Chapter 821 Bird in a Cage, Hunting and Being Hunted (5.4k 2-in-1)

Haotian Fortress is like a satellite, orbiting the majestic Shengzhou Island, rotating non-stop.

The armored guards on the fortress are wearing steel armor, staring at everything in the starry sky like hawks.

——Anything that dares to approach the Holy Land of Haotian, whether it is a living being or something else, will be destroyed by them like butchers.

Even if it is just a black meteorite, it is the same.

After sneaking into the No. 68 Haotian Fortress, Yu Chen and Fei Sheng did not act rashly immediately.

——Indeed, even if all the iron guards in the No. 68 Haotian Fortress are added together, they are not enough to fight Fei Sheng alone. But once exposed, what awaits them is unimaginable terrifying firepower.

In addition, Yu Chen and Fei Sheng also know that even if the Haotian Guards are armed to the teeth, that is because they are strictly disciplined, even if they can sacrifice immediately for the Holy Land of Haotian, they don’t care about being torn to pieces.

But... they are still human.

As long as they are human, they cannot keep running like machines. These armored divine guards will return to Shengzhou Island sooner or later.

Then, it will be the best time to step into Shengzhou Island.

During the long wait, the two were like sculptures, without any movement.

Suddenly, in the distant starry sky, one after another black steel ships crossed the sea of ​​stars and rumbled over.

But the iron guards on the fortress did not react at all.

And Yu Chen and Fei Sheng were not surprised.

——From the memories of the two unlucky guys they replaced, they knew that the entire Haotian Holy Land has been sending fleets to the surrounding starry sky for many years to excavate materials and then transport them back to Shengzhou Island.

These black ships are the teams that transport these materials.

According to the memories of the two iron guards, these materials are generally starry sky spiritual mines containing infinite heaven and earth qi, as well as some rare treasures, divine iron and immortal steel.

Of course, as for what these materials are used for, the two divine guards, with their humble status, do not know.

Not only that, from the memories of the two divine guards, Yu Chen and Fei Sheng calculated that the materials brought back by the treasure-hunting fleets sent out over the years, which they only knew, are already a terrifying amount.

It even exceeds the hundred-year inventory of a complete holy land.

But the Holy Land of Haotian is like a terrifying glutton, never satisfied, grabbing resources from any place that can be reached.

In addition to these starry sky treasure-hunting teams, they even tampered with the front-line materials traded with the Tianji Pavilion.

This made Yu Chen and Fei Sheng realize... the great plot of the Holy Land of Haotian,

Time, passed bit by bit.

The boring days have lasted for more than half a month.

And Yu Chen observed that the iron guards around them, although they still stood tall and motionless, their breath was somewhat weakened.

- Tiredness.

High-intensity, focused vigilance and defense are the most exhausting.

Except for Yu Chen and the other two, some of the Iron Guards in Tongtian Realm could not bear it.

So, after reporting and handing over, the captain of the Silver Guard gave them the order to withdraw.

Half an hour later, the Iron Guards who replaced them descended from the sky and stationed in the Iron Castle.

The captain of the Silver Guard led them together and prepared to return to Shengzhou.

They set off from Haotian Castle and sailed to Shengzhou Island on the special ship made of steel.

According to the memory of the two unlucky guys, Yu Chen and his team would hurry to the "barracks" to have special craftsmen check the wear and tear of equipment and weapons, and the Iron Guards themselves would return to the designated camp to rest. After three days of rest, they would set off again and station in the Iron Castle.

The Haotian Boat sailed through the starry sky, through the dark clouds like smoke, and entered the territory of Shengzhou Island.

What caught Yu Chen's eyes were pitch-black steel buildings, which almost completely occupied the entire Shengzhou Island. Deafening and terrifying roars rang out from those steel buildings, day and night, as if there were extremely huge and terrifying machines running.

In addition, black chimneys stood up from every corner of the earth, and billowing black smoke covered the sky.

With endless filth and terrifying high temperatures, like the scorching heat of midsummer.

The temperature of the entire Shengzhou Island was so high that it was unbearable for humans. Even if there was rainfall in some areas, it was the smelly and evil rain, which not only did not bring any coolness, but also had strong corrosiveness.

