The Age of Machines

Chapter 889 Seizing the City ([-])
"The Portal of Darkness is as important to monsters as the capital and the main city are to us."

"Important things must be well protected. After all, they are the source of their magic power and military power. Our main city has many people to protect them. Creatures like monsters are too low-level, and their combat power is not good. I don't think they dare to use the Darkness. Let's open the door openly."

They all understand the meaning of lollipop.

It is nothing more than saying that the Dark Portal cannot be in this relatively noticeable area.In a city, the central area is naturally the most eye-catching and the easiest place to gather players.

No matter how hidden this place is, it is also extremely obvious.In such a big city, it's easy for monsters to find a place that players don't pay much attention to.And that kind of place will definitely not be in this central area.

In several cities that Beixi visited before, the Gate of Darkness was established in the center openly.By then the town was in dilapidated condition, and it had lost the appearance of a city at all.Looking at it from a high place, what Beixi saw was only densely packed monsters and the towering gate of darkness.

Maybe she forgot.

Now is the early days of the Dark Chronicle, and when she first came into contact with the Dark Portal and entered the major cities to kill monsters, it was in the middle stage of the Dark Chronicle expansion pack.

Maybe it just came to the human world.

The monster appeared cautious, not daring to build that important portal in a very eye-catching place.Perhaps just established, the Dark Portal is also extremely fragile.

Therefore, Yi gave her a little strength.Let her smash it to pieces with a pair of fists.Now is indeed the time...

Beixi looked at his fist, and his thoughts turned.Then he said to them: "Everyone, search carefully. Some monsters are very smart, and they can also use magic to hide the door of darkness. If you feel a change in the air, you must pay attention."

"Yes." Thousands of people responded.

Lollipop waited for her to finish speaking, then suggested: "Beibei, let's search along the Motuo River. The streets over there are complex and there are many hidden spots. Maybe the monsters built the dark gates in those places."

"it is good."

Beixi naturally would not refuse.If they couldn't search many places, they could only search the whole city up to the root.If the Portal of Darkness is not destroyed, it would be ridiculous to seize the city in one fell swoop.

After cleaning up this time, the next day, the city was still full of monsters.Everything they do is wasted.Beixi didn't want everyone's hours of fighting to go to waste.

A group of people rushed along the river to the most prosperous neighborhood in the city.

"Boss, there are none around here."

Hongjiao ran to the ruins of a house, raised his head and said to Wei Shengmo who was standing on the wall after he lifted his invisibility.

Wei Shengmo didn't reply, but Hong Jiao had gotten used to it.He continued: "There is no news from the president. The vice president just sent a message saying that we should go to [Nan'en Street] to search. But it depends on your thoughts. The vice president will say that you have your own ideas." Just follow your orders."

The fan is also ordered not to move to produce ink.

Although it was said to have someone search the neighborhood, the number of times Wei Shengmo was able to listen to her words could be counted on one's fingers.

She didn't expect Wei Shengmo to go either.Anyway, Wei Shengmo has his own ideas, and sometimes his own ideas are beyond their imagination.

Originally, the thieves group only listened to his command.What Wei Shengmo wants to do, Wan Shan won't bother to ask.I can't win anyway...

The Weishengmo people in the guild look only under Beixi.Although he does not socialize with others on weekdays, he is the most respected by the members.

The only person in this game who can call him is Beixi.

Wei Shengmo's eyelashes trembled slightly, Hong Jiao saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, and only now came back to his senses.So he spoke again: "Boss, let's talk to the vice president..."

The words were interrupted by the man's lukewarm tone. "I heard".He jumped down like a feather, and he didn't make any noise when he landed.Lightly without a trace of weight.

Hong Jiao scratched his hair: "Then shall we go now? Boss, you have other plans."

The map in front of Wei Shengmo was open, and his slender fingers slid over it, clicking on the map belonging to [Nan'en Street]. "The streets in this area are narrow and connected, and basically every street can be passed through."

His tone was neither high nor low, and there was no statement of emotion. "Monsters will not build the Dark Portal in such a place. It is narrow, there is not enough space for them to enter and exit, it is not concealed enough, and it cannot collect the power to strengthen the Dark Portal's transmission power."

