Chapter 37: The Base Camp

On the vast prairie, as far as the eye can see, occasionally a few big trees appear, like a benchmark for guiding the way, standing on this prairie.

A gust of wind blew, and apart from the green waves and startled small animals, only the traces of horses' hooves that stretched far away on the ground could be eye-catching.

Ling Yao and the three of them were covered in dust and tired, they couldn't remember how far they had walked, and they couldn't remember how many villages and towns they had passed.

They only knew that they had been running on this prairie for three days and three nights in the direction of the teacher, and they had not yet reached the end, and if it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of their predecessors on the ground, they would even wonder if they had entered another world, a world of grass with only grass and nothing else.

They hadn't spoken for a long time, not because they didn't want to speak, but because they had been on the road and had a dry mouth and no desire to speak.

Ling Yao took a deep breath, stretched his waist and shook his spirits, breaking the silence for a long time: "Look at the traces on this ground are relatively deep, there should be many people who have stepped through here to leave such deep imprints. ”

Jin Teng nodded and said, "Well, there should be a lot of people who are ahead of us, maybe they have gathered in the Beiling Mountain Range at this moment." ”

King Zhou frowned: "How far is it to get out of this grassland, I'm a little irritable." ”

Ling Yao encouraged, "It should be ...... Come on. ”

In fact, he didn't know how far it was, but he couldn't say anything discouraged.

In just a few words, the three of them stopped communicating again, and fell into silence again, I don't know how long it took, the front of the grassland was no longer endless, and a mountain range in the distance blocked the view, and the three of them instantly widened their eyes, swept away their fatigue, and became energetic.

"Look! What is that! Is that the Beiling Mountain Range? Hahahaha, we're finally here!" The three of them were so excited that the road had finally come to an end.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the majesty and magnificence of the Beiling Mountains.

A mysterious mountain range stretched like a dragon at the end of the prairie, finally approaching and being able to see clearly.

Mountain peaks rise from the ground one after another, stretching into patches.

Walk to the front, the rich aura comes to the face, makes people feel comfortable, at this time can no longer see the top of the mountain, look up, can only see the peaks straight into the sky, halfway up the mountainside clouds and mist, like a pillar to support the sky to stand in front of you, majestic, magnificent.

Entering the periphery of the mountain range, strange flowers and plants were everywhere, fragrant, and the small animals blinked at Ling Yao and the three of them with big eyes full of aura, their vigilance was very high, once the three of them made any abnormal moves, they would scatter and flee.

All kinds of trees are stout, straight, and the huge canopy is luxuriant, and from time to time there is a gentle birdsong, although it is invisible, it can be felt that it must be a very beautiful spirit bird, and the roar of a fierce beast is faintly heard from the depths of the distant mountains, indicating the danger there.

The three of them suddenly came to such a mountain range from the prairie, as if they were separated from each other, and they were suddenly refreshed.

Follow the trail of the earth over a mountain peak and come to a valley.

The sight in front of them shocked all three of them, a valley in front of them, surrounded by several mountain peaks, the trees in the valley had been cut down to create a large open space, huge tents one after another, these tents could accommodate thousands of people without a problem, and many people were moving around to open up new open spaces.

King Zhou Shan exclaimed: "How can there be so many people here! I thought it would be difficult to see people when I entered the mountain, but I didn't expect so many people here!"

Jin Teng said: "I'm still wondering, how can the academy say that there should also be a stronghold outside the mountain range, so as to receive the people who come, by the way, I will introduce it here, I didn't expect the academy stronghold to be located in a valley on the periphery of this mountain range, which is really unexpected." ”

Ling Yao was full of joy: "Finally arrived at the place, there must be many teachers from the academy here, after all, this is the base camp, and it is in this mountain, there must be a master in charge, let's go, let's go find out if there are any familiar teachers to inquire about the situation here." ”

The three men walked into the valley and encountered several men who were cutting down trees.

A few people looked at the dusty three people and greeted: "Three brothers, I see that you have just arrived, and you haven't had time to change your clothes yet, how is it, how do you feel all the way?"

Jin Teng smiled bitterly: "Hey, don't mention it, sleeping in the open every day, exposed to the sun and rain, what I miss most now is the days of Phantom Sky City, but a few brothers are really amazing, they arrived so early, there must be a lot of treasures who were taken by a few brothers." ”

Several people shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "It's still a baby, a baby fart, I haven't even seen a hair." ”

"Originally, I was thinking that it was on a first-come, first-served basis, but who would have thought that this was stopped by the teacher, and now the time is not ripe, it is still very dangerous, and it will take a while before everyone is allowed to explore. ”

"I didn't come so early if I knew I wouldn't have said anything, and I was conscripted for free as labor to cut down trees and set up tents here. ”

was chatting, and suddenly there was a scolding voice: "What are you doing, why did you guys stop again, hurry up and work, the big troops behind are about to arrive one after another." ”

A few people sighed, and took turns of knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks and began to work.

