Chapter 161 The Lurker (extra update to help the leader back down)
The Mirage Clan demons are not biological creatures. It is said that they also farm and hunt, build houses and make weapons. So even though the nearby mountains and forests have been occupied by the Mirage Clan demons for hundreds of years, the overall environment has not changed much.
Zhang Yang even saw many traces left by the Great Wei Dynasty along the way, such as official roads, city walls, etc. Most of the official roads left by the Great Wei Dynasty were not abandoned, but became important transportation routes for the Mirage Clan demons.
A small part of the city walls was completely abandoned because there was a huge difference between the living styles of humans and the Mirage Tribe. Humans liked warm, dry, clean and bright places, while the Mirage Tribe preferred damp, cold, dirty and dark places.
Knowing this, Zhang Yang was safe as he hurried through the mountains and fields with the help of his soul force field.
In fact, he has not seen even one mirage demon yet.
"It's a bit strange. According to the information I got before, the Mirage Tribe demons are an egg-laying species that can reproduce dozens at a time. They have amazing vitality. It doesn't make sense that we can't see them after walking so far, right?"
Zhang Yang was thinking secretly while carrying twelve jade-colored wooden spears on his back. The surfaces of these wooden spears were all covered with complicated patterns, which were quite magical. This was the enchanting ability he had finally mastered.
There are twelve jade-transformed wooden spears, four of which are top-grade confinement spears, four of which are top-grade armor-piercing spears, and the last four are top-grade explosive spears.
Any one of them can kill the extraordinary in seconds.
In fact, with Zhang Yang's current strength of A+ in all four attributes, he would not need these twelve jade-transformed wooden spears at all when encountering enemies of extraordinary level or below. What he is wary of is encountering enemies above extraordinary level.
Because this game world is a veritable battlefield for the second-order civilizational hegemony. Even if it isn't, just because it's the only place where one can obtain a complete fairy village-building order, it will surely attract countless malicious covetousness.
Even several major countries in the East and West of the Earth were extremely concerned about this matter, and they were willing to obtain the key at the cost of having their civilization codes deciphered in large quantities, let alone other civilizations? So from this point of view, Wang Xinzhi's death was really unjust.
"Care leads to confusion!"
Zhang Yang's mind flashed with his parents and a large group of relatives and friends. Otherwise, if he were in the fantasy world, he would not do such a stupid thing to offend others.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhang Yang continued to move like a ghost.
Finally, after he had walked forward for dozens of miles, he finally saw a Wei Dynasty official road that was overgrown with weeds but the outline was still clearly visible. There was also a collapsed post station next to the official road. Judging from its size, one could vaguely see the prosperity of the official road in the past.
"The Great Wei was destroyed by the mysterious witch, there is no doubt about that, but there is another culprit, that is the Mirage Clan demons. However, the Mirage Clan was originally just an ordinary water tribe, but because of the evil demons from another world, they bred into a different species. These two clues may give me some ideas."
"In addition, this world is not so much my world as it is my village civilization. Over a long period of time, all competitors were eliminated, including my fellow competitors. Their villages only lasted for a few hundred years, and then they were probably slowly and silently swallowed up by the dynasty established by my village."
"And those dragons that appeared later were actually helpers found by the aliens who had bound the village building orders. They tried to build villages in this world, but unfortunately they were no match for the much larger dynasty army."
"Even more than 1,400 years ago, there was a battle between latent dragons in this world, which was probably very dangerous. But in the end, my village civilization was full of talented people and heroes, and eventually defeated all the latent dragons, including the Earth national team. After that, my village civilization was really as stable as a rock, and it lasted until 600 to 700 years ago, when the Mirage Clan Demon was born, forcing the Great Wei to take a defensive stance, which laid the hidden danger for this battle between latent dragons."
"In summary, those so-called 999 latent dragons are no match at all. The talents and heroes cultivated by my village civilization can defeat them. The only concerns are the mysterious witch and the evil demons from other worlds. Before I understand their details and weaknesses, I should not recruit troops. I don't want to repeat the old story of the wolf demon."
While Zhang Yang was thinking, he observed along the outer side of the official road. There were traces of people walking on the road recently, so he might encounter some prey.
After walking for only half an hour, he didn't see any prey, but he did smell a familiar fishy odor. It was the same smell he smelled when he killed the Mirage Demon.
He immediately took cover from the grass and trees, made a big circle, and came to the downwind side of the stench, then looked carefully.
What I saw was two groups of Mirage demons fighting each other. They looked basically the same, and if there were not two flags with different patterns flying, it would be easy to think they were fighting among themselves.
So Zhang Yang watched it with great interest and made comments from time to time.
"Their fighting ability is pretty good, almost all of them are captain-level, and it's obvious that they all know each other's strengths and weaknesses, so the fight is very close."
