Athena said angrily: "It's disgusting! Gade, we must find a way to destroy those thieves!"
"Miss, don't be impulsive!" Gade shook his head: "There are more than two hundred thieves in Xilang Mountain, and the leader is a big devil named Banneker, who is one of the two deputy heads of the Red Devil Thieves Group. , the peak high-ranking demon, and there are three other high-ranking demons under him, who are powerful, and we are not opponents at all. Besides, this is only a small part of the strength of the Red Demon Thieves Group! It is said that the strength of the head of the Thieves Group is unfathomable, and it is likely It has surpassed the level of high-level demons. Miss, listen to my advice and return to Dark Moon City quickly, Xilang Mountain is too dangerous."
"No, I want to complete the task assigned by the eldest princess, otherwise I will never go back!" Athena's attitude was very firm. In fact, she asked Xi Ya for this trip.
After hearing about the strength of the Red Devil Thieves Group, Chen Rui fell into deep thought: The strength of this Thieves Group is quite terrifying. Now there are four high-level demons entrenched in Xilang Mountain. , nor is it an opponent.
Athena is currently in the middle of the high-level, Chen Rui is probably equivalent to the early-level of the high-level, Diu Diu's strength is D-level, a high-level demon, the specific level is unknown, but there is no special attack method, and he can only resist with the immortal body.
Three high-levels versus four high-levels, it seems that it is only slightly inferior, but in fact it cannot be counted like this. Banneker is already at the pinnacle of the high level, and he can defeat everyone on Chen Rui's side by himself, so he is absolutely invincible.
However, the biggest purpose of Chen Rui's trip was not to deal with the thieves, but the waste mines accumulated for hundreds of years, that is, a huge amount of aura. In any case, let's explore the situation first.
At this time, a dark elf walked in, it was Connor, the vice-captain who was going to get food, and he brought two bowls of lala potato-like food, a big cracker and some fruits.
Athena frowned and said, "Do you usually eat this?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Athena," Gade showed an embarrassed look, "Nowadays, the conditions are getting more and more difficult. This is already the best food here. Many miners only eat one meal a day."
Connor said, "Those thieves controlled the nearby water sources and prey. If it wasn't for the captain's arrangement and leadership, we would have starved to death, even if we hadn't been killed."
Only then did Athena and Chen Rui understand why everyone looked weak. It turned out that they couldn't even guarantee food and clothing.
"You misunderstood, Gade." Athena stood up and bowed slightly to Gade, "I never thought you would stick to this kind of place for four years. I should pay tribute to you."
Gade hurriedly got up to return the gift, Chen Rui took out all the remaining prey on the road from the space bracelet, and said: "Gade, you ask someone to clean up these prey, and then make a few biggest pots, and you will kill everyone later." Call Yuan, let's have some soup together."
Gade showed a look of surprise, and quickly asked Connor to take a few prey down to collect them, and finally looked at Chen Rui with a little more affection.
Soon, the fire was lit, and a few huge iron pots were set up. Chen Rui started to stew the soup by himself, and added some seasonings. The climate of Xilang Mountain is cold, and the steaming cauldron and the long-lost smell of meat make all the nearby demons salivate. If they were not intimidated by Gade's prestige, they would have come up to snatch it long ago. Connor gathered almost all the miners. There were about 400 to 500 people. Most of them were small lemurs and goblins, and a few were dark elves and horned devils. Almost everyone looked at the new miner with great expectations. Officer... the pots next to it.
Before distributing the broth, Chen Rui started the first intensive lecture of the mining officer.
"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Rui. I was originally the secretary of His Royal Highness the Princess. I was recently recommended by the financial officer Joseph to become a mining officer." You may have heard that I have another identity, that is, I am the only apprentice of Master Ardas. Yes, I am a weak human being, but I have already obtained the master's true teaching of poison, for example... "
"Can you give me your pickaxe?" Chen Rui came to the nearest dark goblin. The goblin didn't expect humans to find him, and subconsciously held the pickaxe tightly and dared not let it go.
Chen Rui was too lazy to be polite, grabbed it, held it up high, and waved it casually, the hard pickaxe began to decay rapidly, scattered like rotten wood.
"This is one of the dozens of poison techniques taught by the master." Chen Rui showed a vicious expression while pulling a tiger skin as a banner, "If an enemy falls into my hands, I would be happy to have another poison experiment Taste."
This move obviously frightened many people present, and the noisy scene suddenly fell silent.
Special talents such as pharmacists and tool makers, although their own combat effectiveness is not strong, are also respected by people, especially pharmacists. The deeds of Ardas poisoning the genius pharmacist Sandro in the imperial capital with one fart have spread not only to the Dark Moon or Fallen Angel Empire, but have even spread to the other two empires. Although this human being is only an apprentice, he is the only disciple of the master. Judging from what he said just now, the words of "obtaining the master's true biography" do not seem like bragging. Maybe even Aldas has learned a few of the strongest tricks. become.
