But so far, this is just bloody speculation. And if he guessed right, it would be even more troublesome. No matter the crystal spider or the assassin, they were both legion-level behemoths, and they couldn't be eaten by the current Qianye.
But from another perspective, since Cui Yuanhai's ability in gun manufacturing has been exposed, there is no need to worry about his safety. No matter which force, as long as it is not crazy, it will not kill such a master.
Seeing that Xueyi didn't know any more news, Qianye could only sigh and wait for the opportunity in the future to look for Cui Yuanhai.
At this time, Xue Yi said: "There is another alien creature, take it out and have a look, maybe I have seen it before."
Qianye took out a pair of transparent shrimp shells from his backpack, put them on the table, and asked, "Have you seen this?"
This is the armor on the big lobster that little Zhuji caught back then. Qianye had asked a few people in the small town before, but neither the traveling mercenaries nor the transiting merchants could recognize what it was, and had never even heard of it.
However, when he saw the shrimp shell armor, Xue Yi's face changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost, and even his voice trembled: "This is... the Nightmare Legion!?"
It was a term Qianye had never heard of before, but judging from Xue Yi's attitude, he knew that this Nightmare Legion was definitely not comparable to crystal spiders or assassins.
Xue Yi's hands trembled, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and picked up the carapace to examine it carefully. After looking at it carefully, his face was pale, and he murmured: "That's right, it's the Nightmare Armor, it's the Nightmare Armor."
Qianye waited quietly, and after a while, Xue Yi gradually calmed down. He put the transparent carapace back on the table and said, "Where did this thing come from, can you tell me?"
"Occasionally. But what is the Nightmare Legion?"
Xueyi collected himself and said, "The Nightmare Legion is a symbol of disaster and the beginning of destruction..."
After a long paragraph of words like a prophecy of natural disasters, Xue Yi said everything he knew.
In the neutral land, not only the battles between Yongye and the outsiders of the empire, but also the war between the outsiders and the aborigines continued continuously. In the long history, the Nightmare Legion has appeared twice, both on the battlefields of outsiders and aborigines. At that time, thousands of strange creatures suddenly appeared out of thin air, and there were many species that had never been seen in the neutral land. Even if it is similar to the existing species, it looks like it has been distorted by invisible hands, which is indescribably weird. But there are so many of these creatures, they surged out of the void like a sea tide, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant, and even the most elite legion could not stop their impact and were instantly submerged.
After they left, there was no breath of life left on the battlefield. The more than 100,000 troops of the two sides that participated in the war were all turned into corpses, and even their souls were completely dissipated.
No one knows how the Nightmare Legion came to be, nor how they left. On the dead and silent battlefield, the only traces they left were some strange broken armor.
After the Nightmare Legion disappeared, a strong man who was good at deriving secrets exhausted his life, and finally saw some broken pictures of the war, and then discovered the existence of the Nightmare Legion. Because the scene is like a nightmare, they are called the Nightmare Legion.
The appearance of the Nightmare Legion had an impact on the neutral land like a natural disaster. During the two wars, both the outsiders and the aborigines assembled the most elite legions, as well as a large number of strong men, but they were all destroyed by the waves of the Nightmare Legion.
Although he came to the neutral land not long ago, Qianye also knew that this land was full of dangers. Every strong man is the cornerstone of expanding the territory and the wings of the weak commoners. For example, the small town where Qianye first set foot, without the strength of a general like Iron Bear, would not be able to deal with the ferocious beasts wandering in the wilderness, and the natural disasters that would happen at any time.
In the neutral land, a general means a new town and a new home.
The two appearances of the Nightmare Legion in history dealt a particularly heavy blow to outsiders, almost causing them to lose three-quarters of their territory. It is unknown how many ordinary people died under the unstoppable beasts and natural disasters. Countless fringes were abandoned, and the people who lived there moved to the core. But without the protection of strong enough people, this migration road is completely paved with flesh and blood. Among the first hundred people who set out, only a few people finally reached the core area.
On this road of weeping blood, suffering knows no race. Regardless of human race, blood race, werewolf or nerubian, they are all victims of the same. Werewolves and nerubians were born with strong bodies, so they originally had a higher chance of survival, but the fierce beasts in the neutral land liked this kind of naturally strong prey the most. In contrast, the weak human race did not attract the attention of fierce beasts.
After telling the history of the Nightmare Legion, Xueyi couldn't calm down. He poured himself a large glass of strong wine and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he feel better.
"As you said, the last time the Nightmare Legion appeared was hundreds of years ago. How do you know this is the armor of the Nightmare Legion?" Qianye expressed his doubts.
