Chapter 289 The Demon's Hospitality
In fact, Bailong Mountain is not too far from the fulcrum city. No matter which place is difficult to find, it is mainly because there is a circle of mountains around Bailong Mountain that surrounds it. The outside of Bailong Mountain belongs to three different mountain ranges, but because of their double-teams, Bailong Mountain becomes a place similar to a basin. It is surrounded by mountains. To enter Bailong Mountain, you have to pass through the cracks of the outside mountain range. What is more troublesome is that the three mountain ranges outside happen to be crowded with monsters. There is only a system city near Bailong Mountain inside, and there is no player power. Moreover, this system city is a small town, and there is no special mineral nearby. Apart from the abundant production of a monster that is suitable for being a magic pet, there is basically no place to attract players.
Of course, although there are not many places that attract players in the Bailong Mountain area, there are actually many people in this place, and the reason for attracting players is the kind of creature that can be regarded as magic pets.
This kind of creature that can be regarded as a magic pet is called grassroots. The name is really grassroots. It sounds useless, but this thing is actually more useful.
Grassroots are a strange creature with half plant and half animal. If you want to find something closer to describe it, it looks like a ginseng doll in the legend of Chinese ginseng doll. Its main body is a little doll with a child's image, which looks about five or six years old, both of which are both cute. In addition to hair, there are also a bunch of weed-like leaves on the top of his head. This leaf looks like a hat on the top of his head, but in fact it is part of their body.
After seeing the image of this creature, most people will immediately understand that this is definitely not a combat creature, but in fact it is. Grassroots is actually an auxiliary healing unit. Their specialty is to drive away negative effects and accelerate wound healing. Note that grassroots do not actually have the ability to heal. They will not release healing techniques, but will bring their own recovery aura. As long as they are within a certain range, they can continuously accelerate the healing of players' wounds, and the speed of returning to the demon will also increase. Moreover, if it is in a safe environment after the battle
Grassroots can also bury their entire body into the soil, leaving only the leaves above their heads on the ground. Grassroots in this state can usually produce more than twice the healing speed. Moreover, if it is an ambush, you can bury the grassroots first. In this way, even if the enemy knows that you have brought grassroots, it is not that easy to find them out, because the grass on the top of the grassroots will automatically disguise itself as nearby plants after they bury themselves in the soil, and this disguise cannot be cracked by anti-invisibility or anti-illusion spells.
Because grassroots have such strong concealment and their own healing ability is quite powerful, many Japanese players will choose this grassroots as their magic pets if they cannot see the advanced magic pets. In fact, although grassroots are not at high level and have no combat power, their effect is actually very practical. You should know that if players practice alone, the consumption of medicines is very exaggerated, and taking grassroots can save a lot of medicine money. Under the premise that Zero has the function of currency exchange for real currency, this ability is basically equivalent to making money.
Even if the player does not practice alone, but forms a team, the grassroots can still play a huge role. First of all, the grassroots treatment is not a single healing technique for a certain person, but a halo-like ability. Its characteristic is that it will take effect on all the personnel in its own camp within a certain range at the same time, so the grassroots abilities in team combat will be doubled. In addition, due to the huge auxiliary role of the healers on the battlefield, the main target of the player team is often the opponent's healers after meeting, and their priority is even greater than that of the mage and archer as the main output. Therefore, the grassroots with super-hidden nature have become a healer who does not need protection in some cases. This characteristic is definitely very powerful, so most Wanjia will choose without a better choice.
As a magic pet, this kind of creature can save money and is rare for such practical magic pets. Of course, I think the greater reason why grassroots are so popular is that there are many creatures and it is relatively easy to capture. Compared with most creatures that are extremely difficult to become magic pets, grassroots creatures have at least a certain accuracy probability that they can be converted into magic pets, and the probability is not low, which is much stronger than many magic animals. You should know that at least one-third of the players in the game do not have magic pets, and almost more than 90% of the players have no magic pets. The reason for such a large gap of 50% is that magic pets are too difficult to catch. Otherwise, even if some players are afraid that low-level magic pets cannot be replaced after occupying the magic pet positions, the number of magic pets will not be reduced to this level.
