In this way, the team continued to move forward.
As Ren walked, he teased the barbarian girl, asking her to talk more and collect more materials for the translator of "Zhi Nao".
Not long after, news came from the hunter of the "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" who was leading the way in front of the team.
"Captain, many bodies were found ahead!"
As expected, the team did not stop but continued moving forward.
After walking about a mile, I saw a devastated wild camp beside the mountain road. There was still smoke rising from the bonfire, and corpses were scattered all around.
Obviously, this was another group of people, about fifty people, who encountered the "beast tide" last night.
Looking at the dense bullet holes and artillery craters all around, there was also a fierce battle here last night.
Unfortunately, they were not as lucky as Ren and the others. The beast wave directly destroyed the camp and killed everyone. Judging from the wound, it looks a bit like a tiger or leopard.
"Captain, this seems to be someone from the Tallinn Hunting Group..."
"It's a pity. Captain Galen is a third-level powerhouse. I didn't expect that he would die here."
"They are an old hunting group who have been walking this road for several years. Unexpectedly, they fell into trouble this time."
"Hey, yes, who would have thought that we would encounter a 'tide of beasts'..."
"..."
Although the monsters tore up most of the corpses, the group emblems worn by the members of this wilderness hunting group allowed people to identify them.
As fellow travelers, hunters like Bart were also filled with sadness.
Thinking about it, if Uncle Sam hadn't turned the tide of the battle with his mighty power last night, their ending would have been the same.
There was still a long way to go, so there was no further delay.
They quickly cleaned up the battlefield, piled up the corpses and burned them, so that the corpses were not exposed in the wilderness.
As for the accompanying equipment on the corpse, they also collected it as a reward for collecting the corpse. This is an unwritten rule spread among hunting groups.
... ..
Once you encounter the first destroyed camp, there will be a second one.
Ren and the others were surprised to find that there seemed to be no one alive except them in last night's tide of beasts.
Those beasts seemed to have received some kind of "instruction" to kill all humans. Many high-level monsters came from the depths of the jungle.
This "beast tide" appeared very bizarrely.
At least Bart and other old hunters said they had never heard of such a large-scale animal tide on this road in recent decades.
But in the morning, Aunt Susan went to the forest to pick mushrooms and picked up a savage girl. Renn guessed that this might be related to the savage human race in the "Forest of Ashes".
According to the information obtained before, those savage priests are good at taming and driving away animals.
Thinking like this made Ren even more interested in the hanging savage girl.
But as they walked, they discovered an unusual "death scene."
There are traces of fighting in the forest not far from the roadside. This is not just a battle between extraordinary beings and monsters, but also a life-and-death struggle between humans!
In addition to a few seemingly well-equipped human corpses, Renn also saw a few dark-skinned corpses. They wear animal skin clothes, and the totems drawn on their bodies make it easy to identify them as barbarians.
The corpses of the barbarians were both male and female. Although the male was burly and over two meters tall, his face also looked very childish, about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Seeing this scene, Renn roughly restored the outline of the incident in his mind: a group of barbarian teenagers intercepted and killed a group of well-equipped mysterious extraordinary beings. Because they were not strong enough, they used the "Tide of Beasts" to kill them all.
When she saw the corpses of her companions, the barbarian girl Taotao, who was tied up and hung, burst into tears, her heart breaking.
... ..
At nightfall, the team set up camp again.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, a group of nocturnal guys quietly followed in the forest.
From a distance, they observed Ren and his party in the camp, and their eyes fell on the tightly trapped savage.
The leader of the aliens wore a gas mask with a bear face, and behind him were a group of men in black leather wearing various animal masks.
At this time, a man in a fox mask said: "Sir, package number S11-7 was lost by the postman. Now these people are the only survivors we found on this road. The living savage has the traces of our The mark left by the package, she should know the whereabouts of the things..."
Listening, the bear-masked leader was a little confused: "Since you know, why don't you do anything and still have to call me?"
The fox masked man had a strange tone and said: "Well...the mercenaries of the 'Mountain Antelope Hunting Group' are nothing to be afraid of. But there are some very troublesome people in this team."
