In the deathly silent atmosphere, looking at Wu Mian lying unconscious on the ground, his teammates swallowed a mouthful of saliva. No one knew Wu Mian's life-saving ability better than them.
Even if the soul-tracing ritual fails and backlashes, Faceless' ability will definitely be able to escape, unless... someone is behind the scenes.
Outside the dark sky, the pedestrians coming and going did not show any signs of strangeness to the various things in the mansion here, and were still busy with their own affairs.
The blond man looked up, smiled calmly, put his hands behind his back, hummed an unknown tune, and turned around to leave.
There is no need to worry about any unexpected situations, because the hunt for the other Purgatory Daughters who are die-hard loyal to the top leaders of the Griffin City State has already been completed...
There were ripples in the dark sky, and one after another, enchanting figures that were also burning with the deep fire of purgatory, passed through the barrier and appeared around a dozen professionals.
"Make your choice!" The first girl from purgatory showed a bright smile, gently placed her right index finger on her bright lower lips, and said softly,
“My master’s patience is not very good!”
"...Do we have any choice?" A man dressed as a hunter put down his hunting bow, "I surrender!"
"Then, let's sign the contract!"
A golden parchment appeared in front of the man. Its contents contained various restraints and compensations, which were basically equivalent to those of defeated prisoners, and were slightly better than slave contracts.
These blue spirit worlds basically have public templates, you can simply modify them and then copy them.
The only thing that is special is that Luo Chen, at the suggestion of Jia Xu and the others, specially added a clause: In this world, you will no longer be able to sign any notarized contracts with other professionals!
Hunter: "... cruel enough!"
With such an additional contract, it will be almost impossible to win the trust of other forces in the future.
Then, he looked at the dense crowd of witches around him. There were hundreds of them on the surface alone, and every one of them was stronger than them.
You are devils, right? We only have so few people, so why do we need to send the main army to encircle and suppress them?
"...I signed it!"
Under the leadership of the hunter, the group of people who did not want to be eliminated signed contracts one after another. Even Faceless was forcibly awakened by a ball of purgatory fire, and signed the contract with a bitter look on his face.
He originally thought that the person occupying the Star Tower was a genius seed of the engineering construction type. The defense of the place where it was located must be heavily defended, so if he wanted to use soul tracing to pull his main soul over, there might not be a chance of eliminating him.
But, the one who created this battle is called an engineer?
However, why do these witches who are burning with purgatory fire and look like blood elves look familiar?
After signing the contract, Wu Mian carefully looked at it from the corner of his eye, feeling a little confused.
…
Since the Gray Mist Maze was discovered, the gryphon city-state's military strength has been mainly divided into three groups: the 800 gryphon cavalry and the 3,000 city guards who stayed behind in the city-state.
Seal the maze, watch for monsters escaping from it, and attack the 400 griffon cavalry and 8,000 city guards of the griffon city-state.
Finally, it was Luo Chen who sneaked in and was responsible for guarding the 300 gryphon cavalry and 5,000 city guards in the Blackwater Dungeon.
Theoretically, the most dangerous thing is deep in the maze. You never know when the source of mutation will rush out and attack the army.
Therefore, the maze area has the largest number of troops.
However, the people of the Griffin City-State never thought that the first thing to happen would be the military camp guarding the Blackwater Dungeon.
"ah!!!"
In the blue sky and white sun, hoarse screams of despair came from the ground. The sound of panic in the voice made most of the soldiers' hearts sink, and the formation began to become a little commotion.
"What's going on? Those monsters escaped?"
Only a few high-ranking officers with high status like Luo Chen reacted quickly, and then became even more panicked...
In the end, it took more than half an hour to organize the army and surround the military camp where the Blackwater Dungeon was located.
The most amazing thing is that within half an hour, no one thought of letting a few gryphon knights take off and notify the city-state.
High in the air, the three people looking down at this scene were speechless. Jia Xu looked at the handsome man with the most outstanding appearance among the three and praised:
"I suddenly felt that your infantry is not too bad. At least it is not like the following ones. They just heard some threats and were about to blow up the camp..."
The handsome man in Hanfu glanced at Jia Xu, feeling a little upset and not wanting to speak.
Is this a compliment?
On the contrary, it was an elegant man with a feather fan gently waving, and his tone was so gentle that he tried to smooth things over:
"Well, according to the Lord's information, this world has been under the rule of the School of Life for more than a hundred years, let alone war, and there has not even been any large-scale friction."
"It's normal to have poor quality... No big deal, after accepting it, train 'well'!"
"Then, I'm going to control them to 'escape'." The elegant man with a feather fan said softly, "Wen He, the rest is up to you."
Jia Xu looked solemn and responded: "Yes, I'm ready."
In the military camp below, at the underground exit of the Blackwater Dungeon, a chaotic creature with bloody flesh began to hit the black iron cover of the sealed crypt.
"Bang...hiss...bang..."
The violent crashing sound, accompanied by the terrifying alien screams, made all the soldiers feel more and more uneasy, and the few senior officials who knew the truth even turned pale.
"Bang!" The dust was flying, and the old creature escaped from the narrow hole. Feeling the strong breath of life, it roared excitedly.
Its size began to expand rapidly, its tentacles stretched out, and the military camp tent was torn apart instantly. An ugly creature that was dozens of meters in size, with countless tentacles sprouting from its body, attacked the army.
"Monster!!!"
