"Not long ago, a monster attacked the city. The nearby roads, including the road into the mountains, have been destroyed by monsters. We need to reach the Kata tribe camping site before dark, so there will be some bumps on the road later.

." Bran, the caravan director who was sitting on Bu Shan's back, handed a slightly pungent-smelling green fruit to Leo, who had just sat down next to him, and suggested: "If you feel a little uncomfortable, you can suck it.

With this awakening fruit, it can relieve discomfort.”

"Thank you." Leo did not refuse the other party's kindness, took the awakening fruit, and then focused on other places again.

For him, Moissanite Continent was a very novel place. Only after leaving the Torch Port City area, which was not much different from other mainland port cities, and truly entering the land of Moissanite Continent, did he feel that Moissanite Continent was a new place.

The difference between this continent and the other two continents, and this difference is mainly reflected in the intensity of energy fluctuations in the surrounding air.

The situation in the port city was not too abnormal, but after leaving the port city, the surrounding energy fluctuations became more intense and restless, as if they had broken into a surging ocean from a calm lake area.

.

And more importantly, there is an unknown energy hidden in the subtle energy that exists in the air that Leo cannot clearly perceive, and he can only feel that this energy should be based on some reactions of his exposure to this energy.

It is related to the unknown force that causes various mutations in the entire world.

In Velen Continent, I don’t know whether it is because of the black forest or because there are a large number of mutated Familia in Velen Continent itself. The energy in the air there does not contain this special unknown energy. This may be why the mutations in Velen Continent are all

The main reason is that the Familia, mutants and other mutated creatures are already mutated. The main reason why the normal species in Velen Continent does not mutate as much as in Moissan Continent is the main reason.

For example, Bu Shan, the unique beast of burden of the Mo Sang Continent that Leo is riding now, is a typical example of biological variation in the Mo Sang Continent. Bu Shan is the first beast domesticated by humans in the Mo Sang Continent, and after thousands of years of domestication,

It has become an indispensable domestic animal in the Mosang continent. Its meat can be eaten, its skin can be made into pigeons, its internal organs are one of the main materials for shaman potions, and its bones can be made into ornaments. Moreover, when it was alive, it was also a member of the Mosang continent.

The best means of transport on this mountainous continent.

In the past, Bushan's normal body shape was about the height of an adult and the length of two adults. Although it was considered a large beast, it was still within an acceptable range. But now, after a series of mutations, Bushan's body shape has changed.

It is several times bigger and is almost the same as a hill. Bran Fire Dancer's current caravan even has a unique small house installed on the back of the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a

A mobile home.

In the Moissan continent, there are many ordinary creatures like Bu Shan that have undergone huge mutations. Some domesticated poultry have even reverted to their ancestors, and their animal nature has reappeared in them. What is interesting is that these animals that were once manipulated by humans at will

The slaughtered livestock have now become the most troublesome mutated monsters in various city-states in the Moissan Continent.

The beast tide that occurred in Torch Harbor City not long ago was caused by these mutated monsters that were once domestic animals, and more than 70% of the beast tides that occurred in the Mosang Continent were also caused by such monsters.

And those more powerful wild mutated creatures and monsters rarely attack humans in the form of beast tides, and even if they do, they are not very large.

The main force currently used by human civilization to resist the tide of mutant beasts is not only the supernatural and supernormal power such as gods, wizards, controllable mutants, etc., but the most important weapon is the door on the city wall that fires special cannonballs.

artillery.

This is because the high-energy materials needed to make special bullets and explosive shells are no longer in short supply. Now almost every mutant creature has such high-energy materials. When the supply of materials is stable, special weapons will naturally be available.

It can be openly supplied and used openly.

For example, nearly half of the people in this caravan now wear firearms that fire special bullets. Although the other half still use cold weapons and mechanical crossbows, some of their arrows are also modified with special bullets.

, the power is not much worse than that of firearms.

