Chapter 296 Outpost No.
When the guard heard that Li Qian and the other two were looking for one of his immediate superiors, he asked respectfully, "What are your names?"
"My name is Li Qian, and I am a junior of Master Tie. This is Irina, Master Tie's student. The last one..." Li Qian paused, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips, "She is also an acquaintance of Master Tie!"
He did not directly reveal Teacher Han Ke's identity. Besides wanting to give Mr. Tie a surprise, he also wanted to see his reaction.
The guard noted down the identities of the three people, mainly Li Qian and Irina, and then returned to the guard room to contact them.
Not long after, he returned to the gate and said, "I'm sorry, Deputy Envoy Tie is not in the garrison."
"Then where did he go?" Li Qian asked immediately.
The officer on duty replied: "Going to patrol Outpost Number Nine."
Li Qian had also heard of outposts. They were observation stations specially set up in major cities in the dimensional plane to monitor some special places.
It can also be said to be a guard post.
For example, in some places, there are extremely powerful supernatural creatures lurking. Although they do not show much aggressiveness, we must be on guard against them.
For example, in some places, the space nodes are weak and unstable cracks often appear. Do we need to be on guard?
These special situations are all within the observation range of the outpost.
"Excuse me, Outpost No. 9..."
Li Qian was about to continue asking questions when Irina suddenly interrupted, "Let's go, I know where it is."
Since Tie Lao was not in the garrison, Li Qian and the other two had no intention of entering and they turned back.
Just as they turned back, in the Guardian Mansion, in the Beast Taming Tower, a middle-aged square-faced man who looked to be only about forty years old suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "My friend, you can't hide."
"Besides, there is no point in hiding from some things. We must face them and solve them..."
After muttering something, he closed his eyes again and continued to sit cross-legged in meditation. His whole body was like a piece of wood.
At the same time, on the other side, in a simple town about a hundred kilometers away from Feihe City, Tie Lao stood on the town’s city wall with a frown on his face.
In front of him, dust and smoke were rolling, covering an area. With his amazing eyesight, he could clearly see that in the dust and smoke, there were animal shadows running back and forth as if they were tireless.
Tie Lao stared at the animal shadows in the dust. They were a group of one-horned rhinos. No one knew what they were doing. They had been occupying the area ahead for several days.
He had been on high alert these past few days, fearing that the abnormally excited unicorn rhinos would suddenly go crazy and attack Outpost No. 9.
This place is called an outpost, but in fact, in terms of scale, it is more than just a site, it is more like a small town. Not only does it have human beastmasters who live here all year round, it is also an important supply point for a group of human beastmasters to enter and exit the Swamp of Despair.
If this group of one-horned rhinos were to charge at us, this outpost might be destroyed.
For a human beastmaster, this is definitely a huge loss. The reason why he has been staying here these days is to prevent such things from happening.
Moreover, there are quite a lot of unicorn rhinos in the dust, and there are even unicorn Tyrannosaurus rex that have reached the overlord level. If they really attack the outpost, Tie Lao doesn't think he can withstand it alone.
Just as Tie Lao was observing anxiously and hurriedly, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. In the dust, a group of one-horned rhinos rushed over like crazy.
Their target was clearly Outpost No. 9.
"What you fear will come true!" Tie Lao saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but complain. Without hesitation, he summoned one of his pets - the Wind and Thunder Lion.
In this kind of situation, a frontal attack type pet like the Wind Thunder Lion is most suitable for performance.
Golden Pearl Bud is not around, and positioning is only auxiliary, so even if it is released, its effect is limited.
As for the DeathAdder, it is too small and is not suitable for launching surprise attacks. Large-scale group battles are not its forte.
The last one is the Four-Winged Mantis. After all, it is Tie Lao’s trump card, and he has no plans to use it immediately.
He frowned in thought, looking at the Wind and Thunder Lion that was already fighting with the herd of unicorn rhinos, his eyes full of confusion.
I couldn't understand why this group of one-horned rhinos suddenly went crazy and attacked Outpost No. 9.
Just when the Wind-Thunder Lions and the One-Horned Rhinos were fighting and the battle was quite stalemate, a lion's roar was also heard in the sky!
"Hoohoho..."
"That's... the Thunder Griffin!" Looking at the pet beast that suddenly appeared in the sky from afar, Tie Lao recognized its identity at the first moment.
Then, a look of deep surprise appeared on his face.
The Thunder Griffin, like the Wind Thunder Lion, evolved from the Electric Lion, but the evolutionary routes are different.
The potential of the two is almost the same, and there is no question of who is higher or lower, so his shock was not essentially because of the appearance of the Thunder Griffin, but the person riding on the back of the Thunder Griffin.
Three people who surprised him very much.
Li Qian, Irina, and the person he wanted to see but was afraid to see...Han Ke!
"Hoohoho..."
The Thunder Griffin fell and landed directly on the wall of Outpost No. 9. Then, under Irina's command, it joined the battle and began to assist the Wind and Thunder Lion in dealing with the group of unicorn rhinos in problematic condition.
"Mr. Tie, what's going on?" After landing, Li Qian immediately walked to Mr. Tie's side. Without even having time to greet him, he asked directly.
Tie Lao looked at Li Qian and a bitter smile appeared on his face, "I don't know either."
If he knew the reason, he wouldn't be so passive.
Now, he just hoped that the one-horned Tyrannosaurus Rex farther away would not get involved, otherwise the situation would get completely out of control.
The fall of Outpost No. 9 was only a matter of time.
"This group of one-horned rhinos is not normal..." Irina's eyesight was amazing. She found the abnormality with just a simple glance.
"In fact, this group of one-horned rhinos have been living not far from Outpost No. 9. However, they are usually gentle and basically will not actively attack human animal tamers, let alone directly ram the outpost." Tie Lao continued to explain.
After hearing this explanation, Li Qian was also quite confused.
He also had some understanding of the unicorn rhinoceros, which was a relatively gentle pet. Logically, it was unlikely that the situation at the moment would occur to it.
When he was puzzled, he didn't care about giving Tie Lao any surprise and started thinking directly.
Both Teacher Han Ke and Irina calmed down their thoughts for the time being and focused on the crisis at hand.
