Monster Synthesis Master - Chapter 204
204 Re-visit to howling heights
Link remembered that in his previous life, this was part of the background story of the open beta.
the extremist forces had attacked the three major experimental bases and snatched some of the energy pillars.
It was for this reason that the players were not limited to the freedom Federation during the open beta, but almost the entire wasteland.
!!
Even though link had never met the Munn Kingdom’s commander, they were natural allies because of their relationship with Benjamin.
After this incident, the Munn Kingdom’s commander’s authority was reduced due to poor security.
Link knew that he couldn’t stop the mastermind’s invisible hands from pushing the open beta. However, there were less than five months before the open beta. He could use this opportunity to push Benjamin up and offset the weakening of the Munn family’s power and their withdrawal from the stage of the power struggle between the four commanders of the Shandu military.
“So, link, you’re saying that Yingluo …”
Li Zijun looked nervous. On the other hand, Benjamin, who was beside her, had a dumbfounded look on his face. He felt that Captain li and brother Lin seemed to be talking about something encrypted, and he could not understand a word.
what I mean is, if the military wants to set up a special operations unit for military dogs, Benjamin can be placed there. I can guarantee that this unit will become the most dazzling star in Shandu, and Benjamin will also receive enough attention. And these experiences are enough to make a wonderful stroke on his resume.”
Li Zijun’s eyes were burning. Link was right.
With Link’s ability to control beasts, the Special Forces would definitely be able to complete many tasks that the other departments could not. They would definitely shine and Benjamin’s resume in the military would be much better.
The Munn Kingdom’s commander would be outside and Benjamin would be inside.
Benjamin’s expression gradually changed, and his face revealed a look of excitement.
“brother lin, does this mean that we’ll be working together in the future?”
Link was stunned. He covered his face and sighed.
Alright, as expected of a naive and sweet girl. At this time, she was not concerned about her father’s status, but whether he could work with her. She was hopeless.
I’ll let the commander know about this. Thank you in advance. Li Zijun started the Jeep again and continued driving.
When the private cars on the road saw the camouflage on the body of the car and the symbol of the Fox hunting Special Forces, they all made way.
Military vehicles had unscrupulous rights in Shandu, not to mention the slums where gangs ran rampant. They fled like cats seeing mice.
Link and Li Zijun tacitly stopped talking about Benjamin’s joining the military.
Link had his own reasons for helping Benjamin. He wanted to use the Special Operations Battalion to tie him to commander Munn, one of the four great commanders.
being a hall leader of a gang in the slums of shadu and being in the military was definitely double protection for link.
Link finally understood.
In the slums, the identity of ‘the painter’s favorite’ was not very useful. On the contrary, it could easily lead to a fatal disaster.
Especially the things that this guy had hidden in the warehouse. They were like time bombs.
If word of this were to get out, it would not be an exaggeration to say that link would no longer have a place in the freedom Federation.
Therefore, before he decided to fight the enemy head-on, he would definitely protect this secret.
The military was the most powerful force in Shandu, so he had to show his strength and gain a firm foothold in the military.
This was no less than a death-free medallion.
Li Zijun also understood Link’s idea of ‘using’ Benjamin, but he preferred to call it a win-win situation.
“Brother Lin, you’ve all heard about it recently, right? There’s something strange about howling heights.” Benjamin said excitedly.
Li Zijun didn’t care about this. There were too many things to pay attention to every day, so she didn’t pay much attention to things in the city.
Link had heard all sorts of rumors in the black market.
No one would know that he was the instigator.
“En, I’ve heard a little about it.”
it turns out that this is the outpost and foothold for bounty hunters and killers to enter the desert for missions. But some time ago, the bounty hunters who were resting inside said that there was something invisible in the castle. At first, everyone thought that they were timid, but as more and more people went missing, there were rumors that the castle was haunted. What do you think, brother Lin?”
I don’t know if there are ghosts, ” link chuckled. but these people are really timid.
Li Zijun had the same attitude as link.
There must be some reason that could be explained. These bounty hunters were too weak to know.
The car drove out of Shandu very quickly.
as it was a military vehicle, no one stopped it for inspection when it left shandu.
