174. Northern Base, departure
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Guangyuan gathered all the slaves in the Hundred Beasts Garden and announced in public that Xia Gui was leaving.
As soon as the news was announced, the slaves exploded and there was an uproar. Especially Cao Ming, looking at Xia Gui with wide eyes, he didn't expect that this young man promised to teach him martial arts a few days ago and ordered him to follow him, but he didn't expect that he would leave today. Obviously, this matter was premeditated for a few days, but Xia Gui kept it a secret.
The slaves stared wide-eyed, you look at me, I look at you, as if they wanted to see if anyone knew the news in advance. But this matter is impenetrable, and even their leader Cao Ming has a confused look.
"Why?" Although Cao Ming knew that it was not appropriate to ask questions on this occasion, he still couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Guangyuan glanced at Xia Gui, "You can explain it yourself." ”
Xia Gui had no choice but to reply: "I'll go to the northern base to study for a while." ”
"Learn what?"
"There doesn't seem to be anyone more powerful out there who can teach you!"
The mood of the masses was agitated again.
"Brother Turtle, will you come back?" Cao Ming asked.
Xia Guifei replied: "We will definitely meet again one day." ”
Jiang Guangyuan raised his hand and pressed it down twice, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"After the turtle leaves, the affairs of the Hundred Beasts Garden will be handed over to No. 63. Sixty-three, can you take over?" Jiang Guangyuan asked Cao Ming.
Cao Ming hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Small...... Willing to give it a try. ”
Jiang Guangyuan's eyes fell on Cao Ming, and he was surprised to find that this young man seemed to be stronger and more capable than before, and he didn't know if it was his own delusion, the kind of temperament that spread out of Cao Ming's body seemed to have become more and more trustworthy.
Not only Cao Ming, but the other slaves also stood tall and strong, and they all seemed to have changed.
"Hey, you ......"
Jiang Guangyuan was a little surprised, could it be that Ah Turtle did it again? Of course, it could only be trained by Ah Turtle, and Cao Ming and the others were not cultivators, so they couldn't train themselves.
Was it because he was leaving, and he didn't want to leave a mess for himself, so he trained these slaves all over again?
I have to say that it can produce results in just a few days, and this kid really has a set.
Jiang Guangyuan was suddenly a little moved, could it be that he had misunderstood this kid? Such a highly responsible person, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for him to be a bastard with a desire for profit.
Jiang Guangyuan's eyes squinted at Xia Gui, as if he wanted to find some clues from Xia Gui, but Xia Gui just stood upright, staring indifferently ahead, as if he hadn't done all this.
"Okay. Jiang Guangyuan sighed helplessly, "Before leaving, do a good job of handing over the work." ”
"Yes, Lady Jiang. "Xia Gui's head.
After Jiang Guangyuan left, Xia Gui pulled Cao Ming to a no-man's land.
"From now on, the Garden of Beasts will depend on you. Xia Guidao.
Cao Ming scratched his head, the previous shock had been calmed down, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, "Why do you want to leave here, Brother Turtle?"
Xia Gui didn't answer, he just quietly took out a bamboo slip from his shirt and handed it to Cao Ming.
"This is the ground-level martial art of the Southern Wilderness Country, I have learned it before, and last night I decomposed the movements and drew them on the bamboo slips, and added detailed standards in some difficult places, I believe you can understand it. After I leave, don't let up on your workout. After you practice, you teach it to them. Xia Guidao.
Cao Ming opened this bamboo slip and saw that the clear handwriting on it was still fresh, and it seemed to have been written with a pen overnight, so he couldn't help but tremble with his hands, and said in a lost voice: "Lord Turtle!"
Xia Gui smiled slightly, "Regarding cultivation, I know that you can't sit still, but you still have to calm down and practice slowly." When I come back, I'll check your cultivation realm. ”
"Have you decided a long time ago that you are going to go, so you have been training us desperately these days?" Cao Ming blurted out.
Xia Gui just smiled faintly and didn't answer his question directly.
"Cultivate well, and when I come back to you, I hope you have practiced well. ”
After all the things were explained, Xia Gui could finally return to his place of residence with peace of mind.
It was in a small wooden house - since he was promoted to a domestic servant, he also had his own clean and tidy wooden house, looking at the neatly arranged tables and stools in the house, Xia Gui couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect to move out after only half a month.
However, in Xia Gui's view, all partings are just for reunion.
He straightened his mood and began to pack up the softness, there were not many things, a few clothes, some bottles and cans, and soon entered the package.
In the afternoon, a horse-drawn cart stopped at the door of the cabin, and the servants who had come from the northern base to pick up Xia Gui arrived.
"Lord Kame, Lord Gu Li ordered me to pick you up. Are you ready?" said the servant, with a flattering smile.
"Ready. Xia Gui replied dryly.
The servant said, "This time I went to the northern base, and it would be difficult to come back. Is there anyone else to say goodbye to?"
Hearing this, Xia Gui also smiled, "When I say this, it's like I'm going to the execution ground." ”
The servant said: "Lord Gu Li's experiments are very important, and you are the steward of the blue area, so you must be entangled in affairs and extremely busy, and it is not easy to come back." So small, ask you beforehand. ”
Xia Gui thought about it, did he have anyone to say goodbye to?
