Calling again and again, the anxious shell man received no response, and the few weak fluctuations of consciousness soon calmed down.
Everything seems to be dead. The once flawless ancient will is now broken into countless fragments like a broken mirror. Most of the fragments are still buried deep underground, while a few fragments are located further east, emitting
The intermittent cry of the soul.
"My companions, my people, wake up, wake up, the danger is coming."
What came back from the depths of the soul link was eternal silence. The shell man was silent for a few seconds, singing the crystal song in the soul link.
This time, the shell man finally got a weak response.
"Skarner...help...us..."
Along with the response, Skarner saw how the tribesmen who were the first to wake up were killed by human steel and gunpowder, and then heard the extremely weak voice of the Great Will.
"Skarner... you should be the vanguard... call for more shell people... to save the people..."
I finally have a goal in mind.
When the Crystal Song ended, the shell man named Skarner wielded sharp crystal pliers and a quartz scorpion tail as hard as diamond to dig up the soil. With all his strength, Skarner finally left.
From the dark underground, he came to the surface world and bumped into the Feros crystal mining team that was setting up explosives.
The members of the mining team who witnessed all this opened their eyes wide. They had never seen such a tall and ferocious crystal life form before.
"It's a living crystal life! The mining team retreats in an orderly manner, the demolition crew prepares explosives, and the escort team fires freely! Fire freely!"
The guard captain wearing a dust mask gave the order to attack without hesitation. Twenty dozen members of the guard armed with muskets and revolvers pulled the triggers and fired crackling bullets, shattering Skarner's outermost lavender crystal.
case.
"You are the ones who killed my people!"
The angry Crystal Scorpion used crystal energy to form a dark blue crystal shield, and used the shield to carry the musket attack and rushed in front of the members of the escort. The Crystal Scorpion's tail stabbed down like a tight bowstring, piercing through the paper like a piece of paper.
Light leather armor for members of the Guard.
"ah!!!"
The body of the escort member who was pierced died instantly, and the musket with residual heat from the barrel fell to the ground. However, Skarner swung his scorpion tail reluctantly and threw the body towards other escort members, knocking over several
A warrior.
With hatred for human beings, Skarner moved quickly towards the panicked escort soldiers. The amethyst pair of pliers easily crushed the head and cut off the limbs, causing immediate death and immediate injury.
Under Skarner's frenzied attack, the soldiers of the escort suffered heavy casualties, with more than half of them being casualties quickly. They were unable to withstand the Shellmen's attack regardless of the cost.
"Connie! What the hell are you doing standing still!"
Seeing that the big scorpion was about to come over and tear off his head, the captain of the escort team cursed at the demolition man behind him without looking back.
"I never saw you so bitchy when I invited you to dinner!"
The soldier named Connie set up a ring of explosives and shouted.
"Boss! I'm ready! Everyone, retreat quickly!"
With a happy expression on his face, the captain of the escort did not hesitate to shoulder his musket and ran back. Upon seeing this, the other members also deliberately retreated to Connie's side.
"If we can't get rid of those explosives, I'm going to die here! Connie, I'll leave it to you!"
"I'm going to explode!"
Under the captain's scolding, Connie didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and detonated a large amount of explosives just as the Crystal Scorpion broke into the blasting zone.
"boom!!!"
The entire canyon shook for several seconds, and countless rubbles and dust filled the air. Several pieces of the stone wall above the canyon collapsed during the vibration, almost sending away the mining team's miners who were hiding under the stone wall.
The remaining dozen or so guardsmen looked towards the direction of the crystal life with lingering fear, expecting that the monster just now had turned into broken crystals like its previous companions.
However, the reality was extremely cruel, and there were neighing and roaring sounds of unknown meaning coming from the smoke and dust that had not dissipated.
"You are all going to die!!!"
Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, the Crystal Scorpion, whose body was transformed into dark blue crystal, rushed out of the smoke and dust. Most of its shell was broken into pieces. However, it seemed that it was not fatally injured, but instead became even more angry.
