Chapter 328: An Unexpected Encounter
readx;? The introduction was not said by Marven Kitty, but by an old man with gray hair, who was waiting for a few people in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
It was the first time for Hou Ruifeng to see an elderly transcendent person, he looked at it carefully, and saw that the old man on the other side had a lot of wrinkles, but his strength was vaguely perceived, so he nodded thoughtfully.
This guy is certainly not simple.
"I'm Cromwell. The old man's opening remarks were simple and clear, nodded kindly, invited a few people to sit down, and then said, "I wasn't going to trouble you, just take some time, but a month ago, the people we kept to observe came with the news, saying that the tribe over there blocked the inner world and prevented people from entering casually." ”
"Do you know the details?" asked Hou Ruifeng, if there was detailed information, he would be able to get some things in a targeted manner.
"No, the patriarch hasn't been passed back either, but ......" Cromwell thought for a moment, "we guess it's definitely another tribe that is summoning some ice creatures, you may not know, the territory over there is not fixed, it will change frequently, according to some rumors and their accounts, they are following the traces of their ancient ancestors, and want to wake up with the power of prayer, because tens of thousands of years ago, their ancestors suddenly fell into a deep sleep, of course, this is their rhetoric." ”
Hou Ruifeng nodded silently, and before he could speak, Cromwell continued: "Marven told you about the situation of Thunder Dusk, no one knows why this specific information is, maybe the big forces can know, we only know that they are not observing the inner world, nor the tribe, because they have never shown interest in this area, even if some extraordinary people intervene, it is their own actions, so you don't have to worry." ”
"yes, I see. ”
This is to make it clear that as long as you are reasonable, then you don't have to be afraid to confront the observer of Thunder Twilight, you can be tough, this is a bit unexpected by Hou Ruifeng, it seems that there is a lot of tacit understanding between the top forces, but there are also many contradictions.
He touched his chin, thought for a moment, and saw that Cromwell was no longer speaking, and several people were waiting for him, before he took the matter to heart and opened his mouth to ask, "What do you need?"
"Didn't the patriarch tell you? Cromwell smiled apologetically, he didn't know that Hou Ruifeng was not clear, and immediately explained, "It is a kind of ice core, which generally grows in the cold inner world, which is not easy to find, and is also occupied by people, so we have to spend a lot of effort to exchange it, and the powerful inner world of extraordinary creatures on the ice field, no one can occupy it, because it is the territory of the tribe, and it is also the occasion for them to exile extraordinary monsters." ”
Speaking of this, he was speechless, "We only recently realized that the reason why the monsters in that inner world are strong is because those tribesmen summoned monsters and discarded everything that did not meet their needs to a few inner worlds......
"That's the reason......"
Hearing this, not only Hou Ruifeng was speechless, but even the four of Marven Mik were similar.
"I'll just say that the patriarch talked about this topic last time, why was his face so ugly. Kitty muttered.
"Yes, those tribes' secret techniques are unique, I suspect that they directly summoned creatures from another world or the inner world, but unfortunately I heard that there are many restrictions, and they also need bloodlines as a guide, but I don't know if this is the research of Thunder Dusk. Cromwell shook his head.
Hou Ruifeng wrote down the situation, and became curious, he didn't know about the ice field in such detail, or ordinary people don't have this kind of information, so he couldn't help but think about it.
"The news of Sleep should be true, right? I just don't know if it's frozen, or what's going on, are those guys trying to summon? And this is the Ice Field, and that planet is also called the Ice Field by the Doll, is there a connection?"
Thinking of this, he casually asked, "Is there a Garden of Wonder on the Ice Field?" ”
"Haven't heard of it. Cromwell and Marvin shook their heads together.
"You still want to go to the Wonder Garden, how can there be such a good thing, there are only two of us in the mainland, or it takes more than a hundred years to open it, and the location is not fixed, but it is not easy to find." Kitty said.
"Forget it, if you don't have it, there will be no one, there are some of the big forces, I'll go and see it in a few days. Hou Ruifeng smiled, "Do you have anything to want, I'll go to the big forces to bring you something back, don't dare to say anything else, some resources must be no problem." ”
"Okay, okay, I need a lot of resources to get promoted to level five, you can bring me some back." Kitty was polite, and immediately muttered the names of several transcendent treasures.
Qiao Xi also said cautiously: "I don't know if there are cute monsters in those forces, can you bring me one back and be a dumb companion." ”
Dumb is the squirrel, Hou Ruifeng said briskly, "Okay, if you have words, I will definitely bring them back to you." ”
Cromwell smiled and didn't speak, he was well-informed, and naturally knew how attractive the big forces that didn't care about the world were to the young man in front of him. However, there is only nostalgia left for him.
He stood up and said, "That's about the case, this time the information has changed a little, you don't need to go directly to the inner world, you just go around and get familiar with it, there is no need to stay longer, I'll go first, let Mavenkiti accompany you." ”
"Good. Hou Ruifeng nodded.
