Chapter 410 Hell Creek Family
Federation, central part of Montenegro.
Surrounded by a large expanse of primeval jungle, there stands a towering mountain peak.
From a distance, about one-third of the top of the mountain is covered with white snow and surrounded by thick clouds.
"Look, everyone, that's Mount Dynaso. It's the highest peak in the Federation, with an altitude of 6,435 meters. It's also the only mountain in the Federation that has not been conquered by humans."
On the outskirts of the primitive jungle, a group of tourists, led by a guide, overlooked the towering Mount Dynaso.
"Why?" a tourist asked curiously: "Is it because it's too high?"
The tour guide shook his head, "It has nothing to do with the height. Many peaks in the world that are higher than Mount Dynaso have not been able to stop the climbing team. The reason why this place has never been conquered is because it belongs to the private property of a large family." ”
"Private property?" Many tourists asked in surprise: "The whole mountain?"
"To be exact, including Mount Dynaso and the primitive jungle starting from here!" The tour guide smiled and pointed to a warning sign not far away: "Our visit can only end here. If you go forward, it's your private property.”
The tourists looked at the warning sign and saw it read: "This is the private property of the Hell Creek family. Trespassers will be responsible for the consequences."
"Hell Creek Family?" A young man curled his lips and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Is it such a big pomp?"
The girl next to him also looked around: "I didn't see any fence or anything like that. What would happen if someone didn't notice the warning sign and walked in?"
"Don't try it out of curiosity." The tour guide warned: "I don't know what the relationship between the Hell Creek family and the Montene State government is, but I can tell you with certainty that they have the right to do whatever they want in their own private territory. Deal with any intruders. As far as I know, more than a thousand people disappear every year because of straying into this jungle. I don't want you to be one of those thousand.”
"Okay, everyone, come over here, let's go to the next location, where we can see Mount Dynaso better..."
Under the guidance of the tour guide, the tourists turned and walked towards the tour bus. Only the man and woman seemed a little unwilling to look back at the deep jungle.
Especially the young man, he seemed to feel that there was some unknown existence in the jungle, stimulating his curiosity.
"Qiao, let's go quickly, the bus is about to start. What's there to see in this broken forest!"
"Oh..." Facing his girlfriend's call, the young man finally came to his senses, looked back, and left with the large group.
After the tour group left, a huge monster slowly appeared deep in the jungle.
This monster is four to five meters tall and more than ten meters long. It is covered in hard scales and has a large **** mouth. Its two small arms are huddled in front of its chest. Its thick and long tail stretches straight back, and is in contact with the front half of its body. Maintaining balance, it looks like a carnivorous dinosaur that traveled from ancient times.
"Really, that man almost walked in..."
The huge carnivorous dinosaur moved its lips and spoke human words, with a hint of regret in its tone.
At this moment, a dull cell phone ringtone rang. The big dinosaur was stunned for a moment and looked down. Then his body shape changed, fading away from the appearance of the dinosaur, and finally revealed a tall, unshaven man who looked to be in his forties. blond man. As he returned to his human form, the ringtone on his cell phone became clearer.
The man reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone, answered it impatiently, and put it to his ear.
"Hello? I'm taking a walk? What's the matter...what?!" The man sounded lazy and impatient at first, but when he said it normally, his blue eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of shock.
"Charles is dead?!"
"Yes..." A cold female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Your good-for-nothing brother who was sent to Cathay on a mission, his life signal just disappeared."
"He is also my brother in Wasteland!" The man looked angry: "Who did it?"
"We don't know yet..." the woman said, "Elder Lessard wants to see you and discuss this matter with you."
The man turned his head and glanced at the mist-shrouded Dynaso Mountain in the distance, and snorted coldly: "I'll go there right away."
After hanging up the phone, the man tiptoed into the air, changed his body shape in mid-air, and turned into a pterosaur with a wingspan of more than eight meters. He flapped his wings and flew all the way to the top of the mountain.
