Chapter 442: Death
The rest of the team also felt the feeling and looked up together.
"Ahh
Several whispers rang out in unison. But I saw that in the sky thousands of feet away on the left, where everyone was, there was a flying beast, from far and near. The image of the flying beast was very intimidating, shaped like a bat, and its wings spread out almost a hundred meters wide, covering a small half of the sky.
The bat is gray and black, except for a pair of dark blue eyes, which are scorching and shining, vicious and evil.
On the back of the huge bat beast, stood a short, sturdy middle-aged man, dressed similarly to a bat, with wide robes and large sleeves.
The bat and the man on the bat flew over everyone in the blink of an eye. The man on it looked down, his gaze as cold as a snake.
In the Nightkin team, there are also six scouts riding leather pterosaurs, and when patrolling the high altitude in front of and behind the team, they will be divided into three groups, two people at a time, and they are responsible for watching the movement near and far in front of the team.
However, at this moment, when the two scouts in the team saw the bat approaching, they all let out a wail, trembling uncontrollably, and they didn't dare to continue flying, and both fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This shows the ferocity of this bat.
What was even more striking was that the bat's sharp teeth were exposed, and blood was dripping from its mouth, as if it had just hunted some kind of creature.
"It turned out to be the Nightkin team. ”
The short man on the giant bat revealed the origin of the Nightkin team.
"This is the beast riding bat under the command of the border smuggling force known as the Bat Army, the thundering bat in front of us is the third-order peak, and the man on it is called Dong Jiu, and it is also the third-order peak, but he is compatible with the bat, even if it is an ordinary fourth-order beginner, it may not be an opponent. And the entire Bat Army has a total of five fourth-order Bat Beasts. and the pilots of the same level as the bats, such a lineup is one of the strongest forces on the border, and the teleportation array rest area we are about to arrive at is controlled by the bat army. ”
Leo whispered to several newcomers beside him, including Fang Di.
At this time, the deputy head of the team, Luck, waved his hand and greeted: "Captain Dong Jiu of the Bat Army is here in person, is he here to inspect the neighborhood?"
The middle-aged man on the bat apparently knows each other with Luck. Urging the foot bat to hover over above Luck's location, he replied indifferently: "It's not that I'm here to patrol, but my riding beast bat is hungry and comes out to find food." Luck, the leader of my Bat Army, Lord Susalan, is sincere and wants to invite you to join us, and the position of the deputy head of our Bat Army is not much better than that of you staying in a small nightcrawler?"
This Dong Jiu of the Bat Army, in front of many members of the Nightkin Army. Digging people without scruples, it can be seen that he didn't take the Nightkin in his eyes at all, and there was no one in his eyes to the extreme, and many of the people in the Nightkin team were angry, but they didn't dare to attack.
At the same time as Dong Jiu's words fell, Fang Di looked at Luck for the first time, and happened to see the smug look on Luck's face flashing.
Obviously, he was dug up by Dong Jiu in public. It is equivalent to reflecting the value of his luck from one side, and this guy is not without complacency in his heart.
Fang Di sighed lightly in his heart. Even though this person's cultivation qualifications are okay, he has a limited city government in his heart, and he thinks that he is too high, so he has a straw bag.
Na Luck was not busy responding to Dong Jiu, but first turned his head to look at Jiu Mulian, and made an affectionate appearance on his face. It's a pity that Jiu Mulian's expression was calm and she didn't look back at Luck.
Luck was somewhat embarrassed and angry at throwing his flattery to the blind man, and said viciously in his heart: "Let you pretend to be high in front of me for a few days, and when you become my crotch minister, I don't want you to give birth to you." If you want to laugh, you will laugh, and you will be treated well."
Luck then said to Dong Jiu on the bat: "Luck is very grateful for the love of the leader of the bat army, but I have already explained this matter to the leader of the bat in person, so I can only say sorry, so I don't bother Dong Jiu to ask more." ”
In the humility of what Luck said, there was a hint of hardness, and his attitude was chic and calm.
There were several female members of the nightkin team, and when they saw that Luck could still deal with the people of the Bat Army so humbly and arrogantly, all of them looked in reverence, and even Jiu Mulian was moved, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in her eyes, and she quietly glanced at Luck.
Dong Jiu on the bat just asked casually, and didn't expect Luck to agree, at this time, he was not annoyed by Luck's rejection, he glanced at Jiu Mulian without smiling, and said indifferently: "Everyone has different preferences, you can't force it, Luck, you don't have to regret it in the future." ”
After that, the huge bat in the sky glided silently, like a black cloud, rolling away.
The team of nightcrawlers, who had been delayed for a while, set off again after Dong Jiu went.
Many people whispered on the road, mostly talking about the majesty of the thundering bat controlled by Dong Dong, and some people praised Luck for his extraordinary demeanor and proper response.
The procession walked peacefully for half an hour, and after turning a low mountain, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, but there was a high ground in front of them, on which a few green plants were sparsely scattered. The point is that in the middle of this wilderness, a small town has emerged, built on a small scale, built on the mountain.
It seems to be quite lively inside, and the faint noise can be heard from afar.
This is especially gratifying for the team of nightcrawlers who have been walking in the wilderness for days, and rarely see people except wild beasts and barren land.
Mu Cheng and Leo beside Fang Di also looked at each other and smiled, their expressions slightly relaxed.
Leo opened his mouth and said to everyone: "This kind of rest area on the smuggling route is full of smugglers, none of them are simple, everyone cheer up, it is strictly forbidden to cause trouble." But don't be afraid, our reputation as a nightcrawler is not weak, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke, others don't dare to take the initiative to provoke us. ”
Everyone agreed in unison.
Soon after, their team walked into the smuggling rest area in front of them.
