Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 606: Which is more important?
"Thank you for your help..." Romi supported his injured right arm, "You saved me again."

The entire commune hut built with honeycomb technology has now turned into building fragments, with debris scattered everywhere and the ground covered with technology hunters standing or lying.

and the body of a gorilla.

"You're welcome. This is our duty." Qi Ke rode on the wolf's back with a serious expression. "Besides, we are the ones who should reflect on the fact that such an incident happened to all the distinguished guests..."

The Wolf Riders were the most mobile of all the troops, and they arrived before the Tech Hunters had time to hold out after the incident.

Dealing with orangutans is also a piece of cake.

However, what made Qi Ke look solemn was that...the orangutans lying on the ground did not have the white hair that they were familiar with.

But it's gray...

Even black.

"Roar!" Several howls were heard from the other side. The wolf cavalry tried their best to subdue several surviving giant ape captives, but to their surprise, the beaked apes, which could be tied up by three or four hive soldiers in the past, were now so strong that they were about to break free and drag them away. They were in a panic for a while.

It was clearly the same people who captured these gorillas not long ago.

In Qi Ke's eyes, compared to the corpses that had stopped changing, the hair color of these living captives was getting darker, gradually evolving towards pure black - this was definitely not normal.

"Roar!" A black beaked gorilla was struggling hard, and both its eyes and voice revealed a sense of brutality.

Qi Ke is already one of the top animal trainers, but when she tries to use her abilities to comfort the other party, she always feels that there is a hazy connection between them.

It becomes harder to tame.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Red King and let him handle it." The girl patted her forehead and gave orders to the wolf cavalry.

To be honest, ever since the construction of the fortress in Shandi, that adult has often "appeared" in the form of the First Flame, so it is quite easy to find him.

The only problem is that even if Qi Ke meets him and wants to report something, the other party will often not make a decision immediately, but will wait until a period of time has passed before conveying it through someone else.

Some people were also worried that his frequent inspections could certainly win over the people and reassure them - but for him, it would delay his training to hone his martial arts and improve his strength.

This is not sustainable.

The Shadow Department, which is responsible for spying and security, even caught some people spreading rumors, saying that this was because the Red King knew that he had reached his level and his personal strength could no longer be improved, so he simply devoted himself to the development of his power.

Commonly known as rotten.

Fortunately, most people don't have a deep understanding of the strong people at this level, and the most widely circulated strength division comes from "Respected Mr. Bud" - he didn't say anything, so these statements didn't have much impact.

On the other side, Liu Si, leaning on the blood-stained golden knife, fumbled on the ground for a while, picked up the half-cracked lens, put it on his nose, and dusted it off.

When he heard Qi Ke take the responsibility, he shook his head and walked forward to ask her about what she knew and what had happened.

But at this moment.

A sudden voice sounded.

"She's right...it's you who should reflect on this!"

Deng Li climbed out of the ruins and looked at the wolf riders around him: "Even your Red King has asked us for help and treated us as VIPs... But how do you do your security work!"

He pointed at the bloodstain on his face, grimacing.

"You captured these orangutans, but they attacked us after the riot... Could it be that you are condoning this?"

After all, there are animal trainers in the land of Shan.

This time, not only Romi and Lius looked at him hurriedly, even the mine hunters who had originally supported Deng Li were a little surprised.

To be honest, they also had doubts in their hearts, but they were not bold enough to raise these issues directly - if they did so, it would undoubtedly be embarrassing for both parties.

And didn’t you oppose Tech Hunters setting up a station in Flash Land... Romi thought, how come it’s like they are asking you for something now?
But the words had already been spoken, and they had no time to stop them. On the other side, the Red King had undoubtedly informed the members of the Flash Land, and they were unaware of the differences within the Tech Hunters, so this big banner could really scare people.

Hearing this, Qi Ke, who was already in a low mood, looked even colder.

If it were my former self.

I have already responded.

But now she is no longer an ordinary animal trainer in the mountain tribe, and her every word and action must take into account the impact on the entire Land of Flash.

"We will find out what happened as soon as possible," Qi Ke lowered her eyes and bowed slightly, "but I can guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with us in Shandi..."

Deng Li raised the corner of his mouth and was about to say something when he heard a whisper in his ear:
"I'll give it up when it's good."

Light as the wind.

The Tech Hunter stopped talking, turned around and helped up his fallen companions.

