This place is not very far from Huacheng No. 1. It is not impossible for the mutant creatures to unite and attack the city. The problem is that only one month has passed since the last time the mutant creatures attacked the city.
"Do mutant creatures attack the city so frequently?" In Gao Han's impression, a small-scale beast attack might not occur once a month, let alone a large-scale siege.
The last time was a month ago, when the number of mutant creatures attacking the city reached hundreds of thousands, which was already a relatively large siege beast tide.
But after each incident, not only humans need to recuperate, but the mutant creatures also need to. It takes a certain amount of time for a large number of mutant creatures to gather again.
"Theoretically, it's rare," Zhongli Tingzhou said, "but it's not zero."
"Forget it, just capture those mutant creatures and ask them about it and we'll know the answer." Gao Han made a prompt decision and decided not to dwell on this issue anymore and to take action directly.
The group of mutant creatures had not gone far yet, and the two men quickly caught up with them and landed directly in front of them.
"Roar, there are humans, everyone be on guard!" The head of the mutant creature roared in animal language.
A moment later, there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground.
The two leading mutant creatures were tied up. Fugui stood in front of them. He moved a stone over and stood on it to show off his power, as if he was commanding an army.
Gao Han listened to him chattering with the two mutant creatures for a long time, guessing what was happening.
"How's the translation?" Zhongli Tingzhou leaned over with a smile in his eyes.
Gao Han said: "You two are big idiots."
Zhongli Tingzhou blinked and looked at him.
Gao Han added: "I only know that Fugui must have said this."
Zhongli Tingzhou raised his head and laughed, "I have studied for so long, and I only learned these two sentences. Where is the genius you promised me?"
Gao Han asked back indifferently: "Where is the genius you promised us once in a million years?"
Zhongli Tingzhou sighed, "I don't know, it seems that since he met you, his brain has short-circuited from time to time. Genius, that's all in the past."
Gao Han knew that he would not say anything good, "I won't take the blame for this."
Zhongli Tingzhou said seriously, "That's impossible. Who else can take the blame except you? You have to take the blame. At worst, I will marry you. You can have my pure virginity for free."
Gao Han made a vomiting gesture. He was so familiar with taking advantage of women before, and she was still a virgin. No one would believe him.
"What's with that expression on your face? You've hurt my heart so much. My pure and young heart has been deeply hurt by you. I don't care, but you have to take responsibility." Zhongli Tingzhou covered his chest with his hands, looking shameless again.
Gao Han didn't buy his words, "I haven't asked you to take responsibility yet, how dare you say these things?"
Zhongli Tingzhou immediately stood up beside him and held his hand, "Okay, I'll take responsibility."
Gao Han got goosebumps from him and quickly pulled his hand back, "Stop it."
Zhongli Tingzhou was hurt and said, "I am obviously very serious, why do you always think I am making trouble?"
Fugui had finished torturing the two mutant creatures and was looking at them speechlessly.
It's been working here and its saliva has dried up, while the host and the former host are talking about love. It's really miserable.
Gao Han accidentally glanced at its little expression and suddenly found that Fugui's mood seemed to be much richer, as if it had absorbed three black crystal fragments.
"Your son has completed his mission, just listen to it quietly."
Zhongli Tingzhou let out an "oh".
Fugui sighed and began to gesture the information he had obtained.
In short, there is a group of advanced mutant creatures who are planning a near-future siege. They are now gathering a large number of mutant creatures, and will take action once they are assembled.
It is impossible for the higher mutant creatures to suddenly decide to attack the city for no reason, unless they received some special news.
"If something happened in the city, the old man would not have left the city at the critical moment, unless City No. 1 is still unaware of it and the mutant creatures are planning a surprise attack." Zhongli Tingzhou knows his old man.
"Such a big thing can't be a sudden whim. I think there may be some hidden dangers in City No. 1, such as evil spirits. There is something I almost forgot." Gao Han just remembered.
