"King, is the Warrior Camp back?"

Qingqiu Ziyue heard Yang Xu mention the warrior camp and asked suspiciously.

According to the original plan of the Warrior Battalion, they should have returned to the West Sea Outpost ten days ago to rest and recuperate, and then prepare for the next expedition.

But until now, there is still no clue to the Warrior Camp.

If it weren't for the fact that he could often receive information from the warrior battalion, Qingqiu Ziyue would have wondered if the warrior battalion had been wiped out.

It's not impossible.

Yang Xu bowed slightly, and said with emotion: "I'm back." ”

When it comes to the Warrior Camp, he is both helpless and proud.

The Warrior Battalion is one of the most powerful forces in the Asahi Country, and there is no one!

All the soldiers who are able to join the Warrior Battalion are true warriors.

But the point is that they are too brave!

Yang Xu's order to the warrior battalion was to try to probe the outside world as much as possible while preserving itself, and preserving itself was the key, but the warrior battalion often disobeyed orders.

2k

For example, this time, the reason why they didn't come back for a long time was because they bypassed the entire Blackstone Mountain Range!

From the river valley where Asahi is located, I went south, and then traveled around the Black Rock Mountains, I don't know how many miles, and finally returned to Asahi from the big river on the eastern border of Asahi Country!

Except for Jiang Yaoxi, several others were very surprised.

Qingqiu Ziyue exclaimed, "What, you're back?" ”

Qingluan was puzzled, "But we haven't seen them." ”

Yunxiao was also puzzled: "Where are they now?" ”

Yang Xu pondered and told the story of the warrior camp bypassing the Black Rock Mountain Range, only to hear a few people stunned.

Bypass the Blackstone Mountains and return to the royal city directly from the eastern border of Asahi Kingdom!

Qingqiu Ziyue flattened her mouth, even if it was a stupid fox who had never admitted defeat, this time she was convinced.

"It's amazing."

Qingluan said with emotion: "They can go around from the eastern part of the Xu Kingdom, which means that we can explore the wilderness directly from the eastern border of the Xu Kingdom in the future, and we will no longer have to detour from the West Sea." This is good news and can reduce the number of encounters with outsiders. ”

Yunxiao was speechless.

He didn't even dare to think about such a feat.

The Black Rock Mountains stretch from the Asahi King City to the border of the Asahi West Sea to the east. The fact that the Warrior Battalion was able to bypass the Blackstone Mountains and return to Asahi from the eastern border is a testament to how long their journey was.

As for the dangers that may be encountered, Yunxiao is even more incomprehensible.

Yang Xu listened to the emotion of several people and smiled helplessly.

When an army disobeys military orders, ordinary soldiers must not be blamed entirely.

The biggest problem is definitely that there is a problem with the generals of this army.

The commander of the warrior battalion - Qingqiu Xun.

Qingqiu Xun is also a special individual of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and has abilities that are completely different from ordinary Qingqiu Fox Clan.

His power is destiny!

It can observe the destiny of all beings in the world.

To put it simply, he can see the Achilles' heel of other creatures, thus achieving a lethal effect with one hit.

Any living creature will have a fatal weakness.

The same goes for Mindbreakers, Sphinxes, or even Sea Giants.

And Qingqiu Xun's ability is to see the Achilles' heel of these fierce beasts.

Therefore, Qingqiu Xun is the most suitable commander of the warrior camp and the most suitable explorer. He can uncover the Achilles' heel of other beasts, thus greatly reducing the casualties of his army.

But Qingqiu Xun's ability is strong, is it just a character........

The original five leaders of Xuguo, except for Yunxiao, are all problem children.

Yang Xu thought about it and ordered.

"Jiang Yaoxi."

"Qingqiu Purple Moon."

"Clouds."

"Qingluan."

"Follow me to the royal city."

"Yes."

The four of them responded in unison.

Hunting is a major event, a major event related to the development of Xuguo in the coming year.

Because the harvest that can be brought by hunting every year accounts for about seventy to eighty percent of the whole year of Xuguo.

Whether Xuguo can take off in the coming year depends on the harvest of the beast tide every year.

At the beginning, the population of Xuguo was small, and Yang Xu could only lead the subjects of Xuguo to follow behind the fleeing group of fierce beasts to pick up leaks, looking for the remains of those fierce beasts that died because of the beast tide.

