Zhucheng is a frontline town in the southwest of China, a thick protective shield covers the sky, the protective shield is made of special materials, it is a strengthened version of the source power glass under the holy beast lake, even the emperor-level beast can not be easily broken.

From time to time, there are mecha patrols flying over Zhucheng, which is a sight that cannot be seen in the northern capital, because the northern capital, as one of the most important towns in northern China, has been swept by the army again and again, and now the small towns there are connected together, more like a city circle, rather than a lonely city deep into the enemy's interior like Zhucheng.

After a day's rest, early the next morning, Shen Chen dragged Ling Mochen, who had not woken up, to the city gate. In Bamboo City, there are only two ways to get out of the city, one is to have an official certificate of permission to go out of the city, and the other is to have the identity certificate of the elemental envoy.

As teachers and students of the Martial Arts Academy of Beidu University, Ling Mochen and the two naturally have the proof of the Elemental Envoy, which is a card, and when you swipe it on a specific machine, it will show the number of his Elemental Envoy, as well as relevant information.

There is a platoon of soldiers stationed at the gate of Zhucheng to the outside world, and two crimson mecha stand on both sides like door gods, this kind of mecha is from the same origin as the Apocalypse mecha that Shen Chen drove before, but these crimson mecha can also be controlled by ordinary people, and their combat power is relatively weak.

Mecha also have a difference in strength, not to mention the Apocalypse, there are very few people who have super A-level mechas, and they are all tailored to the driver, and the colors, specifications, and weapon combinations are also slightly different.

Next is the A-order mecha, collectively known as "Longteng" in Huaguo, these mecha are considered high-end combat power, usually silver, nearly nine meters in height, and with heavy firepower, the driver can be an ordinary person, or an elemental envoy, of course, only the elite of the elite can fully exert the strength of these dragon mechas.

B-rank mecha is the mainstay, this is also the world's highest strength mecha that can be mass-produced, Huaguo's B-rank mecha is called "Fengming", is the main attack mecha, the whole body is crimson, nine meters, large number, strong firepower, known as the cornerstone of the country.

Huaguo's C-rank mecha is called "Flying Tiger", reconnaissance mecha, is the world's most powerful mecha of the same level, and even the B-order mecha of some countries can not compare, its color is generally yellow-green, the height is more than seven meters, the yellow-green paint is because the Flying Tiger mecha often performs those raid missions, which is more convenient for it to hide, and the shorter height of the mecha is for its flexibility.

The mecha that has really been popularized in the army is those black mecha D-rank mecha "greedy wolf", the greedy wolf mecha is generally more than eight meters high, this kind of mecha does not have too high requirements for the driver's physical fitness, and the operation is simple, a simple training can be learned, this is also the main mecha in the war between humans and alien beasts.

And the two in the army guarding the gate of Zhucheng are Fengming mechas, which are probably also for deterrence and prevent people from making trouble.

"There's a lot of elemental envoys these days."

Soldier A looked at another person who took out the Elemental Messenger and said to Soldier B, who was sitting on the Fengming mecha next to him.

"I heard that there is Cui Yuanzhu in the West Bamboo Forest recently, so these people are like cats smelling fishy, and they are all here."

Soldier B said as he bit a bamboo leaf and looked at the passing elemental envoys.

"Cui Yuanzhu? That's a good thing! We haven't seen each other very often! I said why can't I see them lately, it turns out that I went to dig up treasures. Damn, how can such a thing not be our turn! ”

Soldier A frowned and said angrily.

"There's no way there are only a few places, who let our team lose in the last game."

Soldier B spat out the bamboo leaf and sighed.

"But the West Bamboo Forest seems to be a little closer to the mountain lord."

Soldier A lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"It's not just close, it's just a wall! So now, those people only dare to wander around the periphery, for fear that they will accidentally put their lives here. ”

Soldier B pulls a bamboo leaf from the towering bamboo next to him and puts it in his mouth.

"That guy hasn't seen it in over fifty years......"

Soldier A's voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally fell silent.

"Yes, it's all thanks to the Major General."

……

Listening to the discussion between the two soldiers, Shen Chen frowned.

[It's a bit odd, even the army is alarmed, they don't usually go out without war.] 〕

"Documents!"

"Oh, oh, oh, what about this!"

Shen Chen hurriedly handed over the documents.

……

The gate was a small hole in a steel fortress, and the only light in the long tunnel illuminated the dim road ahead.

Shen Chen looked at the steel tunnel, and there was an obvious crack on both sides of the tunnel.

[This should be able to be merged, when a strange beast attacks, close the switch, and the walls on both sides will quickly close, and even if a strange beast rushes into the tunnel, it will be crushed into meat sauce.] 〕

The length of the tunnel is nearly 100 meters, and even at the speed of the hurricane element, it takes three or four seconds to run, which is enough time for the personnel on duty to react.

Walking out of the tunnel, the first thing was the dazzling sunlight, raising his hand to block it, and then his eyelids kept blinking, and Shen Chen gradually adapted to the sudden sunlight. Shen Chen's first feeling outside the city is big! And then there was desolation.

