Chapter 136

On the outskirts of Longshande, a car was speeding on the road, heading west.

Ren sat in the car, looking at the farmland beside the road.

Because it was the end of November and the weather was getting colder, there were no crops in most of the fields, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Occasionally passing through some small towns and villages would attract people's attention.

This is on the way to the demon soul farm of the Leansell family.

A few days ago, Viola was also surprised to learn of Viscount Perry's request. For Ren's sake, and for Ren to know the news about the Thunder Saber, she agreed to meet with Viscount Perry, and arranged the itinerary the next day.

Ryan was not involved, nor did he ask what-ifs.

However, on the second day, Viscount Perry happily delivered the golden ticket to his door. Obviously, he should have achieved his expected goal.

Among them, 10,000 gold shields were given to Ren, and the favor fee given to Viola was four or five times more.

As for how much wealth was secretly sent to Director Carol, I don't know.

Ren guessed from Viola's tone that it was no less than 100,000 gold shields!

He couldn't help but be amazed by Viscount Perry's generosity. No one in Longshande could afford more than one hundred thousand gold shields in cash, except for the Duke of Silver Star.

I heard that Viscount Perry's entire family property is only 500,000 to 600,000 gold shields in total. This time, for the throne of the Finance and Taxation Bureau, he really spared no expense.

However, if Viscount Perry becomes the head of the Finance and Taxation Bureau as he wishes, he should be able to earn back soon.

These have little to do with Ren, his current thoughts are all on the Thunder Saber. According to the information provided by Viscount Perry, the magic leopard escaped from his farm. Someone will explain the specific situation to him when he arrives at the farm.

The creatures in the devil soul farm are very dangerous to ordinary people, so they are generally built far away from the city.

The Lionsell family's farm is located to the west of Longshande, more than 150 miles away.

The car drove along the dirt road, passed through several towns and villages, and finally arrived at its destination.

"Mr. Ryan, we are here." The driver said respectfully, and parked the car in front of a huge ranch.

This ranch has no end in sight. It is located at the foot of the mountain. It may cover an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers.

Ren has excellent eyesight, and he can see that there are many horses and several herbivorous monsters in the pasture.

The walls on both sides of the gate of the ranch are higher, like a walled city, with watchtowers and guards with guns standing on them, all of them are gunmen.

The gate opens inward and the car drives in.

Behind the door is a large open space, with a simple manor and several houses for the ranch staff to live in. Not far from the manor, there are several very eye-catching large buildings, like factory buildings, or huge stables, and the roar of wild animals can be heard from time to time.

The car stopped in front of the manor, and several people were already waiting.

When Ren got out of the car, he saw an acquaintance.

It was Driss, the son of Viscount Perry. He looked good, and his injuries seemed to have almost recovered. He was wearing a swordsman outfit, with an enchanted long sword on his waist. He had a tall and straight figure, but his face was ugly and his eyes were gloomy.

Especially when he saw Ren getting out of the car, Driss pursed his lips with a look of reluctance.

Ren took the initiative to greet: "Driss, long time no see."

Whether it's the pursuit of Viola or the competition between individuals, he is the winner, so naturally he doesn't have much resentment towards this defeated opponent.

"snort."

Driss snorted softly, feeling very unwilling.

He remembered his father's warning to him, if he didn't treat Ryan well and have a good relationship with him, then don't even think about going back to Longshande. I was sent to the farm for almost two months, and I have been recuperating from my injuries. In this remote place, I was almost driven crazy.

After a few seconds of silence, Driss suppressed the resentment in his heart, reluctantly nodded and said: "Welcome to our family's farm."

Ren smiled indifferently, and looked at the two people beside Dries.

In the eyes of the soul, the middle-aged man on the left is a high-level warlock with a professional level of seven, and his strength is not bad; With masculine short hair and two huge soul guns stuck in his waist, he is a fifth-level gunner.

Dries patiently introduced the two of them briefly.

The seventh-level warlock is called Harding. He is the manager of the farm. He has very rich experience in breeding demon souls and is also a soul appraiser with extremely high vision.

The female gunman is the guard captain of the farm, and her name is Madeleine.

Harding and Madeleine made no secret of their curiosity about Ryan. They both heard about Ryan from Dries. Of course, Dries didn't say anything good, and kept defaming Ryan.

However, as Transcendents, they would not listen to what Driss said.

It is definitely not a simple character to be able to defeat a fourth-level magic swordsman with the strength of a first-level wizard.

As soon as Ren came down, their eyes lit up.

Today Ren is wearing light leather armor that fits well, and the lining is a cotton padded jacket to keep warm, but it doesn't look bloated at all. He is a head taller than ordinary people, with a tall and strong figure, well-proportioned, and extremely handsome appearance, thick eyes. With big eyes and quiet eyes, the whole person exudes a strong self-confidence, which will never be forgotten by anyone who has seen it, leaving a deep impression on it.