Yu Chen and Fei Sheng looked at each other imperceptibly, and both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

——Although it was known that Haotian Holy Land had undergone drastic changes, it was not as bad as this, right?

You have to know that even if mortals existed, they were not worth mentioning in the eyes of most Qi-refining practitioners.

But it was these weak mortals who were the soil for the vigorous development of any holy land.

Therefore, many holy places have the term "territory", and all the mortal cities and countries within the territory are protected by them.

This is to protect mortals, and also to protect the future and hope of the sect.

However, the territory of Haotian Holy Land, "Shengzhou Island", has turned into such a hell on earth.

——What are those guys in Haotian Holy Land doing?

Both of them frowned at the same time.

But at this moment, the most important thing is not to entangle these issues.

Yu Chen lowered his eyes, and with a flick of his finger, the dream-marrying magic was activated again.

In an instant, the remaining sixteen iron guards on the entire ship fell into a dream at the same time.

In the dream, nothing was abnormal and they were still on their way back to the camp.

But in the present world, Yu Chen and Fei Sheng jumped up, broke away from the Shenzhou, and fell silently from around Haotian.

At the same time, golden light flashed in Yu Chen's hand, and two paper figurines flew out. He blew on them, and the two paper figurines immediately turned into two divine guards, as if they were carved from the same mold, exactly as they were. .

He replaced Yu Chen and Fei Sheng and filled the gap in the queue, ensuring that even after the divine guard returned to the military camp, he would not find any clues.

Then, the magical power of marrying a dream was released.

The sixteen divine guards, including the captain of the Silver Guard who was at the Tianzun realm, did not notice at all and continued to drive towards the military camp - a huge, towering, honeycomb-like steel building.

Yu Chen and Fei Sheng quietly landed on the land of Shengzhou Island.

Under the guise of being transformed into human beings, they looked inconspicuous in the endless smoke and fog.

But when they actually set foot on the land of Shengzhou Island, Yu Chen and Fei Sheng truly felt the surrounding environment.

--bad.

Looking around, the land is barren, the rivers have stopped flowing, and there is only endless black sand and dust.

When the strong wind blew, the sky was filled with sand, revealing the dense bones.

"I absolutely do not believe that this is the territory of a holy land." Fei Sheng frowned and said.

Yu Chen also nodded.

——This Shengzhou Island is the same as what they saw on the Shenzhou in the sky. It doesn't look like a place where people can survive.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a restricted area in life.

"What should we do next?" Fei Sheng looked around. The terrifying smoke and dust and the infinitely tall steel structures covered the sunlight, and the entire earth was extremely dark.

——Even he himself didn’t realize that he should be the one responsible for this mission, but under the influence of subtle influence, this Tianyan Siming habitually began to follow Yu Chen’s footsteps.

"let me see."

Yu Chen looked at the world and spoke softly.

One thing that is certain now is that Haotian Holy Land is planning some terrible plots.

Because of this, they need endless wishes, and because of this, they have turned the Holy Continent Island into the desolate and dilapidated appearance in front of them.

What is worth mentioning is that they learned more information from the memories of the two divine guards who were replaced by Yu Chen and Fei Sheng.

——Although the two Iron Guards have been living in that "military camp" in an almost captive manner since their birth, they are now over two hundred years old.

In other words, the huge hive-like "military camp" of steel has existed since at least two hundred years ago.

But Fei Sheng clearly remembered that when he came to Haotian Holy Land a few years ago, Shengzhou Island was still a land of green water and green mountains, with no such things as "military camps".

There are only two possibilities, either Fei Sheng remembered it wrong, but this is impossible. The existence of Hedao realm will not make such a mistake.

Or, Haotian Holy Land has been planning something since at least two hundred years ago. A few years ago, Fei Sheng came to Haotian Holy Land through the Dongxu Formation. The Holy Continent Island he saw below was just an illusion and an illusion.

so……

"The Holy Land has spent at least two hundred years planning in secret. What is the plan? Just thinking about it... makes me feel numb." Fei Sheng murmured.

Even though he successfully sneaked into the Holy Island, his face did not relax at all, but was extremely gloomy - his sense of smell from having been in a high position for many years allowed him to smell a conspiracy, a terrible conspiracy.

