Act VIII: The Dark Serpent's Fangs
"It's best to go to the glorious patrol, this is essentially a plan to plunder the land. In this way, basically all the states of affairs can be taken into account. ”
Tang Ze thought calmly, "There will be no so-called accidents. ”
Combined with the information provided by the Countess, it was easy to think of the Sawyer Alliance recovering the land in the name of "Glorious Patrol", and then sending some people to obstruct it and participate in this competition.
Of course, there are surprises in everything.
It's possible that the team that has passed through here has come for some other purpose, and that is a low-probability accident.
What's so unusual about a border village? It's not worth making a big deal to prepare for the team competition, so the unexpected can basically be ruled out.
Suddenly, Tang Ze's dark green pupils dilated slightly, and his mountain-like head turned in the other direction, which was hidden by a series of dense forests, on the other side of the Taimo Mountain Line.
It's about a few hundred meters away from here, and the sharp gaze seems to pierce everything.
At the same time, Countess Caria, who was waiting nervously, also received a message from her subordinates.
"Master, a human team of thirty-two people passed through the dense forest ahead, do you want to?"
Somewhat guilty of discovering the situation one step later than Tang Ze, the countess asked in a soft voice.
At the moment, these thirty-two people could not have turned back from before, which means that these thirty-two people may be another group of competitors, or reinforcements from one side of the other?
In an instant, several possibilities swept through Tang Ze's mind, and he immediately waved his hand.
"Keep up and find out their specific situation first."
Fighting with the human team, Tang Ze was not worried at all, he was afraid that the attacked human team would report the situation through some means, so that he would not have the advantage of being in the shadows.
But then again, Tang Ze didn't know anything about these human means of communication, and sometimes he was powerless even if he wanted to be on guard.
But he won't let go of the prey at hand for this reason.
"The worst-case scenario is that the Sawyer Alliance and the Divine Doctrine know that there is a group of demons attacking humans in the Taymor Mountains, and if they handle it properly, they will not be able to find the traces and then find the manor of the Black Wasteland."
This is what happened after he realized that he might not be the enemy of the human forces, and even then, it was within the scope of acceptance.
Then there is nothing to worry about.
While pondering, Tang Ze shared the perspective of a dark gold depraved Rog under his hand, observing the thirty-two humans who were resting in the dense forest.
Obviously, they are not professionals, but they are human beings with special powers, or strong fighting power.
The black robes of all colors, with light red lines on the shoulders, and traces of armor faintly visible under the loose robes, show that this team is not ordinary robbers and thieves. This is also reflected in their orderly vigilance, although they are trimming, but there is no need for words, one member of the team takes over to check the surroundings, and the body is also in a state of readiness for battle.
In addition, they have very distinct signs on their bodies, unified behind their robes, a twisted dark serpentine pattern, spitting scarlet letters.
"Do you recognize the meaning of that sign?"
Tang Ze spoke lightly to the countess beside him.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I've never seen one."
Karia bowed her head with some guilt, although she instinctively thought that this group of people might be related to the humans who had left earlier, but there was no basis for it, and it was impossible to mislead her master.
"Then go down and ask."
Tang Ze said casually, his words made the countess slightly startled, but the latter quickly adjusted and nodded.
The master was far-sighted, and every step was surprisingly wise, and she should pay more attention and ask fewer questions.
Ordering the more than forty powerful dark gold fallen Rog next to him, all of whom were above Lv25, to maintain the encirclement, to detect the enemy and prevent these people from escaping, the countess then followed Tang Ze's tall figure and slowly moved towards the location of the thirty-two people.
Tang Ze didn't deliberately hide the sound of his footsteps, and when he approached nearly eighty meters, in the field of vision of the dark gold fallen Luoge, a tall man holding a black kettle to drink water stopped his movements, and his cold and fierce gaze suddenly fell in the direction where Tang Ze was, as if it was a signal.
"Someone."
The hoarse voice echoed lowly, and everyone who was nearby lowered their bodies, ready to rush out at any moment.
At the same time, faint fluctuations spread out from the wrists of the foremost people, spreading out in all directions in a circle.
This is commonly used detective magic, and is generally powered by the Magic Ring, a common item for the Divine Doctrine of the Magic Ring and the Sawyer Alliance. The divergent ripples will sweep out, and once it touches an object that carries too much vitality, it will bounce back, and it will feed back the opponent's position more accurately, although it is a common prop, but with the magic pattern and spar material on it, it is also worth dozens of gold coins.
"Huh?"
After about a breath, the tall man was stunned for a moment, gently shaking the magic ring in his left hand, and a look of doubt flashed under his eyes.
Why didn't any ripples come back, the Divine Doctrine has tested the strength of ripples, even half-dead thieves can't avoid this detection of magic, let alone humans with more power, even professionals.
In the dense jungle where the sunlight was a little dim, there seemed to be an oppressive and deep darkness in front of them.
In fact, there were a total of three detection ripples, and the moment they approached Tang Ze, they were stopped by the demonic scales on the surface of the dark green armor, and then sucked in like drinking water, and the stone sank into the sea without waves.
Detect that the ripples cannot be recovered, and the magic ring cannot be inducted.
It can be said that this is the absolute power gap, and it is an essential gap.
The footsteps approached, and the tall man motioned for his companions to disperse, then pinched the dagger in his hand and frowned at the tall figure that brushed away the leaves.
The incomparably thick pitch-black armor is like it is made of pitch-black ice, and the cold is heard just by standing there, and the surface of the armor seems to have light-colored patterns, which is very complex and weird.
The mountain-like body brought too much oppression, and at the same time, it also confused them.
This style of armor is simply not something that humans can wear, let alone any armor style they know.
If the tall figure made it difficult for them to breathe, then the fair-skinned, somewhat petite figure after that surprised the thirty-two people slightly.
The overly delicate countenance, with a touching beauty, exudes a very dangerous aura, and waits beside the tall figure like a maid.
This combination has a strong visual impact.
"That snake, what's the sign?"
Tang Ze pointed behind him, and then asked in a deep voice in fluent Canduran.
The atmosphere fell silent.
What an earth-shattering question.
The tall man stared at the tall black shadow in front of him, muttering in his heart.
The Dark Serpent Team is essentially a special team of the Divine Doctrine, and on the surface it is one of the branches of the largest black force in Canduras, the "Gluttonous Serpent", gathering a considerable number of evil fanatics and dark wizards.
Is this kind of inquiry a mockery? Test?
