Lord God: Times have changed

Chapter 387 Fourth Floor

The semi-immortal-level monster in charge of the fourth floor is named 'Chengyue'.

Originally, he was not a subordinate of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but an old nobleman in the demon world. It was only after the Heavenly Demon Emperor rose up, achieved the realm of immortals, and unified the demon world that he took refuge in the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

There are two other half-immortal monsters like him.

Counting Huli, there are a total of eight half-immortal level monsters under the Heavenly Demon Emperor's subordinates, seven of them were imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, and three of them surrendered after the Heavenly Demon Emperor rose up.

But among all the semi-immortal monsters, Cheng Yue has the worst popularity.

Because his family is too powerful and too rich.

When the old emperor fell and the new emperor ascended the throne, a group of courtiers of the new emperor divided up the cake belonging to the old forces. Even if the old forces surrendered, at most a small amount would be left for them.

Who made them have poor eyesight and didn't stand up to the right person at the beginning?
This is the so-called emperor and courtiers.

But because Cheng Yue surrendered, and because his family was too powerful, even the new emperor didn't dare to move lightly, the cake belonging to his family's power was not taken away by the new emperor's subordinates.

It immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of others.

Under the entanglement of interests, Cheng Yue became the most unpopular demigod.

According to the normal plot direction, the next step should be the confrontation between the old and new nobles. The old nobles gradually weakened and gradually handed over the cake of interest in their hands to the new nobles.

However, the Heavenly Demon Emperor did not follow the normal plot, but chose to gather troops to attack the human world.

To some extent, this is also a way to resolve the contradiction between old and new nobles.

Once the war broke out, no matter the old or new aristocrats, they would focus on the war, so as to save themselves from fighting to the death.And if the war achieves great results, I am afraid that no one will stare at the little cake in the demon world.

Although the main purpose of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's attack on the human world was to obtain immortal-level techniques and skills, he also had the idea of ​​solving the internal contradictions between the old and new nobles.

It's just the result of the war, not the result of the imagination of the Heavenly Demon Emperor at all.

It's okay if you can't beat it, but you didn't even run away, all of them were bewitched by the ancient method of confusing gods, and they were introduced into the demon lock tower.

Now it's all right, don't talk about internal and external conflicts, and don't think about any conflicts of interest, it's good if you can survive.

However, these contradictions and conflicts still exist after all, so when the Heavenly Demon Emperor planned the layout and needed a half-immortal monster to guard the fourth floor, the other six half-immortals all recommended Cheng Yue.

Including those two half-immortals who, like Cheng Yue, surrendered later.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yue could not help but sigh.

If this were to be a battle between two forces in the demon world, he would have surrendered long ago after being targeted in this way.

But at this moment, it was a battle between the demon world and the human race, and he had already been imprisoned in the demon lock tower. Even if he surrendered, it was impossible for the human race to release himself from the demon lock tower.

Therefore, he wanted to surrender, but there was no place for him to surrender.

He could only continue to work under the hands of the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

"I hope that the people sent by the human race are not those Shushan elders..."

Cheng Yue prayed in his heart.

The reason why the Heavenly Demon Emperor set up this road on the fourth floor was because he was worried that Shushan would send the most powerful sect master and several elders.

After all, these monster clans don't know the Shushan faction's rule that disciples are not allowed to enter the demon lock tower, let alone the extremely dangerous situation of the Shushan faction at the moment. Two elders are seriously injured. tower.

Reaching the semi-immortal level, it is generally not easy to get injured, but it is naturally far more difficult than ordinary disciples to get better after being injured.

It would take at least ten days for the two seriously injured elders to turn from serious injuries to minor injuries.

However, the head of Shushan and the other two elders suppressed the Suoyao Pagoda, so they couldn't leave at all.

Once they leave the big formation and the suppressing power weakens, the Sky Demon Emperor can completely rush out of the Cable Demon Tower.

There is no way, the Heavenly Demon Emperor is too strong.

Therefore, the scene imagined by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, where the head of Shushan led a few elders and entered the Demon Locking Tower with various powerful artifacts, was simply impossible to realize.

But there is one thing to say, although the eyes of the two sides are not equal, and the information they understand is different, the layout of the Sky Demon Emperor at this moment still seems a bit out of wisdom.

Regardless of whether the Shushan faction sent the head elders or a few ordinary disciples, their demon clan was imprisoned in the demon lock tower, and they were still weak existences after all.

