The soldier smiled bitterly and said:
"In fact... there really wasn't any, but our people found this at the scene."
After he finished saying this, he had someone bring a large water jar over. The water in the jar was turbid red and was shaking, but there was a severed arm inside that was floating in the water.
Half of the arm's tissue is flesh-red, while the other half has a distinct silver-white metal fracture, which is a typical mechanically modified human limb.
But the most important thing is that this arm was shrouded in a layer of terrifying black flames!!
The black flames kept roaring and raging, burning fiercely. Even underwater, they still burned extremely fiercely, as if they were not restrained by any flames at all.
The muscle tissue of the arm enveloped by the flames clearly showed signs of decay and withering, and looked as old as an old man in his seventies or eighties. It turned out that the black flame had the unique ability to absorb vitality!
Seeing this arm, Du Yuqi was still studying the strange phenomenon on this arm, but the reaction of the Whip of Redemption next to him was very great. He took a big step forward, raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:
"This... this is the power of original sin!"
Whip of Redemption said as he reached deep into the water and scooped up the arm! The black flames immediately spread up his arm. It can be seen that the skin of Whip of Redemption that was passed by the black flames quickly became covered with wrinkles, making him look very old.
But in the next second, dense blood beads suddenly seeped out from the pores of the Whip of Redemption's skin. These blood beads were probably only the size of a needle tip, and kept rolling on the surface of the skin. After the black flame encountered these blood beads, it actually began to shrink rapidly and extinguished. In the end, it seemed as if it had been tamed and was directly absorbed into his body.
After the Whip of Redemption absorbed the flames, it closed its eyes and stood silently in place, with no expression on its face, but its entire body was still shaking slightly.
After a long while, the Whip of Redemption opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a long breath. After exhaling this long breath, he slowly said in the air:
"He's here."
When he said this, the Whip of Redemption had a mixed expression of joy and sorrow on his face. At this time, the deputy leader of the Steel Bear Knights also hurried over. After hearing this, he was stunned:
"He's coming?"
The Whip of Redemption silently looked at his hand at this time - the palm that absorbed the black flame, and sighed:
"What an incompetent descendant! He actually caused the loss of the most important sacred object of his ancestors, and finally even alarmed the ancestor who was in seclusion!"
As soon as he heard the word "ancestor", Du Yuqi reacted immediately and knew who the "he" these people were talking about was!
He was a powerful figure who now only existed in legends, a strong man who had been famous in Arad many years ago, the founding leader of the Avengers, the ancestor of the Whip of Redemption, the elder brother of Galanthis...Nilbas Gracia!
During the Battle of Shatli, the historic Minsk Cathedral was destroyed in the war, and the sacred object in the Minsk Cathedral, "Holy Silver Cross of Galanthis", disappeared quietly. Galanthis was the biological sister of Neilbas and an iconic figure in the history of the cathedral. The disappearance of her relics was definitely not a trivial matter.
Even though the strong men of the older generation either died one after another or no longer cared about worldly affairs, for Neilbas, he had to get back his sister's relics.
It is not unacceptable for such a strong man who has left his mark in history to directly destroy a secret base of the Zero Organization. On the contrary, it makes people feel that it is "natural".
The real name of the Whip of Redemption is Moya Gracia, and he is also a member of the Gracia family. Therefore, after the Flame of Original Sin left by Nilbass sensed that they had the same bloodline, it would not harm him and was willing to be absorbed by him.
Just when everyone was beaming with joy, a few soldiers came hurriedly and presented the things they had seized from the secret base. Since everyone present could trust him, the deputy commander did not hide anything.
Du Yuqi took a peek and found that half of the burnt document was covered with a gold stamp. The stamp looked very familiar. It was actually the head of Medusa!
"Could it be that she is here too?"
Seeing this mark, Du Yuqi immediately recalled the past. Did the enemy who had been mysteriously existing in the dark also come to Kantwin and enter such a huge vortex?
At this time, the Whip of Redemption's expression became even more solemn, and he said slowly:
"I read a lot of very valuable things from the Flame of Original Sin of my ancestors. The enemy is more powerful than I thought. Although their secret base was destroyed, it was able to injure my ancestors! This shows that their war potential is very strong. Fortunately, I learned about this situation in advance. Now I will issue the Golden Temple Order to gather enough people to come."
