Chapter 489

The scenery has that feel, so next, is it time for the 'special guests' to make their debut and interact with the main characters?
not at all.

At least the monsters here don't seem to be in a hurry at all.

It seems that they intend to let the protagonists take a walk first and continue to create the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, all of this seems like a beautiful show for the blind.

In the treasure hunting team, four of them are like wearing filters, and the remaining one is not a human.

However, there were still some noises that could attract attention.

'Aho-ho-hey! Aho-ho-hey! Aho-ho-hey-aho-hey!'

The clear rhythm and simple melody seem to be a labor song that encourages individuals to work together.

Harold and the other three were a little suspicious about it.

What Hei Luobo was concerned about was that this trumpet did not have the characteristics of brainwashing with magic sound.

At this time and here, why bother with this useless thing?

"Could it really be just a work song?" He pondered this and became curious.

Of course, Hei Luobo knew very well that at this time, excessive curiosity would most likely trigger trouble.

He was not afraid of anything, but he felt sorry for his extraordinary power which was constantly being expended like water.

So he decided to just go his own way and deal with anyone who tried to show off and got close to him or blocked his way.

His main goal now is one and only one, which is to reach the phantom core of the World Tree Laganir.

He didn't care much about the natural treasure trove accumulated over thousands of years, but the curse created by the elves must be dealt with, at least it must not hinder his future infrastructure construction and farming here.

Continue to move forward in the direction of the phantom of Laganil, the goal seems to be always ahead.

We walked for more than an hour, and the labor songs kept ringing in our ears.

Hogan used the Life Colonization Suit's built-in function to complain in the team channel: "This construction site is quite large. Could it be that the elves are still building tombs for all the members of the last elven kingdom after their death?"

Because parasitic puppets are equipped with life-growth equipment when they are generated, they can chat in a channel without transmitting even a single sound to the outside world.

To be honest, it's really boring to just walk away in silence.

Especially with the complete replacement of puppet colonial suits, they don't have to worry about anything, but they are also becoming more and more bored.

Then let’s have a chat.

"Mr. Rob, can you communicate with us freely in this special sound field?" asked Lei Sili.

"Of course." Hei Luobo replied simply. He did not point out that this was a modified encrypted communication network, not a sound field.

“Sir, I have never understood why a being like you would be attracted to this cursed land?

In my opinion, the so-called "natural treasure house" is probably just a concept that is more of a name than a practical one for you, and is not worth your condescension at all."

If they are contacting outsiders at the market level, the treasure hunting team will send out the experienced and chivalrous Old Molin.

But if you are negotiating with the powerful or high-end strange people, then it will be Lei Sili who comes into play.

Although she is not, but at least she has some connection with professional training, and she can still play the role of an intellectual woman who is well-educated and well-mannered.

Another thing is the capital she has as a woman. For the eccentrics at their level, this is not shameful. Everything is for a living.

Of course, the "livelihood" of the extraordinary people is quite different from the "livelihood" in the perception of ordinary people. From the perspective of ordinary people, it is more appropriate to call the livelihood of the extraordinary people a career or a dream.

There is no doubt that Harold and the others are also extremely concerned about the issue raised by Lei Sili, as it is related to each other's interests and even the success or failure of the adventure.

Hei Luobo pondered for a moment and said, "I am looking for a place where I can build a foundation from scratch. This cursed land barely meets the criteria."

Lei Sili asked, "You mean there are some unusual treasures here?"

Hei Luobo smiled and said, "If I say no, most of you will not believe me. After all, when choosing a place for development, people always have their eyes on something, especially this kind of land with extraordinary pollution.

But what I want to say is that different perspectives lead to different perceptions.

From your perspective, these are just some exotic flowers and plants. Rather than being the legacy of the elves, they are the crystallization of tens of thousands of years. The curse of the elves has provided them with protection, allowing them to grow safely to this day.

I have been traveling and searching for a suitable place, and I don't know as much about this place as you do. But I will not question the intelligence and greed of my colleagues who destroyed this last elven kingdom ten thousand years ago.

Simply put, everything that was of decent value and could be looted was looted, and there was no missing treasure as you think.

But from my point of view, it’s okay as it’s a place where few people go and there are some remaining supernatural powers.

White cloth is good for painting.

This is obviously not a white cloth. The elves once lived here, but the remaining souls of the elves have basically turned into a curse.

It's like a canvas that is not clean, but has paint splashed all over it so it can be used as a base color.

With a canvas, paint, and background color, for me, I can paint.”

"I see." Lei Sili responded and asked, "Then what do you think the purpose of the adventure group following us is?"

