1636 Wind Departure
"They're finally going to leave?"
After a while, in the corner of the camp, the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice who appeared here at some point stood behind Duan Qing with a shield, and the latter gradually stood up from the state where he was still crouching and looking for something, and looked at the face of the woman who came to find him with a sudden look: "Really, I thought I could delay it for two more days." ”
"You expected them to make this decision?" Raising his eyebrows, Xue Lingphantom Bing propped his shield-covered left arm on his waist: "You already knew that Surtu would come back?" ”
"No matter how much it goes too far, I can't expect Surtu to come back." Pursing his mouth helplessly, Duan Qing, who tilted his head, turned around and smiled: "I just vaguely feel that these people don't dare to stay in this place anymore...... What, Surtu is back? ”
"Where did he go?"
Just like everyone's first reaction when they saw Surtu, the gray-robed magician walked over with a look of dust and grass clippings, and countless camp commotions from the distance behind the two people kept rising in each other's hearing range as the conversation between them continued, and it seemed that they were gradually starting to get busy with something: "...... In other words, he acted because of the last words left by the old patriarch of the Wab tribe? ”
"He returned to the crowd with a certain token, and judging from the reaction of the other side, the token was not a fake." Xue Lingphantom Bing nodded cautiously: "Surtu said that the Patriarch of Wakabu entrusted this matter to him that night, so that he had to find this token as quickly as possible and get it back, the old patriarch said that the matter was very serious, so Surtu had no reason to delay in place." ”
He didn't expect the other party to die after he left, nor did he expect it to take him so long to get something. The white-haired woman continued to introduce the information she knew to Duan Qing: "According to him, the place to hide such a token is even more secret than he imagined, and it is also more dangerous than he imagined. ”
"The message left by that Waqab patriarch was more like a 'last word' - it looks more like that now." Nodding his head vigorously, Duan Qing pursed his lips and fell into a state of thought: "That prop that has to be retrieved by a foreigner as a token...... Wait a minute, isn't that the reason why the Wab have been here? ”
"I don't know."
Looking back in the direction she had come, Xue Lingphantasm Ice pointed to the entire camp that had begun to pack up all kinds of belongings and prepare to leave, and replied in a low voice: "Judging from our investigation in the past few days, the Wabu do seem to be a tribe that is fleeing from something and has been displaced here for some reason, but no one is willing to mention the reason why they were forced to this riverside area, and no one is willing to explain what that token represents. ”
"It's just that because the token is now in Surtu's hands, everyone including Vabas seems to be more convinced of him." Speaking of this, a strange emotion appeared on Xue Ling's face: "Even though the two tribes were still suspicious of each other in the past, arguing about who was the murderer of the patriarch, they finally listened to Surtu's advice and prepared to continue migrating together." ”
"After all, the cause of the old patriarch's death looks more like a natural death." Duan Qing, who was holding his chin, pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this: "And according to Surtu, it was the old patriarch himself who asked him to find that token, even if no one believed it, but the fact that it took a foreign leader so long to retrieve his own token was still placed in front of their eyes, so——"
"Surtu is now considered to be the power of the two tribes?" Squinting his eyes, the gray-robed magician's gaze involuntarily fell on the lively camp: "Is this guy also a Chosen One?" How easily did he gain the trust of the two clan chiefs? ”
"You don't seem to have any position to say that." Squinting his eyes at the magic wand that looked like a burning stick behind the other party, Xue Lingphantom Ice showed a look of contempt: "If I hadn't been witnessing your experience, even Asahi Dongsheng wouldn't believe that you 'picked up' such a good ancient weapon and escaped from the ruins alive." ”
"Come on, don't look at how much effort and cost us to." Duan Qing twisted his nose: "Can this still be regarded as our adventure reward?" Don't you feel at a loss? ”
"At least we've got a lot of useful information." Looking back at a certain direction outside the camp, Xue Lingphantasm Ice also sighed deeply: "That ancient experimental field under the abyss, and the energy fluctuations that continue to flow through this place...... Do you think what we've seen before explains the monsoon that has been forming here all the time? ”
"Look at the winds around here, they are not as strong as they used to blow." Pointing to the top of his head, Duan Qing's gaze also retracted as his expression retracted: "The flow of the leylines has also begun to become weak, and the wind is also weak to the extent that it can resist without the need for the Wind Stone, but the loss of these leylines should also be due to the previous eruption, if it weren't for this, the wind field left in this place might be able to last for a long time." ”
"They will follow this path all the way and eventually converge to an end and end that we don't know."
The gray-robed magician stretched out a finger and pointed directly ahead on the other side of the river: "The return of Surtu has solved one of the great mysteries here, and we don't have to tie our hands and feet for the murder that befell here for no apparent reason, but another big mystery about this place seems to be waiting for us to solve." ”
"Surtu may have sensed this, so he made this decision." Xue Lingphantom Bing on the side nodded in agreement: "It's also fortunate that he can control such a huge scene at this time, if it is another person or another situation, my plan to move forward will probably be stranded." ”
"Don't say that, we don't know what we're going to encounter if we move on." Shaking his head with some hesitation, Duan Qing's face became a little more solemn: "Compared to the hidden enemies we are facing, the resources in our hands are nothing at all, so I can't judge whether the choice I made is correct or not until the results appear." ”
"Hopefully, these unrealistic efforts will have a little effect when that last moment comes."
