Chapter 57: Sixteen Wealthy Families
The remnant sun hangs in the west, and the eternal night is already a luxury, only dusk.
The fiery wind howled in the wilderness, and from time to time a crack appeared on the ground more than ten meters deep, from which magma and flames erupted, a scene of apocalypse.
The four of Lin Yang walked all the way to the east, there was no obvious time passage on the dusk plane, and they didn't know how long they had walked, and a boulder suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Wait!" Lin Yang suddenly shouted, his brows furrowed, staring at the boulder in front of him.
The three girls stopped, and Anna turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"This stone ......"
Lin Yang had been staring at this boulder, the boulder was about the size of a house of several floors, roughly spherical in shape, gray all over, and lonely across the boundless wilderness, which seemed a little unnatural.
Suddenly, the stone loosened and shook off some dust.
"Run!"
Lin Yang shouted, took the lead in performing the afterimage footwork, turned into a blurred phantom, and ran towards the side front, and the three girls chased after him.
"What are you running?" Huo'er was a little puzzled: "Isn't it just a stone, what's there to be afraid of?" ”
"Look at the back." Ran a few kilometers in one go, Lin Yang said.
Several people looked back and couldn't help but be surprised.
This is a stone, it is completely a stone giant, and it has completely stood up at this moment, dozens of meters high, its huge lantern-like eyes emitted a miserable green light, opened its bloody mouth, and roared wildly in the sky: "Whoa......"
"The Stone Demon Man, from the Gerthhas plane, is one of the demon creatures of their plane, with a level of about 900, which is about equivalent to a master who has just entered the Holy Domain." Lin Yang explained.
"It's just a holy area, what are you afraid of!" Huo'er stuck out her tongue and said reluctantly, "I thought it was something." ”
"I know that you are not afraid, but your flame may not be able to deal with it, this creature, the defense power can be called terrifying, and the destructive power is not bad, although it is only the first time to enter the holy domain, but it has the ability to fight with the human legend, and the demon creatures of Gerthas have always been extremely strong, and they are basically able to challenge beyond the level." Lin Yang groaned: "And I let you run, it's not that I'm afraid of it, you look at the back." ”
Hearing this, the three girls looked back again, and their faces suddenly changed color.
In the boundless wilderness, three bright lights suddenly lit up from three different directions, rushing towards the stone demon man.
In the blink of an eye, three beams of light had come closer, this was not a normal person, strictly speaking, it was not a creature at all, whether it was a head, body, arms, or legs, all of them were square and reflected a metallic luster. Although they are not as tall as the stone demons, these three big men are already more than ten meters tall.
The four giant creatures launched a fierce battle, and the sky and the earth cracked, the ground was sunken, and the rocks were flying sideways, and mortals could not enter.
"What the hell are those three big guys?" Lily blurted out in exclamation, her eyes widening, "I've never seen such a weird creature!" ”
"This is a mechwarrior from the Eternal Plane." Lin Yang explained.
"Mechwarrior?" The three girls asked in unison, a little confused.
"Hmm." Nodding, Lin Yang said: "The eternal plane is also a magical plane, they have developed a unique scientific and technological civilization, and it is highly developed, this kind of mecha warrior is what they invented, real people hide in it, control the mecha to fight, a bit similar to the magic puppet we summoned, the difference is that the magic puppet can't get into people." ”
"I see...... Anna nodded, Lily and Huo'er were also quite surprised, everything here was full of freshness and excitement for them, like a new world.
……
As a main plane, although the Dusk Plane has been dead for countless years, and has experienced tens of millions of years of plane battles, it has long been riddled with holes, but from many places, it can still see the majesty and magnificence of the year.
The most obvious point, for example, is that the size of several times, or even dozens of times, the size of the sub-plane, the large one is desperate, and the big one has almost no end in sight.
The four of them have been going to the east, and they don't know how long they have been walking, it may be a few days, or it may be half a month, and the various creatures they encountered along the way should be avoided as much as possible. It's almost thousands of kilometers! This girl is dying of exhaustion and can't walk anymore! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's only a few hundred kilometers." Lin Yang frowned and said, "If you're tired, get into my arm, and I'll take you away." ”
"Don't!" Huo'er turned his head and said stubbornly: "It's so fun outside, and you have a smell on you!" ”
Lily and Anna listened and couldn't help but sneer.
In the distance, a hill slowly appeared.
Several people got closer and closer, and after seeing Xiaoshan up close, they couldn't help but be stunned, and their expressions were quite complicated.
The hill is only a few hundred meters high, to be precise, it is a dirt slope, the whole body is grayish-brown, there is no grass, and it is extremely desolate. The strange thing is that the hill is full of large and small holes, dense, as if it has been eaten by insects, which makes people's hearts numb and nauseous.
"Squeak!"
With a scream, a pair of dark red eyes lit up in a hole. This was followed by the second, third, and fourth doubles...... Hundreds of holes, countless eyes!
