Recently, Kaven's Thought Card! Sad
The huge roar followed by a large amount of dust that rose from the ground, which rose nearly one meter high. However, due to the night, Chen Kai and the others could not see it, but the huge roar echoed throughout the wilderness. Even though Chen Kai was far away, he still felt his ears trembling, and the constant agitation in his eardrum seemed to be hit by a shock wave head-on.
As for those magical lizards that were closer, they were even more unbearable. The three-headed lizards near the rear were directly scared to the ground. Even though the magical soldiers riding on them had already merged with them, they still could not change the characteristics of their animals. The huge vibration made everyone think that it was the power of Xu Fei's spells. Only the old mage knew that it was not, because even if ordinary spells were marked as taboo, they could not change the characteristics of Xu Fei and others' lack of magic power. Because of this reason, the old mage felt that this sound was a bit strange. After all, the magic power of Xu Fei and others was only tens of thousands of points. Even at the cost of vitality, it would not be possible to create such a terrible effect. Perhaps only spells caused by more than one hundred thousand magic power could achieve this effect.
However, because of the night, Chen Kai and the others could not see what happened behind the demonized giant lizards. Moreover, the demonized cavalry and Chen Kai's soldiers were fighting each other anxiously on the entire battlefield. Even if players join, a demonized cavalry can fight against three or four players without any disadvantages. With the assistance of those demonized light armored infantry, it can be said that Chen Kai's veterans were almost completely suppressed on the front battlefield.
Because of this, Chen Kai did not feel the continuous vibration from the ground, nor did he notice that the demonized giant lizards lying on the ground were running hard to avoid anything. Behind these giant lizards, an expanding pit was swallowing the surrounding rocks and soil, and large pieces of land collapsed and fell into the endless abyss. In the distance between the abyss, there was a bridge composed of chains.
The ever-expanding cracks on the ground make a crack sound, but the cracking range of this hole is not large. Although the bottom of the underground abyss is almost impossible to see, it is only a small continuation of the endless abyss underground. The area is only a few hundred square meters long. Of course, this big hole is often called the name of a sinkhole in reality. However, in the game world, or in other words, the big hole that appears in front of you now is not a naturally formed pit, but because Xu Fei's magic pierces penetrate the shallow rocks of the formation, causing the rock strata covered on the abyss to completely collapse.
Because of this reason, the suddenly collapsed rock formed a huge echo, causing a huge roar. Of course, the more pitiful one was the closest demonized lizard. Although they moved fast enough, they were still too slower than the ground collapse. The seven demonized lizards, except for the one killed by Xu Fei's spell, the remaining six demonized lizards were swallowed by the expanding sinkholes in the night.
The expanded sinkhole is not completely connected to the underground abyss. After all, there are not many places where Chen Kai's territory is connected to the underground abyss, but just a small piece of the deep underground abyss spread out. Although he walked down the cliffs on both sides and then continued to move in a certain direction, you can see the iron chain bridge built by Fei Yun and his team to pass through the abyss, but the distance between the two sides is still very far.
In fact, what devoured the demonized earth lizards was the slope leading to the underground abyss expanded by the collapsed rocks. This slope was very steep and the expansion speed was very fast because it connected the underground abyss. By the time Chen Kai and the others discovered it, the sinkhole was about to expand to their feet. The collapsed rocks fell directly into the underground abyss with unprepared demonized cavalry. Even if their war horses continued to struggle, it would be useless. In the end, they could only fall as the rock collapsed.
Fortunately, when the crack spreading from the underground abyss reached Chen Kai and the others, there was only a crack of less than half a meter wide. But behind this shrinking crack, there was an endless crack of hundreds of demonized cavalry and soldiers that were extremely engulfed. No one knew where the crack of the underground that was born from Xu Fei's spell led. But Chen Kai was sure that a huge hole appeared in his territory, and it was also a huge sinkhole that could not be covered with magic.
However, the only good news for Chen Kai is that because of this big pit, there was no magical lizard left, and even the magical cavalry was swallowed up. Although the remaining magical cavalry were still fierce, they were constantly destroyed under the attacks of Chen Kai and others. When the last magical cavalry was cut to death by Chen Kai with a sword, everyone could completely see how huge this huge sinkhole was.
When the bright moonlight shone down from the sky, no one could see how deep the sudden sinkhole was. The collapsed rocks did not hear any echoes. As for the demonized cavalry that fell, there was even less noise.
"How did this pit come from?" Chen Kai looked at the cracks spreading under his feet and felt speechless. He felt like he was collapsed at the sudden appearance of this big hole in his territory. If such a big hole appeared under his town, his city would probably disappear from the ground in an instant. Fortunately, although this big pit was large, it was still outrageous enough to swallow the entire city. The most important thing was that Chen Kai also believed that those architectural wizards belonging to Hans Court had definitely surveyed the underground structure of the city, and it was basically impossible for large cracks to appear.
