Chapter 534: The Will of the Wind and the Flag of Recruitment

……

Quickly deal with the aftermath of the Wolf Lady's castle.

The group came to the platform on the side of Fufeng Slope.

Stand on the edge of the platform and look up.

The cliffs on the side seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade that fell from the sky. Most of the cliffs are neat and smooth like a flawless mirror, and only a few areas have undulating rocks or nests.

"Those are the nests where the wind demons live."

The little wolf explained.

Matthew nodded slightly.

On Fufeng Slope, the wind demon is an extremely transcendent creature.

On the one hand, they are a kind of devil and part of the devil society.

A considerable number of wind demons are willing to leave their tribe and serve the nearby demon lords.

Thanks to their elusive talents and their masterful control of the wind, wind demons can remain calm even when facing opponents much stronger than themselves.

Can't beat it.

At least there's still a chance to escape.

On the other hand, Fufeng Slope is the "holy land" of the Purgatory Wind Demon.

It is said that the ancestor of the wind demon sleeps forever in the cliff.

He built a magnificent tomb inside the cliff. In order to avoid being visited by tomb robbers, the Wind Demon Ancestor arranged a series of powerful ritual sites here.

One of the ritual sites contains the secret of the wind demon's advancement.

In order to gain the recognition of this ritual site, one must protect the tomb of the Wind Demon Ancestor.

therefore.

The wind demon lords living in various places in the Nine Hells reached an agreement.

They will take turns to be in charge of this place. On the one hand, they can fulfill their guardian obligations, and on the other hand, they will have the opportunity to closely comprehend the ritual site that contains the mystery of the wind.

The Wind Demon Lords are here.

Needless to say, there are their spouses, subordinates, followers, and younger brothers.

Therefore, there are always a large number of wind demons active in various places on Fufeng Slope all year round.

Since the Wind Demon Lords guarding this place are rotated regularly, the number of Wind Demons here always remains at an extremely high level.

Matthew stood on the platform and glanced upwards, and he found at least six or seven wind demon nests.

According to Little Wolf.

There are about 8 to 20 wind demons in each nest.

“The density of this distribution…”

“It’s a bit exaggerated indeed.”

Matthew couldn't help but touch his chin.

Since the effect of the spell was weakened, it was simply a pipe dream to climb up from the wind demon nest without being noticed.

Even if you use a powerful invisibility spell.

However, Fengmo has an amazing sense of changes in air flow and unfamiliar smells.

According to the density of wind demons on the cliff.

As long as one elite wind demon discovers the intruder, the latter will basically have to face all the monsters on the cliff!
Consider the extreme difficulty of fighting in this special terrain.

Most people gave up the idea of ​​climbing Fufeng Slope from the side.

"Why don't we just walk straight ahead!"

Little Wolf suggested:
"I know some places where we can hide. If we climb slowly and carefully, we still have a chance to climb over without anyone noticing."

Matthew shook his head upon hearing this:
"too slow."

The appearance of Fufeng Slope has greatly delayed the progress of his trip.

He climbed the hill above.

It's so tiring.

Not to mention that there are a large number of shadow demon armies ready to attack in the front.

under these circumstances.

He must take extreme measures to make up for the lost time, even if it means taking some risks.

"Don't worry. If you fall from here, you'll even have time to have a cup of afternoon tea before performing the Feather Fall or Float spells. You won't die from the violent fall."

Edge of platform.

Roland retracted his head that was about to stick out to look down.

Carmela looked at Matthew calmly:

"If you have decided, just do it. We believe in you and are willing to support you."

Matthew nodded.

Immediately, he opened Paradise Lost and took Roland, Charles, Carmela and Sandrine in.

Although Paradise Lost will have negative effects of assimilation and suppression on outsiders.

But as long as Matthew is fast enough.

This will reduce the negative effects to a minimum.

"Aren't you going in?"

he asked the little wolf.

The latter shrank his neck, and then said boldly:
"I want to follow you and see how you climbed up there."

"Well, don't worry about me. I can catch up."

talking.

The little wolf suddenly jumped onto Matthew's shoulder, and its graceful body immediately turned into a silver-gray cloak, tightly wrapped around Matthew's neck and shoulders.

……

"Hint: You have obtained the "Wild Wolf Cloak (Ghost Incarnation)"

Wolf Cloak: When you wear this equipment, your balance, climbing, swimming, running & galloping, jumping & sprinting and other related abilities will be greatly improved.

……

“It feels pretty good.”

Feeling the prickly fur on the neck.

