Chapter 24: Exchange of Information
The cloth of the scroll has turned yellow, and even if it is not damaged, the paint on it is not visible in many places due to dampness during preservation.
But Yang Chong and the three of them looked at the first chapter of the picture scroll, and their hearts were shocked, a black figure outlined with a few strokes, sharp teeth on the face and upper jaws open, and the spear in his hand, he was definitely a predator.
This first picture depicts the arrival of the Predator, not one, but many more, descending from the sky to hunt down the humans below. Most of the humans lying on the ground had weapons in their hands, or weapons stuck in the ground, not surrounded by predators, but chased by a few, like a flock of sheep, crouching with their heads in their hands, perhaps the stabbed people twisting and running.
The second picture depicts the Predators having enslaved the locals and began to dig deep pits into the ground, and it is written that under the pit of the Yellow Springs Hirazaka, countless people struggled to dig a huge passage, and a place that looked like an underground palace was excavated and built. There are also eight layers of hell whose names have been specially outlined, such as Knife Mountain Hell, Steamer Hell, Iceberg Hell, Poison Pool Hell, and so on.
Most of the third scroll has been corroded, but the rest can be faintly seen, the Predator is gone, and the people are back on the ground. The fourth and fifth are fragments, framed on a screen, and when unfolded, they seem to be the legend, and after the Predators leave, the aliens appear, and then the Predators are transformed into gods.
Although they were excited to get some information, Yang Chong and Shen Yishu's brows furrowed after reading it. This legend has changed too much, and the Predator is an alien high-tech civilization, and I don't know how it compares with the technology of the Human Alliance. And what does it mean to excavate a huge underground palace without a source, mythological worship?
The Predator's painting style in the back changed, and he became a god directly from the hunted Heavenly Demon, the color was white, and the moves and weapons that could not be shot could be seen in the broken places, and the ones that were not broken were all Predators stepping on the target's body, as if showing off the results of their hunting, and there was no one that could prove the Predator's fighting style.
Unable to get the information he wanted from the feudal lord, Yang Chong was not very satisfied.
However, looking at the expectant eyes of the feudal lord, Yang Chong still nodded: "That's right, it has been determined that these people are the gods, but I don't know if the feudal lord asked this god what to do, as far as I know, didn't the legendary gods come down from the sky to help the East State?" ”
The feudal lord coughed, gave the butler a look, and asked the other party to send away the untrustworthy subordinates and unrelated people, and struggled on his face for a while before he whispered: "Actually, there are some secrets in these things. ”
Shen Yishu was really interested, looked at Yang Chong and asked, "I don't know, is it convenient to say?" ”
The squire Kansuke, who had appeared before behind the feudal lord, pushed the door at this time, his hand pressed the long knife on his waist, and the force on his body was ready to be attacked, and then the feudal lord said: "If the three of you really want to know, it's not impossible, but once these things are said, you must ensure that you are involved in this matter." ”
Yang Chong asked, "What's the matter?" The atmosphere at this time has begun to change because of this topic.
The lord of the feudal clan said word by word: "Hunt the gods!" ”
"Snort~" Behind the door sliding around, more than a dozen people with a vitality index of not low gently pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and among them, Yang Chong's eyes narrowed, and the other two people who also had the strength to serve were definitely the ones who had completed the power jump!
A piece of news can actually make the people around the domain lord feel like a great enemy, Yang Chong's heart began to jump with some excitement, maybe these people just knew some of the skin of the Predator, maybe they were just worried that the three of them would leak this secret. But what if they really knew more of the Predator's secrets, such as combat methods or habits, and how to crack their secret methods of stealth?
That's right, before the aliens grow, the Predator can't hunt them, and may even become their counter-killing Predator!
The high-tech they are wearing that can make the vitality of the jumper not hide at all is definitely worth getting Yang Chong involved in! What's more, Yang Chong's original intention was to use these people, and now the feudal lord even bumped into them directly, which saved Yang Chong trouble.
Yang Chong glanced at Zuo Nan, and the other party's eyes showed trust in himself. glanced at Shen Yishu again, and what he got was a nod, and the other party knew what he was thinking, and he also admitted his thoughts.
