Chapter 17: Searching the Mountain

The Great Wheel Pluto was completely entangled by the rebellious demons, and the other demons were also busy with their own affairs. No department in the entire demon palace could still perform its due function. Xuanwu and Yinxu, I, were so swaying and looking for Baihu and Shuixu everywhere in the mountain where the demon palace was located. Although I encountered countless demons along the way, none of them had noticed us. The so-called chaos in the war is probably the current situation.

"It's strange! They can't evaporate on earth, right?" After walking around the mountains for a few times, we searched almost all the places in the Demon Palace, but we couldn't find Shuixu and Baihu.

Xuanwu seemed a little anxious. After all, such a good opportunity is not often encountered. If you don’t take advantage of this chaos to finish the matter, you will have to pay a hundred times the price if you want to do it again!

I thought for a while and said, "Why don't you do this! The three of us look for it separately, and take Shuixu, Baihu and others to find the two pieces of jade."

"But I don't know what that thing looks like?" Yin Xue pulled me and asked.

"This is for you." Xuanwu took out a piece of jade the size of a fingernail and handed it to Yinxue. "Can you feel the energy above?"

Yinxue nodded: "It's very special energy, very powerful, very warm!"

"Those two pieces of jade are from this material. As long as you feel the same energy, don't doubt it no matter what shape it is." Xuanwu seemed to think of something again after saying that, and then said to me: "You have seen the appearance of the jade pendant, but you are more likely to be confused. When you go to find it, don't pay attention to the shape. That thing may not appear as you see in the heavenly court. It may also become very large, or even a living item. Only when the energy is the same can you determine whether it is a real target. The shape does not matter."

I nodded: "I understand. I have felt the energy characteristics of that piece of jade, and it is very special. It should be easy to identify."

"Okay, let's look for it separately now." Xuanwu said.

I added: "Remember, no matter whether you find it or not, once the chaos in the demon land is controlled, you must leave immediately. We will go back to Aisinger to meet and find another way. If anyone finds the jade, create a red cloud ball in the sky. If one finds one, create a ball, and if both pieces are found, create two balls."

Xuanwu also said: "Then it's better to be more detailed. Whoever thinks it's necessary to retreat urgently will create a green cloud in the sky. If anyone finds the White Tiger, they will create a golden cloud in the sky. If everyone needs to meet, they will shoot a seven-colored light column directly into the sky, and we will follow the light column to find the target location."

"No problem, then everyone is looking for it separately now."

After discussing the contact code, we immediately began to disperse our actions. I was not worried about the safety of Xuanwu and Yinxue. As long as I was not surrounded by demons, with their strength, even if I face the Great Wheel Pluto. In comparison, the most dangerous one was me. Although only a small part of the demons here has the ability to deal with me. The problem is that the total number of demons is too large, and this small part is tens of thousands. Besides, what if they siege me?

After thinking about it, I still switched to Silver Moon mode. Anyway, there are only a few people who know my small account among the demons. At least you don’t have to worry about being recognized. But the problem also arises - the charm value of this small account is too high, and it always attracts a group of small demons to be crazy behind. I have no choice but to burn it all the way to see who dares to get close.

The design of the demons' strongholds is quite strange. Many of the buildings are not in the orthodox style. The meeting hall of the Lord of the Demon Palace is not in the center of the Demon Palace building complex, and the garrison site is also built everywhere, with no rules at all. After walking around for a few hours, it was almost dark, but I still couldn't find the place. I met Xuanwu and Yinxue once during the search process.

From our meeting, we can infer that our search range should have completely covered the entire demon palace, otherwise we would not have collided together. But we still did not find the target. Based on the above situation, I roughly speculated. Either the two pieces of jade were placed in some secret place. Or it wasn't here at all. But we didn't even find the White Tiger, so this seemed to be wrong.

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility - the treasure place is very special and hidden so well that we have never noticed this place.

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and in the end I could only ask for help from the military god. I used the ring of love to contact Rose, and then asked her to help contact the military god. Through the satellite functions of Dihaotian Mirror and Babelta in the guild, we made a rough structural model for the Demon Palace. Then I began to search for each area one by one according to the structural model. When I searched all the places again, I still couldn't find the target.

According to the model established by the God of War, I have confirmed that I have searched all the key points on the mountain, and the God of War has also confirmed that I have not missed any place.

