Chapter 256 Heading to Devil Mountain

It's time to go.

There is no joint master, and there is no oath, not even a scene.Fei Lun just leaned on the passenger seat, looked up at the system time in front of him, and then gestured.

"let's go."

Following Fei Lun's order, a convoy drove out of Futaba Town and headed for the depths of the wilderness.

Because there was no Ai Luka, Fei Lun simply asked Maria to drive, and then let go of himself and did nothing... Just like him before in the ninth district.At this moment, Maria was nagging him about the destination, but Fei Lun was not interested in the information. On the contrary, he was carefully looking at the convoy in front of him with interested eyes. .

The biggest characteristic of the convoys on the wasteland is that they are stupid, black and thick, and the most used by various forces are trucks and off-road vehicles.The former can not only transport personnel and materials, but also be used as a wall to resist attacks when attacked.The off-road vehicle can be directly equipped with a machine gun to transform it into a chariot, so it is the most suitable means of transportation on the wasteland.

But this is not the case for the people here. Most of them don't drive off-road vehicles, but motorcycles—even trailer motorcycles.

Only a small number of people, such as Fei Lun, drove off-road vehicles on the wasteland, and they couldn't see any of those large trucks.Among other things, at least in terms of mobility, this team is absolutely top-notch.

However, it cannot be said that these people made the wrong choice. Just look at the familiars lying on the master's shoulders, sitting next to the master, or wrapping around the master's back. You can understand why the people in Shuangye Town are more inclined to It’s time to take advantage of this convenient means of transportation.

"Is there any news over there?"

Fei Lun withdrew his gaze, while stroking the black cat sleeping in his arms, while looking at Maria beside him.He didn't want to deal with those bastards, so he simply pushed the matter to Maria.Although Maria was very helpless, after all, she had been doing this all along, so there was no big problem.

"Tianliang Town has sent the itinerary just now. What we need to go to is Devil Mountain. According to the plan, we will go up the mountain from the south, and then round up with several other teams in the middle of the mountain to report our findings. Then we will build a base here. Continue to explore the surrounding area... I have sent you the specific information."

"Why do I feel that this is not a secondary creature, but an outing?"

After hearing Maria's message, Fei Lun casually opened the message she sent, glanced at it hastily, and then started to complain.In response, Maria shrugged her shoulders.

"In fact, looking for the existence of the secondary creature is just an excuse. The exploration of Devil Mountain is the most important thing. You have just arrived here, and you may not know the situation. In fact, there are many strange things in Devil Mountain. Stuff, real weird stuff, not the man-made ones here..."

Speaking of this, Maria glanced at Delin, who was lying on Faerun's knees and squinted her eyes enjoying the touch, and curled her lips.

"Why do you think we have so many familiars here?"

"You don't mean they all came from this place called Devil's Mountain?"

Hearing this, Fei Lun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. If this is the case, then it would be really interesting.

"Absolutely. At least these familiars like to stay around Devil Mountain. Why specifically..."

"She's right, my lord."

Before Maria finished speaking, Delin raised her head and glanced at the huge black mountain in front of her.

"I also feel that this place gives me a very comfortable feeling. In the words of you humans... the air here is fresh, which is very suitable for our familiars to live here."

"Fresh air?"

Hearing this, Phelan smelled the air outside, and he didn't smell any special smell except for the unique smell of grass and trees in the forest.

"I'm just making an analogy."

Seeing Fei Lun's movements, Delin nodded lightly, and then curled up into a ball again.

"A talking familiar is really nice..."

Looking at Delin, Maria also sighed complicatedly.Although she has a good relationship with her own Huofenghuang, sometimes she still worries about whether they will get the meaning of each other wrong.If my fire phoenix can also become a powerful familiar like the cat-eared maid, then I don't have to worry so much... But this idea just flashed through Maria's mind, so she continued to introduce go down.

