Chapter 264 Leave no one behind

"The Snake Tribe is gathering forces again. We must find a way to stop them."

"How can we stop them? Those big tribes are all ruled by saints. Unless the legion leader leads the team, there is no way back."

"No, the spies inside the Holy City have not been cleared out yet. The Legion Commander must protect the Holy City Palace and the city walls. Don't move lightly."

Behind the walls of the Black Fortress, in a wooden house in the garrison camp on flat land.

The debate lasted for a long time, and no final result was reached after several days.

"Where is Lord Feng Chen?"

Someone asked, but soon only a depressed sigh was responded.

Outsiders leave in a hurry and can only stay for a short time. This is an unchanging law since ancient times.

Molly stood in the corner watching all this awkwardly. She could feel many eyes fixed on the small stone statue on her shoulder.

This is the only thing left by Lord Feng Chen, and it is very similar to the sixth-level colossus creature.

At first, everyone thought that this was the giant statue, but later they found out that its strength was limited and it was just ordinary.

The fantasy was shattered, and many people felt that Lord Feng Chen would not appear in the short term.

"We shouldn't have agreed to the deal in the first place."

Someone grumbled quietly, but it was quickly countered.

"If we don't agree, will that gentleman become our enemy?"

"And if Lord Feng Chen hadn't appeared at that time, how much more damage would we have suffered? Need I even say it?"

After the words were spoken, the previous complainer opened his mouth but did not argue any more.

Auron shook his head upon seeing this and looked at the woman sitting in the main seat.

Green vine armor and white cloak.

The face under the long brown curly hair is in his thirties, and there are several strange lines on his face that look like trees and flowers.

Lady Carrie has always been in the Holy City. Why would she suddenly replace Lady Yanle and come to guard the city wall?

Doubts arose, but quickly.

Whoosh! !

The small gray stone statue on Molly's shoulder suddenly shook its stone wings and flew away into the air.

Everyone was stunned, and Molly reacted immediately, lifting the tarpaulin and rushing out of the camp gate.

The empty brown mud ground seems to separate the inside from the outside and the tall black city wall.

Below, a figure can be seen appearing and walking slowly towards them.

Brown linen robe, black hair and pupils.

"Your Excellency Feng Chen!!"

Molly said in surprise. The elite soldiers and patrol teams who discovered the abnormality near the city wall were also stunned, and then turned into fanaticism and awe.

Whoosh! !

A palm-sized white-gray stone statue flew in front of him, came to Chen Feng's palm as if to please him, and rubbed his palm affectionately.

Chen Feng smiled and rubbed it for a moment, then walked towards the camp without stopping.

He had deliberately chosen to avoid this place when he left before.

Although the Holy City treated him as an outsider fairly well, he still didn't want to be easily discovered.

"Your Excellency Feng Chen!"

"It's Lord Feng Chen!!"

Voices rang out one after another, and many elite soldiers from the Holy City followed Molly out of the camp.

Two warriors appeared carrying a huge silver broadsword, and in front of them stood a fifth-level commander-level silver-armored strong man, the guard captain Orlon.

There were also people from the Thorn and Rock Legions who gathered at the door, looking at them with surprise and unexpected looks.

"Your Excellency Feng Chen."

Molly hurried forward and greeted her respectfully. The little stone statue seemed to have a good impression of it and flew onto her shoulder again.

"It seems like you're doing okay with it."

Chen Feng lowered his head and said, he knew that the little stone statue also had its own thoughts.

Apart from itself, it will be closer to whoever is good to it.

"This is Lord Feng Chen's companion. Molly dare not neglect him."

Molly said sheepishly, her brown eyes still bright.

Chen Feng nodded, then looked at the people outside the tents in the camp.

Aulon and the others greeted him respectfully one after another, and finally a female figure lifted the curtain and stood in the middle of the camp outside the house.

He was tall and slender, wearing green vine armor and a white cloak.

The tree pattern on his face was particularly eye-catching. When Chen Feng looked into his eyes, he could feel the powerful aura that was no less than that of the commander of the Earth Rock Legion.

This is a sixth-level saint.

"Kari, leader of the Thorn Legion."

The woman in green vine armor introduced herself in a calm tone.

Chen Feng glanced at the pattern of lines on the other person's face.

