Chapter 380: Creepers in the dark

Views:

Qianye's heart moved slightly, there is indeed a mystery in the method of werewolves offering sacrifices to their ancestors. However, what is really valuable is the dark force seeping from the cave wall. No wonder those vampires chose to set up the force array here.

Qianye didn't stay where he was, and continued to walk deeper. It was originally a natural cave, winding all the way down, and it went deep into the mountainside before reaching the end. The werewolf repaired the five-story stone hall as the cemetery of the ancestors, only occupying a small branch of it, and the passageway to enter kept the original appearance.

The deeper you go, the stronger that feeling becomes. Now Qianye can clearly feel that his blood energy and original force are resonating with something in the dark. It seems that there is indeed a secret hidden under this land.

Qianye turned to the old patriarch and asked, "Are there any special products in this area? For example, ores and the like."

The old patriarch shook his head and said: "There is nothing particularly valuable. In terms of production, the glands of the elk in the forest and the backbone of the white fish in the lake not far away can be used as media materials for the force, perhaps the most valuable. Oh, there are some wild medicinal herbs on the hills, but they are not particularly rare."

"Then why did Fengya choose this place to settle down?"

A werewolf elder next to him sighed and replied, "Because this land is so barren that no one wants it, we gave it to Fengya. Compared with those tribes in the core territory of Earl Stuka, we are not only outsiders , is also a latecomer.”

Qianye nodded. Without enough power, one would have no right to speak. There is nothing wrong with this method of profit distribution. He said: "When the situation stabilizes, I can change a place for you."

"Where to change?" The werewolf elder immediately became alert.

The old patriarch smiled wryly, "No matter where we change, it won't be worse than here."

The elder werewolf thought about it, so he didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Qianye has already confirmed that there is an anomaly in Qingfeng Mountain. He is not familiar with prospecting ore veins, and he has no idea of tracing the source by himself. Now, he scanned the surrounding environment again, keeping the situation of the original force in mind, and greeted the wolf. People return to the ground.

"I'm leaving first. When the situation outside stabilizes, I will send someone over to take you to the new territory. During this period of time, it is best for the people of the tribe not to go out, so as not to conflict with my soldiers."

The old patriarch agreed, and Qianye didn't stay any longer. The return journey was much faster than when they came, and the mountain crocodiles remained in the original area for the time being, with no obvious signs of outward expansion. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Qianye quickly bypassed the pass and returned directly to the Darkfire camp.

Not long after he arrived, the guards came to report that there was a woman outside the camp who asked to meet Qianye by name, claiming to be the emissary of the Viscount.

"Woman?" Qianye was not surprised that Brudo made a decision within the stipulated time, but he did not expect that this conservative werewolf would actually send a female messenger.

He walked into the guest tent, and sure enough, he saw a woman sitting on a chair with her back straight, her hands slightly crossed on her knees, waiting quietly. She couldn't say how beautiful she was, but her eyebrows and eyes were very delicate, and her pale face revealed a little sickly weakness.

The woman turned her head when she heard the footsteps, then stood up, made an imperial greeting, and said, "You are Lord Qianye, right? On behalf of Viscount Brudo, I am here to discuss the matter of surrender."

Qianye walked to the main seat, raised his hand to signal for her to sit down too, did not speak immediately, but looked the woman up and down. Under his real vision, she revealed many secrets.

This woman is indeed a human being, an out-and-out human being, at least Qianye can't see anything abnormal about her blood. But what circulated in her body was all the force of darkness, and there was no force of dawn.

This is a bit interesting. With this woman, the basic rules of the original force controlled by the two camps of Liming and Yongye are almost overturned.

Humans are born dawn creatures, and compared with other races, they can be regarded as inclusive. Some people will have dark elements after they are promoted or their talents are awakened, and some people will practice the dark force in order to pursue more powerful power.

However, this is a minority after all, and many of them will inevitably be eroded by darkness in the end, and their bodies will mutate. But this woman's body is completely filled with dark force, but she can maintain her human appearance, and even Qianye's real vision can't see anything abnormal.

"Brudo will send a human as his messenger, which is indeed surprising."

The woman said lightly, "It's not a surprise, is it? Besides, if I'm not a human being, how could I meet you so smoothly? The front line of defense is not easy."

"Brudo should be more traditional among werewolves. Why would he believe you?"

"This is a secret, please allow me to keep it for a while."

Qianye shook his head, "No, this is related to whether I should trust you, whether I trust you can really represent Brudo. If you refuse to say it, then go back and let him come and explain in person."

