Chapter 20: Discovery and Re-Invasion

"Professor, why don't we go back and study it again?" Xie Ning looked at the busy scholars in front of him worriedly, but walked up to Academician Qian, who was concentrating on something, and asked softly.

Since that night, they haven't closed their eyes for two consecutive nights and one day.

Scholars are indeed the most fanatical creatures among humans, and they have seen the ring of the suspected giant gate as if they had seen a treasure, although they are completely confused about its manufacturing technology, but they have also researched a lot of results through the magic energy technology of humans themselves - at least, they have already slightly figured out the energy surname contained in this ring. Among them, there is indeed a huge amount of space magic energy stored!

At this time, scholars with vain steps but high spirits are working silently. But it is said that the study of its role is at the most critical moment, and he refuses to take even half a step.

They even lost their temper - what's the matter with you? What should I do if I am interrupted from my train of thought? Where to go is not research? How many times have we said it, it takes time for the magic field to be enhanced, and we are still safe! Your Highness, can you stand quietly on the side? It's nothing to mess around!

……

Faced with the scholars who had to retreat from the emperor, Xie Ning had no choice but to stand aside with a small hot pot.

However, his expression of concern grew stronger and stronger - even though he had done everything he could to ensure the quality of life of the scholars, he even risked violating the camp rules by ordering the demon warlords to go out and hunt the most nutritious and scarce magical beasts just to replenish their bodies.

However, this is also a drop in the bucket. Looking at the faces of the scholars, who were getting thinner and thinner day by day, the young general's heart was very worried.

Moreover, there is always a lingering ...... in his heart that has been entangled. The feeling that disaster is coming.

……

Academician Qian hurriedly listed the formulas on the draft, but turned his head to look at Xie Ning helplessly: "Your Highness, it was you who wanted to study it at the beginning, but now there is really a small breakthrough in research, and you have to go back first." You also know that science needs inspiration the most, and with inspiration, it needs to be used in real time. ”

"If I go back now, I won't be interrupted by my inspiration. We're going back halfway through, what if we come up with something and have to refer to that giant gate? Will we turn back then? ”

"Also, time is really not tight, so don't worry. Trust the science, okay? If the magic field does not reach a certain strength, the space will not be so fragile, and if the space does not reach a certain level of fragility, the passage will not be opened. This is the conclusion of our careful arguments. ”

"So what do you have to worry about? The magic field has been closely monitored by us - unless there is something big in the magic field upstairs, which we can't detect. But can there be anomalies in the magic field? That's the magic ground of the whole planet! What is the difference between this and people wondering if one day they will be stoned to death by a meteorite falling from the sky? ”

Academician Qian helplessly spread his hands at Xie Ning.

……

"Moreover, I finally found such a good place, and I just took advantage of this time to recuperate a few patients. It really doesn't matter to us researchers, didn't we often play so hard in the lab before? You better pay more attention to the next few patients, don't you see that Yuan Lao is already like this? Really take him on a quick march, which is fine during the day, but sleeps at night...... He's going to be tossed to death. ”

Xie Ning looked at Yuan Lao and the others who were lying on the hospital bed outside the crowd but still refused to rest, and were trembling and talking to people, he sighed faintly.

"Okay, then one more day, one more day? Yuan Lao and them, every night I arrange for a few big demon battles to sleep under them - so there should be no problem, right? Academician, I really feel that we can't afford to delay any longer. At the very least, we'll have to go back to the Far North first. ”

He said with a bitter face: "One more day, okay?" ”

"Okay, just one day." Academician Qian nodded, but he was busy on the paper again.

Xie Ning looked at the scholars, a hint of respect flashed in his eyes, but he sighed again, and walked towards Yang Linkai and Xiao Ledong, who were talking in a low voice.

……

"How's it going, did you hit a wall?" Xiao Ledong said to Xie Ning with a wink.

Xie Ning smiled bitterly and didn't speak, but saw that Yang Linkai was already full of strange smiles: "I said Xie Ning, you are still young, you haven't seen a big scene, I think back then, as a peerless genius, I also took my regiment to meet a few star demon battles of the Shang Alliance Demon General Regiment in the southwest, but I was not afraid of danger, and I still brought back my regiment without losing a single hair?" ”

"And you're still a little tender after all...... Just a few days ago, an old barbarian who had a star demon war was easily killed by us - were you scared by him? ”

"You don't come." Xie Ning gave him a blank look: "That bastard was not killed by us, but by me, okay, I was scared by him?" I'm just afraidβ€”"

Xie Ning was talking proudly, but suddenly he seemed to think of something! I saw that his expression had changed greatly!

