A few days ago.
"Who is it?!" The sailor in charge of vigilance suddenly shouted, nervously clenching the spear in his hand.
A suspicious humanoid black figure emerged from the bushes, glanced at the sailor, and then fell to the ground and passed out.
The sailor was stunned, and cautiously came to the unconscious mysterious man, put a spear on his shoulder, and turned his face up, facing the sky.
Although his face was pitch black and he had terrifying burns, the sailor frowned and looked at it for a while, but still recognized the mysterious man's identity.
"It's yellow algae!!"
"Huang Zao is still alive."
"Captain Cyanogae, your brother is still alive, he is back."
The sailors shouted, alarming the exploration team members throughout the camp.
A group of people swarmed over, led by cyanobacteria with a strong body, with a strong physique of two adults combined, and a strong bronze aura.
Seeing the unconscious yellow algae, the cyanobacteria were incredulous at first, and then they were pleasantly surprised, quickly squatted down, lifted Huang Zao's head, and let him lie half-lying down.
"Brother, brother, wake up!" Cyanobacteria call loudly.
Although Huang Zao was unconscious, he was still murmuring: "Water ...... Water ......"
As soon as the cyanobacteria stretched out their hands, the other sailors immediately handed over the water bags.
After being moistened by water, the yellow algae finally slowly woke up.
The blurred vision gradually became clearer, and seeing the rough face of the cyanobacteria, Huang Zao almost shed tears: "Brother, I am Huang Zao, I am back, I have picked up my life!"
Huang Zao's voice was very hoarse and extremely weak.
He chased the large army alone, and it was not easy to live in this dangerous forest.
"Huang Zao, what is going on? We all thought you were dead. Captain Cyanobacteria wanted to go back to find you several times, but was stopped by everyone, and no one thought you could live. The cyanobacteria wiped your tears several times." An old man squeezed into the crowd.
He was all over his face, thin, and wearing a pair of cracked glasses. He had a large gray beard, and because he slept outdoors, he hadn't cleaned it for a long time, causing his white beard to turn black and gray, like a rag that had been used for a long time.
This old man is Cangxiu.
He is an old scholar who has served the nobility for many years.
The entire exploration team respected him very much, and because of his guidance, the exploration team got out of the desert.
"Thank the gods, thank fate, you are still alive, you are still alive. Oh my God, this is really a miracle!" Cyanobacteria shouted loudly.
"Tell your brother, what happened to you?" Cyanobacteria are also very curious.
Huang Zao snorted angrily: "I'm not dead at all. It's just that he was temporarily unconscious at that time......"
He briefly described the development and outcome of the matter.
Cyanozae was very emotional: "Huangzao, you really saved a life, it's really thrilling."
The people around him echoed one after another, saying words of amazement or congratulations.
The old scholar Cang Xu's face fell: "Trouble, everyone, it seems that we are in trouble."
"What's the trouble?" Someone asked.
"No matter how troublesome it is, I will never abandon my brother! We fought with the spider swarm!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Cyanozae's eyes, and his attitude was very resolute.
Huang Zao said: "There are no spiders following me, everyone can rest assured. As soon as they escape their hunting site, the spiders will crawl back into the canopy. I stayed with them for several days."
"Besides, the last fire, the spiders are probably burned to death."
Huang Zao's tone was proud. The danger passed, and his escape experience turned into a boastful capital.
The old scholar shook his head: "I'm not talking about spiders, I'm talking about those two people."
"Those two people must have died a long time ago, although it's a pity." Huang Zao said. He did not directly confess that he had fled in battle, but said that the eight-legged spider attacked the Needle and the others, and he was lucky to be let go, so he took the opportunity to escape.
"It may not be dead." The old scholar sighed.
Cyanoma muttered: "Low-level magic and fighting spirit are prohibited on this island, those two young people have such great ability to escape the angry eight-legged spider leader?"
The old scholar always frowned: "The strength of the black iron level is indeed banned on this island. But what about the silver level? What about the golden level? There is no such strong person among us, so we are not sure whether such strength is also banned!"
Huang Zao couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Mr. Cangxu, do you think those two are silver masters, or even gold powerhouses? This is impossible, the two of them are too young. Besides, I have never felt any silver or gold from them. But that girl seems to be a black iron magician."
The old scholar laughed and shook his head slightly: "Are there still few young strong people? The White Wolf General of Hantie City is only seventeen years old, and the great magician of the Golden Rose family, Shuisi, is only a sixteen-year-old girl. The recently risen killer snail was excavated from civilians by the Killer Alliance, and it is rumored that he is only eighteen years old."
"No, these people are all future big people, and they are too far away from us. Could it be that I met such a person casually?"
The bottom of the old scholar's voice: "The possibility is very high. According to your description, that girl is young and has black iron strength. She herself cannot be ignored, so what level of power is it that cultivated her?"
"That girl honored the boy as an adult, so what about the status and strength of this boy? You can think about it."
Everyone fell into deep thought, and the faces of the two brothers Huang Zao and Cyanozae obviously began to look unsightly.
