Chapter 1664.2: Scavengers
An almost completely decapitated man not far from the truck suddenly screamed as the flames spread to him.
— So, you were planning to wait until the black dragon killed me, after which you would try to find something valuable among my remains? Su Xiao asked, more or less adapting to the new language. He spent 30,000 Paradise Coins to learn it, it was one of the most popular languages of the Black Abyss.
— No, no, we... " A bald man with pale skin immediately replied as he knelt down. Not only did he have no hair on his head — he didn't even have eyebrows. He looked exactly like an egg, no, his skin was too pale, he was more like a boiled egg.
— So you guys rushed here to save me out of the kindness of your heart?
Su Xiao's condition wasn't good, and numbness still filled most of his body, but even a weakened lion wasn't someone that could be attacked by a pack of hyenas.
*Pouf!*
The head flew up into the air, after which Su Xiao lightly swung his long sword.
— You, come here, " he said, and pointed the blade at the crowd of eggheads. More than a dozen "hyenas" were kneeling next to the truck, their hands behind their heads.
Because of their special appearance, it was difficult to distinguish between men and women.
All these hyenas were gathered together. Most of them were trembling, and only a small part of them were actively thinking about how they could escape, call for reinforcements, and avenge all their fallen comrades.
— First question: where are the Apologetic Heights located?
— ???
The man kneeling in front of Su Xiao was stunned at first, then shook his head.
— If you don't know, then you're useless.
— Wait, I know where the mountains of Truth are.
— Mountains of Truth?
Su Xiao's mission description included the name "Apologetic Heights", but this egghead had never heard of such a place, he only knew that there were "Mountains of Truth" in the Black Abyss»...
If there was no secret hidden in the name, and they were almost identical in meaning, most likely the problem lay in the translation from one language to another..
— I - I told you what you wanted to know. Can we leave?" I swear, I won't hold a grudge against you, we're just trying to survive, " the man kneeling in front of Su Xiao raised his hand.
It must have been some unique gesture of swearing in the Black Abyss.
— Of course... no.
Dragon Flash returned to its scabbard...
*A clang!*
The ring spread out in all directions from Su Xiao, and before the dozen hyenas could react, a line of blood appeared on their chests or necks.
They were the real scavengers of the Black Abyss. In terms of the strength of a single individual, they were definitely at the bottom of the Black Abyss, but they were a very large race and lived in groups, which allowed them to move through dangerous places without much trouble.
These scavengers were like garbage collectors. They picked up everything that didn't fit well and took risks with ease. As soon as they noticed the injured Su Xiao and the dead black dragon, they immediately surrounded the two of them so that they would definitely not disappear.
There wasn't a single living thing around Su Xiao now. After a moment of hesitation, he took out a potion bottle from his bag.
After drinking the ancient secret potion, the numbness began to gradually leave his body.
Now he only has 5 potions left.
*Ka-ka-ka~*
A black-bodied bird, similar to a crow but magnified several times, swooped down. Thanks to the Apostle's Eye, Su Xiao learned that this creature was called a "Shadow Crow", with all the characteristics of this creature exceeding 50 points.
And such a creature in the Black Abyss was somewhere at the bottom of the food chain.
When one Shadow Crow swooped down, hundreds of its brothers and sisters immediately followed. They didn't dare approach Su Xiao, who was currently sitting on the dragon corpse, but they didn't see any problems absorbing the egghead corpses.
Flesh and blood immediately began to fly apart, and some particularly greedy crows even began to literally get into the corpses.
After a while, Su Xiao walked over to the overturned truck. Apparently, because they were too engrossed in their food, the crows didn't react at all to his approach, so he had to kick a few particularly brazen crows out of his way.
He pulled the hose out of the side of the truck and turned the valve.
Clean water immediately gushed out from the hose, and Su Xiao began to gulp it down greedily.
The murmur of water attracted the attention of a hundred black ravens, and a moment later, a huge flock rushed towards her.
In the middle of the desert lay the corpse of a dragon. An overturned truck lay nearby. A man was standing next to the truck, looking up and drinking water. From the truck, a small trickle of clear water flowed upward, which even formed a small rainbow in the middle of the hot desert.
A large number of ravens danced wildly in the air, trying to drink as much water as possible.
