Demon, a humanoid species in the underdark area of the mage world, is played by the player and belongs to the dark camp.
Well, to the human race, they are very, very evil, extremely violent, and unforgivable. But to the dark elves, abyss dwarves, undead and other races that are also in the dark camp, demons are trustworthy and good comrades.
The sound of 'ka', 'ka' footsteps kept coming, walking towards where Sun Ran and Zhao Shan were hiding.
Looking out from the gaps in the ruins of the house, one could see a small group of figures nearly two meters tall and as tall as a hill, walking on a street full of ruins and flames.
Judging from the single horn on their heads, the gray scales all over their bodies that looked like armor, and the big sword that grew directly on their hands, it seemed that this was a demon. And Zhao Shan also knew that this was a very powerful demon.
A swordsman demon who is good at close combat.
One such demon can withstand the attacks of five human swordsmen of the same level and with the same equipment, which is extremely powerful. Such a team of ten swordsman demons can completely compete with a squadron of fifty human heavy cavalry.
A demon seemed to have heard the movement in the ruins and stood still. The orangutan-like nose kept twitching and its head turned around, as if it was looking for something.
Zhao Shan looked at Sun Ran and quietly conveyed the message with her eyes: "The sword-hand demon has a dog's nose. This guy is looking for us."
Sun Ran nodded and communicated in the same way: "I know. I have seen this kind of demon at least five times in the past year, and there are often fights here."
"What is this place?"
"They all call it the Horseshoe Fortress. It was built in the Golden Helmet Valley. The entrance to the valley is where the city gate is. The west gate leads to the barren land. Every time the dark army attacks from the direction of the barren land," Sun Ran said.
He didn't know much in this year. He heard about it while building his body.
Zhao Shan understood: "No wonder there is such chaos. Horseshoe Fortress used to be the dark area where the dark camp was located. This fortress is a meat grinding pond and a slaughterhouse. The flesh and blood spilled here every year can supply a kingdom with food and drink for the whole year.
Well...well, if they can eat it."
It seems now that the fortress has been occupied by the dark camp, but within a month, the human kingdom on the other side of the Horseshoe Fortress will regroup its forces and send out troops again to try their best to recapture the fortress.
Of course, no matter what, this is a matter for the future. The current situation is how they should deal with this swordsman demon and then find a way to escape from this fortress.
Zhao Shan checked her body and quickly glared at Sun Ran: "Why has my body shrunk to the age of thirteen or fourteen?"
"To be precise, he is thirteen and a half years old. Young people tend to lower their guard," Sun Ran explained.
"Okay, what you said makes sense." Zhao Shan thought about it, and then she gently stretched out her green onion fingers so white and tender that she could pinch water out of them. She pointed at the demon outside the ruins, preparing to cast a spell to quietly learn about the demon's life.
Sun Ran didn't have time to stop him, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Shan hard. The pain made Zhao Shan gasp and almost screamed. He forgot to cast the spell, turned around and glared at him, passing the message: "What are you doing? I'm like this
Your body has just started to grow. Do you know that it hurts when you pinch your breasts?"
Sun Ran looked down and saw that his hand was pinching the girl's bud that had just begun to develop. He was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention. You haven't learned any spells at all, how can you cast them? Why don't you kill the demon?"
"
"But I knew how to do it in my previous life." Zhao Shan said.
"It won't happen. We are legal players now. Do you know how difficult it is for me to hide these two legal identities from Pangu and the eyes and ears of the gods? We are here to check things out. Don't be bad.
A good thing."
Legitimate players are not saboteurs. In order to protect the interests of players, Game Brain records everything about every legitimate player in detail. If you cast spells randomly, you will be discovered immediately.
"Then when you were trying to figure out your identity, couldn't you give me two spells to use?" Zhao Shan asked.
"The unique spell system in the mage world is called the Magic Network. Players' magic is controlled by the Magic Network. The monitoring of the Magic Network is very strict, and I can't mess with it." Sun Ran explained, and then made an agreement with Zhao Shan: "From now on
, you need to learn the spell before you can use it, do you understand?"
"What about the devil outside?"
"Think with your brain, there will always be a way. Don't always fight and kill girls everywhere!" Sun Ran said: "Look at me."
The demon outside the crack had obviously heard the little movement just now, and was walking towards the hiding place of the two people in confusion.
Sun Ran took a gentle breath, and then made a sound from his throat: "Meow~~~~~Snort, snore, snore."
Then, he pulled out a comatose black cat from nowhere in his hand. The black cat's body stretched back out of the gap in the ruins. The cat's tail was gently played with by Sun Ran's fingers, and it seemed to be swaying around.
Zhao Shan was surprised: "Where did you get this black cat?"
"Before entering this body, I fainted quietly just to cope with the current situation." Sun Ran smiled.
Sure enough, as soon as the demon outside the crack heard the sound, he vaguely saw a cat's tail moving around in the ruins, and his expression immediately relaxed.
