Chapter 1789: Encounter and Tracking
The Asura captives left, but Qu Jianlei and his group were not able to leave the sub-nest.
They could only continue to observe with their spiritual sense while not forgetting to monitor the four Asuras.
While waiting, more Asura nests landed nearby and some left.
These may all have some issues with their origins, but they are very well connected and the many nests do not interfere with each other.
This is somewhat similar to human society, where people do not explore each other's minds. It seems that the gray areas in all societies are similar?
However, two days later, two Asuras walked out of a small nest about a hundred kilometers away and headed straight for them.
One has six arms and the other has four arms.
When they arrived near the nest, the four-armed Asura spoke, speaking a few words.
Qu Jianlei and the others didn't know what the other party was saying, but they were sure that the other party was speaking in a low voice.
The remaining three Ashura captives translated, saying that the other party seemed to have guessed the identity of their bandit group.
These gray areas are really where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are.
The six-armed Asura was proud of his status and didn't say anything. The four-armed Asura said that he wanted to cooperate on some matters and they could discuss the details in person.
Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Let them go!"
Among the three Asura captives, there is one with six arms, and his name is Steel Fang.
Gangya faithfully carried out his orders and released a little golden elixir aura at the same time.
The breath was very subtle and should not alarm other Asuras, but it was enough to intimidate the guy in front of him.
The four-armed Asura was indeed frightened and dared not speak, but the six-armed Asura spoke first and uttered a few words.
To put it simply, in addition to inducements, it also issued moderate threats, probably something like "be careful or I will report you."
Faced with this situation, Qu Jianlei didn't even need to give orders.
Gangya answered disdainfully - Then just give it a try, don't think we don't know who you are.
The other party left angrily, but Gangya carefully explained: it really didn't know the other party's identity.
Anyway, if you want to survive in this kind of place, you must learn to say harsh words. Whether the other party believes it or not is another matter.
Gangya was mainly worried that this group of human cultivators wanted to know each other's background, so he took the initiative to reveal it to avoid trouble.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but imagine a scene in his mind: in Shenzhou Flower City, some uncles threatened each other and reported each other for three illegalities.
Really, why should women make things difficult for other women… Why should the three nons make things difficult for the three nons?
Another day passed, and the two Asuras from Blood Hammer's group came back, both with bruised faces and noses.
They are responsible for gathering information about the Tiger-Headed People, but there are guards from the Yanshang Tribe in that area.
There is a large tribe on Yanshang that has great masters who have achieved out-of-body experience, and Yanhou is just their subordinate tribe, so they act quite unreasonable.
Blood Hammer and the other two were very careful when gathering information, and they did so by bribing other Asuras.
But even so, they were discovered by the guards on the rock, who beat them up and said that this was a tribal secret.
As for why we didn't capture them and interrogate them carefully... because there was no need.
Asura does things in such a rough manner, a beating is considered a lesson, and then the matter is done.
The main reason is that almost no one in this ethnic group has heard of traitors, so those who inquire about this information are mainly out of curiosity.
These days, there are many more curious Asuras than just these two, so beating them up will be enough.
But Blood Hammer also found out that this was a messenger from another world, who wanted to discuss something with the Asura clan.
The general situation now is that the Asura royal family does not want to talk much with the alien races, so the alien races come to contact the major tribes below.
As for what the specific matters were discussed, it is not something that can be easily found out.
Anyway, Blood Hammer knew his limits and just took the beating without fighting back.
"There really is a new world," Qu Jianlei raised his hand and rubbed his brows. This situation... is really getting bigger and bigger.
In addition, Blood Hammer's group also found out about several gathering places of spirit stones, all of which were controlled by the Asura forces.
What’s interesting is that they didn’t get beaten for inquiring about such sensitive information.
But this is also normal. There are many Asuras who are not afraid of death. There are dozens of Asura heads hanging in the places where spirit stones gather.
If you can hold on under the siege of those guards, you might get a good job.
"Millions of spirit stones..." The ruler danced up and down with joy, "I think if we work together, we can do a good job."
"We'll talk about this later," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Anyway, the spirit stone is there, it won't run away."
Two days later, another group of Asuras came back, and coincidentally, they also had bruised faces and noses.
The main task of these two is to find out whether there are any great masters who have achieved the state of leaving the body, as well as news about immortal cultivators on Star Land.
The former piece of information was almost impossible to find out, and it did not cause any trouble - it was just curiosity.
However, when they inquired about the immortal cultivators, they were targeted again and tortured for a whole day, and were asked what they wanted to do.