After waiting for a while, the old scholar continued to speak: "I think that young man is not only of high status, but also very strong in his own right. Gold cultivation is unlikely, but it is likely to be a silver-level powerhouse."
"Mr. Cangxu, do you have any evidence?" Cyanobacteria asked, "Why do you think so?"
Cangxu smiled: "We can think about it from a different angle. Suppose you find a helper, and to rescue this person, you will face more than a dozen eight-legged spiders at the bronze level. And there are only two teammates, including you. If you are not a silver or gold-level person, how dare you provoke these spiders and take risks to save people?"
Cyanogae opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a while.
"So, these two people probably didn't die. I offended a silver master, maybe even a gold-level powerhouse?" Huang Zao muttered to himself, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little.
"I shouldn't have run away, I should have returned the dagger to them! I was wrong, I made a big mistake!!" Huang Zao grabbed Cyanosis' arm tightly and shouted repeatedly.
Under great psychological pressure, he finally chose to confess.
When everyone heard that he had escaped from the battlefield and took away the key dagger, their faces changed.
"Mr. Cangsu, what should I do?" The cyanobacteria also lost their attention, so they could only turn their eyes on the old scholar.
"Don't panic, everyone." Cang Xu raised his hand to stabilize everyone's emotions first, "Things are not out of control yet."
"Everything before was my guess. The two of them may have become food for spiders, or died in the fire. Isn't it?"
"But didn't you just say it, it's more likely that these two people have solved the trouble and are chasing us. We have left marks along the way." Cyanobacteria's face was extremely tangled.
Cang Xu nodded, staring at the cyanobacteria, his eyes deep: "So, we are going to turn around and go back now. We need to confirm whether the two of them are alive or dead."
"If they die, we might be able to pick up some excellent equipment."
"If they are alive, they are in some kind of predicament. We will help the two of them, repay them for saving Huang Zao's life, and atone for Huang Zao's escape."
"If they are chasing us, I strongly recommend that you do not resist unless absolutely necessary. Think about it carefully, can we match the strong man who can solve the eight-legged spider swarm?"
"Surrender! Surrender is a good option."
"Don't forget, we were all on the same boat, and we all fell here. They need us, big people need subordinates, at least they need enough manpower to control the ship."
Scholar Cangxu's words made everyone nod.
"Then, what should I do?" Huang Zao asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, there's me, brother." Although Cyanzae said this, his tone was obviously lacking in confidence.
Cang Xu looked at Huang Zao sincerely: "Tough confrontation will only lead to a dead end, even if you blindly escape, where can you escape? Escape into the forest and get eaten by a wild beast? According to my method, it is your greatest vitality. Remember, if those two big people are still alive, you must try to show the value of your survival. Don't be stingy with your belongings, although big people will definitely not look down on you, but you must also contribute, and you must fully express your remorse."
Huang Zao kept nodding, desperately keeping Cang Xu's words in his heart.
In this way, the group turned around and returned the same way.
At the location of the mountain spring, they encountered needle gold and purple stem.
They took the initiative to appear, and Huang Zao came out of the crowd and walked in front of the boys and girls.
"It's you! Hmph, we finally caught you, Huang Zao."
Zidi was unhappy, and the needle was silent, his gaze was not good.
Huang Zao's heart was trembling.
How he wished that Needle and Zidi would die like this. But now the two of them were standing in front of him properly.
Even if Huang Zao is a rough man and has a confused nature, the meaning contained in this has already been explained clearly and clearly by the old scholar Cang Xu.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Zao saw the "new weapon" equipped on the needle.
These war spears, scythes, and long swords were obviously assembled from spider forelimbs and wood!
"They destroyed the silver-level spider leader!"
"Why am I so unlucky that I met two big people?!"
Dang.
The scimitar in Huang Zao's hand was thrown on the rock.
Then, with a plop, Huang Zao knelt on the ground, hit his forehead the ground, and took the initiative to beg for mercy: "Two adults! I am Huang Zao, and I am the one who fled in battle. I was wrong, I committed an unforgivable sin! The villain will not resist, if you want to kill or kill, it is all up to the two adults to deal with!"
The boy and the girl looked at each other, both a little confused
What is the situation?
After they were surrounded, they thought that these people were going to do something bad for them. As a result, Huang Zao directly confessed his guilt and surrendered.
"The two lords, the old man's name is Cangxu, he is a scholar who has served the Shata family for thirty-eight years." The old scholar also came over at this time.
He was followed by a strong man, who was cyanobacteria.
The needle did not speak, but Zidi took half a step forward and took the initiative to speak: "I am Zidi, the chairman of the Contemporary Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. Now I am honored to introduce to you - the lord in front of you is a noble bloodline owner, and his bloodline can be traced back to the legendary Warcraft Golden Needle Bee Queen. He is the only heir to the Hundred Needles Family, a Templar, and a candidate for the Lord of Baisha City this time."
"Wisteria Chamber of Commerce?" As soon as Zi Di spoke, some of the crowd couldn't help but let out a low voice.
This famous chamber of commerce, these people have heard more or less about it.
"Templar?" When Zidi said this, it caused another cry of exclamation.
The cyanobacteria's body shook for a while, Huang Zao knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, and his ears began to buzz.