A few people sent Cromwell away, and then they were pulled by Kitty to eat, they were really well prepared, cooking a room full of special food, and there were also all kinds of gifts piled up next to them, just waiting for Hou Ruifeng to take them away.
......
The cold wind howled, blowing people's faces numb, Hou Ruifeng also felt a little uncomfortable, so he reduced his speed, quickly crossed the sky, passed through the clouds, skimmed the earth, and came to a vast white field.
The snow is so continuous that it spreads to the edge of the stars, and when viewed from above, it seems to be connected to the sky, which is amazing, even at night.
This is the ice field.
The scenery here is like the Northeast in winter, where everything is hidden under snow and ice.
However, unlike Tohoku, there is snow all year round, and even in the hot summer, it melts and snowflakes fall from the sky.
The reason for this is that in the depths of the ice field, there is a super mountain range, which is like a big refrigerator that frantically makes snowflakes and is blown down by the wind.
"Tens of thousands of meters high mountains, if you have time, you have to go and see, it seems that few people can go up yet, because there is no fucking air, so that extraordinary people can resist, and even get a satellite to come over and observe the planet?"
In the aimless crankiness, go deep into it.
Tribes live around the mountains, moving around a unique schedule.
Hou Ruifeng is not going to the deepest place, it is a base camp hostile to outsiders, but people are not welcome to stay permanently, only some of the more friendly ones outside can accept some guys who observe and explore treasures, but if they move, they will usher in a new tribe, and they need to reorganize the relationship. This restricts the development of outsiders on the ice sheet.
As the target approached, a number of tents, large and small, appeared below, and outside were groups of black dots, not animals, but plants.
"The agriculture in this world is very powerful, there are crops that can be grown on the snow, and it is said that the production is still very good, so if I get some for the spaceship to analyze, wouldn't it be to get rich when I get it back to the earth, but I can't let it go, the spaceship also needs resources in this area." ”
Just do it when you think of it, greet the big monkey, let it temporarily focus its scanning attention on the plants below, and then look at no one, Hou Ruifeng plunged down and came to a piece of plants.
In the dark, these half-human-tall, tree-like crops had reached the time of harvest, and the fruits as big as green dates were abundant, ruddy in color, and the branches were bent, and some crystal snowflakes hung on them, which looked extremely beautiful.
"Snow dates, the name is really apt. ”
Hou Ruifeng generously reached out and took off a handful, threw one into his mouth and chewed it twice, and immediately stuffed a few more into it in surprise.
The taste is really good, it tastes like bananas and dates, but because of the low temperature, it is crunchy when chewed, like grapes in the refrigerator in summer, and it tastes good, with a special cold and fresh fragrance.
"Forget it, let's bring a little more, go back and give it to He Qingyan and them to eat, this is really a good thing, big monkey, do you say that the spaceship can be cultivated." ”
- "This crop is a normal crop and can be cultivated. ”
Hou Ruifeng immediately changed his plan, stretched out his hand to pick off all the snow dates in this piece, and made forty or fifty catties before flying back into the sky and heading towards the destination.
It wasn't far away, and before midnight, it reached the sky above a tribe, and the subtleties of the totems matched the instructions sent back by Matt.
"This is it. ”
Falling outside, Hou Ruifeng greeted the light snow and strolled towards the door of the tribe.
That's right, although this is a tent, but there is a thick wall with ice and snow around it, and some guards are guarding in various strongholds, because there are many herds of animals and big insects on the ice field, which is still enough to kill ordinary people.
And those extraordinary people can't protect all the time, just like a city, they need to deal with the attacks of animals here.
But it's also a pleasure.,Now the weapons are very developed.,Unless the monster is in ambush.,In other cases.,Once you come over, it will become food and supplies.。
"Who!"
A burst of cheers rang out.
There was a small tent at the entrance, and a few bright oil lamps swayed in the howling wind, illuminating a large area, and a strong man with a red face and piercing ears came out to pee, and saw the figure walking in.
"Passing ......" Hou Ruifeng approached speechlessly.
"Hmph...... Still passing by at night, or alone?" the man shook his head, looking a little unclear, already drunk, but the logic was very clear, "I don't even have a snowmobile, did you go out to poach, and you dare to come back!"
Then he stared at his misty eyes, carefully looked at Hou Ruifeng's outfit and face under the bright light, and said with certainty: "I have never seen you, otherwise I will definitely not forget, say! Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”
“......”
It's really painful to meet a more real drunk, and I would have flown in if I knew it, but at that time, I'm afraid it would be an extraordinary person in the tribe who intercepted it. Hou Ruifeng replied speechlessly, "I'm here to find Matt, you should know him, if you have an impression of him." ”
"Of course I know, no...... Aren't you...... That's right, you are wearing so little, you must be an adult......" The strong man drunk said with a stiff face, and then he realized what kind of person Hou Ruifeng looked like, who was not wearing too much, and immediately smiled wryly, pushed back a few steps, and pointed to the middle area of the tent, "The one with seven strings of snow dates hanging at the door is the tent where they live." ”
"Okay, thank you. ”
Hou Ruifeng nodded and walked inside.
