Chapter 230 Demon Outpost(1/2)
Lin Zhe observed the villagers of Nanshan Town who responded to the butcher George with the "Eye of Reality". After some observation, he found that there were "unexpected surprises". Many of these people had Berserker blood, and some had learned Paladin and Priest skills. The worst was also a farmer with high physical attributes. The highest-grade grade C and the lowest-grade D were all in total.
Finally, Lin Zhe "followed the public's opinion" and elected Wright as the "captain" of this operation, and he "reserved" as the deputy captain.
After all, he packaged himself as a "senior wizard". As a senior wizard, he was indeed a bit "insignificant" to the militia captain in a small town.
After talking about some important matters of going to the expedition, Wright asked everyone to go back and prepare the equipment to go to Nanshanhe the next day.
The next morning, the Hell Demon Investigation Team formed by Nanshan Town was ready and set out towards the upper reaches of Nanshan River.
After spending nearly half a day crossing the Nanshan Mountain, the group finally saw the Nanshan River that was turbulent from the top of the mountain.
The farmer who found the corpse of a beast pointed to one end of the river and said, "I am the corpse of a beast I found there."
"Look at me!" At this time, a town citizen pointed to a big stone and said.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a pile of burnt fires and beast bones and skins beside the stone.
Wright glanced at the investigative team and asked, "Has anyone in the town been here recently?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
At this time, a strong man in his fifties in his team said, "I heard from the older generation in the town that even the lowest-level destruction demons among the hell demons have certain wisdom. They will build villages, in the Demon Valley in the north, and even the Demon Castle left over from the Demon War period."
The butcher George looked at Wright and asked, "Captain, there are not a thousand or eight hundred demons who die in your hands, right? Have you ever seen them build villages and barbecue in life?"
Wright shook his head.
A town citizen asked: "Can it be that hell sent a new demon army through the cracks in time and space?"
Lin Zhe observed through the "Eye of Reality" for a while and found no useful information. He suggested: "If these hell demons really build villages, we just need to walk up the Nanshan River and we should be able to discover them."
"That's right, it's useless to think about it now. When you find their camp, you can kill all the scum!" Butcher George raised the black battle axe in his hand and said angrily.
As soon as the butcher George said this, everyone agreed.
Everyone continued to wander upstream along the Nanshan River until evening, except for finding some similar fires and animal bones by the river, no trace of demons or camps were found.
The sky gradually darkened. Just as everyone was considering whether to continue moving forward or stop for a while, Lin Zhe found a fire in the distance. Judging from the distance, height and quantity of the fire, it should be a camp similar to an outpost.
"I've discovered it!" Butcher George pointed ahead and said.
Wright frowned: "About half a month ago, the militia searched the vicinity of Nanshan. If that place was a camp, it should have been built in the past half month."
"Is the hell demon so fast?" Butcher George said in surprise.
Someone immediately said: "No wonder Jack said that the Warriors League heard the news that the Hell Demon will attack Nanshan Town in the near future. It turned out that he had planned it for a long time!"
"What should I do? Call it while the night is falling?"
"Catch it! Kill all the scum!"
"Kill all the demons!"
...
"Wait!" Lin Zhe stopped the excited crowd and said, "I've been rushing for a day today, and I'm going to stop and rest for a while. I believe everyone is a little tired. Besides, there are too many uncertainties at night, so it's too dangerous to kill them directly. I think it's better to let Ruth and I go to investigate the enemy situation first."
"We are not tired!" said a townsman immediately.
"That's right, as long as I kill the demon of hell, I'm full of energy!"
"Kill the demon!"
...
Wright said: "Jack is right...but I think it's better to let me go with you to investigate."
Lin Zhe smiled and said, "Captain here, you need to take charge of the overall situation. Don't underestimate Ruth because she is young. In fact, she is a high-level assassin rated by the Warriors League."
"What? This little girl is a high-level assassin?"
"Oh my God, these two young men are high-level wizards and the other are high-level assassins. It's so incredible!"
"The Warriors Alliance is so scary. Are there two young people who are casually capable of this? Then if we can really hold on until their reinforcements arrive, will Nanshan Town be saved?"
"Nonsense, Warriors League! I have defeated the Hell Demon once!"
...
Lin Zhe finally convinced Wright, and he and Ming went to the fire to investigate, while Wright led the team to rest on the spot, waiting for Lin Zhe's signal.
Lin Zhe and Yang walked up the Nanshan River for a while and saw a human dressed in tatters and shackles with light blue magic light coming to the river to fetch water.
"Can that person be the missing hunters in Nanshan Town?" asked Sun.
Lin Zhe looked at it with his real eyes and saw a note appearing beside the human being—
[Hell Slave (level e): The hunter from the former Nanshan Town was captured by the hell demon during his hunting journey in Nanshan, and forced to carry magic shackles to become a slave of hell. The hell demon drove them to work as a coolie to build a village, and then use it as an emergency object when the labor force is completely lost.]
"It's really a missing hunter in Nanshan Town. Go nearby and see if there are any hell demons lurking in the dark. I'll go over and take a look." Lin Zhe said.
"Okay." It suddenly turned into a black shadow and fled into the darkness and ran towards the forest.
