Chapter 353: See the Trade Fair Again (2-in-1)
Just as the exploration team of the Thirteenth Division was slowly pulling along the branches of the World Tree, in the distance, a team of hidden elven scouts released a "hummingbird".
"Chirp!"
The pale blue bird, which was only a quarter the size of a palm, flapped its wings and almost like a bolt of lightning into the sky, flying towards the direction of the World Tree at great speed.
……
Court of the Elves.
The entire capital of the kingdom has entered a state of readiness, all the inhabitants have stopped entering and trading with each other, and the prosperous king has been slaughtered.
Heavily armed soldiers armed with weapons and patrolling non-stop, the starry outpost built on the branches of the world was crowded with people, and almost every five minutes, a "hummingbird" descended here.
"Fluttering!"
A hummingbird emerging from the mist landed on the platform of the starry outpost, and as soon as it twisted its head to comb its messy feathers, an elf grabbed it and skilfully removed the letter from its leg.
The letter was sealed, no one opened it, it was immediately sealed, and it was handed over to another person and quickly sent into the palace of the royal capital.
"Urgent! Urgent! ”
The herald shouted and shook the two teams of broken wings on his back, in the elves, there are a few lucky people who will give birth to wings, but because of their size, they are basically unable to fly, and can only barely glide, but they are good candidates for reconnaissance and transmission of news.
Shouting all the way and breaking through the door controls, the letter was quickly sent to the door of the palace and handed over to a third person to convey it.
By the time it fell into the hands of the Elf King, no more than three minutes had just passed.
"Check it out!"
Luo Jia handed the scroll of paper to the waiter and said.
"Yes."
The waiter obeyed the order, trotted open the scroll of paper, which was the color of the old parchment, and pasted it on an object that resembled a screen in the main hall, and the ministers immediately watched it.
The next moment, the magic lines on the screen lit up, and a beam of light first shone on the paper roll, then magnified and projected onto the screen.
Then, dense texts appeared, and even a brief picture!
The painting depicts a team of helicopters and cars rumbling forward!
"Hiss~"
There was a gasp in the hall!
Although I have received the news of the arrival of "life in another world" before, compared to humans who are similar to the body of the elves, it is obviously the airplane and car that are more shocking.
"This is probably a bird or beast from another world? This goes ...... Probably a beast with the same function as a pig-like beast? Merely...... It looks weird. ”
"That flag...... It's weird, but since there are flags, it means that they belong to the same kingdom - let's think of it as a kingdom for a moment. ”
The ministers were talking.
The hall was full of tension, but at the same time, there were also many elves with curious eyes, obviously, the civilization of another world was completely different from theirs.
As for the high priest of the sacrificial hall, Ailu, no one noticed, and there was something strange in her eyes when she looked at the pictures.
"The Great Priest? Did you find anything? A Wenchen standing next to her asked in a low voice.
Ai Lu withdrew her gaze, hesitated, and shook her head.
At this time, a battle priest stepped out, looked at the elven king on the throne, and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that their goal is very clear, it is our World Tree, in this case, it is absolutely impossible for us to dodge, sooner or later we will have to meet this group of strange visitors, I suggest that we should start early, we don't know anything about them, this is not a good thing." ”
"But the strength of this team is unpredictable, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to contact it rashly." One frowned.
Another voice said, "Didn't you get the message before?" In the other direction, it was observed that there were many scattered otherworldly beings infiltrating, this group of people had uneven strength, the whole was low, and there seemed to be no unified command, and after entering, they were always circling in the forest to hunt demonic beasts, perhaps, we could open a breakthrough from here. ”
This suggestion was immediately endorsed by many ministers.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the truth that one cannot be defeated in a hundred battles, and it is applicable everywhere.
After thinking for a moment, the Elf King opened his mouth and ordered: "For this otherworldly life team, continue to keep a secret observation, always inform them of their location, and do not act rashly, and at the same time, send a team to try to capture the scattered otherworldly beings in the other direction, capture the royal capital, and try to communicate!" ”
"Yes!"