Xue Yi sighed, and said: "When the Nightmare Legion appeared for the second time, my ancestor was on the battlefield. Now in the ancestral house, there is a fragment of the Nightmare Legion's battle armor. It is a piece left on the ancestor's corpse Fragments."
Hearing this, Qianye's eyes fell on the transparent carapace on the table, and fell into deep thought. If the Nightmare Legion was really so terrifying, then that lobster would be taken down by Zhu Ji, and then easily killed
Xue Yi cheered up and said, "Can you sell this carapace to me?"
"What's the use of it?" From Qianye's point of view, apart from the special material and very thinness of this carapace, there is not much outstanding about it, and its defensive power can only be said to be average. So Qianye didn't take it seriously all the time, and didn't pay much attention to the lobster warrior who only had wisdom. He just regarded it as a strange creature.
"The armor of ordinary soldiers of the Nightmare Legion is useless in itself. However, its appearance may herald new disasters. I have an elder who is good at deducing secrets. I am going to show him to see if this heralds anything."
Qianye nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'll give it to you." Qianye didn't want to get involved with things related to inexplicable natural disasters.
Xue Yi took out three black crystals, returned them to Qianye, and said, "If that's the case, then the previous information will be given away for free."
Qianye didn't refuse, accepted Hei Jing, and left the tavern with Yetong.
After returning to the hotel, Yetong asked, "What shall we do now?"
"Let's stay here first. According to Bloody, the crystal spider and the assassin will be here soon. If the old man really falls into their hands, he will definitely come here as a craftsman accompanying the army. We will see the situation then and think of a way." save him."
Yetong didn't have anything better to do, so he nodded.
Qianye sighed and fled to a neutral place. Originally, he wanted to live peacefully with Yetong until the end of his life. But unexpectedly, instead of being a paradise, this place is more cruel and realistic, and the living environment is even worse.
"There won't be any trouble over there, right?" Yetong was a little worried.
"This person is indeed not simple, but he is a smart person. Before we find out our details, he should not do anything that should not be done."
On the second day, Qianye discovered that the atmosphere in Lingang City was quietly becoming tense. There were many more members of the law enforcement team patrolling the streets than before, and the city guards were constantly being mobilized, and there were people stationed at some important intersections. .
At the end of a street in front of the window, there was a commotion suddenly. A group of mercenaries drove towards this side in two trucks. The truck was battered, covered with bullet holes and claw marks, and it was a miracle that it managed to move. Most of the mercenaries on the truck were covered in blood, and there were still a few people lying in the truck, motionless, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
They didn't stop, and the truck kept heading towards the City Lord's Mansion. The city guards wanted to intercept them, but one person in the car showed some token, and they went all the way unimpeded.
Where this group of mercenaries passed by, it immediately caused quite a commotion. From people's discussions, Qianye knew that this mercenary group was quite famous in this area. They used to have hundreds of elite fighters, but now there are no more than thirty people on the two trucks. Moreover, in Qianye's field of vision, there was only one general on board, and he was just at the advanced level, and their twelfth-level regiment leader was missing.
Judging from this, the mercenary group has been completely disabled.
It didn't take long for some hunters and adventurers to rush into Lingang City as if they were fleeing. They were all wounded, and some even let out their breath as soon as they entered the city gate. They fell down and couldn't get up again. As if it had started, adventurers and mercenary hunters returned to the city one after another, all covered in blood.
This is not a common sight. When Qianye frowned slightly, the shrill siren finally sounded, echoing over the entire Lingang City.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and someone said, "Is Mr. Zhao there? The city lord is here!"
Startled, Qianye opened the door, and saw a tall and thin man standing outside, with an indescribably sharp aura. Behind him, several people followed.
The tall and thin man looked Qianye up and down with his eyes like a sword, and said: "Mr. Zhao, the city lord is very happy to hear that you have a great talent, and would like to invite you to the city lord's mansion to have a talk."
"Is it City Lord Su?"
"Exactly. If it's convenient for Mr. Zhao, then let me go. The city is full of changes, so I'm afraid it won't be convenient if you wait for a long time." The tall and thin man had a faint arrogance, and there was a trace of hostility in his eyes looking at Qianye.
Qianye knew that the lord of Lingang City was surnamed Su, and that he was able to maintain independence from the Wolf King, Spider Emperor, and Moonlight White Devil not only by relying on political skills, but also by his personal strength. It is said that his cultivation base of the original force has crossed the barrier of the gods, so he was able to deal with the three major forces.
How could such a prominent figure in the East China Sea suddenly pay attention to Qianye who changed his name and surname
Qianye thought for a while, then said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
