Chapter 229 The Bandits' Principles
Chapter 229 The Bandits' Principles
"According to the last fluctuations of otherworldly energy, this is where King Black was seen."
"Logically speaking, it should be nearby. King Black is a simple-minded person and generally doesn't cause trouble."
Deep in the dense forest, Huilia brought Luo Yi to search for the otherworldly monster. King Gesra had already placed it in hiding around the island's waters. After Huilia's last attack, the guild would not attack the island again for a while.
Huilia also arranged for the giant ant queen to find a new place to live. Before the ant colony found one, Huilia and Zeta needed to find the other otherworldly monsters as soon as possible.
"Are you really sure King Black is in the forest? Why would King Black end up in a place like this?"
"King Black is an omnivorous monster, sir. The best way to eat without being noticed by the guild and other monsters is to find food in the forest."
"Based on my understanding of King Black, he doesn't usually make a move, but when he does, it's a big one."
Huilia knew that the guild was also searching for otherworldly monsters. If she wanted to find them before them, she had to hurry. Otherworldly monsters were too dangerous and full of unknowns for this world. The guild was too foolish and overconfident. It would be beneficial for both sides if she found all the otherworldly monsters in advance.
"Sir, why don't you ask the Mage Guild to help you find someone? Even if you don't like the people there, there are still people who can help you, right?"
"I don't want to contact them because I don't want to implicate innocent people. Ajiu and the others are kind people and shouldn't get involved in this mess with me. They can help more people if they stay in the guild."
"So I'm not innocent, then?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense! Hurry up and find it!" "Yes, sir."
Luo Yi complained, feeling wronged, and Huiliya wasn't sure if he was being sincere. Most of Luo Yi's previous actions were instigated by Grandi, with the aim of supporting Grandi's research.
To gather information on monsters from different regions so that Grandi can prepare a response and facilitate his subsequent plundering of magician guilds in various places;
Record the battle data with the Ultra Warriors and provide it to Grandi for reference so that he can plan ahead and minimize the interference caused by the Ultra Warriors;
Huilia read Grandi's plans left in the island ruins and realized that he had been plotting from the beginning, ultimately creating the monster Giganchimera, which should never have reappeared.
Now that Grandi has left, Huilia focuses his attention on Luo Yi. After careful reflection, he realizes from a different perspective that Luo Yi's execution ability is exceptionally strong.
Reviving the Tsuchikage, obtaining the Pure Crystal of Courage, transforming into the Light Stone Warrior, and even being able to control the Gigachimera—even Grandi didn't understand Luo Yi's true identity. However, Grandi had extremely high expectations for Luo Yi's potential.
Belial's memories of Twilight tell Celebia that he should treat Luo Yi with caution, as Luo Yi may hold a secret about this world. To unlock this secret, he must find a way to take Luo Yi to the ruins.
The howling was a signal that a monster was approaching. Both Luo Yi and Huili were about to shift their attention to it. Although Huili was not afraid of any creature in the world once she let loose, it would be a serious problem if the monster or she hurt Luo Yi.
Huilia didn't want to use Yongyi Chunjing's healing anymore. He wanted to sever his connection with the world as much as possible. Thinking about it carefully, it was somewhat ironic. Huilia felt that he was becoming more and more like Grandi.
A mammoth ape ran across the forest floor with its arms raised high, chasing away mountain rats with exaggerated movements. Then more mammoth apes appeared and began chasing and playing with the mountain rats.
"What kind of monsters are these? What are they doing?"
“They are mammoth apes, a giant beast that lives in the forest. They don’t have any special abilities, except that they are very good at climbing. But now they are not climbing trees, and I don’t know what they are trying to do.”
The mammoth apes chased after the mountain rat, watching it run frantically on the ground. Several mammoth apes, taking advantage of their size, would occasionally throw mud at the mountain rat, and then roar and laugh at the mountain rat's dirty and disheveled appearance.
Huilia and Luo Yi witnessed the scene before them without any restraint. Instead, they looked at the mischievous and foolish mammoth apes with mocking eyes, feeling that they were very childish.
One mammoth turned its head and noticed the two humans on the ground, and then the other mammoths followed suit, becoming very alert to the sudden appearance of humans.
"Forget about them, let's go. Finding King Black is the key."
"Okay, sir."
In the past, Haruki would have stopped to observe the monsters' behavior for a while, but now he is Felia, and he places his goals far above his interests.
Luo Yi continued walking forward with Huiliya, ignoring the monsters' abnormal behavior. Obeying his superior's orders was Luo Yi's primary goal, especially since he really liked his current superior.
"So, once you've gathered all the otherworldly monsters, what will you do to them, sir?"
"Max told me that he would arrange for someone to meet them and, depending on the situation, send these otherworldly monsters back to their original habitat. He said he would keep it a secret and wouldn't tell me who it was."
"Max, is the comrade talking about Ultraman Max? I heard Commander Grandy mention him before. They have some dealings, and Commander Grandy speaks very highly of Mr. Max."
Mammoths cannot understand human language, but the places humans are heading to are their territory. To enter the mammoths' territory, they must follow the rules set by the mammoth leader, which are given to each of them by the leader.
The commotion as the behemoth walked stirred up dust on the ground. Huilia drew her sword, created a force field to block it, and then released magical energy to blow it away, keeping herself clean. These guys really have no manners.
The mammoth apes suddenly surrounded the two of them. The reason was unclear, but it made Huilia a little unhappy. They dared to block my way. They really didn't know their own limitations.
The mammoth ape gestured with its fingers in the air, making some incoherent sounds, which Huilia couldn't understand at all.
"What does it say?"
"It asked us if we could communicate telepathically, and said that the area ahead was their territory and we couldn't just enter."
"How did you figure that out? Do you know the language of monsters?"
"Maybe being a monster for too long has made my mind a bit assimilated, hehe. But I still know telepathy, so there's no need to go through all that trouble."
After establishing telepathy, Luo Yi and the mammoth ape began to communicate. Luo Yi knew what the mammoth ape was thinking, and the mammoth ape also knew that the two of them were not members of the Magicians' Guild.
"The mammoth apes said that the area ahead was their territory, and if they wanted to go in, they had to give gifts to their leader. If they didn't give gifts, they would be kicked out and taught a lesson, just like that mountain rat."
The mountain mouse, having finally escaped its predicament, ran away as fast as it could. It didn't understand the language of the mammoth apes, so it was given a lesson. But the mountain mouse couldn't understand why it was being chased away from its own burrow. Were these monkeys crazy?
"Where did these monsters learn bandit rules? They even claim the mountain as their own, aren't they afraid of attracting giant predators?"
"Sir, actually the most predators in this forest are plant monsters. Giant predators like Komodo tigers don't like to get entangled with plant monsters because the carnivorous plants here are inedible and there are so many of them that it's not worth fighting them for territory."
"Then ask them what happened to their 'leader,' who's been learning all the bad habits of humans instead of learning good ones!"
"Hmm... The mammoth apes said their leader was a monster from out of town, with horns, sharp claws, and teeth on its body and head, shooting lasers from its mouth and having red eyes, just like..."
"King Black".