Most humans in this world do not have tattoos or totems, unless they are half-snake people who have been imbued with the power of snake spirits.

"Feng Chen."

They looked at each other and nodded. Chen Feng did not sense any aura related to the snake spirit from the other party.

"Your companion didn't come?"

Carly went straight to the point and glanced at the empty back of Chen Feng.

Others had similar expressions, expectant and nervous.

Without answering, Chen Feng just looked up at the sky.

He knew that the Holy Shield Colossus was the prerequisite for an equal transaction between the two parties.

Wow!
Suddenly, the sound of wind was heard.

Carly was startled for a moment, and then she saw a huge shadow appear on the ground.

Looking up again, I saw a white-gray giant statue with golden patterns flying across the sky and circling among the clouds.

Everyone stared at the sight, with mixed feelings of envy and admiration.

Hearing the relevant discussions, Chen Feng retracted his gaze and looked at the leader of the Thorn Legion named Carrie in front of him.

"It looks like you guys are in a bit of trouble."

"It just so happens that I want to go to the territory of the snake tribe. I wonder if this can be considered a move?"

Chen Feng asked, and the other party's eyes flashed.

The other fifth-level Holy City commanders had different expressions, but most of them were somewhat excited and looked at Carrie together.

Molly was also somewhat expectant, and the small stone statue on her shoulder tilted its head and walked away.

"it is good."

Carrie agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, the group quickly invited Chen Feng into the huge tent in the camp and began to discuss the details.

After a conversation, Chen Feng learned about the new situation in the Holy City.

Although the Black Blade Tribe and the Fire Rong Tribe have temporarily withdrawn their troops, according to the secret scouts sent out, these two tribes have not given up yet.

In addition, the Snake Temple also issued a war order, preparing to once again order all large, medium and small tribes to send warriors to respond to the call.

The same is true for the Silver Wood Tribe, which is also one of the eight major tribes in the Snake Spirit Continent.

"What do you need me to do?" Chen Feng asked.

He was going to plunder the Snake Spirit Fruit and didn't mind helping out with some things and fulfilling his trade promise with the Holy City.

"Do what you can to undermine the confidence of the Serpent Tribe and prevent their alliance."

Inside the camp tent, Auron said in a deep voice, his eyes full of anticipation.

Everyone looked over there and Carrie, who was sitting in the center seat, nodded slightly. The tree pattern on her face looked quite mysterious.

“I know this is a difficult request to fulfill.”

"But this is a matter of life and death for the Holy City. Your Excellency only needs to delay the formation of their alliance as much as possible."

She saw things more clearly than Oron, knowing that even a sixth-rank saint would find it difficult to stop such a trend.

Chen Feng nodded. Procrastination sounded more realistic.

Immediately, after some discussion, the Holy City planned to send people to cooperate with him, choosing to defeat some snake tribes one by one, or to kill them halfway, so as to weaken the confidence and strength of their alliance as much as possible.

They were followed by a team of elite warriors led by Aulon, all of whom were strong men drawn from the three legions.

There are a total of twenty-four third-level warriors, six fourth-level warriors, and a commander of the Thorn Legion who has just entered the fifth level and is particularly good at healing people.

"it is good."

Nodding, Chen Feng did not refuse.

Although it is more convenient to act alone, it is better to use the free subordinates.

Moreover, he knew that Shengcheng was actually worried that he was just agreeing verbally.

"My Lord, I also want to contribute."

Molly suddenly spoke, surprising everyone.

After all, everyone knew that this trip was quite dangerous, but the other party was so proactive.

"grown ups."

Molly pleaded, Carrie hesitated for a moment and looked at Chen Feng.

"can."

Chen Feng answered calmly, feeling that it didn't matter if there was one more or one less person.

"Then please, Your Excellency."

Carrie instructed, and then gave each person a brown seed the size of a fingernail.

"I hope I can be of some help to you."

hum!
A hazy green light bloomed, and brown seeds fell into everyone's palm.

With his perception, Chen Feng could sense that there was a strong vitality contained in it, which was very similar to the feeling given to him by the advanced life potion, but also a little different.

There was no strong feeling of swallowing, and he guessed that this should be something that was born by consuming some kind of power and had no real main material.