Because of the attractiveness of grassroots, the traffic in this small town called Koshigou is very large. When Masaki Matsumoto and the others came out of the teleportation array, they felt like they were in the main urban area of Tokyo.
Unlike us who fly directly over on ascension, Matsumoto Masaki and their Japanese player identity allow them to use the teleportation array directly. If we enter the teleportation array in Japan, it will probably cause war immediately. Of course, we can also get confused by using camouflage techniques, but we are just too lazy to use it.
In fact, it was not much slower than Matsumoto Masaki and the others when they flew over. Including the time they left the city, we ran to Masaki and the others instead.
After arriving at Bailong Mountain, we put away our mounts and landed directly on the ground. We cannot fly after entering the limited area, otherwise we will easily miss the target. This is a limitation of the game system for flying units. The main reason is that we are afraid that the flying units will destroy the balance of certain scenes. After all, the air advantage is too powerful.
Although I can't fly directly into Bailong Mountain, in fact, as long as I don't fly up, there is no need to leave. After landing, I pulled Ye Ying out and rode it on. The gold coins are her nine-tailed fox, so it's not a problem. The only thing that is more miserable is Zhenhong. Although Zhenhong has a dragon and demon pet, you can't ride a dragon into the mountain, right? Besides, Shenlong is not suitable for climbing on the ground! So Zhenhong finally had to squeeze with me. After all, Ye Ying's figure is posing here. Not to mention two people, even three people are riding on it, it's not very crowded.
Less than ten minutes after we stepped into the mountain, Matsumoto Masaga and the others left Xiaoshi Castle and followed him to the entrance where we entered the mountain. However, the three of them were different from us. They were Japanese players and could enjoy special treatment here. They directly found a guide to take them to take a small path up the mountain.
The main road can be riding a horse, but the distance is a little farther. Although the small road can only hike, the distance is relatively close, so the actual time consumption difference between the two sides is not large.
"President, we didn't have any information, just breaking in rashly, can we find that demon king?" Zhenhong asked while sitting behind me.
Jinzi also said with some concern: "I think we should find a guide, or just follow Matsumoto Masaki and others. If we can't find a place to go, it will be a big trouble. You don't know that many mountains in Japan have large barriers arranged by demons. It's easy to come in. When we don't follow the designated road when we go out, we can't get out even if we can fly!"
"You don't have to worry about this. First, the barrier is useless to me, and second, I don't plan to wander around here. Since this place is the territory of the Demon King, there will definitely not be only the Demon King. There should be many subordinates of the Demon King nearby. These little demons must know where the Demon King lives. After they appear, we can just grab one and ask."
"That's right." Zhenhong nodded to express understanding, and I simply closed my eyes. Anyway, Ye Ying is a living creature and not a motorcycle. He wouldn't be able to hit the tree with my eyes closed. As for the reason why I closed my eyes, of course, it was to better sense the energy fluctuations around me.
Although demons and monsters are divided into two different biological systems in the game, they are actually the same in magic sensing. They can both use energy, and although they are different in types, they can be sensed. This is also a balance requirement set by the game. Otherwise, if the mage cannot sense the monster, if the demons play sneak attacks, wouldn’t the mage players have to wait for death? This kind of unsolvable situation cannot be set in the game, so monsters are the same as monsters. As long as they have power, they will inevitably produce energy fluctuations. The only difference is that some fluctuations are obvious, and some will naturally hide fluctuations.
I have to say that this place is indeed a gathering place for demons, and there are quite a lot of monsters. I just closed my eyes and immediately found that we were actually targeted by monsters. At this moment, a blue energy ball was following us at a slow speed in the woods on our left. Obviously, this was a monitor. In addition, there was a clever figure rushing around between the branches above our heads, and it was also a scout among the demons. In addition, I also found a big tree in front of the right. Although it seemed that the tree was no different from the surrounding trees, but was just a little bigger, the tree was surging with amazing energy fluctuations in energy sensing. Its strength was the highest among the surrounding monsters, and it was more than ten times stronger than the other two monsters.
