Chapter 756: Green Skin (Pink Votes, 315 Votes, Plus Update)
When Changtian walked into the Foreign Affairs Hall, Ning Xiaoxian was frowning and contemplating, with two reports in front of him.
He walked up behind her and slowly rubbed her shoulder, with just the right amount of force: "What's wrong?"
She sighed comfortably: "The report just submitted, two copies were delivered one after the other, half a day apart. I always felt that there was some connection between them. You look at this one first. ”
Changtian took the paperwork she handed over and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Near the Red Cloud Terrace, an unknown monster actually appeared?"
The report was written in the usual concise manner of the Hidden Stream, saying that in the past half month, there have been anomalous disappearances of mortals in the vicinity of the Qingshui Forest.
Originally, mortals took the initiative to enter and exit the deep mountains and old forests to take a certain risk, and it was not uncommon for them to get lost, collapse of mountains and rocks, or directly fill the belly of tigers and wolves. But this report pointed out that in the first few days, mortals still disappeared in twos and threes, probably about six missing, and the others did not pay much attention. However, on the tenth day, the two small villages at the foot of Qingshui Forest Mountain, a total of forty-three mortals, also disappeared.
Two days later, people from neighboring villages came to visit the door only to find that the two villages were actually large and human, small and small livestock and poultry were all gone, and even the rats hiding in the house could not escape, and the bacon, eggs, wild vegetables, and bud rice hidden in the house were also looted.
Obviously, it was not the work of wild beasts, for there was blood on the ground, and there were fragments of clothing, but there was not a single piece of flesh or bones.
The monster can do it easily, but the problem is that this is the territory of the hidden stream, where does the passing monster dare to disregard the wishes of the landlord like this?
And most of the youkai don't bother to touch human food. The two villages were ransacked to the ground, and there was not even half a shredded meat left. In the words of an eyewitness, "Tip the clay jar over." Not half a grain of rice will fall out. ”
"The town closest to Qingshuilin is already in danger, and the mayor of the town has approached our local officials and asked Yinliu to help solve the problem. She was also curious.
It is not unprecedented, but the monsters who dare to do so will not end well, so there have been no incidents of monster attacks in the last two years. This is also the result of the strong control of the hidden current, a miracle that can hardly be done in the territory of other Immortal Sects.
Chang Tian knew that she sympathized with mortals. Therefore, this strict order is given to the hidden stream. Otherwise, rude youkai don't want to harass big cities, but it's not uncommon to go to the village to catch people and fight tooth sacrifices.
Judging from the report, the location of the disappearance of mortals. It is true that from the woodland and mountainous areas to the human settlements, it can be seen that the courage of these unknown creatures is slowly growing, and the appetite is also growing accordingly. If it is not addressed, more people will go missing, and it will cause panic.
The youkai of the hidden stream are not vegetarians either. So there's this second report on the table.
It is mentioned here. The two groups of demon soldiers sent by the hidden stream predicted where the monster might appear. Ambushed and guarded. After about a day and a half of waiting, these monsters blocked the village as they rushed into the next village to eat human flesh.
The appearance of these monsters, even the demon soldiers said that they had never seen them. However, their combat power is generally not high, and as a result of this battle, the demon soldiers killed twenty-five monsters and captured four alive without much effort.
These things can walk upright on their hind legs like humans, so the demon soldiers try to interrogate them in the language of humans and demons. It's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to understand, and keeps twittering. So the demon soldiers who were on duty brought them back to the Ba Snake Forest. At this moment, it is being handed over to Tu Duan for interrogation.
The vicinity of the Red Cloud Plateau has always been desolate, how can such an alien species appear?
Chang Tian picked it up and flipped it twice, and his pupils suddenly shrank slightly: "The skin is green, the height is only as high as the waist of a human being, the soles of the feet and palms are large, and the bones are thick? ”
Ning Xiaoxian looked up at him: "Have you ever seen this kind of thing?"
"I've seen it a long time ago. But seeing you again now is not a good thing. As soon as he frowned, his face became extremely stern, "Let's go, let's go and see the results of the painting." ”
……
Inside the Hall of Thorns.
The two leaders came in person, and everyone naturally hurriedly saluted.
Changtian didn't pay attention to it, only stared at Tu Duan, who had just come out of the torture room, and said, "Result?"
Tu Duan had just finished his work, but his hands were not covered with blood as most people imagined, but his whole body was full of refreshment. As soon as Chang Tian asked, he dodged out of the way and said: "These things don't know how to speak, and can only barely understand a few simple instructions, if you talk about their intelligence, they are probably about the same as a four-year-old child." ”
In other words, isn't this thing's IQ even comparable to that of a dog? Ning Xiaoxian walked into the gloomy torture room and saw a small monster tied to a special chair, and his first impression was that the body proportions of this green-skinned thing were very uneven.
