Chapter 480: Just Out of the Tiger's Den and Into the Wolf's Den
.Chapter 480 Just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's nest
Sanorass City is very big. When it was still under the control of Viscount Sanorass, there were nearly 500,000 residents in the city. Especially when the city was surrounded by ghouls, refugees pouring into the city but still did not fill the entire corner of the city. At that time, the total population of the city was 630,000. However, most of the more than 600,000 people turned into the wronged souls in Sanorass City, and only a small number escaped from the city.
Of course, Sanolaser is also very small. Compared with those cities with first-level main cities and second-level main cities, Sanolasar, which is only a fourth-level town, is undoubtedly very short. Even some of its walls are less than the specifications of the fourth-level towns, which is one of the reasons why it was broken. If Sanolaser's walls were taller and more defensive weapons were more likely to survive. The small city of Sanolaser is reflected in another aspect, that is, the buildings in slums are generally low, and some houses are even less than 2.5 meters tall. Chen Kai stood in front of those buildings and could directly look down at the roofs, so naturally he could not hide in these houses. Of course, the short houses belong to shacks, and more places are huts with two-story wooden structures. These stone-wood structures are densely packed together to form most of the scenery of the slums. Of course, once they are burned, they are basically all round and no one can escape.
Therefore, when the city was breached, most of these houses encountered war. The people who set fire to the fire were not others but the residents living here. Some residents who had lost their hope of living directly ignited the houses and burned themselves and their homes together. Of course, some residents who could have escaped from the city were buried in the fire.
However, for Chen Kai, who was in a slum, was not the slums who became skeleton creatures after being burned to death. Although these skeleton creatures were numerous, their grades were very low. Even if there were hundreds of them, they were killed instantly, but the narrow walls in the surrounding alleys caused him great trouble. Because the densely distributed houses had long since made Sanolasse's complicated streets and alleys, and at the same time, these streets and alleys were narrower and more than one meter wide. Let alone two ordinary people in parallel, even Zhao Tiezhu would feel inconvenient to rotate. As for Chen Kai, it goes without saying. His broad shoulders caused him to hit the wall next to him every time he walked, and the result was naturally a tragedy.
Not only did Chen Kai bow his head and bend over to avoid his tall figure attracting the sight of the dark creatures around him, but he also had to retreat carefully to prevent hitting the walls that could collapse at any time. The most important thing was that he had to be alert to the ghouls and skeleton creatures chasing behind him. Of course, the skeleton creatures chasing him was definitely a big head. God knows how many skeleton creatures there are in the entire Sanorather. Maybe this is another skeleton forest or Yadog. On the way alone, Chen Kai killed as many as 300 skeleton creatures. They used their trembling bodies to hit the shield held in Chen Kai's hand with their trembling bodies, and then were smashed by him with weapons.
Compared with the bone creatures that evolved from ancient bones, the bone creatures in Sanorather have many characteristics. Their level is not high, and the highest one is only level 40, but there are many. The most important thing is that the bones of these bone creatures with low-level bone creatures crawling out of ancient tombs are harder than those bone creatures with low-level bone creatures. At the same time, there are some guys with fragile bones hidden among the many bone creatures. Although their bones have crisp bones, they can use the power of flame to attach to their claws to attack. The last point is that these bone creatures have very few equipment, most of which are covered with a burnt cloth piece. Of course, what is disgusting is that these bone creatures have more or less charred pieces of meat on their bodies, and some of them still have complete flesh on their hands, but the burnt red bones are on them.
What Chen Kai had the most headache was not those skeleton creatures with fresh bones, at least not those ordinary skeletons that could only wave their claws or sticks, but those mutated skeletons that were fiery red and even some of the mutated skeletons that began to emit flames. Although the bones were hard, they were not very difficult to deal with, but the mutated skeleton creatures looked very fragile and would almost break if they hit them, but they could attach flame attacks. Not only could they use flames to attack on claws or weapons, but they could also conduct long-range attacks. Chen Kai even saw a skeleton summoning a fireball as big as a fist. However, the fireball did not hit Chen Kai, but exploded directly beside it after being summoned, instantly clearing some low-level skeletons around it.
Seeing the terrifying damage, Chen Kai instantly developed a little fear of the mutated bones that control the flames. The most terrifying thing in the world is not known things, because when you fully understand the other party, you will find that the other party is not so terrible, and unknown things will make you feel even more terrible because you don’t understand them. These mutated bones belong to unknown creatures, because you never know what kind of attack methods these seemingly weak bones that will almost make a crack when the wind blows, and at the same time, how terrible flame power they can summon. Of course, Chen Kai also hopes that there are more brainless flame bones, and it is best that each one will explode the fireball around him, so that there will be no many monsters chasing behind them.
Because these low-level skeleton creatures are too annoying, they cannot provide experience, but they are huge, if one cannot handle it well, it may completely destroy Chen Kai and his group. Fortunately, there are narrow streets and alleys around. After Chen Kai blocks the road behind with a shield, they cannot cross Chen Kai to attack others, but they can directly attack him. One or two claws hit the shield, Chen Kai may not feel anything at all, but if it hits the shield, it is not just the bone claws but pounces down.
