Chapter 602: Voices from the World
"What is it?"
Lao Niu knew as early as three months ago that in the course of action formulated by Gu Chen, there were indeed places to be forcibly crossed, although they had already forcibly penetrated some places, but he did not know what the places to be forced to pass through and what dangers there were.
Gu Chen squinted and said, "It's around here, but don't worry about it for the time being, this way has come, there have been dozens of battles large and small, let's find a place to repair it first, and I'll talk to you in detail." ”
After saying this, Gu Chen directly waved the black knife in his hand, and then carved out a simple cave on the rock wall beside him.
In the humble cave mansion, Gu Chen swallowed two pills, released the Tianyuan Stone, and said while letting his body recover on its own, "Old Niu, it's been three months since we left the mermaid clan, right?"
The yin and yang transformation of the underworld, Gu Chen is still not clear, so he can only feel an approximate time.
"Exactly three months. After a large number of people surrounded Tianyuan Stone, Lao Niu came to Gu Chen's side, and saw that he was drawing something on the ground, and couldn't help but say, "What is this?"
"Map. Gu Chen put away the black knife in his hand and said, "We have now taken two-thirds of the way that the merfolk explored back then, but we are still nearly half the way to the location of the presumed Blood Eye. ”
Lao Niu pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Old Gu, I vaguely remember, the place explored by the mermaid clan, after the second half of the journey, there don't seem to be too many dangerous places. ”
"Well, that's the case, if you look at the exploration of the merfolk clan back then, the second half of the journey is indeed not as dangerous as the sea area in front, and it is completely possible to bypass it, but we must first get through this danger in front of us, if everything goes well, then after we survive this danger, next time, we can go directly to the core area near the blood eye. ”
Lao Niu knew what Gu Chen's core range of the Bloody Eye was referring to, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, this is a good thing, then tell me quickly, what is this last danger we are facing now?"
Swish!
Gu Chen took out the black knife again, pointed it on the ground and said, "This is where we are now. ”
Gu Chen's map, Lao Niu couldn't read it at all, but it didn't affect it at all;
"Now we have three directions to move forward. Gu Chen didn't care whether the old cow could understand it or not, and said, "One, go directly to the north, but you will encounter a natural danger, a sea quagmire." ”
"Sea quagmire?"
"Yes, there is a large sea area in front of it, and the sea water is very strange, according to the words of the mermaid king, it is like a quagmire, and it is difficult to pass, but it is just a waste of time, and there is no danger, it is said that there is no danger. ”
The old cow couldn't help but wrinkle his forehead: "Can't you fly over from above?"
"It seems that it can't be, the space above the sea quagmire is very weak, a little power fluctuation can cause the space to collapse, I have experienced such a place, the real danger factor of this kind of place is higher than fighting with fierce beasts, if we are really swallowed by the collapsed space, then the situation will be very bad. ”
The old cow nodded, "And then, can't we go around from both sides?"
"No, otherwise I won't say why this is a place where we have to force it, there are powerful monsters stationed on the left and right of this sea quagmire, and near the powerful monsters on both sides, there are successive monsters stationed, like forming a blockade line, if we want to go around, we need to go around a long way, and we will also experience some monster territory on the way, which is not cost-effective and more dangerous. ”
Lao Niu nodded thoughtfully, "I see, but isn't your plan coming out?"
"That was the original plan. Gu Chen said, "I said that the plan may be changed at any time, although the plan has always been made by me, but now I want to discuss with you, listen to your opinions, and see if our current plan needs to be changed." ”
"What do you mean, has something changed?"
Gu Chen shook his head, and then nodded, "Actually, it doesn't matter if it doesn't change, but now I'm a little hesitant, which one do I want to choose?"
"What do you mean?"
"My original plan was to pass through the blood quagmire in front of me, according to my speculation, it would take about a month to pass through, but, in fact, we can also pass through the territory of the demon beasts on both sides, although there will be a certain danger, but the speed will be at least fast, but the flaw is that in case of any accidents, we may ....... ”
Lao Niu knew the meaning of Gu Chen's words, and couldn't help but say, "Gu Chen, I saw you in a hurry all the way, could it be that you really have something important?"
Gu Chen nodded, "Actually, I can accept this time, but before I was reborn, after I was reborn, it was equivalent to dying once, and the soul marks left on me by some people also disappeared, and I am very worried about someone now, if she really thinks I am dead, it is indeed very troublesome." ”
Gu Chen's worries were not about anyone else, it was Qin Rong!
Because he knew Qin Rong, when he had Qin Rong's soul mark on his body, Qin Rong could know that he was alive at any time, and as long as he lived, she would not accelerate the opening plan of this second channel.
But now, he had already died once, although he was alive again, but Qin Rong didn't know, Qin Rong would only know that he was dead.