Yang Chong nodded: "We have no problem, but the remuneration ......"
The lord of the feudal lord was overjoyed: "Okay, the remuneration is not a problem, one thousand, no, two thousand taels of small judgments, a big mansion, servants, Mei Ji, I will meet your requirements!" ”
"Temporary Mission: Hunt the Predator, and upon success, the participant will receive 3,000 evolution points. There is no penalty for failure. ”
Yang Chong is not rare in the money of this world, and if he can't take it with him when he leaves, he will distract himself, but the color of the space-time center must be able to get it.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, Zuo Nan also knew why Yang Chong always had to finally bring the topic to the reward, it turned out that it was not to make it seem logical for his people to do things for him, but to evolve, thinking of the reward given by the Predator, he couldn't help but urge: "What are those secrets?" ”
Although the conditions were met, the surrounding oppression did not dissipate.
The lord of the feudal clan didn't seem to feel this, and said, "Actually, the heavenly gods are those heavenly demons who came down from the sky and destroyed our country in one breath!" The feudal lord's tone was excited, but it actually didn't make the feelings of Yang Chong and the three of them fluctuate in the slightest, this kind of problem, I knew it from the beginning!
Seeing that his words did not achieve the desired effect, the feudal lord was inevitably a little embarrassed: "You came from outside, and you don't know the meaning of this, this is like a compassionate god who suddenly becomes an evil ghost, which is unacceptable." But none of this matters, because their appearance must mean that a large number of evil spirits will reappear in the world! ”
Zuo Nan couldn't help but ask, "But didn't they appear to kill the evil ghosts?" ”
The feudal lord shook his head: "No, they will not only kill evil spirits, they will also kill everyone they see, because they are the leaders of our Eastern State until today, if they appear in our Ochiai Domain, we don't kill these crazy people, they will definitely come and kill everyone here!" At the end of the battle, the feudal lord's face was already a little frightened and hideous.
Yang Chong nodded, understanding the reason, but knowing that the words of the feudal lord had not yet been completely spoken, he took the initiative to say: "These gods and demons are very similar to the demons and demons we have there, and it is our duty to eradicate the source of this scourge, but we have an empty heart, we don't know their means of attack, and we can't fight them." ”
The lord said, "I know, since we in Odawara Castle have experienced evil spirits causing chaos on the earth, and we have also experienced the gods subduing demons, of course we have their information. ”
Yang Chong listened to the other party's admission but didn't say it, and asked patiently, "What about the detailed information?" ”
The butler saw the look that the feudal lord gave him, nodded and knelt on the side, and said in a low voice: "They come and go without a trace, and they only appear when they attack, but at this time, the person who is attacked is often dead. And when attacking, he will hold a double-headed spear in his hand, or use a knife behind his arm, and occasionally use darts, and the attack is very fast, and the villain is fortunate to see it, but he only feels that the speed is fast and he can't see it clearly, I'm afraid that only the speed of Lord Yuan Wang and the Nine People can keep up with the attack. ”
Hearing that the butler was talking about another meaningless thing, he knew it, Yang Chong did not interrupt the other party, but listened quietly.
While he was talking, someone outside the door lightly buttoned the floor, and the housekeeper retreated to listen, thinking that it was a big deal, and when the other party came back, he said with a strange face: "Lord Yang Chong, you really have the heart, even at this moment, you want to call the famous dish of Shiwei Zhai Chazuke, saying that you want to invite adults to taste it too." ”
Kansuke said in a low voice, "Lord Domain, this is not the time to eat these at this time!" ”
The feudal lord waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, since it's the guest's heart, how can we not accept it, it just so happens that there are such strong people who are willing to fight side by side with us and others, it is worth celebrating!" ”
Zuo Nan looked at Yang Chong with a surprised face when he heard this, when did this happen, and he even wanted to eat chazuku, although he had already eaten strange foods such as octopus and fish fillets raw when he came here, but can he eat this chazuku?
