The brilliant light shines brightly for a moment, then dims and finally disappears.
But the strange fragrance always exists.
It looked like the location was not far away, but when I really flew, it was extremely far away. Although I couldn't see the light, I was not afraid of getting lost by following the smell of the strange fragrance.
…
…
When Qin Jinnian flew over there.
Above the dark earth, light was floating and roars were resounding.
Strange roars were heard, and sometimes there were human shouts...
A chase is unfolding on this dark land.
It is humans who escape.
The one chasing him was a strange-looking creature...
It was the Abyss! These Abyss had dark skin, slender and strong limbs, and wore strange armor. Their dark skin was hairless, and they had no obvious sexual characteristics. Instead, they had human-like facial features, nostrils but no noses. Their entire nasal cavities were like two dark holes. Their faces had very obvious muscle lines, but from a human aesthetic point of view, they looked very hideous.
They have sharp and jagged teeth, and their mouths open wide when they scream, taking up almost half of their faces.
The speed was extremely fast, like a series of black shadows moving around, holding strangely shaped cold weapons, and shining sharp black light in the fog.
There are probably about ten of them.
Chasing a group of humans.
This team of humans also consisted of about ten people of all races. They were wearing the military uniforms that Qin Jinnian had seen in Tianyuan City. They were holding swords and other cold weapons, with spiritual energy surging throughout their bodies. They were fighting and retreating at the same time.
The number of people on both sides was equal, but judging by the situation, the Abyssoids had the upper hand. The humans were all wounded, and as they fought and retreated, their injuries became increasingly serious...
These people should have extremely strong vitality, so their injuries were healing quickly, but their injuries were increasing in number and severity, and they all looked desperate.
The abyss species became more and more courageous as the battle went on. The black figures rushed forward and soon caught up with the humans, forcing them to stop and fight back once or twice before looking for an opportunity to escape.
They were all very fast, and in a short period of time, they had chased for several kilometers, but the human's injuries were getting more and more serious, causing his speed to slow down.
"You can't escape, Tess. You're the fastest. Go first. We'll buy you some time."
Finally, seeing the abyss species becoming more and more violent, some humans showed despair on their faces, and finally gritted their teeth and spoke.
The blond young man named Tess was shocked when he heard that. He shook his head frantically, "No, I won't abandon you! Hold on a little longer. There must be a patrol team from Tianyuan Pass nearby. We can definitely hold on until they arrive! Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer..."
"Calm down, kid. We knew this day would come the moment we stepped onto the battlefield, didn't we? Go. Bring back the message of the Purifying Water, otherwise our sacrifice will be meaningless."
An old white man next to him laughed and comforted the blond young man Tess, with gentleness and determination in his turbid eyes.
"No!"
Ster still shook his head, obviously unable to accept it.
They are a scout team whose mission is to travel through the front battlefield and investigate the movements of the abyss species on the opposite side.
Today, while they were on patrol, they suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. Following the scent, they saw a bright colorful light.
The knowledgeable captain Drizzt immediately recognized that it was a sign of the birth of the water of purification.
Purified water is one of the most precious resources in the shallow abyss. It is extremely rare and has extraordinary effects on both humans and abyss species.
Every time the water of purification appears, it is accompanied by a strange fragrance that is enough to purify the soul and a colorful and dazzling light. Then, after a period of gestation, the water of purification will be born...
Humanity is in great need of purified water.
It's not just because purified water can heal many injuries and deformities caused by abyss pollution, but also because purified water is one of the necessary materials for advancing to the Source Realm... Even if you want to create an Earth Walk, you need purified water.
Arguably one of the most important resources.
As long as purified water is discovered, humans will definitely not let it go.
At the same time, the purified water seems to have a huge effect on the abyss species. Once the abyss species are discovered, they will never let go.
This means that every time the purified water comes into the world, it will trigger a war of considerable scale and intensity.
In war, there are naturally winners and losers.
But this presupposes that... both parties get the message.
