Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Zhang Tie ran alone like the wind in the gray hills, his movements were agile and swift, he was simply tireless, after eating nine Demon Rat Seven Force Fruits, Zhang Tiexian's explosive power and endurance were greatly enhanced, correspondingly, he can now almost run for a day at a "cruising degree" of 3o kilometers per hour and still maintain a strong combat effectiveness.
At such a level, just two hours after leaving Krell, Zhang Tie had already run more than 60 kilometers in the rolling hills.
And in the sky, the black giant eagle has long been invisible, and the height that the giant eagle can reach is very high, just like an eye that Krell put in the sky, Krell said that what the giant eagle can see, he can perceive through his own spiritual power, which makes Zhang Tie very envious.
Because of that giant eagle, Zhang Tie and Krell's efficiency in the gray hills has greatly improved. The two of them agreed on some code signals that could communicate with each other, and they were all transmitted through the giant eagle, and many times, Zhang Tie knew what Krell wanted to tell him as long as he looked up and saw the repeated flight trajectory of the giant eagle in the sky.
The wind blowing through the gray hills brought some strange sounds not far away, which made Zhang Tie change the direction of his progress slightly, and after running less than two kilometers, Zhang Tie encountered the first large herd of iron-toothed hyenas encountered today.
At first glance, there were about sixty or seventy of those iron-toothed hyenas, and there was a small group of people who were being besieged by those iron-toothed hyenas on a slope, and the corpses of more than a dozen iron-toothed hyenas were scattered on the ground from far to near, and some of the small group of people had been wounded, and there were blood stains everywhere, and some people had been seriously injured and had to be carried on their backs, looking unconscious.
The cunning iron-toothed hyenas circled around the men, and when the men retreated, the iron-toothed hyenas caught up, and when the men rushed over, the iron-toothed hyenas retreated, and as soon as the men stopped, the iron-toothed hyenas surrounded them, and in the middle, as soon as any of those people were the slightest negligent, several iron-toothed hyenas rushed up and gave him a hard bite.
In the wild, few people can grind this tireless wheel warfare of a large herd of iron-toothed hyenas.
Zhang Tie didn't know how long these people had been chased by this group of iron-toothed hyenas, anyway, when he saw these people, these people were already exhausted one by one, and many of the people with weapons had a little difficulty wielding their weapons.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Tie was naturally like seeing a big meal, and rushed over with the two short spears in his hands without saying a word.
As soon as Zhang Tie appeared, the outermost few of the iron-toothed hyenas rushed towards him.
The short spear in Zhang Tie's hand has only one movement - stab!
The two short spears brought a string of spear shadows in Zhang Tie's hands, and every time the sharp spear tip stabbed out with Zhang Tie, there would be a scream of "sigh" in the air, and the seven or eight iron-toothed hyenas who rushed up were all lying on the ground within two minutes, and each iron-toothed hyena had a blood hole in its body, and the blood hole went straight to the heart.
Seeing such a situation, knowing that a savior and a master had come, the group of people surrounded by iron-toothed hyenas finally cheered up.
"Brothers, hold on, someone has come to save us!" One of the leaders of the group shouted loudly, stabbing a longsword into the body of an iron-toothed hyena as he shouted.
Zhang Tie was so fast, in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the besieged group of people, but he did not rush into the circle of that group of people for the time being, but surrounded those iron-toothed hyenas and slaughtered them.
The iron-toothed hyena surrounded those people, while Zhang Tie surrounded the iron-toothed hyena.
In just the blink of an eye, more than a dozen iron-toothed hyenas were pierced through their hearts by Zhang Tie's short spear and fell to the ground.
The iron-toothed hyena is also a wise creature, seeing that Zhang Tie's strength is too much for them to resist, those iron-toothed hyenas instantly scattered and fled, Zhang Tie chased a few steps and killed a few iron-toothed hyenas, then he withdrew his hand and walked towards those people.