"Purple Sun." The God of War said to me through the Rose's Ring of Love: "Give you a suggestion."

"What?"

"You leave the location of the Demon Palace first."

"Why?"

"Because I analyzed the route you took before. Combined with the various architectural functions you mentioned, I made a detailed architectural function database for the Demon Palace, but it turned out that the Demon Palace was not complete."

"Incomplete? What do you mean?"

"A base should include at least one basic facility, but this demon temple lacks training areas and valuable warehouses, and there are no advanced residential areas used by senior personnel. According to international practice, the above settings are necessary. Even if the demon temple is not fully completed, these facilities should be completed first."

"So what? What is your inference?"

"So I speculate that there are underground parts or hidden areas in the Demon Palace, and there are virtual spaces and magic spaces in the game. Some areas of the Demon Palace may be shrouded in such places, or they may be simple underground facilities, but you don't find the entrance."

"I understand, I'll go and see if there is anything hidden underground now."

Fortunately, many people can make holes in my summoning creatures, and this mountain happens to be a rocky mountain with a solid structure, so it is very simple for my search. I asked Adina and Rose Vine to use echo positioning capabilities, and then tanks and King Kong used heavy hammers to smash the ground to create superimposed shock waves. Relying on different attack intervals, sound waves will interfere, and different formations reflect different reflections on sound waves. Using multiple waves to superimpose each other, you can get the rough structure and composition of the ground below.

The feedback from Rose Vine and Adina was the same. There was no hollow area under the mountain, which means there was no underground building, so there was only one possibility left. I took Emmenis around the mountain again, but the result was still disappointing. I found countless hidden camouflage objects along the way, but none of them were what we were looking for.

Rose and the God of War were sitting in Aisinger to help me figure out a solution, but I was here to figure it out, but in the end, Rose came quickly. Rose said to me through the ring of love: "The God of War just ran a behavior simulation program. Through the previous situation, we simulated the personality traits of the Great Wheel Pluto, and then we got a very unexpected result. Do you want to try it?"

"Anyway, there is no place to find it, so you have to try it if you don't try it!" The chaotic mortification of the demon was almost over. If you were not happy, you would have no chance!

Rose said: "According to the simulation results, Pluto is an extremely conceited person, so according to her personality, she hid things in places she thought others could not think of."

"Where is that?"

"The entrance to the Demon Palace."

"The entrance? I've checked it. Even Emmenis didn't find anything like camouflage."

"It is not the entrance to the main hall of the Demon Palace, but the entrance to the mountain area where the entire Demon Palace is located, which is where you meet the first group of people who secretly observe you."

"You mean, Pluto, the Great Wheel, took that thing out of the mountain?"

"It's almost the same!" Rose said: "The God of War said that you are 70% sure that the things are at the location of the first secret outpost you meet."

"Okay, I'll go out to find it."

The guy Big Wheel Pluto is really. I don’t know what I thought, but he actually hid his things in a place where no one guarded him. Does she really think that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is? No matter what, since it is the result of the military god’s speculation, I have to go and take a look!

He took Emmenis out of the location of the Demon Palace. Before I reached the mountain pass, I began to believe in the judgment of the War God because I found the corpse. There were many corpses of demons on the side of the mountain road at the entrance of the Demon Palace, and they were all killed in one blow. Judging from the location and shape of the wound, the strength of the people in the starting line is much higher than these demons, because these demons were finished without any reaction, and many people had their faces with the expressions they had before they died.

This is the mountain pass. The chaos in the mountain probably did not affect it, but there were so many dead bodies here. That could only be done by Baihu and Shuixu. It seems that I have at least found the right direction.

Continue to move forward along the trajectory of the corpses, and soon I arrived at the entrance to the mountain. A large number of players can be seen here. Now it is past seven o'clock in Beijing time, and it happens that there are a lot of people online, and there are leveling players everywhere. However, this is the periphery of the mountain, so no one knows that the mountains are already in chaos.

I slid lightly from a tree to behind a team of players who were leveling up, and then asked the priest mm at the end of the team and said, "Sorry, disturb me."

"What's the matter?" The answer was not the priest mm, but the knight in front. This guy seemed to be the captain here. He walked back from the front when he saw someone asking. The monster they were fighting was already dead.

"I'm looking for someone, I don't know if you've seen it."