Seeing this, Romi and Liu Si in the distance also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Deng Li might have just spoken without thinking.

Not to the point of losing your sense of proportion.

"Are there any casualties among the tech hunters?" Qi Ke took a breath and looked at the wolf cavalry beside her, with some expectations in her mind.

These technological hunters are no ordinary people. Plus, they are defending the hut. Even if the orangutan that attacked them before attacks again and has been strengthened, they should not suffer much damage.

If there are any injured, hand them over to the medical department.

Unexpectedly, the wolf cavalry hesitated and said, "They... are missing one person."

When Qi Ke and Liu Si heard this, they both felt a pang in their hearts, but for different reasons.

"One person is missing..." The girl's sharp gaze swept through them.

——Chad.

"Wait," Liu Si stepped forward, "I know that person. Maybe he was beaten up when he was attacked by the gorilla. The situation is quite chaotic..."

He told a little lie.

Chad disappeared before the incident and was a great suspect. Everyone had communicated with the Wolf Riders before about their methods of dealing with orangutans, and everyone knew about the existence of biological gas.

It fits so well with tonight's situation.

Liu Si knew that the poison gas bombs used by Chad were used to kill creatures such as orangutans, but had no other effects...

What he was worried about was that as a technology hunter, he knew the difference clearly, but the herdsmen in Shandi did not have this quality. If they determined that Chad was the culprit, a conflict would inevitably break out between the two sides.

In this way, a technology hunter was falsely accused in Flash... Once the headquarters knew about this, even if Lu Beiyou held their silver card, the station establishment plan, which was not stable to begin with, would completely come to nothing.

What's more, Liu Si felt a little uneasy... Although the poison gas bombs could not incite the gorillas to riot, he couldn't guarantee whether the other party had brought other props.

This leader may remember.

During the voting process, the tech hunter cast a crucial vote against it, becoming the last alien.

If Chad deliberately created conflicts among them because he was determined to oppose the headquarters setting up a station in Shandi...even Liu Si was not sure whether these hunters who came from the Sorrow Mine would do such a thing.

The only solution now.

The decision should be made only by the Red King, who is obviously reasonable and has some understanding of the technical level of the Tech Hunters, rather than leaving it to his subordinates.

Unfortunately, Liu Si's impromptu explanation was obviously not convincing enough.

It's more like prevarication.

"Oh, really?" Qi Ke, who had just been accused of something, was holding her breath. "I wonder when he will be able to come back?" Her words were relatively restrained.

But the hot-blooded wolf riders around them had already made no effort to conceal the suspicion in their eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Just as the situation was about to slide into the direction that Liu Si was most worried about, a crisp vibration tore through the stagnant air.

Click, click, click.

It was the sound of armor colliding.

A knight in black armor, with a long sword on his back and a helmet in his arms, and his beautiful golden hair sticking to his face, walked towards him in silence.

It's Griffin.

When the wolf riders in the room saw him, they all saluted. Although they were not from the same system, as the other party was one of the strongest under the Red King, he was also worthy of respect.

There are also rumors that the promised city currently under construction in Shem is planned based on the drawings he brought, which shows that he has made great contributions.

"——The embers are rekindled." After reciting a prayer, Griffin, as a famous black knight, was very gentle to others. After greeting Qi Ke, the beast trainer, he looked at the tech hunters present and said, "Master Chuhuo wants to see you."

……

……

"I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon," the young man said, with his hands behind his back, "Although what we experienced during this period... was not so relaxing."

His voice echoed leisurely.

Fourteen technology hunters except Chad gathered here. They looked around in surprise: this was actually a large auditorium.

The walls are made entirely of black stone, solemn and dignified. Although the building is not as tall as a watchtower, looking up makes people feel that its dome reaches the sky.

The area here is much larger than the Beaked Beast Tower. Although it only has one floor, it can accommodate at least a thousand people.

"This is the place where the cult holds 'sacrifices.'" The young man turned around. He was wearing a pure black robe with only a silver ash emblem painted on his chest with sparks dancing on it. "The quartz lens on the dome can gather the moonlight. Even in the middle of the night, it doesn't seem dark without lighting... Isn't it a good place?"

No one responded.

As he said, the faint moonlight shone down and illuminated the center of the hall, and the spot of light coincided with the position of the tall man.

The moonlight blended into the black clothes, and the silver emblem flickered. Unlike his previous warrior attire, the other party wore a sacrificial hood, covering his iconic white hair and half of his face.

