Chapter 114 So, You Are Here (4K)
Polluted area, frontier observation point.
Two fully armed devil knights were moving forward on the muddy soil.
In their hands, they all held a staff that was completely inconsistent with the style of the equipment they were wearing. The top of the "staff" was inlaid with a gray-white crystal, and as they went deeper, the color of the crystal became darker.
When the color on the crystal turned dark gray, they stopped and looked around.
There was fog all around, and there were some granular things floating in the white fog, and no one knew what they were.
"This is the limit." One of the devil knights said to the other, "Captain, if we go deeper, our protective suits will not be able to cope with such a concentration of pollution. We need a purifier, or..."
Yuri, the captain of the Devil's Army, raised his hand towards his knight, signaling him not to continue. Then he tapped his neck, and a dull voice came from under the mask: "Check whether the emergency device is intact."
The knight nodded and began to check the emergency device under the mask.
Yuri continued to take two steps forward, while extending the staff in his hand further away. The crystal on the staff became heavier again and gradually turned black.
As my subordinates said, this place has indeed reached its limit.
If they go deeper, the protective suits they are wearing will not be very effective.
"Can't we create another Purification Crystal?" A subordinate's voice came from behind Yuri. "With that, how could we be trapped in this place for so long? In ten years, we haven't been able to reach the position of Eve Star ten years ago. It seems that we are much worse than them."
Yuri turned his head and looked at his complaining subordinate, mainly at his neck.
The subordinate raised his head and let Yuri see the device on his neck. There was a timer on the device, which was making a "ticking" sound.
This device looks like a trap, and its function is similar to that of a trap... that is, when activated, it will cut off the wearer's head in an instant.
The condition for it to start is that the timer on the device reaches the end.
Of course, this timer can be adjusted manually by winding it fully.
So as long as it is wound on time, the device will never start.
Yuri spoke up after noticing that his subordinates' strings were stretched to the limit.
"It's not that easy. Whether it's the Purification Source Crystal or this detector..." He pointed at the top of the "staff", "They are not our Tianqin's technology, but Shengyin's. We haven't traded with Shengyin in the past ten years. The Purification Source Crystal we once had is the last one. Even these detectors in our hands cannot be replaced if they are lost, so we have to be extra careful."
After hearing what Yuri said, his subordinates said indignantly, "It was Xiaoxing who lost the Purification Source Crystal, but we have to bear the cost."
Facing his angry subordinates, Yuri said calmly: "They left their lives here, isn't that the price they paid?"
The subordinates were suddenly choked.
He raised his head and looked into the misty distance. After a while, he whispered, "The price we paid is no less than theirs. We are also sacrificing."
“So you don’t want to be blamed for your sacrifice.”
This subordinate really has nothing to say.
Yuri was also looking into the distance.
According to records, they will soon be able to reach the point where Xiaoxing was once recorded.
Ten years ago, that heroic team, led by that heroic captain, went deep into a territory that had never been entered before, and no one except the captain came back, and the captain also lost his memory.
Why they left and what happened to them, no one knows until now.
But their departure changed the fate of many people.
The most direct one is them - the second generation of pioneer troops devil. They are not treated like heroes like the Vesperia in the past. In order to prevent them from being polluted and rebelling like the Vesperia, they are regarded as more dangerous and have more "locks" on them, such as the device on their necks, which was not on the Vesperia Knights in the past.
And because they lost their only purification source crystal, the devil troops now have to pay a greater price and make greater sacrifices when entering the contaminated area.
All of this has made the devils have a very bad impression of their former predecessors.
This is especially true for the captain of that unit.
Thinking of this, Yuri suddenly thought of Ina again.
She joined the Devil's Army because she wanted to find something, right?
Hmm... that's a bit far-fetched.
Yuri shook his head and then rewound the emergency device, while listening to his subordinates saying, "So the Purification Source Crystal must have been lost in there by them, right? I don't know if it has broken down after all these years. If it hasn't, can we still recycle it? After all, the contaminated land can only contaminate living things, and things like the Purification Source Crystal will not be affected."
