Chapter 12: The Story
When the four of them walked out of the valley, they were still immersed in the sequelae of the marriage proposal, Li Rui and Jennifer glued tighter, Ah Xun and Wendy felt more and more that the atmosphere was very unnatural, Jennifer was overjoyed after accepting Li Rui's ring, and was not interested in the other two loot at all, and finally the handwritten notes, as well as the key and map, were all in Ah Xun's pocket.
"I'd like to go check out your spaceship. When parting, Wendy suddenly changed her mind, for what reason, even she didn't know, she still remembered that the original plan was obviously not like this, and she also wanted to go to the Valley of Wailing to lure out the two beasts, show her lethality as a junior ability, and complete her expected dismount. As a result, not only did he fail to shine, but he was stunned by the other party's various amazing behaviors, and now even his thinking is a little confused.
Although the three of them were very puzzled by Wendy's sudden change, they were happy to accept it, "It's just that the conditions must be said first, we are always welcome friends from Nohir to visit the mothership for guidance, however, this is an extraordinary time, if you go back with us, maybe you have to wait until the earthlings and the Nohir people make a breakthrough on the issue of the earthlings' residency rights in Nohir, and even after the two sides reach a consensus and the problem is properly resolved, you can return to Danas, which may not be a good thing for you." Li Rui saw that there was still a turning point in the infiltration mission, and immediately diverted a little attention from Jennifer. "Why? You earthlings are so complicated. Wendy felt that she had already made it clear that she had expressed her friendly attitude, so why impose restrictions, but the idea of going to a spaceship obviously still prevailed, "But the council will be held in two days, and it won't be a big deal for me to play with you for two days, anyway, I have already mastered the basic courses on mental power release in the past few days." β
"Mental power is released? Li Rui, why didn't you tell me? Are you going to hide your secrets? It's so disappointing, we're all friends. "Ah Xun's receiving frequency band is obviously no longer on the same line as Li Rui, and his attention is completely different.
"This is wrong, I am going to wait until the whole course is over, and then put it into a whole set and then serve it with both hands. β
"Count you as a kid. β
"Do you want to learn? I can teach you, it's all basic courses, it's easy. Well, in exchange, take me on a tour of your mothership, with room and board!" Wendy found a new chip and immediately began to raise.
Not far from the four of them, on the edge of the jungle that originally looked empty, the Eagle gradually revealed its figure, and Ah Xun glanced at Wendy, who was very surprised: "What are you waiting for, passengers, please hurry up and board the plane!"
Pat felt that he might have made a mistake, he went all the way to the south-southeast direction, seven hours have passed, during which he continued to use the flying ability to hurry, at least four hundred kilometers deeper, and still did not see the shadow of the spaceship, it seems that the aliens' route and his estimated direction have deviated, Pat chose the route from Danas to the shortest straight line from the Turing Gobi, so if the aliens are not coming straight towards the Gobi, their stopping place is completely impossible to judge, Pat now does not know which direction he should go, continue to move forward, is the center of the Gobi, Pat can't be sure that he has just stepped into the level of a high-level ability, whether he can haunt the forbidden area of life at will, turn back, and wait for tomorrow to search again, and it is a search without any clues, the timeliness of the task is required to be completed within three days, if you don't find it as soon as possible, you will face the task overtime, after the time, it is equivalent to the failure of the mission, and you have to return the advanced dragon scale coins and water of life to the association, which wastes the rent of the airship, and the gain outweighs the loss, Pat took out the life potion and glanced at it, and then became very determined, since the aliens are not taking the best route, that is, the best place to stop is chosen, on the edge of the southwest of the Turing Gobi is a group of hills, although the height is not more than a kilometer, if a little arrangement, as a base, it can still occupy a certain geographical advantage, if so, it seems that the aliens also considered the possibility of war.
The Eagle can reach a top speed of 1,600 kilometers per hour, so it only takes more than two hours to return to the mothership from outside Danas City, Ah Xun is very confident in his piloting ability, and during the flight, he constantly asks Wendy about the ability improvement of the Nohil people.
"Oh my God, someone is flying in the sky!" Jennifer, who was showing affection to Li Ruixiu, saw an incredible scene from the window, there was a person flying in the sky, and he was chased and killed by a group of flying insects!
In the southeast direction, a person with a travel bag is flying towards the Eagle, behind this person, a group of large mosquitoes, chasing after them, these mosquitoes, each of which is the size of an adult, the wings are stretched out, more than two meters wide, tens of thousands of mosquitoes at the same time fanning their wings, inside the Eagle seem to be able to hear the buzzing vibration, the scene, overwhelming.