As he said this, his body crouched forward into the vast grassland, and the torrent from behind the magician gradually flowed towards him as the flow of people gathered like a camp. The cries of all kinds of cattle and sheep and the creaking of carriages also continued to sound in the whimpering sound of the wind, and the escort team formed by the more powerful tribal warriors also began to gather around this huge migration procession, each shouldering their own responsibilities at this time, they were also like fragments wrapped around the torrent, gradually diverging and colliding towards the depths of the grassland on the other side of the river: "Go! Come on! Forty Delhi must be completed before dark! ”
"Don't let the Sioux people underestimate us! We are also a tribe that has lived in this area for a long time! Show them how fast our feet are! ”
"Hey, look at the guys' eyes...... They all look like they want to fight us. ”
"If you don't want to be obedient, let them go, go wherever you want, if it weren't for Surtu, who would want to stay with these people who trouble us every day."
“…… It looks like we still have a long way to go. ”
Looking at the clear distinction between the members of the two clans who were still in the procession and occasionally pushed each other, Lu Finn, who was sitting above the escort carriage, put down the flask in his hand with a comfortable expression: "I don't mean the road on the grassland, I mean the future of this team - this hodgepodge-like team doesn't seem to be so easy to get together." ”
"Just like we at the Loufin Chamber of Commerce...... Why, what do you mean by those eyes? Then came the voice of Baibu Wushuang standing steadily above the carriage and patrolling around him: "Don't want to admit it? You and the Loufin Chamber of Commerce don't have full trust in the Sioux in the first place, do you? ”
"Hah, damn little one." So Lu Fen chuckled and poured his head up again: "This is also the trouble caused by absolute power, let me learn a little, young man." ”
"I don't need to." Answering him was another cold snort from Baibu Wushuang: "All I need is strength that is enough to satisfy myself, and nothing else matters." ”
"Then the road you're going to have will be even rougher." With a disdainful snort, Lu Fen poured his wine again to hide his expression: "But if it weren't for your suggestion before, we wouldn't have walked with these guys at all." ”
"You're sure to like to be here, don't you?" A touch of brilliance was revealed behind the wine jug, representing the old man's eyes looking at Baibu Wushuang at this time: "Have you got someone you like?" ”
"Even though they didn't see anything, I think they're a bunch of people who are already ahead of everybody." Saying the words that he didn't understand, Baibu Wushuang's voice replied in an extremely low voice at this time: "As an adventurer, of course I can feel it, so-"
"I won't let them go."
The voice like a declaration fell towards the group along with his sideways gaze, accompanied by the sharp eyes he stared at the corner of the group, and the backs of the players who were playing with each other were also shuttling back and forth in his field of vision, and the voice of the conversation was also unscrupulously carried by the wind: "-So what do you say." ”
"Ask me? Neither of them said anything in the end, so why did they trouble me in the first place? ”
"It was you who put down the big words before, not us, who put down the words to bear, this is the responsibility of a man."
"Hah, then let's take this responsibility together, anyway, when Surtu said that he was going to go, I didn't see any of you raise any objections...... Well, what about the magician who likes to play alone? ”
"There."
The small team of adventurers who were watched by the hundred steps of peerless changed at this moment, and gradually separated towards the periphery of the team with countless eyes that vaguely converged here, and the attention that followed them gradually moved to another lonely figure not far from the team with the footsteps of these people separating from the migration team: "Is this where the ruins were originally located?" ”
"That's right, now only the remains remain."
Standing there silently against the swaying wind, Duan Qing, who came here at some point, pointed to the huge pit that appeared in front of him and replied in a low voice, the chaotic stones of the ruins that were once located here and the undead creatures gathered around them also disappeared between the pitch-black and bottomless abyss that appeared in front of them at this time along with the huge energy storm that erupted before: "I don't know how that Kyle II is now, it should still be alive." ”
"It's the only one that can alter and manipulate the experimental devices underground, and it's the only one that can remove the energy protection that keeps the top of this ruin." Walking to the edge of the cliff where the bottom could not be seen either, Xue Lingphantom Bing looked at Duan Qing's back with his chin: "Didn't you say these words before?" Since you can do all this, it means that the magic weapon is still prepared. ”
"It could be." Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who was looking down at the bottom of the huge pit, his slightly confused gaze also wandered back and forth between the countless rolling dirt blocks: "But no matter what the final result is below, we can't confirm it now, because——"
He didn't say anything else, the wind that kept lingering around seemed to roll the eyes of several people gathered here in a farther direction, and Gedmayne, who was standing at the back, then pouted and glanced at the end of the migration team that continued to move forward, and his voice again became low: "So we're just leaving?" Don't look for that little girl's whereabouts anymore? ”
"Let's believe in her ability to survive, it's a big deal to see you on the other side of the bridge later." Duan Qing, who replied, exhaled a long breath: "And according to the news and progress you brought back from outside earlier, the first group of people may have almost passed through that bridge." ”
"Our first-come, first-served advantage is running out." patted his chest, and the rising sun's eyes also brightened: "I can't continue to waste time, I have to quickly find the source of all this and do a great job!" ”
"Then don't be nostalgic for being here." patted Duan Qing on the back, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who finally spoke, shook his long white hair and took the lead in taking his steps: "I thought that there were more enemies waiting in front to taste my sword-"
"I'm getting a little impatient, too."