……
……
Compared to the mighty, banner-waving, a pair of deliberately attracting the attention of the elven royal court, and the royal court where the whole city is on alert and has entered the highest state of alert.
Cheng Lin's three-person team was much more bland.
"Hum chirp~"
Loaded up part of the previous harvest with the huge nylon net he carried with him, and then fixed it on the back of the pig beast with a rope, and pulled it fiercely to confirm that it would not loosen, and then Gu Cheng let go of his hand.
Perhaps because the dragging action was too rude, the pig beast snorted a few times in dissatisfaction and protest, but after all, he still honestly became a porter.
"This beast is too docile, I really don't know how to survive."
Jiang Ye tightened the cuffs of his coat, took a blade of grass and fed it, and said with a confused expression.
Cheng Lin stood aside, smiling without saying a word.
Obviously, this pig beast is not wild, but domesticated, but, for some reason, it was caught by a giant eagle that went out hunting, and it was already injured when it fell to the ground.
"Could it be that there is an elven village nearby? Or rather...... Got an elf team lurking? ”
Cheng Lin thought in his heart, he was more inclined to the latter, limited by the serious interference of the communication method in the projection, the electronic communication equipment was basically scrapped, so he didn't know how the progress of the Thirteenth Division was, and he also didn't know if the two civilizations had come into contact.
"Let's hope there won't be conflict."
Cheng Lin muttered.
……
……
With the Pig Beast, the movement of the three people has become much easier.
Jiang Ye looked for the location of the treasure, Cheng Lin opened the way, Gu Cheng was in charge of logistics, the three of them cooperated more and more skillfully, and the harvest was also rising, probably because the area was too large, so I had never met anyone else.
Time passed quickly, and the sun had risen from the east to the mid-heaven.
Several people are also closer to the World Tree.
"This is it! Beneath that lake! The pointing of the copper needle is clear! ”
on the trees.
The pig beast stopped, and Jiang Ye squatted on the edge of the huge branch that could accommodate two cars side by side, looked down, and said.
The palm of her right hand is facing down, and at the end of the red rope, the old bronze needle is like a sword, straight down.
Below, there is a lake, the clear water, the reflection of turquoise, and if you look closely, there are many faint black shadows floating under the surface of the water.
"It should be some fish beasts, the strength is not strong, but in the water, it is more troublesome, first get rid of them, and then say, I'll rest, you're okay, right?"
Cheng Lin blinked, disconnected the "tentacles" that probed into the lake, and checked the spiritual energy reserves in his lower body, due to frequent battles, although he replenished it several times, now only half of the spiritual energy in his body was left.
After hesitating, Cheng Lin decided to meditate on the spot and resume his practice.
"Leave it to me," Gu Cheng laughed and said in a half-joking tone, "I'm very good at fried fish." ”
Cheng Lin nodded, walked straight to the corner, meditated cross-legged, and gathered most of his mind in his body, there were two people around him, and he could also relax his vigilance appropriately in his cultivation, so as not to be tense all the time.
On the other side, Gu Cheng, who was itching his hands, decisively turned on the fish bombing mode, aimed at the black shadow in the water, and threw the marbles to the bottom of the water, followed by a series of explosions of "boom".
The water splashed in all directions, the highest collapsed more than ten meters, and the entire lake was covered with white spray foam, and it took about two or three minutes to blow up before it stopped, and the two of them were preparing to go down to clean up the battlefield.
Suddenly, there was a flute in the woods!
The sound of the flute was as soft as the wind, quietly rising, drifting into his mind, bursts of tiredness tumbling up, Gu Cheng and Jiang Ye's bodies swayed slightly, and their eyelids closed as if they had stayed up for more than a dozen days and nights, falling into a state of some kind of sleep.
The pig beast even fell asleep with a puff.
Even Cheng Lin, who was meditating next to him, lowered his head and snored softly.
After a few moments, the flute stopped.
Several figures came out of the bushes not far away, these people were dressed in different clothes, their faces were covered with their faces, but they were not uniform, they kept a certain distance, but they came together, and they were a temporary group of casual cultivators!
