Chapter 276: The Depths of Devil's Mountain
The next morning, Ferren, who had enough food and drink, took Kurona, Franka and Delin back to the camp, and then met Maria, whose eyes were red and she had not slept all night. After seeing Ferren, Maria immediately told him with a serious expression that the camp was attacked last night, and their devil was also injured, and it was probably necessary to rest for a while before she could set off.
Then Maria asked Feiren curiously who the girl who was following him and wrapped in a black robe. After all, Maria remembered clearly that when Feiren left yesterday, only Delin, Franka and Kurona followed him. Why did there be another one that night? Could it be that Feiren has any special hobbies and likes to capture women?
However, when it comes to Maria's inquiry, Feiren's answer was simple and crude.
"Oh, this is the guy who attacked your camp last night."
After saying this, Faren turned around and left, and threw Shahr there directly. If it weren't for seeing that she was brought back by Faren, Maria would have probably tore her apart.
But even so, Shahr didn't feel very good. Although Feilun did not kill her directly, her treatment is definitely not good at the moment.
"Does this have to be done?"
At this moment, Shaer frowned, lowered his head, and looked at the iron chain in front of him - a dark collar similar to that worn by a pet dog was now wrapped around her neck, while the other section was tied with an iron chain and locked on the railing of the off-road vehicle. Needless to say, this was just treating himself as a pet.
"Although I agree to keep your life, I did not say that I agree to cooperate with you."
Faren, leaning against the driver's seat, closed his eyes and rested, shrugged his shoulders, looked at Shahr with a smile, and then spoke.
"At present, you are my prisoner, it's that simple. And... you don't have enough chips at the moment. When you have enough chips, let's talk to me about cooperation. Until then, this is the best treatment you can get."
“…………………”
Facing Feiron's answer, Shahr really had nothing to say. After all, Maria was still eyeing her. If she didn't want to be a prisoner in Feiron, Shahr could be sure that she would fall into the hands of Maria's group next time. She had already dealt with these demons last night, which was absolutely difficult. Shahr was unwilling to live with these strange and troublesome monsters, which would definitely not be a good experience.
Because Feiren found the culprit of attacking the camp, Maria naturally didn't need to be worried anymore. She simply took this opportunity to issue an order to rest. You must know that they didn't have a good rest all night yesterday, and they were worried about encountering hallucinations and other things. Now that he was finally caught by Feiren, Maria naturally wanted everyone to seize this time and relax. After all, the road ahead is still long.
Of course, Maria himself did not forget his mission and found Shahr for interrogation. However, she did not expect that Shahr was as obedient as a sheep in front of Feiron, but she did not say a word to the others. No matter what Maria asked her, she did not respond. Maria was so angry that she wanted to burn her directly. Feiron did not stop this, and he also wanted to see what Shahr would behave under the threat of Maria.
But the conclusion was really beyond Feilun's expectations. Of course, Maria did not dare to really kill Shahr. After all, it was Feilun who brought her back. Unless Feilun said in person that she could die, Maria would not dare to do so. But even so, it was not impossible to torture her or give her some suffering. But what surprised Feilun was that the fatal girl who looked weak before showed a very calm and extraordinary face to face Maria. No matter how Maria threatened her, she even had several times to burn a few holes in Shahr's face with burning wooden sticks or burned red iron sticks, but even so, Shahr was unmoved.
It is truly unmoved.
Feiren knew very well that Maria's threat was serious, and ordinary people could not resist this threat at all. Even those who were poisoned too deeply may not admit defeat, but they often rely on a ruthless spirit. But Shahr is different. When faced with Maria's threat, she really didn't take it seriously, and it was like a lofty god mocking the mortals. If Shahr said the truth, if she was a divine clone as she said, then she did have enough reason to disdain for mortals like Maria.
Unfortunately, Feren obviously would not believe this. In his opinion, Shaer's performance is simply a patient with advanced secondary disease. Strictly speaking, it has reached the level of "I am not me, but the world".
Although he could not get any information from Shar, after scaring her, Maria calmed down. Anyway, although everything Shar did yesterday seemed dangerous, it did not cause irreparable losses to Shuangye Town, and no one died. Although the demons were listless, according to the results of Maria and others' examinations, it was just the result of excessive overdrawing of power and was not injured. Therefore, both sides did not form a feud between life and death. Therefore, after Maria breathed out, she did not torment Shar again - or in other words, the failure of the other party to react was also one of the reasons why she stopped.
After resting for a long time, everyone set off again. However, this time the situation changed a little. Maria was driven to another car by Feilun, and Shar occupied Feilun's original passenger seat. As for Feilun, of course, he drove as an old driver to lead the way.
But this time, before everyone drove far, Maria immediately sent a message to Feren.
"What does this mean? Let's go find someone?"
When Faren also raised his brow and asked. Maria was obviously disgusted with this. She had a gloomy face and spoke with a very ugly expression.
