Monarch of Evernight: 177 Do you want me to help you?
bsp;Qianye has never felt that he has any attainments in the art of heaven, nor does he think that his intuition is very accurate. At least from what he heard from Song Zining, it is incomparable to the intuition of some women.
But now we must choose a direction to explore and find the empire's base in the maelstrom before we can hope to return. When there is no direction at the moment, it is crucial to understand the environment as much as possible. To understand the world, these indigenous intelligent races are undoubtedly the best way.
If it hadn't been for Li Kuanglan, Qianye himself would have gone deep into the forest to find out what the original race was like. But with her it was completely different. No matter what, Qianye must not let her fall into the hands of the native race, especially the four-armed people, otherwise her ending will be worse than death. Qianye believed that Li Kuanglan would rather commit suicide than end up like this.
But the four-armed man's white mist is extremely domineering. Once he is hit, he can't help it, even if he wants to die, it is impossible. Because of this, Qianye must be extremely cautious. Therefore, it was difficult to make a decision regarding Li Kuanglan's proposal.
At this moment, Li Kuanglan once again regained his usual coolness and said: "My injuries have been mostly healed. Except that I can't hold on at night, the battle is no longer hindered. Are you looking down on me if you don't dare to go?"
"Of course not, but..."
Li Kuanglan interrupted Qianye, "That's fine, let's go."
Seeing her persistence, Qianye made up his mind, followed the same pattern, and led Li Kuanglan across the river across the rocks and out of the forest again.
As soon as the two of them approached the forest, there was a scream above their heads, and a large net was used as a hood, trying to capture the two of them in one fell swoop.
How could such an almost primitive hunting method defeat the top talents of the younger generation of the empire? Li Kuanglan waved his sword and went to pick up the net. This was a taboo, but with a twist of Li Kuanglan's wrist, the blood-sucking blade picked up the big net and began to spin. Then she waved her hand, and the big net went back to where it came from, and covered the crown of a big tree. A two-armed hunter hiding there was wrapped tightly.
The hunter screamed and fell from the tree, hitting the ground hard. He groaned and couldn't get up.
At this time, Qianye had walked out of the forest, holding a double-armed hunter in each hand and throwing it to the ground. The arms and legs of the hunter who was lifted out by Qianye were all broken off, and he was no longer able to resist. These natives naturally have the ability to hide, and they almost blend in with the surrounding environment in the forest. However, they were invisible to Qianye's real vision and were easily picked out.
When the three two-armed hunters saw Li Kuanglan, they all had a physical reaction. Their eyes were fixed, and Li Kuanglan's face turned cold. He raised the blood-sucking blade and was about to cut them into pieces.
Qianye held her hand, shook his head and said, "There is no need to kill. Murder is also part of lust, so try to control it."
"I don't want to control!" Li Kuanglan said coldly.
Qianye knew that she had been irritable recently, but he was not angry. Instead, he tried to communicate with these two-armed hunters. However, after trying for a long time, there was no similarity between the two languages, so we had to give up. Qianye searched them again. Apart from some food and wine, there were just some odds and ends, of no use. But every hunter wears a small blue flower. This kind of blue flower is very small, but its petals are crystal clear. It seems to be made of crystal-like material. It is difficult to tell whether it is natural or artificially carved.
Looking at the flower disk, it should appear to be naturally grown, but the crystalline petals do not look natural. But each petal of the three blue flowers is different. Even the top master craftsmen in the empire cannot produce such delicate and superb craftsmanship. How can human craftsmen compare with the uncanny craftsmanship of nature?
Qianye collected the three blue flowers, and the two-armed hunters immediately struggled desperately, appearing extremely angry and frightened. It seemed that these blue flowers were extremely important to them.
Qianye knew that he couldn't ask anything from them, so he broke the limbs of the hunter in the net, covered the three of them together with a big net, and threw them at the edge of the forest. Anyway, these natives have strong vitality and tenacity, and they will not die without eating or drinking for several days.
Qianye pointed deep into the forest and said, "Let's go and see if we can find their lair."
Li Kuanglan nodded and followed Qianye deeper into the forest. These native races are all born hunters, and they know how to hide themselves and eliminate traces without training. However, both Qianye and Li Kuanglan were better hunters, especially Li Kuanglan, who was even better than Qianye in tracking and hunting skills. If Qianye hadn't had a true vision that was almost cheating, he would have been overwhelmed by her in all directions.
The two of them followed the traces left by the indigenous hunters and went deeper. After walking for about half a day, the number of indigenous traces they saw increased significantly, and new traces continued to come from the side and merge into them.
The two looked at each other and knew they were looking in the right direction, so they slowed down and became more careful.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the forest, and a group of indigenous people appeared in their sight. This group of natives is quite large, with five four-armed people and more than twenty two-armed people. They lined up and walked quickly. After they passed by, Qianye and Li Kuanglan quietly followed them.
Not long after following, a four-armed man suddenly appeared, knocked down the two-armed man next to him, and began to reproduce. The other four-armed people were not willing to lag behind and followed suit. Those with two arms who were not selected also formed several pairs of men and women and started doing it on the spot. This absurd scene made Li Kuanglan feel ashamed and angry, and he unconsciously leaned on Qianye.
