The collector communicates directly through the channel established by the life field, and the life connected to the life field can be intuitively felt.

For example, 'lying', 'pleasure', 'sadness', etc., they will be displayed in the channel, which is far more intuitive and rich than the thinking and emotions that require facial expressions and verbal communication to be expressed.

"You...... Still loyal to the will? ”

"Will? What is that? ”

"You don't know the will?"

Perpetual keenly noticed something, and the fangs swept over the corpse of a swarthy gatherer, a small piece of flesh on the corpse being swallowed by Perma.

After a moment of silence, the perpetual fangs moved, pointing at the corpses of the victors who had once flaunted their might in the icemelt under the nervous gaze of the swarthy gatherers.

In order to ensure absolute ruling authority, the victors did not inherit the genetic memories of the gray and dark gatherers, and the most critical information of the 'supreme will' in these memories was strictly forbidden to be blocked, even if they had never been in contact with each other since the ice was frozen, and they were very tacitly engaged in concealment activities together.

And the reason why Dark and Gray have no 'loyalty' is not only their own factors, but also the external factors created by the victors—things that have never been understood, even if they are 'gods', cannot swear allegiance.

"It seems that they didn't pass on their genetic memories to you."

"It is true that the influence of those betrayers has prevented you from being allegiance, but this is not a reason for you to be forgiven, for whatever reason, betrayers, deserve to die!"

"Next, your life and death will depend on the answer you give me."

"Let's start with you."

The fangs pointed to the swarthy gatherers who had first been found beneath the stone slabs.

Perpetual cold gaze was fixed on one of the swarthy gatherers.

"Tell me, to whom do you owe allegiance?"

"Xiang ...... To ......"

Asked so suddenly, and pointed at by a fang-limb soaked in the blood of the gatherer, the fear of this swarthy gatherer directly surpassed the peak of reason, and it was very difficult to organize normal thinking, let alone answer.

However, Forever didn't care about that, and the fangs tore the swarthy gatherer to shreds in an instant.

All the swarthy gatherers were stunned by this scene, and they had not directly witnessed the more brutal massacres of the previous settlements when they had taken refuge under the stone slabs.

"Why don't you give it a chance to answer?"

"How can we talk about 'loyalty' when fear can overwhelm thinking?"

"Come, then, and tell me, to whom do you owe your allegiance?"

The fangs had pointed to the swarthy gatherer who questioned perpetuity.

Suddenly, the fear of falling into an ice cellar came directly to it, and it only at this moment did it understand what the previous kindred was facing.

"I... I owe my allegiance to you! Please, give me a way out! ”

"If you answer incorrectly, the betrayer deserves to die."

A fang-limbed then ran the dark gourd body from the mouth to the tail, revealing the cold.

The fangs pointed to the next Dark Gatherer, and this time, without even repeating the question just now, the Dark Gatherer, who had already scared the three souls, replied immediately.

"I owe allegiance to the will! I pledge allegiance to the will! Don't kill me! I am true to my will! ”

The swarthy gatherer, like the other 'laborers', did not have any memory of the Supreme Will, but the crisis of life and death weighed on its brain.

Through the words just now, I learned that this killer is loyal to a settlement leader called 'Will', and the answer to the question is to ask them to submit to the leader called 'Will'.

The perpetual movement froze, and the Swarthy Gatherer expressed joy as it felt that its life should be saved.

However, the truth is the opposite, and the geometric explosion of irritability delivered from the channel tells it that this is outrageously wrong.

"It's disgusting......"

"Wrong answer, betrayer!"

The fangs danced, and between the electric light and flint, the two afterimages intertwined with each other, and what followed was the heavy and muffled sound of the fangs hitting the stone slab after the fangs penetrated the gourd-like lifeform.

"I ...... I'm alive?! ”

The swarthy gatherer, who had thought he was dead, moved his body in shock, and realized that his body was not damaged.

It shifted its gaze to the fangs again, the slate cracked after the moment, and the gourd-like creature that had been pierced through the slab was none other than the 'loyal' swarthy gatherer.

"Run! What are you still doing in a daze? Run! The farther you run, the better! ”

Hearing this shout from his companions in the channel, the swarthy gatherer who had survived his life woke up like a dream and fled away in terror.

"I want to escape...... Well? ”

The murderous Forever was about to withdraw the limb, but felt the resistance from the limb, and the penetrating gatherer was desperately wrapping the tentacle around the limb, even if the sharp blade of the limb had been embedded in the flesh of the tentacle, it had no intention of letting go.

"Did you find this helpful?"

Yong directly lifted the fangs that still had the gatherer hanging on them, returned to their normal posture, and prepared to pursue the swarthy gatherer who was fleeing.

"Wait! You haven't asked me yet! ”

The 'loyal' swarthy gatherer yells at Forever in the channel, while also shaking his fangs desperately, regardless of his own pain, making it difficult for Forever to keep his balance in the water.

Yong continued to look at the swarthy gatherer who had fled into the distance, and then at the one on his own fang, and stopped the sprint of the pursuit.

Until the swarthy gatherer completely disappeared from view, Yong continued to have no intention of continuing the pursuit.

"Now that it's gone, you should be able to answer that question, right?"

At the moment of perpetual inquiry, the swarthy gatherer hanging from the fangs also slipped off the fangs.

"I... I don't know ......."

"I'm stupid... What is Allegiance...... I don't understand ......."

"I just want ...... Settlements can... Bigger... Stronger... Don't be bullied... Not hungry... No injuries... So all the time... Try to smash the ice ......"

“… It's so sleepy and cold... Ice..."

“… Again... Smashing the ice... Hey..."

"Correct, kindred."

Perpetual cautiously picked up the swarthy gatherer with the tentacles with the lightest possible movements, moving towards the hive.

Near the Hive, Perpetual sends the Collector who has suffered penetrating damage into a chamber in the Hive, which was designed by Hogu during the Underworld to repair the damage to the Gatherer.

"I'm sorry, it's too heavy."

Yong continued to look apologetically at the opening of the chamber that was closing, immersed himself in the rhizome network, and shared the information and intelligence obtained from this ice melting area.

At the same time, the new gatherers who were cleaning up the large settlements along the route were no longer targeting the swarthy gatherers.
