Chapter 17: Detour of the Demonic Tide
Chapter 17: Detour of the Demonic Tide
More than 200 meters away from the cave shelter.
Seeing that his space backpack was full, Liu Hen took out the bonfire.
He first put a hundred pieces of wood into the campfire, and then started to upgrade.
Four hundred pieces of wood and four magic crystals were consumed, and then the upgrade countdown appeared.
It's still one minute, much faster than the workbench.
'The wood in the fuel tank has not been consumed. It seems that the wood in the fuel tank cannot be used for upgrading.'
The fuel tank of this bonfire is very magical. There is currently no capacity limit, and it seems that it can hold endless wood fuel.
But unfortunately, the wood put in cannot be taken out, so this fuel tank cannot be used as a place to store wood.
Because he deliberately placed the campfire where there were trees before choosing to upgrade, he continued to collect while waiting.
Bark +5
[Wood +10]
[Wood +10]
As the blade of the Axe of All Things continued to fall, the cracks on the twisted and short tree in front of him continued to increase.
What surprised Liu Hen was that he collected four hundred pieces of wood in one go, but the tree didn't explode yet.
"Could it be that the root system is very large?"
He immediately put the extra three hundred pieces of wood into the campfire's fuel tank and continued collecting.
Soon, the bonfire reached level four, and the radius for driving away monsters reached four meters.
He immediately consumed another 500 pieces of wood and 5 magic crystals to continue upgrading.
While he waited, he continued to collect from the trees in front of him.
[Wood +10]
[Wood +10]
As the cracks became more and more, finally——
[Tree Core +1]
A piece of special material was collected, and the next moment the low trees in front of him exploded with a "bang", turning into a large amount of sawdust that fell down.
And right before my eyes, a huge pit appeared, five or six meters deep, and it was obvious that the root system was very developed.
'Tree core?'
Liu Hen's idea moved him, and he took out the tree core with a flip of his hand.
This is a white piece of wood that is half a meter long and as thick as an arm. It is very hard and heavy, like metal.
'Special material, should be very useful.'
He put the tree core away and found that the level of the campfire had just risen to level five.
The radius of the level five bonfire to drive away monsters reaches five meters, and no other changes can be seen in the data.
Liu Hen was about to continue upgrading when suddenly Heishi, who was on guard in the distance, ran towards him quickly with an anxious look on his face.
Without waiting for him to ask, Little Black Stone said nervously and quickly, "Master, run! The demonic tide is coming!"
"Demon Tide?"
Liu Hen was puzzled. Before he could react to what the demonic tide was, he saw a large number of demons and monsters sweeping towards him like a tide more than 20 meters away.
"Idiot!!"
His face changed drastically. He quickly put away the campfire and rushed towards the cave shelter with the little black stone in his arms.
However, among the monsters in the rear, there were some six-armed monsters with astonishing speed.
They were caught up after running for more than ten meters. A six-armed monster suddenly stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed his head.
'Damn it! I have no choice but to take a gamble!'
He was horrified, and suddenly took out the bonfire again and lit it directly.
"Pong!"
The flames shot up more than one meter high, and the sharp claw that was about to grab his head suddenly retracted. At the same time, the terrifying six-armed monster also retreated suddenly, with smoke all over its body.
'It really works!'
Liu Hen was overjoyed.
At this time, the demon army arrived.
"grown ups……"
Heishi was ready to cry, thinking that he was going to die together with his master.
As a result, the monsters rushed to five meters away and suddenly stopped, and then had to take a detour under the push of the monsters behind them.
The bonfire in the darkness was like a nail house, blocking the way here.
The demonic army, which was as powerful as a hot knife through butter, had to take a detour after approaching, and was swept past from both sides like a mad torrent.
The place where they are is like a reef in a torrent. No matter how the torrent washes over them, it remains motionless.
Xiao Heishi was stunned by the scene in front of him and stared at it blankly.
"This this……"
She felt that all her three views were overturned because she had never heard of such a thing.
The demonic army, this terrifying thing, wherever it passes, no life can survive.
The most important thing is that the demon army will not turn. If they encounter any living thing, they will pounce on it and tear it to pieces without hesitation before continuing on their way.
Because a demonic tide would erupt almost every six months, and at most once every two to three years.
That's why, even though she was only thirteen years old, she knew about the Demonic Tide.
The only way for the barbarians to survive the demon tide is to stay out of the way. As long as they stay ten meters away, the demon tide will not bother to pay attention and will just march quickly.
Because the demonic tide really won't turn, as if it has something huge to do and has no time to pay attention to the small shrimps it encounters on the roadside. However -
This monster, which claimed that it would never turn or take a detour, actually took a detour at this moment and bypassed them without tearing them to pieces.
They... no, to be exact, it was the light of the bonfire in front of them, which was like a light to ward off evil spirits, driving away all demons and monsters.
