1011 Encounter

In the dim environment, a strange team was slowly moving along the foothills.

There were black jackals that looked like giant rhinos but had three sharp horns on their foreheads, giant pythons that were a hundred meters long, brown strange birds that fluttered their wings but could not fly, and even dozens of creatures that looked like humans in the upper body but scorpions in the lower body.

These monsters, which had no dependence on each other, seemed to be inconvenient in their movements. If you look closely, you can find that they have almost all suffered trauma recently, and some of them were even more serious, which slowed down the speed of the entire team.

In addition, at the head and tail of the team, there was a person wearing leather armor, with bulging muscles and curly manes, but very human-like, driving them, making them maintain a stable speed and move forward along the predetermined route.

Some huge torches were tied to the horns on the heads of the huge jackals, and the crackling sound of the burning flames and the hot grease dripping from the torches from time to time also made the jackals scream.

But as long as they dared to make a sound to break the silence of the team, a slender but pitch-black whip would appear accurately on their backs, and with a snap, a whip mark was printed on the neck of the jackal that was not light or heavy, but enough to shut them up.

The team composed of hundreds of monsters did not move fast in this dim environment, but in addition to the breathing sounds of these monsters, the crackling sounds of the burning torches, and the occasional screams of pain from the jackals, there were other strange sounds.

But when the long whip made a series of "pa pa pa" sounds, all the monsters stopped moving forward immediately, lying down or licking their wounds, and began to rest or heal in an orderly manner.

The shorter guy who had been walking at the front of the team stopped moving forward and turned around and ran to the end of the team after hearing the sound of the whip being rolled. He smiled and spoke to the sturdy man with a more burly figure and a stronger physique but a face as black as the bottom of a pot. "Black face, why do you need to return this time without even seeing the front line..." [

The crisp and soft voice like the sound of nature is completely inconsistent with the body shape of the person who spoke, but the sturdy man who was rolling up the long whip in his hand became angry. "Don't call me Black Face! I'm your brother!"

"Tsk... Every guy who sees you will call you Black Face, why can't I call you that? This is unfair! I'll go back and tell my mother and let her judge!"

At first, he was still complaining, but in the end, he became very aggrieved, and even a little bit coquettish and intimate.

The slender and flexible long whip was rewound and hung around his waist. The strong guy sighed softly and suddenly reached out and pressed on the head of the person in front of him. He rubbed it hard and laughed heartily. "Sister, if mother knows the reason, she will definitely spank your butt. I don't know if we are lucky this time!"

The sister whose hair was messed up by the black-faced man who was only a head taller than her, stepped aside with a shake, holding the messed-up head with both hands. He roared in exasperation. "Don't rub my head! I don't know how many times I've told you, if you do this again, I'll turn against you!"

The black-faced strong man smiled and ignored the angry sister. Turning around, he took a package from the back of a rhino-like creature with a single horn on its forehead. Then he started to prepare for camping.

And the sister, who was also like a rough man, started to help after a temper tantrum. Soon the tent was erected and the bonfire began to burn.

The ingredients grilled on the bonfire soon gave off the aroma of meat, and the steam in the small pot next to it also began to steam. It was obviously boiled.

The sister, who was much stronger than an average man, began to throw various ingredients into the small pot, while the black face, who was a head taller than her, took out a sand table-like thing from the package on the back of the one-horned rhino. He carefully examined it.

The gentle mountain breeze swept through the camp, gently touching all the creatures in the camp, but the sister who was preparing dinner, in vain, flared her nose, and soon stood up with a change of expression.

Blackface, who was under the illumination of the campfire, seemed to sense something. He stood up suddenly, flicked his fingers at his waist, and held the long whip in his hand. Then he took a big step and appeared beside his sister, casting his eyes on the dark place on the edge of the foothills on the left!

The strange creatures surrounding the camp also became alert one by one. These monsters, which were either strong, fierce, or cunning, seemed to sense the coming of danger and became timid.

Blackface, who was holding the long whip, felt nervous, while his sister beside him had bright eyes. She suddenly pulled out the double swords at her waist, and was ready to rush over.

But Blackface, who reacted more quickly, suddenly reached out and pressed her shoulders, shouting in vain. "Friends over there, please come over and warm yourself by the fire!"

"Thank you..." [

A hoarse and slightly low voice came from the shadows at the edge of the mountain. There was no sound of footsteps, but a moment later a thin figure wrapped in a robe came into the sight of all the creatures in this strange team.

As if he was injured, his frail figure seemed like it could be blown away by a gust of wind. His lower body was still a little unstable, and his entire face was covered by a silk scarf whose texture could not be seen. He was not even as tall as Hei Lian's chest, but he had a pair of particularly bright and clear eyes, and when he slowly walked over, he made the monsters in the camp whimper in a low but frightened way.

Hei Lian's face changed drastically, and he put his right hand holding the long whip behind him, took two steps forward and bowed slightly. "We are Hei Lian who is returning to the Lugu Lakeside, and this is my sister Mi Rouer. I wonder if this lord is going to the front line?"

The thin man who slowly came to the campfire did not answer but asked instead. "Front line? Haha, can you tell me where this is first?"

Hei Lian looked up in astonishment, a little confused. "This is the hilly land leading to the front line..."

The thin man standing opposite the campfire had a flash of embarrassment in his eyes, scratched his head and continued to ask questions. "Uh... let me ask it in a different way. What plane is this?"

The younger sister who was blocked behind the black-faced man glared at the sound, clutching her two knives tightly and appearing beside her brother. "Plane? Where are you from? How come you are behind the front line!"

The girl who was about to attack was immediately held down by the black-faced man by the shoulder. He spoke in horror while blocking his sister behind him again. "This is the intersection of the abyss plane and the underground world. We are just beast drivers who have withdrawn from the front line. Please don't do it!"

The thin man, who seemed not to see the girl's attack, lowered his head and stroked his chin with his left hand, expressing a very puzzled feeling. "The intersection of the abyss plane and the underground world... How come you are here..."

Seeing this, the black-faced man who was trying to break free from his sister pressed harder behind him, his tone became more respectful, and he spoke again very cautiously. "May I ask where this lord is from?".

The thin man who seemed to be lost in thought did not answer, but the sister behind Hei Lian finally broke free from Hei Lian's suppression, and shouted while the two swords suddenly struck together, making a sound of metal clashing. "Brother! He might be an enemy, have you forgotten our mission and task!"

The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out in the camp, like a battle horn, and the monsters that seemed to be shrinking and timid before suddenly roared!

The sharp, deep, or low roars of the beasts accompanied by the chaotic footsteps, all the monsters in the camp surrounded the thin man in a very disciplined manner, and quickly surrounded the thin man in front of the campfire!

But the thin man who bowed his head and thought, as if he didn't notice anything, stood there quietly and let these monsters surround him in the middle... (To be continued...)
