Chapter 380: The Birth of the Ant King (I)
Ruan Chi smiled and said: "First of all, the first condition, well, in fact, this is not for myself, but the guy who hung up just now, and it is also the only condition for him to be willing to tell this information......"
With that, he spread his palms, handed a note to Duncan, and continued, "He misses you Knights of the Bloody Hand. Send someone to the Celestial Dragon Empire to rescue some slaves, the list is here. ”
Duncan took the note and unfolded it, it was indeed full of dense names, he frowned, but still put it away, and said, "If you want to go to the Heavenly Dragon Empire to save some slaves, this kind of thing will not be difficult to do, okay, I promise you." ”
"Uncle is really refreshing, so the next second condition is also my personal request." Ruan Chile smiled, and then handed over another note.
Duncan took it again, opened it as well, and saw some names still written on it, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Little ghost, do you really treat our Bloody Hand Knights as a thug?" ”
It turned out that what was written on this note was a list of elven envoys who had sent envoys to the Terran race, and the names on it included acquaintances such as Guldia, Elena, and Bilia.
In fact, Ruan Chi has been coming, Ruan Chi knows that Rachel is very guilty, and if it were not for the help of Guldia and them, Rachel believes that she would still be in the prison of the elf clan.
Therefore, Ruan Chi wanted to find a way to save them, and now that there was an opportunity in front of him to use the power of the Bloody Hand Knights, he would naturally not let it go.
Ruan Chi said in a tone of entrustment: "Uncle, I believe in your ability, as long as you promise to help rescue them." I'll tell you the truth. And definitely not to say less. ”
Duncan sighed. He smiled bitterly: "Okay, although it will be a little troublesome to negotiate with the elves, but I will give you ideas." ”
Duncan's meaning is obvious, that is, he agreed to Ruan Chi's conditions.
Ruan Chi was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately told Duncan and Yuffie the information he had heard from Sicaron's mouth.
The two listened silently, their expressions quickly becoming cloudy.
"Duncan, if the information is correct, then we must rush back to the Court of Liberty as soon as possible. Tell the boss of Donsted about this matter. Yuffie said.
Duncan nodded, obviously agreeing with Yufpe's statement, and since the opals of the dawn had already arrived, going back was naturally the first thing.
"By the way, do you want to go back to the Miracle Continent with us?" Before leaving, Duncan asked a few more questions.
"No, I have other things to deal with, and besides, I don't think the one next to Uncle wants me to go with him." Ruan Chi smiled and glanced at Yu Fei, who had an indifferent expression.
The female knight snorted coldly. Obviously, it also confirms Ruan Chi's statement.
The trio then went their separate ways, but they all had the same goal. It is to use the locator sent by the realm council to find a way back to the Miracle Continent.
Ruan Chi had found the passage on the other side of the depression before, but the depression had already turned into a devastated scorched earth under the destruction of the zombie ant army and Aluf, and Ruan Chi thought that the passage could not be opened in that kind of place again, so he could only choose a new location.
Luckily, the Realm Council doesn't have just one passage open at a time, so it's easy to find a new place.
Two hours later.
Ruan Chi appeared under a nameless mountain range covered with snow, and on a black mountain peak less than ten miles away from this nameless mountain range, a fast-flying figure descended.
"Lord Diane!" A zombie ant mutant with elven genes and pointed ears takes the initiative to meet it.
The figure that landed was the six-armed mutant lord who found Aluf's body, he folded his wings, placed the body on the ground, and then said to the mutant, "Ghosn, I want to see the queen." ”
The mutant named Ghosn saw Aruf's corpse on the ground, and his face suddenly changed, "Lord Aruf, what's wrong with him......"
