On the back mountainside of Mountain Xilang, there were several large stone houses. They were the original Dark Moon's mining office, including the miners' residential area at the foot of the mountain. All of them were now occupied by bandits.
The map showed that the location of the mining office was the only way to enter the main pit. Due to the presence of Higher Demon, Chen Rui didn't dare to ride the wyvern straight to the entrance of the main pit. He carefully chose a remote corner to land and instructed Dodo and Mengda to hide. Then, he changed into a cloak and carefully sneaked away.
The dark clouds in the sky tonight were thick, and the brilliance of the two moons seemed a lot dimmer. Chen Rui activated < Analytical Eyes > and converged his breath along the way. He gradually approached the flashing residential area at the foot of the mountain. There were four guards at the gate and there were noises coming from inside.
< Analytical Eyes > showed that the four guards at the gate were E and F level. With Chen Rui's strength and speed, plus the cover of the night, he bypassed the guards without alerting them.
The bandits inside didn't expect that someone would dare to approach here. They were drinking and chatting.
"That mining officer really came. I heard that he is a powerless human. What a joke!"
"Don't underestimate that human. He seems to know poison. He is Aldas' apprentice. You can't mess with that master."
"Just shoot him from a distance. Don't give him a chance to use poison. He is dead anyway! By the way, this time there seems to be an exquisite beauty, hehe … "
"That's the daughter of the empire's first general. She is now a Higher Demon. With your little strength, she can easily break your penis with a gentle kick!"
As soon as this was said, there was a burst of laughter.
"So what if he is a Higher Demon? Our deputy leader, Sir Barnacle, is at the peak of Higher Demon. However, Sir Barnacle thinks that this place is too boring, so he went to Town Leia to have fun with sir leader. It's just that Sir Culia is unlucky. Sir Barnacle is about to chase him back to accompany us. Haha! "
"Damn, who wants to stay in this cold and poor place? I can't even see a woman. It's much more comfortable to go back to the estate! Let's just kill all those damn miners, then we don't have to suffer like this! "A centaur took a big gulp of wine and said with dissatisfaction.
The dark elf beside him shook his head, "You drank too much again. Didn't our leader say it before? It's not the right time yet. It's better to maintain the current situation. Don't attract more attention from Anyue City. When the time is right, we can kill as many people as we want! "
"That's true, but I don't know how long I have to wait …" The centaur looked at the stone house on the mountainside in awe, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes. "Sir Yagus is still comfortable. With Sir Sully's company, I naturally don't want to go to Town Leia."
"Who said I don't want to go? The key is that Madam Sully is stronger than Sir Yagus. They are both in the early stage of Higher Demon, but Madam Sully is stronger than Sir Yagus. Otherwise, that Sir would have gone to Town Leia to have fun …"
There was another burst of laughter that was deliberately suppressed.
These words fell into the ears of Chen Rui, who was eavesdropping at the side, and he quickly thought about it. The conversation of these thieves revealed a lot of information.
First, there should be a stronghold of the Red Devils in Town Leia at the border of the Shadow Empire. The leader and main force should be there.
Second, the names of the four Higher Demons of the bandits in the mine were: Barnacle, Culia, Sully and Yagus. Barnacle had already gone to Town Leia. Culia went earlier, but he should be back soon. Sully and Yagus were both in the early stage of Higher Demon. They had an ambiguous relationship, and they were currently staying behind.
Third, as expected, the bandits were going to attack him, the new mining officer.
Fourth, the Red Devils had a premeditated plan to keep the miners alive and not kill them.
These were just the information on the surface. Chen Rui heard more information. Athena and he came to the mine for less than half a day, and the bandits already knew. Obviously, there was a spy among the miners; Athena had just advanced to Higher Demon, and it was an impromptu decision to follow him to Mountain Xilang. The bandits actually knew her strength immediately. It showed that the Dark Moon and the bandits must have an additional magic communication tower. Combined with some information from Jía and Royce, it could basically be confirmed that the Red Spirit Estate was secretly manipulating these bandits. It was even likely that it was the military power of the Red Spirit.
The miners' residential area was very large. It was more than enough for more than two hundred bandits to live in. Since he was not familiar with the terrain and there were two Higher Demons on the hillside, Chen Rui didn't intend to alert them. His biggest purpose for coming here today was the waste ores room in the main pit.
Chen Rui thought for a while and quietly retreated back to Mengda. He ordered in his consciousness. Mengda flapped its wings and flew up. It made a big circle, avoided the mining office where the two Higher Demons lived, and landed on the top of the main pit from the rear.
The top of the mountain was two hundred meters high from the entrance of the main pit below. Even if Chen Rui had an extraordinary physique now, he would be seriously injured if he jumped down like this even if he didn't die. There were several guards below, so he couldn't land directly with the wyvern.
If there was a magic like "Feather Fall", he could land lightly. Unfortunately, Chen Rui wasn't a magician, but he had an assistant that could stretch and transform at will. This guy had the ability to wrap his whole body around the skeleton of a giant dragon. It was naturally a piece of cake for him to act as a mobile rope.
The main pit was a flat concave entrance. In front of it was the track of the mining cable car, but it had been abandoned for a long time. There were still guards on the top of the mountain, but they were all around a fire.
