Chapter 344 Abandoned Outpost

After the spacecraft disappeared out of thin air from the bottom of the Blood Lake, it caused a large-scale cavity backflow. Tons of lake water and hundreds of meters of water pressure hit the bottom of the lake hard, causing a large-scale shock. This time The noise must have spread outside, but anyway, the little green people and the spaceship have left, so Hao Ren doesn't have to worry about any further trouble - at most, it will leave an unsolved mystery in the hearts of the locals. Anyway, the Blood Lake is The most indispensable thing is unsolved mysteries.

Nangong Wuyue helped everyone withstand the impact of the lake water pouring back. At this time, all the swimmers in front of the team were struggling. Hao Ren watched the siren girl swimming like a half-dead fish while subconsciously turning her belly and floating upward. I couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Is this okay with you?"

Nangong Wuyue slanted his body to clear the way in front, and said harshly: "It's okay! I'm just a little dizzy! Don't underestimate the sea monster's ability to survive in the water..."

Vivian looked at Nangong Wuyue unbearably: "...but you're so upset..."

Nangong Wuyue tried his best to straighten his body, then shook his head after failing: "Occasionally, you can discover a lot by looking at the world from a different angle..."

When Doudou saw this situation, he happily followed Nangong Wuyue, and also learned to float belly up. Hao Ren quickly grabbed the little guy's tail and pulled her back: "Learn something better! This posture is not good." auspicious!"

Nangong Wuyue was dizzy after being shocked by the water pouring in from the lake. In order to maintain balance, she turned into a mermaid form (although she didn't seem to have much balance). At this time, she suddenly turned her head and looked at her tail, and started to get entangled again: "...you are talking about me. Is there a thorn or not..."

Hao Ren felt like he was sweating while soaking in the water: "How long have you been struggling with this problem?"

When everyone got ashore, four ascetics who had been waiting for a long time came up to them. They still looked as expressionless as before. Hao Ren estimated that even if the four Vajras encountered the end of the world, as long as the end of the world was not their goddess They can keep this zombie-like look on their faces as long as they are excited and tossing it out. The bearded man came to Hao Ren: "Those green creatures have left?"

"Don't forget about green creatures. We are also human beings. We are called Campbell people - we are still called meat people in the eyes of some incorporeal aliens." Hao Ren was so righteous at this time that he completely forgot about him. Kabbalah was always called the little green man thing all the way, "The spaceship has been sent away, and the last movement was really loud, which was a bit of a miscalculation... But don't worry, there was no accident other than the louder sound."

The young female ascetic among the four (it’s okay to call her a nun, right?) asked immediately: “You didn’t see anything strange at the bottom of the lake, did you?”

"No," Lily replied smoothly while playing with two black stones picked up from the bottom of the lake, "What should I see?"

The four masters immediately shook their heads in unison, saying that it would be better if there were no visions. At this time, Hao Ren looked up at the completely dark sky. After identifying the direction based on his memory, he walked towards the lakeside station where he stayed last time: "Let's go quickly. There was a lot of noise just now. Say It may have alerted the nearby Crusaders, and it’s hard to explain why they’re still wandering by the lake at this time.”

Everyone headed towards the outpost by the lake. On the way, Vivian glanced at the ascetics who remained silent: "Several masters know our situation. We are not from this world, but we have no ill intentions towards this world. After that, If we encounter someone interrogating us, especially if there are church personnel interrogating us, I hope that some of you can help cover it up. In addition, regarding the Holy Temple Orb, I hope that some of you can help us bear witness as agreed."

The bearded man walked leisurely and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry, the clergy will definitely abide by the agreement - although the clergy should not lie, this matter involves sacred objects, so we naturally know how to adapt to circumstances. And no matter what, I received a lot of care from you when I was 'out there', and it's time to repay me."

