Chapter 268: Heading to Devil's Mountain
It's time to go. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was no joint division, no oath, not even a word. Faeron just leaned back in the passenger seat, looked up at the system time in front of him, and then gestured.
"Let's go."
With Faerun's order, I saw a convoy just drive out of Futaba Town and head towards the depths of the wilderness.
Since there was no Eluka, Feren simply asked Maria to drive the car, and then did nothing himself......... Just like he was in the ninth district before a virtue. At this moment, Maria was nagging him about his destination, but Feren was not interested in this information, instead he was carefully looking at the convoy in front of him with interest.
The biggest feature of the convoy in the wasteland is that it is stupid and black, and the most used by various forces are trucks and off-road vehicles. The former can not only transport people and supplies, but can also be used as a wall to defend against attacks when attacked. Off-road vehicles, on the other hand, can be converted into combat vehicles directly with machine guns, making them the most suitable means of transportation in the wasteland.
But that's not the case with the people here, most of them don't drive off-road vehicles, but motorcycles -- and even bucket bikes.
Only a handful of people, such as Faeron, drove around the wasteland in off-road vehicles, and none of the big trucks or anything like that could be seen. If nothing else, at least in terms of maneuverability, this fleet is definitely top notch.
However, it is not possible to say that these people have made the wrong choice, just look at the demons who lie on the shoulders of their masters, sit next to them, or wrap around their masters, and you can understand why the people of Futaba Town are more inclined to take advantage of this convenient means of transportation.
"Any news over there?"
Feren withdrew his gaze and looked at Maria beside him as he stroked the black cat sleeping in his arms. He didn't want to deal with the bastards, so he simply blamed it all on Maria. And although Maria is very helpless, after all, she has been doing this all along, so there is no big problem.
"Libra has just sent out the itinerary, we need to go to Devil's Mountain, according to the plan, we will face the mountain from the south, and then turn in the middle of the mountain with a few other teams to report our findings. Then build a base here and continue to explore the surroundings......... I have already sent you the specific information. ”
"How do I feel that I'm not here to find some secondary creature, but to go out?"
After listening to Maria's message, Feren casually opened the message she sent, glanced at it hastily, and then opened his mouth to complain. And in this regard, Maria also shrugged her shoulders.
"In fact, looking for the second creature that existed was nothing more than an excuse. The exploration of Devil's Mountain is the most important thing, and you are new to this place, so you may not know the situation. In fact, there are a lot of strange things in Devil's Mountain, and the really strange things are not those man-made ......... here."
Saying this, Maria glanced at Delin, who was lying on Feren's knees and squinted her eyes to enjoy the touch, and pouted.
"Why do you think we have so many demons here?"
"You don't mean they all came out of this place called Devil's Mountain."
Hearing this, Faeron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, if this is the case, then it is really too interesting.
"Almost, at least these demons like to stay around Devil's Mountain, why do they .........?"
"She's right, master."
Before Maria could finish her sentence, Delin raised her head and glanced at the huge black mountain range in front of her.
"I also feel very comfortable here, in the words of you humans......... The air here is fresh, perfect for us to make the magic live here. ”
"Fresh air?"
Hearing this, Fei Lun sniffed the air outside, and he didn't smell anything special except for the peculiar smell of grass and trees in the forest.
"I'm just making an analogy."
Seeing Feren's movements, Delin also nodded lightly, and then curled up in a ball again.
"It's nice to be a talking demon........."
Looking at Delin, Maria also sighed in complexity. Although she has a good relationship with her Fire Phoenix, sometimes she is still worried about whether she will get each other wrong. If your own fire phoenix can also become a powerful demon like the cat-eared maid, then you don't have to worry so much......... However, the thought only passed through Maria's mind, and she continued.
"In addition, there are many interesting rumors, such as someone who said that he once found an energy crystal mine in Devil's Mountain............"
"Wait, what's that?"
