Chapter 55: Heart-to-Heart

"I don't know."

Lin Feng's answer made Yang Yi speechless.

"Although there are a lot of rumors from the outside world, only the participants know what is going on. The problem is that these people are very secretive about the content of the trial and never mention it to outsiders. Lin Feng paused slightly, and then said, "However, there are two things that are definitely true. ”

"Which two?"

"Every hermit is put to trial and judged by it. Although the hermit clan has high-ranking rulers such as royalty, elders, and gods, any hermit, even a noble-born hermit like Princess Siga, can only be recognized by the clan after passing the trial. It's a bit like our rite of passage, but it's more brutal and impactful. ”

"This ......"

Lin Feng pressed his hand, stopped Yang Yi's words, and said, "Out of every 10,000 hidden spirit people, there is probably only one who can pass the trial. Only the hermit who has passed the trial enjoys the privilege of gaining an almost infinite lifespan with abundant material resources and advanced technology. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and now he understood.

Although the Hidden Spirit Race is one of the seven top civilizations of the Galactic Alliance, and its strength and influence are not much different from the Lei Ling Race, like other civilizations, the Hidden Spirit Race also has to face the problem of resource shortage. Because prolonging one's lifespan requires a lot of resources, not every hermit person is immortal. Trials are an effective way to control the rate at which resources are consumed, ensuring that the Hidden Spirits are always strong and thriving.

"What about the other thing?"

"The trials are not only for the hermitted, but also for the foreigners. To put it simply, the only way for a foreign race to gain recognition and acceptance from the Hidden Spirit is through trials. It's just that the trials that are extremely difficult for even the hermit people to pass are even more difficult for the foreign races. I don't know much about the other races, but in the last thousand years or so, only one member of the Human Federation has passed the trial and thus become a guest of the Hidden Spirits. ”

"Who?"

"Zhan Ruilin, Lin Shuai."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and then understood. It is no wonder that the Third War Zone is specially favored by the Hidden Spirit Clan, and it turns out that there is still this relationship.

Lin Feng sighed secretly, and said, "Back then, in order to win the help of the Hidden Spirit Clan, Lin Shuai himself went to the Hidden Spirit Star to undergo the trial. Although he returned safely half a year later and brought back four legendary fighters, he has not been on the battlefield since, at least not against the enemy. In addition, before going to the Hidden Spirit Star, Lin Shuai was already a human warrior, and he was at his peak, and his combat power would not be much worse than that of the Earth Soul Warrior. ”

"So strong?"

"Do you think that any one person can sit firmly in the position of commander of the third theater of operations for a thousand years?"

"This ......"

"Amy is warning you, even if your talent is stronger than ordinary people, without the combat power of a warrior, it is absolutely impossible to pass the trial."

"So, I'm going to be a human warrior within a year."

Lin Feng was secretly surprised, when Yang Yi said this, his tone was very flat, it seemed to be an ironclad thing, and there would be no mistakes.

Where did he get his confidence?

Of course, Lin Feng was only slightly surprised, because Yang Yi never lacked self-confidence, and sometimes people felt that his self-confidence was too blind.

"It's a pity, it's only one year, but it's not too short."

"Ah Yi ......"

"I've decided." Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully. "Repair the 'Ice and Snow Tiger' first, give your grandfather an explanation, and settle our affairs. Next, we will seize every opportunity to improve our combat power. A year later, the Hidden Spirit Star saw the real chapter. ”

"Actually......"

"Xiaofeng, this is not only for us, but also for the entire Human Federation." Yang Yi seemed to notice Lin Feng's expression, and still said to himself, "The Lei Ling clan secretly wooed the Luo family, and it was clear that they wanted to use the Luo family to control the third war zone, and then control the entire human federation. If there was no special reason, the Lei Ling Clan would not do such a thing to offend the Hidden Spirit Clan, and the Wanluo War Emperor would not have formed a bond with the Heavenly Saint Emperor for this. ”

"You mean ......"

"There is only one plausible explanation, the Sixth Greenwich War is about to break out. The Human Federation is located in the frontier zone, and the Third Theater is responsible for guarding the middle of the Greenwich Line, so the success or failure of the Third Theater will determine the situation in the early stages of the war. It's just that the relationship between Lin Shuai and the Hidden Spirit Clan makes the third war zone not affected by the Wanluo War Emperor, which makes the Wanluo War Emperor feel uncertain. In the same way, the Heavenly Saint Emperor would suddenly appear. ”

After listening to Yang Yi, Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully.

"However, there is at least one more year, otherwise the Heavenly Saint Emperor will not make a one-year appointment."

"If that's the case, you'll have to go to the Hidden Spirit Star."

Yang Yi nodded, the two of them were heart-to-heart, of course he understood the meaning of Lin Feng's words.

