"What's going on? What are you doing? You let the test subject escape? Do you know what the consequences will be if you ruin the master's business?"
In Niutou Mountain, thousands of miles away from Dulan City, a figure in a black robe issued angry reprimands one after another.
The nearest city to Niutou Mountain is Dulan City, which is also more than a thousand miles away. Therefore, although this is still within the scope of the "paradise" dominated by humans, it is already a real wilderness!
Lord-level abyss creatures will only be suppressed "acceptably" here, and the reason why Niutou Mountain is called Niutou Mountain is not because of the terrain here, but because there is an abyss lord entrenched here-Niutou Centipede.
A "human" dared to appear on Niutou and make such a big fuss?
If others knew about it, they would be very surprised.
But there was something even more surprising. The target of his reprimand was a nearly humanoid monster that looked like a small mountain, as tall as five or six stories, with a body made of twisted roots and a small tree on its head; an ugly fat man that was two people tall, with a bloated body and strange limbs, as if someone had randomly stitched together a lot of corpses, with a big mouth on his belly; and... the lord of Niutou Mountain, a "Niutou Centipede" with a head like a buffalo and a body like a giant centipede!
The other two monsters were also lord-level abyss creatures, the demon root, the stitched monster...
Three abyss lords, actually gathered together? And were reprimanded by a human?
No...
If you look at this figure covered in a black cloak from the front, with ravines on his face and blue veins clearly visible, without eyebrows or hair, he looks quite scary. It's hard to say whether he is a human or an abyss creature!
But the three abyss lords were reprimanded by him and dared not say a word?
What was even more surprising was that although the black-robed man looked abstract, if one looked closely, one could see that he clearly had a look of fear on his face...
In the end, it seemed that he had scolded enough, and his tone calmed down a little and he said, "Are you sure that the test subject has completely metamorphosed?"
The stitched monster nodded in a babbling voice.
The black-robed man understood his words, and with a praying tone, he looked in the direction of Duran City and muttered, "Since it is completely metamorphosed, those humans should not be able to see anything... I hope... it will not ruin the adults' plan! Test subject No. 3... is not ordinary... but... it is stronger than ordinary finished products. It is not easy to deal with it if it enters the radiation range of the city's 'Guardian Heart'... I hope... it will not alert the enemy..."
Guan Liyuan and his group naturally did not know what was happening thousands of miles away. After leaving the supply point in the evening, the three of them encountered two large-scale battles in succession, one with three ghouls and the other with a single stick-tailed monster.
The tail of the stick-tailed monster can be soft or hard as it wants. When attacking, it uses its tail as a weapon. It is an abyss creature with a body like a gorilla. Generally, adult individuals belong to the elite level!
What Guan Liyuan and his two friends encountered was a stick-tailed monster that belonged to the elite soldiers of the abyss...
Although there was only one, it caused the three of them to fall into a bitter battle that was second only to the "3vs7" today. However, in the end, they still successfully defeated the opponent and cut off the tail and waited to go back to exchange for money.
Whether it is the elite soldiers of the abyss or the settlement of the abyss servants, they are relatively "rare" in the suburbs, but they are not "rare".
Although the elite soldiers of the abyss will be suppressed to some extent when they are close to the city within 300 miles, it is not unacceptable. They are still much stronger than ordinary servants!
When it got dark, Guan Liyuan and his two friends... Well, it was mainly because of the academic master Wei Yingying. According to theoretical knowledge, they found a suitable place for camping, which was behind a mound with a leeward side.
Camping here not only has a good sight for their side, but also avoids being directly seen by wandering abyss creatures, and the smell is spread closer because of the leeward side.
"The location is good. Let's set up the tent later! In addition, the pack animal pen should be locked over here..." Han Mengli only then spoke to affirm Wei Yingying's choice, and told a lot of experience that was not in the books.
Guan Liyuan, Wei Yingying, and Zhongli Qiu, of course, were in two tents, but the two tents were close together, and the "windows" on the side between them also overlapped. They could see each other by lifting the curtains, which was also to prevent accidents and not being able to notify each other in time.
"Well? Teacher Han, where are you staying tonight? There is still space in Qiu's tent..."
"Don't worry about me." Han Mengli shook her head.
Thinking that Han Mengli was also a high-level professional, the storage volume of the professional rune must be large, and she must have her own preparations, so Wei Yingying did not persuade her anymore.
However, after the tents were set up, the concentrated liquid that confused the smell was sprinkled around, and the order of the night watch was discussed, Han Mengli suddenly looked solemn.
Because Qiu was excited all night yesterday, Guan Liyuan and Wei Yingying unanimously decided to let her rest first.
Just when Guan Liyuan was on duty for the first night, Han Mengli suddenly moved and reached the top of the mound!
"Teacher Han, what's wrong?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
Han Mengli had taught them before not to put themselves directly on high places, so why did she...
"Something is wrong... Call Qiu and Yingying out immediately!" Han Mengli said in a low voice.
Wei Yingying and Zhong Liqiu, who were not asleep yet, also heard Han Mengli's voice and walked out of the tent without waiting for Guan Liyuan's "night raid".
"Teacher Han, what's wrong?"
At this time, Han Mengli's face was already a little ugly, and she said directly: "Abandon all the luggage and evacuate to the supply point!"
"What?" Zhong Liqiu exclaimed.
"Do as I say! There is no time to explain. This is not a test for you. I will cover your evacuation!"
Guan Liyuan and the other two heard the words, and their expressions tightened...
If they were only asked to evacuate the three of them, they might have just discovered a medium-sized abyss servant settlement, or multiple abyss elite soldiers were approaching at the same time.
But Han Mengli actually said that she was responsible for the cover, obviously she didn't care about the "suburban exploration" and was ready to do it herself!
Such a tense matter for a high-level professional must have been far beyond the scope of what Guan Liyuan and his team could handle...
The three of them didn't delay and immediately followed Han Mengli's instructions, abandoned all the luggage and rushed to the supply point.
Before leaving, Guan Liyuan pulled out the iron bolt that tied the pack animal.
Although he couldn't take it with him, he should give it more chances to escape...
Without pack animals, the three of them were naturally fast at full speed. It was estimated that they would be able to return to the supply point in an hour. Han Mengli was the last one to leave without saying a word. She regretted that she did not have a profession like a wind elementalist and did not have the means to help Guan Liyuan and the other two to speed up!
However, about half an hour later, Han Mengli suddenly stopped. Guan Liyuan and the other two stopped after they found out, but found that Han Mengli was facing away from them, as if waiting for something...
"Stay one hundred meters behind me and listen to my command. If you are allowed to escape, immediately go to the supply point for help at one-third of the previous speed!" Han Mengli said.
Her main profession was a sound wave user of the rule system, so she discovered the abnormality a lot in advance...
As the controller of the sound wave rule, what Han Mengli heard before was not a real sound, but a natural sound representing "danger", but she could not judge the specific degree and type of danger. If she could handle it, it would not be a good idea to let Guan Liyuan and the others leave now.
Because it takes a long time to get to the supply point from here, and the rapid movement just now was because of her presence, releasing invisible threatening sound waves to disperse the low-level abyss creatures on the road. Otherwise, according to the previous speed, Guan Liyuan and the other two were completely courting death. Even at one-third of the speed, it was not safe!
Under Han Mengli's gaze, the "thing" that made her feel dangerous caught up...
With the night vision ability of the professional, looking from a distance, she saw a large group of things crawling on the ground, quickly approaching...
"Ah! Is it... bugs? There are so many bugs, crawling so fast!" Zhong Liqiu exclaimed.
