Chapter 44: The Truth (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
The world is big.
It is beyond Xu Zhifeng's imagination.
I still remember that when he first came here, he knew about Wenxing Town.
A single town has a million people.
Tongshan County has a population of 10 million.
The total population of Gaotianfu is tens of millions.
There are tens of billions of people in the Han Kingdom.
He was shocked beyond measure.
Such a large population, but the vast majority of them live in the city.
So how big is the outside world to feed so many people.
In addition, he also found that the world was flat.
In a sense, there is no horizon, no matter how far you go, as long as you stand high enough and your eyesight is good enough, you can still see the city of Wenxing Town standing on the plain when you look back.
Buildings and mountains don't fade below the horizon as they move away.
This puzzled him.
If this is the case, then why does the sun rise and the moon sets?
Where does the sun come from, and where does the moon set?
These were the answers he wanted to know, but he couldn't find them on CNKI.
He wanted to go a little further and even get out of the relative safety of the growing area to see the outside world.
But he didn't dare.
Once a strange beast appears in the planting area, there is still a chance to wait for the rescue of the escort team and the mobile team, but once a civilian is in distress in a more remote place, he will have no power to resist and face death.
Xu Zhifeng had too many reasons in his heart, but he couldn't take the first step to explore.
He had asked Chen Xi about this matter, and also asked Xiang Bangyue and Uncle Gong, but these people said that ordinary people don't have to know everything, and An Ansheng can do his duty.
If you can become a Xuanshi, when you can successfully condense the Xuanjia, you should know, you will naturally know.
In the past, he didn't understand, but now he understands, these things will be taught in the Xuanshi Academy.
As for ordinary people, they are already powerless, and knowing it will only increase their troubles, it is meaningless, and spreading it will make ordinary people disheartened.
A team of about 400 people set off from Wenxing Town, consisting of a convoy of 20 Xuanneng vehicles, and drove away from Wenxing Town and rushed straight to the mountains in the distance.
On the bus, 30 students in Chen Xi's class sat in their seats.
The driver was a freshman named Tang Xiaoyun.
Coincidentally, Tang Xiaoyun is actually the son of Tang Zhongren, the landlord of Xu Zhifeng and Chen Xi, and is now in the second year of Wenxing College, with beginner E-level strength.
There were two other old students in the car, named Qin Siyuan and Shen Yicun, and the situation was the same as Tang Xiaoyun.
These three old students are the assistants of Chen Xi's class in this military training, and their main responsibilities are to assist Chen Xi in managing the new students, and at the same time work together to deal with strange beasts, show their abilities to the new students, and of course, they also shoulder the responsibility of guarding the safety of the new students.
The performance of the Xuanneng car is very good, the speed is extremely fast, and the same Xuanling grass fields on both sides of the road fly back and go.
I don't know how long the time has passed, until the sun is about to set, and the sky is getting dark.
Xu Zhifeng finally saw that the scenery outside the car window changed suddenly, and it was no longer a neatly planted Xuanling grass field, but was replaced by a huge plain that was empty and vast, with no grass growing at all.
Finally leaving the planting area, he secretly took a deep breath, and was about to pat Chen Xi, who was sitting in the co-pilot in front of him, on the shoulder and talk to her.
She suddenly stood up and stood in the aisle of the car with her hands behind her back.
At the same time, the road became bumpy and the car shook more violently, but she seemed to stand still on both feet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I told you the day before yesterday that I would tell you some secrets. It's about history, it's about the truth. ”
Chen Xi said with a solemn expression.
Xu Zhifeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
That's exactly what he wanted to ask.
"I summarize these secrets into three questions. First, why we're here. Second, the meaning of Xuanling grass. Third, what exactly is a strange beast? ”
"Five hundred years ago, there was a great catastrophe in the place where our ancestors lived. We do not know the cause of this catastrophe and the number of casualties. Scholars analyze that it may be an invasion of an alien beast emperor that surpasses the A-level, or it may be that the galaxy has fallen and the earth has cracked. In short, our ancestors came here under the guidance of the prophets. The world we live in today is called a refuge. Sometimes it is referred to as a world of refuge. The world of refuge is big, bigger than you can imagine. ”
Xu Zhifeng clenched his fists.
The word "refuge" is light, but the history of blood and tears hidden behind it is overwhelming.
After encountering a catastrophe, the migration of the people will of course be ruined and the people will not be able to make a living.
The prophet who leads the way is the one we commemorate every year to commemorate the birth of the prophet. He didn't leave a legacy, but he did great things. When our ancestors lived in the original world, it is rumored that the population was about 10 billion. But when we succeeded in coming to the world of refuge, our total population was less than a billion! Not only that, when our ancestors first came here, the world of refuge was not as peaceful and tranquil as it is now, but was full of dangers, volcanoes, earthquakes, and huge bottomless cracks. ”
"In the face of this shattered world of refuge, human beings are so small and humble that our ancestors have no power to resist disasters. A billion pioneers eventually died with only 500 million left, but the ancestors persevered and continued the race. ”
"The most important thing to change the world is the Xuanling Grass! The Nameless Prophet has exhausted his lifespan, leaving behind the inheritance of Xuan and Yuan, and has found a way to repair and stabilize the world of refuge. ”
In the very center of the refuge world, surrounded by the borders of our Han Kingdom and the other five countries, there is an endless pit that is beyond imagination and covers an area of almost the same state. ”
"Harvesting the ripe Xuanling Grass every year and throwing it into the endless pit will make the world of refuge more and more stable, and finally become what it is suitable for us to live in. ”
"Yes, after five hundred years and more than ten generations of efforts, we have multiplied 20 billion people and transformed this world under the threat of alien beasts. That's why the cultivation of Xuanling Grass is so important, because it is related to the foundation of the world. ”
"Okay, now for the third question. Unfortunately, we don't have an answer to this question. All we know is that the beast grows out of nothingness and feeds on people. But where exactly they come from and why they have to eat people is still inconclusive. ”
"In our settlements, such as the vicinity of towns and towns and even larger county towns, if a strange beast is born or approaches, the escort team and mobile team will immediately dispatch to exterminate it. ”
"If the strength of the alien beast is too strong, it will be dealt with at the discretion of the township and town officials, the town order, or the local academy. The monks who settled in the cities will also be dispatched one after another. ”
"Alien beasts are the common enemy of all people, and there is no possibility of coexistence in the slightest! In addition to these relatively safe places around the city, there are more alien beasts entrenched in the wild, existing for a long time, and becoming a long-term threat!"
