The sky was getting darker and darker, with dark clouds.
There was a rumble of thunder in the distance, which seemed to indicate the coming heavy rain.
The wind carrying the fishy smell gradually became violent, the branches that had been reborn due to the transformation of the world creaked, and the fallen leaves were rolled up and flying all over the sky.
Xiao Di covered her ears with one hand and unconsciously tightened Qi Lin's cloak with the other.
The increasingly thinner black mage cloak that set off Qi Lin's figure looked unsettling to outsiders like a lifeless body bag.
But in the child's eyes, this is the most reassuring thing in his heart.
Qi Lin quietly looked at Ren Que and others who were about to leave, and Lao Jiu's complaint came from the soul link: "Master, then Basluo sent such a thing to trouble us? Who are you looking down on! Lao Jiu applied Enter the fog and give it to the old boy."
"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. Put away your contempt and reflect for an hour." After Qi Lin replied, he waved his hand and brought Lao Jiu, who was floating above his head, into the space of the dead.
Through the report of the ghost sentry, Ghost Laojiu knew that the big snake came from the southeast safe zone, but in its view, even in its prime state, it was not enough to fill the teeth of the undead.
With the current strength of the undead under Qi Lin, to put it bluntly, he could rush straight into the fog and have a fight with Basilo.
Because it was learned through the Red-Eyed Demon Crow that the greatest strength of the Demon Seed Territory, which possesses the Lord's fragments, is reflected in itself, as well as the temporary gathering of the Demon Seed Tide, as well as the exploration and partial control of all Demon Seeds in the territory.
To put it in layman's terms, the number of demon species Baslow can control on a daily basis is limited, mainly based on the strength of the demon species being controlled.
According to Qi Lin's estimation, the number of demons Baslow can control on a daily basis is only a few dozen, and the upper limit of their strength is one level lower than the controller Baslow.
And the controlled ones will not be 100% loyal to Basro. If Basro dies, they will not die but will be free. And if they die, they will really die.
This is also the reason why Qi Lin was able to get information from the Red-Eyed Demon Crow.
Another interesting point is that it's not that Basro can't control demons that are as powerful as himself.
He can, but he doesn't want to and doesn't dare!
He is unwilling because if his strength is too high, the number he can control will be reduced.
I don't dare, because my strength is too high. Once out of Basilo's sight, the opponent will really be like "The sky is high, the emperor is far away, the sea is wide, let the birds fly, and the military orders from abroad will be ignored." '
Therefore, demon lords generally do not control demons whose strength is equal to their own.
Moreover, Basro also has a headache in the area of 'ideological education', which in layman's terms means trying to enhance the loyalty of his subordinates through a series of means.
From this point alone, Qi Lin's undead can be said to have completely crushed Basro.
The loyalty of the undead is eternal and they will fight for Qi Lin until the last moment before the soul fire dissipates. Even if they are captured, they will not reveal any information about Qi Lin.
In terms of quantity, there is no limit.
As long as Qi Lin has enough mental strength, he can fill the entire world with undead!
Even if the fog clears and the world expands ten thousand times, he can still do it!
There is no need to worry about the strength of his subordinates being too high, or their superior skills shocking the master.
In Qi Lin's estimation, Basro's biggest threat to him is the gathering of demon seeds.
Demon lords can use lord fragments to temporarily control large-scale demons within their territory. This kind of control has some disadvantages. For example, those demons with intelligence, such as Frog Woman Orochi, etc., they only need to spend a little price. Can be exempted from control.
Generally speaking, if a demon lord wants to command a demon species such as the Frog Woman, he must use inducement or coercion.
But even so, demons like Frog Woman are always in the minority.
A large number of demon species that only know bloodthirsty and cruelty gather together, and the power is extremely impressive.
However, this kind of gathering requires a lot of power from the lord fragments and a lot of time.
Qi Lin sent a ghost deep into the fog a week ago, hoping to find out what Baslow was doing, and then implement a beheading tactic.
After all, the harvest of a demon lord is very considerable even if you don't think about it.
Just a lot of experience can make Qi Lin jump several levels.
As for Qi Lin, who has the Space of the Dead, as long as he can touch Baslow's lair, he can parachute there and beat the opponent to death with a large number of undead swarms.
Because most of Baslow's subordinates at the moment are red-eyed demon crows. Those demon crows are the favorite demon species of the lords, and they are also a key part of gathering the demon species tide.
