Several sharp arrows shot through the gaps in the leaves into the night sky, passing by the fleeing night owl.
Several bow-wielding warriors who had just rushed to the vine bridge stamped their feet bitterly, but there was nothing they could do.
They were the warriors responsible for guarding the City in the Clouds. They were usually stationed on this ancient tree of life. Although they reacted very quickly, they still failed to catch up with this sudden battle.
He could only turn to treat the two injured Yuanmen.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
One of the samurai bowed respectfully and thanked Takajing who landed on the vine bridge.
He had just witnessed the astonishing scene of Gao Jing soaring into the sky and defeating the group of night owls, and was deeply impressed by the powerful strength displayed by the latter.
"snort!"
Huang Ying snorted and asked: "Are all your sentries asleep?"
She was almost attacked by a night owl just now. Although she was carrying a protective magic weapon with her, her life was not in danger.
But I was still very frightened and felt very unhappy.
The warrior lowered his head and said: "Our sentry is dead."
There is a sentry tower built next to the vine bridge, and guards are stationed on the sentry tower to keep watch.
As a result, the guard tower guard was attacked by the night owl first, and died on the spot before he could raise the alarm.
Be the only victim tonight!
In fact, facing the threat of night owls, guarding the tower is the most dangerous job.
Huang Ying was stunned for a moment, unable to utter any more words of blame.
"grown ups."
At this moment, a warrior hurried over, holding a huge bird head in his hand.
Surprisingly, it was the monster Night Owl who was severely injured by Gao Jing and then beheaded by Huang Ying!
He held the Night Owl's head in his hands and offered it to Gao Jing.
"A third-level, almost fourth-level Night Owl."
Manager Ye next to him said: "There should be a demon core inside."
Monster-level birds are more likely to condense demon cores than land-based demon beasts, most of which are "wind" and "spirit". Among them, night owl's demon cores are very rare and very valuable.
Of course, to Huang Ying, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, a mere third- and fourth-level demon core is nothing at all.
Not even bothering to pick up the loot.
The samurai didn't dare to keep it for himself after picking it up, so he immediately presented it to him.
Gao Jing didn't answer it and said, "You take it and sell it, and the money from the sale will be given to the family of the sacrificial sentry."
The two warriors both showed moved expressions.
After guard warriors like them die in the line of duty, they can receive a pension.
But the number will not be very large, and it is impossible to guarantee the future life of the family.
But the monster Night Owl that Gao Jing gave up could make the sentry and his family live comfortably for decades!
The warrior in front said solemnly: "Sir Renyi, on behalf of his family, I thank you for your generosity!"
After saying that, he saluted Gao Jing again.
The attitude is much more serious.
Gao Dingding nodded, and then said to Huang Ying: "Let's go."
He and Huang Ying returned to the hotel together.
As soon as he sat down in his room, Gao Jing's eyes flashed and he suddenly looked at the open window on the right.
This hotel is also built on the branches of an ancient tree of life. Because of its very high location, the scenery outside the window is beautiful.
You can see half of the Nero Kingdom.
But Gao Jing was not admiring the scenery, there was a look of vigilance in his eyes.
The dragon-slaying sword was held in his hands at the same time.
"who?"
Keen intuition told Gao Jing that there was a threat to him outside the window!
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly figure quietly "floated" into the room.
He sat firmly on the chair by the window.
Gao Jing was stunned.
The visitor behaved strangely, but there was no hint of hostility or murderous intent.
It turned out to be Huo Yan whom we had just met in the Yunding Tavern!
This guy just told Gao Jing to wait in the hotel for notification to board the airship.
As a result, he is following me sneakily now.
What is the intention?
The most important thing is that the feeling Huo Yan gave Gao Jing in front of him was completely different from before.
The opponent should not be a legendary strongman, at least Gao Jing did not sense the aura of legend in him.
However, his intuition told Gao Jing that Huo Yan's strength was unfathomable!
This feeling is quite weird.
Huo Yan smiled and said, "Are you weird?"
Gao Dingding nodded: "Yes."
Huo Yan sighed: "Those people are becoming more and more unscrupulous."
"Those people?"
Gao Jing couldn't help but frowned: "Who is it?"
"You thought..."
Huo Yan pointed out the window and said meaningfully: "Are all the night owls that attacked us wild?"
Gao Jing's eyes suddenly focused: "You mean?"
"That's right."
Huo Yan said in a deep voice: "Most of the night owls in King Nero's capital are raised as giants!"
He said the last two words with gritted teeth and his eyes almost bursting with fire.
Gao Jing was speechless for a moment.
This was something he had not expected at all, and he couldn't help but ask: "What are those giants doing raising night owls?"
Huo Yan sneered: "Catch us Yuan Min for fun!"
Such an answer made Gao Jing feel incredible: "Play?"
"That's right."
Huo Yan said: "In the eyes of some giants, we Yuan people are just like mice and rabbits. They don't like us living on the ancient tree of life. They think we are parasites and are not worthy of being called humans at all!"
"It's just that we are still useful to them now, so they haven't directly driven us away or eliminated us, but I believe that that day is not far away."
A thought flashed through Gao Jing's mind and he blurted out: "Are you a member of the Resurrection Society?"
"That's right."
Huo Yan replied calmly: "I am the vice-president of the City of Clouds Resurrection Association, Gao Jing, please join us. Only by truly uniting can we Yuan people fight against those evil giants!"
Gao Jing took a long breath.
He learned about the Resurrection Society when he was looking for clues about the Three Witches. The core purpose of this secret organization of the Yuan people is to allow the Yuan people to return to the surface and become the masters of the wilderness again!
Wu San was a member of the Resurrection Society, and he ventured into the Land of the Ancestral Dragon in order to find a way to fight against the giants.
The results are gone forever.
Gao Jing didn't expect that Huo Yan was an important leader of the Resurrection Society!
Facing Huo Yan's eager eyes, Gao Jing shook his head and said, "I don't have such thoughts for the time being."
He felt that the goals of the Resurrection Society were somewhat unrealistic. After all, the power gap between the Yuan people and the giants was too great.
Although there are magic weapons such as the God of War Arms, they cannot be popularized or mass-produced at all.
Gao Jing is not a real Yuan citizen, so why go to the troubled waters?
He felt that the water in the Resurrection Society was also very deep.
Regarding Gao Jing's polite refusal, Huo Yan's eyes flashed with a look of disappointment, but he was not angry: "Everyone has his own ambitions. I can only say that you are welcome to join at any time. I also hope that you can find Wu San."
"It's very possible that he found a way to deal with the giants in the land of the ancestral dragons!"