Thinking of this, many demons in the front row backed up in unison, especially the goblin who was used as a demonstration, trembling with fright. What Chen Rui wants is this effect. He has been in the devil world for so long, and he has already figured out some ways. This world respects the strong. If you blindly win over them with softness, it will only make these people more difficult to control. You have to use a big stick to subdue them first. They, and then passing a carrot, is the most effective way.
"Don't worry, my poison technique is only aimed at the enemy, and will not cause any harm to our own people." After Chen Rui showed his power, Guo immediately threw out a "carrot", "I know the environment of the mine is harsh, so I will not harm my own people." There are not too many requirements for mining. The only thing is that you must obey my orders during my tenure as a mining officer. As for food, I brought two powerful wyverns. Miss Athena is The number one female swordsman in Dark Moon, and also the number one beast master, we will use Wyvern to get the prey, and try to make everyone drink hot broth every two days, would you like it?"
Everyone shouted: "Yes!"
Chen Rui's heart was sharp, and 100% of his voice was directed at the broth. Although the broth is still not enough, for the miners who have not tasted the meat for a long time, even a sip is already a rare enjoyment. Everyone has a preliminary impression in their minds: Although the new chief is a human being, he has terrible poisonous skills. If he is disobedient, he will suffer a lot; otherwise, he will have meat to eat and soup to drink.
Next came the most popular meal time. As expected, Gade was born in the army. Under his command, the distribution of broth was carried out in an orderly manner.
After the dinner, Chen Rui left the dark goblin alone. The goblin almost collapsed to the ground in fright when he thought of his hesitation when he offered the pickaxe, and also thought of a terrible poison. Chen Rui didn't say anything, but ordered him to come to the top of the opposite hill to help set up the tent. Athena didn't want to live in the stone house that Gade gave up, nor did she want the tent that Chen Rui gave up, so she built a simple tent on the mountainside with some existing materials. There is another cliff behind, so the location chosen by Athena can better protect Chen Rui.
Although Athena's presence on the mountainside made it inconvenient for Chen Rui to move, but people from the bottom of the mountain couldn't get up either. In a sense, it could serve as a cover.
Seeing the two ferocious wyverns easily pulled aside and tied up by the mine officer, I was even more awed by the meticulousness. Fortunately, the mine officer did not use him as a poison experiment, but only asked him about it. Some conditions of the mine.
According to the description of the goblin, the main mine pit is divided into upper and lower layers. After thousands of years of transformation and expansion, it is equivalent to an underground passage extending in all directions. In previous normal times, it was very convenient to be able to transport ore by cable car and elevator.
However, one day, when the miners were digging and surveying deep, they accidentally discovered that there was an underground world below, in which there were various powerful creatures. At that time, the Lord of the Dark Moon was a powerful Demon Emperor. After hearing the news, he rushed to kill a batch of underground creatures that gushed out, and set up an enchantment with several strong men to prevent the creatures from entering and leaving.
Originally, it has been safe and sound for thousands of years. I don't know if the seal has failed. Four hundred years ago, underground creatures broke out and occupied the main vein area of the lower layer of the main mine.
In desperation, the mining officer at that time had no choice but to destroy the large elevator and sent people to guard the entrance. However, the output of ore was greatly reduced in this way, and many people secretly took simple personal rope ladders, risking their lives. Dangerously went to the lower layer to mine, and as a result, many lives were lost. However, thieves were rampant this year, and even some small mines that were finally discovered later were controlled, which was very harmful to the miners. Originally thousands of miners escaped or died, only these few hundred people remained.
Chen Rui asked the goblin to draw a map and gave him the big dry cake. The goblin didn't expect such a good thing, so he left overjoyed. The goblins are skilled hands. Although the map is simple, it is accurate and easy to understand. The location of the main mine is at the back of Xilang Mountain, and the abandoned mine room is somewhere above the main mine.
As the night darkened, Chen Rui started to act. The means of cover was the dragon language inscriptions. He only knows some basic inscriptions now. Pagliu's "rebound" at Lanbo Lake that day belongs to the top inscriptions. It is not only difficult, but also There are various limitations, one of which is that it needs the support of its own essence and blood, and it can only last for a certain period of time. Chen Rui's current level of power is too low, even the basic inscriptions are very reluctant, and it took a long time to engrave the inscriptions alone, but the people at the bottom of the mountain saw it and thought he was dealing with tents or something.
He used three kinds of inscriptions "Concealment", "Mute" and "Mirror Image". With the strength of high-level demons and the experience obtained from in-depth analysis and cracking, the inscription carved with great effort can only last for a few hours after activation. . There is no way, the devil world is also a world of fighting for fathers, and the dragon family is born with the strength of the devil king.
However, Chen Rui didn't need the power to hurt the enemy, he just needed to create a certain illusion. Now, from the outside, the top of the mountain is still a tent with two wyverns. In fact, one of the wyverns is already in the air towards Xilang Mountain. Diu Diu, the servant in the book.
With the help of the map and the magic eye compass, Chen Rui quickly found the location of Xilang Mountain. As expected, Xilang Mountain is the largest mountain in the Xilang Mountain Range. He was really surprised by its huge area.
The flying dragon flew for a while, and finally found that the faintly visible lights below should be the camp of the Red Devil Thieves.