At least in terms of appearance, Driss can't compare, it's too far behind.

Harding noticed that there was a magic sword hanging from Ren's waist, and that off-white belt was also an enchanted piece of equipment.

On the other side of the belt, there is a boxy leather bag, which faintly emits the breath of magic.

"It's really a wizard."

As a high-level spellcaster, Harding is quite sensitive to fluctuations in magic.

But Madeleine's eyes fell on the outside of Ren's thigh. There was a gun stuck there. It had a strange shape. It was a model she had never seen before, and she was very curious.

Ren nodded to the two of them, without saying any polite words, he asked directly, "Where did the Thundersaber escape?"

"Please follow me." Harding led the way.

The four walked out of the manor, passed through a separation wall, and entered the pasture next to them.

From here, most of the ranch can be seen. Ren looked around and saw that the ranch was divided into multiple areas, and different species were domesticated in each area.

He saw the basalt rhinoceros at a glance, which is the first main soul of Tiewei, with the element of "skin skin" attached; there is also the wind horse, which contains "speed running", which can be used as a secondary soul for many extraordinary people; and Many other herbivorous beasts can be raised free-range, and can cultivate elements in their souls.

Along the way, Ryan saw many farm employees.

Most of them are ordinary people, who are responsible for raising monsters, and there is also a group of superhumans. Most of them are iron guards and gunmen, with a level of one to two. There are a total of more than a dozen guards of the farm.

The overall strength of this farm is not weak.

Ren thought to himself, saying that it was a farm, but it was actually the private arm of the Lyonsell family.

Not long after, everyone entered a huge closed building, the size of the gymnasium in the previous life, and the interior was divided into cages, where hundreds of monsters were domesticated.

These monsters are very aggressive, and they cannot be kept in stock, they can only be locked up.

Ren walked through the passage, observing the creatures in the cages on both sides, the night owl, the ice fang wolf, the Cordius island storm bear, the long-armed mandrill, the dire wolf, the molten lizard, the shulker, and the hexapod Crocodiles... There are 20 or 30 species in total, and it feels like entering a zoo.

He found that not every creature's soul produced elements.

There are no more than half of the creatures with soul elements, and most of them have not yet reached maturity, or their strength is weak; even if they produce elements, most of them only have one element, and very few have two elements.

Moreover, their elements are almost all common elements, and none of them are rare.

As Harding led the way, he introduced the habits of various creatures to Ren, and Driss also let go of his thoughts and inserted a few words from time to time. The atmosphere was not as stiff as before.

When they came to the depths of the farm, a group of magic leopards appeared in front of them.

Harding stopped in his tracks and said, "This is where the magic leopards are domesticated. We have raised three kinds of magic leopards in total, the Frostsaber, the Swordsaber, and the Swift Shadow Thundersaber."

"The magic leopard is a relatively rare beast. After taming, it is a very good mount, and it is also very suitable as a partner for rangers."

"So, we rarely kill the leopard to ingest the demon soul, unless it has multiple elements and can be sold at a higher price."

Ren nodded slightly.

Obviously, the demon soul in his hand was killed because of three elements.

He looked into the iron cages. Each cage had a large space. According to the habits of the three kinds of magic leopards, they were arranged in the environments of pools, forests, and highland cliffs.

Magic leopards are generally solitary creatures, and only temporarily form mates during the estrous period.

At this time, sensing the smell of many strangers outside, the leopards in the entire area became agitated, walking around in the cage restlessly, and roaring at Ren and others.

Among the three kinds of magic leopards, the most powerful is the Xunying Thunder Saber.

Their speed is extremely fast, running in the spacious cage, ordinary people may not even be able to keep up with their eyes, and can only see a blurred shadow.

In Ren's eyes, it couldn't be clearer.

The Xunying Leisaber is not small in size, nearly four meters from head to tail, its shoulders almost reach the chest of an adult, there are lightning-like stripes on its blue-gray fur, its limbs are thick, with sharp claws, and two sides of its palate are long. The downward pointed teeth are like two sharp curved daggers, which can easily tear open the prey's body.

Their eyes light up with lightning from time to time, there is the sound of thunderbolts when they run, and the air is filled with a burnt smell.

"Sure enough, it's the Xunying Thunder Saber, it's so fast!"

Ren sighed in admiration.

He glanced around, and the Thunder Saber here has at least one element, which is "swift", and there are not a few of them, either "sprinting fast" or "lightning reflexes", all of which are agility. elements.

Occasionally, there are one or two Thundersabers, and they also master the spells of the lightning system.

As for the thunder and lightning affinity, I didn't see it.

This made Ren a little disappointed. If a Thundersaber with a lightning affinity was found in the farm, it would save trouble.

