"There was a monster attack here not long ago, and the nearby roads, including the road into the mountains, have been destroyed by monsters, and we need to reach the Kata tribe camp before dark, so the road will be a little bumpy later. Bran, the caravan director who was sitting on the back of Bushan, handed Leo, who had just sat down beside him, a pungent-smelling cyan fruit, and suggested, "If you feel a little uncomfortable, you can take this awakening fruit in your mouth, it will relieve the discomfort." ”

"Thank you. Leo didn't refuse the other man's kindness, took the awakening fruit, and then put his focus back elsewhere.

For him, the Moisan Continent is a very novel place, after leaving the Torch Port City, which is not much different from other mainland port cities, and really entering the land of the Moissanite Continent, he felt the difference between the Moissanite Continent and the other two continents, and this difference is mainly reflected in the strength of the energy fluctuations in the surrounding air.

The situation in the port city is not too unusual, but after leaving the port city, the surrounding energy fluctuations become more intense and restless, as if from a calm lake area into a sea of waves.

What's more, there is also an unknown energy hidden in these subtle energies in the air, which Leo can't clearly perceive, and he can only feel that this energy should be related to the unknown forces that cause various mutations in the whole world, based on some of his reactions to this energy.

In the Velon, I don't know if it's because of the Black Forest, or because there are a large number of mutated families in the Velonon Continent itself, the energy in the air there does not contain this special unknown energy, which may also be the reason why the mutations in the Velonon Continent are mainly based on dependents, mutants and other mutated creatures that are in a state of mutation, and the main reason why the types and magnitudes of mutations of ordinary species in the Velonon Continent are not as large as those in the Moissanite Continent.

For example, the Moissanite unique pack beast Bushan is a typical example of the biological mutation of the Moissanite Continent, Bushan is the earliest beast domesticated by humans in the Moissanite Continent, and has become an indispensable domestic animal in the Moissanite Continent under the domestication of thousands of years, its meat is edible, the skin can be made into a fart brother, the internal organs are one of the main materials of the shamanic medicine, the bone can be made into ornaments, and it is also the best means of transportation in the mountainous continent of the Moissanite Continent when it is alive.

In the past, the normal body shape of Bushan was about the height of an adult, and the length of two adults, although it was also considered a large beast, but it was barely in the acceptable range, and now after a series of mutations, Bushan's body shape has become several times larger, and it is almost the same as a small mountain, like the current caravan of Bran Fire Dancer, and a small house with a special character is installed on the back of Bushan, which looks like a mobile home from a distance.

In the Moisan Continent, ordinary creatures like Bushan that have undergone huge mutations abound, and even some domesticated poultry have undergone atavism, and the beast nature has reappeared in them, and the interesting thing is that these domestic animals that were once slaughtered by humans at will have now become the most headache mutant monsters in the various city-states of the Moissanite Continent.

The beast tide that happened in Torchport City not long ago mentioned in Bran's words was caused by these mutated monsters that used to be domestic animals, and nearly seventy percent of the beast tides that occurred in the Moisan Continent were also caused by such monsters, and those more powerful wild mutant creatures and monsters rarely attacked humans in the form of beast tides, and even if they were large, they were not very large.

In addition to the extraordinary and supernormal powers used by gods, wizards, controllable mutants, etc., the main weapon used by human civilization to resist the tide of mutant beasts is the cannon erected on the city wall that fires special shells.

This is because the high-energy substances needed to make special bullets and explosive shells in the past are no longer scarce materials, and now almost every mutant creature has such high-energy materials, and when the supply of materials is stable, special weapons can naturally be openly supplied and used.

For example, in the current caravan, nearly half of the people are equipped with guns that fire special bullets, and although the other half still use cold weapons and mechanical bows, some of their arrows are also modified with special bullets, and the power is not much worse than that of firearms.

And when dealing with the monster beast tide mutated from domestic animals, these cities on the Moissanite continent don't need to use any extraordinary power prepared on the city wall at all, and only need to use the artillery of these special ammunition to cover the attack in a large area, but these cannons also destroy the infrastructure outside the city while killing and injuring mutated monsters in a large area, so after each beast tide, there will be a large number of workers outside the city to repair various infrastructures, such as roads and so on.

Because the environment around Torch Harbor is mountainous and forested, the suburbs here do not have a large amount of farmland like other plain cities, except for the safety of the city, a large number of trees will be cut down around the city to build a vacant land fence, the rest of the city will still remain in the most pristine state of forest.

The road built by Torch Harbor only leads to a hunter's rest area at the edge of the deep forest, which is not only the last safe area for hunters in Torch Harbor before entering the mountain, but also the warning area or sentry tower area before the appearance of each beast tide, which is located on the top of a relatively high altitude, and has a towering masonry sentry tower, standing at the top of the sentry tower, you can see most of the area from the coastline to the depths of the forest, as long as a particularly discerning lookout is arranged to stand here, any large-scale animal tide can be predicted here in advance, and notify the Torch Harbor City side。

Because after seeing the movement of the beast tide, it was difficult for the people in the hunter's rest area to run back to Torchport City, so they could only resist the attacks of the monsters in the rest area, and the way they resisted was through the strong bunker.

It's just that unless it's the garrison sent by Torch Harbor to the rest area, the other people who enter the bunker can only stay on the first layer, and these people are also the first layer of defense against the monsters that invade the bunker.

It is also because of this practice of Torch Harbor that many people are curious about the situation in the deeper part of the bunker, and from the original construction materials leaked from some places on the first floor of the bunker that there is no way to modify, it is judged that this bunker may have been built by a prehistoric civilization, and the people of Torch Harbor just accidentally discovered this bunker and used it.