Where is the skeleton? Chen Kai can kill one or two skeletons that pounced down in a few strokes, but the walls of the surrounding alleys are covered with burnt red skeleton creatures. When they pounced down, they were like moths to a fire. They could even bypass Chen Kai's body and rush behind him, attacking Xu Fei and the others. Of course, this attempt was directly smashed by terrible spells, and Xu Fei and the others poured all the unwanted spell support in front behind.
These monsters with a level of only 30 or 40 are not highly resistant to the same-level spells of the third and fourth levels, especially their skulls have not become very strong and can resist spell attacks with penetration or explosion. Often a fireball or an arcane ray with extremely strong penetration can be exploded, or they can simply smash their heads directly. However, there are too many skeletons around, and Xu Fei and the others need to stand in place to chant spells, which causes the movement of the entire team to become slower in disguise. As Chen Kai and the others travel through the alleys for a longer time, the number of skeletons around them becomes more and more. In the end, as long as they look up, they don’t have to scan the skeleton creatures lying on the walls.
"You can't do it, hurry up and ignite the hot turbulent oil." Fei Yun shrank in the team, holding a wooden crossbow machine and constantly pulling it. Of course, every time he skewed the crossbow machine, he would be exhausted by the weak. Fortunately, there were two priests with some strength next to him to help, so that the unlucky crossbow machine in Fei Yun's hand would not stop the fire. As for the hot turbulent oil he mentioned, it was the oil that Chen Kai and the others poured on the ground all the way, and of course the gunpowder bags that were randomly dropped. On the way over 300 meters, Chen Kai and the others poured at least forty or fifty barrels of hot turbulent oil and threw down all the gunpowder bags in Chen Kai's backpack. The power would blow up to the whole alley, huh, the part they had already walked.
"Okay, ignite the fire and I cover it. Why are there more and more damn it? Are the skeleton creatures in the whole city coming here? Where are you running now?" Chen Kai held up his shield and struggled to block four or five skeletons that were hit. The huge impact force made his half-giant's body retreat two steps before barely stopping. Fortunately, this time the block was completely blocked, and the impact force was completely guided away with the help of the retreating steps. Otherwise, Chen Kai would have to lose at least fifty or sixty points of life. For him, if he could reduce the loss of life, he would try to reduce the loss of life, because no one knew what monsters would appear behind him, and it was difficult to have the opportunity to sit down and rest and replenish his life in this situation.
The moment Chen Kai asked Zhao Tiezhu, Fei Yun had already lying on the ground and quickly lit the torch, and then threw it hard towards a can in the corner in front. Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes when the clay pot was hit, but with the help of the gap in their eyes, they still saw a ball of orange flame rising from the ground instantly, and then wandering towards the distance like a winding snake. To be honest, no one knew whether it would be successful when using this method, because no one knew whether the harsh tinder oil would be due to the practice of bone creatures. To be honest, no one knew whether it would be successful, because no one knew whether the harsh tincture would be due to the practice of bone creatures.
They lose their ability to burn, or penetrate into the ground as time passes. However, when the fire snake winds and burns, everyone's hearts are still slightly relaxed, especially when the first sound of the gunpowder pack explosion sounds behind them, they put their hearts into their belly. You must know that every gunpowder pack is basically placed in the most fragile place of the house. Even if the flames are not burning, as long as a few gunpowder packs explode, they can collapse the walls of the alley and block the road. In this way, Chen Kai and his friends' retreat will be slightly safer.
Zhao Tiezhu, who was rushing in front, naturally heard the explosion behind him. Of course, he also heard Chen Kai's shouting, but as the team's arrow, he could not answer Chen Kai's question, because he had to wave his shield to block attacks from all directions. The huge physical exhaustion made him exhausted. You should know that he is not a semi-giant body like Chen Kai. He has a huge body that can block attacks from many places. He is only about 1.9 meters tall and the only thing he can rely on is a shield skill that is much better than Chen Kai, and others who are constantly helping him finish the blow and repair the shield behind him. So when Zhao Tiezhu couldn't answer, Su Xinghe, behind him, answered Chen Kai's question for him, of course, when he was taking time.
"It's the blacksmith shop, the largest blacksmith shop in Dongcheng District you marked on the map." Su Xinghe quickly replied to Chen Kai's words in the team channel, and then came back to his senses again and waved his hand to slash a skeleton that jumped off the wall. The skeleton with a wooden stick had dead hair on its head, and even the eyeballs in its eye sockets did not completely rot. However, its lower body was charred white bones, and all from its abdominal cavity to its thighs were burned. However, when it jumped down, the skeleton's head was gone, and it was directly chopped down by Su Xinghe with a sword. Then the whole body fell to the ground and was kicked away by Fei Yuan who passed by.