Harding led the crowd into a cage and said, "Mr. Ren, that Thundersaber escaped from here."

Behind the cliff-like cave, it was originally sealed with a steel bar as thick as a forearm, but a gap appeared under a stone. The steel bar was scorched black, as if it had been burned by high temperature for a long time, it was twisted and deformed, and then it was directly bitten off.

Ren touched the broken part of the steel bar, and there were signs of melting.

"That Thundersaber did it?"

"Yes." Harding replied: "It is very smart. Every day when the breeder and guards are not around, it uses lightning to attack the steel bar continuously to soften and deform it. It is usually covered with stones for at least two months. They were not found and managed to escape in the end."

Lei Cheng looks out of the gap, where is the wall of the farm, and there is a repaired trace, which was obviously broken by the Thunder Saber Leopard.

Get out of the cage and go around the outside of the wall.

There is a smooth road in front of me, and the fence of the farm is more than ten meters ahead. As long as I continue to move forward for three or four hundred meters, I will enter the mountainous area.

Looking at the forest and steep terrain on the mountain, Ren couldn't help feeling a little headache.

Needless to say, he knew that the Thunder Saber had fled into the mountains.

This is Huilong Mountain, the largest mountainous area around Longshande. It is not considered a mountain range, and its height is only a few hundred meters, but its area is very large. From the map, it is at least thousands of square kilometers. There are no roads and no human habitation. It's a complete no man's land.

It is rumored that a gray dragon appeared in the Gray Dragon Mountain a long time ago, hence the name.

Every forest and mountain is dangerous in Arraneth.

All kinds of ferocious beasts and monsters, as well as messy strange monsters and unknown monsters, can easily kill ordinary people.

Even an extraordinary person may die if he enters the forest rashly without sufficient preparation.

Gray Dragon Mountain is very close to Longshande, with the Duke of Silver Star sitting in town, logically speaking, there will be no particularly scary monsters, and some local transcendents will also organize to go into the mountain to hunt and capture demon souls.

But the area of ​​Huilong Mountain is too large, trying to find a magic leopard is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the Thunder Saber is not necessarily in the mountains.

Ren said disappointedly: "That Thunder Saber escaped into Huilong Mountain the year before last. It's been too long, and it may have fled to other places long ago."

"No, it's still there."

Madeleine pointed in one direction, "We saw it last month, it was on that cliff."

Ren looked at the cliff and asked a little puzzled, "Why doesn't it leave?"

"It should be the estrus period." Harding explained: "The Thundersaber Leopard is not a native species in the empire. They were introduced from the New World. They found different species in the wild. When they are in estrus, they can only return to the farm. nearby, looking for a chance to mate."

"In the past two years, this Thunder Saber has appeared several times." Driss also said.

Ren asked, "Why don't you catch it?"

"I can't catch it." Harding shook his head helplessly, "This Thundersaber has advanced, its speed is very fast, it is like a real lightning, and the mountainous area is the most suitable environment for it, even a high-level shadow fighter Can't catch up, let alone our guards."

"We designed the trap a few times, but it was cunning and never fell for it."

Harding looked at Ren, and said, "Mr. Ren, if you want its demon soul, you have to act quickly. Recently, several groups of extraordinary people seem to have found the trace of this Thundersaber, and they are likely to be killed. Others start first."

Ren nodded in understanding.

A mid-level demon soul is likely to have a lightning affinity and is worth thousands of gold. No matter how difficult it is, the transcendent will do everything possible to kill it.

He thought for a moment, anyway, he had nothing to do, and there was no news from Viola, so he might as well go to Gray Dragon Mountain to try his luck.

This Xunying Thundersaber has both speed and lightning affinity, so it couldn't be more suitable.

Ren didn't hesitate any more, said thank you, and turned to Huilong Mountain.

The three of them were stunned for a moment. Driss looked at Ren's back, gritted his teeth, and said: "Ren, my father asked me to send someone to help you, and Madeleine will go into the mountain with you, she I am very familiar with Huilong Mountain, if you don't want to die, you'd better take her with you."

"Thank you, no need."

Ren waved his hands without looking back, and climbed out of the fence.

His footsteps were fast, and within a few minutes he entered the mountains and disappeared.

Driss cursed bitterly: "Who does he think he is, a junior wizard, who dares to go into the mountain alone, and if he really meets the Thunder Saber, he probably doesn't even know how he died."

"This Mr. Wren doesn't seem like such a reckless person." Harding disagreed, and said, "He should have his own way."

"He's strong, very strong!"

Madeleine also nodded in agreement. During the brief contact just now, Ren left a deep impression on her.

Her perception was very keen, and she sensed an extremely dangerous aura in Ren, and her intuition told her that this was a terrible opponent, not as simple as a junior wizard.

Driston was a little embarrassed at the moment, but he couldn't blame the two, so he could only go back and sulk.