"That's just theoretical. Who knows what's in the deepest part of the contaminated area?" Yuri had obviously thought about this question before, and said, "If the purification source crystal is really effective, Xiaoxing wouldn't be the only one who came back, and..."
He paused.
"Even if the Purification Source Crystal is not contaminated, it is surrounded by a large number of medium-sized or even large-sized pollutants. Although those pollutants are not interested in the Purification Source Crystal, even if they accidentally pass by it, they are enough to cause devastating damage to it."
"...I hope they can take a detour." The subordinate shrugged and asked, "Captain, should we go back? We can't go any deeper with our current equipment, right?"
Yuri said, "Okay, mark the coordinates, we'll come back later... Okay?"
He suddenly felt something was wrong.
The muddy soil under my feet was shaking slightly, like boiling water.
"What's going on?" The subordinate also noticed this and immediately became alert. "Is there any medium-sized pollutant passing by nearby?"
Yuri didn't say anything, but quickly leaned down, put his hand into the mud, and felt the earth beneath it.
The earth is shaking.
"Captain, Captain!" The subordinates suddenly made a terrified voice, "Look what that is?!"
Yuri raised his head immediately.
Through the mask, Yuri saw a scene that he would never forget.
Countless pollutants are pouring out from the deepest part of the contaminated area.
These monsters, which were supposed to have no intelligence, were now running towards the same place like migrating animals, and the noise they made made the earth tremble.
And where they are going is obviously...
After a brief moment of surprise, Yuri drew out the sword hanging at his waist and twisted the hilt.
Then the sword tip was ignited by flames.
"Notify the camp!" Yuri shouted to his men, "The pollutants are running rampant... Fight them! We must not let them invade Tianqin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge shadow enveloped him.
He looked up and saw a huge pollutant coming in front of him.
…
clang.
Deni also lit the blade.
Although he didn't know what exactly happened, he saw the changes in Yongxin.
Now only bones are left of Yongxin, and his flesh and blood are scattered all over the office like flying dandelions.
But the drifting dandelions make people feel beautiful.
The floating flesh and blood will only make people feel cold.
This change is obviously not something that humans can achieve.
The only possibility is... pollutants!
The rules of the devil's army state that if a person shows any inhuman changes, no matter what the changes are or who the person is, he must be executed immediately to avoid contamination and invasion of Tianqin.
And now, this obvious pollution has erupted, and it is inside Lyra, in the core Tower of Babel.
Denis also thought about calling for help, but the problem was that it was late at night, there were few people in the entire Tower of Babel, and most of the Skeleton Army was still outside searching for Gerald's whereabouts. He didn't know where to find anyone, and if he left rashly, would the filth spread directly?
By then it will be too late.
Thinking of this, Deni found that he only had one choice.
That is, to kill the source of pollution!
Even if the other party was Yongxin, the most powerful person in the four districts after the death of Bishop Holman, he was also the one he wanted to curry favor with.
Deni strode forward with the burning sword in his hand, ready to kill the monster in front of him.
But when he came in front of him, he was stunned.
Because he didn't know... where to cut.
At this moment, the only part of Yongxin's body that still had a human form was a pile of dry bones, and this pile of dry bones looked like it would fall apart at any time.
But he didn't have time to think so much, so he could only cut towards the place with the most skeletons.
However, even this attack failed.
With a "clang" sound.
The flaming sword was grasped by an arm that had already turned to bones.
"what are you up to?"
Yongxin's voice came from all directions.
Denis was stunned.
Because he saw the flesh and blood floating in the room quickly returning to the dry bones. The little bit of superposition and accumulation made the dry bones quickly take on a new look.
In less than a minute, Yongxin was back to normal.
He sat quietly in the chair with a calm expression, looking no different from before, as if nothing had happened.
But his hand was still holding the flaming blade of Deni.