Just after a while, half of the Iron Tooth Hyena Seven Power Fruit was in the account, Zhang Tie was in a good mood, in fact, Zhang Tie was a little restrained just now, because there were the benefits of the Seven Power Fruit of the King of the Demon Rat in front, and when there were only three of the Seven Power Fruits of the Iron Tooth Hyena in the end, Zhang Tie also wanted to see if he was lucky enough to get another Seven Power Fruit of the King of Iron Tooth Hyena, if there was, then one Seven Power Fruit might be more beneficial to him than several ordinary Iron Tooth Hyena Seven Power Fruits.
This is also one of the reasons why he is with Krel, if he is on his own, it is all a matter of luck and probability, but if he is with a Guardian of the Wild, then the possibility is much greater.
The Guardian of the Wilderness wants to find the mastermind behind the beast tide, and since the mastermind behind the scenes can control so many iron-toothed hyenas, according to the knowledge of the beast master that Zhang Tie learned in the "Great Wilderness Sutra", if there is really a king among this group of iron-toothed hyenas, there is a great possibility that the king of iron-toothed hyenas will be with that beast master.
After now acting with Krell can solve many of his own problems, Zhang Tie is also utilitarian. Of course, although he also has a utilitarian heart, but what Krell said to him still played a role, and Zhang Tie was a little disgusted with those behind the scenes who were making trouble everywhere when the holy war was coming, no matter what angle he was in, not to mention, those black hands might also be related to the demons.
So strictly speaking, Zhang Tie and Krell act together, seven points are for private purposes, and three points are for the public. Zhang Tie didn't think he was great, anyway, with his identity and relationship with Mother Teresa, if he was to say that he was completely pretending to be a devout disciple of the Guardian God Sect, it wouldn't be enough, at most he could only pretend to be half.
Zhang Tie's short spear carried the plasma splattered from the heart of the iron-toothed hyena, and walked towards the group of people who had just been besieged again, seeing the blood drops dripping from Zhang Tie's hanging short spear, those people were in awe of Zhang Tie, and a little nervous.
There were twelve or thirteen people in that group, and with Zhang Tie's strength at this time, it would not take any effort to kill them all, and this place was in the wilderness, so those people couldn't help but be careless.
"Hoy!" Before Zhang Tie could get closer, one of the people in the group looked at Zhang Tie and suddenly shouted.
This unfamiliar name made Zhang Tie slightly stunned for a moment, and then took a closer look at those people, among those tired and dusty and bloodstained faces, there were really a few guys who looked a little familiar, and coincidentally, they actually met those low-level mercenaries of the Adlaide Business Group here.
When the people in the Adlaide Business Group heard this shout, some of them were stunned for a moment, and they didn't react, while the people who reacted changed their faces drastically, and they looked at Zhang Tie's gaze, not that kind of surprise and surprise, let alone shock, but fear. The nerves of all the people holding the weapons, who had been slightly relaxed, suddenly tensed up, and they made a defensive posture one by one, as if they were defending against those iron-toothed hyenas just now.
As soon as he looked at the faces of these people, Zhang Tie immediately understood that his identity as a wanted criminal was probably revealed shortly after he left the Adlaide Business Group, either Dawson or the Counsellor in Eskil City, but it didn't matter.
In order not to make those people too nervous, Zhang Tie stood ten steps away from those people, stuck the short spear in his hand into the ground, and pestled it with his hand, and did not continue to get closer.
"I think we should call you Peter. Hampreys! Just when some of the people in the Adlaide Merchant Group were panicking, a man in his sixties, with a scar on his leg from being bitten by an iron-toothed hyena, and a man with obvious clothes like those mercenaries on his body, limped out of the back of the group, this person untied the burden he was carrying, held it in both hands, and made a gesture to hand it to Zhang Tie, "Thank you just now for saving our lives, this is a little bit of the heart of the Delaide Merchant Group, there are more than 7oo gold coins in it, and some precious herbs produced in the gray hills, It's worth about 2ooo gold coins! The Adlaide business group has always been a grudge with clear grievances, revenge and kindness, and we will repay those who are kind to our business group, and we will not let go of those who have enmity with us! ”
Zhang Tie laughed, this old man is a little interesting, this kind of moment judges the situation, speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly, it seems that he has a bit of a status in the Adelaide Business Group, "What is your name, what position do you hold in the Adelaide Business Group?" ”
"My name is Malny, and I'm the director of the Adlaide Merchant Order's medicinal herb acquisition point in the Grey Hills!"
