Chapter 295: Hunting and Cultivating
"Spare me, that's really all I know!" said a bloodied mercenary leader, his body was firmly chained by thick chains, and the shocking scars on his whole body showed that he had been severely punished, and not far from the mercenary leader, a corpse dressed in mercenary clothing was suspended in the air by a rope, and the rope passed through the throat of the corpse, strangling the mercenary alive, and the body of this corpse was naturally also covered with wounds.
The two men in charge of torture were two men who looked a bit like Naga, their upper body was similar to that of humans, and their lower body also used their tails to support their bodies and walk, but unlike the Naga, these two men only had one pair of arms, not four arms like the Naga, and they had brown hair on their heads, and the surface of their bodies was very smooth, without any scales, and they were faintly covered with strange patterns, if Ticillis was here, they would have easily recognized their names- Snake Man.
The two male snake people cooperate with each other very tacitly, and the various torture techniques they use have also reached the extreme in this regard, they will bring great pain to the tortured, but they will not let the tortured person die quickly because of the deterioration of the injury, which is basically the so-called "can't survive, can't die!" After continuing to inflict dozens of bleeding wounds on the mercenary leader with a leather whip, one of the men in charge of extorting a confession under torture opened his mouth to ask questions in the lingua franca of Naga, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a long tongue and made a creepy voice: "Hiss, when did the Naga woman leave, hiss, how many people were in their entourage, what were the characteristics......
"That's really all I know, even if you ask a thousand more times, it's still like this!" The tortured mercenary leader did not answer the question directly, but muttered these words repeatedly in his mouth, and his whole body couldn't help but twitch, obviously his spirit had collapsed. Seeing that he could no longer pry more information out of the mercenary leader's mouth, the two looked at each other, turned and walked out of the narrow room.
Outside the room, a petite snake woman stood there with a cold face, and after seeing two of her subordinates walk out, the snake woman asked, "What's new?"
"Lady Hydima, we just know that the target left here on a seahorse mount......" the two snake men replied in a heelous manner.
"That's enough! a bunch of waste" After receiving a reply that made no progress, the snake woman reprimanded loudly, "Now that our target has disappeared alive before our eyes, and you guys can't find any clue! Leave the city on a seahorse mount? Great, then you tell me how far they are likely to appear now that the entire submarine plain is so vast and deserted, and that the target has been eight hours in advance!" Just searching these places is more than we can handle, not to mention that the other party may have used hidden means or directly activated the teleportation magic array!Don't forget how they appeared in the city before we realized their whereabouts!"
Seeing that all her subordinates were silent, the snake woman named Hydima forcibly held back her anger, she thought about it, and gave an order in a deep voice: "We have limited manpower, and it is impossible to cover everything, so let's contact Salestine immediately, and let him lead the headquarters to blockade the western part of the submarine plain, no matter what, we must not let the news from here reach the central region, otherwise our century-old plan will be in vain!" Then he ordered Gillam and Nost to search the north and south directions of Saluofin, using all the information channels in the nearby area, and sending me the image of the Naga woman, telling the guys below that if we found the target passing through their area of responsibility without noticing, then their only hope was to die quickly. ”
"As for us, we are to rush to Eboston, which is the only way to the east, and unless their use of seahorse mounts is an illusion, they must be transferred or resupplied at Ebston. "The serpent woman Hydima is determined to kill at this moment, and her orders are closely linked, and in just a few minutes, the entire submarine plain has been laid a net, and finally she hesitated for a moment, but still gave the last order: "Tell Mr. Rusjaro the news, as long as he is willing to ...... it"
―――――― * ―――――― * ―――――― Ryan and his entourage naturally did not know that in an undercurrent centered on Sarofinia City began to slowly surge in the entire undersea plain, after riding the seahorse mount, Ryan and their speed was really extraordinary, but after traveling for 6 hours, they had already left the distance of more than 500 kilometers from Sarofinin City, if this speed was calculated on land, I am afraid that only the use of flying skills can be achieved.