"Then... where?"

Wei Shengmo flipped through the map.

There are many hidden places in a city, but there are not many places that can meet what he said, are spacious and hidden, and have the energy to allow them to build a door of darkness.

Wei Shengmo pointed somewhere. "Go here and have a look."

Hong Jiao took a look, "[Bino Street] ah..." This street is considered a relatively remote street in [Keyan City], and it is actually still being expanded.

There should not be many residents nearby.Hong Jiao actually didn't quite understand what Weishengmo said about collecting power.After thinking about it, he even asked Wei Shengmo about it.

"Boss, all the people in this city are dead, what did the monsters use to build the Dark Gate?"

"Did you see with your own eyes that everyone in this city was killed?" Wei Shengmo asked back.

The red dragon choked.

"The city is destroyed, and the people must be dead."

Wei Shengmo glanced at him, sure enough he was not on the same channel.

Seeing that Wei Shengmo was staring at the map and stopped talking, Hong Jiao wondered if he had said something wrong.Coughing, "Hey, boss. You mean that the energy used by those monsters to build the Dark Gate is using human life?"

Wei Shengmo said lightly: "Sacrifice needs blood. The Dark Gate needs the baptism of blood, and human life is naturally indispensable. Even if they massacre the city, it is impossible to completely demonize the city's people. Do you think that among the monsters you killed , how many humans have been demonized?"

The first demonized humans are extremely recognizable.

Like this is the beginning, human beings can still maintain their original appearance when they are contaminated by magic energy.Those with human appearance are either transformed by monsters or originally human.It shouldn't be the player, the player's demonization will be sent directly to the abyss for another series of tasks.

And the humans who demonize and fight here are all NPC humans.

After Wei Shengmo said this, Hong Jiao realized that it seemed that they had been fighting for so long, and they hadn't really seen a few demonized humans.

In such a huge city, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of players who come and go every day, there are also many NPC residents who settle here. There should still be 10 people.

This [-] is not enough to build a portal of darkness?
From the beginning, the Red Flood Dragon and the others didn't think about certain aspects.They thought that if the cities were destroyed and the people died, then these cities would become a fortress for the monsters to settle down.

Without one of the human fortresses, their future situation will be even more dangerous.But I didn't expect that the player could take the city spontaneously without receiving the task from the NPC.And in this action, they were the players who became the dominant players, and the NPCs were forced to assist.

In this case, it really seems that their players are completely dominating the world.

What they want, the world responds to.Rather than follow the fixed pace of this world, follow step by step to the end.

Hong Jiao thought for a while.

"Boss, are you saying that there are still living NPCs in this city?"

Wei Shengmo: "I don't know."

Red Jiao:???
A question mark.What the hell does that mean?
Wei Shengmo was still quite patient, but only because he was a red flood dragon.Follow him for a certain amount of time.

Hongjiao knew that Weishengmo treated people very well.

"It's not clear whether the city is still there, and the purpose of the monsters has not been fully exposed. If there are still alive game natives, it will also be a benefit to our players."

Hong Jiao: "There are more than 20 aborigines in a city. Like the main city, there are almost [-]."

NPCs are scattered in various areas of the city, some are fixed NPCs, and some are movable NPCs.

Mobile NPCs are difficult to distinguish among players, and they can still have normal conversations with players.But if you ask "questions" that are more difficult for them to understand, the flaws will soon be revealed.

In fact, in the Dark Years, the first to be hurt is not the player, but the NPC.Especially those civilians who do not have magical powers and have no combat effectiveness.

Player demonization will no longer appear on this continent.There will be a transition period, after which they return, of course, in their hostile camp.to be honest…

Players who have fallen into the dark camp have no national boundaries, which means that there may be players from five countries mixed in.People from the Dark Empire can also be demonized, but they are not the same as people from other countries.

"This city is connected to the sea area where the elf sea area belongs. After the monsters break through here, more than one dark gate will definitely be built."

The idea of ​​micro-ink is always farther than others.

"But we found no trace of the door."

If there is more than one, shouldn't it be easier to be discovered? There must be a large number of monsters where the Dark Gate is.