"It's opening its mouth! Look! It's about to release its magic! Run! Run!"
"Retreat! Retreat!!"
The warnings one after another could not change the reality of the complete defeat. The crystal scorpion, which had been charged for a long time, opened its mouth and spit out arrow-shaped energy pulses. The energy pulses instantly killed several people along a straight line. The humans who were hit directly turned into
The ground was full of pieces of flesh that had no human shape, and finally hit the rock wall of the canyon to create a large crater.
No one could survive such an attack. Seeing that things were out of control, the captain of the guard team ran away without hesitation. As for which unlucky people would die at the hands of the Crystal Scorpion, it all depends on their luck. He will come.
This is to make money, not to die.
…
The report of the mining accident in Odion Canyon appeared on Malz's desk a week later, which made the head of the Philos family very angry.
Not to mention the seventy-eight casualties, since the Crystal Scorpion emerged from the ground, the Philos family's mining team has not returned to the Odion Canyon and has been in a state of shutdown.
The reinforcements of the escort team were equipped with heavy infantry artillery and launched several counterattacks, but they were all repelled by the Crystal Scorpions. On the contrary, the private army of the Philos family suffered heavy casualties, their morale plummeted, and they developed a fear of the crystal monster.
Under such circumstances, the Philos family's mining team is the best reason to receive paid leave.
The most important thing is that this time the Shell people are completely different from the stupid Shell people who revived before. This crystal scorpion is ferocious and wise. It chose to hide underground under the attack of heavy artillery, and waited until night to attack from the ground again.
The escorts have no temper at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Many people in the family want Maltz to seek support from the Emerald Territory, but if Maltz really wants to do this, he will not drag the matter out like this.
Long,
In the most important original crystal mining agreement, the Philos family originally played only a small role.
Whether it is the development of crystal crafts or the guarding of the crystal factory, Jade Leader is responsible for it. The Philos family is only responsible for the trade channels and mineral vein mining in the twin cities. If the mine cannot be maintained and Jade Leader is required to do it himself, Philos family
What is the meaning of family existence?
"A bunch of useless trash, how can I explain myself in front of Lord Leicester now! Trash!"
Yolanda came to her husband's side worriedly and whispered.
"How about we try to get Lloyd to hire mercenaries under Andis? I heard that Andis's mercenaries have a team equipped with magic equipment, and they might be able to defeat the crystal scorpion."
Malz turned his head, his red eyes gradually calmed down after seeing his eldest wife's face. The man pinched his eyebrows and seriously considered his wife's suggestion.
Lloyd Fellowes is his biological brother.
As the chief secret agent of the Philos family, Lloyd once had the opportunity to systematically learn the combat skills of the Night Blade at the Night Blade training base in the Emerald Territory. He is a first-rate master in both lurking and disguise.
Lloyd is the top assassin and killer among the secret agents of the Feros family. He has assassinated countless hostile forces who wanted to attack members of the Feros family. He is also the patron saint in the shadow of Lanxun Manor and the Feros family.
Including the single-family villa where Lester is located, Lloyd is secretly responsible for security issues. If it weren't for the fact that Lloyd is Lester's top fan, Maltz has always been worried that his brother will be rude in front of Lester.
I took Lloyd to meet Lester.
"The gang of bandits hiding in the desert of Andis have done many things that betrayed their employers and betrayed their employers. Even among the notorious Shurima sand thieves, he is the smelliest and hardest rat excrement. He often takes out
Instead of working for money, he killed all the envoys sent by his employer.
Not to mention whether they really have a group of warriors equipped with magic equipment or not."
"With Lloyd's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to persuade and suppress those bandits, right? If Andis is just lying, we can think of other ways."
Maltz sighed. He just didn't think highly of Andis, but he still had confidence in his brother.
"It's also a way to let those bastards who like tomb robbers try to deal with the Shell people. I have to leave this matter to Lloyd to rest assured. It's just that Lloyd still has to be responsible for the crystals of Lanxun Manor and the Philos family.
