In the thick fog, the strangely-shaped creature lay on the ground, its three pairs of eyes under the mask shifting between Hayashi River and Mossy Bone from time to time, full of fear.
At this time, Hayashi River was cleaning up the traces on the ground. The "Hayashi River" who deceived the strangely-shaped creature just now was transformed from "materialized spiritual energy" and the [Scaled Arm]. It was impossible to say that it was not damaged at all under the fierce bombardment of the strangely-shaped creature.
The power of three of the strangely-shaped creature's six giant sabers was close to that of a six-star Heart Essence weapon.
Of course, the manufacturing of these three giant sabers was different from the manufacturing of machinery. In many aspects, they were inferior to six-star weapons.
In short, Hayashi River had to pick up all the fragments that had fallen from the [Scaled Arm]. First, he didn't want to leave any traces.
Another reason was how precious these materials were. They were all worth money!
Also, the mechanical bees' stingers were made with a bit of [Shadow Flowing Light Stone]. Any stinger was worth a lot.
"Sigh … That's why I said that fighting and killing is really a waste of manpower and money. Why bother … Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if we sat down and talked at the beginning …" Hayashi River sighed softly. He really felt a little heartache.
The strangely-shaped creature didn't say anything. He muttered to himself, "Are you the only one who's injured? I'm the one who's injured more. Such a serious injury, even if it's not fatal, will take a long time to recuperate.
Besides, his weapon is also damaged … The repair cost is even more shocking … "
On the other side, Mossy Bone stood with his sword, glanced at Hayashi River, and said, "If you don't beat this guy into submission, will he sit down and talk to you? In my opinion, such a cunning guy will be a disaster if he stays alive. If he really wants to deal with us in the future, I'm afraid his methods will be more insidious than today's … "
Glancing sideways at the strangely-shaped creature, Mossy Bone had an undisguised murderous aura. The purple sword in his hand buzzed, as if he could slash at any time and cut this guy into eight pieces.
Just now, his companions had been separated. With Mossy Bone's combat experience, he quickly realized that they had been in the invaders' trap from beginning to end.
This thick fog was filled with strangeness. Not only could it isolate one's senses, but it could also isolate the signals of mechanical instruments. This made Mossy Bone a little anxious.
The enemies he had encountered were naturally not as strong as this strange creature. A quasi-realm six elite and two realm five seventh-stage powerhouses posed no threat to him.
However, once these invaders were no match for him, they could hide in the thick fog, making it impossible for him to chase after them. This made Mossy Bone extremely annoyed.
Thinking of the sneak attacks and cunning methods of these invaders, how could Mossy Bone have a good impression of these strange creatures? His hand that was holding the sword trembled slightly. He really wanted to kill them with a single strike.
"Mr. Bone, don't say that. As the saying goes, 'a scourge lives for a thousand years' … I think this kind of guy can survive for a long time. What do you think?" Hayashi River retorted after cleaning up the battlefield.
"You …"
Mossy Bone was immediately at a loss for words. He felt that this kid was implying that he was too heroic in the past, but he couldn't find any evidence.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Mechanic is right …"
The strange creature echoed repeatedly, but suddenly felt that something was wrong and hurriedly stopped talking. If he agreed like this, wouldn't that be admitting that he was very sinister and cunning?
"No, no, I'm not usually like this. I'm just fulfilling my promise and using a method that saves time and effort. I believe Mr. Mechanic will agree with me."
The strange creature changed the topic and exonerated himself. The three pairs of eyes under the mask glanced at the purple sword in the mysterious Mr. Bone's hand from time to time.
The Redbud Sword?!
The Oddly Shaped Creature's knowledge was extensive, especially regarding the matters of the Dark Age. He was especially clear about them.
In the past, the strange creature not only recognized one of the three divine weapons of the Redbud Army that dominated the continent, but he also knew how terrifying this sword was.
In the hands of the peerless fairy powerhouse, this purple sword had a glorious battle record of killing seven Nightmare-level sea beasts in a row.
