Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 62: Centaur Camp
The researcher in a white coat led several soldiers to move a bunch of strange objects into the tent.
Then the middle-aged man in a white coat raised his head and smiled, "I am Ling Youhua, the researcher assisting with logistics this time. Time is limited, so I will get straight to the point."
He picked up a green object from the pile of strange objects and said, "This is a scale armor made by simply cutting the skin of the 'Scale Demon'. It can provide you with some good defense."
Then he said: "Since we found that the bodies of the foreign demons would not dissipate after they died on Earth, our superiors immediately arranged for us to conduct research and experiments. We made weapons and protective gear with the body materials of the foreign demons, and finally discovered the following characteristics..."
Accompanied by Ling Youhua's detailed and quick introduction.
Qi Ji briefly summarized that the so-called foreign magic equipment has the following characteristics.
The first and most crucial one is that the foreign demon equipment has a "time limit" whose principle is currently unknown.
From the time the Outer Demon dies on Earth, within twenty-four hours, equipment made with its bones and flesh can be brought into the Outer Demon's desperate situation for use, but after twenty-four hours it will become a completely "dead object", losing the ability to maintain its form between the two worlds, and will completely dissipate like ordinary objects after the next "shuttle".
The second point is that not all forms of external demonic equipment can last for a full twenty-four hours. The more integrity of the bones and flesh is preserved, the longer it can last.
If it is a whole corpse of an alien demon, then it can basically last for 24 hours, but if it is a small section of a finger, it may not even last for an hour.
Third, the greater the extent of artificial modification to the corpse, the shorter the remaining duration will be.
There are many restrictions.
However, after all, a method other than star iron materials was found to provide equipment for the attackers.
Half an hour later, Qi Ji and several others entered the cross crack.
Like the outside world, the outer demonic realm is a vast grassland with exactly the same terrain, with a black sun and a blood-red crescent moon hanging high in the sky.
The whole world was infected by the darkness and bloody colors, looking eerie and terrifying, and anyone who was immersed in it would feel uneasy.
The grassland, which should have been lush and green, now looked like it had been burned by a fire, with only a barren scene of withered yellow and charred black.
After the five people passed through this place, they looked at each other and were silent for a while.
Several of them looked a little funny.
Each person wore a thick black, giant-horned bull fur armor with a layer of green, fine scale armor underneath.
The forearms and calves are made of large pieces of bones from giant horned cattle to form wrist guards and guards.
It can be said that he is armed from head to toe.
When multiple protective layers are worn, the breathability will become correspondingly poor.
If it were the summer on Earth, it would only be mid- and the afterglow of summer would not yet have left. Wearing protective gear in layers like this would definitely cause heatstroke.
But this is the outer demon's desperate place. Under the shining of the black sun and the blood moon in the sky, the whole world is filled with gusts of gloomy wind. Instead of being hot, it makes people feel gloomy and cold.
Wearing so many protective gear, especially the fur of the giant horned cattle, actually has a warming effect.
According to researcher Ling Youhua, after these materials are divided and decomposed, the time they can last is greatly reduced and can only last for a few hours. After that time, they will disintegrate when traveling through the world.
But if you don't travel through the world, it won't collapse even if the time exceeds.
Therefore, you don't have to worry about your equipment disappearing during a battle.
Compared to the others, Qi Ji had a large shield made from the skull of a giant giant-horned bull fixed on his left arm.
With the shield, his "Wolf Swordsmanship" can become complete and have the ability to attack and defend at the same time.
He looked up and could almost see the vast grassland in its entirety.
"Although no one has explored the route and drawn a map for us this time, the destination is extremely conspicuous due to the terrain." He raised his hand and pointed in a direction, smiling and saying to the people next to him.
Bai Tianhe, Yagyu Jubei, Yan Shouyi and Cecil looked in the direction he pointed.
In the distance, you can vaguely see a "camp" surrounded by wooden walls, which is estimated to be hundreds of meters wide.
"That should be the gathering place of the Centaurs, right?" Yan Shouyi said with a smile.
Qi Ji also recalled what Qin Zijin had taught them before they set out. Centaurs are herders among the foreign demons. They usually live in grasslands and survive in tribes. Their main task is to herd meat animals such as giant horned cattle to provide blood food for the foreign demons.
The Centaurs are good at charging and archery, and once they reach a certain size, they will be a force that cannot be ignored on the battlefield between humans and demons in the Outland.
"So, do you think this core outer demon will appear among the scale monsters, the giant-horned bulls, or the centaurs?" Cecil said with a smile.
"I think, most likely among these centaurs, or in other words, since there is no target now, it should not be a big mistake to choose to raze this camp first." Qi Ji said.
Yagyu Jubei touched his chin and then laughed loudly: "Then what are you hesitating about? Let's go!"
Bai Tianhe has always been a socially anxious kid. He doesn't participate in the discussions of the others at all. He just follows them in the end.
The Centaur camp is about three kilometers away.
With everyone's running speed, if they run quickly, they can reach the destination in less than ten minutes.
However, that would consume one's own physical strength and would likely cause other foreign demons to chase after him, so it was not a good choice.
After a brief discussion, the few of them decided to follow Xu Jianshan's advice and proceed step by step.
Sure enough, not long after they walked, they encountered a group of scale monsters behind a grass slope.
The scaly monster did not notice them, but sat in front of the stone pestle under the grass slope, swaying left and right, and occasionally letting out one or two shrill growls.
Qi Ji and a few others hid on the grass slope, secretly peeked out, and had a clear view of this nest of scaly monsters.
Among the group, Cecil, the oldest man, was the most surprised .
He is the only one of the five who has never actually come into contact with the outer demons.
However, they all tacitly kept silent, but silently raised their weapons and stared at the slope below.
The next second, Qi Ji jumped down first!
His action was equivalent to blowing the horn of an attack. The remaining four people reacted very quickly and immediately rushed down the grass slope, charging towards the scaly monster that had not yet reacted.
When several people were sprinting, before they arrived at their destination, they saw Qi Ji jumping out and landing among several scale monsters.
I saw the big sword in his hand spinning twice at high speed along with his body.
The next moment, all four scale monsters were chopped into several pieces!
"Is he extraordinary? He's too strong..." Yan Shouyi widened his eyes.
He felt that he had fully estimated Qi Ji's strength, but he did not expect him to be able to do this.
"I also want to say that he is extraordinary, but the facts tell me that he is still an 'ordinary person'." Yagyu laughed wildly, suddenly pushed off the ground and quickened his pace to rush into the battlefield. With a vertical slash, he split the scale monster that had just reacted into two halves. With the enhancement of the extraordinary factor, his physical strength has exceeded Qi Ji's normal state when he was on Earth.
But no one expected that after Qi Ji entered the outer demon realm, he could become even stronger. How much strength did he hide?
Taking advantage of the sneak attack, several people instantly killed the ten small scale monsters in just over ten seconds. Cecil and Bai Tianhe were scratched by the scale monster's claws due to a slight mistake, but they were unharmed because they were wearing thick multiple protective gear.
As they moved forward, they cleared out nests of scaly monsters on the grassland.
About half an hour later, several people slowly advanced to the vicinity of the Centaur camp.
Then they stopped behind a grassy slope and began to rest while secretly observing the situation in the camp.
Qi Ji recalled the information Qin Zijin had told him - the Centaurs would open the camp gate at a fixed time every day, and more than a dozen herders would leave the camp and go to the giant-horned cattle pasture to lead the giant-horned cattle back to the camp cattle pen.
That was the best time to attack the camp.
