Verse 91: The strong enemy Mane
Muban's narrative is clear, and his psychological impression of the needle gold as a hero arranged by the gods to save them is also very natural.
Needle Gold remained silent, and his heart was greatly touched by Mu Ban's last words.
"If all this is arranged by the gods, then why am I not answering every prayer?"
"As a Templar, shouldn't you be under the watchful eye of the Holy Emperor all the time?"
"Do you mean...... Is the non-response to my prayers the arrangement of the Emperor Shengming?"
Or...... Is all of this a special test for me by Emperor Shengming?"
"The magic core in my heart is also part of the test?"
"Wait a minute, you mean you were teleported here a few days ago?" asked Acansu, who was also listening.
"yes. Five days ago, to be exact. Muban replied.
Greybeard and Needle Gold glanced at each other.
None of them doubted Mu Ban's words, after all, if they lied on this point, they would be easy to see. There are so many more people here.
Of course, it is not excluded that everyone conspires to speak in unison.
But this is unlikely, and the most important thing is that there is no profit in lying on this point.
"Alas!" Aosu sighed, "I didn't expect so much to happen in the camp after I left. ”
Needlegold's face was calm: "This is normal. You and I have experienced that watching food run out, or under the pressure of death, often drives people crazy, into hysteria, and behaving against the norm. ”
Touched by these words, he lowered his eyes slightly, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was bruised because of the force, and his breathing, which had been steady, became disordered.
And a true leader should not be swallowed up by his own selfish desires and become a parasite that feeds on the lives and blood of his subordinates. The first mate has gotten the fate he deserves. ”
"If it were me, I would personally lead a second expedition into the rainforest to find more food and water for everyone after the team's mysterious disappearance. That's what a leader should do. Needle Gold continued.
Cyanoza stood behind Needlegold, looking at the young knight's back, his dark eyes lit up again, and his breathing became calm again.
In front of everyone, Ayosu praised loudly, "My lord, I have no doubt about your determination to carry out all this. Your bravery, your virtues, are the reasons why we are united with you and listen to all your commands. The island is a land of the devil, full of tribulations and hardships. Mu Ban is right, you are the hero sent by the gods to save us!"
"It's just that Lord Needle Gold, and now I'm very worried about one thing. ”
"Rope, the old shipwright, and others went to cut timber, and they have not returned. ”
"Oh?" Needle Jin frowned and looked at Mu Ban, "Before they leave, when will they come back?"
Mu Ban looked at the sky: "According to the agreement, they should have returned to the camp fifteen minutes ago." ”
"No, they're also attacked by the beasts, are they?" said a sad look on Muban's face.
"Release, don't worry, there's a stupid, stupid, stupid big guy here. Fat Tongue said.
Heijuan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Although the stupid big man has giant blood, his life level has also reached the black iron level. But he only relied on brute force and did not practice any martial arts. What if you encounter the silver-level rhinoceros that crashed into the wooden house just now? Even if there is no silver monster, a group of manta monkeys will besiege it, and the stupid big man will be in danger of his life. ”
The level of life does not mean victory or defeat.
"Lord Needle Gold, there's one more thing I'm very concerned about. Cangsu continued, "Why did the group of manta monkeys and the silver rhinoceros attack the camp?"
"Five days ago, they were teleported to the forest and began repairing the camp. For five days, they had just been attacked by the herd. ”
Needle Gold's brows furrowed even deeper: "Cangsu, you mean that if this camp encroaches on the territory of the beasts, they should attack on the first or second day. It is indeed strange to delay until the fifth day before attacking. ”
"And. "Why would the Silver Rhino attack here with the bats? And the silver rhinoceros left the camp after ramming the cabin, which was unnatural. ”
"I don't have enough evidence, but I have a feeling that I can't put it into words. It's like, as if they're being manipulated artificially. ”
"Manipulation?" the others couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.
"Is it difficult, is it that the other party, there are beast tamers and beast masters?" asked the fat tongue.
Cangsu said in a deep voice, "You don't necessarily need a beast trainer. In fact, most of the beasts, even the monsters, are intellectually retarded. As long as you are familiar with the habits, you can use them. For example, if we use the feces of high-level demonic beasts to place around the camp, we can drive away low-level demonic beasts. For example, when we use bait when we fish, aren't these all behaviors that affect these wild life?"
Hearing this, Zidi's face changed slightly, and a chill arose in her heart.
She looked at the needle gold and shouted, "My lord, that armor ......"
As soon as she spoke, Needlegold had already taken out the nail plate.
"Any of you wear armor of this material?" asked Needle Gold as he realized something.
