On the vast Gobi, a team of red armor in a hurry was escorting several fully loaded commercial trucks towed by sea buckthorns, hurrying unhurriedly.

As the sun rises, the gravel and rocks exposed to the surface of the earth are scorched by the scorching sun in the wilderness, and the waves of twisted and scorching air are often blown up by the howling winds that can swallow the heavens and the earth.

The harsh environment largely hindered the caravan's progress, but these seemingly insurmountable ordeals did not bother such a group that seemed to be on its way.

The owner of the caravan was very well prepared for this trip, except for the huge and tightly wrapped commercial truck, which had been placed in the center by everyone and closely protected, and the rest of the accompanying vehicles were loaded with goods that were some of the most advanced road-opening and bridging equipment of the Huazhou military.

Yes, such a huge team, the tools it needs to use on a daily basis are all some of the highest-level military materials printed with snowflake markings, and this kind of thing is too unbelievable on any regular trade route in Huazhou Kingdom.

However, in such a wild and uninhabited place, it is not so conspicuous at all.

After all, how could an ordinary merchant team have such the ability to cross roads and rivers all the way, overcome many obstacles, and break into such an inaccessible Gobi hinterland.

"Phew!"

With the driver's trombone, the softest compartment of the freight merchant shook slightly.

The head of the Lin family, who had not appeared for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, and his fat and fat round face was leisurely. At this time, he naturally felt the sudden stop of the vehicle, but he was not surprised by this at all, and glanced at the window covered by thick gauze, and easily took a delicate small short blade that he was playing with in his palm into the scabbard leather bag that belonged to it.

Lin Jian was a little tired, his originally swollen and plump body had become a little loose without support at this time, and his loose folded skin was slightly wrinkled, and he was half-hung and drooped down from the skeleton with some rickets.

However, this did not prevent the fiery and eagerness in his eyes at the moment.

"Master, we've found a place." An extremely loud sound came from outside, and the results of the report did not surprise Lin Jian. Ever since they had successfully received the signal for help from Fire Crystal Valley, he had already been sure that the position he was in at that time was not too far from the place he wanted to reach.

He struggled to his feet, lifted the veil on the side of the carriage to keep out the dust and sand of the outside world, and very naturally put his hand on the arm of the young servant who had been waiting beside him in the outer carriage, and slowly squeezed out of this relatively simple and narrow business carriage with the help of force.

Outside, there was a bleak and barren yellow sand and gravel soil, covering the white sky and the dry earth, monotonous and boring. This is just a post-apocalyptic scene that is constantly repeated every day in the barren land, but Lin Jian, who is already used to being pampered, is a little impatient at first.

However, this time is different.

He narrowed his eyes, and while gradually getting used to the light of the sun, he firmly grasped the protective platform that had been erected outside the carriage, and followed the direction pointed out by the fifth child who came to report the news, picked up the telescope hanging from his waist, and confirmed it again with great seriousness and care.

'There it is! He thought for sure.

It was a flag fluttering on the flagpole, red and black from the blood of too many people, and it was rising between a stone barrier that towered on the high ground.

The camp wall was high and stretched for a long time.

And behind it, there must be a huge sinkhole deep in the desert, vast like a miracle!

Of course, he couldn't see the magical sinkhole that was magnificent.

However, this does not mean that he is not familiar with this filthy soil full of the family's century-old sins and humiliations!

He knew that this valley contained the most subtle darkness behind their family's prosperity!

This is the origin of the Flame Armor Legion's military fire crystal, and it is also the distribution site for the Aoxue Sect to collect experimental materials, no, to be more precise, this was once an experimental field, an experimental field that was reactivated after being abandoned for an unknown number of centuries - this is the research result given by the Aoxue Sect.

The Aoxue Sect is the new owner of the Fire Crystal Valley's official certification. Ever since they, the remnants of the previous dynasty, proposed a compromise to the Hua Zhou Kingdom, this lonely place with endless secret treasures no longer belonged to them, Jia Xian, who had discovered this valley.

Thinking of that mysterious and withdrawn hermit sect, Lin Jian couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh now.

It was a group of real madmen who were completely beyond the imagination of the four Taizhen families, who had no sense of ethics and morality, and only cared about their own strange research.

[In the early years of the founding of the Hua Zhou Dynasty, the Aoxue Sect took over this place from the hands of the Taizhen Four Families, and then, it seems that many highly secret experiments were carried out on everything in the Fire Crystal Valley. Of course, many of these details are now impossible to verify at all, even if Lin Jian, as the head of the wealthy family of Taizhen Mansion, has been running around in all sides of the Huazhou Kingdom for many years, he still has nothing to learn about it.

