Villain Awakening Plan [Quick Pass]

The interior of the Scarlet Beast's lair is far more intricate than the appearance shows.

The two of them and the scarlet beast shuttled between the passages extending in all directions, and from time to time they would encounter a few low-level scarlet beasts scattered on patrol.They bowed down to the high-level scarlet beast in awe, conveying a signal of submission, but they turned a blind eye to the two living creatures led by the high-ranking scarlet beast that smelled like food—this is the strict hierarchy within the scarlet beast group, and low-ranking people cannot covet The prey of the superior, otherwise you have to be careful that you also become the prey of the other party.

Yue Du followed the high-level scarlet beast not too far away, watching it ask various questions to the open space beside it, as if it cared about returning to the ethnic group.

But from the back, one can see that the slender scaled tail growing from the scarlet beast's tailbone rises high, with the tip of the tail pointing down, shaped like a beast's sharp claws, glowing with a faint cold light, it does not look poisonous but is exceptionally sharp, this thing can easily Penetrates a human lengthwise, from head to toe.

The tip of the tail is facing the open space, and the height is very subtle. According to the cognition of the high-ranking scarlet beast, it is the position above the heads of the two "ethnic groups" who came to defect.

As long as one of the questions and answers between it and the prey is wrong, the tail needle will fall without hesitation, and the prey will be flying with flesh and blood.

The high-level scarlet beast thought well, but the two of them were not there at all, and the illusion arranged by Ji You would not allow it to find any flaws, its tail needle was destined to be just a display.

This scene has an indescribable sense of humor, Yue Du said to the host beside him: "The appearance of this scarlet beast is very obvious, and it is exactly the same as the ones that Ji Ruying scribbled on."

She saw the scattered reward orders in Ji Ruying's room, and also remembered the graffiti on them that looked like children's stick figures. Not to mention, Miss Ji's features were quite accurate.

Ji You affirmed: "That's right. The idiot in front of me who is motionless and raising his tail should belong to the same branch as my scarlet beast father."

The characteristic of Scarlet Beast's appearance is that it has no characteristics, except for those red eyes.Therefore, as long as you see two scarlet beasts with similar appearances, there is no doubt that they must be related by blood, maybe they are siblings of the same mother.

Suddenly, the high-level scarlet beast walking in front stopped.Its temptations have achieved satisfactory results, and it finally believed that the two weak humanoid creatures around it were their ethnic group, so it put away its high-hanging tail.

"Wait here, when it's useful to you." It raised its claws and pointed to the hole in front of it, and said with disgust: "Since you don't need to pretend in front of humans, then show your eyes so that you won't be taken as ordinary by those who come looking for food. Humans swallowed it."

Show your eyes?

The more I read it, I was stunned, and I immediately realized that it should be the unique crimson eyes of the Scarlet Beast. It seems that the mixed race has a human appearance, but still inherits the most distinctive features of the Scarlet Beast.Also, they are capable of camouflage.

Ji You squinted slightly, and the illusion changed accordingly. "Seeing" the red eyes of the two ethnic groups removed their disguises, the high-ranking scarlet beast nodded, flicked its tail proudly, turned and left.

Yue Du turned his gaze to the place where they were going to stay temporarily, and unconsciously frowned.

This is a cave with a relatively open interior, but the entrance is narrow and cramped. Only one person can bend down to get through, and even larger scarlet beasts can't get in.

After entering the cave, I saw a group of bound human beings placed on both sides of the cave. One side was wearing a hunting uniform for easy movement. They were obviously captured hunters, and the other side were ordinary people.

They all closed their eyes, sitting or lying down, with happy smiles on their faces, which were a little unnatural, even a little creepy, as if they were intoxicated in a beautiful dream and did not want to wake up.

Most of these people are women and children, and it is chilling to think about what has caused this situation.

The Scarlet Beast guarding the cave was not high in level, but still had some intelligence. Seeing that the newcomer had red eyes, he raised his front paw and pointed to the side where the hunters were locked up, signaling them to stay there.

As they approached, the captives dressed as hunters still kept their eyes closed and smiling, but the children who were crawling in their arms for food, or sitting beside them opened their eyes in unison.

The crimson eyes stared straight at the person coming.

The children here are all of the Scarlet Beast race, without exception.

I don't know how to describe this feeling.

It's like seeing the nursery and food storage bin where the larvae are raised in the ant nest. They feed the larvae with the sweet juice secreted by the prey, and then divide and eat it after it has no use value.

And do the cubs know that these dumb creatures are their mothers?

The two found a seat on the edge of the cave and sat down. Ji You saw that the ground was cold and hard, and carefully spread out a blanket—unfortunately, it was made of scarlet animal fur.

Those half scarlet beast cubs looked at them curiously.For these little kids who can't even walk, Ji You doesn't bother to maintain the illusion, so just look at it if you like.

She asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you cold?"

Of course the more reading is not cold, after thinking about it, I understand the subtext of the host, so I smiled and nodded, and leaned into Ji You's arms.

Ji You's body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people, but he still seemed warm in the cold cave, and the two exchanged softly in this intimate posture.

"Ji Ruying said that scarlet beasts and humans reproduce offspring in order to allow mixed races to enter the stronghold and obtain more food, but is this really necessary?" Yue Du looked at those children, pondered for a while, and slowly Slowly said: "The Scarlet Beasts are not short of food. Let's not mention the captives they raise in their lairs, let's talk about their usual hunting. Even if there is only one high-level Scarlet Beast, it is difficult to defend small and medium-sized strongholds, and they can only leave some of them. People docked their tails to survive, just like what our stronghold experienced. And the large stronghold..."