The skeleton that had rolled for two rounds still did not die because its head was just chopped down and was not trampled. So its body quickly got up from the ground, constantly fumbled to find its own head, and its head kept calling out to its body. However, all this became a thing of the past after the trampling of a big foot. Chen Kai did not look at his feet when he retreated, and even if he looked, it was useless because his body was too huge. So every time he retreated, he trampled his feet hard, and others helped to clean up the wood with nails under his feet. When Chen Kai was hit by several skeletons, he would stomp his feet hard, but when he heard a click, the skeleton body that was constantly searching for his head stopped, and soon turned into a corpse hanging on the ground.
Chen Kai naturally felt the strangeness under his feet, but the bones he had stepped on all the way were already unknown, so he would not pay attention to the broken head. What he really cared about was the destination Su Xinghe mentioned, and he had the memory of this blacksmith shop in his mind. As a large-scale blacksmith shop in Sanoraser City, "Hot Carbon and Iron" is a very typical dwarf blacksmith shop, including the blacksmith inside, which is also a very typical dwarf. In fact, in Sanoraser City
The best blacksmith shops are basically dwarfs. The only few human blacksmith shops are in a state of dismal management. They cannot be said to have been bad. However, compared with the dwarf blacksmith shops, they are only able to eat enough but absolutely cannot make a lot of money. Of course, after the city was broken, these dwarf blacksmiths and their human counterparts have become unjust souls in the city of Sanoras. Some of them may have escaped, but it is more likely that they have become one of the increasing skeleton creatures around them.
As for the reason why Su Xinghe chose the blacksmith shop, Chen Kai was very clear, because this blacksmith shop is the richest place closest to the security station. This blacksmith shop in Dongcheng is almost next to the security station, but is just a large area of burned ruins. The security station is located in the slums in the east of the city because the security here is the worst, and the blacksmith shop is located in a slightly prosperous commercial street. Of course, compared to the most important part of the city, the location of this street is not so good. But when the adventurers entered and exited the city from the East City Gate, the first thing they were looking for when they entered and exited the city was the nearest blacksmith shop rather than the best in the city. Of course, there is another reason for choosing this blacksmith shop, that is, it is the most solid place in the city, and the dwarves' architecture is as outstanding as their weapon forging skills.
In fact, the design of many cities in the Hansting Empire was made by dwarf craftsmen, so in some places a dwarf craftsman has a very high status. Of course, some people don’t like the craftsmanship of dwarf craftsmen very much, because the things they design are often too grand and sturdy. Although the dwarfs are less than 1.6 meters tall, the height of the houses they designed are generally more than three meters. The smaller they are, they hope to gain height advantages in other places, which is the best thing for Chen Kai, a half-giant. Of course, the other thing is that dwarfs usually build authentic tunnels. Although the authentic tunnels are narrow and difficult to find, they are always a one-sided with Sapiao astronomy.
"I hope my worries are unnecessary." With this idea, Chen Kai slowly retreated step by step. The flames kept rising in the distance accompanied by the explosion of the gunpowder packs they buried and the sound of the alley walls collapsed. From the battle record, Chen Kai could clearly see the lines of killing monsters like a flash, but it was just a number. The fourth-level skeleton creatures could not provide much experience at all. Occasionally, there would be fifth-level monsters, but such monsters could not be killed by collapsed walls or flames. At the same time, the bone creatures were not completely fragile. Most of the ones that were dropped were unlucky to be hit by the explosion impact force, and more were crushed bones. This part was really pitiful compared to the bone creatures chasing behind.
As time went by, Chen Kai and the others approached the blacksmith shop. Even Chen Kai looked up and looked back and saw the huge building that was twice as high as a house in the slums. On the triangular roof of the building was a sign that seemed to fall off. The words "hot carbon and iron" on it were already blackened by smoke. Only the words "hot and iron" could be seen clearly. The entire blacksmith shop looked like a haunted house more than the lively shopping and shopping place in the past. Of course, in fact, there was no place in the entire Sanorass City that was not like a haunted house. Well, there might be one difference. The still magnificent city lord's mansion in the distance did not look like a haunted house at all, but in this dilapidated city area, such a building looked unusually incompatible, but it further highlighted the horror of the city lord's mansion.
"Finally rushed out." This was Zhao Tiezhu's first thought after rushing out of the narrow alley, but when he raised his head and glanced around, the shield in his hand tightened instantly. Although he knew that the place Su Xinghe was instructing was a commercial area and it should be more prosperous, everything in front of him was really "prosperous". The eyes were all skeleton creatures holding wooden sticks and simple weapons, and there were many ghouls roaring in the distance. The most important thing was that he also saw a figure in a black robe. If nothing unexpected happened, that guy should be a member of the Dark Mage. According to the rules of the original game, he was a boss level guy. Although this dark mage is not necessarily a real boss, after all, the bosses in the game are calculated based on the strength of real gold and silver, but there are two concepts of death creatures commanded by the Dark Mage and no one commanded by anyone.
The latter is a scum to Chen Kai and others. No matter how many skeleton creatures with low levels come, they will die. Although Chen Kai and others may not be able to kill each other in seconds, it can still be done to cause injury. As long as you rush into the blacksmith shop to defend against the outside attack, it will become very easy. But if it is a commanded dead creature, it will become very terrifying. If the guy who commands them will still arrange troops, then it will only be Chen Kai and others who will be dragged to death.