But so far, they have encountered a lot of monsters.After the elimination, there was no trace of the Dark Portal.I don't know where it is... It would be great if the mechanic's scouting mechanical beast could be used.

It's a pity that there is too much magic here, which will affect the detection wave of the scouting beast.

Wei Shengmo: "The monster has already noticed our actions."

Red Flood Dragon: "Advanced monster?"

"Low-level monsters don't have intelligence, but their bloodline will make them submit to high-level monsters. We need to speed up."

Hong Jiao nodded. "Then I'll call everyone back now, and go to [Bino Street] to check the situation first."

Words fall.

A person hurriedly pushed through the crowd and ran in, then stopped in front of Wei Shengmo and the two of them, panting heavily.This posture made others look sideways.

But it seems that he is a captain of their thieves group. 【Chen Xing Feng Ji】.

"Chen Xing, what are you doing?" Hong Jiao looked at him in surprise.Why is she in such a hurry.Did you discover something?
The man let out a breath, then looked at the two of them. "Team leader, I found traces of the Portal of Darkness over there. But I'm not sure, and I don't know what the Portal of Darkness looks like, just..." He spoke too quickly and was a little out of breath. He paused, took a few breaths, and said: "There is a dark crystal, but it is very small. And there are many high-level monsters in it. I checked the situation from a distance, and I didn't dare to get too close. After thinking about it, I still come here Let me tell you."

Hong Jiao was pleasantly surprised. "Really? Where?"

Chenxing raised her hand and pointed in one direction, "Over there, it's close to Sifang Street."

Sifang Street is 700 meters away from them.According to Chen Xing's running speed, it will take only three to four minutes.

Not far away.

"Team leader, go and have a look with me." Chen Xing showed a serious face.

Hong Jiao nodded, "Okay, let's go right away."

The other people listening to it were also quite surprised.

Yijian Zhongqing frowned slightly, then looked to his side.There was no one there, but Yijian Zhongqing still shouted into the air.

"Shadowless."

A black shadow is looming.

"Sifang Street that you are in charge of?"

"Ah."

Yijian Zhongqing asked: "Have you found anything?"

"There is no news from there. They just entered the street to search 2 minutes ago."

"You're the only ones going there?"

"Well. It's the team from the ground water belt. There are 30 people in total."

Yi Jian fell in love with a sudden heart.

He suddenly looked at the person in front of Hong Jiao and Wei Shengmo.Their detection team had just arrived there, and it was impossible for Chen Xing to act alone.

So who is Chen Xing in front of the two of them?
"Okay. Let's go there now, Chen Xing, you lead the team."

Chen Xing nodded, "Understood."

Turning around, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.If he didn't find anything abnormal, Yi Jianzhong felt that there was nothing wrong with his smile, but if he noticed something, he felt that this smile was too weird.

He was about to come out to stop him, but Wei Shengmo had already spoken.

The voice was completely cold.

"stop."

Hong Jiao paused, Chen Xing stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at Wei Shengmo.

The man was silent for two seconds, then pulled out a dragon-shaped dagger from his waist.The light was dim, exuding fierce killing intent.

"Surround the people."

No one would question Weishengmo's order.

So everyone turned around at the moment, and started the battle mode one after another, surrounded the red flood dragon and Chenxing Fengji on four floors inside and outside.

Hong Jiao: "Eh..." He was a bit confused.

Why do you think this battle is trying to make him feel like it? Hongjiao can't laugh or cry, he didn't do anything.

"Team leader?" Chen Xing Fengji looked at Wei Shengmo in doubt. "What is this for?"

Wei Shengmo stroked the dagger.

"Where are the people?"

Chen Xing is unknown. "What are you talking about? Who?"

Wei Shengmo looked at him coldly. "You only have 2 minutes to live, it's up to you whether you want to die or live."

Hong Jiao still doesn't understand the situation.

Then Chen Xing Feng Ji next to him suddenly exploded.

"What did I do to make you suspicious? You wanted to kill me and asked the president and the others? Even the head can't abuse his power and suppress us! Brothers, I'm right."

However, the answer to him was complete silence.

They even looked at him with caring eyes for the mentally retarded.

The expression of the red flood dragon next to him became serious.

He stepped back and stood beside Wei Shengmo.

"You are not Chen Xing."
