Chapter 598 Breaking the Road
Chapter 598 Breaking the Road
The next few days were filled with thrills and tribulations. Four days later, when they had covered most of the ancient road, Sheli Yingdun, who was exploring the way ahead, came back and stopped Daha.
"What's wrong Sheli?"
After traveling for the past few days, they found that although the ancient road had been in disrepair for many years, it was still relatively intact overall. The only thing they had to worry about was not being able to find the remains of an inn to camp at night.
So Chen Cheng would not have thought that there would be any problems along the way.
After Sheli stopped Daha, he reported to Chen Cheng:
"Sir, the road is blocked ten miles ahead. A long section of the ancient road has been destroyed, and that area has become the territory of the Beast King."
The two people on Daha's back frowned when they heard this. The thing they had been worried about all the way finally happened.
Chen Cheng got off Daha's back and looked at Sheli and asked:
"How long is this broken road? Can we pass through it before the Beast King finds us?"
Chen Cheng frowned and asked.
However, Sheli shook his head and said:
"No, I've already traveled over twenty miles, but I still haven't seen any new ancient roads. The length of the broken road here may be beyond our imagination.
And if the distance is longer, there might not just be one Beast King entrenched here, but perhaps there will be more Beast Kings behind."
Sheli revealed the most dangerous situation.
Chen Cheng frowned and thought, then he looked at Sheli and said:
"Are you sure you can kill with a sneak attack..."
However, he shook his head halfway through his speech, because the Beast King could not be just one beast, he would have a group of beasts under his command.
Even if he was killed, the beasts would inevitably form a beast tide attack.
But Sheli said at this time:
"I know what you're thinking, sir, but I have to say that my current strength isn't enough to kill a monster as huge as the Beast King with one strike, because my sword isn't long enough."
Sheli waved the butcher knife in his hand. It was just a butcher knife. If it cut along the neck, it might not be able to cut the huge aorta of the beast king due to its length.
If he couldn't kill it with one strike, and the Beast King reacted, then with Sheli's current strength he would still be no match for the Beast King, and it was very likely that they would end up dying together.
Chen Cheng looked at the butcher knife and sighed.
At this time, Emil said:
"In that case, let's first return to the ruins of the post station we left last night. Then, Sheli, you can take the map and carefully explore the entire length of this broken road."
After hearing this, Chen Cheng nodded and took out the map that Emile had left with him from his space bag and gave it to Sheli.
Sheli took the map, then hid in the shadows and quickly headed towards the broken road.
Chen Cheng returned to the site of the post station last night.
"Don't worry too much. If we really can't get through here, I can use secret methods to contact the tribe and ask them to send an elder to pick us up."
Emile was also afraid that Chen Cheng would become mentally unstable if he thought too much, so he tried to comfort him.
Chen Cheng was not stupid. He knew that Emile did not use this secret technique when he was facing life and death. If it was used, it would cost a huge price.
"I'm fine. And even if we can't get through, then we can't get through. At worst, we can go south and take a boat across the ocean to Moonlight Forest."
Chen Cheng was talking about the only water route that the elves and humans still use to communicate. Emile originally came to the human side through this route.
As for Chen Cheng's pollution problem, the worst that could happen is that he would become a follower of Squidward in the space pocket. He didn't believe that Squidward, as a true god, could not deal with that unconscious thing.
The reason why this is regarded as the last resort is because Chen Cheng suspects that Squidward will also pollute himself, and in the mythology of Cthulhu, those believers will not look much better than the meat mountain monster in the end.
Moreover, Chen Cheng couldn't be happy at all when he thought about being enslaved by this octopus.
They returned to last night's campsite. Fortunately, they had not traveled far since their journey, so it was just around noon when they set up the tent again.
The pot was set to cook, and smoke rose. Not long after the meal was ready, Sheli returned from his stealth exploration.
Seeing Sheli coming back, Chen Cheng handed him a kettle and said:
"Drink some water before we talk."
Sheli took the kettle and took a few sips, then said:
“This road was probably created when two beast kings fought each other. The distance is about 80 miles, and there are two beast kings entrenched in it.
These two beast kings are the Tiger-Tooth Beast and the Golden-Haired Lion Beast, and their intelligence levels are average.
And judging by the situation, the two beast kings should be subordinates of the two beast emperors. They occupy one side of each other and are in a hostile state. "
After receiving this information, Chen Cheng and his team felt mixed emotions. At least these two beast kings did not live in harmony, so they might still have a chance to break through.
"Let's eat first, and then we can think of a solution after we finish eating."
Chen Cheng greeted him.
After the meal, Chen Cheng took out all the weapons from the space bag on his body. The space bag that the commander of the City Guard Corps gave him before he left contained a bag of the latest grenades and mines.
Looking at this pile of weapons, it was impossible to cause any huge damage to the two beast kings and their subordinates, but Chen Cheng still thought of a good idea at this time.
Then Chen Cheng told the two of them the solution he had thought of.
The general meaning is to let Sheli take Daha and hide at the junction of the two beast kings' territories, and then let Daha pretend to be a beast from the opposite tribe and attack the other side.
At the same time, Sheli can also hide in the dark and use grenades and magic crystals to create chaos. When the beasts between the two sides come to kill, he can take Daha and escape.
Although this strategy is extremely crude, it can be said that it would be easily discovered if used on humans.
However, when such a simple and crude method is used on these brainless monsters, and the two sides are still in a state of hostility, it is the best strategy.
After listening to Chen Cheng's plan, Sheli nodded, and Chen Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Whether we succeed or not depends on your seclusion. Everything depends on you."
Just as Chen Cheng said, success depends on Sheli's seclusion. If nothing goes wrong and he can successfully bring Daha to the border between the two tribes, then he will be halfway to success.
Sheli drew out the butcher knife and began to infuse his mental power into it, allowing the shadow demon to unleash greater power.
At the same time, Chen Cheng also came to Daha and asked him to wait and follow Sheli's instructions.
The Wind Wolf tribe itself is smarter than the average Warcraft tribe, not to mention that Daha is a special species. His intelligence is no different from that of an ordinary child, so he can understand Chen Cheng's arrangements.
Daha howled at Chen Cheng, as if telling Chen Cheng to watch out, he, Daha, would definitely complete the task successfully.
Along with Daha's howl, Sheli urged the shadow demon, and in an instant the man and the wolf disappeared in front of the two of them.