That fairy powerhouse was previously known as the commander of the Redbud Army's Shadow Corps, and it was also that battle that forged the reputation of the most powerful powerhouse in the Chaotic Age.
This purple sword had appeared today, in the hands of a mysterious middle-aged man. Furthermore, from his posture, this Mister Gu was clearly able to display the true power of the [Redbud Sword].
At this thought, the strange creature's body trembled. If he had known that the target of this attack was such a tough one, he definitely wouldn't have chosen this area to sweep.
"Sir, if I had known that the successor of the Redbud Sword was here, I definitely wouldn't have offended you!" The strange creature said repeatedly.
"Hmm … You recognize the Redbud Sword …"
Mossy Bone was a little surprised. Then, he remembered something and sneered, "Not long ago, during the disturbance at the Foka Tower, the image of me holding the purple sword should have leaked out. How could you not know? A guy like you doesn't mean what you say. Just kill him! "
"Don't … We really don't know …"
The strange creature shouted and explained, "Us brothers have always been active in the Black Sea and don't pay attention to the outside world. How would we know what happened at the Foka Tower? This time, we came for the Dark Age, for the promise between our race and that woman's ancestor … "
In order to survive, the strange creature hurriedly explained some of his origins and mentioned the ancient covenant of the Dark Age.
"Unlike the descendants of the Redbud Army, who are of noble birth, you have that sacred and ancient covenant, we monsters who live in the shadows naturally have our own covenant …"
The strange creature spoke with a hint of resentment in his tone. This was the difference in birth.
During that Dark Age, those ancient races, such as the Fairy Race, the Dragonman Race, and other races with ancient bloodlines, joined together and formed a sacred and ancient covenant.
That ancient covenant had an extremely powerful binding force, and it was also known to all living beings on the continent at that time.
It was a kind of publicity, and it was also to gather the armed forces of the continent to resist the Oceanic Beast Army.
From then on, the armies of the Eastern and Western Continents stopped fighting on their own and gradually began to cooperate with each other. This was all the credit of the ancient covenant.
It was also from then on that all living beings on the continent had a common understanding that the Fairy Race, the Dwarf Race, the Goblin Race, and the Dragonman Race were the noble races of the continent.
The Human Race only had one foot in the circle of those races after the appearance of the Gifted Creatures.
On the continent, there were also some races, such as the Odd-Shaped Creatures, that couldn't be exposed to the light. These races were powerful, but they weren't recognized by other races. They were considered monsters. These were the races that lived in the shadows.
The Specter Race of the past was also one of these races. However, because there were many geniuses in the race, they quickly became the main force of the army that resisted the Oceanic Beast Army, and that was why they were accepted.
Hearing this, Mossy Bone was a little surprised. "You mean … the [Shadow Covenant]?!"
"You really are a descendant of the Redbud Army …"
The strange creature muttered. He had purposely not said the full name of the covenant, but this Mister Bone had seen through him.
Mossy Bone did not say anything, but the murderous aura on his body gradually dissipated, and the terrifying sword energy on the [Redbud Sword] also retracted.
The strange creature heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that he had met a descendant of the Redbud Army. If he had met a descendant of another ancient race, he would not have been let off so easily.
After all, the commander of the Shadow Legion of the Redbud Army had some entanglements with the race in the shadows.
Since this Mister Bone who held the [Redbud Sword] was the successor of the sword, he should naturally know about these past events and would not kill him.
"In that case, we can still talk about this guy …" Hayashi River walked over and looked at Mossy Bone.
Mossy Bone did not say anything, as if he did not want to mention those ancient events.
Seeing this, Hayashi River asked the strange creature, "In that case, before we talk, shouldn't we tell each other how we address each other? This is Mister Bone. You know, how should I address you? "
How could they address each other like this …
The Strangely-Shaped Creature secretly ground its teeth. It was extremely fearful of this young Mechanic, but it was also a bit angry. This young Mechanic completely suppressed it from all aspects, making it feel a kind of grievance that it couldn't do anything even if it had the power.
