Chapter 26: The Eve of the Crisis

"Brother Cheng, thank you this time."

The Scattered Star Station is bustling with activity, and after this night, the two sides will go to different destinations.

"General Song doesn't need to be polite, just a little favor. Next, are you going to the south again? Cheng Lu asked as he picked up his wine glass.

"That's right, there has never been peace in this world, I don't know when the Dire will sneak up, just like this time." Song Yi was also a little tired in his eyes, he was not afraid of hardship, he was not afraid of tiredness, he was afraid of endlessly. However, the battle against the Dire has lasted for 10,000 years, and it is a war with no end in sight.

"Sometimes I wonder, what would I be doing without Dire? Is it to open a martial arts gym or a dart game? Song Yi said with a slightly drunk look.

Cheng Lu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Can there be no war without Dire?" There is no contradiction among the ten countries in the world. I think you're probably still a general, but the enemy has changed from a Dire to a Terran. ”

"The Ten Kingdoms of the Human World, the Middle East, the Chaoyang Kingdom, and the Lietu Kingdom are one camp, the Cangshan, Yuxia, Mianlong, and Yupu are the other camp, the Qianjiao Woman Kingdom remains neutral, and the mysterious Sun-Chasing Ancient Kingdom and the Eternal Night Kingdom are hostile to each other although they do not participate in the competition with other countries. It is also thanks to the alliance and academy integration plan proposed by Lei Zun at the beginning that the countries have deepened their exchanges with each other, and the interpersonal relations are complicated, and the contradictions have been divided, so that there is today's peaceful situation. Song Yi said with emotion.

The five alliances in Song Yi's mouth are the Spirit Contract Alliance that only recruits those who have a spiritual contract, the Beast Alliance that only recruits those who have a beast contract, the Soldier Alliance that only recruits those who have a military contract, the Yushan League that only recruits those who have miscellaneous contracts, and the Zhixuan League that can only be joined by those who are above the Xuan. These alliances are not divided by country, but by different cultivation methods and different realms.

The eight top universities are scattered throughout the Soul Realm, and being able to enroll in any of them can change the trajectory of your life. Yes:

The First United Academy of the Empire was jointly established by the three empires of Dongguo, Chaoyang, and Lietu;

The First Royal Academy, which was jointly established by the four empires of Cangshan, Yuxia, Mianlong and Yupu;

Wuwei Academy, jointly established by the world's top chambers of commerce, Wuwei, Fuyuan and Wanju;

Yushan College, a top university belonging to civilians jointly established by the Yushan Alliance, the Beast Contract Alliance, and the Soldier Alliance;

Qianjiao School affiliated to the Qianjiao Women's Country;

It was jointly established by the Spirit Deed Alliance and the Xuan Alliance, and only accepted the top elite Taoist schools;

the Rizhao Academy, located in the Ancient Land of the Sun;

A night capital school located in the country of eternal night.

Compared with the four colleges, the enrollment quota of the four universities is much less, but the overall strength is not weak at all; Compared with the four universities, the four colleges teach a wider range of subjects, and they are not only recruiters, but many elites who have graduated from the colleges can play an extremely important role in various fields even if they have not cultivated.

"Brother Cheng, when you break through, you can also be a general, at that time, we were mostly fighting side by side. Here, one last drink. Song Yi and Cheng Lu clinked glasses one last time, and then dispersed.

As soon as the morning dawned, Song Yi headed to the south of Rising Sun City, while Cheng Lu's team continued north.

Due to the full load of bright stones, the speed of the carriage is not fast, and the scenery in the wild is not pleasant, and the trek is sleepy and lacking.

"The front is the Yunfeng Station, and after the Yunfeng Station, there is the Shanhe Station, and the teleportation formation is next to the Shanhe Station, and we can enter the Northland through the teleportation array." Cheng Lu explained to Zhan Yue on the side.

"Captain, the post stations along the way are really compact, and you can basically rush from one post station to another in one day." Zhan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and after a day of walking, he could finally rest. The task of delivery is so boring, far less exciting than that night.

Cheng Lu said with a smile: "How can there be such a good thing, the financial resources of the eastern country are not infinite, but our road is relatively prosperous, and it is a key trade route that will be densely populated." There may not be so many post stations in other places, by the way, if Yunfeng Post and Shanhe Post are fast horses can reach it in one day, but we can't pull the goods quickly, and we will probably be stationed in the field tomorrow night. When the time comes, I will tell you about the precautions for stationing in the wild. ”

"Listen up." Zhan Yue replied that the wild is very dangerous, but sometimes he can't avoid sleeping in the open, and he needs many things

Learn.

Yunfeng Yi stayed in the post for one night, did not encounter any episodes, and after a good rectification, everyone set off for the mountain and river post early the next day.

When the sun was about to set, they were far from arriving at the mountain and river station.

"Set up camp and prepare for the night." Cheng Lu gave an order, and the entire convoy stopped instantly, and everyone was busy, as if they were arranging some formation.

