Chapter 289: A Gamble to Be a Slave for Eternity
"Let's go! Annihilate the ice lizards! Qin Hao scolded loudly and galloped towards Tianzige.
An hour later, Qin Hao and the others waited quietly behind the Tianzi Grid Stone Slab. At the fork in the road, the raiding team led by Rat Batian lined up, carrying dirt in an orderly manner, and the passage to the ice lizard cave was about to be opened.
"Doot toot!" A shrill whistle echoed through the frozen abyss in mid-air, as the snowfall flyers had successfully tackled the catapult.
"Assault!" With Qin Hao's roar, Liu Zihan took the lead in jumping out. The "Purple Xuanlian Ice" in his hand turned into tens of millions of ice arrows, instantly enveloping the Ice Lizard Man Cave.
"Ahh
"Stinky Leopard!" Murong Yue, who didn't know the truth, glanced at the "cute black panther", shook the detection shovel in his hand and cursed indignantly.
"Kill that stupid dog!" The two guards in boulder helmets at the entrance of the cave were relieved of their shock and rushed towards this direction.
"Poof! Woo! The panther swung twice in front of him, followed by a black crosscut in the air. The two guards rained down in the air in a cloud of blood.
"Ahh
"Close the door!"
"Close the door!"
With the frightened roars of countless ice lizardmen, the gate of tens of thousands of catties of boulders fell down with a "bang", and merged with the entire mountain.
The black panther standing in front of the cave door had a twinkle in his eyes and an anthropomorphic smile on his face.
The next moment, countless black mist entwined around his front paws, and he swung towards the stone gate in front of him.
"Boom! Rumble! Countless muffled voices rang out. The tens of thousands of tons of gate appeared on the dense spider pattern. Then there was the flying sand and rocks flying all over the sky.
With a few flicks of the panther's storm, the heavy stone gate was bombarded into piles of rubble.
The ice lizardmen in the cave swarmed out and fought the panther in one place.
At this time, the cave suddenly became noisy, and with the billowing smoke, several ice lizards shouted, "The supply warehouse is on fire!" "The grain is on fire!"
Not long after, a cry came from inside the cave, "Patriarch spare your life!" Patriarch! ”
"Ahh Save me! ”
......
Mournful cries echoed through the caverns, making the ice lizardmen who were fighting on the front lines can't help but look back.
In their horrified eyes, they saw that the old, crippled, sick and weak of the Icelizardmen tribe had been slaughtered by the Patriarch Guard.
The rune array in the high priest's room was covered with rivers of blood, countless corpses lined up in strange directions, and the grooves under the corpses were filled with blood.
"Buzz!" The rune array began to slowly turn.
With the high priest's chanting, the blood-colored rune array gathered upward, forming a giant cylinder ten meters in diameter.
In the next moment, the tip of this cylinder slowly deformed and thinned, piercing the mountain stone of the frozen abyss, and leaping towards the snowy kingdom above.
"Nope! He deceived us! ”
Countless voices spread among the soldiers, and after clearing out several diehards, they surrendered to Qin Hao and the Ice Rat Man, who had no intention of fighting again.
"Lord God-King! Kill them all! The person in charge of escorting Rat Batian walked out of the team and whispered to Qin Hao.
"Why kill them?" Qin Hao turned his head and said suspiciously.
"Uh... We have no surplus food to feed the captives. Since the adults have the virtue of a good life, how about selling them to the slave trader Kana? Rat Batian scratched his head vigorously before raising his head after a long time. As if he had made up his mind, he suggested to Qin Hao.
For all of Nicanado, it was bitterly cold and barren, with only the brief day six days later being able to cultivate and harvest. The plants and cultivation techniques that can grow in Nicanado are monopolized by the Snowy Kingdom, and for the original inhabitants of the Stormy and Frozen Cliffs, they can only rely on primitive hunting and human trafficking through war to buy food.
Hunger and hatred abounded on this primeval ice sheet, and there was a mixture of killing and lies.
When strange races meet, the first thought is to kill each other. The reason why Qin Hao and the others were unimpeded was because of the extremely oppressive spiritual storm that emanated from their bodies.
This is especially true for the Ice Rat People and Ice Lizardmen of the Ninth Feud, where the hatred ingrained in their blood keeps them from killing each other, almost non-existent.
"Kana?" Qin Hao suddenly remembered this name, he turned his head to Rat Batian and asked, "Is this Kana called Black Cat Kana?" ”
"Black cat... Kana? Rat Batian's eyes flashed with confusion, and he shook his head towards Qin Hao.
"It's an old witch who holds a black cat all the time!" Murong Yue, who was serving as a recorder next to her, pouted and shouted loudly towards Rat Batian.
"Holding a black cat? ... Old witch? Rat Batian shook his head vigorously, and then whispered to Qin Hao, "Lord Hui: The slave trader Kana is indeed a woman, but she doesn't have a black cat, and she is not an old witch... It's a teenage Terran girl, maybe the adults have mistaken someone."