"Besides that, there are many interesting rumors. For example, someone said that he once discovered a piece of energy crystal mine in Devil's Mountain..."

"Wait, what is that?"

"It's the ore of the energy crystal... It caused a big sensation in the Ten Towns at that time. At that time, almost everyone went out to find the legendary energy crystal mine. The result... you can guess. When we arrived, there was not even a ghost hair left, and the team led by the man who claimed to have seen the energy crystal mine disappeared directly without any reply. And we also suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw..."

"There were heavy casualties?"

"That's right, the third rumor about Devil's Mountain is that there are many mutated creatures here, especially in the mountain. It is said that there are countless mutated creatures there. When we explored the energy crystal mine before, we did encounter several mutated creatures. attacks, and even some horrific monsters we've never seen before."

Having said that, Maria slapped the steering wheel boredly, and then glanced at Faerun.

"So you get it?"

"understood."

Of course Phelan understood. Originally, he was still curious that the secondary mutated creature did not exist at all. Judging from Maria's report, they ran all over the vicinity and didn't even find a single bird feather. So Ten Towns is How to set the target area at this place called Devil's Mountain --- now it seems that this place has a long history.

As the saying goes, you can't run fast until you reach the top of the mountain. Although the mountain seems to be right in front of you, when Feilun and his party actually entered it along the mountain road, it still took more than half a day. Because there was no sun, the light became darker and darker. .After entering the mountain road, everyone turned on their car lights and headed forward on a muddy dirt road in front of them. It has to be said that under the light, the dark woods in front of them flashed from time to time. The shadow looks quite eerie and scary.Kurona was even more frightened and grabbed Franka's arm next to her, while Franka's eyes widened curiously, smiling at the scene in front of her that looked like a haunted forest... She was really not that scared.

"How long will it take to get from here to our destination?"

"About a day and a half...To be honest, I'm more worried about..."

And just before Maria finished speaking, Culona, ​​who was holding Frank's arm tightly, suddenly straightened up, stared forward with wide eyes, and then spoke.

"Commander! Someone is approaching!"

"what?"

Hearing Krona's words, Maria couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter.She didn't have a good impression of this little guy, Krona, but she didn't hate it. Seeing her so nervous at the moment, she quickly felt amused, and said with a smile.

"Who can be here? There are..."

However, Maria did not finish what she said, because at this moment, Kurona stretched out her finger and touched the air lightly.And then, the scenery in front of Maria suddenly changed.

The originally pitch-black mountains instantly turned into grid-covered images, and then Maria saw dozens of bright red human figures driving vehicles towards her and the others on the other side of the invisible mountains. Coming in the direction of flying!This immediately startled Maria. She stepped on the accelerator and stopped the car immediately. Then Maria turned her head, her eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Krona.

"What ability do you have!?"

"……………ah…………"

After seeing Maria's expression, Kurona reacted and screamed softly, then quickly withdrew her ability.This is actually caused by Kurona's habit. In the past, whenever she found that something was wrong, she would immediately point out the target to others, and Eluka and Chris would also take action based on her guidance.As a result, Kurona just noticed someone approaching, so she naturally spread out the investigation net first out of habit. However, she forgot that there was an outsider on her side, and was stunned for a moment.

"how many people?"

Compared to Kurona's surprise, Faerun seemed very calm.

"Big, about fifteen or six people..."

Before Krona finished speaking, Maria already knew what to do. She opened the car window and whistled. Soon, with a soft chant, the fire phoenix descended from the sky and landed on Maria's body. On his arm, he tilted his head and stared at her.And Maria stretched out her hand, pointing in the direction that Krona just said.

"Go see what's going on there."

"------!"