But it is more mysterious and quiet.

The black stone hall, the moonlit spots, the echoing sound… The tech hunters did not believe in God, but after witnessing this scene, it was not difficult for them to imagine: if this great leader known as the First Flame wore such an attire during a religious gathering, he would probably be able to fascinate people just by standing there.

Griffin simply led them to the door.

He bowed and left quietly.

"...Mr. Lu," Liu Si straightened his mind and forcibly broke the seamless picture, which seemed to have consumed a lot of his energy before he could speak: "I believe that the changes tonight have nothing to do with Shandi, and it has nothing to do with us..."

"I know everything," Unexpectedly, Lu Meng waved his hand and looked at one of the Tech Hunters, "Mr. Deng Li, I heard that you are a little dissatisfied with our treatment of the Flash Land?"

"No, no...that's right!" The sad mine hunter named Deng Li subconsciously wanted to deny it, but then he thought of something and nodded.

In the past, or as an individual, he would never dare to speak to the other party in such a tone, but when he thought that the other party wanted to set up a station in Flash and that he was backed by technology hunters all over the continent, he stood up according to the original plan.

However, just as Deng Li was about to respond, he suddenly froze.

——How did he know?

When he started to rebuke the female animal trainer, everyone was present, but they were immediately led here by the Black Knight without any delay or pause in between.

This hall has a wide view, and when the door opened, Lu Beiyou was the only one inside.

Is there anyone who can tip off?

A chill instantly ran down my spine.

"Mr. Lu, Deng Li was just speaking in anger," Luo Mi hadn't thought about this yet. He just heard that the other party's tone was not right, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and change the subject: "I believe that no matter what happens, it will not affect the cooperation between Shandi and Tech Hunters..."

His words were ambiguous, but the six Mine Hunters who had voted for the Alien understood them and turned their heads to glare at him.

Obviously, although the proposal to assist in setting up a station in Shandi failed after procedural ruling, the two team leaders still decided to complete the commission themselves - this time, they became aliens.

The remaining five Lake Town hunters stood behind their leader and did not speak, but their posture showed their attitude.

The two sides are clearly divided.

The originally cooperative team of technology hunters has shown signs of division.

Liu Si sighed in his heart.

For people who come from Ai Mine Town, once the headquarters focuses their energy on setting up a station in Shandi, even if they successfully promote the acquisition of Ai Mine, the reconstruction work will reduce resource allocation or even stagnate - the latter is their hometown that they care about most.

In his opinion: For the technology hunters of the Depression Lagoon, as long as they complete the guaranteed task of acquiring the Sorrowful Mine Town, it will be enough to deal with the United Cities. To be honest, not many people are willing to go to the ruins in the future. On the contrary, helping to recommend the Flash Land can gain the favor of the Red King - the latter is extremely precious.

After planning a series of events tonight, the contradiction has now been exposed and cannot be hidden anymore.

After thinking this through, he was hesitating whether to confront Lu Beiyou directly, but he heard him say, "I see... I was careless before, everyone actually has different opinions - looking at the situation, even if the two of you report to the headquarters, based on the current conditions of Shandi, Black Scratches may not agree 100% to your request to set up a station here, right?"

When you see the other party, just point it out directly.

Romi could only nod - as Liu Si once said, even if they tried their best, it would still be a matter of probability in the end.

The town of Mine Sorrow was once a big city. Many of the technology hunters in the south came from it, and it was almost comparable to the Lagoon of the Depression.

At Black Scratch headquarters, it was impossible to ignore their opinions.

An unknown person holding a silver card.

And countless hunters from the Mine Town.

It is still unknown which is more important.

only……

"I understand how you feel," Lu Meng said without any surprise or anger, "But I want the relay station in Shandi!"

That is equivalent to giving away a town for free - a town with complete facilities, the most advanced technological exchange opportunities in the entire continent, and a fortress stronghold.

He stepped lightly on the tiles.

Under the surprised gazes of the technology hunters, the black stone bricks at the feet of the young man suddenly loosened, and then slowly rose to become a stone pillar that could be hugged, revealing a compartment in it.

"If the current conditions for the flash land are not enough, then add another chip--"

Lu Meng raised his hand and grabbed the curtain.

Pull it off.

What was revealed was enough to make any true technology hunter stand still:

“Artificial intelligence core.”

He said.