The old scholar of the "Hundred Needles Family...... has a shrinking pupil.
He knows far more about the nobility than cyanobacteria, yellow algae and others. Cangxu knew: The Hundred Needles family is not simple, although this family has suffered heavy losses because of its resistance to the empire, but after all, they are once great nobles in the south and have a deep heritage. The contemporary Hundred Needles Patriarch is a gold-level powerhouse, although he has suffered heavy losses, he still cannot be underestimated. And the boy in front of him is the only heir to such a family?
A respectful look appeared on Cangxu's face, he bent down and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Cangxu is fortunate to meet the two lords here."
The cyanobacteria knelt on the ground on their knees: "The cyanogae bowed to the two adults. My lord, Huang Zao is my younger brother. I am willing to sacrifice my life to beg the two lords to forgive his sins!"
"Brother!" Huang Zao raised his head, straightened his upper body, and looked at the cyanobacteria in shock, his forehead was already covered in blood.
Needle Jin was expressionless and silent, and the pressure on others was increasing.
"Two lords." The old scholar spoke again, "Please allow me, an outsider, to be honest about all the facts I saw."
"Tell me." The needle finally said the first sentence.
Cangxu let out a breath and continued: "Huang Zao let go of his unforgivable sins, and he tried his best to finally rush back to his brother. He was frightened and panicked, so weak that he fell into a coma."
"This reckless and cowardly young man did run away in the face of death. But when he settled down, he was tormented by the sins and guilt he bore."
"He fell into deep remorse and self-blame, did not hide it at all, told us the truth to all of us, and prayed for everyone's help to rush back to the spider forest to rescue the two adults."
"It is precisely because of this that we are fortunate to meet the two adults here."
"Please also ask the two lords, if Huang Zao has the heart to repent and atone for his sins, let him be punished lightly."
Yellow algae and cyanobacteria cast grateful glances at Cangxu.
Zidi glanced at the two brothers kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sneer: "This despicable and cowardly villain, deceiving Lord Needle and concealing the fact of the existence of the Silver Demon Beast is just for his own selfishness. Then he escaped from the battlefield, putting the noble bloodline in danger, and avenging the favor! This scholar, do you advise us to treat such people lightly?"
Cang Xu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "When I met the two lords for the first time, it was indeed too offensive for me to say these words. But in fact, the two of them are not soldiers of the empire, they are just sailors on the Pig's Kiss, and it is not enough to talk about escaping from battle, right?"
"Alas, these two brothers are actually poor people. They were fishermen and lost their parents very early, so the brothers could only rely on each other. If the adult wants to execute the younger brother, then I'm afraid the elder brother will not live alone."
"Lord Needle, you are a Templar, a Knight among knights. You are born noble and have a bright future, like a cloud. And these brothers are just ants in the soil. Lord Needle, you must be the future lord of Baisha City. At that time, your brilliance will surely shine over the entire city, and your kindness will surely nourish all the citizens. Why are you stingy with these two little ants?"
"If you forgive these two poor and pathetic little ants, I believe that the two of them will repent for the rest of their lives, and keep your compassion and kindness in mind, and they will do their best to repay your kindness, my lord!"
Zidi raised her eyebrows and took a deep look at the beard, but did not speak.
Cang Xu gently kicked the cyanobacteria kneeling on the ground with his foot.
Cyano was excited, and quickly said loudly: "My lord, please show mercy and give our brothers a chance to plead and repent and repay the great kindness of saving lives. Please be tolerant of a large number of you, reluctantly accept our two lowly servants, and from now on, let the lords drive you!"
Huang Zao didn't speak, just kept kowtowing.
The two brothers' desperate gestures moved others.
"My lord." Zidi looked at the needle, with a subordinate posture waiting for the latter to decide.
Everyone looked at the needle.
The old scholar Cangxu lowered his head and lowered his gaze to the ground.
Seeing the two brothers' bloody faces, Jeon Jin slowly spoke expressionlessly: "Saving lives and helping the wounded and supporting the weak is my Templar creed. Because of this, I will save you in the spider forest."
"Do not overestimate people, nor underestimate people. This sentence is the family motto of my Hundred Needles family. So, yellow algae and cyanobacteria, I am willing to give you two a chance, I hope you can use loyalty and practical actions to change my opinion of you."
"Thank you! Thank you, my lord!" Yellow algae and cyanobacteria are overjoyed.
The people around them breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at the yellow algae and cyanobacteria again, many people's eyes couldn't help but show envy.
Although these two brothers sold themselves into slavery and lost their freedom since then, relying on a big man like Needle Jin, they may soar in the future.
Cangxu leaned over again and said, "Lord Needle, your magnanimity is like the earth, and your kindness is comparable to the sun. Praise You, you will be our banner, and under your leadership, lowly people like us can move forward correctly."
Needle looked at the people around him, his body was as straight as a gun, and his plain voice was clearly conveyed to everyone's ears.
"The light of the temple envelops every inch of the land. The military flag of the empire protects every citizen of the empire. Follow me, and I will lead you out of here alive."
"Yes, my lord!" Everyone responded in unison, half-kneeling on the ground.
