From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 232 Black Rock City

After reaching an agreement with Darkvir, the Black Iron Tribe temporarily stopped its pursuit of humans.

So Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu didn't need to hide anymore, and were led by Lu Heng into Dili Fort.

Lu Heng has accepted the mission to go to Blackrock City to retrieve the ashes of Darkville II. This mission is very dangerous, so some preparations need to be made before departure.

"I need a map of Black Rock City, including all the mines, secret passages, and hidden places unknown to the blood demons." Lu Heng made the request.

Darkville was ready and took Lu Heng to the military hall.

There is a sand table of Blackrock City in the military hall, which shows all the details of Blackrock Mine and Blackrock City.

After all, Blackrock City was the original home of the Darkville Dark Iron Tribe. Although it was taken away by the Blood Demons, this Blackrock City was built by the Dark Iron Tribe, and no one knows this stone city better than them.

Darkwell went directly to the square of Blackrock City and said with a voice full of hatred: "It was here. When I sneaked into Blackrock City two years ago, my father was hanged on the pillar of the square. He couldn't rest in peace even after his death.

“I wanted to take back my father’s body, but was discovered by the blood demon. During the battle, my father’s body was burned to ashes by the flames.

"Since two years have passed, I am not sure where the ashes are placed. But considering how hateful the blood demons are, they will definitely not bury my father's ashes."

It turned out that after Darkville II died, his body was hung on a pillar in the Blackrock City Square by the blood demons and humiliated for a whole year.

No wonder Darkville III has such a deep hatred for the blood demons. This kind of thing would be an irreconcilable feud for anyone.

Lu Heng was quite familiar with the blood demons. This group of demons was very prosperous in the abyss world.

Blood demons can be seen in many abyss battlefields.

The blood demon has a goat's head and a human body, so psychics sometimes call the blood demon a goat-headed monster.

The blood demon is very bloodthirsty. After killing its prey, it will lie on the prey and suck all its blood.

Besides.

Blood demons are a race of demons with advanced intelligence and some of the characteristics of psychics.

The first is the skill slot. According to the research of the psychics in the previous life, it was found that blood demons can use multiple types of skills, so it is speculated that blood demons have skill slots.

In addition, blood demons can also have classes.

Lu Heng's second job rank, [Swordsman], was obtained from a blood-born sword demon.

At that time, a corpse bird appeared in the sea off the East China Sea. Lu Heng led a team to search by boat, killed the corpse bird and the Blood Sword Demon together, and then obtained the source of [Swordsman] from the Blood Sword Demon.

Because of their skill slots and class abilities, the blood demons' combat power is no less than that of human psychics.

Moreover, the blood demon has the ability to heal itself by sucking blood. After being injured, it just needs to catch a prey and suck the blood, and the injury will recover within a few minutes.

For this reason, in encounters, blood demons of the same level can display even greater combat power than humans.

Also, because blood demons have skill slots and classes, the abilities of this type of demon are not fixed and can have any type of ability.

This is different from other demons.

For example, the Flame Demon has very powerful flame abilities, but Lu Heng knows what abilities it has.

The last time we killed the Fire Demon, its final self-explosion was completely expected, and we could prepare for it in advance.

It’s different when facing a blood demon. It’s unknown what kind of abilities a blood demon possesses.

There is no way to predict in advance, and you can only respond on the spot after the fight based on the skills and moves used by the opponent.

Also, because blood demons have skill slots and classes, there is a possibility that the illusion orb will be discovered.

Therefore, this mission is very dangerous.

One of the reasons why Lu Heng dared to take on this task was that he was very familiar with the effects of the Shapeshifting Orb and knew which skills could see through the camouflage effect of the Shapeshifting Orb.

Relying on experience, you can avoid dangerous targets in advance.

Lu Heng lay in front of the sand table of Black Stone City, memorizing the entire internal structure of the stone city in his mind.

Darkwell pointed at the sand table and began to introduce this strangely constructed stone city:

“Black Rock City was built on the Black Rock Mine. The structure of the entire stone city is integrated with the Black Rock Mine.

“Under the Black Rock Mine, there is a lava abyss, three hundred meters high, which is the most dangerous place in Black Rock City.

“There is a lava river flowing through Black Rock City. The lava river flows into the lava abyss at the south end of Black Rock Square.

“If a normal creature falls into the lava abyss, there is no chance of survival.

“This lava river passes by the gate of Black Rock City. If the drawbridge at the gate is not lowered, ordinary people cannot enter.

“This is also the main reason why Black Rock City is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

“As long as the Blackrock City guards retract the drawbridge, the only way to enter Blackrock City is to wade across the lava river.

