In the dense forest, two figures walked one after the other among the trees.
They wear chameleon-like clothing that changes color patterns with the environment, allowing them to blend in almost perfectly with their surroundings.
Although in human form, their heads and hands are covered with fine brown-green scales, shaped like some kind of reptile.
Xu Fengqing frowned and used the system to check the information of the two.
[? ? ?]
Level: Unfathomable.
The same is true for both of them, the level difference is too great, and nothing can be detected.
They are definitely not human, are they also rare races? However, why did Asai show such deep hostility to them
Xu Fengqing watched them calmly.
Seeing these two approaching all the way, he suddenly felt that the person beside him was holding his hand.
Xu Fengqing turned her eyes to meet Xenos's eyes.
The silver-haired man's eyes were not only cold, but also solemn, Xu Fengqing understood what he meant after a little thought.
Without waiting for Xenos to warn him, he has quietly opened a shadow barrier—he fell asleep late at night last night, and without his magical blessing, the skill effect would disappear.
After the shadows completely shrouded the two of them, he put the quilt covering him into his backpack and clenched the dagger.
It all happens in silence.
After Xu Fengqing had done all this, one of the two people who were approaching this side stopped and spoke.
It was an unfamiliar language, but Xu Fengqing had a systematic real-time translation function, so he could understand it.
"Coles, wait."
The person walking behind suddenly stopped, and he listened carefully, with alertness in his movements and expressions.
"Eller, what's the matter?" Coles looked at his companion and saw that his face was different, so he quickly learned to observe the movements around him, but found that he found nothing.
Eller shook his head slowly, but the yellow-brown beast pupils were still turning rapidly. He didn't find anything wrong, but when his strength reached a certain level, his intuition would become more and more sensitive.
When passing here, he vaguely felt something was wrong.
It's not a sense of crisis, but a feeling... as if being stared at.
"Are you too nervous?"
Coles glanced around for a week and determined that there were only star beasts below three stars in the vicinity, then shook his head and said.
They all already have strength close to five stars, and the interstellar beasts in this area cannot pose a threat to them.
Seeing that his companion didn't answer, Coles looked into the distance and said, "I don't know what's going on recently. The interstellar beasts have changed frequently, and there was a small beast tide last night."
"You said... Did something happen on Roland's side?"
Bewat's nails in Roland have been pulled out in the past six months, and they have not received any more information from their side, as if they are blind.
In order to avoid alarming the snakes, they didn't find any new dark piles.
Eller was looking up at the big tree where Xu Fengqing and the others were. However, with its luxuriant branches, he could only see the thick shadows, and did not see anything else.
He had to look away and said, "I don't know, just look at it and see."
Coles nodded and laughed twice.
"Let's go, finish the work as soon as possible and go back. When the layout here is over, I have to go to the next place. I'm really looking forward to being like four years ago... hehe..."
The calm-faced Lizardman glanced at him, without refuting, he lifted his foot and continued to walk forward.
After the two lizardmen left, Xu Fengqing heaved a sigh of relief.
They can walk unscrupulously in the jungle, and they are obviously fearless, and they are probably stronger than Asai in terms of strength.
If possible, he naturally does not want to face these two NPCs, because no matter how they see it, they are both enemies and not friends, and Asai's expression also shows this very well.
Xenos bit his lower lip firmly. He couldn't speak the Bewaite star language, but he would listen. The words of the two Bewaite stars were all heard by him.
Why are the Bewaites appearing on Aixue
Has Ai Xuexing's security channel been cracked? Or has the imperial city fallen? and…
They just talked about it four years ago.
Did the beast tide four years ago have anything to do with the Bewat people? Is this their handwriting
"Assai?"
The man called him in a low voice, regaining Xenos's sanity, and then he felt the tingling pain and a trace of blood from his lower lip - he bit his lip too hard and bit his lip.
Xenos wiped it casually, and the wound on his lips was quickly repaired by the water healing technique.
Then, he looked at Xu Fengqing and said uncontrollably: "Feng Qing, I know you don't want to have any interaction with me, you don't want to know my identity, and you don't want to talk about your own affairs."
"But now, I still wish you could tell me, are you... from Roland?"
Otherwise, why would you speak such pure Roland German
Xu Fengqing looked at his serious expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I belong to the Roland camp."
He can open Roland's camp warehouse, so this rare race number also belongs to Roland's camp.
Xenos knew that because the entire Aishue was identified as the territory of Roland, all the creatures on Aishel were considered to be the Roland Empire in the interstellar space.
