Chapter 13: The Expedition
"Niu Qing! Tell a few people to move all the things in the brother's car to the yard where the brother lives!"
Niu Ben turned his head and instructed Niu Qing, "Let's go, let's have a good chat!" With that, Niu Ben almost walked towards the gate of the General's Mansion with Jing Jun in his arms.
As soon as he walked up the steps, he suddenly turned around and said to Niu Qing: "Don't let him see your actions!"
Niu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then woke up, "Yes!"
Jing Jun also knew that this was not to let the little prince see these weapons of his own, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble.
Niu Ben entered his study with Jing Jun and wind chimes, and only after sitting down did he ask Long Yuntian in detail about the process of accepting apprentices, Jing Jun did not hide it, and replied in 1510, in fact, the story was very simple, and it was finished in three or five minutes.
The more Niu Ben listened, the more excited he became, and he made up his mind that Old Man Long would definitely come to Donghai Town this time.
"General Niu, we ......" Wind Chime had something to say, but was interrupted by Niu Ben with a wave of his hand.
"Sister, don't call me a general, we will be a family in the future, I am a few years older than you, just call me brother." ”
"Oh, brother," Feng Chime said obediently, "although the old man accepted Brother Jing as an apprentice, but he came and went in a hurry, and he didn't let us see him before leaving, can you tell me some things about him?"
"Hehe, the old man is still so anxious at such an age, but I only tell my brother how your brother is taken care of by the old man, about the old man's body, my brother will sell it, just one sentence, the old man has a great background. ”
Niu Ben changed his serious expression from the past, and squeezed his eyebrows.
"Hmph, stingy brother!" Feng Chime wrinkled his small nose and snorted coldly, but he did become interested in this old guy who had lived for five hundred years just by looking for an apprentice, and he didn't know how long he had lived.
Niu Ben smiled and talked about the relationship between his family and Long Yuntian, and ignored the agitation of the wind chime.
More than ten days have passed in a flash, since Niu Ben knew that Jing Jun was Long Yuntian's apprentice, he was very affectionate to Jing Jun and the two, and even introduced this layer of relationship to the majority of partial generals and deputy generals very formally in the martial arts hall, which attracted everyone's bull heads and horses, but made Jing Jun embarrassed.
However, from then on, they stayed like guests everywhere in the General's Mansion and even in Donghai Town.
In addition to carrying out missions, Jing Jun spent most of his time studying his favorite firearms.
Now that he is in another world, it is impossible to carry out the task for the time being, and it is not much fun to visit Donghai Town, a military town, but the homework left by his master is done every day, but he has not perceived any electric elements in the past ten days, which makes him slightly discouraged.
Wind Chime spends almost all day on Earth in the laboratory studying the physical chemistry she likes, but there is no such thing as scientific research here, and she often runs to the school yard to watch the soldiers practice formations when she has nothing to do.
She also grabbed Niu Ben or Niu Qing from time to time to teach her two moves, she learned quickly, but since she didn't master the severity of a battle and broke the arm of a minotaur warrior, others no longer dared to practice with him.
Boredom, all the newly learned moves were used on the humanoid iron target on the side of the school field, only to hit dozens of iron guys crookedly, Niu Ben saw it in his eyes, shocked in his heart, and his big furry hand subconsciously touched the thigh that was accidentally rubbed by the wind chime, but it was still swollen and painful for two days.
Since Ape Gang returned to Donghai Town that day to stir up trouble in the martial arts hall, there has been no news for so many days, and Niu Ben and Jing Jun have not thought too much except that they are surprised.
Two days passed, after breakfast in the early morning, the wind chimes went to the school field to practice boxing, but after going there, they found that the huge school field was empty, and he was bored alone, and ran to Niu Qing's residence to ask him to practice together, but when he entered the door, he saw Niu Qing who had his helmet and armor packed up, and it seemed that he was probably going out to fight, and immediately asked in a shrill voice: "Eh, what are you going to do?"
"Oh, sister, here, the general ordered Brother Niu Hong to take 1,500 of us to exterminate the snake bandits in Aoki Ridge this morning, Aoki Ridge is the only way for Tokai Town to Kyoto Tsuten City, occupied by snake bandits, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles." Niu Qing said with a smile.
"How do I not know, it's not far away, I'm going too!"
The wind chimes have been holding back for the past half a month, and now they heard Niu Qing and them going on the expedition, which sounded very interesting, so they quarreled.
"Oh, girl, we're going to fight, not playing, the sword has no eyes, what can we do if we accidentally hurt your face?"
