Chapter 1778: Intelligence
"Li Kejian said that he suspects the purpose of the Full Moon Man's attack on you, and I don't know anything about the Dark Skeleton Knight, so I still need you to explain, and then we will study it together. After a pause, he continued, "Of course, if it comes to what you don't want to say, you don't have to force it. ”
Zhong Hanliang's mood gradually calmed down, and he smiled:
"You two are the most trusted people of the deed owner, and we have nothing to hide from you. ”
Yang Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, everyone, every race has secrets that they don't want others to know. ”
Seeing the grateful look in Zhong Hanliang's eyes, Yang Yi understood that there must be some kind of rule or taboo in their race, smiled understandingly, and then pointed to the full moon man who was thrown aside by Han Zhong, and said:
"So, there's one thing I haven't understood, I learned from his mouth that the Dark Skeleton Knight should have lived in this Icefield Mountain Range a long time ago, why didn't anyone in our ancient human race know about your existence?"
Zhong Hanliang smiled: "It's not that no one knows, at least two people know, one of them is called Matt, he is the king of the mercenaries, and he once helped the inheritors of the Dark Skull Knight to retrieve their holy relics." Of course, he also promised not to tell people about our existence, and it seems that he is very trustworthy. ”
When Yang Yi and Han Zhong heard the name Matt, their whole bodies were shocked, and their expressions of surprise appeared, as cultivators, they also knew this great name.
Zhong Hanliang saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "You know this person? I think so, there are not many people who are so powerful in our clan, let alone mention." Oh, I'm sorry. Obviously, what he wanted to say was "not to mention such a weak ancient human race", but he suddenly remembered that his contract master and the two people in front of him were ancient human races, so he specially apologized.
Yang Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, in terms of spiritual power, the ancient human race is much worse than many races, this is nothing." I've heard of Matt, and he's a very famous person, a tough guy to deal with. By the way, you just said two people, but what about the other one?"
"I don't know!" Zhong Hanliang shook his head, "However, the holy relics that Matt recovered were stolen by this person, and they have not been ascertained yet." That person can steal the relics of the inheritor without knowing it, and no matter who he is, he is a respectable person. ”
Yang Yi also nodded, indeed, under the protection of so many Heavenly Spirit Clan masters, it is indeed not easy for anyone to steal the holy relics that are so valued without alarming anyone.
The curious Han Zhong opened his mouth, as a mercenary, of course he was curious about the so-called holy relics, and the person who stole the holy relics, so the pragmatic Yang Yi did not give him a chance to satisfy his curiosity, glanced at Han Zhong, and reminded: "I said man, I'm afraid that's not something we should care about." ”
Then he smiled at Zhong Hanliang and said, "I'll tell you about it in the future, I think this must be a very interesting story." So, as you just said, the Dark Skeleton Knight seems to be divided into many different tribes, are you, like the Celestials, often fighting in civil wars?
Zhong Hanliang shook his head and said, "There are only four races in the Dark Skeleton Knight, although there will be some small friction sometimes, but there will rarely be a battle like this one. At this point, he and Vivi bowed their heads together in some pain, and in this battle, they had lost almost all of their clansmen.
"Sorry, mentioning this again. Yang Yi said with some embarrassment.
Feeling Yangyi's sincerity, Zhong Hanliang and the two pulled their emotions back from their sadness, shook their heads and said that they were fine.
Vivi continued: "Not only have we rarely fought with each other, but we have always joined forces to defend our homeland, and all those who find us, or other races, either stay or or. ”
Speaking of which, both Yang Yi and Han Zhong understood that the reason why the Dark Skull Knight had been unknown was because all the people who knew about the existence of this race were either staying or staying or, as Wei Wei said. Kill.
Yang Yi frowned and asked, "Why are you doing this." Outside, well, it should be said that in the realm of the ancient human race, all the innate cultivator races get along very well, and I think you should be able to do the same. ”
Zhong Hanliang shook his head and said, "We are different from other races, at least those who claim to be superior races will not accept us races that can only hide in the dark night. Is it okay not to talk about this question?" there was almost a hint of begging in his tone, because of his current status, if Yang Yi insisted on asking, because of Li Kejian, he would have to answer this question that all the Dark Skeleton Knights were unwilling to answer.
Of course, Yang Yi would not do that, and then said with a smile: "Of course you can, so be it, you can speak for yourself, and you can not say it when you encounter something that you can't say." ”
Zhong Hanliang nodded gratefully, and slowly told the untold stories of the Dark Skull Knight.
"In the middle of this white mountain there is a gorge between the huge forests that are dark, with no sunlight in sight, and there is our home - the abyss of night.
"The Celestials and the Nightlings are very hostile to us for some special reason. In terms of spiritual power, we will not be weaker than any race, or even stronger, but because our people are very few, only three or four thousand, it is difficult to compete with these two races.