"Even for us Dark Iron Dwarves, it would be difficult to do this."

Dark Iron Dwarves are naturally resistant to fire, which is their racial talent that allows them to live in stone cities surrounded by lava rivers.

Even so, it is difficult for Dark Iron dwarves to wade across the lava river.

Su Muyu was also observing the sand table of Black Stone City and comparing it with the observations of the Chongming Bird.

At this moment, above the Black Stone City, there was an invisible double-headed bird circling in the sky, observing this magnificent and strange stone city.

When looking at the sand table, because the stone city on the sand table is relatively small, I just feel that the structure of the stone city is very magical.

Only by observing the real Black Stone City with the Chongming Bird can you feel the grandeur of this stone city.

It was a stone city that was integrated with the entire mountain. It was indeed a miracle building of the Dark Iron Dwarf civilization.

Seeing this stone city, one can understand why the Darkville Black Iron Tribe is showing signs of revival.

This is a majestic city that can be recorded in the Dark Iron Dwarf civilization. It took the Dark Iron tribe of Darkville a century to build it bit by bit.

Such a magnificent stone city is now occupied by blood demons.

It has to be said that the Dark Iron Dwarves do have a miserable fate.

Su Muyu observed the sand table and the real Black Stone City at the same time, and pointed out several differences:

"Here, this cave entrance is blocked, so it should be difficult to enter Black Rock City from the air."

Darkwell explained, "This was blocked by the Blood Demons two years ago. Two years ago, I entered the Black Rock Mine from here, then dug through the mine and entered Black Rock City."

Lu Heng looked at every detail of Black Stone City, then closed his eyes, reviewed the structure of Black Stone City in his mind, and imagined himself walking through the various passages in Black Stone City.

After repeating this twice, make sure you have all the channels memorized.

Lu Heng stood up straight and said, "Captain Darkville, I need a few more drops of Dark Iron Dwarf blood. Bloodline demons are more bloodthirsty, and if there is no smell of blood on your body, it will be easy to be suspected."

"Yes, to hide your identity, you do need the smell of blood," Darkwill agreed.

A guard of the Dark Iron Tribe stepped forward, stretched out his arm and said, "Use my blood."

Darkwill raised his hand to stop him, pulled out a dagger and cut his arm: "Since you want to retrieve my father's ashes, you should use my blood."

Lu Heng took a piece of cloth, dipped a few drops of his blood on it, then folded it and stuffed it into his pocket.

Blood demons prefer to suck blood rather than smear blood on their bodies. In addition, blood demons have a very sensitive sense of smell for blood, so they don’t need too much blood, a few drops are enough.

After everything was ready, the balcony gradually set.

Night is when the blood demons are active, so Lu Heng needs to enter Black Stone City at night.

After the sun set, Lu Heng came out of the military hall and prepared to set off.

In the square outside the military hall, a group of Dark Iron Dwarves were competing with the mechanical tiger Anka.

This group of Dark Iron Dwarves had never seen such a handsome "creature" before. Its body seemed to be made of metal, but it was not pure iron.
The mechanical tiger stretched out its claws toward the nearest Dark Iron Dwarf and slapped the Dark Iron Dwarf away.

The Dark Iron Dwarf quickly got up, laughed, and ran up to continue surrounding the mechanical tiger. He found this way of fighting very interesting.

Lu Heng waved his hand, called the mechanical tiger back, then said goodbye to Darkwell and officially set off.

Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu followed out of Dili Fort to discuss the next course of action.

"Do you need me to go in with you?" After careful consideration, Su Muyu felt that Black Stone City was relatively large, and through the invisibility ability, he could sneak into some remote places in Black Stone City.

"No, it's still not possible. When needed, just send the Chongming Bird to pick me up." After careful consideration, Lu Heng decided to go in alone.

"Then you have to be careful." Su Muyu pursed her lips, the worry in her heart was written on her face.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "You stay in the Fortress of Sharpening and be careful. The Dark Iron Dwarves won't make things difficult for you for now, but other humans are variables. Be wary of the two teams we have seen. Those people think differently from us."

Su Muyu nodded and agreed: "Understood, I know."

Lin Zeyu said while holding a sniper rifle: "I think we can just kill them directly, which will save a lot of trouble."

"Forget it. Our principle is not to fire the first shot."

It is not a wise move to engage in internal fighting in the abyss battlefield.

If internal strife breaks out in every abyss battlefield after humans are teleported, then a group of humans will die every time they are recruited.

Human civilization will not last long before it is swallowed by the abyss.

Lu Heng had seen the civilization catastrophe that humans faced in the later stages of the abyss invasion, so he hoped that in this life he could allow humans to take a different path and find ways to fight the abyss.