The palm that was burned by the flames kept making a "hissing" sound, but he seemed not to feel it.
"You are a little too nervous." Yong Xin slowly pushed back the tip of Deni's sword. "Put away your sword, Mr. Deni. Nothing happened tonight."
Deni looked down at the sword that was pushed back.
Yongxin's body has not undergone any modifications, and his arms have long been replaced with prosthetic limbs. Logically speaking, the strength of the two should not be at the same level.
But Yongxin pushed his sword back lightly.
"Nothing happened tonight?"
"Yes, Mr. Denis, nothing happened tonight." Yongxin looked at Denis and said lightly, "Just now, I just felt a little uncomfortable. Ah... By the way, Mr. Denis, I have always heard that you seem to want to be transferred back from the Devil Corps, right?"
Yongxin talked to Deni as if he was just chatting about family matters.
"In fact, I can completely understand that after staying on the front line for a long time, you will want to change your life."
Deni understood what Yongxin meant. He was silent for a while and asked, "Can you help me?"
"Why not?" Yong Xin smiled at Deni, "You should know that this is not a difficult task for me."
Denis did not answer immediately.
Yong Xin added slowly, "Moreover, Mr. Denis, you should know that some words are not so easy to make others believe, and if you say them out loud, people will think you are crazy."
Deni's pupils narrowed slightly.
Yongxin's words reminded Deni of a lonely figure.
...So, is that how it is?
"Think it over carefully, Mr. Denis." Yongxin leaned back in his chair and looked at Denis. "I believe you will make a more correct choice. Zhuxin Club welcomes you to join."
Deni stared at Yongxin for a long time.
After a while, he nodded: "I understand, nothing happened tonight."
Yongxin smiled and nodded: "Very good."
Having made the decision, Deni saluted Yongxin, then put away his sword, turned around and prepared to leave.
But when he tried to open the door, he found it was locked.
Yong Xin sighed behind him: "It's a pity, Mr. Deni, you still made another choice... To be honest, it's a loss, because dawn is about to come, but you chose to die before dawn."
Deni's body stiffened slightly, but he did not turn around. He just whispered: "I don't understand what you mean."
Yongxin hooked his finger gently.
Then, a piece of bloody flesh flew out from between Deni's clenched fist and quickly returned to Yongxin's body.
"This is my flesh and blood." Yong Xin said lazily, "Where else do you want to take him?"
Before Yongxin finished his words, Deni's sword was unsheathed again, and the flames that ignited once again tore through the darkness in an instant.
The next second, he rushed to Yongxin, with the sword pointing directly at Yongxin's head.
"That's why I said..." Yongxin said softly, "It's a pity."
After a while, a man in a black robe pushed open the door of the office and saw a body lying in a pool of blood.
"Lord Yongxin, this is..."
Yong Xin glanced at the man in black robe and said calmly, "It's just a small accident. Clean it up quickly. It will be dawn soon."
The man in black robe nodded repeatedly, and then immediately cleaned up the messy office.
Yongxin didn't say anything after that. He just looked out the window quietly, feeling uneasy.
Denis was just a minor incident.
But what made him wary was the sudden change that had just occurred for unknown reasons.
Although [Domination] eventually returned to his body, the reason was not clear.
And one more thing,
From the beginning, he had a feeling.
It seems that someone
Watching him.
…
In Taoyuan Township, Bai Wei slowly withdrew his hand that was touching the giant tree, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"turn out to be,"
“You are here.”
Alas, I wanted to take a day off to relax and adjust my schedule, but I was severely reprimanded by the editor. He also said that the boss Qingting has been watching me, saying that it is no wonder that my average subscription cannot increase, and the update is so slow, which makes me extremely ashamed!
My first order was over 10,000! I'm so decadent!
Starting today! Explosive update!
I'm not on schedule anymore, I'll be writing all night! I'll update another chapter in the early morning!
Ah, I am so moved by myself.
So I want a monthly ticket.jpg