Chen Rui landed silently. Dodo also returned to an onion head and landed on his shoulder. Chen Rui looked back at the guards who were warming themselves. Sure enough, no one could detect him. He secretly thought in his heart and sneaked toward the entrance of the main pit.
The main pit was right in front. It was a huge entrance. There was a faint light from the magic lamp stone inside. At that moment, a sense of crisis suddenly surged in Chen Rui's heart. His hair stood up as if he was being stared at by something terrifying. Dodo's reaction was faster. He bounced up from his master's shoulder and "ran" away, but he was caught by Chen Rui. This onion head that bullied the weak and feared the strong was quite good at escaping.
There was a roar in front. At the same time, a cluster of light rapidly expanded in front of them and whistled toward them. Chen Rui had now completely absorbed the potion of Eternal Speed, and his speed had reached a considerable level. With a sudden bounce, he dodged the ball of light in front of him. This ball of light was something like a fireball, and it contained a terrifying power. When it hit the ground, it actually exploded. It was a bit like the Flame Demon Reka's Flame Explosion, but it was much more powerful. The solid cable car rails on the ground were affected by this power, and actually quickly melted and deformed.
"Damn it!" Chen Rui calculated everything, but he didn't expect that there was such a terrifying demonic beast guarding at the entrance of the main pit. Judging from the power of the cluster of light, it should have the strength of Higher Demon. The worst thing was that it had alerted the guards. Those Demons who were warming themselves by the fire rushed toward this side.
"Dodo, you go and deal with it. I'll help you right away. If you dare to run away, don't even think about eating barbecue anymore!" As Chen Rui said that, he unjustly threw the onionhead to the approximate position of the demonic beast, and he faced the few Demons by himself.
Chen Rui knew that it was a critical moment, so he was merciless. In the blink of an eye, the few guards were all killed, but Dodo's cry for help also came over. Chen Rui hurried forward. Under the hazy moonlight, it was just a buffalo-sized demonic beast that was biting Dodo.
It was a huge canine with a ferocious appearance and a dark body. It actually had 3 heads. The terrifying fireball just now was spat out from its mouth.
< Analytical Eyes > showed: Race: Cerberus. Comprehensive Strength Assessment: D
Cerberus! Chen Rui had heard of this terrifying demonic beast before. It was extremely powerful, and its sharp teeth and claws were enough to tear steel. Some mutated species could also launch long-range attacks of ice or fire. Obviously, this was a mutated Cerberus.
"Enemy! Tear! Die! " Through the skill of < Analytical Eyes >, he could hear the meaning of this guy's roar. It was just repeating these few words, and its consciousness was filled with killing and violence. Trying to communicate with it was useless.
Dodo was also a Higher Demon. Although he once pretended to be a "ghost dragon" to abuse others, he was still a slime of the lowest level after all. He could still show off Sir Dodo's demeanor if he encountered a weak one. Now that he encountered such a powerful demonic beast with terrifying combat talent, how would Sir Dodo dare to risk his life?
Although he recovered after being torn into pieces by the Cerberus, Dodo was still too scared to fight back, "Master, Dodo doesn't want to barbecue anymore. Come and save Dodo!"
At this time, the people at the foot of the mountain also heard the roar of the Cerberus, and they began to shout. Chen Rui was very anxious, and he had the idea of ending the battle quickly. His palms formed a knife shape, emitting a faint light.
When the Cerberus saw Chen Rui rushing over, one of its heads opened its mouth and spat out a fireball again. Chen Rui hurriedly rolled and barely dodged it. The broken stones of the fireball hit his back, and it was burning in pain. At this time, he was already close to the feet of the Cerberus. Before he attacked, the three hideous heads opened their mouths to bite him.
Chen Rui didn't expect the Cerberus's reaction to be so fast. He quickly dodged. The three heads cooperated and took turns to attack. With Chen Rui's speed, it was actually difficult for him to dodge.
"Dodo! Entangle it! Hurry! " Chen Rui yelled. As he was distracted, a piece of his black robe was torn by the Cerberus's claws. The part that was scratched felt a burning pain.
As the Cerberus was about to pursue, its body suddenly tightened. It was tightly wrapped by something, and it couldn't move for a while. Meanwhile, the black-robed man in front of it had leaped high and struck down from the sky.
The powerful demonic beast instinct of the Cerberus made it feel that the black-robed man's attack was extremely dangerous. It immediately struggled with all its strength and broke the restraint forcefully. At this time, Chen Rui's < Aura Blade > had already slashed down. The Cerberus just broke free from Dodo's entanglement, but it only had time to move sideways. Blood splashed. In a sad cry, one of its heads was chopped off, and it became a two-headed Cerberus.
As Chen Rui was trying to get rid of this annoying demonic beast in one go, he suddenly felt something. He lowered his body, and a sharp weapon broke through the air and brushed past his head.
The sharp weapon spun for half a circle and flew back. Chen Rui was caught off guard. He barely dodged it, and there was a bloody wound on his waist.
The sharp wind fell back into the hands of a male Great Demon. It turned out to be a cross-shaped flying scythe.
Race: Great Demon. Comprehensive Strength Assessment: D.
< Analytical Eyes > prompted the appearance of Higher Demon! And there is more than one!
It must be Sully and Yagus! They came so fast!