Jiang Guangyuan, A Rong, A Biao, Cao Ming, important people have all said goodbye......
No, there seems to be another ......
Xia Gui's mind suddenly flashed the figure of a cold woman in white.
Xia Gui was a little surprised, why did he think of Mi Xuefu. However, this little girl has an indifferent personality, and she shouldn't care where she goes, not to mention that her current identity is very different from her.
Last time, Tuo Ziluo thanked her with words, but there seemed to be no response.
Xia Gui hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "No, let's go." ”
......
The carriage staggered across the moor.
The coachman and Xia Gui didn't say anything all the way.
Xia Gui sat on the cart, looking at the endless wasteland, and his mood was extremely complicated.
The early autumn wind on the prairie was already bitterly cold, blowing on the body and face, and there was a stiff cold. This made Xia Gui recall the night when he first entered Jiuhou Villa, it was the end of spring, and it was expected to be cold.
Before I knew it, I had spent more than four months in Jiuhou Villa. From the young and ignorant when he first entered the manor, to the current capable and profound, he has experienced a lot along the way. One-star missions, two-star missions, three-star missions, and even four-star missions, he calmly completed every difficult challenge, although he did not have the opportunity to contact the five-star mission, but he knew that at present, he was carrying the mission of saving people and infiltrated the devil's cave, and the difficulty was comparable to that of a five-star mission.
As for the rewards?
Xia Gui didn't think about it so much, as long as he could rescue Wodin, it would be the biggest reward.
Two hours later.
A huge black fortress appeared in front of me.
It was like a huge monster with its mouth closed, sitting and lying on the boundless savannah. If you look closely, the fortress is actually a cavern formed by hollowing out the mountain, and there is a stone door at the entrance of the cave, like the closed mouth of a monster.
It's a deserted and secret base.
There was a dead silence outside the stone gate, and there was an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
"My lord, it's here. The coachman said.
"Thank you. Xia Gui jumped off the cart.
The coachman walked to the stone gate and took out a round wooden seal from his coat pocket, but saw that the seal was carved with a pale green totem with a faint blue-green luster.
Xia Gui was also shocked when he saw this seal, this was actually a third-order formation.
Next to the stone door is also carved a circular totem, which is similar in size to this wooden seal, and looks like a set. The coachman pressed the round wooden medallion on the totem, and both totems emitted a strange luster, as if they had been successfully matched.
Then, with a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly opened.
Xia Gui was also stunned, it turned out that their access card was actually a third-order formation!
The coachman looked back and smiled, "My lord, this is a pass. Our northern base is an absolutely secret place, and anyone can only enter and exit with this pass. ”
"I see. Xia Gui smiled.
The coachman said: "This in my hand is just a minimum access pass, and I can enter the periphery of the base." There are other checkpoints in this base, and you must use a higher-level pass to enter and exit freely. For example, for example, the experimenter's pass is a fourth-order formation, which can enter and exit the corresponding experimental room. ”
"That's amazing. Xia Gui smiled.
The coachman said, "My lord, you are the steward of the blue zone, and your pass level will definitely be higher." ”
The stone door opened, and what appeared in front of Xia Gui's eyes was a dark road. There are candles lit on both sides of the road, and a gust of wind blows, and the candles are swaying, which is actually a bit of a terrifying atmosphere.
Although standing outside the stone gate, Xia Gui had already felt a faint bloody aura wafting out from within the corridor. The feeling is disgusting.
"Is it all so dark inside?" Xia Gui asked.
The coachman smiled and shook his head, "No, some places are very bright. ”
Follow the coachman into the gloomy cavern, and after about fifty meters, his vision suddenly clears up.
At the end of the corridor is an open circular hall. Around the edge of this circular hall, seven or eight long corridors protrude from it, like the tentacles of an octopus. Flickering candles light on both sides of each corridor, leading to the darkness of the unknown.
Only then did Xia Gui realize that this circular hall was a terminus, where all the corridors would converge, and finally he could go to the outside world through this place.
In short, it can be called the "hall".
The smell of blood and resentment that Xia Gui felt were superimposed at the intersection of these countless roads, and they became extremely strong. He couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, what kind of abyss did those seven or eight bottomless darkness lead to?
Just as Xia was bored, from the depths of one of the corridors, there was a creepy howl of pain. In the depths of this dark and unknown abyss, it seems that someone is suffering terribly.
This scream made Xia Gui's cold hair stand up, he shivered, and his emotions had just calmed down, who knew that it was a scream of "uh-ah" again, and the end of this scream turned into a terrible cry.
The sound was supposed to have been made by a man, and because the pain was so severe, the end was so long and elevated that it was like an echo from hell.
Seeing Xia Gui's palpitating expression, the coachman smiled, "My lord, you have to get used to it." In our place, there are often all kinds of voices...... Sometimes, some experimental objects rush out of it, and the scene is even more terrifying. ”
"Okay......"
Xia Gui's face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Hehehe...... Has our little genius come to report?" From the far left of the corridor came a hearty laugh, and at the sound of this laughter, the coachman immediately bowed respectfully and stood up, with a flattering look on his face.
Gu Li is here.
