Chapter 3: The 3rd Iron Pillar
"Bah."
The wooden wine glass was placed heavily on the table, and the force was so strong that it even made the golden wine in the wine glass jump out of the glass, dyeing a little dark colour on the table.
"I have something to do, you continue." The brown-haired youth who was leisurely and leisurely stood up suddenly and left the group of companions who were still chatting and laughing and walked out.
"Boss, where are you going?"
"Walk so fast? Is there any mission notification? It's impossible, we just completed an A-level mission.
" We're drunk today, let's continue drinking!"
After shouting a few times, the group of mercenaries fell into the arms of the wine again.
The brown-haired youth who had previously left the wine market stopped in a less crowded place. He closed his eyes slightly, slowly raised his head, and took a deep breath as if to confirm something.
The soft moonlight fell on the young man's overly handsome face, and with the slightly hooked expression at the corner of his mouth at the moment, it seemed like spring flowers were blooming, gradually melting away the hostile aura of the young man's body that was polished from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Crash-!"
A huge thin wing spread out from behind the youth. The two tips of the thin wing had sharp barbs, which did not look like the steel wings of the bee clan.
The huge thin wings trembled slightly, and the young man's figure disappeared from the spot.
After New Moon left the black market, he walked aimlessly on the street.
The previous job is gone, and the new moon doesn't care. She was curious as to why such an unpalatable crystal nucleus could bring a little satiety, and whether there were any other substitutes for the fullness.
New Moon hits the alien beast on the outskirts of the small town of Isaac.
She has been working on the black market for a full week. Within a week, she saw that many mercenaries were selling the crystal cores of alien beasts for money.
They are all nuclei, and those should be edible.
Go try it.
Just when Xinyue was about to turn her head to go to the suburbs, she stopped abruptly and looked behind her.
The alley behind him was dark, garbage was piled up on the ground at will, and the air was filled with an unpleasant stench.
This alley is not any different from other alleys in Isaac Township.
But New Moon knew someone was following him.
And the smell on that person is not good.
There were deliberately unrestrained footsteps, and then, a burly figure walked out from the corner of the alley.
The faint moonlight can only illuminate half of the person's face. The man's face is fierce, with dark, strange lines on his face that seem to be dyed with paint.
New Moon's "memory," told her that when a certain carnivorous beast gene reaches a certain level, animal patterns will appear on her body.
No doubt on the surface, this is an orc.
"You are very fragrant." The burly man's voice was hoarse, and one pair of eyes had turned into a black compound eye. "You are like a little cake that exudes a sweet fragrance. It is very fragrant. Baby, I can..."
A sharp The long tail suddenly pierced the man's chest.
Blood splattered, and the burly man who had not finished speaking his pupils tightened, and then quickly disintegrated.
The tail that had just pierced his heart swished back, and the barb at the tip of the tail scraped a piece of flesh off the man's chest when it was retracted.
Someone fell.
This scene is too common in the chaotic exile star, and it is often seen that even if someone who lives in a high place accidentally sees it, it will not cause any surprises.
The more chaotic the place, the more you believe in the law of the jungle.
You deserve to die, who made you not strong enough?
The new moon's eyes moved slightly.
She smelled it, smelled a smell that was somewhat similar to the bee woman.
The brown-haired youth crossed the man's gradually freezing body and walked steadily towards the crescent moon, "Are you the queen of the bee clan of this generation?".
Xinyue tilted her head. Compared to the youth's overly handsome face, the first thing she saw was the youth's abdomen.
There is a crystal nucleus there, which can fill your stomach when you eat it.
But it was only for a moment, and the new moon looked away.
Forget it, the crystal nucleus of the bee clan is too unpalatable.
It was so hard to eat that when she was so hungry, she still had more than half of it in her pocket.
"No." New Moon said and left.
There was a slight wind passing by, and the new moon turned her eyes sharply, only to see the young man who was only four meters away, now standing beside her.
The other party was very tall, and she only reached the other party's shoulders, because the new moon couldn't see the other party's face because of the cape hat on her head.
But this did not prevent the crescent moon's right hand from quickly attaching dark blue scales. The sapphire and jade-like scales spread from the fingertips to the elbow, and a dagger-like horn was born at the elbow, which was beautiful and dangerous.
She's in attack mode.
New Moon could feel that this bee clan was strong, stronger than everyone she had seen in the black market.
But so what? He can't beat her.
Xinyue didn't look up, so naturally, she didn't see that the expression of the young man beside her changed after her hand changed.
His light purple eyes narrowed slightly, and his handsome face was content and intoxicated, like an addict who took some kind of drug.
At this moment, Shen Junlin changed his mind.
"Don't be nervous, Your Highness, I won't hurt you. I came here to find you just to help you. Your pheromone tells me that you need help." Shen Junlin said softly.
Xinyue frowned, "What is a pheromone? You found me with that thing?"
