As the most bizarre of the three aces of equine star beasts, Nightmare Horse is the only one with carnivorous creatures, and when they open their mouths, they reveal not the flat teeth of horses, but the fangs that can be retracted freely.

So when Xiao Ming took Rasu to find the Nightmare Horse, he found that this small group of guys was feasting on the corpse of a wild bull, a total of eight Nightmares, one of which had a long and dense mane, black and bright, and a pair of eyes shining like a burning flame stone.

This is the King of Horses, the leader of this small pack of Nightmares, who is sentry and looking around, while the remaining seven Nightmares are trying to eat.

Don't look at the nightmare grumpy and stingy grudge, but in fact, this guy's courage is not particularly big, their first reaction when they encounter trouble is to hide, and they will only fight back when they can't hide. Of course, because of the special grudge, even if they scare them, they will retaliate afterwards.

Xiao Ming and Lasu approached the nightmare so brightly, and the king of the horse naturally saw Xiao Ming and Lasu, but he didn't panic, just snorted and issued a warning.

It was surrounded by tall trees, and the sun was shining on the trees from above, leaving a large shade of the trees. Such an environment was extremely beneficial to Nightmare, so King Ma didn't worry about what Xiao Ming could do at all.

With Xiao Ming's current strength, he can suppress all these guys in an instant, but he is a little hesitant, Nightmare is extremely smart, but if he suppresses the place by coercive means, it will leave some unnecessary trouble, once the agility of these guys is reduced, then their strength will also be greatly reduced.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ming had an idea, activated the soul technique, and directly sent a thought: "Nightmare King, hello, I am a human Xiao Ming!"

Ma Wang was obviously stunned for a moment, raised his head and turned to Xiao Ming's direction, and after hesitating for a moment, he responded with spiritual power: "Human, can you communicate directly with me spiritually?"

"That's right!" Xiao Ming nodded.

"So you're a beast powerhouse, or a psychic powerhouse, what are you looking for me, you want me to be your mount?" This Nightmare King has definitely seen the world, and Xiao Ming's purpose can be guessed just from the fact that Xiao Ming can communicate with it.

"Let's leave my abilities at that. But my purpose is to ask you to be our combat partner. I think you can sense that there is a group of my companions not far away, and I think maybe you can find some knights in it!" Xiao Ming replied.

"Human, what if I don't say yes?" the Nightmare King snorted, "If you say to be your mount, I might think about it, and the aura on your body pleases me." But if you become a mount for the humans behind you, then you won't. They're not qualified enough!"

Xiao Ming also knew that nightmares were all arrogant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Now this planet is in the midst of a disaster. I can see that your life is not easy, and several of your people have been wounded, and a few of them died in battle not long ago. You must be worried, too. But if we cooperate, that should be alleviated!"

The Nightmare King was really surprised: "You can tell it's nothing that my children are injured, but how do you know how many of my children have just died in battle?"

"Because of some special abilities. I could feel the presence of a soul. You are also wrapped around some fragments of your soul that are very attached to you but do not belong to you. The only thing I can think of is your people!" Xiao Ming replied truthfully.

The Nightmare King was silent for a moment, "Human, you're a very strange fellow. Ordinary humans see that we are just thinking about how to force us to serve them, but you are willing to talk to me. I'm still saying the same thing, if it's a mount for a strong man like you, I'm very happy, but other humans can't!"

Xiao Ming thought for a moment and came up with a compromise solution: "Nightmare King, what do you think of this? You take your people to act with us first, you don't need to be anyone's mount, just form an alliance with us." If anyone is lucky enough to be your knight, it will be a good thing to be thankful for, and it doesn't matter if no one can do it. Even if you want to end this alliance, you can stop it at any time, what do you think?"

Xiao Ming's conditions can be said to be quite favorable, so much so that the Nightmare King couldn't believe it: "Such good conditions? Human, what conspiracy do you have?"

