Chapter 813 (1/2)
Soon, Lin Beichen found a very terrible thing.
There are more ”enemies” in this wilderness than we thought.
The Centaur tribe, which brought pressure to the North Sea empire before, is just one of the numerous ”monsters” that roam and live in the wilderness.
And it's a relatively weak one.
Along the way, Lin Beichen saw all kinds of strange creatures.
There are six armed demons with one head but six arms, creatures with thunder and lightning horns that look like grass mud horses, one eyed trolls with two heads and big noses, ancestors with wings and can't fly like ostriches, and even six legged monsters like big crabs
”I'm afraid the creator of this world has drunk too much?”
Make a hammer hastily.
It's irresponsible.
The more Lin Beichen looked, the more strange he felt.
All the monsters we saw along the way, whether they were humanoid or beast like in appearance, whether their intelligence was high or low, could only be described in one word——
Ugly.
If you have to add one more word, it is——
Fierce.
Ugly and fierce.
It's also very barbaric.
These ugly, fierce and savage monsters occupy different areas of the wilderness as territory, like Achnatherum splendens in the barren Gobi, living at will
Lin Beichen has no experience as a scouting.
But he observed it very carefully.
Monsters have a strong sense of territory.
Basically, each ethnic group occupies a water source and radiates in all directions. According to the strength of ethnic groups, the territory size varies.
Most of the time they attack each other, becoming hunters and hunted.
Perhaps this wilderness is too barren, water scarcity, and lack of vegetation, almost all monsters are carnivores.
They get their food by killing creatures outside the population.
Lin Beichen had seen dozens of ”six armed demons” who were probably starving. They secretly ambushed and killed dozens of ancestral birds with stone spears. Before the ancestral birds died, they began to pluck their hair, eat and drink blood.
But it was soon chased by a large group of ancestral birds, which eventually led to a bloody and brutal scuffle between the two groups
Bloody fighting and death are the main theme.
It happens all the time in this wilderness.
A primitive and bloody chaotic order enveloped the wilderness.
”Maybe it's because the environment is too bad, maybe it's because of the different laws of heaven and earth, so these creatures have strong individual combat power. In each group, there are chieftains who are comparable to level 3 or 4 Heaven and man...”
”Even ordinary individuals are generally around the master of martial arts, and even cubs have the destructive power of great martial arts division level...”
”Gan.”
”These monsters are a little too strong.”
The more Lin Beichen looked, the more frightened he was.
Not to mention other dangerous creatures, the more than a dozen barbaric monster groups we met along the way were not able to be brushed by the Beihai imperial examination team.
If you really leave the deserted ancient city and encounter more than two groups of such monsters in the wild, under siege, there is a 99% probability that the group will be destroyed.
The experts, including the emperor of Beihai and the left prime minister, are afraid that they can only run away with corpses or find a way to buy live ones.
”According to the Beihai emperor, there should be an ancient city to the west, which is the target to be conquered by the Beihai assessment team.”
Lin Beichen continued to fly west.
Then he found another strange phenomenon.
Every time the color of the sky gradually changes to crimson, there will be an inexplicable wildness between heaven and earth.
For an outsider like him, it has little influence.
If you don't experience it carefully, it's even hard to detect it.
But for the demons living on the ground, it's like injecting a dose of fury. They will immediately become angry and bloodthirsty. They will cross territory to kill other groups, and even attack each other within the groups
”So, after the sky turned crimson, the attack on the deserted ancient city was not a strange setting, but because the Centaurs at that time were influenced by this boiling wild atmosphere and began to be bloodthirsty and warlike, attacking the ancient city?”
”But what is the reason for the discoloration of the sky?”
Question marks flashed in Lin Beichen's mind.
As he ate the kebab and hummed, he continued to fly forward.
Finally, when he was about 500 li away from the deserted ancient city, his spirit was boosted.
Because on the ground below, there are traces of higher intelligent biological activities.
He saw more than a dozen ”farmlands” in the gentle terrain.
These ”farmlands” are divided and protected by high stone walls, which should be to prevent crops from being destroyed by monsters.
There are some strange crops in the field, which look like fruit trees, with durian like fruits hanging on the branches.
