176 Less sacrifice
Black pervades this space, and above the sky is a dark purple world, and the light shining in the vertical and horizontal cracks is one of the few light sources in this space;
This is another secret place in the Lost Sector - the Cloud Swamp!
The cloud swamp is a place shrouded in darkness all year round, where there is no sunlight, no green trees, flowers and plants, and there is no breath of life here, only endless death;
Similarly, the Cloud Swamp is the area that most people choose to explore among the secret realms that the academy currently masters, because the harvest here is far more than that of other secret realms;
Whether it's the Lost Forest, the Ghost Castle, or the Ice Sky Realm where Fan reappears to explore, they are all special secret realms in the Lost Zone.
Since the Military Academy has existed in the Lost Area for so long, there are very few secret realms that have been fully mastered, and the Cloud Swamp is a secret realm space that is not much;
The Cloud Swamp covers a very large area, and it is the largest area in the Lost Region except for the Lost Forest, although it does not have the same abundant medicinal and fruit materials as the Lost Forest;
But it is more powerful than the powerful magical beasts, and these magical beasts are a kind of undead magical beasts, and after defeating them, they will drop their most special corpse bones, which are the best materials for tempering weapons and equipment;
In the Dream Swamp, there are not plants and trees everywhere, but pieces of wasteland of different colors, and there may be an undead monster such as a skeleton and a zombie in the depths of these wastelands;
"Well, are you sure it's going to be here?"
"Definitely, young priest, I've been observing for many days, not long after the ghost pool here appeared, the group of black ghost horses have been occupying it since they saw it, and basically no other undead demon beasts know about it!"
"If that's the case, then the leader of the Black Stygian Horse will indeed appear!"
"Don't worry, young priest, we know the importance of the Nether Horse's fire core to our clan, but the news came from the stronghold that Cecily has returned, and it seems that it has become different from us!"
"I don't know, but since she appeared in the Lost Zone, it means that he must have been instructed by his grandfather, wait for us to finish this hunt, get the fire core of the Nether Horse, and let Cecily bring it back!"
"Yes!"
On the empty plain, the sound of conversation suddenly came out, but there was no obstruction around it, let alone the traces of people, where did these voices come from?
Suddenly, a dark glow of fire lit up, and with a burst of neighing, a herd of horses appeared, a herd of bones to be exact.
The herds were almost all the same skeletons, without a single piece of flesh on their bodies, with black-red flames burning above their pupils, and on the path they walked, there were marks of flames;
These strange skeletons may seem to look exactly the same, but upon closer inspection, they reveal that the bones on the skeletons are actually different;
The skeleton horse in front of it is relatively thin and small, and its whole body is grayish-white, and the further back the skeleton becomes, the skeleton of the skeleton is also black-red, and the Nether Fire begins to appear on the body;
After the wreckage of the horses appeared, they slowly walked in one direction, and under the light of the flames, they found that this place looked like a wasteland, and there was actually a secluded pool;
After discovering the pool, the herd did not stop but walked into the pool, which was not very large, but just enough to accommodate all the horses;
"What's the matter, Shadow 12, is your message wrong?" A voice appeared in the space, not very far from the Nether Pony herd, but the Nether Ponies who were immersed in the pool didn't seem to hear it;
"No, young sacrifice, you see that the spirituality of these Nether Horses has also reached more than thirty, and there should be a leader of the Nether Horse Herd!"
"Yes, Shadow 6, don't worry, we've been lurking here for so many days, don't be afraid that for a while, the leader Nether Horse won't come out so quickly, wait a while. ”
"Okay, less sacrifice!"
After the group of people was silent for a while, a fiery breath appeared, and in the distance a nether horse appeared, all of which were black and red bones, tightly interspersed and wrapped together;
And the most striking thing is that a dark red magic core appeared near the chest of this Nether Horse, and this is the target of the previous discussion - Nether Fire Core!
"Appear, get ready to act!Remember that our target is only the Nether Fire Core, don't be dragged down by the Nether Pony, and quickly evacuate after that!"
The voice of the young priest reached everyone's brain, and it was a special way of speaking, a way of speaking that only existed among the Tiger tribes;
As the words fell, with the help of a faint light, it could be found that there were many afterimages quickly passing over the wasteland, and then a figure wrapped in purple light appeared on the wasteland, not very far from the pool where the Nether Horse was;
The sudden appearance of the purple light figure naturally attracted the attention of the leader Netherhorse, and he saw that the Netherhorse did not hesitate and was directly ready to turn around and leave;
At this moment, two long lines of purple light flew over, firmly binding the leader Nether Horse, and then the afterimage on the ground attacked, wandering near the leader Nether Horse;
"The shadow is with you, and there is no trace of murder!"