Under the volley of death archers, those weak magic crows were not worth mentioning at all.
But unfortunately, the ghost lost its sense of direction soon after entering the fog. After many attempts, Qi Lin discovered that the fog seemed to have the ability to change its direction.
In layman's terms, it's a fog where ghosts enter from the west, but when they return the same way, they may come out from the east.
Moreover, the fog seems to have some ability to absorb various energies. When the ghost is in the fog, the consumption of soul fire will be greatly increased.
From this perspective, in Baslow's view, the fog is used to protect humans.
Because Basro couldn't enter the human city through the fog.
But in Qi Lin's view, he is protecting Basilo
The joys and sorrows of man and devil are connected at this moment
Out of a sense of stability, Qi Lin temporarily gave up on forcibly entering the fog, and planned to wait for the 'protective mechanism' of the fog to dissipate before entering in large numbers to search for Basro.
The ghost spirits represented by Lao Jiu are eager to go deep into the fog, kill Basro, and then add a new milestone to the huge natural disaster army.
After all, as long as Qi Lin passes five levels, he can have a new summoned unit.
Compared with Lao Jiu, the ghost Lao Ten seems to be very satisfied with Qi Lin.
Maybe in Xiao Di's eyes, besides exercising, Qi Lin just sits on the sofa with her eyes closed and doesn't know what to do.
But in fact, Qi Lin was dispatching the dispatched undead in real time, and carrying out the soul descent, to inspect the work progress of the dispatched undead.
There is an interesting point here. Qi Lin once wondered whether, in addition to the undead field and other reasons, the reason for changing the lich was also due to the frequent use of soul descent?
However, Qi Lin has no more clues to think about this problem for the time being.
During Qi Lin's inspection, he accidentally discovered the situation of Lao Shi, who was responsible for tracking whether Qin Youyi was dishonest and thus exposed his information.
Since the undead do not need to rest, the 24-hour surveillance work on weekdays is handed over to two other ghosts such as Nineteen.
As the captain, Lao Shi either secretly read some books by himself, or secretly pondered deeply. Moreover, when Qi Lin went deep into his soul to listen to his inner thoughts, he also found that it summarized many interesting things. point.
For example, on the construction of base areas.
For example, there are seventeen specific operation plans for house-changing tactics.
For example, the no-fall plan.
For example, discuss the feasibility of techniques such as limb grafting to create new undead.
For example, the implementation plan of Tiangui’s suppression tactics.
For example, what kind of development direction will the collision of the Mechanic's machine and the undead produce?
For example, after the fog dissipates and all forces make a grand appearance, how can our natural disaster control the whole world?
For example, airdropping plague, controlling the enemy's dead, creating fear, etc. can cause extreme harm to human life.
When the ghost Lao Jiu shouted kill kill kill,
The little transparent ghost Lao Shi has already begun to think about the future.
Qi Lin was very pleased with this.
He is not a demon lord like Basro, who needs high-pressure coercion and inducement for his subordinates.
Qi Lin only needs to guide out the characteristics of each undead, then place them in the corresponding position, give them sufficient strength and trust, and let them develop. That is enough.
This is Qi Lin's advantage.
"Plant a seed and it will quietly take root and sprout."
"I'm really looking forward to what surprises you can bring me."
Top of building.
Qi Lin's often frowning brows relaxed a little unconsciously.
Within the soul link, real-time reports from ghosts are constantly coming.
Renque was still trying his best to ask Qin Youyi for information about Qi Lin in a roundabout way.
But Qin Youyi still shook his head like a rattle and said the same thing: "If you don't know, you don't know."
Qi Lin's face was expressionless. After getting the answer, he stretched out his increasingly skinny palm from under his black cloak and patted the child's head.
"Let's go, Xiaodi."
What you want to know is already known.
He could leave while the invisibility item in the cloak still had some time.
This purple-quality one-time prop is one of the few precious harvests Qi Lin has obtained in the past two months. It can be made invisible at any time and place. This kind of thing is a must-have for killing people and stealing goods.
However, this moment was used by Qi Lin to see with his own eyes the image of the devil whispering in his heart that had been mocking him.
When Qi Lin led the child into the dark corridor, the props in his arms turned into powder and disappeared.
Boom.
Boom.
The footsteps of two people, one large and one small, echoed in the dark corridor.