After confirming the target, I did not react immediately. I just asked Ye Ying to speed up a little faster and walked from the left back of the gold coins to the front of her right. The tree was on the right side of the road not far ahead of us, not only next to the roadside, but also many branches reached above the road. If this thing suddenly moved, the unprepared person would definitely be hit by the attack. But unfortunately for him, I was obviously not a big fat meat that I could easily chew, but a stone that could break my teeth.
Just as Ye Ying and I gradually accelerated and pulled half of the divine position with the gold coins, we happened to reach the bottom of the tree. As expected, the tree suddenly moved without any warning. With a creaking sound, the branches and vines suddenly flew out of the big tree and rolled towards us, but the expected result did not appear. Just as the vines were rolling over, a red figure suddenly appeared on our right side and blocked us behind us. The vines on the tree immediately burned with a bang, and the flames quickly rolled back along the vines and rushed to the canopy over there at a lightning speed.
The demon tree that had been pretending to be an ordinary big tree on the side of the road suddenly jumped up from the ground, and howled in panic and ran around. Later, he rolled all over the ground like a human being to try to extinguish the flames. Unfortunately, the one on his body was not an ordinary flame at all. If it could be destroyed by rolling alone, it would be too simple.
Just as the big trees rolled around here, the figure on the canopy on the other side of our heads suddenly let go and flew down from the top of the canopy. The target was not me, but Zhenhong behind me. Because I rode with me, the other party probably regarded Zhenhong as a soft persimmon that was easy to bully. After all, Zhenhong looked like Zhenhong just from the appearance. Actually, Zhenhong didn't look like a violent woman at all. If you give her two pounds of anesthetics and put some water on her face to pretend to be tears, many people would definitely be fooled and thought that this was a girl with cute attributes. Of course, when the anesthetics passed, these people would realize that it was actually a "furious" attribute rather than a "cute" attribute.
The poor monster on the tree obviously didn't know that Zhenhong was actually a fierce girl, so he was in a tragedy. After rushing to us, the monster who rushed down had no time to do anything, he saw Zhenhong suddenly raised his hand and pinched the guy's head in his hand. Her fingers covered the guy's forehead tightly, and his fingers clamped his temples on both sides of him like iron pliers. After being caught, this monster, which looked like a monkey, immediately wrapped all its limbs on Zhenhong's arm, and then shouted and grabbed it, trying to let Zhenhong let go, but unfortunately, the only thing that was given was Zhenhong's gradually increasing finger strength.
Jiji... Jiji... After struggling for a while, the creature not only did not break free, but became more and more painful. Finally, it couldn't help screaming. Unfortunately, his behavior did not bring him any benefits, but only made Zhenhong use some more effort, and then the guy's voice completely quieted down. It was not that Zhenhong pinched her to death, but that he was already fainted and was fainted by the pain.
In fact, we are already showing mercy to his subordinates. The figure that the tree demon just met was actually Xiaofeng. If you think a tree demon could meet a fire phoenix, how could it be better if it wasn't for my subordinates' mercy, that guy could roll all over the ground to put out the fire? Is it good to cause charcoal? As for the same thing as this monkey, the same thing. Zhenhong's hands can compete with the dragon. After this guy was pinched, Zhenhong really wanted his life. If he just clenched his fist, he could pinch the guy's head like a rotten watermelon. Now this way is at most a little punishment. Who told him to swing his claws when he rushed down, and he would be stunning to disfigure his appearance? Even if Zhenhong has a hot temper and a boy's personality, he is a woman after all. If you want to destroy a woman's appearance, it would be strange if he can treat you well.
The tragic encounters of the two monsters in front obviously played a very good warning role, so the monster hidden in the woods on the left immediately stopped moving and stood there and stared at us blankly. He and the other two monsters were actually an operation team, and the mission was to intercept humans and other alien creatures entering the mountain. He himself was the captain, but his strength was only medium among the monsters, and the strongest one was the tree over there. As for why that tree was not the captain, he, who was relatively weak, was the captain... Have you heard of the word elm head? The one over there happened to be elm. So... you understand.