"Of course not. Speaking of conditions, I have a few. One is that during the Alliance, you and your people will fight together with us. I can guarantee that the people on our side will not use any conspiracy against you, but I also hope that you will not fail to contribute!" Xiao Ming put forward his own conditions.

The Nightmare King thought for a moment, "If you've been leading that group, then I can agree to your terms. But if you leave, and you can't find a suitable knight among them, then we will leave!"

"Okay, deal!" Xiao Ming nodded in response.

The Nightmare King walked towards Xiao Ming alone, walked all the way to him, and after circling around Xiao Ming, he nodded slightly, and then looked at Lasu curiously: "This is? It doesn't seem to be a star beast!"

"Rasu is just a star beast with a special way of being!If I have a chance in the future, I will explain it to you!" Xiao Ming brushed it off.

The Nightmare King didn't ask, but snorted at the seven younger brothers, and the seven Nightmare horses immediately ran over.

Xiao Ming looked at the three injured nightmares: "Although your recovery ability is good, it is better to heal your injuries early." My daughter is good at healing, and I will let her treat your trauma when you go back with me, and as for your mental exhaustion, I can help you make up for it now!"

As he spoke, he condensed a soul energy ball in the palm of his hand, and with a flick of his fingers, the soul energy ball automatically divided into eight parts, flying into the eyebrows of each nightmare.

The Nightmare King's spirits perked: "Human, your abilities are very special!"

"Yes, I believe that only I can do this trick!" Xiao Ming smiled and looked at the three injured nightmares: "It seems that your spirit has recovered." Then come with me, and I'll let my daughter heal your wounds!"

When Xiao Ming returned to the team with eight nightmares, everyone cheered.

Xiao Ming asked Jelly to treat Nightmare's external injuries, and then beckoned Gao Gong over, telling him his agreement with the Nightmare King, who was on the side throughout the whole process.

Gao Gong was surprised that Xiao Ming used such a means to subdue the nightmare, but for him, it was not strange for Xiao Ming to do anything, and he also knew that without Xiao Ming, none of them would want to get the approval of even the worst nightmare, so he readily agreed.

"Don't worry, little sir, if none of us can get the nightmare's acknowledgement, it's because we don't fight ourselves. No one would dare to be dissatisfied. No one will make a small move. If there's anything wrong, I'll see you myself!" Gao Gong patted his chest and promised.

After Xiao Ming helped Yu Cun for the second time and revived Gao Shun, Gao Gong had completely become Xiao Ming's fanatical follower.

Gao Shun has been watching Nightmare drooling from the sidelines, in his opinion it is quite a funny thing to be a Nightmare Knight, but he also knows that he is not the main battler, and it is impossible to become a Nightmare Knight.

But there are always some miracles or accidents in this world. The youngest nightmare in the nightmare looked like it circled around Gao Shun, and after a big stare at one person and one horse, the young nightmare stuck its head into Gao Shun's arms.

The Nightmare King looked at everything in front of him and showed a surprised expression: "Human, this human child has a very noble aura, and my child likes him very much and is willing to be his mount. It really surprised me!"

Xiao Ming was also a little surprised, but he immediately figured it out: "This kid has a great and noble soul. Nightmare King, it's a blessing for both parties for your child to be a partner with him!"

The Nightmare King nodded, "I hope what you say is true." I'm not satisfied, but since my child agrees with him, I won't stop him!"

Xiao Ming told Gao Shun the good news, and made the kid stupid with excitement, until Yu Yebai patted his head and shouted, "Stupid, say yes!" He didn't react.

"Then, that, what, do I want a contract or something?" Gao Shun stammered to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming glanced at the Nightmare King, and then smiled: "I'll help you!"

Saying that, he helped Gao Shun sign a contract with the Nightmare King's child, and the war beast contract is not a slavery contract, but a spiritual contract that can guarantee communication between the two parties. Only beast adepts have a forced contract.

Gao Shun named the Nightmare King's child Night Shadow, and after the contract was concluded, one person and one horse immediately fell into endless exchanges, and Gao Shun was already stupid, and he only knew how to laugh vigorously.

