Chapter 119: Departure to pick up people

"Niya, please."

Gu Mi patted Niya's big head, fed her a few pieces of lord-level animal meat and the three rice fish that she had promised before, and coaxed her, "I will come back when the task is completed. I'll reward you with three more fish for picking the fat ones."

"Ow!" Niya happily rubbed the palm of her master's palm, then buried herself in the meal, and when she was full, she spread out her wings and raised her head to shout, "Hoo— !"

Hearing the leader's call, all the griffins in the territory except the cubs flew over and landed on the leader's side, waiting for her instructions.

Niya yelled a few times at the group, and didn't know what to explain. I saw three fat and strong griffins walking out of the group, nodded at Niya, and flew back to the nest to look after the young. cubs.

The rest of the griffins lined up neatly, one by one, and flew out of the center of the ring-shaped arena. The ground at the gate of the field landed.

A small open space in front of the arena.

Square baskets with a length and width of about two meters are neatly placed on the ground. The baskets are woven from a kind of purple-blue bamboo. This bamboo has strong toughness, high sturdiness and light weight. The resulting large bamboo basket can fully withstand the weight of several people, and it is not impossible to pack ten people with hard work.

This was the last time Gu Mi went out to expand the griffin beast group, and specially instructed Zhang Rong to find someone to order it.

She knew that the fox clan orcs in the territory were good at weaving all kinds of nimble little things, and these bamboo baskets were one of them. Many fox clan orcs also set up stalls to sell their handicrafts.

It's just that the bamboo baskets at the daily sales points are woven into smaller ones. They are the size of ordinary baskets and can only hold some small things. What she wants is a large bamboo basket that can fit a person, and more than one person. .

According to her request, the fox clan orcs ingeniously used the double-layer weaving method, which added double-layer insurance to the firmness of the bamboo basket, and also reinforced the upper handle part to prevent the handle from falling off due to the heavy load.

Although this will increase the weight of the bamboo basket, its safety will also be greatly increased.

Gu Mi has inspected the goods before and is very satisfied with it.

The griffin beasts are huge in size and powerful, and the weight of a bamboo basket is nothing more than a burden to them.

The Griffin, which landed first, opened its front claws, grabbed a bamboo basket, and then rose steadily into the air.

The griffins behind also followed suit, grabbing bamboo baskets one by one and flying high into the sky.

Some of them are rather naughty, and they also regard bamboo baskets as toys. When they are carried, a super large slalom appears in mid-air, throwing the bamboo baskets more exaggerated than the big pendulum in the amusement park. The pendulum doesn't flip in the air 360 degrees.

Then these naughty bastards were yelled at by Niya.

People with such a detached personality are basically sub-adults. It is normal for teenagers to have undecided hearts and love to play, but they are still obedient or cowardly.

Seeing the leader's anger, all of them immediately became obedient like quails, shrugging their necks and pulling their heads, obediently imitating other giant griffins with a calm personality, flying safely and steadily, and no longer being a demon.

Seeing this, Gu Mi felt that the trial was almost done, so he blew a whistle, and the griffins heard the order and immediately turned around and flew back, lined up neatly, and gently placed the bamboo baskets in their hands. The ground was placed in front of Gu Mi.

Put one and disappear one.

They were all included in the card book by Gu Mi.

They went out on this trip, and the return trip was definitely hard. There was no need to let the griffins fly with the bamboo baskets all the time, they could all be stored in her card book.

Anyway, there are enough vacancies in her card book.

Because of the urgent order time and the difficulty of weaving the goods that the Lord wants, the fox orcs in the territory worked hard, and only 93 pieces were woven.

This number is enough for each of the gryphon beasts on this side of the territory, and they can all go out at that time.

Seeing this, I think I know what Gu Mi is going to do.

That's right, she's going out to pick them up.

The catastrophe is coming, and according to the speed of Cheng Ke and others, it will take at least half a month for them to reach the Hope Territory.

However, Gu Mi couldn't wait for half a month.

The time is too long, and there are too many changes in the middle.

So she simply formed a group of Gryphon air transport teams, intending to carry all the people back in the past.

There are more than 10,000 people, more than 90 baskets, try to stuff them, and run a few more times, it is not impossible to pack them all in one breath.

Without further ado, get ready to go.

Gu Mi rode on Niya and took the lead in flying at the front, and the other griffins consciously followed the leader.

The people in the Hope Territory below saw a large group of gryphons leaving the territory with the Lord Lord, which immediately sparked a wave of worship and discussion about the Lord Lord.

As I said before, even if the griffins of the tribe are far apart, they can rely on certain senses to accurately find each other.

The same applies to Nia.

As the leader, she can accurately find the location of each beast, and even when the distance between the two sides is shortened to a certain extent, she can call them with a cry.

