Luo Ling looked at the things on the teleportation magic circle in confusion, with a look of disgust on his face.
Demon blood beads are more convenient to collect and preserve, while these fresh blood are quite troublesome to collect, and they are all low-level demon blood.
"Is it because the sacrifice we gave is only worth this little blood?" Gu Mingzhi guessed, he was embarrassed to let others know that he was using such a shameful method to stimulate the demon, which was completely another form of devilish behavior.
"It's very likely."
When the tail fire tiger ate the blood beads of the ancient flame demon, it was unknown what kind of sacrifice it offered.
Just as the two of them continued to stimulate the demon, the altar's teleportation array flashed, and a scarred monster suddenly appeared!
Stone Demon lv44, a demon with a body as hard as a stone statue, feeds on various rare minerals, and is good at close combat.
The appearance of this demon is somewhat similar to the gargoyle that Luo Ling saw in the undead disaster in the dungeon, except that this stone demon looks bigger and more ferocious, while the gargoyle looks more like a bat.
"I finally succeeded. You damned two-legged beasts actually dared to insult the great Demon King!"
The stone demon didn't care about his own injuries and rushed directly towards Luo Ling and Gu Mingzhi, trying to tear them apart.
But it rushed forward a few steps, and its body was tightly entangled by the vines that suddenly appeared.
After struggling hard to no avail, the stone demon suddenly stretched out its slender and sharp tongue and began to cut the vines.
Luo Ling finally caught such a demon, and he was reluctant to kill it, but wanted to capture it to get more information.
He did not know the demon language, but the druid profession could express his emotions to any species. Now it was just a matter of slowly communicating.
Gu Mingzhi continued to fish above the altar, and Luo Ling used vines to drag the stone demon aside.
No matter how the other party cursed, he turned a deaf ear to it, and the sea of ​​flowers skill quietly came online and began to cover the stone demon.
However, this demon seemed to be unaffected by the illusion and was directly immune to it.
"Let me go, let me tear you apart!"
"How dare you insult the great Lord Eric, you should all be destroyed by blood and fire!"
"The great Lord Eric cannot be insulted, your world is about to end, we are targeting you!"
"No one in the plane Lord Eric has set his sights on can escape!"
"This demon altar was actually desecrated by you, Lord Valta has gathered troops and is attacking here!"
Perhaps all demons are chatterboxes, this stone demon kept cursing, wishing to tear Luo Ling into pieces.
Luo Ling didn't know whether the illusion was simply ineffective against stone demons or had no effect on the demon race, so he could only put the question aside for the time being, and wait for Gu Mingzhi to fish out another demon before trying it out.
Communication has always been a big problem, he tried to ask, "Do you know where this is? What is the strength of your Lord Demon now?"
The stone demon didn't understand what the human in front of him was saying. When
the abyss demons invaded other planes, they never chatted with each other calmly, and there was no so-called common language.
Suddenly, the stone demon shattered its body into pieces and escaped directly from the vines.
Then the pieces reassembled into a complete body and swung its fist at Luo Ling.
However, the powerful fist suddenly hit a mirror, and the huge rebound force made the stone demon groan and fly backwards.
Luo Ling really didn't expect that the stone demon would have such a talent for disintegration and reconstruction.
The abilities of demons are really strange and hard to guard against. But it was just a little surprising, the difference in strength was quite obvious.
He could fight with quasi-legendary bosses before he reached level 40, and even defeated the legendary Sky-Swallowing Python. Now the stone demon is only in his forties, and he easily subdued it with violence.
"Since you are a stone, you should be able to survive in the space bag." After saying that, he put the stone demon tied up with butterfly baby silk into the space bag.
This space bag has always been a decoration, with a capacity of only a few cubic meters, and now it is finally useful.
Luo Ling did not receive any notification from the system that he had killed the demon, and knew that his attempt would definitely succeed.
"Can it really be stored in the space bag?"
"It may not need to breathe in essence, anyway, there is no danger to life in the space bag. Next, let's test the killing power of Yangyanjue on demons. It sounds like the other side has been completely enraged. Would we accidentally bring the plane war forward?"
Luo Ling had this idea in his mind since he heard the words of the stone statue demon.
If the demons follow their way, it may take a long time to infiltrate the Ancestral Secret Realm, and then use it as a springboard to attack the Vana Continent.
The actions of himself and Gu Mingzhi are likely to anger the other side.
"If a plane war is launched so easily, it will be too child's play." Gu Mingzhi comforted, "The Abyss wants to invade the Vana Continent for a long time, and it will not be brought forward or delayed because of our actions."
