Home of the Brave

There was no one else in the cabin at the bottom level, so quiet that you could hear the tip of a needle landing, and Dai Yang was able to catch the almost faint sound. While concentrating on distinguishing the direction of the sound, he walked lightly towards it, and finally stopped at a vent in the corner of the bulkhead.

"...There is really a sound." Ji Yao put his ear to the vent and listened for a while, then looked back at him with amazement. "Hey, do you have those long-eared bloodlines on your body?"

"Idiot, this is the result of my bleeding and sweating when I was a child, and it has nothing to do with the elves."

Dai Yang responded in a low voice, then squatted down, carefully removing the grille of the vent with a silent motion. Behind the grille was a rectangular hole, Dai Yang squeezed in with great effort, and couldn't help but curse after only one glance.

"Tsk, there really is a mechanism, I was almost deceived..."

"What mechanism?" Ji Yao asked the black-haired youth who had withdrawn.

"This is not the bottom of the cabin at all. There is at least one floor below, but you can't see it from the outside." Dai Yang said bitterly, "Those birdmen are really messing up!"

"Oh oh!" Ji Yao revealed an expression of excitement. "Then let's go take a look!"

※※※

Behind the vent is a vertical downward passage. The passage is about five or six meters long. There are still handles for climbing on the wall. It seems that it should be a hidden passage. Dai Yang and Mingye went down the passage to the hidden cabin. Through the dim mineral lamp, he could see that he was in a long narrow passage, and the breathing sound came from the front of the passage.

Dai Yang made a gesture of peace and quiet to Ming Ye, then touched the corner of the end with a silent step, and quietly stuck out half of his head.

At the end of the passage was a heavy iron gate. Behind the gate seemed to look like a warehouse. Two guards, one from the left and the other, guarded both sides of the iron gate. The two guards had no wings behind them, and they felt different from the sentry outside. Dai Yang condensed his eyesight to observe the face in the dark. What made him almost exclaimed was that the ugly appearance with no senses was the man in black they were looking for.

(Found it!) Dai Yang threw his fist in excitement, turning his head and gesturing to Ji Yao. (They are in black, there are two.)

(Do you want to kill them?) Ji Yao leaned over, showing an eager look.

(Wait, I am a little concerned about what is behind them...) Dai Yang thought about it, and then judged like this. (Don’t startle the snake, use "Shadow" to fix them, go in and have a look.)

(Are you sure this trick works for those guys?) Ji Yao questioned with his eyes. (These guys are weird in ancient times, but they are not comparable to those straw-bag sentries outside.)

(If it doesn't work, rush to kill them.) Dai Yang made a gesture of wiping his neck. (You deal with the one on the left, I deal with the one on the right, don't give them a chance to alert.)

(Well, leave it to us!) Nodding clearly.

After confirming that Ji Yao was ready, Dai Yang Ning shot out two feather arrows and threw them at the two men in black at the same time. Under the cover of darkness, two feather arrows quietly shot to the man in black, but just before they hit the target, a strange wave suddenly appeared in the void. It seemed that something invisible was guarding the man in black, and it flew out the feather arrow.

At the same time that the feather arrow was shot flying, the men in black also noticed the presence of the intruder. One of them leaped towards the corner where the two were hiding, while the other rushed back.

(Hands!) Dai Yang swooped out like an arrow from the string, ducked his head to avoid the fierce blade of the man in black, and rushed straight to the other man in black who had escaped.

Motivated by the demon spirit, Dai Yang exerted his light skills to the extreme. It only took a second to catch up with the man in black who had fled, and strangled his neck from behind. Having had the experience of the previous two fights, Dai Yang knew the evil of the man in black and didn't give him any chance to play. With his hands energetically, he broke the neck of the man in black directly.

At the moment when he broke his neck, Dai Yang encountered a strange resistance, vaguely as if he heard a soft "pop", as if something broke. Then he let go, and the man in black slumped like a missing balloon.

After getting his goal, Dai Yang looked back. I saw another man in black also fell to the ground. Unlike his companion whose neck was broken, he had a blood hole in his right chest.

"We can compare you by a second?" Ji Yao shook off the blood on his right hand and said to him triumphantly.

"I still have time to chase, okay?" Dai Yang responded in an angry manner, blinking suddenly. "Huh? Behind you..." Suddenly, he seemed to see a cloud of black air floating behind Ji Yao, but when he stared at it again, the cloud of black air was nowhere to be found.