Hearing what Maria said, the Fire Phoenix nodded, then spread its wings and flew in that direction.Maria, on the other hand, withdrew her head and continued to drive the car forward.But this time, her expression became much more complicated.At first, Maria didn't quite understand why Fei Lun had to bring the two little guys, Culona and Franka. She was very surprised before, but now, Maria finally understood.You must know that Krona said that someone was approaching just now, but in fact, Huo Fenghuang found that the other party was still a long way away from herself and the others.But this little girl in front of her can actually perceive what is happening in such a far range?
Maria is also an esper herself, and of course she knows how terrifying Kurona's induction ability is. The walking human radar is almost a nightmare for all espers. Even if you want to make a sneak attack, you can't do it, because your Everything is under the eyes of the other party... No wonder Feilun will take her with him no matter where he is. For such a young child, his ability to protect himself is probably limited. Rather than letting her stay behind alone, it would be more useful to follow him. .

Unexpectedly, this young man looks young, but he is surrounded by powerful people... Needless to say, the familiar, even a little girl has such a powerful ability, but I don't know... ...

Thinking of this, Maria couldn't help but glanced curiously at Franke behind. This little guy didn't show anything along the way. Could it be that...she also has some special ability?

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Just as Maria was thinking wildly, suddenly, a series of machine gunshots came from a distance, and the sudden sound not only broke the silence on the mountain.It made the originally nervous people even more uneasy at the moment.However, Maria's expression changed suddenly, and then she braked directly, and after stopping the car, she opened the door and jumped out of the car.Then Maria turned her head and looked towards the place where the gunshots sounded. After a while, the fire phoenix from before flew down from the sky with its wings flapping, and threw itself into Maria's arms, screaming. He let out a low groan of grievance, while poking his head out to rub Maria's cheek—it seems that the relationship between the master and the slave is really good.

But this is also a matter of course, if the relationship is not good, the familiar will not care about your human life or death.

"Damn bastard!"

At this moment, Maria's complexion was ashen. Although Huo Fenghuang couldn't speak, the two had a close relationship. Even cat slaves and dog owners could guess their pet's mind, let alone a familiar.Obviously, the other party not only discovered the Fire Phoenix, but even dared to shoot it with a gun?

I'm going to fuck these bastards...... No matter who they are, they will die! !

Thinking of this, Maria first glanced at Fei Lun, and after confirming that Fei Lun had no objection, she immediately gave the order with a gloomy expression.

"Everyone, gather in place—ready for battle!"

Hearing this, the residents of Shuangye Town who were a little curious and watching the excitement suddenly became serious.They got out of the car silently, and then quickly made gestures. Soon, some familiars were seen spreading around under the command of their masters, and disappeared without a sound.Other familiars stood in front of them, forming a barrier.The fire phoenix next to Maria also flew into the sky again at this moment, hovering incessantly, as if waiting for something.

"Boom...Boom...!!"

At this time, suddenly, a series of engine roars suddenly sounded, and then everyone saw several armored off-road vehicles suddenly appearing not far from their sides. Stopped in front of Fei Lun and the others.

"This is really interesting."

Sitting in the car, looking at the highwayman in front of him, Fei Lun couldn't help touching his chin.

The clothes of these people are completely different from the ordinary wasteland residents. They wear strange robes and wrap their heads with white cloths similar to Indian Asan.Everyone holds an AK in their hands, and they look like... Well, you can play [-]/[-] without makeup.

“Believer’s Town…………”

Seeing these guys, Maria's complexion also changed. She obviously didn't expect that she would encounter people from Believer Town so soon, but even so, she didn't plan to back down. She said before that she would help Huo Fenghuang. , two people who are like sisters, how could they give up?

Thinking of this, Maria also looked indifferent, and let out a low drink.

"You stand in front of us, what do you want to do!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hearing Maria's question, those bearded men suddenly laughed. They waved the AK in their hands, laughing ferociously like wild animals.One of the leaders, the bearded man, glanced at Maria dismissively before speaking.

"Go away! Woman! You have no right to talk to us!"

"you……………"

Hearing the other party's answer, Maria was even more upset, but before she could speak again, the bearded man stretched out his hand and pointed at Faerun.

"You, come here!"