The scenery outside the car quickly changed from a city to a wasteland.
The weeping Valley in the distance could be seen with the naked eye. There were also some small villages in the wilderness outside the sand City. They were attached to the sand City and came to the sand City from the villages every day, bringing things from the desert and the tribes to the sand city for sale.
With the help of the morning sun, people could be seen leading camel teams to transport supplies and goods to Shandu.
fu leaned on the window, her eyes shining as she looked at the scattered small villages.
His father’s greatest wish before his death was to bring his family and subordinates to Shandu to carry coffins.
In the eyes of these people, the journey from the tribe to Shandu was the path to wealth and also the path of pilgrimage.
Soon, the scattered tribes disappeared from the desert.
the only thing that caught people’s attention were the old bones of wild beasts that they passed by from time to time.
However, as they flashed more and more, they would also feel tired.
Benjamin, who was extremely excited before, could not stand the boring scenery along the way. He was already leaning back in his seat, drowsy with his head drooped.
Fu was full of energy. She kept looking at the scenery outside, feeling as if she had returned to an old place.
Lin Ke, on the other hand, was looking for today’s fun on The Platinum Hotel app.
He didn’t have time to read the newspaper in the morning, so he came to his phone to have some fun.
He skillfully found the bounty related to himself.
There were more and more comments under the bounty. Link quickly browsed through them and saw that there were many comments almost every day.
#I feel like I’m finished. Link is now the hall Master of the Qilin Hall. How do I kill him?#
[ i’ve worked so hard to save up all the omniscient coins. i’m going to lose a lot of money this time! ]
[ by the way #who’s that bastard who’s against it? I’m going to go to his house and kill him. ]
[ signed on day 12, please send someone to kill link! ]
I heard that link was picked up by the military this morning. Maybe this is an opportunity? ”
#Above, wake up. You even dared to offend the military just to kill link? little guy, if your life is 8, you can give it to someone else!#
……
The various replies below were all quite interesting.
link’s mood brightened up at the sight of the low-level bounty hunters and killers wailing in pain.
a third of the month had passed. they were anxious, anxious, anxious, anxious, anxious!
To these keyboard warriors who were criticizing the world on the internet, Lin Ke could only give them a heavy blow and let them know that there was still love in this world.
“What’s so funny? can you tell me so that I can have some fun too?” Li Zijun, who was driving silently, saw the smiling link through the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but strike up a conversation.
Link chuckled and told him everything. “Platinum Hotel has launched an APP that allows you to take orders, buy things, and place bets. When the White Crane Hall was still around, someone offered a reward for me to die within a month. Because everyone voted for me to die, I voted for myself to live and let this reward take effect. As a result, a group of low-level assassins and bounty hunters are worried about not being able to kill me. ”
“This bounty has become the source of my morning joy,” said link, waving his phone.
Li Zijun laughed after hearing this. A group of low-level killers and bounty hunters actually thought that link would not live for more than a month. In the end, they were intercepted by the real deal. He could already imagine how aggrieved they felt when they were unable to kill link personally.
so, the happiness of Hall Master Lin is so simple, unadorned, and boring.
The desert in front of him had disappeared and was replaced by a pile of rubble. In the background of the ruins was an ancient castle that had been through wind and frost for decades and was now completely abandoned.
“we’ve arrived at howling heights.”
The military jeep stopped steadily, and the drowsy Benjamin suddenly opened his eyes. His fatigue was swept away, and he opened the door and jumped out of the car in one go.
Link and Fu also got out of the car. They looked at the castle in the distance with mixed feelings.
After Li Zijun got out of the car, she bought a circle of equipment around the Jeep.
Detectors, mines, and other things were all buried in the ground. Then, they carried their military bags and walked in front.
As link approached, the silver ant queen sensed his arrival. The silver army ants in the castle immediately became active.
The four of them walked around the rubble and arrived at the front gate of howling heights Castle.
It didn’t look like it had been in disrepair for a long time. Many of the damaged earth walls had been completely filled up.
“This, isn’t this a ruin? why did the walls inside the castle show signs of being repaired? Could it be that there’s someone in the castle?” Benjamin was overjoyed.
