Chapter 879 Mysterious Centaur

After these lucky ones made a lot of money, they disappeared.

However, the abandoned mining area after mining is marked on the map.
And these guys have stayed in this ghost place for half a year, and they must have established complete defense facilities. At this time, after the adventure team enters, they can move in safely after simple renovations.

The communicator on the goat already had a signal, and it was trying to contact the guards in the camp. Otherwise, if you approached the camp rashly, you might fall into a trap or be directly attacked by the sentinel.

When the two were exchanging information through the communicator, Fang Linyan inadvertently observed a black figure lying on the nearby hill, and his brows were immediately frowned!
Because it was a strange and huge figure, which seemed to be watching the direction of the camp on the high ground, and seemed to blend perfectly into the darkness. If Fang Linyan was not a contractor, he could just see its outline from the corner of his eyes. Ordinary people really is imperceptible.

Fang Linyan waved his hand immediately, making the team stop, and said at the same time:
"Be careful, there is a situation."

The goat said in astonishment:
"what?"

The liaison officer in the camp has been replaced by Tarun who is on duty. He is very concerned about Fang Linyan and the others, so he is also asking questions at this time.

"Is there a problem buddy, the radar shows you stopped?"

Fang Linyan frowned and said:

"There seems to be something strange spying on our camp over there, I plan to go and have a look!"

Tarun immediately said anxiously:
"Dude, are you sure that's not a warg or something? It's too dangerous, and the night is the home of native creatures. I don't think it's better not to go."

To be honest, Tarun was sincere this time, because Fang Linyan and his group were considered elite among the remaining people.

He knows welding, is able to investigate, and can also give very pertinent opinions. Although Fang Linyan and the others may save a lot of commission if they have an accident, Tarun doesn't want them to have an accident now, because it means that the strength of the team will be damaged again. His own chances of survival will drop accordingly!

Fang Linyan squinted his eyes for a while and said:

"It shouldn't be. Wargs appear in groups."

After hearing this, Tarun said helplessly:
"Uh! Well, then you should be careful, and run away as soon as possible, and I will arrange for someone to come and pick you up."

"Row!"

Soon, Fang Linyan and the others circled directly behind the creature. From the rear, it looked like a huge beast with two distinct horns on its head, which seemed to be like a cow or a sheep.

Thinking of the taste of kebabs, Fang Linyan immediately planned to keep them, and saw that the black shadow's limbs lay motionless on the ground, with a long fluffy tail trailing behind him, spying towards the camp.

However, the three of Fang Linyan got closer to within 50 meters, and even the vulture's shadow clone had just touched about 30 meters before the black shadow turned around suddenly, and its movements were very vigorous and agile.

Only then did Fang Linyan realize that it was not a beast, but a humanoid intelligent creature!
This guy has an old complexion and messy long hair, which seems to be a non-mainstream style of washing, cutting and blowing. He has a pair of elf-like ears on the side of his head. It is also covered with a stomach like shells.

The most eye-catching thing is that it holds a seemingly ordinary spear in its right hand.

There are actually a few green leaves at the end of the spear handle.However, the tip of the spear looks blunt, but when the sight falls, it gives people a "very dangerous" feeling, as if the subconscious mind is reminding itself that it must not be touched.

"This is... a centaur?"

Such a term suddenly appeared in Fang Linyan's mind.

At this time, I looked closer and saw that the old centaur had many scars on its thighs, upper body, and arms. At first glance, it should have been through many battles, and there were even a few fresh wounds on its body. Fortunately, these wounds have healed. The bleeding scab, even so, still looked pretty miserable.

Judging from the old man's lame leg and the spear he was holding, his role should belong to a certain tribe's hunter or wilderness guard. It seems that he has just experienced a thrilling and fierce battle.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Fang Linyan's mind, and finally asked:
"Who are you and why are you here?"

The old centaur stared at Fang Linyan for a while, then said lightly:
"Young humans, I see the breath of death in you."

Fang Linyan's face suddenly turned ugly:
"Really? There are many people who want my life, but now I am still alive and well, but those who want me to die are almost all dead."

The old centaur said calmly:

"Don't get excited, I know you will have such a reaction, but it's okay, my name is Varden, and I am a centaur. The Goddess of Wind told me that there is a familiar smell here. I thought I found my lost companion, but I didn’t expect that the people camping here were humans.”

"You have a strong smell of blood on your body. It should be that you have just hunted down a lot of wolves. This is why I stopped to talk to you. Do you know? These ferocious guys have masters!"

Hearing Waden's words, Fang Linyan suddenly felt heartbroken, because they were indeed the Wolf King Ghost Howl who had just hunted down the scavenger wolf!And there was a clear reminder in the space before, saying that I and others were contaminated with soul imprints, which could be easily detected by some intelligent creatures in this world.

