Chapter 11 Maps

Ying Ruoyan felt that she must have been too tired recently, and she couldn't sleep well and was in poor spirits, so she might have hallucinations.

Otherwise, how can it be explained that in the dim red morning sun that is not very popular, Fang Ran, who walked majestically and high-spiritedly, and Zhong Mingtai, who was three steps behind him and obviously held a subordinate status, and his night patrol team?

Yes, Fang Ran brought out a few fragments of the Broken Talisman. These fragments of the severance talisman are of great significance to Huangchen.

However, Zhong Mingtai has been dissatisfied with Fang Ran's inaction for a long time. Fang Ran's attitude when he returned yesterday, and his performance before the night patrol left, perfectly illustrate this point.

How can a preconceived notion that has accumulated over the years be reversed overnight?

Seeing Fang Ran's fragments of the severance talisman last night, Ying Ruoyan's mood was turbulent, and it was not easy to calm down. When she woke up, she faintly had some fears - if Fang Ran provoked Zhong Mingtai, in the wilderness, who could punch Fang Ran next with anger?

Her thoughts didn't last long.

The heavy fog cleared, and the group of six people got closer and closer to the camp.

Only then did Ying Ruoyan see clearly that Zhong Mingtai and the night patrol team were almost all injured, and the injuries were definitely not light!

The rough armor of several people was already broken, and they could no longer see their original appearance at this time, and a few hemp ropes were barely connected to the guard board, hanging on their bodies and dangling, looking crumbling.

Under the tattered armor, their underwear was stained with blood, and the clothes were covered with sword slash marks, and under the tattered clothes, wounds were exposed, and even the white bones under the bottom could be seen in some places, looking extremely embarrassed and miserable.

"Come on, help the night patrol team go back to heal!" Seeing this, Ying Ruoyan's heart tightened, and he exclaimed in surprise, and rushed out of the camp first.

The night patrol team is the elite of the battalion, and they are still seriously injured, so what about Fang Ran? If something goes wrong with Fang Ran, how can she explain to Fang Qingyu? Fang Ran, but she has almost no ability to protect herself!

Rushing out a few steps, the shadow was like smoke but froze in place.

What you see...... There seems to be a hint of weirdness.

The night patrol team looked seriously injured, but the four of them supported each other, talking and laughing, with a relaxed face. When they saw the shadow, they even had the strength to arch their hands, and greeted them unevenly: "I've seen the shadow manager." โ€

Zhong Mingtai, who should have been full of anger in his expectations, but his face was calm, which was his expression that had been extremely present in the past few days.

He looked at Fang Ran's back at first, and saw Ying Ruoyan coming from a distance, so he raised his head and nodded at her, which was regarded as a greeting.

Ying Ruoyan couldn't be mistaken, Zhong Mingtai looked at Fang Ran's eyes, and reminded her of the expression on his sworn allegiance to Fang Qingyu back then.

Fang Ran was neatly dressed and dusty, and waved his hand with a smile: "It's early." โ€

What is this name? Ying Ruoyan couldn't get angry for a while, but asked eagerly: "Have you gone out to meet the enemy?" Fortunately, the night patrol team usually doesn't go far, and it seems that they still have time to rush to rescue you......

"Nope. It was the young master who saved us. Zhong Mingtai whispered.

"What?" Ying Ruoyan thought she must have woken up yet.

"We met the people of the Yongan Duan clan and were almost wiped out by them...... It was the young master who arrived in time and saved us. Zhong Mingtai's tone was unquestionable, but what he said made Ying Ruoyan feel that he was joking.

At this time, the companion in charge of the camp also rushed over. They also heard Zhong Mingtai's words, and together with Ying Ruoyan, they all stood on the spot.

For a while, under the rising sun, more than a dozen people were as quiet as wooden stakes, a little embarrassing.

Fang Ran still broke the silence: "Don't stay, help everyone in to heal first." โ€

When people are shocked by the facts, they will temporarily lose the ability to think, and if someone stands up to preside over the situation, most people will listen without thinking.

Hearing Fang Ran's order, the bewildered responders mechanically grabbed the night patrol team and were about to help them back.

The night patrol team stood still, gently blocked the outstretched hand of his companion, saluted Fang Ran with a fist, and said in unison: "Please allow your subordinates to retire!"

Fang Ran seemed a little surprised, and returned a salute awkwardly: "yours...... No, you can go without worry...... Neither is it right...... Anyway, let's go back to sleep first. โ€

"Yes. โ€

"I'm going to get some sleep too. Went first. Zhong Mingtai also saluted Fang Ran and left.

Ying Ruoyan's beautiful eyes widened, and she watched the night patrol team return to the camp without saying a word, then turned to Fang Ran and said with a hint of threat: "You'd better explain it to me." โ€

"Hey, hey, hey, hey. โ€

Later that day, the large tent in the middle of the camp was used as a makeshift council chamber, crowded into almost all the top echelons of the chamber.

This was originally supposed to be a two-story small building, quite large-scale, specially used for the high-level negotiation and resolution of the Huangchen Chamber of Commerce, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, map and sand table, it was decent, and a serious war finger should have it. It is the belongings that the Huangchen Chamber of Commerce has accumulated bit by bit over the years, and it has accompanied the entire expansion and growth of Huangchen.