Later, the population of Xuguo gradually increased, and with a certain strength, Yang Xu began to organize people to hunt.

Every time he hunts, Xuguo goes all out.

Because there may only be one or two such good opportunities a year.

On the same day, Yang Xu left the Xihai outpost with everyone.

Since the destruction of the Sphinx, the towns of Asahi have hardly had to worry about an attack from above at any moment, and the army finally did not have to make a detour from the Blackstone Mountains.

Directly through the dense forest to the farm town of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the time has been cut by half.

What used to take four or five journeys now takes just over a day.

In the future, a road connecting the Xihai Outpost to the Qingqiu Fox Clan Farm Town will be built, and this speed can be improved, maybe in less than a day!

The mobility of the Asahi army in the country has been greatly improved.

On the evening of the third day, the city of Wang.

As soon as Yang Xu returned to Wangcheng, a handsome Qingqiu fox clan came out of the barracks.

The face is like a crown of jade, and the figure is straight.

Although he was disheveled, his long hair was a mess.

But just look at the skin, anyone has to say a word, such a handsome person.

It's just those eyes that spoil the first impression he makes.

A pair of dripping peach blossom eyes.

If these eyes are placed on a woman, they are really charming and charming.

But if you put it on a handsome man, it will inevitably .......

Some sissies!

The person who came was Qingqiu Xun!

Commander of the Asahi Warrior Battalion!

"Hahaha, Wang, isn't it a surprise!"

Qingqiu Xun saw Yang Xu from a distance, and opened his arms to meet him with excitement.

Yang Xu smiled helplessly.

Qingqiu Xunsheng is handsome, and even a little sissy, but his personality is diametrically opposite.

Rough.

What stands out is a recklessness.

As long as he believes in something, except for Yang Xu, no one can persuade him.

Yang Xu didn't have to doubt that the idea of detouring the Black Stone Mountain Range this time must have come from Qingqiu Xun.

After hugging, Qingqiu Xun began to show off the discoveries of this journey, as well as the thrills encountered.

When he speaks, he dances like a child.

"After three to five days of going around the Blackstone Mountains and going inward, the situation is completely different from ours, the land is very desolate, full of gravel and sand."

"But this is the place, it's weird."

"The ground looks good, but if you step on it, it's like you've been eaten by a monster."

"It's like a swamp, but it's not the same as a swamp."

"It looks desolate, lifeless, but there are a lot of beasts in it."

"There are scorpions more than ten meters in size, and sandworms that look like worms in trees, but have a body length of more than 100 meters."

"There are also some that resemble tigers and leopards, but they are slightly smaller than in the jungle, only about four or five meters. But don't look at them petite and delicate, they can be fierce. ”

"Other than that, the king definitely doesn't know what else I've seen."

"There was a very special creature in that place, which also looked like a human form, but was made of sand and gravel all over its body. These monsters are generally four or five meters tall and can manipulate sand and gravel. ”

"Even if their bodies are scattered, it only takes a while to recover, as if they can't die."

Yang Xu's expression changed slightly.

Although he knew that Qingqiu Xun could come back, he must have survived the crisis, but he still couldn't help but feel a sense of tightness in his heart.

The whole body is composed of sand and stones, and it is a monster that cannot be killed.

This thing Yang Xu really saw for the first time.

Qingqiu Xun noticed the change in Yang Xu's expression, and became even more proud: "Hehe, but who let them meet me, I still found a weakness." ”

"It turns out that there is a kind of spar in the body of these monsters, red and blue, which is different."

"If you don't destroy the spars in the monsters' bodies, they will hardly die."

"It can be resurrected indefinitely."

"But I tried it, but I can't say that it is immortal. If their bodies are destroyed dozens of times in a short period of time, their resurrection speed will be greatly reduced, and it should be a lack of energy. ”

Yang Xu rolled his eyes.

How boring do you have to be to catch a stone man and kill him dozens of times?

However, Yang Xu is more concerned about another issue than this question.

Yang Xu asked solemnly, "Do they have wisdom?" ”

The purpose of the expedition is to explore this wild world, and there is another important mission.

Look for other sapient beings.

Yang Xu never believed that he was the only intelligent creature in this world.

Although the wilderness is extremely dangerous, Yang Xu firmly believes that there must be other intelligent beings here.