Since being teleported here, Su Muyu has been worried about one question: "How to deal with the traitors? One of the challenge tasks is to eliminate the traitors. Does it mean that there are traitors among the superpowers recruited this time?"

The first challenge task is:
[1. Find the fallen betrayer and eliminate him. ]

Lu Heng had already paid attention to this issue, and nodded and said, "Yes, among the superpowers recruited this time, there are traitors, that is certain."

Lin Zeyu asked curiously: "Since the Lord God knew there was a traitor, why didn't he just kill him?"

Lu Heng glanced at him and reminded him, "If it is the Lord God who summoned us, then what is the existence of issuing the betrayer mission? The Lord God of the Abyss?

“If there really is a main god, then it is a game between the main gods of both sides.

"If the Lord God on our side can wipe out the traitors, can the Lord God of the Abyss also wipe out us?

“If the Lord God really has the power to obliterate any target, then our efforts are meaningless.

“In fact, whether there is a main god is still unknown.

“I prefer to call the existence that issues tasks the world’s will.

“From the current mission information, the world will that issued the mission knows that there is a betrayer, but does not know who the betrayer is.

"Perhaps the will of the abyss is also protecting the betrayer and concealing his characteristics."

Su Muyu thought for a moment and asked, "Then how do we determine who is the betrayer?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and replied: "We can only judge it based on the betrayer's behavioral logic."

……

After formulating the action plan, Lu Heng rode on the mechanical tiger, the double-headed bird grabbed Lin Zeyu, and Su Muyu spread his wings and flew into the sky.

The three of them flew towards Black Rock City from the air.

The flight speed was very fast, so when we arrived near Black Rock City, the night had just begun to spread over the lava plain.

The three searched in the air for a while, found a team of blood demons, and landed directly.

The solar wind blew, the source energy shock bomb, the thunder prison, and all the energy attacks smashed down.

In one encounter, all five blood demons were killed.

Su Muyu picked up the fallen crystal core, took a look at it, and put it into the inventory.

The skill levels of the three of them are now very high, so killing ordinary demons, even if crystal cores are dropped, usually cannot immediately increase combat power.

Lu Heng used the shape-shifting orb to transform into the appearance of one of the blood demons.

"I'm leaving now. Find a place to hide and don't let the blood demon find you."

"Okay, don't worry about us. If you encounter danger, send us a signal and I will come to pick you up immediately." Su Muyu reminded.

Lu Heng waved his hand and walked towards Black Stone City.

As night falls.

Night enveloped the dark stone city ahead.

Because the stone city is surrounded by a lava river, even at night, you can see red light rising from the ground, illuminating the outline of this black stone city.

Lu Heng walked along the mountain road towards Black Stone City.

After nightfall, blood-born demons came out of Blackrock City and went out into the wild to look for food.

Although blood demons are a relatively intelligent race among demons, their discipline is actually not very high.

This demon with a sheep's head and a human body has poor verbal expression ability.

Generally speaking, only high-level blood demons will shout and give orders.

Normally, when blood demons meet, they don't communicate with words. When they must communicate, they use a few simple roars to express their emotions.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Heng dared to sneak into Black Stone City alone.

Because blood demons rarely speak, they are not easy to be detected.

In addition, this type of demon has poor discipline. Although they go out in groups when foraging, they do not have a strict formation.

A single blood demon can go wherever it wants, and no other blood demons will care about their own kind.

Only when high-level blood demons appear will these low-level blood demons behave respectfully.

Lu Heng walked up along the road of the Black Rock Mine and encountered two or three teams of blood demons who were out foraging for food. One or two of them made low sounds, expressing some kind of emotion.

Hearing this voice, Lu Heng did not respond, but walked straight forward, as if he did not see these blood demons.

If this kind of behavior were to occur among humans, it would be considered as being aloof and difficult to get along with.

But among the blood demon community, this is the most normal reaction.

As long as the opponent is not a high-level blood demon, just ignore him.

Lu Heng walked up the mountain road and arrived at the gate of Black Stone City.

The drawbridge at the gate had been lowered, and several blood demons were coming out.

Lu Heng took two quick steps, stepped onto the suspension bridge, and walked towards the Black Stone City Gate.

That's when.

A high-level blood demon appeared above the city gate and roared towards the people below.

Roar!
All the blood demons on the mountain road below shuddered, turned around, faced the direction of the Blackrock City Gate, and stood still with their heads down.

Lu Heng also quickly stood still, lowered his head and waited quietly towards the high-level blood demon above.

You must not move at this time, otherwise you will be discovered.