The demons are so powerful that there may be more than one altar even in the Ancestral Secret Realm, not to mention the rest of the Vana Continent.
If they report to the Demon King because of the provocation of the two of them, these demons are too useless.
After hearing what his friend said, Luo Ling finally felt relieved.
The demons must have arranged on a large scale. For example, they have arranged on the orcs side, and there must be similar altars on the trolls and sea tribes. Otherwise, it is impossible for the demonization range to be so wide.
After planning for so long, even if he has to endure it, he has to endure it for a while.
"This Eric Demon King sounds very powerful. The layer of the abyss where he is located must be very strong." Luo Ling concluded, "Usually legendary demons can occupy a plane and are called abyss lords. But Eric was a demigod-level strongman 30,000 years ago. His subordinates may be stronger than the shallowest abyss lord. It is unfortunate to be targeted by such a powerful existence."
The abyss is endless, and no one knows how many layers there are. It is
only known that the lords of the surface abyss are weak, and the deeper the abyss lords are, the stronger they are, the wider the area, and the richer the products.
Many adventurers regard the Endless Abyss as an adventure place, but they usually adventure in the shallow area and dare not go to the lower area.
While placing shredded meat on the teleportation magic circle, Gu Mingzhi expressed his opinion, "There should have been many gods on the Vana continent 30,000 years ago. Would the gods allow these demons to destroy the continent and ruin the believers?"
The gods here are not fixed. During the ancient wars between gods, gods often fell.
Then the newcomers replaced the ancient gods' priesthood and became new gods.
However, as the gods gradually fell into slumber, more and more priesthoods were occupied, and the newcomers had no extra priesthoods to control. According to the records of the elves, only one god of knowledge and the god of the dead successfully ignited the divine fire during the 30,000 years.
"There must be strong people at the level of true gods in the abyss. If the gods take action directly, it may cause a war of gods. But I think they must have used other methods. Maybe those churches successfully developed and grew during the demon invasion." The gods
are not stupid. If the whole world is safe and sound, who will believe in them? They
will not eliminate all threats. At the same time, because of different priesthoods, the other gods will not allow them to dominate alone.
For example, the gods of the justice and law camp and the chaotic evil camp will definitely not reach an agreement.
At present, the gods are too far away from him, and Luo Ling doesn't want to think too much, so as not to worry too much.
Almost all of these foreign players don't believe in gods. Instead, the residents recruited from the territory are a natural source of faith.
No matter what the reason, this part of the residents will definitely be noticed by the gods.
"Hey, another demon has been teleported here!"
Luo Ling's dizzy hammer skill has been activated. When the demon on the teleportation magic circle just appeared, the hammer condensed by the fighting spirit smashed down.
The long-prepared attack did not work at all. The dizzy hammer did not hit the demon's head. This multi-armed demon looked like an octopus on land.
The tentacles stretched in all directions, and the eyes were hidden in the tentacles. Only a few tentacles were smashed down.
The multi-armed demon is lv49, with strong combat power and poisonous tentacles.
"This is actually a multi-armed demon? It's clearly an octopus demon!" Luo Ling always thought that multi-armed demons were in the form of two arms, four arms, and six arms like Naga, but it turned out to be an octopus.
The tentacles are thick, with mucus on them, and there is a sound of breaking wind when they are waved.
These tentacles are actually scarred and were all injured during the space teleportation. Some of the newly grown tentacles were pink in color and not as strong as the tentacles around them.
"Come on!"
Luo Ling wanted to find an opportunity to test the power of the Sun Flame Technique, so Gu Mingzhi fought in the front while he condensed a ball of Sun Flame in the back.
The Sun Flame Technique had just been performed and immediately turned into a raging fire.
After the multi-armed demon saw the Sun Flame Technique, it suddenly vomited a stream of black ink with a strong fishy smell, completely ignoring the huge injuries caused by the swordsman in front.
Luo Ling performed the Sun Flame Technique on the multi-armed demon. This seemingly ordinary Sun Flame suddenly covered one of the multi-armed demon's tentacles and quickly ignited it!
The multi-armed demon was also ruthless. He would even cut off his wrist to survive. He took the initiative to cut off this tentacle and quickly fled to the side area. The root of the tentacle that had just been broken began to slowly grow granulations again, and it only needed to consume the energy normally stored in the body.
The tentacle on the ground was usually very hard and tough, but now it was quickly burned to ashes.
As expected, it was a spell specially developed by the strongest druid, and it was very targeted.
It was just an ordinary skill when used on other creatures, but once it was used on demons, it was a magical skill that specifically defeated demons.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you desecrate the altar of the Lord Demon?"
