Chapter 20: The Wrecked Pilot
"No, I'll go and divert the beast tide!"
Xia Yan looked at Situ Xue, the goddess of the school, who was also extremely embarrassed at the moment, with a face full of despair!
At the moment, the two of them are just surviving! If there is no external force, the two of them will definitely not be able to escape. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info After all, neither of them is a formal martial artist, and the gap between their physical fitness and that of a formal martial artist is still very large!
As for those people from the Heavenly Mandate Society, it would be good not to pull the two of them to the queen and buy them time to escape.
Although in fact, the two are also in the queen for them!
"Give me ......"
Just as Xia Yan was about to fly up first regardless of everything and lure the beast tide away, he suddenly found a fighter plane in the sky in the distance. The speed of the dive down at an extremely high speed, to the point that less than 100 meters above the ground, endless artillery fire poured out.
The strength of these monsters is not strong, not even to the level of a formal warrior, under such an overwhelming artillery bombardment, except for a few more powerful rats who escaped, most of them were directly bombarded into slag!
Once you leave such an overwhelming number, the remaining rats are nothing to fear!
As soon as he saw the fighter planes appear, Xia Yan knew that this group of rats was finished, and their individual strength was too weak!
Just when the two were rejoicing in the aftermath of the catastrophe, something happened suddenly!
Yo......
A high-pitched hissing sounded!
It's a Warlord-level flying monster.
Maybe it's because the artillery is covering the movement here too much, and it was summoned.
The roar of heavy artillery fire clearly angered the monster.
In front of the general-level flying monster, the fighter plane had no power to fight back, and was dived by the monster, turning into a ball of fire in the air and disintegrating directly.
As for the driver, in the firelight, it turned into an inconspicuous black dot and fell to the earth, quickly dissolving into the surrounding environment.
Although there is a cushion of air, and the warrior's body is strong enough, in order to escape from the mouth of the flying monster, the escape pod falls extremely fast, and the success rate of such an emergency escape is extremely low!
"What should I do?"
The two of them lay dead in the grass, watching the flying monster vent in the air for a while before sticking their heads out.
I finally met human civilization, but I didn't expect the change to come so quickly!
"Help!"
Xia Yan only hesitated for a short time, and then decided to save people!
However, Wangshan ran dead, and the fighter plane was in the air at a speed of several hundred meters per second, and in the blink of an eye, the site of the fighter crash was already several kilometers away.
In the jungle, it is not easy to walk these few kilometers.
However, the two of them were lucky, they didn't encounter any powerful monsters along the way, and they didn't hide the strength of the cultivator at this time, plus the beast tide passed, and the monsters along the way basically fled.
Occasionally, there are fish that slip through the net, and they are also solved by Xia Yan and Situ Xue!
By the time the two found the wrecked pilot, it was already an hour later.
Although I had been mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when I saw the scene in front of me.
In order to escape the aerial hunt of flying monsters, the speed of the escape pod cannot be slow, and it can only be ejected to the ground.
Even at the training ground, the success rate of such an emergency escape is less than 30%.
In the field, there are too many variables that can be ejected in such an emergency.
The pilot's luck was clearly not good, though the escape pod was not captured by the flying monster. However, the escape pod made an emergency landing on the edge of a cliff, and in the process of violent collision, the escape pod was already full of holes, and in the process of rolling down the cliff, it disintegrated directly.
Even with the strong strength of a formal martial artist, in the process of such an impact, without the protection of the escape pod, it would be ten deaths.
By the time the two of them spent more than half an hour at the bottom of the cliff to find the wreckage of the escape pod, the pilot had already become unrecognizable, and his whole body was hanging upside down like a torn rag.
A few bloody wolves smelling blood came and were feasting.
When the two came to the scene, what they saw was the tragic picture in front of them.
"Kill!"
Although he knew that this was also the final destination of most martial artists, seeing a martial artist buried here, and being bitten and devoured by these monsters after death, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel a little red-eyed!
ā¦ā¦
"I, I think I know where we are!" Xia Yan just came back to his senses and found that Situ Xue was staring at the wreckage of the rescue pod, thoughtful.
"Well, you know?"
"I know, look, this sign!" Situ Xue pointed to the mark on the wreckage of an escape pod and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the mark of the place where bones are buried!" ā
"Where bones are buried?" Xia Yan was taken aback, "Are you sure?" ā
"Convinced!" Situ Xue smiled helplessly, "Look at this logo, although it is a little vague, but you can still see it in general, it is a flower blooming in a piece of dry bones, except for the place where the bones are buried, there will be no such logo anywhere else!" ā
The Burial of Bones, as its name may sound, is actually a settlement built by human survivors.
It is a forgotten city located in the vast mountainous region of the southwest.
After the Great Destruction, in this area, because of the high mountains and dense forests, countless high-level monsters were born here.
After the survivors established the settlement, they never stopped the monsters attacking the city.
According to incomplete statistics, in this city, there will be an average of one large beast tide every two years, and as for the small beast tide, there are countless ones.