"It seems that the transcendents here are really closely integrated with mortals. ”
During the meal, Kitty told him all the things he had heard in terms of intelligence and rumors, so that he had a more comprehensive understanding, and knew that this place was not like other places, and the extraordinary people were the existence of nobles, but they were not responsible for specific things, but only as honorary managers.
Although this is the case, it does not hinder their high-level status, and they do not have too many scruples, and the objects of marriage are basically mortals, so although there are fewer extraordinary people, the class is not fixed, and it has always been fluid.
Because it is only the transcendent who can attain the corresponding status, if not, then everything is not mentioned.
"In other words, there are no unspoken rules here?"
In this kind of thoughtfulness, I passed through the tribe that basically couldn't see people, and found a huge tent, which should be said to be a tent group, at least fifty meters long and seven or eight meters high, looking at the position of the curtains above, it is estimated that it is still double-layered, or even three-layered.
Lifting the heavy curtain, a hot air came out, fresh and pleasant, it seemed to come to a garden, in fact, it was really similar to a garden, because in the position of the door, two rows of shelves were placed, and many flowers and plants were placed on it, colorful and luxuriant.
Further inside is a lobby, where several women in simple and uniform clothes are laughing around a large brazier, eating and drinking with snow dates and water cups in their hands. A little bit behind is a counter, with two bright oil lamps.
This is the way to rest on the ice field, those women are welcome, and when they see him come in, they all stand up in surprise, and a young woman walks forward with a smile on her face, "Are you going to stay in a hotel?" ”
"I'm looking for someone to stay in, where does Matt live?"
Since he knew that the people here had a lot of knowledge about extraordinary people, Hou Ruifeng did not hide it.
These women also had guesses, and after hearing his question, they confirmed it, and said respectfully: "Master Matt went out not long ago, and he is not in the store for the time being. ”
"Forget it, let's get me a room first, and remember to talk to him when he comes back. Hou Ruifeng shook his head, not too anxious.
"Okay. ”
This hotel has a hot air flow throughout the whole process, it seems that the boiler is burned somewhere, except for some of the interface positions are metal, the others are a combination of hard wood, even the housing is, and the hotel outside is similar, except for no electricity, there are no corresponding facilities, toilets and the like are readily available, the sound insulation is also very good, walking in the passage can not hear the sound in the room.
And his location is not far from Matt.
Matt only brought the middle-aged woman he saw last time, and neither of them was there at the moment, so Hou Ruifeng walked around the hotel for a while, and took out a laptop to play boringly.
After seeing the Garden of Wonder, it really opened his mind and liberated him from some of his restrained movements, except that he didn't want people to see personal space and the big monkey, it didn't matter about these things, could it be more exaggerated than what he saw in the Garden of Wonder. Apparently not.
So he didn't hesitate to lie in bed, waiting for Matt to come back.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and the night was getting darker, but the people who were waiting had not returned.
"It's weird. ”
Hou Ruifeng played a game, touched his head, and felt that something was wrong, although the terrain and weather restrictions here did not prevail in electricity, but there were many small generators, and along the way, I heard a lot of buzzing behind the tents. The telegram must have been received a long time ago, but it was not clear why it had been out for so long when he came.
"Did there be an accident?"
Hou Ruifeng thought about it, stood up and walked to the window, opened the plastic window, and saw that there was no figure under the whistling wind and snow outside, so he rushed out of the window, hovered outside and closed the window, and flew into the sky, looking at the bright earth around him.
Only in the position of the tribe there are lights, through the not too big wind and snow fog, the monkey did not scan anomalies within a radius of hundreds or thousands of miles, there was no battle - no people were scanned, but the abnormal traces of the battle could be scanned.
"Or are they no longer here?
Just when he stayed in the sky and wanted to find clues, his expression suddenly moved, and he turned to look.
A man and a woman suddenly appeared from a high altitude, not very old, looking only in their twenties, the man was dressed in a formal suit, the momentum was calm, and the woman was dressed in a cool outfit, revealing Bai Shengsheng's arms and legs, flying not far from him, his face was full of surprise, as if he didn't expect to be here, and he would see people flying in the sky in this place.
"Who are you. The woman's eyes swept and asked haughtily. The man did not speak.
"I'm here to find someone, you ...... Is it the one of Thunder Dusk?" Hou Ruifeng said tentatively. The aura of the two is not strong, he is not under pressure, and his strength should not be too high. It's just that it's well disguised, and he doesn't know what the secret skills of the two of them are.
The man frowned, "You're here to find Matt, the one he's waiting for?"
The woman also knew that she pursed her lips and ignored Hou Ruifeng.
"That's right, I can't find him here. Hou Ruifeng nodded. Although the two did not have a definite answer, they had already acquiesced. This made him look at it curiously several times, trying to see what was the difference between the two.