The child saw darkness everywhere he looked. His body trembled and he leaned closer to Qi Lin. His small hands tightly grasped Qi Lin's cloak, as if he was afraid that Qi Lin would abandon him at any time.
Considering the child, Qi Lin gave up the idea of summoning burning corpses to illuminate the dark corridors, and instead used ghosts to guide the path.
"Not afraid."
Qi Lin's hoarse voice sounded.
This made the child's big grape-like eyes smile like two crescent moons.
"Uncle, although you are a bit weird, you are so kind!"
Qi Lin didn't respond to him.
After a while, the child's voice rang again: "Uncle, I feel that you are so tired and busy every day. I once asked the teacher why grandma is so old and still sells vegetables for others. The teacher just said that it is better to be busy. , and told me to be more busy in studying. Later, the teacher said that if we can be more busy in studying, we can change the world!"
"So, uncle, are you so busy because you want to change the world?"
change the world?
Qi Lin casually replied: "I am not as noble as your teacher. I am just an ordinary person. I am not fighting all the way to change the world."
"What's that for, uncle?"
"In order not to let the world change me."
"Ah?" The child was puzzled. Qi Lin's words were beyond his understanding.
Qi Lin didn't want to talk to him about this, but he felt that the child's body was always shaking due to the fear of darkness, so he thought about it and changed his words: "Being yourself means being yourself, and you can do things you don't like. Say no and let’s see what I can do in life if I work hard enough.”
The child scratched his head, still a little confused. The long dark staircase seemed to be endless.
However, the child feels at ease if his uncle is around.
The child, whose body stopped trembling, mustered up the courage to ask about his previous doubts: "Uncle, were those people just now your friends?"
Qi Lin kept walking: "One of them used to be, but no longer."
"Ah! Why?"
"I took something from him and now I gave it back to him, so from that point on, we have never met or seen each other."
There was no emotion in Qi Lin's tone. In the past, there might have been a smile mocking her childish behavior, but now, there was no trace of it.
"Is it the scroll that Uncle Sunglasses gave him?"
"Um."
The child was a little confused: "Didn't the scroll disappear after being used, uncle? You took his scroll and gave it back to him. Why?"
"I took other things from him and asked your uncle Sunglasses to give him the scroll as compensation, so that I can have a clear conscience, be benevolent and righteous in everything, and be ruthless in the future, but there is something wrong with my mentality. , don’t imitate me.”
The child still didn't understand. He was very honest and asked, "I don't understand, uncle. How can a person who can be benevolent and righteous be truly ruthless? Isn't this contradictory, uncle?"
"Is it a contradiction?" Qi Lin said indifferently: "This is not a contradiction."
The child did not understand Qi Lin's words, let alone what Qi Lin said before about 'being yourself'.
Qi Lin's last words seemed to the child to be some kind of comfort.
The kid with out-of-the-box thinking suddenly thought of what Qi Lin said to him when he was afraid of the dark, when he was afraid of monsters, and when he missed his grandma.
Although those words were unmodified, the child could feel Qi Lin's comfort to him.
It was a kind comfort.
The child didn't know what he was thinking of, and he laughed and said, "Uncle, you are so good at comforting others, so you must have spent a lot of time comforting yourself, right?"
This sentence made Qi Lin pause, but soon Qi Lin picked up his steps again.
Qi Lin replied in a cold voice: "Don't show your cards at will just because you are in love for the moment. Talking deeply is a taboo in the last days. You'd better be able to digest all the good and bad alone as soon as possible, so that when you meet in the future No problem, you won’t be flustered.”
"Ah?" The child asked again in confusion: "Why do you have to be alone? If you are alone, you will be very lonely, uncle! We all need friends, need each other's company, and need each other's warmth!"
Qi Lin snorted coldly: "You open up your heart as soon as others pay attention to you. You think it's frankness, but in fact it's loneliness!"
Qi Lin then said: "However, there is also a good time in loneliness. Although the time alone is lonely, it is the most growth-oriented."
The child clutched Qi Lin's cloak tightly and wondered: "But if you don't open your heart, take the initiative to make friends, and don't respond to your friends, no one will understand you!"
Qi Lin replied calmly: "I'm lucky if someone understands me. If no one understands me, then just stay calm and act alone. It's no big deal."
"But how can you like it if you don't understand it?" The child's chicken coop-like hair became even more messy, and he kept scratching his head in distress.