At this time, the spider woman Luvia came out of a cave surrounded by a group of zombie ants, and when she saw Diane, her expression was a little angry, but when she saw the corpse of Aluf on the ground, she couldn't help but change her face and asked, "Diane, what happened?" ”
Diane said calmly: "When I found Aluf, he was already dead, and most of the ant army that followed him to patrol the Northwest Region was also dead, I believe those outsiders did it." ”
"Outsiders?" Luvia frowned, and said with a hideous expression: "Meon and Stella just told me a few days ago that the activities of those outsiders have been very frequent recently, and now is an important moment for the Ant King to be born, and they just entered the range of our Black Wind Mountain at this time and killed Aruf, which is really hateful." ”
Aluf is the lord of the zombie ant mutant, second only to the queen ant, and has jurisdiction over an army of hundreds of millions of zombie ants, and now his sudden tragic death is indeed not good news.
"Now it's imperative to gather the other lords back and report the matter to the queen, because I'm worried that those outsiders are still around." Diane said.
"Nope." Unexpectedly, Luvia here objected and said, "Now is the most important time for the birth of His Majesty the Ant King, and the Queen Ant must stay by the Ant King's cocoon now." ”
"How is that good, if those outsiders run to our Black Wind Mountain, it will also be unfavorable to His Majesty the Ant King." Diane frowned.
Luvia was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, call the other lords back first and then discuss it in detail." ”
……
Half an hour later.
The withered trees are all over several peaks, and the Black Wind Mountain, which is located at a very high peak, is the center of this withered sea of trees, where not only the temperature is extremely low, and the snow is covered all year round, but the peak is covered by a sea of clouds all year round, and ordinary people quickly find out where it is.
At this time, deep in the peak of the Black Wind Mountain, in a huge natural cave, all the lords of the zombie ants were here, they were sitting or standing, and the spider woman Luvia, who was in the center, was speaking in her deep voice: "Call everyone here this time. It's a very important thing. ”
A slightly mocking voice immediately rang out among the lords: "Luvia. Don't think that the Queen Ant is handing over command to you for the time being. You can call us as you please, and we won't be polite without a reasonable explanation! ”
Diane, who was standing on the side, heard this and said coldly: "Listen to me, Michelle?" ”
The lord named Michelle is a female zombie ant mutant who appears to have some kind of bird monster gene, with a female upper body and a feathered bird body on the lower body.
She snorted. said: "Diane actually spoke to Luvia, it's really rare. ”
As we all know, among the lords of the zombie ants, most of them have not been very kind to Luvia, and Diane's behavior is naturally strange in the eyes of the lords.
As a party, Luvia glanced at her, but said, "In fact, the reason why we have to gather everyone this time is precisely because Diane has found a danger to the safety of our zombie ant entire population. ”
"Luvia, what the hell is going on?" Mayon, who was sitting not far away, asked.
"Aruf was killed." Luvia said expressionlessly.
What the?
As soon as these words came out, the lords present all showed shocked expressions. A lord who knew Aruf well was even more agitated to his feet.
The man was as bloated as a mountain and looked like an upright boar. Not only is it blue-faced and fanged, but the voice is even louder and deafening.
He asked, "Luvia, are you joking?" How could Alouf have been killed? ”
"Diane, tell them what happened." Instead of answering the pig-faced lord's question, Luvia turned to the six-armed mutant beside her.
So Diane took a step forward, and under the gaze of those mutant lords, she told the story of the discovery of Aluf's corpse without missing anything.
"Bang!"
After listening to Aruf's narration, the pig-faced lord who was familiar with Aruf smashed his fist on the mountain wall next to him, leaving a huge hole, and he said with a hideous expression: "What are you kidding, how could Aruf die at the hands of those low-level outsiders, they are just a bunch of moving food, food kills people, it's a big joke at all." ”
"Yes, Diane, have you ever seen how Alouf died? Don't speculate. Michelle also didn't believe Diane's words.
Diane glanced at the two of them obliquely and sneered, "Although I haven't seen with my own eyes how Alouf was killed, but it's true that outsiders have been active in our lair recently, wasn't Meon's territory destroyed by unknown outsiders earlier?" ”
Michelle's expression changed, and she turned to face someone, "Meon, did this really happen?" ”
Meon clasped his hands in front of his chest, and he did not evade Michelle's question, "Yes, three days ago, the territory under my jurisdiction was indeed destroyed as it is believed, and I have specifically reported this matter to Luvia. ”
"Yes, yes, I can prove this matter, Meon's nest is indeed served, cluck." There was a burst of cheerful laughter from the side, and it was none other than the bee girl named Stella.