Of course, the others were also envious, but Xiao Ming said that whether or not they could become Nightmare Knights depended on their own abilities, so no one had any objections. As for jealousy of Gao Shun, it is even more impossible for such a thing to happen, the sacrifice that this child made for Yu Cun at the beginning is engraved in everyone's hearts.

After this small episode passed, the team hit the road again, and Xiao Ming once again grabbed a few wild cattle to serve as coolies. Compared with the high IQ of Nightmare, there is no possibility of communication at all for a stupid person like a wild bull, so Xiao Ming directly forced him to tame it.

This also made the Nightmare King see Xiao Ming's methods, feel glad about his decision at the beginning, and at the same time have a greater sense of identification with Xiao Ming. After all, Xiao Ming did not forcibly control them, but chose to respect them and communicate on an equal footing.

The team walked for another whole day, and by late evening it was just over thirty kilometers away from its destination. It stands to reason that at this time, they have already entered the other party's sphere of influence, and if the other party appears, it should be easy to encounter.

In fact, it did.

When the team stopped to rest, the two nightmares who took the initiative to act as scouts ran back: "Xiao Ming, there are other humans here, they are wearing strange metal clothes!"

Xiao Ming immediately probed the soul searching technique, and then showed a smile: "Sure enough, it's here!"

Thirty mecha warriors, there are actually quite a few of them.

But there is a small doubt, why didn't Jelly find these thirty guys in advance?

Xiao Ming looked at Jelly, Jelly's brows furrowed, secretly compared the signal of the Scout Insect, and replied in his heart: "Father, it seems that the other party has discovered the Scout Insect." It's so weird. How did they find the nano-scale Scout Bugs? It seems that these mecha warriors don't necessarily have good intentions!"

"Gao Gong, set up a defensive formation, we have guests coming!"

The hunting party immediately set up in formation, with the dragoons outside, the beast cavalry in the center, and the infantry inside, and twenty-two brute oxen pulling the carts to form a rudimentary line of defense, protecting all the non-combatants in it.

No one panicked, no one cried, everyone was calm and methodical.

Soon, Xiao Ming once again directly saw the thirty mecha warriors.

Compared to the last time they saw them, the mecha on these thirty mecha warriors had changed a little, they looked a little slimmer and much more flexible, they quickly ran from a distance, and when they saw Yucun's team, they immediately switched to a battle formation, and then stopped when they were still a hundred meters away from Yucun's defense line.

The bearded leader took two steps forward: "Who are you?"

Xiao Ming walked out of the defense line: "Hello, we meet again!"

"Is that you?" the leader's pupils contracted violently, and then he shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

Thirty mecha warriors immediately assumed a combat stance. The soldiers on Yucun's side also shouted in unison, and they also entered the battle state.

The two sides were suddenly tense, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

"I'm curious. I don't know what I offended you about?I remember that my daughter and I saved you, right?" Xiao Ming said, making the Yucun warrior relax, looking at the other party's leader and smiling.

The team leader nodded: "Personally, my brother and I do owe you our lives. But whether you are friend or foe is still a conclusive conclusion!"

"Disaster has struck, and now there is only one enemy for the human race in the entire Ancient Domain Star, and that is the Sunset! Why are we enemies?" Xiao Ming spread his hands.

"Because there are traitors among the human race!" the leader snorted coldly, "And, can you explain why you put nanoworms on us?"

Sure enough, the other party discovered the existence of the nano scout bug.

Xiao Ming was not nervous, and smiled faintly: "The reason is very simple, I and the people behind me have lost our stronghold and need a new place to go." I happened to meet you, so I thought I might be able to join you. And I'm also very interested in your mechs. My daughter is a mecha researcher!"

I have to say that with the continuous growth, although Xiao Ming is still not good at interpersonal communication, he has improved a lot compared to when he could only speak with his fists. (To be continued.) )