Although the bearded men always have a straight face, they are actually very talkative. In fact, as long as they have a "mission", the degree to which these ascetics adapt to changes is simply astonishing. In order to protect the orb and return it intact to Zhao, they can surrender, be taken prisoner, die, fight, or even violate the bottom line of ordinary priests to work with pagans or even deceive and abduct. It can be said that in addition to handing over the sacred object of the goddess They can do anything except saints and villains. These are the special clergymen trained by the Huiyao Sect. They have pure thoughts and clear actions, and they only focus on the "sacred mission" throughout their lives.

Simple, but extremely paranoid.

Hao Ren and Big Beard have been in contact with each other for two or three days. They can't say how well they understand these weirdos who are always thinking silently, but they have more or less figured out how these people behave from their occasional conversations, and they also know how to follow them. They get along, so he and Vivian can ask the four bearded men to vouch for themselves: this does not violate the rules of the four ascetics.

Betsy looked up at the starry sky in her hometown. She seemed worried all the way. She finally went home, but the way she went home was different from what she had imagined before. The mercenary girl who was cheerful every day also had moments of sadness. . But after being worried for a while, she threw her troubles behind her and became happy again: "That's right! You have to receive the reward after you go back! Bearded Master, when we hand over the orb, we have to go together. I am also a noble... I wonder which big shot will give me the honor! If Marshal Ofra hasn't left the west yet... Hey, hey hey hey..."

Vivian couldn't help but feel numb all over when she heard Betsy's weird laughter. She hugged her shoulders and ran to Hao Ren: "Why am I so allergic to this kind of laughter?"

Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "Hesiana——"

Vivian immediately thought of many things that made her skin crawl. She turned around and glared at Betsy: "Don't laugh like that! I'm allergic!"

"It's no use even if you are canonized as a knight and get a manor now," Nangong Wuyue glanced at Betsy, "Every time you stay here for fifteen days, even if you get a big house, it's like living for a servant. ”

"Don't remind me of this!" Betsy immediately jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail, "Can't you just leave after enjoying yourself!"

The group of people were all very nice. Although they were joking all the way, they walked quickly and soon arrived at the lakeside station. But when the silhouettes of simple wooden houses appeared in front of them, Yzaks suddenly stopped everyone in a low voice: " Wait a minute! Something happened up front!"

Hao Ren looked up and immediately discovered a problem: the outpost in the distance was completely dark, without even a single light. The bright stars and the light of two moons shone on the outpost at the same time, but no one could be seen inside. Anyone smoke. And after careful observation, Hao Ren also found that many buildings in the post seemed to have been damaged. What impressed him most was that there were several arrow towers at the corners of the post, but now there were only a few thick wooden piles left there.

Betsy didn't see the situation of the outpost clearly at the moment, but she just wondered why there were no lights inside: "Hey, why does it look like there is no one? Aren't these outposts by the lake supposed to be stationed for a long time..."

Lily sniffed hard, and the fluff on her ears and tail stood up: "There is a little bit of bloody smell, it is almost dissipated, it should be a few days ago."

"Someone is attacking the Holy Lake Post?!" Big Beard and the others finally couldn't keep calm at this time. The four of them rushed forward, "Hurry over and take a look at the situation!"

Hao Ren quickly ran over, and after a while he reached the lakeside high ground. Only then did he see more details: the wooden wall around the small outpost had basically collapsed, and the magic barrier that originally shrouded the outside of the wall had also dissipated. Clean, two-thirds of the front wall of the outpost was scattered around the high ground in a shattered shape as if it had been trampled by some huge creature. He followed Big Beard into the camp, and everywhere he saw buildings collapsed in the same way: the walls were broken by brute force, the solid wood was shattered and scattered, and many building fragments were even forced into the ground.

It was as if giants had sacked the outpost.

Hao Ren suddenly remembered the stone giants he had dealt with once: Could it be that the defense line of Leighton Town was breached in the two months after he left? The stone giant has rushed to the inside of the holy lake?

But the situation in the Holy Lake didn't seem to have changed, and the camp on the small island in the middle of the lake was also brightly lit - he had just asked Doudou to swim up there to take a look, so there was nothing wrong with it.

At this time, the bearded man had already circled the camp, and his tone was very serious: "What on earth is going on? Pagans attacking the Holy Land?"