"From the scattered vehicles at the scene, it seems more like a grain transport convoy was attacked by another army. One side waited for a long time, and the other side fought back in panic. It seems that the outcome is about to be decided - huh?"
Just when Zhang Yang thought that the battle was about to end, a thin demon from the grain transporting party suddenly roared, and his body expanded rapidly. No, it was the skin on the surface of its body that expanded and then was torn apart, and a scarlet monster jumped out, but it was definitely not a mirage demon.
This sudden situation stunned the demons on both sides of the battle, and then the next second, a red shadow flashed, and within a few breaths, more than a hundred captain-level robbery demons and thirty or forty grain-transporting demons at the scene were all beheaded and killed.
Moreover, the red monster looked very angry and tore all the grain trucks into pieces, as if this food had once left a huge shadow on it.
After venting its anger, the red monster grabbed a demon's thigh and seemed to want to bite it, but in the end it shook its head and threw it away, then began to patiently cut the demons' skin.
A moment later, the red monster turned back into a captain-level demon. If Zhang Yang had not witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
At this moment, he really wanted to kill the red monster. Although the strength of this red monster was definitely above the extraordinary level, that is, legendary level, he still had a way to leave its head.
But in the end, Zhang Yang still endured it, not because he was afraid of losing the fight, but because he was afraid of alerting the enemy! He didn't know the other party's origin, purpose, and methods, and he would only leave trouble for the future if he killed him rashly.
Soon, the red monster made some arrangements at the scene and ran wildly in one direction.
But Zhang Yang did not follow, but walked in another direction.
Two hours later, a huge fish-mouth fortress appeared in front of him. This was a unique defensive building of the Mirage Demons. The Fish-mouth Fortress was alive and most conducive to defense.
The reason why the Wei Dynasty was unable to launch a counterattack and reclaim its homeland for hundreds of years was because there were countless Yuzui fortresses blocking the way.
Zhang Yang stopped three kilometers away from the Fish Mouth Fortress and lay in the grass. His entire body was enveloped by the soul force field, almost as if he did not exist.
He is waiting patiently.
As evening was approaching, a demon figure appeared tiredly in front of the fish-mouth fortress. It was the cunning red monster.
If I had really chased after him at that time, I would have been ambushed.
However, Zhang Yang easily determined the target by the flags of the two demon armies, the direction of the grain trucks, and the demon skin that the red monster had put on.
No need to track at all.
The red-skinned monster disguised as a demon easily entered the Fish Mouth Fortress. Zhang Yang guessed that either the demon it pretended to be had a very high identity, or this demon force had been repeatedly robbed by hostile demon forces in recent times, so they didn't even bother to confirm its authenticity.
"I'll be guarding here. I don't believe that the red-skinned monster won't show his true colors."
Zhang Yang was also very skilled and bold, so he decided to hide here.
In the next two days, the demon army in the Fish Mouth Fortress went in and out, and it seemed very busy, but the red-skinned monster demon never showed up.
Zhang Yang was not in a hurry and continued to guard.
Finally, on the third day, as a group of demon soldiers fled back to the Fish Mouth Fortress in a panic, a demon army of three thousand attacked here. They were the same group that had robbed the demon camp before. Zhang Yang had given them code names. The attackers were the Shrimp Shell Demons and the defenders were the Fish Lip Demons.
Well, after lurking for a long time and observing the details of these demons every day, Zhang Yang can now accurately tell the differences between them, including the changes in their accents and so on.
That’s right, Zhang Yang is also trying to decipher their language, and has made great progress.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
The war began, and Zhang Yang had already found a location with a wide field of vision and good conditions to broadcast live. From this location he could clearly observe whether the red-skinned monster would escape.
The battle process was predictably monotonous and bizarre. Sorry, Zhang Yang didn't think it would be bloody to see two groups of demons hacking at each other. It felt almost as interesting and fun as watching cricket fights.
The shrimp shell demons were obviously familiar with the weaknesses of the Fish Mouth Fortress. They shot a liquid with a fishy smell at the fortress. When there was enough liquid, the Fish Mouth Fortress was deformed, and the originally extremely solid city gate suddenly opened. It was very magical.
So the shrimp shell demons rushed in and chopped wildly, and the fish lip demons rushed out and chopped wildly, and the fortress was useless.
"This thing is good. I'll collect more if I have the chance. Who would have thought that the problem that has troubled the Wei Dynasty for hundreds of years could be solved by a bubble of liquid? Without the fish-mouth fortresses everywhere, with the invincible armored cavalry of the Wei Dynasty, what would this mere demon be? What a pity, what a pity!"
Zhang Yang was very emotional, but that was just emotion, because nearly 10,000 members of the Wei royal family had been beheaded and killed the moment the game started.
Zhongdu County has completely turned into a paradise for foreign races.
This can be seen from the experience of another main player of the national team whose sphere of influence is close to the royal capital. He has been removed from the Potential Dragon Competition List.
It's only been a few days.