"Who knows what those bastards think? They said that a special force lost its trace in Devil Mountain, and asked all of us to immediately disperse in all directions with the dome as the center, and be sure to find this team... Damn, this is not our person, why should we look for it too?"
"What is a special force?"
"I know."
Facing Feiron's inquiry, Maria spread her hands helplessly.
"We have never heard of any special troops at all, and there is no such number in the regular troops of Ten Towns, but the news was sent by the Governor of Libra Town to all the representatives of Ten Towns, so there should be no fakes."
"Where is that dome?"
“It’s right there.”
Looking along the place where Maria's fingers, Feiren clearly saw the so-called "dome" - it was actually a small mountain, but compared to the tops of other steep peaks, this peak looked a bit like the bald head of a monk, so there was such a name.
It doesn't seem very far away, but I run to death at the mountain...
"You believe their nonsense?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
Maria gave her own answer to Feiron's inquiry for granted. What is missing? This is covered by an energy network. How could there be such a ghost thing as losing contact and losing trace? Even if you can't find someone, you can still get in touch. Now you actually say that you can't find someone and you still lose contact... Then you will probably die.
But even so, they still have to look for it.
"Because this is an order issued by the governor of Libra Town... Anyway, we have not divided the scope, so we can just take it slowly."
Speaking of this, Maria's expression also became much more serious.
"After all, this is Devil Mountain."
That's right, according to Maria, this mountain range itself is very strange. For example, this "special troops disappearance incident" has happened more than once, which is why Ten Towns are so careful about this mountain range. However, Maria always feels that there is something wrong with this. This is why she chose to come alone this time and left the other two people behind to support her.
"In fact, I think the situation is a bit abnormal, Lord Feren."
While taking out the map and pointing at it, Maria spoke to Faren.
"This time, based on the coordinates issued by Libra Town, the place where we first searched for the 'secondary mutant creature' was deep in the Devil Mountain, and here, our ten towns would never get close to each other! This time, we decided to get close because of the target of 'secondary mutant creature', but..."
As he spoke, Maria gently tapped the map, and soon a circle appeared on it.
"This is the dome, Lord Feren, I think you have seen the problem."
"The location of the dome is a little deeper than the location they provided before..."
Of course Faren is not a fool. The map is so obvious. Of course he can see that the dome is located at the front of the search range provided by Libra. That is to say, if Libra is currently searching, it means that they will go deeper into the forest. This is why Maria said that she did not believe that there was a team missing from the dome. At this time, the teams in the ten towns may not have reached the meeting place that had been agreed upon before. Which team can grow wings and fly faster than others?
So, either there is a problem with this order or there is a problem with this so-called special force.
"What if we don't go? Could that group of people still eat us?"
"It is impossible not to go, Lord Feren."
Maria obviously had thought about Feiron's idea for a long time. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so they just opened a forest party here, and then turned around and reported that they had not found anything. How good is this? Unfortunately, Maria had to tell Feiron that this kind of tricky method cannot be done. Because...
"Libra has a very special soul equipment that can detect the location of each representative who communicates with the Governor. So……"
Speaking of this, Maria spread her hands and didn't continue to talk, so it would be obvious next time. If she didn't go, Libra Town would definitely find her cheating, but if Maria wanted to go, she would definitely not be alone in the strange and dangerous position of Devil Mountain. Then, in this way, they still have to move forward together... In terms of the results, there is no particularly big difference.
"What do you think about this?"
Thinking of this, Faren couldn't help but look at Shaer next to him and asked. However, Shaer's behavior was very calm when Faren's inquiry.
"How do I know what is in this ghost place? I came here with Sulun's believers. As for this place, I won't know more than you... But I can tell you that this ghost place is really strange... You better be careful."
Shahr's warning was the same as not, but Feiren didn't care. At least it could prove that it was really troublesome. Then what he had to do next would be very simple.
"keep going."
In the end, Faren made up his mind and made the decision.
After receiving Feilun's order, the convoy of Shiroye Town set off again and continued to move towards the depths of Devil Mountain. However, this time, they obviously did not have as smooth as before. Not to mention the mountain road that was difficult to walk on, in fact, along the way, Feilun already understood very well why Maria said that this place was very dangerous.
Because there are too many mutated creatures here.
"Crash!!"
A huge crocodile as big as a shark opened its bloody mouth and jumped out of the swamp. The body, which should have been extremely clumsy on land, was now as flexible as a swimming fish. The crocodile rushed up and rushed straight towards the off-road vehicle driven by Feiren.
The next moment, a mace falling from the sky smashed through the crocodile's skull and directly penetrated it into the abyss of death.
"It's really troublesome."
Looking at the crocodile's corpse not far away, Feiren shook his head, then he reached out and soon, the collection mode was unfolded, and the emerald green light shone on the crocodile's body and turned into dust. Then it condensed in Feiren's hand, and soon it turned into an energy chip.
But for Feren, this is obviously not satisfied because...
"There are too many things..."
