Chapter 24: A Familiar Taste
There are two kinds of humanoids in the Beichen Empire.
One is the humanoids who can freely switch between beast and human forms, they are the untouchable class of the Beichen Empire, and they are allowed to enter Mulan City and live in the specially divided southern district.
There is also a humanoid that cannot be switched back to a complete human form, such as the humanoid who is half-human and half-horse until death, and belongs to the slave class of the Beichen Empire.
Slaves are not allowed to enter Mulan City to live in Guiyuanxing.
From birth, they were sent to a humanoid slave breeding center outside the city.
When he grew up, he was confined to the plantation outside the city, and was strictly managed by the Beichen Empire, and he could not leave the plantation for the rest of his life.
So how did these humanoid slaves leave the heavily defended plantation and come to the far north of the alien beast forest, which is 100,000 kilometers away from Mulan City?
No grievances, why would they attack their own Night Hunter squad?
Xia Chujian heard from her aunt that the humanoids in Mulan City are very close to animal habits, especially the humanoid slaves outside the city, they will not take the initiative to attack humans, unless their lives are threatened, they will fight back.
And the humanoid slaves who can fight back are a very small minority among humanoids.
The vast majority of humanoid slaves have long been raised like animals.
For humans, they have a natural fear and weakness to be bullied.
Xia Chujian had never seen such a humanoid slave who actively attacked humans.
She pursed her lips, her fingers pulling the trigger tighter and tighter, aiming it at the pig-headed humanoid.
At this moment, she saw the pig-headed man suddenly tilt his head from the objective lens of the sniper rifle, as if listening to something.
When Xia first saw it, he realized that the pig-headed human's ears should have something like headphones.
They are driven!
Xia Chujian suddenly understood.
It's not a simple humanoid slave attacking humans, it's a human being behind these humanoid slaves who are attacking their squad!
Being able to get humanoid slaves from the plantation outside Mulan City, and bring them out to the extreme north of the alien beast forest 100,000 kilometers away, the people behind this have a lot of energy......
Xia Chujian analyzed the whole thing, and gradually felt that something was not right.
The fingers that pull the trigger are getting tighter and tighter.
The pig-headed man had a bow on his back and a quiver with several arrows in it on a straw rope around his waist.
As soon as the pig-headed man drew his arrow and raised his bow, she did it.
With the power of her Inquisitor No. 7 sniper, she will destroy this pig-headed man with only ordinary bows and arrows in minutes.
But just when Xia Chu saw the killing intent getting stronger, the pig-headed man seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Xia Chujian.
There was a momentary pause in his movements.
At the last moment, a puppy broke into the objective field of view that Xia first saw.
Unexpectedly, the little dog I saw a few days ago appeared next to the pig-headed man for the first time in the summer!
The pig-headed man looked down, and then his face changed.
He threw himself on the ground with a thud, holding the little dog tightly in his arms with one hand, and with the other hand he took something out of his ear and threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times, then put his hands together, raised it up, and bowed to the place where Xia first saw him.
It is completely a posture of begging for mercy and raising a white flag to surrender.
Is this aware that he is being targeted by a sniper rifle?
It's a very instinctive feeling.
And also know to protect the puppy.
Xia Hatsumi did not let his guard down because of this.
She still maintained an aiming posture, staring motionlessly at the objective view of the sniper rifle, waiting for Ye Shijie and them to retreat.
If she doesn't see them, she won't give up aiming.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for another tall horse-like figure to appear.
It's a woman.
She has long flowing hair, a tight-fitting leather coat on her upper body, and a sturdy horse body at the waist.
Da ran from the snowy wilderness, and clear horseshoe prints appeared on the snow.
Once behind the pig-headed human, she jerked her upper body up, both of her front hooves raised high.
Then, with a thud, it fell and stomped the pig-headed human!
This horse's body is at least two meters tall, and its waist is the body of a horse, which is stronger than a real horse.
If she steps on this horse's hooves, the pig-headed man will definitely be trampled to the stomach!
The pig-headed man is just that, and the little dog who is protected by the pig-headed man will definitely not survive.
Xia Chujian pursed her lips, she wouldn't save the pig-headed human, but she had inexplicable pity for the little dog.
At this moment, her reason told her not to meddle, but her fingers did not obey and had already pulled the trigger!
Click!
Inquisitor 7 sniper exits a magazine, and an armor-piercing sniper bullet shoots out silently, as if death has descended and harvested life.
The tall horse-body female humanoid has not yet fallen, and the sniper bullet that Xia Chu saw has already penetrated her heart, directly turning her upper body into a blood mist!
Moreover, the kinetic energy of the sniper bullet was so great that it even knocked the horse's body away with a human-like bang, and the four horse's legs slid straight backwards for several meters before falling with a bang.
The pig-headed man lay on the ground with his head covered, and was even more frightened, and his whole body was trembling.
After a while, feeling that there was no movement, he trembled and hugged his head and looked back.
It was a peculiar scene.