Zhongli Tingzhou asked: "What's the matter?"
Gao Han said: "The demon cultivators we met by the lake last time may have known that you are the Demon King."
Zhongli Tingzhou looked indifferent, "If they know, then they know. Even if they tell the Yuan family, the Yuan family has no evidence."
"I'm afraid they will make a fuss about this. Have you forgotten what happened between Chen Jiaqing and Wang He?" Gao Han didn't forget.
"Trouble." Zhongli Tingzhou said unhappily, "The Chen Jiaqing you are talking about is a graduate of Penglai University?"
Gao Han said: "Yes, I heard that he is a very good person, often helping fellow students, and is quite well-loved, otherwise the incident wouldn't have become such a big deal."
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him, "What about you? Do you also think it's wrong for me to kill him?"
"Those are all rumors. How do I know that he is a good person? I believe you killed him probably because he did something bad. Am I right?" Gao Han asked back. He had never doubted this.
Zhongli Tingzhou was satisfied, and his smile returned. "I seem to have some impression of Chen Jiaqing. Let me think about why I killed him. This guy seems to be a beast in human clothing."
"He tricked a group of junior students into going to the disaster area, used them to find materials for himself, and harmed the team. When he was discovered, he killed them to silence them. I happened to see them, so I killed them."
Seeing how nonchalant he was, I knew he had never taken the matter to heart.
Gao Han asked again: "Then is there any witness?"
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at me with a look of "Are you kidding me?" "How could I possibly remember the witnesses? It's already good enough that I can remember Chen Jiaqing. If he wasn't from Penglai, the Penglai student I killed, it seems..."
He counted on his fingers.
Gao Han: "... You should stop now. What do you mean by the Penglai students you killed? You make it sound like you killed a lot. You can say this in private, but if you say it in front of others, I'll beat you up."
Zhongli Tingzhou chuckled: "Knowing that my boyfriend cares about me, it's okay if I don't say anything."
"What about Wang He? He seems to be a mercenary."
Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly sighed, "This is troublesome."
Gao Han immediately became serious, "Is there no one who can prove it for you?"
That's really troublesome.
"No." Zhongli Tingzhou said, "I have killed countless mercenaries. I don't know who Wang He is. I can't even remember him without seeing him."
Gao Han suddenly felt a little itchy. This guy was almost scared by him. "Let's talk about this when we get back. Let's get back to the topic. Why don't you go back to the city and inform the old man to strengthen their defenses. Fugui and I will go and ask around."
Zhongli Tingzhou looked up at the sky and said, "The weather is pretty good today. The sky is really blue."
Gao Han was confused by his actions and subconsciously looked up at the sky. "We are talking about business, what does the weather have to do with us?"
"Of course it is related. It's not good to daydream." Zhongli Tingzhou said righteously.
Gao Han couldn't help himself this time and rolled his eyes. If it's not possible, then it's not possible. You are still daydreaming. How can you do this?
Zhongli Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, with a hint of danger in his pupils, "Boyfriend, your thoughts are very dangerous. You want to get rid of me? It's impossible in this life. It's even more impossible in the next life. I will cling to you for the rest of my life and make you feel suffocated even in your sleep."
Gao Han: "...I'm just saying this. You can veto it if you don't agree. Is this necessary?"
Zhongli Tingzhou snorted, "Of course it is necessary. I want you to know that even if I become a ghost, I will follow you everywhere. I am a member of your Gao family in life and a ghost of your Gao family in death."
Gao Han: “…”
…
It is not easy to gather a tide of beasts, and it is even more difficult to hide it from humans.
Gao Han did not mention again that Zhongli Tingzhou should return to the city to report the news.
From the two mutant creatures, they roughly knew that the higher mutant creatures had this plan, but it should still be in progress, which also means that they still have time.
City No. 1 is inland, and those who participate in the siege are generally mutated creatures on land and mutated creatures in the sky.