Li Zijun stepped forward and carefully observed the traces that had been patched up later. After a while, she said, ” this doesn’t look like man-made restoration. It’s more like the result of some creature moving the construction.
Li Zijun looked up at the sky. At first, he thought it would be some kind of bird. However, other than eagles and falcons, it was rare to see other birds of prey in the desert, let alone birds that were good at nesting.
In that case, it could only be insects.
Link was shocked. He did not expect Li Zijun to be able to tell at a glance that the person repairing the castle was not a human, but a living creature.
But at the same time, link was also very impressed by the silver army ants ‘progress.
It had only been a month since he left howling heights, but the construction progress had far exceeded his expectations.
Apart from the main gate, all the gaps in sight were filled up by the silver army ants.
Li Zijun took the lead, while Benjamin followed behind. Link and Ah Fu followed behind.
It was close to noon, and the sun hanging high in the sky was gradually getting hotter.
However, the closer they got to the castle, the gloomier it felt.
Even during the day.
Link had only taken a few steps when he felt a few silver army ants crawling on his body.
These little fellows sensed their master’s arrival and sneaked out of the secret underground tunnel without anyone noticing, coming to their door personally.
The deeper he went into the castle, the more shocked he was at the silver army ants ‘progress.
He had thought that the Army ants had only repaired the outer walls and the front door, but he did not expect that they had also repaired the castle itself.
many of the walls of the dilapidated castle had collapsed due to the bombing, but now, one could clearly see the khaki ‘patches’.
Li Zijun’s face also revealed a grave expression.
He found something different.
it could be said that some creature was repairing the castle on its own, but the amount of work involved was so large that it would take months to repair it even if it worked day and night. But what kind of creature would be so bored to do such a thankless thing?
Coupled with what Benjamin had said about the ‘haunted’ dead people in howl Castle, Li Zijun was certain that there was something strange about this Castle.
Li Zijun turned around to look at link and found that he was also observing the repairs. She couldn’t help but say, ” “Did you also notice?”
Lin Ke understood Li Zijun’s meaning and simply nodded.
“I feel that these creatures don’t repair on their own accord. It’s very likely that they were instructed by someone. Someone wants to use this Castle as a cover.”
Link’s face did not show any change, but his heart was in turmoil.
As expected of a level 30+(leader) level NPC, just his sharp eyes were enough to make people tremble.
He had only been in the castle for a little more than ten minutes, but he had already figured out most of the truth.
“But I don’t think they have any bad intentions.” Link agreed.
Li Zijun nodded as well. we didn’t find any traps along the way. We didn’t even see any traces of people setting foot. I reckon that after the news spread, no one dared to set foot again.
” when i was driving up the mountain, i found a few simple tents and newly built mud walls at the foot of the mountain. i guess people who are passing by now will be resting there. ”
Benjamin’s face was full of excitement, he was here to explore anyway.
Now that he heard that the matter might be true, he was so excited that he took off. He hurriedly urged, ” then what are we waiting for? let’s start the adventure!
on the other hand, fu, who was at the side, took out things from his enhancement backpack and started to set up a tent in the shade.
there’s no rush. It’s not too late to explore after lunch.
Fu took out a barbecue grill, a chopping board, and all kinds of meat that had been marinated in advance from his backpack.
Benjamin’s eyes were wide open as he watched Fu take out so many things from his small backpack. He was completely stunned.
Although Li Zijun’s expression was normal, her eyes were still focused on Ah Fu.
Although he already knew that this little fatty was not ordinary, he was still extremely shocked when he saw such an unusual scene.
was this a backpack or a bottomless pit?
Why can you take out anything, but this backpack doesn’t have a bottom?
link, your servant is quite something, ” Li Zijun said meaningfully.
Link chuckled. He could tell that both of them were shocked by Fu’s strengthening bag.
“That’s right. How can anyone who escaped from the wasteland gang with me be ordinary?”
Speaking of the wasteland gang, Li Zijun’s butt moved closer to link and whispered, ” I heard that you and Fu both ran out of the wasteland gang’s Secret laboratory. Is that true? ”
