Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Taking into account the Holy Light system's restraint against evil races.

and its strong auxiliary features.

Zong Shen also believed that it was necessary to cultivate a strong person in the Holy Light system who was trustworthy and capable.

Aisia is the best choice in his mind.

But even so, Zong Shen still did not communicate with Ai Xiya in advance.

Because the desire to become stronger is itself a precious state of mind experience.

As for the two sisters, Madeleine and Mapel, if they want to be strengthened the fastest, they have to take the advancement route of the Avalon ranger.

From the perspective of the Dragonborn, we look for opportunities for the two girls to quickly improve their strength.

Ceremonies such as dragon vein baptism are more suitable for two sisters.

Zong Shen had actually thought about related matters.

He even prepared plans on how internal affairs officers like Mariel and Howie should improve their strength.

Don't even think about demigods for now.

But there is no problem in raising the strength of these confidants and the harem group to the legendary level before the outbreak of all-out war.

So Zong Shen chose to ignore Aisiya's complaint and desire for strength.

He focused on the platform in front of him.

There are six circular platforms around, which look more like specially prepared bases.

These platforms are distributed symmetrically.

They include inside the canyon, in the rock wall and above the rock wall.

Combined with the thick remaining chains on it, you can almost tell at a glance that this place is used for confinement.

The six chains can lock the limbs, neck, and shoulder blades respectively.

Of course, it could also be two wings.

Judging from the size of the chains and the circular platform, the guy who had been banned here was at least a hundred meters long.

Zong Shen came to the broken chain and reached out to lift it up.

A chain as thick as a human body is not too heavy for Zong Shen, who has thousands of points in his normal strength attribute.

At least he can hold it up relatively easily.

The runes on the surface of these chains are dim and appear blurry.

It seems that when the ban here was broken, the chain had lost its due effect.

The stone foundation platform at your feet was cast separately, and its material was completely different from the rocks in the canyon.

It should also be a special material prepared for the ban.

After thinking for a moment, Zong Shen stared at the thick chain and activated the strategy module.

I'm going to see if I can get any useful information.

Although much information about the Scourge cannot be discerned, some items with origins can certainly be viewed.

Under the influence of his thoughts, lines of subtitles appeared in a short time.

(The chain is made of the gray iron from the outer world. The demon-sealing runes on it have been destroyed by brute force and become blurred by the erosion of time, and have lost the effectiveness of the ban.

Through a special forging process, the fallen iron can be melted, re-engraved with demon-sealing runes, and made into a demon-sealing weapon)

…

These two lines of information explain the origin of the ban chain.

What made Zong Shen curious was the material of gray meteorite iron.

When questions arise in his mind, the information feedback given by the strategy module is also refreshed at any time.

(Grey Iron: A demonized metal that comes from the fall of the Demonic Moon. After being engraved with special runes, it can suppress chaotic magic)

…

Zong Shen was speechless.

What is the coming of the devil moon?

He immediately raised new doubts in his mind.

Soon new subtitle prompts surfaced.

(Every 9999 years, the Demon Moon Period will appear in the Endless Continent. At that time, the moon will emit a bloody red light, and all unintelligent beasts and warcraft will fall into madness.

At the same time, the blood moon will bring down many monsters, as well as some minerals of unknown origin. Gray meteorite iron is one of them. Since it is not in large quantity, it is not known to most people.

There are currently 3 years and 67 days until the next Demonic Moon Period, and each Demonic Moon Period will only last for 30 days)

…

Zong Shen looked surprised.

This damn endless continent is really a troubled place.

The chains in front of you can be recycled and recast.

However, the casting method is quite particular, and clues still need to be found.

Those who left the ban back then must have mastered the method of forging the fallen iron.

After Zong Shen checked the origin of the chain, he went to another stone platform to check the situation.

This stone platform is different from the previous stone platform in details, and traces of the altar remain on it.

It's just that the veins of inscriptions that once existed on the surface have been severely worn.

There are criss-crossing cracks everywhere.

