Chapter 20: Conspiracy

In the Wild Northern Region, as the morning sun rose, the lingering smell of blood also dissipated a little.

The group walked through countless ruins, which thousands of years ago were also warm tribes or existences, but now they have become so dilapidated under the chaos. And the reason for this is that it is precisely because of the invasion of the Holy Beast Empire that the great war made this place look like this.

"I heard from some old people that this Wild North was once ruled by a powerful family. Luo Gui saw Han Ling looking around, and then spoke. Luo Gui pointed not far away, it was a stone that was still intact, and a complex and strange pattern was carved on it.

"That seems to be the Stygian Pattern?" Xuan'er said.

"Well, and it is said to be an extremely powerful kind of dark pattern, with the power to transform into flames, but after the invasion of the Holy Beast Empire, none of those families survived, and all of them were gone. But the most strange thing is that their original capital has evaporated out of thin air, and the location where it evaporated is the location where the current Arabei County is located. ”

Han Ling was also curious when he heard it, this was somewhat similar to the ghost stories that circulated among the people.

"So no one dares to commit murder in the Wasteland County, and as long as someone from the Holy Beast Empire enters the city, it will instantly evaporate, but I have seen it with my own eyes. ”

"Sounds scary. ”

"Ha Luha, Miss Xuan'er don't worry, we humans still have nothing to do with each other. ”

"Aren't the Sacred Beast Empire's humans?"

"The appearance is, but the bloodline is not, the alienating power in their dark pattern is often turned into a beast, and in terms of strength and explosiveness, we are much weaker. What's more, they also have beast riders. Luo Gui's face was very solemn when he said this, "Therefore, their souls are more suitable for refining some soul stones with special effects, of course, this is also related to the fact that the soul power in their souls is more substantial." ”

"The power of the soul is more abundant?"

"Well, on average, it's 50% higher than that of a normal human. ”

Hearing this, Han Ling smiled, the power of the soul, that is exactly what he needs.

"Huh?" Han Ling looked up and sighed, but suddenly his pupils shrank, and he saw a full moon looming in the clear sky at this time.

"The moon?"

"What's wrong with Brother Han Ling. Xuan'er also raised her head at the same time when she saw Han Ling's strange expression, but then she didn't look back, obviously, she also saw the full moon.

"What are you looking at? Luo Gui also looked at the sky like the two of them, but he didn't see the slightest mistake.

"Didn't you see the moon?" Xuan'er said in surprise.

"How can you see the moon at this time, your eyes are spent. ”

"Uh-huh, hallucination. Han Ling also said with a smile, but in his eyes, the full moon was still there, and it seemed that Luo Gui couldn't see it. At this time, Xuan'er's voice sounded in his head.

"It's probably because of the love of the holy moon, and my mother said that this chain is based on the moon. ”

Telephony.

After Han Ling heard Xuan'er's voice, he showed a look of embarrassment, it was obvious that Xuan'er's voice was not an illusion, but how could he reply?

"Just think about me and say what you're going to say once. ”

"Xuan'er, I always have a bad premonition. Han Ling was not in the mood to joke at this time, the strange full moon made him very uneasy, so he went straight to the point.

"Well, the moon is full tonight, and that full moon doesn't seem to be very different from a normal moon, you look closely. ”

"Like, there's a pattern carved on it...... And ......"

"Well, it's a bit similar to the stygian pattern on the stone that just broke......"

"No, that's the Stygian pattern, it's just ...... It is complete. ”

The astonishing discovery was that the two of them didn't say much about the others, first of all, it was too weird, and secondly, the other people couldn't see the full moon, and it was just a matter of worrying about it.

The group ran around for several hours, and soon they entered a mountain forest.

"Ahead is the small village that the intelligence says. Luo Zhong beckoned everyone to stop, "Luo Gui, you and I will go with you to find out the information, and the rest will stand by." ”

"Yes. ”

"Commander, I want to go and see it too. At this time, Han Ling spoke.

"Huh?" Luo Zhong frowned when he heard this, but Han Ling's expression didn't look like he was joking.

"Little Brother Han, we're not going to play, maybe there will be an ambush by the Holy Beast Empire army......"

"Come as you want, but I'll do it all. Luo Zhong finally said.

"Hmm. ”

In this way, Han Ling and Xuan'er followed Luo Zhong and Luo Gui to the small village.

