Chapter Eighty-Two: The Far North

Gao Changgong really agreed with Mulan's bold idea, she wanted to set foot on the land of the far north in person, although the road was far away and unpredictable, she did not hesitate to try it and explore the base camp of the demon clan. The reason why there is such a move is because Mulan understands that since the demon clan has become more and more unfathomable and difficult to deal with because of a certain turning point, only by preemptively and knowing it well can he control the initiative under the confrontation.

Hua Mulan then took ten military experts carefully selected by Su Lie, dressed in green clothes similar to the body color of the demons, prepared a set of dry food weapons, and began to head towards the endless and unknown Proxima Centauri polar region. First, they crossed the Makino River in two small boats at night, which was a mile wide, and the further north they went, the thicker the ice became. Because of this, everyone was equipped with a pair of oars, and an icebreaker iron was installed at the front of the boat, until the boat could no longer proceed, and they carefully stepped on the ice.

An accompanying soldier with raised cheekbones and deep eyes suddenly asked the person next to him: "Xiaozi, you said that this ice surface creaked, and when there were no flying wings before, how did their demons get over, could it be that they swam over?" ”

The person next to him frowned slightly, thought slightly, and said in a slightly joking tone: "Maybe it's really swimming over, after all, the demons are also beasts, but there are few beasts who can't swim in the water." ”

The soldier with raised cheekbones, named Hua Qilin, heard from himself that when his mother gave birth to him in the middle of the night, she was surprised by the auspicious appearance of the Qilin in her dream, and she also gave birth to him in the dream. Then, his father named him Qilin, which means lifelong wealth and wealth, how did he expect that five years ago, his hometown suddenly encountered a flood, overnight, his father and mother were drowned, and the land was also turned into a quagmire, so he had to devote himself to the military career and seek to have enough to eat. Whenever he was drunk, he chatted with his comrades about his past, and he always started with triumph and ended with crying bitterly. At the beginning, the people around him also persuaded him to want to open up, not to feel guilty and blame himself, and to blame himself for the natural disaster, but gradually after a long time, the people around him became accustomed to it.

Xiaozi's real name is Guo Zhenyi, just because he likes to blow the flute in his spare time, and the flute voice is tactful and warm. As long as the sound of Xiao is together, Guo Zhenyi's side will gather many people to listen attentively and bring them spiritual comfort, so his comrades-in-arms named him "Xiaozi", which is Guo Zhenyi's mark in the military and a compliment to him. Over time, people don't remember his real name more and more, and they call him Xiaozi directly.

Through the conversation between Hua Qilin and Xiaozi, Mulan has a new understanding of the demons, and they are good at water.

Liu Chunfeng suddenly asked: "Captain Hua, last time, as the pioneer of demon swindling, you fought with the demons in the Western Regions several times, and finally slaughtered them all, you must have experienced hardships among them, do you have any new understanding of the demons?" ”

After Liu Chunfeng asked, everyone's eyes turned to Mulan. Mulan's eyes suddenly became dull, as if the memories of the past were painful. The number of battles she has fought with the demons is really too numerous to count, from serving as a patrol captain on the Great Wall, to worshipping as a pioneer in the Western Regions, she has the most say in the demons.

"Today's demons are far from being comparable to what they used to be. In the past, they would only make tentative incursions, stealing guns, food, poultry and livestock, and occasionally arresting a few people. I don't know who instructed them later, as if they were enlightened, not only had their own weapons, flying machines, but even used the art of war strategy. It is precisely because of this that their ambitions will become more and more greedy, and they even want to capture the Great Wall and occupy the entire King Continent. On top of that, they were even able to communicate with us in our language, even though the pronunciation was not very accurate and the words were slurred. It's pretty scary, though. Moreover, these changes have only happened in a short decade. Who knows if in another ten years, the demons will far surpass us, it is really unknown. This is also the reason why we entered the demon lair in the north this time, we are personally involved in danger this time, and we must understand them thoroughly. Otherwise, we will only become more and more passive in the face of them in the future. Mulan revealed meaningfully, everything she knew about the demons.

When everyone listened to this, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

When Mulan saw her warriors at this moment, she became depressed. Then he changed his tone from a sluggish tone to a firm and sonorous tone, encouraging them: "Compared to the demons, we are short and dressed in green, and it is difficult for them to find our whereabouts. And most of the demons have the problem of sleepiness at night, once they fall asleep, even if they are next to their ears and rings a gong, they may not wake up. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the dull atmosphere instantly became no longer depressing.

As the group continued to go deeper, the ground under their feet was gradually covered with a layer of snow, and with the faint torch, Mulan looked up at the sky, and the scattered snowflakes were falling leisurely. Fortunately, they prepared cotton clothes in advance, otherwise it would have been really difficult.

After about half an hour, the group finally set foot on the northern land. It was pitch black as far as the eye could see, with only sporadic snowflakes, riding the night wind, falling on their faces from time to time. At this time, Hua Qilin suddenly asked: "It's so dark, and it's snowing again, why don't we find a place to avoid the snow first, and then we will leave when the day dawns." ”

Nearby, Xiao Zi was playing with a palm of snow that had just been picked up from the ground in his hand, and heard Hua Qilin say this. With a swish, the snow ball was thrown behind Hua Qilin's back in an instant. Angry but whispered: "Isn't it cold and funny, didn't you hear what Captain Hua just said, the demons love to be sleepy, is it possible that when they wake up during the day, we can't go under his nose?!" ”

"Yes, we should march at night and rest during the day." Liu Chunfeng echoed on the side, his hands kept rubbing because of the cold.

"Keep going, don't speak loudly, put out the torches, and when dawn breaks down, we'll find a hidden place to hide." Mulan said coldly.

In this way, everyone felt the darkness and cautiously walked towards the north. After about half an hour, Hua Qilin couldn't help but be curious, and said: "This should be a cold cave all year round, we have walked for so long, and we haven't even seen a dwarf tree and withered grass, what do you say the demons usually eat to live?" ”

"Your question, I was also thinking just now, cold weather does not mean that there is no food source, the fish in the river, the scorpion under the stones, the rabbit in the snow, the rat in the soil, the bat in the cave, aren't they all eaten. No matter how bad it is, they can still eat snow. Xiao Zi answered.

"We've all seen demons, but you can see that they are burly and green, not like they can grow like that by eating these small shrimps in the world." Hua Qilin continued to throw out questions, which also caused many people to ponder. , and then exchanged heads and ears, expressing their approval.

"Then what do you say to eat, it is difficult to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, if they can afford to eat, they will not come all the way to steal our food and poultry." Xiao Zi asked impatiently.

When Xiaozi finished speaking, everyone praised what Xiaozi said was reasonable.

"Not necessarily, maybe they're just trying it out." Hua Qilin did not accept the refutation, and continued to question himself.

"You think that all the creatures on this planet are just like you, they are all foodies." Xiaozi joked.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. An imperceptible smile also swept across Mulan's face.