Hei Luobo shook his head slightly: "I don't know, and I don't want to know. So I set up some unique traps where the mountains enter the ice field to entertain them.

The Sith henchmen, as well as the elite combat-type singularities trained in small-scale mass production, made me realize that this team was probably backed by a powerful supernatural force.

I don't want to leave too direct and conspicuous marks on them, so as to attract retaliation from powerful supernatural forces.

I hope they will voluntarily withdraw due to setbacks in their actions, or die at the hands of the evil in this cursed land. That way, even if I use time travel, it will not be easy for them to pour their evil fire on me. "

"Understood……"

Harold and the others were actually skeptical about Hei Luobo's explanation, which was quite convincing, but at least after hearing this explanation, their hearts were temporarily calmed.

He had been in a state of panic before, but due to the combined pressure, he felt that it was inappropriate to confront Hei Luobo directly, so he pretended to be submissive and submitted temporarily.

After all, no matter how smoothly the explanation was, it was a fact that Kuroobo refused to sign a soul contract with them.

In fact, Hei Luobo did not lie to them.

The soul condition of Hei Luobo is very special. If he separates a blood snake and signs a contract with them, will it have enough binding force?
But sometimes the truth doesn't matter.

What Harold and the others wanted was psychological consistency after the dramatic change in their relationship. How could they go from being temporarily hired tools to being masters all of a sudden, while they became beasts of burden instead?

If they had to bow their heads temporarily just because their fists were big and the situation was difficult, then the fire of resistance and betrayal would actually begin to burn quietly. It would not be surprising if there was any hellish drama to follow.

And if it is confirmed that there is still a possibility of a win-win situation, then it is completely acceptable for them to obey orders, make side drums, and shout "Boss 666", "Boss, please take me flying".

They are indeed noble figures in the mortal world, but they are in the supernatural world. As the saying goes, earning dollars and spending dollars, the valuable currency in their eyes is supernatural resources, and the valuable things in the eyes of mortals are not completely commodity prices for them, but they are almost the same as Zimbabwean dollars. Some people may say: "What's wrong with Zimbabwean dollars? They are also legal tender. They bully the weak. Can't they exchange more for something?"

But this brings us back to the issue of hunting rabbits for survival in the wilderness. Catching rabbits involves consumption, all-round. Even if one succeeds in hunting a rabbit, the supplement obtained is relatively limited. Even if one does not go beyond one's means due to one problem or another, it is still only a short-term solution to urgent problems. In the long run, it will not work.

What's more, this world has long passed the era when Indians roamed North America. Even if there still seem to be herds of buffalo and wild horses, they actually have owners.

Hei Luobo formed a gang at Olde Wharf in the Kingdom of Irulan, and they caused so much trouble. With the abilities of Harold and the others, how could they dare to be the first to take action?
The major forces that control the cake are now playing the game of putting stability above everything else. For those who do not follow the rules, they will nip them in the bud and make an example of them. Whoever is the first to stand out will be punished severely.

As the old saying goes: As long as they can get enough food and clothing, how many people are willing to do a business that will cost them their lives? It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!

This statement is somewhat inappropriate when applied to Harold and others, but this inappropriateness is only because of the differences in their abilities and the circles they are in; the essence is actually the same.

A breath of life is not just breathing, but spirit and hope.

Mortals have limited abilities and low aspirations. In contrast, extraordinary people seem to have higher aspirations.

But the classes are solidified, the laws and rules are like a net, and they are even specially set for the majority of people. Although they are not in the same area, the extraordinary people also live under the sky.

In a situation where there seems to be some hope, how many people would choose to commit suicide?

Of course, Harold and his men are relatively accustomed to taking risks and fighting for their lives. They still have some blood in their veins. If the emotional atmosphere is right, they are not afraid of risking their lives.

But precisely because of this, clear thinking is more important to them, and cognitive self-consistency corresponds to this concept.

With Hei Luobo's explanation, Harold and the others could finally give themselves an explanation.

Afterwards, they chatted about some other topics, all of which were trivial matters, and before they knew it, midnight had arrived.

The scenery before everyone's eyes changed again.

Although the changes were not particularly obvious, they were drastic enough in the eyes of the treasure hunting team.

Not to mention anything else, just the labor songs that Hogan had previously complained about were more realistic than ever.

It seemed far and near before, and was erratic and hard to determine.

Ignore it beside your ear, pay attention to it being nearby, but if you get too serious you will find it behind some trees.

Harold and his friends knew that some traps that play with people's mentality are based on the mechanism that determines that you can't pay attention to them. The more you pay attention to them, the more excited they are, and the more you interact, the deeper you get into it. But you can't ignore them completely, which is very deceptive.

