The wind was cold and the snow was falling......

Half an hour later, when Xia Jian reappeared, he was already on top of a mountain a few miles east of the City of Hope!

From encountering a snowstorm and discovering the City of Hope in a daze, to coming out again......

In the blink of an eye......

It's been almost ten days!!

A lot happened in 10 days......

Far from it......

Let's just talk about transportation!!

When he first came, Xia Jian was driving an armed helicopter!

Helicopters, all kinds of weapons, all kinds of supplies, it can be said that everything is available......

As long as it can be thrown on the plane......

Xu Leini and Liu Li basically lost them to Xia Jian!

But now?

The helicopter is gone!!

The only means of transportation, only a pair of legs left of you!!

Supplies and weapons are gone!

In addition to the dagger and the special energy crystal nucleus that he carried with him, the only thing Xia Jian used in the City of Hope this time was the armor on his body!!

Of course......

This is just a visible gain!!

Is it a loss or a gain?

It's a bit too early to go to Xia Jian to judge!

After all, those cultivation methods imprinted in Xia Jian's mind must wait for Xia Jian to return to the Linhai base and hand them over to Xu Leini and the others to see if they can cultivate before they can get an accurate result!

……

Standing on the top of a giant tree in the sky, Xia Jian looked back at the wind......

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast white expanse!

It makes you feel like you're in the middle of a polar region......

But Xia Jian knew what to do......

In the midst of this snow and ice. There is a place where the sun is high and the sun is enjoying the bright sun......

A paradise!

A hell!!

An invisible barrier!

What they bring is two completely different worlds!!

Feel the biting cold wind. Thinking back to the warm taste when the bright sun shone on people within that enchantment, Xia Jian suddenly realized something......

Xia Jian suddenly felt that maybe those bigwigs in the military had already known about some of the conspiracies of this Jiaoyang clan!

Think of the weapon you saw in the telescope earlier that makes the elements inert!!

Think about this mysterious enchantment again!!

There is also a warning from the expedition guide when you first enter the Land of Trials......

Now think about it. I suddenly found that although the Jiaoyang clan was using these people from the military. Help yourself clear the place of trials and open up the trial channel!

But these bigwigs in the military, why aren't they using the Bright Sun clan?

"Hehe......"

Xia Jian, who was standing in the treetops, chuckled twice. He shook his head self-deprecatingly......

Xia Jian discovered. I really like to worry about it!

In this crisis-ridden apocalypse, it is already remarkable that you can protect yourself and the people around you!

How can you have that qualification, how can you have any energy to worry about these big guys!

"Squeak ......"

Just when Xia Jianzheng sighed to himself, in the snow not far away, there was suddenly a series of cheerful cries of small animals, which sounded at first glance. It's kind of like a rat barking!

Follow the sound and look at the past......

I saw a golden streamer on the snow, fleeting......

Meanwhile. Xia Jian, who was sighing, turned up the corners of his mouth slightly, and actually smiled happily......

Seeing Xia Jian's smile......

This golden streamer, as fast as lightning, rushed straight towards Xia Jian!

Next Second......

In Xia Jian's arms, there is already a little fluffy thing!!

I guess it's frozen!

After the little thing fell into Xia Jian's arms, it got into Xia Jian's clothes very flexibly along Xia Jian's neckline, revealing only a fluffy little head outside!

A pair of black pearl-like eyes, staring at Xia Jian watery, as if complaining!

Scold!

This little thing is not the little golden beast that has disappeared since Xia Jian came out of the land of trials!

Originally......

When he came out of the core of the Land of Trials, Xia Jian had already separated from the little golden beast......

The reason is simple......

In view of the incompatible relationship between the Golden Beast and the Bright Sun Clan, Xia Jian didn't dare to take this little thing with him!!

After all, Xia Jian didn't dare to guarantee that in the hands of the people of the Jiaoyang clan, there would be no special means to be able to discover the Golden Beast!

Besides......

At the beginning, Xiaohuang's mother, since there is a way to enter the land of trials!

Then there will naturally be a way out!

And so it is......

It's not ......

When Xia Jian and Shi Huan were still locked up, the little golden beast had already sneaked out of the place of trial!

During this time, I have been near the City of Hope, waiting for Xia Jian!!

As soon as Xia Jian came out of the City of Hope, the little guy found out, and at the first time, he got in touch with Xia Jian! In the direction where Xia Jian was, he rushed over!

It's just that the little guy is a creature of the light family, and he prefers sunlight and warm climates......

And the world outside the enchantment is just cold......

In the past few days of waiting for Xia Jian, it has been frozen enough to choke, and he is complaining to Xia Jian as soon as he comes!

"Hey ......"

Seeing the little guy, Xia Jian's mood seems to be a lot better!!

Rubbing the little guy's fluffy little head, the big and small laughed a few times......

"Let's go! Ha Lu Ha ......"

