Chapter 235: Conspiracy (I)
Tazca, Lot, you two protect the investigation team, and use flashbangs to escape when you encounter danger, now stop the exploration mission and immediately return to the village with everyone! ”
"And this one for you too." Liao Qi untied the insect guide bottle on his belt and handed it to the young man with the bow and arrow.
Liao Qi calmed himself down quickly and gave instructions as soon as possible.
These two are considered to be the top combat forces in the investigation team, and with the assistance of the flash jade and the insect guide bottle, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
"Then Brother Liao Qi, you... You're going..."The two people who were named were suddenly a little flustered, and they were very uncomfortable when the command was suddenly handed over to them.
Coupled with the fact that they had also seen traces of trolls, the panic of the attack on the village left them confused.
Especially the elder brother of the young archer, Tazk, who had spent a long time with the trolls, knew very well how powerful those behemoths were and how violent their personalities were.
"Don't panic, I'll go back to the village immediately, but it's a little faster, you may not be able to keep up."
Liao Qi quickly turned around after a little explanation, and while he was talking, his body was already moving.
The gathering place was the first force he had cultivated on this island, and it had taken him a lot of effort, and Liao Qi would never allow others to destroy it easily.
Seeing that the footprints of the troll on the ground were still very clear, it should have only been a while, if he hurried with all his speed, it would be too late to save the scene before the other party attacked the village.
"Well... Good! ”
"Then Brother Liao Qi, how young do you have to be..."
Liao Qi's words made everyone's hearts feel a little more stable, but Lott was also a little worried about Liao Qi's safety, after all, no matter how powerful Liao Qi was, he was still a human being like them.
However, before the young man's careful word "heart" could be spoken, Lott felt a flower in front of him.
When he came back to his senses, there was still a trace of Liao Qi in front of him, only a strong wind generated by high-speed movement and two deep footprints on the ground.
This... Is that called being a little faster than us?
Not only Lot, but even every member of the investigation team behind him looked dumbfounded, speaking of which, this was the first time they had seen Liao Qi's strength, which... Is this still what they think of as a human being?
"With Brother Liao Qi going, it should... No problem, right? Lott swallowed quietly and asked the young man with the bow next to him.
"Ken... Definitely, right? Tazca also stammered, and had not yet recovered from Liao Qi's speed.
"Okay, you two, don't be stupid and talk nonsense, let's move quickly, we can't just count on Brother Liao Qi, we also have to protect our own village!"
As the elder brother, Tazk was the most stable, and after he pulled the two back, he first asked the members of the mining group to throw down a lot of burdens, leaving only the key materials, and then mobilized the villagers to start to return quickly.
...
...
The distance of the investigation team deep into the dense forest, it only takes more than ten minutes to recover it in Liao Qi's place.
However, along the way, he didn't completely run all the way, and it was not terrible that the trolls would walk towards the village, and the key question was why it caused the current situation.
Therefore, Liao Qi did not give up chasing the clues, he followed the footprints of the troll all the way, and after many traces became fresher and fresher as the distance between the two sides narrowed, Liao Qi slowly found some doubts and signs.
"This smell is..."
The trolls themselves are unhygienic and emit a huge stench, but Liao Qi can always smell a few strange smells that can't be said on the entire route of the trolls to the village.
If I had to describe it, it was like a mixture of spices that would whet your appetite?
Continuing to follow the clues of the strange smell, sure enough, all of them pointed to the location of Shen'en Village, and until the end, when he was about to leave the dense forest, Liao Qi finally found clues again.
There are four or five troll footprints on the ground, and if you look closely, you will find that on top of these huge footprints, there are also several humanoid footprints on top of them, apparently following later.
"What could it be?" There are many humanoid demons in the lower demon clan, and Liao Qi is not easy to judge for a while, but the whole process of events has a general outline in his mind.
Finally, as we walked out of the dense forest, the outer walls of the gathering place could already be seen, and beyond the walls were a group of tall giants of four or five.
Liao Qi's eyes narrowed, and he was a little relieved to see this scene, it was okay that the troll had not yet entered the village, at least there were no casualties, as for the after...
He's already there anyway.
After a little hesitation, Liao Qi still didn't choose to show up at the first time, he found a hidden corner to observe the situation.
Because whether it is the troll that will stop in front of the village gate, or the mysterious demon clan just now, it is necessary to keep Liao Qi in the shadows.
...
...
Gathering place, inside the village of Divine Grace.
Nana, an older girl, stood in front of the watchtower on the high platform, pretending to be calm and looking at the terrifying trolls on the wall outside the village.
Even though the village has been renovated and many defenses have been built, the walls surrounding the gathering place in front of you are one of them, but now they do not give the villagers a sense of security.
On the other hand, when a troll, far taller than a wall, poked its head out from the outside and looked inside, it terrified all the villagers.
On that day, people finally remembered...
The girl shuddered as the tallest and strongest of them all stood across from her, staring straight at Nana on the watchtower with its massive bronze bell-sized eyes.
"Human... Work... Food...", the troll leader muffled his voice from his mouth.
What the?
As the village chief, Nana was supposed to direct the battle and buy time for the evacuation of the villagers, although the development of Shen'en Village has been increasing rapidly in the past few days, no one has the confidence to directly face such a few behemoths.
But the troll on the other side stopped moving, just stayed outside the village and did not attack again, and even now, the words that suddenly popped out of the mouth of the troll leader made Nana stunned for a while.
Maybe...
Is there a turning point in the situation?
"Without my order, everyone should not take the initiative to attack, and the others should hurry up and protect the children, I... I tried to communicate with them, and they didn't seem to be very hostile to us. ”
Nana spoke quickly to the village guards beside her, and then the girl suppressed her fear of monsters, and she stepped out of the watchtower, standing at the top of the tower, and facing the leader of the monsters.
"You... Why come to us? ”