This is the best interpretation of the Tiger Tribe's assassination troop - Shadow Squad!

......
Cloud Dream Swamp, the Shadowlands - the stronghold of the Dark Alliance;
The Dark Alliance is also an alliance organization of the Military Academy, and the members of this organization are all members of the Tiger Tribe, although it is a stronghold of the Alliance, and everything around it is very simple at that time;
Simple fences, simple tents, a few scattered tents, without any human breath, the scope of the Shadowlands is not large, and at this time an orc with argali's horns on his head has come here;
When he came to the door of the Shadowlands, he saw the campfire in the center of the Shadowlands, and for a moment he didn't believe it, and then looked left and right to observe;
At last he made sure that he was not in the wrong place, and then found a hanging bell, and after shaking it a few times, he took a stack of parchment rolls from his backpack and threw them into the stronghold, and left;
The campfire in the center of the stronghold was still burning, and there was a crackling, the sound of wood burning, and on the fire beside it, there was a boiling soup;
All this means that there were still people here, and soon a breeze blew the parchment rolls that the argali-orcors had thrown on the ground;
It was all about the other Alliance's quests and the rewards they could offer, and the breeze only flickered a few of them, and a dark shadow flashed through the parchment rolls and disappeared, followed by many black shadows sitting around the campfire.
Without any exchange, one of the black shadows held the parchment scroll, and distributed it to the others one by one, and the orcs who had the parchment scroll turned into a black shadow and left;
"It's still the same!"
"That's right, it's still the same as before, if it weren't for the ban of the tribe, we would also like to be able to face the fire directly like you!"
As the crowd dispersed, Cecily sat around the campfire, and while stirring the soup pot beside her, she spoke to herself, and when there was no one else around, she resumed her voice;
Looking down, he found that Cecily's shadow was elongated, the shadow of a slender male, an orc of the Tiger tribe deposited in Cecily's shadow;
"No. 4, don't you really come out to taste it, this is a little soup stock that I asked for from the bone broth boss with great difficulty, but it's fragrant, if you weren't a member of the same team as me, I wouldn't have brought it to you. ”
I saw Cecily open the casserole in front of her, scooped out a spoonful of milky bone broth from it, and the rich fragrance instantly diffused, and the tiger tribesman who Cecily called No. 4 made a sound of swallowing saliva in the dark state.
"Cecily, you did it on purpose, knowing that we can't do this overheated food, you still brought it to tempt me, I advise you to put out these torches quickly, and later, they will come back after a few sacrifices. ”
"I know, I also did this to make you believe that what I said is true, otherwise when the young priest came back, he thought that what I said was making up stories, and I showed him this, and he naturally believed it!"
When he said this, No. 4, who was hidden in the shadows, looked at Cecily squatting by the campfire to keep warm, drinking bone broth, and he couldn't help but believe that if what Cecily said was true, then he might be able to take a sip of hot soup too;
Just as Cecily had drunk a spoonful of bone broth, and was basking in the mellow taste of the bone broth, a chill appeared, swept over the campfires, and with a light breeze, all extinguished;
The Shadowlands were back to their former state, and Cecily didn't panic about this happening, it wasn't that there was an enemy attack, but that their companions had returned, and the campfire was still very inconvenient for them;
"Cecily, welcome back, I saw the fire far away, and I thought there was a new guest in the Land of Shadows. ”
As the words fell, the young priest and his party appeared in front of Cecily, and suddenly lost their light, what did not affect Cecily's sight, seeing the familiar face, Cecily stood up;
"Welcome back from the young priest, it seems that your mission has been completed very smoothly this time!"
"There is no difficulty, it's just a fourth-level high-level Nether Horse, very vigilant, which wasted us a lot of time, but the fire core in the Nether Horse's body is very useful to us;
Wearing it on the body can make us live normally for a period of time, and I originally wanted to give it to my grandfather, but looking at what you just said, plus what you said before, is it really ......?"
"Yes, young sacrifice, what I said is true, the forbidden spell in the body of our Huling tribe has been resolved, and this time I returned to the Lost Area for this matter!"
"So, except for our clansmen in the Scarlet Trial Tower, the rest of the clansmen have already lifted those forbidden spells and can live under the sun?"
When the young priest asked, his eyes gradually turned into purple pupils, and Cecily also felt some mental pressure, which was the young priest's verification of whether what she said next was true;
"That's right!"