After saying that, the Whip of Redemption turned and left. The deputy leader of the Steel Bear Knights also looked unhappy. The stronger the enemy, the greater the pressure on their side. He hurriedly shouted:
"Your Excellency! Wait a moment!"
The Whip of Redemption turned around and frowned:
"What is it?"
The deputy head hesitated for a moment and said:
"The opponent is very powerful, and even Master Nilbath was injured. If that's the case, why not invite Master to come to our Knights' station to serve? We can also handle some trivial matters for Master?"
The Whip of Redemption shook his head slightly and said:
"The ancestor was corrupted by the blood curse back then. Although he managed to control himself, the path he took was destined to be different from others. In fact, he has entered a realm that ordinary people cannot understand. Simply put, he is about to become one with the laws of the world. He is like a volcano, storm, or tsunami. He has no intention of hurting anyone, but once the distance is shortened to a certain extent, it will cause serious harm to others."
"In fact, for him to interact with others normally, he actually has to suppress his own strength by force, so he can only be alone away from the crowd. For him, suppressing his own strength by force is a very difficult thing, just like preventing a volcano from erupting or the sea from surging. Therefore, he will not interact with ordinary people unless it is absolutely necessary."
After hearing the words of the Whip of Redemption, the rest of the people felt as if their eyes had been opened. They felt that Neilbas's strength was truly unfathomable, and that he must have completely transcended the human life form. But on second thought, such a terrifying strong man was actually injured in front of the Zero Organization. The opponent's combat strength can only be described as unfathomable!
…
After staying at the Steel Bear Knights headquarters for a while, Du Yuqi checked the dozen or so wounded who were still being treated here, and found that these people were recovering very well. Because of their good foundation and strong physical fitness, it was almost impossible for any accidents to happen to them. He simply said hello and then returned to his residence to reunite with his companions.
After returning and talking with a group of people, Du Yuqi told Lin about what had happened before. Lin smiled bitterly and sighed after listening, because the character of the Whip of Redemption is very stubborn, and it is very difficult to reverse it once an inherent impression is formed.
However, Du Yuqi also felt that he didn't have to deal with him. This kind of dispute of pride was not a huge hatred that could not be resolved. At worst, everyone would just become strangers from now on. Besides, there was Lin here to negotiate.
Lin thought about it carefully and felt that what Du Yuqi said was true, so he stopped trying to resolve the conflict between Du Yuqi and the Whip of Redemption.
This time, Du Yuqi went to treat the wounded people of the Steel Bear Knights. Although he did not mention any medical fees, he was highly regarded by the Steel Bear Knights. It can be said that he made a lot of extra money. Not only did he get more than 20 bottles of high-quality healing potions, but also several thousand small colorless crystals, not to mention gold coins, a total of three boxes.
It would be a complete waste for Du Yuqi to use these healing potions by himself, so when he saw his companions, he naturally gave each of them a bottle. At the same time, among the many bad news, there was also a good news, that is, he finally contacted Mingxi and others. After hearing about their current predicament, he immediately shouted to come. However, Mingxi and Duize were affiliated with the organization, so it was not so easy for them to leave, but they would come as soon as possible.
Du Yuqi was also very happy after hearing the news. These three people had fought side by side before, and they could be said to be very powerful. Duize's long-range sniping and reconnaissance capabilities, Mingxi's explosive power to accumulate a large number of cannon fodder summons on the battlefield in a short period of time, and Changmei's erudition were all irreplaceable. With them, Du Yuqi would be more confident in fishing in troubled waters in the upcoming big storm.
At this time, Du Yuqi also planned to take a rest, so he returned to his room and did a simple wash. At this time, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened it, he found that it was Yangzi's friend Waterli.
This woman has been wearing a purple veil for a long time, and there is an indescribable mysterious aura about her, as if she is surrounded by fog. However, her eyes are so clear that it makes people feel unreal. It is thanks to her help that Du Yuqi and his companions were able to settle down completely after arriving in Kantwin.
