"Guess what I found!" Jing Chen raised his head excitedly among a pile of star beast corpses.

In the refuge house, it was two days since they escaped from the branch of the Dry Soul Ridge River.

Ling Yi retracted his sword and walked over. The corpse of the star beast in front of him was made of translucent glass-like material. If it wasn't for the touch of flesh and blood, it would look more like a handicraft.

"It's a hidden beast! A hidden beast!" Before Ling Yi could answer, Jing Chen revealed the answer first.

"What's the use?" Ling Yi replied concisely.

"It's recorded in the Encyclopedia of Rare Beasts that the talent is invisibility, which is extremely difficult to capture. If it doesn't become a corpse, only the consciousness above the star level can perceive it. We have picked up a big leak!" Jing Chen blushed, "The most important thing What's more, this is the triggering material for the teleportation array, I have a new idea!"

"This is your sixth new idea in the past two days." Ling Yi was troubled by his lover's endless inspirations.

Especially after picking up a bunch of star beast corpses for nothing, it seemed to open the door to a new world for the opponent's brain.

"No, no, the first few are not important!" Jing Chen roared.

Ling Yi: "..."

Every time there is a new inspiration, I will say this, and then I will abandon the previous one and focus on the current research until I find the next new inspiration.

So far, the research on collecting puppets, the research on the increase of the duration of the infection agent, the correlation between the improvement of the extraction efficiency of the dead mist grass and the flame temperature, etc., some of them have been studied halfway, and some have just started and lost.

Oh, these turned out to be Jingchen's new inspirations, but now they are ruthlessly abandoned.

Ling Yi had to remind: "Time is running out." Even with the blessing of the talisman array, the flow of time in the refuge house was slowed down.

"That's why my new inspiration is even more important! Listen to me." Jing Chen stroked the fur of the hidden beast, "According to our original plan, the infection agent has a short time limit and the refined products are limited, so it's best to release it at a unified time. "

Ling Yi: "Not bad."

"But we spend most of our time on the road."

Ling Yi: "..."

That's right, after they perfected the poisoning plan in the past two days, they were hit by the cruel reality.

It must be a large-scale star beast attack that can affect the demon invasion plan. Due to limited conditions, there are certain requirements for the time period for the delivery of infectious agents.It's just that the ancient abyss is too big, and it's unrealistic for them to deploy infectious agents in multiple places at the same time based on their current cultivation.

"You just said, teleportation array?" Ling Yi recalled Jing Chen's inspiration.

Jingchen nodded vigorously: "If you can use the teleportation array to transport the infectious agent, you don't have to worry about the time limit. You just need to keep sending the new past and let it continue to volatilize. And it's not just the teleportation array. Didn't it mean that the projection puppet's perception range was too large before? Small, there is no way to control it remotely?"

Ling Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his train of thought met Jing Chen's brain circuit: "Can hidden beasts solve this problem?"

Jing Chen's answer was: "Hahaha, I just said, one day I will spread the monitoring all over the ancient abyss."

Ling Yi: "..." That's fine, as long as you are happy.

With the inspiration from Yin Beast and Jing Chen, Ling Yi made adjustments to the next plan.

Including their current course of action, as well as the locations where monitoring and teleportation arrays are set up.

In addition, a place where the dead mist grass grows in patches has also been found, and it is still in the formation stage. With gathering puppets, the source of raw materials for the infectious agent is finally not a problem.

"Now conduct a [-]-kilometer teleportation test." Jing Chen pressed his hand on the edge of the teleportation array.

"I'll do it." Ling Yi grabbed Jingchen's wrist and put his hand on it: "Next you just need to concentrate on refining the infectious agent."

Jing Chen tilted his head to look at him, met Ling Yi's dark pupils, and slowly withdrew his hand: "The hidden beasts we picked up are only two, and the materials we can use are limited. This is the mother formation, and the sub-formation at the other end is very small. , a container ball that is only enough to transmit the infectious agent, input star power a little bit, and stop immediately when you feel the array symbol being activated, otherwise the array will be detonated."

"En." Ling Yi nodded, and was about to use his strength.

"Wait! There are too few materials, one drawing is missing one, and I can only scrap three for you." Jing Chen glanced at Ling Yi's handsome face, gritted his teeth, and said, "Forget it, five of you will have a chance to practice your mobile phone."

Ling Yi: "..." Oh, this world is based on faces.

Ling Yi input the star power very steadily and carefully, while Jing Chen squatted in front of the projection and stared at it.

The improved projection puppet has increased the perceived distance from the main puppet. After the current trial run, except for those that are physically damaged, there has not been a black screen due to the distance.