Within a hundred miles of this city, there are countless bones left behind by countless beast tides, both monsters and humans!
Over the centuries, countless bones have been buried in dust and sand, only to be replaced by new ones.
The earliest names of the surviving city have long been hidden under the thick of bones. Now on the map, there is only one survivor city - the Burial of Bones!
When the federal government was on the defensive, it once tried to recover the war-torn city and let her join the federal family.
However, this place is too remote, and it is 1,500 kilometers away from the nearest base city, and there are countless high-level monsters in the middle, so it will eventually be over.
Let the communication between the city and the Federation be limited to high-level martial artists. For the wars that take place here year after year, the Federation is actually beyond the reach of the whip.
In an instant, Xia Yan figured it out!
For example, an organization like the Mandate of Heaven is shouted and beaten by everyone outside, but if it is in the place where bones are buried, wouldn't it have the best soil for survival!
According to Xia Yan's understanding, the city is still in a state of anarchy.
This city has always been controlled by major martial arts organizations, and in this chaotic place, there are no rules, the only rule is to make yourself stronger, strong enough to survive.
From individuals, to entire cities, it's all the same!
The perennial war makes the city possible to be destroyed at any time!
If Destiny would build a base here, no one would take care of it!
"But what does it do to us?"
"Of course it works!" Situ Xue looked at Xia Yan's puzzled expression and explained: "In fact, every base city will monitor the large-scale beast herds around it, and as soon as it finds that there is a trend of outburst beast tides, they will find ways to carry out precise strikes to prevent the beast tides from forming!" ā
"The land of bones can support hundreds of people in a chaotic war, and naturally there is a corresponding prevention system. So I deduced that this fighter plane should have come specifically to fight this beast tide! ā
"So ......" Xia Yan found that he still underestimated this beautiful classmate, and then added: "This place should not be too far from the place where the bones are buried, because the combat radius of the fighter is not long, if it is too far, a fighter plane will not be able to reach the destination at all." ā
"Not bad!" Situ Xue added, "The combat range of such a fighter will definitely not exceed 200 kilometers, and if it does, it will not be able to deal with the monsters that appear in the air at all." ā
"In other words, follow the direction from which the fighter came, and walk no more than two hundred kilometers ahead, and you can reach the place where the bones are buried!"
The more Xia Yan spoke, the more excited he became, since this day, he had experienced too many changes, and these were far beyond the scope of his ability to handle. At this time, when you see hope, how can you not be excited.
After burying the wrecked pilot and roughly identifying the direction, the two avoided the direction in which the Destiny Society and the others fled, and rushed out!
Both of them were silent all the way, maybe they saw hope, but they didn't know what to say!
Although he kept encountering monsters along the way, Xia Yan found that his strength in encountering monsters was getting weaker and weaker.
"Looks like it's going in the right direction!" Xia Yan said secretly.
Generally, when encountering an area where monsters are getting weaker and weaker, either there are high-level monsters nearby and scaring other monsters away, or they encounter human settlements. Now that there are fighters in this vicinity to disperse the beast tide, there is no doubt that this is not far from the place where the bones are buried!
"Hey, Situ Xue, tell me about the situation in the place where the bones are buried!" Along the way, there were fewer and fewer monsters encountered, and Xia Yan finally relaxed a little and broke the silence first.
It is obvious that the Mandate of Heaven will have an important stronghold in the land of bones, and even their base camp is here, if they crash into it without a clue, it is called just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den!
"Where bones are buried!" Situ Xue sighed: "It's a place without any order!" ā
"I don't know much about the situation, but it is said that here, a few warrior organizations are controlling the situation!"
"Here, a beast tide will break out at any time, so at any time, there will be a martial arts organization to perish, and a new organization will rise!"
"But as time passes, countless forces have vanished. But there is one force that has stood tall in the land of bones for a hundred years, and that is the Ben Thunder Sword Sect, because their sect master, Ben Lei Jian Ning Chongxiao, is an innate powerhouse, and the only innate powerhouse in the land of bones! ā
"If you meet someone from the Sword Sect, you have to be more careful!"
"Ning Chongxiao?" Xia Yan groaned: "Could he have something to do with the Mandate of Heaven?" ā
"Absolutely not!" Situ Xue said categorically: "Although the Heavenly Mandate Society has long appeared in the eyes of martial artists, this organization is too mysterious. So far, nothing is known about the personnel and strength of this organization. Their caution is evident! ā
"With their prudence, it is impossible to recruit such an innate powerhouse, it is too eye-catching!"
"What's more, Senior Ning is a peak powerhouse of the Innate Martial Sect level, and he not only has an outstanding position in the place where the bones are buried, but also has great power. Even if the Federation has not succeeded in recruiting this strong man because of the distance, it is even more impossible for the Mandate of Heaven to be! ā
As the proud son of the sky from a martial arts family, Situ Xue does know a lot of secrets, and these secrets are not something that Xia Yan could touch before.