Yang Chong winked at Shen Yishu, indicating that of course he didn't do it himself, Shen Yishu immediately guessed the reason, and waited probably because he came to the lord of the domain, and the somewhat frightened clerk brought the props in, and Shen Yishu was even more sure that this was the person next to the ninja Ichinomiya he saw at the shrine. Shen Yishu was a little unbelievable, at this dangerous moment, even if he said that the alien and the Predator appeared, everyone would exchange information, but he blatantly appeared here at the rival, is it a bit too "affectionate"?
When a few people were thinking about it, the clerk knelt at the door and kowtowed, and after entering the door, he fell beside Yang Chong and others and kowtowed again, and then took out the props.
First of all, I took out a few small teacups, and rinsed them one by one with the brewed green tea in the large tea bowl on the spot, and suddenly the bitter tea flavor overflowed, and the clerk carefully placed it in a small plate, put in a small group of rice balls and seaweed and other ingredients, and then washed it into it with the second brew of tea, and suddenly the tea fragrance overflowed with rice and vegetables.
Watching the housekeeper test the poison, after waiting for a while without a problem, let everyone follow the taste, and after the lord ate it, he praised it for being delicious.
When it came to Yang Chong, the clerk smiled deliberately: "Because the guest said last time that the food was not enjoyable, let me prepare a slightly larger bowl, this bowl is specially prepared for you." ”
Yang Chong didn't pay attention to the taste, but ate it in his mouth, only felt a small bamboo tube, and his heart moved, pressing it in his mouth. Just thinking about what to do, there was a "sting" in the courtyard, fireworks exploded in the air, although you couldn't see anything, you could hear the arrows that followed one after another, and the chaotic shouts were extremely loud in everyone's ears.
The feudal lord's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly and a little frightened: "It's begun, these gods, finally can't help but start attacking us!" ”
Yang Chong and the two people around him stood up from sitting cross-legged, causing Kansuke beside the feudal lord to half-sit up, and the surrounding vitality index was more oppressive, but Yang Chong said: "Since we are here, we might as well join forces and take this opportunity to kill these gods!" ”
The lord of the feudal lord breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "If we let us complete the arrangement, we will naturally be completely sure to do this, but now it is almost a little bit, if you can fight for an hour, no, half an hour, it only takes half an hour to a stick of incense, we are completely sure that the gods will stay here forever!" ”
What sounded in his ears was another task of five hundred evolution points, and the reward points given by the task did not seem to be much, but Yang Chong was already very satisfied, and five hundred evolution points meant that the space-time center might not feel that this task was too dangerous for these people.
Immediately nodding and walking out of the door, Yang Chong took his hexagonal shield in the hands of the guards, and took the initiative to walk quickly in the direction where the sound kept coming out.
There were teams of ashigaru and swordsmen walking around him, either carrying some things or arming defenses, Yang Chong spit out a small bamboo tube, crushed and opened the note on it, and briefly recorded the weapons of the Predator. He quickly took out the scroll that the previous Ichinomiya handed over to him to record the alien information and browsed it, and passed it to Shen Yishu and Zuo Nan to watch separately.
Bypassing the crooked corridors, Zuo Nan read the note and wondered: "I know what the nets, darts, double-headed spears, and double-armed knives are, but what is this empty escape?" ”
Yang Chong replied lightly: "Invisible." ”
Zuo Nan continued to ask, "What about divine punishment?" ”
"Boom!" A red light seemed to be the gaze of death turned into substance, and when it was aimed at a passing ashigaru, a red light with fingers like a pulse pistol shot out, directly penetrating the bamboo armor on Ashigaru's body, and hitting the opponent for a burst of scorching.
Yang Chong took a sharp breath: "See, right?" ”
Zuo Nan screamed: "! Didn't the scroll say that these people advocate cold weapon combat, why do they still use pulse guns! ”
Shen Yishu suddenly took out his pulse pistol and said, "I have it too!" ”
Zuo Nan rolled his eyes: "It's not funny!" ”
When the rest of the ashigaru scattered and dodged, the spear flew out and nailed one directly to the tree behind him, and a person was nailed in front of the tree in the small courtyard, and the pond next to the tree was filled with bamboo tubes, and suddenly slammed on the stones below, and the crisp sound of beating woke people up.