He wasn't sure if Feng Qing was talking about this concept.
but…
At least this ancient beast recognized Roland.
Thinking of this, Xenos frowned slightly, and he asked again, "Have you been to Roland Imperial City recently? In these four years?"
He eagerly wanted to know the situation in his home country, and wondered if Roland had been occupied by those hateful Bewaites...
Xu Fengqing looked at his nervous appearance, thought for a while and said, "Although I haven't been there, I probably know a little bit about the situation."
He briefly stated what he had learned. For example, Roland has only five main cities left, for example, there are guardian circles, and Roland's main city is not afraid of the threat of interstellar beasts.
Xenos listened to his description quietly. He had already heard Xiao Wu say this, and now he can finally be sure that Xiao Wu said everything is true.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, Roland has not been completely destroyed, they still have hope!
It's just how the Bewaite people came to Aixuexing? What are they planning behind the scenes
Xenos pondered, frowning deeply.
He originally wanted to return to Xilin's side as soon as possible, but suddenly became less anxious.
He couldn't just sit back and watch, intuition told him that these lizardmen were planning a bigger conspiracy!
But…
Xenos lowered his head and looked at his mutilated body. He couldn't do anything right now. Could it be that Feng Qing could help him? No, that can't be done, he can't take such a big risk.
Thinking of this, Xenos couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"What are you worrying about?" Xu Fengqing frowned, "Those two humanoid creatures... you know them?"
"They are the Bewaites."
Xenos said affirmatively, "Since a long time ago, they have coveted the land of Roland and are our enemies."
"Because of Ai Xuexing's special environment, they have been unable to enter Roland to implement their aggression plan, and now they have appeared here..."
Xu Fengqing understood what he was worried about, and vaguely remembered that there was indeed an introduction to Roland's hostile forces in the information given to him by the game team.
Although he forgot when the hostile faction was originally scheduled to appear, it was absolutely impossible to appear at this point in the first week of the open beta.
At most, it's just that the traitorous NPCs of humans begin to contact the players, lure them to join the hostile camp, and then gradually reveal the true face and related gameplay of the hostile camp as the plot develops.
Just then, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding ~ Successfully triggered the legendary mission [The Conspiracy of the Bewat Stars]]
[Description: You found the traces of the Bewaites far away from the original border of Roland, and they seem to be planning something]
[Task content: Find out the reason for the appearance of the Bewaite star in the Roland Empire, and the plan of the Bewaite star]
[Quest Reward: Unknown]
Seeing this mission reminder, Xu Fengqing sighed deeply in his heart.
He has already understood, there is no doubt that this story is triggered in advance because his account is too far from the city where the novice was born.
No player would go deep into such a remote jungle, the original border line of Roland... that was at least tens of thousands of miles away from the Imperial City of Roland!
And this is obviously unreasonable.
Xu Fengqing always believed that he was the game publisher, not the player, so his behavior in the game was extremely restrained.
He has been trying to avoid the impact on the game as much as possible, although, saving Xenos, this behavior itself may be the biggest impact.
So now, it is impossible for him to complete this legendary mission. The trigger and completion of this plot should be the player, not him.
Thinking of this, Xu Fengqing closed the task interface.
He looked at Xenos and said, "Let's continue to find your companion."
Xenos looked at the direction where the two lizardmen left with some confusion.
He is still a little reluctant to give up such clues, although he also understands that if he can't pass the information out, even if he finds out the truth, it will be useless...
At this moment, Xenos suddenly shrank his pupils.
As soon as Xu Fengqing was about to speak, he felt a huge force coming from his chest - he watched Xenos stretch out his left hand and push him down the tree trunk.
Because the belt connecting the two was pulled, when he fell, Xenos also fell with him.
Xu Fengqing took advantage of the situation and hugged him. As soon as he looked up, he saw that where they had just stayed, a small hole was silently sunk, like being hit by a bullet.
Then, under his gaze, the small hole spread around, corroding the bark, exposing the underlying fibrous tissue, and there is a tendency to continue to corrode!
"It was actually hidden."
Xu Fengqing fell from the air, rolled on the ground with Xenos in his arms, and when he got up again, he saw the two lizardmen who had left and returned standing not far from them.
One of them, Coles, was holding a high-tech gun in his hand, and it was obvious that he had just fired the gun.
"Eller, you are too smart, how do you know there is someone in the tree?" The lizardman asked his companion, playing with the weapon in his hand.
Eller kicked the nutshell on the ground.
Xu Fengqing could tell at a glance that it was thrown down after they finished eating on the tree last night!