If you are in a weak position and facing a strong enemy, the best way is to shrink back. Everyone gathers together and concentrates on dealing with the strong enemy.

However, the Heavenly Demon Emperor dispatched his subordinates, and even divided them into several waves to guard each level.

Seemingly wise, but in fact it is downright wise.

This layout is completely out of place.

However, considering the tasks of the four reincarnations, this layout suddenly became reasonable.

If the Heavenly Demon Emperor hadn't laid it out like this, the reincarnators would have been able to travel from the tenth floor to the first floor smoothly.

The main line and the advanced main line have all been completed without any difficulty.

Not to mention the main line, the difficulty lies in how to get in.

But the advanced main line must be more difficult than the main line.

From this point of view, it seems normal for the Sky Demon Emperor to have such a plan to lower his intelligence.

Cheng Yue himself led several big monsters to guard the passageway leading to the third floor.

It should be explained here that even the passage is actually integrated with the entire labyrinth. When the maze changes every day, the position of the passage will also change accordingly.

So it is impossible to remember the location of the passage and then quickly pass through the maze.

That is to say, the time is short now. If Zhou Ming and the others arrived at the fourth floor exactly one day later, then Cheng Yue and other monsters would have to find a new passage to stop Zhou Ming and the others.

After several hours of guarding at the entrance of the passage, a big demon suddenly said: "Something is wrong!"

Cheng Yue opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

The big monster said: "Master Chengyue, the monsters we sent out are patrolling around, according to their speed, there should be ten monsters passing the passage every quarter of an hour.

But in the last quarter of an hour, only seven monsters passed by, half of them were lost all of a sudden, something is really wrong! "

The other big monsters nodded their heads one after another upon hearing the words, expressing that this was indeed the case.

In this way, it becomes more and more embarrassing.

Because he was full of resentment, he had never observed such a thing.

Another big demon said: "Master Chengyue, this change must be caused by the monks sent by the human race. In order to avoid too much loss for our demon clan, please Master Chengyue summon all the demons and gather here."

"Okay, it should."

Cheng Yue felt even more resentful, thinking that a group of monsters dare to order me?

When you are in a bad mood, nothing is pleasing to your eyes.These two big monsters spoke very politely, but Cheng Yue felt that they were committing the following offense and ordering himself.

But at this moment, he must also do what the two great demons said.

Because what they say is true.

In the Demon Locking Tower, the suppressive force is so strong that ordinary monsters can only perceive about one meter around their bodies, but these big monsters are slightly more powerful and can perceive tens of meters.

Half-immortal-level monsters are even more powerful, and can basically sense half-story towers.

But it's only horizontal, because the materials used between the layers of the Demon Locking Tower are more special.

At the half-immortal level, it is still impossible to sense the upper layer through these materials.

Only when you reach the level of a true immortal can you see through these layers and see the situation of sensing higher layers.But under the weakening of layers, this induction is very vague.

That's why the Sky Demon Emperor couldn't tell who came to the Demon Locking Tower.

Although Cheng Yue was squeezed out, his family was powerful and rich, so his strength was among the eight and a half immortals, so he ranked in the top three.

His spiritual power can cover two-thirds of the entire fourth floor, directly coming out through the body, connecting every monster within the coverage area.

At this moment, Cheng Yue frowned slightly.

Because in addition to sensing monsters, he also sensed five human races.

Presumably, it was the five human races that were sent in.

This is not good, it seems that the five human races have been within their sensing range for a while, but because they have not released their spiritual power sensing, they don't know it at all.

If this spread, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.

Cheng Yue glanced at the big monsters, thinking that luckily they couldn't sense it, and said, "All the monsters have been notified... But why didn't I sense the existence of the human race? Could it be such a coincidence that they happened to be hiding in my Out of sensing range?"

A big demon said: "It must be that those human races caught some little monsters. These little monsters are not strict and leaked information about Master Chengyue."

After all, Cheng Yue is an old-fashioned force, and there are many big monsters under him. Of course, it is impossible to assign tasks this time to all the big monsters under his hands. The person who is speaking at this moment is Cheng Yue's subordinate.

He didn't know that Cheng Yue was negligent, he was just echoing his boss.

Cheng Yue laughed in his heart, his negligence was now covered up.

Not to mention the intrigue on one side of the monster race, on the other side, the five human races moved forward slowly.

"Have you felt it?" Wei Jing asked.

Jade Carving Dragon nodded: "Well, I can feel it. With such a powerful sense of spiritual power, I am afraid that he is the only half-celestial monster on this fourth floor."