"When I was in Eskir City, I did kill a person, that person was a lackey of Demon Snake Island, I had a feud with the people of Demon Snake Island, I was followed by that person as soon as I got off the boat, that person wanted to be unfavorable to me, and I killed him, at that time, thanks to your merchant group, I was able to get out of Eskil City, which saved me a lot of trouble, today's matter, even if it is cleared!" Zhang Tie smiled and said, "Put away the things in your hands, I'm not a noble person, but I'm not a robber either!"
Listening to Zhang Tie's words, although I don't know if what Zhang Tie said is true, but those people's nerves are obviously relaxed, whether the Adelaide Business Group can help them avenge that is a matter for the future, but at the moment, if Zhang Tie wants to be unfavorable to them, none of them will live to see the sun tomorrow, Zhang Tie has just shown his strength, in the eyes of those people, it is almost the level of level eight or nine, and this level is against a bunch of tired and injured low-level warriors from level two to five. It was a total slaughter.
Malny breathed a sigh of relief, and he put the burden on his back again, "There is nothing we can do about your wanted, but when we return to Eskil City, we will definitely relay what you said today to the police station in Eskil City!" ”
"Thank you then!" Zhang Tie shrugged his shoulders, as long as he left Eskil City, he didn't care about being wanted, "By the way, why are you here!" The Adlaide Merchant Group shouldn't have sent their supervisor at the Gray Hill Medicinal Material Acquisition Point to personally come out to collect medicine! ”
"We escaped from our stronghold on the shores of Lake Huiltau!" Marni said with a sigh.
"Escaped from the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold on the shores of Lake Wiltau?" Zhang Tie blinked in surprise, "Can you tell me what's going on?" ”
"Beast tide, powerful beast tide!" Speaking of escaping from the stronghold by Lake Huiltao, Malny's face turned pale again, and the other people's faces also showed some panic, "There were more than forty people when we escaped, and now that's all that's left?" ”
"Can the Irontooth Hyena break through your stronghold?" Zhang Tie asked strangely.
Marney let out a long sigh......
……
In the next few minutes, Zhang Tie quickly figured out what had happened from Marni's mouth.
Lake Huiertao is a lake deep in the Grey Hills, and in order to collect the precious medicinal herbs and other specialties of the Grey Hills, several chambers of commerce and merchant groups in Eskil City have established a Maple Leaf Fort stronghold there, which serves as a storage warehouse for everyone's supplies and a transit and supply depot for personnel.
Even in the previous beast tides, nothing happened to the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold, but this time, the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold was inexplicably broken by the beast tide.
None of the people in Marni and the Adelaide Merchant Group knew what was going on, but a few hours before dawn today, when everyone was asleep, iron-toothed hyenas all over the mountains appeared in the stronghold of Fort Maple, and everyone was awakened by the screams of those people in the stronghold, and the people who were caught off guard immediately fell into a fight between man and beast.
Because there are too many iron-toothed hyenas, and the entire Maple Leaf Fort stronghold is inexplicably lost, so everyone chose to break through, what Zhang Tie sees now is the result of their breakthrough, the iron-toothed hyena did not let them go, but followed the chase all the way, more than forty people have died all the way, and the remaining few, if Zhang Tie does not appear in time, I am afraid it will not be long, and the belly of the iron-toothed hyena will be filled.
