Chapter 114: Investigation (I)
Zephyr.
This is a snowy city located in the collagen of the permafrost.
The permafrost collagen is cold all year round, and the land here is hard, making it difficult for plants and trees to grow. However, there are still some strong plants that survive here and become the source of life for everything in the permafrost.
Ice grass, the dominant plant of permafrost collagen, is one of the few vegetation that can grow and grow well in permafrost collagen, adding a touch of green to this eternal land covered with ice and snow, and bringing life to various ice creatures.
It is the food of snow rabbits, white beavers and ice rats, the latter of which is the food source of snow eagles and snow wolves, of which snow wolves and gum fish are food for ice bears, and at the top of the food chain are still the sapient life. Whether it's Ice Heart Grass, Snow Hare, Snow Wolf or Ice Bear, it's all their food.
However, the total amount of collagen in the frozen soil is limited, and no amount of collagen organisms can satisfy the huge appetite of the mobs.
This is true not only of permafrost collagen, but also of the Havel savannah, the Halma jungle, and the blood-colored wasteland.
The north is so barren that even the monsters don't want to live here.
The mobs claim to be tough and invincible, but there is an irrefutable fact that the north is a penal colony for the losers.
Only losers live here.
Therefore, the toughness, bravery, and fearlessness of the mobs cannot hide a pale truth: they are losers.
Again and again, they attacked the prosperous lands of the south, but failed again and again. Not only that, but they also have to defend against the invasion of the central beast clan and the poaching of the northwest spirit clan......
Zephyr City is one such city located in the west of the central north, facing the dual pressure of the spirit and beast clans at the same time.
It is an important town of the mob in the central and northern regions, and the defense is also extremely tight.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Red Eagle tribe of the Rioters.
The Red Eagle Tribe has had its share of glory times in history.
Three thousand years after the Rebellion of Fort GΓΌran, in the 7,900th year of the Nova Era, Sharna Red Eagle killed Uhtred Slaughter Axe and declared herself the new queen of the mob, much to the disapproval of the tribes. Led by Sharna Red Hawk, the Red Eagle Tribe launched the Second War of Unification.
The unification war, which lasted for 3,000 years, caused the Red Eagle tribe to be unprecedentedly strong, but it was the weakest moment for the mob tribe. If it weren't for the fact that the Radiant Divine Dynasty had gone downhill at that time, it was entirely possible that the Iron-Blooded Realm would have been destroyed by taking the opportunity.
Three thousand years of conquest failed to allow the Red Eagle Tribe to complete the influence of unifying the iron-blooded realm, but instead led to the fate of its own destruction.
In the eleventh thousand years of the Nova Era, in the face of the alliance of various tribes, the Red Eagle tribe was finally defeated, and Bobet Red Eagle died in the battle of Gulan Castle, announcing the end of the rule of the Red Eagle for three thousand years, and the once powerful Red Eagle tribe also went to extinction.
Today, the Red Eagle Tribe is no longer the powerful Red Eagle of the past, they are just a down-and-out tribe that survives in the border towns, indulging in the glory and glory of the past, and unable to rise again.
At dawn, Su Shen came to Zephyr City.
Looking up at the dark clouds coiling overhead, Su shrunk his neck and walked towards the city.
Along the way, you can still vaguely see sporadic bloodstains, cold and frozen everything, and also frozen the battle not long ago, even if half a month has passed, Su Shen can still see the traces left by that battle.
Crumbling walls, broken houses, and roads that have been plowed into deep ditches are all a testament to the tragedy that once took place here.
Half a month ago, the Tianwei Army attacked here, looting a lot of resources while also taking the lives of more than a thousand thugs.
And the reason why Su Shen appeared here was to verify the conjecture in his heart.
Walking through the deserted streets, Su Shen came to a wooden house. Judging by the signboard hanging from the wooden house, this should be your destination.
Pushing the door in, Su Shen saw an old thug sitting there bored.
Su Shen stepped forward and said, "Hey, old man, are there any gophers, you can bring me some." β
The so-called gopher, that is, the collagen snow mouse, this small life burrowing is a good hand, living in the collagen frozen underground, relying on the grass roots of the ice grass to make a living.
Snow rats have a fatty meat and are a pretty good ration. When food is scarce, the mob often dig snow rats for food. Even in an era when there was less food shortage, the mob would consciously raise some snow rats for the famine year. It can be said that raising snow rats is a big industry of permafrost collagen.
However, the old man at this moment obviously had no intention of doing business at all, and he said without raising his head: "No, it's all robbed." β
"Snatched?" asked Su Shen.
"Yes, by the damned Terrans. Half a month ago, they ransacked this place and snatched all the snow rats. β
"It looks like they're short of food. Su Shen said.
"Shit, why don't you grab Xinmu's granary when you're short of food? There's more food there. β
"Maybe they don't know, maybe they love meat more. Su Shen replied seemingly casually: "By the way, I want to buy some marble powder, do you know where to sell it?"
"No, all the Yun Shi San has been snatched up by those damned Terrans. The old man replied.
Su Shen looked puzzled: "What are they robbing that for?"
"Who knows. The old man shrugged: "They robbed everything they could, food, medicines, and even metal." You won't know what they're trying to do. They may be just venting and sabotage. β
Only the mob will simply destroy, Su Shen slandered in his heart.
Still, he said, "Well, it looks like I'm not going to get anything out of here." β
Su Shen, who got the information he wanted, left the store, and he didn't leave there, but continued to go straight along the road.
The ruined towns still bear the scars of that battle, and the fact that the mobs, who have little awareness of hygiene and town building, know how to clean up the corpses is a huge intellectual improvement. Because of this, even after many days, Su Shen can still see a large number of relics of the past battle.
These ruins fell into his eyes, and they turned into scenes of battle.
Su Shen seemed to see the soldiers of the Tianwei Army rushing into the town, killing and plundering the supplies he needed.
"Snow squirrels, marble scatters, wood, kernels...... Sure enough, everything is moving in the direction he judged?" the corners of Su Shen's mouth pursed slightly, he knew that he had already felt the pulse of the Tianwei Army.
Then he just needs to go to another place and make a final confirmation.
The last place to go is a jungle outside Zephyr.
A special kind of tree grows here - the yellow dragon wood.
Huanglongwood is a very rare wood, it has a very strong source conductivity, which is not surprising, there are too many materials with excellent source conductivity, but the source conductivity of Huanglongwood is somewhat unique.
Because its source conductivity is of the soil nature.
As a kind of tree, it has the source conductivity of the soil system, which is its biggest wonder, and it also makes Huanglongmu one of the rare external resources of permafrost collagen.
But now, this Huanglong Forest has been burned to the ground.
In front of the Yellow Dragon Forest in the north of Zefeng City, Su Shen looked at the scorched earth all over the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
After seeing the situation of this Huanglong Forest, Su Shen finally confirmed his guess.
But just as he was about to leave, he saw a group of thugs approaching in the distance.
