Chapter 410 Hell Creek Family
Federation, central Montene State.
Surrounded by a large expanse of primeval jungle, stands a towering mountain peak.
Looking from a distance, about one-third of the top of the mountain is covered with white snow and surrounded by thick clouds.
“Look, everyone, that is Mount Dynaso. It is the highest peak in the Federation, with an altitude of 6,435 meters. It is also the only mountain in the Federation that has not been conquered by humans.”
On the outskirts of the primitive jungle, a group of tourists, led by a guide, overlooked the towering Mount Dynaso.
“Why?” a tourist asked curiously: “Is it because it’s too high?”
The tour guide shook his head, “It has nothing to do with the height. There are many mountains in the world that are higher than Mount Dynasol. The high peaks have not been able to stop the climbing team. The reason why this place has not been conquered is because it belongs to the private property of a large family. "Private property?" Many tourists said in surprise. The whole mountain?”
“To be exact, including the primeval jungle starting from here,” the tour guide said with a smile, pointing to a warning sign not far away: "Our visit can only go so far. Going further is other people's private property."
The tourists looked at the warning sign and saw it said: "This is the private territory of the Hell Creek family. Trespassers will be responsible for the consequences."
"Hell Creek family?" A young man asked. He curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Is it such a big pomp?"
The girl next to him also looked around: "I didn't see any fences or anything like that. If someone didn't notice the warning sign, What will happen if you go in?"
"Don't try it out of curiosity," the tour guide warned: "I don't know what the relationship between the Hell Creek family and the Montene State Government is, but I am very sure. I can tell you that they have the right to deal with any intruders in their private territory as they please. As far as I know, more than a thousand people disappear every year because of straying into this jungle. I don’t want you to be one of those thousand. Oh."
"Okay, everyone, come over here, let's go to the next location, where we can see Mount Dynaso better..."
Under the guidance of the tour guide, the tourists turned and walked towards the tour bus. Only the man and woman seemed a little unwilling to look back at the deep jungle.
Especially the young man, he seemed to feel that there was some unknown existence in the jungle, stimulating his curiosity.
"Qiao, let's go, the bus is about to start. What's there to see in this broken forest!"
"Oh..." Faced with his girlfriend's call, the young man finally replied After coming to his senses, he looked back and followed the large army away.
After the tour group left, a huge monster slowly appeared deep in the jungle.
This monster is four to five meters tall and more than ten meters long. It is covered in hard scales and has a large bloody mouth. Its two small arms are huddled in front of its chest. Its thick and long tail stretches straight back, and is in contact with the front half of its body. Maintaining balance, it looks like a carnivorous dinosaur that traveled from ancient times.
"Really, that man almost walked in..."
The huge carnivorous dinosaur's lips moved, and he actually spoke human words, with a hint of regret in his tone.
At this moment, a dull cell phone ringtone rang. The big dinosaur was stunned for a moment and looked down. Then his body shape changed, fading away from the appearance of the dinosaur, and finally revealed a tall man with an unshaven beard. A blond man who looks to be in his forties. As he returned to his human form, the ringtone on his cell phone became clearer.
The man took out his cell phone from his pocket, answered it impatiently, and put it to his ear.
"Hello? I'm taking a walk? What's the matter...what?!" The man sounded lazy and impatient at first, but when he said it normally, his blue eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of shock.
"Charles is dead?!"
"Yes..." A cold female voice came from the other end of the phone: "That useless brother of yours who was sent to China on a mission, his The life signal just disappeared."
"He is also my brother in Waste!" The man looked sullen: "Who did it?"
"I don't know yet..." the woman said. : "Elder Lessard wants to see you and discuss this matter with you."
The man turned his head and glanced at the mist-shrouded Dynaso Mountain in the distance, and snorted coldly: "I'll be there right away."
Hang up the phone, the man tiptoed into the air, changing in mid-air. The body transformed into a pterosaur with a wingspan of more than eight meters, flapped its wings, and flew all the way to the top of the mountain.