The soldiers of the Griffin City State, who were already under tremendous pressure due to the heavy atmosphere around them, looked at the tentacled creature that was so ugly that it was unspeakable.
Many weak-minded soldiers were instantly defeated by the unknown fear originating from the bottom of their hearts. Before a battle broke out, the entire military camp immediately mutinied.
The three people in the sky looked at each other: "???"
Jia Xu sighed helplessly and stood up: "Don't delay, I'll just go on stage.
This still restrains the intensity of pollution, otherwise I really don’t know how many people will be available after this scene.”
The other two nodded, and they were really speechless about the situation below.
It swallowed up all the old creatures in the dungeon, merged into one, and eventually evolved into a squirming piece of flesh that had no human shape at all. It could only squirm little by little on the ground, leaving some dark gray turbid liquid behind.
Densely packed tentacles attacked the soldier camp, and most of the soldiers were almost defeated in one blow, and then turned into flesh and blood, completely integrated with it.
There are only a few personal guards of no more than a dozen people, relying on the strength of the second-level intruders to support themselves.
"Charge in and kill it, otherwise everyone will turn into monsters!" A red-haired major general more than two meters tall brandished a giant sword and kept charging.
Unfortunately, in reality, passion does not necessarily create miracles.
While several tentacles were cut off, a huge bloody mouth suddenly appeared under the ground and swallowed the red-haired major general.
"General?!"
The soldiers who saw this scene, except for a few personal guards, immediately collapsed, and the feeling of terror quickly spread throughout the military camp.
At the moment when the camp was about to be blown up and a large-scale retreat occurred, a milky-white light fell from the sky, hitting the chaotic carrion creatures and shining in all directions.
It was as if an extremely sacred and kind gentle spring breeze blew through everyone's hearts. All fear and panic disappeared, and the hearts were filled with countless warmth.
A fat figure wearing some other clothes walked out of the light, and behind him was a stout red-haired man who was unconscious...
"Is this a god?"
At the same moment, this thought appeared in countless people's minds seemingly coincidentally.
"Hello everyone, I am a traveler from afar. Can you introduce me to where this is?"
Under the faint milky white light, Jia Xu had an extremely soft smile on his face, which was quite inconsistent with his previous soft smile.
…
What happened next was very simple. With almost the entire top management replaced, Griffin City State quickly fell into Luochen's hands.
And Jia Xu naturally appeared in the sight of the Griffin City State, and at the invitation of the Privy Council, he went to clean up the strange things in the gray fog maze.
Finally, the "Power of Holy Light" was used to significantly reduce the psychedelic sounds outside the maze. There were almost no incidents of soldiers mutating into monsters, and it could even strengthen the soldiers' will.
With this credit, he also became the new honorary elder of the city-state, taking charge of military and political affairs.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Griffin City-State army had hundreds of indifferent officers with expressionless faces, like iron men.
Of course, before Jia Xu "cleared" the maze, Luochen took in several more sages who overestimated their abilities...
In the Grand Elder's Mansion of the Griffin City State, after handing over all rights to Wu Mian and paying a large amount of compensation, he was ordered not to leave the Griffin City State.
Therefore, he could only stay in the mansion and practice.
However, today, he was not alone, but also his teammate Hunter.
"I didn't expect that we would be so unlucky that we would meet the top pick of this year..."
The hunter sighed: "However, I'm a little surprised. Since he has such strong strength, why does he have to take such a big detour?"
Wu Mian glanced at him. He didn't even know why he was obsessed with accepting such a reckless man as his teammate.
"For lone rangers and small team professionals, the Griffin City-State does not have much business value. If it has that kind of strength, it is of course a direct push, draining the wealth and running away..."
"But that one is a lord. For him, the most important thing is to accept the entire territory smoothly and obtain loyal people!"
"So that's it, he deserves to be the captain!" The hunter suddenly nodded, "Then why did he expose himself?"
Originally, Faceless and others were not quite sure of Luo Chen's identity. After all, the daughter of Purgatory, who resembled a blood elf, had not appeared many times on the college entrance examination stage.
Every time they appeared, the focus was basically on Blood Crystal and Luo Chen, and they didn't react for a while.
Until they heard that a white-haired girl in a princess dress was wielding countless bloody tentacles to play with the magician like she was driving away mice.
Later, through some secret channels, they obtained photos of the white-haired girl, and they immediately reacted...
We actually met that devil?!
"Expose yourself?" Wu Mian said indifferently, spreading his hands, "You are wrong. Not every student knows that this year's top pick is in this world, so they will unite and eliminate him first."
"If I had known that this year's top pick was in the Griffin City-State, I would have stayed far away and waited until the first person who tried to trick me appeared, then I would have chosen to surrender, or I would have stayed away..."
"And..." Wulian's face darkened, he glanced around and said seriously, "I suspect that the magician was let go on purpose."
"...There is a high probability that Life City-State also has his plans!"
The hunter subconsciously retorted: "How is that possible!"
He couldn't imagine that there would be such a big gap. Wouldn't he have most of his power sealed by the Eye of Eternity?
Wu Mian said seriously: "Don't forget, we haven't seen his teammates yet..."
Then the conversation changed: "Perhaps, if this is true, we may still have a chance to make a fortune!"
"???"
Do you still want to do business with him?
Have you forgotten that you claimed you wanted to do business with him before, so now you are giving yourself away for free?
Could it be that...you want to "marry" him?
Is this what my sister said about a man on top of a man?
The hunter suddenly had an idea, and then... he was beaten to the head by Faceless!
