Chapter 31: Something Seems to Be Happening

One of the farthest living areas from the Central Province, bordering the land of steel, this is the position of the 19th district today.

The living quarters surrounding the Central Province can be roughly regarded as three classes, which are divided into the inner perimeter, the middle perimeter, and the outer periphery by the distance from the central province. The part of the single-digit survival area adjacent to the central province is the inner perimeter, then the central perimeter including the fallen 11th district, and finally the outer perimeter where the 19th district is located.

Although it borders the land of steel, in fact, a border like the 19th District is not invaded by monsters. At least not since the existence of the Habitat Zone, there have been no such instances.

The reason for this is almost unknown, and probably only the high-ranking people of the Central Provincial Imperial Three Families can answer this secret.

Not to mention it, just when Zhou Yao was waiting for the Taiyi Immortal Road to open, on the steel land not far from the Nineteenth District, there was a verdant forest standing abruptly in the barren land, which was extremely conspicuous.

Incredibly, the inside and outside of the forest are like two worlds, and people are curious to find out.

At this moment, there is a small group of people walking forward in the forest, looking left and right as if looking for something in the forest. They wore gray canopies, and each carried an enclosed helmet on their backs.

"Hey, did you think the second leader would be here? I've been looking for it for a long time, or let's go back first. ”

One of them accosted the leader, gasping for breath with obvious boredom.

"Don't talk nonsense, there is a new order from headquarters, and we must report it to your lord as soon as possible." The leader should be the captain of this group, and he will teach his uncompetitive subordinates with a straight face.

"But it's too big. Anyway, why is there a forest in this place? ”

The subordinates didn't care, and continued to complain about the grumbling in their stomachs. It was obvious that he had become accustomed to his boss's lessons. The others didn't speak, but the expressions on their faces were similar to his.

"Whisper to me, don't bring the monsters nearby, or you and I will be even more tired. I've heard that things like this are inherent enchantments created by particularly powerful monsters, and it's not uncommon in the land of steel. ”

The captain glared at his men helplessly, coughed slightly, and began to tell the rumors he had heard from others.

"Huh? A monster with an inherent barrier! Aren't we dangerous?! ”

The face of his subordinate changed, and he swayed around him, and the captain was so angry that he kicked him in the ass.

"Worthless guy. If it's that dangerous, I'm going to bring you in? ”

"So, we won't meet the master of the enchantment, right? I knew the captain wasn't going to take us to death. ”

The subordinate rubbed his buttocks and approached the captain with a hippie smile.

"Why are you here?"

Before the captain could say anything more, a low, indifferent voice sounded through the trees, pouring into everyone's ears like a thunderbolt, and they all froze in place.

"Two, Lord Two Leaders!"

The captain, who was the first to react, shouted in surprise and turned his head to look to the side beside him.

A man with black hair over his shoulders and a white aristocratic robe appeared in everyone's sight. He looked at everyone calmly, his black pupils as if they would penetrate people's souls, and just looking at each other made those present feel a deepest fear.

"Why are you here?"

The man repeated, his black pupils flashing a fiery red.

"Yes, it's the headquarters that gives the order! Ask the trio to return to the headquarters immediately! ”

The captain was frightened, and hurriedly said the purpose of his coming this time.

"Immediately...... It looks like it's time to get moving. But things here are just about to reach the harvest stage. ”

The man muttered under his breath, then looked at the captain again.

"I see. Have you clarified what I told you before? ”

"Yes! There has been a lot of frequenting of the forest by members of the association recently. It seems that it will soon be the venue for an event at the Chuo Provincial College. The captain said respectfully.

"Uh-huh......" The man bowed his head in thought.

He discovered the "anomaly" here not long ago, and although he also found "traces" left by the association, he didn't actually see anyone but him, and only a large group of monsters existed in the forest.

Recently, however, this has changed, and the Society's personnel have begun to frequently go in and out of the forest to carry out some sort of investigation-like work. Originally, he could have killed him casually, but considering that the other party was likely to have the same purpose as himself, if his own existence was exposed to the other party, things might be a little difficult to handle. After all, it is one of the three royal families, so I have to be cautious.

"Will a large number of people be here soon......" the man's eyes narrowed.

Although the result he feared most did not happen, the answer he got at the moment was not much better.

When I found out, I happened to catch up with the best time, and I thought that I would easily harvest the "fruit". However, people are not as good as heaven, and now there is such a sudden play, what is the so-called academy activity?

No wonder this place has long been discovered by the association, but it has been placed all along, and it turns out that it has another purpose.

"Yes, that's right!" The captain bowed his head in response.

"I really can't help it. If you find out, kill them all. The harvest time is approaching, and by the time the association sends someone over, I will already be gone. ”

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the man's indifferent face.

"Do you have any other orders, sir?"

Seeing that the man's mood had improved, the captain's heart was also quietly relieved. Who would have thought that the next moment, his body would suddenly spontaneously combust, and at the same time, his subordinates would all turn into burning people in an instant, just like him.

"Great, my lord......!"

The captain rolled on the ground in pain, unable to believe that he would meet this result.

"I'm sorry. Although I don't think you know much. But sure enough, the fewer people the better. ”

said the words of apology, but there was no trace of sincerity on the man's face. His hair turned fiery red in an instant, and the particles of light emitted as if to lead the flames on his corpse to stain all around.

"Almost. If you set this place on fire, it will attract the attention of the 'inside'. ”

The man shook his head and gathered the strength in his body, and with a snap of his fingers, extinguished all the flames.

"I'm really looking forward to that moment. The blood-sucking fruit, and the last true ancestor ......"

The man's previous indifference was gone, and he laughed in a low voice, and his words were full of pleasure.

Blood-sucking fruits? The Last True Ancestor......