Looking from a distance, the top of Mount Dynasol is covered with snow all year round and is looming in the clouds. However, as the pterosaurs continue to approach and pass through the clouds, a patch of snow is revealed in the vast white snow. It’s a paradise filled with greenery!
Yes, on the top of a mountain with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, unlike the snow below that never melts all year round, the climate here seems to have been changed by some mysterious force, becoming warm and humid, and various rare species grow there. plants, forming a large beautiful garden. In this garden, you can see a large castle built on the mountain, with various towers, houses, and statues scattered in an orderly manner, like an ancient city in the sky.
The pterosaur flew directly to one of the tall towers, transformed back into a human form in the air, and landed on the window sill of the tower.
"You didn't go through the door." Standing on the window sill was an intellectual beauty with glasses and long blond hair. Although she blamed her words, it could be seen from her expression that she seemed to be prepared for the man's unconventional approach. .
"I only care about my brother's safety." The man snorted coldly, and the woman sighed, turned her head and waved her hand, opened the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, and led him in.
There is a circular hall on the top floor of the tower. There is a huge desk facing the balcony. An old man with a white beard wearing glasses is writing at the desk. After noticing the man, he raised his She raised her eyelids and glanced at him over the spectacles on her face.
"Elder Lessard!" The man walked straight to the desk and slapped his hands on the table: "What happened to my brother?"
Lessa De did not answer his question directly, but frowned: "You have reached the peak, and you are still so frizzy..."
As he said that, he sorted out what he had just written: "Niklai, don't forget, you are facing an old guy who is more than a hundred years old. My heart cannot withstand your surprise. "Stop pretending to me..." Nikolai snorted: "I don't think that the old monster who reached his peak more than half a century ago is the same as an ordinary centenarian."
< br>
"It's just the peak, after all, it's not the emergence..." Elder Lessard sighed: "Our lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people, but after all, we still cannot escape the brilliance of time..."< br>
As he spoke, he took off his spectacles and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "In the past few years, it has become clear that my eyes have begun to blur, and my body functions have begun to decline uncontrollably... Listen to me, boy, your talent is Better than me, while your physical condition allows it, stop being lazy and find a way to become an immortal. That is the true destination of a cultivator."
"I'm not here to listen to you's preaching! Nikolai gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to know how my brother is doing."
Elder Lessard shook his head: "I don't know..."
"I don't know?" Nikolai frowned: "What do you mean?"
"His life signal disappeared." The bespectacled woman on the side said: "Other than that, no other information was sent back."
"He has a cross of rebirth!" Nikolai gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that the life monitoring system identified it wrongly? ?”
The bespectacled woman shook her head: “The system showed that his life signal disappeared twice. The first time it disappeared briefly and then recovered instantly. Then a minute later, his signal disappeared. Disappeared again..."
"The ghost state after the cross is activated lasts exactly one minute..." Nikolai realized something, but his eyes widened, unwilling to believe it.
"This means...the cross didn't help him escape from the opponent's grasp. After he was released from the ghost state, he was killed again in an instant." Lessard looked at Nikolai and said word by word Said: "The opponent is a master who has no power to fight back!"
"Being able to kill Charles instantly..." Nicklay gritted his teeth and said: "Although he is not very strong, he will not be defeated so easily. Is the opponent who killed him a top player?"
"It's very possible." Lessard nodded.
“Could it be the Yuanxiu Society?” Nikolai snorted coldly: “Those guys have been unwilling to cooperate with us...”
"Impossible." The bespectacled woman immediately retorted: "The Yuan Xiu Order in Cathay has always been very measured in their affairs. Even if Charles violated the rules there, the most they can do is control him and negotiate with us to solve the problem. They won't Killed so decisively."
"And not only Charles, but other tribesmen who were with him in Cathay have also lost contact. We have reason to believe that they have all died in Cathay. In Ningdong! The Yuan Xiu Society will never do such an outrageous thing."