"Isn't there a few high-level warriors stationed in the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold, as long as there are a few high-level warriors stationed there, even if it is a wooden camp, those iron-toothed hyenas will not be able to attack it?" Zhang Tie asked.
"In order to deal with the beast tide in the gray hills, Eskil City has sent a small team of storm bear warriors to the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold to be responsible for clearing those iron-toothed hyenas wandering in the gray hills, and each merchant group has a few soldiers above level six stationed in the stronghold, but I don't know why, when the beast tide is born, these people either disappear, even if they can still pick up arms to fight, they are all a little panicked, and they are all a little panicked, and they are greatly disappointed, and they are drowned by those iron-toothed hyenas in the blink of an eye!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes suddenly, "Where is the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold?" ”
"Just 5o kilometers away over there, there's a lake out there, it's easy to identify!" Marney said, pointing in a direction to the northwest.
"You'd better get out of here quickly, and head east from here, there aren't many iron-toothed hyenas on this road, I've cleaned them up once, and it's up to your luck to get back to Eskil City alive!" After saying this, Zhang Tie pulled out the short spear stuck in the ground and rushed towards the direction that Marni was pointing, and in the blink of an eye, he was already a hundred meters away.
Seeing Zhang Tie disappear here, the rest of the Adelaide merchant group looked at it, and they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly fled towards the east one by one.
After running for dozens of minutes, several thick clouds of smoke rising into the sky in the distance had already pointed out the direction for Zhang Tie, and the figure of the black giant eagle had already appeared in the sky, looking like a small black dot from a distance......
Zhang Tie also saw Krell in the distance, at this moment, Krell was like a cheetah incarnated by lightning, jumping above the treetops, the degree was very amazing, and there was no need to say anything, Zhang Tie also rushed over.
……
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Tie and Krell arrived at the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold almost at the same time.
The Maple Leaf Fort stronghold is a barracks enclosed by a wooden fence more than two people high, and the houses inside are almost all wooden, and when the two of them arrived at the stronghold, the entire Maple Leaf Fort stronghold, except for the mutilated human corpses everywhere, the corpses of iron-toothed hyenas that are several times more than human corpses, are the several wooden houses that are burning in the firelight.
The entire Maple Leaf Fort was almost all over the place, there was not a single living person, and countless iron-toothed hyenas roamed around the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold, tearing and eating the corpses of those dead. When he saw Zhang Tie and Krel, many iron-toothed hyenas with red eyes slowly gathered together.
"In the name of Gaya, the mother of the earth, the beast that roams the wilderness, retreat!" Krell shouted, the whole head was windless, and a short, peculiarly shaped short cane like a withered branch less than thirty centimeters long, slid from his sleeve to his hand, and after that loud shout, he suddenly stuck the short cane in his hand into the ground, and the large group of iron-toothed hyenas, which were still red-eyed and ready to surround him, suddenly ran away with their tails between their legs like frightened rabbits. The iron-toothed hyenas in the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold were also dispersed at once.
Krell's ability opened Zhang Tie's eyes, Krel's trick is very similar to the secret method of the "Breath Word Department" in the "Great Wilderness Sutra" in terms of effect, and to dispel these first-level iron-toothed hyenas, it is possible to cultivate at least the "Great Wilderness Sutra" to the second level, Zhang Tie does not have this level now, so there is no way to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two secret methods, but from the perspective of time, if you use the secret method on the "Great Wilderness Sutra", Zhang Tie will feel that the time will be shorter, but the secret method of the second-level "Breath Word Department", The scope of effect will not be as large as Krel's move.
Looking at the iron-toothed hyenas everywhere, Zhang Tie secretly resisted the idea of rushing up and killing them.
The two walked into the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold.
A few steps into the stronghold, Zhang Tie saw a broken stronghold outer wall fence, he walked over, looked carefully, and immediately came to the conclusion that the outer wall fence of the stronghold was broken by brute force from the outside.
Krell also saw it, and his eyes suddenly became stern, "I smell the smell of the beast master casting spells here!" ”
