Chapter 859: Xuan Ming (1)

The weather in the far north is unpredictable.

An Xiaoyu They hid in an ice crevice, using a multi-purpose sapper shovel as a support point, and stayed in the ice crevasse hundreds of meters deep for about two hours, but the hurricane outside still showed no signs of dissipating, and it was circling around.

Yes, they were surrounded by polar hurricanes, and by the time they reacted, they were already surrounded by tornadoes that reached the sky, hovering in the area. And they don't know what kind of gap they have walked into this area, and they can't find a way out.

"Shaozun, how long do you think this storm will be gone?" Fei Rong couldn't help but say, although they are all battle-hardened soldiers, but in this ice crevice can't go up or down, although the wind can't blow, and the snow can't shoot, but there will always be times when they can't support it.

An Xiaoyu was helpless: "You are a soldier from the extreme north, do you ask me?" I've never even been to the Far North. ”

Fei Rong shrugged his shoulders, they didn't dare to make much movement now, the two ends of the sapper shovel poked into the ice, and everyone only had such a support point, relying on the support belt tied to the body and hanging on it with both arms, and if there was any negligence, they would fall.

Who knows what's going to be down there?

Looking down at the deep ice crevasse below, Fei Rong remembered the rumors he had heard in the barracks before, all of which were legends handed down from ancient times in the far north, such as the divine beast that controlled the hurricane, and the air exhaled from its nostrils would turn into a tornado and blow out.

In short, such legends are quite popular in the extreme north and near the extreme north, and some people even say that they have seen mythical beasts, and the inhabitants of the extreme north are even proud to see such a magical phenomenon, and can boast for a lifetime.

But Fei Rong never believed in it from the beginning, how could there be such a thing as a divine beast in this world? It's a big deal, it's a lonely alien, and it's still possible. There is a high probability that it is also a natural phenomenon, and what happens in this part of the extreme north is not unreasonable at all.

The question he was now about was, when will these hurricanes leave or dissipate? Why are they hovering in this place?

They had already left the first target point, and after tidying up in the previous village, they began to make their way to the Oasis base. The location they are now is not far from the junction between the first and second floors, and they have been exhausted by the long journey these days.

What made Fei Rong even more sad was that of course there would be losses in the process of marching, and when they were attacked by strange beasts in the extreme north twice, because the size of the beast was too small and the speed was too fast, even An Xiaoyu could not react in time, resulting in the death of three soldiers on the spot and the serious injury of the unknown soldier.

The corpses of the dead warriors were left in the snow and the coordinates were written down, while the wounded were placed in the previous village and entrusted to the care of the residents of the village.

Of course, they also gave enough price, some food and supplies, as a reward for taking care of them, telling the villagers to take care of these five people until the end of the polar night, or they returned. If they don't return at the end of the polar night, the five warriors will leave on their own.

Then they walked forward for another three days, and when they finally approached the oasis, they did not encounter any more intractable beasts, but they did not even get into the encirclement of these hurricanes.

In fact, there is no surprise, hurricanes in the far north have always been like this, they produce quickly, disappear very slowly, and move very slowly. Maybe they entered the gale area through a gap, and not long after they entered, a new hurricane was created in their gap, sealing the gap completely.

Fei Rong had only heard other veterans talk about such a situation before, but he had never encountered it himself. After all, he is just a recruit who has been in the Far North for more than half a year, and although he also entered the Far North to suppress bandits last time, he just followed the veterans around and saw some of them, so he knows everything about it.

As for when will the current hurricane dissipate? Hell knows!

"Hey! Fei Rong? An Xiaoyu's voice suddenly came from the communicator.

After these warriors entered the ice crevice, An Xiaoyu stayed outside, and the power of the sea of stars covered by his body remained eternal, ensuring that An Xiaoyu remained immobile in the wind, like a mountain. She stayed on it to help keep an eye out for the beasts that would also burrow in, and to watch for possible weather changes.

Fei Rong laughed twice and joked: "What? Do you want to change shifts? ”

An Xiaoyu didn't smile at all, but asked blankly: "Fei Rong, let me ask you, have you heard of Xuan Ming?" ”

"Xuanming?" Fei Rong was stunned for a moment.

Of course, he had heard of it, and he was one of the gods of the four seasons and the four directions in the myths and legends of the empire, representing the gods of winter and the north, or divine beasts. It is the legendary god of the sea, the god of wind and the god of plague, and is also called Yuqiang or Yujiang.

In the mythology, it is said that the god of Xuan Ming has a human face and a bird body, a green snake hanging on each ear on both sides, and two green snakes on his feet, coming with the wind and snow and going away with the wind and snow. It is said that its winds can spread plagues, and if it encounters a northwest wind that blows it, it will be injured, and it is from here that the northwest wind is called a strong wind.

Of course, modern science has proved that the northwesterly winds in winter are caused by temperature changes and global pressure changes, and the northerly winds are westerly because of the influence of geomagnetic fields. As for the northwesterly wind, it can spread the plague because the cold and dry environment in winter is more suitable for the spread of bacteria and viruses.