Cheng Lu threw a book to Zhan Yue, "There are three sets of formations recorded here, all of which you must understand in the future, take a good look." ”

Zhan Yue opened this formation book, and there was even a formation method for advanced formations, but he figured it out in a moment, these formations were only for Dire, so each force generously disclosed the formation method. As for the formations that can deal with the human race, they are all the treasures of various forces, how can they be allowed to spread out easily.

"The primary bright light array, it costs 30 bright stones to set up the array, the formation covers the flat land, it can drive away low-level nights, deter middle-level nights, suitable for camping in the wild, and the formation can last for a day." Seeing this, Zhan Yue knew that the other soldiers were busy arranging the primary Mingguang array at the moment, they first arranged a formation around the carriage, arranged a formation around the periphery of the goods, and then set up camp in the formation, and each camp tent could sleep 3 people.

"Intermediate Mingguang Array, it costs 3,000 Bright Stones to set up the formation, and the formation covers a mile of land, which can drive away or even kill intermediate Dire, and the formation can last for three days."

"High-level Bright Light Array, it takes 100,000 Bright Stones to set up the formation, the formation covers ten miles of land, it can defend against high-level Dire, and the formation can last for seven days and nights."

The top-level formation can even defend against high-level Dire, but the consumption is also amazingly terrifying, seven days and nights cost 100,000 Tongming stones, and the Tongming stones they transported on this trip are only tens of thousands, and the surplus of the entire Rising Sun City in a month is not enough to arrange a high-level Mingguang array. It can be seen that this formation can only be used at a very critical time.

When night fell, more than a dozen low-level bright light arrays were particularly dazzling in the dark night, and with these formations, they were naturally not afraid of the attack of intermediate Dire. It's a pity that it costs 30 Tongming stones to set up a formation, and it can only last for one night, and such expensive consumption is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"Brother Zhan, take a good rest, there are people on duty outside." Inside the camp tent, Cheng Lu was lying in the marching futon, looking at the top of the camp tent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Zhan, where is your home?" Cheng Lu asked curiously, he couldn't hear Zhan Yue's accent.

"Far away, I'm coming by caravan." Zhan Yue has already made up her origin.

"Are you homesick?" Cheng Lu asked again.

"Home?" Zhan Yue looked at the watch in his left hand, his family members had passed away one after another, and the only one close to him might be his mentor, so he was not very uncomfortable when he crossed into this world, because he had very little concern.

"Looks like I asked a question I shouldn't have asked." Cheng Lu said apologetically, "I'm not from Rising Sun City, my hometown is in a small city on the edge of the eastern kingdom - Corona City, where there is really no future for development, so I came to Rising Sun City, and I entered the army in a daze, and became the captain of the youth garrison in a daze, and there are frequent tasks in the army, and the last time I went home was five years ago." I don't know if my younger siblings still remember my brother. When I enter the realm of the Xuanzhi and am promoted to general, I will definitely ask the city lord for a long vacation, and go back to see it, which can be regarded as a return to my hometown and a return to my hometown. ”

"Didn't Brother Cheng consider bringing his family to the Rising Sun City? It's also easy to take care of. Zhan Yue wondered.

Cheng Lu explained: "Two words, no money. My income is actually not low, but my family has a genetic disease, my father, my brother are unfortunately sick, this chronic disease can be described as a gold-swallowing monster, the consumption of Rising Sun City is not low, I can't afford to take them over. It's also good to let them save some money to buy medicine in the small border town, at least that small city is also under the Tongming Tower, and their safety is not worried. ”

"How much will it cost to cure them?" Zhan Yue said curiously.

Cheng Lu shook his head and said bitterly: "If it can't be cured, I have been looking for doctors and medicines for many years, and no one can have a way." I heard that there are four major families in the Qianjiao Women's Country, and they are the four families of the Ancient Dan Dao Inheritance, if they make a move, they may be able to find a way. It's a pity that Qianjiao is far away, and I don't have any way to seek medicine. ”

"A thousand delicate women's country? Which is the only country of female emperors? I heard that there are many ancient ruins and many ancient inheritances in their territory, and the level of alchemy refining tools is far superior to ours. Although they are coveted by the outside world, the people who beat their ideas can't eat and walk around. Even the two mysterious kingdoms of the Ancient Kingdom of the Sun and the Kingdom of Eternal Night are also very polite to the Kingdom of Thousand Girls. This is also the confidence of the Qianjiao women's country to maintain neutrality for thousands of years. Zhan Yue remembered what the book said.

While the two were chatting, a pair of eyes had already locked on their tent.

"When the boy walks out of the tent tomorrow morning, he will be killed." The man in black hid in the night, playing with the blood-colored flying knife in his hand. Then he took out a red jade token from his bosom and stroked it carefully. "I accidentally got this treasure on the last mission, I didn't choose to turn it in, and the leader didn't notice it, it seems that the leader is not omniscient. What kind of loyalty, what kind of dedication, in the end, it's not about giving us a trick to threaten our lives, let us carry out the task, this body is just a tool for them. When this mission is over, my points should be able to be exchanged for a year's antidote, and with this token, I can stay in that place for at least a year, and I will definitely be able to find a way to solve the Gu, and then I will really be free. ”