Mu Ban shook his head: "As you can see, my lord. It's a fine steel, and we can't afford it. Our warriors, most of whom wore leather armor. Even if there is, it is half a pair of iron armor, and there is no such steel armor. ”
"Ahh
"Who is he?" asked Needle Gold as he narrowed his eyes.
"He, he, he, just, just, just ......" The more nervous the fat tongue was, the more he stammered.
"It's Mane!" Black Roll took his words, and his face was also nervous, "The whole ship, Mane Ge has such a high-quality battle armor." I've seen him wear it many times, and when he defeated the stupid big one, he wore the steel armor. This should be a fragment of his armor!"
"No way. Muban vetoed, "How can Mango be around? ”
"No, you've been teleported. Zidi's eyes sparkled, "Didn't you just say that?" Mane pursued you, and you were suddenly teleported. It is also possible that Mango and his gang will be teleported. ”
The needle's gold finger rubbed the broken nail piece, and his face was solemn.
All the clues indicate that Mango and his group of pursuers have also been teleported.
The traces that Needle Gold saw before were left by Mane Ge's group. The reason why they cleaned up the battlefield should be the group of Cord and Muban.
"It must be Mane!" Black Roll suddenly cut into the matter, "The group of manta monkeys and the silver rhinoceros were also lured by Mane Ge and attacked my camp." ”
Cang Xu was slightly stunned: "Do you have any basis?"
"Hmph, don't forget, he's a half-orc. There must be a connection between him and the beasts, and he must have a way to influence the herd. "Black Scroll.
Needle Jin shook his head slightly: "The bloodline of orcs and half-orcs can indeed be close to beasts, but this does not prove that Mane Ge and his gang are the murderers of the plotting camp." In fact, the penetrating wounds on the captain's corpse are not enough to prove that Mango is the real murderer. ”
"Your Excellency. The black scroll stroked his chest and bowed to the needle, "You are worthy of a Templar, always upholding the spirit of justice and fairness. But my suspicions about Mango are not unfounded. ”
"He's highly trained in combat!" Kuromaki continued.
Everyone looked at each other.
Kuromaki added: "Every mercenary, or every sailor, is trained in combat. When I talk about this kind of combat training, I am not this kind of ordinary training, but military training. ”
"Believe me, I'm sure he once served in the army. Only after rigorous military training and service in the army will he have such a military air on him, which I know best. ”
"Mane Ge's cultivation is black iron, and his skills are very powerful. I witnessed the whole battle when he defeated the stupid big guy with three punches and two kicks, and it was very clean. He used his power to the fullest!"
"The most important thing is that on this island, we can't use fighting spirit and magic, and when we fight, we can only rely on martial arts and the strength and agility of our bodies themselves. ”
"Mango has the blood of a lion, and his strength, speed, stamina, etc., are much higher than our pure-blood races. With his high-grade battle armor, he even resisted the sweep of the stupid big tree's trunk!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, think about it. Why doesn't such a strong man continue to stay in the army? No army will let go of such an elite as long as it is possible, right? As long as he serves with peace of mind, his future is very bright! Unless he commits a major mistake and lets the army know that he is a cunning and evil person, he will be expelled from the army. ”
Heijuan's analysis did make some sense, and Mu Ban, Fat Tongue and the others couldn't help but nod slightly when they heard it.
In fact, at this time of year, people who take the Pig's Kiss and venture to the wilderness continent cannot be taken lightly.
Most of them are people who can't get along in the Shengming Continent, or whose lives are not satisfactory. Regardless of the danger to their lives, they just want to get the opportunity and gain from the war. They are adventurers and can also be criminals.
For example, White Bud, he needs to be a knight.
For example, Cangsu, he is a wanted criminal.
Even if it is needle gold, he is also on a mission to revive the family.
The needle rubbed the hilt of the sword, lost in thought.
From the descriptions of Mu Ban and Black Roll, as well as from the panicked demeanor of the fat tongue, it can be seen that Mane Ge is powerful.
Mango is a hybrid of orcs and humans, and his status as a half-orc is not popular in human society. More precisely, discrimination.
However, on the island, Mango's identity as an orc makes Mango's combat power stand out.
"If I don't mutate, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat Mango. ”
"Mutation is the chance to win. But the mutation can't be seen, once the demon core in the heart is used, you have to guarantee that Mane Ge will definitely die!"
Needle Gold felt a sense of pressure.
He didn't need to fight hard, he prayed to the gods but didn't respond, he couldn't get the blessing of divine magic, and he could only rely on the strength of his body.
He didn't even know what his cultivation was, and although his physical fitness was far beyond the standard of ordinary people, his strength, speed, and so on were like that.
If it weren't for the heart core, if it wasn't for some luck, if it weren't for the tenacious perseverance of the needle, the needle would have died long ago.
"So, my opponent this time is not a monster, but a human?"
