Tang Ning saw all the environment here, got up and walked to the large hole in the front wall to look out, it was still dark outside. [with _ dream]ā

"What is this place?" said Taylor hugged Selena with a panicked expression.

"The dungeon of the scorpion, we are in their lair right now. Judging by the circumstances here, Downing turned around and confirmed that no one was missing.

"Why are they putting us in a dungeon?"

"Maybe they want to talk to us, but they just need the right time. Downing returned to his place and sat down. "It's also possible that, as Hilbert said, they treat us as an after-dinner snack to enjoy later. ”

Cybertron's eyes were resentful, and he said angrily: "It was you who brought us to such a dangerous place, and if Selena can't leave alive, I will screw off your head." ”

Downing let out a self-deprecating laugh. "If there is a real danger, maybe you may not have such a chance, and they will kill us all. ”

Now that he himself is not sure, such a journey would have been quite risky, but in the face of the powerful Orcs of the Gluck Clan, he had to take a risk.

After a long time, a poisonous scorpion entered the hole in the wall, and the huge poisonous scorpion made a strange noise, apparently conveying a message to everyone.

"It says that their king wants to see our representatives. Hilbert translated.

"Of course you can, but you have to bring an interpreter. "Downing made a request to the scorpion that without Hilbert, it would be impossible to communicate with these creatures.

Passing through the cave, following the scorpion to a deeper place, the dark cave suddenly became bright, not a fire, but a jewel set in the cave, and the light emitted by the colorful gems made the cave quite dazzling.

The huge space was displayed in front of the two of them, and Hilbert looked around excitedly, exclaiming, "These guys have built such a huge underground city under the desert. ”

Hilbert is right, this is not a simple cave, but an underground city, the vast space is full of precious gems and some precious metals, the planning is even more complete than the orc city, the complexity is almost not much different from the human city, but more luxurious...

The gems have been turned into ruins everywhere, the streets and the pillars used to support the underground city, and some of the facilities used to drain the water, and no one would have believed that these inferior creatures could have achieved such an accomplishment without seeing it with their own eyes.

After about three hours along the wide road, a rather large palace appeared in front of it, the edges of which were decorated with more and larger stones, but from some bare places it was seen that the palace was a lair, and the surface of the lair was covered with these precious ornaments.

Entering the lair, it was more like the interior of a huge palace, with gems covering the ground, and a long corridor paved entirely with rubies leading to the deepest high platform, on which placed a throne made of precious stones, on which a huge poisonous scorpion sit.

With its pincers covered in metal armor, a torn golden crown on its head, and eyes fixed on it, there was no doubt that the giant scorpion seated on the throne was Augusta, the ruler of the desert.

Tang Ning walked under the high platform and bowed. "Venerable King Augusta, your prestige will spread far and wide on the Black Iron Continent, because you have made the wisest decision. ”

Hilbert fell to his knees, bowed his head, and repeated to the king what Downing had just said in the language of a scorpion.

Watching the humans below, Oguta left the throne and stepped in front of the two of them, lifting Hilbert's head with his head bowed with his giant pincers and making a sound.

The other party asked Hilbert to raise his head and look at it with respect, and Hilbert immediately complied, not daring to disobey it in the slightest.

Around the two of them, Augusta spun in a slow circle, the jewels on the ground were plucked with a crisp sound, and suddenly a giant pincer of the king was placed on Downing's back, and an angry sound came from his throat, this time no longer in their exclusive language, but in the language of beasts. "Despicable fellow, I see treacherous and insidious in your eyes, you are not to be trusted. ”

The Scorpion King was able to utter the beast language, and Hilbert's mission was over, and it would allow for a smoother communication between the two, at least without misunderstanding due to translation issues.

Downing responded calmly. "You see treachery and insidiousness in my eyes, which means that I have not hidden my true colors, and honest treacherous people are more trustworthy than scumbags with a mask of hypocrisy. ”

Oguta withdrew the clawers and returned to the young man. "That's right, two-limbed creatures are good at camouflaging their true colors. ”

"It is always pleasant to talk to a wise king like you. Downing smiled in response.

"There are always some hidden secrets hidden in the melodious words, or a huge crisis is hidden. With a shake of his pincers, Oguta held up a huge jewel in front of him in an unpredictable manner.

Whether it's an orc or a scorpion, it always takes some extraordinary to become a king, and Oguta's intelligence is beyond that of their own group, and negotiating is not easy.