Lin Zhe rushed towards the hell slave, covered his mouth directly, and pressed on the ground: "Yunjing, I am a human."
The hell slave nodded in a hurry. As soon as Lin Zhe let go of him, he quickly said, "I am also a human being, a townsman of Nanshan Town, and was captured by the hell demon."
Lin Zhe nodded and said, "I am the deputy captain of the Nanshan Town Investigation Team. Captain Wright and the townsmen are on standby downstream..."
As the captain of the second team of the Nanshan Town Militia Team, Wright has never heard of his name as long as the people from Nanshan Town, so in order to gain the other party's trust, Lin Zhe directly brought out Wright's name.
Sure enough, when the hell slave heard Captain Wright's name, he immediately asked with hope in his eyes: "Did you say Captain Wright bring someone to save us?"
"That's right... how many townspeople like you are in the camp?" Lin Zhe asked.
The slave of Hell replied, “Seven more people.”
"How many demons are there?"
The slave of Hell carefully recalled and said, "There are more than a dozen destruction demons and two destruction wizards... There were also a few red demons wearing chain mail and a pair of wings on their backs, but they left in the afternoon. Oh, by the way, there are still many destruction demons escorting two green big-eyed demons here today."
Big eyes?
Could it be something like the Demon Eye?
Lin Zhe has played many Western Fantasy games. In the background of Western Fantasy games, many settings are almost the same, especially the demon soldiers, which can almost all find similar troops. The big green eyeballs should be the demon eyes that serve as reconnaissance and detection.
Lin Zhe focused on looking at the magic shackles called by the slaves in hell, and got a prompt-
[Magic Shackles (level d): A device to prevent hell slaves from escaping. Once they are away from the camp for a certain distance, they will be eroded by the power of demons. As long as your destructive power is strong enough, you can easily destroy these magical shards if you avoid the blue magic pattern.]
Lin Zhe took out the gentian bright silver spear, aimed it at both sides of the magic shackles and inserted it hard, easily stabbing the magic shackles in half.
The slaves in hell kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Warrior!"
"You walk down the Nanshan River and you should be able to meet the investigation team. Tell them not to act rashly and wait for my signal!" Lin Zhe instructed.
"I understand, Lord Warrior!" After he said that, he immediately ran towards the bottom of Nanshan River.
Not long after I left, I came back late.
"There were no traces of the demons outside the demon camp, but there were two demon eyes with a large reconnaissance range in the camp. I didn't dare to get close to them easily, so I came back first." Ming said.
Lin Zhe nodded, intending to go over and see the situation. As soon as he was about to set off, he suddenly had a plan to control the liquid metal to transform into the dress of a hell slave. He even copied the magic shackles, and then grabbed some soil from the ground and wiped it on his face.
"I'll try to get in. You're waiting for my signal outside." Lin Zhe said.
...
In the demon camp, several bonfires were burning vigorously, and there were corpses of wild beasts on the grill, and even a human body...
At the camp gate, several red-skinned demons, similar to goblins, drove the hellhounds to patrol back and forth.
Lin Zhe pretended to be a hell slave, limped towards the gate of the demon camp with a bucket, and while the destruction demon and the hell hunting dog were walking to both sides, he accelerated his pace into the camp. The hell hunting dog who turned around seemed to smell the strange smell and roared at Lin Zhe a few times.
The Destroyed Demon glanced at Lin Zhe's direction and saw that it was a hell slave sent out to fetch water. He immediately cursed in the devil's words: "Shut up!"
The mace in the Destroyed Demon's hand swung, which scared the Hellhound so much that he screamed, and quickly clamped his tail and shrank into a ball.
After Lin Zhe walked into the demon camp, he found that outside the simple wooden shed not far away, the Destroyed Demon Wizard was lying there with a staff in his arms. There were several Destroyed Demon guarding him. After all, he was the leader of the team, so there were naturally minions to protect him.
Lin Zhe took advantage of the opportunity to send the water to various places and inquire about the demon camp and found the two demon eyes hidden in the "darkness".
One is in the shed, and the other is at the top of the sentry tower.
[Devil's Eye (C level): The hell demon's reconnaissance unit can make stealth/invisible units within 500 meters without any escape. When it detects an intruder, it will issue an alarm to notify all demons within a radius of ten kilometers, and convey the intruder's position to these demons in the form of demonic words.]
Just anti-hidden and alarm?
Then there is no threat.
[Trigger the side mission "Destroy the Demon Outpost", kill the demons in the outpost, reward spirit coins of 8000, c-level trial stone x3.]
Side Quest?
After Lin Zhe took over the mission, he walked around the demon camp and came to a tree not far away. As soon as he walked over, he walked out of the shadow behind the tree.
"Have you received a side mission?" Lin Zhe asked.
Nodded suddenly.
Lin Zhe said, "Then do it... the two demon eyes, one at the top of the sentry tower and the other in the wooden shed. Once discovered by them, they will convey our message to all the demons within ten kilometers. Although it is not clear how many demons there are within ten kilometers, it is best not to take risks... I use the Poxiao Bow to solve the one at the top of the sentry tower, and you rush into the wooden shed as fast as possible to kill the other!"
"Okay." Nodded suddenly.
To be continued...