If it weren't for Hei Luobo, they would have had no choice but to use up their resource reserves and try to get through this soft invasion.

Harold and the others also knew that what they enjoyed was not just the erosion of the magic sound.

There were bound to be various traps along the way, but because Hei Luobo was very powerful and willing to protect them, they took precautions and even the conditions for triggering them were not met.

Some of them are hugged by thighs, and they still smell very good.

Now that the labor songs have become more intense, they all realize that they should increase the intensity and get down to business.

Sure enough, after walking a little further, the trees began to become visible, and a light appeared ahead. Soon after, the group came to an open space in the woods.

Then you can see many figures, some hunched over, some crawling, working while singing labor songs.

These laborers include elves and other creatures, and whether they have two legs or four legs, they are all hard laborers.

They cut down and process trees, cut and polish stones, and after rough processing, they are transported to the next place for fine processing, working on an assembly line.

In the distance, a palace-fortress-like complex was being built under the light of the blood moon and the illumination of countless lights.

"Is this... a recreation of the construction process of the last elven kingdom?" Hei Luobo looked closely and quickly denied this speculation.

As far as he knew, the last elven kingdom had only one city, built on the foundation of the World Tree.

Not to mention the main material.

With the World Tree as its base, its atmosphere is most likely that of a place close to nature.

The most intuitive external manifestation is that although it is obviously artificial, the style is as close to the natural effect as possible, as if it were the work of nature's magic.

The city in front of us has the solemnity of a fortress and the magnificence of a palace. It is beautiful, but its style is closer to the beauty of culture, art, and civilization. It highlights the understanding of nature and the pursuit of beauty by intelligent life, rather than nature itself.

At the same time, Harold and the others instinctively paid more attention to those who were working.

The number is too huge. I don’t know if it’s over 100,000, but it’s definitely in the tens of thousands.

The super large construction site was bustling with people and pack animals from far away.

Just because of this amount, Harold and his friends who suddenly broke in couldn't help but feel nervous. With so many monsters and evil spirits, if they used the blood moon transformation, even if they stood still and let them chop them, they would probably be exhausted to death.

"How are we going to get through? Just walk straight ahead and hope they can't see us?" Hogan seemed a little impatient.

There is no way. Even from the outside, you can see that the puppet suit has additional armor. Not to mention the protective power, the isolation effect must be stronger.

But he only had the Life Colonization Suit, and if he wanted to equip it properly, half of it would have to be on the Elf tapestry.

Outsiders may not know what the Elvish tapestry is made of, but Hogan, as one of the extraordinary people who witnessed the birth of this item, naturally knows it very well.

Before, we had to make do with what we had and had to use it even though it didn’t smell good. Now, I find it unattractive.

This kind of makeshift magic weapon might be able to deceive the powerful elf curse, but now we are facing evil spirits and monsters, and it seems unrealistic to expect the tapestry to work.

At this moment, dark clouds covered the moon in the night sky.

This cloud comes very unnaturally.

A moment ago, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, illuminating thousands of miles, and the countless torches on the ground formed a beautiful contrast.

The next moment, a cloud gathered, like half a curtain, covering the blood moon completely.

And with this change, the numerous torches on the super construction site, like stars, burst into light, leaping with blue flames.

The firelight reflected in the evil eyes of a hundred thousand monsters, causing the scarlet light in them to turn into a dark green color.

Then, they seemed to have received a notice to finish work, and they were stunned for a second or two, and then they simply stopped the work at hand completely.

Those who were closer to the treasure hunting team turned around and looked at the group of five with expressionless faces.

At the same time, the blood on their bodies faded, and their originally plump and normal bodies revealed their true form, with either rotten limbs, or withered fur, or dry flesh and black bones. In short, there was not a single normal living creature.

Harold and the others felt frightened and under great pressure as they were stared at by so many skeletons and corpses. Although they knew that the puppet suits isolated the inside and had no characteristics of living beings to the outside, they were still frightened and instinctively dared not move, as if they were under a spell of immobilization.

Hei Luobo had an amused look on his face, feeling a little amused and helpless.

It is said that this super formation is not presided over by any intelligent being like a spirit of an artifact. The scene of dark clouds covering the moon was staged in a timely manner, and it was obvious that the existence of the treasure hunting team was discovered through some unconventional means.

But if we say that there is some kind of AI in charge, it is obvious that he is using the law of immortality to protect the team members, but the other party has taken the initiative to withdraw the blood moon's magic buff and replaced it with the immortal buff of the underworld for the spirits. Isn't this a gift to him?
It was delivered right to his mouth, and the sincerity was so strong that he became suspicious and was afraid to accept it...