As soon as Niu Qing heard that the wind chimes were going to follow, his head was big for a while, and he hurriedly persuaded.
"Hmph, I'll talk to my eldest brother!"
Feng Chime wanted to go, but he also knew that Niu Qing didn't dare to be the master, and he had to go to Niu Ben to say.
He ran to Jing Jun's room in a hurry, and when he saw Jing Jun sitting cross-legged on the bed, trying to perceive the electric element, he shouted: "Big brother, stop practicing, go quickly, they are going to fight." ”
"Huh?" Jing Jun was startled and looked at the wind chime suspiciously.
"Oh, hurry up, they're about to go, let's go find Brother Niu!" Feng Chime didn't explain to Jing Jun, stepped forward and dragged Jing Jun off the bed, and ran out without waiting for him to stand firm.
Jing Jun staggered and was dragged out of the room, and he had the heart to break free from the pull of the wind chimes, but he couldn't do it, so he could only say helplessly: "My good sister, you slow down, my shoes haven't been put on yet." ”
"What shoes to wear, I'll talk about it later, and they'll be gone when it's too late!"
"Okay, don't pull me, I'll run by myself!" Jing Jun could only follow the wind chimes.
Within two minutes, Jing Jun and Feng Chime ran to Niu Ben's study, Niu Ben was reading a book with a book, and suddenly heard the door being pushed open, followed by a sharp voice shouting: "Brother Niu, we are also going to Aoki Ridge!"
Niu Ben saw that it was the wind chime and Jing Jun, and probably knew something, but when he heard the voice again, his brows furrowed, "What nonsense!
After that, he looked at Jing Jun, but found that Jing Jun was also frowning and shrugging his shoulders.
"No, I'm going crazy, I'm going!" the wind chimes almost roared, and the sharp voice pierced Niu Benjingjun's eardrums.
"However, the old man asked me to take good care of you, in case something goes wrong, I can't afford to be guilty, brother. Niu Ben explained.
"Then don't worry about it, big brother, I can protect myself, and besides, you have been kicked and lame by me for several days?"
"This ......" Niu Ben's old face flushed, and he wanted to say something.
"Big brother, don't worry too much about you, just let us go, or our sister won't stop, I can take care of us." ”
Jing Jun also saw it, if he didn't go, the wind chimes might be able to do something.
"Hey!" Niu Ben sighed heavily, "Okay, brother, sister, the matter of suppressing bandits is not trivial, be careful outside, sister, you have to listen to the big brother!"
"Okay, that's my brother. ”
Feng Chime smiled, hugged Niu Ben's thick arm and shook it, she was happy, she used a little more force, but she almost didn't break Niu Ben's arm thicker than her waist, and grinned: "Go and prepare, they are about to leave." ”
"Oh, goodbye, big brother!" Wind Chime suddenly woke up, let go of his hand, and pulled Jing Jun out again.
Niu Ben looked at the two people who were far away, rubbed his aching arms, frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Someone!
"Yes!" a voice replied from nowhere.
The two of them ran to their small courtyard in a hurry, Jing Jun went back to the room and put on his military boots, took out the M200 sniper rifle, and the assault rifle was still carrying the original Russian AK.
went to another room, took out two assembled Type 09 shotguns, and was about to go out, when he suddenly thought of something, and turned around to take the Type 95 squad machine gun, all kinds of bullets were filled with a box, and it is estimated that there are more than 1,000 rounds, which is not only for the safety of his own two, but also promised Niu Ben to minimize the casualties of the soldiers in Donghai Town.
Out of the door, the wind chimes also came out of the room, and the courtyard door happened to walk into two people, Niu Qing and another warrior.
Niu Qing looked at the wind chime helplessly and said, "Hey, sister, how about it, are you ready, let's go." ”
"Alright, let's go!" Jing Jun said, looking at the wind chimes with his eyes rolling wildly.
Niu Qing and another Minotaur soldier carried the box, Jing Jun carried three guns on his back, and Feng Chime carried a machine gun and a shotgun, and a group of four people left the General's Mansion, and more than a thousand soldiers were neatly lined up in front of the door, and the black pressure was not spectacular.
At the front of the team was Niu Hong, who was dressed in heavy armor, and when he looked back at the four people who came out, he glanced at Niu Qing, turned his head, and shouted: "Let's go!"
There are no cavalry in this world, and many of the animals that exist or have existed on Earth have become highly intelligent, and all of them have evolved to walk upright.
If you talk about the rapid breakthrough of the troops, only the Centaur warriors, four hooves forge ahead, and the extra two arms can be waved to fight.