The attacks of the two monsters just now were arranged in advance by the monster here. They used this method several times before, and each time it was unfavorable. The tree was the strongest and concealed. After a sudden attack, the enemy would be in trouble at the first level. And even if it flashed, the subsequent series of attacks would definitely be enough for them to drink. However, this time their unfavorable action plan was annoyed, and the strongest tree monster came to light up as soon as they got up. The guy who followed the sneak attack was called Shan Mandrill, which was a monster naturally formed by the spiritual energy of the mountain. As a monster formed by the spiritual energy of the mountain itself, Shan Mandrill
The movements are very agile. These guys have a monkey-like body structure. The only difference is that their faces look a bit like humans and have long claws. Their agile movements and relatively small bodies determine that this creature is almost invincible in the mountains and forests. Creatures that are stronger than them are not as fast as them, they will hide, and they will hide and cannot beat it. Therefore, the mandrill is still a very powerful demon in this kind of forest. Although their absolute spiritual energy is not strong, their combat power is not low. However, this super fast mandrill was actually pinched by someone in the case of an active raid. This strength gap is too big, right?
As the leader, this monster had subsequent attacks, but when he saw the situation now, he had already understood that he had basically no other meaning than delivering food. Moreover, being able to become the leader means that this guy has a good brain. When he saw that we had a light statement and had not really killed them, he suddenly realized that we had other purposes, and it should not be malicious.
They are usually killed and no one will ask about it, but we didn't kill them, which means we don't want to deteriorate our relationship. Although killing a few minions actually won't make the demon king have much idea, we still didn't do this, which means we must have something to ask their demon king. Only this explanation can explain why we don't kill them.
After understanding the reason, the guy began to think about the next step, but at this moment, his whole body suddenly shook, because just when he figured out the key, he accidentally looked at us when he found out that the real red boy and I had gold coins, and they were all facing his head with their heads in a straight line. This shows that his position had actually been exposed long ago and there was no need to hide at all.
Monsters who can serve as the first line of defense in the mountains where the demon king is located must be extremely smart, because in addition to fighting, there will be some communication between demons, and the demons are also a race that believes in the supremacy of strength. Therefore, the demons will not place two welcome guests at the gate of the mountain, and then politely ask you what you are doing, but will set up an assassination team directly. If you can escape, then you will be qualified to talk, otherwise no one will pay attention to you if you die. As for the assassination team of the demon king is dropped... this demon king really doesn't care. The monster's fertility is quite exaggerated. It may be incomparable to insects, but at least it is similar to rats, so no matter how many demon kings die, they will be filled in soon.
Since he had the intention of welcoming guests, the leader of the team immediately gave up and walked towards us with a covert attitude. His meaning was very obvious, which was to tell us that there was no harm because he came out with a weapon in a surrender posture.
"A wise decision." After seeing the guy come out, I said coldly.
Demons are like gangsters, especially those at the minion level. You can’t be too polite to them, because this is a group that can open dyeing workshops with three points of color. You must use moderate majesty to make them understand their identity, otherwise if you don’t pay attention to these guys, you will climb on your head.
This little leader who came out is actually not a monster. Strictly speaking, he should be a human, but what is a bit abnormal is that half of his face and one arm are covered with purple tendons, which looks quite terrifying. In fact, this is a human being corrupted by the demonic energy. His half of his face and arms have begun to mutate. If it continues to develop, he will become a complete monster soon. Of course, this process will not erase his memory. Unless foreign trade becomes ugly, he should be considered a benefit. After all, his will has not been affected and his strength has been enhanced. In a world based on combat, this should definitely be considered a good thing. So this guy has no sense of resistance. He may sigh that he will become extremely ugly in the future, but that's all.
"Hello, a powerful guest." The guy walked up to us and bowed first. This was the habit of the Japanese. Even if he was corroded by the demonic energy, he was still a human.
I nodded as saying hello, and then said directly: "We are here to meet you Demon King, how about you? Lead a way?"
"I am willing to serve you, respected sir." The guy turned around and led the way very well. As for those two companions, he didn't even ask, because he knew that it would be useless if he asked. I would let go if I wanted to let go if I wanted to let go, and if I didn't want to let go, it would be useless if I asked.