Seeing this, Lin Yang was shocked: "Hurry up!" We've come across the scariest thing! ”
Sure enough, as soon as the four of them twisted their hair and ran wildly, from the dense holes on the hill, countless big rats rushed out, black and pressed, dense, and extremely fast. Different from the giant rats in the royal court dungeon of the hive plane, these rats stood up one after another, running with only two hind legs, their thick and long tails swaying from side to side to maintain balance, their two front paws, their nails were pitch black, as sharp as a knife's edge, and the two huge snow-white front teeth were even sharper, and they could easily bite the neck of any beast.
"So many big rats!" Anna had always been most afraid of mice, and when she looked back, she went so weak that she almost fainted in front of her.
"This is the Rat Demon, the lowest and most basic creature in the Gelshas Demon Clan, with a level of only 500." Lin Yang said while running wildly: "But don't underestimate them, these guys' wisdom is not low, they usually move in groups, of course one or two are fine, hundreds of thousands, sometimes even tens of thousands, even tens of thousands, even the most powerful people will be piled to death by the sea of tactics!" In the past, on the plane battlefield, there were not a few examples of legendary powerhouses being bitten to death by rat demons! ”
"Can I ask a question?" Huo'er asked suddenly.
"What?"
"What kind of creatures are demons?" Glancing back, Huo'er continued, "Is it related to the Abyss Demon and the Hell Demon? ”
Lin Yang shook his head and explained, "Strictly speaking, the demon creatures of Gerthath are not any of the abyssal demons and hell demons, nor do they have the bloodline of demons and demons, they are just a group of naturally strong mutant creatures. In addition, Gerthhas is also a peculiar main plane, with only one true god, the god of sin. The creatures on their plane are hostile to any outside race, and basically they only kill when they encounter it, either you die or I die, and it is impossible to even surrender. ”
"What a bunch of crazy guys......" Anna listened with a secret horror.
Lily couldn't help but glance back, and at this glance, she couldn't help but gasp and screamed, "They're catching up!" ”
"Just run, don't look back, and pull up the speed as fast as possible!" Lin Yang shouted loudly.
……
This time, the four of them ran out of hundreds of miles in one breath before they completely shook off the hundreds of rat demons behind them.
Along the way, some of the fastest rat demons chased after them repeatedly, and the four of them fought back from time to time at first, but then they were tired of coping, and everyone had a little scratch and bite on their backs.
Huo'er sat down on the ground, panting, and shouted: "I can't do it, I really can't do it this time, what kind of broken plane!" I want to go back to the hive, no, I want to go back to the Lawson plane! Or let's go somewhere else, don't stay here any longer! I can't take it anymore! ”
"Don't make a sound, I feel like something is approaching us!" The expected scolding and reproach did not come, Lin Yang pressed his hand and said. Immediately, the four of them hurriedly hid behind a boulder nearby.
"Boom!"
Sure enough, the slow and dull sound of vibration continued to be heard from far and near the earth.
In the eastern sky, a streamer of light flew towards this side, like a meteor catching the moon.
"Dare to fly in the sky on the plane battlefield......" Lin Yang frowned and looked up, and muttered: "It seems that he is an arrogant legendary powerhouse." ”
The meteor traveled thousands of meters in an instant, and soon came to the sky above the heads of Lin Yang and the others, and suddenly a sharp brake stopped, and out of it came an old man in a black robe, with his hands behind his back, stepping on the void, slowly turning around, and looking towards the end of the eastern world.
"Boom!"
There was another dull sound of earth movement, which was clearer than just now, and after a while, Lin Yang saw the person clearly, this was a strange army, about a hundred people, all dressed in armor, holding shields and long swords, arms, legs, neck, chest, etc.
And the mounts of this army are also very peculiar, all of them are huge spiders, covered with inch-long fluff, and the whole body is covered with a white and black zebra stripe, especially on the eight long legs, which are extremely charming and beautiful.
On the back of a certain vanguard knight, carrying a large flag, the flag flies, hunting in the wind, and a large lifelike spider is drawn on it.
"Sage Totem, Heavenly Spider Knight......" Lin Yang looked at the team, looked at the banner again, and muttered secretly: "I didn't expect to see the people of the sixteen giants here......"
"What Sage Totem? What the Sixteen? Huo'er listened in the fog and was ready to get to the bottom of it, and Lily and Anna also blinked their curious eyes.
"Don't talk yet, I'll tell you again when I have time, let's see what they're doing!"
……
The old man in the black robe, with his sleeves flying and hunting, carrying his hands behind his back, said condescendingly: "When the old man was crisscrossing the Faren Continent, the Morgan family had not yet squeezed into the sixteen wealthy families, so don't deceive people too much!" ”
Below, a person who seemed to be the leader of the squad raised his eyes and sneered: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, you are just an outlaw now!" Now that we have entered the blacklist of our Morgan family, let alone fleeing to the battlefield in the ground, even if you escape to the depths of the astral boundary, you will end up being slaughtered! ”
"You!" The black-robed old man was furious, waving his hands, and his whole body burst into bright light, ready to fight to the death.
"Kill!" The squad leader held a long sword in his hand and pointed at it in mid-air, and hundreds of soldiers behind him waved their long swords one after another, and countless fierce fighting spirits slammed into the sky!
The black-robed old man's face changed, he didn't attack, he turned his head and flew towards the distant sky!