However, with the raid of the Heavenly Thunder Gate, all these things were destroyed in that battle.

The small building in the past, now only the foundation is barely intact, the structure of the building has long been devastated, and even the possibility of repair no longer exists, so it was simply demolished and a big tent was built.

There was a long table in the middle of the big tent, on which was placed a large leather scroll and pen and ink, and Fang Ran was sitting at one end of the long table, writing and drawing on it. At the other end of the long table, a pile of fragments of the Broken Charm was neatly stacked.

Zhong Mingtai stood on Fang Ran's right hand. He had regained his senses, crossed his arms, and looked at the leather scroll in silence with his head down.

Ying Ruoyan stood on Fang Ran's left hand, but her eyes were not as indifferent as Zhong Mingtai's.

Fang Ran seemed to be scribbling, but Ying Ruoyan could see that this was a general map of the terrain around the Huangchen camp.

Arajin had spent a great deal of effort to draw a map that marked a large number of shortcuts, power distributions, and mines.

The map was burned in the attack.

The information on the map is complicated, and the people involved have some memories in their minds, but after all, the manpower is limited, and it is extremely difficult to completely restore it. Moreover, there are endless dangers in the wilderness of Yuanmo, and only the impression is restored, and the slightest deviation means that someone will have to pay the price of their lives.

Under Fang Ran's letter, the terrain is exactly the same. On this basis, some relevant information can be recovered with a little research.

Ying Ruoyan looked at Fang Ran, and her heart was full of disbelief - could it be that the memory of the little boy was so good that he could never forget it? The whole map of this picture covers a radius of five hundred miles, although not all of what Fang Ran painted, but at least the dozens of miles around Huangchen are extremely accurate, this is something that the human brain can remember?

...... Well, Fang Ran has already brought unexpected surprises, so this time, wait and see.

Of course, this is not something that the human brain can remember.

A few days ago, he escaped, and when he returned, he deliberately climbed high and looked far away, coupled with the careful exploration last night, based on this information, he had established a complete and accurate model of the surrounding terrain, and he had deduced it several times in the Tianji Roulette. At this point, all he did was draw the model on a leather scroll, and there was no difficulty.

When all the high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce gathered in, Fang Ran just finished drawing the last few details.

He stood up, rubbed his shoulders, and beckoned Zhong Mingtai to say, "Come, hang up the map." โ€

Zhong Mingtai took the order.

At this time, his burly figure was put to great use, and with his arms far wider than ordinary people, he raised his hand and shook it, and the map was hung on the shelves that had already been prepared on the inside of the large tent in the council chamber.

"The previous one was destroyed, so I drew a new one. The terrain is not as vast as before, but the accuracy of the radius of a hundred miles is still certain. I still have to ask you to help replenish the resources and so on. It doesn't have to be too far, just within the range where the fragment of the Broken Charm can support our activities right now. I did the math, and it was probably bounded by Bijia Mountain, Black Wood Forest, Hongya, and Kudu. โ€

Fang Ran pointed out these four locations as he spoke, and then drew a circle with his hand, just enclosing Huangchen's current camp in the center.

already knew that Fang Ran had brought back the fragment of the Broken Talisman, and there was even a night patrol team that added fuel and vinegar, and blew about last night's reversal battle, plus Zhong Mingtai actually nodded and acquiesced, so even though Xiao Gongzi had not been able to leave a good impression on everyone over the years, these high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce also paid enough attention to Fang Ran.

In the big tent, the position where Ying Ruoyan and Zhong Mingtai are standing also shows from another angle that this incompetent little boy in the past must still have some killer weapon to subdue the two core of Huangchen at this juncture.

As Fang Ran hung up the map, everyone was uncontrollably shocked in their hearts.

What did Asakami rely on to gain a foothold in the Abyssal Field?

Some people say that it is Fang Qingyu's unborn leadership and personal charm, and some people say that it is because there are three strong people who have stepped into three steps.

But only these chamber of commerce executives know that what supports Huangchen is a map.

Arachen has a more comprehensive topographic map of the Abyss Silent Realm than any other power, and the drawings are marked with every detail, including any information anyone can think ofโ€”from the undulating terrain to the frequency of spiritual storms in one placeโ€”not to mention the ore production. Underneath these meticulous markings, there were several relatively calm paths hidden by the Spirit Storm, which were enough to allow the Wastestar Chamber of Commerce to reach several key transit nodes and resource-rich places with the least amount of severance fragments.

This is Arachen's most important secret, but it has also become a lifeline to bind Arachen in this sudden attack.

The map was suddenly destroyed, and no one had time to memorize the entire map. In this way, Huangchen has become an isolated island, and it can only be refilled with huge resources, even human lives, and then regain these lost shortcuts.

This is Yuan Mo, if you take a wrong step in the wilderness, you will really die.

Whether it is resources or human lives, with the current mess of Huangchen, it can't be supported.

This is also where Fang Ran couldn't help but complain after knowing - you don't have a disaster recovery backup for such an important thing? A map is unique, and it is not properly preserved, should you say that your heart is too big or your path is too wild......

In front of everyone, the map drawn by Fang Ran was almost exactly the same as what they remembered.