When dealing with the tide of monsters mutated from domestic animals, these cities in the Moissan continent do not need to use any extraordinary power prepared on the city walls. They only need to use the artillery with these special ammunition to attack in a wide range.

It's just that while these artillery cannons kill mutant monsters on a large scale, they also damage the infrastructure outside the city. Therefore, after every beast tide, there will be a large number of workers outside the city repairing various infrastructures, such as roads, etc.

Because the environment around Torch Port is full of mountains and forests, the suburbs here do not have a large amount of farmland like other plain cities. Except for the safety of the city, a large number of trees will be cut down and an open space isolation belt is built around the city. Other places are still the same.

The most primitive forest state will be maintained.

The road built in Torch Port only leads to a hunter's rest area on the edge of the deep forest. This is not only the last safe area for hunters in Torch Port before entering the mountains, but also the warning area or sentinel area before each animal tide appears. It is located in a

On the top of a mountain with a relatively high altitude, there is a towering masonry sentry tower. Standing on the top of the sentry tower, you can see most of the area from the coastline to the depths of the forest. As long as you arrange a lookout with a particularly strong eye

Standing here, any large-scale beast tide appearing here can be predicted in advance and notified to Torchport City.

Because after seeing the movement of the beast tide, it was difficult for the people in the Hunter Rest Area to run back to Torchport City, so they could only resist the attacks of the beast tide monsters in the rest area, and the way they resisted was to build a solid bunker.

However, unless they are the garrison stationed in the rest area of ​​Torch Port, other people who enter the bunker can only stay on the first floor, and these people are also the first layer of defense against monsters that invade the bunker.

Because of this approach of Torch Port, many people are curious about the situation deeper in the bunker. From the original construction materials leaked from some locations on the first floor of the bunker that cannot be modified, it is judged that this bunker may be a

It was built by prehistoric civilization, but the people of Torch Harbor only accidentally discovered this bunker and made use of it.

Leo also heard something about the bunker when the caravan passed by the rest area, so when the caravan went through customs clearance procedures and made final material preparations, he extended his mental network underground and scanned the underground situation.

The scan results also confirmed some rumors. This bunker is indeed very old. It was not built by Torch Harbor or prehistoric civilization. It looks more like an inverted wizard tower, but there is nothing like the wizard here.

The existence of the extraordinary power involved is just a simple bunker building.

The area inside the bunker is very huge, extending downward almost to the bottom of this mountain with an altitude of more than 400 meters. The interior of the mountain is hollowed out by nearly one-third. According to Leo's estimation, even if half of the people in Torch Harbor are

You can fit them all in and you won't feel crowded.

Torch Port's exploration and use of this bunker only stayed in the top twenty meters of the bunker. As for the area below, perhaps due to the movement of the mountain caused by the earthquake, a complete building was cut off, and this

The fault is at least ten meters long, and it is difficult to excavate it with the current power of Torch Port.

As for the areas that have been explored, they have been reused. The things found here should have been moved away long ago. Now they have been transformed into warehouses and barracks, and the number of garrison troops stationed here is even greater than what is known outside.

The number of people is much larger. It seems that they want to use this place as a key force that can act as a surprise attack when Torch Port is attacked.

If there was enough time, Leo would take the time to explore the depths of the bunker and study the origin of the bunker. But now Leo just wants to reach the New Bodo District as soon as possible, so after the caravan completes the procedures, he follows the merchants.

The team left together.

After leaving the Hunter Rest Area, although the current location is still considered to be the west side of the Newski Mountains and closer to Torch Port, according to the administrative division, this is already considered the New Bodo District.

Because of this, Torch City is no longer responsible for the road over the Newsky Mountains after the rest. Now this mountain road is an unmanaged mountain road all the way to the Lookout Tower on the east side of the Newsky Mountains.

Because the mountain road is difficult to travel, more people prefer to go to the Port of Hope in the New Port area by sea. There are only one or two land caravans such as the Fire Dancer Caravan a month.