"Perhaps... you are not willing to be the tombkeeper anymore?" Yu Chen was silent for a long time before saying.

After hearing this, Fei Sheng was shocked.

But didn't answer the call.

But when the two of them were silent.

Suddenly, they saw something like a shadow flashing past a steel building not far ahead.

——It was a steel building like a pyramid, completely black and thousands of feet high, like a high wall, standing in front of the two of them.

And on the top of the tower, a black shadow the size of a mosquito flew out from the top of the tower and then fell downwards.

Under the barrier of smoke and smoke, ordinary people may not be able to detect it at all.

But Yu Chen and Fei Sheng's terrifying eyesight could see clearly at a glance.

——That’s not a mosquito, that’s a human.

A young man who looked to be only in his teens, wearing shabby clothes and a gray face, but with a smile on his dirty face and hope shining in his eyes.

Judging from his aura, he is probably in the realm of Kaihai, but his spiritual court was destroyed, so he may not be able to break through the spiritual phase in this life.

But the boy didn't seem to care.

He rushed out of the steel pyramid and landed from the sky. He took out a cylinder from his arms and lifted it up, and the steel skeleton rose out of it. At the same time, the compressed and heavy cloth unfolded from the skeleton.

The fabric was thick, but the colors were extremely mixed, as if it were made up of countless rags spliced ​​together.

But in the end, it turned into the shape of a huge "umbrella".

It was its existence that made the young man's landing slow down.

The young man's figure passed through the wind and sand, and passed through the gunpowder smoke. When he landed on the ground, his whole body was already covered in gray, and he was coughing non-stop because of the thick smoke that got into his nose.

And because of the transformation, even though the two sides were only two or three feet apart, the young man couldn't see Yu Chen and Fei Sheng. He struggled and coughed for a while, and straightened his clothes. After that, he raised his head and looked around with great novelty.

——In the eyes of Yu Chen and Fei Sheng, the environment was as harsh as purgatory, but in the eyes of this young man, it seemed to be full of novelty.

He lay on the ground and sniffed the dark sand with his nose, which brought tears to his eyes. He looked around again and felt extremely happy when he saw the barren mountains and dry rivers.

A face full of joy.

Just like the bird that finally leaves the cage and comes to the outside world, everything it sees feels strange.

Once the excitement passed, the young man frowned, took out a shabby piece of cloth from his arms, looked at the scrawled scroll on it, and muttered: "My grandpa said the sky outside is blue..." The water is clear...the land is dark yellow...why is it different..."

But immediately, he put away the rag, cherished it, patted the dust on his body, and gave a thumbs up: "Hey! Su Shiyi escaped! That's great!"

Then, he turned his head and looked at the steel pyramid that was as insurmountable to him as a natural chasm. I entered my fist!

"Everyone, wait for Eleven! Eleven will definitely find the adults! Ask them to come and save everyone!"

Then, he took out another roll of paper with some landscapes scrawled on it.

It looks like a simple map.

The young man looked at it for a long time, scratched his head stupidly, and murmured to himself: "Well... the east... Grandpa said that the east is in the direction of the rising sun! That's where it is!"

He patted his head and headed west.

——The sun rises and the moon sets, and it is dusk.

But the young man didn't care about that. As if he had endless strength, he took out a few dirty pills and poured them into his mouth. After wolfing them down to replenish his strength, he ran towards the west!

Yu Chen and Fei Sheng saw everything and didn't know what expressions to make.

The surrounding environment is harsh, desolate, and scorching hot.

But the young man in front of him was innocent, lively and full of hope, especially his eyes, which had never lost any light. Like a white flower in the dark mud.

Out of place.

"so good……"

Whether he was feeling the vitality of life or being infected by the young man's vitality, Yu Chen sighed, but then he looked in the direction of the steel pyramid and frowned, "——It would be better if there weren't these guys. "

Follow his gaze.

At the door of the steel pyramid, more than a dozen figures wearing red soft armor, covering their bodies to their teeth, stood quietly.

In front of them was a fat Taoist priest wearing a red Taoist robe with a big belly.

He was tall, as tall as two average men and about as wide - he looked like a ball.