"Let's go."

Without further delay, Chen Feng walked out of the camp tent.

Huge black-brown eagles were crawling on the ground, their auras were also at the third or fourth level. The Holy City obviously had some method of keeping exotic creatures in captivity, as Auron and others could be seen climbing onto the backs of the crawling eagles one after another.

Wow!
Just at this moment, the wind howled violently.

On the flat brown dirt ground, a shadow rapidly grew larger.

Everyone looked up and saw a white-grey giant swooping down. The black-haired young man flashed and was already standing on the other's shoulder.

Immediately, everyone looked around and looked at each other.

Firm, committed, and resolute.

All the elite troops stationed in the camp saw them off solemnly, some waving and some hesitantly.

After waiting for the end, the white-gray stone statue took the lead, followed by many giant flying eagles.

The soldiers on the black wall raised their heads and opened their mouths with hope in their eyes. There were also eyes in the Holy City watching them, gazing into the distance, until the figures gradually disappeared.

"I hope you can come back safely."

Wow!

The wind blew hard, and a green swamp appeared at the end of the brown ground.

It was a vast expanse of green that seemed to have no end in sight. Chen Feng could sense someone watching him with malicious intent from below.

"I come!"

Someone spoke, it was a fourth-level strongman from the Falcon Legion.

He was wearing silver armor and had a strong physique.

As the bow was drawn, several arrows flew into the air, and then split in mid-air, turning into dozens of streams of light.

Whoosh! !

There was a rapid sound of breaking through the air, followed by a "plop" sound of something entering the flesh.

They were killed in one blow, and the snake people hiding in them were pierced through the vitals and fell to the ground one after another.

"I'm coming too!"

Some people also sensed the weirdness of the Green Swamp and knew that there were many snake sentinels hiding there.

Arrows flew through the air, but Chen Feng did not take action. He just looked at everyone curiously.

The awakening method of the Holy City can be considered an alternative path to martial arts, and it does have its own unique features.

Combining with visualization elements, you can gain some unique abilities.

For example, most of the people in the Falcon Legion are visualizing the wind attribute.

His perception is quite sharp, and he seems to be able to detect abnormalities nearby through the breeze.

There are also significant bonuses in archery and other aspects.

"Don't waste your energy. The snake people are cunning. There must be snakes and pythons hiding here."

“We just have to keep moving forward.”

Auron suddenly spoke up to remind everyone, hoping that they would save their energy and take action later.

Chen Feng also agreed, because this would be too time-consuming.

"Let's go directly to the Huige tribe."

He said, having already looked at the map prepared by Molly and the others.

There are many snake tribes. In addition to the eight major tribes, there are also many small and medium-sized tribes.

Most medium-sized tribes can only produce strong people at the fourth level, and some powerful ones are at the fifth level.

In addition, only tribes at this level are qualified to plant snake spirit trees.

The Huige tribe they were going to was one of them.

Hundreds of kilometers away, it is a vassal of the Black Blade Tribe.

"Yes!"

Auron nodded and gave the order.

The flying eagle beast turned slightly in mid-air, and everyone immediately headed straight for the northeast.

Witnessing this scene, the snake people hiding in the Green Swamp stopped their actions, and soon used their own methods to send messages and leave.

The lurking shadows disappeared, Chen Feng put away his perception and looked towards Oron.

Everyone nodded, and after rushing out of the Green Swamp, they quickly turned and headed northwest.

The wind was blowing hard all the way, and Chen Feng was wearing the thinnest linen robe, which was completely different from the armor attire of others.

Everyone was surprisingly silent and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The terrain below changed quietly as a result, with hills, wastelands, and sporadic rivers visible from time to time.

Snapped! !

In a green grassland.

The whip was swung, and the brown-haired woman in tattered linen clothes, with her hair disheveled, slumped to the ground, gritting her teeth and not daring to say a word.

Pale face and chapped lips.

Looking at his back, the skin was ulcerated and blood and flesh scars were visible.

Blood kept dripping, and large purple and red bruises appeared around.

"You are a bunch of inferior people without the blessing of the snake spirit. Tomorrow I want to see chopped firewood and well-fed cattle and sheep."

"And the adults' house, if it's not built within seven days, this will be the best outcome for you!"

