Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Season Passes
Jihou Pass is a passage connecting the barren garden and the big cracked land, the canyon in the pass is vertical and horizontal, known as the Mongol Valley, the terrain in the valley is complex, the road is rugged, the Jihou Valley is the place where the summer and cold meet since ancient times, and it is also one of the places with the worst environment, before the construction of the pass, the valley is full of ice cave melt streams, after the strong wind pours into the valley mouth, the plain outside is cold and hot, either it is frost-covered ground, or it is a barren scorched earth, it is because of the protection of the ancient gods and mulberries, the animals and plants under the shade of the trees depend on survival, However, the ancient mulberry could not shelter too many living creatures, but since the completion of the Jihou Pass, the ancient gods and the surrounding climate have been regulated, and the living creatures can multiply, and then the empire built the Tianfu Rose here, which is the largest garden in the world, and later the garden of desolation.
In the Emperor's Beacon Hall, a cup of fragrant autumn red tea was placed on the table, the Empress took a sip of it, looked at an unfolded sheepskin folded map on the table, and said: "This is the map of the road to the Dawn, after reading this, you must already know how difficult the road to the Dawn is." ”
Youyoule smacked his lips, feeling very uncomfortable, and said: "The road to Shufang is indeed difficult, but I still have to go, I am for a person, for her no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I am willing." ”
Wen Xiao's empress has also done tricks, she doesn't want to mention it too much, and said: "People can't be resurrected, think about it." ”
The empress got up and left the Beacon Fire Hall, and there were two people looking at Youyoule, and they went to the main hall, and when they came to the main hall, they met the archbishop hurriedly to report, this time the archbishop's face was even more panicked, and he came to the empress and said respectfully: "The empress, the first team that traced their traces was all killed, and they went in the direction of the ancient gods, and the teams sent out one after another have not found their traces, I estimate that they want to take a shortcut, pass through the season pass, and take the road in the direction of the Great Rift." ”
The empress had a gloomy face and said, "Are the first team all the waste you cultivated?" ”
The archbishop hurriedly said: "The subordinates are incompetent, the first team is indeed an elite, and it is not a stalking dog that kills them, it should be a bone lizard." ”
The empress squinted at the archbishop and said, "Are you making excuses?" If you go further, there will be more creatures like bone lizards, and with your ability, when and what month will you be able to reach the feet of the female behemoth? ”
The archbishop said resignedly: "The subordinates will supervise it!" ”
The empress looked at the archbishop with contempt, the dark and cold thorns in her eyes seemed to devour the archbishop, the archbishop choked, there seemed to be thousands of poisonous insects scratching on his neck, the black thorns crawled out of his neck, covered half of his face, and almost pierced his eyes, the archbishop was terrified, but he still endured, waiting for the empress to calm down her anger, the empress was discouraged, and the thorns also subsided from the archbishop.
The empress said: "This time it is a small punishment for you, and next time it will not be so simple." ”
The archbishop said: "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will send the eagle dog to track their whereabouts!" ”
The empress instructed: "This time, we must catch them no matter what, and I have taken a top-secret scroll with the emperor with him, and you must find this scroll no matter what!" ”
The archbishop said: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”
The empress said again: "Send the ugly servant out, this time I won't allow you to miss!" ”
The archbishop nodded flatteredly and said, "My subordinates will do it." ”
The camp under the beacon walls was full of barking dogs, and since the archbishop ordered it, the expedition team consisted of the third and fourth squads, each assigned an eagle dog, these eagle dogs were injected with targeted mutation vaccines, after mutation, their sense of smell is more sensitive, and they can also fly low.
A man with a crooked scar in the corner of his eye led an eagle dog and walked back and forth in the camp, and the corpses of the first team lay in several simple morgues in the camp, they were all bitten to death, and the man with the scar asked the eagle dog to sniff back and forth on the deceased a few times, and asked, "Can you tell the difference?" ”
The eagle dog was happily spinning back and forth on the ground, and the Cracked Scar Man knew the Eagle Dog very well, and he must have recognized the smell of other people on the deceased's body, and there were undoubtedly two smells on these deceased, the one that was entwining them and the one on the bone lizard, and the Cracked Scar Man was obviously like asking the Eagle Dog to remember the smell of the Dog's body and another person.
The scar man took out another handkerchief, let the eagle dog sniff it, and said, "Remember, find this person for me." ”
At this time, the fog had not completely dissipated, and a very low white sky was shrouded overhead, and since the ground trembled slightly, the fog floated out.
The two captains of the expedition led the team in a line in the camp gatehouse, and the leader of the third team asked, "Lord Ugly Servant, you can go now." ”
The ugly servant squeezed the scar at the corner of his eye and said, "Wait." ”
The two captains were puzzled, and the captain of the third team asked, "What are you waiting for, my lord?" ”
The ugly servant said, "When this fog is almost gone, don't you know where this fog came from?" ”
Everyone shook their heads and said, "I don't know." ”
The ugly servant said: "The plates of the Great Rift are moving, and every time the Great Rift is squeezed this way, the underground cracks in the Jimo Valley will crack, and the heat and cold will converge together, and the fog will be formed, and the cracks in the Jihou Valley will crack and close with the movement of the female beast, I think it won't be long before the cracks in the Jimo Valley will close, and the fog will disappear." ”
The captain asked, "Wouldn't that be a long delay?" The entanglement will run farther and farther. ”
"As far as I know," said the ugly servant, "the man who led the dance was by no means an ordinary man, and although the archbishop did not mention his name to me, I think he should know the way to the dawn very well. ”
The captain said, "I heard that he is a merchant who often travels back and forth to Shanglan Ancient Road. ”
The ugly servant looked at the top of his head and said, "It's almost now, if the fog is too big, the danger will increase, now we are moving at full speed to avoid the danger, it won't be long before we can reach the season pass, according to my current estimate, they should also be near the season pass." ”
Jihou Pass is majestic and majestic, located in a dangerous place, the city pass is built in the place where the mountains are staggered, the nearby group of peaks and the Jihou Pass together form a natural barrier, the control of the Jihou Pass is also very complicated, there is not only the canyon passage that adjusts the summer heat and frost in the pass, but also the track of transporting cargo resources, these tracks are built in the ancient imperial period, although the ancient empire's science and technology are advanced, but the political system is very backward, which is also one of the reasons for its decline.
