Chapter 87
As the flying height of the Secret Eye increased, Pei Renli's sight also crossed the green tree crowns and mountain peaks. This allowed him to see an obvious 'arrow' shaped light spot in the distance. At a glance, he knew that it was definitely not a natural formation.
, too regular.
If you continue to raise your sight, you will see an eye-catching circular clearing in the forest below the location pointed by the arrow, and the ground has been deliberately painted an extremely conspicuous red, as if for fear that it would not be discovered.
After slightly zooming in on the sight, the arcane eye could see a large banner stuck in the open space, with the word 'End' written in Common Language.
Upon hearing this, Philuffy put down the remote sensing crystal ball:
"How far away? Where?"
Pei Renli pointed in the direction:
"The straight-line distance is about four to five kilometers, and we need to climb two bare hillsides. However, I saw a hole on the hillside. I should be able to drill through the hole directly. It won't take much time."
It is definitely good news to be able to confirm the location of the end point. According to the rules, only after collecting for 20 minutes and passing the end point is it considered a pass. After confirming the location of the end point, at least I feel confident.
But as the old saying goes, good news and bad news always come together.
"Sure enough, there are many people near the finish line..."
When the zoom function of the Secret Eye was stretched to the limit, he could see many people hiding in the woods near the finish line. Some were hiding in the bushes, and some were hiding under the branches of the thick canopy. Pei Renli also saw a buddy wielding a shovel.
He planned to dig a hole and sprinkle dead leaves on top of his head to hide it. He was not afraid of being stepped on on the head...
These were all poorly hidden. The ability of the Mystical Eye to see through invisibility allowed Pei Renli to see some people with faint magical auras on their bodies, that is, those who were in an invisible state. Besides, there might be others who could not be seen through the Mystical Eye.
ability.
A rough calculation showed that there were about thirty people hiding near the finish line.
If you want to complete the level in 20 minutes, you must reach the end, and if you do so, you will have to face the blockade of the squatting demon king. They are likely to attack everyone who tries to enter the end.
So just collecting enough for 20 minutes is not enough, you must find a way to break through.
Even if everyone is not strong, this number is still very difficult. Pei Renli definitely doesn't have to panic when fighting alone, but he can't be tough when facing the siege of thirty people.
It would be best to have something eye-catching to attract most people's attention, and then Perrenli and Philuffy would take the opportunity to break in.
And the best for bait…
After taking stock of the scrolls on hand, Pei Renli felt that the most suitable one would be to summon creatures.
Just like the 9 giant eagles he encountered before, Pei Renli also knows the "Monster Summoning Technique", and it was made into a scroll. The problem is that he can only summon one, and the effect of attracting attention is very limited.
, it may even alert the devils lurking near the finish line.
Even if it can fly, I'm afraid it will be shot down. It's really troublesome to get through the blockade.
After asking Philuffy, there was no better way. Although goblin magic also has the ability to summon helpers, the helpers Philuffy can bring now are all the size of a palm, similar to the little goblins that appear in fairy tale books.
Not to mention attracting attention, it can only be regarded as a vase at best.
Scratching his hair, Pei Renli gave up thinking about it for the time being. In short, he had already confirmed the finish line, so he should finish the remaining 10 points first. As for how to get to the finish line, he could wait for the opportunity.
At this time Philuffy suggested:
"Would you like to also see where your target is?"
"Look, idleness is idleness."
As I said just now, neither of them has the ability to locate themselves through the screen, so they are just idle.
Philuffy quickly activated the remote sensing crystal ball again, and the rotating fog inside dispersed as quickly as ever, revealing a clear image.
This time, the two saw a guy wearing heavy black armor. His whole body was wrapped in metal plates. His scarlet cloak was slowly fluttering in the breeze. The only thing exposed was his head, because this man was not wearing any clothes.
helmet.
He looks about the same age as Pei Renli. He is a very average-looking young man, the kind who would not be able to be found in a crowd.
Unlike all the devils that Pei Renli and the others had encountered, this guy was very upright and pinned the number plate with '56' on the collar of his cloak.
If he is not a simple idiot, then he is extremely confident in his strength.
However, apart from these images, Pei Renli did not get any more information, and it was impossible to locate the person based on the scenery around him.
The next second, the person in the picture turned around suddenly, as if he felt someone was peeping, his eyes seemed to be able to pass through the remote sensing crystal ball, and he looked at Perrenli and Phil Fei.
This is actually just an illusion. People who are monitored by the remote sensing crystal ball will have a strong sense of being spied on and are very easy to be discovered.
Normally in this case, one would either use magic to cover it up, or secretly search for the source of the sense of voyeurism in confusion, but this time, Perrenli and Philuffy saw different operations.
The armored man turned around and took out an identical cyan crystal ball from his arms...
