Chapter 22 The first clues

"Hey...this guy really dares to speak..."

At the top of the cave, Xue Hua was half-leaning behind a boulder, listening to what the Node King Insect was monitoring, and sipped his toothache with some toothache.

That Steel Tiger seemed to really think of himself as an important person, and the requests that came out of his mouth were more courageous than the last.

Why does he require that he enjoy legendary status, and that the command authority of his subordinates should remain intact with him?

Xue Hua put himself in the identity of the evil contracter to listen to these demands. He felt that if he didn't just slap this s-b to death, it would be because the effect of his recent self-cultivation has been so good.

But when I look at the real owner, he still has a friendly, warm, patient and serious smile on his face, without even the slightest hint of impatience. This level of service is not enough even for a five-star rating...

Didn't you see that the brother standing behind him was starting to look murderous?

Xue Hua could feel the strong desire to chop the shameless big guy in front of him into meat paste and stuff it into the cauldron of the Sinking Demon...

Ganghu made hundreds of demands in one breath, from money and equipment to officials and women, everything was included, and he simply took his shameless spirit to the extreme.

However, even with such shameless requests, Horn actually just discussed with him nicely for a short while, and after removing a few of them about this mission, he agreed to everything else directly, and in front of Steel

Hu Mian made an oath of evil with all his professional levels, swearing to fulfill all the promises he made immediately after the completion of this mission.

This made Gang Hu feel relieved all of a sudden. All that was left in his already worrying mind was the longing for a "good life" in the future...

However, he and his men did not see the cold smile that could not help but appear on Horn's lips when he turned around.

The evil covenant oath must be observed, otherwise the punishment will be more severe than breaking the sacred covenant oath.

But if all the targets that promise to fulfill the oath fail, the oath that loses the execution conditions will be automatically cancelled.

These guys are just cannon fodder. For those who are destined to die, drawing a big cake to satisfy their hunger is considered as the last thank you to them.

After the two parties confirmed the cooperative relationship, Horn and Duke threw a bunch of merit cards to Ganghu as the "final payment" of the mission, and then left with the mining convoy without hesitation.

Before leaving, Horn instructed Ganghu to stay here for the time being. Their new mission would be assigned soon, and he also asked them not to cut off contact with the Holy Covenant for the time being. Retaining their identity as professionals is very important for their new mission.

.

Of course, Ganghu happily nodded in agreement to this request. After all, Horn agreed to his conditions too readily. If he was asked to defect to the evil contract immediately, he would probably still be thinking that the other party had some evil intentions.

He still didn't know that he was already a dead person in the eyes of the other party, and Horn had always been very tolerant of dead people.

...

At the top of the cave, Xue Hua watched the two evil contractors leaving with the mine convoy, and immediately asked Isa to arrange for the monitoring king insect to follow them to track and monitor them, making sure to find the other party's lair.

What kind of trick did these guys want to play by hijacking the mine cart? If nothing happens, the truth should be revealed this time.

Xue Hua followed the Monitoring King Insect's vision for a while and found that the two Evil Contractors were leading the mine cart through the rugged mountains with ease. Apparently, they had already found a way in and out.

This kind of preliminary work will definitely not be used just once. Combined with the previous order of the evil contracter to let the Steel Tigers stand by in the mountains, it is obvious that the plans of these evil contracters will probably be near this mountain range in the end.

Or...the surrounding human towns.

Thinking of this, Xue Hua felt that he should go back and warn the guards in Black Corner Town, but there was no concrete evidence to take action.

In addition, his current disguised identity is just a black rock-level professional who has just completed a brass escort mission, so most people will not believe him.

Thinking of this, Xue Hua sighed helplessly and suddenly found that he seemed to have nothing to do.

Although the task of surveying and mapping the map had already been easily completed by the Overwatch King Insects, if he ran back with a nearly perfect map now, wouldn't he be regarded as a monster by others?

He might even be regarded as a spy with ulterior motives, which would be a big joke...

After all, the time interval from receiving the task to completing it is too short, especially since this is a map surveying task that is recognized as extremely time-consuming.

So he had no choice but to lean against the boulder on the top of the mountain again, close his eyes, and prepare to review the situation of the insect nest in the first world.

His clone of the Will of the Sandworm Mother is still staying well under the ruins of Tristram.

Although the city has been completely turned into a collapsed ruin due to Leviathan's main cannon and the departure of King Leoric, the monster projections in the surrounding forest will not disappear because of this.

Most of the demon tribe led by Andariel has disappeared, and now they are replaced by a group of new monsters under the command of the King of Lies.

Snake people.

These hell demons, covered with smooth scales, possessing a huge snake tail and the upper body of a human, are more cunning than most demon projections.

They are the descendants of Belial, the servants he created, and they are also the guards and minions of the king of lies.

Snake people are generally divided into two categories, warriors and mages.

Warrior snakemen can disguise themselves, making themselves almost invisible.

They hold tridents and specialize in launching sneak attacks on enemies from the shadows of trees. They are very dangerous and troublesome opponents.

The mage-type snakefolk are relatively few in number, but they are more dangerous than their warrior brethren.

These half-human, half-snake spellcasters are good at casting lightning spells, and can often create deadly lightning storms in a huge area.

Many professionals from King's Harbor and Westmarch have suffered big losses at their hands because they are not familiar with the characteristics of these new monsters. So far, no professional team has been able to penetrate deep enough to be attacked by snakes again.

The ruins of occupied Tristram.

The nests of the insect swarm are all underground. Although the snake people are cunning, they are still projections after all, and they are not that smart yet.

So for now, the underground nests and the mother of sandworms on the Linhai side are still safe.

Xue Hua briefly inspected the internal operations of the nest, and after finding that everything was normal, he directed his attention to Ecological Star No. 1 through the connection of the Node King Insect.

There, a huge biological flagship is slowly taking shape, and its huge body can even be vaguely seen from the outer orbit of the planet.

The nests that provide Leviathan with hatching energy continue to expand, and Zuzad's planetary resource allocation operations are becoming increasingly busy.

The second Leviathan of the swarm, and the first terrifying war machine that can truly appear in this real universe, is maturing step by step in the slowly fluctuating giant insect eggs! (To be continued)