Soon after, the four of them arrived in the village.

At this time, the village is still quiet, but it is quiet and a little deserted. And there are some deep pits on the ground in the village, which cannot be seen to the naked eye.

The appearance of several people attracted the attention of the villagers, some of them were also underworlds, but most of them were at a low level of strength, which was obviously powerless in front of the Soul Hunting Legion, let alone the Holy Beast Empire.

"Are you human?" said after the four of them looked around the village for a while, and finally one of the villagers stepped forward and said.

"Naturally, we have received information that this place may be invaded by the squads of the Holy Beast Empire. ”

"Hey...... You shouldn't have come. When the villager who stood up heard this, he seemed to know the intention of the four of them, and sighed.

"What's going on?" Luo Zhong said with a slight frown.

"In normal times, we would probably be grateful for your presence, but this time is different. ”

"Oh? ”

"Have you ever seen any surviving villages after the Sacred Beast Empire's plunder?"

Saying this, Luo Zhong and Luo Gui finally became solemn. The name of the village is right, where the Holy Beast Empire passes, it is impossible for humans to survive, let alone have no casualties.

"Three days ago, a team from the Holy Beast Empire invaded us. But they didn't do anything to us, they just left this deep hole in the village. Originally, we thought that we could escape, but who knows, someone accidentally fell into that pit yesterday and never came out again, and at that time, we felt that this Holy Beast Empire team that came this time might be different from the usual people who were just for plundering. ”

"So weird!?"

The old man of the village said that there were countless unjust spirits beneath these pits, waiting only for the full moon to come out and maim the cursed. And tonight, it's the night of the full moon. ”

"Then why don't you run away?"

"If you can't escape, this village has been imposed, and once you come in, you can't get out. And the people of the village are those who are cursed. ”

"Can't get out?" Luo Gui wondered, and then ran towards the entrance of the village. Soon, Luo Gui fell to the entrance of the village, he rushed out without stopping, when he took that step, his body disappeared in place, and the next moment, Luo Gui rushed out in front of a few people.

Luo Gui just felt that his vision was blurry for a while, and then he saw the solemn and surprised expressions of Han Ling, Han Xuan'er, and Luo Zhong.

"Soul Lock Array!" "With Luo Zhong's knowledge, how could he not recognize this, but the soul stones required to arrange a soul array that enveloped the entire village were extremely huge, was this the financial resources that ordinary Holy Beast Empire raiders could have?

"I really shouldn't have come. The villager sighed again, "You are not the first batch, and it is estimated that you will not be the last." ”

"What the hell is going on...... What the hell are the people of the Holy Beast Empire going to do. ”

And just as Luo Zhong's words fell, there was another fluctuation at the entrance of the village, and then, several figures suddenly appeared, and the villager didn't know what to say when he saw this.

Someone else is coming.

On the border of the Holy Beast Empire, camp in camp.

A heavily armored man stood straight in front of the tent, the light of the dark sun reflecting the sparkle on the armor.

"According to what the master said, tonight will be the weakest time for the seal, as long as the seal can be broken and the holy relics can be taken, then the deterrence of the Holy Beast Empire by the Desolate Northern County will no longer exist, and at that time, it will not be easy for the Holy Beast Empire to capture this Desolate Northern Region. "And as the primary hero, he, Hu Gu, will definitely be promoted to a knighthood. Hu Gu raised his head to look at the clear sky, and the corners of his mouth raised a sinister arc.

"Has the information been spread?" Suddenly, Hu Gu withdrew his smile and said with a cold face. Behind him, a figure with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes slowly appeared.

"Well, there should be quite a few humans going there this time. ”

"The more the merrier, the greater the number of sacrifices, the stronger the power of the formation can be. If we miss this time, we may have to wait for a thousand years, and the general will not be happy to see this result, and then we may all have to die. There was a hint of ruthlessness in Hu Gu's eyes.

"There are many different arguments this time, and it is not a matter of a day or two that those humans covet our souls, and they will definitely visit such a good opportunity, as long as they enter the village, it will be our meal. ”

"There is a huge difference in the strength of human beings, so it can't be delayed for too long, in case some masters are mixed in, maybe the formation will not be able to trap them. And they certainly won't all go in, there must be other people in ambush around. Tell the eleventh team to go!"

"Yes!"