"Ningdong..." Nikolai frowned: "I applied to investigate the cause of Charles' death!"
Elder Lessard snorted: "Then what do you think the purpose of my coming to you is?"
As he said that, he handed the materials he had just written to Nikolai: "I I know that you have never been to Cathay and don’t know much about Ningdong. This is information I compiled about the local cultivators in Ningdong, including inferences about the cause of Charles’ death, which should be useful to you.”
< br>
Elder Lessard was so proactive that it surprised Nikolai. He took the materials in a daze: "Didn't the patriarch always prohibit me from leaving here? I thought I needed to ask for his approval..."
" That's because your character is too easy to get into trouble." Lessard smiled and said: "Now that you have reached the pinnacle, after several years of consolidation, your realm has long been stable, and there are only a few people in the main world who can defeat you. In addition to the feathers, I can count them all on one hand. I have already communicated with the clan leader that it is time for you to come out."
"Of course, more importantly, because the Yuan Xiuhui has not been in public for many years. I don’t have any information about you. It’s easier for someone who is unknown to you.”
“You want me to act secretly?” Nikolai frowned: “Isn’t it representing the Hell Creek family?”< br>
“If something like this happens, the Hell Creek family will definitely arrange for people to go to Cathay to negotiate with the Yuan Xiu Society. However, official personnel will definitely be closely monitored and their actions in Cathay will be severely restricted. Compared with Underneath, we need a dark line to take care of the bright line and at the same time, we can move more freely. ”
"But accordingly, you must also remember that no matter what, you cannot reveal your identity from the Hell Creek family. Similarly, if you have an accident, the Hell Creek family will not recognize your identity. You can only rely on Solve the problem yourself. This means that if you accept this task, you will be removed from the Hell Creek family."
"This is the best, so you don't have to tie your hands." Nikolai nodded after hearing this. The information in hand: "How many peaks are there in Ningdong?"
In the information given to him by Elder Lessard, there was a list of people who had the ability to kill Charles. Except for Su Manchen, who was definitely at the peak, There is also Yuan Shouzhen, whose strength is not inferior to that of the peak. In addition to these two people, there are also two names marked in it, namely Ling Xin and Xingyang.
"Yuan Shouzhen should not be in Ningdong at the moment, but when you are active in Ningdong, you will probably come into contact with him, so I provided his information. As for the remaining two people, they are not at their peak yet. , but because of their special abilities, they have the ability to compete with the peak, and they can also kill Charles instantly."
The girl with glasses introduced: "In addition to these people, there is another important clue. , that is, Charles was investigating the whereabouts of the Eternal Star. He regularly reported the progress to the elders, which recorded the direction and progress of his investigation. If you follow the investigation, you are likely to find some clues. "
"Understood." Nikolai closed the document and nodded: "When should I leave?"
"Now, immediately." Lessard said: "The helicopter is ready and will take you there. I have booked a flight to Ningdong for you at the nearest airport. I hope you can find out the truth about Charles’ death and give an explanation to your brother in heaven.”
“I will!” After finishing, Nikolai walked directly to the window sill, transformed into a pterosaur again and took off into the air, flying towards the apron.
Looking at Nikolai's leaving figure, the bespectacled woman returned to Elder Lessard: "Is it really appropriate to let this guy out?"
Leshard sighed. : "The death of Charles is not important. Our real goal is still the Eternal Star. But in order to find that thing, we have used all the methods available, and finally found nothing. It is time to take a strong dose."
"Niklai is a lunatic. He doesn't care about the Eternal Star, but the death of Charles will definitely make him show his craziest side." Lessard smiled: "A peak of madness is enough for those Cathayans. I was a little shocked!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old guy suddenly coughed violently. The bespectacled woman beside him hurriedly took the handkerchief. Lessard covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then took it. When he opened it, there was a purple-black blood stain in the handkerchief.
"I'm afraid I don't have much time..." Lessard gritted his teeth and said: "I hope that thing... comes in time..."