Ling Yao looked up and followed the voice, a gray-robed teacher stood on the tip of a tree with his beard in his hands, his face majestic.

"Hey, didn't you three just arrive, it's great, it's just short of manpower, come with me, and arrange a job for you. ”

Several people followed the teacher in frustration.

"Hey, you young people, you know that you are playful, lazy to eat, and don't do some work, your hands and feet are easy to rust, so you should exercise more............"

The three of them had the urge to go up and kick him in the back, but considering the disparity in strength, they might be beaten violently, and they resisted the urge for a long time.

He brought the three of them to a tent: "In the future, the three of you will live in this tent, now go in and change your clothes, and then go over there and remove all the wood, clean it up, and prepare to build another big tent there." ”

Jin Teng showed a pitiful look and said: "Good teacher, we have just passed through the endless prairie, and we are almost exhausted, you are good, how about we rest for half a day first." ”

"What to rest, what to rest, young, shout tired at every turn, when I am so old with you, I don't know what tiredness is, hurry up and don't be lazy, I'll check it in a while." ”

The three of them resisted an impulse again, and honestly went to move wood and cut trees, Jin Teng and King Zhou Shan were both in such a mountain for the first time, and they were very curious, while cutting trees that had grown for I don't know how many years, while constantly looking around.

Ling Yao couldn't be more familiar with such an environment, he had grown up in the mountains since he was a child, and when he came here, Ling Yao had a sense of intimacy and a trace of excitement in his heart.

It's been four or five days since I got here, and I still don't let everyone leave here to go on an expedition, and I've been opening up open spaces and setting up tents.

In the past few days, Ling Yao found that a large number of people had indeed arrived here, and there were more and more people day by day, the more people there were, the less work they had to do, and the more free time they had, after a few days of what they had seen and heard, Ling Yao became more familiar with this place.

This place will be used as a base camp for a long time in the future, and there will be dozens or hundreds of seniors of the academy sitting here, all of whom are masters, and if they encounter danger in the process of exploration, they can return here or ask for help at any time, and if they are accidentally injured, they can also return here to recuperate or ask for help.

Every night in the past few days, you can see the colorful light in the depths of the mountain range, accompanied by the roar of various spirit beasts, and occasionally there can be a burst of sound, a fluctuation produced when the origin law of heaven and earth and the aura converge and then encounter a special external environment, and whenever the sound of the Tao sounds, everyone listens attentively and earnestly understands, which is very helpful for cultivation.

Jin Teng is the most sensitive to this kind of Dao sound, he can feel it first every time, and the harvest is greater than others, Wan Yuan Body is naturally close to the origin of heaven and earth, and it is easy to sense the existence of the origin law of heaven and earth, and it is also deeper than others.

The power of the origin of heaven and earth here is more pure, here, Jin Teng can absorb more of the power of the origin of heaven and earth, and strengthen his own origin, in just a few days, Jin Teng's origin has grown a lot, and his cultivation has also improved a lot, and he even feels that he is about to break through.

This kind of cultivation speed made Ling Yao feel suffocated! It was worthy of the Ten Thousand Source Body, as long as this world was complete enough and the World Source was strong enough, the Ten Thousand Source Body would be terrifying.

Although this is only the periphery of the mountain range, the aura is still sufficient, and the environment is better than that of the academy.

Sure enough, what the seniors said was right, the further they went, the more people came here, and in the end they all appeared in groups, and after another half a month, they rarely saw anyone coming.

And more than 10,000 people have gathered in the base camp! Basically, those who can hold on have already arrived, and the rest are those who retreated in the face of difficulties and turned back halfway.

Fortunately, there were enough tents, more than 1,000 tents stretched out into a patch, which could fully accommodate more than 10,000 people.

Two days later, in a huge, luxurious tent in the center of the valley, dozens of gray-haired and gray-bearded old men discussed together, these were the senior masters of the Illusory Heaven Academy, and they were also the strong backing of more than 10,000 people, they were powerful, and there was basically no danger that they couldn't deal with.

"I don't know if you have noticed, the light has dimmed significantly in the past few days and nights, and even some places, which used to emit bright light, are now pitch black, I feel that the time is ripe, the first batch of treasures produced by the great changes in heaven and earth have taken shape, and they can be allowed to explore. ”

The rest of the old men all nodded their heads, and there was basically no objection.

An old man who looked older and had white hair said: "Then pass it on, and all of you will travel freely tomorrow, and by the way, you will also convey the precautions." ”
