(one hundred and forty-five) Northern Empire

"Scorpion King, you have done all this in exchange for the only remaining trace of peace. If you want this peace to last, then you might as well work with us. Pei Jiu smiled.

"Hehehe, then tell me, what kind of cooperation?" Viola's expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly collected his emotions.

"The Scorpion King has also seen our strength, if you can tell us the whereabouts of Jingluo Stone, then we are willing to guard for you for three years, and at the same time, if Starr or Hearst comes to attack, then we have absolute countermeasures to deal with the two of them, on the human side, I will use my relationship to make the Holy Capital no longer offend, of course, you are not allowed to offend the Holy Capital again. Pei Jiu made his own conditions one by one.

"The terms are tempting, but what if I don't agree?" Viola laughed.

"Then we will use all our strength to wipe out the Scorpion Clan. Pei Jiu's words changed, and there was an aggressiveness in his tone, but he must not disobey the majesty. ”

"Presumptuous!" Hannanu slapped the table, stood up and pointed his murderous intent at Pei Jiu.

The atmosphere in the conference room became murderous, the air between breaths became heavy, and Rick put his hands behind his back, ready to strike at any moment.

"Do you think we have the strength?" said Pejou, ignoring Hannah's murderous aura, and instead looked at Viola with a hint of a smile.

"Hahaha, why are you so nervous, you go out first, Hannah. Viola waved his hand, Hanna still wanted to disobey, but seeing Viola's slightly angry expression, he had to quit. "I can agree to your conditions. But the time you will spend guarding the desert will be changed to five years. ”

"Deal. ”

One person and one scorpion laughed with their own ghosts, and both sides understood in their hearts that neither side had broken it.

The so-called treaties are nothing more than self-interest, everyone takes what they need, and no one infringes on anyone.

"As far as I know, the snake clan has kept a Jingluo stone since ancient times, if it is correct, it should be hidden on Hearst's body, she has been in charge of the snake clan for hundreds of years, presumably the Jingluo stone has already been in her pocket. Viola said.

"Where are we going to find her?"

"The northern part of the Red Xiu Continent, the Empire. Viola said. "The Red Xiu Continent is bounded north of the Jade Capital, and it is an existence that is completely devoid of any alien energy, and no one can break the enchantment left over from ancient times. Only there, Hearst would exhaust all his cultivation, let alone threaten the desert far to the south. ”

"So, you and Hirst were escorted to the north?" Pei Jiu laughed, "It's a good idea, but with the cunning methods of the two of them, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before they escape from the Northern Empire." ”

"Yes, it's time for you to keep your promises. ”

"Of course. ”

"It's a nice conversation, do you want to stay for dinner, and we'll arrange for someone to take you out of the desert later. Viola laughed.

"Thank you Scorpion King for your hospitality, we are still in a hurry, we will talk again when we have the opportunity. Pei Jiu stood up, and Rick and the others were about to leave here with Pei Jiu. "When I go back and make arrangements, I will send someone to garrison this place on the same day. ”

"That's good, everybody, please walk slowly. Viola actually stood up and opened the door for Pei Jiu and the others, "Hannah, escort everyone away." ”

"Yes!"

Hannah led the way, and if there was no one to guide the way through the great palace, they would probably get lost in it.

The seemingly simple dark gold pictures and texts on the wall faintly reveal an extraordinary atmosphere, and even Pei Jiu, a person who has read ancient books, has never seen this kind of material.

Viola and Miranda also followed behind everyone all the way, and this transaction not only brought great security to their scorpion clan, they didn't even pay anything, just got rid of the whereabouts of the Jingluo Stone.

After leaving the palace, everyone stood on a high platform, looking down at the scorpion clan under the steps, the ordinary prosperity here is unbearable to break, although the Medusa clan is extremely cruel, but Viola has greatly changed all this, humans and scorpions live in harmony, they can't even see the violence on the scorpion people.

"Let's go. Hanna led the group back to where they had just come, opened a crack in the void, and stepped into the void on his own.

Everything that is gentle in the illusion world is quickly forgotten, and it is still the exposure of the desert in reality, and when I return to the desert, the scorching sun here is still unbearable, and it is a little difficult to move my feet with the soft sand under my feet.

"Wait a minute, everything around has been tampered with!" Shuqing called out to everyone, the sand under his feet became a little weird, Shuqing, as an earth-based powerhouse, was extremely sensitive to these small changes.

The sense of crisis coming from all directions seemed to be enveloped in everyone's body, and Hannah also secretly said in his heart, could it be that Hirst came back for revenge so soon?

However, the others were very different from what Hannah had in mind, it wasn't Hearst's revenge at all, it was the Stranger they had just encountered!