"He should be a high-level ability, although the ability below the intermediate level also has a lot of abilities beyond ordinary people, but if you want to fly, you can only do it to the extent that your mental power is released, and this can only be done at least when the ability level reaches the advanced stage. After listening to Wendy's explanation, the three of them showed such expressions, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion about the ability of the Nohir people in terms of ability control, even if the degree of technological development is far from being comparable to that of the earthlings, but in terms of abilities, the Nohir people are obviously far ahead.
"Can we help him, otherwise when he runs out of energy, he will definitely be eaten by this group of insects!" Wendy's kind nature began to shine again, although she felt that even if she didn't say anything, no one would die without help.
"It is natural to help, the key is how to help?" Li Rui looked at the flight altitude and then at the flight speed, revealing a very helpless expression.
"Can you open the hatch and let him in?" Wendy made a request that Ah Xun felt was a good reflection of his driving skills.
"You are really naΓ―ve, at the current speed, once the hatch is opened, he doesn't come in, let's go out first!" Li Rui felt that it was necessary to correct this Nohir people's perception of their native aircraft and earth technology, the current flight speed and Nohir's aircraft are no longer on the same level at all, how could the hatch be opened casually?
However, as if to confirm Li Rui's statement, Ah Xun has begun to turn, and at the same time slowly slows down, it seems that he wants to adjust the Eagle to the same speed as the trapeze, and is ready to let people in according to the method Wendy said.
Pat felt that he was very unlucky, and he wasted a lot of time in choosing the wrong direction at first, but after changing the direction, he broke into the range of a super-large mosquito, that is, he killed two guys who tried to get close to him, and then he was chased by this bloodthirsty creature all the way, and his mental power was in danger of being overdrawn at any time.
When he was about to despair, a strange flying machine appeared in front of Pat's eyes, from the structural point of view, this flying machine was obviously not Nohir's style, "Alien technology, so fast!" Pat wanted to shout for help, but with his current physical condition, he was very worried that he would not be able to maintain enough flight speed after shouting, and he would not be saved at that time, but instead helped the mosquitoes behind him, and sacrificed himself as rations early.
Seeing that hope was getting farther and farther away, and was about to disappear from sight, the aircraft suddenly turned and moved closer to him, until it was less than ten meters away from him, turned around, adjusted to a flight speed similar to his own, and opened the hatch from the tail of the aircraft, and Pat rushed into the cabin without hesitation. After turning a few heels in a row, he finally stabilized his body, and before he could enjoy the happiness of being saved, he was shaken back a few steps by a burst of acceleration, and the hatch was not closed at this time, and he was about to be thrown out if he was not careful.
At this time, it was found that two giant mosquitoes were hanging dead on the edge of the hatch, and they were not thrown away by the acceleration, and they were lying down in the cabin with difficulty. Pat raised his hand and released two fireballs, smashing the mosquito out of the hatch, and it was only then that Ah Xun pressed the button to close the hatch.
Even if he was prepared, he was only in a hurry to complete the acceleration the moment the trapeze man rushed into the hatch, and was almost penetrated by the two mosquitoes, but fortunately, this high-level ability of Nohir has some real skills, otherwise he may not be able to deal with these two mosquitoes before there are casualties.
"You just sent two fireballs in an instant, isn't this something that only a legendary mentor-level magician can do?" Li Rui came out with a line that made everyone stunned.
Ah Xun and Jennifer are okay and can understand what Li Rui wants to express, while Wendy and Pat have no idea what a magician is and what level the mentor level is.
"It's you, why are you here?" Wendy thought it was too much of a coincidence when she saw Pat.
"I naturally have something to do, so why are you with aliens?"
"Hmph, you don't care. β
"Do you know each other?" Ah Xun also thought it was too strange, is there a small population in Nohir?
"This morning at the Paranormal Society, he wanted to steal a mission with me. β
"How can I say that I want to grab the task with you, and you rob the task I am going to take. Forget it, it's good that you grabbed that mission, and thank you for saving your life just now. Pat apparently didn't think there was anything to say about it, after all, someone else had saved him.
"What are you going to do in the Turing Gobi, is there anything you can do in the Life Forbidden Zone?" Wendy suddenly thought of this, thinking that Pat's behavior was too deliberate, he couldn't be a stalker, right?
Of course, Pat didn't see Wendy's thoughts, but replied naturally: "Of course there is, there are people in the Life Forbidden Zone now, aren't they?