In view of the upgrading of technology, Jing Chen waved his hand in anger, and placed projection puppets in all the places where the teleportation arrays were set up.

First, it is convenient to observe the efficacy of the infectious agent, and the location of the teleportation array is basically near the star beast group, so it is easy to control the movement of various star beasts in the ancient abyss.

As for how to get close to the gathering place of the star beast tribe, and buried the engraved teleportation disk, it is all thanks to the collection of puppets.

The small projection that Jingchen was watching was peaceful at this moment, no living things passed by, only the wind blowing the sand and rocks rolling.

"Okay." Ling Yi's voice came from behind.

In the center of the projection, a metal ball the size of a fingernail suddenly appeared half a meter above the ground. After a while, it fell and smashed into the ground, blending with the gravel, inconspicuous.

"It's done." Jingchen said happily, "After half an hour, the shell melted, and the inducer came out, covering a radius of ten miles, and the volatilization lasted for three days. We will release another batch after three days."

"There are still fourteen days before the deadline to arrive in the magic city." Ling Yi spread out the map, "We have 63 teleportation arrays at present."

Jingchen looked at the origin marked on the map, mainly in the second half of the route from the demon camp to the demon city.

For the same reason, the ancient abyss is too big, and the time is limited. They don't have time to spend on the road, so they can only make arrangements nearby. They have done their best to make such arrangements.

"After infection, the breath can stay in the demon core for seven days." Jing Chen said, "Except for the monitoring puppets, the remaining materials are enough for us to lay about 170 teleportation arrays."

"Concentrate in these areas." Ling Yi circled a few areas on the map, "The only way to get to the magic city from all directions, the infection rate will be very high."

"As much as you can cheat." Jing Chen shrugged, "There is no money to buy and sell, and this wave is not a loss."

The two hurried on their way, and at the same time, they hurriedly refined the medicine, arranged the teleportation array, and collected the dead mist grass. They wished they could break it into several pieces.

On the small projection screen, a picture of the collection puppet harvesting is displayed at this time.

Since the sensing distance cannot flexibly control the collection puppets remotely, the two stayed at a place less than a kilometer away from the dead mist grassland.

Push the lever, and the shovel-shaped metal hand of the collection puppet in the projection screen is inserted into the ground, digs out the dead mist grass and the shallow soil, and walks to the nearest teleportation point with it.

The dead mist grass fell, and the teleportation array flashed, appearing in the refuge house.

Jing Chen has been waiting for a long time, and methodically lit the palm fire, separated the star plants, and extracted the juice.

"There are the last two plants. This grassland is about to disappear." Ling Yi manipulated the collection puppet to move around.

Two monitoring eyes are installed, one is fixed next to the transmission array, and the other is installed on the head of the collection puppet, which is convenient for observing the terrain.

Jing Chen poured the juice into a metal bottle for later use, received the last two plants of dead mist grass, stretched his waist at the end, turned his neck and stretched his muscles and bones: "Is this the last collection place?"

Ling Yi nodded, and controlled the collection puppet to do the aftermath. The fixed monitoring eyes were left behind, and the teleportation array was dug back and reused.

"It's a pity that the control pattern of collecting puppets is too precise, and it can't be controlled at a long distance at present, otherwise the dead fog grasslands are just leeks waiting to be harvested!" Jing Chen sighed.

If it can be collected remotely, it is completely possible to sit on the sidelines and let the collection puppets guard the area where the dead mist grass collection area may be generated first!Ah, of course, in that case, the teleportation array would have to be expanded, and the size used to transmit the infectious agent would definitely not be enough.

Ling Yi put away the controller and walked over, poking Jing Chen's forehead with his finger: "Greedy."

Jing Chen took advantage of the situation and threw himself into Ling Yi's arms: "But! Not to mention the infectious agent, the extracted treatment solution is really useful!"

After catching the person and touching Jingchen's dog's head, Ling Yi smiled slightly: "The teleportation array and monitoring eyes have been arranged, and we can go to see the magic city next."

……

In their plan, the last collection site was only half a day away from the magic city marked on the map.

So far, there are still two days before the arrival time given by the demon camp.

The preliminary preparations have been made, just waiting for the infectious agent to take effect.

All you can see is barren rocky wasteland. The hard land is mainly blue-gray sandstone, and there are fewer large-scale rocks.

In order to keep the refuge house concealed, Jing Chen used local materials during the journey, and roughly made several replaceable shells.

