Outside the town, in a valley about three kilometers away, a group of lifeless figures had gathered here.
One of the bald strong men held his head and said in a low voice, "That kind of monster is not something that humans can fight against. I shouldn't have listened to you and come here or escape to the polar regions to still survive."
No one answered him.
Some of the remaining people are white-haired old men, some are young teenagers, there are also housewives, and businessmen in brocade clothes. Everyone comes here to deal with the final situation of death.
Roddy is among them.
He silently looked at the people around him.
"It seems that I have the most experience this time." He forced a smile, "otherwise, if I were to lead the team, you might hope for more."
In fact, everyone here understands that they are just the last struggle.
Those who were unwilling to struggle did not come at all and just wanted to wait for death. Those who enjoyed themselves a little more in the end also stayed at their own place. Those who really wanted to find a glimmer of hope were actually the only people like them. There were less than twenty in total.
"According to documentary records, many people have been invaded and tortured by that place from ancient times to the present. Human beings have been looking for ways to get rid of it, but so far, I have not seen a single case that has successfully resisted it.
." A white-haired old man who looked like a scholar whispered. "The only ones who succeed are the evaders, so we should work hard in this direction instead of watching General Urus deploy people to bomb it."
"That's true, but it was because the firepower was not enough before. It's different now. Times are improving." A blond woman disagreed with this statement.
"I came here just to see the legendary evil place that cannot be left." The woman patted the two short knives tied to her thighs with a stern expression.
Roddy looked at the people present. There were everyone here, but they were all gathered together for one reason.
"There is still one day left, maybe we can go find out the situation first." He suggested, "We have been afraid for a lifetime, but in the end we don't even know what we are afraid of. Isn't it ridiculous?"
Everyone fell silent.
Roddy is a well-known old man among their imprinters, and now even he has barely mentioned how to fight against the town. The rest of them just
After a long time, the old scholar among them finally agreed.
"Rody is right, we must understand the truth even if we die."
"If you are willing, just come with me." Rody breathed out, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a match and put it in his mouth. He turned around and walked towards the town.
The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and he still didn't have time to go back. Fortunately, the preparations he made at home were only part of the preparations, and the real focus was still outside. He also brought them with him for this trip.
He is not afraid of death, he is afraid of dying meaninglessly and leaving too many regrets.
But fortunately, he has asked his friends to place his son Luosang there, so there is still hope for the future.
He held a cigarette in his mouth and looked up at the gloomy sky, and smiled involuntarily.
ah!!
Suddenly, a scream came from the distance in the valley behind him.
"Coming!"
"It's a hunter! Are we too close?!"
"Don't panic!"
Everyone suddenly became frightened.
Some of them calmly checked their equipment carefully. Compared to executioners, hunters were slightly easier to deal with.
Rody pulled out a short crossbow from his waist with his backhand, and pulled the coat from his back to reveal the quiver on his back.
whee
Suddenly, a faint burst of laughter floated from a distance, and there was a sweet fragrance in the wind.
"No, it's not just hunters! There are also stranglers!" Rody's expression changed, and he suddenly leaned down and put his ears to the ground.
"There are two hunters, and there are three rather than five stranglers!!"
He turned pale quickly.
Just two hunters are as difficult to deal with as executioners, let alone five stranglers!
"Escape! Disperse!" he growled. Then he stood up and ran away from the town.
The rest of the people also ran after him in a swarm.
Although frightening, this is not the first time such a scene has been experienced. Almost all Marked people present have had many escape experiences, and everyone has their own way of coping.
Although it is panicky, it is not chaotic.
***************
In the evening.
After getting on the train, transferring to a horse-drawn carriage, and then riding an ox-cart for a while, Lu Sheng and Solomon finally set foot on the mud at the edge of the town.
"It only took two days, not bad." Solomon coughed a few times, "I can only send you here. Walk about two kilometers further to that place. How you decide is up to you."
He stopped moving forward.
Lu Sheng looked back at him.
"Thank you. Okay, you can go back."
Solomon nodded, turned around and left without regret.
"By the way." He suddenly stopped, "Rody is from White Eagle. They issued a gathering invitation in the name of White Eagle. I don't know the specific location. However, Meila and the others are also here. You can go here for White Eagle."
Find Meira at the gathering point of the eagles, maybe she can give you clues. She is the leader of the White Eagles."
“Where is the gathering place of White Eagle?”
"Outside the town, to the north, there is the thickest and largest white oak tree five hundred meters away."
"I understand." Lu Sheng didn't even ask why Mela came here at this time. Solomon had done his best to bring him here.
Watching Solomon slowly move away, he turned and looked in the direction of the town.
In fact, what he didn't tell Solomon was that in Luosang's memory, he could find the location of the small town. The small town kept appearing in his dreams every moment, mysterious, dark, and dead.
