Chapter 1992 Barbarians
"This time, hunting the Beast King is the highest-level one among the tasks issued by the Realm King Palace!"
"In order to hunt this beast king, my city lord's mansion has all the elites. Not only did they transfer the earth-level general Huntian from the guards of the boundary wall, but they also invited three elders, the Venerable Bone, and the two couples of Bingyan Twin Evils!"
In the guest room of the city lord's mansion, Master Yuan, with money-eyed rat eyes, pinched his beard like a rat's tail, and introduced the action of hunting the Beast King to more than 20 casual cultivators present, and even more, he introduced the three world generals who were about to follow the young city lord to kill the Beast King.
Strictly speaking, there should be four, because the two evil spirits of the Ice Flame are the couple.
The couple picked up one of them alone, and they were all extremely powerful world generals. The two of them merged and even practiced powerful fusion skills. Ordinary fifth-level and sixth-level ink beasts are no problem at all, and they can only hide when they encounter them.
However, when he heard Master Yuan introduce these generals, everyone's attention was all on General Huntian.
Many monks exclaimed: "Has even General Huntian participated in this operation?"
"With him here, then this beast king will definitely die!"
"The young city lord is really a young man. He only needs General Huntian to complete this mission, but he insists on summoning so many people, just seeking the word "stability". At a young age, he has inherited the old city lord's talent and strategy!"
A group of people were talking, but Lin Hao was a little confused when he heard it. Fortunately, the tall man and Master Jin Guang who were with him knew that he was a newcomer who didn't know anything. The tall and thin Taoist priest immediately smiled, raised his glass and cried Lin Hao, and introduced: "Brother Lin, our mission of hunting the Beast King this time is simpler and easier than I originally expected!"
As soon as the tall and thin Taoist priest finished speaking, he had a depressed expression next to him, but after hearing the four words of General Huntian, the face of Master Jinguang, whose face was refreshed, immediately smiled and said, "Not bad, little brother, you know how loud the names of our brothers are now, but you don't know that in terms of the great reputation, General Huntian is just under the old city lord here!"
The tall and thin Taoist priest nodded: "General Huntian, a hundred years ago, had killed a seventh-level beast king alone, and was seriously injured. There were rumors in this border city that after the old city lord passed away, the one who inherited the position of the city lord in the future would probably not be this young city lord, but the general Huntian!"
"But the old city lord was able to invite General Huntian to protect the young city lord and hunt the beast king. This is something we didn't expect. It seems that the old city lord still has high hopes for the young city lord."
Master Jin Guang nodded lightly, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but smile: "Tsk tsk, I almost forgot. Brother Lin probably knows very little about the old city lord, right?"
"I would like to ask the master and the tall brother to explain more!"
Lin Hao smiled ashamed and bowed to ask.
"It's okay!"
The tall and thin Taoist priest waved his hand and placed two chopsticks on the table. His brows suddenly frowned, and said with a slightly heavy tone, "Brother Lin first came to the boundary wall to hunt ink beasts. Maybe he didn't know that the boundary wall here was actually just the second line of defense in the mainland!"
"In the place closest to the penalty area, there was a more majestic defensive front that kept all twelve penalty areas out. At that time, the so-called trial tasks of the people in the painting world after they became adults were actually all in the world army. As long as they could hunt a black beast, it would be considered as the service ended. Of course, this kind of service must be carried out once a year."
"It's just... ten thousand years ago, the first line suddenly broke, and countless ink beasts rushed into the first line pass. In that war, countless cultivators died. All forces in the entire continent tried their best to send cultivators to block the hole in the first line. In the end, of course, it was a failure. My human race in the painting world had to retreat to this second line of defense, which is the boundary wall where we are at this moment!"
"In addition to the first and second lines of defense, there are twelve gate cities behind, including Xuanling Pass. There is the third and last line of defense of the entire painting world continent. If one day, even the twelve gate cities of Xuanling Pass are broken, then there will probably be no place in this painting world where our human race can live."
The tall and thin Taoist priest raised his glass and took a sip, and his fingers slapped on one of the chopsticks: "This is the boundary wall where we are now. After this boundary wall, it is the edge of the restricted area. But there was no penalty area before. The edge of this restricted area is the area between the first line of defense and the second line of defense. There are many unjust souls who died in the mouth of the ink beast. It is said that until now, there are still people who vowed to rebuild the first line of defense that year, who lived in this edge area, but they have not heard about these people for a long time."
Master Jin Guang nodded and pointed his finger at the chopsticks: "No, but Brother Lin, don't think that there is really no one living in this marginal area. Oh, it's not right. It shouldn't be said to be a human, but a barbarian!"
"Barbarians?"
Lin Hao looked at Master Jin Guang, and at the same time he couldn't help but glance at the middle of a few small tables not far away from him, and was drinking with the bald strong man.
"Yes, in addition to the human race that remained in the forbidden zone and the second line of defense, there are also some products after the intercourse between the human race and the ink beast that had born with the spiritual intelligence. These hybrids are called barbarians. This kind of barbarian people have the advantages of both human race and ink beast. They are not afraid of the cold and have excellent qualifications in their cultivation... However, this kind of person is not without shortcomings, that is, they are not recognized by the way of heaven. Less than one of the ten barbarians can survive until adulthood. Most of the barbarians died in their womb before they were born."
"But those who survived have become more terrifying existences in the edge of the penalty area than the ink beast. So Brother Lin, if you unfortunately encounter a barbarian on the edge of the penalty area, you can really run as fast as you can. Don't think about fighting with them, you will definitely die!"
"So there is such a thing."
Lin Hao nodded and hurriedly thanked the Jin Guang Master. At the same time, he couldn't help asking, "Well, since this barbarian has excellent qualifications in cultivation, why don't our human race take these barbarians for their own use?