"Troublesome people? With the few of you here, even the fourth-level [Demon Hunter Master] can be killed. What are the worries about dealing with a small hunting group..."
Before Bear Mask could say anything, he saw Aunt Susan who was making soup by the campfire, and his eyes froze.
He vaguely felt that he looked familiar, and suddenly asked: "That fat woman who makes soup... Why does she look a bit like Susan Catalan, the most wanted criminal in the Sid Empire, with a bounty of 99 million liso?" ?”
"That's the one."
Fox Mask sounded a little embarrassed and nodded.
As he said that, he pointed to the other side of the bonfire: "Sir, look at the shield knight resting under the tree over there..."
"The first Holy Shield Knight of Vasakto Province, [Dragonlance] Sam Aurora?"
At this time, the face of the leader under the bear mask suddenly brightened and darkened, changing beautifully.
Then, he also saw the housekeeper Benjamin and the maid Sandora, which are several famous figures in the A-level files of "Blackwater Terrace".
His face darkened instantly.
Fox Mask didn't seem to notice the leader's expression, and explained: "It is precisely because of these troublesome existences..."
The bear leader took over his words and his eyelids twitched: "So... is this why you communicated to ask me to help?"
After pondering for a moment, he felt angry again and shouted softly: "You are planning to let me come here because you want to have a tough fight with the four major worshipers of the 'Black Gold Merchant Guild'?"
This is probably what the fox mask means, and he said weakly: "If the thing is lost, we can't find it, and it will be a dead end."
Xiong Xiong almost went berserk: "That's your business!"
The fox's tone was a little stiff and he said: "But you are near the 'Glory City' and have the highest combat power among our special offerings at Blackwater Tower..."
"The four major worshipers of the 'Black Gold Merchant Guild' are all here. Why on earth are you telling me that you want to take action? Do you think I am the 'Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters'?"
The leader of the bear mask said in a bad tone: "At best, I am your Omar's special offering, at worst, I am a non-staff person who gets paid to do things. Why do you ask me to do this to death?!"
Fox: "Then... what should we do now? Things are lost, and the superiors asked us to contact you to make a decision..."
"What else can we do? Follow first and then take action when we have the chance."
Gou Xiong: "Contact your headquarters and ask them to send more experts! Humph, a group of idiots were intercepted by a group of savages. They deserve to lose their things!"
"..."
... .
On the other hand, the Imperial Capital of the Omar Empire,
In the splendid palace, the charming Queen was sweating profusely under the pink bed tent.
The man she was romantically involved with was not the emperor, but a young man with red lips and white teeth.
If there is a third person here, he will definitely recognize this man as the popular figure around the queen, Lemens F. Metternich, who is known as the "genius staff".
That's right, this guy cuckolded the Emperor of the Omar Empire, Doppler Spuglin.
After the clouds and rain, the delicate Queen nestled in the young man's arms.
"Didn't you say that Ymir is dead? But now she is alive and kicking again... "
"It doesn't matter whether she is dead or not now. The commander of the First Army, Baron Askpa, has defected, and our eldest princess no longer has any leverage to challenge the parliament."
"But... even if he loses military power, as long as she is still alive, Doppler will still pass the throne to her. There are many members of the court who support the old guy. If the time comes, we really want to forcefully pass the throne to Ymir. It will be difficult to fight anymore..."
"So, we can't let His Majesty pass the position to her..."
"You want to kill her? How is that possible! Ymir was assassinated once before, and now he is alert. It is impossible to kill her again."
"My beautiful Queen, do you think that the eldest princess can still inherit the throne if she is charged with 'regicide coup'?"
"You...you want to kill the king?"
"It's not me, it's you. If it weren't for you, His Majesty would have lived for a few more decades no matter what. Now, whether His Majesty or the eldest princess is on the throne, as long as they complete the 'reform', these old school The power of the nobles will be gone. When the time comes, Her Majesty the Queen, your family, and His Highness Quentin, may still be liquidated by the eldest princess... "
"But... "
"I heard that after Her Royal Highness the Princess reappeared, she has been in frequent contact with those 'reformist' elders recently. You know that person's courage and skill..."
"..."
When the queen heard this, after a brief moment of hesitation, a hint of cruelty and determination flashed in her eyes.
