Under the terrifying pressure exerted by Shuge, these prisoners quickly told everything they knew.
And through the information given by these three-color brotherhood members, Shuge also captured a surprising fact.
General Boots, who controls Iris Street, is now trying to expand his sphere of influence - not only expanding his territory, he is also trying every means to recruit other survivors in the area.
"The past week, Iris Street accepted several mages who came out of the Legal Committee... Well, it seems that General Boots does not intend to let them become members of his army, but wants them to do other things, but specifically
In what way, we don’t know.”
"Why, don't you count as people from Iris Street?"
"Of course not."
The rather self-conscious member of the Three-Color Brotherhood smiled bitterly: "At most we can only... conduct some transactions and cooperation with Iris Street. They don't like us, and even the weapons we exchanged with them are just some
Replacement of ordinary goods."
As he spoke, he looked at the various objects piled aside with his eyes: "You may not believe it, but three or four out of ten of the crystal muskets we exchanged will not fire at all."
Shuge still believed what this brotherhood member said. After all, the role played by the Three-Color Brotherhood in Salem City has always been very embarrassing and subtle. To some people, they are a group of outright robbers, but to some
For those in power, these guys are white gloves that can be called upon and given up at any time.
"You seem to be very skilled at attacking mages. How many times have you done this before?"
"Only... four or five times, right?"
One fraternity member timidly replied: "And it doesn't always work."
"In other words, you have succeeded?"
"Yes... yes, I have succeeded three times, but they were all raindrop-level mages or apprentices. They cannot use magic to resist bullets like you."
The member of the Three-Color Brotherhood lowered his voice as he spoke. It seemed that he was worried that the terrifying young mage in front of him would avenge his "colleagues".
However, Xiuge was extremely indifferent to this. He raised his metal cane and glanced at the blood on it. Then he raised his hand and summoned a ball of "water ball" to quickly wash away the dirt.
At the same time, he asked: "So these methods of hunting mages were discovered by you yourself?"
"No, this is the experience within the Brotherhood... The mages who joined us told us these methods."
Hearing this sentence, Shuge became interested: "A mage who joined the Brotherhood? Where did he come from? The Legal Committee or the Royal Family of Delan?"
"It's the Legal Committee, sir."
"Interesting, is he still with you now?"
The brotherhood member caught the subtle change in Shuge's tone, but he did not dare to avoid Shuge's question. Instead, he nodded timidly: "Yes, he has become an important member of ours and a mage advisor."
"When did he join?"
"Shortly after the disaster."
So Xiuge narrowed his eyes and nodded his head twice: "Okay, I understand."
As if he recognized the attitude and answers of these "captives", Xiuge shook his cane. In an instant, two more "limb recovery techniques" were cast, and he began to continuously attack the other two fallen prisoners.
The wounded who were lying on the ground were subjected to extremely rough treatment.
Afterwards, Xiuge went directly to the piled weapons and started picking them among them as if no one else was watching.
After staying in the Fifth Chasseur Regiment for a long time, even a mage will get used to carrying firearms with him.
As these brotherhood members said, the crystallized guns they have in their hands are of mixed quality, and Xiuge couldn't help but frown after just taking a look at them.
These crystal muskets are not from the same era at all. Some of them are old antiques with rough styles, and the crystal powder in the barrel must be cleaned after shooting, and there are also new rotating crystal muskets made by Delan craftsmen. The "difference between the two"
The "age difference" is probably more than a hundred years!
Xiuge was naturally not interested in those antique weapons that took several minutes just to load bullets. He directly selected three of the latest models that used runner, and looted all the bullets that matched them. As for melee combat
As self-defense weapons, he chose a Demonic Silver Sword and two daggers.
As for the alchemy bomb, a good thing that is "suitable for all ages", Xiuge did not intend to keep it. He emptied a brotherhood member's package and put all the alchemy bombs in it. Then he put this
The heavy package "hangs" on the hand of the mage floating aside.
"Okay, you can go...but I need you to bring me a message."
Amidst the disbelieving looks of all the brotherhood members, Shuge showed a meaningful smile: "Say hello to your mage advisor for me, and say hello to him from the members of the Dark Abyss History Society.
...If he has time and is interested, he can come to this place at noon in two days and I will talk to him about something."
…
In fact, after Xiuge heard the description of the mage, he had basically determined that this spellcaster who provided guidance to the Brotherhood was most likely a member of the Black Sun Society left in the city of Salem.
Although Xiuge didn't expect the Three-Color Brotherhood to be of any help in solving the hidden dangers in Salem City, he knew that once he launched a comprehensive operation against the heirs of An Yuan, he would definitely attract
Attention of these Black Sun Society members.
With the nature of these lunatics, they might cause some trouble at that time.
Therefore, before everything is ready, Xiuge must thoroughly cleanse the remaining forces of the Black Sun Society in Salem City. Only by eliminating these fragmentary external forces and hidden dangers can he do his own thing in a big way.
After letting go of the members of the Three Color Brotherhood who were responsible for bringing him messages, Shuge officially started his hunting plan in this neighborhood.
Relying on their own magic perception and the inexplicable weak connection with the descendants of An Yuan, those "mud" that hide in the nooks and crannies after the sun rises have no way of escaping Shuge's pursuit.
These descendants of the Dark Abyss who have not returned to the underground world during the day are basically independent individuals separated from the huge main body. Although they are connected to their own bodies at the spiritual and magical levels, the descendants of the Dark Abyss
Although they have incomplete characteristics, there is no way to support them from sharing each other's senses and information at all times like human mages and summons.