As far as the eye can see, the open space of several thousand meters is full of thick white snow, and there are several tenacious bamboos growing in the snow, and there are layers of hoarfrost hanging on its branches and leaves, and there are only these few bamboos on the huge land, just like a veteran who struggles to stand up from the battlefield where there are still chess pieces burning after a big war.

The snow covered the past, although the war had stopped for decades, but seeing this desolate land, Shen Chen's heart couldn't help but tighten, as if he had been clutched.

"Alas~"

Shen Chen sighed and followed Ling Mochen as he walked from the newly stepped path.

In the new era, there are not many towns like Bamboo City that often fight with foreign beasts, and the reason why Bamboo City is often attacked by foreign beasts is because its location is completely out of the main control of human beings, whether it is from Tibet Province or Sichuan Province, it is extremely far away, like a nail inserted into the enemy, and its only connection with the outside world is the air and iron that is not affected by foreign beasts.

For the side of Zhuxiong Mountain, Zhucheng is like a fish bone, like a fish in the throat, which no one is happy with, so under the greeting of the former mountain owner of Zhuxiong Mountain, what he didn't say, just one word, fight!

Hua Guo didn't want to fight, but in addition to the strategic significance of the location of Bamboo City, there was also the existence of a huge source crystal mine, so even if it was a war, Hua Guo could only bite the bullet, in the new era, the source crystal was too important.

Except for a truce in the middle of the war due to the death of the previous mountain lord of Mt. Takekuma, which lasted for nearly 100 years, this situation lasted until 60 years ago.

A major general of the previous Zhucheng Legion hit this mountain lord at the cost of his life, and the Zhucheng side was extremely sad and angry, and directly beat the Zhuxiong Mountain side back to the depths of the Bamboo Bear Forest, and after four years, many fierce wars broke out between the two sides, with heavy casualties, so that there was the possibility that the two sides could sit at the negotiating table, and they really couldn't afford to fight.

After the war stopped, Bamboo City gradually prospered, and now in addition to the source crystal mine, commerce has also gradually prospered, after all, the world's most beloved pet - the cat bear is produced here.

Several greedy wolf mecha patrolled around Zhucheng under the leadership of the Flying Tiger mecha, and the mecha in action was more shocking, except for the greedy wolf mecha, the others were able to fly, of course, flying was very energy-consuming, so under normal circumstances, you can still use your legs.

Walking through the desolate battlefield is like walking through the history of more than 400 years of Bamboo City, buried under the thick snow is the unyielding will of those ancestors, most of them are ordinary people with meager Yuan power, and they can't enter the D rank in their lifetime, but they are such ordinary people, but they use their flesh and blood to hold up a piece of the sky for Huaguo, and Bamboo City can be said to be made of their flesh and blood.

Several groups of people walked past one after another on the desolate land, and Shen Chen, who arrived at the bamboo bear forest opposite, couldn't help but look back, as if he saw the scene of the ancestors roaring in the broken mecha.

There is a stone road in the bamboo forest, the snow is neatly placed on both sides, it seems that someone often cleans it, and I don't know who built it, it has not been destroyed in so many wars, and the sunlight casts from among the bamboo leaves hanging high, and the dappled sunlight brings a touch of warmth to this cold weather.

At the end of the winding stone steps is a quaint stone monument, a gust of wind blows, the bamboo forest slowly shakes, and a few pieces of snow fall, smashing a small hole in the snowdrift on the ground. The quaint stele is a tombstone, and a piece of tender green bamboo grows out of the grave bag behind it, which looks quite spiritual.

The tomb is Liao Kai's tomb, this name Shen Chen has seen more than once in Zhucheng, and there is even a statue of him in the city center, he is the major general who hit the mountain lord with his own life.

Since the establishment of Bamboo City by the Bamboo City Legion, there have been two mountain lords in Bamboo Bear Mountain, the previous mountain master was a super A-level iron-eating beast, and the Bamboo City Legion laid the foundation of Bamboo City in its hands, and after that, this mountain lord also died after a few years due to his injuries.

Without the mountain lord's Bamboo Bear Mountain, the turmoil was repeated, and the Zhucheng Army took advantage of this to quickly consolidate the foundation, the nail in the middle of the 100,000 large area of this Chinese country.

Bamboo City has been stable for nearly a hundred years, and then there is a mountain owner in Bamboo Bear Mountain, this mountain owner is said to be the heir of the previous mountain owner, it happened to encounter a mature green spirit bamboo shoot, this is very difficult, the green spirit bamboo shoot is only three days of maturity, and its effect is greatly reduced if it is not mature, and it will transform once the maturity period passes, and become a green spirit bamboo that really has its own spiritual sense.

This mountain lord happened to meet it in these three days, and the cui spirit bamboo shoot has the title of becoming an emperor bamboo shoot, the previous mountain lord spent his whole life looking for such a heaven and earth spiritual object, but he didn't expect to let his son get it.

