Those who rushed back to inform Kasha were several guides and scouts sent by the Ranger Legion to the United Legion in the theater. They were responsible for helping the main legion lead the way through the Magic Mist Canyon to the Doomsday Depression.
The Magic Mist Canyon is a vast hilly valley with complex terrain and surrounded by cliffs. Although it is not dangerous for professionals, if you are not familiar with the road, it will be very time-consuming to wander around it for several days.
possible.
This vast valley is surrounded by a black-gray haze all year round. Visibility is very low in the haze, and the floating dust will make your whole body gray.
If an ambush is encountered in such a place, the situation of the legion will be very dangerous, especially since most of the people in the combined legion are from other war zones and are not familiar with the Magic Mist Canyon at all.
Fortunately, the ranger who came back for help told Kasha that it was not a large demonic force that ambushed the United Legion.
In fact, after Azmodan disappeared, the demon camp in the Doomsday Depression had long since been deserted.
Most of the demons fled back to Chaos Purgatory along the Purgatory Portal, and only a few of the remaining demon soldiers who were dispersed in the previous battle remained here.
It was such a small force composed of the remaining demons that ambushed the United Legion.
Moreover, it was said to be an ambush, but in fact, at most it could only cause trouble for the legion's advancement.
There are a large number of succubi among these remaining demons. Under the leadership of a powerful dark gold succubus leader, they create illusions in the magic mist canyon, block passages, harass the legion's reconnaissance and logistics troops, and create obstacles for the legion's advancement.
A lot of trouble.
Due to the terrain and environmental effects in the canyon, the legendary warriors in the legion have never been able to find a chance to catch them, and they have been unable to find the correct route out of the canyon due to the harassment of the other party.
In order not to continue to be passive and miss the opportunity to fight, several legion commanders in the legion sent people back to ask for help.
However, after listening to the ranger's words, Kasha frowned in confusion.
Before the previous operation to clear the Doomsday Depression was launched, didn't the two extraordinary beings Eagle and Skeleton also join the effort?
Are they unable to see through the illusion created by the succubus even with their abilities?
"Lord Kasha, the Eagle and the Skeleton were recalled by the Death Fortress before entering the Magic Mist Canyon. It is said that something big is about to happen on the Eternal Battlefield. We are not very clear about the specific details...
."
Facing Kasha's doubts, the ranger answered helplessly.
"I see, that's no wonder..." Kasha nodded, with a look of understanding on his face.
"What did General Edwin say?"
"General Edwin has sent Commander Elena to lead people there. He hopes that you and Master Xue can come together to help, so he sent me to find you."
"Well, I understand. You go ahead. I'll be right back."
Kasha nodded and agreed simply.
The ranger saluted Kasha and left quickly.
After seeing her leave, Kasha sighed helplessly, then she held her right hand in the air, and a ball of fire appeared in her palm.
She whispered a few words toward the firelight, then flicked it away.
The fire flickered in mid-air for a moment, and then turned into a miniature phoenix whose whole body was burning with flames, and disappeared into the void.
Kasha glanced in the direction of Xue Hua, turned around and said a few words to the professionals around him, then stretched out his figure and soared into the sky amid the flames, heading towards the north of Winter End Castle.
Fly away quickly.
...
On the other side, Xue Hua was interrogating the Xel'Naga lackey he had just captured.
Under the influence of the infected person's neuroparasitic skills, this guy who had just retorted as hard as iron was now like a most competent young man, answering Xue Hua's questions quickly and clearly.
"What is your mission in the second world? Why did your master give this thing to you alone?"
Xue Hua held the black stone box in his hand and looked around while asking questions casually.
"The master wants us to monitor the war on Black Rock Star, pay special attention to the movements of the Demon Lord and the Archangel, and pass the collected information to him through the messaging board."
"This sacred object was given by the master himself. The master also gave me extraordinary speed and keen perception.
He asked me to be responsible for guarding this sacred object, and use it to collect specific human essence after this battle, and then give it to him."
The man in gray robe knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the sky above his head, while answering Xue Hua's questions like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"How do you contact your master?"
"Also, what is a 'specific' human essence? Are the people you killed different from normal people?"
"The owner contacted us unilaterally and we were unable to contact the owner."
"Pain, hatred, fear, chaos, humans with these emotions are all special essences that the master requires to collect..."
Xue Hua was stunned by the gray-robed man's answer.
These things he described should be all negative emotions of human beings, right?
What does this have to do with genes?
"Why does your master collect the essence of these people?"
"Feel, absorb, understand, work together... The master once revealed some of the power he had when transforming me. He told me that these emotions were valuable for him to gain new power, and asked me to collect them carefully and protect them at all costs.
..."
“The Valuable Value of Negative Human Emotions?”
Xue Hua raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something.
It seems that this guy has seen the essence of the power of the Hell Demon Lord, and is trying to integrate this essence to prepare for his next actions...
It has been attacking the Demon King of Hell before, but it has never touched the domain of the Three Demon Gods. At least Xue Hua has not heard the news about the incident of Baal, the King of Destruction until now - this guy also suffered in the World Stone Hall before.
It was seriously injured, so Xel'Naga shouldn't let it go.
From this point of view, it should not have been sure that it could devour the power of the demon gods at that time, but now, as its plan continues to advance, this guy is obviously ready to attack the three demon gods.
The purpose of collecting these human emotions is to better understand the nature of the power controlled by the three demon gods, so that they can more quickly use their power for their own use.
This is very valuable information, which means that the expansion of the insect swarm can be carried out more boldly.
It is unlikely that this Xel'Naga would be able to take action to cause trouble for the insect swarm when it is preparing to deal with a hell demon that is even more powerful than the extraordinary level.
"How many of you are still here?"
Xue Hua asked the gray-robed man about it.
"Most of my other companions died in the war. As far as I know, I am the only one left in this area."
"That's great. Azmodan managed to do something good."
Hearing his answer, Xue Hua couldn't help but laugh.
Due to the need for concealment, most of these Xel'Naga lackeys are just civilians. Even if there are professionals, their status is not too high.
Such a person was basically cannon fodder in the war just now, and he was the type who would die if he was not careful.
It seems that he doesn’t need to worry too much about this aspect. (To be continued)