At this time, Vulture also shared a series of information in the team channel, which they collected on the way to the planet by spaceship, including information about centaurs.

In this plane, centaurs used to have a glorious history, and could even rely on the mysterious plane gate to migrate on various planets. Therefore, even if they have fallen at this time, they can still find their species on various planets in the vast universe.

This intelligent species did exist on Planet Tyne, and they were also mentioned in many myths and stories, calling them great sages, but no one has seen them since this green planet was desolate them.

Legend has it that centaurs are descendants of tree gods, also known as tree shepherds. Among them, there are many guys who are proficient in strange abilities. Centaurs have a special liking for plants, and seem to have the ability to give birth to all things on the desolate surface.

At this time, Fang Linyan's eyes were also attracted by a necklace on Waden's neck.

The necklace is made of interlaced rattan, it is a string of plants, there is a pie-shaped pendant under the necklace, small and round, strictly speaking, it is a gray stone, and the carvings on the pendant are also thorns !It looks very similar to the necklace on the wolf king's neck.

Obviously, there should be some kind of unknown relationship between Varden and the wolf king.

Therefore, Fang Linyan narrowed his eyes and said:

"Wolves cannibalize people. I feel that we are completely justified. We have no choice but to kill wolves. But if we do it, we will do it. It is only natural that you want to avenge that wolf. We will continue."

Waden obviously noticed Fang Linyan's scrutinizing gaze, and said lightly:
"Don't be nervous, human, if I am hostile, I will attack immediately. The pendant I'm wearing looks similar to the pendant of wolves' status, but there is still a difference."

The goat went up and took a closer look and said:
"It seems to be a little bit. The thorns on the necklace I have seen have flowers, but his thorns are fruits."

Varden said slightly surprised:

"It seems that you have really read the howling pendant in detail? The fruit can be picked and eaten by passing travelers, satisfying thirst and hunger. It also represents sacrifice and salvation. This is also the creed of our Magram sect."

"The ghost howl is a powerful creature tamed by the Kyrgyz sect. There are many thorns that bloom flowers, but the most famous one is black buckthorn. This flower is highly poisonous, but its smell is intoxicating. It tempts outsiders with benefits. To die, which is also similar to the code of conduct of the Magram sect."

At this time, the goat took out the necklace of Ghost Howling and identified it:

"It seems to be so."

And in the next second, the howling pendant lighted up with a silver light, dancing like a firefly, and the pendant on Waden's neck did the same.

Not only that, an indescribable sound slowly spread into the minds of the three of them, like the sound of wind, bells, and raindrops, completely like the sounds of nature.

The stones on the two pendants were suspended at the same time, and they were close to each other in the air. People couldn't help but want to reach out and touch them, just like a newborn baby instinctively looking for the mother's pacifier, which made him unable to control himself.

It's a pity that after the two stones shone for a while, the halo faded, and then they became dim, returned to normal, and fell to the ground.

Waden said in surprise:

"Strange, why does this pendant resonate with mine?"

It stepped forward quickly, picked up two stones, looked at them carefully, and said in shock:
"Is this the howling pendant?"

Fang Linyan said:

"Yeah, the smell of blood you smell is its."

Waden shook his head and said:

"It's unbelievable! Can you tell me how you killed it?"

Fang Linyan said:

"If you tell us one thing first."

Wadden said:
"what's up?"

Fang Linyan said:

"What's your relationship with Ghost Howl?"

Varden said in a melancholy voice:
"Fifty years ago, there was an extremely powerful tribe of tree shepherds on the land called the Jim tribe, but later this tribe had a great dispute because of their different ideas and two heirs who refused to obey the other."

"In the end, the powerful Jim tribe split into the Magram tribe and the Kyrgyz tribe, and this ideological split could easily lead to extreme events. Therefore, when the two sides split, they killed each other and forged a deep blood feud."

"However, the two tribes originally came from one body, so they are very similar in many aspects. My identity is very complicated. I am a member of the Magram tribe, and the ghost howl is a beast spirit tamed by the Kyrgyz tribe! So, it doesn't matter to me that you killed Ghost Howl."

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"That would be the best. We actually came here with a peaceful mind. We don't want to seek any benefits or kill any creatures here. Our purpose is actually very simple, to bring a friend who got lost here home."

As Fang Linyan said, he signaled Vulture to take back the stone on the howling necklace.

After hearing Fang Linyan's words, Waden was stunned and said:

"The soul stone on the howling necklace looks interesting, can you give it to me?"

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"Although I really want to promise you, but a friend of mine likes hunting very much, I have promised to give it to him as a trophy, so I am sorry."