"Coward, kill him!"
With the loud shouts of the squad leader, the team of hundreds of Sky Spider Knights continued to rush forward.
Lin Yang's four people, hiding behind the boulder, just looking at it from a distance, it was enough to be frightened, the team of hundreds of knights, chasing and fighting behind the legendary old man, fighting in a row, about dozens of miles later, the black-robed old man screamed, and finally fell from the sky, like a meteor falling to the ground.
This made Lin Yang understand even more that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this land, relying on personal force alone was completely unworkable, he needed an army, a subordinate, a territory, a henchman, and wealth...... In short, there is still a long, long way to go, and there are still many things that are needed.
"Let's go, there's nothing more to see." Lin Yang sighed, took the lead in walking forward, and said, "It is estimated that it will not be far away, and you will be able to reach Dragon City." ”
"Who are these knights?" The three girls followed, and hurriedly asked, all of them were full of curiosity: "Look at those knights, it seems that the level is not high, except for that captain, basically none of them have reached the level of the Holy Domain, why can they kill that legendary old man after the best?" ”
"That's the Totem Knight." Lin Yang said impatiently: "They are from the sixteen wealthy families. ”
"Totem Knight? It's the Sage Totem you mentioned earlier, right? What exactly is it? Huo'er didn't stop asking, "Also, I heard just now that they seem to be from a place called the Morgan family, what is the matter with the sixteen wealthy families?" Oh my god, there are so many things, my brain is about to explode! ”
"......" Lin Yang was speechless for a while, he couldn't stand their indiscriminate bombardment, and finally said everything he had to say in one go.
The so-called Sage Totem is a kind of tattoo drawn on the surface of the body, which can increase various statuses, improve various attributes, and even attach various skills. There are many parts of the body that can draw totems, chest, back, limbs, and even the head, you can draw totems, generally speaking, the totems of the pieces can only play a certain role in amplification, and if you want to become a totem knight like the spider knight, you need a totem suit, and the matching of the totem mount, which is extremely demanding.
And once you become a totem knight, the effect is also obvious, you can easily cross one large class to challenge the enemy, and in some cases even cross two large classes to challenge the ranks. Of course, the large class mentioned here is equivalent to a full 100 levels of span.
And the team of Heavenly Spider Knights just now, the lowest level is also five or six hundred, and the general level is around seven or eight hundred, which is really converted, which is equivalent to a hundred Sacred Domain masters, and it is not surprising that they can easily kill legends.
The most important point is that the Sage Totem is exclusive to the Faeron plane, just like the mecha of the eternal plane and the demon man of the Gerthas plane who is born with a strong physique.
"What about the Morgans?" The three girls asked me one by one: "What does it have to do with the sixteen wealthy families?" What is the power of the sixteen giants? ”
"The Morgan family is one of the sixteen wealthy families." Lin Yang swallowed his saliva and explained dryly: "The Faren Plane is a main plane with a fairly developed magic research, and the largest empire among them, called the Holy Federation, occupies almost half of the entire Faren Continent. The countless small countries around it are nothing at all. ”
And in the Holy Federation, there are sixteen incomparably illustrious families, each of which dominates the land and water, and reigns over the world like emperors. The territory of each family is as big as a large country, and you can imagine how huge the entire Holy Federation is, enough to be called the "First Empire" of the entire Faeron plane.
In fact, the Faeron plane, as the main plane, is already quite huge in itself, and if it is really converted, it is basically ten times the size of a sub-plane such as the Lawson plane.
In addition, in the Holy Federation, although the royal family is still the biggest "big brother" on the surface, it is actually very embarrassing, surrounded by the sixteen wealthy families, and if any major event occurs, it is always discussed with the sixteen wealthy families, and there is no right to take the initiative to implement the decision.
"The Holy Federation, the Sixteen Giants, such a huge country......" Anna said stupidly, "it's unthinkable." ”
"I still don't understand." Huo'er shook his head and said, "Why do you say that the sixteen giants are strong?" Except for a larger territory, why don't I hear where it's strong? To put it bluntly, isn't it just sixteen families, how is it different from the Mensa family on the hive plane? ”
"It's completely different, one day and one earth." Lin Yang said slowly: "In this way, maybe you can better understand it, take the Morgan family as an example, as one of the members of the sixteen wealthy families, their strength lies in the fact that each family has been canonized as a top knighthood, a huge territory like a large country, a massive army of nearly a million soldiers, countless holy domains and legendary powerhouses, amazing wealth, profound heritage, various sub-planes and semi-planes secretly controlled, countless resources, and most importantly, a huge totem knight legion!" ”
"When you say that, I finally kind of understand......" Huo'er said with a grin, as if it was none of my business when the sky fell.
Anna and Lily, on the other hand, had completely covered their mouths in surprise.
They are all children born and raised in the hive plane, they have never been to other planes, and the biggest war they have experienced is nothing more than a bloody battle between the elves and the zerg, for them, it is unimaginable that a family can develop to such a point, it is like a fantasy.
"It's almost there." Lin Yang smiled and stretched out his hand.
At the end of the horizon, a magnificent city shines brightly in the light of the setting sun.