At this time, one of them was putting away the flute in his hand and said with a smug smile: "How is the effect?" I'm okay with 50% of this harvest, right? ”
The other sneered: "Fifty percent? You're really embarrassed to say that these three people, even if we don't need you, we can win it together. ”
"It's not interesting for you to say that, so it's as easy as me? Do you want me to wake them up now, and then you go up and fight? The young man with the flute said angrily.
"Okay, don't make any noise, things are divided according to the rules, let's get it first, I always feel that they don't sleep well, everyone hurry up and kill them, it's safe." An older casual cultivator said.
"Two men killed, the nun...... Do you want to ......?"
One proposed, and everyone's eyes lit up.
"I'll check the color." A person ran over with a smile on his face, came to Jiang Ye's side, and stretched out his hand to pull the mask, however, the next moment, his outstretched hand was empty!
"Oops! She's pretending! This person shouted, and at the same time, Gu Cheng, who was lying on the ground next to him, also opened his eyes, and with tiredness, a handful of marbles spilled over, forcing these people back.
"Let's go together! Kill them! "There is a casual cultivator shouting.
However, just as the group drew their weapons and unleashed their abilities, preparing to pounce upwards, screams rang out from the crowd.
"Ahh
I saw that the hands and wrists of the young man holding the flute were silently cut off by a snow-bright sword light, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.
With that, a sword tip popped out of the chest of a man beside him, and a stream of blood spurted out of the wound.
He gurgled twice in his throat, tried his best to turn his head, and saw Cheng Lin's expressionless face, as well as the pair of extremely clear eyes on his face, without the slightest sleepiness!
"The second."
Cheng Lin spit out the word softly, his voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, making them shudder.
"Kill him!"
One person shouted and pounced, but Cheng Lin just turned into a phantom, and the combination of the acceleration effect of the wind traveler and the "body control" made his close movement speed reach an extremely high level, if he faced a third-grade monk, he might not have much advantage, but in the face of this group of first- and second-grade loose cultivators, it was really as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
After the experience of "Zhu You" and "Han Lun", Cheng Lin rarely left any strength in his moves, and every sword was a killing move, this group of loose cultivators was still fiercely supported at first, but after Cheng Lin killed the fifth, the rest finally collapsed!
The remaining two or three people threw the ability indiscriminately almost like crazy, and then turned around and ran without looking, they understood that this was hitting the iron plate, and at the same time there was great resentment in their hearts, they didn't understand, it was also a loose cultivation, how could the other party be so strong?
And so that a group of them were powerless?
"The Fifth ......"
Cheng Lin put away his sword, looked at the limp corpse, and then looked at the scattered cultivation who fled to the distance, frowned slightly, and then got up lightly, wearing the title of Wind Journeyer, and chased the past into the reckless dense forest.
He clearly heard the conversation of this group of people, and from any point of view, he had no reason to let this group of people go.
Unlike Gu Chengjiangye's casual cultivation, this group of people is extremely vicious, and staying behind will only be a disaster.
After chasing a few hundred meters, Cheng Lin easily solved the two of them, and by the way, he scavenged them, harvested some ordinary materials, and put them in the initial space.
"There's one left, hey, that's really fast."
Cheng Lin raised his eyes to look at the last person, but was surprised to find that this person was almost disappearing from his field of vision.
"Could it be a speed cultivator?"
Cheng Lin was puzzled, but he still chased after him, he didn't know how far he had chased, the distance between the two had not decreased, but increased, and he completely disappeared from Cheng Lin's field of vision.
"Whew."
Stopped, Cheng Lin let out a breath, even if he was a little tired from running like this, he used his tentacle ability to explore forward for a while, but he didn't find any trace of that person, it seemed that he did run.
"It's a pity." Cheng Lin sighed lightly, but it was acceptable, killing only one left, I believe it was enough to make the remaining lucky ones have a lifelong shadow.
Shaking his head and resting briefly, Cheng Lin prepared to return the same way, however, at this moment, his ears moved, and he suddenly raised his head and looked not far away from the sky.
