Chapter 41: The Alien Mind of the Criminals
Beyond the Underground Ruins.
Everyone in Qianlong Yuan was concentrated on the peak of Tianchang Mountain, and the Yandao Organization also followed up the mountain, but only stayed halfway up the mountain to camp and set up, which can be regarded as cooperation between the two sides to prevent any third-party forces from entering.
It's just that the leaders of the two major organizations who can issue orders have entered the former Qing Ancestral Land, although they will not be in a mess without a leader, but they are inevitably a little wary and worried about each other, so they camp at a distance of nearly 100 meters.
At night in Suifenhe City, the temperature on the summit and mountainside of Tianchang Mountain is as low as more than 20 degrees below zero. Fortunately, the people present from the two major organizations were all cultivators who were at least mid-grade or above, and with their high-tech mountaineering clothes, tents, and roaring open-air bonfires, they didn't feel much of a struggle with their strength.
It was already dark at night, and the two major organizations at the summit and the mountainside began to take turns to rest. Except for some practitioners who are on duty at night, most of them are in makeshift tents or meditating or going straight to sleep, ready to maintain their physical strength at all times.
Even if the "criminal soldiers" have been completely subdued by Boss Win, and the "Yandao" has formed a temporary alliance with Qianlong Yuan, the other forces in Suifenhe City are just small organizations and insignificant...... But it never hurts to be cautious.
In the history of the world of cultivators, it is almost not uncommon for the ship to capsize due to carelessness.
Tianchang Mountain is not a serious tourist attraction, especially in this cold winter.
The Suifenhe municipal government has not invested much money here, and there is not even half a street light on a small road. In the first days of heavy snowfall, the moon was blocked out of thick clouds, and the whole area was almost dark.
On the northern slope of the mountain, where more than a meter of snow is covered from the foot of the mountain to the peak, several figures dressed in white clothes that almost blend with the entire world are quietly climbing towards the top of Tianchang Mountain.
These people are all tall and strong, and the one led by them is a giant man who is more than two meters tall. It's just that in this whole white and vast world, it still seems extremely small.
Although the warriors of the "Hidden Dragon Yuan" on the summit took turns to be on duty, occasionally using tens of thousands of lumens of powerful searchlights to shine and search, they were never able to find the few "small" figures wriggling forward in the snow.
If you can get closer to more than ten meters, you can find a total of six people in the group, all of whom are tall super strong men. And every time the searchlight installed on the cliff by the "Qianlong Yuan" swept by, the six people stopped and half-squatted into the snowdrift more than one meter thick, looking extremely cautious.
"Torturers", I wish you famine!
and one of his witch masters, four high-grade wizard masters.
Originally, they reached an agreement with Ying Xingtian that as long as the "Hidden Dragon Yuan" was located, the "criminal soldiers" would always retreat, but they actually took advantage of the night and thick snow to cover them and touched the peak of Tianchang Mountain, where heavy troops gathered.
There was no road on the northern slope of the mountain, and the speed of the six people who climbed up along the gap in the dense pine needle forest was not fast, and in addition to the fact that they had to squat down from time to time to avoid the headlights shining on the peak, it took more than 40 minutes to climb from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain.
In the snow, Zhu Huang, who was bowing forward, suddenly stopped and made a gesture with a fist in midair. The five people behind also stopped in unison and looked up at the front.
"Winning Xingtian's breath is not on it. The former sensed it for a moment, and there was a hint of relaxation on his face: "No one except him should be able to sense our breath...... Hey, the people of the 'Yan Dao' are here, why is that gloomy Ji Daoyan not here, and he also went into the ruins with the 'Hidden Dragon Yuan'?"
"It's very likely that now the group of bulls in 'Yandao' are very close to the guys in 'Qianlong Yuan', and they are so angry that they are almost wearing a pair of pants. The also tall Witch Dao Sect Master beside him snorted coldly, his face full of disapproval: "I thought that there would be meat to eat with the 'Hidden Dragon Yuan', but when the time comes, I will be gnawed until I can't even have a bone left." ”
"In the thousands of years of history of the cultivator world, haven't they learned any lessons from the 'Yan Dao'?"
Zhu Huang waved his hand: "There is no need to mention the old things from thousands of years ago, and the 'Qianlong Yuan' at the beginning and the organization we are facing now are not exactly the same thing. This trip is dangerous, everyone should be careful...... Since Ying Xingtian is not there, as long as I reach the peak of this Tianchang Mountain, I am seventy percent sure that I will rush into the underground ruins. As for whether we can get caught in the fire after entering it, it depends on our 'criminal soldiers' to create it. ”
"If you lose in the afternoon, if you don't get back to the field this time...... I'm afraid that there will never be a place for us 'torturers' in the entire Huaxia cultivator world anymore. Another Witch Dao Grandmaster grabbed a piece of white snow with his hand, pinched it into a hard spherical body, and then exerted a slight force, directly crushing it into countless ice slags with terrifying force.
——As a Witch Dao Grandmaster, even in the normal state of not inviting the ancestral witch to the upper body, he has a strong power that is not inferior to ordinary low-grade martial artists.