Matthew couldn't help but pinch the cloak a few more times.

The wolf's stammering voice immediately rang in his ears:

"Don't pinch it, it hurts."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Matthew immediately let go and apologized.

Without waiting for the little wolf to react.

next second.

Matthew rushed towards the cliff.

"and many more!"

"If we do this..."

"Will the noise be too loud? They will find us..."

The little wolf asked in Matthew's ear in surprise and worry.

Matthew felt the strong wind blowing in his face, and looked up at the cliff that was like a sheer cliff. His emotions were slightly agitated, but his voice remained calm:

"I didn't intend to hide it from them!"

The words fell.

He had already rushed to the edge of the cliff.

It was at that moment.

Matthew's body suddenly underwent a drastic change -

A large amount of hair grew out from all the surfaces of his skin, his limbs became more slender and powerful, and his body became more upright!

"Wild Form: Eastern Fairy Ape"!
puff!
puff!
puff!
Dust rises.

There was a slight noise coming from the cliff above the platform.

The nearby wind demons lowered their heads.

All they could see was slight rockfall and more noises below the mountain.

But in the rolling dust.

They seemed to find no signs of human disturbance.

They didn't even see any human figure!

“Time after time!”

Several wind demons that gathered together were whispering to each other.

They were puzzled by what was happening on the mountain wall.

They had clearly rushed over as soon as they heard the noise and felt the change in air flow.

But no trace of the perpetrator was found.

Is this a collective illusion?

Just when the wind demons were puzzled, suddenly one of them pointed at the top of their heads in surprise, so all the wind demons looked up, and then they saw a scene that they would probably never understand in their lifetime -

More dust and small pieces of fallen rocks fell from the top of the mountain.

The area where dust is raised forms a long and thin dust belt from bottom to top.

And at the end of that dust belt.

The highest point where rockfall occurs.

A monkey-like figure is climbing rapidly at an incredible speed!

His speed is too fast.

As a result, the mad demons only saw two or three seconds before the monkey's figure completely disappeared in the dust on the mountain wall! Some wind demons were obviously unconvinced.

They chased upward along the dust belt for a while before realizing the gap between the two sides.

Wind demons are the only species that can maintain medium-speed flight on the cliffs of Fufeng Slope.

The other party can only climb.

But the climbing speed of the Eastern Immortal Ape is many times faster than the flying speed of an ordinary Wind Demon!
This completely stunned the wind demons.

But there are some clever ones among them.

One of the wind demons, seeing that he could not catch up, immediately made a "ciccici" hissing sound. They tried to alert their companions at high places about the outsiders by passing on the alarm.

have to say.

This trick is effective.

No matter how fast the Eastern Immortal Ape climbs, it can never surpass the speed of sound.

So it didn't take long.

Matthew ran into two wind demons that had positioned themselves in advance.

However, the agility of the fairy ape is truly amazing.

Faced with the pursuit and blockade of wind demons high up in the sky, Matthew just made an explosive leap and instantly left the enemy behind.

Then he used his incredible climbing ability to leave his enemies far behind.

on the other hand.

Although the wind demons below have already issued a series of alarms.

But you can climb higher and higher.

The higher the distribution, the fewer wind demons there are.

This resulted in Matthew encountering fewer obstacles than he had imagined.

The most difficult one is undoubtedly an elite wind demon that is shining with strange runes.

This guy came up with his teeth bared and claws showing.

As a result, he was slapped by the immortal ape and his core was almost shattered. He became obedient instantly.

after that.

Matthew climbed up and down as if he were walking on flat ground. In the end, he not only climbed over the side of Fufeng Slope in one go, but also stole the treasure chests inside several wind demon nests when he passed by!

That's right.

There is a treasure chest in the Wind Demon's Lair.

And the higher you go, the higher the probability of a treasure chest appearing.

Matthew didn't have time to find out the details of the situation, he was just busy stealing.

But it's not hard to guess afterwards.

These treasure chests were most likely intended by the wind demons to be presented to the lord who comprehended the mystery of wind in the ritual field.

"Even with such a big commotion, the Wind Demon Lord didn't come out. I guess the news won't get out for a while..."

despite this.

After successfully escaping and reaching the top of the cliff, Matthew released Roland and others, and asked Roland to spread some rumors to interfere with his climbing operation.

"Don't worry, this is my specialty. I can use the 'news blockade' first, which can at least lock the time for seven days, and then release various fake versions. For a while, no one will know that it was you who climbed over Fufeng Slope."

Loran confirmed, patting his chest hair.

Matthew felt a little relieved.

