"And after capturing this dark shadow, we have also asked biologists to compare the known large creatures in the universe, and we have not been able to find creatures of similar size and shape. Nine times out of ten, it must be some new type of unknown device. ”

"Artefacts?" After Zhou Lao muttered, he asked Sif with a strange expression, "What are the man-made objects put on this planet for?" Except for us humans, there are no other civilizations in the universe that are interested in this planet, and this planet is open to all human beings, which is not like a manifestation of wanting to make trouble on this planet. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Lao's puzzled voice had just fallen, and another soft sound came out.

It was Jack, who was walking out of the room with a stack of contracts in his hand. His eyes were firmly fixed on the picture that jumped out of the tablet in Zhou Lao's hand.

Judging by his expression, he seemed to have thought of something.

Zhou Lao only frowned slightly, and then asked him curiously, "Do you recognize?" ”

"Not really!" Jack shook his head, "It's just a legend from an ancient time." ”

"Legends?" After muttering, Old Zhou raised his hand to him, "Tell me about it." ”

Jack opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he couldn't help laughing again, "Speaking of which, this legend is still from Zhou Lao's Huaxia clan." ”

"Oh!" Zhou Lao raised his eyebrows, and a more interested expression appeared on his face.

Jack no longer sold Guanzi, and hurriedly continued, "In the ancient legend of your Huaxia clan, there is such a saying, the wind follows the tiger, and the cloud follows the dragon. ”

"What does that mean?" Lin Xiao's attention had already been attracted by Jack, and as soon as his words fell, Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xiao's reaction made Jack pause, and then he looked at Lin Xiao with a little amusement, "Mr. Lin Xiao, this is the ancient language of your Huaxia clan, you can't understand it?" ”

Lin Xiao knew that Jack wasn't laughing at him. It's just that he still bowed his head in shame.

That's right, he really didn't understand it yet. Although he is a real Chinese, since his mother's disappearance, he has devoted himself to how to reach the star of Azazel, how to become a warrior, and how to increase his strength.

In fact, according to the cultural level, in addition to literacy, Lin Xiao is completely illiterate! In Tianwu Academy, he didn't take a cultural class.

Old Zhou also showed a strange expression at this time.

Lin Xiao can recognize oracle bone inscriptions, which are ancient times, and it stands to reason that the cultural level will definitely not be low. But he didn't understand this sentence at this time?

Even Li Ling rolled his eyes at Lin Xiao, "Illiterate! ”

After scolding, she explained to Lin Xiao, "This sentence means that every time a tiger appears, it is accompanied by a strong wind, and every time a divine dragon appears, it will be surrounded by clouds and mist!" ”

"Huh?" Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed.

Zhou Lao asked Jack strangely, "You mean to say that there is a dragon orbiting the planet Azazel?" ”

"No, no!" Jack is much more outgoing than he was when he was on Mel. At this time, he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand to Zhou Lao, "I just suddenly thought of this sentence." ”

The others frowned only slightly.

As early as when Shandar Star, Lin Xiao had already heard them come to a conclusion, although since the opening of the era of the Great Universe, the Huaxia clan has been desperately looking for the trace of the so-called dragon, but until now, the entire human race has been all over every corner of the universe, and no trace of the dragon has been found.

Naturally, no one would think that this is really a dragon now.

"In my opinion, this is the same as what Sif Saintess said, it should be some kind of latest technological creation." Jack then added.

Zhou Lao nodded, turned off the tablet in his hand, lowered his head and thought carefully for a long time before Zhou Lao said to the staff beside him, "Yun contact the headquarters and let the technicians pay attention to the situation of Azazel Star at any time." ”

"I don't know what it is, but someone must be trying to do something to Azazel. Our exploration this time must not be affected in any way. ”

The staff member immediately nodded.

Then, he looked at the other person, "Help me get Appa over!" ”

When the staff heard this, they ran away as fast as they could.

"Jack!" Then, he turned to Jack again, "There are missions of your Neothemon Cult in every human base on this planet, please contact the priest and let them check what is going on with the counterattack coming from the surface of the planet." ”

"The New God Cult's intelligence network is the most extensive on the planet, so I can only ask for your help."