"What you're going to do has something to do with us?" Ah Xun suddenly became alert, what could happen now that could make a Nohir risk his life to come to the human gathering place?
"Yes, I was tasked with going to your camp and telling a story. Pat didn't hear the inappropriateness in Ah Xun's words, but just explained the meaning truthfully.
"Storytelling? You Nohir people have a lot of time, so idle?" Li Rui also began to think that there must be something wrong with this guy, risking his life to tell a story, no matter how you look at it, it's nonsense.
"They can live to be 1,700 years old, which is a lot of time. Ah Xun replied with a smile, of course he wouldn't think so.
"Naturally, it's not because I'm idle, I'm here to tell you about a piece of the history of the Turing Gobi. Pat began to have a sense of justice again, and said a sentence that made Ah Xun want to throw him out: "I'm here to save you!"
"You can pull it down!" Li Rui directly rolled his eyes.
"Honey, I think this guy is so good at pretending!" Even Jennifer couldn't help it.
Ah Xun seemed more patient, and glanced at Pat, "You might as well talk about it, it's good, I can not kill you." β
"What?" Pat felt that the aliens were really not so easy to get along with, and he would turn his face when he said it!
Regarding Pat's reaction, Ah Xun was very helpless, so he had to explain again: "It's just a joke, as a savior, you have no humor cells." β
"Once upon a time......
"Wait, does this sound like a child's story at the beginning?" was interrupted by Li Rui as soon as he said a word.
"Please don't interrupt me, it's rude. Pat glanced at Li Rui, who had a strange expression, and continued to say to himself: "In the past, the Turing Gobi was not as barren as it is now, it was after the fall of the gods......
"Wait, you don't have to talk about it, the gods have fallen, and you have to have a bit of a level of deception, okay, have you ever seen a god?" Li Rui grimaced and interrupted Pat again.
"Of course I haven't seen the gods, because they fell a long time ago!" Pat felt indignant, how could he have seen a god who had disappeared thousands of years ago?
"You win, you keep talking!" Seeing Pat's unhappy expression, Li Rui finally returned his attention to Jennifer with satisfaction.
"After the fall of the gods, there was an unprecedented division war in Nohir, one side was the Nohir Council, the other side was the rebels, both sides had hundreds of transcendents, the war scene was extremely fierce, it can be said that it was bloody, the beacon was full of fire, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, oh, sorry, it was far away, in short, the war lasted for more than ten years, the strong men on both sides were killed and wounded, and both sides were also greatly injured, and finally it was the moment of the decisive battle, the battlefield was in the former Turing Plain, the rebels were almost wiped out in that war, and the leader of the rebels remained here forever, and before he died, he launched a curse on this landSince then, the Turing Plain has no grass, strange insects are rampant, and people and animals have no way to continue to live in this barren land, and the Turing Plain has become the Turing Gobi, the forbidden area of life of the Nohil people. β
The story is quite exciting, but it seems that there are too many loopholes, why is it only cursed on this one piece of land? Why don't strange insects wreak havoc elsewhere? It always makes people feel unreliable. Seeing that Pat had no follow-up, Ah Xun finally asked a very unnutritious sentence: "That's the story you want to tell?"
"Yes, that's all!"
"The mission is for you to tell this story to the earthlings?" As if he couldn't believe that this kind of mission could be considered a mission, Ah Xun expressed deep doubts, this story is too pediatric.
"Yes, it's easy, isn't it? But I almost finished it!" Pat was still terrified at the thought of the swarm just now.
"Have you heard this story before?" Ah Xun felt the need to examine it, and asked Wendy instead.
Wendy recalled carefully: "I've heard it, and that's roughly what he said." β
"This is a conspiracy to shake the determination of the earthlings to develop the Turing Gobi through mythological stories, which will lead to a war between the earthlings and the Nohirs. Ah Xun made his own conclusions, as if it made sense, at least for now.
"How can a human being be shaken by a story?" Wendy wondered.
"Before the appearance of mutants, humans didn't believe in such things as abilities before, and when Nohir appeared, how could they guarantee that humans couldn't believe in myths?"
"Then are we going to shut up this guy?" Li Rui was more interested in this.
"There's no need, it's just a small gesture, and our reaction is too fierce and makes the people behind it cautious. β
"Do you think his story is likely to be true?"
"I'm not sure either, but I think someone must know, but I'm not sure if he's willing to tell us the truth. Ah Xun looked into the distance, and the mothership was already looming.
