Chapter 27 Hiding
Smoke was lingering in the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold. Zhang Tie and Krell carried the beast master's body back to a hanging platform in the airship take-off and landing area in the middle of the stronghold, and tied the body to a wooden stake on the hanging platform with a rope. superior.
"Is this useful?" Zhang Tie asked in a dispensable mood looking at the line of handwriting that Krell left with blood next to the corpse.
"Eskil City is not too far away from here. If something happens to this stronghold, whether it is the business firm of Eskil City or the managers in the city, they will soon send people here to understand the situation, and it is enough to give them a little warning. Good!" Krell said while leaving the logo of the Guardian God sect under that line of writing. For the Guardian God sect, this kind of behavior of artificially driving the beast tide to destroy the laws of nature is the most lethal Absolutely disgusted, especially, the Guardian God Sect also suspects that this has something to do with the demons.
Since the air routes on the Weiyi subcontinent were attacked by many aerial raptors last year, the Guardian God sect has sent people to investigate such incidents, and the results of the investigation all point to a mysterious group of beast masters. During this year, with the efforts of many parties, some of the beast masters of that mysterious group were killed like today, some managed to escape and disappeared, and some changed places and made trouble again, but there was never any change. Catch one alive. So no one knows what the real situation is like, but just based on these people's deeds that harm others and benefit themselves, if they are said to be lackeys and bastards of the Demon Race, no one will doubt it.
When Zhang Tie heard the word "three-eyed meeting" from Krell's mouth again, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The hands of these lackeys of the Demon Race from the Three-Eyed Society stretched too far. It is all-pervasive. From Huaiyuan County to Tianhan City, and then to the ice and snow wasteland, their shadows seemed to be everywhere. When the holy war was about to come, the activities of these people became more and more frequent.
In fact, Zhang Tie didn't care about the origins and backgrounds of these people. To Zhang Tie, these people were just trash anyway. Not a good person, just kill it, nothing special. It's just that today's battle made Zhang Tie feel the importance of personal strength again. As the world becomes more and more chaotic, the level of a person's strength depends on more and more times. It becomes the dividing line between life and death.
Just like today, if the guy I met today is not level ten, but a powerful fighter who is proficient in sound attack at level eleven, then I may die under the first sound attack of this guy. , if your own strength is stronger. Then there is no need to take the risk of that kind of close combat, as long as he throws the flying spear, the battle will be over. Sometimes life and death are such simple things.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tie felt that today's battle between him and Krell was a bit of a fluke.
"By the way, where are you going next?" Zhang Tie asked Claire.
"There is still a swarm of rats in the northern part of the ice and snow wasteland. I plan to continue going north. What about you?"
The Devil Mouse Qiliguo has already eaten nine of them,
No matter how many Demon Rats are killed later, it will be useless. Hearing that Krell was going to the north, Zhang Tie thought about it carefully, "I'm going to try my luck in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland!"
"The relic and the star of God?" Krell laughed.
Zhang Tie also smiled and did not explain. Since Krell already believed that he was an elite child from a large family in the Norman Empire, there was no need to explain too much. In the southern part of the wasteland, it is estimated that it is very lively now, but as far as I know, besides the ruins and the Star of God, there is another thing that I am most interested in in the vast wasteland where the cracks in the Hydra Glacier are located - the giant wasteland. Wolf.
"I heard that some places in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland are also erupting with beast hordes of wasteland giant wolves. Why don't you go and have a look?"
"Where have I been? The giant wolves in the wilderness there are naturally formed, and there is no trace of man-made manipulation. The guardians of the wilderness will not interfere with such a beast tide. Nature has its own solution!"
Zhang Tie shrugged his shoulders. It seemed that the two of them were about to part ways, "Then you should be more careful, and don't be shy if you run into an expert!"
"Haha, it's not as dangerous as you said. The Ice and Snow Wasteland is the territory of the Bear Clan, and the Bear Clan has the strongest territorial concept. Others can do whatever they want on their territory. If someone is manipulating the Demon Rat's beast tide, maybe before I reach the north, if that guy is not a little smarter, he will have been found out and killed by the experts here! "Krell said.