"It's the ore of the energy crystal......... At that time, it caused a lot of sensation in Ten Towns, and at that time, almost everyone went out to find the legendary energy crystal mine. The result......... As you can guess, there wasn't even a single ghost hair, and the team led by the person who claimed to have seen the energy crystal mine at that time disappeared directly, and there was no response at all. And we also suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw from ........."
"Heavy casualties?"
"That's right, the third rumor of Devil's Mountain is that there are many mutated creatures here, especially in the mountain, there are countless mutated creatures there, and when we explored the energy crystal mine before, we did encounter several mutant creatures attacked, and there are even some terrible monsters that we have never seen."
With that, Maria slapped her frustration on the steering wheel, then glanced at Feren.
"So you get it?"
"Understood."
Of course, Fei Lun understood, originally he was still curious, the secondary mutant creature did not exist at all, judging from Maria's report, they had run all over the area during this time and did not even find a single bird feather, so how did the Ten Towns set the target area in this place called Devil's Mountain--Now it seems that this place has a long history.
As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, although it seems that the mountain seems to be close at hand, but when Fei Lun and his party really entered it along the mountain road, it was still more than half a day, because there was no sun, and the light became more and more dim. After entering the mountain road, everyone turned on the headlights and headed forward on a muddy dirt road in front of them. Kurona grabbed Franca's arm next to her in fright, and Franca's eyes widened with curiosity, and she smiled at the haunted forest scene in front of her......... She wasn't really scared.
"How long will it take to get from here to your destination?"
"About a day and a half......... To be honest, I'm more worried about ........."
And just before Maria could finish speaking, suddenly, Kurona, who had been holding Franca's arm tightly, suddenly straightened up, stared ahead with wide eyes, and then spoke.
"Commander! Someone is approaching! ”
"What?"
Hearing Kurona's words, Maria couldn't help but be stunned and burst into laughter. She didn't have a good impression of the little guy Kurona, but she didn't hate it, and seeing her so nervous at the moment, she quickly became amused, and said with a smile.
"Who could be here? ............ around here"
However, Maria's words were not finished, because at this moment, Kurona stretched out her finger and tapped it lightly towards the air. And then, the scene in front of Mary suddenly changed.
The originally dark mountains instantly turned into images covered by a grid, and then Maria saw that on the other side of the originally invisible mountains, dozens of bright red human figures were driving vehicles in the direction where she and the others were! This startled Maria, who immediately stopped the car by slamming the accelerator on the brakes, and then Maria turned her head and looked at Kurona with wide eyes in surprise.
"What kind of ability are you!?"
“…………… Ah............h
After seeing Maria's expression, Kurona reacted and let out a soft scream, and then quickly withdrew her ability. In fact, this is also a habit of Kurona, in the past, whenever she noticed that something was wrong, she would immediately point out the target to the others, and Eluka and Chrissy would also give action according to her instructions. As a result, Kulona noticed that someone was approaching just now, so she naturally habitually spread out the reconnaissance net first, but she forgot that there was still an outsider on her side, and she was stunned for a while.
"How many are there?"
Compared to Kulona's surprise, Faren seemed very calm.
"Big, about fifteen or sixteen people........."
Without waiting for Kurona's words to finish, Maria already knew what to do, she opened the window, whistled, and soon, with a soft groan, the fiery phoenix fell from the sky and landed on Maria's arm, tilting her head and staring at her. Maria, on the other hand, stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction that Kurona had just said.
"Go see what's going on there."
“――――!”
Hearing Maria's words, the fire phoenix nodded, then spread its wings and flew in that direction. Maria, on the other hand, retracted her head and drove the car on. Only this time, her expression became much more complicated. Originally, Maria didn't quite understand why Feren had to bring the two little ones Kurona and Franca, she was very strange before, but now, Maria finally understood. You must know that Kulona said that someone was approaching just now, but in fact, the fire phoenix found that the other party was still a long way away from herself and the others. But the little girl in front of her was able to perceive what was happening from such a distance?