But the abyss is too big, and human technology is suppressed to the extreme in the abyss... Because of the existence of the abyss breath, it also forms a huge suppression and interference on various signals, and no one knows whether there are all kinds of weirdness in this fog... It's similar to the situation on the night of the blood moon.
This means that wireless communications are no longer possible, and messages must be transmitted through people just like in ancient times.
This is also one of the reasons for the existence of the scout team.
The news of the purified water has always been one of the highest-level intelligence. Once the news is received, it must be reported to the human army as soon as possible, and then naturally there will be strong people coming to fight for the purified water.
So today, after they obtained the intelligence, they wanted to leave and send the intelligence back as soon as possible.
But they were unlucky, because at the same time they discovered the water of purification, a scout team of the abyss species were also attracted by the scent of the water of purification and discovered it at the same time.
The result... needless to say.
The fighting power of the Abyss Race is usually stronger than that of humans. They were chased all the way here by this scout team, and 20 to 30 of them have died. Now there are only ten of them left. But everyone is injured and at the end of their strength.
It was impossible for all the members to escape, so now, they had to make a choice... Should they all die here? Or should they sacrifice the majority and ensure that one of them escaped and sent the information back? Of course, it was called a choice, but in reality... they had no choice at all.
The Abyss species that discovered them was called 'Nocturnal Tribe'... This was naturally the name given to them by humans. If described in the Abyss language, it was a long string of very strange pronunciations.
The biggest feature of the 'Night Tribe' is that they are very fast. The scout team is usually composed of super warriors who practice wind-based mental methods or speed-enhanced people with super powers such as wind-based and speed-enhanced systems... But in front of the 'Night Tribe', speed does not give them any advantage.
Take Ster for example, he is a super-powered being with enhanced speed. After evolving to the ninth level, his speed is extremely terrifying. When he bursts out, he can reach a speed of over three kilometers per second… equivalent to seven to eight times the speed of sound.
But this consumes too much spiritual energy. Once it erupts, it can only last for ten seconds at most before the spiritual energy is exhausted.
This means they lose their ability to fight.
However, this speed cannot guarantee that he can get rid of the "nocturnal people".
Because these abyss species are very weakly affected by the abyss breath, their field of vision is much larger than that of humans, and they also have the means to track traces of psychic energy in a short period of time.
Therefore, there is no escape.
Either the whole army would be wiped out, or most of them would be sacrificed to ensure that one of them escaped and brought back the intelligence.
How to choose is actually self-evident.
"Tes, now is not the time to be fussy. Let's go. We will try our best to buy you some time. You take the information back... and then, let the strong men of our tribe avenge us."
A black man opened his mouth, showing a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile. There was a hideous wound on his neck, blood was flowing halfway down his body, and the flesh on his neck was wriggling, healing the wound, but the speed was not fast.
“No, no…”
Tess shook his head, tears streaming down his face for a moment.
Tess looked very young, no more than 30 years old. He graduated from university this year with the extraordinary achievements of a ninth-level ability user, and only came to the Abyss this year to join the scout team.
He once imagined how humans in the abyss survived.
But when he truly entered the abyss and integrated himself into it, he was deeply moved.
In the abyss, humans have no racial distinction. White skin, black skin, yellow skin... all have only one identity, that is, human.
During the time he joined the scout team, he followed the team into the abyss and experienced many miracles and dangers. In the process, there was bloodshed, sacrifice, and many touching moments... The first time he saw the abyss species on a mission, he was shocked by their power and cruelty. If it weren't for the veterans in the scout team who desperately protected him, he would have died at that time.
He had unknowingly considered the scout team his home, and the members of the scout team were his family.
How could he be willing to leave?
He was crying and shaking his head continuously. No matter how much the people around him tried to persuade him, he just didn't want to escape alone.
"Damn it, you damn coward!! Do you really want us to die in vain?!"
Finally, one of the veterans got anxious. They were now running for their lives, and words of persuasion were spoken one after another during the battle. At this moment, the "Night Walkers" were still attacking frantically, and their pressure was getting greater and greater. If they hesitated any longer, they might not even have the last chance to fight for their lives!