From a distance, the top of Mount Dynaso is covered with snow all year round, looming in the clouds. However, as the pterosaurs continue to approach and pass through the clouds, a lush green paradise is actually revealed among the vast white snow. !
Yes, on the top of a mountain with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, unlike the perpetual snow below, the climate here seems to have been changed by some mysterious force, becoming warm and humid, with various rare plants growing, forming a Extensive and beautiful gardens. In this garden, you can see a large castle built on the mountain, with various towers, houses, and statues scattered in an orderly manner, like an ancient city in the sky.
The pterodactyl flew directly to one of the tall towers, transformed back into human form in the air, and landed on the window sill of the tower.
"You didn't go through the door." Standing on the window sill was an intellectual beauty with glasses and long blond hair. Although she blamed her words, it could be seen from her expression that she seemed to be prepared for the man's unconventional approach. .
"I only care about my brother's safety." The man snorted, and the woman sighed, turned her head and waved her hand, opened the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, and led him in.
There is a circular hall on the top floor of the tower. There is a huge desk facing the balcony. An old man with a white beard wearing glasses is writing at the desk. After noticing the man, he raised his eyelids and looked over his face. Hua Jing glanced at him.
"Elder Lessard!" The man walked straight to the desk and slapped his hands on the table: "What happened to my brother?"
Lessard did not answer his question directly, but frowned: "You have reached the peak, and you are still so frizzy..."
As he said that, he sorted out what he had just written: "Niklai, don't forget, you are facing an old guy who is more than a hundred years old. My heart cannot withstand your surprise. "Stop pretending to me..." Nikolai snorted: "I don't think that the old monster who reached his peak more than half a century ago is the same as an ordinary centenarian."
"It's just the peak, it's not the emergence after all..." Elder Lessard sighed: "Our lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people, but after all, we still cannot escape the brilliance of time..."
As he spoke, he took off his spectacles and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "In the past few years, I have clearly felt that my eyes have begun to blur, and my body functions have begun to decline uncontrollably... Listen to me, kid, you are more talented than me, take advantage of this If your physical condition allows it, stop looking lazy and find a way to become an immortal. That is the true destination of a cultivator."
"I'm not here to listen to you preaching!" Nickle gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to know how my brother is doing?"
Elder Lessard shook his head: "I don't know..."
"I don't know?" Nikolai frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"His life signal disappeared." The bespectacled woman on the side said: "Other than that, no other information was sent back."
"He has a cross of rebirth!" Nickle gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that the life monitoring system misidentified it?"
The bespectacled woman shook her head: "The system showed that his life signal disappeared twice. The first time it disappeared briefly and then recovered instantly. Then a minute later, his signal disappeared again..."
"The ghost state after the cross is activated lasts exactly one minute..." Nikolai realized something, but his eyes widened, unwilling to believe it.
"This means...the cross didn't help him escape the opponent's grasp. After he was released from the ghost state, he was killed again in an instant." Lessard looked at Nikolai and said word by word: "The opponent is a He is a master who has no power to fight back!"
"Can kill Charles instantly..." Nickle gritted his teeth and said: "Although his strength is not very good, he will not be killed so easily. Is his opponent at the top?"
"It's very possible." Lessard nodded.
"Could it be the Yuanxiu Society?" Nikolai snorted coldly: "Those guys have been unwilling to cooperate with us..."
"Impossible." The bespectacled woman immediately retorted: "The Yuan Xiu Order in Cathay has always been very measured in their affairs. Even if Charles violated the rules there, the most they can do is control him and negotiate with us to solve the problem. They won't Killed so decisively.”
"And not only Charles, but other clan members who were with him in Cathay have also lost contact. We have reason to believe that they have all died in Cathay and Ningdong! The Yuan Xiu Society will never do this Such an outrageous thing.”
"Ning Dong..." Nikolai frowned: "I applied to investigate the cause of Charles' death!"
