Sixty-eighth: The Conspiracy Emerges
The third line of defense is located at the foot of a camel peak, bordering the peaks on both sides, blocking the entire entrance to the mountain, and at the top of the two peaks, there are two huge fortresses, the whole line of defense is built, a steel fortress, comparable to the battle city.
However, the battle city was the frontier position ten years ago, and later the front was pushed forward, and it was transferred to the transit materials, although it is still majestic, but it is still a little less evil!
These three lines of defense are different, located here for more than ten years, has been a first-line fortress to defend against the impact of star beasts, the style of the city and the mental state of the personnel, it is different from the battle city, there is no chamber of commerce here, all supplies should be provided by the military quartermaster.
And the city has always maintained a state of combat readiness, so it is rare to see idle people, etc., the soldiers who pass by, all of them are not leaving their bodies, and they are angry, even the logistics personnel are also full of wind and frost, and they are warriors of a hundred battles!
"Brother Jiang, Brother Feng, I'm back!"
"How?"
"Alas! Don't mention it, the Quartermaster Department still has the same set of rhetoric, saying that there are too many materials that have been shipped recently, and there will not be so many people to receive them for a while, so let's continue to wait! ”
"That's going to be the case! What about the others? ”
"It's all the same as us, Brother Feng, you said, what the hell are the people in Xiaocheng doing, they didn't say to accept it, they didn't say they wouldn't accept it, they calculated so many every day, and they dragged us along, what kind of thing is this!"
"Rat, don't worry, let the brothers go out and inquire again, and see if anything has happened in the recent third line of defense!"
"Yes, I'll go!"
After saying that, the rat left the house, leaving only Jiang Chen and Long Xiaofeng.
"Brother Long! This is my lack of consideration, and I have delayed my brothers! ”
"Brother Jiang, what are you talking about, I also agreed to this mission, besides, it's not that I can't hand in the task now, it's just a few days late!"
"But it's been dragging on like this, which makes me very uneasy!"
"Brother Jiang, don't worry, within the third line of defense, it is still very safe, and it will be fine!"
Not long after the rat left the room, Jiang Chen also walked out, he really didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't help much, so he could only come out and walk around by himself!
Walking alone on the streets of this line of defense, it really has a different flavor, this No. 3 line of defense, although it is a defensive fortress, but food, clothing, housing and transportation, these basic living facilities are still available, and there are mercenaries here, most of them are after completing military service, and they are unwilling to accept the control, so they are attached to the logistics department, and they are barely considered mercenaries.
Jiang Chen walked around all the way, and he also felt a little tired, so he casually found a tavern to rest, it happened that this tavern was also a place where information gathered, and it was very convenient for him to inquire about the news.
Ordered a pot of old wine, a few side dishes, and then found a window and sat down, the tavern was noisy, thanks to Jiang Chen's already Linghai realm, he could hear it clearly when he spread his spiritual sense.
"Hey...... You say, what's going on lately? How could there be so many mercenaries? ”
"Who knows! I heard that I received some escort mission! A group of rookies, that's it! ”
"I think it's more than that, you say, will it be for Baoshan?"
"Hahaha...... Come on! Just by them? ”
"That's it, Baoshan is not, whoever wants to go can go there, just like them, it's okay to go around the defense area, enter the mountain? Don't be kidding, these thousands of miles of mountains are not a place to play home! ”
Everyone in the tavern, after hearing the man's words, burst into laughter, and then was overshadowed by the cacophony of words.
"By the way, have you heard that the Styx came out of the mountains?"
"It's really fake, the Tiger Regiment has let it out, if he doesn't hand over the secret treasure he obtained in the treasure mountain, he won't want to take half a step out of the mountains!"
"Yes! Are you looking at the wrong person, the mad tiger of the Tiger Regiment, but the strong man of the Spirit Sea Realm, I heard that Xiao Yan'er respects him for three points, he said that he wants to keep people, no one dares to intercede for Mingdi! ”
"Hey! You know what! Yesterday afternoon, I was at the scene, the dark and full of anger, bloody battle Tiger Regiment, eight peak masters of the Qi Sea Realm, not only cut them all under the knife, even the Crazy Tiger himself, also almost fell, if it wasn't for the last smiling Buddha to come forward, I'm afraid I won't hear the three words of the Tiger Regiment in the future,"
Hearing the man's words, the tavern suddenly fell silent, and he gasped.
After a long time, someone continued: "I remember that I haven't broken through the Spirit Sea Realm yet, right? ”
"Yes! What do you say is wrong with this world, in just two years, how can there be frequent demons! , then Wang Xiaobai won't talk about it, he has been famous for a long time, and now he has broken through the spiritual sea, and he is even more fierce and powerful, and he is in the limelight for a while."
"Yes, yes, yes, and the smiling Buddha, who has also been famous in the past two years, is terrifying in practicing kung fu, and it is difficult to meet opponents in the first line of defense!"
"I heard that there was also one on the other side of the battle city, and his cultivation was not high, but when he went out of the first mission, he subdued a green wolf and came back!"
"Go, go, go! Isn't it just a beast, who is qualified, and the three of them will be mentioned first. ”
"Listen to me, every time there is a great world, there will be demons, not only our Xiaocheng boundary, Luancheng, Qianmu City, and Muhibiscus City, there are many peerless murderers, plus this Baoshan, not long ago in the secret realm of the East China Sea, this is a sign of the great world!