Leo also heard some things about the bunker when the caravan passed through the rest area, so when the caravan went through the customs clearance procedures and carried out the final material preparations, he extended the spirit net to the underground and scanned the underground situation.

And the results of the scan also confirmed some rumors, this bunker is indeed very ancient, not built by Torch Harbor, nor built by prehistoric civilizations, it looks more like an inverted wizard tower, but there is no supernatural power related to wizards here, just a simple bunker building.

The area inside the bunker is very huge, extending down to the bottom of this high mountain at an altitude of more than 400 meters, and the interior of the mountain has been hollowed out by nearly a third, according to Leo's estimate, even if half of the people in the torch harbor are crammed into it, it will not feel crowded.

The exploration and use of this bunker in Torch Harbor only stayed in the space of more than 20 meters on the top layer of the bunker, as for the area below, perhaps because of the mountain movement caused by the earthquake, so that a complete building was lazy to cut off, and this fault is at least ten meters or more, and it is difficult to excavate with the current strength of Torch Harbor.

As for the area that had been explored, it had been reused, and what had been found here should have been removed long ago, and now it had been converted into warehouses and barracks, and the garrison was stationed here in a much larger number than was known from outside, and it seemed that they wanted to use this place as a key force in the event of an attack on Torch Harbor.

If there was enough time, Leo would have taken the time to explore the depths of the bunker and study the origin of the bunker, but now Leo only wanted to reach the new port as soon as possible, so after the caravan completed the formalities, he left with the caravan.

After leaving the Hunter's Rest Area, although it is still located on the western side of the Newsky Mountains, closer to Torch Harbor, it is already considered a new Porto district in terms of administrative division.

Because of this, Torch City is no longer responsible for the road to cross the Newsky Mountains after resting, and now this mountain road to the Lookout Watchtower on the east side of the Newsky Mountains is an unmanaged mountain road, and because the mountain road is difficult to walk, more people like to go to the Hope Port in the New Portato area by sea, such as the Fire Dancer Caravan, there are only one or two land caravans a month.

In fact, if it is only from the point of view of the convenience and speed of travel, the Fire Dancer Caravan should not choose to take the land route, at least the route from Torch Harbor to the New Porte District, but the Fire Dancer Caravan is not just a simple caravan, it also shoulders tasks such as establishing contact with other indigenous tribes on the Moisan continent, and there is such a very important aboriginal tribe at the end of the Nusky Mountains.

In the Moisan Continent, in the face of the continuous invasion of civilizations from the other two continents of the Velen World, most of the primitive tribes in the Moissanite Continent either completely integrated into the new civilized society, or chose to leave the land that had been invaded and entered the deeper part of the wasteland to retain the most primitive state of their tribes.

However, there are also some tribes who choose other methods, such as the Kata tribe that went north to the northern end of the Newsky Mountains, settled in the primeval forests in the mountains, and still maintained an intact tribal culture, but also came into contact with the outside civilization, and influenced the power struggle of the outside civilization.

Although there is no substantial evidence, there is always a theory in the Kuishan Confederate that it was the Kata tribe that led the establishment of the Confederate State, and then the division of New Portato County into two was also secretly led by it.

Although the Kata tribe and the top brass of the Quisan Confederate State have never acknowledged such claims, the special status enjoyed by the Kata tribe in the Allied Parliament and the special commercial power that the Kata tribe had in the territory of the Allied State showed how much influence the Kata tribe had within the Allied Nation.

Because the Kata tribe lives in the deep mountains and old forests, no one knows how many people the Kata tribe has, but judging from the fact that the Allied State once had a skirmish with the American Galika Kingdom, and the Kata tribe sent more than 5,000 young warriors to join the Allied army, the Kata tribe should be regarded as a large tribe.

However, as the whole world has changed, many of the beasts in the mountains have mutated, becoming more dangerous and powerful, and the Kata tribe living in the mountains seems to have become less good.

The last time the Kata tribe had an impact on the outside world was the establishment of Torch City, and since then, the Kata tribe has never had closer contact with the outside world, and even the commissioner assigned to the Allied Parliament has been suddenly withdrawn.

Although the influence of the Kata tribe is only within the small country of the Quisan Confederate, it is the only large tribe in the large mountain range outside the wasteland of the Nusky Mountains, so it is very important for a force like the Fire Dancers who are committed to tribal unity, and the Fire Dancer caravan will temporarily change the route of the caravan, take the overland, and go to the outer camp of the Kata tribe to learn about the situation of the Kata tribe, and if necessary, help some of the Kata tribes.

Therefore, most of the goods prepared by the Fire Dancer caravan this time were mainly weapons and medicines, and the accompanying caravan guards were veterans who could form a small army at any time.

"It's weird!" Bran sat on the chair fixed to Bushan's back on the rugged mountain road, his body swaying from side to side as Bushan walked, and after listening carefully to the report of his hunters, his face showed a look of doubt.

The attendant who was sitting at the front and controlling Bushan turned to Bran and asked, "My lord, has something happened?"

"Nothing. Bran shook his head, then fell silent for a moment, and asked the leader of the guards beside him, "I remember when you walked this mountain path a few months ago, and it was as quiet as it is now?

The leader of the guards immediately shook his head and said, "Of course not, we were attacked at least thirty times, and fourteen of my men were eaten by monsters, and when we finally arrived at the camp of the Kata tribe, even I was seriously injured. As he spoke, he also looked at the dense forests on both sides of the road with a blank face, and said, "This time is really weird, completely contrary to common sense, is it because there was a beast tide just now?"

Another leader of the hunter team immediately retorted: "Of course it can't be, after the beast tide occurs, there will definitely be a lot of scattered monsters in the nearby forest, and those lone monsters will be even more ferocious, attacking any creature that comes close." ”
