Chapter 255: The Retreating Beast


Cui Ming may be the first outsider to enter the interior of the Secluded City in decades, and even the inhabitants have never entered the Secluded City.The Secluded City is located at the top of the mountain range, two 300-meter-long concrete streets, structured in a zigzag-like structure, with four elders living at one end each, and a five-meter stone bridge connecting to a hill on the side of the central road, where there is a pagoda-shaped building.This is where the lord of the castle lives.This place is only accessible to Sardinia, who goes there every three to ten days to bring some necessities with him.As for whether there was anyone inside, only Sardinia knew.As a result of three earthquakes, the stone bridge has collapsed, the concrete road has collapsed and cracked, and the weeds that are not visible to people and grow everywhere make it look very depressed and desolate like an abandoned town.Sardinia's home is not small, the main building is a one-story wooden house, very large, with a total of ten rooms.An oasis is planted on the left side of the house, and on the right is a ten-square-meter spring that flows down the cliff.The main area is a vacant lot in front of the house.The clearings are surrounded by mana pillars with powerstones floating on them, and their central ground has all kinds of strange characters, and they will continue to glow continuously.Cui Ming's magic knowledge is barren and terrifying, looking at this magic array, he doesn't know how powerful he is.Sardin didn't explain, so he asked Cui Ming to sit down at the green bamboo position, and a young woman who was in charge of serving Sardinia brought tea.Cui Ming expressed his gratitude, watched the messenger leave, and asked, "Satin, many people think that the most valuable thing in the Quiet City is that it can create magic for savages. ”"That's right, a lot of people have ideas, especially the Dawning Empire.The Dawning Empire has been looking for ways to increase its military capabilities.The most direct is undoubtedly the cultivator super soldier. ”Sardin glanced at the busy messenger: "But few people know that messengers cannot be manufactured in batches. ”Sardinia would definitely not tell Cui Ming how to make a messenger, in fact, Sardin himself didn't understand.This is a secret technique researched by the founder and second-generation city lord of the Secluded City three hundred years ago.Sardinia only knew that there were several conditions to become a messenger, female, around fifteen years old was the best, and in order to ensure the loyalty of the messenger, all the messengers were selected by Sardinia.Sardinia chose women from civil war countries, who were generally under the age of ten, because many women from civil war countries who were fifteen years old were used as strategic resources.Then the envoys will watch over and educate these little girls in the three continents, and when they are fifteen years old, Sardinia will ask them for their opinions, and if they are willing to become envoys and serve the city of Secluded for fifteen years, then they can be sent to the city lord.At present, Sardin has selected a total of twenty-one girls, and the success rate of becoming a messenger is 100gt, and there have also been cases of messengers defecting due to love, and there are even examples of the Dawning Empire bribing and deceiving messengers, but unfortunately, the messengers don't know much, they only know that they sit in the room according to the requirements, and then pass out, there is no pain and other discomfort, and they have a certain amount of force after waking up, and then Sardin teaches them the basic six elements, the strength of the messengers is very mediocre, and some people can't even comprehend their own hair.Those who defected and were bought, naturally, died.After ten to fifteen years of service, they can return to the Three Continents with a large amount of money to start a new life of their own, and the only requirement is that they must not divulge the secrets of the Quiet City.With them leaving, their Force slowly faded, and after one to two years, they were no longer possessed by the Force and no longer under the control of the elders, just like ordinary women.Cui Ming said: "I didn't expect you to let me come to the interior of Secluded City. ”Sardin said: "There are no secrets inside the Quiet City, that's it, it's just a bigger house, a larger magic array, and there is no rule that you can't meet friends."

It's just that we're worried that the guests will gather here and disturb us, so we don't allow the guests to enter the interior of the Secluded City.To put it bluntly, we are just a few people who learn the forbidden arts that the alliance does not allow, and in order to survive, we formed the Quiet City, just to protect ourselves. ”Cui Ming said: "Blood magic and dark magic are banned by the alliance, there is a reason for being banned, and it endangers the objective existence. ”"Yes."

Sardin does not deny: "In general, practicing dark magic is the most stupid thing to do.If you don't grasp the power of the Void quickly, your mind will be affected.But the power of the void is not so simple, there is only one prophet in the world. ”"En" Sardin explained: "My power of the void is a gift from the city lord, it is very complicated, simply put, I did not practice dark magic, and with the help of the city lord, I comprehended the power of the void from the force.Speaking of the topic just now, the real power is blood magic, and the mixed force is very powerful. ”"Agreed."

I can't disagree with this, Fra, a magician, actually has a stronger vitality than the specialized enhancement system."