The fact that you will be injured in the northwest wind has not been talked about for many years. As people's living conditions increase, there are more and more means of keeping warm in winter, skin care products have become very cheap, and working conditions have become more and more comfortable, because there are fewer and fewer cases of dry skin caused by wind blowing in winter.

Even in a small place in the East, there was a legend that weasels secretly scratched and injured people in winter, saying that the drying and cracking of the skin was a weasel hiding in the wind and secretly attacking humans, and then regarded the weasel as a god who manipulated the wind, making it the same as the real thing. (The so-called sickle)

Compared with the image of a living god like a weasel, Xuan Ming is obviously more attention-grabbing.

In fact, on such a vast territory as the empire, coupled with the early dispersion and tribal settlement of human beings, beliefs and myths and legends have some deviations from each other. Although many beliefs and legends that are mostly the same have been combined later, there are still some differences.

Xuanming became the incarnation of Xuanwu, and at the same time, as the leader of the northern gods and beasts, he controlled the power of the five elements of water, and the image became the appearance of a turtle and a snake.

So now when it comes to Xuan Ming, it's roughly like this.

Fei Rong didn't know why An Xiaoyu talked about Xuan Ming, so he couldn't help asking, "What are you asking for?" Don't say you saw Xuanming, haha......"

But after two laughs, he couldn't laugh anymore. Because they could feel it under the ice crevices, the hurricane outside suddenly became more violent, and large expanses of snow were lifted up by the wind and scattered in the sky, flying into the ice crevices and falling on their heads.

An Xiaoyu also began to transmit the image outside to them using a short-distance communication device, at this time no one cared about the loss of energy, including Fei Rong, all the soldiers were staring blankly at the miniature light screen that appeared in front of them, and the huge, slowly moving black shadow displayed on it was shocking and inexplicable.

Fei Rong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked carefully, "Shaozun, this is not your prank, right?" ”

"Don't speak, I want to ...... quietly," An whispered to say.

This time, no one really spoke, and at this moment, everyone saw that the huge black shadow was coming in their direction, and in the dark night, it was covered in aurora, illuminating the edge of its huge body, but it was impossible to see what it looked like.

But it came slowly, in their direction, and seemed to move very slowly, very quickly, and before that the huge black shadow appeared not far from them, and came to their side with an aura that crushed them from every level.

The aurora on its body disappeared, but it did not affect An Xiaoyu They could see the outline of the giant beast clearly, the round junior, raised and fell in the fierce wind and the thick limbs that were not affected at all, and a huge rumbling sound accompanied by the sound of the wind came from afar.

An Xiaoyu saw its specific size clearly, the whole can be almost as high as a dozen floors, the whole is a giant, any alien race, any spirit beast in front of it, will be like a little chicken, and human beings in front of it, not even ants.

Each time they thought that Xuanwu had reached their approach, but every time they looked closely, they would refresh their perception of Xuanwu's size. It was growing bigger, moving forward, far from being in front of them, for them to see its massive body.

An Xiaoyu and everyone held their breath, they didn't know if Xuanwu was real, and they didn't know what this giant beast wanted to do when he came to them. Is it passing by? Or is it deliberate? If it's intentional, then what exactly is it for?

For the first time, An Xiaoyu began to realize that the myths and legends handed down by human beings in ancient times and primeval times actually had a practical basis. Maybe there aren't many creatures in this world, but who says that you can't use one Xuanwu?

Now that Xuanwu has it, do the so-called Green Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger all have their prototypes? An Xiaoyu couldn't help but be shocked, and the thoughts in her heart began to spin quickly.

At this time, Fei Rong's voice finally remembered: "Shaozun, do you think we should hide?" When the gods are on patrol, will mortals be punished by heaven when they watch from the side? ”

An Xiaoyu taught angrily: "What are you hiding? In this situation, where do you want to hide? Besides, what gods are not gods? There are gods in this world who can be regarded as gods, unless they are tomb keepers. What a Xuanwu beast is just a big turtle. ”

"But...... Even if it's just a big turtle, that's a little too big, right? And these hurricanes are kind of weird, are you sure it's not going to do anything to us? ”

"Well, I'm not sure."

"Can you beat it, then?"

"This ...... Not very clear ......"

Everyone was speechless, and now they began to fall into a state of waiting for death. There is no way to leave, there is no way to fight, I can't figure out the purpose of the other party, I can only wait for nature to deal with them mercilessly, maybe a little gentle, maybe a little cruel.

"Afraid of what? It's a big deal, it's just a death! Fei Rong gritted his teeth and finished the pre-war mobilization in one sentence.

An Xiaoyu suddenly smiled: "Don't be so pessimistic, my intuition tells me that maybe something good will happen." ”

"What good thing can be? Could there still be a superior man who descended from the sky and took us away? Fei Rong said speechlessly.