Waden didn't seem to want to return the "soul stone", but the bloody aura on Fang Linyan and the three of them reminded him that these three humans were not good men and women, and even killed such beast spirits as Ghost Howl !

So Waden still returned the soul stone with regret, and then turned around and left directly. Fang Linyan looked at its figure, narrowed his eyes slightly, and wondered if this guy really wasn't fooled?

It wasn't until Waden was about to disappear into the night that Fang Linyan frowned and said:
"Honorable Elder, please wait a moment."

Waden turned and said:
"what's up?"

Fang Linyan said:

"It seems that you are very interested in this soul stone?"

Wadden said:
"Not really interesting, but it actually resonated with my pendant, so I wanted to look into it."

Fang Linyan said:

"We came here to find a lost friend. If you can help us find him, then this soul stone is yours."

Varden pondered for a while and said:
"I can tell you where the nearest water source is. I can also treat you foreign guests to a sumptuous dinner. I can even point you to where there are expensive metal mines. These are trivial matters."

"However, the spirit of the wind is reminding me that there are a lot of threads of fate involved in your friend! This is not something I can touch easily. I can have a hunch that the cost of intervening in this matter is far greater than this Soul Stone, so, sir, I'm very sorry."

Fang Linyan nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, that's it, bye."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Originally, Fang Linyan judged based on his years of rich shopping experience that this old thing would stop him at the last moment.

Unexpectedly. This time his deduction was wrong!From the beginning to the end, this old thing didn't look back, but it was Fang Linyan who turned back, but he didn't see anything, only saw a piece of darkness, and Waden walked faster than them!
***
After returning to the camp, I found that several large fires had been set up inside. The materials used for the fire were naturally combustible materials disassembled from the spaceship, leather rich in tar, and a little fuel.

The entire camp was well organized, and because there was a water source nearby, two simple bathrooms were even set up, and the members of the camp also had the opportunity to take a bath—of course, they had to line up first.

Fang Linyan and his team were warmly welcomed by Tarun on duty. After entering the tent, everyone was greeted with a cup of hot coffee. After all, Fang Linyan's repair of Goliath before could be said to have helped him a lot.

But when it comes to the current situation of the rescue team, Talun can only shake his head and sigh, because Youdao kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, and the whole rescue team is really at a disadvantage.

It has been more than [-] hours since I came to the planet, but let alone save people at this time, I haven't even touched a hair of the hill giant, which is really depressing.

Then Tarun sighed and delivered another shocking news:

"The latest information has also come from the Narachi camp, saying that Gretel, the president of the Maersk Line Group who hired us, is also Ryan's father, who suddenly became seriously ill and is currently being rescued."

"He was in very good health, but when this happened all of a sudden, others guessed that he was too worried about his son's safety."

After hearing what Talen said, the goat was stunned and said:
"If something happens to this guy, won't our reward for saving people this time be wasted?"

Tarun shook his head and said:

"The employment contract has been filed with the trade union, so the basic amount will definitely not be a problem, but the bonus that Gretel verbally promised is hard to say."

The vulture also inquired about relevant information with a solemn face, and then said:
"If Ryan is a stock, it will definitely hit the limit right now."

Fang Linyan said:

"How to say?"

Vulture said:
"I downloaded all the information of Maersk Line on the way here, and just found out that Mr. Great is not self-disciplined when it comes to women, so Mr. Ryan has quite a few brothers and sisters, seven of whom are legally recognized."

The goat heard the unfinished meaning in the vulture's words:

"That is to say, is there any other legally recognized?"

Vulture said:
"Yes, Mr. President, if the illegitimate children are included, the descendants will break through double digits. I think there must be many people who hope that Mr. Ryan will not go back."

The goat shook his head:
"This is really bad news."

Tarun nodded at this time and said:

"Yes, especially now that we have had a bad start and many people have died."

Fang Linyan said:

"How many people died?"

Talun hesitated for a moment. Considering that Fang Linyan and the others had also experienced hardships and life and death together at this time, Talun did not treat them as outsiders anymore, and directly stated all the detailed figures:

After such bumps and bumps, the team has already lost six people in air crashes and accidents, and also dragged eight wounded.

Talking here, Tarun sighed and said:

"We had a small meeting before, and I think Dejaco seems to have the intention to give up."

After hearing this, Fang Linyan frowned and said:

"How did this happen? How can I leave now? If I leave, wouldn't that mean that I have lost everything?"

Tarun nodded and said:

"Yes."

Then he signaled Fang Linyan and the others to come closer, turned on the projector next to him and said:
"Look for yourself. There were at least [-] or [-] people present at the meeting, and there was no such thing as secrecy. If you were present, you would definitely be invited."