Maria herself is also an ability, of course she knows how terrible Kulona's ability to induct is, and the walking human radar is a nightmare for almost all abilities, and you can't do it even if you want to, because everything you have is under the nose of the other party......... No wonder Fei Lun will take her with her wherever she is, such a young child, I am afraid that her ability to protect herself is limited, rather than letting her stay alone in the rear, it is more useful to follow herself.
I really didn't expect that this young man didn't look very old, but he was surrounded by some powerful characters......... Needless to say, even a little girl has such a powerful ability, but I don't know it.........
Thinking of this, Maria couldn't help but glance at Franka behind curiously, this little guy didn't show anything along the way, could it be ......... What special abilities does she have that she can't do?
"Knock Knock Knock !!"
Just as Maria was thinking, suddenly, a series of machine guns were heard in the distance, and the sudden sound not only broke the silence on the mountain. It made the originally nervous people even more uneasy at the moment. But Maria's face changed suddenly, and then she directly put the brakes, stopped the car, opened the door and jumped out of the car. Then Mary turned her head and looked towards the place where the gun rang out, and in a few moments, the former fiery phoenix flapped its wings and flew down from the sky, and threw itself into Maria's arms, groaning in grievance, and poking her head out to rub Mary's cheek -- it seemed that the relationship between the master and the slave was really good.
But this is also a matter of course, if the relationship is not good, so that the demons will not care about the life or death of your human race.
"Damn bastard!"
And at this moment, Maria's face is already pale, although the fire phoenix can't speak, but the two have a close relationship, even the cat slave and dog owner can guess the mind of his pet, let alone make a demon. Obviously, the other party not only found the fire phoenix, but even dared to shoot it with a gun?
I'm going to fuck these bastards......... Whoever it is, it's going to die!!
Thinking of this, Maria first glanced at Faeron, and after making sure that Feren had no opinion, she immediately gave an order with a gloomy face.
"Everyone, assemble in place -- get ready for battle!"
Hearing this, those residents of Futaba Town, who were originally a little curious and watching the excitement, suddenly became serious. I saw them get out of the car silently, and then quickly made gestures, and soon, I saw some demons scattered around under the command of their masters, and disappeared silently. While some of the demons were directly in front of them, forming a barrier. The fiery phoenix beside Maria also flew into the sky again at this moment, hovering incessantly, as if waiting for something.
"Boom............ Rumble............!! ”
At this moment, suddenly, a series of engine roars suddenly sounded, and then everyone saw that not far from their side, several armored off-road vehicles suddenly appeared, they were like beasts galloping forward, and then directly stopped all the way to the side, stopping in front of Fei Lun and the others.
"It's really interesting."
Sitting in the car, looking at the bandits blocking the road in front of him, Fei Lun couldn't help but touch his chin.
These people were dressed in a completely different way than ordinary wasteland dwellers, wearing strange robes and wearing white cloths like Indian asan on their heads. Each person has an AK in their hand, and it looks like a ......... Well, you don't need makeup to play 911.
"Believer's Town ..............."
Seeing these guys, Maria's face also changed, she obviously didn't expect that her side would encounter the people of Believer Town so quickly, but even so, she didn't plan to retreat, she said before that she wanted to help the fire phoenix get angry, the two of them are like sisters, how could they give up?
Thinking of this, Maria also looked indifferent and snorted.
"What do you want to do in front of us!"
"Hahahaha."
Hearing Mary's question, I saw that the bearded men suddenly laughed, and they waved the AKs in their hands, and they laughed as fierce as beasts. I saw that the bearded man led by one of them glanced at Maria disdainfully, and then spoke.
"Go away! Woman! You're not qualified to talk to us! ”
"You ..............."
Hearing the other party's answer, Maria was even more upset, but before she could speak again, the bearded man stretched out his hand and pointed at Faeron.
"You, come over to me!"
