Peter led the team to flee in a hurry, even though there was no trace of those strange monsters behind them, they still did not dare to stop.

About half an hour later, they successfully joined up with the second team that had caught up along the mark, and seeing that they were so embarrassed, the officer who temporarily commanded the second team asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”

Peter's face was extremely ugly, he turned his head to look behind him, and said in a depressed tone: "This place is a little weird, let's quickly withdraw to the station." ”

The officer did not dare to ask any more questions, and immediately asked the team to turn around and evacuate, and only halfway did he realize what had happened to Peter and them, and for a while, a panic grew in their hearts.

They had all undergone special training, and naturally knew that it was almost impossible for Warcraft, especially huge Warcraft, to live in groups, even if they were of the same race.

The reason is very simple and practical, the food that a demonic beast consumes every day is very huge, and the larger the size, the more so, and it is impossible to maintain the survival of the group by living in a group.

Even in the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where the biodensity is high, this is almost impossible, let alone the periphery where the biodensity is extremely low?

Generally speaking, most of the monsters that live in groups are smaller, such as the red-tailed monkey encountered during the development of limestone veins, or the wildebeest captured by Ryan in the valley.

In addition to living in groups, there is only one possibility for so many large Warcraft to gather together, and that is the "Warcraft Tide" that makes people feel the wind and change.

According to ancient books and the historical records of the former lords of the Kanna Lord, in the depths of the Warcraft Mountain Range, there are Warcraft kings who have reached the "legendary" level of the human world, they are terrifying beings comparable to dragons, and often dominate a large area.

In that area, all the demonic beasts were its vassals, subject to its power.

These beast kings will compete for territory with each other, or covet the land outside the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and then they will gather their demonic beasts to attack.

This is the origin of the beast tide, and it is a very large beast tide!

Because only a large-scale beast tide would gather so many huge demonic beasts.

The location where they appeared was on the periphery of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and this was naturally not a battle for territory between beast kings, but an attack on the territory of humans, this kind of thing had happened many times in history, and it was impossible for these soldiers not to be afraid.

In the face of the terrifying beast tide, none of them had the confidence to be able to resist it!

With trepidation, they returned to their station at the foot of the mountain as fast as they could.

Since the training time was not over, the large army naturally could not rush back, but this matter could not be delayed, and Peter was immediately selected to go to Dorman City with several other witnesses to report the situation.

Ryan took the matter very seriously and met them in person inside the castle.

"Peter, I know you, you used to be the captain of a battalion, and you made a lot of achievements in the first battle of the orc invasion." Ryan said after motioning for a few people to sit down.

Peter was a little excited, he didn't expect Ryan to remember his name, after all, it was a high-ranking viscount.

After seeing that several people were seated, Ryan asked, "Tell me what happened in detail, and don't let go of any details." ”

"Yes, my lord, we were executing the ...... that day" Peter was nervous, but he spoke clearly and coherently, and quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Even Ryan was a little surprised when he heard that they had killed a fourth-level demonic beast without using a crystal bomb, it was a demonic beast that was stronger than a high-level knight, and they actually took it down with such a small casualty.

If this was placed in the past, they didn't dare to think at all, a group of mortals killed fourth-level demonic beasts, fairy tales would not dare to write like this, but now, with new equipment, they can do it completely, and there is not much pressure.

When he first encountered that iron-armored brute bear, he and Xiyue could be said to have killed it with a lot of effort.

This made Ryan very relieved, and it seemed that he was not going in the wrong direction.

In the process of reminiscing, Peter highlighted the strangeness of the area, as well as the suspicious "sinkhole".

For some reason, when Peter spoke of the black earth and the gray mist, he was inexplicably reminded of the ruins of the institute in the Warcraft Mountain Range, and the hologram left by the director of it once described a kind of devil that accompanied the "heavenly fire".

They invade the human world by means of gray mist, and the gray mist is black after eroding the land.

"What's the connection with all this?" Thinking of the devil who escaped from the research room that the director of the research institute said, Ryan suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

Peter didn't know how his words had affected Ryan, and he was now gushing about the strange appearance of the beasts, highlighting the difference between the two waves.

"They...... It's not in line with any of the monsters I know, it's like a hodgepodge, it's very ...... Discord. ”

Peter held back for a long time, and in the end he could only express it in terms of discord.

"Hodgepodge......" Ryan's eyebrows furrowed, and according to Peter's description, he couldn't imagine what it was.

"By the way, my lord, I also grabbed some dirt and plants and came back, I think you might need it." Peter suddenly remembered that he had brought a bag of mud with him.

He hurriedly handed over the cloth bag he was carrying.

Ryan didn't expect the other party to have such a consciousness, and couldn't help but be impressed by him.

When he opened the bag, a very peculiar smell suddenly spread, it was not the smell of earth, and Ryan felt that he could not describe it in words, only that he hated it from the depths of his soul.

There is a dark green grass inside, and it stands to reason that whether it is grass, wood, insects, fish, birds and animals in the world, there will be a "life" in the body.

It can be said that as long as it is a living creature, it will have vitality, but ordinary people can't feel it, but for a great knight like Ryan, this feeling is obvious.

But this grass was different, and although it showed no signs of withering, Ryan felt no life at all, as if it were not a grass, but a cold stone.

"Could it be that the vitality dissipated after the harvest? That's not right, the vitality of the plants and trees shouldn't disappear so quickly. The doubts in Ryan's heart became more and more intense, which was not at all in line with common sense.

"Show it to the others when the time comes." Ryan put away the cloth bag, looked at Peter with a serious expression and said: "There are a lot of suspicious points in this matter, after you go back, you can train in another direction, don't get close for the time being, and you can bring back the rewards and materials together." ”

This was the order to evict the guest, but Peter looked a little speechless, and he could see that he was very entangled.

