Chapter 431: The Future Is Dark
Night fell on the earth, and all things fell into the night. There is no light, only despair. In the jungle where they walked, the hungry hunter had been waiting for a long time. The fangs that can't be held back are about to move!
In the northern part of the empire, there was a vast mountainous area. The mountains are undulating, and the rarely populated forests are the uncrowned kings here. In the few villages, there are terrifying legends. In the dark of night, if someone enters the forest, they will never be able to come out again. This black forest is evil and is known as the Unclean Land. Walking through it is as if the forest will move with it, so it is called a walking jungle.
There are dangerous hunters in the jungle, no one knows what they are, only that they are powerful and dangerous enough. They are able to tear through trees with ease, and even steel shields cannot withstand their fangs. Therefore, people living around the mountains, even the most powerful hunters, do not haunt the jungle at night.
The night seemed to be no different from the previous one, with a bright and large moon hanging over the starry night. On this clear day, you can even see the majestic mountains that rise and fall on the moon. The moonlight casts on the primeval forest of the mountains, and this black forest seems to refuse the entry of the moonlight. The thick, black trees were desperately trying to grow their canopy, so that the branches and foliage intertwined with each other, leaving only the slightest imperceptible crevice.
It was dark in the forest, and suddenly, a fire exploded in a corner. This startled a beast foraging for food at night, and it looked up, and the fire reflected in a few of its eyes. In the firelight, there seemed to be a few shadows flashing.
"Hurry up, that's coming!"
"Teams A and B dispersed, and Team C moved on. Young Master, please follow me. ”
"Attention, the target has entered the intended war zone."
"The hunt begins!"
Short sentences weaved back and forth through the communication channels of the tactical helmet, and soldiers in light green armor entered their respective positions as planned, armed with magical rifles never seen before in this world. The three soldiers acting as decoys quickly pushed forward, and behind them, a tall figure blocked the fire. When it jumps off the low slope of the explosion, its appearance can be seen by the light of the fire.
It looks like a rhinoceros man, more than three meters tall, and definitely a big one. The head and back of this big creature are lined with thick thick scales. Elsewhere, a coarse layer of light brown skin grows. On the rhinoceros-shaped head, a thick, pointed horn also stands up in the middle of the nostrils. On two arms, as thick as legs, each held a war hammer made of wood and rough iron.
When it jumped to the ground, the whole mountain forest seemed to shake, and a circle of sand and mud was raised. The rhinoceros man let out a menacing roar from his mouth and slammed his hammer into the ground, shaking the warriors in front of him to a steady.
"Fight!" A man's calm voice rang out in the communication channel.
Suddenly, a dozen or so fully armed warriors jumped out of the surrounding grass, and the magic energy gun lines in their hands lit up, and then a dense barrage of source power shrouded the rhinoceros people. The source force bullet lightly knocked open the thick armor and rough skin on the rhinoceros man, but with a single face, it beat the rhinoceros man into a sieve. The big man was covered in blood, but he still fell, and it only aroused ferocity. Spin in place and throw the hammers out to the left and right.
The warhammer burst through the air and let out a terrifying scream. The warrior fell to his knees, only a little slower, and slammed the warhammer into the tactical helmet, which immediately exploded his entire head, and the headless corpse flew upside down, falling a shocking bloodstain.
At this moment, countless leaves fell from the sky, covering the space within a radius of ten meters from the rhinoceros people. The large man looked at the leaves suspiciously, and one of them brushed lightly against its body, immediately making a deep cut in its rough surface. The rhinoceros man screamed, the seemingly harmless leaves sharper than the blades!
Hundreds of leaves shaped by the source force scraped like blades, and the rhinoceros spurted blood all over his body. The scales, the rough skin, and even the horn on the head slashed off the leaves, and the strong smell of blood immediately wafted through the jungle. At this moment, the dim forest lit up with a little chill. This bit of cold light on the rhinoceros man's chest disappeared casually.
The rhinoceros man paused, and suddenly a fountain of blood erupted from his chest, and finally his eyes lost their brightness, and he fell to the ground and did not move.
At this time, the soldiers noticed that there was an additional figure next to the corpse of the big guy. Seeing him, the soldiers all exhaled in their helmets. It was Langdon, the leader of their guards, and what Langdon had used was his proudest skill, "Falling Hero Dance".