However, there is one thing that the heads of the three surnames have reached today: that is, the interracial war that swept the country and the sudden defection of the Yang family later were all related to the strange research of this mysterious sect.

(After all, back then, the daughter of the Yang family, who should have lived for seven or eight years, even if she had become a human worship, suddenly died inexplicably not long after the Aoxue Sect took over the Fire Crystal Valley, and not long after, the Battle of the Key Chaos suddenly broke out, and after that, the Yang family had a bizarre defection.) ）】

Of course, it is precisely because of this that they are completely uninterested in carefully taking care of the rich pyrotechnic deposits in this valley.

So much so that more than ten years ago, after the fire crystal, which was originally only used as a rare ornament, was excavated to reveal its true value, after the unanimous discussion and agreement of the upper echelons of the Hua Zhou Kingdom, this pickled place, which had been filled with all kinds of evils of the previous dynasty, was finally returned to the hands of them, who were originally going to be completely divided and cleaned.

In order to maintain a sufficient amount of igneous quart, the three families of Lin, Song, and Shan, have become the most powerful black gloves in the upper echelons over the years, and in this valley, there are too many fugitive miner slaves that they have defrauded from the provinces and towns of the kingdom, and they are used to dig up the fire crystal buried deep underground, and they are also used for the most inferior and dirty insect parasitic experiments.

Among them, Lin Jian has seen too many of them in his study in Shangyuan Town, which is a secret strip that the family relatives have sent back with their lives, he naturally keeps it in mind and knows everything well!

And at this moment, he knows that the direction he is looking at now, the place where the blood flag is fluttering, is the place that indirectly caused him to lose his beloved in this life, and he will not be able to die forever, and he will eventually take away the family nightmare of his and Grandma's only daughter for a lifetime of happiness - Fire Crystal Valley!

He really hated it!

Even if he'd never set foot before!

And this time, he's finally here!

"Good!" Lin Jian's voice trembled a little, and it was some inexplicable excitement that could no longer be concealed.

He tried to grab the brother of the same clan who was beside him at the moment, and quickly put down his hand with some difficulty, and then lowered his cry and whispered: "Old Five, thanks to you along the way, you have worked hard." ”

Of course, he knew that if it weren't for the help of his brother, who was in an important position in the military department, and led a group of knife catchers to accompany him from birth to death, he would definitely not have come to this place.

As the highest-level commander in the Shangyuan Knife Capture Battalion, Lin Lao Wu, at this moment, he can naturally feel the excitement and eagerness that emanates from his bones as the eldest brother who has followed him for many years.

However, this rugged and heroic warrior hesitated a little, and couldn't help but speak: "But, Brother Jian, are you really sure that you want to destroy this place?" This time, he didn't use the honorific title of the head of the family that he was used to for a long time.

Lin Jian turned his head and once again took a deep look at the brother beside him who had sacrificed his life to accompany him, as if talking to himself, and muttered in a low voice: "You know, since Grandma died by mistake, I have been waiting for today." Lin Jian's voice as he spoke was a slight tremor that never stopped.

Of course, Lao Wu knew the cause and effect of the previous grievances: "However, if there is no protection from the Worm Ancestor in the future, will those upper echelons in the kingdom carry out a final cleansing of our rich relics that have completely lost their use value?" In that case ... ”

The old worm in the Fire Crystal Valley who had been immortal for hundreds of years, he was also very clear about the meaning of their three families, if it weren't for his eldest brother Lin Jian's kindness to him, which was difficult to repay, he would definitely not want to participate in this irrational revenge that was enough to completely destroy his family.

Lin Jian, who was familiar with his brother's temperament, naturally knew what Lao Wu wanted to say at the moment, and he did not answer immediately, but slowly took out the exquisite short blade that he had just put away from his arms, and stuffed it back into the hands of its original owner.

"This place, for us, has long been less important. You can rest assured, the Lin family will not fall because of this, and without the constraints of that bug, it is possible for us, the bereaved family, to gain true freedom. After speaking, he quickened his rather neat pace, and quickly stepped out of the carriage with the support of the servant beside him.

The fifth child who was stunned slowly raised his hand, and suddenly there was a surprise. He unexpectedly found that on the handle of the short blade he had given to his eldest brother for self-defense, the fire crystal, which was originally a little dim, once again emitted a dazzling light as new.