His Taoist robe was also red, as bright as blood, and the nails on his fat hands were also painted bright red.

On the white and tender wrist, there is a string of bracelets, which are made of translucent "jade pieces" threaded with red threads. If you look closely, you can see that there are scarlet and dark red patches on the jade pieces.

The thread should also be white, but it was dyed red.

--nail.

Yu Chen recognized it at a glance. The so-called "jade pieces" were all human nails, not accessories. Those bright red ones are blood stains, while those dark red ones are dried flesh and blood.

Behind the fat Taoist, the dozen or so soft-armored figures headed the group held a tray in both hands, with a pair of bows and arrows placed on the tray.

——It’s not a magic weapon, just a wooden bow and wooden arrows.

The fat Taoist's eyes were like hawks, staring at the young man, murmuring: "Run faster...my cute little bird...run faster...run further..."

The eyes that were squeezed into only one line by the fat showed morbid excitement.

But among the figures in red soft armor behind him, the last two people were talking.

One of them said: "Why is the cage owner not in a hurry? If that guy escapes and the higher ups blame him, we will suffer!"

Another person said: "You were transferred from cage No. 80? No wonder, you don't know this - the cage owner deliberately let him escape. Otherwise, how could he escape with his skills in sailing? "

"On purpose? Why?"

"Stupid, how can he hunt if he doesn't run?"

"ah?"

"Let me tell you, our cage owner is different from other cage owners. We don't like arrogance and luxury, but love hunting. Every once in a while, he will deliberately 'neglect' and let out some prisoners. The birds are happy and cheering, and the cage owner likes to hunt them at this time - did you see the nail strings on the cage owner's hands? Every nail is a harvest of hunting! "

"Oh! Our cage master is so elegant!"

"Yes! And today this little prison bird is full of hope and especially delicious. You can see the cage owner's mouth is leaking out!"

"I want to see you for a moment like this. It's so exciting. You won't see such excitement in other cages!"

"That's right! Watch carefully - that moment when all the hopes were completely wiped out... tsk..."

The two of them spoke louder and louder, until the red soft-armored figure at the head turned around and glared at them, then they fell silent.

But the excitement on his face was hard to conceal.

At the same time, the fat Taoist didn't care about their muttering. All his eyes were fixed on the young man. His fat body trembled, and his eyes even shone with tears. He murmured to himself: "It's so beautiful..."

Then, he reached out tremblingly, picked up the bow and arrow, sucked a mouthful of saliva, put the bow on, and pulled the arrow.

Whoosh!

The arrow flew out!

The terrifying divine power acted on the arrow, tearing the wind and sand, tearing the thick fog, and piercing the back of the young man!

The arrow shot into the storm.

The fat Taoist stopped looking, put down the bow and arrow, closed his eyes, and looked intoxicated.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the beautiful cry that sounded when the hope turned into despair.

But unlike every time before, he didn't wait.

A long time passed, and there was only the sound of the bird cheering and running farther and farther away.

But the fatal arrow disappeared without a trace.

The fat Taoist opened his eyes, and his fat body was trembling, but it was not because of excitement, but anger.

It was like he suddenly lost his erection on the wedding night.

He was extremely angry.

But soon, the anger turned into fear.

Whoosh——

There was a sound of breaking through the air.

The next moment, the red soft-armored figure holding a tray next to the fat Taoist suddenly cried out in pain!

The fat Taoist was stunned, turned his head and saw a huge blood hole piercing the chest of the red soft-armored figure.

The red soft-armored figure fell down and wailed in pain.

He stretched his arms and legs a few times, but he stopped moving and died.

The fat Taoist didn't even react.

"Ah" a whine!

Another red soft-armored figure behind him fell down, his head was pierced, his face disappeared, and only a bloody hole was left.

The fat Taoist was shocked and angry, and said in a cold voice, "Who is playing tricks!"

But no one answered him.

Swoosh!

Another wailing sound, another soft-armored guard fell down with a big hole in his chest.

Blood flowed down, dyeing the ground red.

At that moment, the fat Taoist finally panicked.

With many years of hunting experience, every pore of his body felt that a feast called "hunting" had begun.

Only this time, they were the prey.
