At the darkest moment before dawn, Venus is hidden under thick dark clouds, and the air is so oppressive that it makes people feel restless.
The area around Jiuyuan has entered winter. Although it hasn't snowed yet, you can already see hoarfrost all over the ground when you get up early in the morning.
There is a row of mud houses beside the paved road, which are simple but sturdy. There were one to several people sleeping in each earthen hut, and the Kunpengs flew somewhere to rest and did not see them.
Yuan Zhan naturally occupied a room by himself, and he also built an earthen platform as a bed, and the bed was only covered with a thick animal skin.
Probably because they are used to sleeping with two people. At this time, there was obviously only one person on the bed, but he only occupied half of it, and his overly long arms and legs protruded from the edge of the bed. And the chest is still exposed.
The earth house has ventilation holes at the top of the wall to prevent insects and ants from crawling in. There are not many insects and ants this season, but it is not without them. Some cold-resistant insects are more deadly, and the earth house is warmer than the outside, which will also attract them. Crawl inside.
There are also some insect-repelling herbs on the side of the vent hole. After using it before, the effect has always been very good.
"Swish."
The anti-insect herbs shook a few times, and some fell off.
Yuan Zhan raised his leg to scratch, put it down, and still fell into a deep sleep.
Some white, pinpoint-sized baby spiders appeared on the soil bed.
These little white spiders all stopped when Yuan Zhan raised his legs, and waited for a while before starting to crawl quickly again.
Little white spiders crawled into the man's hair and ran all the way up to his ears.
The white spider paused for a moment, as if judging whether there was any danger. After a while, seeing that the man didn't respond, he immediately sped up and crawled into his ear hole.
A large number of black and red ants crawled into the air hole...
"Jie! How long are you going to endure? You won't really be bitten to death by these little bugs, right?" Kun Xuefeng's loud and clear cry came from the sky outside the house.
The original battle on the bed suddenly disappeared.
The soldiers in the other rooms also started to use various means to eliminate the poisonous insects that entered the room. They couldn't stand it anymore. Who could bear so many insects crawling on themselves, especially after those little spiders crawled into their hair.
In less than ten minutes, the battle was over.
The enemies who did the black hands were all thrown by the side of the road, no matter whether they were dead or alive.
People are easy to catch, but bugs are troublesome. Yuan Zhan used a ring of fire to create a barrier at the beginning, but those bugs seemed to have received some instructions, which completely violated the biological fear of creatures, and burrowed into the ring of fire like crazy.
Yuan Zhan didn't want to have an uneasy life in the next few days, and he didn't want to bring these bugs back to Jiuyuan, so he simply spent a little time with a few fire control fighters to kill and repel these bugs.
After taking care of the army of insects and ants, Yuan Zhan, Stan, Old Man Fengyu, and Kun Xuefeng each captured one of the remaining attackers alive, and took them to the side for interrogation.
Those raiders who only wore animal skins and looked like savage tribes all put on expressions of death.
Yuan Zhan picked out his ears, although the little spiders were burned to death as soon as they entered his ears, but the feeling did not fade away so easily, until now he still felt like there were bugs crawling in his ears.
For this reason, when Yuan Zhan tortured the attackers, he inevitably had to be a little harsher and more cruel.
"I'll ask you one last time, who sent you?"
The attacker, whose fingers, toes, nose and ears were cut off, trembled, his face and eyes were full of endless hatred and extreme fear of Yuan Zhan.
"Don't say it? How about gouging out one of your eyes this time?"
Mosha buzzed and vibrated, it was no longer satisfied with just being a tool for torture.
"I'm not, I'm not afraid of you, I curse you, I curse you... ah!"
The attacker's eyes widened, his body trembled, and his legs and feet completely lost strength and collapsed on the ground.
Yuan Zhan pulled Mo Sha out of the eye socket of the attacker, and the moment the tip of the knife left the opponent's eye socket, the man turned into powder.
"Did you find out? These people were also sent by the Horned Man?" Kun Xuefeng swung over and threw another man with a broken neck to the ground.