Spider Girl also nodded, and took Styra's words and said, "Mei Yong mentioned it to me, but because of the imminent birth of the Ant King, I haven't had a chance to report this matter to the Queen Ant for the time being. ”
Speaking of this, she paused and continued: "In any case, Aruf's death is likely to be related to the recent frequent activities of outsiders, I summoned everyone here to let you strengthen your precautions, especially in this kind of bone joint, you must unite, once you find outsiders, you must report immediately." ”
The lords looked at each other and nodded half-loudly, only the pig-faced lord said disdainfully: "Anyway, I don't believe that Aruf will die at the hands of those low-level outsiders......"
With that, he walked up to the six-armed mutant and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Diane, I don't know how much moisture you said, but I want you to show me the way now, go to the place where Aruf died, maybe his murderer is nearby." ”
Diane looked up at her, "How's it going?" What do you mean by that you can't believe what I say? ”
"Don't mess around! Bolgarit! Luvia suddenly shouted the name of the pig-faced lord, and she said in a cold tone: "Don't forget that the queen ant has already ordered, so the lord is not allowed to leave his post during the birth of the ant queen, do you want to disobey the order of the queen ant?" ”
The Pig-Faced Lord's footsteps stopped, and when he turned around, the expression on his face became very eerie, and his eyes were full of red veins, obviously trying to endure something.
At this time, a man walked up to the pig-faced lord, stretched out a hand and patted him on the back, and continued: "Bulgarit, I know your relationship with Aluf, but now we have more important matters, and I want to avenge him After the birth of the Ant King, I will go with you." ”
"Meon, you ......" Hearing this, the pig-faced lord's expression slowed down, and after thinking for a moment, he finally returned to his place and sat down.
Luvia gave Meon a grateful look, and then began to assign tasks to the lords below, especially since the area he was in charge of needed another lord to go due to the death of Aruf.
When the arrangement was almost complete, Luvia was about to announce the disbandment, but at this moment, an abrupt rumbling sound suddenly came from outside.
Then the ground shook without warning, and even the stone walls of the cave trembled. At the same time, faintly, there was a sound of thunder and waves outside, and the sound became louder and louder, as if the entire Black Wind Mountain was in a storm.
Suddenly, a suffocating terrifying coercion suddenly struck.
Almost all of the lords instinctively showed expressions of horror, because this coercion was able to make them send a signal of submission from their hearts.
"This breath...... Is it ......?"
Luvia's expression of disbelief seemed to be both surprised and delighted, and she walked out of the cave quickly, and the other lords also walked out with similar expressions.
Coming to the outside of the cave, the eyes of all the lords followed and looked at the top of the Black Wind Mountain, only to see that there was an extra layer of black oppressive dark clouds somewhere.
"Zizi ......"
I saw that there was a loud thunder, and below the dark clouds, near the highest point of the Black Wind Mountain, ice and snow mixed with mud and rocks rolled down, and the whole mountain was trembling with a wail, and the ground shook violently, and huge cracks began to appear several feet wide.
Looking down, the army of zombie ants that were originally responsible for guarding the mountain actually poured out from the depths of the ground without the orders of their lords, all of them with their heads facing the direction of the top of the mountain, their heads close to the ground, looking like they were pilgrimage.
But this qiē did not make the lords feel out of shape, and what shocked them even more was that in the vast dark clouds on the top of the mountain, a low and strange roar was added, as if some beast was furious there, and with each roar, the thunder and vibration rose even higher.
"Poof!"
Luvia's eight spider legs bent and knelt down, and she looked in that direction, her eyes blazing and muttered, "It must be so, it must be so, our great king is about to be born...... He's coming into this world......" (To be continued......