Gu Mi thought it would take them at least one day and one night to find Cheng Ke, and it would take twenty hours if they didn't.

Unexpectedly, it only took about a day to fly, and it was estimated that it would be about seventeen or eighteen hours, when Niya suddenly roared at the sky.

"Roar--!"

A deafening sound like muffled thunder rolled out.

In the next instant, there were also several roars in the distance, and then Gu Mi saw the figures of several griffins emerging from the dense forest in front of them, and there were also several familiar figures sitting on them.

If not Cheng Ke and Avery, who are they?

"Boss!"

"Lord Lord!"

At the same time that Gu Mi saw Cheng Ke and others, Cheng Ke and the others also saw her.

She immediately waved her hands at her excitedly, and almost stood up straight from the griffin's back.

I haven't seen you in such a long time, I miss you.

Gu Mi smiled and motioned for Niya to speed up and rush over to join everyone.

Her group is really high-profile, and when they first met, their attention was attracted by a large group of griffins behind her, and they could not help but blurt out in surprise: "Boss, where did you kidnap so many griffins? Come back? Why are you better than me."

Gu Mi: "...They were subdued by Niya."

She wasn't kidnapped.

Although it doesn't seem to be much different in essence.

"Lord Lord, are you here to pick us up?" Looking at the battle, Avery had some vague suspicions about Lord Lord's appearance in his heart.

"Yeah." Gu Mi nodded and said with a serious expression, "I foretold that there would be a catastrophe coming, and we have to rush back to the territory as soon as possible."

As for the fact that the lord of his own family can predict the catastrophe, in fact, several confidants have a vague idea. The guess is that the Lord Lord did not confess to them, and they did not ask questions wisely.

There are some things that everyone knows well, and there is no need to say them clearly.

Therefore, when Lord Lord deliberately created such a big battle just to take them back as soon as possible, almost everyone knew that this disaster might not be too simple.

"what should we do?"

In an instant, everyone looked serious, waiting for Gu Mi's order.

"How many people are in your team now?" Gu Mi asked.

She still remembered that there were about 10,000 people who escaped from Parlun City before, but just habitually used "God-level Perception" to scan the circle, but found that there were more than 'a little' people.

And the team wasn't entirely human.

Among them are many orcs of various races, and there is even a team composed of more than thirty half-elves. What is going on?

Looking at Cheng Ke.

Gu Mi felt that he had found the answer.

"Hehe..." Noticing Gu Mi's gaze and knowing that she had discovered it, Cheng Ke didn't hide it, and smiled smugly with his hands on his hips, asking for credit: "Boss, I'm good, we encountered several villages that were destroyed along the way. Refugees from , passed through another territory, and saw a lot of refugees who wanted to enter the territory but couldn't get in, so I kidnapped them all."

"In addition, we rescued a group of half-elves who were expelled, and we met their At that time, they were being chased by more than a dozen skull dogs." Avery added silently beside him.

When these two people said these words, their expressions didn't change much. From a distance, others would think that they were just reuniting after a long absence, and they were catching up.

However, only Gu Mi knew that Cheng Ke and Avery were reporting to her the unusual things they encountered along the way.

Like the ruined villages.

Although living in this extremely dangerous world, many territories are destroyed every day, and many gathering places that are not even territories disappear, but they can meet so many along the way, which is obviously unusual.

Hearing Avery mentioning the bone dogs they used to save the half-elves made Gu Mi recall the fire-ravaged village she encountered before.

When she was helping to bury the victims, she got black ashes on her hands.

The black ash felt very delicate, it didn't look like something like a house was burned, and it didn't look like sand. If Gu Mi really described it, she felt that it was a kind of ashes.

Unfortunately, when she killed the skeleton axemen who suddenly emerged from a black hole in the territory a few months ago, they also left similar ashes after they died.

These two things seem to be inextricably linked, but inexplicably give people a relationship that is inextricably linked to each other.

Even...

the time line is pushed forward, to the bone cat she encountered when she just entered the survival game after her rebirth.

Like Bone Dogs, Bone Cats are undead creatures.

There are indeed some undead creatures in the Great Forest of Ekra. After all, there are too many killings happening here at any time, and the undead creatures are born from the dark aura of death and resentment from the corpse.

But they are more concentrated in the central surrounding area, and there are few undead creatures in the periphery.

Now, when chasing and killing those half-elves, so many undead creatures suddenly appeared, which is obviously not normal.

There are some things that can't be thought about carefully, and it is inevitable to think about it carefully.

However, as a lord, Gu Mi is responsible for the safety of the territory and the safety of all the citizens, so she can't help but think about it.

She couldn't help thinking hard.

At this time in the previous life, what type of catastrophe happened?

However, the memory shows a blank.