"Then why doesn't anyone seem to care about the beast tide here in the gray hills?" Zhang Tie said with some doubts. To be honest, his understanding of the ice and snow wasteland is indeed not deep. Previously, his knowledge here was limited to some books, but After coming here, he focused on the Qiliguo again, and he didn't have the time and energy to care about things that had nothing to do with him.
Krell smiled, "It's close to Esquier City, and it's the territory of the Iron Bear Clan. I heard that many strong men and priests of the Iron Bear Clan went to Mount Erqida for pilgrimage a few days ago. Come back, and perhaps in the eyes of the ruler of the iron bear clan, the horde of iron-toothed hyenas in this gray hill just caused a little loss to a few trading houses and a few small villages in the wild, which is not enough In order to attract their attention, at this time, they may pay more attention to the remains of the cracks in the Hydra Glacier and the Star of God. Even if there are problems here, in the eyes of those people, the big deal is that a few beast masters It’s just a little bit of damage to the ice and snow wasteland, and it won’t cause much trouble! Those trading houses will solve this matter themselves.”
Zhang Tie knows that what Krell said is true, this is the difference between a big man and a small man, a big thing in the eyes of a small man may be a fart in the eyes of a big man, just like a few gold coins in the eyes of the poor are in the eyes of those nouveau riche are not equal in value.
Both of them are straightforward people, after deciding where they want to go. The two of them separated at Maple Leaf Castle stronghold without even saying a word about parting. Just like some travelers in the same train carriage get off at the same station.
Zhang Tie watched Krell leave, and after walking ten steps, Krell turned his head, "I forgot to tell you, if one day you really find a dog that can gnaw the bone of a holy beast and want to take that piece If the bones want to go back, you can come to me. You can go to a church of the Guardian God presided over by a priest and tell him to find me. The priest will ask you what is my personal emblem in the Guardian God sect. You Tell him my sigil is the locust."
Zhang Tie nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, you haven't mentioned what the bone of the holy beast is!"
"Ha... ha... you'll know when you officially become a beast master!" Krell actually sold out.
"Maybe when I see you next time, my beast control technique has already surpassed yours. I feel that I am very talented in learning this. I just practiced the secret prayers you taught me for one night. It seems that you can already control a low-level pet!" Zhang Tie said half-truthfully, and it was also a foreshadowing in advance.
"Impossible. When I saw you for the first time, I knew that you had never used animal control before, nor had any pets. People of your age only come to learn animal control now. Even if you have the natural Xin, it is already a bit late in time, it is difficult to reach the highest level of beast control!"
"Maybe I'm an exception!"
"Unless you are the baby nephew of Ga Ya, the mother of the earth, or the reincarnation of the legendary beast god!" Krell laughed and waved to Zhang Tie. Without waiting for Zhang Tie to say anything, he left gracefully.
Zhang Tie stood on the hillside. After watching Krell and the giant black eagle flying in the sky completely disappear and talking about the mountains, a smile appeared on his face, he shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "You still say Missed a possibility!"
Zhang Tie turned around, and after identifying the direction, he ran towards the southwest.
...
Zhang Tie knew that after he and Krell left, people from Eskiel City would definitely come here to investigate the situation, but what Zhang Tie never expected was that the people from Eskiel City would come so quickly. Two hours later, people from Eskil City arrived.
The people from Eskiel City are not ordinary bear fighters, nor are they experts sent by those business groups and companies, but two wilderness bounty hunters who exude a powerful aura and make people frightened at first sight. .
After the two people circled around the Maple Leaf Fortress, they returned to the hanging platform where Zhang Tie and Krell killed the beast master and tied them up, and looked at the line that Krell left behind. Handwriting, the brows of the two bounty hunters frowned.
"Could it be that the people from the Guardian God sect got mixed up with that guy?" Among the two people, a burly man opened his mouth first, "I didn't expect that the beast horde here in the gray hill was really someone Pushing behind the scenes, this matter must be reported to Eskil City immediately!"
