Chapter 642: Their respective experiences and new disappearances
Chapter 642: Their respective experiences and new disappearances
By studying this initial map, Lin Yu easily discovered something...
The Taoist temple where Xiao Huolong and his two companions first lived and the junction where he was originally located were both located in the southeast of Chenjiabao and Wuquan Village, and in the northwest.
Although the distance is about the same, the journey from the Taoist temple to Chenjiabao is smoother, and there are only a few places where demons appear marked along the way. Judging from the fact that the marking symbols are just a few bright red circles, although this route is dangerous, it is also limited.
As for the journey to Chenjiabao... the Fuyuan Mountain that I passed by was densely covered with red circles and crosses, and was also marked with a "skull" symbol, and a simple sketch of a mandrill was drawn by the way.
Obviously, this route of his is more difficult to take - although he has a escort team that is familiar with the road to lead the way, but this escort team may even be a side effect for the journey!
After all, the body that the escort team was escorting on the road, which seemed to be alive for some reason, did attract a large number of mandrills from Fuyuan Mountain to attack, and even attracted the mandrill leader Sanyang.
Although the crisis was resolved invisibly thanks to Li Nian and Lin Yu taking turns to act...but a lot of time was wasted indeed!
Therefore, this made Lin Yu have doubts.
"We were following the escort team all the way, and our speed wasn't very fast to begin with. Furthermore, we encountered an unusual demonic attack, which severely slowed down our progress. We only just made it to Chenjiabao. Logically, you should have arrived later than us."
Li Nian had been looking at the map nearby, and when he heard what Lin Yu said, he also reacted.
"Indeed, logically speaking, you should be faster than us!"
"You're all 'Second Stage' people, so you should have some understanding of the Hell Mountain Realm's Inferno. You wouldn't intentionally waste time on the road. You should even be seizing the opportunity to reach the human gathering point as quickly as possible... But why did you still arrive at noon?" Li Nian said warily. "You can't be deliberately trying to experience the terrifying power of the Hell Mountain Realm's Inferno's Three Days of Soaring Sky at Noon, or to challenge yourself, right?"
After all, at noon in Hellfire, it is really possible to die from the heat.
Especially since the indigenous humans and most of the demons in the Prison Mountain Realm couldn't withstand the scorching heat of the Fire Prison, even Sanyang, the leader of the mandrills, had to find a place to avoid the sun and cool down...
However, there are still quite a few demons that have extraordinary heat and sun resistance, so they will wander outside at noon to look for the unfortunate humans who have not returned to the gathering place.
Once found by those monsters, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced in the battle under the scorching sun, and they would be easily killed by the enemy.
In fact, the more heat-resistant a Hellfire Demon is, the stronger it tends to be.
Therefore, even high-level players in the Hellfire follow the principle of avoiding activities outdoors during noon as much as possible.
The "second-level" members of these three "Player Mutual Aid Associations" are neither strong enough to ignore the temperature of the Hellfire, nor are they rookies who have just joined the game and don't understand the situation in the Ten Realms... Apart from anything else, the "Player Mutual Aid Association" can be said to be the best among all major organizations in terms of basic science popularization and information sharing among its members.
Therefore, the fact that the three of them were late seemed particularly strange.
Facing Li Nian's questioning, Charmander explained, "We didn't encounter anything too unusual, but... on the other hand, there were constant small-scale demonic harassment, and we probably fought off five or six waves of demonic attacks."
"On the other hand... eh, um... ha, how should I put it..."
A conflicted look appeared on Charmander's face.
Lin Yu urged, "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly... If you keep hiding it like this, I'm going to take action directly."
With the title of "Psychological Society" member hanging above his head, Lin Yu's threat at this time seemed particularly effective.
Charmander immediately made up his mind and said, "It's like this - although we have a map, none of us three are particularly good at finding the way."
Charmander said sheepishly.
It's one thing to make up your mind to speak out immediately, and it's another to feel ashamed.
Squirtle also sighed: "It can't be helped. Usually, Bulbasaur does all this. Nowadays, electronic maps have navigation and one-click first-person view. It's still difficult to read traditional maps like this."
Li Nian finally couldn't help himself: "But geography is taught in class—it's taught in middle school!"
Charmander looked innocent: "But I didn't choose geography... If I want to take the exam, I don't need to master it in such detail."
Squirtle also lowered his head in a somewhat inferior manner: "I'm sorry, my transition from primary school to junior high school was not very ideal. I was separated in the second year of junior high school..."
Charmander comforted him, "It's okay. Education doesn't mean everything... Didn't we rely on you to understand the map to find Chenjiabao?"
Li Nian looked at Deadshot again: "Yes, they both have special skills. Are you also illiterate?"
Deadshot shook his head unhappily. "What are you talking about? I'm a real college student—and I've also studied geography. It's even my strong subject."
"Then why can't you understand the map?"
Deadshot sneered, "Test-taking and real-life application are completely different. I'm not illiterate, but I have a poor sense of direction."
As he spoke, Li Nian gave him a thumbs up: "Okay, none of you three are simple."
Lin Yu thought thoughtfully: "So the reason you arrived so late was just because you got lost?"
"Part of the reason, and part of the reason is that we are not only lost, but also ran into the territory of some terrible demon."
Charmander pointed to an area on the map not far from Twin Saw Mountain where there was a picture of three skulls with a stick figure of a python on it.
This area was not on their route, and the road had to be diverted a lot to get there.
"But it can be considered a blessing in disguise. After we accidentally ended up here, we finally knew exactly where we were."
At this moment, Lin Yu had nothing but awe and respect for the trio.
"It's not easy for you to come out alive."
After all, there is only one skeleton for Sanyang and his group of mandrill minions, but there are three skeleton symbols in this area, which in a sense means that the monsters here should be two levels stronger than the mandrill tribe.
in other words……
The three of them survived the pursuit and blockade of the three Sanyangs unscathed - there was not even a trace of injury.
Charmander, Squirtle and Deadshot were obviously unwilling to talk more about their recent experience. In response to Lin Yu's praise, they just laughed it off.
Just as Lin Yu was getting curious and about to ask more questions...
Suddenly, Lao Zheng's voice sounded in my mind.
"Boss, please be careful! Two more escorts have just disappeared!"
