The battle mech slowly landed in a dense forest.
This is the outermost part of the territory occupied by the three Beast Emperors, and if the mecha flies inside, there is a risk of being discovered.
Elizabeth looked at the watch in her hand and said to Bai Ye: "Just now the chairman sent a message that they encountered a large number of flying beasts on the way, so the progress has been delayed, and it may not arrive until tomorrow morning. ”
Bai Ye looked at the time: "In other words, we can only wait here tonight." ”
Elizabeth nodded, "That's right. ”
Flying beast herds are rare, but they can be very troublesome when they do come along. This kind of wild beast herd is often terrifying in number, as many as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and will constantly gather its own kind, which is very headache.
There have even been incidents where XCOM crashed while surrounded by a herd of flying beasts.
For the chairman, this herd of wild beasts does not pose any threat to him, the only problem is that it will slow down the pace of progress.
Bai Ye looked into the distance: "In that case, I'll go in tonight to explore the situation a little, and I'm better prepared." ”
Elizabeth said, "You'd better not go, those three Beast Emperors are very strong, and their senses must be very keen." If we alarm them, we will be in trouble to act again. ”
Bai Ye said: "It's okay, I'm just checking the route, and I will definitely not provoke those three beast emperors, and I won't look at it." ”
Elizabeth thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you are careful. If you mess up, you're a sinner for all mankind. ”
Bai Ye nodded: "I understand." ”
Elizabeth said, "Well, I'll protect the mechs around them." If you have any questions, feel free to contact with your watch. Also, I will be sure to come back by tomorrow morning. ”
Bai Ye nodded: "Okay." ”
After preparing for a while, Bai Ye directly followed the positioning on his watch, entered the reckless jungle, and headed towards the territory of the three beast emperors.
As for Bai Xiaohammer, he was still left in the mecha. After all, he just sneaked in this time, and he didn't want to make too much noise, and it might be a little inconvenient to carry the white hammer.
Elizabeth sat down directly next to the mecha and waited quietly.
The fact that Bai Ye was able to get the approval of the chairman to participate in this operation proves that Bai Ye is not a fool. Therefore, Elizabeth didn't ask too much about Bai Ye's decision.
……
In the middle of the jungle, White Night is speeding forward according to the guidance of the holographic map on its watch.
For White Nights, "sneaking in" is not a good option. Because he can neither teleport nor stealth, it is actually very difficult not to be seen by any wild beast.
However, Bai Ye didn't care, if he was really discovered, he killed all the wild beasts that came over.
Bai Ye didn't mind going in single-handedly and killing all three beast emperors. But before he could do that, he had one thing to confirm.
Bai Ye was moving rapidly directly under the cover of tall trees, and the occasional few beast soldiers and beast general-level desolate beasts didn't notice him at all.
The only thing worth caring about is that the desolate beasts above the lord level may smell his scent and catch up, or make a noise.
Bai Ye told Elizabeth that he would not alarm the three beast emperors, but he was actually lying.
Bai Ye's current target is that high-level beast emperor.
Soon, the trees in the jungle began to thin, and in some places the trees were deliberately destroyed, which seemed to be the work of these wild beasts.
The more you advance towards the central area where the beast is located, the heavier the traces left by the "civilization".
Soon, a complex of buildings appeared in the distance. The building, which is entirely made of stone, is a bit like the remains of human architecture from the Middle Ages. It's just bigger, grander, and different in style from human architecture.
It's like a miniature city-state built by a wild beast.
And in the center of the complex, a huge palace resembling a temple stands majestically. The palace was too conspicuous for White Night to ignore.
"Natpato...... You should be right in there......"
Bai Ye's face was a little solemn, and he walked towards the palace.
In the complex, especially around the palace, there are quite a few wild beasts patrolling. However, these desolate beasts are nothing more than guards in twos and threes, and as long as you pay a little attention, you can avoid them.
After all, most of the desolate beasts don't have too much intelligence, and the laws of action are easy to grasp. As for those desolate beasts with higher intelligence, Bai Ye deliberately avoided them.
Soon, White Night came to the vicinity of the palace and quietly sneaked inside.
The palace covers a large area, more than thousands of square meters, but the interior of the palace is not a single low-level desolate beast patrolling or standing guard.
Bai Ye quietly walked in, and walked towards the main hall of the palace.
Entering the main hall, Bai Ye stopped.
In the center of the main hall, there is a tall stone throne, and on top of the throne, sits a young man in a white suit.
From any point of view, he is just an ordinary person with a slightly melancholy temperament. But the huge red dot on the hunter's watch flashes wildly proves his identity.
High-level Beast Emperor.
The Beast Emperor and Bai Ye looked at each other, and both of them fell silent.
After a moment, the Beast Emperor spoke.
"Long time no see, White Night."
Bai Ye nodded: "Yes, Natpato, it's been five years." ”
Natpato, the Beast Emperor, smiled and stood up from his throne. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze instantly swept over Bai Ye's entire body.
"I didn't expect that ordinary child five years ago has become such a terrifying existence, and even I can't see your true strength clearly. So, are you here to kill me? ”
Bai Ye was silent for a moment and said, "Whether I want to kill you or not depends on your next answer." ”
Nat Pato put his hands behind his back and paced casually: "Between the two of us, there is no need to talk so much nonsense. If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. ”
Bai Ye asked, "I always knew you were a desolate beast. So I always wanted to ask, five years ago, why did you save me? ”
Natpato smiled and didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Would you believe me if I told you that I had never killed any human?" ”
Bai Ye was silent for a moment and nodded: "I believe it." But, why? ”
"Who knows? I can only say that I don't have any intention of killing humans. For me, wild beasts have taken over most of the world's space, so why should we exterminate humans? ”
Nat Pato paused, as if to think about how to put it.
"It's a thing, it's hard to explain. My wisdom is above all the beasts, so my thinking about certain things inevitably goes in ...... 'wrong' direction. ”
Bai Ye was silent for a long time, and then said, "I always thought that there were many desolate beasts like you. But only now do I have to admit that you seem to be the only outlier among the beasts. ”
Nat Pato smiled: "Probably because, I am the only high-level beast emperor among the desolate beasts. ”
