Chapter 854: Shadow (2)
"It seems that the turmoil in the far north is indeed involving foreign races."
After burying the bodies of those brothers in the Xuexue, and collecting the energy furnaces and bullets on their bodies, Fei Rong led the team to continue walking, but this time An Xiaoyu couldn't be idle.
Since there are aliens watching, only An Xiaoyu is the only one in this team who can deal with this situation. Those who can work harder, An Xiaoyu has been moving in front and back of the team, although it is not very laborious, but it is a little irritable.
They rested for a while at noon, and in the evening they reached the end of the valley. In fact, An Xiaoyu had already noticed that from the place where they rested at noon, the entire valley had been rising at a subtle angle, and the bottom of the valley was getting higher and higher.
Finally, at the end of the valley, the depth is no more than ten meters, and then there is a gentle slope, which can be climbed up from the valley at will. Although there is no sun in the far north, people's work and rest time is still normal, and at six or seven o'clock in the evening, they rest again.
And this time to rest, Fei Rong did not intend to continue on, but stationed under the mouth of the valley. The valley mouth is a gentle terrain and there is not much snow on the peaks on both sides, so it can be said that it is a pretty good camping point.
"Tonight will probably be the last time we can get to sleep, and we will leave the valley and continue our journey to the far north, where there will be villages far ahead. The next thing is a long journey for several days in a row, and I will rest for Lao Tzu today! Don't let anyone drop the chain for me! Fei Rong instructed unceremoniously.
The soldiers also responded and began to prepare to dig snow nests for cooking.
In such an environment, tents are far less convenient and practical than snow caves, and of course, it is even more convenient to set up a tent in a snow cave. One place in each squad, the sappers shoveled and flew over, and soon dug rows of snow nests in the thick snow.
The pot stove began to heat up in the ventilated hole, An Xiaoyu squatted down to check the footprints left before, and said, "They really went up from here, passed through the entire valley, and headed for the depths of the extreme north. ”
"Actually, if it were me, I would have chosen this way of marching." Fei Rong said: "A company of 4,000 people, placed in the valley is actually like a small stone, unless you know the march route in advance and ambush on both sides, you can complete this road in a day of rapid marching, there is no need to worry about anything at all." ”
An Xiaoyu also nodded, before the strong wind of the polar night came, if you want to cause avalanches on the mountains on both sides, unless you use the power of the law or **, otherwise these thousands of years of snow will not be pushed down so easily.
And even if there is an avalanche, the whole canyon is so big, it may not be able to bury the people below, after all, how the snow on the top of the mountain is connected into patches, only after the avalanche happens, you will know, and if you are lucky, you can avoid it by running a few steps forward.
"But where they went out of this valley is not so easy to find." An whispered and said: "The wind outside the valley is strong, the sun and the blowing, plus the friction of the floating snow floating in the wind, a few days is enough time to cover the footprints they left behind. Ann whispered.
"Now we can only hope that the heavy snow five days ago left traces for us under the new school floor, otherwise our clues will be broken again." Fei Rong was also a little worried.
"But at least we can be sure that this valley is indeed our people, and the corpses we encountered before should be soldiers patrolling the valley simultaneously. But I still don't understand, since they are dead, why are there no other traces nearby? ”
"You mean traces of battle?" Fei Rong asked.
An Xiaoyu nodded: "Why do aliens attack soldiers?" Whether it was simply to kill, or to block, or to clash with missions, in short, they killed the soldiers of the outer patrols, but neither the companies in the valley nor the alien races reacted to this or the next action, which is very abnormal. ”
"But it's ......abnormal," Fei Rong thought for a while and said: "Or those alien races appeared at the beginning, just by accident, and found that the soldiers in the valley did not dare to act rashly, and after being discovered by the patrol soldiers, they killed them, and disappeared after they started." ”
"Or maybe there was some kind of sudden and dramatic change, the alien had to kill the patrolling soldiers and leave, while the company in the valley faced another difficulty and could not get out."
"Or maybe there is something they want on these patrol soldiers, and from the beginning their target is not the entire company, but the few people who died before."
One after another, the two of them deduced a lot of possibilities. By the time Fei Rong's snow nest had been dug up, they had finished eating, and although there was no definite conclusion, it was at least certain that the company must have made it out of the valley alive.
Is it An Xiaoyu is still very curious, since these alien races were near the valley before, why are they still in this place after the company left the valley? And since they didn't pose a threat to the previous company before, why did they attack them one after another?
Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu suddenly had a bold idea in her heart.
But this idea flashed in An Xiaoyu's mind, but there was no way to make up her mind.
She sat cross-legged in a snow nest, and the energy in her body was constantly exchanging with the outside world. It has been a few days since she entered the extreme north, and An Xiaoyu has gradually discovered the laws of the extreme north. There is no natural environment in this world that does not have any spiritual energy, unless it is artificial.