"They said yes, but no." As soon as the attacker was interrogated, he said that he was sent by the horned man, but Yuan Zhan didn't believe it.
"Do you have other enemies?"
"The Kunpeng Clan has few enemies?" Yuan Zhan asked. Mo Sha didn't want to go back a little bit, it wasn't full yet, Yuan Zhan ignored its vague wishes and forcibly took it back into his body.
This is a question that does not need an answer. Kun Xuefeng felt that it was not worth it, "You are too cunning, you can just lie to me to pave the way for you, and now you are still using us as your eyes and ears."
Yuan Zhan hehe, "You can also refuse."
Kun Xuefeng looked at the looming black shadows in the sky and felt a little powerless. He wanted to get out, but the problem was that the gang of bachelors who came with him didn't know what kind of witchcraft the Mo Wu had taken, and they even offered to conduct investigations in the sky and nearby At this time, let alone let them go back, even if they are chased away, few of them are willing to leave.
As expected of the sorcerer that this king likes, it is really powerful. Kun Xuefeng completely had double standards of judgment.
"Our Kunpeng Clan will not intervene in the struggle between any forces. You can play like this, but don't expect us to help you fight."
Yuan Zhan replied without thinking: "I never counted on you, just don't make trouble for me."
Kun Xuefeng: ...I really want to join your enemy.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet. If you hadn't seen the changes of those people and insects and ants in the sky, maybe we would have suffered a big loss this time." Yuan Zhan patted King Kunpeng when he passed by him.
Kun Xuefeng's face looked better.
"Did you ask anything just now?" Yuan Zhan decided to treat the Kunpeng a little better.
Kun Xuefeng's face was darker, he was not good at torture than Yuan Zhan, and he killed people in a few blows.
Yuan Zhan left Kun Xuefeng with an expression of "you are nothing more than that" and went to Stan, he didn't expect himself and Kun Xuefeng to ask anything, Stan is the real torture expert-you can bear it physically pain, but can you bear the torment of the soul
Kun Xuefeng was depressed, and planned to learn how to torture the enemy from the clan bird who was the best at torture when he went back. In the end, no one knows whether he learned the torture technique, but after that, a rumor quickly spread among the Kunpeng clan: It is said that King Kunpeng failed to court a mate, and became a sadist when he came back. As a result, King Kunpeng has been a bachelor for a long time. Later, he discovered the problem and failed to refute the rumors many times. Instead, he was irritated and beat up several big birds, which made the rumors even worse. Later, he broke the can and threw it, really perverted...
Speaking of which, Kun Xuefeng also walked in front of Stan, waiting for him to tell everyone the origin of these people.
Stan didn't torture people, just made some confessions, unless the other party's soul power was as strong as Yuan Zhan and the others, it was just a trivial matter for him.
Elder Feng Yu sacrificed the raider he tortured to Fengshen. Don't ask him what method he used to sacrifice, even if Yuan Zhan saw the bloody mass, he didn't want to take a second look.
Well, his family, Yan Mo, was right. Regardless of how these old men look on the surface, each of them is actually more vicious than the other!
Stan got the answer he wanted, and gave the attacker a good time.
The sneak attacker was also one of the people who manipulated those ants. Once this person died, all the few remaining ants became obedient, and they all scattered and hid in the grass.
In order to confirm the authenticity of the confession, he "tortured" the rest of the survivors.
"These people are all from the bug people, but they are not bug people, but witches who have lived in the bug people for a long time." Stein said.
Yuan Zhan, "Insect race? Fire city? It turns out..."
Stan raised his hand, "The main messenger is not necessarily Huocheng and Zerg. One of the men is also their leader. His soul memory tells me that he comes from a force called Tucheng, and now he is a princess named Miaoxiang. men."
"It's her?" Yuan Zhanzhen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that girl to have such courage.
"There must be someone behind her." Yuan Zhan was very sure, and then sneered: "It's really not surprising that the remnants of Tucheng and Huocheng colluded."
"What's interesting is that, except for the leader, the soul memories of other people have nothing to do with Tucheng. So this matter may be the mastermind of Huocheng and Zerg, and the leader took refuge in Huocheng. It may also be that Tucheng's Princess Miaoxiang was the mastermind, or participated in it." Stein analyzed.
