"What are you hiring me for?" Leo didn't reject the webweavers because they were non-humans, after all, when he was in the Earth Federation, he cooperated with aliens countless times, most of them were not humanoids, and he was more curious about what the other party's employment conditions were compared to the other party's alien status.

"Clear ...... Li ......" the weaver said two words with great difficulty.

Although it was very simple, Leo already understood what the other party meant, but he still confirmed, "You want me to help you clean up those close gods and spirits?"

The webweaver nodded.

"What's in it for me?" asked Leo with interest.

"Friend...... Friendship ...... "The webweaver gave an answer that surprised Leo.

If it had been before, Leo would have refused to hire without even thinking about it, and in his opinion, the so-called friendship was too illusory compared to substantive objects.

But now, Leo's mentality is different, and the perspective of things is also different, the friendship of an ordinary person may not move his heart, but the friendship of a mysterious existence like the webweaver is extraordinary, far from being measured by money.

Although the time spent with these webweavers is very short and there is little communication, it is not difficult to see from some details of the behavior of the previous webweavers that these webweavers are more like an artificial intelligence, and their behavior is based on some rules and procedures, even if they have wisdom, but wisdom is only based on the most basic rules.

Therefore, Leo speculates that the Webweaver's proposed employment condition is their friendship, which is equivalent to establishing a new rule on top of the underlying rule, which should bring him a lot of benefits as long as he does not break this rule.

The reason why Leo makes such an inference about the behavior of the Webweaver is entirely because among the alien civilizations befriended by the Earth Federation, there is an alien race that behaves in a similar pattern to the Webweaver. And after this alien race concluded an alliance treaty with the Earth Federation, no matter how great the danger and disaster encountered by the Earth Federation, they never reneged on the alliance treaty, until the Earth Federation did something stupid and broke the alliance treaty himself, which made him dissolve the alliance with the Earth Federation.

"Is it your friendship, or the friendship of the webweavers?" asked Leo without rushing to reply.

The webweaver said slowly, "I ...... Weave...... Net...... Weavers, weavers...... Net...... He who...... I ......"

"Psionic symbiote!" Hearing this, a name immediately popped into Leo's mind.

It is not difficult to hear from the words of the weaver that all weavers are a whole, there is no individual, and Leo has established a friendship with a weaver, so it is equivalent to establishing a friendship relationship with all weavers.

This kind of situation in which the individual is the whole and the whole is the individual, can only be seen in psionic symbiotes, but it is still psionic symbiotes that have evolved and reached a higher life form.

Leo had never seen this kind of complete psionic symbiote when he was in the Earth Alliance, but he had heard rumors of this kind of symbiote, and knew that each child of this kind of symbiote was a separate existence, with the wisdom and emotions of ordinary people, but they were a whole, just like the blood cells of the human body. What's even more amazing is that when the parent body of the psionic symbiote falls in battle or disaster, one of the countless descendants will automatically evolve into the mother, which makes the psionic symbiote have as many children as it has as many chances of rebirth.

However, this also made Leo wonder, in his opinion, the dangerous existence of those who watched the refuge should be easily solved by the webweavers, just like the webweavers just approached the swamp children, and the swamp children immediately fled. Whether it is relying on the strength of the webweavers in front of them, or letting some webweaver descendants descend from that world net, they can easily solve the problem without hiring him as an outsider.

But now the weavers are very abruptly asking him for help, and at the expense of the weavers' friendship, they hire him to clean up the families and other dangers that are close to these refugees, which is really a bit unreasonable.

"Unless they have a limit?" Leo guessed.

This was the only answer Leo could think of, and he remembered that in a religious book in Rembrandt's study that explained the ritual of the descent, it was recorded that the arrival of gods in the real world required many cumbersome conditions, and would be limited by the world itself, and could not do anything beyond the limits of the world.

Leo doesn't know if what is written in the book is true or not, but if the content is true and the webweaver is really the psionic symbiote that Leo guessed, then it makes sense to hire him to clean up the surrounding threats.

Because no matter how perfect the child of the psionic symbiote is, it is still a part of the mother, just like Leo's auxiliary brain, no matter how high the intelligence is, it is always a part of Leo, so the webweaver in front of him can also be equated with the great existence on the world net, and after such a great existence descends to this world, it will naturally be rejected and suppressed by the world.

Thinking of this, Leo also made a decision, nodded and agreed: "I accept your employment." ”

Hearing Leo's answer, a smile appeared on the webweaver's face, and although his smile looked stiff on normal vision and hideous under spiritual vision, Leo felt an inexplicable emotion called sincerity.

Now that a hiring agreement has been reached, Leo naturally has to fulfill his employment responsibilities, and in the following time, he has opened his mental net from time to time, perceiving everything around him, and several times he has found the undying Swamp Son trying to infiltrate the camp from other places.

Although Leo discovered these Swamp Children in advance, there was no way to completely eliminate them, because these Swamp Sons have a very strong ability to hide and escape, and they are also very familiar with the surrounding terrain, coupled with their extremely cautious personality, so that Leo was immediately discovered when he was about to get up, and then fled, and after a while, he would appear from another place.

This kind of harassment may be useful for ordinary people, but it is not applicable to Leo, whether it is the combat skills of the cyborg period or the spiritual energy he has now, it can help him to maintain a combat state for days or even dozens of days, and does not need to sleep to relieve his mental and physical exhaustion.

At this moment, Leo missed his king and queen very much, if he had those two psionic weapons in his hands, he didn't need to get up and approach, just find a rest place with a good view and shoot.