Yang Chong's supreme authority was immediately grasped in his hand, and his vigilance rose to the highest level as soon as he saw the illusory Predator. In front of this kind of monster, let alone surviving for half an hour, Yang Chong felt that it was not a simple matter for him to be able to survive a stick of incense.
At this time, there was a courtyard wall outside, Yang Chong and his friends were passing by a concave building with a small courtyard, and when they saw both sides, Yang Chong immediately said: "Retreat!" ”
Just as he was about to act, the leader of Ashigaru shouted: "You can't retreat, the back is being arranged, and if you retreat, the arrangement will be disrupted!" ”
But when the other party spoke, a dart suddenly appeared from the air, spun and flew to the opponent's forehead, and the swordsman with the knife in his hand suddenly drew his knife, and instantly hit the weapon away, and the speed of reaction made Yang Chong a little admired.
But the next moment, when the two knives appeared from the opponent's left, the Ashigaru boss retreated with a backhand blow, and his feet in straw sandals slid violently on the wooden floor of the building's corridor. Whenever the Predator attacked the opponent, the swordsman immediately fought back but did not love to fight, and soon flew back and retreated, and without hard fighting, the 135% vitality index was soon already flying away.
When Zuo Nan saw the other party, with a single knife with a turn of his wrist and a step on his foot, the floor on the ground was shattered under the huge force, and the whole person rushed behind the predator like an arrow from the string.
"Ding!"
Seeing that Zuo Nan's single knife was about to hit the other party, a double-headed spear made of alloy texture stretched out from the void, which was not inferior in toughness compared to the ordinary first-level Force Amplitude Single Knife in Zuo Nan's hand, and the next moment, the darts also flew towards Zuo Nan's forehead.
Easily tilted his head to dodge, when Zuo Nan's body was spinning, his feet slipped and slipped, and the whole person seemed to revolve around the Predator, rushing out of the court corridor and falling into the small courtyard with the Predator.
At this time, a gray force behind a predator on the other side of the attack pushed itself, and he crashed headlong into the arms of Ashigaru, who was unable to react, and the giant force drove the two-armed knife to cut open the chest of the Ashigaru leader, killing him instantly.
"I'll go, you press the formation!" The three strands in Yang Chong's chest that had been brewed before rushed out one after another, and the Void Step was transformed and used by Yang Chong with ease, and the speed had already surpassed Shen Yishu, and he immediately crashed into the Predator's body alone.
In an instant, Yang Chong, Zuo Nan and the two Predators were in a battle. Shen Yishu knew that the task was to resist, so it was not without a target. Vigilantly watching the battle between Yang Chong and Zuo Nan, his footsteps fluctuated between the two, just waiting for one side to be in trouble, and immediately support.
Having reached the life-level visceral jump, Yang Chong and Zuo Nan's force and strength have increased a lot, but at this time, facing the Predator who is wearing heavy armor but attacking quickly, the two of them have less than half an advantage in strength under the advantage of the other party's race, and can only dodge the attack.
Zuo Nan's feet were like oil, and he quickly dodged around the predator in front of him, and from time to time he drew cold knives, fierce, ruthless and slippery.
But Yang Chong's lack of melee at this time was fully exposed, although the virtual and real seals were powerful, but after borrowing strength a few times, they could only rebound the attack of the Predator, Yang Chong and the Predator in front of him were like two madmen, one person and one knife slashing, as if the competition was who first chopped and smashed the opponent's weapon, and then it was when the other party failed and died.
It was also when the battle between the two reached a white-hot point, the Predator's left hand was fighting against the supreme authority of Yang Chong's right hand, and his right hand suddenly took out a small ball from behind him and threw it towards Yang Chong suddenly.
A pulse came out of the pulse pistol in Shen Yishu's hand, the pulse seemed to have a speed comparable to light, and it hit the ball in an instant, and a large net between the two spread out violently, opening and contracting with a spike flash on it, if it hit Yang Chong, it would lock Yang Chong in it.
It's dangerous!
Yang Chong secretly wiped a handful of sweat in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Thank you!" ”
At this time, the butler's voice came from behind from afar: "Okay, okay, come to the atrium!" ”