Cecily replied affirmatively, not only the young priest, but even the several shadow assassins behind him relaxed, and it was very important for them to be able to touch the forbidden spell in their bodies;
At this time, both the young priest and the other members were very excited, because this news was too important to them, and the first to calm down was the young priest, but his eyes were still blooming with purple light;
This showed that his spirits were still in a very high state, and he looked at Cecily and the flickering sparkling fire beside him;
"I remember you seem to say that the reason why the forbidden spell was able to be contacted this time was because of the envoy, did the envoy really come?"
"That's right, Young Sacrifice, this time I also followed the Young Sacrifice to the Scarlet Trial Tower, but the envoy only joined the Scarlet Trial Tower through the trial, and we lost contact when we entered the tower. ”
"So you found us, did you plan to use the power of the Dark Alliance to find the Emissary?"
"Yes, as long as you find the messenger, you will definitely be able to lift the ban in your body!"
The young priest didn't answer right away, because Shadow Six behind him had a question;
"There are few sacrifices, and there is no problem in finding the messenger, but there are not many orcs in the lost area, and it has been a long time since the new students entered the school;
It is very likely that the emissary is not necessarily in the academy, it may be in other secret realms, and it may be difficult to find the emissary in a short period of time with our strength alone!"
Hearing No. 6's concerns, I saw Cecily chuckle, and seeing Cecily's expression, everyone looked at her, because No. 6's concerns were correct;
The members of the Dark Alliance are all from the Tiger Tribe, and the reason why the Orc warrior team of the Tiger Tribe is called the Shadow Squad is because the number of members is too small, and so is the Dark Alliance;
With this number of members, it would have been difficult to find Fan Zhong in the vast crowd without relying on the help of other allies, but Cecily's laughter showed that she had a better way;
"Cecily, is there any way you can quickly find the messenger?"
"I, no, no, if there were, I would have gone to the messenger a long time ago, and I wouldn't have come to you first!"
"And what did you mean by chuckling?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear, in fact, the envoy is not an orc, he is a human, I want to find a trace of a human in the lost area, it should be very easy for the Dark Alliance!"
"Human !?"
As soon as Cecily's words came out, everyone's expressions were shocked, they really didn't expect that the envoy of the Spirit Beast Lord would actually be a human!
"Then is the name of the envoy Fan Chong?"
"yes, how do you know that you've met Fan Daren?"
Shadow 4 stood behind Cecily and asked, and Cecily's answer caused everyone to look at Shadow 4.
"Number 4, how did you know that the name of the envoy was Fan Chong?"
"In the bounty task list sent over today, some things that happened in the academy were recorded as usual, and Nuo~ This is it, with the message of the messenger written on it, don't sacrifice to you;"
Taking the parchment scroll handed over by Shadow Four, Cecily, the Young Priest, and the others looked up, and a message was clearly written on it;
'The Scarlet Queen has challenged once again and returned to the Icy Sky with the only member of the Alliance, the human Fan Chong!'
"Orangutan... Scarlet... Queen!!?Isn't that guy!!" Cecily saw the above content and exploded directly;
Under the suppression of his talent, the young priest reluctantly calmed down and said silently;
"The envoy must have joined the madwoman's alliance in a very helpless situation, since we are in the realm of ice and sky, then we are also ready to prepare, hurry up and rescue the envoy!"
................................................
..................
......
At this time, the messenger that Cecily, the young priest and others wanted to find, Fan Chong, sneezed, only to see him rubbing his nose;
"These peppers really aren't covered, and they can still make me sneeze!"
After speaking, Fan Chong took out a shovel made of ice crystals, and in front of him there was a large iron pot, which was full of red lobster soldiers, when Fan Chong was about to stir-fry;
"I'll go, Fan Chong, didn't I say you, don't you know hygiene, isn't this a waste of food, go, I'm happy to fry again, almost this pot of spicy crayfish was ruined by you!"
Looking for prestige, it is a snow-white toad, with three golden threads on its back, and a crown on its head, which looks very noble;
It's just that now it has a coffee-colored stick in the corner of its mouth, a mouth full of chili oil, and the two toad hands are constantly fishing out crayfish from the iron pot in front of Fan Chong;
"I think you're more unhygienic than me, Lord Ice Crystal Snow Emperor Toad!"
"Don't say so much, wash your hands and fry again! ”
I saw that this snow-white toad turned sideways slightly, revealing the lobster soldier with a high mountain behind him, and Fan Zhong directly crushed the ice crystal shovel in his hand.
"Hey, why is it broken again, Nuo~ give you a new one!"
A breeze blew and swirled around Fan Chong, and after a while, a new snow crystal shovel was formed, and the remaining ice crystal snowflakes passed through Fan Chong's body, feeling a cold feeling, Fan Chong sighed helplessly;
"Sigh, serve Uncle Ben well, don't worry, what I give you will definitely not be worse than the one that the dumb penguin gave you!"
