget that although the attack magic of the Abyss Demon is not strong, their auxiliary magic is very powerful, and many Abyss Demon's auxiliary magic has become a ability similar to racial talent. This kind of magic that becomes racial talent has an advantage, that is, it is not a waste of demons or is very low. Anyway, it can almost be opened from the top to the end, and the coverage of this talent is generally very large, so it should not be surprising to affect the creatures in the entire cave.
As my most knowledgeable existence among my demon pets, Ling should be able to help some at this time. After all, she is a big demon herself. In theory, she should also be able to do the magic of the abyss demon. At least she should know it.
Sure enough, Ling frowned immediately as soon as he appeared, and then said without waiting for me to ask: "There is a crazy demon here."
"One? Not to mention those abyss demons, I see that the Saint Seiya of the Star Temple is almost turning into a mad demon!"
"No, I'm talking about a demon branch. This branch is called a madman, a name like succubus and shadow demon."
"Mad Demon? Could it be that he is a demon in the innate world of craziness?"
"Although not, it's almost the same." Ling explained: "The mad demon is the rarer branch of the demon. In fact, they should have been a variant of the Heart-Eating Demon. The mad demon's magic ability is almost zero, but they are born with a talented magic - the halo of chaos. All creatures entering the halo will be affected by the halo. If they cannot resist the erosion of this magic, they will lose themselves and attack all creatures around them. Regardless of whether the other party is an enemy or not, they will pounce on them without hesitation, and they will never stop."
"With this case, the madman himself is also in danger?"
"This is what they need." Ling explained: "The magical abilities of the mad demons are almost useless. Except for this halo, they almost do not know magic. However, their bodies are extremely strong. Although they cannot fly, their combat power is amazing. It was legendary among the demons before. The mad demons are the strongest melee demons except for demon refining. It can be said that as long as they don't encounter demon refining, these guys will be invincible in melee combat."
"Damn. So his ability is really suitable for him." After saying that, I glanced at the battlefield again, and asked, "What does that crazy demon look like? Tell me quickly, I will kill him. Oh, by the way, what ability is needed to fight against this halo? I won't be affected too, right?"
Ling gave me a blank look and said, "You are just remembering now? You have been within the halo since you entered this cave."
"Then I..."
"It obviously didn't work." Ling said: "It should have something to do with Phantom."
I usually let the phantom attach to me in the form of a second soul, so if I create a soul or spiritual attack, the first one to be hit is the phantom. If the phantom cannot withstand it will be my turn to be hit. According to Ling, I was affected as soon as I came in, but the phantom itself is a spiritual body. Therefore, I have a high resistance to this kind of spell that confuses the mind. Therefore, although I have been affected a little, I have not lost my mind. My body is manipulated by myself. Even if the phantom receives some influence, it will not affect my actions, which leads to me not realizing that I have been hit.
Since I know that I am immune to this thing, it will be much easier. Just fly over and find the madman to kill him, and everyone will immediately return to normal. Of course, I have to figure out which one is the madman first.
After I asked Ling again, unfortunately Ling provided a bad answer. She had no idea what the mad demon looked like in the abyss demon. She knew that the existence of the mad demon had been seen in classics, but she had never seen the mad demon. After all, this is a mutation branch, and the heart-eating demon, as the mutation mother, is not a big race. There are fewer heart-eating demons and the mutation rate is low, so this mad demon naturally became a rare animal. Of course, even rare animals cannot become a protective animal. On the contrary, the mad demon is said to be an existence that demons of various types generally hope to kill. Just think about it and you can understand that it will make your relatives disregarded. Who likes it? Even the demon must have several allies or subordinates, right? Which demon can bear it when he is dealt with by the mad demon? So, even a demon will kill him as soon as he sees it.
"Doesn't there be any description of the crazy demon's appearance in the book you saw?"
Ling thought about it and suddenly said, "By the way, I have seen some clips about the foreign trade of the Madman in another book, which seems to be saying that there is a spur along the spine behind the Madman."
When I heard this, I flapped my wings and rose into the air. Then I glanced at the battlefield and then took a static picture with my electronic brain. Then I found the individual abyss demon with bone spurs behind me. "Is there any other description? At least one-fifth of the abyss demons here have bone spurs on their backs!"
"Let me think about it again!" Ling lowered his head and recalled for a while and suddenly said, "By the way, the appearance of the crazy demon should be a bit like a werewolf, but it is many times thicker than the werewolf. If you don't pay attention, you're like a big bear in a human form."
"There are eight goals that match your description, aren't there any more detailed ones?"
"The madman has a small amount of body hair, most of which are red and brown."
"Ok, target confirmation."
Fortunately, Ling's remembered thing happened to be used. Seven of the eight targets he posted just now had a hair, which looked like a bear, but Ling said that the crazy demon had sparse body hair, and those seven were obviously not, so there was only one that met the requirements. Although the body hair on this guy's body was silver-white, at least most of the appearance met the requirements. Besides, no matter how often, it would be known by slashing from time to time.
After taking back Ling, I flew directly over the crowd. Fortunately, the crowds of people fighting below were crazy, and I didn't notice that there was someone above.
The suspected mad demon was gnawing against another abyss demon at this time. You tear a piece of flesh from me, and I pulled a piece of skin from you, and it made a blow that made me fly. Although these two are demons, I didn't wonder why the mad demon attacked the abyss demon. After all, Ling said that the mad demon is also a rat crossing the street among the demons. On the other hand, the mad demon will definitely not have a good relationship with other demons, so for the mad demon, they are enemies except themselves, and attacking each one is the same.
Because the two demons below were gnawing at each other, I simply threw the flying knife from behind. As a result, at the moment when I was about to hit, the abyss demon who was suspected to have pulled the abyss demon who fought with him and blocked my flying knife with the other party's back. Although the guy avoided my attack and did not allow me to read his attribute data, I have now confirmed that this guy is the crazy demon, because within his halo, all creatures will lose their minds. Since he could be distracted from the attacks around him during the battle, it means that he was not affected at all.
But within this range, except for the mad demon, there are only those who are unaffected. However, if the abyss demon really resists the halo of chaos, the other party should know that there is a mad demon here. In Ling's opinion, if there is a demon knowing that there is a mad demon here, he will definitely attack the mad demon first, but that guy is attacking another abyss demon. The data read after the abyss demon was hit by my flying knife shows that he is not a mad demon, so the one who attacks him is not an ordinary abyss demon, but only a mad demon.
Since I have confirmed the target, it’s easy to do. “Hehe, what about invincible hand-to-hand combat? At worst, I won’t touch you.” I raised the Avenger with a wicked smile, and directly lifted the cover in the form of dragon head and replaced it with a crystal clear short arrow to the launch position. Then, I quickly closed the cover and aimed at the madman. “By the Chaos Maker.”
Chapter completed!