Any monster that came within five meters, no matter whether it had two arms or six, would be covered in smoke and retreat quickly with horror in its eyes.
That’s right, the monster, which was originally irrational, actually showed fear in its eyes.
This is so horrifying that no one would believe it if it were spread out.
But now it is actually happening.
"Who is this master? Is he really just an ordinary psychic?"
This was the first time Blackstone thought about this kind of thing.
There were many legends about people with special powers in the Night Fog World, but she had never heard of any person with such miraculous means that could make even the demonic tides avoid them like snakes and scorpions.
At this time, Liu Hen finally found the relevant memories of the magic tide in the mind of this body.
The so-called magic tide is a tide composed of a large number of monsters, and it is a fast-moving monster tide. The smallest magic tide is composed of tens of thousands of monsters.
When the demonic tide passes, almost no life can survive.
Furthermore, the demonic tide will not turn. Unless it is a dead thing, all living things will be torn to pieces, or torn to pieces by living things...
But when it came to them, this conclusion seemed to be broken. These monsters actually ignored the two of them.
At this time, he even saw an eight-armed monster passing by, but the eight-armed monster with a terrifying aura also showed fear in its eyes. It directly bypassed the campfire and ignored the two of them who were within the range of the campfire's flames.
"Could it be that my bonfire... truly has absolute characteristics?"
Liu Hen himself was shocked: "Although it doesn't seem to directly kill the monsters in the dark, this repelling effect is like a rule. Even the eight-armed monster has to take a detour..."
Eight-armed monster...
Although I have never seen the strength of this monster with my own eyes, but... a two-armed monster only drops one magic crystal when it dies, but a four-armed monster drops eight magic crystals.
If the difference in strength is eight times, the six-armed monster may drop sixty-four magic crystals.
Those eight arms...I'm afraid they'll drop hundreds of magic crystals.
Because he had never killed an eight-armed monster before, Liu Hen didn't know how many magic crystals the eight-armed monster would drop, but just feeling the breath before made him tremble.
It can be seen that the monster is definitely a super terrifying existence.
As a result, it is incredible that such a being would be afraid of the warding off evil spirits of the bonfire.
finally--
About a minute later, the demonic tide completely passed.
These dark creatures without any reason disappeared quickly into the darkness like a tide, without making any sound in the process.
There was not even the sound of wind, let alone footsteps. The forced march was silent, which was very strange.
"I... I actually survived the demonic tide..."
Heishi sat down on the ground. She used to be able to endure hunger, but now she was so scared that her legs went weak.
Although the mental qualities of the barbarians are strong enough, their bodies are not under their control.
Because a very terrifying monster passed by before, it is very likely that the higher-level life form was intimidating the lower-level life form, causing her legs to become uncontrollable.
In fact, it was not just her. Liu Hen's legs were also a little weak and he couldn't walk.
However, Liu Hen was a little better off because he knew that the flames of the bonfire had the properties of warding off evil spirits and driving away monsters in the dark, so he was mentally prepared.
Since he couldn't walk for the time being, he simply sat down by the campfire to rest so as not to waste his energy.
"This bonfire... may be more valuable than I imagined... but it can't be measured in terms of value."
For the first time he pondered—
The most common creatures in the darkness are monsters such as demons and goblins. Normal creatures such as madmen and other beasts are extremely rare.
When you go out to collect by yourself in the future, you may want to light some bonfires around to increase your visibility, which can eliminate danger to a greater extent.
Because Xiao Heishi is alone, he can only guard in one direction at a time.
This time they were lucky, as the demonic tide just appeared from the direction where Little Black Stone was on guard.
What if the next demonic tide comes from other directions?
'The recipe for the campfire is still there, and even the recipe for the workbench is still there. It hasn't disappeared just because it was used once.'
Liu Hen thought to himself: "So theoretically, whether it's a bonfire or a workbench, they should be able to be made multiple times."
As long as you have the materials, you can make it multiple times.
Since it can be produced multiple times, there must be a reason for it.
Perhaps this is the correct way to use your cheat code, rather than just choosing one to upgrade.
"It doesn't seem necessary to build multiple workbenches right now, but a bonfire... is absolutely necessary!"
He secretly planned: "Upgrading is also necessary, but I will only upgrade one, and this one needs to be carried with me."
The rest can be discarded at any time without feeling bad about it.
Of course, that is a future plan. There is too little wood now, so we should first upgrade the campfire to its current highest level.
Since the Pickaxe of Everything has the current maximum level limit, he guessed that the Campfire and Workbench should also have it.
Finally, after resting for more than half an hour, his legs were no longer so weak, and he prepared to get up and take the little black stone back into the cave.
However, at this moment, many monsters suddenly appeared in the distance.
Those monsters were different from the previous demon tide, and their numbers were far less than the previous demon tide. They did not march quickly in one direction, but rushed towards this side madly.