"Let me see what you are." His eyes calmed down and he strode towards the town.
Inside the Millennium Oak Tree House.
Meera held her hands and looked at the town in the distance. She had already seen Urus' big move, but she didn't have any expectations.
Someone had done this a long time ago. She was concerned about Roddy.
"Rody is also going to be next, maybe I should be the next one." Meira's eyes were filled with helplessness and pain. After so many years, she had survived for so many years, but she still couldn't find any hope to fight against that place.
"I heard that Solomon went to find Rody's son." A thin man wearing a black windbreaker asked in a low voice.
"But the day before yesterday, Solomon sent a message saying that Rody's son knew the truth and was looking for his father."
"Isn't that what Rody's arrangement was like?" Meera frowned. "What if we find it? It's a life in vain. I remember that Rody's son is not a complete imprinter, but if he gets too close to the town,
He will also become a complete imprinter and fall into the same desperate situation as us."
"So what? He will be hunted down just like a half-marked person? Even if he is alive, how long can he live without Roddy?" the man retorted.
"Just look for it." Another tall woman was carefully sharpening her nails with a machete. "I remember that little guy, when I wanted to sleep with Roddy, he yelled at me.
It's not cute at all, even though I used to buy him candies all the time."
"Forget it, I will take care of him when we go back." Meira said calmly, "I remember that Luosang was not in good health and was a bit timid.
Go back and let him get a wife and have children. If possible, give Roddy some grandchildren and live a peaceful life."
"Sister, you are kind-hearted." We have all experienced too many such things. People die, and relatives come to visit, but what will be the final result?
Regardless of anger or pain, facing that place, we can only give up in despair.
"Maybe" Meira smiled.
Suddenly, the voices of members outside the treehouse came in.
"Sister, a man claiming to be Luo Sang is here. He said he is looking for Lord Rody!"
A hesitant female voice came in.
Meera was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses.
"Let him come over." She said calmly.
"good."
"It's a coincidence that he came just as I mentioned him." The tall woman laughed, "It's not completely dark yet, and it happens that we should go back, so we might as well take him back with us."
She walked to the door of the tree house in small steps and gently held the door handle.
"I don't know who is more handsome compared to his father! Maybe I can also taste the chicks." The tall woman had already opened the door and looked up in a daze at the ridiculously strong man in front of her.
man.
The "Tao" woman finished the last word.
"Excuse me, does any of you know where Roddy is?" Lu Sheng looked calm and glanced at the three people in the tree house.
His eyes were full of aggression, and when he looked at the three of them, he wanted to look at three plates of food.
Nicole Fran blinked, and vaguely saw the shadow of the little boy with a runny nose on the face of the man in front of her.
"Are you Luosang?"
Not only her, but Meera and another thin man in the tree house were a little stunned when they saw Lu Sheng.
"Strange monster??!" The man could barely close his mouth. It was the first time in his life that he saw a terrifying man who could compare in size with those monsters.
"Is it you? Fran? I'm here to take Roddy home." Lu Sheng said with a grin.
Nicole Fran looked up at Lu Sheng's strong and tall body, her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.
"Tsk, tsk, you're so strong, but I don't know how it tastes?"
"Alright, Sister Fran, you go ahead. I'll look for Meira. Who's Meira?" Lu Sheng held Fran's shoulders and put her aside like a toy.
Only then did Meira come back to her senses and look at Lu Sheng carefully.
Luo Sang's strength was completely beyond her expectations, with that solid sense of strength, well-proportioned streamlined body, and monster-like bulk.
Let her understand that these are not fancy muscles created by fitness, but a truly powerful structure that combines strength and speed.
Even compared to her own strength, which she has honed over many years, it looks even better from the outside.
"I am, I am Meira, the leader of White Eagle." She stepped forward and said seriously, "If you are looking for Roddy, he has already gone to the Gathering Valley, and he has probably met up with others now."
Lu Sheng frowned slightly.
"Can you tell me the specific location?"
"It's useless if you go." Meira shook her head. "Besides, you shouldn't come. I see that your hands must have practiced your father's Jelello knife skills, right? But even Rody himself
If you are not sure, you will only die in vain if you come."
"You just need to tell me the location." Lu Sheng raised a finger and said carefully.
Meira was silent for a moment and then told the location.
After Lu Sheng carefully asked how to get there, he turned around and left quickly.
After he left, there was still silence in the tree house for a long time.
"That's Luosang, when did Roddy give birth to a son so strong?" The thin man couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, it's time for us to leave. It's hard to leave when it gets dark." Meira whispered.
She intuitively felt that the arrival of this monster-like Luo Sang might bring about some unexpected changes. Although she was still not optimistic that Rody would survive, there might be a glimmer of hope for Luo Sang to survive, but she didn't know for sure.