There are also some huge and ancient totem stone statues scattered around the farmland, giving Lin Beichen the feeling that they are like scarecrows set up in the fields by the farmers' uncles on the earth in the past to scare the birds
With farmland, there should be intelligent creatures, right?
Further on, Lin Beichen saw a strange mountain.
The reason why we use ”weird” to describe it is because the new clothes of this mountain are totally unreasonable.
It's like a square cut off from a complete mountain by some terrible being. There are five or six hundred meters high cliffs in front, back, left and right. Only the top of the mountain is relatively gentle.
And a black ancient city, located on the top of the mountain.
Lin Beichen had a familiar feeling as soon as he saw it.
Because the size, layout and style of the black ancient city are very similar to the abandoned ancient city occupied by the Beihai assessment team.
The difference is that the walls here are higher.
Forty meters below the wall is light yellow rock, and forty meters above it is black.
After careful comparison, Lin Beichen came to a conclusion——
The light yellow part of the city wall is more ancient and mottled. It is full of the traces of years' carving. It should be the original height of the ancient city. The black city wall more than 60 meters above it belongs to the ”illegal building” that was later built.
If the 60 meter old building is demolished, it will be another deserted ancient city.
After being covered, the wall is very thick and about 20 meters wide.
You can run horses along the wall.
Every hundred meters, there stands a ten meter human sculpture like a tower, which looks like a defensive tower in the summoner canyon.
The figures patrolling the city wall are
”Terran?”
Lin Beichen had a look of joy in his eyes.
Those figures are humanoid creatures.
Terrans, to be precise.
They are as like as two peas in human form.
The figures on the wall should be soldiers of this group.
Their hair is black, their skin is yellow, and their average height is about two meters. Their animal skin and armor are simple, simple, and even crude. They cover the waist, hip, heart and other key parts. Their limbs are naked, and their exposed muscles are as explosive as Huang Yan's carving
They use some kind of weapons made of black metal. The style of the weapons is rough and simple. They even lead the domesticated ancestor birds to fight with the pet
A rich style of primitive people from different worlds.
Lin Beichen began to get excited.
Finally, in this world, we can see the existence of intelligent people besides ugly demons.
Is this the force Beihai assessment group needs to conquer?
But if there is a certain degree of civilization, does it mean that there can be some level of communication?
For example, they can be conquered by means of charm.
In this way, we can avoid war and complete the so-called ”unification” required by the assessment task.
After all, Lin is a staunch pacifist fan.
He always adheres to the principle of ”if you don't offend me, I'm not a criminal, if you offend me, I'll be a damned criminal”. As long as you don't force yourself in front of him, he seldom takes the initiative to attack.
If the intelligent people in the black city can communicate, why do they have to fight?
Isn't it good to be influenced by love?
First observe.
What is the strength of this ”force”?
Lin Beichen approached carefully, but did not show up for the first time.
Look down from the sky.
Most of the inner area of this black stone city is ”farmland”, accounting for more than 90% of the total area of the city. The ”crops” in it are the same as those in the ”farmland” in the small plain outside the city. But I don't know why, most of them are withered
The simple stone houses and courtyards made of black rocks are scattered around these withered wasteland. Few two-story buildings can be seen, but high-rise buildings are completely invisible.
What surprised Lin Beichen was that the number of ”people” in the city was far less than he had estimated at the beginning.
”Only about five or six hundred people?”
It's too small.
Compared with the previous centaurs, they are far from each other.
He hid in the dark and continued to observe.
”The individual combat power is not as good as the monsters in the wilderness...”
”The average soldier is about the combat power of Dawu division level...”
”They also seem to be practicing. Some of the soldiers at the captain level are as powerful as the martial arts masters...”
”A few are comparable to heaven and man.”
”Maybe there are strong ones hidden in it, but the number should be very small, because I don't feel any danger within this distance...”
”It may be concluded that without this strange mountain and this ancient city plus, this suspected human tribe will disappear from this small world if it doesn't last ten days...”
”Wait a minute?”
”The demon tribe has the strength to approach the existence of no five or six level heaven and man. According to the truth, no matter how high the city wall is, is there any secret weapon of this Terran tribe?”