"We were kind enough to help you improve your strength, but you insulted the abyss in this way!"
The multi-armed demon roared and waved its tentacles to attack.
But Gu Mingzhi's sword was so sharp that it cut off all the tentacles that came over.
While the multi-armed demon's new tentacles had not yet grown, Luo Ling immediately cast the Sun Flame Technique in succession, causing the multi-armed demon to be enveloped in flames.
"What kind of flame is this?"
"Damn it, it hurts!"
"What's going on? How do I put it out?"
"Damn two-legged beasts, I didn't expect you to be so insidious and vicious!"
The ink sprayed by the multi-armed demon was useless, and even if it rolled on the ground, it couldn't stop the Sun Flame Technique.
Luo Ling wanted to leave a survivor, so he ended the control of Yangyan Jutsu, leaving behind a body that looked burnt and dried. It had come to this point, but it was still alive.
The tenacity of the demon's vitality was evident!
He used the same trick again and put it into another space bag. After
harvesting two demons in a row, Luo Ling found that the light of the teleportation array on the altar was gradually getting stronger. Someone was strengthening it across time and space, and it seemed to be accumulating strength to prepare for teleportation.
"What should we do now?" Gu Mingzhi looked up at his friend, "What are you going to do?"
This was the other party's task, and the decision was definitely in his hands.
Luo Ling thought about it and replied, "Destroy this altar, so that stronger demons cannot be teleported here."
This was originally a place where demons used blood beads to control and demonize creatures.
It would definitely not be enough to just block it, and destroying it directly would be the most direct.
The two quickly left the altar, and then used their skills to target the altar.
The two skills of Black Dragon's Fury and Apollo's Fury appeared in turn.
Especially after Luo Ling learned Yangyanjutsu, the destructive power of the sunlight crystals condensed by Apollo's Fury became stronger, and the attack power against demons also became stronger.
Gu Mingzhi was not idle either, and his fighting spirit turned into sword shadows and chopped at the altar.
The demon altar, which was originally only partially defended by runes and magic circles, collapsed with a loud bang, and was covered with dust.
Congratulations to the player for successfully destroying the demon altar x1, and rewarded with 50,000 experience points and 1,000 points for the abyss invasion!
"You also received the prompt, right?" Luo Ling asked.
Gu Mingzhi nodded heavily, and this prompt completely confirmed their conjecture.
The abyss will indeed invade the Vana continent, and it has even been recognized by the game system, and even the points have appeared.
"After the orcs are over, it turns out to be demons. It seems we have to prepare in advance. After all, there will be players of all ages joining in, and the difficulty will be directly raised to a level. I hope there will be fewer casualties."
Luo Ling is now very hesitant, and then said, "Should we tell the players that the next invasion will be the abyss demons?" "
Let's talk about it after the orcs' southward march is completely over. What we say now will not be of any help and will only make everyone fall into distress."
"Then we will post relevant information in the group or forum. Now let's try to find more relevant information and find out the weaknesses that can restrain these demons."
It's a pity for this altar. If the other side still teleported some weak demon specimens, it would be fine. There had to be a strong monster.
After destroying this altar, Luo Ling found that the task assigned to him by the Ancestral Secret Realm was actually completed, but he hadn't seen any reward yet.
"There may be only one demon altar in the secret realm. The remaining demonized creatures depend on whether the secret realm can eliminate them."
"There is still some time. Let's go to the territory of the rabbit monsters to find the seventh-level crystal."
While the buff of the weak version of the Son of the Plane was still there, Luo Ling and the others simply cleaned up the altar and took away the space attribute crystals. There were a total of six third-level crystals, just three for each person.
They have been busy for nearly ten hours, and the harvest is almost all things related to demons. The value of the demon blood beads and the demons themselves is inestimable, and they may play an important role in the hands of the right people.
After entering the Ancestral Secret Realm for so long, there are less than two hours left, and I don't know if it is enough to defeat or entangle the Sky-turning Rabbit.
The main reason is that the secret realm is too wide, and it takes a lot of time to travel.
However, just as Luo Ling was about to set off, an eagle-like monster began to circle over his head.
"I'll deal with the Sky-turning Rabbit next time. Now go and claim my quest reward." Luo Ling immediately understood what the eagle-like monster meant, and it asked him to follow.
Not caring about exposing his whereabouts, he spread his wind and thunder wings and flew in the air. Gu Mingzhi also released the fifth-level thunderbird and began to follow him.
The thunderbird's eyes could not help but fall on the pair of wings behind Luo Ling. It envied the power of the wings, and at the same time, its existence made it afraid.
