Chapter 28 Conspiracy
On the back of a giant python was actually three rows of crystalline scales, each of which was the size of a palm, extending from the head of the snake to the tail of the snake. The other python had only a row of crystal scales.
At night, the crystal scales of the giant python shine with a faint glow, and when it swims, it is like a band of light circulating, which is extremely mysterious and beautiful.
This is the crystal python, a fierce beast unique to the Eternal Night Continent, known for its poisonous mist, and the adult giant python that grows three rows of crystal scales has the combat power equivalent to a human soldier of the seventh or eighth level.
Qianye looked at the two crystal pythons and was thinking about whether to go down, but the smaller crystal python took the first step to find someone outside, and the python head was vigilantly erected high, with a big mouth, and suddenly a crystal flickering mist sprayed over.
Qianye turned sideways to avoid the poisonous mist, no longer hesitated, jumped off the cliff, and in an instant he had already pounced into the nest of the crystal python.
A bright red sword light flashed in the air, and the shining light teeth pierced the head of the crystal python with three rows of scales. It took Qianye almost eighty percent of his strength to insert the short knife into the gap in the skull, which shows how hard this big guy's head is, and with this strength, even an eagle strike can't blast its skull at once.
The python's vitality is extremely tenacious, even if its head is pierced, it still rolls desperately, almost slapping Qianye on the cave wall. At this moment, Qianye finally found an opponent to wrestle, holding the shining light tooth with one hand, and firmly tightening the crystal python with the other hand, with the rolling of the python's body, jumping between the cave walls from time to time, no matter how the crystal python shook, it was not left behind.
The wrestling lasted for a long time before the crystal python lay down and did not move.
The crystal python with a single row of scales on the other side was almost forced out of the cave by the churning energy, and only then did it find an opportunity and suddenly flew over and launched an attack on Qianye. However, its strength was far behind, it was only four or five levels, and it died under the shining light teeth in the blink of an eye.
When the night was at its deepest, Qianye climbed back to the top of the cliff. His backpack bulged out, filled with palm-sized crystal scales.
The scales of the crystal python have long been confirmed to be a type of crystal, and when injected with the Force, it will conjure up a beautiful halo. Therefore, the price of the crystal python's scales is quite high, and it is not only a raw material for low-level Force arrays, but also a popular jewelry material in the upper continent. It's just that the two crystal pythons are too big, and Qianye can't take away so many scales at all, so he only picks the best quality one to fill a backpack, which is less than one-third of the number.
Qianye returned to the cave where he lived, and his face suddenly turned a thick layer of blood, and he spit out clouds of pale red mist between his breaths.
When Fang had just killed the crystal python with three rows of scales, in order to prevent it from dying back, Qianye stabbed the last knife directly into its heart, and suddenly a huge amount of blood qi poured into his body from the shining fangs, and the strength was almost equivalent to that of a ninth-level dark warrior, but the quality was very poor and there were a lot of impurities.
For the first time, Qianye found that he could actually absorb blood from a dark beast like a crystal python, and the richness of the dark force contained in it was still above the dark warrior of the same level, and with the Song Clan's ancient scrolls, it didn't matter whether this blood from the beast was pure or not.
However, Qianye was a little puzzled, thinking of a detail that he had ignored in the past, as if the vast majority of alien beasts on the Eternal Night Continent possessed Force attributes were biased to the dark side?
In the following period, Qianye's itinerary traveled through several war zones, and he followed the signs on the map of the Wei family to see several predetermined battlefields of the dark race, and also observed the military strength of the expeditionary force, the main army of the empire, and the private army of the clan participating in the war.
For example, there have been a few times when he encountered the White Lord's private army before, and Qianye used his ultra-long-range sniper expertise to help the Imperial soldiers speed up or turn the tide of the battle, but as soon as the battle form became clear, he quickly left and no longer had more contact with those clans.
On an ordinary morning, on the Silver Light Plain on the northern edge of the Eternal Night Continent, a terrible battle had just ended.
In the past, this endless plain was overgrown with glow-in-the-dark grass, and under the black velvety night, it shone with a faint silver light, and from a distance, the whole plain looked like a huge glowing lake, rippling with layers of silver ripples. This used to be a landscape on the Eternal Night Continent, but after the expeditionary force lost several important strongholds nearby, the dark race began to haunt the Silver Light Plain, and no one came to sightsee.
Now, the entire Silver Light Plain has become unrecognizable, with traces of corrosion and burning everywhere, and some of the huge craters formed by the explosion can reach a radius of up to 100 meters. The silvergrass was almost completely burned, and a thin stream of green flowed from the bare brown soil, the bodily fluids of the spiders, a corrosive venom that destroyed all life in the soil and made it impossible to grow anything again.
Teams of Expeditionary Force and Imperial Legion soldiers are clearing the battlefield, removing corpses and relics and moving them to their designated locations. From the point of view of battlefield control, this tragic battle should have been won by mankind. But from the faces of a group of imperial generals standing on the edge of the battlefield, there was no joy in sight.