Zong Shen walked around and soon found a bear-shaped mark on the corner.

There is also a note engraved on the edge.

[The one who banned this place: Great Demon·Black Decay]

It seems that what is banned here is a big demon named Black Decay.

You must know that the big devil is just a general term.

The strength of the starting legend, in terms of the title in the devil, is the level of the devil's heart.

But the upper demon hand, demon head, demon lord, and even demon king may also be called great demons.

After writing down the name, Zong Shen always felt that there was something strange about it.

Probably because this demon's name is rather unique.

Black Decay is more of a nickname than a proper name for the demon.

After gathering his thoughts, he looked at the bear-shaped mark again.

The feedback from the strategy module that followed quickly made him understand the inside story here.

(The Mark of the Bear Faction Demon Hunter: The mark left by the Bear Faction Demon Hunter, proving its origin and ownership.

Bear Sect Demon-Sealing Altar: A banning altar created using the Bear Sect's demon-hunting techniques. It is characterized by long-term continuous suppression, while absorbing the vitality of the banned target and converting it into life seeds)

…

The information is not too complicated, but it contains a lot of information.

Witcher?

What kind of force is this?

Zong Shen had never heard of this type of force, or the level was too high and too deep, and he had not yet come into contact with relevant information.

Or it is relatively secretive and unknown to ordinary people.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the demon hunter force is an ancient force that was active tens of thousands of years ago and is now in decline.

Specific follow-up investigations are required.

As long as the name is known, there will be a direction for investigation.

After all, the Endless Continent is so big, there may be some special and niche forces.

The Witcher is very recognizable from its name.

It is also straightforward and highlights the key points.

That's Demon Hunting.

Unlike the Demon Hunters, this seems to be another organization with a clear focus on demons.

As for the prefix Bear Faction, it should be one of the factions of the demon hunter force.

For example, magicians will also be subdivided according to the element system they are good at.

However, Zong Shen is not very clear about the specific abilities and differences of bear sect demon hunters.

But what is certain is that the demon hunter force will never be an unknown existence.

Since the other party had the strength to ban the great devil more than 10,000 years ago.

So even if it is not famous now, relevant records will inevitably be left.

His intuition told him that the demon hunters were powerful.

It should be a good hand in dealing with demons.

After squinting his eyes and thinking for a moment, Zong Shen quickly came up with an idea.

The closure of the Endless Continent is relative.

After all, this is a vast continent with multi-ethnic backgrounds and an environment full of brutal competition.

Under such circumstances, various forces or heroes will always be born.

As time goes by, many of them have been transformed into relics or some kind of hidden inheritance.

What Zong Shen has to do is to slowly unlock the secrets of this world.

Looking at the bear head mark on the edge of the stone platform, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

After two or three minutes of silence, he looked back.

Then he raised his hand and put the thick chains about a hundred meters long into the spliced ​​storage compartment.

Gray meteorite iron comes from the Demonic Moon and is a rare exotic metal.

Regardless of whether a special melting method can be found later, it is always right to put it away first.

As a handiwork left by the bear sect demon hunters, as long as the relevant inheritance information can be found, these chains made of fallen iron can be reused.

Several chains occupy 1 storage compartment

They are hard and heavy, and seem to have the ability to suppress chaotic magic.

At least Feronas Criminal, who was checking on another platform, showed a cautious attitude.

The stone foundation below can isolate perception to a certain extent.

After Zong Shen took away the chain, an extremely deep pit appeared on the stone platform.

God knows how the bear witchers cast the chains of fallen iron into the stone platform.

The depth of the pit is dozens of meters.

From this point of view, these stone platforms should be stone pillars embedded in the rock foundation.

Zong Shen quickly came to a conclusion and tried to keep these details in mind.

More than ten minutes passed, and after all six platforms were taken care of, he decided to enter the mysterious cave ahead.

The entrance to this cave is very spacious, and it can completely allow Lan Xiaodai in the dragon form to pass.

But as usual, Zong Shen still let Feronas, the iron-headed boy, take the lead.