A beautifully dressed female mage came over and asked, "What kind of person is it? We may not remember it. There are many people at this time."

"I'm not sure how many of them are, but three of them should be very distinctive. There is a middle-aged man, about 1.9 meters tall, with an exaggerated muscles, wearing a Chinese-style white tiger-skin armor. There is also an old man in gray robe who looks very trivial. The last one is a woman, wearing a red dress and a very hot figure."

A younger soldier came over from the front and said, "I've seen it. Are there three of them? Among them, there is a young male, who looks cool, like an assassin. There is also a 24- or 25-year-old man with muscles as long as rocks. The last one has a pair of big eyes, like a monster."

"Yes, it's them." I described the appearance of Baihu, Yinyao and Shuixu before. The warrior said that the appearance of Bituo and Qionglin happened to be the appearance of Bituo and Qionglin. As for the person with big eyes, it was probably Shuixu's old friend. He said he wanted to ask an old friend to help find out where the things were hidden. "Where did you see them going?"

"Then." The warrior pointed to a forest on the left.

"Then?" The direction was a little surprised, because although I had to go around a big circle from there, I would still walk into the mountains in the end. Why didn't Baihu and the others go directly from the mountains before? Why did they walk out first and then go around here? Although I was a little suspicious, I finally decided to go in and take a look. "Thank you." After I thanked me, I turned around and walked towards the woods.

After entering the forest, the number of players was obviously smaller. There were almost more players in the open space outside than monsters. After walking forward, I found that someone was following me, and I was getting closer and closer. After walking around a big tree, I leaned directly on the big tree and asked Emmenis to create an illusion for me to continue moving forward. Then I put Emmenis away. Listening to the rustling sound of the leaves, I could accurately determine the other party’s location. There were quite a few people coming, at least more than a dozen.

I was ready for battle. When the footsteps in front reached the trunk of the tree where I was hiding, I suddenly flashed from behind the tree. The other party did not expect me to be here at all. He was still staring at the illusion in front of me, but he did not expect me to suddenly appear from here. Before he could react, I had hooked his neck first. I turned him around in a circle and blocked him in front of me, and at the same time extended the staff from under his arm to point at others. "Thunder Flame Ghost Meteor."

A blue fireball gushed out from the top of the staff. The enemies in front quickly hid behind the tree, but found that these blue fireballs were blocked by countless trees and easily passed through the tree. They knocked the seven or eight people in the front away, and rolled on the ground, extinguishing the flames.

Buzz. The sound of the shaking of the bowstring. Puff. The guy in front of me had an arrow on his body, and he completed the shield work very diligently. My spell did not stop. The previous magic was just a spell used for suppression. It was not powerful, but it was fast. With the delay of the row of fireballs in front, I had completed a truly lethal aggressive magic. "Flame Storm." A large piece of flame sickle swirled out, and only a crackling sound was heard, followed by the screams of people and the sound of trees breaking. More than a dozen big trees that were embraced by the two men fell to the ground with a squeaking sound. The people hiding behind the tree were seriously burned, and some were even cut off by the flame sickle. They were wailing on the ground.

A muddy baritone shouted: "The other party is a master, be careful. Go back and call someone." I quickly found the guy's hiding place with the help of the sound, and my body quickly deformed. The colorful armor was completely replaced by the black and golden earth demon dragon suit. The earth-solar staff on my right hand disappeared in the flames, and I had entered the purple sun form. Unfortunately, the guy who was held as a shield could no longer recognize me, because he had been shot into a hedgehog by his companion.

My right arm guard suddenly bounced up a little, and then stretched forward a little bit. With a thud, two bow arms bounced out. The Avengers entered the full power mode. "Don't be confused, everyone." The guy was still directing his team members with his voice. "Master quickly add state. The archer is ready to press..." The guy's voice stopped abruptly, and an arrow that penetrated the trunk was inserted into his temple. Blood flowed along the arrow shaft to the trunk, and then to the ground.

"The captain was killed, please note that that guy can shoot through the trunk. He...he...is Zi Ri!" The guy who came out to command instead of the killed captain finally recognized me. When I was shooting the archery, I had already changed back to the purple sun form. Yin Yue could only shoot magic arrows, and his penetration was not high.