The entire rest area covers an area of less than three miles, which is not too big, and the ground is fairly flat, but there is no decoration to pave, just a yellow-brown dirt pavement. The buildings in the rest area are all wooden, but they are also distinctive, but unfortunately they are full of people everywhere and look a little cluttered.
After entering the rest area, there is only a main road that runs through the front and back, and the people you meet along the way are a little unscrupulous in their eyes. There are many outlaws who stop here as smugglers on the border, all of them thorns, and there is no one to fear when they see a small and famous team like the Night Klin. There are also many people who whistle wildly at Jiu Mulian. Even make indecent gestures and have a presumptuous attitude.
Jiu Mulian is not a new chick, she has naturally experienced many similar scenes, and she has long been accustomed to it, sitting on the riding beast with an expressionless face.
The Nightkin team is accustomed to this smuggling route, and it is familiar with the way here. Soon found a small post house in the nature of a courtyard to settle in.
The owner of the courtyard was an old man with an ordinary face, and Fang Di saw Luck go up and talk to the old man, asking about the big and small things that had happened on this smuggling route in the recent past.
After entering the small courtyard, Fang Di and the other new members had nothing to do for the time being, while Jiu Mulian and Luck, as well as another middle-aged strong man, went out together to contact the teleportation and leave.
Leo led the crowd to wait in the courtyard, and he waved his hand, "You can go out if you want." But remember that at most an hour, we will teleport away, and you must come back before that. ”
Shansu and the others all looked excited, and they screamed with a few old team members and swarmed away.
Fang Di didn't have this interest, Shi Shiran found a tree stump in a corner of the courtyard and squatted down, chatting with Buster in his thoughts. Now Anubis's undead army is in the underworld, and has crossed the middle of the underworld. Heading into the deepest reaches of the underworld.
Fang Di was just about to divide his thoughts and enter the underworld to see the situation, when he saw Leo coming over and asking, "Why don't you go out for a walk?"
Fang Di shook his head and said, "It's only an hour's stay time." It's better to rest for a while and not go out. ”
Leo smiled and squatted down beside Fang Di, and the two chatted.
Fang Di said curiously, "I haven't been to the area ruled by the Shadows, can Team Leader Leo tell me about the form over there?" I heard that the Shadow Clan uses other races as food to absorb them. Treat people like animals in captivity. In that case, we're going to ship things over there, and we're selling them to the ShadowClan or their men?"
Before Leo could speak, another voice rang out, "Neither." For example, if you have a pet with the intention of eating it in the future, but don't you still have to feed it before you eat it, and then you can eat it?"
It was Mu Cheng who spoke, and he also walked over and explained with a smile.
Mu Cheng's metaphor is easy to understand, and people can understand it as soon as they hear it.
Fang Di said: "What does Elder Mu mean is that the shadow creatures let us resell the goods in the past, so that the fat and strong horses raised by the captive people can be 'eaten' more fragrant in the future?"
Mu Cheng sighed and said: "It's not just that simple, when you get to the place, you will know that it has been ruled by the Shadow Clan for a long time, and many people have been completely domesticated by the Shadow Clan, and they no longer regard themselves as human beings, and even think that they can be absorbed and devoured by the Shadow Clan and become 'food', which is a kind of honor to dedicate themselves to the gods." ”
Fang Di sighed, and said in a gentle voice: "Is there any means to make people willing to die, and they still feel that it is an honor?"
Leo seemed to have scruples and didn't want to say more, but he seemed to be very experienced, and Mu Cheng, who was a little cautious, opened the conversation, thought about it and lowered his voice: "Since ancient times, wanting to change people's thinking and do such an extreme thing as taking death as pleasure is nothing more than religious means!"
He added: "The area occupied and ruled by the Shadow Clan, there are many sects that prevail, as long as you join it, you will be infiltrated by subtle ideas, and over time, more and more people think that dedicating themselves to the Shadow Clan is a mission that they are destined to be born with. Therefore, it is considered that it is a supreme honor to be absorbed by the Shadow Clan. ”
Leo was obviously also touched by a certain emotion in his heart, and after a little hesitation, he said in a low voice: "What Mu Lao said is right. Places that have been ruled by the Shadow Clan for more than a hundred years are now mostly focused on the Shadow Clan, but instead think that our people in the Five Directions Domain have gone into a heresy that goes against the path of the gods and should be exterminated. ”
Fang Di said solemnly, "What are the names of the sects over there of the Shadow Clan?"
Mu Chengdao: "There are many sects, I don't know what their names are, but most of the teachings are similar, they all preach that there is only one true god in the world, and the Shadow Clan is the god race appointed by the true god to enter the world, and it is responsible for the mission of saving this universe." ”
There were many people in this small courtyard, and Mu Cheng stopped talking on a whim, after saying a few words, he didn't want to go deeper.
In less than an hour, Shansu and others, who had gone out, came back one after another.
After all, the Nightkin team has been in and out of this border many times, and they have a lot of experience and reputation. Therefore, after coming here, no one came to provoke them, and time passed in peace.
When Jiu Mulian and Luck came back with the people, everyone was ready to teleport out of this rest area and set off immediately.
Their team soon came to the foot of a hill bordering the back of the rest area, and went straight into the belly of the mountain along a passage that opened the mountain, and finally saw a teleportation array in the shape of a huge ring in a stone hall in the center of the mountain.
There were more than a dozen people from the Bat Army guarding around the teleportation array, and a few people who were also preparing to teleport away, among them were two young men, one wearing a pale yellow noble robe with silver trim, and the other wearing a clean white shirt. When the two saw Fang Di and the others walking in, they turned their heads and glanced at them, and then withdrew their gazes.
When Fang Di saw one of the two young men, he narrowed his eyes quietly.
In the smuggling rest area at the border, you can actually meet people you know.