Anyway, this guy is not afraid of death, and he is strong enough.

When Feronas entered first.

The black light curtain covering the surface of the cave rippled like the surface of a lake.

But it is different from the fluctuations of the portal.

What is certain is that the spatial position within it has not changed, and it is still in this demiplane.

I waited for three or four minutes.

Feronas the Sinner walked out slowly.

The excitement on his face faded, and there was a strange look on his face.

Lord, there is no danger inside.

Feronas Criminal chose to report to Zong Shen immediately.

Zong nodded and did not bring too many people in.

Lan Xiaodai definitely doesn't need to go in. Its strongest state is the dragon form, so it's not suitable for entering a relatively small and cramped area.

So this time Zong Shen chose the pseudo-demon Lilia to accompany him.

Let Hamis and Lan Xiaodai stay outside to serve as guards.

After getting ready, he and Lilia walked through the cave.

Shining like waves, as if squeezed into a membrane, they arrived at the cave.

The air here is relatively dry, and there are no obvious odors or traces left by demons.

Zong Shen had some guesses about this, but he had no words to express it.

It's just that his expression became more calm and calm.

Feronas brought a magic spotlight, and the bright beam illuminated the ceiling of the cave.

The first half of the journey was relatively gentle. After advancing for about a hundred meters, the passage began to slowly extend downward.

No monsters appeared to attack them along the way.

So the three of them moved forward very quickly.

Under such circumstances, it only took five or six minutes to reach the underground ruins crypt.

Zong Shen walked slowly behind, silently observing the situation in the passage.

Just as he guessed, the state of this cave was not normal.

To be precise, its situation is somewhat special.

It has neither been destroyed or reset, nor has it been eroded by time.

In other words, this is a demon cave shrouded in a special force field.

Along the way, some traces left by demons appeared one after another.

You can tell that demons once had their quarters here.

So this demiplane may not have been a serious demon execution chamber at first.

It's a secret base of the devil.

Thinking in his mind, he followed Ferlonas to the cave hall.

This is the core area of ​​the cave.

What catches the eye is a hall with an area of ​​several thousand square meters.

More than a dozen altars were arranged in various places, arranged in a strange formation.

All altars project huge black beams of light straight upward.

These beams of light come from the altar, but I don't know where they go.

They are able to penetrate the barriers of rock walls and appear to be incorporeal.

Zong Shen did not destroy these altars immediately. Instead, he frowned slightly and used the strategy module to observe them.

【Skinning Altar】

【Bone Altar】

【Eye and Tongue Altar】

【Soul Absorbing Altar】

…

【Grey Flash Altar】

…

The surfaces of these altars exude a dense blood light.

It seems to be the ability required to maintain the activation of the altar.

Judging from the name of the altar, it looks very much like those dark orcs.

Demonic wind and dark wind are often similar.

Except for the [Gray Flash Altar] which is in a dim state, the other altars are all being activated.

It emits a beam of light upward, as if sending some kind of signal to the void.

However, judging from the current situation, these signals do not seem to receive any response.

After a cursory observation, Zong Shen quickly came to a conclusion.

Each altar has traces of damage and repairs.

After visual inspection, I found that they are all special buildings belonging to the devil, but they are now in a state that cannot be activated.

Ignore these altars for now.

Zong Shen saw several well-preserved strange murals on the rock wall behind.

Not only are the lines drawn in these murals very clear.

The first mural maps the mountains surrounding the canyon.

Among them, the split misty mountains and misty canyons are particularly conspicuous.

The second mural contains several lines of unknown words, and they are not psychic words that can be read by thoughts.

It can’t even be translated through the strategy module!

There is only one possibility for such an outcome.

That is, these lines of text themselves have nothing to do with the Endless Continent and the Blood-Burning Demon.

The third mural is still a map, but it is just a supplement to the details of the first mural.

There are a few more marked points on it.

Two of the marked points were marked with asterisks.

Another marked point is circled.

The most eye-catching thing is the six-pointed star in the middle.