陆地生物其实不麻烦，每次人类的守城战，最麻烦的还是在空中飞的变异生物，因为人类只有修炼至二等，才能飞。
两人决定先去其中一头高等变异生物的领地看看。
这头高等变异生物是游隼，实力强大，有自己的领地，距离他们最近，不过一个小时就到了。
一片茂密的山区，天空时不时有一群变异生物飞过。
肉眼隐约可分辨出，这些变异生物的种类。
“会飞的变异蝗虫，是紫蝗虫吗？”高寒分辨了一下。
钟离庭洲是一等强者，眼力比他更好，“是紫蝗虫没错。”
高寒顿时皱了下眉，“我记得紫蝗虫是蝗虫类中攻击力最强的，它们居然是游隼的手下，真要发起攻城战，这些紫蝗虫怕是会成为攻城的主力之一，我们再往前，看看还有哪些变异生物。”
两人又继续往前摸，踩着落日的余辉。
太阳即将下山，主灾区又开始进入黑暗中，稍微密一点的森林里，已经漆黑一片。
这也正是他们的优势，因为空中时不时有变异生物巡逻，白天的话容易被发现，晚上行动最好。
这片山区不小，不过树林也很密，两人身影一闪而过，空中的变异生物根本来不及发现，两道融入黑暗中的身影。
不一会，他们就进入游隼的领地范围。
这里树反而没有那么茂盛，黑暗中隐约可以看到，这些树木都被人为的砍过，地上还有绿色的落叶。
“这些变异生物还真是聪明。”高寒感慨一声。
如果不把树的枝桠砍掉，人只要藏在树上或树下，天空巡逻的变异生物未必可以发现。
没得到回应，高寒扭头看向钟离庭洲，只见他一脸疑惑地盯着面前一棵树。
“宝宝，你看这棵树，像不像你在找的蓝皮树？”
高寒一惊，仔细地端详几秒，得出一个无语的结论：“居然真是蓝皮树，不过……”
钟离庭洲挑眉。
“这棵蓝皮树的年龄不高，应该只有一两百年。”
高寒一边说，一边看附近的树，发现都是蓝皮树。
要不是枝干纷纷被砍，天又黑了，他也不会第一时间没认出来，居然无意中找到了蓝皮树。
“在其他灾区，一两百年的蓝皮树，也都被砍完了。”钟离庭洲说。
高寒仔细查看一下四周，片刻后才说：“我要是没猜错的话，这些被砍的蓝皮树，有可能是外围的，里面的蓝皮树，年份更高。”
“我们岂不是误打误撞。”钟离庭洲忍着没吹一口哨。
“对，蓝皮树的生长习性和群居动物一样，年份更高的，一定在里面。”高寒迅速地分析下来，“不过……”
“又不过？”钟离庭洲撇嘴道，“我怎么发现，你现在说话都只说一半，故意吊人胃口？”
高寒撇撇嘴，“换了其他人来，不用我说，都知道蓝皮树的情况。”
也就是说，你觉得吊人胃口，不是他的话，而是你无知。
“男朋友，你这就过分了啊。”钟离庭洲不满地瞪大眼睛。
高寒淡定反问，“有吗？”
钟离庭洲用力点点头，仿佛为了印证事实，“当然有。”
高寒哦地一声，“那肯定是你的错觉，我什么也没说，你要这么想，我也没办法。”
钟离庭洲叹气，“牙尖嘴利，你已经不是以前的你，你变了。”
高寒觉得好笑，“是吗，大概托你的福吧，有个话痨男友在身边，多少也会近朱者赤。”
钟离庭洲立刻说：“这锅我不背。”
高寒突然觉得这对话有点熟悉，想起之前自己也说过一样的话，刚要学他一样，忽然又闭嘴了，给他一个‘我才不会上你当’的眼神。
钟离庭洲失望不已，反应怎么突然变得这么快了。