The name shouted by the deputy captain had already scared most of the people around him to the ground, but the reinforcements coming behind obviously did not hear what the deputy captain in front of him shouted. An arrow flying from a faraway place accurately aimed at my right eye, but it stopped in an inch away from my eyes. The mercury shield stuck the arrow feathers.

"Don't..." "Run!" Two opposite orders were shouted out at the same time, and the commander of the people who arrived later looked at the deputy captain beside him with some confusion.

"That's Zi Ri!" The deputy captain's explanation made the reinforcements captain take two steps back.

"Are you crazy? You even told me that I found a big fish, that's a fucking shark. How many heads do you have to even rob him?"

For these people, this is actually a very simple thing. They saw me coming out of the forest alone, and at the same time found that I was wearing the best clothes, and then naturally thought of robbery. Although the punishment for killing people and exploding equipment is very serious, as long as the equipment is good enough, there are still players who will rob it. Obviously, this is not the first time these people have done it, so the organization is very tight. Because I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with it, I especially called reinforcements to come, and I can only plan but still not keep up with the changes.

"Rainbow." With my voice, a beautiful tree appeared behind me, and then I rushed towards the enemies around me. In my killing, those people were also chopping each other because they all thought they saw me rushing towards them. The specialty of the Rainbow Tree Demon is a super-large range of illusions, and it was better to deal with low-level personnel. I only had time to deal with one-third of them. They cut each other down on their own.

I specially left a living mouth, the young warrior I had been interested in before. "Ask you again. Did you see the person I was looking for?" The young man shook his head quickly. "Then you can die." I threw him into the sky, raised his hand and pointed it at the top of it, and then the Avenger automatically folded back to normal. After I left, the guy's body fell to the ground with a plop, and an arrow was inserted on the corpse's forehead, and there was a half-exposed arrow behind his head.

Compared to asking for directions, Bailang's nose is more effective. Back to the mountain pass, and let Bailang smell it for a long time. Finally, he found the smell of water. There are too many people in this place, and the smell is very messy, otherwise Bailang's nose would have been found long ago.

I continued to move out of the mountain with the smell, and I knew I was about to leave the edge of the forest in the mountains and stopped. Bailang circled a tree several times, and then said to me: "The smell broke when it comes here. But it didn't go to the tree either."

"Then it's probably the entrance here." I opened the Phoenix Dragon Space and released Emmenis. "Is there any disguise here?"

Emmenis looked at the big tree, then darkened the trunk with his hand. The space in front of him twisted a bit, and a not-so-conspicuous door was revealed on the trunk. This door seemed to be part of the trunk, but it was cut off. Otherwise, the seam between it and the surrounding trunks would not be able to tell that it was a door. The disguise of the Great Wheel Pluto is really thorough. Even if ordinary people have anti-invisible ability, they would not look at such an ordinary big tree carefully in such a forest full of trees. So even with the ability of Emmenis, it would be difficult to find out if they did not know the location in advance.

Let Emmenis go back to the Phoenix Dragon Space first. I studied it on that door, but finally I was worried about letting both Yeyue and Xiaolongnu out. After studying for a long time, Xiaolongnu was sure that there was a strong seal on this door. If it was forced to open it, it would destroy the connection between the door and the space channel. I would really not be able to enter at that time.

The place where Pluto hid things is not in this tree or under the tree. The door on this tree is just a space entrance. If we destroy the tree, then such a passage will no longer exist. Therefore, brute force cracking is useless for such places.

"Is there a way to get in without destroying the passage?" I asked Xiaolongnu.

Xiaolongnu shook her head: "Yes, yes, but for us there is and there is no."

"Why?"

"Because this method is to use the normal opening of the spell through here."

"But we don't have a spell?"

"So we can't get through!"

"This damn Big Wheel Pluto, I really want to strangle her to death!"

Ye Yue suddenly said, "Actually, I have a way, that is, I don't know if the Phantom Land technology can pass."

"What does it have to do with me?" The phantom broke away from me. "I am just a spiritual body, not a space channel."

"It's possible because you are a spiritual body."

"Why?"

Ye Yue said seriously: "You can try to collect free mental energy nearby. The mental fluctuations when using spells are like an energy explosion. After the explosion, there will definitely be smoke left, and there will be residual energy after the spell is used. You are a spiritual body. You should be able to read out these energy directly, and maybe you can spell out the spell."
To be continued...