Although Luo Lan is usually unreliable in doing things, he can still be useful at critical moments.

The legendary bard has a near-monopoly on regional news.

As long as there isn't another legendary bard in the vicinity, the news blockade of Loran is almost certain.

of course.

The premise for all this is that the Wind Demon Lord has not come out.

It would be a long night and many dreams.

The group hurried on their journey.

On the road.

Matthew took the time to open the treasure chests. In addition to a large amount of valuables, there were also some valuable items -

……

"The Will of the Gale: The node token of the Gale Realm. With this, you can better enter the Gale Realm and its related areas."

"Four Symbols Card (Special Item/White Tiger Xuanzhen): Once you have mastered a certain amount of sky authority, you can activate this item.

You can use the Four Symbols Cards to arrange the Four Symbols Formation, and then summon the power of the ancient Four Symbols to assist you, and apply different spell effects to specific areas..."

"Soul Orb: This orb is made from 100 pure souls. It is a priceless item in the Nine Layers of Purgatory. Usually, 300 to 500 high-quality souls are needed to trade it.

After taking the Soul Orb, you will gain a large amount of XP and a small amount of abilities or spells from the refined soul.

"Still Iron Armor (Armor): This item is the nemesis of wind demons. After wearing it, you will be immune to most of the wind demon's attacks and immune to any effects of the wind field.

Additionally, Stasis Iron provides a significant amount of armor.

Requirements: Wearable with a Strength of 21 or above

……

These props all have their uses.

The Will of the Wind can be used as a springboard for exploring new areas, or as a cornerstone for building new areas.

Matthew had obtained the Will of Flowing Clouds before and had built his own domain ecosystem, so he naturally wanted the node tokens of the domain.

With this thing.

Not only did he have the confidence to enter the gale domain, he also had a chance to touch the sky domain behind it.

The Four Symbols Cards are even more ingenious.

He previously had one that sealed Canglong Dufeng, and now he has obtained one that sealed Baihu Xuanzhen.

Although Canglong's share has been given to Li Weiqi.

But if all four are really collected, there is still a chance that the power of the Four Symbols will reappear in the world.

As for the Soul Orb and Still Iron Armor.

The former is pure wealth and experience. With this orb in hand, you can basically bribe most of the Purgatory Devils.

Matthew himself had no use for the latter.

However, it can be equipped to the undead under your command.

Whether it is the Dark Knight Argus or the Death Knight Forty-Seven, they are all very suitable for wearing this highly targeted armor.

"What does it mean that the wind demons collect the Still Iron Armor and give it to their lords?"

Matthew was a little surprised.

Between thoughts.

The group crossed the extension area behind the Fufeng Slope mountain.

The scenery before my eyes changed from muddy light yellow to endless darkness.

On both sides are towering cliffs.

The ground ahead was filled with cracks that spread out like spider webs.

Different from the mountain walls where the wind demons live.

There is no trace of life on the mountain walls on both sides of this huge valley.

Because this is no ordinary mountain wall.

This is the part of Purgatory Blood River's torso exposed outside the plane.

They are the skeletons of Purgatory.

Supporting the framework of the Nine-Layer Purgatory.

Matthew knows.

Just above the cliffs on both sides - if it can be reached by humans - there is a large amount of purgatory, which is the place where purgatory blends and folds with the main material world and secondary planes.

This is Shadow Rift.

An extremely long and narrow corridor.

It is also the core of the Phantom Baron's territory.

The Paradise Manor, which Matthew had seen advertised before, is located at the beginning of Shadow Rift.

And the real residence of the Phantom Baron——

Deep Black Castle.

It is located at the end of Shadow Rift.

The importance of this rift is self-evident. It is an important bridge connecting the core area of ​​Baator Purgatory with the outer areas.

Every day, a large number of caravans, armies, and random demons pass through the rift.

In the past.

The Phantom Baron is open to most outsiders.

But the situation is obviously different now.

Along the way.

Not only did Matthew almost run into several shadow demon armies that were ready to go, he also discovered black flags in many places in the rift that continuously emitted special halos in all directions.

"The flag of call."

Little Wolf solemnly introduced:

"This is Gracia's treasure."

"All the devils recruited by the halo of the battle flag must gather under the battle flag and automatically become a member of the newly established army, and then follow the flag to fight in the distance."

"As long as the flag is not destroyed, the conscripted devils will never regain their freedom."

"Oh my god, almost every place in Shadow Rift is filled with flags of conscription. Which force is worthy of mobilizing so many troops?"

"Matthew, do you know?"