Snapped!
Amid the cursing, the whip continued to hit.

A half-snake man who looked like a human man but had some snake scales on his body kept shouting and cursing.

The whip with small thorns would penetrate the skin and flesh every time it was swung, causing piercing pain.

The beaten woman was shaking all over and could only hold the child in her arms numbly, not daring to make a sound.

Re-opening.

This is a yard surrounded by a fence with several wooden houses standing in it. Most of them are still under construction and have no roofs, doors or windows.

Chopped firewood was piled nearby, and there were penned cattle and sheep in a shed not far away, grazing on fresh, tender green grass, looking at this place.

His pupils reflected more people in tattered linen clothes kneeling around him, both men and women. They could only kneel numbly in two rows, listening to the sound of the whip, not daring to resist.

The inferior ones.

Ordinary people who are born without the blessing of snake spirits and are destined to be unable to obtain the power of snake spirits.

All his life he could only be a slave of the snake tribe, chopping wood and feeding cattle and sheep.
This kind of life... Some young men grit their teeth and refuse to give in, but they can only keep their heads down and hide their hateful eyes.

As if sensing something, the whip stopped swinging.

The half-snake man with several snake scales cast a glance at him and frowned slightly.

The boy's heart trembled, and he clearly saw the shadow on the ground in front of him spreading and getting closer and closer.

Cold sweat rolled down my face, it was the critical moment.

"Ago, come out for a moment."

"Oh?"

The half-snake man holding the whip was startled for a moment, then he saw a middle-aged man at the gate of the fenced courtyard.

The other person had more snake scales on his body than him, and a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face. He nodded quickly and walked out.

The atmosphere relaxed and the boy dared to look up.

"Captain Rongli, please go there in person."

"Ah."

"I have some fine wines in my collection. You must help me taste them."

The half-snake man named Ago walked away, and flattering voices continued to be heard.

The woman who had been whipped was trembling, her clothes were stained with blood, and her back was covered with festering wounds.

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down her body, and the child in her arms looked up with tears in his eyes and trembling mouth.

The woman's face turned pale and she kept shaking her head to tell him not to make any sound.

One could see with the naked eye that her breath was getting weaker and weaker, and her body was swaying and staggering as if she was about to fall.

Everyone saw it, but they could only kneel where they were, not daring to move an inch.

Time passes by, minute by minute.

The young man clenched his fists with reluctance, and saw clearly that the woman fell to the ground, her breathing becoming weaker and weaker.

“Mother!! Mother!!”

The protected child cried and shouted, and the boy gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but was soon held tightly by his companion beside him, whose face was covered in dust, and he shook his head at him anxiously.

Looking at each other angrily, he insisted on getting up.

but.

despair!
"You want to save her?"

A sarcastic voice suddenly sounded, and a shadow covered the sight.

The ragged boy turned around with his eyes wide open, and saw that the half-snake man who had left had walked into the yard and came to his side.

His face was red and his mouth reeked of alcohol.

But those squinting eyes looked like snake pupils, revealing piercing coldness and cruelty.

"It seems that you low-class people are really dishonest."

"Since you want to save her, let's do it together."

With a cold and cruel voice, the whip was swung and swung down suddenly.

The cruel gaze was like the cold ice of the underworld. The young man's face was filled with despair, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

call out! ! !
The next moment, the sound of breaking air rang in my ears.

The expected pain did not appear. An arrow came with the wind, which was faster than the whip.

Boom! !

The half-snake man fell to the ground with a thud, the arrow in his back piercing through everything and emerging from his left chest.

Blood continued to ooze out, and the young man looked at the fallen body in disbelief. The others were also puzzled, and then looked up.

Dozens of huge flying eagles with black and brown feathers hovered in the sky, with their backs to the sky, as if they were shoulder to shoulder with the clouds.

Some of the silver-armored warriors were still drawing their bows and arrows, and their appearance was exactly the same as theirs, without any trace or scent of snake spirits.

Surrounded by the flying eagles and strange beasts, in the center was a completely different white-gray stone-winged giant. The young man in linen clothes on his shoulders was dressed similarly to them.

As if he had glanced at them, the other party looked at the entire snake tribe with an increasingly indifferent look.

"Leave no one behind."