"Don't worry!" Jack smiled and nodded, "This exploration mission was originally a joint effort between the New God Sect and Elder Zhou's group, so you just have to tell me if you have anything." The bishop has long given orders, everything is up to you. ”

"Thank you!" Zhou Lao hurriedly nodded. Then he turned around and waved his hand at the others, "Okay guys, this series of weird things shouldn't be for us. As long as you take precautions, nothing should happen. Disperse and go about your own business. ”

The staff at the base dispersed as fast as they could.

A few people quickly gathered around Zhou Lao, and Lin Xiao noticed that these people gathered around Zhou Lao, that is, the people who were in the room before.

At the same time, Old Zhou beckoned to Lin Xiao again.

Lin Xiao understood that these people were only the main persons in charge of this exploration mission.

Everyone in the group entered the house, even the candidate saint-elect of the Neogod Cult called Sif.

When everyone had entered the house, Zhou Lao asked the group of people who were surrounding the map before, "How did you discuss it?" ”

"Tomorrow's itinerary is discussed, and what we should do after that depends on what we can find out tomorrow."

When one of them reported to Zhou Lao, the other person clicked on the air in the middle of the room. A virtual map full of markers sprang out. It was exactly the same as what Lin Xiao saw when he first came in.

Just when another one wanted to explain to Zhou Lao, Zhou Lao took the lead in raising his hand and waved it at them.

Instead, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Xiao, "Take a good look at the contract that Jack has prepared, and explain the general situation to you while looking at me." ”

Jack handed over the contract in his hand to Lin Xiao.

"I'll come and see!" Lin Fengwei took the contract from Lin Xiao's hand in the next second. Wu Huan also came to her side and looked at the contract carefully.

Zhou Lao smiled, but didn't say anything. Just turned around and pointed to the virtual hologram that popped up. clicked on one of the places with a red cross, and the place that was pointed by Zhou Lao was immediately enlarged.

Lin Xiao could clearly see that that place was the 'Stonehenge' he had seen in the photo before.

Of course, through the holographic virtual image, Lin Xiao could see this slate clearly.

"This location is less than a mile away from our current base. It was discovered by chance a month ago by a group of exploration teams from our group. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately paused, "You mean, you discovered this ruin first, and then established this human base?" ”

Zhou Lao smiled and nodded.

Lin Xiao was even more puzzled at this time, "This is not right, based on the situation of the Azazel Star that I investigated, it means that after the human race establishes a gathering place, it can slowly advance the exploration of this planet." Without this base, how can you find that ruins? From what I know about this planet, the nearest human settlement here is at least a thousand kilometers. ”

"And there is no record that humans have been able to explore more than 1,000 kilometers from the gathering place."

Obviously, he didn't expect Lin Xiao to be so aware of the situation on this planet. After a slight pause, Zhou Lao smiled, "It seems that you have been preparing for a long time for what you are going to do on this planet." ”

"I've been preparing for ten years!" Lin Xiao did not hide it, and decisively told the truth. Then he smiled coldly at Zhou Lao, "So old man, you'd better not fool me this time." As long as you sincerely help me, I will do my best to do what you want to do. ”

I didn't expect to get this result, Zhou Lao was stunned for a while.

After he returned to normal, the wanton expression on his face disappeared, and after nodding his head to Lin Xiao very solemnly, he continued to Lin Xiao solemnly, "A month ago, our company's expedition team on this planet retrieved a high-energy energy reaction in the area where the ruins were located, and then calmed down. And all the alien beasts and other creatures in the area of the ruins have also disappeared. ”

"That's why we've been able to advance to the ruins and establish the outpost before the alien beasts on this planet reunite."

"Boom!" Zhou Lao's words had just fallen, and immediately a roar came into the house.

Hearing this sound, Lin Xiao didn't feel anything unusual, it was just a very ordinary cannon roar.

From the information he had gathered before, he already knew that the reason why the exploration of Azazel had been progressing very slowly was because the alien beasts on Azazel were particularly powerful.

And it often has some peculiar abilities that can always make human warriors and mecha defenseless. On top of that, the ruins of Azazel are protected by some strange powers.

Far beyond the surface, there are all sorts of strange ruins and creatures all over the surface.

Now that the cannon was roaring, Lin Xiao knew casually that it must be the alien beasts of this planet that had launched an attack on this human base.

Everyone else paused, but soon returned to normal.

Zhou Lao shrugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly.