I saw that a tiny light blue shadow rushed into the dense forest from the sky like an arrow and disappeared!
"Hummingbirds?"
Cheng Lin was surprised.
If he was not mistaken, it seemed to be a bird used by the elven army to carry messages, and he had seen it many times in the city of Krum during the deduction, and he was very impressed.
"Wild? Still is...... Domesticated? ”
"If it's the latter, could it be that there are elven troops hiding nearby?"
Cheng Lin's heart flickered, his eyes moved, and after a little thought, he carefully dived in the direction where the hummingbird fell.
He was in dire need of information right now, and if he could meet an elven soldier, he might be able to try to talk.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll just tie one up and ask." Cheng Lin calculated.
Unfolding the "body control", his body is like a tanuki, silently jumping between the trunks, and when he gets closer, he closes his eyes and uses the "tentacles" to explore, but to his surprise, the tentacles are not found.
"Did I explore in the wrong direction, or did they hide it too well?"
Cheng Lin frowned, but he was unwilling, he just changed his direction, and his spirit condensed into a bunch to explore the past.
100 meters, 500 meters, 800 meters......
In his mind, the images coming back from the tentacles were messy and broken, monotonous and boring, except for the tree or the tree, in this case, if he didn't pay attention to it, even if someone was hiding nearby, he couldn't see it at all.
Just as Cheng Lin was about to cut off the tentacles and change directions, suddenly, the image in his mind changed:
The tentacles seemed to pass through a bush, and then suddenly it became clear that there was a clearing in front of them, and there, there were six figures sitting cross-legged!
Not elves, but people!
"Loose cultivation again?"
Cheng Lin was stunned, and when he looked closely, he saw that the six people were dressed differently, and they all wrapped themselves very tightly, kept a certain distance from each other, sat cross-legged in a circle, and there were some things in the middle, as if they were talking about something, it looked like they were ......
"A trade fair?"
This picture clearly reminded Cheng Lin of the trade fair in the last frozen soil projection.
It's just that last time it was a big pit planned by Zhu You, but I don't know what the nature of this one is.
"It's a pity that I can't hear it, so I have to get closer."
Cutting off the tentacles and opening his eyes, Cheng Lin immediately made a decision, he lightened his body and approached that side, beyond the limit of ordinary people's hearing, and finally, after he approached a certain distance, he heard a voice.
It's the two casual cultivators who are participating in the transaction talking.
One of them was holding a strange spirit plant flower in his hand and was introducing:
“…… This is what I collected in this projection, you see, there is soil underneath, it is all fresh, I tried to cut it out a small piece myself, ate it, and found that it can improve blood qi, eat a little, and the whole body will be hot, and the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy will be greatly improved when I cultivate, how about it? Does anyone want it? ”
One of the people sitting next to him hesitated, "Can I try it?" ”
“……”
"How do you know the effect if you don't try?"
"Okay...... But you can only taste a little. The seller finally compromised, pulled a little off with a distressed face, and handed it over.
The man took it, and after a while, the exposed skin instantly turned red, like a boiled prawn, and it was obvious that the blood qi had increased significantly.
"Look, it works well, right?" The seller laughed.
"How can it be effective, this is too little, it can't taste the effect at all, or you can give me another bite?"
"Do you want to buy it?"
"If I don't buy it, I'll taste it." The man said with a scowling face.
Seeing that the blue tendons on the forehead of the seller below were bursting out, not far away, Cheng Lin, who was hiding in the bushes, was confused.
He frowned, pondering.
"This conversation...... Why is it so familiar? Like, I heard it not so long ago? ”
Cheng Lin buried his head in thought, and the next moment suddenly remembered, this scene happened at the frozen soil projection fair, and the process was almost exactly the same as this time!
The last time it was "tasted" was a bronze tree.
If you think about it, the voices of the people who proposed the tasting on both occasions were extremely similar......
Cheng Lin breathed tightly, and suddenly looked at the underwhelming buyer, his eyes changed.
"It's you, it's definitely right, it's you twice, right?!"