Well, in fact, it is to find a large rock to dig a hole and put it on the outside of the shelter. Since the two are not integrated, the outer shell cannot be shrunk with the shelter, and it can only be placed in a storage bag when not in use.

The only good news is that the infectious agent seems to be taking effect. Along the way, they found several corpses of demons who were attacked to death by star beasts, and the storage bags they carried were put in their pockets.

"Did you notice that it's getting brighter?" Jing Chen didn't even need to release his consciousness, he could clearly see the way ahead with his naked eyes.

And in the previous journey, in the ancient abyss, he was always in the boundless darkness.

"There is a light source nearby." Ling Yi looked forward.

They walked on the wasteland, and except for a few large rocks as shelters, they had almost a clear view of the front and rear.

This road is not a shortcut to the magic city, it can be said that it has taken a big circle.

This road was deliberately chosen in order to avoid other demons heading to the Demon City.

On the other hand, the terrain here is relatively high, and there is a fault barrier ahead, which is more convenient for them to observe the magic city and serve as a temporary stop.

"Could it be the magic city?" Jing Chen wondered, "How bright the light must be to shine here?"

After all, they haven't even seen the shadow of the magic city now, and according to the map, they still have to run wildly for a while.

"Not only the light, but also fewer star beasts." Ling Yi frowned.

Going forward for a while, they will know why the star beasts seldom appear nearby.

There is a vague pressure all around.

It was much weaker than the star-level corpses they encountered at the beginning, but for sensitive star beasts, this was a warning from the demons.

The two held tightly the bead that retained the power of the Wind Festival, and did not release it immediately.

This coercion is also scattered and extremely weak, more like a driving signal released, without destruction, it is not unbearable.

The two walked more carefully, but fortunately, the coercion did not increase during the journey.

"Here we are." Ling Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

At this time, they have reached the wasteland fault, and not far ahead is a cliff, and a thousand meters below the cliff is another wasteland plain.

The magic city, which took nearly half a month to arrive, is on the wasteland plain below.

"That's it? Magic City?!" Jing Chen's eyes widened.

The four fields of the Primordial Abyss are eternal night. At this moment, only the city on the wasteland plain emits a soft light, illuminating the surrounding thousands of miles like daytime.

To be precise, the city is a huge head of the demon clan. The bones of the city are the skeleton of the city. There are densely packed buildings with pointed roofs of different heights and other styles of houses on stilts. With the good eyesight of the two, they can see the buildings. The weird texture flowing on the outer layer, and the demons walking between the houses.

Of course, with the current distance, no matter whether it is the texture or the demons, you can only see a rough idea.

What is striking is that there is a sharp horn in the middle of the skull, without any building on it, only a purple-black vortex floating in the air at the position directly facing the tip of the horn, and the energy inside is twisted and circling, very similar to the previous Giant eyes seen on tall vines.

That giant eye peeking at the world of Duobao maliciously.

"We can't go any further." Ling Yi took a deep breath.

The two backed away in unison.

If you look carefully, you will find that the periphery of the demon city built with skulls is covered with a thin layer of air, a flowing translucent purple mist, forming a giant statue of atomized demons with only the upper body in the sky above the city.

There is no doubt that it is an extremely terrifying city.

Standing in their position and looking directly at the Demon City, they could feel the unconscious coercion increasing, repelling all non-Demons from approaching.

They put on a piece of demon skin, but the core was not changed, and they were also rejected.

Continue to back away until the magic city is no longer in sight.

Jing Chen took out the shelter, and the two entered.

The wandering coercion was cut off, and he was finally able to breathe.

"I wanted to go in and have a look." Jing Chen said regretfully.

Now it seems that it will not work, even if there are beads left by the wind festival, there is not much power left in it, and there is absolutely no possibility of supporting them to safely enter and exit the magic city.

But if you go in, you can't get out. In the end, Mr. Feng Chuan may come forward.

Thinking of this, Jing Chen was shocked in vain, so he decided not to die.

However, he quickly pulled himself together and released a gathering puppet outside the shelter.

Controlled at close range, this puppet can also do some things other than collecting, such as placing monitoring eyes.

The number of master puppets in the shelter increased to ten, projecting nearly a thousand projection screens.

In order to save raw materials for remote sensing, Jing Chen specially upgraded the size of the monitoring eyes, adjusted the amount of each raw material, and strictly controlled the placement location based on the position calculated by Ling Yi, finally allowing nearly a thousand monitoring points No black screen due to failure to sense.

There are still ten remote monitoring eyes on hand, and good steel should be used wisely.

As for the collection puppets that were just taken out, it is naturally a short-distance one that can be made as much as it needs.