But those who practice blood magic must know moderation, and like smoking, it will grow with time and become more and more addictive.Once a boundary is breached, the blood magic cultivator himself cannot transform such a large amount of foreign blood, and slowly accumulates into a lot, and in the end can only be destroyed by his own desires.It's very helpless, in the early years, the Secluded City was a paradise for magical cultivators, everyone was very sober, communicated with each other, and also perfected the books and literature of the Secluded City.It's a pity that the alliance admitted its mistake and changed the discrimination against the magic system, because of geographical reasons, many magicians don't come to the Quiet City. ”Cui Ming is a little strange that Sardin talks too much, the truth is that for so many years, Sardin has lacked face-to-face communication partners.He had a good impression of Cui Ming, so he said more.Of course, there is also what Cui Ming doesn't know, the Quiet City is almost finished, because there is no suitable heir to the city lord, and the city lord also allows the magicians to mess around on the island of the Quiet City.In less than five years, the Quiet City will be destroyed like a critical place, swallowed by the sea.There will be no more secluded cities.The two chatted and drank tea, and soon the sun set, and three messengers arrived with food, and they barely spoke, set up the table, lit candles, and quietly left.Half an hour later, the toad arrived, he came alone, still so ugly, with a big head, he liked to stick his tongue out and lick his lips, and saliva fell downwards.Satin stood up and walked to the table: "Toad, it's finally here, take a seat." ”Sardin didn't introduce it, the two knew each other, Toad and Cui Ming walked to the table and sat down, Toad asked: "Lao Sa, why did you invite me to dinner today" "Please ask you if you have something." ”Sardin was very satisfied with Cui Ming's performance, and he was a little guarded, but he trusted himself, which showed that Cui Ming did not deceive himself.Satin speculated about the murderer, and finally said, "I suspect that this murderer is from your planet, and maybe even from your own kind." ”"It can't be, it can't be my kindred.On our planet, most of it is ocean, and there is very little land, and if there is, it is desert.There is only one large river on land.The river becomes a gathering place for all living things.Our clan is called the River Clan, and it is the king of this river, but it is very difficult to reproduce, and generally a couple has only one to three children in their life.So our people are becoming scarce, because of the weakness of our race, and the foreign races have begun to attack and rob our rivers.We were defeated and had to migrate to live in deep water downstream, from amphibians, to aquatic animals. ”The foreign race that the toad refers to refers to a desert tribe, which is a group of predators, and the toad tribe calls them reclusive beasts.One of the characteristics of these reclusive beasts is that they are extremely capable in desertified areas.With the desertification of the planet's land, the pressure on the toad clan is increasing, and finally the toad clan can only hide in the river.The toad took the bread and put it on the table: "The strongest thing for the reclusive beasts is to set traps, they bury the trap in a certain location, and then burrow into the sand and wait quietly.Once the target steps on the trap, they will be restrained on the spot, and they will be able to reach the trap instantly. ”Sardin asked, "Toad, you already knew that the murderer might be a recluse, right?"

Toad opened his mouth and smiled: "Yes, I already knew, but I don't want to say it, because I don't have a way to deal with the recluse, otherwise how could our people be so miserable." ”Also known as diggers among the toads, they can burrow into layers of sand and even rock.It's an instinctive skill, strictly speaking, to open the door, not to drill in.They can open a door and enter the soil, once someone steps on the trap, a door will open at the trap, they can instantly drill out, jump up, and clamp the target with the large pincers on their forehead, and at the same time inject venom, so that the target instantly loses the ability to resist, and then they will bite the target and pull hard, because one leg is bound, so the other parts will be pulled away by him, and they will open the door from the trap and leave, to the place where they were originally ambushed.There is only one way to defeat the Desert Beast, and that is to find an ambush spot.Because the Retreat Beasts have a huge drawback, they must return to the ambush site within a certain period of time after hunting and attacking, otherwise they will not be able to open the passage to escape.Having lost their ability to burrow into the ground, they had little power to fight back against the toad clan.That's why the legs are left because they don't have time to wait for the bondage time to end.The toad said: "With this trick, the Hidden Earth Beast Clan once ate forty of my clansmen one night.These forty clansmen were originally going to go out to fight against the Retreat Beast Clan, and they were the elite of our race.It's a pity that the marching camping location was set up with countless traps by the other side.Because of the death of these forty clansmen, the number of our young and middle-aged people has plummeted, and after more than a hundred years, we will be completely unable to compete with the Retreat Beasts.When I was summoned to the Eternal Planet, there were only ten of us left in our group.By the way, the population of the Eternal Planet in billions shocked me at the time. ”Satin asked, "How do they set up the trap?"

"You should say arrange the door, set up a door where they can enter and exit."

There are many ways to arrange the door, the first of which is the most straightforward, is to go to the position, drill into the ground, arrange the door, and then drill out and leave.The second type of sneak attack, such as a kilometer away, they drill into the ground, open a gate every 300 meters, and continue until they open a door at the target's feet and jump to attack.This can also be used for advance arrangement.The last one is a token, the Retreat Beast knew that my toad clan was looking for rare ores at that time, so it deliberately let us find it, carrying the token that was made of hands and feet, which was equivalent to opening a door in his body.As soon as the Retreat Beast is activated, it can appear directly in front of us. ”aa2705221:
