Chapter 35: Vulture Ridge
"Please. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"It's not the same as the Gu refining method I said. But I said that the black bone worm must enter the worm pond, and very few who successfully survived, and later our clan invented an analgesic drug to paralyze the pain nerves, and the survival rate of the black bone worm increased by about 30%. The commonality produced by such a black bone insect is not as good as the original ecology, but it can barely be regarded as a medicinal introduction. Therefore, the generally said black bone worm actually refers to the black bone worm that has taken analgesics, and in order to refine himself into a Gu person, he must maintain a delicate balance between the body and the poisonous insects, and he must endure the pain of thousands of insects penetrating the body. ”
Sixteen's eyes throbbed, and he seemed to be able to see the horror of the insect swarm, and he said, "I saw it, it looked like layers of flesh, more like silkworms. ”
An Nan said: "That's right, it's a silkworm." I can't tell you more, though, my sister is in its hands, and this guy might be watching us from the shadows. ”
Sixteen didn't force it anymore, what An Nan said was not unreasonable, the Gu people came to threaten her not to interfere.
An Nan had just sat down, and suddenly stood up again, "Damn! How can I not be worried?" She knew about her sister's strange illness, and the Chitose Orchid and Snow Lingzhi she bought were fine, but the Dendrobium officinale had begun to roll its leaves, and there were signs of wilting.
The ghost knife said, "Is An Sheng your own sister?"
An Nan said: "So what?"
"Then I don't understand, where did the Gu people get the ability to catch her. The words of the ghost knife obviously had a special meaning, and An Nan said, "How much do you know about our family?"
Ghost Knife said: "Not much, just like I know her." ”
"You...... By the way, you haven't told her whereabouts yet. An Nan stared at her seriously.
"The first time I met her was at the market of nomads outside the Snow Ridge. Do you know how big the side plug is?"
An Nan said: "Outside the snow ridge, it is called the side plug. ”
"Yes, as far as the eye can see, free and easy. The ghost knife narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes were already very charming, and the feeling of being tempered by wind and frost not only did not cut off her femininity, but added all kinds of charm. Snow Ridge is the territory of Gejue, and only Gejue people can survive in the harsh environment of snow all year round. Biansai occupies seventy percent of the land in this Shenzhou, and people are fighting for land, and wars are frequent.
The ghost knife said, "There is a mountain range that is much lower than the snow ridge not far from the snow ridge, and we call it Vulture Ridge. ”
"I've never heard of this place," Anan said. ”
"Of course you haven't heard of it, that's the nickname given to it by the brothers, we kill people and pile the corpses in the mountains, and over time, a group of blood-crested vultures multiplied there, and gradually turned into a terrifying nest, so it was called Vulture Ridge. The first time I met her, it was in that place......."
In the year of the Great Calendar, it was the darkest year in the Border Fortress, and the mercenary organization "Skynet", which was as famous as the Rakshasas, returned in many operations, and the Rakshasas were also surrounded and annihilated by various forces, and the remnants of the Rakshasas were forced to move towards the Snow Ridge, and were besieged in the Vulture Ridge by many forces.
A rotten ground full of corpses could become the burial place of this elite group of mercenaries.
Seeing the vulture spreading its wings and flying, the ghost knife couldn't help but tease: "They are really good, they strangled us here, and they didn't even have to transport the bones." ”
"Well, we're not going to make them happy. The warrior next to him pulled out the broken arrow from his arm, and he looked at the ghost knife, but the ghost knife kept staring ahead. Their Grand Herald hadn't said a word since last night, and Alu was covered in blood in his heavy iron armor. There was the blood of the enemy, more of his own, and the muscles of his arms also had traces of meridian bursts, and when the enemy's catapult smashed over, he dared to split with a great sword, and it was a miracle that the wrist bones were not separated. The warhorse's eyelids drooped, its skinny back trembled, and Alu's heavy greatsword slammed into the steel.
He was more silent than ever, and the Ghost Knife didn't want to disturb him. The pioneers of the Rakshasa held an important position in the charge and assault, and the cold and glistening giant sword of Alu was the nightmare of every army.
Normally he was a silent black sculpture, but now he doesn't even have the appearance of a human being, and he, his horse, and even the entire team of Rakshasas have reached their limits.
Alu's burly and tall body was still walking ahead.
Everyone in the Rakshasas listened to the sound of the clanging on Alu's body, and they did not feel hopeless, because it was the sound of miracles, and the struggle on the verge of death again and again did not destroy the Rakshasas, but made the group closer.
"Huh "We have been on the road for two days and two nights in a row, and now we must rest." Captain?"
"Captain?"
Everyone asked a few times, but Ah Lu didn't answer, he just walked forward indifferently.
The ghost knife rode forward, and it was the first time she was so close to Ah Lu that she didn't dare to look him in the eye. "We've been on the road for too long," she said, "and we can't concentrate on the enemy when they attack." ”
She saw Alu shake his heavy helmet, and he asked, "What time is it?"
The ghost knife said, "It's almost midnight, and you see that the moontip is almost complete." ”
Ah Lu said: "I really need to rest, but I still have to go a little further. ”
"How far?"
Ah Lu didn't answer this, he just rode his horse to the front of the ghost knife and walked slowly. The ghost knife can't seem to catch up with him no matter how much he chases.
They walked to the dusk of the next day, and the densest bushes of Vulture Ridge were also the place where countless corpses were discarded. It is covered with white bones, and occasionally a few rotting corpses, which are also deserters who did not escape from Vulture Ridge. Finally, someone couldn't hold it anymore and rolled off the horse. Ah Lu stopped suddenly, "Let's rest here." ”
Suddenly, the ghost knife seemed to understand why Ah Lu was in a hurry.
The skeleton was stripped of its entire shoulder blade, or torn in half, which was not the way blood-crested vultures ate, and it was clear that some kind of flying youkai followed them all the way. Beyond the border is the territory of birds of prey and harpies, many of which follow the habit of devouring corpses, and the most practical secret method of birds of prey is to convert the energy of corpses into about eighty percent of living energy, for them, the large number of bones in Vulture Ridge is really an endless supply of delicious food. Some of the big demons who are about to enter the feathering period also often come here to have a full meal to prepare energy reserves for the feathering period. Perhaps they are more interested in living creatures, and those corpses are the evidence. The wound was as long as its body, and its claws were seven feet long. It's a big guy, and Ah Lu has been looking for a suitable place all the way, and this dense bush should be able to avoid the terrifying vision of the birds of prey monsters.
Do not light a bonfire at night, it is easy to expose the location.
They unloaded their heavy armor, and Alu wrapped his dusty cloak and leaned his back against the stone wall. Outside the fortress during the day, it is like a desert in the hot prison, but at night it is cold to the bone, the smell drops to zero, and a gray-white cold air erupts from under Ah Lu's helmet from time to time.
He didn't sleep, but clutched his sword.
A gilded golden feather fluttered down....... It landed on the stone wall, and he didn't notice that Ah Lu, who was clinging to the stone wall, had clenched his sword tightly. It is the head of the cloud carving, and it has the prestige of the golden eagle and the cloud carving. Its physical body is not strong, but it is extremely fast when it cultivates wind spells, and its eyes can see the scene thousands of miles away. The golden eagle is not a voracious carnivore, but it is very territorial, and if it preys on somewhere, it will kill other creatures that are slightly larger. Therefore, the golden eagle is also a notorious killer, and it gently spreads its wings and aims its feathers at the resting people......
Ah Lu suddenly clenched the hilt of the sword, his joints gurgling, estimating the position of the golden eagle above his head, he only needed a sword, and this sword could shatter the golden eagle's not strong body.
At this moment, the golden eagle blinked its eyes slyly and flew away from the stone wall.
The ghost knife slashed into the air, and hurriedly activated the machine spring, and the huge explosion woke everyone up, and also injured the left wing of the golden eagle! The golden eagle suddenly became angry, and countless feathers shot at everyone, but they were blocked by the giant sword, Ah Lu stretched out his hand and pulled the golden eagle down, and the big sword slashed head-on, and the entire golden eagle was cut into two halves of flesh and blood.
Ghost Knife exclaimed: "Originally, you were using us as bait and wanted to kill it alone. She suddenly felt her own stupidity, "I'm sorry I disrupted your plans. ”
She thought that Ah Lu would walk by indifferently, but she still wanted to hear his voice, even if it was to blame herself. She looked up and saw Ah Lu carrying the giant sword and walking past her without saying a word, towards the original stone wall, and her eyes also dimmed.
"What stupid words are you talking about, aren't you risking your life to protect us?"
She turned her head abruptly and saw the Rakshasa brothers giggling and laughing so happily. It was the first time they had laughed after so many days of fugitive, as if every time she felt lost, these executioners who killed for money would give her care and encouragement. A killer alliance actually made her feel at home.
"We are monsters in their eyes, willing to do anything for money, this is mercenaries. We kill people just to eat, as if human life is only worth a little money in our eyes. Ah Lu stroked her head with heavy hand armor, "For a few broken money, it is possible to die at any time." But we're passionate about it, and that's who we are. ”
Suddenly, the flames erupted!
They were surrounded by layers of Skynet assassins, and even some powerful warriors mixed in.
The rakshasas smiled fiercely and terrifyingly, and the curvature of their cheeks was extremely terrifying, and they looked like living demons. Their laughter even chilled the assassins around them, "You're already surrounded, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing because you're all here to die!" Alu Greatsword stood out, leaning on each other with the Ghost Blade. "How many do you think?" "One hundred, two hundred....... Too lazy to count. ”
"No matter how many of them there are, they will all be dead very quickly. "The ghost knife tightly grasped the eighth-edged machine spring of the Eight Soul Chasing Blades. Ah Lu nudged her, "Don't waste it here." ”
"Wow, yes, yes, what a for me, brothers, give it to me! Men killed, women taken alive!"
