Between the yellow mountains, the carriages and horses were like grey cotton threads, twisting and turning as they were laid between the yellow rocky mountains. A few clusters of small green trees were scattered sparsely, like green ink that was accidentally splashed onto a yellow canvas.
The afternoon sun shone on the yellow mountains, at the edge of a tall rocky cliff.
Four young men in yellow hunting outfits were lying quietly under the shade of a fruit tree. They were nibbling on round red fruits in their hands, while looking down carefully.
There was a grey road below, in the crevice between two cliffs.
The four of them were lying on one side of the cliff, staring at the crevice in the middle.
There were three men and one woman in total, and they looked like a small team.
"Garon, get your butterfly to fly a little further east. See if there's anything? "A young man with a friendly face said softly. "We've been waiting here for so long, and we didn't find anything. Didn't they say that the robbers would most likely attack here? "
"I'll try." A handsome blonde youth leaned against a tree trunk, it was Garon from Iron Tank City. "My neon butterfly is too obvious in this kind of terrain, and its maximum range of control is no more than three kilometers."
"There's nothing we can do now other than wait." Goth was lying on the ground, gnawing on a fruit with one hand. There were already five or six fruit pits beside him.
"Be patient." Jessica replied quietly.
Crunch.
Goth gnawed on the red fruit, looking bored.
Time passed by, and soon half an hour had passed.
"There's something!" Garon suddenly stood up. "We've found the robbers!"
"Their exact location? I'll get the black panther to go over! "Andy stood up immediately.
Garen furrowed his brows.
"The robbers just left, I'm afraid we're too late."
"Don't worry about it, let's get there first."
The four of them stood up one after another, and quickly rushed in the direction Garon pointed out.
Following the earthy yellow and grayish-white stone slopes, the four of them quickly descended the mountain and ascended the slope of another small stone mountain.
Just as they went over the hill, the four of them were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Several white ox carts were overturned on the ground. The black ox that was pulling the carts was lying in a pool of blood, surrounded by a swarm of green-headed flies.
The area the size of a football field was littered with corpses. The stench of blood continued to rise, giving people a feeling of chest tightness.
The corpses stretched for thirty to forty meters, and there was not a single living person on the road from left to right.
The four members of the Black Panther Squad only stood there for a short while before Jessica couldn't help but cover her mouth and retch.
Andy took a deep breath and frowned as he scanned the scene before him. "This is too tragic … Let's see if there are any survivors."
Goth patted Jessica on the shoulder.
"Are you alright?" Although his face was also pale and he looked very uncomfortable, it was obvious that his endurance was much stronger than Jessica's.
"I'm fine."
Garon's expression didn't change, but he frowned slightly.
"I've seen worse places. Now is not the time to talk. Let's go and see if we can find any survivors. The robbers just left. If they come back, we'll be in trouble."
Goth snorted.
"It's better if they come back. This kind of scum should all be sentenced to death!"
"I'm afraid we don't have the ability …" Andy walked to the pile of corpses and began to examine them carefully.
The more he examined, the worse his expression became.
"There were at least three totem users involved! One of them was obviously a form two! "
"Form two …" Goth didn't say anything. "A form two totem user wouldn't be short of money! Why would he be a robber? "
No one answered him. This was the reason why everyone wanted to know.
Garon might have guessed it, but he didn't say anything.
The four of them began to look for survivors in the pile of corpses, and spread out from the middle to the sides to check.
After a while, a surprised voice came from Jessica's side.
"I found something!! Everyone come quickly! "
Garon turned his head and looked over. He saw Jessica pulling open a wooden board in the carriage, and carrying a white swaddling cloth out from a hole inside.
"This baby is still alive!" Jessica shouted excitedly.
The four of them quickly gathered around Jessica and formed a circle around her.
The baby was sleeping soundly in the swaddling cloth, and didn't wake up even after Jessica shook it a few times. It looked like it was sleeping soundly. But there were a lot of tear stains at the corner of its eyes, and it was obvious that it had been crying for a while.
Andy reached out and touched the baby's forehead and nostrils.
"Good, it's not sick, and its breathing is normal. I've already asked the black panther to send a message to the nearby pickets. Someone should be here soon to take care of this. "
Garon stood aside and watched the three of them surround the baby. He tried to find memories of this period of time from the images he saw. Unfortunately, the images didn't have everything. Only the most important parts were recorded, and such ordinary moments weren't recorded.
He raised his head, and looked at the blue neon butterfly circling in the sky. Suddenly, his expression changed.
"Be careful, someone is coming! It's robbers! "
"How many?" Andy asked calmly.
"Five people!" Garon's expression changed slightly. "Three of them have totems!"
"Retreat quickly!"
"It's too late! Hide quickly. They're so fast!! Lie down! Take care of your breathing! "Garon immediately threw himself into a stone groove at the side.