Qianye was very nervous, watching closely the movements of the natives in the field, fearing that some four-armed man would spit out white mist again. Fortunately, the white mist of the four-armed man seems to be very precious and is not used for such internal activities.
After about half an hour, these natives ended their primitive and ancient entertainment and continued to move forward. Qianye pulled Li Kuanglan and signaled to continue following him. But when he pulled her, Qianye felt that she seemed to be a little weak again, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Seeing Qianye's gaze, Li Kuanglan lowered his head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's chirp: "I, I just couldn't control myself, so... it's almost the same as yesterday."
Qianye didn’t know how to answer, so he could only say: “Do you want me to help you?”
Li Kuanglan glared at him and said, "As long as you are willing!"
Qianye immediately did not dare to answer the conversation anymore. He pulled Li Kuanglan and continued to follow him. Fortunately, after the melee, the natives seemed to be very tired and their speed slowed down a lot, allowing the two of them to follow them easily.
After a while, the group of natives walked out of the forest and walked towards the foot of the distant mountain. At the foot of the rolling mountains, there is a large-scale stone castle. The stone castle is already somewhat dilapidated, with many collapsed gaps on the walls. Only the four towering towers at the four corners are still standing intact, showing great momentum. On the top of each tower stood a strong four-armed guard. The bow in his hand was much larger than what Qianye had seen the day before, and the design was also more sophisticated and complex.
The power of this bow is undoubted, and its range is enough to cover hundreds of meters. The four-armed guard on the top of the building is stronger than the four-armed woman, and may be the man in the clan.
Aborigines are constantly coming in and out of the stone castle. It seems that this tribe is very prosperous. But they seemed to have no intention of repairing the damaged city walls, and would rather spend their time on reproduction than work.
Qianye gestured to Li Kuanglan and asked her to stay in the forest while he walked along the edge of the forest and cautiously approached the stone castle.
After getting closer, through the gap in the stone wall, you can see that the stone castle is quite messy. Weeds are overgrown on both sides of the road, and various messy debris are piled around. There are many tall stone houses in the center with wide doors. All the people coming in and out are four-armed people. After observing for a while, Qianye finally determined that the four-armed people were both male and female. The males were rare and strong, nearly three meters tall, and obviously thicker than the women.
There is not much difference between men and women among the four-armed people. The reason why they can be distinguished is because of the nature of the natives to reproduce anywhere. A pair of four-armed beings couldn't wait to reproduce before they even entered the room.
Upon close observation, it can be seen that these four-armed people have ferocious faces. Both men and women have long or short fangs, protruding muzzles, and retain many of the characteristics of ferocious beasts. When necessary, biting will be their most powerful means.
In contrast, the two-armed natives have more human-like features and are closer in body shape. In the stone fortress, their residence is low and dilapidated, often a shack made of wood and rocks, with dozens of people packed into it. Not to mention comfortable, there may not even be a place to stay.
Qianye was a little curious about the relationship between the two-armed man and the four-armed man, so he approached quietly again, wanting to observe more carefully. At this time, a group of natives passed by. Qianye immediately restrained his breath and hid behind a tree. But a four-armed woman in the team suddenly stopped, raised her head and sniffed, her face showed confusion, and then walked towards Qianye's direction.
She walked and sniffed until she came to the big tree where Qianye was hiding. She walked around the tree several times, but found nothing. She wanted to search again, but another four-armed woman in the team roared, obviously impatient with waiting. This four-armed woman left unwillingly.
After the group of natives left, Qianye lightly jumped down from the top of the tree. His face was solemn. He didn't expect these natives to have such a keen sense of smell. If he hadn't activated his bloodline to lurk at the critical moment and restrained all his aura, he might have been discovered.
As a result, Qianye did not dare to approach the stone castle again. There seemed to be at least several hundred natives in the stone castle, including dozens of four-armed men, and among them there were a dozen obviously more powerful men. Even Qianye was not willing to challenge this large group of people alone. It's not that these natives are very powerful, it's just that the white mist is too disgusting.
After observing for a while, Qianye was ready to return. He was worried about Li Kuanglan now and did not dare to leave her alone for too long.
Just as he was about to leave, there was sudden chaos in the indigenous stone fort. The indigenous people were running around and shouting loudly. The stone castle was roaring, and I didn't know what was happening.
Qianye was refreshed, this was a God-given opportunity. To be honest, he really wanted to see what was hidden in the center of the stone castle. It might contain the secrets of the maelstrom world. Qianye took action immediately and sneaked towards the stone castle.
Just when they were less than a hundred meters away from the stone castle, the chaos inside the stone castle became even more intense. A figure suddenly appeared on the corner tower, and the four-armed guard who originally occupied this place fell down from the tower. He fell to the ground with a loud scream, twitching and unable to get up.
The figure jumped directly from the tower, stepped on the four-armed guard on the ground, jumped up using the force, and sprinted in the direction of Qianye.
After running a few steps, she suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground. She struggled to stand up and continued running, but her speed was obviously slower. A group of natives with two arms rushed behind her and caught up with her in a blink of an eye.