Unaware of the danger hidden in the darkness, the refuge and hunters in the camp spent the night in their uncomfortable tents and by the campfires, and as the sun cast over the valley hills, the long snow and wind stopped and the camp became noisy again.

One by one, the evacuees came out of the tent, constantly moving their bodies to relieve the cold, and then under the command of the hunters, everyone began to pack up the tents and various belongings, although at first a little chaotic, but soon became orderly.

However, this busy and peaceful scene was quickly spoiled by the commotion, and the crowd gathered towards several different camps, and after a while, one or two corpses were seen carried out from each tent and placed in the open space in front of the tents.

The corpses were all old men, with no pain on their bodies and a serene expression, apparently dead in their sleep. During this period of ups and downs of survival experience, seeing the hope of leaving Miria City, the hardships of walking on the mountain road, etc., all gathered at the first time, the strong people are okay, they will be affected but not fatal, but for those old people who have already reached the limit of their bodies, this effect is enough to be fatal.

In fact, this had been expected before yesterday's departure, and Barak and some of the other evacuees had chosen a leader to persuade the old men to stay in the village, but in the end they did not stop them from escaping Miria City.

The death of the old man made the atmosphere in the camp a little depressing, especially the remaining dozen or so old people all looked lifeless, completely different from when they set up camp yesterday.

Although some people died, this did not affect the progress of the team's regrouping, and Barak divided a few men to find a suitable place, stacked the corpses of the old people, and then covered them with a layer of stones, even if a simple joint burial tomb was built.

After all the belongings were packed, when everyone was ready to set off, I don't know who initiated it first, everyone picked up a small stone and placed it on the graves of the old people who had died, and gradually thickened the graves of the old people by a few copies.

Seeing this scene, Leo didn't feel much, after all, he had experienced too many wars in the Earth Federation, and all kinds of solemn funerals had been numb, but for those webweavers, the behavior of the evacuees was very novel, so they also tried to pick up a stone and put it on the grave, but this behavior did not give them the expected feeling, making their eyes full of doubts.

As everyone put all their minds on the road, the gloomy atmosphere that had been generated before began to gradually dissipate, because the wind and snow stopped, the speed of the team was much faster than yesterday, and because there was no wind and snow barrier, the distant mountains could also be seen more clearly, and everyone could feel that the distance was shortening little by little with their pace, which also made them a lot more optimistic.

Compared to the evacuees who were burying their heads in the road, the hunters around them who were acting as guards were obviously busy and nervous. Because they have found some very strange footprints in the snow more than once, these footprints are neither humans nor beasts, these strange footprints that have never been seen before have brought some strange anecdotes about the Dibia Mountains to the minds of many people.

Rumors of monsters living in the Dibia Mountains have been spread in almost all the villages around the mountains, and many people have even seen those monsters in the forest or deep in the mountains, and some of them have even picked up some items left behind by monsters, including some strange stone statues that look like sculptures, and some monster bones. Whatever it is, it can cause quite a stir among the wealthy merchants of Miria City, and it has become a collector's item for these wealthy merchants.

Monster tracks are only good for adventurers and treasure hunters who want good luck and fortune, but for hunters who live in the Dibia Mountains all year round, the appearance of monster tracks often represents death and disappearance.

"Head, we should make some preparations, these footprints should be left by the group of cannibalistic guys. One of the old hunters, who had encountered monsters more than once, stood in front of some footprints, and after comparing the size and shape of the footprints, he said to Barak who was standing beside him with a little doubt: "However, I don't understand, according to the character of these guys, they should have done it last night, right?"

Barak also looked at the footprints in front of him with a serious face, and he didn't know if it was because of luck, since he was a child, he had never encountered a monster in the Dibia Mountains, and even if he crossed the Dibia Mountains from the secret passage of the canyon alone, he did not encounter any objects that could be called monsters.

Although he hadn't seen monsters with his own eyes, it didn't mean that he didn't believe that monsters really existed in the Dibia Mountains, just like most of the other mountaineers and hunter villages in the Dibia Mountains, their villages also believed that there were monsters in the mountains, and they were more sure that these monsters were not all ferocious, including monsters that fed on people, and some monsters who would exchange precious items and villagers for items.

The monsters that left these footprints in the snow can be said to be a frequent visitor to Barak Village, and they are also the most hated monsters by the hunters in the village, and the hunters in the village have formed a mountain search team more than once, trying to encircle and suppress these monsters, but in the end they have all failed, and once they were even counterattacked by the monsters, killing more than a dozen people.

However, these monsters have not appeared around the village in the last year or two, and Barak has also gone into the depths of the mountain range alone many times, and he has also found no trace of any monsters, so he thinks that these monsters have moved elsewhere.

Unexpectedly, these monsters have reappeared, and it seems that they have taken their group as prey, which makes Barak feel a little headache.

"Can you tell how many there are?" asked Barak to the old hunter.

The old hunter replied with great certainty: "There should be about seven or eight, no more than thirteen." ”

"That's fine. Barak couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this amount.

But the old hunter's words lifted his heart again.

The old hunter said solemnly, "I'm just worried that they're just outposts. ”

The atmosphere around him became a little tense with these words, and at the same time, the faces of the other hunters also showed a little panicked expressions.

"What now?" the old hunter sensed that the atmosphere around him was not very good, so he asked directly, wanting Barak to come up with a countermeasure to stabilize everyone's emotions.

It was not the first time that Barak and the old hunter had cooperated, and he easily understood what the other party meant, thought for a while, and said: "Don't spread the news, strengthen the guard, everyone is not allowed to act alone, and the other guests must focus on protection, and don't let them have any accidents." ”