Shen Junlin was a little startled, his eyes flickering, but he finally nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, the pheromone of Her Royal Highness will make a certain The bee clan in each area perceives your location, and the more powerful Her Royal Highness is, the larger the area covered by her pheromone."
"Who are you? Are you a bee clan?" New Moon asked.
This man felt a little strange to her.
"Shen Junlin, a mercenary involved with the bee clan." Shen Junlin said.
Xinyue remembered the orc man who had just fallen to the ground, "Can other races know me through that pheromone?"
"No, unless he is a hybrid and has bee genes in his body." Shen Junlin narrowed his eyes, "Your Highness, This is not a place to talk, come with me, and I will take you to a resting place."
Shen Junlin noticed it as soon as he met - the princess who was
supposed to be the treasure of the bee tribe appeared in Exile Star, wearing clothes and A tattered black cloak with no guards around.
So abnormal.
As we all know, every time the queen breaks her shell, it heralds that this generation of Her Majesty will enter a period of rapid ageing.
After the old king dies, there will be a fight between the queen and the queen, and finally, the strongest will be decided, and the queen's throne will be inherited by the strongest.
The future prosperity and decline of the bee clan depend entirely on the queen.
If the queen is strong, the bee clan will prosper.
If the queen is weak, the bee family will decline.
Therefore, for every princess who may become Her Majesty, the entire bee clan is extremely precious, and foreigners are not allowed to hurt their hair.
The queens eat the best food and live in the most beautiful houses. Kari is never short of money, and at the same time uses the highest level of energy spar.
Because that is the future of the bee clan.
"I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat there?" Xinyue asked.
Subtext: I'll go with you if you have it, and forget it if you don't.
Shen Junlin's eyes darkened, "Of course, please come with me."
Xinyue nodded.
Not long after the two left, a figure appeared in this alley that was rarely visited by people in the past.
The visitor looked around for a week before turning his attention to the corpse on the ground.
He squatted down and carefully examined the deadly wounds of the corpse. After a while, he stretched out a pale finger and dipped a little blood from the dead man's heart, and put it under his nose to sniff.
It wasn't the one who did it.
The visitor stood up straight.
The moonlight fell on his unusually pale handsome face and slipped into those blood-like red eyes, there was a dark and unknown evil as if it was some ancient species born from blood.
Xinyue followed Shen Junlin to the left and right and finally came to a tavern with a crooked sign.
Although it is the interstellar age, the Exile Star is so backward that many buildings here are made of stone or wood.
The tavern in front of the new moon is no exception.
Push the door in.
A large bell hung on the door of the tavern, and as the door was pushed open, the bell tinkled.
Now is the big night, the prime time for the tavern to open.
The aroma of wine mixed with the taste of tobacco, and the mercenaries laughed heartily, and they talked loudly and wanton.
Driven by alcohol, one of the overly excited mercenaries did not pay attention, and behind him grew a slender tail that was two meters long.
The thorn-covered tail slammed to the ground, drawing a deep trace from the plank on the ground.
"Sabotage public property, add 300 yuan more when you pay the bill. Please obey the rules, or you will know the consequences." The lady boss who came over with wine picked it up.
The mercenary who just flicked his tail on the floor laughed and laughed, "Is it three hundred dollars? Rest assured, Boss Qing, I can afford it." The
lady boss was about to say something when she suddenly looked at the door, and then her eyes lit up, "Yo~Shen The captain is here, this is..."
Her eyes fell on Xinyue who could not see her face next to Shen Junlin, her tone was very interesting, "A little girl?"
Immediately, many people in the tavern looked over.
In the first hundred years after the interstellar melee began, to enhance the combat effectiveness of the race, the newborns screened by the artificial wombs of many races were all male.
The number of women began to decrease.
In the 200th century of the Great Dogfight, the number of races that chose male births reached 80 per cent, and the number of females went downhill sharply.
In the 300th year of the great melee, I don't know whether it was because of many wars that mutated substances were produced, or whether it was natural to use their weapons to punish the wanton destruction of creatures, and a strange substance appeared in the universe.
This contagious substance P, later named for the powerful "Powerful", is a double-edged sword that increases the combat effectiveness of males that come into contact with it, and also destroys the bodily functions of some weaker females. In the beginning, races who did not know that Substance P would be contagious used it in their races. They even purified Substance P and made it into an injection, delusionally trying to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. For another 100 years, the great melee has not stopped, and some races are shocked to find that the number of women is far less than that of men. A group of men bred from artificial wombs have the same strange disease after birth. In the end, only 30 per cent of these sick people survived, and among those who survived, their fighting power was far less than that of naturally-born males.
What's even more shocking is that these unnatural people... are immune to Substance P.
In other words, the combat effectiveness of non-natural persons is rapidly declining and gradually withdraws from the mainstream of combat effectiveness.
But at this time, the number of women who can give birth to natural persons is pitiful.
Not only are there a few, but there are also a group of infertile ones.
Therefore, in the poor and backward exiles, women are not common.
A woman who can walk freely on the street, either her strength is outstanding, or her backstage is very tough.