This place in the extreme north is certainly no exception, just like the world of star energy and the Heavenly Dao, the pure energy world will collapse, and the pure material world will also not exist. Matter and energy coexist, this is the basis of the composition of the Great Dao, so wherever there is matter, there must be energy.
If there is energy, there must be aura, and the reason why you can't feel aura, it's just because aura is too thin.
From the moment he entered the extreme north, An Xiaoyu could feel that the aura was declining sharply. And after reaching the so-called first layer, this kind of aura energy has begun to stabilize, maintaining at the bottom of a limit, and continuing to lower will inevitably lead to the annihilation of matter.
Therefore, in the far north, from the outside to the inside, the power of the law was first limited, and then the concentration of spiritual energy was reduced, and then through the magnetic law of the geomagnetic pole, all the other laws were dispersed, forming a vacuum zone of the law.
Feeling the energy that began to circulate in her body, An Xiaoyu felt relieved. Although the aura concentration around her was very low, at least she was able to maintain an energy balance within a certain limit now, at least much stronger than those cultivators who could not cultivate when they came in.
However, An Xiaoyu has never understood that since he now needs to rely on energy to cast the law, does the cultivators in history who have entered the Dao with gods need to go through a process of martial arts? If this is the case, why did people who entered the Tao as gods not start to revise the martial arts exercises when the heavens and the earth began to be restricted?
In fact, An Xiaoyu didn't know that in ancient times, when the decline of the Dao of the Gods, the restrictions between heaven and earth were far less serious than they are now. In ancient times, people who entered the Tao with gods also needed to transform their bodies to condense energy through martial arts, but the way was fundamentally different.
Their energy condensation is similar to An Xiaoyu's star energy utilization now. Because it is energy, it only needs to reach the realm of the human spirit, and you can easily merge the energy with yourself, and it doesn't matter what kind of exercises you practice or how you absorb this energy.
Of course, it will definitely not work now, the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao on human cultivation have increased, especially since there has only been a suitable successor for ten thousand years with the gods, so if An Xiaoyu wants to cultivate martial arts, she can only follow the rules of martial arts.
After a night like this, An Xiaoyu opened her eyes according to the time, and saw Fei Rong crawling out of the snow nest, moving her hands and feet, and began to check one by one whether anyone had not woken up. You must know that in a place like the Far North, it is still very dangerous to sleep, and maybe the body will be abnormal, and many people will die if they are not found in time.
After making sure everyone was up properly, Fei Rong began to prepare his morning meal.
An Xiaoyu looked at him and said, "Last night was safe and sound, which verified one of my conjectures. ”
Fei Rong thought that An Xiaoyu was talking about the conjectures they said when they sat together yesterday, so he asked casually, "Which one?" ”
In his opinion, those conjectures of last night, no matter which one was confirmed, it was a matter of irrelevance to them. After all, the previous company has left, and now they are also going to pursue it, and what kind of purpose the alien race has seems to have no effect on their search for the Northern Spear.
But An Xiaoyu said: "It's not the possibilities I said last night, but another." ”
Fei Rong heated the contents of the food bag with an energy stove, connected the water cup with the energy stove and began to boil water, and asked seriously, "Have you found something?" ”
An Xiaoyu asked: "Do you feel that whether it is attacking us or the company before the attack, the attack on us by the alien race is not like an attack, but more like harassment and intimidation?" Disappear as soon as you miss, and every time you hit the point, you don't make sure you hit it. ”
"Do you still want the aliens to know the art of war?" Fei Rong smiled.
An Xiaoyu shook her head: "I just think that these alien races attacked the company that passed through the valley before, and they should have left the same after that company left, but they are still active near the valley, which is not a normal thing in itself, and this is not a treasure of feng shui?" ”
Fei Rong also began to understand: "There is something near this valley! ”
An Xiaoyu lowered her voice: "What I'm not sure about now is whether we should wade into this troubled water or not." If these alien races are operating in such a peripheral area, they really have some big plans, and it is absolutely a terrible thing, and I feel uneasy to leave it alone like this. ”
"Then go and see?" Fei Rong thought very simply.
"Huh!" An Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "You can take risks, but I don't want you to take risks, whether I go to see it myself and leave you behind, or we go together, this team will face the risk of annihilation......"
"That's not right." Fei Rong took a sip of water and put the hot pie in his mouth: "In this place in the far north, no place and no one is absolutely safe, and you are no exception. Even if we don't go, who knows if we'll run into something else? No one can guarantee safety. ”
"In this case, I'll go and see first, you guys are on guard in place, at least it's safer. If you have an accident, crush this thing. An Xiaoyu didn't hesitate, and put a piece of ice crystal that sealed the mark of his divine soul into Fei Rong's hand.
Fei Rong nodded and said: "If you find something terrible and need manpower, you come back and take us with you, and if you don't come back for more than a day, we will retreat to the border." ”
"Good!"