Qingqiu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, and said thoughtfully: "It should be regarded as yes." ”

"Although they don't have a written language, they live in tribes. There are about two or three hundred people in a tribe, some will be less, some will be more. ”

"Hiss~~"

Yang Xu secretly gasped.

There are indeed other intelligent beings in this wilderness.

"But I can't say these things clearly, some stone people seem to be sensible and won't attack us casually. But some stone people are like crazy people, and they want to destroy anything they can move. ”

"It's weird."

"I can't tell."

"This creature, our ancestors have seen. The reason why their bodies can be restored no matter how many times they are destroyed is because the outer shell is just a layer of mud armor that they protect themselves. ”

As soon as Jiang Yaoxi spoke, she attracted everyone to the past.

Especially Yang Xu, he listened very carefully.

Facing everyone's gaze, Jiang Yaoxi continued to explain: "The core of this creature is the colored power stone in the shell. ”

"As long as the colored gems still have power, they can reunite their shells indefinitely. However, each reunion consumes a portion of the energy, and when all the energy is consumed, there is a certain chance of dying directly. But more stone men will fall into a deep sleep, drawing strength from the earth until they wake up again. ”

"According to the memories of our ancestors, stone people are social creatures who like to live in the sand, gravel and mountains."

"They hate damp and rainy places, and sometimes they choose to live in underground rock formations."

"Stone people have a certain amount of wisdom and can communicate."

"But their wisdom is simple, or pure."

Hearing that Jiang Yaoxi knew about creatures like stone people, Yang Xu's mood was very good, and his curiosity was also aroused.

This is the first time that Asahi has discovered other intelligent creatures in the wilderness.

Jiang Yaoxi pondered and explained in a modern way: "Because of the unique physiological structure, the stone man does not like to communicate with the outside world. ”

"They don't need to eat, as long as they cling to the earth, they can absorb the power of the earth and survive for a long, long time, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years."

"And the experience that can bring excitement to ordinary creatures is meaningless to them."

"For example, music, mating, communication, etc."

"So they spend most of their time dormant. Close contact with the earth, followed by hibernation, allows them to become more powerful while maintaining their own energy supply. ”

"To put it in modern terms, they don't have external needs."

"If there is, it is to listen to the sound of the earth, to have a premonition of an earthquake, or some other change related to the earth."

"Therefore, in the inherited memory of our ancestors, this creature is also called the messenger of the earth."

Yang Xu nodded.

The stone people are equivalent to a society that can be perfectly self-sufficient.

Yang Xu asked curiously: "If they don't need external needs, why do they choose to live in groups?" According to common sense, it would be more appropriate for this creature to choose to live alone? ”

Jiang Yaoxi pondered: "It should be because of the threat. ”

"The body of the stone man is a power stone, and this power stone is a favorite food for many creatures. can boost their ...... Evolution, or rather, can make them stronger. ”

"Therefore, although the stone people have no external needs, living alone will bring them great danger, and even become the target of other fierce beasts hunting."

"But there's one thing that's weird."

"Stone people are creatures with almost no emotions, and because of their unique physiological structure, they are not sensitive to external stimuli."

"It stands to reason that this kind of rampage shouldn't happen."

Jiang Yaoxi's gaze fell on Qingqiu Xun, and her gentle eyes were full of curiosity and doubt.

After getting along with Jennifer for a long time, Jiang Yaoxi also has a little more dedication to life research as a researcher.

Qingqiu Xun shrugged.

"Don't look at me, I don't know what's going on."

"It's the first time we've seen such a monster."

"You are Jiang Yaoxi, the one from the Nuwa clan. Tsk, I heard about you as soon as I returned to Wangcheng, and it is indeed worthy of the legendary Nuwa clan, and the ancient inheritance is really enviable. ”

Qingqiu Xun looked at Jiang Yaoxi with interest.

There are also Nuwa tribes on this side of Wangcheng.

Qingqiu Xun has also seen it.

But ordinary Nuwa and Nuwa leaders are naturally different.

If it weren't for Yang Xu being here, Qingqiu Xun would definitely have to talk to Jiang Yaoxi and try out what's so special about the magical powers of the Nuwa clan.