In case Qin Rong really thought that he was dead, it was hard to guarantee that he would not speed up the plan to open the passage of the Rakshasa clan, because she did have this ability, as long as she released the news that the Yaksha clan had opened a passage in the underworld, then the Rakshasa clan would definitely open this second passage as soon as possible, what he was worried about now was this problem, in this way, there would not be enough time at all.
Although Lao Niu didn't know what Gu Chen was worried about, he could see that he was indeed very short of time, and couldn't help but say, "Old Gu, I know you need time very much, but we are brothers, then I will have one thing to say, the Blood Zehai is not another place, nor is it that my Lao Niu is cowardly here, if it is a danger that can be avoided by just wasting a little time, I feel that this is our only choice, besides, if we really go to the Bloody Eye, the future battle will definitely not be less, if it is ...... to be damaged here." ”
Although Lao Niu's words were not spoken, Gu Chen already understood what he meant, and Gu Chen nodded slowly, "You are right, I am indeed a little anxious and flustered, no matter whether there are fierce beasts on both sides of this blood quagmire, we should indeed take the safest route here, so it is decided, three days later, enter the blood quagmire, these three days first repair well." ”
After saying this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, then crossed his knees on the ground and closed his eyes.
......
Rakshasa City, in Qin Rong's residence, she still incarnated as Suo Luoqian, standing quietly in the courtyard.
It's just that Qin Rong at this time, his identity is completely different from when Gu Chen left at that time, and now there is a team of burly guards standing in the courtyard to protect him, which is obviously not what it used to be.
"What the hell is going on?"
Now the battle with the Yaksha clan is still deadlocked, but Qin Rong encountered another thing that she couldn't understand, the day before yesterday, she took advantage of the rest time in the battle to take a look at the second channel that was about to open, saying that it was a patrol, the main purpose was to get familiar with it first, so that there would be no accidents when she left in the future.
However, when she went to patrol yesterday, something unexpected happened to her, on the opposite side of the blocked passage, a voice came from the human world, saying that she was from the human world and wanted to talk to her.
And the content of the conversation was that the voice of the human world said that he had a way to open the passage, but the price was that after they came out, they could not embarrass anyone on the ice field, they could not hurt anyone, and if she agreed, he would open the passage as soon as possible.
This is actually a good thing for Qin Rong, she can agree casually, and then wait for the passage to open and return to the human world, and she thinks so in her heart.
But for some reason, she thought of the 'dead Gu Chen' at that moment, and when she thought of Gu Chen, she resolutely refused, and her answer was very direct, "The Rakshasa clan will not trade with any inferior race, and when they open the passage, they will kill all the life they can see." ”
It was her ruthless answer that made the voice of the human world disappear.
And after coming back, the more Qin Rong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could people in the human world think about opening the second channel?
She was worried that the owner of that voice would find someone else, so she had to make a decision today.......
Pedal .......
The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, Qin Rong hurriedly came back to his senses, and then saw that the War King was walking into the courtyard with a folding fan in his hand, and he was busy clenching his fists at the moment;
The War King nodded slowly, "I heard that you have been restless and absent-minded in your work for the past two days, and even asked for your resignation, what is going on?"
Qin Rong frowned slightly, "His Royal Highness the War King, my subordinates don't know what has happened in the recent period, I always think of my brother's figure in my mind, although I try my best to control it, but my brother's figure will always appear unconsciously, and even the first few times I led my troops out to fight, I saw Yaksha as my brother a few times, and almost had an accident, I feel ......." ”
Before Qin Rong finished speaking, he was interrupted by the War King waving his hand, "I can understand your feelings, in the past, you and your brother only belonged to logistics, and did not directly participate in the war, it was your brother's death that angered you, but after all, you are not a 'qualified warrior', so it is normal for you to have such troubles now, but in this state, you really can't continue to lead troops." ”
Qin Rong lowered his head deeply, "I'm sorry, Your Highness the Battle King, I failed to live up to your high expectations. ”
The War King shook his head slowly, "No, in fact, you gave me a surprise, because you are really the most dazzling light I found in this battle, although you are not a qualified warrior, but you are a qualified general, so let's do it, just like you applied, you go to the passage to guard it first, that place is quiet, take good care of my mind My high hopes for you remain unchanged, in the future, you will be the most effective general under me!"
Qin Rong looked excited, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Thank you for your high hopes, Your Royal Highness the King of War, if you need anything in the future, your subordinates will definitely die!"
Thanking him, Qin Rong let out a sigh of relief, "It's finally good, that human who wants to open the passage, you wait, as long as I'm here, you don't want to reach any agreement, Gu Chen, I hope you can see it in the sky, I'm delaying time so much, it's all for you...... If it really comes to a time when I can't do anything, don't blame me for ....... ”
