Therefore, by simply adding some demonic features to a human's appearance and concealing their human scent, one can enter the city from a demonic village.
An Yi knew that this was actually part of the game's design.
There is a very cheap item in the game that allows players to move freely in demon cities.
The description is that players can enter the territory of the demons by "changing their appearance and smell".
But there's one problem...
Humans have not yet mastered the language of the demons.
In addition, the demons have an unusual contempt for races weaker than themselves, so the ancestors who went into demon cities to investigate always died for various reasons.
For example, if someone cannot answer the corresponding questions upon entering the gate, or if they are simply disliked by the demons, or if they are caught sneaking around and discovered by the demons, they will be killed.
As for how to distinguish between strong and weak, it's quite simple: demons have special organs that allow them to sense magical power.
They can judge strength by magical power, and those without magical power by their physical size, which is very easy to understand.
Humans lacked magic and were small in size. In addition, they could not understand the language of the demons, making it extremely difficult for them to move around in the demon territory.
The three of them couldn't gather intelligence, not even by sitting in a restaurant; they could only rely on observation to obtain information.
The size, appearance, fighting prowess, and daily routines of the Four Demons are some of the few pieces of useful information they can observe.
Even with such difficulties, the reason for exploring the demon city is quite simple.
The ear is because it wants to retaliate.
We must retaliate against the demons who are constantly encroaching on human territory.
We must retaliate against the demons who constantly kill and plunder humans.
Every soldier knew that the demons were incredibly strong, every single one of them was a monster, an enemy that humans simply could not defeat!
but……
This is not a reason for them not to fight!
Some people may lose their fighting spirit because of this, but there will definitely be some who are unwilling to give up!
For the sake of humanity's future, even if it means dying like an ant, we will use our mouthparts, smaller than a sesame seed, to bite our enemies!
What's the point of a mere ant biting back?
Have!
It's far more meaningful than staying at home enjoying yourself and waiting to die, while the demons kill everyone!
At least that's true for the indomitable.
"Have you ever been to a demon city before?" Layton asked.
On a secluded mountain path, Shiloh, Sephiroth, and Layton walked ahead, with Airo, Sisley, and Lycorina in the middle.
An Yi walked at the back, while Milu moved to the side, not standing in the middle of the group, and was responsible for keeping watch.
Coincidentally, she enjoys being alone.
“I’ve never been there,” Hilo said. “Because I was very strong before, I couldn’t go to such a dangerous place.”
But things are different now.
The goal this time is not to kill anyone, nor to obtain anything.
The most important thing is...
Open the encyclopedia.
As everyone knows, every time a hero encounters a demon, he can automatically obtain information about that demon and display its data.
Prior to this, because the demon race was simply too powerful, humans were unable to directly quantify their strength.
However, with the Hero System, once the data is obtained, one can roughly understand the overall strength level of the city.
Once we have intelligence on the entire city, it will only be a matter of time before the heroes of the organization conquer it.
This is not just a simple intelligence gathering; it's a prelude to a counterattack!
“Actually, I think the risk is still very high…” Lycorina said with a wry smile as she followed behind.
"When is there ever a time when the risk of defeating demons is not high?" Hilo replied, turning his head to the side.
Lycorina shook her head: "We've defeated many demons, and the stronger the demon, the smarter it is."
The demons we're investigating have already formed a city; they must be incredibly powerful.
“I agree with Her Highness,” Annie said.
"Right?" Lycorina thought to herself, Annie really understands me!
"Hey, you guys are all level 30 already. I'm not afraid at level 23, so what are you afraid of?" Hilo frowned.
“Well… I don’t think they’re afraid,” Airo grinned. “It’s more like they’re cautious, isn’t it?”
Judging an opponent's approximate strength based on experience, and then deciding whether to fight them, is perfectly reasonable.
"Huh? I don't understand!" Shiloh sneered. "Let's fight first! If we can't win, we can run away!"
Anyway, with my strength and speed, carrying the three of you is no problem at all!
That gloomy woman only has 5 points of strength; she can't carry everyone, which is why they're worried they won't be able to escape!
Miluko: "?!"
Or... should I use a little of my strength?
Actually, the reason she didn't put more points into Strength is because with the Goblin equipment and the enhancement from Lycorina 3, her Strength can still reach over ten points.
If all else fails, switch to Venom Light Armor; the others will only lose 1 point of attribute.
She will still have nearly 20 strength and 40+ agility by then, which will be more than enough to help the other three escape.
Returning to the present, there was a reason why An Yi didn't strongly oppose entering the demon city.
Unlike others, he knew the strength of the city's "final boss".
They also knew the other party's identity.
Level 6 Demon: Sword Demon
[The Demon Baron: Ferdinand the Four-Armed]
Chapter 149 Let's go back to the demon prison and explain!
In their previous life, the enemy's intelligence was brought back by the three surviving members.
After Hilo and his opponent perished together, the three escaped through a secret passage into the mountains via a pre-planned route, and finally escaped to safety.
At the time, the intelligence they provided was—
The opponent is a four-armed demon who wields a sword; he is a level six demon.
Level 6 demons aren't actually considered "high-level" among demons, but considering the timeline back then...
Within a month of the system's awakening, many first-generation heroes were still dying or getting injured, and second-generation and even third-generation heroes were emerging. It was a time when even defeating level four demons was a problem.
【The Mad Blade Hilo】single-handedly defeated a level six demon.
This is why she became a legend in later generations.
Some might think that the hero possesses a very powerful special skill, making it easy to instantly kill a level six demon.
But the problem is...
这些刚到10级5甚至是10级以下的勇者，六有哪个能活着走到六肆级魔4族的面前2呢？
Even though the [Hero Alliance] was established ahead of schedule, most of the heroes have only just begun to fight against level three demons.
Moreover, in the previous life, everyone was still groping their way and taking all sorts of detours, yet Hilo killed a demon of such a high rank.
For the heroes of that time, it was simply unbelievable.
As for the demon's specific name, the system couldn't even recognize the characters above its head.
However, after humans studied the demon language, they found relevant information in this city and learned the name of the demon who was supposedly killed by Hilo and his title among the demons.
That is the name Annie knew: the Demon Baron, Ferdinand.
The other party is a noble among the demons, so killing them won't be so easy.
Even just running into the other person is a challenge.
In their previous life, Hilo's team's encounter with the enemy was partly due to luck; the demons underestimated their strength.
Related events may also occur in this lifetime, but...
However, this introduced new variables for An Yi and her three companions.
"If possible, just gathering intelligence would be fine."
That's what An Yi thought.
Killing a level 6 demon is useless.
The game of "occupying squares" will not collapse simply because there is one less good card on a square.
Their purpose in coming here was to gather intelligence in preparation for capturing the city.
At that time, this city, filled with demons, will become a "test kit" for a large number of heroes.
Many brave warriors can gain a lot of experience in this large-scale expedition.
In short, this will be the "first large-scale dungeon" that many adventurers will participate in.
The dungeon runs from clearing out the minions to finally fighting the boss.
If you bypass a large group of minions and go straight for the BOSS, the outcome might be like what happened in my previous life...
This directly led to the death of the Sword Hero, Hiro. (Ryu)
Lycorina felt the risk was too high and didn't want to come, and Annie felt the same way.
However, if you don't take any risks and just want to achieve the goal of gathering intelligence, then there is no problem.
An Yi doesn't plan to fight the level six demons in the short term. He wants to gather intelligence first, and then gather heroes to attack the city together in order to maximize the benefits.
Although he could contend with a level six demon, this place was, after all, territory, and the demons would soon send other lords to take over.