In fact, if it is just for the convenience and speed of doing business, the Fire Dancer Caravan should not choose to take the land route, at least the route from Torch Port to New Bodo District should not take the land route, but the Fire Dancer Caravan is not only

It is just as simple as a caravan. It also shoulders tasks such as establishing contact with other indigenous tribes on the Mozan continent. There happens to be such an important indigenous tribe, the Kata tribe, at the northern end of the Newski Mountains.

.

In the Moissan continent, faced with the continuous invasion of civilizations from the other two continents in the Velen world, most of the primitive tribes in the Moissanite continent either completely integrated into the new civilized society, or chose to leave the invaded land and enter deeper into the wasteland.

Preserve the most primitive state of their tribe.

However, some tribes will choose other methods. For example, the Kata tribe went north to the northern end of the Newsky Mountains and settled in the primeval forests in the mountains. While still maintaining a complete tribal culture, they also interacted with outside civilization.

Contact and influence the power struggle of outside civilization.

Although there is no substantive evidence, there is always a saying among the Kuishan Confederacy that the Kata tribe led the establishment of the Confederacy, and that it secretly led the subsequent division of New Bodo County into two.

Although the top leaders of the Kata Tribe and the Kuishan Confederate Powers have never acknowledged this statement, it can be seen from the fact that the commissioners of the Kata Tribe stationed in the Allied Powers’ Parliament also enjoy a special status, and the Kata Tribe has special commercial powers within the territory of the Allied Powers.

How much influence the Kata tribe has within the Confederate States.

Because the Kata tribe lives in deep mountains and old forests, no one knows how many people there are in the Kata tribe. However, the Allies once had a small conflict with the Kingdom of America, and the Kata tribe sent more than 5,000 young warriors to join.

Judging from the armies of the Allied Powers, the Kata tribe should be considered a large tribe.

However, as the entire world undergoes changes, many of the beasts in the mountains have mutated and become more dangerous and powerful. The Kata tribe living in the mountains also seems to be not doing well.

The last time the Kata tribe had an impact on the external situation was the establishment of Torch City. After that, the Kata tribe never had closer contact with the outside world. Even the commissioners stationed in the Allied Powers' Parliament were suddenly

After being evacuated, if it weren't for the Kata tribe's public campsites and the people of the Kata tribe stationed and living there, perhaps the outside world would have thought that the Kata tribe had been killed in this world change.

Although the influence of the Kata tribe is only within the small country of the Kuishan Confederacy, it is the only large tribe in the large mountain range outside the wasteland of the Newsky Mountains, so it is so dedicated to the Fire Dancer.

The alliance of tribes is very important, so the Fire Dancer Caravan will temporarily change its trade route, take the land route, and go to the campsite outside the Kata tribe to learn about the situation of the Kata tribe, and also help some Kata tribes when necessary.

Tower tribe.

Therefore, most of the goods prepared by the Fire Dancer caravan this time are mainly weapons, medicines and other items, and the accompanying caravan guards are all battle-hardened veterans, who can form a small army at any time.

"It's really weird!" On the rugged mountain road, Bran sat on the seat fixed on Bu Shan's back. His body swayed from side to side as Bu Shan moved. After carefully listening to the report of his hunter, Bran showed a smile on his face.

A look of doubt.

The attendant sitting at the front and controlling Bu Shan turned back to Bran and asked: "My lord, what happened?"

"It's nothing." Bran shook his head, then was silent for a moment, and asked the guard leader beside him: "I remember you walked through this mountain road a few months ago. Was it as quiet as now? Along the way, there was a lot of noise.

Didn’t you meet any monsters?”

The guard leader immediately shook his head and said: "Of course not. At that time, we encountered at least thirty attacks. Fourteen of my men were eaten by monsters. When we finally arrived at the Kata tribe's camp, even I was also attacked.

He was seriously injured." As he said that, he looked at the dense forests on both sides of the road with a confused look, and said: "This time is really weird, completely contrary to common sense. Is this because there was a beast tide that just happened?"