Before the laughter fell, Xia Jian jumped down from the top of the treetops one by one, and quickly disappeared into the white jungle in a few flashes......

Until Xia Jian disappeared......

His unbridled laughter echoed through the jungle and spread far away......

…………

Be careful!

I have to say that this time, Xia Jian's caution and superb acting skills once again saved his own life!!

Why?

Things have to start with the inheritance of the Jiaoyang clan......

One thing is for sure. As the inheritor of the few remaining knowledge of the Sun Clan, it is impossible for the High Priest not to know the secrets of the Dao and the process of receiving the inheritance!!

But there's one thing the same. Need to take it into account......

After all, the things that the high priest knew about the Tao had been passed down by word of mouth for thousands of years!

No one can guarantee that after thousands of years of inheritance, nothing will be left out of these things that have been passed down by word of mouth!

In addition, it cannot be ruled out yet. Could the High Priest have any doubts about these inheritances!

So......

When I saw Xia Jian, in order to confirm some doubts in my heart. It is very likely that the high priest will test Xia Jian!!

Facts have also proved that the old man did test Xia Jian when he first came in......

……

But in the face of the high priest's temptation. What should Xia Jian do?

You need to know the way......

As a matter of fact. Not only was Xia Jian not controlled by the core, but he even tried to destroy the core of that trial land!

It's just that it failed at the end!!

Even Shi Huan, in the most late stage of the inheritance, was forcibly interrupted by Xia Jian! !

It's ......

At that time, Xia Jian was actually faced with an extremely difficult choice......

What kind of attitude should I use to face the high priest?

Is it to turn your face on the spot?

Or is it pretending to be controlled?

But if he pretends to be controlled, what attitude should Xia Jian have towards this old man?

Please?

Still is......

In the process. As long as Xia Jian is a little careless, it is very likely. will be seen through by the old man, and the original form will be revealed......

In that bad situation......

If Xia Jian is really exposed, the end is quite worrying!!

……

Replace it with someone else......

With that kind of environment and situation at that time, I believe that some people should choose to continue to disguise!!

And then what?

Show loyalty to the High Priest!

Or, disguised as impaired sanity?

I believe that the vast majority of people will do this!!

But Xia Jian did the opposite......

Not only did he not deliberately please the old man, but he also kept enough distance......

Is Xia Jian planning to break the jar?

Naturally not......

In fact, the reason why Xia Jian did this was the result of some careful consideration......

The reason is actually quite simple......

It's just because, at that time, Xia Jian sensitively noticed that since every member of the Bright Sun Clan had to enter the land of trials to participate in the trials......

Even whether a person can pass the trial is used as a measure of whether he has become an adult!

Can it be assumed that every member of the Sun Clan, as long as they are adults, has actually been controlled by the core of that trial land?

Let all of our people be controlled by a crystal nucleus, erasing everyone's free consciousness and controlling everyone's thinking......

This kind of thing, just thinking about it, makes people feel terrifying......

Although in the early stage, unified thinking will greatly enhance combat effectiveness!

Can it be done later?

A race that has lost its ability to innovate, that has lost its free consciousness, will soon lose its competitiveness!!

After all, the Sun Clan is human!

And not bees or something!!

It's not nice to say......

This is basically no different from the extermination of a race!

At least Xia Jian would never do such a thing!!

Treat others as you would ......

Xia Jian felt that the Jiaoyang clan, those ancestors who had built the land of trials, should not do such a mentally retarded thing that was clearly self-destructive!

Case......

Xia Jian felt that this so-called control should be greatly restricted!!

And this control should also be invisible!

Even if it is a party, it doesn't know the way, in ordinary life, this thing will not have a normal thinking about the party

Only when the parties intend to do something unfavorable to the Bright Sun family, or when they are faced with a dilemma, will this forced injection of thinking emerge and invisibly affect the decision of the parties!!

In Xia Jian's view, such control. is the most perfect ......

……

So......

At that time, Xia Jian was actually gambling!

The ancestors of the Jiaoyang clan who were gambling on it would also think about it like themselves......

As for the results......

It already goes without saying!

It's not ......

Xia Jian not only escaped from the City of Hope unscathed, but also from the old man. A set of unique golden armor and weapons came to you......

……………………………………

Time passes......

In the blink of an eye, more than ten months have passed since the Great Destruction......

During these ten months, the thick clouds in the sky made up of radiation dust became thinner and thinner over time, under the self-repair of the earth!

But the sky. But it's still bloody!!

The air is still floating, and there is a lot of air mixed with the X virus!

And the density is getting denser......

Follow this trend......

The word blue sky, perhaps, will forever become a thing of the past?

Of course......

One more thing. I have to mention......

Although the nuclear fallout shrouded in the sky, thinner and thinner!

But with the arrival of winter!

Far from getting better, the climate in the Northern Hemisphere is getting worse......

This is the case......

The more inland you are, the closer you are to the north. The situation is getting worse and worse!!

