Li De looked seriously at the cave that seemed to swallow everything.
"It means that Edwin was dragged in by the monster in this cave in full view of everyone?!"
Li De's tone was obviously angry when he asked this question. A dignified and confidential member of the Hanhai Protectorate, accompanied by an elite team, would have his life threatened by an inexplicable monster.
Reed's words made everyone in the expedition team lower their heads. The most ashamed of them was Tavish Stormpike. If he hadn't proposed the exploration, Van Cleef would not have been killed by the monster.
What made him feel even more humiliated was that, as a heroic hunter, he did nothing when the multi-headed monster snake attacked Van Cleef.
"Tavish, you are too reckless! If you encounter something like this, you should have reported it in advance!"
Muradin Bronzebeard scolded Tavish Stormpike with an ugly face, which made the rough man blush the same color as his beard.
"That little devil Van Cleef is not dead yet."
However, what no one expected was that Gani Projection, who came after hearing the news, suddenly said such a sentence, which immediately shocked everyone.
"Ganizon, are you telling the truth?"
Talanji asked Garni in disbelief. Ever since she helped the Protector of the Vast Sea repel the Kezan fleet that day, she had been staying as a guest in the Protector of the Vast Sea.
In fact, not only Talanji, but also many heroes who were guests of the Protector of the Vast Sea rushed to the scene. On the one hand, Van Cleef was an important figure in the Protector of the Vast Sea; on the other hand, the more important reason was that the strong men present also wanted to see the entrenched warrior.
What kind of monster is here?
"Of course. Have you ever seen any Loa who would sense the wrong believer?"
Old Garni's projection seemed a little unhappy when he said this, which made Talanji feel ashamed and apologized on the spot.
Van Cleef is indeed a believer in Garni, and the absolute main belief of the Protector of the Vast Sea is undoubtedly the Light of Civilization. And under the system of the Light of Civilization, it is the original belief of the three Loa.
Almost everyone in Hanhai has faith, and those with low cultural level and poor understanding can devote themselves to Loa faith that is more concrete and easier to popularize.
On this basis, if the overall level is improved, you can gradually accept the light of more abstract and complex civilization.
Van Cleef's belief in the light of civilization is based on his belief in Gani. Among the three Loa, Old Gani has the most followers because he is approachable and despises all people with high or low status.
The hierarchical concept of separation. This makes Lao Gani the most compatible with the Hanhai Protector who advocates equality.
"Ganizon, do you have a way to rescue Van Cleef?"
Li De sincerely asked Gani for advice. Old Gani thought for a while and then frowned.
"I can't tell, I came here not only because of the little devil Van Cleef, but also because of the thing in the cave. My intuition tells me that the power of the thing inside comes from the demigod."
"Demi god".
As soon as this word appeared, everyone present was shocked. It represented the strongest power on the surface of Azeroth. When they thought that there was such a thing in this cave, the heroes present felt great pressure.
"Don't worry, I just said that the power below comes from demigods, but it is several levels behind real demigods. Even compared with old Gani, it is far inferior."
Coming from the fact that demigods are not real demigods, this statement made Li De feel a little familiar. He couldn't help but think of Gazrilla who had died by his sword.
Just as Li De was thinking this, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd, and then all the heroes put on alert movements.
It turned out that a dozen harpies flew over from the west. Harpies never had a good reputation, not to mention that the attack on Van Cleef had a lot to do with them.
"Please don't be impulsive, we are not here with hostility!"
It can only be said that it is both unexpected and reasonable. The harpies are an extremely chaotic and aggressive race and rarely take the initiative to communicate with the outside world.
There are so many strong men standing here at the moment. If the harpy really wants to use force, it is definitely not possible for only a dozen people to come.
These harpies speak semi-common language, and semi-common language is not a difficult language for the Hanhai Protector to master, because it is relatively close to troll language.
Among everyone present, the one with the best command of Semi-Common Language was Lao Chen. After all, he had just sent away his wild boar student not long ago.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Cortina Xiaoyu, I am the harpy of Screaming Canyon."
This made Li De raise his eyebrows. These harpies were unexpectedly polite, and when Cortina Xiaoyu landed close to him, she didn't even smell the disgusting smell in the legend.
.Even if there is some body odor, it is the smell of ordinary bird feathers.
"Explain your purpose, harpy."
Cortina Xiaoyu seemed unfazed by Li De's unabashed caution.
"I came here for the Snake King's Cave. We have common interests in this matter."
Snake King Cave, the name of this cave sounds really simple and easy to understand, ordinary yet with a touch of extraordinary.
Cortina Xiaoyu and her subordinates came here to meet with Li De, certainly not just to say a name.
According to her story, there is a three-headed snake king living in the snake king cave, which has the ability to command snakes to fight for it.
In the legend of the harpy, this three-headed snake king has a lifespan of at least a thousand years. It claims to have noble blood and is the descendant of the demigod Gazrilla.
Relying on powerful strength and terrifying abilities, this "son of Gazrilla" began to brutally plunder the harpies.
Because of the wonderful characteristics of harpies, they can lay eggs and reproduce without having to mate with males. Therefore, in the eyes of Gazrilla's descendants, the harpy habitat has become a zero-cost, perpetual "egg breeding factory."
The multi-headed snake usually hides in the Snake King's Cave, and regularly commands an army of poisonous snakes to plunder the Harpy's eggs for him to enjoy.
For hundreds of years, the harpies have been unable to resist the plunder of the hydra, until things finally took a turn for the better more than two years ago.
A strong power erupted in the Tanaris Desert. While that power inspired the demigods, some of its aftermath actually affected the Harpy tribe living on the cliffs of Thousand Needles.
In short, by accident, these harpies have become much smarter than before, and judging from the current development trend, they will become smarter and smarter in the future.
Perhaps because they have become smarter, the harpies' resistance to Gazrilla's children has become more and more effective. Until just two days ago, they completely defeated the attack of thousands of venomous snakes on their habitat.
Today, in order to track down Van Cleef's affairs, a large number of strong men came to the high cliffs, which gave the Queen of the Harpy hope.
She decided to unite these strong men to eliminate the terrifying hydra once and for all.