What Qi Lin said sounded a bit confusing to the children.
However, the child felt that Qi Lin seemed unhappy.
The child wants Qi Lin to be happy every day.
Suddenly, the child's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something.
The child tugged at Qi Lin's cloak: "Uncle, I thought of something!"
"My grandma told me!" the child said happily: "She said that when I was in kindergarten, I cried when I came home one time. It seemed that the children in the same class didn't like me. Then I asked my mother, is it really true in this world? Does any girl like me?"
"Uncle, what do you think my mother told me?"
"I can't guess." Qi Lin walked out of the stairs and looked up at the increasingly gloomy sky, as if it was going to rain heavily.
"It's okay uncle, I'll tell you directly!"
"Mom said, of course!"
"Mom was only in her twenties when she first met you!"
"Hey hey hey"
A silly smile appeared on the child's face: "I felt very happy at that time! Even now, although my mother and grandma are gone, every time I feel sad, I feel very happy when I think of this incident! Because"
"Okay!" Qi Lin walked towards the safe house prepared for him by the ghost boss, interrupting the child: "I don't want to hear what you said later, because there is a difference between liking and liking. Secondly, now is the end of the world, and you are the last It’s best to grow up as soon as possible, not only your strength, but also your mentality, it’s best to change as soon as possible, others will not treat you differently just because you are a child.”
"uncle"
"Okay, until the end, you are not allowed to talk to me again today."
Qi Lin stopped the child's words, reached out and pushed the child to the far right side of the street, while he stood on the left side of the child and continued to move forward.
The child's cheeks puffed up and he looked a little unhappy. It wasn't because Qi Lin didn't let him speak. He just felt that his uncle seemed unhappy.
He wanted to make his uncle happy.
But he seemed helpless about it.
I don’t know what I should do to make Qi Lin happy.
Maybe the transformation of Xiao Di No. 1 can satisfy his uncle?
Well, my uncle would be happy with a mecha that can make its own buttons, right?
And my uncle seemed to walk every day. When he was in a hurry, he would always let his sunglasses uncle hold us and run.
Xiao Di No. 1 can be modified to give him the ability to transform into a fast-moving vehicle, so uncle.
Just as the child was thinking wildly, it started to rain heavily.
And Black Wind suddenly appeared on Qi Lin's left side at some unknown time.
The silent black warrior holds a sword in one hand that is feared by countless people in Nanzhili.
Holding a black umbrella in one hand, he stood beside Qi Lin to protect him from the heavy rain.
The buildings on both sides of the street were passed by by unknown demon species, and the eaves that could originally protect them from rain were gone.
The poor child was drowned in the heavy rain.
Qi Lin glanced at Heifeng: "I remember I told you that I don't need an umbrella."
Heifeng quickly lowered his head and did not dare to speak, but the umbrella in his hand was still firmly held by Qi Lin.
"Reflect for an hour, and prepare to be promoted to the gold rank after an hour."
Qi Lin put Heifeng into the space of the dead with a wave of his hand, raised his left arm slightly to catch the naturally falling umbrella, and at the same time exchanged it with his right hand.
Qi Lin raised his right hand holding the umbrella high, thus shielding the child from the heavy rain.
The heavy rain poured down, washing blood and dust everywhere.
Two figures, one large and one small, walked firmly towards the north.
It seemed that even if the sky and the earth were toppled, they could not stop their progress at all.
With half of his body exposed in the heavy rain, Qi Lin looked ahead, stepping on the bloody water and walking firmly towards the north.
There was a hint of violence in Qi Lin's eyes as he looked at the north, and he said silently in his heart: "You can't die in the hands of the demon species, you can only die in my hands. Wait for me, I'm coming to find you."
The soul link quickly ordered: "Order, Lao Shi returns and takes over the command of the first ghost formation. Nineteen and twenty, you two continue to follow Qin Youyi's relevant people and adopt a conservative strategy to explore the firepower deployment and other related matters in their base camp. If If there is important information and the soul link range is not enough, Nineteen will report back and Twenty will continue the investigation."
"I will obey my master's will!"
"Order, the second brother takes over the first mixed regiment and goes to the southeast base camp to stand by. I will send a black warrior team there later. They are at your disposal. Your mission is: if necessary, prevent reinforcements from the southeast at all costs. Beicheng.”
