The roar of beasts from the abyss began by a few, then by a swarm, and finally by the sound of all beasts.

The crowd lay on the ground and waited for a long time before the roar slowly fell silent.

Fergar stood up and waved his hand, motioning for everyone to exit the sinkhole.

Coming to the cave hall outside, Todd frowned at him and asked, "What are those?"

"Thousands of years ago, the Taylor history books recorded that it was an active volcano, but the Ulsters liked to call it the 'Gates of Hell'. Fogal moved cautiously, looked at the hole behind him, and let out a long breath: "No one knows how deep it is, but judging by the sound of the beast, there must be countless war beasts entrenched under the abyss. ”

Thinking of his own experience in battle, Todd asked, "War beasts, like that mutated giant wolf?"

Fugar nodded first, then shook his head: "That kind of monster wolf with a huge size is indeed a war beast, but it is only a war beast with the lowest level of threat. ”

"In order to capture war beasts, the Ulster Kingdom will look for some smaller vents around the pit mountain. Chop sick or dead slaves into pieces and place them there waiting for the lone beast to take the bait. Furgar made the shape of a fishing hook with his hand: "It's like fishing, using flesh and blood to lure out smaller beasts, and then capture them and keep them in captivity." ”

Todd listened to Fergal's statement, and his brows furrowed more and more: "According to your meaning, what is under this active volcano, no one knows at all?"

Fergar shrugged: "There were warriors in the kingdom who dived down from the cliffs to find out, but none of them came back. ”

Todd sighed in disappointment, he had thought that the Ulsters had mastered the method of cultivating war beasts, but he didn't expect them to end up using the method of capture.

Perhaps discovering the other party's disappointed appearance, Fugar hurriedly said: "Actually, there is a big discovery in the Ulster Kingdom about the secret of the war beast. ”

Todd looked at him and asked, "What is it?"

Fogal led him into the underground tunnel, making his way through twists and turns, until he came to a stone wall that shimmered faintly in the darkness. He raised his torch, pointed to the gap in the stone wall, and said to Todd, "Look. ”

The latter looked at it as he said, and only then did he realize that some black liquid was constantly flowing out of the stone wall.

"The Ulsters called this black water the 'Dead Spring'. Fergar took a few steps back and whispered, "This black water comes from the ground and is highly poisonous. Living beings, including humans, will die instantly once they drink the water from these springs. ”

When Todd heard this, he seemed to think of something, and his heart moved.

"But the interesting thing is that if it is a war beast that drinks this spring water, it becomes more ferocious and powerful. ”

Active Volcanoes, War Beasts, Blackwater...... Linking these things together, Todd already has a rough judgment.

There must have been a large number of "Sutherland bacteria" in this sinkhole, which was once an active volcano, and the beasts that lived here ate the food in the vicinity, drank the water around it, and unknowingly transformed into the inheritor-type beasts, and the sinkhole here is close to the Shadow Country, and the undersea currents brought the tyrant virus near the Crystal Spire to the surface, seeping out of the cracks in the rocks, and eventually causing the continuous evolution of the war beasts.

Todd, who figured all this out, suddenly thought of a question: "Fugal, these war beasts you have captured need flesh and blood as bait every time they are released, haven't they tried to domesticate them?"

Fogar shook his head helplessly: "We have tried to domesticate them as mounts and combat power, but in the end they all failed. These war beasts are fairly quiet when they are with each other, and when they encounter a creature outside the pit, they will immediately turn into bloodthirsty monsters. ”

Todd's ears suddenly caught eye on a very crucial sentence: "What do they mean when they are quiet with each other?"

Fergar scratched his head: "When we put the captured war beasts together, they will not kill each other, and even when facing foreign enemies, they will retain a certain degree of team communication and cooperation. ”

Hearing this, Todd began to recall the scenes he had fought with the beasts.

Whether in the gladiatorial arena or in the barbarian camp, there is indeed some invisible communication mechanism between these beasts, which allows them to identify friend and foe.

Todd crossed his arms over his chest and thought hard in his mind, what is the basis for the mutual recognition of war beasts?

Look, smell, sound, or something else?

Accompanied by the Xenomorph Society, Todd, who was meditating, left the entrance of the cave, and a creature appeared in his eyes, which suddenly lit up in his eyes.

Henry the griffon crouched on the ground, combing his feathers, and when he saw Todd's appearance, he spread his wings and chirped into the sky.

Thinking back to what happened to the Land of Shadows, Todd remembers that his first encounter with the griffin and manticore began with a battle. After that, the landmark event that really made these war beasts no longer offensive was the completion of the soul link.

So in other words, the soul link is able to eliminate the aggression of the war beast?

Thinking of this, Todd asked Fgar, "Are there still captive war beasts in Ancient City?"

The latter replied, "Yes, just below the cliff, there is a war beast farm. ”

"Bring a war beast here. ”

Fogar was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Todd again, he saw that the other party's expression did not look like he was joking, so he nodded.

Waiting for the Xenomorph Society and Fogal to pick up the beasts, Todd contacted the troops in the city and inquired about the current situation.

In total, more than 6,000 slaves have been freed from the yoke and the number is growing rapidly, more than two million gold coins worth of goods have been searched from the mansions and castle vaults and packed into boxes and shipped to the port, and the North Island Knights, who maintain order in the city, have prevented several massacres organized by slaves, but according to Evie, the freed slaves are pouring their anger and resentment on the city, and even if they go around, the Valkyries can only stop a small part of the atrocities.

In addition to the above information, there is another crucial matter that has been reported to Todd.

One tribe, when searching the slave trading market, found a large number of ledgers and notes from the vaults of the exchange, which recorded in great detail the involvement of the Church of the Father in the slave trade.

It is no exaggeration to say that Todd was ecstatic when he learned of this, and in his opinion, the evidence would be the best weapon to use against the church.

Todd immediately ordered the tribe to keep all the evidence in place and return it to the ship as a matter of priority.

After taking care of these things, the sun began to set in the west, and the stars began to twinkle in the sky.

Phogar and the Xenomorph Society, at this time, also returned to the clearing at the entrance of the cave with a giant wolf with a pointed bone.

Looking at the red-eyed, bloody-mouthed, aggressive beast, Todd slowly stepped forward.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Todd placed his hand on top of the wolf's head.

After a few seconds, the fierce light in the giant wolf's eyes slowly disappeared, and he looked at the human in front of him suspiciously.

Todd touched the top of its head, and the ferocious and violent war beast, like an ordinary domestic dog, lay on the ground and waged its tail.

Todd breathed a sigh of relief, the ability of Soul Link could indeed appease the bloodthirsty souls of the beasts and reduce their desire to attack.

However, Todd quickly frowned again, why did this happen?

Soul links, soul space, psychic aliens, and the identification of friend and foe of war beasts, these seemingly completely unreasonable things make Todd, who is still a materialist in nature, start to think that there must be a reasonable explanation behind these things.

If you can solve the secrets of these mysteries, you may be able to figure out the truth behind the whole world.
