Chapter Eighty-Three: The "Missing" Serpent Canyon (I went to work today...) I feel like I haven't rested at all~)
The kingdom of Lugoin is located in a desert, and it is well known that in desert areas, especially those filled with demonic projections, the environment is much more dangerous at night than during the day.
The human army and even some weak mercenaries will cause some of their combat effectiveness to decline due to the cold at night, but the demon projections have no worries about this at all.
Moreover, humans are not good at fighting in the dark, and only specially trained legions can compete in the dark with demonic projections with complete night vision.
But there is no such corps in Lugoin.
Because it is a sunny summer all year round, no one has ever thought of fighting demons at night, so Rugoin's army is also seriously inexperienced in night warfare.
Now, however, due to King Jehin's sudden advance planning, the legions, who had almost never had experience in night battles and were not yet fully prepared, were to go to the various sealing points in the city and under the palace to carry out dangerous missions they had never carried out before.
Captain Secret Agent can almost just think about it, and he can make up what kind of bloody scene it will be.
And there were the inhabitants of the city, to whom Jehein had never even prepared to give them any warning.
So you can imagine how horrified the civilians who were sleeping at home would be when they saw the monsters that broke through the door, and how many people would be killed by the demon projections in their beds, living rooms, or corridors......
In the face of such a mission, even the secret agent captain, who already considered himself to be a hard-hearted agent, could not come back to his senses for a while.
"What are you waiting for? Is it ready to confront my command?! Jie Haiyin suddenly burst into a loud cry, turned his head with a hideous face, and looked at a corner of the dark room.
At the same time, the Secret Agent Captain also felt an overwhelming pressure coming from the dark room across a wall, directly pressing on him, instantly crushing him and almost lying on the ground.
Legendary Pressure!
That one was right next to the king!
The black mask of the Secret Agent Captain's face suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and he immediately made amends, shouting to the king who was staring at him coldly, "Understood, Your Majesty! I'll do it right away! ”
"Humph! Then go for it! Remember, you've run out of opportunities......"
Jie Haiyin snorted coldly, waved the luxurious blue silk robe on his body, and turned back again.
However, just as the Secret Agent Captain wiped the cold sweat from his head and was about to go down to deliver the order, a soft lilac light suddenly erupted in the air in front of the terrace where Jahine was standing, and a female half-body projection wearing a dark purple robe and covering the upper half of her face with a hood appeared there without warning.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Jay Hein, Ruler of the Aranok Desert, King of Rugoin, Ruler of the Pearl of the Desert.
I'm Monica Harold, an Inspector from the Demon Fortress Council.
We apologize for the interruption of late-night visits because of the importance of the matter, so please forgive me.
Since we have just received a request from your local Guardians regarding your audit investigation, we are asking for your cooperation with you to conduct a detailed audit of how you work with the Guardians in the near future.
As the initiator and main implementer of this audit action, the local guardians of Lugoin will submit an audit application and investigation suggestions to you tomorrow morning, of course, their audit action will be supervised by us in a special way, so please rest assured that the fairness issue is still assured.
For my part, I sincerely hope that the outcome of this audit investigation is just a false alarm and a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that can be resolved in an easy, very simple way.
But all the problems will not be clarified until the results of the investigation are released.
Finally, I wish you a good night, Your Majesty the King. ”
After the soft female voice finished the above words smoothly under everyone's dull gaze, she disappeared into the air in front of the terrace with the half-body female image, not caring for the mood of everyone in the room at the moment.
Jayhain's face soon began to change rapidly, alternating between blue and purple, as if a large dye vat had just been knocked over on his face.
The legendary coercion that had been pressing on the leader of the agents had shrunk back the moment the image appeared, and there was only a dead silence outside the dark room at this moment.
The leader of the spy swallowed with difficulty, and then hesitantly glanced up at Jayhain's back, which was trembling violently.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked in a hoarsier voice than usual, "Your Majesty, the plan... Do you want to implement it immediately? ”
However, to his question, Jhein answered him in only one word.
"Get out!!"
When the leader of the spies came out of the dark chamber as if he had been pardoned, he almost immediately heard the sound of frantic smashing of things in the house, and the hoarse roar of His Majesty.
"Bastard!! Old bastard!! You old bastards!!!! ”
......
......
Just when Jahi was almost mad because his plan was thwarted.
In the distant dry highlands, Xue Hua, who was staying in the belly sac of the king worm, was quickly crossing this area from a high altitude, but he was in a daze at the map in front of him.
He had just discovered something very strange, even weird, on this high-priced military-grade map.
That is around the area marked on the map as "Distant Oasis", and there is no other map of the area that is referred to in the game as the "Lost City".
Not even the slightest clue.
And the map, which is called "Snake Canyon" in the dark game, has not even seen a shadow......
Is there a mistake with wood?
Could it be that those two areas have not been discovered by professionals to this day?
What the hell is going on?
You must know that among the two destinations of his trip, in addition to the maggot nest located under the distant oasis, the other target is the "Sharp-clawed Pit Viper Temple" located in the snake canyon!
In the game, underneath the temple is the location of the Serpentine Ornament, one of the three components of the Hradik Staff!
Now you don't even know where you are?
How did he find this?
Forcibly increase the difficulty of the game?
Come on! That's hard enough, okay?
You know, the reason why the distant oasis is called "far-fetched" is because there is still a long and difficult journey to get there from the dry highlands.
If this distance is taken by land, it is generally difficult to reach it for ten days and half a month, and this is under the premise of no monster interference.
Even if Xue Hua now took a more convenient air route without detouring because of the terrain, this journey would have to take at least five or six days......
He was already on a tight schedule, as he needed to set aside a few days in case he hadn't found one of the components of the Hradic Staff under the maggot's nest.
And most disgustingly, Anne had told him about maggot nests she had found in the taverns of the city from some professionals who had been to distant oases.
The lair does exist, but it's not fixed in a certain location like in the game.
The vast network of wormways beneath the nest was constantly moving, and even the location of the entrance was constantly changing......
This meant that Xue Hua had to at least spend effort to find the location of that nest, and then he could let the insect swarm go down directly to a tunnel, directly skip those disgusting insect paths, and go to find trouble with the mother of sandworms.
Even if he used the network of tunnel worms of the swarm at any cost, it would take time for the tunnel worms to get directly under the maggot's nest without knowing the specific location.
And the mother of sandworms......
It stands to reason that although it is difficult to find the location of the maggot's nest, after such a long time, there are not a few professionals who have entered it.
But among so many professionals, none of them have ever seen the fat giant sandworm boss down there......
They all swore that the hell place was just an underground passage full of disgusting bug monsters, and there were no dark gold bosses in it except for the occasional champion monster and elite monster......
This specifically means that either the Mother of Sandworms does not exist in this real world.
Either that, the Mother of Sand Worms was hidden much deeper than Xue Hua had imagined before, and it might not be so easy to find it......
In this case, he still has to spend energy to find the "Snake Canyon"?
What kind of international joke are you making???