"I will obey my master's will!"
"Order, Lao Liu takes over the first Death Archer formation and goes to the southeast to find a hidden area to station and stand by. Later I will send a ghost team for you to dispatch. Your mission is: if there is a conflict with Lao Liu, immediately provide fire support. In addition, , when necessary, you can surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and attack the enemy's safe area so that they have no time to rescue."
"I will obey my master's will!"
"Order, Lao Qi takes over the second mixed regiment and goes to Beicheng. The boss will send a ghost to guide you at the specific coordinates. Just follow the guidance. Once you are in position, stay on standby."
"I will obey my master's will!"
"Lao Ba took over the second Death Archer formation and headed to the northeast to station on standby."
"I will obey my master's will!"
"old."
snap
snap
In the heavy rain, Qi Lin walked through bloody water.
The fates that affect countless people's futures radiate from here to all around.
And when Qi Lin was dispatching the undead, the child looked up at the big black umbrella above his head.
He turned around and looked at Qi Lin, who occasionally raised his eyebrows as he didn't know what to think.
For more than two months, Qi Lin would look like this most of the time every day.
At first, the child just thought Qi Lin was thinking about something.
But later, the child had a feeling for some reason: there seemed to be many people like Uncle Sunglasses living in his uncle's mind, and he seemed to be talking to those uncles all the time.
The child raised his head and wanted to say something, but when he saw Qi Lin's frown, he lowered his head and pursed his lips and muttered: "Busy, everyone is busy!"
There were many small puddles on the ground in the heavy rain. The child stretched out his short legs to draw through them, causing splashes of water.
"No matter who you talk to, your voice must be loud and clear, and don't avoid looking at people."
When the child heard Qi Lin's faint voice, he looked up in surprise: "Uncle! Can I talk to you?"
"Uncle! Did your parents teach your uncle this sentence?"
Qi Lin paused and returned to normal. He did not answer the child's question.
"Uncle! I just wanted to say that half of your body was wet!"
"Your hands look so thin, but why can't I push them?"
"Uncle, why don't you speak? Can't I speak?"
"uncle."
Under the child's wild bombardment, Qi Lin casually replied: "He is no longer a little boy who goes home when there is a bit of wind and rain. He is an adult who can stand in strong winds and heavy rains without changing his expression."
"Hey! Uncle, are you over eighteen?"
"Why don't you look that old to me?"
"A man is a boy until he dies. You will understand later. Uncle, I will always be eighteen."
"uncle."
The weather became gloomy, as if it was about to shroud the whole world in darkness.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by thunder that resounded through the sky, seeming to tear the entire sky apart.
People hurried on their way, with a rapid pace, trying to escape the heavy rain.
The human bird flaps its wings vigorously. Although it can barely fly in the rain, this will undoubtedly greatly reduce its safety.
But for the safety of the team at his feet and Qin Youyi, it was worth it.
"Huh? Skeleton troops?"
The human bird shook the rain off his eyes and looked at a group of skeletons in the distance with his square eyes.
It was a pure firepower formation composed of thirty death archers. Without numbers, they were temporarily referred to as the second death archer formation by Qi Lin.
"Why are they here?"
"There are no demons here?"
"There was no explosion!"
Renque was very puzzled. According to the analysis of the staff, these skeletons would only appear in places where demons were present.
What are they doing here?
Why is it moving so quickly north?
Immediately afterwards, the puzzled Renque saw the burning corpses of the brigade again. The bronze bones moved in a fan-shaped direction from the southeast side of the Death Archer to the northwest and northeast.
According to the analysis of the staff department, those skeletons are all evolved, and their strength is at least Silver level!
"His rough estimate is that there are more than 200 silver levels and more than 2,000 bronze levels."
There is also a group of Death Archers heading southeast.
Based on their direction of action, Renque made a lot of predictions. One of them roughly guessed that their original gathering place was centered on the Hechuang Industrial Park, forming an encirclement.
"hiss"
Renque seemed to have thought of something and quickly said in the headset: "Go ahead at full speed!"
"Ignore the damn rainstorm and demon seeds!"
"Full speed ahead!!!"
Except for the undead deployed to the southeast, the undead traveling north did not conceal their movements.
This was Qi Lin's deliberate move.
He wanted to alert others, so that he might get some unexpected surprises.
The undead quietly heading to the southeast was a surprise he had prepared.