The new mountain lord swept the Bamboo Bear Mountain with a tough attitude, and retwisted them into a rope, and anyone who disobeyed will be killed! After the unification was completed, the first order it issued was to attack Bamboo City, and thus the centuries-old war of Bamboo City began.

Generations of ancestors have defended Bamboo City with their blood, and Major General Liao Kai was a world-renowned Super A-Order Elemental Envoy sixty years ago, and he was even called the most promising Elemental Envoy to ascend to the Holy Order in recent years by a certain Chinese Sage.

But it's a pity that in that battle, he used his life to hit the mountain lord of Bamboo Bear Mountain, and hit an emperor-level beast with a super A-level rank, this battle was shocked all over the world, this is the first S rank below the element to hurt the S rank above the record, although he paid for his life, but his record was recorded in history, and the whole world knows that there is such a major general with a fierce record.

After Major General Liao Kai died in battle, the sage of Huaguo, who had given him a very high evaluation before, came to Zhucheng, and the holy orders had their own agreement, and his arrival attracted the attention of all parties, not only on the human side, but also on the side of the human race, and the alien beasts and plants were also watched by countless eyes, if he made a rash move, he would definitely be attacked by a group.

The Sage of Huaguo didn't do that, he just asked for Major General Liao's bones from Zhuxiong Mountain, which is why the Zhucheng Legion would fight hard after Major General Liao's fall, in order to recapture the hero's bones.

His hero, my enemy.

Major General Liao's bones were not good-looking when they were returned, although the alien beast side had great respect for strength, but with those despicable people, Major General Liao's bones were missing a head, the most important part.

The Huaguo Sage was silent for a moment, and then lightly asked Zhuxiong Mountain to return Major General Liao's skull, as well as the beast that held his skull.

Bamboo Bear Mountain was flustered, their eyes looking at the sky from time to time, where they felt a few breaths that were beasts like them, but they were extremely powerful, making them want to kneel and tremble.

Give it to him.

It was an echo from the sky after a long time, and Bamboo Bear Mountain was silent again, and then the battered mountain lord walked out, the hair on the mountain lord's body was a large area of withered yellow, and at the same time there was a large wound between his chest, and his heart was almost visible, and it carried an equally tall iron-eating beast in its hand, which was its eldest son.

The Mountain Lord was silent and threw its eldest son at the Hua Sage, and at the same time took out a box from the space artifact, its eldest son had already been killed by its own hands, this was the last thing it could do, so as not to torture it.

The Huaguo Sage took the box with both hands, and as for the body of the eldest son of the mountain lord, he didn't even look at it, and let it roll down at his feet.

Opening the box, the aura of the originally peaceful Huaguo Sage suddenly exploded, and Major General Liao's skull was made into a wine glass.

The breath of the sage is not something that anyone can bear, the body below the B rank suddenly exploded, and the one below the S rank was also trembling and prostrate on the ground, and even the mountain lord gritted his teeth and barely supported it.

That's enough! So be it!

An old voice came from the sky, and then a soft force surged towards the mountain lord, helping it stabilize its shape, and a lot of the hair on its body directly returned to its original black and white color, which can be regarded as compensation from the Alien Beast Sage.

The Hua Guo Sage snorted coldly, and the trend of the mountain lord's injury recovery suddenly stopped, and the injuries it recovered were only less than half, and the voices in the sky were silent, and they acquiesced to the Hua Guo Sage's approach.

The momentum on the sage of Huaguo retracted, and he turned to leave, behind him was the mountain lord of Bamboo Bear Mountain whose lips had bitten blood, and the strange beasts that were still prostrate on the ground.

The Sage of Huaguo built a tomb for Major General Liao on the periphery of the Bamboo Bear Forest, and used his Yuan Force to build this stone staircase, Liao Kai once told him that his lifelong dream was to regain the original home for mankind. Burying him on the edge of this Bamboo Bear Mountain is also to hope that he can see the moment when the human counterattack in the future will be the first time.

This matter stopped, and the nearly ten terrifying auras in the sky left one by one, and the mountain lord of Bamboo Bear Mountain looked at the still yellow hair on his chest, and the corpse of his eldest son lying on the ground.

The mountain lord of Bamboo Bear Mountain roared loudly, and in a rage, it directly destroyed a small mountain, and it never appeared in the field of vision of humans again.

After that, the humans and Takekuma began negotiations.

This is also the reason why the tombstone of General Liao, which has stood for four hundred years, still exists, and this stone step and tombstone contain the power of the Holy Elemental Envoy.

Bowing in front of the tombstone, Shen Chen pulled Ling Mochen forward again, there was no fixed road next, and where to go could only rely on himself to find out.

The goal of the two is Cui Yuanzhu, but before that, you can see if there are some valuable beasts, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat!

Shen Chen gave up the plan to check the map, because Xiao Ao had already run ahead, and when he first came out of Bamboo City, Xiao Ao was still lazily lying on Ling Mochen's head, and he also looked sleep-deprived, but now it has been awakened by this vast world, and there is no sleepiness in his big eyes.

"Don't run that fast!"

Shen Chen dragged Ling Mochen, who was still in a daze, and hurriedly followed.