The woman's face turned cold, "Lord Qianye, are you determined to fight the Viscount? We still have thousands of brave fighters!"

"I even beat the earl away, and I still care about a viscount? In fact, I am willing to sit down and talk because personally, I appreciate the straight-forward style of werewolves, so if your purpose of sitting here is to plan to If you rely on unnecessary words to gain more benefits, you can leave now."

Qianye's voice was neither high nor low, but it was unquestionably tough.

The woman's expression froze for a moment, then she softened her voice, with a slightly resentful look on her face, "Master Qianye, I really don't know how to be sympathetic."

"You're not that pretty yet."

The woman was stunned, and then smiled wryly: "You... are really... straightforward and merciless."

"People like affection are given more to others, but less to myself. So my affection has always been only given to those close to me." Qianye's tone was even colder, "You have already wasted a lot of my time, and you will come That's it." After that, he was ready to stand up.

The woman sighed and said, "Well, the bottom line for Viscount Brudo is to maintain the same rights and status under Count Stuka. If you can promise this, then he will surrender, otherwise he would rather fight to the end. "

Qianye said coldly: "There is no problem with this. This is the condition I gave him at the time. However, if you go back and bring a message, I hope the Viscount will also know that even if the bloody battle ends, the losses caused to me are within an acceptable range. But he and all werewolves will die, so stop threatening me with war!"

The woman shivered involuntarily, the murderous aura overflowing from Qianye's body was as real as it was, and she even felt a little pain in her skin.

She forced a smile, "Then this is considered a deal. There is also a small request. Externally, Viscount Brudo needs nominal independence, otherwise it will be difficult to convince some people in the territory."

Qianye nodded and said, "Yes. But his territory will be changed."

"Change territory?" The woman was startled, watching Qianye warily.

"His current territory is too close to the border. I will find him a piece of land near the earldom for all werewolf tribes to live in. You know, the east will be officially included in the human-controlled area in the future. If there are werewolves living openly, I will be in the empire. There might be trouble over there, too."

The woman thought about it, and then said: "I understand. I will try my best to convince Brudo that as long as the new territory is not too bad, there should be no problem." At this point, she laughed at herself and said: "However, when it comes to property, It’s hard to find a worse area in this county.”

Qianye was a little strange, "Why? I heard that Brudo challenged Stuka. Although he lost, he should be able to fight for a territory with more resources. To be honest, Brudo is still stronger than the other two viscounts. A lot of."

"Isn't it because of the ancient tradition of werewolves?" There was a touch of sarcasm in the woman's tone, "Most of the werewolves in this land believe in ancient traditions, that is to say, they believe that only physical strength is their real strength. Equipment and even the force array are things that cowards will use. It is conceivable that they have no needs at all, and they don’t feel that they lack anything. As long as there is a forest to supply herbs and meat, and a river with fish for a change, That’s enough. Resources like minerals are meaningless to them.”

Qianye suddenly realized, and then felt some indescribable feelings.

The woman stood up and said, "If Master Qianye has no other orders, I will reply to the Viscount and ask him to arrange matters on the territory as soon as possible and prepare for the relocation."

Qianye stopped the woman who was about to leave.

The woman turned her head and saw the black muzzles of a pair of exquisite short spears aimed at her. She couldn't help being startled, and then said, "Master Qianye, why bother? Just say what you want, as long as you can achieve it." , I... will obey." Speaking of this, the corners of her eyes and brows suddenly revealed an indescribable charm.

Qianye's eyes didn't fluctuate at all, "I don't need to obey, I'm just suddenly curious about your origin. Maybe you should introduce yourself well, otherwise I will think that you may be more valuable than Viscount Brudo. Then I don't mind giving up The surrender of these werewolves brought you back to the Empire, where there are many experts who are good at letting people pour out their secrets."

The light in the woman's eyes flickered away, seeing the lines of force gradually lighting up on the twin flowers, she finally relaxed her body that was ready to go with a wry smile.

She spread her hands by her side and made a harmless gesture, "I am confident in escaping from the Viscount, but I have lost my fighting spirit when facing you who are not yet a warrior. Well, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Ruoyu, I come from the Sky Wing Continent, and I belong to the Creepers in the Darkness. This is a huge organization beyond your imagination, and I am just an ordinary member of it, very ordinary."

"The creeper in the dark? It's an interesting name." Qianye's face was still expressionless, but his heart was full of turmoil. He has never heard of such an organization, but the Sky Wing Continent is one of the middle continents. It has always been a dark country, and humans rarely set foot on it.