Zhu Huang glanced sideways at him and didn't say anything.
……
……
Hoi Nyeong.
Hoi Nyeong ......
Niu Qixiong stood less than ten meters away from the other party, looking at the strange man in front of him who was obviously dressed as a Qing Dynasty general, and only felt that the more he asked for more clues, the more the truth was shrouded in layers of fog.
Is it really the capital of the Jin Dynasty that was originally called "reaching the Songhua River in the north, wading through the Lalin River in the west, reaching the Changbai Mountain in the south, and reaching the Shuketu River basin in the east", and now the "Huining Mansion" near Harbin City?
The so-called "former Qing ancestral land" in your own guess should be the "former Jin ancestral land"?
His mind turned slightly, and he quickly dispelled this speculation - just along the way, although most of the buildings in the city were full of Chinese characters, there were occasionally Manchu characters with familiar curved arcs, and in any case it could not be the capital of Liaojin five hundred years earlier than the Qing Dynasty.
But why does the name of Huining appear in this person's mouth?
After the battle general in front of him said the word "Huining", he seemed to fall into a state of confusion again, and there was no sharp gaze in his eagle-like eyes with a slight yellowish yellow, just staring straight ahead—as if he was letting go and as if his brain had been hurt by the terrible explosion just now, and his face was full of stupid expressions.
Niu Shuxiong sighed, knowing that he wanted to ask more clues about his identity and the mysteries of the city in front of him from the mouth of the top grandmaster who wanted to crawl out of the "grave bag" in front of him, so he turned his attention to the other environments around him:
After the explosion, there were only a few houses left in the entire slum area, except for the ash and rubble on the ground.
But when he looked at it, he found something peculiar-
Around the ruins within a radius of several hundred meters, the buildings that are still standing have been somewhat affected by the aftermath of the impact, the roof tiles are broken, and the walls are loose, all of which are crumbling. But just north and west of the explosion near where the two men were, there was a low-rise building standing steadily.
The walls are intact and the window tiles are not broken in the slightest.
The whole building even looks indescribably "solid", as if it has always existed since ancient times, and is not exposed to any wind and sun in the rainforest...... I couldn't be hurt by that terrible explosion.
Niu Shuxiong hesitated slightly, and then tentatively called the general in front of him who was in a state of distraction a few times, and saw that the latter did not react before turning around and walking towards the low building.
However, he did not notice that the sky about a kilometer or two away from the center of the explosion lit up with a few different colors.
……
……
Ji Yiming, Ying Xingtian and the others stopped two kilometers away from the center of the explosion.
Although he had made up his mind to fight a top-notch grandmaster battle with the "Yin Evil Anode Snake" against the other party, in the face of the unknown existence ahead, no matter how careful he was, it was not too careful.
In particular, the sudden appearance of the marks left by the ox for no apparent reason was even more surprising to the surprise of the people, and the hearts were full of suspicions—judging from the scratches and the relative completeness, the old cow should have been in an extremely hurried situation when these marks were laid down. And with the consistent personality of the head of the logistics department and the chief butler of "Qianlong Yuan", he rarely puts himself in such an embarrassing situation.
So, is the old cow in danger?
Everyone looked at Ying Xingtian who was standing at the front, and their expressions ranged from worried to nervous.
The latter stared at the iconic mark of "Hidden Dragon Abyss" on the ground all the way to the area where the explosion came for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Ji Yiming again, with a hint of obvious inquiry in his eyes.
Ji Yiming shook his head lightly without moving.
Ying Xingtian sighed slightly, and finally didn't say the words of persuasion, turned around and walked forward along the mark left by Niu Qixiong. The group of ten people in the back immediately followed, and even Yu Zhenzhen, a guy who looked almost in shape, was tense and breathing, ready to shoot at any time.
(Did the top grandmaster in front really exist hundreds of years ago hidden in the ruins of the former Qing Ancestral Land?)
(At the beginning, in the ancient kiln city at the bottom of Shanglin Lake, there was Sima Yan, the king of Langya, whose strength was close to that of a top martial arts master, and Du Lingyang, who was able to transfer the Gu Array of the Yanyan Ancestors...... Now that there is a top Grandmaster Realm here, when did the so-called top realm that is overwhelming the world and one of the few in the past few years in the mouth of Brother Ou Haichao become a cabbage that can be seen everywhere? )
With all sorts of thoughts swirling in his mind, he walked silently at the back of the line without saying anything.
Only the magical spiritual sense from the "Taiyi Immortal Formula" continued to extend towards the center of the explosion in front of it in a mercury-like manner.
Silence, desolation...... Nothing in the truest sense of the word.
It's not just that there are no people, there are no buildings. Even snakes, insects, rats and ants in the normal environment are nowhere to be seen.
Under the bluestone slab-paved ground, Ji Yiming sensed a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ant corpses that were crushed into meat by the blast wave - in the entire space with a diameter of hundreds of meters, it was a real "nothing".
The earth-shattering explosion just now is a testament to its power.