Other fighting races, such as the lion, tiger, leopard, wolf, etc., need to be on all fours to advance quickly, and stand upright in head-to-head combat.
Therefore, this team of more than 1,000 people was not equipped with centaur warriors this time, because Aoki Ridge is a mountainous and hilly terrain, and the charging advantage of the centaur clan cannot be reflected, just the main battle force of the minotaur and a small number of kobold tracking troops.
This is about half a month's journey to Qingmuling, this way Jing Jun and the wind chimes can really appreciate the scenery of another world, the plants seen along the way are basically unknown, a characteristic, all tall and strong.
There are also many mountain villagers working in the fields, and they have to bow down when they see the Minotaur team.
For the wind chime, the most surprising thing is to see the birdman flying in the sky, although she is not a biologist, but for a scientist who has reached the doctoral level, she also knows some basic biological knowledge.
Birds can fly, in addition to the necessary wings, because they have extremely well-developed pectoral muscles, in addition to the feathers on the bird's body, and the heat preservation effect also has to make the shape streamlined to reduce air resistance.
In the end, it depends on what kind of bird it is, some birds are large but have small wings, and some are the opposite, some birds can stay in the air, and some birds can only glide and fly.
These are all the bird biology knowledge she knows, but now the birdman she sees in the sky, first of all, should be about the same size as ordinary people, except for the wings full of feathers, there are no feathers on the body, and it seems that they are flying freely, so she asked Niu Qing: "Eh, Brother Niu, why didn't we see a birdman in Donghai Town?"
"Hehe, the Birdman Clan is not under the jurisdiction of our Ape Emperor, they have their own kingdom, it is said that the base camp is in the southwest of the Ethereal Peak, and the Eagle Emperor of the Bird Clan is there, what is it like, I haven't been there. ”
"They don't care about the affairs of the mainland, and during the ten-year war on land and sea, they were just watching from the sidelines, and now their strength is unknown. But generally speaking, the relationship with our ape dynasty is okay, and they also have exchanges with each other every year. ”
Niu Qing didn't seem to know much, so he said.
"Oh, what is going on, do you want to say hello to them?" said Wind Chime, a little disappointed.
"Hmph, sister, forget it, the birdmen are arrogant, they have always looked down on us from the sky, and I don't bother to pay attention to them, and my neck hurts. Niu Qing pouted.
Wind Chimes looked at the birdman who had already flown with only two small black dots left, and thought thoughtfully.
"Brother, Aoki Ridge is estimated to be here in two days, this is the snake bandits should have noticed us, you and the sister should be more careful!" Niu Qing reminded.
"Well, I'll pay attention to myself. Jing Jun said in a deep voice, he actually had expectations in his heart, what did the snake man look like?
Two days later, the kobold scout reported that there was already Aoki Ridge ahead, and asked General Niu Hong for instructions.
Niu Hong waved his hand and set up camp on the spot.
Jing Jun had seen clearly from a distance, there was a high mountain in front of him, it was really difficult to estimate how high it was, and the road was already covered with clouds and mist in the middle of the mountain, and the road was being blocked by this high mountain, and along the road it became a narrow and dangerous winding path, which twisted and turned the mountain in half.
"Brother, you can also see why you have to get rid of the Aoki Ridge snake bandits. Niu said, standing beside him.
"Well, it's dangerous, how far does the detour take. Jing Jun nodded.
"Hehe, a detour? Aoki Ridge is two thousand miles in circumference, and we really haven't tried to go around to Kyoto. Niu Qing pouted.
"Two thousand miles, such a big mountain!" Jing Jun was surprised, it seemed that the snake people were going to be unlucky.
"Aoki Ridge has always been a borderless place, not that the Ape Emperor does not want to control it, but that the environment of Aoki Ridge is weird, most of the plants on the mountain are poisonous, except for this mountain path that has been opened up by several generations, other places have rushed into it and there is no life, Aoki Ridge can be said to be the first forbidden place in the southeast of the Ape Dynasty. ”
Niu Qing explained the situation in Aomuling, "Half a year ago, this place was suddenly occupied by the snake clan that has always been in southern Xinjiang, and I think there is a lot of article in it." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by this?" Jing Jun didn't quite understand.
"Snakes and reptiles, by nature, are the same as their boneless bodies, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, just a group of wall grass that falls with the wind, but every snake is highly poisonous, and after being bitten by them, they must use their own blood to detoxify, otherwise they will die of poison after three days. If the snake people gave the usual impression that they themselves would not have had the courage to openly occupy Aoki Ridge, the general suspected that someone was behind it. ”
"I see. Jing Jun thought to himself.
