Ma Xiaotian glanced at Jin Ling'er and continued: "I can't move forward now, so I climb all the way up, until I climb to a height of more than 2,000 meters, and now I can't see the appearance of the fierce spirit Jedi outside the sky. Eight [〈(?一中{〈文网 })?. 〕８?１}Ｚ］>．? C)O?M] But when I was climbing, I vaguely saw that the center of it was a huge pit with a diameter of more than 100 meters, and it was crawling with blood spirit roots all around, and I couldn't see the bottom at a glance. ”

"Perhaps, this is the root cause of our probe's inability to figure out the extraterrestrial Jedi." Tong Yonghao interjected.

Ma Xiaotian nodded: "That's true, if we want to enter the middle of the Silver Dragon Mountain Range, we must pass through the Cicada Valley, which is a real giant insect paradise. ”

Hearing the Giant Insect Heaven, the faces of everyone present changed slightly. Those giant insects that are tens of meters long and hundreds of meters long make people shudder when they think about it.

Ma Xiaotian said: "I also used to go all the way west in the ancient city of Bayannuoer, across the Yinlong Mountain Range, and to the west of the Big 6. The population is extremely sparse, and towns are even rarer. Most people live in the wilderness in the form of tribes. But I had some terrifying mutations there. If you're interested, I can take you there. ”

Tong Yonghao smiled bitterly and said, "Let's keep our Han city first, the five cities of the empire near Yinlong Mountain have been gradually abandoned in the past twenty years. I'm afraid that in another three or five years, even six or seven cities such as Tailing County and Yulou Market will be attacked by the Blood Spirit Root, so it is important to keep the existing cities first. ”

Ma Xiaotian stood up, he looked at Tong Yonghao with a smile: "You are really good, you don't have to come back if your county magistrate is called 'Big Belly Garden', I, Ma Xiaotian, appointed you as this county magistrate, I see who dares to disagree!" ”

Tong Yonghao was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and waved his hand: "No, I can't do this errand......"

Unexpectedly, Ma Xiaotian glared: "Although I, Ma Xiaotian, like to act rashly, I am also a person with clear grievances, and I never mess around when I do things, so this matter is settled." ”

Ling Yu said: "Grandpa Ma, this matter is not important, what matters is how to keep this county seat." What we do next is up to you. ”

Ma Xiaotian laughed: "That's right, but I don't like to use these brains, you little babies are all Chu Tianlan's subordinates, then I'll play with you for a few days and be your thug." Hehe. ”

With a powerhouse of Ma Xiaotian's level, it is the Nine Heavens Empire, and Ling Yu dares to pick it. He didn't want to, though. He understood that Ma Xiaotian just wanted to go to various cities with them, and Ma Xiaotian still hadn't given up on finding Ma Hai, the god of war.

Ling Yu and his entourage returned to Jiashan Town again. He wants to work with Pan Chuanming, the mayor of Jiashan Town, to study the next action plan. After Tong Yonghao arranged police dog training and other things, he came to Jiashan Town with Ling Yu.

Everyone worked out a search plan together, and led by Ling Yu's field team, decided to visit the cities that had not yet fallen. Remove the threat of the Evil Spirit Clan and clear the Blood Spirit Root from the city.

After arranging the daily defense, Pan Chuanming, Tong Yonghao and the Sand Wolf team also moved forward together. Zhu Yulin and the two golden three-star powerhouses of Tailing County were left behind to sit in command, and in this way, the size of the team suddenly expanded to more than 200 people.

A week later, the most powerful defender of the western part of the empire, consisting of twenty-five off-road vehicles, headed straight for the county town of Chonghe in the southwest, where the first stop of their trip was.

Chonghe County is located in the southwest of the empire in the Taiyuan Mountains of the largest basin, because of the basin, here by the monsoon climate is very little affected, the Taiyuan Mountains are high mountains, blocking the cold air from Yinlong Mountain, making the four seasons of wildflowers everywhere, warm as spring.

In Chonghe County, a clear and winding river runs through the county seat. It is the snow melt of the tall Taiyuan mountain system, which flows down the valley until it converges downstream to form the Kangyang River. Historically, this creek has led to huge flash floods, which is also the origin of the name of Chonghe County.

The creek gradually widened, and the water flow around it became larger and larger, passing through the mountain stream, and the huge drop formed the famous Kangyang River Waterfall of the Nine Heavens Empire, and finally emptied into the Kangyang River of the Nine Secluded Sea.

It is precisely because of such a peculiar geographical environment that the emperors of the Nine Heavens Empire will always come to Chonghe County in winter or summer to escape the cold and heat, and they have built a luxurious palace on the slope of the north of Chonghe County, with tall palace walls and extremely tight defenses around it, making it a forbidden area for civilians.

Chonghe County also benefited a lot, and the county magistrates here were generally directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and among all the cities in the empire, Chonghe County was not large, but its status was very high. No wonder folk legend says that Chonghe County is the second ancient style.