And this makes it easier for Xiuge to hunt them.
The messenger in the mirror has gone "eating crazy".
After getting Shuge's tacit approval, it even skipped the step of storing the power of Anbyan in metal discs waiting for distribution. Once it cooperates with Shuge to complete the hunt, it will immediately seize those from the descendants of Anbyan.
The force that came out was poured into the room that was still sealed.
After receiving the warning from Theseus, Xiuge now does not dare to continue to use "sacrifice" to redeem it in the Dream Sanctuary at will, and this hunt for the descendants of An Abyss has become his rapid improvement in a short period of time.
The most effective way to strengthen your own strength!
After entering this almost workaholic state, Xiuge almost forgot about the passage of time.
The magic rats have weaved a huge magic network around him, and once these rats find any movement or trace, Shuge will immediately call out Snitch and let him take him to the target location.
, basically, those descendants of the Dark Abyss who were discovered were cut into pieces by Charron's Touch before they even had time to counterattack or escape, and were swallowed up by the Messenger of the Mirror using the mist.
During the hunting that lasted for most of the day, Xiuge also tested the effectiveness of other magic on these descendants of An Yuan.
"In addition to high temperatures and flames, extreme cold and death magic that can directly deprive them of vitality can cause damage to them. In contrast, physical chopping, puncture, and corrosive toxins and acids are less effective. These methods are less effective.
It cannot truly kill the children of the Dark Abyss, but it can cause trauma to them and split their bodies."
Xiuge raised his foot and gently kicked away a ball of black mud that was trying to crawl toward him. The weak fragment of the descendant of the dark abyss was immediately wrapped in the mist of the busy Mirror Messenger. Within two seconds,
The clock turned into a ball of black sewage without any magic power or vitality.
"Crystal bullets are also effective against them, but what really causes damage is not the shrapnel when the bullet explodes, but the impact of the magic explosion... The damage caused by the magic explosion to the descendants of An Abyss is actually very similar to those of flame magic, and it is more powerful.
Directly, but the magic explosion itself cannot sustainably damage and contain this monster like flames."
He looked up to the sky.
The distant shelling finally stopped more than half an hour ago - it lasted for a whole day. The artillery on both sides was frantically pouring their artillery fire towards the other side's position and attack route, and the number of shells consumed was natural.
There is no way to calculate it, but after the long bombardment stopped, Xiuge suddenly felt that the world could be so quiet.
It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and almost all the survivors who have gone out for action will be on their way home at this time.
Later, the sunlight will begin to dim, and at that time, all roads that can be walked during the day will become hunting grounds for the descendants of the Dark Abyss.
The neighborhood where Shuge is located has become extremely quiet, probably because there are constant magical explosions in this area. There are not many survivors who dare to come here. At most, they can only take a sneak peek.
Then he would leave, and all the descendants of An Yuan lurking in this area had been killed by Xiuge.
But Xiuge was not satisfied with this result. On the contrary, he noticed something abnormal.
Starting an hour ago, he discovered that the descendants of An Abyss near him were already trying to escape.
As if they had received some kind of signal, they left the corners where they were originally hiding and looked for cracks and passages that could lead to the underground. Once these descendants of the dark abyss got into those cracks, they would immediately disappear in Shuge's world.
In the perception of magic.
Due to the activities of a large number of dark abyss forces, the underground waterways of Salem City are now simply a restricted area for magic perception. There are traces of magic left by the descendants of the dark abyss everywhere. In this environment, even Xiuge cannot distinguish them in detail.
Which are truly "meaningful" fluctuations and which are false "distractions".
"It seems that their subjects have sensed my presence? Or are they aware that someone is deliberately hunting them?"
The messenger in the mirror on the side had finished his eating process, so Xiuge looked at the slightly slanting sunlight, then turned over and mounted the running rat.
In Salem City, although Xiuge belongs to the category of "artists are bold", he does not want to attract the attention of the descendants of An Yuan prematurely, in case they go crazy and organize that kind of momentum
It would not be a good idea if a huge "tide of death" surrounded and suppressed us.
Snitch yawned in the warm sunshine. Its body was already covered with various trophies that Shuge had taken along the way. From weapons to food, everything was available, and there was even a small bag of magic crystals.
When hunting a descendant of the Dark Abyss, the things found from the collapsed building were of limited quality, but for a mage, the more things like magic crystals, the better.
"Let's go back."
Shuge gently patted Snitch on the head, and the big mouse immediately became energetic. It identified the direction, and then ran with Shuge towards the hiding place of Felix and others.
However, after walking forward for a few minutes, the running rat suddenly stopped. Its hair stood up slightly, and its throat emitted a slight hiss that symbolized threat and warning.
Seeing this, Xiuge frowned slightly. Although there was no warning sign in the spiritual world, he immediately became alert. The fog of the dark abyss immediately filled his eyes, which allowed Xiuge to capture everything in front of him.
The tiniest fluctuation of magic power.
Then he saw that in the shadow of the street ahead, a lot of thick black pus was slowly pouring out from different directions. They gathered in the center of the street and slowly formed a somewhat blurry
Jet black figure.
Immediately afterwards, this human form, which was obviously transformed from the descendant of An Yuan, made a move that surprised Xiuge.
It took a step forward, and then slowly bent down in the direction of Xiuge.