"That's right! You don't remember! Isn't that right?! ”

He said loudly, even alarming the scholars not far away, who cast unkind eyes on him.

Academician Qian also looked at him, but sighed helplessly, put down the work at hand and walked over.

……

"What's wrong?"

Yang Linkai asked strangely, but saw that Xie Ning seemed to be out of the world, and he was already muttering.

"I forgot if you didn't talk about him, and when you said it, in retrospect, it was really strange that day......"

"You say, why did he tell us so frankly the secret of why he had lived so long? Just to show respect to me as a descendant of Shida? I'm afraid what he wants to express most is to kill me...... Why did he confess that secret to us, who were enemies? ”

"If you were to die, would you still be in the mood to gossip with the enemy? Will they reveal some secrets they don't know to the enemy? ”

Xie Ning asked in a muttered voice.

……

"That's right......" Xiao Ledong was also thoughtful: "Do you remember, at that time, Xie Ning asked him two questions, and it seemed that ...... And he answered one? ”

He suddenly looked at Shainin, his expression was already excited: "You ask him, why did he appear there?" He doesn't seem to have answered at all! Moreover, it was the deepest place, and there was no food, drink, or shelter...... He should have stayed in the forest! And how did it suddenly appear there? ”

"I also think it's strange for you to say this, he seems to throw out the so-called holy water of life, but we don't know why he didn't answer another question......

Yang Linkai also touched his chin.

"It's weird!"

……

The two came to a conclusion in unison and looked at Shaining, but saw that Shaining's expression had changed dramatically!

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his face was already pale!

"Sure enough, no matter how stupid the TM barbarians are, they will become fine after living for a long time! That bastard threw out a bizarre secret, I'm afraid, just to cover up another, bigger secret! ”

He said through gritted teeth!

Yang Xiao and the others were immediately surprised, but they didn't pay any attention to them after seeing Xie Ning finish speaking.

He raised his head and looked around, and found Academician Qian who was rushing towards him angrily.

He stepped over, but without waiting for Academician Qian's accusatory words, he said one after another: "Academician, please use your knowledge and wisdom to think carefully, and be sure to give me a scientific answer!" If we want to build a passage to an ectopic plane, do we need to send someone to locate it first? If you don't need to be spie, then what about the low consumption that was required to locate it in the past? Or are they all the same consumption? ”

He asked in a fierce voice.

Everyone in the audience was shocked by Shainin's gaffe, and the scholars also put down their work, or surrounded them angrily or in amazement.

……

"I don't know if you need to locate it, but it consumes ...... This is obvious, if there is positioning, the search is omitted, the mistake is omitted, and the car is familiar with the road, which is naturally much less consumed - otherwise the violent spatial turbulence between the two planes will be enough for people to bear. ”

Academician Qian looked at Xie Ning and said inexplicably, she was about to say something, but saw that Xie Ning's face was already pale!

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you......" she asked suspiciously.

"We ...... All deceived by that damn bastard! I should have known that even the barbarians were stupid and brainless in our minds! But that bastard has lived for so many years, how can he not have any ghost thoughts! I should have broken him to pieces! ”

Xie Ning said with a hideous face.

"You mean, he just came over? Did the barbarian invasion really start? Academician Qian was shocked.

……

"No, he is indeed a legacy of the First World War, otherwise he would not be so weak. But you think, why did he say the holy water of life? Is it just to shock us before we die? No, he is trying to cover up another secret of great importance, which cannot be missed, with a minor secret! ”

"If he doesn't tell us the holy water of life, then everyone will think about the barbarian invasion! But he tells us the secret of the holy water of life, which will dispel our doubts! And what he needs to cover up, ten likely, it is likely that the barbarians are about to invade! ”

"It is very likely that he has an even more important mission - to provide accurate, spatial positioning for the barbarian invasion by some unknown means! Otherwise, you think, how could he, as an outcast, obtain the holy water of life, which sounds extremely precious? Was it just to compensate for his sacrifice for the race? Then why give him this mortal man who may never go back? Wouldn't it be better to give it to his family? ”

"It's illogical! The only logical explanation is that the barbarians need someone to stay here and stay alive for a long time - just so that they can invade next time! ”

And the reason why he appeared at the giant gate and appeared to kill people also got a reasonable explanation! He just rushed to locate it! Moreover, he has ...... In the position for the barbarian invasion again, it was provided! He may have even made up what to say in case he was discovered, so he dared to show up and kill! ”

"Another invasion of the barbarians...... Perhaps, soon! Or, it's already here! ”

With great difficulty, Shainin spit out the entire paragraph.