"What's wrong behind our back?" Ji Yao looked back in confusion, of course he didn't see anything.

"No...nothing, maybe I was wrong, right?" Seeing that Ji Yao didn't look like something was going on, Dai Yang had no choice but to treat it as a dazzling one.

"Wow, although I heard you talk about it, these guys are really ugly..." Ji Yao looked down at the appearance of the man in black and sighed. "There is no nose and no ears, even the eyes and mouth are sewn on, what on earth do they rely on to fight?"

"...These guys are fanatic monks." Dai Yang said in an unpleasant voice.

"Lastly monk?" Ji Yao's reaction was the same as he had just heard. "What is that? A believer of the Six Pillars of God?"

"The same can be said, but the level of a fanatic monk is much higher than that of ordinary believers." Dai Yang explained to Ji Yao.

The so-called "fanatic monk" is the most fanatical monk who has dedicated everything he has, including his body and soul, to the gods.

Sewing the eyes and cutting off the ears means to completely abandon the will of oneself and only listen to the guidance of God from now on. Cut off the nose and sew on the mouth, which means that from now on no mundane food will be accepted, and the faith of God will be the only food. The fanatic monk completely abandons himself and devotes himself to the gods, and exists as the most loyal puppet of the gods. Not only can they use quite advanced magic arts, they are also protected by the gods, and they can also exert extremely high combat effectiveness even when they cannot see or hear.

"Wow, there are still such things in the world..." Ji Yao showed a look of disgust, but then became curious. "But where did you know it?"

"Well, I have a good secretary." Dai Yang said with a shrug.

"Did Medusa told you?" Ji Yao reacted after two seconds, and then showed regret. "Really, let you pick the baby. I knew we would keep it for ourselves... Ah, but if the hostess is us, she wouldn't try her best like this, right?" Ming Ye retracted her opinion. Throwed a fist at the man. "You dude! Honestly, do you have the same idea with us?"

"Medusa should be stuffed for me, okay? And, I didn't want you to follow." Dai Yang responded in an angry voice. "Don't talk about this kind of boring thing. If the opponent is a fanatic monk, it means that there is a six-pillar **** behind it. Although I don't know who it is, this is not something that can be used as a joke."

"Hmm...well, we are not interested in being a sacrifice to the gods either." Ji Yao nodded, his expression also became more cautious.

"Okay, are you going to go in?" Dai Yang took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door guarded by the fanatic monk.

※※※

Behind the door is a fairly spacious cabin. In the space equivalent to half the area of ​​a football field, a large number of machinery and equipment are stacked. The equipment is quite large, and the outside is covered with canvas tightly. Except for the fanatic monk guarding the door, there was no one else in the cabin, so Dai Yang unceremoniously tore off the canvas and checked the things below.

"Hello, is this a siege crossbow?"

Under the opened canvas is a giant mechanical crossbow three meters long. The crossbow is made of metal and is more than two meters wide. As far as Dai Yang knows, a giant mechanical crossbow like this is usually used to attack fortresses in a war, and it is powerful enough to shoot through two thick stone walls. If it is replaced with special crossbow arrows, one volley of three mechanical giant crossbows is enough to destroy a cavalry squadron. To compete for the Sky Spear Gungnir with this kind of thing is as funny as holding a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

"Even arrows are big!"

Ji Yao's voice sounded on the other side. She lifted another canvas next to the giant crossbow, revealing a bundle of crossbow arrows hidden underneath. Ji Yao picked up a crossbow arrow and compared it with the giant crossbow. Dai Yang looked over and saw that the crossbow arrow was almost two meters long, like the front end of an arrow shaft with the thickness of an adult's wrist, inlaid with a heavy arrow made of tungsten steel. The arrow is extremely sharp, and it surrounds layers of barbs. It is not so much used to deal with the city wall, it is more like it is used to deal with some kind of giant creature.

"This kind of thing, even dragons can shoot to death, right?"

Ji Yao tried to put the crossbow arrow on the giant crossbow, and said a joke, but Dai Yang's whole body was shocked.

"Hey, don't those guys really want to..."

Dai Yang quickly lifted off all the covered canvas, and what appeared in front of him was a large number of mechanical giant crossbows or similar killing equipment. Seeing these murder weapons exuding cold light in the dark, there is no room for doubt. Dai Yang scratched his hair first, then touched his chin, and then affirmed with an incredibly calm voice.

"That's it, these lunatics really want to start a war in the Frost Mountains."
