Chapter 164 New Mount
Chapter 164 New Mount
A monster with eyes bigger than a human is naturally far from being able to fight against by ordinary humans. Although this expedition team is well-trained and well-equipped, its real combat effectiveness is still at the lower level in this land.
Within a minute of Crystal Pioneer's appearance, they were defeated.
Natasha: "Hey, let's just watch it like this?"
"We talked about it just now! Since they want money and don't want their lives, why should I participate in this dirty thing..."
Dante said indifferently: "Even if you show kindness, you can at most help this group of people out of danger. If you help poachers fight endangered intelligent life, can you live with your conscience?"
"Oh, so these people are equivalent to poachers!"
"No...you just saw it?"
Natasha took it for granted: "Need I remind you? We know almost nothing about this land, and you've been keeping secrets."
Dante: "I didn't deliberately hide it, I just don't want to be regarded as a question-and-answer robot by curious babies."
Of course, there was another reason he didn't say.
That is, he doesn't know much... Few questions are asked, so it doesn't make him look like a good person.
Natasha: "Oh."
Black Widow's eyes flashed, but it wasn't discharge. With the dual experience of developer and user, Dante knew that this was the opening of the panel.
Before splitting up with Steve and the others, the main reason was to be more careful and let them cover themselves and Natasha.
For example, if you fight with Skarner at this time, with the assistance of the three of them, you will be more calm in the battle.
If it is an ordinary team, they will never dare to do this. It is extremely risky to explore dangerous areas and divide troops hastily.
After all, the residual magic power on the Shurima Continent has shut down all modern technology communication equipment. After separation, each team will inevitably become a lone army.
But the hero team still has a call panel... Now it seems that this thing is actually a small cheat.
In fact, when the two talked to each other just now, the unilateral slaughter had already ended.
The rest of the expedition team, after trying to resist and being crushed; fleeing for their lives and being hunted down; kneeling down to beg for mercy and being rejected in three combos, there were not even survivors left.
Tsk, they all died very miserably.
The last one who died was the leader who was running towards them before, holding the plundered crystal in his arms, shouting "deal", obviously repenting, and wanted to continue the deal just now.
Ignored by Dante.
After crushing the explorer, Skarner carefully picked up the three crystals with his forelegs, and then remained motionless like a sculpture.
Natasha: "The captain said that the risk of this route is unknown, but you might as well take a walk, and you are ready to set off to the south, and we will start when we meet up...Dante?"
She was surprised to find that the demon actually walked towards Skarner.
……
Crystal Herald is mourning the loss of his people.
Taking out the crystal in such a violent way will cause irreversible damage to the consciousness guarded by the shell people, and that life can no longer come back.
The helpless pain tormented Skarner's heart.
Over the years, similar things have happened countless times. Human beings regard them as some kind of precious mineral deposits, and continue to dig them.
Even though Skarner tried his best to protect those sleeping and relatively weak clansmen, he still couldn't stop the human footsteps.
This can't be blamed on him, after all, what he is facing is the ambition of human beings to explore nature...or more practically, it is the desire of human beings to face wealth.
Over time, Skarner's strategy has also been changing.
In the beginning, he just buried his people deeper to avoid humans.Then, he will scare those explorers away with his terrifying image.
After this trick failed, Skarner had to start attacking humans... Finally, in a violent conflict, it ended human life for the first time.
The consciousness that has survived from ancient times clearly knows how precious life is, and they maintain extremely high respect and goodwill for every intelligent creature.
But this kind of goodwill, along with Skarner smashing the human skull for the second time, was smashed into pieces together.
He started killing people.
After that, Skarner became the monster in the hearts of the expedition members!
And today, another very special thing happened, the crystal pioneer Skarner... began to take revenge.
Originally, he wouldn't swing the butcher knife at humans after the matter was over, because killing in a venting style couldn't save anything.
But the constant failures and the passing away of his clansmen made the anger in his heart more difficult to contain, and it continued to devour Skarner's reason.
Hatred corrupted his heart.
"Vengeance! Revenge!"
Before the monster that kills at sight was born, a swordsman in red appeared in Skarner's vision.
The stationary Skarner pincers clamped, and there was a crisp impact sound.
"Simply killing is useless, human greed is endless, and their development speed will be countless times faster than you can imagine."
Crystal Pioneer lowered his body and looked at Dante warily.
He can feel it.There is terrible power hidden in the opponent's body, and he is a rare and powerful enemy.
"Don't provoke me...the devil."
Dante spread his hands, activated a transformation, and said with a smile: "Since everyone is not human, why can't we chat?"
Skarner: "...what do you want to say?"
"I know that you want to save the shell people from the fate of being hunted, and you have put in a lot of efforts for this...but all of them have had little effect."
"..."
Dante: "Okay, this is bullshit, but I have to say, your approach is very...not smart. If I were you, guess what I would do?"
Skarner: "Turn...into a human form?"
These words made the devil scratch his face, feeling that although the shell man had been around for a long time, there was obviously something wrong with his brain.
He gave up being persuasive and decided to just say:
"The best way to prevent humans from hunting you on a large scale is to legislate. Although this cannot be eradicated, it can greatly reduce the scale, and then take targeted precautions to make this kind of thing less and less .”
In fact, Skarner didn't quite understand it, but it was on the verge of blackening, and the good instinct of the shell people temporarily awakened.
With a cautious hope, he asked: "What should I do?"
Dante: "Establish a civilization that is equal to human beings, and then limit them in all directions through economic, political and violent means... In words you can understand, it is to re-establish the rules."
"Oh. I know a little bit about this, but the civilization of the shell people... is already on the brink of extinction."
"Even if you are not on the verge of extinction, you are not qualified to discuss this matter with human civilization. From ancient times to the present, there has only been one empire in Shurima, which has the power to formulate rules."
Skarner searches his memories: "Shurima?"
"You're finally smart. I'm not afraid to tell you that our trip is to make Shurima rise again. How about it, are you interested?"
……
Natasha was numb when she stepped on Skarner's back.
"how did you do that?"
"I inspired him with sincerity... Besides, you don't really plan to walk the long sand, do you? It's more than 3000 kilometers, when will it take to go?"
After reuniting with Steve, Logan and Jhin who also looked dumbfounded, they rumbled towards the south.
Outside the world of Shurima, humans have also faced new challenges.