I dare not say it anywhere else......

At least in this part of central China. Dripping into ice, peeing into sticks, before the Great Breakdown, for the locals, only existed with legends, things have become more and more common!

It's just not a good thing!!

After all, now, even if you go to pee, you have to fight quickly, and carefully prevent your little friends from becoming popsicles!!

If you're not careful......

That's a father-in-law!!

……

Rice County!!

Located in the southwest of North Lake!

Before the Day of Apocalypse. Especially in the early days of reform, relying on geographical advantages. It used to be the most famous land of fish and rice in the entire central region of China......

But with the tide of reform and opening up!

The once beautiful land of fish and rice has slowly become a childhood memory!

Instead......

It's the towering chimneys, and the stench of the black river!!

Until the end of the world comes......

All traces of the past have been buried under the thick ice and snow! It has become history, quietly waiting, in the distant future, to see the light of day again!!

At this moment......

In the back of the city of Mi County......

"Click......"

A series of very faint crisp sounds suddenly came from a dense forest!

That's the soles of your shoes, the sound of stepping on the snow!!

Really......

Soon after the voice was heard, a dark figure dressed in a large, black robe burst out of the dense forest.

It's like a ghost!

A few ups and downs, it appeared on the road not far from the woods!!

Due to heavy snowfall......

At this time, the road is completely out of sight!

On the side of the road, however, several street signs, where one-third of the iron rods were buried in the snow, stood crookedly......

On one of the street signs, it was suddenly written: The estuary is small!

"Hoo ......"

Seeing this street sign, the figure who had just come out of the dense forest exhaled heavily!!

"It's finally here!!"

After speaking......

The man lifted the hood on his head!

The next moment, a golden helmet suddenly appeared from under the hood!

A golden metal helmet that shines in the sunlight and shines dazzlingly!!

Look at this man's face......

Isn't it exactly, Xia Jian, who has disappeared for almost two weeks!!

But......

Isn't Xia Jian going back to his hometown, the urban area of Guling City?

Why does it appear here in Mi County, which is located southwest of Guling City?

Have you walked through?

…………

Maybe it's really homesick!!

Since leaving the City of Hope, Xia Jian has walked all the way to the west for ten days before he can enter the vicinity of Guling City!!

During these ten days......

Xia Jian has experienced many difficulties and countless difficulties and obstacles!

Not to mention how many demons and blood clans have been encountered!

Not to mention how many roadblocks and robberies I encountered!!

Just in order to confirm Guling City and find the location where Guling City is located, Xia Jian got lost no less than ten times!!

Since it's lost!

Then you will naturally have to take the wrong road!

Carefully calculated, along the way, the unjust road taken by Xia Jian may not be less than one-third of the total distance!

No way!

Who made Xia Jian's sense of direction not good!

And now there is no GPS for him to use!!

Fortunately, Xia Jian is alone, with strong strength and fast legs, so he doesn't have to worry about his safety all the time, and when he encounters an ordinary blood clan and demon clan, he will take a detour, and he doesn't have to worry about food!

If this were someone else's......

If you get lost like him, it is estimated that it will not take a year and a half, and you will not be able to reach your destination at all!!

It's not ......

At the beginning, it took more than a month for those three foreign devils to finally arrive in Guling City!

Stumbling all the way down......

It wasn't until two days ago that Xia Jian inadvertently walked on a section of the highway, and on the highway, he found the relevant signs to Guling City!

Only then did I finally find a way to stop myself from getting lost!!

(If it were someone else, maybe I would have thought of it a long time ago!!) ）

(But there is no way, Xia Jian's situation is a bit special!) Xia Jian didn't know how to drive, and when he lived in Guling City, he rarely went far away! So that in the past ten years, except for the surrounding areas of Guling City, a limited number of place names, the other cities, he is the kind of typical Zhilu Dao name, but he doesn't know the specific location of the road idiot!! ）

……

After that, Xia Jian didn't get lost......

But this way down the way, the last one actually ran over the head again!!

In desperation......

Xia Jian can only go back the same way!!

Until......

When passing through Mi County, seeing the familiar place name of Mi County, Xia Jian broke off the highway again and entered the urban area of Mi County!!

Why come here in Mi County?

In fact, even Xia Jian himself can't say a specific reason now!!

Maybe it's just a matter of checking it out!!

After all......

More than ten years ago, when his parents had just disappeared and his brother had learned to play the initial period of disappearance, Xia Jian, who had no relatives, was adopted by a couple who lost their children at an early age in Mi County with the help of enthusiastic people, and lived here for almost two years!

So Xia Jian came to see the couple who had adopted him?

Are you kidding!!

Ever since the day the couple decided to sell themselves as human traffickers, Xia Jian had already broken off with them!!

Now that Xia Jian doesn't trouble them, it's already their great luck!

Do you still want Xia Jian to worry about them?

That's a dream!!
