Lin Sheng looked at the Golden Phoenix with interest. He had never seen such a beautiful mystical creature.
If he did not want to find out more about it, he would have captured the Golden Phoenix as a pet or a specimen for research.
After the Golden Phoenix landed, two slender and handsome men in green clothes flew down from the branches, carrying a cage made of vines that was suspended in the air.
They landed right in front of the trunk of the giant tree.
Soon, a tall woman in silver armor with a crescent moon symbol on her forehead and an exquisite longbow on her back appeared, guarding the cage tightly.
"The Silvermoon Hunters, the guards of the Jadeite Root, are here too." An old man on the right of Lin Sheng could not help but sigh. "What a big lineup."
The old man was dressed like a human noble, and beside him was a handsome young man. He seemed to have brought his nephew here to broaden his horizons.
Lin Sheng noticed them because they were one of the few who spoke the ancient Rehn language. It was also one of the languages he could understand.
"Why? Are these Silvermoon Hunters very powerful? "Lin Sheng asked curiously in a soft voice.
The old man looked at him and nodded solemnly.
"Very powerful. The Silvermoon Hunters are elites selected from the fairies' contractors who are proficient in jungle warfare. These elites form a team, coupled with the Fairy Empire's Jadeite Root's wealth and resources. You can imagine how terrifying they are. "
"One against a hundred?" Lin Sheng made a casual comparison.
"Against purebred human warriors, not as many as a hundred, but forty to fifty should be no problem." The old man shook his head.
"The Silver Moon Hunters have indestructible Moonlight Leather Armor, incomparably sharp Godly Shatterer Scimitar, and the most terrifying high-grade Moonlight Longbow that has a 100% accuracy rate. They probably won't even need ten minutes to kill fifty skilled human warriors."
"That's really powerful …" Lin Sheng exclaimed.
"If only my territory could have such powerful guards …" The young man beside him could not help but whisper in anticipation.
Lin Sheng looked at him and said nothing.
"According to the standard classification, these Silvermoon Hunters are at least Steel-level, and not far from Silver-level. What a terrifying power. "The old man could not help but sigh.
Lin Sheng smiled and said no more. Instead, he continued to look at the giant tree field.
After more than twenty Silvermoon Hunters appeared, they continued to guard the cage.
Then, black-masked men in white robes walked out from the shadows, circled the cage, and started chanting something.
At this moment, on the branches above the giant tree, figures of different identities and postures began to gradually appear.
The height of the branches of the giant tree seemed to reflect the status of the person who occupied it.
The higher the branch, the higher the status.
Lin Sheng saw that the golden phoenix had occupied the highest branch of the tree and was looking down from above.
Beside the phoenix, a beautiful figure in a white dress had appeared out of nowhere. Her entire body was enshrouded in mist.
Further down, there were old men dressed in luxurious and exquisite clothes, with an ancient and arrogant temperament.
Most of these old men brought their guards or nephews with them. Their gazes were all cast down from above, looking at the cage.
"Begin, let the trial begin."
The golden phoenix opened its mouth and spoke. It was inexplicably familiar Deviltongue.
Lin Sheng was also taken aback. He did not expect the golden phoenix to speak, and in such a pure Deviltongue.
"Yes, Your Highness." One of the Silvermoon Hunters below walked to the side of the cage and motioned for the masked men to make way.
The Silvermoon Hunter waved his hand and sprinkled a little green light, and the cage suddenly became clear.
Only then did everyone see clearly that there were two people imprisoned inside.
One was a young man with long blond hair and a quiet and noble temperament. The other was a beautiful fairy girl with long green hair and a sad expression.
"Klein, Poltina. You are suspected of betraying the Fairy Empire, betraying the Jadeite Root, and revealing the highest secrets of the Fairy Empire to outsiders. Under the decision of the highest Senate, we have decided to grant you an equal death. "
A masked man spoke in an old and steady voice.
"If I say that I am innocent, I don't think you will be willing to listen to my explanation, so that's it," the blond boy said with a calm expression.
"Execute, in front of His Majesty and the Elders of the Jadeite Root."
The masked man's voice suddenly became high-pitched, like a scream.
The Silvermoon Hunter nodded and took a special beheading knife handed to him by his companion behind him.
Lin Sheng noticed that there seemed to be a lot of inexplicable things wrapped around the blade of the knife.
It seemed to be soul power, but it did not seem to be pure soul power.
He had been waiting, waiting for the execution ceremony to gather the most people.
Unfortunately, waiting until now seemed to be the limit.
"How pitiful." The old man on the side sighed again. "That Klein, it seems likely that he was wronged."
"Grandfather, how do you know?" The boy on the side could not help but ask in a low voice.
"Because of his expression. I have been dealing with punishments all my life, and I know very well how people who lie behave." The old man shook his head.
"But this is the thirteenth execution, and there are still six more to kill Klein. Maybe they still have a chance to plead." The boy argued.
"Thirteen times? What does that mean? Does this Klein have to be killed many times before he dies? "Lin Sheng could not help but ask softly.
He had thought that he had coincidentally stumbled upon the scene of the execution, but now it seemed that it was not a coincidence.
"That's right." The old man nodded, confirming Lin Sheng's thoughts. "Klein and Vertina are both Awakened with the Fairy's undying talent. Their talent allows them to have nineteen Life Amulets to die in their place."
"Amazing! This talent is very powerful! "Lin Sheng was instantly moved.
"Yes, that's why they could become the Jadeite Root's guards, members of the Silvermoon Hunter. And they were once the trump card. "The old man nodded.
At this moment, the execution began.
The Silvermoon Hunter held the machete in his hand, and without hesitation, he cut into Klein and Vertina's chests.
Emerald flames suddenly ignited on their bodies, and they frantically tried to squeeze out the machete from their chests to heal their wounds.
But it was to no avail, the machete automatically released an invisible force to resist the emerald flames.
"Alright, it's over. Now it's time for the Fairy Contract." The old man watched as Klein and Vertina were slowly pushed down, and he let out a sigh of relief, revealing a look of anticipation.
Whether it was him or the others present, everyone actually came to watch the ceremony for this segment.
Otherwise, the journey was long, and it was easy to encounter all kinds of dangers. Who would be willing to take such a big risk just to watch the ceremony?
Rumble …
Suddenly, there was a sudden burst of thunder in the distance.
It seemed to be thunder, but there were no dark clouds in the sky at all. It also seemed to be a volcanic eruption, but the ground did not shake at all.
The sound was like pure thunder, drifting over from afar in an unending stream.
The Silvermoon Hunters present looked up in that direction.
The Golden Phoenix and the Fairy Empress, high on the trunk of the giant tree, also looked into the distance. For a moment, both of them did not know what was happening. They were a little surprised and uncertain.
"This is the location of the Jadeite Root. No matter what happens, with the Fairy Empire here to suppress this place, there will never be any turmoil!"
A leader of the Silvermoon Hunters stood up and said loudly.