"Hey! Old man, you came to brag about your trigrams again, but unfortunately no one believed it! Hahaha......"
Hearing that the tavern was full of ridicule, the old man who had just spoken was not angry, he drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, shook his head and got up and walked out!
"The East China Sea is falling, the merman is out, the blood is thousands of miles, the treasure land is falling, the world will come out, and the sky will be split for a hundred miles!"
As the old man's figure went away, the words in his mouth also drifted away with the wind, Jiang Chen sat by the window, looking at the distant figure, a little confused, the back was so familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it!
After sitting in the tavern for a while, and hearing no more useful news, he got up and went out.
As soon as I returned to my residence, I saw Yiyi with a green wolf, ready to go out.
"Brother Jiang, you're back! Brother, they're in the living room! ”
"Okay, are you going out?"
"Uh-huh! My brother asked me to call Uncle Tian back! ”
"Alright, you can go quickly! Look at the green wolf and don't let it run around! ”
"I see!"
Jiang Chen walked all the way through the corridor and saw that there were already many people gathered in the living room.
"Brother Jiang! You're back! ”
"Well, it's all there! Why did the task get over? ”
"Brother Jiang, sit down, we're discussing this!"
"The Quartermaster Department has just come to inform you, and tomorrow morning, you will be able to calculate the supplies!"
"Oh, what a good thing! It seems that tomorrow we can go back! ”
"This!" But when he saw Long Xiaofeng, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak.
Jiang Chen seemed to have expected it, and said calmly: "Brother Long! It's okay! Do the brothers want to enter Baoshan? ”
"Brother Jiang, you know it too?"
"Now, I'm afraid the battle city will come,
All mercenaries, you know! ”
"This thing! Alas! Brother Jiang, you may not know that when I broke through the Qi Sea Realm, I was also in this No. 3 line of defense! ”
"Oh ......! Something to do with that treasure mountain? ”
"I'm not sure about this, when I first came here to change the guard, I also strayed into the mountains, and then encountered a fierce beast chasing and killing, by chance, broke into a mountain forest, and got the opportunity there, only to break through the air sea mirror, but I didn't think too much at the time, and after breaking through, I fled back to the defense line, just the rat, came back and told me the rumors in the city, I have a hunch, it should be that dense forest was discovered!"
Jiang Chen looked at the other people seated, they were all silent, smiled and said, "What does Brother Long mean, do you want to go in and have a look again?" ”
Long Xiaofeng looked at Jiang Chen with some shame and said: "Brother Jiang, I know that I am not authentic in doing this, but since that breakthrough, for so many years, my cultivation has not been able to advance an inch, I know that it is because I have absorbed too many low-grade star stones, and I will be in this Qi Sea Realm for the rest of my life, but according to him, she is more talented than me, and for so many years, I have been providing her with medium-grade star stones for cultivation, and she will definitely be able to go further than me in the future, this time I have such an opportunity, I want to fight for her!" ”
Looking at Long Xiaofeng, who had a firm gaze, Jiang Chen looked at the others and said, "What about you! ”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the rat, who was more familiar with him on weekdays, replied for everyone: "Brother Jiang, we are all stuck in this physical training realm, it has been several years, if there is no chance, we will rely on the task reward, those star stones, want to break through the Qi Sea Realm, and we don't know the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, so we also want to go and see!" ”
Looking at the rat who was ashamed and lowered his head, Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder, straightened his somewhat crooked figure, and said with a serious face: "What are you doing with your head down, raise it, what's wrong with wanting to fight for the opportunity, what is there to be ashamed of, since you have entered the cultivation gate, you are fighting with the heavens and people, if you don't even dare to snatch the opportunity, what kind of cultivation is there to talk about!" ”
"Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder, asked him to stand up, and then turned to Long Xiaofeng and said, "Brother Long, since Yiyi calls me big brother, then she is my sister-in-law, help her seize the opportunity, of course, I also have a share!" ”
When Long Xiaofeng heard Jiang Chen's words, he was also moved, holding Jiang Chen's hand, he didn't know what to say!
Looking at the current situation, if you want to enter that Baoshan, there are not only the local mercenaries on the No. 3 defense line, but also the mercenaries from the battle city who escorted the goods, and the Xiaocheng people who don't know what to do.
Among the people, Long Xiaofeng also came to the No. 3 defense line, and he had some understanding of the situation in the mountains, and of course, he was the one to introduce the specific situation of these mountains.
These three lines of defense, the mountains defended, according to Long Xiaofeng, are left over from antiquity, in the age of the earth, human beings have also developed and lived, and then the earth entered the era of wandering, the tides surged, the plates moved, and the mountains were raised a lot.
After the human race retreated to the dungeon, because there was no human activity, it was occupied by the star beasts, ten years ago, although a large attack on the mountain once, but it was only through the periphery, and did not go into the depths, and then the defense line was established, and only mercenaries and exploration team members entered, but there was still a map of the periphery that had been probed.
However, the location of the treasure mountain, but not in the periphery, when Long Xiaofeng was chased by the fierce beast, panicked, and went deep into the inner perimeter at least 100 miles, so looking for Baoshan, this 100-mile road is the most dangerous!