A pair of wings that were good for no reason were cut off and made into alchemical items!
Luo Ling said as he flew, "It should be a good thing."
The Ancestral Secret Realm is so rich. If it is not a good thing, it is really sorry for the main consciousness of this secret realm.
The eagle screamed in the sky and flew very quickly. Under its leadership, the nearby flying monsters did not come up to cause trouble, saving a lot of time.
Soon, the wind-chasing eagle landed on a cliff. At this time, there was a flash of light on the cliff, and there was an open-pit mineral!
"Thank you, I will make good use of this time."
Luo Ling thanked the Wind Chaser Eagle, and then he and Gu Mingzhi started mining frantically.
This time the monsters would not attack him, and the time was longer, so he could mine minerals in peace.
The next time he entered the Ancestral Secret Realm, it was very likely that the hostile relationship would resume.
"It's amazing that the vein of this water-attributed magic crystal is on a cliff." Gu Mingzhi's semi-artifact-level long sword turned into a mining tool, cutting the crystal exposed on the cliff.
Luo Ling was not to be outdone, and turned into a ten-meter-tall giant to mine, and then turned into a Behemoth.
When the two skills were resting and cooling down, they used the Black Dragon Spear to mine. Both of them knew that this opportunity was rare, and there was no time to talk or even sigh.
Saying one more word might mean mining one less crystal.
The grade of the water-attributed magic crystal ore on the cliff was not particularly high, only level six.
Even so, it was much higher than the grade of the veins found in all players' territories.
Now most players have not even popularized the fourth-grade crystals, and the fifth-grade ones are even rarer. The players on the leaderboard can't even get the sixth-grade crystals.
The higher-grade crystal veins must be occupied by the monsters. The consciousness of the ancestral secret realm cannot let these monsters directly give up the benefits they have obtained. They can only help Luo Ling find the unoccupied veins in the wild.
The whole cliff was hollowed out by the two of them!
...
In the wizard tower of the Oak Territory, the light of the teleportation magic circle flashed, and two tired figures appeared in the bondage house.
Kelvin calculated the time and waited by the side. He said, "Congratulations to the two lords for their triumphant return!"
"Thank you, I've really experienced a lot today and I'm exhausted." Luo Ling sighed, "I fought with the devil in the front, and then turned into a miner in the back."
"I gained a lot from this trip to the Ancestral Secret Realm. I not only learned about the existence of devils, but also got so many crystals. Not to mention my Changzheng Territory, even the Chinese base can develop rapidly." Gu Mingzhi said excitedly, "I really want to thank Luo Ling for bringing me into the secret realm. After a rest, I will open the portal to the secret realm." "You're welcome
. It's rare that you are willing to spend so much time to help me complete the task. This time it's a win-win situation. Digest it well."
"Well, then I'll teleport back to the Chinese base. If you have time, just chat with me privately or in the group." Gu Mingzhi was a little anxious. He was actually a little eager to go home in the secret realm, and now he didn't want to stay in the Oak Territory at all.
Luo Ling waved and said, "Okay, goodbye."
Gu Mingzhi waved, then saluted in a standard military salute, and then disappeared into the room.
Kelvin next to him widened his eyes and fell into deep trouble. He muttered to himself, "There is no spatial fluctuation. How could this lord suddenly disappear?"
The power of the game system has exceeded Kelvin's understanding. This is completely a manifestation of the rules.
"It may be the power of the gods. We, the gods' favored ones, can be free from the constraints of space to a certain extent and teleport directly back to the station."
Luo Ling didn't notice it at first, but after he finished speaking, he realized how buggy the gang station teleportation function was.
Even if you are trapped somewhere, as long as you can teleport back to the gang station, there will be no casualties. You can choose to teleport to the nearest gang member's territory, and then run back to your own territory.
"The teleportation of the gods will not cause spatial fluctuations or changes?" Kelvin began to think about it now. He felt that he had not yet grasped the essence and was still far from mastering the rules.
"I don't know about that."
Luo Ling couldn't tell him that this was the ability of the system, so he changed the subject and asked, "How was the territory during the time I was away?"
Kelvin temporarily suppressed his doubts and replied, "The territory suffered a total of 16 attacks today. Each attack was small or medium-sized and had little impact. At the same time, we also accepted 128 refugees. These refugees are skilled craftsmen and have mastered a relatively advanced craft."
"It sounds good. I also gained a lot in the secret realm today. There are more than fifty sixth-level water-attribute magic crystals alone, but it's a pity that there are no seventh-level ones."
Luo Ling did not ask Gu Mingzhi how much he had mined. At that time, both of them were digging desperately based on their own abilities.