Zhan Ruilin is the only human who has passed the trial of the Hidden Spirit Clan for more than a thousand years, and he is definitely the strongest in the Third War Zone and even the Human Federation. The problem is that what happened to him in the trial back then, Zhan Ruilin never mentioned it to others. In addition, Zhan Ruilin is already an old man of more than 1,000 years old, and even if he hibernates for a long time, his physical condition will not be much better. If war breaks out, what the third theater needs most is a strong man who can replace Zhan Ruilin, at least assist Zhan Ruilin, and help him stabilize the situation, and it needs to be recognized. Going to the Hidden Spirit Star and passing the trials of the Hidden Spirit Clan to gain the recognition and acceptance of the Hidden Spirit Clan is the best way to be recognized in the Third War Zone.

Lin Feng held Yang Yi's hand, although he didn't say anything, everything was silent.

After snuggling up to each other for a while, Yang Yi got up and left.

To deal with this kind of thing, Yang Yi did not let Lin Feng participate. Anyway, Lin Feng is a woman, and she is still the eldest lady of the Lin family.

As for what happened to the Confusing Star, both of them thought that it would not be good for publicity for the time being. It's not that I'm afraid of being retaliated against by the Luo family, but there's no need to make things bigger. Not to mention provoking Zhan Ruilin, even if Lin Xiaoting and Luo Zhenyu come forward, the relationship between the Lin family and the Luo family will break down, and Du Wantu will only benefit in the end. This matter also involved the Lei Ling clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan, and no one could end it when they were troubled.

Of course, Yang Yi remembers this hatred firmly.

When the Shadow came out of the jump tunnel, Aaron had already processed the materials he had downloaded from the Warzone Database. What Yang Yi is looking for is a beast's den, which must be a celestial body with a relatively large volume. Because the garrison can't be made known, there aren't many clues that can be used.

The Greenwich meteorite belt stretches for hundreds of light-years, and the most important thing is the huge size of the celestial bodies. Because there are so many, the Human Federation does not name these celestial bodies, but divides them by region and gives them corresponding numerical numbers. According to incomplete statistics, there are hundreds of millions of celestial bodies with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, and about 30 million within the jurisdiction of the Third War Zone.

There are not enough clues to find a beast den in so many celestial bodies, and there is a tenth-level silicon beast inside, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

After discussing with Lin Feng, Yang Yi decided to try his luck in the northern part of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt.

Although it was more dangerous, Lin Feng did not object.

The Greenwich Meteorite Belt is the boundary between the northern and southern alpha galaxies, like a bottleneck in the middle of an hourglass. After the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Galactic Alliance and the Silicon Alliance signed an armistice, which designated the Greenwich Meteorite Belt as a military exclusion zone, stipulating that only orderly garrisons could be deployed in the area, and if regular armies such as fleets and marines were deployed, it would be considered an act of war.

According to the armistice, the Greenwich meteorite belt is divided into two regions from the middle, the north and the south, the southern region belongs to the Galactic Alliance, and the northern region belongs to the Silicon Alliance. Although bound by the armistice, the Silicon Alliance did not deploy regular troops to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, but like the Galactic Alliance, it did deploy garrisons.

Of course, for Lin Feng, the garrison of the Silicon Charm Alliance was nothing to fear.

The "Shadow" is one of the best reconnaissance ships in the Third Theater, not only is it fast, but also has a strong camouflage ability, and it has often gone to the northern sector to carry out reconnaissance missions in the past. In addition, the Special Reconnaissance Brigade is originally a secret force, and it is simply common to go to the North District to engage in sabotage.

Ready, the Shadow made a second space jump.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Feng gave Yang Yi a general introduction to the situation in the North District.

"According to you, compared to the North District, the South District is a paradise."

"Almost." Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "Although the Human Federation is not powerful, the Greenwich Meteorite Belt is the first and last line of defense to guard the home galaxy. A thousand years ago, when the armistice agreement was signed, the commanders of the three major theaters thought that it was a dead letter, of no value, and only shirked the decisive battle that should have come a long time ago. Even if people today have forgotten the cruelty of war, the three theaters of war have never relaxed. With military control, the situation in the southern region is barely passable, at least those pirates and mercenaries dare not do anything wrong. It's a different story in the North End. The control and management of the North District by the Silicon Charm Alliance is in vain, not that it is not important, but it is not necessary. Unable to gain a foothold in the South, the North became a stronghold for pirates and mercenaries. And, of course, there are the more dangerous wild silicones. In fact, the Silicon Charm Alliance's laissez-faire approach to the North District is also an effective defensive strategy. If the Galactic Alliance were to attack, it would be extremely difficult to deal with the pirates and mercenaries entrenched in the North, as well as the large number of wild silicons. ”

Yang Yi nodded and said, "It will take a lot of time, and by the time the Northern Region is cleared, the Silicon Charm Alliance will be ready for war." ”

Lin Feng sighed and didn't say anything more.

"That's not a bad thing, though." Yang Yi smiled and said, "Even if we make a mess in the North District, we won't get into trouble, at least we don't have to worry about triggering the Sixth Greenwich War." ”

"It's better to keep a low profile."

"Of course, we just went to find a tenth-level silicon beast and obtain the life crystals of the 'Cold Ice and Snow Tiger', there is no need to take the initiative to cause trouble."

Lin Feng was speechless, although Yang Yi looked like he was swearing, but no matter how he looked at it, he was not very reliable.