Retracting his sword, Langdon looked back and said, "It's safe, you can come out, young master." ”
After a few moments, the eye makeup was completely on, and Diego, who looked like a wolf, came out from behind the grass with a war spear. He stabbed the rhinoceros man several times with his spear in anger, and then exclaimed a little nervously, "Didn't this planet say in Allen's report that this is a planet dominated by humans?" Why would we run into the Cato people who only live on the Wild Rock Star, aren't these berserk hunters supposed to be on the Battlefield of Chaos? How could they be here! ”
Langdon was also speechless on these questions. Diego pulled a family team to form a hunting group, took the coordinates of the Heavenly Star and rushed over. But when their starship passed over this mountain forest, it was suddenly attacked and forced to land. After that, they had been active in the mountains and forests, and it didn't take long for them to discover that the planetary natives who attacked the starship turned out to be one of the chaotic creatures in the Jotun Domain.
The Cato are powerful creatures living on the Wastestone Star, and with a height of nearly five meters in height, the adult Cato are the most violent hunters. Tempers are as violent as they look, and if you have to talk about shortcomings, it's probably just that your head isn't very bright. As for strength, physical strength, and tenacious vitality, all of them were Cato's strengths, which also gave their enemies a headache.
Although the Cato people living in this forest are much inferior to their compatriots on the Wild Stone Star, Diego's team is less than thirty people, and they can only flee for their lives in the face of the Cato people who dominate this forest.
Langdon's face was gloomy, maybe this expedition was not as good as he had imagined before he set off. It is true that this planet is rich in resources, but on the contrary, the indigenous life here is also very dangerous. Coupled with the fact that the starship has now been taken away by the natives, their future is like this night, and there is no light of dawn in sight.
It is also night, far away on the other side of the empire, but the night on the Pearl Island can only be described as gentle.
After the catastrophe during the day, the island's inhabitants picked up the pieces. Fortunately, there were not many people living in the direction that was attacked by the Siren, most of them were woods and wasteland, so the loss of Pearl Island was not serious. Several families who lost their homes had to move to another place and rebuild their houses.
After an afternoon of emergency repairs, the Paradise has been almost repaired. As Roger said, we will be able to set sail tomorrow. Unexpectedly, the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce left Pearl Island in the afternoon. Alan didn't forget Jì, Sal's resentful gaze as he left. He knew that his feud with the Blood Shark was settled, and he also knew that the more powerful Earl Eric was behind the Blood Shark.
But even if he did it all over again, he wouldn't change his decision during the day. After all, compared to the threat that only appeared in the future of the Bloody Earl, the threat of the Naga was more immediate. If the Blood Shark doesn't hand over the Naga, then the entire Pearl Island may not be able to escape.
At that time, Alan didn't want to sit on the dock and fish like he is now.
The sound of people swimming in the water was heard, and several bonfires were being lit on a beach not far from the pier, where Regers and the others were swimming. Life is like that, you will always gain some and lose some at the same time. If you gain friends, you will naturally gain enemies.
It always has been.
Allen's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at the sea under his feet. The sea water is constantly bubbling and strings of bubbles are bubbling and bubbling non-stop. Then, a head of white hair came out of the water, and under the hair, of course, was Lily's immature little face. She raised her head, just saw Alan, and suddenly showed a frightened expression, just like an ordinary little girl, and Eren couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.
"What are you laughing at, impudent human!" Lily protested.
Alan put away the fishing rod and said, "Your Highness Lily, we have already handed over your clansmen, you shouldn't regret it, right?" ”
"Your Highness is the kind of person who goes back on your word, and your guts are too small, human!" Lily looked to the side and whispered, "I'm here for you." ”
Alan looked at the Naga girl with some flattery, and Lily suddenly glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't think about it, it's just that the elder said." Although you released Vivi and her sisters under my coercion, it was not you who captured our people after all. So, as their princess, I still have to thank you for them. ”
"It's called etiquette!" Lily muttered again, "I hate etiquette like that." ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to thank me, I just made the right choice."
"It's best for you to say that, you want to thank you humans, it's disgusting to me!" Lily said with her tongue out.
Alan saw that she had a deep prejudice against humans, even though she knew that a large part of the reason for Lily's psychology was the fault of humans. But he is a member of the human race after all, even if he is not a life on this planet, he feels quite uncomfortable, and his tone turns cold at the moment: "Since this is the case, Your Highness can go back." ”
Lily narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "No one dares to speak to me in such a tone!" ”
"Your Highness is the princess of the Naga tribe, not the princess of our humans, doesn't Your Highness feel that it is a little lenient? Besides, even if we human princesses want to gain the respect of others, we must first learn to respect others. Otherwise, just like His Highness's tone, even if others respect you verbally, they may not respect you in their hearts. What do you think? Her Royal Highness Lily. Alan said indifferently. R1058