An Xiaoyu agreed with Fei Rong's idea, quietly left the valley, and headed in one direction. The judgment of this direction is very simple, whether it is the place where they found the body before, or the place where it was attacked at the beginning, the appearance of the black shadow has a direction.
Extend the direction they came from, and you will be able to find an approximate location. Of course, An Xiaoyu doesn't know if this location is the other party's base camp, but it's better to have a direction than nothing. And the feeling in her heart told her that it should be about the same.
Moreover, An Xiaoyu drew a simple topographic map in her heart, turning the valley into a straight line, drawing a line from the place where the two of them were attacked, drawing a circle with a radius from the center of the circle to the place where the black shadow came, and at the intersection point, draw a circle with a radius to the place where it appeared, and the whole circle would be cut in half by the valley.
Then they found the body, and at the same time the place where it was attacked, happened to be the perpendicular point of the center of the circle in the direction of the valley.
Sure enough, not every accident is a real accident, the alien race chose the same place to attack the two teams passing near the valley, showing a purpose, and this purpose is to drive them away from the vicinity of the valley, of course, the method is a bit clumsy, and there is no silver three hundred taels here.
But Fei Rong is right, do you still want the alien race to know the art of war?
The actions of the alien race are more driven by the leadership of a few intelligent beings and most of the instincts, in such a place, even human technology cannot be connected instantly, and the books of the world have lost their effect, An Xiaoyu does not believe that they can communicate information with each other.
The alien race that shoots at the two teams is obviously an action team, and if they really have any plans nearby, it is normal to send an action team nearby, and the team's actions cannot be instructed by the center in time, this will happen.
An Xiaoyu left the valley and headed in the direction she had identified, and sure enough, not far away, she found several sneaky figures in the snow. Drawing the short knife in his hand, An Xiaoyu approached quickly without concealment.
These alien races soon discovered An Xiaoyu, and the law fluctuations on their bodies began to ripple under the panic. An Xiaoyu could feel that their law fluctuations were also very difficult, and it seemed that they couldn't exert their full strength, so it was no wonder that they could only do some sneak attacks.
The power of the sea of stars was released in an instant, forming a ring that pushed away all the power of the surrounding laws, and the methods of the alien race had been completely annihilated before they could get close to An Xiaoyu. An Xiaoyu swung two knives and slashed the two apparently young aliens, and the blades were placed on the necks of the remaining aliens.
“d&%*^#*&^%$^$&%&$*&^*($&^#%!!!”
"Speak human words!" An Xiaoyu's hand tightened, and the blood flowing out of the wound suddenly froze into ice slag, and the alien began to be honest, and said in the continental lingua franca that was not very fluent: "Don't kill me, I'll say anything!" I was forced! ”
"How do I know if what you're saying is true or false?" An Xiaoyu asked coldly.
"I don't even know if what I'm saying is true or not, how do you know?" The alien innocent said.
An Xiaoyu was full of black lines, and after asking, he knew that this alien race didn't know anything at all, it only knew that it was taken to the extreme north, through an extremely desolate area, and then came here through a certain space, and then what the boss said they did.
"Who's your boss? What is it doing? An Xiaoyu asked again.
"Our eldest is the village chief of our clan, and the other village chiefs, who brought us here and told us that as long as things are done well, we can have meat to eat every day when we go home, and they can also marry our daughters-in-law."
“……”
An Xiaoyu was really thundered by their old scam of 8,000 years ago, isn't this the usual trick used by those unscrupulous factory owners when they tricked rural children into going out to work for them? As soon as the upper lip touched the lower lip, the flatbread was quickly drawn, and when they were done, they would find that it was all fake.
"What are you village chief doing?"
"I don't know, our village chief said that there are a lot of treasures hidden in this place, and they went to dig up the treasures, and they brought all those strong races, and our bodies were too weak, so we were sent out to guard, and I don't know what they are doing."
"Came a lot of races? Which one is in the lead? ”
Interracial shook his head.
An Xiaoyu then asked a lot of questions, but it turned out that this guy and the people next to him have never gone back recently, or the alien race over there won't let them go back. The same is true of many of the alien squads that are guarding the area, and if they hadn't taken the dry food from those patrolmen before, I'm afraid they would still be starving.
With a sigh, Ann whispered; "If you want to blame, blame your village chief!"
The alien immediately wept bitterly, knelt down and begged, "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! I don't want to kill either! ”
An Xiaoyu shook her head: "Don't you know yet?" Now that you are on the battlefield, on the battlefield, there is no mercy, only human and alien, whether you want to kill me or not, whether I want to kill you or not, in the end we are all the only ones who can survive. ”
Maybe it's because it's almost dead, the IQ of this alien race suddenly went online for a moment, and after hearing An Xiaoyu's words, he suddenly realized: "Ah, that's the case......"
"Poof!"