The convoy traveled slowly all the way through the mountains, although it was already winter, the top of Taiyuan Mountain, where Chonghe County was located, was also covered with snow, and from the top of the mountain downward, gradually transitioning into autumn, withered grass was all over the ground, and fallen leaves were flying. And in the valley where Ling Yu and his party were, it was as warm as spring.

It took Ling Yu a day to complete the entire journey from Tailing County to Chonghe County. The purpose of walking like this is mainly to relax along the way, and to reconnoiter the environment of the entire mountain area to see if there is any encroachment by the Zerg or Blood Spirit Root.

"It's a really good place." Ma Xiaotian drank wine and looked at the scenery outside the car window, he had not been so leisurely for many years. He sighed: "After running around for sixteen or seventeen years, it seems that you have to choose a place to retire, no wonder the Dog Emperor of the Empire always goes to this place for vacation, it is really fucking enjoyable!" ”

"When the war calms down, let's come to this place to live, this is much better than the space of the Xianluo people." Jin Ling'er also had a little joy on her face.

"Grandpa Ma, is this Bahai senior you looking for really not there?" Ling Yu asked.

Ma Xiaotian stared at Ling Yu twice, and threw a peanut bean in his hand into his mouth: "Of course, Lord Bahai is likely to have survived for tens of thousands of years, you know, becoming a god of war, a person's field can be condensed to an incredible extent, and the divine consciousness may be immortal." ”

"Tens of thousands of years!" Ling Yu and the others all gasped.

Ma Xiaotian looked at the shocked expressions of Ling Yu and the others,

At the end of the valley at dusk, the tall city gate of Chonghe County was seen in the distance, hidden in the golden light of the setting sun. On the city gate, dozens of C-class laser heavy cannons are side by side, shining brightly. This shows how much attention the empire attaches to Chonghe County.

The square in front of the city gate was unusually neat and sparsely populated, and a few hawkers who were preparing to return late were packing up their stalls. Situated in a remote valley, Chonghe County appears to have an unusually low level of population movement.

A convoy of twenty-five off-road vehicles entered the city in a row. It seems that this Chonghe county has not had such a huge convoy in and out for a long time. Ling Yu walked on the wide street, attracting the attention of countless people.

Everyone chartered a slightly larger hotel, and prepared to rest for the night and go directly to the county magistrate the next day.

In Chonghe County, the night was quiet and peaceful, and after dinner, Ling Yu and his party took a walk in the front yard of the hotel. The large courtyard is paved with delicate cement bricks. On the parking lot on the left, twenty-five off-road vehicles of Ling Yu and his party were parked. In the middle is a huge flower bed. The courtyard is surrounded by green creepers, wrapping the whole courtyard tightly. There is not a hint of winter here.

At the main entrance of the compound, a stainless steel telescopic door was halfway open, and the guards in blue security suits stood on the sentry platform, motionless.

Ling Yu walked in the courtyard, chatting with Zhao Dashan as he walked. Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt two lines of sight peeking at Ling Yu and his party. Ling Yu's figure disappeared in place without warning. When he appeared, he had already come to the creeper fence outside the hotel.

"Who are you?" Ling Yu asked quietly, there was a green young man opposite him.

The young man obviously didn't expect a person to suddenly appear behind him. A trace of panic flashed across his face, and then he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Ling Yu embarrassedly: "I heard them say that a group of outsiders came to this hotel, and they were curious for a while, so they couldn't help but look inside. ”

Ling Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "If you really want to be interested, then come in and take a look." ”

"Oh, oh, no need, no need...... "As he spoke, the green youth stepped back and watched Ling Yu's movements alertly.

Without asking the reason, Ling Yu didn't want to let it go easily. He came here because he was unfamiliar with the place, and he had brought with him a large team, so he had to be careful in everything. What's more, he already vaguely felt that there were still many people hiding in the shadows around here.

He moved his body, blocking the way for the green youth to retreat, and said with a smile: "Don't rush to go, go and sit inside." ”

This time, the green young man saw Ling Yu's skills clearly, and it was worth laughing dryly twice, and walked towards the door of the hotel. In the hotel, Zhao Dashan greeted him.

"Stop!" Behind Ling Yu, a cold voice suddenly sounded. When Ling Yu looked back, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in black.

The middle-aged man walked slowly in front of Ling Yu, and the green youth immediately hid behind the middle-aged man. Ling Yu looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly, and asked calmly, "May I ask ...... you are?"

The middle-aged man's face was slightly cold, and he said domineeringly: "You don't care who I am, why do you want to detain my people." ”

"I'm going to ask why he's here to spy on him. If there is something that can be discussed directly, why bother sneaking around. Ling Yu said.

"Who do you think you can't see, even if Your Majesty came to Chonghe County, he didn't say that he wouldn't let people see it." The middle-aged man did not give an inch. Zhao Dashan had already seen some eyebrows on the side. At this moment, the thunder dragon Rochde and the others, who were chatting in the hall, also walked out.

"Don't talk nonsense with him, what about the person who arrested you today? I'm going to see what he's doing here today! Zhao Dashan said, his tall body flashed forward, and his hand grabbed the green youth.