"But our ancestors could not bear this humiliation, and they had to come out of the abyss of the night to declare war on the Nightlings and the Celestials, even if they were faced with death.
"The Great Lord God of the Full Moon knows that they have too many people, and with the help of the ancient terrans and other races, we are no match for them. ”
"In the end, the four trialists resolutely sacrificed themselves, sealed all their spiritual power on the four ice crystal skulls, and placed a lifelong spell on us. ”
"The four sacred ice crystal skulls exuded dark spiritual power from the Lord God of the Full Moon, and the coverage of this spiritual power was centered on the abyss, all the way to the edge of the Satoyama Mountains less than a hundred kilometers. Without this spiritual power, we will die quickly, and this spiritual power can also weaken all the spiritual power of light. Of course, if the Ice Skull leaves the Night Abyss, its utility will also be lost, which is why we never get out of this mountain range. ”
"In that earth-shattering disaster, most of the races suffered unprecedented blows, and some were even wiped out, but we, under the protection of the ice crystal skulls, escaped this catastrophe, in the deep mountains, forgotten by the ancient human race, as for why the Celestial Spirit Clan and the Night People didn't tell you about our existence, this question is I. I'm so sorry. ”
"Five years ago, the Inheritors lost their Ice Crystal Skull, much to the horror of all of us, and even though it was only a piece that was sent back by an ancient Terran called Matt, all of us cannot forget the horror that it brought us. ”
"Now, five years later, the Ice Crystal Skull of the Lost Soul Clan is lost in my hands, but fortunately, it is still in the hands of the Dark Skull Knight. ”
"Destroy the Lost Souls? I don't know. I really don't know, we are the best of the clan in the annual competition, and this time we were suddenly assigned to this kind of mission, it was the first time in decades that I had participated in such a large-scale battle, and in the past our kind of warriors were always appointed to defend against dangers from beyond the mountains. ”
"The old patriarch's name is An Feng, and he is our pride, and I heard the elders say that he is the best warrior of the full moon people in the past. ”
"Don't let that snake come...... I said, I know everything you want to know!"
Yang Yi motioned for Han Zhong to take away the poisonous snake in his hand, and then handed the full moon man a glass of water.
The latter drank with a grunt, and then said:
"There are more than 300 warriors like us, and our team is responsible for dealing with the Lost Souls, and I think the other 200 must be dealing with the Inheritors and Frost People. ”
"The one named Shi Dangshang was brought to our team by the Second Elder before leaving. Do other clans have traitors?Then I don't know, there should be, although most of the inheritors and frost people are cultivators, not like us and the Lost Soul Clan, they are all strong warriors, but a hundred warriors can't deal with thousands of cultivators, I think, the old patriarch must have something we don't know. ”
"I saw the lost ice crystal skull, I was there when I killed the Great Elder of the Lost Soul Clan, it was really beautiful, if someone wasn't there at that time, I would definitely take it away.
"After finding the Ice Crystal Skull, the leader of our team personally took two people back to the clan, and then we were responsible for cleaning up the aftermath, I didn't expect them to be so tenacious, and they ran so fast when they completely lost the spiritual power of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, and we didn't catch up until here. You all know the rest of the story.
"Mr. Cultivator, I've said everything I know. Are you going to kill me? Thank you!, however, I want to say that you are no match for An Feng who avenged me!" Then the Full Moon Man let out a wild laugh.
Yang Yi recalled the words of Zhong Hanliang and the full moon man in his mind, and quickly analyzed the reason for the whole thing, but it seemed that the more he knew, the more problems he generated.
Also, he was not uncurious about the origin of the Dark Skull Knight, but he was concerned about Zhong Hanliang's feelings, so he didn't let Han Zhong ask, but he asked the full moon man this question again, and the result was still, although he had been frightened by Han Zhong and asked him everything, but as long as he mentioned this question, he would rather suffer once and not say a word.
However, he has sensed that everything is related to one thing, and that is the sacred object worshiped by the Dark Skeleton Knight, the Ice Crystal Skull.
Even the full moon man still couldn't help but appreciate it when he mentioned the ice crystal skull, this is a very strange thing, although he confessed, but it was said in the case of Han Zhong's terrifying torture and he couldn't kill himself, that kind of torture, let alone him, even if he was as tough as the Yangyi brothers, he might not be able to stand it. With a loyal person like him, after seeing the ice crystal skull, he can't help but have the idea of betraying the tribe and taking it for himself, so the charm of the holy relic itself can be imagined.
However, for decades, there has been no infighting among the Dark Skull Knight because of the Ice Crystal Skull, so why is there such a large-scale battle now because of it? Therefore, this reason should not be valid.
So, what exactly caused the slaughter of the Full Moon people?