"Oh?" Qin Hao and Murong Yue glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly. Turning to Rat Batian, he said, "In that case, you can deal with those captives. But what do they know about this rune remnant? ”
"Back to my lord! This remnant... Half of our tribe is fragmented... And the other half was taken by them more than 100 years ago! Rat Batian took a few steps forward, looked at Murong Yue's side and listened to the figures she had drawn, searched for all the impressions in his head, and said slowly.
"Do you have a remnant formation?" Qin Hao glanced at Rat Batian and said with a look of surprise, "Where is the other half in the Ice Lizardman?" ”
After Qin Hao saw Rat Batian nodding in acquiescence, he turned to shout loudly to the guards around him, "All assemble!" All captives assemble! ”
When the Ice Rats and Snowfall Pilots heard this, they immediately shouted and turned around. In the afterglow of the sun, the frozen abyss became noisy.
Soon after, they escorted the ice lizardmen back into line.
Qin Hao glanced at everyone and scolded loudly, "You ice lizardmen! Took away half of the pair of formation maps from the Ice Rat Man a hundred years ago! Does anyone know where now?! ”
The crowd was silent, and those ice lizards looked at each other, not knowing what Qin Hao was talking about.
"It's this kind of formation diagram!" Murong Yue, who was on the side, glanced at Qin Hao, and with his permission, raised the remnants of the formation in his hand towards the group of captives.
"Someone knows the whereabouts of this formation map, I'll set you free! If you let me know that some of you are deliberately concealing it and not reporting it... Even if you are alive in the future, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth! Qin Hao scanned the crowd with a cold face, trying to find even the slightest difference in these eyes full of confusion, horror, and bewilderment.
However, nothing was obtained, and it seemed that these ice lizardmen really didn't know the remnant.
Just when Qin Hao was in a hurry and almost had no choice but to give up. There was a cough from the ranks of the ice lizardmen.
"Uh-huh! ... Back to my lord! The old man knows! ”
Accompanied by an old voice, a beard
The white-haired veteran stepped out.
"Do you really know?" Qin Hao glanced at the veteran, and the flame that was about to be extinguished in his heart burned again. The voice also softened involuntarily.
"Yes! My lord! The veteran looked up at Qin Hao and replied loudly, "What the Lord just said, does it still count?" ”
The veteran then asked rhetorically.
"What I just said counts completely! I'm the boss here, and what I say must be fully implemented! Qin Hao was not angry but happy, he knew that what this veteran was talking about below must be the whereabouts of the mysterious half-rune array.
Sure enough, the veteran pointed to all the ice lizardmen behind him and said loudly, "Then I will ask your lord to grant freedom to all the ice lizardmen!" ”
Everyone looked at this bold ice lizardman who dared to threaten the God King, and there was a brief calm in the scene.
And the next moment, all the pilots and ice ratmen drew their weapons.
The angry Rat Batian kicked the veteran and roared angrily, "You godless king, you are asking for a price all over the sky, and you don't know how thick the sky is!" I cut you! ”
"Adults don't know! To get that half of the rune array, all the lizardmen must be alive! The veteran's face was covered in blood, and he knelt on the ground and hugged his head tightly, praying to Qin Hao.
"Wait!" Qin Hao pulled away the angry Rat Batian, squatted down and whispered to the veteran, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Back to my lord! Because that half of the rune array has been integrated into the bloodline of my clan! The veteran wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, knelt down in front of Qin Hao, and spoke in detail in Qin Hao's puzzled expression.
It turns out that the life span of the ice lizard people is not long, only a few decades, and many of the skills they should have can only be passed down through the power of the bloodline.
The former Ice Lizard Chief, the man who was worshipped as a lizard god, had made an expedition from another ancient continent. Having captured half of the rune map in the battle with the native ice rat people, he keenly felt the importance of this rune map. Half of the soldiers were ordered to perform the bloodline inheritance ceremony on the spot, and in order to protect the holy place, they were left behind, calling themselves "Ice Lizardmen".
Since then, every warrior has had a part of the rune treasure in their blood. And as the number decreases, the weight contained in each person's blood will gradually increase. However, the difficulty of extraction will also increase with the decrease of the number of people, and when the number of people decreases to single digits, the rune treasure will be fixed and cannot be extracted.
"I see!" Qin Hao touched his chin with his hand and thought for a while, blinked his eyes a few times and asked in a low voice, "Then do you have a way to extract the rune map?" ”
"Back to my lord! No! The veteran lowered his head and said seriously, as if he had seen the sneer of the rat tyrant beside Qin Hao. He knew that the rat must be laughing at his empty treasure but not being able to use it, and he couldn't help but get angry.
He raised his head to meet the gaze of Rat Batian, and the two of them were already fighting each other in their eyes.
Then he said aloud, "Back to your lord! Although we can't extract it, we can't even trace it on such a small piece of paper. However, we can fix it! Fix that part of ourselves with the impression of each of us. ”
He slowed down, and then a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "My lord! Ice Mouse also has the other half there, and his subordinates are willing to bet with them and make a life and death contract! Start tinkering with them at the same time, and if we are slower than them, we ice lizards are willing to be slaves forever! 2k reading network