Yuan Zhan frowned, he didn't believe Miao Xiang was the mastermind, that girl didn't have such strength nor such ambition and courage.
Stan told them about the opponent's attack plan: the white spiders are highly poisonous and responsible for knocking them unconscious, while the carnivorous ant army is the main force, responsible for gnawing all the unconscious people into bones.
"They thought they could bring you down with this little trick?" Kun Xuefeng felt amused.
"Don't underestimate these bugs." Stan looked flat, "If we hadn't been on guard beforehand, even if we were all high-level fighters, once we were surrounded by these overwhelming poisonous bugs and ant army in our sleep, few of us would be able to escape. indivual."
Kun Xuefeng didn't take it seriously, their Kunpeng tribe was too powerful, so powerful that even if they had inheritance memories, they would only care about some strong people who were as powerful as them, and these tiny bugs were just one of their recipes.
Yuan Zhan followed up with the sword: "Mo said that the ability of divine blood is not omnipotent. Can you still use the ability every day, night, and moment? When we are not using the ability, our energy is sleeping in the body. The physical body is only stronger than ordinary people. Of course, as we consume more energy, our physical body will also be tempered, but these insects are not ordinary poisonous insects."
Stan smiled, "Mo Wu is right, like me, although the soul power is strong, but the body... If I didn't have some high-level bone tools and the insect repellent given by Mo Wu just now, a large number of insects with weak souls would want to eat them. It's not difficult for me alone. It can even be said that a large number of poisonous insects are my natural enemies, and my witchcraft is not very useful to deal with these poisonous insects."
Kun Xuefeng's heart trembled, yes, their Kunpeng tribe is powerful, but they never slept or napped, or were injured or weak? Especially their fledglings are even more immature. There is clearly a period of time when the Zerg dominates in their inheritance memory, so why did he forget it
Kun Xuefeng is not disappointed, no matter whether this journey of courtship is successful or not, it is worthwhile to have today's awakening. There is no problem with the Kunpeng clan's strategy of staying out of the battle of other intelligent races. Because they are powerful, they can stay outside. But if they gradually ignore the potential of other races because of their own strength, then sooner or later the Kunpeng clan will fall from the top .
"Haha, everyone, I didn't underestimate these bugs. Our Kunpeng clan will never underestimate any kind of creature. I just want to ask: Now that we know who the instigator is, what are you going to do?"
At this time, in the ruins of an underground city.
Miao Xiang was walking around anxiously, biting her fingers nervously, and kept asking the mysterious voice in her head: "Do you think they have done it now? Will it succeed? If they are caught, say We sent it, what should Jiuyuan do if he finds us?"
The mysterious voice laughed, "Don't worry, they won't tell us even if they are subjected to terrible torture. Those people are all witches who really live in the Zerg race. The people sent by the human race."
"But the Ant Witch..."
"He won't say that his blood is in our hands, and he wouldn't dare to betray him even if he was killed." The mysterious voice was very determined.
Miao Xiang was still feeling uneasy, and she couldn't help blaming the voice in her head: "What's the benefit of the life energy you mentioned? Why do you have to get it? You don't even hesitate to cooperate with Huocheng and the others?" How to take it out of the human body
The mysterious voice did not explain, "Did I deceive you?"
Miao Xiang shook her head.
"Is there one thing I asked you to do that is not good for you?"
Miao Xiang shook her head again.
The mysterious voice laughed again, "Just remember, we need him. With life energy, we will become stronger. If we can master that silent witch, I can make you the most honorable woman in this world. But unfortunately, with our current ability, there is no way to get him, so I have to choose to cooperate with Huocheng. Only by getting rid of those powerful fighters around him and his guardian, can we have a chance to get him .”
"He is a human being, the priest of Jiuyuan. Even if we can get rid of all the guardians around him, how can you be sure that he will listen to us?"
"Hehe, silly girl, there are many ways to make people obedient in this world. What we have to do now is to cut off his wings and pull out his minions, and then we...we will find a way to get him."