"Who knows! It may be that Brother Fei blasted it out!" Wang Xuewen was stained with green monster blood. He carefully threw a rock into the crack. He heard a few light slaps and continued to fall, and then disappeared into the endless darkness. Then he threw a rock with a secret magic light attached to it, and after falling hundreds of meters, he was ruthlessly swallowed by the darkness.
"I don't think so! If Xu Fei could create such a terrifying cave, then the mages on the entire continent would probably worship him, the sixth-level mage!" Chen Kai looked at the disappeared rock with a secret magic light attached to it and shrank. If he fell down such a deep cave himself, the best ending would be to die.
"Yes! It's probably Brother Fei who blasted through the rocks on the surface, and the underground abyss was just below. Then the broken rocks could not bear the weight above and collapsed!" Wang Xuewen looked for a long time and said the answer that was closest to the facts. Of course, no one knows why there is such an endless abyss under this strata.
"By the way! Where did that guy Guan Lao Er go?" When Chen Kai began to gather the troops again, he remembered that his cavalry had been taken away by Guan Yu. More than 3,000 cavalry did not dare to attack the cavalry led by Baron Ankniru. Although Chen Kai felt a little ashamed, there was no way. After all, he could not let the cavalry who had transferred horse thieves lose their lives for no reason. In fact, if Chen Kai chose, he would choose to run away like Guan Yu, rather than continue fighting. After all, for the entire town of Berkner, it is impossible to make up for the loss of too many soldiers in a battle. For Chen Kai's territory, although there are many civilians, not many who can act as soldiers. Most importantly, most soldiers have to engage in survival activities, that is, to act as farmers.
However, compared with Chen Kai's veterans, most of the new soldiers who Chen Kai commanded now are more like a group of farmers. After all, they were engaged in agricultural production. Chen Kai's veterans had been engaged in agricultural production for a long time. The losses of the hundreds of people in Chen Kai are enough for him to feel pain. Whether it is the expense of pensions or other aspects, they are more than the benefits of this battle. It can be said that it is a loss-making transaction. If Guan Yu's cavalry loses a lot, Chen Kai will cry.
"It seems that he ran towards the walls of Berkner Town with those tails! I guess he wanted to use the defense facilities of the city wall to cause the demonized cavalry to suffer losses!" Wang Xuewen looked at the direction. After all, he was a spellcaster and could focus on other aspects when fighting.
"Huh?" Chen Kai frowned after hearing Wang Xuewen's words. Then he heard a loud dragon sound from the sky, and at the same time, a sound of wings flapping above his head. When Chen Kai raised his head, he saw Donnie waving his huge wings, quickly falling from the air, and then threw a lead tube containing a letter paper towards Chen Kai.
Seeing Chen Kai received the lead cylinder, Donny swung his dragon tail and flew back towards Berkner Town. Chen Kai lowered his head and looked at the lead cylinder containing the letter paper in his hand. There were many patterns on the lead cylinder. Of course, the most important thing was the four Chinese characters in the middle of the pattern - FedEx. Obviously, this lead cylinder came from Fei Yun's spoof product. Of course, Chen Kai didn't feel anything about this. After all, compared with Fei Yun's homemade FedEx, the complex postal system in the game is something that players love and hate. Because it is a pure virtual game, there is no letter system in the game. Players cannot express items through simple methods. Postal items can only be carried by the players themselves, or ask the postal service in the city to be in the city.
However, it is extremely difficult to mail across cities. After all, not every postman has the courage to cross the chaotic environment between cities. Most merchants have to send letters farther away. In addition to relying on the help of travelers, they can only rely on carrying them in the mercenary group mission. Whether it is postman or mercenaries, the speed of mailing letters can only be described as cheating. Even if it is a letter from the same town, it will be calculated at least three days from the time the letter is sent to the recipient receives the letter. Like Chen Kai, Su Wan, like Chen Kai, sent letters in the city, received them more than ten kilometers away in less than ten minutes, which is almost a express delivery. Of course, only dragon knights like Chen Kai and others can be extravagant. Others not only have no chance or this method.
"It seems that Guan Lao Er has really led Baron Ankneru to the edge of the city! Unfortunately, that guy was not fooled. He just approached the attack range of the city's weapons on the city wall and turned around and left!" Chen Kai took apart the letter paper, which was the battle report outside the town of Berkner that Chen Yi had just sent by Donny.
"Yes! If that Baron Ankneru was so easily deceived, there wouldn't be so many people outside Garros Town would be cheated by him!" Wang Xuewen took the battle report from Chen Kai. Now that Xu Fei is not here, he temporarily acted as Chen Kai's adviser.
"By the way, how about Xu Fei now?" Chen Kai suddenly thought of Xu Fei. This time, Xu Fei was in trouble again. Although the spell was successful, Xu Fei himself was directly turned into ashes by the power of the spell.
"I'm depressed when I go offline! I don't know what went wrong this time. I've seen his magic array diagram, so there should be no problem! But now he not only died by himself, but also took the lives of the other five people!" Although Wang Xuewen is not as good as Xu Fei in his attainments in the magic array, he is still very clear about Xu Fei's three-dimensional magic array, because he also assisted the other party in making the magic array.