Andy and Jessica quickly crawled in, lowered their bodies, and carefully placed the baby beside them.
Only Goth reacted slowly, and didn't know what to do.
Garon pulled him hard, and pulled him down, and threw him into the stone groove.
"Ouch! You … "
"Shh …"
Garon quickly pointed at his mouth.
On the far right of the corpse scene, at the turn of the road, a group of black-robed figures quickly walked out.
The day was bright, but they were all wearing black robes without any impurities, and even their heads were completely covered.
There were five of them in the group, and one of them walked at the front, his black robe embroidered with white edges. The most eye-catching thing was the black python hanging on this person's shoulder.
The python looked like a thick black line, hanging on the right shoulder of the black-robed person. This snake seemed to be similar to an ordinary snake, but it had a third eye in the middle of its forehead. It was a green vertical pupil.
Three pale green eyes stared coldly at everything around it, and occasionally spat out its scarlet tongue.
"It's a three-eyed black python!! Damn it! It's a form two! " Andy scolded softly, "How could a form two totem user become a robber, which has no future!"
"Shh …" Garon felt someone pinch him.
Andy immediately shut up. His voice was very soft, but the other party seemed to have heard something, and looked over. There was some confusion in his eyes.
The four of them were shocked, and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look again.
Garon also felt his heart pounding.
Form two totem users or luminarists who had evolved their totems to the second form. He had personally seen a form two totem user in battle.
His teacher Emin had fought a form two totem user, and almost lost his life. He was still recuperating, and his body was slowly recovering. If it was in the previous world, this type of luminarists would definitely be stronger than a B grade. If they were angered, they would be like a human nuclear bomb, just not as big as a nuclear bomb.
Garon now knew that most of the luminarists were normal form one totem users. Those who were qualified to evolve to form two were people who had the support of different organizations.
With his fluorescent butterfly's silver light, not to mention a form two, even a form one luminarists or totem users wouldn't be able to break through their silver light.
This was the most troublesome part.
Garen was very clear that even though he had some experience in combining Secret Techniques and Totems, he still had some experience. It was okay against normal people, but against a luminarists, it paled in comparison. He estimated that a form one luminarists would take ten to twenty minutes to break through his defense, even if they just stood there and let him hit them.
In the field of luminarists, only those who had form two totems could be considered a true luminarist totem user. Because from form two onwards, totems would have a lot of different kinds of improvements. Many of them had special abilities.
However, the amount of resources and knowledge required for a form two totem was a shocking number.
Crouching in the groove, Garon also saw the pale faces of the three people beside him.
"The three-eyed black python is a form two totem of the black python, I've seen its ability." Andy said very softly, almost as if he was breathing. "Garon, don't come out. The three-eyed black python's third eye will release a green corrosive light. You don't have a core totem, you can't block it. "
Garon's heart skipped a beat. He nodded.
After crouching for a while, the four of them didn't dare to breathe. They could only listen to the approaching footsteps, not daring to lift their heads to peek.
The footsteps got closer and closer, then stopped at a certain location.
"Ga Duma, Angela Radinhut." A young woman's voice sounded, it was a completely incomprehensible language.
Garen frowned and looked at the rest of the people. Andy shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand. Goth's face was blank. Only Jessica.
Jessica glanced at the three of them, and began to translate into Kovitan language, matching the words with her mouth.
Iron Tank City was a vassal state of Kovitan in name, and the lords here were also related to the royal family of Kovitan, so they always spoke in Kovitan language with a slight local accent.
However, the words spoken by this black-robed woman sounded more like a dialect from the south, very tongue-twisting.
Jessica began to translate sentence by sentence for the three of them.
The young woman said, "Captain, just now my totem clearly sensed someone coming."
"How many are there in total?" This seemed to be the black-robed man's voice, low and controlled, giving people a sense of restraint.
"Four people." The woman replied.
"Dressed up?"
"Yellow clothes."
"Then it's not the Picket Team." The captain said in a low voice, "Let's go, those people should be passersby, but the Picket Team should be here soon."
"Yes."
The footsteps gradually faded away.
The four of them in the stone groove let out a sigh of relief.
"Eh? Someone has touched this place! " The woman's voice sounded again, "There's actually a secret compartment here, there should be something hidden inside!"
The footsteps stopped.
The four of them became nervous again.
"Looks like there might be survivors … Haha, interesting. Granya, search the surroundings, see if there are any survivors. "The captain's voice sounded.
"Yes." The woman's voice replied.
All of a sudden, the sharp cry of a crow rang out.
Caw!!
The cry was short and sharp, and stopped immediately.
"There are no survivors in the convoy." The woman's voice replied.
"Then forget it, let's go." The captain said calmly.