"It turned out to be a cat. I thought it was a person." He turned around and left, continuing to search.
Sun Ran took the black cat back and put it into a bulging leather pocket beside him, and then said to Zhao Shan: "Did you see it? This is wisdom."
"Smelly." Zhao Shan disdained.
After the sword-hand demon walked away, Sun Ran took out a clean cloth bag from his leather pocket and opened it. Inside was a large piece of bacon.
Sun Ran tore off one piece and put it in his mouth to chew, then looked at Zhao Shan: "Why are you looking at me? You should eat quickly. When you get hungry later, don't ask me for food."
Zhao Shan responded and tore strips of meat from the breast. It tasted pretty good. While she was eating, she glanced at the leather pocket next to Sun Ran: "It seems like there are a lot of things in it. What are they?"
"It will be used for escaping later. The battle is almost over now. The human army has been defeated and retreated, and the Horseshoe Fortress has been occupied by demons. Let's wait a moment. At noon, when the light is bright, those dark creatures with night vision must go
Rest, we’ll go out then.”
"Do you have an escape plan?" Zhao Shan asked.
"Yes. There is a river in the Valley of the Golden Helm. Although the water is a bit dirty, it is not poisonous. There are corpses floating everywhere on the water. We can just dive out of the river."
"But...but I can't swim!" Zhao Shan felt dizzy.
"I've thought about it. You don't need to be able to swim, as long as you can walk." Sun Ran smiled and patted the bulging leather pocket.
Soon, the dried meat was eaten by the two of them. Sun Ran took out another water bag, drank the same water to quench his thirst, and then began to wait.
Time passed slowly, the sound of battle quickly disappeared, and Horseshoe Fortress was completely occupied.
"About three hundred people have died. They are all short-lived ghosts who were 'invited' by the game company to clean up the horseshoe fortress when the game time is about to come." Sun Ran said with a smile.
In fact, this cleaning happens once a month. Outside the game, players call Horseshoe Fortress the Guillotine.
"I hope we don't get beheaded." Zhao Shan still had objections to Sun Ran choosing such a place to enter the game.
"No. We are mid-level VIPs. Even if we are accidentally captured by the devil, although the experience will be a little tortuous, we can still develop. Game companies have to be responsible for VIP players. We are protected by the gods now, hehe.
"Sun Ran was very relaxed.
He spent a lot of effort just to get this VIP status.
The time soon reached noon, and the sun penetrated the clouds so powerfully that it shone down, forcing demons and other dark creatures to hide in the darkness.
Sun Ran put the leather bag on his body: "The time has come, let's go!"
He climbed out of the ruined house first, and Zhao Shan followed behind, complaining softly: "Your condensed body is too weak. I feel like the wind can blow me away. I am really powerless!"
"The most soft thing in the world is the strongest thing in the world. Don't you understand the principle that softness can overcome hardness?" Sun Ran said.
"I don't understand." Zhao Shan rolled her eyes.
"This is the quality you lack. The true essence of Taoism lies in this point. Otherwise, manpower is sometimes poor, how can it fight against the infinite nature?" Sun Ran asked.
Zhao Shan opened her mouth, speechless, and finally could only say: "I still don't understand."
"When you truly acquire this Tao, the Taoism will reach a higher level." Sun Ran said.
"Okay, I believe you once."
The two of them walked along the streets and alleys, leaning against the wall, crouching down and looking around, always on guard against dark creatures hiding in the dark, and they were extremely cautious.
The river was less than 500 meters away from the ruins. The two walked for half an hour, but they only walked half way.
As he was walking, Sun Ran suddenly turned around and made a silent gesture, and then pointed under a fruit shop on the corner.
Zhao Shan looked over in confusion and saw a pig-eared demon with a fat head and big ears lying in the shadow under the fruit shop. This guy hadn't rested and was still awake. He was holding a bunch of grapes in his hand and was talking.
Chew them one by one.
It's not a problem for him to eat grapes. The problem is that he is blocking the only way to reach the river. Behind him is the river. And if he doesn't take this road, he will have to go around at least two hundred meters more. Who knows what's new?
Will there be other hazards on the road?
"What should I do?" Zhao Shan asked.
"Cold salad." There is only one devil in this area, so it is the best way to escape.
Sun Ran came out of the shadows directly, put one hand into his leather pocket, held Zhao Shan with the other, and strode towards the pig-eared demon.
"Are you crazy?" Zhao Shan whispered. Even though the pig-eared demon looks ugly, he is a real commander-level demon. For example, the one in front of you has a physical strength of 2.0, which is a hundred times theirs. He stretched out a finger.
It can crush them to death. If you don't use magic, it is completely irresistible.
"Don't worry, remember, we are VIPs, the gods are protecting us. Also, I have a weapon in my pocket, just look at it." (To be continued...)