Yang Xu thought about Jiang Yaoxi's words just now, and put forward a different opinion: "If the stone people are an energy life, could it be that their energy core has been infected, so they will become like they have lost their minds." ”

Jiang Yaoxi was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

"Possibly."

"The stone man seems to be strong, but the body is actually very weak. After losing the outer shell, the energy core has little ability to resist. If the core is infected by other energies, there is a real possibility that such a situation as a rampage will occur. ”

"But if you want to know, you have to go and see it for yourself."

Jiang Yaoxi's answer was very conservative.

Here's what she learned from Jennifer.

Science is rigorous.

Of course, it is also bold.

In the absence of a definite answer, Jiang Yaoxi did not want to give an answer that might be wrong.

Yang Xu shook his head and said, "That's it, don't provoke the stone people for the time being." ”

The most important thing for Asahi now is to hunt, not to study stone people.

Hunting is about Asahikoku's development strategy for the coming year.

However, at this moment, Qingqiu Xun smiled happily.

"Haha, this is simple, this is simple."

"Hey, look what this is."

As he spoke, he pulled out a black animal leather belt from his bosom, the size of a fist, bulging.

The leash was opened, revealing a jewel-like stone, the size of a goose's egg.

The stone is blue in color, resembling a sapphire. But there was a layer of blood-colored liquid attached, like a jade in a jade.

It's special.

There is a special beauty.

Qingqiu Xun said proudly: "This is the spoils I brought back for the king." ”

Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, and gave Qingqiu Xun a punch with a smile.

This kid.

Qingqiu Ziyue was drowsy when she heard it before, but when she heard this, she suddenly woke up.

It's just that she looked at it and didn't see Qingqiu Xun giving her a gift, so she was instantly dissatisfied.

She flattened her mouth and complained, "Damn, you didn't just bring the king booty, did you?" ”

Qingqiu Xun scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "This thing is too difficult to kill." ”

"It took us a long time to get one."

When Qingqiu Ziyue heard this, her little expression became more and more resentful.

Excuse.

It's all excuses.

Qingqiu Xun was seen as having no choice, although Qingqiu Ziyue was not his own sister.

But a fool, a reckless man, always get together and have a lot to talk about.

For example, in the face of an enemy, should you blow it with one punch or blow it with one punch.

In the face of the fierce beast, you should dodge, or rush forward.

Qingqiu Xun surrendered helplessly: "Haha, okay, it's my fault." Don't worry, rest assured, I will definitely bring one back for Sister Ziyue in the future. ”

Qingqiu Ziyue retracted her resentful gaze with satisfaction.

And when the two of them were frolicking, Jiang Yaoxi took the stone man core handed over by Yang Xu, and frowned.

She felt an ominous force.

That layer of blood!

It's dangerous.

Full of tyranny.

It is a very strong energy of negative emotions.

Jiang Yaoxi observed for a moment, shook her head and said, "This layer of blood-colored energy is the key to the stone man's madness, but there is no relevant record in the memory of my ancestors. ”

"If you want to understand the mysteries, I'm afraid you'll have to go there yourself. Take a look at the Stone People's settlement, preferably where they are tainted with blood-colored energy. ”

Yang Xu rejected Jiang Yaoxi's proposal.

"That's it, I'll talk about this later."

"Prepare for the hunt first."

Yang Xu turned to look at Qingqiu Xun and said with a smile: "You have worked hard during this time, so stay in Wangcheng for a good rest this hunt." ”

"Ahem, that ......."

Qingqiu Xun showed a strange and slightly smug smile.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the king."

"After we found out about the signs of the beast tide, I left the warrior camp on the other side of the canyon to observe the situation."

"Then let the Blue Bird Clan carry me back and deliver this important information to the king. As the commander of the Warrior Battalion, how could I abandon my own soldiers. In that case, what kind of face will I have to lead the Warrior Camp in the future. ”

Yang Xu's face twitched slightly, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

He's pretty sure.

This bastard did it on purpose.

"Get out."

Facing Qingqiu Xun's hippie smile, Yang Xu kicked it angrily.

He's not heartache this bastard, he's a soldier in the heartache warrior battalion.

Those valiant soldiers have left their homeland and have been fighting outside for more than a month.

Thinking of the warrior camp that had been fighting outside for a long time, Yang Xu didn't dare to stay in Wangcheng for more.

Early the next morning, he led 1,200 soldiers towards the gorge.