Elder Lessard chuckled: "Then why do you think I came to you?"
With that said, he handed the materials he had just written to Nikolai: "I know you have never been to Cathay, and you don't know much about Ningdong. This is the information I compiled about the local cultivator forces in Ningdong. Among them, It also includes inferences about the cause of Charles' death, which should be useful to you."
Elder Lessard was so proactive that it surprised Nikolai. He took the materials in a daze: "Didn't the patriarch always prohibit me from leaving here? I thought I needed to ask for his approval..."
"That's because your character is too easy to get into trouble." Lessard smiled: "Now you have reached the pinnacle. After several years of consolidation, your realm has long been stable. Except for those few people in the main world who can defeat you, In addition to being immortalized, I can count them all on one hand. I have already communicated with the clan leader that it is time for you to come out. "
"Of course, what's more important is that because you haven't been in the public eye all year round, and the Yuanxiu Society doesn't have any information about you, it's easier for someone who no one knows to move around."
"You want me to act secretly?" Nikolai frowned: "Aren't you representing the Hell Creek family?"
"If something like this happens, the Hell Creek family will definitely have to arrange for people to go to Cathay to negotiate with the Yuanxiu Society. However, official personnel will definitely be closely monitored and their actions in Cathay will be severely restricted. In contrast, we need A dark line, while taking care of the bright line, allows you to move more freely.”
"But accordingly, you must also remember that no matter what, you cannot reveal your identity from the Hell Creek family. Similarly, if you have an accident, the Hell Creek family will not recognize your identity. You can only rely on Solve the problem yourself. This means that if you accept this task, you will be removed from the Hell Creek family."
"It's best this way, so you don't have to tie your hands and feet." Nikolai nodded after hearing this and looked through the information in his hand: "How many peaks does Ning Dong have?"
In the information Elder Lessard gave him, a list of people who had the ability to kill Charles was specifically marked. In addition to Su Manchen, who was definitely at the peak, and Yuan Shouzhen, whose strength was not inferior to that of the peak. In addition to these two people, there were two other people marked in it. Their names are Ling Xin and Xing Yang.
"Yuan Shouzhen should not be in Ningdong at the moment, but when you are active in Ningdong, you will probably come into contact with him, so I provided his information. As for the remaining two, they are not at the peak yet, but because of their special abilities , they have the ability to compete with the best, and they can also kill Charles instantly.”
The girl with glasses introduced: "In addition to these people, there is another important clue, which is that Charles was investigating the whereabouts of the Eternal Star. He regularly reported the progress to the elders, which recorded the direction and progress of his investigation. If you investigate further, you may find some clues.”
"I understand." Nikolai closed the document and nodded: "When should I leave?"
"Now, immediately." Lessard said: "The helicopter is ready and will take you to the nearest airport. I have booked a ticket for you to Ningdong. I hope you can investigate the truth about Charles' death and give yourself An explanation from my brother in heaven.”
"I will!" After saying that, Nikolai walked directly to the window sill, transformed into a pterosaur again and took to the air, flying towards the apron.
After taking a look at Nikolai's leaving figure, the bespectacled woman returned to Elder Lessard: "Is it really appropriate to let this guy out?"
Lessard sighed: "The death of Charles is not important. Our real goal is still the Eternal Star. But in order to find that thing, we have used all the methods we can and found nothing in the end. It's time to take another strong dose. The medicine is gone.”
"Niklai is a lunatic. He doesn't care about the Eternal Star, but the death of Charles will definitely make him show his craziest side." Lessard smiled: "A peak of madness is enough for those Cathayans. I was a little shocked!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old guy suddenly coughed violently. The bespectacled woman on the side quickly took the handkerchief. Lessard covered his mouth and coughed a few times. When he took it away, he saw a purple-black blood stain in the handkerchief.
"I'm afraid I don't have much time..." Lessard gritted his teeth and said, "I hope that thing... comes in time..."