Ku Rong said: "So, we have already been discovered by him? Then, I'm afraid it will be surrounded by monsters?"

Lan Zhi said: "Not necessarily, maybe a group of monsters gathered in one place, waiting for us to come to the door. After all, they don't know that we can walk by water and don't need to go through the tunnel."

As they spoke, Zhou Ming directly released his mental power to sweep over the entire floor, and immediately understood the current situation.

"Those monsters started to gather and wanted to go to the mechanism passage. The only half-immortal monster on the fourth floor was also there, and it seemed that they wanted to gather strength to deal with us."

Ku Rong suddenly showed a smile, and teased: "If we go to the next floor through the waterway, wouldn't we release their pigeons and make them wait in vain?"

This is a joke, because they must weaken the power of the Yaozu, otherwise it will be difficult to fight on the second floor.

Zhou Mingdao: "Everyone, our goal in this battle is not just to eliminate them, not to show weakness in this battle. Therefore, we must think about how to fight this battle with the attitude of the weak."

Wait for them to come together and attack with force.

That is the confident style of play that belongs to the strong.

But Zhou Ming and the others wanted to pretend to be the weak, so they naturally used tricks to show the wisdom of the weak.

"Next, the five of us will separate here, use the water channel to bypass the enemy, and then start to eliminate the little monsters one by one to show weakness."

Zhou Ming explained his strategy, and the others had no opinion.

The five of them separated immediately.

It takes a day for the maze on the fourth floor to change. Ordinary little monsters are affected by the suppression and can only sense one meter around their body. Therefore, a large number of people are required to patrol around to figure out the layout of the entire maze.

However, Zhou Ming and the others were not affected. Their mental power directly swept across the entire floor, and with the help of the water channel, they were distributed in five directions, stuck at the five maze gates, and waited for those little monsters to come.

Although it is said to be weak, they can't really pretend to be too weak.

Because people who are too weak, it is impossible for Shushan to send them into the demon lock tower.

That is to die.

In short, we must maintain a state of balance between strength and weakness, and show those monsters.

Cheng Yue frowned at the organ passageway.

He had neglected his duty before, but now he has started to get serious, constantly exploring the surroundings with spiritual power.

"I noticed where the five human races are... They didn't know how to reach the gates of the maze quickly, waited for the monsters to come, and then killed them in one fell swoop."

Several big demons under the Sky Demon Emperor heard the words and immediately asked: "Master Cheng Yue, how strong are the five human races?"

They are the loyal subordinates of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, so they naturally want to complete the test order issued by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, and want to find out the specific strength of those human races.

It's just that in a hurry, the tone is more like an order.

Cheng Yue was upset, but there was nothing he could do. He could only say: "These guys are cunning, they only deal with little monsters, they kill them instantly, and they don't know what their strength is at all."

Although those little monsters were the elite survivors, under the suppression of the demon lock tower and the solution of the demon water, their strength was not as good as the ordinary monsters from the outside world, so it was normal for them to be instantly killed.

Naturally, in this way, the strength of the human race cannot be seen.

"However..." Cheng Yue said: "These human races occupy a great advantage in the Demon Locking Tower, but they still choose to use means to weaken our strength and number. Presumably, the strength is not too strong .”

The monsters nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

"It's not an option to be strangled by them like this. I will notify the demons to change direction."

When Cheng Yue is serious, he is still very conscientious.

But as he said just now, the human race has too much advantage in the Demon Locking Tower. With his semi-immortal cultivation base, he can only cover most of the floor, while the five human races can cover the entire floor.

He just informed the demons to change their route.

On the other side, the five human races also changed their positions and were still stuck in the maze level.

After all, although the maze is ever-changing, there is only one exit or entrance, and there are two or three passages leading to the exit or entrance, which are already relatively loose mazes.

So Zhou Ming and the others were able to block the monsters casually, so that these monsters could not gather together.

Cheng Yue frowned again, and sent a voice transmission to all the demons, telling them not to come, but to gather in one place first, and at the same time told the situation to the big demons in front of him, and then said: "I will let those little demons gather first, and then you Send out one from each to support, and when the two sides meet, they can stop them from killing the group of monsters. Who is willing to go?"

All the big demons stood up immediately, only two or three were still sitting, but they were all subordinates of the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

It's not that they are unfaithful, but because they are responsible for passing on the news and have to guard this channel.

Cheng Yue glanced at them, didn't say anything, and asked the big monsters to stop those human races in groups of two.