Although he didn't ask, we really didn't want to kill these two monsters. After all, this is the territory of the demon king Lei Ya. We killed their younger brother on their territory. Even if they took the initiative to attack us, this was an offense after all. We now need to let the demon king solve the trouble outside the fulcrum city, so it's better to have less trouble than more things.
"Zhenhong, let that guy go." I looked at Xiaofeng and pointed at the tree demon over there while saying to Zhenhong.
Zhenhong nodded and threw the guy who fainted at the side of the road and ignored it. Xiaofeng also waved at the tree demon, and the flames above the other party's head instantly extinguished, but the guy's tree crown had been burned to a few leaves, and smoke was still coming out of his head.
After Xiaofeng took off the flames, she flew back and disappeared directly, while I drove Yeying to follow the guy.
Along the way, I asked the half-demon who led the way that there was information about their demon king. Because they were all irrelevant things, the other party answered it readily. As for those important things, even if we asked, this guy would still say it or not. Since the demon king did not take the lives of these little demons seriously, would he still tell them all his secrets? Isn’t that two hundred and fifteen? So most of the guy doesn’t know the information.
While we were on the right path, Matsumoto Masaki and his team also had the same situation as us.
This place is someone else's territory. Who can compare with the monsters here in terms of familiarity? Don't say that you are walking on a small path, even if you don't walk and run around in the woods, people can still find you. After Matsumoto and the others entered the mountain, they found that several auras appeared around them. Then Matsumoto Matsumoto secretly hinted at Sakura Rain Kyuhiko and Chihuo Dragon Kiri. The two quickly adjusted their bodies to a state where they could fight at any time.
Just when the guide was walking with Matsumoto Masaki, a big tree in front suddenly turned around and hit the guide. In the forest, the tree demons were definitely the most advantageous. This is the tree hidden in the woods in the legend, and you can't find it even if you die. In fact, although Masaki Masaki and others found that they were being followed, they didn't really find that there was something wrong with the tree in front, so they were stunned when the tree suddenly moved, but fortunately they were all masters and reacted very quickly.
Matsumoto Masaga pushed the guide aside with a forward rush, and unsheathed the Light God Sword. A sharp white light flashed by. The tree demon in front of him and many ordinary trees around him burned at the same time, but this was just the first move of the demons. Just after the tree demon was ignited, a strange scream suddenly appeared in the surrounding woods. Then Masaga Masaga suddenly found a female ghost wearing white clothes, with at least two inches of fingernails and a long hair covering her head.
A normal person found that there was something like this suddenly in front of him, and it was so close that he must have reacted first, either screaming and retreating or cutting, but Matsumoto Masaki did not follow the ordinary routine. He directly flipped the light sword in his hand and stabbed it to the ground. With a puff of light sword, he directly entered the ground two feet, and the female ghost in front disappeared instantly, and a ball of flame spewed out from under the ground, which forced Masaki Masaki to pull the sword and retreat.
As Matsumoto Masaki retreated, the ground suddenly turned upside down, and then he saw that the female ghost had climbed out of the ground just now. Although the ground was covered with black soil, this guy was spotless in white and still pale. However, the female ghost is not completely white now, because there is obviously a large charred mark on her left shoulder near her neck. The trace was not caused by soil, but seemed to be burned out by fire. In fact, that was the result of Masaki Masaki's sword just now. However, this female ghost is not an ordinary person. She can fight after being killed by a sword. This is also considered a monster with good strength.
While the female ghost here and Matsumoto Masaga fought, Sakura Yu Shen Hina and Chihuo Dragon Hina were also entangled by several monsters.
The one whom Yingyu Shenqi met two ugly monsters who were more than three meters tall and had muscles all over her body, but were hunched and her skin was full of sarcoma. The monster had no head, and her eyes and mouth grew directly on her chest, but the arms were very thick, and her arms were very long, which felt like a gorilla. In addition, these two monsters were not fighting empty-handed, but were holding a wooden stick in their hands. However, judging from the shaking branches and leaves on it, they were just folded by them.