Ster trembled all over after being scolded, and tears could not stop flowing.
call out!!
Just at this moment, a Night Tribe scout had caught up with him and chopped him down with a long knife. The tearful Ste didn't even have time to react.
“Get lost!!!”
With a roar, the black scout suddenly rushed to Ster and pushed him away. At the same time, a dark light emanated from his whole body, and his muscles tensed up and turned into steel. He raised his knife to block the attack.
but……
Card!!
The long sword was cut off by the opponent's long sword. The next moment, the sword fiercely chopped on his shoulder, cutting in half, and blood spurted out.
The black man cried out in pain, his eyes red, and yelled at Sturt: "Go!!!"
After saying this, he turned around suddenly. His body glowed brightly with a dark light and became even stronger. Regardless of his injuries, he opened his arms and hugged the night tribe warrior directly.
"Damn you bastard! I'm going to fight you!"
The black scout's eyes were bloodshot, he roared, his open mouth revealing his white teeth, blood already flowing from his teeth.
Under his life-threatening heavy armor, the Night Tribe scout also let out a roar, opened his ferocious teeth, and bit the black scout's head.
Crack! The teeth were stuck on the black man's bald head. The sharp teeth pierced into it but failed to break it.
The black man roared again and finally succeeded in hugging the Night Tribe scout.
He roared and exerted force with his arms, making a creaking sound. The Nocturnal Clan scout also let out an unbearable scream.
With his arms unable to be used, he had to stand on his legs. The black man roared, opened his mouth, and bit the night tribe's neck! In the blink of an eye, a horrific "biting each other" like a wild beast began.
"Walk!!"
Someone else yelled at Sturt and rushed over to help.
But some warriors from the Nocturnal Tribe also rushed forward.
For a moment, everyone except Ster was fighting together.
Ster could no longer hold back his tears. He murmured everyone's name. Finally, he wailed and turned his head sharply. Spiritual energy surged in his body. The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot...
He has to go.
He couldn't let these companions sacrifice in vain.
He wanted to send the information back to the army.
Only in this way... can he avenge his companions!
The Night Clan discovered that he had used his ability and disappeared in an instant. They were very anxious and said something angrily in the strange Abyss language.
Some night tribe scouts wanted to catch up.
But at this moment, all human scouts erupted.
They exploded their psychic energy without caring about their lives.
Drizzt, with a big white beard, stopped the night tribe member with a grim smile on his face.
“This road is blocked!”
He laughed and rushed forward...
For a moment, all the nocturnal people were intercepted.
…
…
Ten seconds later, a figure appeared from the void as if flying.
The car was going too fast and he couldn't stop it at all. He rolled on the ground for hundreds of meters before he came to a stop with difficulty.
Looking again, it was a blond young man, his body covered in blood. He was severely injured from rolling on the ground just now. Even one of his arms was broken and the bones were twisted.
His face was covered in mud and tears had left two trenches on his face.
He lay on the ground panting, but soon he got up with his teeth clenched with blood foam.
He covered his broken arm, and the small wounds on his body were wriggling...recovering with difficulty.
He turned his head and looked back, his eyes full of tears.
Finally, he wiped away his tears fiercely with a crying voice.
"I must avenge you...I must avenge you!!"
He murmured, then turned around without looking back, staggered, and ran forward quickly...
His spiritual energy has been exhausted. Now, he must leave as soon as possible... because he doesn't know when those nocturnal tribes will catch up...
Until, ten minutes later.
Several figures with injuries, dark skin, ferocious faces and wearing tattered armor ran here quickly.
They paused here for a moment, then quickly scanned the ground, and soon saw traces on the ground.
Some of the gravel was stained with blood.
A night-walker reached out and touched the blood, then put it in his mouth. After savoring it, his pupils suddenly contracted, then he pointed in a direction and said something.
The next moment, these nocturnal creatures ran quickly and chased forward.
soon……
High in the sky, a green figure is flying.
At a certain moment, the figure suddenly paused.
"Abyss seed?"
Qin Jinnian raised his eyebrows and looked down.
