Chapter 55: Prelude to the Storm
At the foot of the mountain, the wind and snow are still there, and the huge pure white snow-capped mountains stand in this underground world, which at first glance seems to link the sky and the earth.
High above the gray sky, you can faintly see the yellowish rock at the top.
As for why there are snowflakes falling here, creating such a spectacle, no one knows.
On an open slope on the mountainside, white snow covered the ground like a blanket of snow.
Three figures flashed across the ground, running fast across the snow, approaching a steep snow wall above the slope.
In a moment, the first person leaped, flew over the previous cliff, ran a few steps, and stopped to stand.
I saw that after he stopped, he raised one hand above his head, followed by the two people who fell, and after receiving his instructions, stopped not far behind him.
The person at the head was a middle-aged man, dressed in black, with black gas on his body.
I saw that his eyes were sharp, and he looked around, and suddenly, his gaze stopped, and he locked on a clearing in the distance.
Then he looked back left and right at the two people next to him, who were also bubbling black, gave them a look, and stretched out his hand to point to the empty snow.
The two people in the back looked at the hand of the man in black, their expressions seemed to be surprised.
Diagonally above the clearing, a hole appears there out of thin air, because it is far away, the hole is very small, and it is really difficult to find if you don't look closely!
After hearing a young man in the back approaching the middle-aged man, he leaned his head and whispered: "Captain, how can there be a cave there, it seems to be a little strange." β
Even a young man can find out that there is a problem, how can a middle-aged man, as the captain, feel normal.
The middle-aged man was expressionless, staring at the cave in the distance, and muttered: "Although the range of this mountainside is very large, there is basically no place to hide at a glance. As General Holman said, the human had been coming up for so long, and if he hadn't made it to the top of the mountain, he must have been hiding somewhere on the mountainside. β
The voice was not loud, but the two people in the back could hear it clearly.
At this time, another emaciated man in the back also stepped forward respectfully and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency the captain, I think that guy must be in this cave, do you want to go over and check it." I don't know if the other groups have gained anything, it's time to return, and if that guy is in there, we can make a contribution when we go back. And with the ability of the three of us, even if we are discovered, there should be no problem in escaping. β
These three people were one of the reconnaissance teams that Holman first sent to investigate, the latter two were four-star great swordsmen with strength, and the captain in front had reached the level of five-star great swordsmen.
Don't look at the difference of only one level, if you compare a five-star and a four-star level Great Sword Master, the five-star can definitely fight two at a time when it gives full play to its strength.
And Cun Mang is an accident, the reason why Cun Mang can skip the challenge is because he was unexpected, plus the opponent is underestimated, and his sword skills with special power, these things together can fight with the other party to lose both.
It can be seen that there is a certain reason why the five-star great swordsman is called invincible under the sword master.
Not everyone is an inchman, and not everyone has the spirit of being afraid of death.
But in the case of the same level, there is still a gap in strength, such as Liu Wumo and Werewolf Paul, basically they are already at the peak, and Lisa, who is also a Sword Master, is not a werewolf Paul at all.
It can be seen here that it is not for nothing that the two men in the rear have such respect for the men in front.
I saw the middle-aged man squinting at the thin man on the other side, his eyes were gloomy and cold.
The emaciated man's heart was cold, and his head was slightly tilted back, what happened?
Just listening to the sound of a snort, the middle-aged man instantly raised his hand, pinched the thin man's cheeks, grabbed him closely, stared at him with Sen Ran's eyes and said: "Are you stupid? Take General Holman's words as a deaf ear? If you want to take credit, you also have that life, that guy can escape under General Holman under the hands of General Holman when you are a papier-mΓ’chΓ©? The three of us dared to approach, it's good that we weren't discovered, if we are discovered, don't say that we can startle the snake, I'm afraid it would be good to go back alive!"
Then he stretched out his other hand, patted his pinched face gently, and said with a smile: "You have also practiced for more than two thousand years, and you are already a soul who has achieved the strength of a four-star great sword master, and your brain is a good thing, you can't live without it." β
When the young man on the other side saw this scene, he was also extremely frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to breathe.
The emaciated man only felt that the other party's smile was extremely terrifying, and he was speechless to refute it, so he had to nod blankly.
The middle-aged man seemed to be very satisfied with the other party's attitude, let go of the other party casually, then turned around and pushed the two away, walked to the rear, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and report, we are only responsible for investigation, and we don't have to worry about other things." β
After saying that, he didn't care about the two of them anymore and left quickly.
The two in the rear turned to look at each other, and then immediately followed the footsteps of the middle-aged man.
Just as the few people were leaving, not far above the cave, in a pile of boulders beside the cliff, a man in light armor and a young man in a white suit hid behind and looked at each other.
I only heard the young man sigh, looked at the three departing black shadows in the distance, and said softly: "It seems that the old monster really guessed it, this is the prelude to the coming storm, and we may have to face a fierce battle next." β
The light-helmeted man on the side nodded and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I know these three people, and they are one of our battalion reconnaissance teams. β
The young man turned his head to look at him, showing a look of surprise: "Reconnaissance team?"
The light-helmeted man explained: "The reconnaissance team is the team set up to reconnoiter the enemy's situation before the group battle of our battalion, under normal circumstances, it is a group of three, and the strength is not low, and the minimum is the strength of a four-star great sword master. There are dozens of such groups in our battalion. β
After a pause, he said: "These three people are quite strong in the entire reconnaissance team, and the middle-aged man at the head is the captain of their group, and he has reached the strength of a five-star great sword master, and his reconnaissance skills are quite high, and his vigilance is quite high. Otherwise, if the general reconnaissance team came across the cave below us, they would definitely have to come and investigate. β
Behind the boulder, the two sneaky people are Liu Wumo and Rachel, who are hiding and observing.
At this moment, Rachel's face is no longer scarred, the soul entity is not an ordinary corpse, the soul is attached to it is equivalent to having life, except for no heartbeat, no body temperature, everything else is the same as a human being, and the minor injuries suffered are basically shrouded in the soul qi, and they can recover quickly.
Liu Wumo has been in contact with Rachel for a while and is very clear about this, so he doesn't care at all whether Rachel is injured or not.