Almost at the same time, Pei Renli also felt a strong sense of voyeurism, as if someone was staring viciously at his back.
"Anti-evil magic circle!"
The Swift Light Staff struck the ground, and a beautiful circle of golden aura quickly emerged from beneath their feet, forming a dense magic circle that enveloped the two of them.
The image of the remote sensing crystal ball also disappeared at that moment.
The Swift Light Staff has the ability to activate the anti-evil magic circle once a day. Not only does it consume no magic power, but the activation speed is much faster than casting a spell.
"It's impossible to locate it anyway, so there's no need to react so big, right?"
It is easy to defend against the remote-sensing crystal ball. Any protection school's spell can prevent people from prying at it. There is no need to use an anti-evil magic circle. Pei Renli's reaction was so intense that Philfi felt a little confused.
Pei Renli did not answer, but asked:
"Did you feel like you were being spied on just now?"
"No, what's the matter..."
Speaking of this, Philuffy's eyes widened.
"The person in the picture is probably not using a remote sensing crystal ball to see who is spying on him."
"Is he also using the remote sensing crystal ball to find the target number plate?"
Pointing to his nose, Pei Renli said:
"It should be right, his target is me."
Pei Renli's target was No. 56, but the target of No. 56 was also Pei Renli...
"Then there's no need to use the anti-evil magic circle, right?"
"No, it's very necessary. Although the feeling of peeping is gone, I feel like I'm being positioned."
It's hard to explain this feeling clearly. Pei Renli's judgment was based on the vague sting that he felt from the beginning of the danger, as if to remind him that the crisis was approaching.
The anti-evil magic circle can prevent evil creatures from approaching or passing through, and can also prevent the spells or abilities of evil creatures from harming people within the magic circle. It has a very powerful blocking effect.
The remote sensing crystal ball's ability to peek is not strong. Although it is not professional, it can be easily blocked, but the feeling of being locked still exists, which is very bad.
Pei Renli hurriedly turned the angle of his secret eye to search for the image he had just seen on the crystal ball. After about ten seconds, he actually found the position of No. 56. Judging from the direction of his movement, he was indeed heading towards Pei Renli and
Philuffy's position came straight over.
About three kilometers away from them, No. 56 happened to walk into a forest clearing, so it could be easily spotted by the mystical eye.
Letting the Mystical Eye keep tracking, Pei Renli activated the Peeping Magic Eye again.
Four magic eyes the size of glass balls quickly flew into the sky and transmitted the images they saw to the magic screen in front of the meeting in real time.
Perrenli didn't know any magic to escape the lock, and he didn't know how far No. 56 could track it.
Running away quickly is not the best option, because looking at No. 56's attire, you can tell that his physique is much better than Pei Renli, and he might catch up with him when Pei Renli can no longer run.
So Pei Renli had a bold idea to find a suitable place to ambush.
The target of No. 56 is Pei Renli's No. 9, and Pei Renli's target also happens to be No. 56. It's true that prey always appears unexpectedly in the form of a hunter.
This is also the reason why he released the Peeping Eyes. He needs to use the advantage of the large number of Peeping Eyes to find a suitable ambush location.
It’s not surprising that there would be an ambush. After all, Perenli’s experience along the way convinced Phil Fei that what he said was true. Most new demon kings are weaklings. Peri Renli has a high chance of winning in a head-on battle, not to mention that there are
Advantages of location and sneak attacks.
Of course, just in case, the sneak attack location must not only be difficult to find, but also have a fast enough escape route. This kind of location...
The images sent back by the four voyeuristic eyes were constantly moving on the magic screen. In order to expand the search area, not to mention having to control the secret eyes, Pei Renli did not watch them too carefully.
However, Philuffy, who saw Pei Renli suddenly looking like he was facing an enemy, pointed to the leftmost screen and said:
"How is it here?"
It was a hillside with rugged rocks, next to a mountain peak that was corroded by rainwater and turned straight up and down. There were many places to hide in this terrain, which was like a natural maze like a small stone forest.
More importantly, there is no obstacle directly above. Pei Renli can use his secret eyes to monitor from directly above, which is equivalent to the map being fully opened.
Control the Peeping Eye to get closer, and you can see a cave at the bottom left of the mountain.
This hole may have been eroded by geological changes and rain. If you control the Peeping Magic Eye to move the perspective to the back, you can see that the back is facing the direction of the end point.
Tall peaks and mountain walls that go straight up and down act like barriers, blocking the way forward. If you can't defeat them, you can retreat from the cave, and destroying the cave with some explosion or something can also stop the opponent's pursuit.
Due to the distance control problem of the Peeping Magic Eye, it is temporarily impossible to confirm whether the cave is directly connected, but as of now, it is indeed an excellent ambush location.