"My name is Six Hands," the strange creature said.
"Six Hands …"
Hayashi River looked at this guy's six arms, and then thought about the other invaders. They seemed to have three arms, and occasionally there were four arms.
Could it be that the talent of this race was determined by the number of arms they had?
After pondering for a while, Hayashi River put this thought to the back of his mind. The mechanical arm switched to a round disk suspended in the air, and he sat on it.
"Your Excellency Six Hands, let's not talk nonsense. Tell us the specific purpose of your visit."
"Please answer carefully, and don't lie. Otherwise, I'm very likely to suddenly kill you …"
Hayashi River said softly.
For some reason, when this young mechanic said the words "suddenly kill", Six Hands trembled all over. He did not feel Hayashi River's killing intent, but he felt a real sense of danger.
To a certain extent, the pressure this young mechanic brought him was even greater than Mister Bone beside him.
"Isn't the descendant of the Redbud Army said to have declined? Why is there such a terrifying genius in this generation? One inherited the [Redbud Sword], and the other is a super strong fighter machine master. No, it doesn't seem to be as simple as a fighter machine master … "
Six Hands muttered in his heart, but he repeatedly promised that he would not lie.
This time, he would lead the brothers of his race to the Foka Plains. It was not as simple as the [Shadow Covenant], but because the ancestor of that woman had once saved Six Hands and his race.
There was an oath in the race that once the descendants of the ancestor called, their race would do their best to help, regardless of the reason.
When he received the call from that woman, it was five days ago. He rushed over from the Black Sea and traveled day and night. After arriving here, he accepted the task of sweeping this area.
"So, Your Excellency Six Hands doesn't know that Mister Bone is here?" Hayashi River said.
Six Hands nodded quickly, and even his huge body moved up and down, indicating that he was not lying.
"Who is that woman …?" Hayashi River asked again.
Hearing this, Six Hands hesitated for a while and did not speak. Instead, he looked at Mossy Bone.
Mossy Bone said, "The [Shadow Covenant] is stricter than our covenant. Revealing her name like this is tantamount to violating the covenant."
"Hmm …"
Hayashi River nodded and then knocked on the round plate he was sitting on. A light and shadow appeared and quickly condensed into the image of Lady Rain.
Seeing this image, the three pairs of eyes under Six Hands' mask flickered. He was shocked. Along the way, he had heard other reinforcements mention that the woman was doing very well in the Human Race. Her identity as a descendant of the Shadow Tribe was a top secret, and no one knew about it.
Why would this young mechanic know about it? Was he trying to entice him to admit that the image was of that woman?
However, Hayashi River raised his hand and pointed, and the image of Lady Rain immediately disappeared. As if nothing had happened, he smiled and said, "It seems that we can talk. Then, Your Excellency Six Hands, I just thought about it.
"Let's discuss how to carry out some mutually beneficial things without violating your race's [Shadow Covenant].
"After all, your mission this time can be considered accomplished, and your race's promise has been fulfilled.
"Take a look at these contents. Do you have any opinions …?"
Hayashi River raised his hand again and threw the light screen in front of Six Hands. On it was the contents that he had quickly listed.
"This …"
Under Six Hands' mask, the three pairs of eyes suddenly widened. Looking at the contents of the cooperation listed on the light screen, he did not know why, but he felt a chill all over his body.
Every single one of these terms of cooperation was extremely disadvantageous to that woman.
However, it did not violate the [Shadow Covenant] …
"I don't …"
As soon as Six Hands opened his mouth, he felt Hayashi River's indifferent gaze. His huge body trembled, and then he bared his teeth and said, "It is my honor to cooperate with the descendant of the Redbud Army!"
"Your Excellency is really reasonable. Don't worry, I have never been stingy to my collaborators." Hayashi River nodded and said.
