It seems that he has taken a fancy to this skill. This is not an unacceptable reason. However, Lin pointed to the cat next to him and asked: "In terms of this kind of infiltration task, they are smaller and more suitable than me."
"That's true. But they are too easily distracted by simply looking for tasks."
…
At the moment when someone was talking to the big moth, some cats were already whispering to each other and talking about their own things; some cats were jumping up and down, chasing the fluorescent scale powder floating in the air; some cats were even lying lazily on the ground, and Rolling around, completely ignoring that this was supposed to be a party discussing serious topics. And there are quite a few such cats.
Someone couldn't help but be speechless. That's right, it's simply a fantasy to expect a group of cats to be as sophisticated as an army, with one command and one action.
He sighed.
After agreeing to take on this task, Lin asked about how to arrange the follow-up arrangements if he wanted to set off.
The Moth King has a name, Jane Moss.
Luckily it wasn't called Mothra. Otherwise, you will have to wonder whether the gatekeepers of the other gates of the abyss are other Toho classic monsters.
The one assigned to follow him was an older but battle-hardened male cat, Hardy. Gray hair, covered with wounds, and a few bald spots. This was the cat that he was among the first group of cats that he followed. He killed a cat with a carbine and found his original hiding place. Fortunately, he used the flash technique to avoid it before he was discovered.
In addition to being one of the best among cats in terms of strength, it is also related to the missing Mao Ni, and is the biological uncle of that female cat. But for cats, some people have great doubts about whether seniority is useful.
It's not that there aren't other cats to follow, it's just that no matter which one it is, someone thinks it's a burden. If he didn't need a cat to win Mao Ni's trust, and he also needed a cat that recognized the female cat, Lin Lian Hardy wouldn't take him with him.
It is not difficult to persuade other cats. Under the instruction of Jane Moss, a human was responsible for carrying out the rescue mission, and was not trusted by the cats. Lin did not want to gain the trust of the cats, but asked him and Hardy to be the first wave of pathfinders, and Hardy would leave marks along the way that all the cats would recognize. A day later, the second wave of rescue teams set off again.
This has two advantages. If the first wave of rescue teams falls, they can still rely on the second wave of teams to rescue them. Of course, the righteousness to be said at this time makes the cats feel that they are the saviors who save everything. The first wave of people are too bad, so we can only put our hope in them.
Another advantage is that with the first advance team clearing the way, the cats in the second wave of rescue teams can save more trouble and focus their efforts in a more correct direction, which will help speed up the search.
Just two reasons that cannot stand up to scrutiny to someone, actually convinced them!
In short, faced with the task of rescuing cats, which is like putting out a fire, someone is forced to set off without being able to go back and get a good night's sleep.
Lin had nothing to prepare for, and neither did Hardy Cat.
Demon Moth King Jane Moss slowly raised her forelimbs, which had not moved for centuries, and pushed the boulder aside with the back of her sickle legs, slowly pushing it away. One of the eight gates of the abyss in Lost Land appeared in front of someone and the cats.
This was the first time Lin saw the Gate of the Abyss, he had only heard about it before. The closest I got was that I slipped away before the door officially opened, so in the past I only saw the door that was about to be opened but not yet opened. But now it seems that no matter which one it is, it is almost the same in someone's eyes.
The main material realm and the abyss of Lost Land are compared to the two sides of the valley, and the gate of the abyss is like a transportation channel connecting the two sides. I have seen it near the Tower of the Great Sage. The gate to the abyss that is about to open but has not yet been opened is like a single cableway. It is no problem to pass through, but it requires some courage and luck.
As the opening process continues to progress, it seems that the way to connect the two parties becomes more and more stable. The stable abyss gate in front of us is like a steel beam bridge that cannot be damaged by wind, rain, earthquakes or landslides.
The gate to the abyss that connects the two worlds in front of us is such a stable and safe road. If you want to go to another world, there is no risk of space transfer, just walk there.
The barrier set up by Demon Moth King Jian Mosi is not like a net or wall that covers the entrance and exit of the entire portal, making it impossible for people to enter and exit freely. The barrier in front of someone's eyes is more like a bad technological trap in some movies before time travel. It is a passage filled with light beams emitted by infrared electric eyes.
If the protagonist wants to pass, he has to assume various weird and shameful postures and slowly cross or drill through each beam of light in order to reach the other side smoothly. If it hits the beam, an alarm will be triggered and a swarm of guards will be called in.
But as the guardian of the lost land portal, the Demon Moth King could not be so gentle. Trigger an alarm? Call in guards? If you touch the barrier set by Jie An Mousse, you will immediately fall into an illusion. If you cannot break free from the illusion, your final fate is to die of thirst or starvation in the passage.