It was almost covered with pieces of rag cloth, its head was large, its ears were large, its nose was large, its hands were only four fingers, but it looked flexible, its nails were grayish-black, it looked extremely sharp, and there were traces of scratching on the chair, which was obviously a corner made of dark iron, but it scratched several claw marks, and it was a little frightened in her eyes: even the blades of the mortal world can't scratch this kind of chair, but the nails of this little monster can?
Its feet were thick and broad, and if this ratio were applied to a human, the human would have to wear at least 60 sizes of shoes.
The monster still had sparse hair, and she had no intention of approaching it, because it looked dirty and smelled bad, and it looked like it hadn't been bathed in half a year. With her sensitive sense of smell, she really has to stay away from more than three feet so that she won't be fainted.
Seeing someone walk in again, the green-skinned monster cooed. Its eyes were not small, its pupils large and round, and now it was full of fear and cowardice.
She was curious: "Is this thing eating people?"
"Not bad. Tu Duan took a towel and wiped his hands, and seemed to hate the skin of this thing he had just touched, "Don't look at its weak and cowardly appearance now, when its number exceeds a certain amount, it will become extremely fierce." I've tried to communicate with it in six or seven languages, but in the end it can barely understand the passwords spoken in one of them. ”
Ning Xiaoxian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "What?"
"Ancient barbarians. ”
This thing...... Can she understand the instructions given by the ancient barbarians?She tightened her eyebrows: "It has something to do with the Mirror Sea King's Mansion?" "How could the King of the Mirror Sea or the Emperor Fu Ming put such a thing near the Hidden Stream's station? It doesn't make sense."
"Nope. I used the Soul Searcher. Tu Duan shook his head, and the green-skinned monster on the chair looked at him with frightened eyes, obviously having suffered enough just now, "In its memory, there is no picture of dealing with the Mirror Sea Palace, but some strange scenes. The place where it and its companions used to live was also barren, with mostly bare rocks and ravines, but I was pretty sure that it was not the Red Cloud Plateau, not even on the Southern Ganbu Continent. ”
This time, Lian Changtian also said in a deep voice: "Why?"
Tu Duan said slowly: "There can tan a layer of people's skin during the day, but it will snow at night, and the most important thing is that there are two suns in the sky during the day and two moons at night!"
The wonders of two days and two moons will not be found in the southern part of the continent. Could it be ......, "Is that another world?" Ning Xiaoxian was shocked for a moment, but Changtian was silent. He had traveled outside the world, and he had just returned from cutting through the void, and he was not as surprised by the outer world as she was.
"Although the land was vast, the land was reddish-brown, and it seemed that there were no crops to grow. This green-skinned monster is not easy to survive, and generally makes a living by hunting small animals, and there are less than thirty of them in the entire race. From its memory, I saw that there were some strange creatures roaming in the territory, completely different from the beasts on the Southern Ganbu Continent, but the temperament was also ferocious, and it would also prey on these green-skinned monsters, so these pickled things usually lived in the stone crevices and caves, hiding in the hiding place. By the way, their claws are sharp, they can cut through the soil and rocks, and they can burrow in the ground very quickly. ”
Changtian asked a strange question: "In addition to its own race, has it been in contact with other humanoids?"
Tu Du thought about it, shook his head and said, "No." It has lived only in its own rocky area for decades, and has never even set foot outside the world. ”
Changtian was silent, his eyes flickered, and after a long while, he said, "How did these things enter the Red Cloud Terrace?"
That's the point! If these greenskins are the natives of the outer world, why do they appear on the Southern Ganbu Continent? Why do they appear on the Red Cloud Plateau?
"Judging from its memory, about two years ago, a certain tribe went out hunting for food and did not return for a long time, and the other greenskins thought it was dead. It appeared when the moon rose, and as soon as it returned, it found the patriarch pointing fingers, and he was very excited. Tu frowned, apparently thinking about how to translate the mind out of the monster's mind, "to the effect that it has found a strange large hole, and when it walks past it, it has a whole new territory, with abundant food and no predators. ”
The other greenskins were suspicious, and went over to see if there was a big hole, but there were several powerful monsters roaming around, almost devouring them all. The patriarch was furious, and chopped off the rumor-monger and threw him into the wilderness. ”
"But after a long time, someone in the clan discovered the strange hole. This time, there were two green-skinned monsters who went out together, and they learned a little wiser, so one of them stayed to guard the entrance of the cave, and the other came back to bring the rescuers. ”
"Luck is for these little green-skinned monsters, the big hole didn't disappear when they came this time. Tu Duan pursed his lips, very disdainful, "Cut, the big hole, it seems to them to be a big hole, but I have inherited the knowledge of Yin Jiuyou, and I recognize that it should be a thing like a teleportation formation." It's just that the teleportation formation has to be activated by people, but these are likely to be naturally generated spatial gaps. (To be continued......)