"Don't worry, the airship of the chamber of commerce in Eskil City will arrive here soon, and they will bring back the news here. Do a few clowns want to stir up wind and rain in the ice and snow wasteland? Hmph..." This The voice came from another bounty hunter wearing a ferocious metal mask. The voice was full of coldness, but it was obvious that the owner of the voice was a woman. The woman raised her face , let the ferocious metal mask stand quietly in place facing the sun's rays for a while, as if distinguishing something.
"I feel that the two of them have separated here. The person from the Guardian God Sect is heading north, while the bastard named Peter is heading southwest. Our mission is to take the head of that bastard named Peter. Take it back and get the reward of 5000 gold coins by the way. These 5000 gold coins can buy a lot of things for the tribe. Maybe this winter will not be so difficult. We haven’t encountered such a transaction for a long time. !"
"Aurora, don't you think it's strange, since the two of us were ordered to hunt down that guy, whether it's the news we got in Kurgan Village or the people who just met those who escaped from the Maple Leaf Fort Come on, that guy named Peter doesn't seem so bad, maybe there is something wrong with the wanted warrant issued by the Eskil City Police Department?"
"There are only two kinds of men, one is the one who is going to die now, and the other is the one who is going to die soon. How do you know that man is not pretending to be in front of Kurgan Village and the people we met just now? All these years Don't we encounter such treacherous people too often..." A disdainful sneer came from under the metal mask, "There may be problems with the arrest warrant issued by the Eskil City Police Department, but the first two were arrested There will be no problem with the body of the wasteland bounty hunter who was torn up and brutally killed by people. Those two people got the news to arrest the bastard named Peter, and now they are dead. Shouldn’t the account be attributed to that bastard? If it wasn't for this matter, why would the police force let the two of us go out? The majesty of Eskil City and the Xiong Clan has never been gained through verbal battles. Even if that person is not the murderer, but The deaths of those two wasteland bounty hunters were also caused by him, and just because of this, he deserves to die!"
"But the majesty of the Bear Clan doesn't come from indiscriminate killing of innocent people!" The burly man seemed to want to try harder.
"Seton, if you want to go back to Eskil City to the police station to apply for changing the arrest warrant and investigate the cause of death of the two wasteland bounty hunters in front of you, you can go back, and I can handle it alone here! Unless you put The new arrest warrant is placed in front of me, otherwise I will definitely take that person's head back!" The masked female voice finished speaking coldly, without even looking at the man named Seton, she turned towards the man named Seton. Fei ran in the direction Zhang Tie left, and the speed was not slower than Zhang Tie's.
The man named Seton glanced at the back of the flying away with worried eyes, finally sighed helplessly, and rushed over.
...
Zhang Tie ran very fast. When it was dark, even if the route was a bit tortuous, and there were no roads at all in most places, Zhang Tie had already left the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold for more than 400 kilometers by himself. After spending the night in the cave in the wild, Zhang Tie returned to the long-lost black iron castle.
...
On the small tree in the Black Iron Castle, looking at the seven iron-toothed hyena seven-li fruit hanging on the small tree, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that leaving Huaiyuan Hall this time might be the wisest decision in his life.
In addition to the seven iron-toothed hyena seven-power fruits, there are two other fruits on the small tree that make Zhang Tie smile so hard that his mouth can't close. One is the fruit of brilliance, and the other is the long-lost fruit of judgment...
——The Fruit of Judgment has matured. This Fruit of Judgment contains a rune of God. The effect of the rune—"Hidden", how to use it. Pick it and stick it between the eyebrows, and activate it with spiritual power. Note that the fruit cannot be taken away from the Black Iron Castle, this fruit can only be activated and blended by the owner of the castle. After twelve hours of picking, the energy and vitality in the fruit will gradually be lost.
—Warrior to the darkness, the everlasting sun will not hang in the sky at all times, because it knows that when night comes, it is necessary to give the stage of the sky to the stars, let yourself Hiding on the other side of the world you can't see, can always promise you a dawn after the darkness has passed.