"Uh! How about that magic array?" Chen Kai suddenly thought of the magic array he had lent Chen Kai for more than 300,000 gold coins. However, when he saw the magic array, his eyes twitched directly. Because the magic array had been completely distorted due to magic, the original mitril-constructed magic array structure turned into something that could not be seen at all.
"Oh! There are 300,000 yuan left!!" Wang Xuewen looked at the twisted magic circle on the ground and was stunned. Obviously, the rampant magic power finally destroyed the entire magic circle. Not to mention the reused use of the entire magic circle. Even if it was to extract the mitral silver in it, it became a very difficult thing.
"Look at what other materials can be collected!" Chen Kai sighed as he looked at the magic circle on the ground and turned into a ball of magic circles.
"Try it! But boss, don't have too much hope. This time you will definitely lose money!" Wang Xuewen gently extended his wand to the magic circle, of course not directly contacting. Because there is a lot of magic power in the twisted magic circle. If you contact directly, it is estimated that the next one to become a waste product will be Wang Xuewen's own body.
The slender wand gently touched a corner of the magic circle, and then Wang Xuewen retreated quickly, but Chen Kai still saw a scattered arcane energy running out of the twisted magic circle instantly. If Wang Xuewen had not retreated fast enough, this arcane lightning would probably have treated his body as barbecue. He went straight to a grilled outside and tender inside.
"It seems to take some time!" Wang Xuewen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Chen Kai. Although it was just a contact, Wang Xuewen still found that the magic array contained terrifying magic power. As for how powerful that magic energy was, Fei Yun was also very clear, because Fei Yun felt the horror of death in that arcane energy.
"Well! I think so too!" Chen Kai looked at the arcane energy flying away while rubbing his shoulders. Although he only wiped his shoulders, a very clearly visible trace was still wiped out on the shoulder armor. If he hit it head-on, Chen Kai would probably be directly punched into a hole or turned into a burnt corpse by the arcane energy.
"Then I'll leave this thing to you!" Seeing Wang Xuewen continue to use his wand to guide the magic power in the twisted magic array, Chen Kai seemed to see a new arcane energy shot towards him. He chose to stay away very wisely. Unfortunately, before he could walk a few meters, an arcane energy emitting lightning breath hit him directly from behind, directly charring his whole body. Poor Chen Kai did not die in the hands of the demonized cavalry, but was almost electrocuted by the magic power that broke out from the magic items created by his own people.
"Boss! Are you okay?" This was the sound Chen Kai heard after being corroded for a few seconds. When he got up from the ground, he finally recovered a little of his consciousness when he saw the anxious eyes of others. However, he wanted to speak, but because his tongue was paralyzed, he couldn't even say a complete word.
"It seems that it should be fine for the time being!" Although Chen Kai didn't say anything, everyone knew that Chen Kai was still alive when he looked at his spinning eyes, so he breathed a sigh of relief. After carrying Chen Kai to a safe place, everyone wisely chose to stay away from the position of the twisted magic array at least twenty meters. Fortunately, the storm-traveled magic powers that were guided were not tracking. Otherwise, Wang Xuewen stayed inside would definitely be the first to become a corpse.
When Wang Xuewen tried hard to guide the remaining magic power in the magic circle, Chen Kai, who slowly recovered from the paralysis, was also trying to control his body, and at the same time gathering troops to prepare to go home. Although the battle for clearing this time was not thorough enough, most people are now very tired, especially those recruits. After a bloody battle, most of the recruits would probably have nightmares when they sleep. Chen Kai's only hope was that they could be a little stronger so that they would not cause mental breakdown because of this battle.
If this reason causes these soldiers to be unable to become qualified soldiers, or even become dangerous in Chen Kai's territory that may detonate at any time, then it is definitely the most unlucky thing for Chen Kai. Of course, Chen Kai must be careful of Baron Ankneru. After all, he chased Guan Yu and rushed around Berkner Town, but did not approach the city wall, and eventually disappeared into the night outside the city wall. No one knows where the demonized baron ran, so in Su Wan's letter, she reminded Chen Kai to be careful of Baron Ankneru's attack. Even if the number of the opponent is only one-tenth of Chen Kai, Chen Kai, who has an army of more than 8,000, may not completely ignore Baron Ankneru's threat. If he leads a large group of new recruits, if he encounters the collapse of the recruits, he may be chased by the other party to suffer.
In order to avoid the ending of becoming a miserable end, Chen Kai sent nearly a hundred players to explore the way forward in the scout. At the same time, all teams were in a contraction state and could withstand the frontal impact of the cavalry at any time. The most important thing was that a large amount of equipment was seized from the killed demonized cavalry and soldiers. After Chen Yi's brief purification, he equipped the best among the new recruits again, allowing Chen Kai to have more than 100 light armored spearmen as his troops. (To be continued...)