When he fell to the ground, he could no longer tell whether it was a horse or a man.
For the upper body of the thing was gone, and only the body and four legs of the horse were seen, and the gurgling blood stained the snow around it.
The pig-headed man stared at it in a daze for a moment, then turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of Xia Chujian.
He seemed to understand something.
Resolutely pulled out something from the tattered sack-like clothes on his body, and then took out a long arrow from the quiver on his waist, and tied the thing to the long arrow.
Then he stood up, holding the trembling puppy in one hand and the arrow in the other, and staggered in the direction of Xia Chujian.
Xia Chu saw this clearly.
The pig-headed man tied to the arrow seemed to be a piece of cloth.
I guess it was white cloth many years ago, but now it's that color, don't talk about it.
But looking at this posture, he is raising the white flag and wants to surrender.
He had already begged for mercy on his stomach before, and now he was like this......
Did she believe in him, or did she not?
When Xia Chu saw hesitation, Ye Shijie suddenly jumped out of the woods and aimed his assault rifle at the pig-headed human.
With the comparison between the two, Xia Chujian realized that the pig-headed man was actually not tall.
Ye Shijie stood in front of him, and the pig-headed man only reached the position of Ye Shijie's chest, and it was about one meter four or five.
Compared to the two-meter-tall horse-like just now, this pig-headed human looks like a child...... Piggy kids.
Before, Xia Hatsumi could only see everything in this side from the scope, and couldn't hear the sound.
But now that Ye Shijie is speaking, she can hear it.
Because Ye Shijie has the communication equipment used in their team.
Ye Shijie was saying: "Stop, take one more step and I'll shoot." ”
The pig-headed man hurriedly put down the puppy, bent his knees, knelt down, still holding the white flag in surrender, and said in a trembling voice: "Three-mane, three-mane, three-mane...... Three-mane is forced... Threemane doesn't want to kill...... Please, uncle, save the three manes! ”
Ye Shijie: "......"
See you at the beginning of summer: "......"
Li Lian, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong, who had just come out of the woods, were also speechless.
Li Jian asked curiously, "Three...... Sect? What's your name? What two words? Write it out and take a look."
The pig-headed man nodded, knelt on the ground and drew three ones with his fingers in the snow, arranged from top to bottom.
Then he drew three vertical lines next to the word "three", and said embarrassedly: "I am three manes, three of one, two, three, and the bristles of pig's bristles." That mane is too hard to write, I can't write it. ”
Dare to love those three vertical lines are the meaning of three pig bristles?
What is this called?
Unlike Xia Chujian, Ye Shijie has also dealt with humanoids, but the humanoids they have seen are all the kind of people who are very fierce and can fan normal humans to death with one hand.
They rarely see such cowardly and timid pig-headed humans.
But Ye Shijie didn't believe him so easily.
He still pointed a gun at this pig-headed man, and said coldly: "What the hell is going on, talk well." If you dare to lie to us, we will destroy you in minutes! ”
Threemane shook his head frantically: "No, no! Don't dare, don't dare ”
"Three-mane is cultivated on a plantation south of Mulan City! Three-mane loves farming! Three-mane is willing to farm! Three-mane doesn't want to fight and kill! ”
"It's that human who lied to Threemane! said that he brought the three-mane to the alien beast forest to look for seeds, but after he came, he turned his face! If you don't help him kill humans, he won't go back with Sanmane, and he will have Sanmane's life! ”
Li Lian leaned against the big tree, sneered and said, "Then why don't you kill it?" Otherwise, you won't survive! ”
The three-maned pig's face was wrinkled, and he shook the white flag and muttered, "...... However, the three manes can't do it...... And ......"
He glanced in the direction of Xia Chujian again and said, "That uncle saved Sanmane's life...... Sanmane originally wanted to surrender, uncle, don't kill Sanman! Threemane can do a lot of work! You don't need the uncle to give the three manes to eat, the three manes can help the uncle find something to eat! There's many, many goodies here! You can smell it when you smell it! ”
Ye Shijie was originally dismissive, and wanted to finish off this pig-headed person with one shot.
Because he was a very cautious man.
In a place like this, who knows if this pig-headed man is really good, or if it's pretend?
He can't afford to gamble and doesn't want to gamble, let alone gamble.
Just when he wanted to pull the trigger, Xia Chujian suddenly said in the team channel: "Ask him, what good things can you smell?" ”
Ye Shijie's eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to understand the meaning of Xia Chujian.
He looked at the pig-headed man and asked faintly, "What can you smell?" ”
The pig-headed humanoid who called himself "Three-Maned" was in good spirits, raised his head and took a deep breath, his nose twitched, and he closed his eyes and said: "In the northwest of here, there is a purple orchid linden grass, which is about 5,000 years old and can move freely. ”
"To the southeast, there are wild extremely cold rice varieties that grow in very cold places......
He sighed: "I came to find this kind of rice seed, but unfortunately, I can't go back if I find it...... It's too far away......"
