The Lagmar Mountains were like devil claws reaching into the sky under the dim night sky. The mountain peaks here were terrifying and twisted, and strange rocks could be seen everywhere. Especially on a moonless night, from the other side of the Absolute Shadow Highland, it looked as if demons were crawling out of the abyss and stretching their terrifying arms out of the ground. This was a mountain range that stretched across the end of the Absolute Shadow Highland. The mountain range was so wide that it would take days to walk out even on horseback.
Of course, no one would be willing to pass through the Lagmar Mountains, because on the other side of the mountain was the even more terrifying Poisoned Forest. There were old trees and poisonous ponds everywhere, and poisonous gas would seep through the gaps in the forest and under the ground. Some people said that this forest wasn't like this before, but it began to mutate a hundred years ago and then became a forbidden zone for life. The scholars of the empire generally believed that it was caused by the Shadow Duchy's alien transformation. Those alien races transformed the forest into a natural barrier to prevent human infiltration, and only experts above level 20 could pass through. Because in that forest, there were things even more terrifying than poisonous ponds and poisonous fog.
In short, no one would pass through the mountains of Lagmar, let alone wander into the Poisoned Forest. The Absolute Shadow Highland was already at the edge of the southern border of the empire, and ordinary caravans couldn't leave the highland. Therefore, the Lagmar Mountains had always been gloomy and quiet.
But tonight, someone obviously broke this tranquility.
On a crooked mountain path in the middle of the mountains, three figures were walking quickly. The first person was abnormally tall, and even the strongest human couldn't compare to him. When he swept through the gaps between the shadows of the mountains and appeared under the pale moonlight, a rhinoceros-like head pointed at his inhuman characteristics. This was a member of a different race. What was strange was that the silhouettes that were flying swiftly behind him belonged to humans.
If this scene was seen by the people of the empire, they would be very surprised. Fortunately, the mountains were uninhabited, and only the rocks served as loyal spectators.
The sprinting alien suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "Stop, there's movement." He reached out and easily lifted the two humans, then went into a nearby cave and moved a boulder to cover the cave entrance. In the darkness, his pair of golden eyes were like two golden crescent moons. He made a shushing gesture to the mutated people. A moment later, there was a strange sound.
Sha sha sha —
The sound of some kind of reptile rubbing against the ground rang out, and it was easy to associate it with a snake. At this time, the mutated human retracted his head and pulled the two humans deeper into the cave. When he looked at the entrance of the cave again, there was originally a gap between the boulder and the entrance, and the moonlight shone through. But now, there was something outside blocking the gap. In the dense shadows outside the cave entrance, two scarlet balls of light shone.
They were the eyes of some kind of creature, and they exuded a vicious and savage aura. The cave was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. A series of strange hissing sounds came from outside, as if that thing was sniffing something. Then, the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave began to shake. The thing outside seemed to be trying to push the boulder away and enter.
The mutated human hiding in the cave narrowed his eyes. He had already made plans to break out of the encirclement. At this time, a Mountain Rock Scorpion crawled past his feet. The outsider caught it and tossed it towards the entrance of the cave. The Rock Scorpion was startled when it landed and naturally burrowed out of the cave. The shadow in the gap suddenly disappeared, followed by the sound of chewing, and then a rustling sound.
The sound gradually faded away.
After a while, the mutated moved the boulder away and confirmed that there was no danger around. Only then did he call out to the two humans and ask, "Where is that fellow Belmore?"
"My lord should be waiting outside the mountains to pick us up. Lord Hubble, we have to hurry up." One of them said.
"Nonsense, I don\'t want to deal with those long worms. Damn it, there are actually Ghanaians in the Shadow Duchy. I thought these disgusting fellows would only be seen on Dark Star. "
This outsider was naturally Hubble. Before Allen and the others went north, Edward had arranged for him to infiltrate the Shadow Duchy. Everything went smoothly, and Hubble quickly gained a place in the Shadow Duchy\'s army with his tyrannical strength. This time, after receiving the deployment information of the outsider army, he left the Shadow Duchy and returned to the Bailey Empire. However, in the end, paper could not wrap fire. Hubble was not the kind of person who was good at concealing his whereabouts. His departure was quickly discovered and aroused the suspicion of the outsiders.
Although the fact that Hubble, an outsider, was actually a spy for humans was too challenging to the imagination of outsiders, many clues pointed to this fact. Therefore, the outsiders naturally sent out hunting troops, mainly Ghanaians. The Ghanaians, who should have only existed on dark stars, were good at advancing quickly in forests and mountains. They were also good at tracking. Thus, despite the support of the Dark Blade members, Hubble was still getting closer and closer to the pursuing troops.
The ones wandering outside the cave just now were the Ghanaian sentinels. Since the sentinels had already caught up to them, the main force would naturally not be too far away.
Time was of the essence.
Hubble and the others didn\'t dare to stay any longer and chose another mountain path to leave. Originally, there were seven Dark Blades who supported Hubble, but five of them had already died in the process of escaping from the mountains. Even Hubble himself had suffered some injuries that were neither light nor heavy. In order to stop Hubble, the Outsiders didn't just send an army, there were also a few experts among them. Among the outsiders, Lianfusen, who came from the Jana Clan, was undoubtedly one of the best.
It was a huge Ghanaian. He was like a moving hill. Because he liked to devour the corpses of his enemies, Lianfusen, who was known as the Predator, was definitely a terrifying outsider. He was also a general, and this time, he was in full command of the Jana army. During the pursuit, Lianfusen had once stopped Hubble, but unfortunately, due to his arrogance, Hubble managed to escape in the end.
Although Hubble was not afraid of him, the Catus had to admit that it would be quite difficult for them to escape in a short period of time after being entangled by that long worm. If they encountered the main force of the Ghanaians again, they probably wouldn\'t be able to leave the Lagma Mountain Range.
More than ten kilometers away from the cave where Hubble and the others were hiding, the moonlight slanted slightly and flowed over a rock. Suddenly, a woman\'s face appeared in the moonlight. However, this face was a little too big. If just a face was almost the length of a meter, then how tall would this giant be? However, at this moment, two scarlet eyeballs suddenly rolled up on both sides of her cheeks. As these two eyeballs appeared, the woman\'s face underwent a change. If one looked at it again, they would discover that it wasn\'t a woman\'s face, but a disguise made up of many spots.
Under that face was a huge and flat head, like a king cobra that had been enlarged countless times. The head raised in the moonlight and turned in the direction of Hubble and the others. A series of strange chapters sounded from his mouth. It was in the language of outsiders. If translated into human language, it would be like this: "Run, run, maggots. Fall headfirst into my net and become my food. "
Then, a strange sound rang out. Hiss, hiss, hiss.