Ryan leaned against the wall of the cave and stretched out a long stretch, he found that he was getting lazier and lazier, he used to have to prepare food himself when he first came out on an adventure, but now it was no longer his turn to do these things, the Natasha sisters had long been sitting side by side by the campfire in the middle of the cave, cooking delicious food for him, this thing the two sisters did willingly, it was definitely their honor to be able to serve the teacher.
"It's a little boring!" Ryan resisted the urge to yawn, and glanced at Faraz and Sophie casually, the two women had been pulling the black-haired girl in the corner to communicate with each other since they arrived at this underwater cave where they were resting, and now almost two hours have passed, and they are still talking, but Ryan also noticed that the black-haired girl didn't seem to be so resistant to Faraz's existence, and she could answer one or two sentences out of ten, obviously Faraz's efforts were duly rewarded.
As for Tixilis, her whole body was curled up in a ball, and she just lay down on Ryan's side and fell asleep very casually, probably because Ticilis was the guide along the way, if you say who is the hardest in the whole team, Ticilis thinks that she is second, and no one dares to call her first. Of course, one thing is that the entire Ryan team is sure that the most boring guy must be Ryan.
Ryan's gaze wandered throughout the underwater cave, and it was also very strange to say, this kind of undersea cave actually had no seawater, which really subverted Ryan's cognition. The underwater cave that Lane now uses as a camp was found by Tisylis, a cave located deep in the bottom of the reef, from which you have to walk through a long tunnel from the bottom of the reef to reach it, and the water only rises to the point where the tunnel is almost at the end, and above the waterline it is exactly the same as the terrestrial environment, where you no longer need to use the "underwater breathing" magic to survive, and you can even use a campfire to smoke food.
"It's ready to eat!" Natasha's voice rang out in the underwater cavern, and then she and Nataya respectively distributed the carefully prepared food to Ryan and the others, looking at the burnt food in his hands, smelling the strong aroma, Ryan couldn't help but move his index fingers, but he still waited until everyone had the food before starting to enjoy his dinner.
There is no way to see sunlight in the underwater world, so it is impossible to distinguish between day and night, but after all, Ryan has lived on land for more than 20 years, and the habit of walking day and night has long been formed, and he can roughly infer from his own feelings that the time of appearance is already evening on land, so it is not uncommon to use dinner to describe the food in front of him.
"Ryan, Sister Natasha's skills are getting better and better. Faras sat down beside Ryan with a piece of food: "That black-haired girl is indeed a woman of the Sand Tribe, her name is Avro, I carefully checked her physical characteristics when I communicated with her, her language is very standard, and she is also familiar with the historical background of the Sand people in her speech and demeanor. According to her description, she should have been caught here, as a kind of cargo to be transported somewhere in the eastern region, according to the bits and pieces of information she heard along the way, it should be some rich and powerful guy who pointed out that she needed a Sand woman to be his concubine, so someone caught her here under the heavy reward. ”
When Faras said this, her face flushed slightly, obviously the next topic was a little difficult to speak, but she and Ryan were husband and wife, so naturally there was nothing she couldn't say: "This can probably be used to explain why Avro is still a virgin, otherwise it is difficult for such a beautiful woman to be spared during transportation." As for the city of Saluofin, most of the caravan was wiped out, and she desperately escaped while the guards were negligent, but it was obvious that the outside world was not suitable for her at all, and without the magical protection of underwater breathing, Avro could not even get out of Saluofin City alive. ”
"yes, I see. Ryan didn't say much, just responded lightly, and then he asked, "Are you going to take her with you?"
"Yes, Ryan, I know it's going to be a lot of trouble, but without us, Avro won't even be able to leave this cave, so why don't we leave her to fend for herself here?"
"Okay, then bring it. Ryan doesn't need Faras to explain anything, Faras's will is his will, and since Faras was touched by the sympathy of this girl called Avro, then bring it, as long as Faras is happy.
"Thank you. Faras was happy, but she didn't lose her vigilance against the black-haired girl Avrol, and after thinking about it for a while, Faras said to Ryan, "I'll let Sophie protect her, so it's good for everyone." As for you, hurry up and make a ring for me to breathe underwater, are you going to let me keep blessing her?