Fortunately, the two insisted that they wanted to make a storage equipment.
Because they heard that some of the great masters' storage equipment could even accommodate a forward station nest.
This is something they learn on the spot, after all, they have just seen larger storage equipment.
Asura, who was in charge of the interrogation, was also speechless and said that he had never heard of such a large storage equipment.
Anyway, it sounded logically reasonable, so the interrogation lasted only one day.
After being released, the two did not dare to rush back, but continued to inquire about the news of the immortal cultivators.
Asura is not only brave, but sometimes he can be very stubborn - at worst he will beat us up again.
This time, no one really caught them, and these two really got some information.
That is, some tribes have really seen immortal cultivators, but the specific circumstances... are unclear.
The two Asuras wanted to find out more information, but they could not find out anything, so they had to return in a hurry.
Hearing this vague news, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but ponder it, maybe... it was talking about his own side?
However, he did not dare to say it out loud, as he was still troubled by his ability to make his words come true.
He asked a few more detailed questions, but really didn't get much out of them.
Those Asuras only knew that one of their tribes had once encountered a powerful cultivator.
There is no doubt that the fact that the stubborn Asura can admit that immortal cultivators are powerful proves that it is not a false rumor.
Even Jiao Daoren, who seldom offered suggestions, couldn't help but express his opinion.
"In fact, we can consider capturing those Asuras, searching their souls, and then follow the clues to find the real culprit."
The news about the Lingshi mine has been confirmed, so whether we can get it now is not very important.
The main consideration now is to get in touch with the immortal cultivators.
"We can put this matter aside for now," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "What we need to find out right now is the tiger-headed man..."
He was halfway through his words when his brows slightly furrowed, "This is really... embellished?"
Less than a thousand kilometers away, more than a dozen Asuras were flying straight towards them, most of them had six arms.
Their target is very clear, which is the sub-nest where Qu Jianlei and others are located.
However, it can be seen that they are not from the Yanshang tribe, at least not as unscrupulous.
A dozen Asuras soon arrived at the sub-nest, and a six-armed Asura came forward and said that he wanted to meet the owner of the nest.
Its cultivation level is high enough, which also proves that they are not arrogant.
Qu Jianlei thought about it, let the seven Asuras enter a front nest, and then released them.
In general interactions among Asuras, it is normal for them to refuse to enter the nest when they are not familiar with each other.
It is already quite polite to set up a front nest to entertain the guests.
Not all of the Asuras that came entered the front nest. Only five of them entered, three with six arms and two with four arms.
The leading Asura stated straight to the point that they knew where the immortal cultivators' treasures were and hoped that both sides could cooperate to obtain them.
This request was a bit rash, but then the other party made it clear why: We know what you do.
It seems that any force that can take root on the Yanhou Star Continent will have good news.
But Blood Hammer didn't care at all. "There are problems with any nest that stops here, no matter how many there are."
"But do you think that this can control us? Aren't you a little too naive?"
"We don't mean to underestimate you," Ashura on the other side was also very direct, "After all, you are Winch's subordinate!"
The team that Blood Hammer and his crew belong to is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Winch Team—the bandit group that has at least two eight-armed members.
Therefore, the other side is extremely well-informed.
However, Blood Hammer still didn't take it seriously. Instead, Steel Teeth snorted coldly, "It seems like you guys have been living in peace for too long!"
Asura's style of doing things has always been like this. He speaks very directly and will start a fight if he disagrees with something.
Ashura on the other side didn't care, "We won't be afraid if we dare to say it, and... isn't robbery your best skill?"
"It's not like you won't gain anything by cooperating with each other."
Blood Hammer hesitated for a moment before asking, "Whose family are you targeting?"
Now there are only a few of them left in the team, and it is not up to them to decide whether to rob or not, so let's get some information first.
However, the other side was indeed very alert - or rather, arrogant. The six-armed Ashura said: It is impossible to tell you in advance.
If you agree, come with us. When we start, you will naturally know the target.
If you refuse, it will be even more impossible for me to tell you the goal.
When Blood Hammer heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he said simply, "Then get out!"
"They just want us to take the blame and help out... that's wishful thinking!"
Asura seldom plays tricks when doing things, but that's not to say he doesn't know how to do it. However, being a robber makes it too easy to encounter betrayal and calculation.
When the six-armed man on the opposite side heard this, he didn't react at all, neither admitting nor denying.
It glanced around and said slowly, "There are only seven of you here... Are you sure you can represent the entire team?"
