Chapter 1607: The legendary Ruta seat

The latest website: Leo did not wait until the turmoil in the Red Clay City subsided before leaving. Just the day after he returned to the hotel from the inner city, the city gate of the outer city was captured by a group of outlaws, and it was closed for a few days. The city gates were also opened.
Some smart outlaws knew that now was a good time to escape, and if they continued to stay, when the turmoil in the inner besieged city subsided completely, they would not be able to run if they wanted to.
As a result, those desperadoes who had already robbed a lot of property rushed out of the city the moment the city gate opened. They had to stay away from the Red Clay City as much as possible, so that the people sent by the Red Clay City to hunt them down had no chance to catch up. them.
Because a large number of outlaws began to flee, the originally chaotic outer city became a lot more stable. Although there are still some outlaws hanging around on the streets of the city, but their number is already very small, and basically they will not hide in the city. Ordinary people in urban buildings pose too much threat.
Leo also left Clay City the moment the city gate opened. He was not interested in interfering in Clay City affairs, but was curious about the behavior of all parties staring at Clay City, but when he saw Barbarisa, he asked directly. Barbarisa is fine, no need to waste time in town.
However, before leaving the Red Clay City, Leo sneaked into the inner city, collected several implant materials, and stayed on the road to continue to study the implant's energy core formation method.
Unlike those outlaws who rushed out of the red clay city, Leo did not go south, but went to the green emerald area in the northeast.
Although there is a road from the Red Clay City to the Green Jade area, this road is in the battlefield area all the year round and has been in disrepair for a long time. Battlefield, head to the middle of the Green Emerald area.
However, for those smuggling caravans, this abandoned road that crosses the battlefield and leads directly to the West Green Emerald area is the preferred smuggling road in their minds.
Because the Middle Kingdom region does not have a unified kingdom system, the taxation of the entire region is very confusing, and basically every time a region passes through, a tax is paid to the local lord.
Although those lords also knew that excessive taxes would only make the caravans dare not pass through their own territory, so they did not collect a lot of taxes, but the cumulative amount of these small taxes was still a lot of money.
If a caravan like Clay City follows the normal way, it will go south and bypass the battlefield to the middle of the green jade area, but this way, it needs to pass through five different territories. If the road goes directly to the West Green Emerald area, then everything becomes much simpler. You only need to pay the tax once after entering the West Green Emerald area.
Although going directly from the Red Clay City to the West Green Emerald area can save a lot of taxes and fees, except for the smuggling caravans composed of elite soldiers and generals, other caravans prefer to take the normal road and bypass the battlefield. This is mainly because The road across the battlefield was too dangerous for them.
There are several areas in the Middle Kingdom area that are recognized as areas with frequent wars. Basically, several large and small wars break out every year, with casualties ranging from dozens to tens of thousands. The Great Wasteland happens to be one of the areas with the most frequent war disasters. Just from the fact that this area was originally barren deserts and sandy areas, it was abruptly nourished by a large number of corpses killed in battle and turned into grasslands. You can imagine the frequent wars in this area. degree of development.
The people who died in this area are not only the people from the Roro Hill and the Green Emerald area, but also the mercenaries hired by the two sides from other countries. The ore of Roro Hill and the gems of the Green Emerald area are brought to the two places. With a huge amount of wealth, except for a few important wars, most of the other wars between the two sides were to hire foreign mercenaries to fight, so on the remains of the war dead found here, you can see weapons from different countries. Collecting these weapons is more than enough to open a Continental War Museum.
Although Red Clay City will clean up the battlefield for both sides after each conflict, even if most of the corpses are still too late to clean up, these corpses attract all the scavengers and carnivores around them. At first, these animals just looked for those dead corpses. , but later they began to attack living people, and because they feed on people, they are all extremely ferocious and cunning. It doesn't matter if the smuggling caravan kills seven or eight people.
However, this is not the most dangerous thing on this road. The main reason why the caravans in Clay City are reluctant to take this road is a monster called Lutaxi.
According to legend, this monster originally lived in the deep mountains in the north, and was just an ordinary beast, but was later attracted by the grievances of the deceased here.
No one has seen what this kind of Rutasi looks like, and they never come and go during the day, but only in the middle of the night. They appear behind the prey without knowing it, bite the prey to death instantly, and drag it into the darkness.
This kind of monster is very bold, not only attacking the smuggling caravans that come and go, but also attacking the troops on the battlefield. Every time in the war between Rorohir and Emerald, there will always be some people who die in Lutasi. Under the attack, sometimes they were ordinary soldiers, sometimes they were both powerful and powerful, and there was no fixed number.
Therefore, Clay City, Rorohir, and Green Jade all sent people to trap Lutaxi, but without exception, these hunters eventually became prey and never walked out of this wasteland battlefield.
Originally, at Leo's speed, he could pass through the battlefield and enter the West Green Emerald area before dark, but he didn't do that. He was also curious about the legendary and mysterious Lutaxi, so he liked Like an ordinary person, he hurried at a normal speed, and when it got dark, he was still on the battlefield.
Instead of continuing his journey, he found a random place to light a bonfire, and then, like a normal caravan, caught a prey and roasted it on the bonfire.
This method is indeed the best way to attract predators entrenched in this area. Not long after he put the cleaned prey on the fire, a group of wolves emerged from the darkness and stopped in the light of the bonfire. On the edge, they kept spinning around Leo, while a pair of green wolf eyes stared at Leo and the horses next to him, looking like they were looking for an opportunity to attack.
