Chapter 334: The Man Behind the Scenes
After a feast of rabbit meat, nine boys and girls lay on their backs on a haystack in the corner of the cave. In this wilderness, it is the happiest thing in the world to find a cave that shelters from the wind and rain, and sleeps on the soft and fragrant hay.
"What do you say......" Fan Qian started the small talk before going to bed, "Senior Guo, how are they now?"
Hearing this name, he thought of the nineteen people who had parted ways with the nine of them, and said proudly: "It's hard to say whether they live or die, but they certainly won't be able to eat such delicious meat, and they won't be able to live in such a comfortable cave! Do you think they can catch fish, they can't really be grazing?
Su Ze...... Junior brother," because of the dispute in the evening, Huang Tongxian is still embarrassed to talk to Su Ze, even if he musters up the courage, he is embarrassed to call Su Ze by name, "The competition time is only one week, and this Warcraft Forest stretches for hundreds of miles. If you want to go back and forth within a week, you have to arrive at the location of the relic beast by the day after tomorrow at the latest, is there any time?"
Su Ze touched the fluff of the ball, closed his eyes and said, "Our purpose is not in the soul grass, what is the time of the game?" I am going to the soul spar, and I will not give up until I achieve my goal." Of course, this was the idea of this morning, and now that I calculate it, I will definitely be able to reach the center of the ruins the day after tomorrow. ”
Fan Qian asked puzzledly: "Where do you get your confidence?"
Su Ze replied casually: "Didn't Senior Sister Chen fall? After you left, I carefully touched around there for a while, and sure enough, I found a circle of fairly angular marks. Qiuqiu and I strayed into the Ninth Ruin, and I still remember the size of the Ruin Boundary Monument. If my calculation is correct, the place where I stumbled upon Senior Sister Chen should be the location of the previous ruin boundary monument. After those people dug up the boundary pillars, they filled in the soil again and buried them, and within a month, the grass was lush and green, but unexpectedly, a heavy rain misplaced the soft new soil and the tight old soil, and finally exposed the traces of the boundary pillars. ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone sat up in fright, turned their heads to look at Su Ze in unison, and asked in disbelief, "So...... We are now ...... Already in the ruins?" In just a moment, they suddenly felt that this cave was not safe at all!
Although Su Ze did not have the confidence to win the Seventh Relic Beast, he was fearless at this moment. He still didn't open his eyes, and only said, "Shizun never thought of cultivating me as a summoner, so I didn't talk much about topics like ruins and abysses. But I remember him saying that the higher the ranking, the larger the territory of the relic beast. With my footsteps, from the discovery of the boundary monument of the ninth ruin, to the meeting of Chubby, it took a whole day. The territory of the Seventh Ruins must be larger, and with the addition of your footsteps, two days should be about the same. ”
Among the eight people who sat up, except for Li Shasha, everyone else heard the name "Fat Fat" for the first time, and even Fan Qian, Qi Youliang, and Huang Tongxian had never seen the body of the Hill Worm, so they inevitably asked curiously at this time: "Is 'Fat Fat' the name of the Ninth Relic Beast?"
As for the naming of the hill worm, the cause and effect are also quite interesting. Just when Su Ze was silent for a moment because of his memories, Qiuqiu had already shouted loudly: "Qiuqiu is Qiuqiu, Chubby is Chubby!"
Hearing Qiuqiu's vague description, everyone imagined a picture of a white fur ball that was so big, and a vicious monster was killed in one sitting. As everyone knows, this picture is still a bit kawaii......
At this time, Li Shasha asked curiously, "Who dug up the relic boundary monument?"
Su Ze rubbed the ball and said, "Moroko told us that the carriage carrying the stone tablet into the city will be treated favorably by the defenders. In this way, there are only two possibilities: either the centurion of the Dongcheng District of Gray Elephant City is plotting this, or the city lord of Gray Elephant City is adding fuel to the fire and wants us contestants to die. ”
Li Shasha thought for a while, and then said: "Although finance, commerce, industry, agriculture, and education are all led by different officials, the power of dispatching the troops in each city is inevitably in the hands of the city lord. If a centurion intends to conceal a ruin, even if he can deceive the world for a moment, it is impossible to hide it from the city lord for a day. If what he said is true, then whether it is the power of the army, the ability to conceal the city's people, or the motive of killing us, he is the driving force behind the digging up of the ruins boundary monument!"
"My little Sasha is just smart. Su Ze was able to accurately touch Li Shasha's head with his eyes closed just by listening to the voice, and then said: "Senior Sister Liu Di said before she died that she didn't know that there was a relic hidden in this forest, and I also confirmed that she didn't lie by knocking on the side. You say, did Black Cherry hide the ruins from her men because she was worried that they would be afraid of the ruins and retreat, or because they had already mastered the method of turning the Warcraft Forest into ruins, so they could discard these dozens of chess pieces without care?"
"Black Cherry has mastered the method of creating relics, is this impossible!" Fan Qian shook his head and exclaimed, this fear from the depths of his soul and the blood marrow in his bones made him unable to control the trembling of his voice at all!
The Empire of Zalben was the Seventh Empire of the Samene continent, and its predecessor, King Darwin XIX, was an ambitious statesman. More than ten years ago, the king summoned a full twenty dragon knights from all over the country and ordered them to join forces to fight the first ruin in his country, trying to break the ranking of the seven empires with this battle. Unexpectedly, the twenty dragon knights did not return, and the top combat force group in the country was actually killed by a No. 1 relic beast to the point of no bones! It was precisely because of this defeat that the Empire of Zaiben was even more determined to be the status of the Seventh Empire, and so far it can only rely on the "Peace Treaty of the Seven Kingdoms" signed by the first king to survive.
This story is a well-known story in almost the entire continent. Every young summoner with a heart full of enthusiasm and delusional ambitions will also use this story to remind themselves that they should do what they can, and don't try to make a name for themselves by attacking ruins, unless you have the ability to torture and kill twenty dragon summoners!
Looking back at this story again, Fan Qian's fear is not difficult to understand.
Because there are bound to be square stone tablets with numbers written around the ruins, there has been a suspicion that the ruins were not naturally formed. However, if Black Cherry really masters the method of creating ruins, then the Zex Empire, which they regard as the "first step towards the bright world", will surely suffer a catastrophe!
Su Ze closed his eyes, but he could feel Fan Qian's panic more deeply from his voice, so he comforted: "Xiaofan, don't panic first, everything is just speculation." ”
Fan Qian hugged his head and shouted: "You don't understand the horror of the First Relic Beast at all! If Black Cherry has mastered the method of creating relics, then have they also mastered the method of controlling the Relic Beast? Why do you need eighteen ruins, just one First Relic Beast is enough to turn the entire Zex Empire into a real abyss!"