"Did you find anything else?" Looking at his constipated expression, Ryan asked with a smile.

Peter gritted his teeth: "My lord, I think this is a bit like the legendary beast tide, it is very close to the construction site of the new city, is it prepared in advance?" ”

Ryan was noncommittal to his suggestion, nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll pay attention to it." ”

After sending a few people away, Ryan took out a huge ball from the drawer, turned on the switch and said: "Allen, there is a very likely emergency situation in the Warcraft Mountain Range in the near future, end the training immediately, the fourth and fifth battalions are stationed in the new city, bring more heavy weapons, and always be vigilant against the wind and grass in the direction of the Warcraft Mountain Range." ”

Although Ryan didn't think this was a harbinger of the beast tide, he was prepared, and the lives of more than 20,000 construction workers on the construction site were not child's play.

Just as the construction of the walls of the new city was nearing completion, the transfer of two battalions was enough to build a solid defense.

It didn't take long for the ball in his hand to flash, and a calm voice came from it: "I'm Allen, lead the troops immediately." ”

Ryan recounted the cause and effect of the incident, told Eren to be vigilant, and then ended the conversation.

"This microphone ball is really convenient, but I don't know when Liman and they will be able to solve the technical problem, and then they will be able to solve the long-standing problem of remote communication."

After feeling emotional, he rushed to Liman's rune lab with the bag, and the uneasiness in his heart told him that this matter was not simple, and he urgently needed to figure it out.

——————

"I don't feel any life in a curious plant, but it doesn't look like it's completely dead." Liman looked at the grass in front of him, as confused as Ryan.

"Susan, you've read a lot of books about Warcraft, is there a Warcraft that matches what I just said?" Ryan automatically filtered through Liman's nonsense and turned to look at his sister Susan.

Susan's little face tightened, and when she heard this, she shook her head decisively and said: "It is impossible for any Warcraft to look like that, it is really too contrary to common sense, under normal circumstances, no Warcraft will be like that." ”

Ryan frowned, he knew in his heart that this was impossible, and asked Susan just to be sure, so it seemed that his previous guess might be true.

"You say, is it possible that these strange-shaped magical beasts were artificially created?" He made a bold assumption.

"It's not ......," Liman was about to retort to Ryan, but suddenly remembered a piece of information that he had overlooked.

He immediately plunged into the data storage room to rummage, and soon found a large piece of animal skin paper, which Liman laid flat on the table with a solemn face and said:

"This is the information you brought back from that ruin, it records a very confidential research, remember the research institute that studied the escape of the last living specimen of the demon seed?"

"Of course I remember, you're saying that these things have something to do with the Demon Seed?"

"That's right." Liman nodded his head, then pointed to the vellum paper and said, "It is recorded that the research institute tried to transform the demon species and turn them into human weapons of war.

They use a technology called 'transplantation and recombination', which is to combine some of the organs of the Warcraft with the Demon Seed to finally form one or more war weapons that can be mass-produced! ”

"What a crazy plan...... Ryan was dumbfounded, could this be an otherworldly version of biochemical experiments?

"It's crazy, but according to the records, their experiments should have failed, and the technology disappeared with the fall of the laboratory, so how did these monsters with perfectly matched characteristics appear?"

"Is it possible that there are still survivors of the fallen research institute who took the relevant technology and hid in that 'sinkhole'?" Susan made a bold guess.

"If that's the case, that's fine." One of Liman's faces was eerily gloomy.

"Yes, I'm afraid that the devils who destroyed the world have mastered those technologies......" Ryan said faintly, with the worst consequences.

The former is still a human being, and he is more or less "related" to Ryan, but the devil is different, it is an existence that once destroyed the world!

Gray mist, lifeless plants, black earth, strange monsters......

The key words of all this are to direct the eyes of Ryan and others to the "devil" who does not know what era has come, which is really a terrible and terrifying speculation.

"Is there really a devil who has come to this world and destroyed the human world? But why I have never seen any record of the devil, not even during the Dawning Empire? ”

Susan felt that they were a bit alarmist, the history of this world spanned a long time, and it has been nearly 100,000 years since the earliest written record.

This is a very terrifying time, you must know that even if you are sprinkling and rolling on the blue star, the history of writing will not exceed 5,000 years, and 100,000 years is really terrifying.

But even so, there is not the slightest record of the devil, which makes Susan a little skeptical that it really exists.

Taking 10,000 steps back, if the powerful era of the existence of the institute was 100,000 years ago, but they were all destroyed in that way, who defeated these demons and re-established civilization? Gods?

This is really full of too many doubts, which makes Susan, who has always been rigorous, a little unacceptable.

"Alas, I've always been skeptical about it, but now that this 'patchwork' of demonic beasts has appeared, and all the information points to them, I have to treat them as imaginary enemies."

Ryan's hands slapped heavily on the table, whether it was the devil or the konjac, this was not good news for the close Karna, it was time to take precautions.

"Master Liman, do you have any new achievements in weapons recently?" Ryan looked at Liman expectantly, the existing weapons really couldn't give Ryan confidence, he needed more and more powerful weapons.

Liman scratched his hair and said, "There is indeed a new achievement, but it is still a long way from success, and if it can be completed, it will surpass all the current weapons in the territory." ”

Ryan's eyes suddenly burst into light, Liman never brags, he said that transcendence will definitely surpass, which can't help but make him a little excited, and hurriedly asked.

"The inspiration for this weapon still comes from what kind of cannon you said before, it should be similar to the principle you said, I named it [Magic Crystal Cannon]."