"The place we are going to now is Rat Mountain, which is inhabited by a large number of E-class alien beast lime rats. I will lead the old students to hunt in Rat Mountain. New students don't have to make a move, just observe and learn. I'm done talking, who has a problem?"
Xu Zhifeng raised his hand, "There is one thing I don't understand. ”
"Xiao Fengfeng, you say. ”
Chen Xi suddenly changed his tone again.
Xu Zhifeng's face did not change, "Since many alien beasts can exist for a long time, why not simply concentrate on besieging the town, but let us go hunting, or let a small number of alien beasts descend on the planting area and be killed?"
Chen Xi's face turned pale when he heard this, "The one you said is called beast chaos." It has happened, and it happens every year. Maybe here, maybe there. Moreover, the more powerful the beast, the closer it is to human intelligence, so the real high-level beasts know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they will not be sent to death easily. ”
"If there are high-level alien beasts involved and leading the beast chaos, they will be fully prepared and almost invincible. Of course, under the continuous struggle of the ancestors such as Lord Qiao Yunfeng, the living environment of the world has been improved a lot, and we are no longer as weak as we were five hundred years ago. ”
"In short, everyone can die at any time! But we are not afraid to fight! Martyrs die in a hundred battles, and there will be successors! Do you understand?"
Perhaps worried that the freshmen would receive too much blow, Chen Xi deliberately mobilized his emotions and shouted hoarsely.
The car suddenly responded with a bang, and his spirit soared to the sky, and even Tang Xiaoyun, who was driving, raised his arms with one arm, clenched his fists and shouted.
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction, looked out the window again, and said, "Okay, it's time to get there, stop and get off." ”
If you can't reach your destination today, the Wenxing Academy team will set up tents here and camp for the night, and continue to set off tomorrow morning, arriving at Rat Mountain at about noon.
At that time, the large force of nearly 400 people will be divided into eleven teams to act separately.
Each new student team consists of a class leader, three old students, and all new students.
In addition, there will be fifty elite veterans led by the dean and mentor team to go deep into the hinterland, striving to kill more Lime War Rats such as the beginner D-level Lime War Mouse, and even kill the high-level D-level alien beast Lime Rat King, eliminating the hidden dangers of nearby towns and cities.
The entire training and hunt will last for twelve days, after which the group will regroup and return, eventually returning to school.
At that time, students who meet the conditions will be eligible to make quick decisions and be assisted in awakening the Xuanjia by the medicines provided by the college.
The process is basically like this, but Xu Zhifeng doesn't plan to follow the routine.
After everyone settled down, he pushed Chen Xi's tent straight away, "Chen Xi, I have decided, I will awaken Xuanshi now." ”
He shook the bottle he was holding in his hand, and inside was 15 milliliters of enhanced E-class Xuan liquid.
"Dreaming! Are you going to use the enhanced type to awaken the Xuanjia? Are you crazy?"
"Ugh. ”
"Do you know what it means to be enhanced? I thought you were selling it for money! Except for the real tyrants, no one in this world will use the enhanced type. What if you summon a special armor? Can you afford to raise yourself?"
Chen Xi lowered his voice and gritted his teeth to persuade him.
Xu Zhifeng pointed at himself, "That's a good question, but I'm really Hao." Otherwise, what am I going to do to get you to the C rank?"
"You...... Forget it, I can't tell you. ”
"No, no, no, you don't have to say it, I know everything. Help me get in touch with the dean, I'm going to do it. Otherwise, I won't leave tonight, anyway, we are a couple in the right name. ”
Half an hour later, Xu Zhifeng left with mixed feelings.
It's unreasonable!
Of course, he knew that there had never been an A-class mystic with a special armor in history.
Just at the E-rank stage, the value of the enhanced Xuan Liquid is five times that of the ordinary Xuan Liquid, and the consumption is also five times that of the ordinary Xuan Liquid.
Then in terms of burning money alone, the special Xuanjia Xuanshi is twenty-five times that of ordinary Xuanshi!
At the more advanced stage, refining materials that enhance the Xuan Liquid will become more and more difficult to find, and the doubling of its value will become more terrifying.
But these problems are not a problem at all for Xu Da Spore.
But he couldn't make sense with Chen Xi, and it was difficult to tell Chen Xi the truth.
Things get stiff.
Lying in the tent, Xu Zhifeng turned around and wrapped his sleeping bag tightly.
Forget it, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
You can't be attacked by a strange beast tonight, right?