"That's true, but I'm telling the truth. Tang Ning complimented the other party. "I can't say something against my will in front of you. ”

Oguta let out a piercing shrill laugh, and no one hated the praise and praise of others, and the scorpion king was no exception, who dropped the gem and turned back to his throne. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The cunning scorpion clearly knew the purpose of his coming, and his subordinates had already passed those words to this scorpion king, otherwise he would never leave a living mouth, but in the current situation, he must try to obey the other party, Tang Ning looked respectfully at the scorpion king on the throne. "Great King, I am here to make you the true king of the Black Body Continent. ”

"Am I not now?" said Augusta, in a somber voice.

"In my heart, of course, yes, but it's a little regretful. Tang Ning stepped forward, a sincere smile on his face. The Gluck clan disagreed. ”

"The idea of those green-skinned monkeys is not worth referencing. "Aguta seemed a little annoyed.

"It's true that the opinions of those low-IQ guys are not worthy of respect, but what if I have a way to make those green-skinned guys submit to your authority. "Downing is one step closer.

"Liars. Oguta rushed down from his throne, and the huge claws pressed against the young man's neck, and said fiercely, "You don't want to lie to me, no one can do it." ”

"Why do you say that?" Tang Ning looked at the other party in surprise, as if he didn't know everything, but he knew quite well about it all in his heart.

The Scorpion Monarch Oguta had tried to expand his power and use his army to attack places beyond Jesus, he had always wanted to become the true king of the Black Iron Continent, but the indomitable Gluck clan was led by Anduin to defeat his expansion plans again and again, so he could only stay in the Jesus Desert in the end, which was the eternal pain of this king.

Oguta's poison pincers paused on the young man's neck, his eyes revealing loss and unwillingness, and fell silent.

"I think it must be a painful memory, and we can skip it if you don't want to mention it. Downing turned an embarrassing page for the other party. "Now I have to tell you that Anduin has left the position of leader of the Gluck Clan, and the new leader of the Gluck Clan has been ousted, and now they have a new leader, and this leader is not respected by the green-skinned monkeys, and there is a problem within the Gluck Clan. ”

It was the first time that Aguta had heard of this news since he had not left Jesus since several defeats in his previous campaigns, and was completely unaware of the outside world.

Seeing the change in Oguta's eyes, Tang Ning knew that the other party was tempted, and he only needed to continue to give some favorable conditions to be able to rekindle that fire in the heart of the scorpion king. "There is also good news, the enemies of the Gluck Clan, the Blood Clan Orcs, are back, they are now on the Black Iron Continent and are fighting against the Gluck Orcs, and no one wants to miss such a good opportunity. ”

"The Blood Clan is back?" Oguta looked at the young man in shock, his eyes full of doubt.

"That's right, they're back, and they want to take back their homeland. Downing confirmed.

Oguta's venom claws suddenly clamped the young man's neck, and a red mark appeared on his neck, as if he was about to break the opponent's neck, and the scorpion king roared angrily: "Impossible, you are lying to me, the Blood Clan is extinct, and they are forever disappeared from this world." ”

Can't show the slightest nervousness, you have to be calm, Tang Ning endured the sharp pain in his neck, comforted himself, and still had a smile on his face. "They didn't go extinct, they just hid in one place and waited for the chance to return home, and now the opportunity has come, and they are back, if you don't believe me, bring the orcs who came with me, they can prove it. ”

"They have green skin, and your clumsy scam can't fool me. "Auguta's claws are tighter.

"No, they're just taking my potion, and removing the potion will restore their original complexion. Downing tried to breathe as steady as he could.

Soon the orcs were brought up, and Downing gave the vials to a few people to remove the discoloration potion, and Dussel and his companions took it, and their skin returned to red.

Surrounding the red-skinned orcs, Oguta touched their skin with poison claws and exclaimed, "You are not extinct, you are really back." ”

Dussel responded in beast language. "That's right, we're back. ”

Convinced that the young man was telling the truth, Oguta excitedly tapped the ground with his poison tongs and circled around the crowd quickly. "My chance has come, to become the true king of the Black Iron Continent. ”

"As long as you are willing to join us and fight against the Orcs of the Blood Clan against the army of the Gluck Clan, your dream can come true, and now the opportunity is in front of you, and you have to make a choice. Tang Ning urged the scorpion king, whose ambition had been ignited. "Nothing to hesitate about"