As they got closer, Xuanwu's huge body began to officially appear in front of them. When one of Xuanwu's front legs landed on An Xiaoyu's thirty meters away, An Xiaoyu couldn't help but raise his head, but he couldn't see the top of Xuanwu at all.

How big is that? An Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh, this leg can almost top a building, let alone the turtle shell on it. In the wind and snow, even An Xiaoyu's eyesight could not see the whole picture of this Xuanwu in such darkness, only its thick legs.

This leg, said to be a leg, is more like a pile, the Optimus Pillar that fell from the sky, fell on the ground, but did not raise too much snow, let alone fall into the snow, as if walking on the ground. But even so, there was a rumbling of footsteps, like thunder on the ground.

Slowly lifting up, slowly falling, and taking another step, An Xiaoyu could feel the power of the rich water system law on Xuanwu's body, as if it was condensed into substance, wrapped around Xuanwu, completely unaffected by the fucking environment around the extreme north.

However, just when An Xiaoyu was envious, Xuanwu's footsteps stopped and he didn't move.

They waited for a second, two, three seconds...... I found that Xuanwu really didn't move anymore and didn't continue to move forward. Fei Rong was frightened and asked cautiously, "Shaozun...... You can't do anything, do you? ”

Ann whispered, "What can I do?" Hey? Fei Rong, you crow's mouth really shined this time! ”

"What?" Fei Rong was stunned for a moment, but saw that on the screen transmitted through An Xiaoyu's camera, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, and he couldn't help but be demented: "Is there really a master falling from the sky?" It can't be interracial, right? ”

"Phew!" More than 3,000 fighters began to complain.

Fei Rong didn't see it clearly, but An Xiaoyu saw it clearly, this figure clearly fell from Xuanwu's back, and came straight in his direction. Not to mention Fei Rong, An Xiaoyu began to wonder if the alien race came to settle accounts with him.

However, when she saw the faces of the people who came, An Xiaoyu instantly relieved herself, and asked tentatively: "Black impermanence?" ”

Black Impermanence's appearance is similar to that of Bai Impermanence, but this kind of face is placed under the long black hair, with the black robe and cold expression, but it presents a completely different feeling from Bai, more cold and masculine.

"Just call me black." Hei Wuchang nodded and said, "I'll pick you up." ”

An whispered and said, "I still have some companions......

Hei Wuchang didn't say anything, he waved his hand directly, and an exclamation sounded in the communicator. More than 3,000 soldiers, including Fei Rong, flew out of the ice crevices with the black impermanence and floated in mid-air. Immediately afterwards, even An Xiaoyu floated up.

"Eh, I don't need to, I'm okay myself......" An Xiaoyu hurriedly said.

Hei Wuchang nodded, let go of his control over An Xiaoyu, and took Fei Rong and them towards Xuanwu's back. An Xiaoyu released the energy in her body, carefully felt the chaotic magnetic field around her, tried her best to control her steady rise, and followed behind.

After arriving at Xuanwu's back, An Xiaoyu couldn't help but step on it a little harder, only to find that Xuanwu's back was not a piece of hard turtle shell, but a layer of moss that seemed to grow on top of the turtle shell, or maybe it was fluff, in short, it was very soft and heavy.

Could it be that Xuanwu is a green-haired turtle? An Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Fei Rong and they also changed from the initial surprise to the current calm, everyone was silent, standing on Xuanwu's back, Xuanwu took a step, Xuanwu took the next step, they shook three times, they couldn't stand at all, and finally they could only sit down.

"Shaozun, is this your acquaintance?" Fei Rong asked in a low voice.

"Sort of...... An Xiaoyu said, even if he didn't rely on his appearance, An Xiaoyu could feel the extremely rich heavenly spirit aura in Hei Wuchang's body, which was a supreme life breath that other living beings could not possess at all.

"But why does this man look so strange?" Fei Rong leaned next to An Xiaoyu.

"Strange?" An Xiaoyu looked at the black impermanence's face, and then at Fei Rong's strange expression, and began to think about whether Fei Rong's aesthetics were problematic, or her own eyes were blinded. The appearance of black impermanence is clearly very handsome, right? Although not as handsome as the administrator.

Tianling seems to be quite handsome.

But he said, "They can't see my face. ”

"Ah......" An Xiaoyu understood.

Fei Rong also had the courage to let go of his voice and said: "I can only see a black and sloppy place, like a black hole on the face, weird." ”

An Xiaoyu shrugged her shoulders, and then raised her head and asked Hei Wuchang: "Are you here to pick me up?" ”

The legendary Xuanwu beast has not appeared for many years and disappeared from the eyes of the world. There must be a reason why he suddenly appeared on the periphery of the extreme north now, plus the fact that Hei Wuchang has been in retreat in the depths of the extreme north, An Xiaoyu guessed.

Hei Wuchang nodded as expected: "I feel your breath." ”

"What about those hurricanes...... Ann asked quietly.

"It's so you don't run around."

Fei Rong became uncomfortable.