"It's the killer!" Rick quickly realized who the other man was. "Protect Pei Jiu!"

Xinglun and Shuqing subconsciously leaned against Pei Jiu's side, their position was too passive, and they had to find a high place first.

"You're coming for you?" questioned Hannah.

"Perhaps, this matter has nothing to do with you, you should go back first. Rick said.

"Joke, how can I be the one who escaped from the battle, and since we have reached an alliance, we should advance and retreat together!" shouted Hannah, his voice gruff and inexplicably adding a sense of security to the crowd.

"Go over there!" Pei Jiu pointed to the small dirt slope not far away, where the view was wide and he might be able to find something.

Everyone galloped all the way, vigilantly watching everything around them, that person had already laid a field here, but he didn't launch an attack for a long time, what the hell was he waiting for?

"Oh no, Shadow Spirit......" Rick suddenly sensed that Shadow Spirit was dying, and it seemed to be on the other side of the dirt slope!

Standing at the top, Rick saw that the guy was waiting for everyone there, his hand clutching the barely breathing shadow spirit, waiting there quietly.

It's not that the other party didn't attack at the first time, but the shadow spirit delayed these times for them so that they weren't attacked by that person the moment they came out!

"Damn!" Rick clenched his fists, his pupils bloodshot, Shadow Spirit was Rick's very important companion, but he was ravaged by the enemy like this, how could Rick not be angry!

"Don't be impulsive, Rick, he's from the Killer Temple!" Pejiu recognized the nameplate on the killer's chest, the Killer Temple was as mysterious as a temple, no one knew which island their palace was located on Ares, but they were everywhere.

The people of the Hall of Killers have killed countless people, and they can take on any task, as long as the reward is in place.

There is no mission that cannot be completed in the Killer Temple, and if the first killer fails, then the second killer will be dispatched...... Third place, never-ending!, but it seems that the Killer Hall has no record of failure.

"Who are you, why do you want to kill you next time, we don't know each other at all!" Xinglun shouted indignantly.

"Killer, whale shark. Take the money, do the work. ”

The whale shark's voice was very low, and in just a few words it explained his intention, someone hired someone from the Killer Hall to hunt them down, but they didn't have a grudge against anyone!

The whale shark casually threw the shadow spirit aside, and walked away towards everyone step by step without hesitation, and with each step he took, a piece of armor floated out of the ability lock on his wrist, until he approached everyone twenty meters in front of him, he was completely armed!

"Ability Armor ......" Rick squinted slightly, the Ability Beast on his left wrist had already appeared, and when the Whale Shark armed the armor, he had also armed the Nightshade Armor on his body.

The demonic Nightshade Armor was armed on Rick's body, and even in the light of the scorching sun, it still exuded a cold glow, and with a flick of his hand, the twin shadow blades generated by the shadow were held in his hands, and the realm of darkness was cut off at the same time.

This is the desert, the domain of the Earth Adept, which makes the whale shark as an Earth Adept even more like a fish in water, and Rick must create a dark realm under his control in order to be able to deal with the whale shark.

The enemy in front of him is too strong and too strong, and Rick must be careful with every step, otherwise everyone will die if he takes the wrong step.

"Reign by the Night!"

A dark shadow with a rich dark aura emerged from Rick's feet, and in an instant, it enveloped a radius of hundreds of miles.

Hanna then changed back to the appearance of the scorpion man, the strong and powerful four pairs of scorpion feet supported his nearly two-meter-tall body, the thick and sharp giant sword on his shoulder, and saw that the whale shark was already approaching in front of him, and he took the brunt of the giant sword and rushed forward.

"Boom !!!"

A huge wave of sand rose in the darkness, and the whale shark caught Hannah's greatsword with one hand, and the greatsword and armor collided with each other, flashing brilliant metallic fires.

Darkness was approaching, and Rick had quietly descended behind the whale shark, and the shadow blade in his hand seemed to slash lightly, but it easily broke through the whale shark's armor.

As if losing all its strength, the whale shark let go of the greatsword in his hand and let Hannah cut it in two!

"Sand clone. Pei Jiu saw through the strange appearance of the whale shark at a glance.

Indeed, as Pei Jiu said, the whale shark turned into a pile of sand after being cut into two pieces, but the sense of crisis around him still did not dissipate.

Rick looked around warily as he incorporated the Shadow into the undead space for the Nether to heal him.

"A lot, a lot ......"

Shuqing could feel that there were countless gravels under the ground that were about to move, and countless quicksand appeared under their feet, and the quicksand was not to involve everyone in it, but to absorb the fine sand on the desert!

"Xinglun, take Pei Jiu out of the realm first, and drive Ah Jiu out of the desert immediately!" Shuqing said.