According to Jian Moss, in its heyday, the barrier here was so dense that even mosquitoes might not be able to fly through it. Nowadays, the layout here is sparse. Not only can cats and people walk, but even an elephant can pass safely.
However, these situations should be invisible to normal people. In other words, even during the period of weakness of the Demon Moth King, if an unsuspecting person advances straight through the channel of the Gate of the Abyss, he will still hit the barrier and fall into an illusion trap.
However, the barrier in front of him has been destroyed, that is, the barrier that was originally hidden and invisible has become looming in the eyes of ordinary people. As long as you are careful and move forward slowly, you can avoid all the barriers and reach the other side of the passage safely.
What Jie An Moss has to do is to restore the confidentiality of the barrier and put some effort into rearranging enough barrier traps. Even if it's not as good as it was in its heyday, at least it's not as full of loopholes as it is now. The team that rescues Mao Ni is to find the lost cat and evacuate from the Gate of the Abyss before Jane Moss completes these tasks.
Under the personal instructions of Jane Moss, one person and one cat successfully passed through the portal connecting the two worlds. In fact, this is not a necessary move for someone. However, Lin was happy to hide his clumsiness, pretending not to know anything, and followed Hardy Cat out of the gate of the abyss.
The gray cat was quite dissatisfied with having to follow a human. It also wants to join the second wave of rescue teams and save this human being together.
Lin certainly doesn't care what a cat is thinking. After walking out of the gate of the abyss, he just observed this famous place, but this was the land he set foot on for the first time.
Comparing the abyss with the most dangerous place in Lost Land, at first glance, there is not much difference, but the core part is quite different. The first is the mixing ratio of the air. The oxygen content of the air in Midi is greater than 21% of the earth, reaching 33%, which is about one-third. The oxygen content in the abyss is only about 11%, replaced by various sulfur oxides.
In addition to the air, the activity level of the eight powers is several times that of the lost land. If you grow up in this kind of environment, no matter how poor your talent is, you will still have the foundation of a magician. Someone thought so.
As for the scenery of the abyss, I won’t mention it much. The same old scene of the end of hell made Lin want to curl his lips and feel sour about the world. You, you are really not creative.
But everywhere you look, this place looks like a magician's treasure house. Just pull up a root of grass or pick up a stone and you can find its magical function.
This can also be understood why Moth King Jie Anmos said that some gatekeepers are on this side of the door and some are on the other side of the door.
Are humans, or more broadly speaking, the Homo sapiens species in the Lost Lands, afraid of the invasion of demons? Of course I was afraid, otherwise why would everyone be as if they were facing a formidable enemy when the gate of the abyss was about to open next to the Tower of the Great Sage.
So are the demons afraid of the Homo sapiens in the lost land invading them in turn? Answer: Same fear.
Not to mention the history of Mystery, many empires in their heyday had carried out major counterattacks against the Abyss. Just say that the abyss is full of treasures. If the two places could travel freely, believe it or not, there would be magicians who would not do anything else but run to the abyss every day just to form groups to fight monsters and collect treasures. This kind of thing is not only seen in games. Look at how many people are poached on the earth.
However, the prerequisite for doing this in Midi is to build a strong enough defense at the Midi end of the Gate of the Abyss. Not only to stop the invasion of the demon army, but also to become the bridgehead for the invasion.
In history, only a few empires in their heyday could do such a thing and cause heavy losses to the Abyss. In the end, it was the demons at the level of the Great Lord who came forward to cripple and repel the invading empire, halting the war. Often this is a turning point in the history of an empire from prosperity to decline.
And this was also the reason why the Abyss side decisively closed the Gate of the Abyss after the Tower of the Great Sage repelled the invasion of demons and even destroyed the half of the Abyss Lord Deyanyuk. In the eyes of the devil, the Tower of the Great Sage is fully capable of serving as the bridgehead for the Midland counterattack. So let's cut off that possibility before things develop in a direction that the devils don't want to see.
Speaking of these readily available magic materials, they are nothing in someone's current perspective. Besides, I’m here to find the cat this time, not the materials. Carrying this level of magic material with you is a complete burden. So no matter what it was, Lin just picked it up, looked at it, and then threw it back to where it was.
Looking at the gray cat walking in front, completely ignoring him, sniffing here and there, looking here and there, Lin asked, "Have you found any clues about your cat?"
Because these magical cats all speak the common language of humans, Lin doesn't bother to use their language to talk. The gray cat Hardy said slightly dissatisfied: "I am trying hard to find the traces left by Mao Ni. If you can't do anything, just leave me alone and don't disturb me!"
Despised by the cat...
By the way, this seems to be a normal thing.