Among this group of generals in military uniforms, the white concave who still wears a wide-sleeved robe stands out as a maverick. However, she also has unique qualifications, in the Silver Light Theater, which includes three counties, she is the strong man in the town, and she can take over the military and political power of the entire theater if necessary.
Although the Silver Light War Zone is a second-level war zone, there is also a preset battlefield for the dark race here. And among the younger generation of strong people in the empire, there are still very few people who can independently defend one side.
The white bumpy shirt was full of bloodstains, and the shoulders and backs were broken in many places, and the wounds of flesh and blood could be faintly seen. Her face was pale and bloodless, and her breath was weak and unsteady, and she was obviously not lightly injured.
Most of the Imperial generals around her were more than twice her age, yet all of them looked at Bai Bump's eyes full of admiration and fear. This is not a tribute to Bai Valve, but because of her real record, in the battle that just ended, Bai Bump almost single-handedly killed the strongest person of the other party, which turned the tide of the battle with difficulty.
Looking at the tragic battlefield scene, an old general with gray hair sighed heavily and said, "We have won this, right?"
Another general smiled bitterly and said, "The dark race is defeated but not chaotic, and the retreat is orderly. We can only be considered a small victory. ”
The old general said with a gloomy expression: "My group army is all gone, and I may have to cancel the number after I go back." ”
One comforted: "No, if you make great contributions, the empire will definitely rebuild the 133rd Army." ”
"I hope so. The old general sighed and shook his head, still helpless.
These generals naturally knew that although the group army was rebuilt, it would also be reduced to a third-rate rank, and that a new army could not compare with the contingent they had brought up for many years.
Bai Bump's lowered eyes suddenly opened, and he said, "The total casualties on our side are more than 100,000, right?"
A general next to him hurriedly replied: "It's still counting, but according to my estimate, it may be more than 110,000." ”
Bai Bump seemed to be muttering to himself: "The regular soldiers of the dark race have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and the cannon fodder has also killed more than 100,000 people. What are they fighting this battle for?"
The generals looked at each other, and no one could answer. This battle was extremely tragic, the dark race came like a tide, one after another, completely fearless of life and death, the vast majority of them died with the imperial soldiers, and even did not hesitate to kill the casualties of the regular soldiers, almost making people suspect that the purpose of the dark race in this battle was to drag more imperial soldiers to die together.
The generals had no bottom in their hearts, and no one dared to speak more.
Bai Bump's figure suddenly flashed, and he instantly appeared dozens of meters away, squatted down next to the corpse of an expeditionary soldier, pulled out a short knife, and cut open the chest of the expeditionary force.
The generals were stunned by her sudden move, and then followed. Bai Bump never does anything meaningless, apparently discovering something abnormal.
Bai Bump pointed to the soldier's body, frowned, and said, "You see, he was killed by a sword piercing the center of his eyebrows by a high-level blood clan, and his body should not be affected." But now he's losing his vitality so fast, don't you think it's abnormal?"
Shortly after the warrior's death, his internal organs showed signs of withering, and this change continued in all organs in his body, and in less than two days, he would be completely reduced to a dry corpse.
A perceptive general suddenly plunged one hand into the ground, then grabbed a ball of dirt and squeezed it hard, and blood dripped from his fingers!
Seeing this scene, the general's face was solemn and he said, "It seems that this land has the effect of absorbing blood and vitality. No wonder I always feel a little heavy in the movements, this place can't stay for long. ”
However, if it is just the environment, then there is nothing to be afraid of, everyone present is strong, the qi and blood are stable and powerful, and the absorption power of the Silver Light Plain has no effect on them.
Bai Bump's eyebrows tightened, and he said slowly: "Maybe it's not that simple, don't forget, those old guys in the Eternal Night Council may be crazy, but there is no fool. Show me the military situation map again. ”
A major general's chief of staff took out the latest military situation map and pulled it open in front of Bai Bump. On this military map, a total of fifteen battlefields are marked, including the Silver Light Plain, there have been wars in seven places, and the Terrans have won three and lost four, with a slight advantage.
This is the battlefield preset by the dark race, so when the Terrans transfer troops accordingly, they have a slight advantage in terms of strength and military strength, and even so, they still lose more and win less.
Bai Bump stared at the fifteen battlefields, frowning and silent.
In fact, the Imperial War Department had already conducted a thorough analysis of these fifteen battlefields, including various line drawings, but all the patterns that came up were meaningless. There are also many people who have used the secret method of deduction, and even Lin Xitang deliberately rushed to the imperial capital from Western Xinjiang, but even the Great Yan Heavenly Trick also found nothing.
However, this result is not surprising, the dark side is said to have several giants of the Eternal Night Council in charge, with those old guys here, how can they deduce a plot from the secret method of the human race.
The old general said at this time: "Miss Bai, there have only been seven battles now, and there are still eight big battles to be fought in the future." Maybe a few more times before we can see some clues. ”