Ji You took over the conversation: "Large strongholds generally do not rely on hidden locations to avoid scarlet beasts, but instead rely on barriers to fight back. The defense force is very strong. Even if spies sneak in, it will not have any impact, right?"

Yue Duan tapped the host's open palm: "That's right."

On the one hand, letting the mixed races act as spies has little effect, and it can even be said to be thankless; on the other hand, perhaps some low-level scarlet beasts lack food, but they may also be food for high-level scarlet beasts It's hard to believe that the high-level scarlet beasts will participate in such a plan for the sake of this group of low-level creatures.

Ji You said again: "Ji Ruying won the mantra, she won't lie, she really thinks so."

Yue Du said: "How can she be so sure, is it a personal guess? Or did she hear it from Scarlet Beast?"

Ji You rolled his eyes and shrugged: "Maybe the high-level Scarlet Beast saw that she was the only one not controlled by the illusion, and thought it was fun, so it made up nonsense to make fun of it."

Read more: "..."

It's not impossible.

No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that it is profitable for Scarlet Beast to create mixed races, otherwise it would not take a lot of trouble.

Ji You took the initiative to ask Ying: "I'll ask." Go and torture that poor relative who doesn't know what kind.

Yue Duo thought for a while: "Let's wait and see."

The situation of the enemy is unknown, Yuedu doesn't want to expose Ji You right now, what if this lair is the settlement of high-level scarlet beasts?The host has always been the strongest in the small world, but that doesn't mean she can handle a group of high-level scarlet beasts with ease.

In order to be on the safe side, let's wait and see what happens.

Ji You's heart that wants to display illusions has no place to rest, he wants to say that she will pay attention to propriety, and feels that it is not bad to have the experience of going on an adventure together with her sister (whether it is dangerous or not), so she hugs the soft girl in her arms with peace of mind. Sister, close your eyes and rest.

In the next few days, no other scarlet beasts came to investigate the situation, and the scarlet beasts guarding the entrance of the cave kept changing, but they were all lacking in intelligence, and they couldn't ask anything if they wanted to.

During this period, Ji You awakened one of the captured hunters.

This is a tall woman with a dark complexion and a star badge hanging on her chest, indicating that she is a star hunter - she is also the only woman here who is not accompanied by the scarlet beast tribe.

After a short period of confusion, the huntress recalled what happened to her, but she didn't lose her composure. Instead, she suppressed her anger and disgust and nodded to the two people in front of her: "You guys woke me up? Thank you."

Ji You: "No need to thank you, how much do you know about this place?"

The huntress simply said: "I don't know much, I can tell you all, but I want to ask first, did you come here by yourself, or were you captured by the Scarlet Beast? Is there anyone to help?"

Ji You raised his eyebrows: "Obviously the former, my sister and I are enough."

The huntress said calmly: "Then I advise you to leave immediately, before it's too late, there are far more high-level scarlet beasts here than you imagined."

Ji You: "That's right, I imagined there were more than a dozen heads."

Huntress: "...that's probably what you think more about."

The conversation stopped briefly, and the huntress shook her head in disbelief. She didn't understand what the two of them were thinking, that they came to such a dangerous place by themselves, and there was no one to answer them!

"I will tell you everything I know, but I hope you will leave after listening. Since you can sneak in, there must be a way to leave."

Ji You and Yuedu looked at each other, noncommittal, and the huntress assumed that they had acquiesced, and began to talk.

There are two hunter teams here, and the female hunter is the captain of one team. She was hunting nearby with her teammates, but was captured alive by a high-level scarlet beast and returned to the lair. After that, she never escaped the control of the illusion.

The huntress herself has relatively strong mental strength. Although she is not a real ability user, she can occasionally struggle to stay awake for a while.

This time was not enough for her to plan her escape, but it was enough to see what was happening around her. The scene was so tragic that no one could bear to watch it carefully, but she still tried her best to get information from it.She can be sure that there are at least five high-level scarlet beasts here.

Ji You: "Five heads..."

Ji You turned to look at Yuedu, took her hand and shook it.With this number, there is no need to worry about overturning the car, let her go to torture.

Yue Du gestured with his eyes: dismissed.

What people say is "at least", in reality there should be more, why not observe secretly first.

Seeing the two young men's eyebrow-eye lawsuits, the huntress thought they finally had some scruples and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, there are five heads, maybe there are more—you should run away before you are discovered, Go to a nearby stronghold and tell the people in power, they will take care of the next step."

The nearby stronghold is the northern stronghold.

Ji You immediately buried his face in Yue Duan's neck: "Sister, I don't."

Yue Du patted reassuringly, turned to the huntress, and said gently: "Thank you for your kindness, but since we are here, we have a way to protect ourselves, please don't worry."

Huntress: "But..." Worry more, okay?

Judging by their age, these two people are very young, not to mention that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If something happens, no one will really be able to spread the news.

She was worried, thinking about it, and didn't know how to persuade her, but the two people on the other side were still calm, and she even heard one of them asking: "Sister, are you hungry?"

The other replied: "It's time for dinner, let's eat something."

So they took food from nowhere, ignoring the blushing eyes of the mixed-race people around them, and started to eat like no one else was there.

The huntress looked down at the bag of dried meat in her arms. It was thrown by those two people, and it smelled delicious.

Yue Du smiled: "You should be very hungry, eat something to replenish your strength and calm down. There is still water here."

Ji You added: "But there are no extra blankets."

"..." The huntress said with a wooden face, "No, thank you."