I still don’t feel comfortable letting other spies take over the trading business.”
"Marz, it's a good thing to prepare for a rainy day, but if you worry too much, it will make it difficult to accomplish anything.
Judging from the power of our Philos family in the upper city, we don't need to be afraid of anyone at all. We just need to reduce the number of times we go out during the days when Lloyd is out.
What's more, Lord Leicester and his favorite student live in the west of the manor now. If we really run into trouble, I think based on your previous performance, Lord Leicester wouldn't mind helping."
"Yolanda, you're right, we can't be so timid."
After finally making a decision, Maltz hugged his wife and became tender.
His wife Yolanda can be said to be the other half of his dreams. She is gentle, intellectual, full of wisdom and empathy, and is the most perfect wife.
The only problem is that Yolanda was injured in a despicable business assassination and could not have children. Otherwise, he would not have found a second wife. The Philos family must ultimately be controlled by his own bloodline and cannot be faked.
to others.
"Yolanda, do you think that if I pray to Lord Lester, can I ask Lord Lester to find a way to help you heal your body?"
Yolanda shook her head at her husband who looked distressed and said softly.
"Even if Lord Leicester has a way to cure my body, it is still a huge favor that the Philos family cannot afford to pay back. What's more, if my body is cured and I am pregnant with your blood, I will be pregnant.
How will sister Vicky cope with being one month old?"
These words made Maltz calm down again. This is indeed a very serious problem. If you are not careful, it will cause chaos in the family, so you must not ignore it.
But if this is the case, Yolanda herself suffers. This woman always bears the suffering alone and refuses to speak out no matter how difficult or painful it is.
Seeing her husband's hesitation and pity, Yolanda comforted him.
"Filos is a great family. Every great family must know how to dedicate themselves to their family. This is the most important motto of the Feros family."
"For my family, I volunteer..."
"That's it. If the Philos family can continue stably, it will all be worth it."
Seeing Yolanda's relieved look, Malz felt very uncomfortable. Recalling the encounter between the two, the head of the Philos family made an important decision.
"I understand, thank you, Yolanda."
Knowing that her husband was relieved, Yolanda smiled.
"Okay, I won't disturb you for the rest of the time. When you're done, remember to pay more attention to sister Vicky. She is also your wife, she is pregnant again, and she needs your company."
Watching Yolanda leave, Malz sighed and ordered the spies to find his younger brother Lloyd.
After a while, the tall, lean and cold man jumped into the room from the window and appeared in the shadows, perfectly inheriting the preferences of the Night Blade.
"Master Maltz, what are your orders?"
"Put it aside what you are doing. I need you to go to the Dashai Desert to do something..."
The taciturn Lloyd just listened quietly, took his brother's instructions to heart, and then left.
Sitting on the luxurious leather bench, Malz rubbed his emerald finger, feeling a little distressed.
"Would Lord Leicester mind if I use some tricks? Yolanda and Miss Syndra have a very good relationship. Maybe they can use Miss Syndra's mouth to get Lord Lester to take action. But in that case, Lester
The king will definitely not be able to see what is going on, will he be disgusted by this euphemistic method?"
After much deliberation, Malz still couldn't figure out anything useful. The two themselves were not on the same level. Trying to figure out the legend's thoughts was a bit overestimating. Malz, who was tortured by frustration, could only sigh.
Choose to give up your fantasy.
"No matter what, I have to cure Yolanda's disease. This is what I owe Yolanda. She has paid too much for this family. I can't let Yolanda continue to be so sad. She is also qualified to be a mother.
Hey, why are you thinking so much? Why don't I beg Miss Sindra directly and openly? Don't be so clever and ask Miss Sindra to intercede for me. No matter whether it succeeds or not, at least it will appear that I am aboveboard."
With a plan in mind, Maltz began to make the next step.
"There are still more than three months left on the Evolution Day. It's just a good time to have a banquet with Master Lester and Miss Syndra on the Evolution Day. There will always be a chance then."