The instinct of animals led the horses beside Leo to pace uneasy, and past experience made him understand that escaping into the dark will only die faster, and approaching the bonfire will have a chance to survive, so uneasy it took steps to let itself do its best. Possibly by the campfire.
It's just that it didn't know that its move to get close to the bonfire just blocked the light of the bonfire, giving those wolves the best chance to attack.
With the scream of the head wolf, the wolves rushed towards Leo and the horse impatiently, their wide open mouth showing sharp teeth, as if they could crush the hardest bones at any time.
However, these wolves were still several meters away from their prey, and their bodies suddenly disintegrated into neatly wounded fragments. After passing a distance in the air, these fragments fell to the ground, and the blood slowly overflowed from the fragments. , flowed to the ground, and soon the area was enveloped by a thick smell.
Originally, Leo felt that he didn't have enough bait, but now there are prey automatically sent to the door as bait, Leo is naturally happy to see it, and now the blood smell in this area is strong enough, it should be able to attract some prey, whether it is It is unknown if there is a legendary Rutassi.
After a period of time, there were constantly carnivorous or scavenging animals attracted by the thick smell here, and they were all left by Leo without exception and became new bait for attracting prey.
I don't know if there are too many beasts dying here, creating an unknown aura, or because all the beasts nearby have been made into bait, and after entering the middle of the night, no new beasts are attracted. , even if there is, it just stopped at the edge for a while, and then quickly escaped.
Time passed little by little, and soon after, most of the night passed, and there was not much time until the early morning. Leo felt that perhaps the legendary Lutaxi would not appear tonight, so he was ready to pack up and leave on horseback.
At this time, an abnormal movement appeared in the area covered by Leo's mental network. Leo immediately looked over there, but he didn't see anything, but then another abnormal movement appeared, only this time. The location is much closer than before, and it feels like something invisible is approaching here.
Leo immediately turned on his spiritual vision and looked over there, only to see that under the action of the Eye of Reality, the hidden mysterious creature had nothing to hide.
It's just that Leo was a little surprised when he saw this creature, because it was different from the Lutaxi he imagined. He had seen this mysterious creature in front of him, half-human and half-deer, with a pair of crystal clear tops that looked like a tree. The antlers of the antlers, coupled with the unique energy fluctuations on his body, the mysterious creature in front of him is obviously a tree demon living in the Black Forest Deer Garden.
Leo remembered that White Deer mentioned that the tree demons are generally not able to leave the black forest. They are only sent out when they need to perform certain tasks, and the tree demons who leave the black forest are, without exception, in their horns. They will wear a gold hoop with the imprint of the Black Forest. This hoop is not only to show their identities, but also to protect them from being affected by the world power of different worlds. It can also help when necessary. The tree demon escaped from the hunt and returned to the deer garden.
However, the tree demon in front of him was not wearing a gold hoop on its horns. Obviously, it did not leave Luyuan in the normal way.
Just as Leo was observing the tree demon, the tree demon also stared at her big eyes and looked at Leo curiously. The reason why she was attracted was not the smell of this area, but the smell on Leo's body. The familiar smell, that smell made her feel very intimate, like family, something she had never encountered before.
At first, she thought she had an illusion, but when she got closer to Leo, she felt that the smell became stronger and stronger, making her completely sure that it was not an illusion, and more importantly, the person in front of her seemed to be able to see to her.
You must know that over the years, she has appeared in front of different people countless times, including ordinary people, warriors, shamans, senior clerics who have obtained divine favors, and even appearing in the incarnation of gods summoned by God's Arrival. In front of her, but all those people turned a blind eye to her without exception, and could not see her at all, which made her realize that she was an exception in this world.
Originally, she thought that she might spend her life alone like this, but what she never expected was that someone could see her, which caused a lot of questions to pop up in her mind instantly, and she had a strong urge to want to. Step up and ask the other person these questions.
However, her cautious character suppressed her strong impulses, and the flesh and blood around her that were used as bait all showed the danger of the other party, so she always paced around the periphery and was ready to escape from here at any time.
"You are the legendary Lutaxi?" Leo asked, but the language he used was not any language in this world, but a language exclusively for tree demons, which was his life in the Black Forest. During that time, I learned from Bailu.
However, the tree demon in front of him obviously did not understand this language, with a blank expression on his face, followed by a common language commonly used in the Middle Kingdom region, and said: "Are you talking to me? I don't understand. Your language, but it sounds nice."
Hearing the tree demon's words, Leo immediately realized that the tree demon in front of him probably didn't come from the Black Forest, otherwise she would never fail to understand this language belonging to their own clan. Thunder language also contains mysterious power, and only the tree demon can use it, and many abilities of the tree demon require this language to be displayed.
Although Leo was surprised by the origin of the tree demon, his face did not show it. Instead, he repeated the question in a language that the tree demon could understand.
"Lutaxi? This name seems to have been mentioned, maybe it's talking about me." The tree demon thought about it seriously, and said a little blankly.
After listening to Leo, he told some of the legends of Lutaxi to the tree demon. After listening to the tree demon, his face immediately showed anger and said, "How can they talk nonsense? Those people I want to save them, they They're wrapped in the power of death, and if I don't save them, they're dead."
"Save them?" Leo was stunned when he heard the words, and then asked: "If I remember correctly, some of those people you took away don't seem to have appeared again? Some of them have appeared, but they are already dead. And the death is horrific."
The tree demon said innocently: "You can't blame me. I can only save them once, take them to a safe place and leave. As for what happened to them after that, I don't know."
Hearing the tree demon's words, Leo suddenly felt a sense of wanting to laugh. He now understands the reason for the legend of Lutassi. Everything is just a misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gradually become a fact. .