The two monsters attacked Yingyu Shenqi one by one, but Yingyu Shenqi calmly rushed to the treetops. One of the huge monsters suddenly came over with a stick, but Yingyu Shenqi jumped up when the tree trunk in the other party was about to hit, and after the other party waved it, it fell on the guy's arm. Then, step on the guy's arm and rushed to the monster's shoulder with two steps. The tail of his staff poked the guy's shoulder downwards.
Because this thing has no head, the location of Sakura Yu Shenqi is actually equivalent to the heart of his head. When Sakura Yu Shenqi's staff went down, a circle of white shock waves that could be seen in the naked eye immediately rippled. Not only did it knock down another monster that could only come up to help, but the monster under her feet immediately fell to the ground and fell to the ground with a weak legs. Then, the huge body continued to pounce forward due to inertia, and finally hit the ground with a bang and stopped moving.
Another monster was lifted up after being lifted up, but he had just touched the ground and tried hard, when he suddenly saw Sakura Yu Shenqi landing between his eyes and using his staff. He used the move he had just done again. This time, without any surprise, he fainted.
After Sakura Yu Shenqi got her side, Chihuo Longji had already completed the mission. Her opponent was as many as a dozen monsters. These monsters looked strange and looked like everything, but they all had a characteristic, that was, they were less than fifty centimeters tall, and they were all like children. Moreover, the attack methods of these guys were also very strange, and they were actually spitting. Although these saliva had a short range and didn't look powerful, they were very disgusting. They were like super glue, and they couldn't get off. Chihuo Longji was initially fucked by these little things, but after getting used to it, she immediately understood what to do. In fact, she only used one move to deal with all the monsters, and the price was that there was a forest as large as a basketball court in front of her and turned into an open space.
In fact, although that move is very large, it is not lethal. Although all the little monsters were knocked down, none of them died, but they were just shocked.
"Have you done it?" Sakura Yu Shenqi got her opponent and asked casually when she saw Chihuo Longji coming.
Chihuo Longji nodded and looked at the two monsters behind Sakura Yu Shenkai, then turned his head to look in Masaki Matsumoto and looked for a moment, but soon she frowned.
"Huh? Where is Matsumoto-kun?"
In fact, there are only two people, Sakura Yu Shen Hina and Chihuo Longji, and traces of their battle. Because the battle has ended, the surroundings have fallen into silence again, and Masaga Masato and the guide have completely disappeared.
In fact, just before Sakura Yu Shin-Hi and Chihuo Long Ji discovered that Matsumoto Masaki disappeared, Matsumoto Masaki had already discovered that they were missing, but what was different from them was that Masaki Masaki's opponents seemed to be much stronger than the ones they encountered. Although Masaki Masaki encountered the fewest monsters among the three, in terms of comprehensive strength, Masaki Masaki's monsters are the strongest, and not a little stronger, but a little stronger than the boss.
Don’t forget that Masaki Matsumoto is the body of a god now. Although others think that he died once and the body of a god had disappeared, it was actually a fraud to die, and he was fine at all. Masaki Matsumoto is still a god, so his strength is actually very strong. It may be worse than me, but it is also in the top three on the world rankings. You should know that his original strength is not weak. Recently, he suddenly got a god body, so his strength naturally increased sharply. However, even so, Masaki Masaki still found that he had no choice but to deal with that female ghost.
Maybe if you fight head-on, that female ghost will be killed by Matsumoto Masaki, but what makes Matsumoto Masaki headache is that the female ghost's ability is too troublesome. She seems to be able to teleport at will within a certain range nearby, and this kind of teleportation does not seem to be burdened, because the female ghost is not only used frequently, but also does not look tired at all.
In fact, if it weren't for the current situation, Matsumoto Masaki would have to be ruthless and just flattened the surroundings with one ultimate move. The key is that he now needs to maintain restraint for the attitude of the demon king, so he cannot kill these guards casually. If the minion had actually died, he would have died. The key is that this female ghost is obviously very strong, and this level should be a monster with a certain status. Even if the demon king is no longer the life of the demon king, he always has to care about the young master. After all, the demon king cannot conquer the world by himself, and he still needs subordinates.
Chapter completed!
