Chapter 231: The official and the youkai officially meet for the first time
Clouds and mist shrouded the emerald green hills, and the mountains appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Occasionally, the mountains are exposed, winding and graceful, with their heads and tails held high, and under the sunlight, they seem to be dressed in dazzling scale armor, like a shining silver dragon soaring into the sky.
Longyuan Mountain has returned to calm, and the thunder and lightning on the mountain have completely dissipated, and it will no longer pose a threat to humans.
After resting, the officials prepared to enter the mountain.
Whether it is the 749 Bureau or the scientific expedition team, it is not the first time to enter Longyuan Mountain, but this time the situation is different, they have almost determined that there are monsters in Longyuan Mountain.
This time, it was also under the instructions of the superiors.,I hope to be able to successfully negotiate with the monsters of Longyuan Mountain.,
"Captain Wang, what if we really see a monster?"
This question turned Wang Xuehao down, even if it was a tricky case, he had a way to face it, but it was the first time to talk to a monster about such a thing.
He pondered for a moment and said: "According to what Professor Song said before, the IQ of those monsters should be very high, otherwise they won't be able to cook, and they will see a doctor, according to this situation, we should be able to talk about it." ā
Xu Tiancheng was worried, "Then what if the monsters don't want to talk to us, just like in Journey to the West, if the monsters eat people, wouldn't we be in danger." ā
Xu Tiancheng's words still have some truth, so this time the people of the 749 Bureau are also equipped with a lot of weapons, just to prevent unforeseen needs, if there is really any conflict, they can retreat safely.
But no one wants to see that.
After all, it won't do them any good if they break up, and the most important thing is that they don't know what the strength of those monsters is at all, and if they make a rash move, they will be disadvantageous to themselves.
Recalling the previous incident at the British Museum, as well as the previous incident in Country Y, and the incident of the dragon crossing in the suburbs of Beijing, if these monsters are really related to the monsters in Longyuan Mountain, then these monsters seem to have great abilities, and they are not at all something that ordinary people can deal with.
Maybe it's really like inside, with a lot of supernatural powers and mana, even if the human side has a huge amount of firepower and weapons, if you really want to compete with them, you may not be able to gain the upper hand.
"What do you think, Professor Song?"
Wang Xuehao asked Song Ze next to him, the people of the 749 Bureau have not officially met with the monsters, but Song Ze has experienced them personally, and even had a meeting with the monsters.
"I don't think these monsters are brutal by nature."
Otherwise, they would never have made it out of the mountain alive, and the way of life of those youkai was almost no different from that of humans.
"That's not necessarily, Professor Song, haven't you heard about the previous incident in the ancient tomb, that tiger is on a killing spree, and none of the soldiers of country M in the ancient tomb survived!"
"Those who are not of our race will have different hearts, we still have to be vigilant, and it is better to be cautious."
"You also said that all the people who died were from country M, did you have a person from Daxia who died at that time, if you want me to say that these monsters are also quite patriotic."
"It makes sense, after all, they are all the monsters of our Great Xia."
The team is divided into two factions, one group believes that the yokai can live in peace with humans, and the other group thinks that the yokai are brutal and need to be careful.
The two groups of people quarreled inseparably, and the sound continued to echo in the deep jungle, and the originally silent mountains and forests became a little lively.
The soldiers of the military region scratched their heads, looked at this and that, and looked a little puzzled, neither faction joined in.
They had never been exposed to these related matters, and now it was the first time they had stepped into Longyuan Mountain, and the conversation about these people was really incredible.
"Are there really youkai in this world?"
"Judging by what these people say, maybe there really is."
ā¦ā¦
Wang Xuehao helped his forehead and stood up to play a round, "The monsters haven't been found yet, so let's quarrel first." ā
"The top priority is to get down to business and quickly find the whereabouts of those monsters."
No one noticed that in the grass more than half a person tall not far away, there were a pair of green eyes quietly watching their every move.
The breeze was blowing, the grass was gently swaying, and those eyes were gone.
In the depths of Longyuan Mountain, there are towering ancient trees everywhere, and the huge leaves block the sunlight outside, and under the ancient trees, wooden houses stand in it.
In one of the cabins, Siberian tigers, black bears, foxes, weasels, and other creatures sat around a round wooden table, as if they were holding some kind of important meeting.
The Siberian tiger looked at the weasel, "Let you go and inquire about the news, how is the inquiry, what are the humans doing in the mountains?" ā
The weasel cleared his throat and said, "This group of humans is looking for us for a talk. ā
The jackal blinked his eyes and looked a little confused, "Talks? What does that mean? ā
The fox rolled his eyes, "I usually tell you to read more, but you don't listen, you don't know what the conversation means, you just asked us to talk." ā
The black bear scratched his head, "Those humans have nothing to do when they are full, what are you talking to us about, I might as well go to the field to water and fertilize with this spare time." ā
The Siberian Tiger looked at the big turtle on the side, "You are the wisest among us, old turtle, and now that the master has gone to retreat again, how do you say this matter should be handled, shall we see it or not?" ā
The big turtle thought for a moment, "I think it's better to see each other, if not, this group of humans may not give up, and it is not a matter of entering the mountain three times or twice, judging from the news that the weasel detectives heard, they have no hostility, they should want to talk to us well." ā
"Now, the master has withdrawn the mountain protection array again, and they really can't stop it if they think about it, it's annoying."
The Siberian Tiger nodded, feeling that what the big turtle said made sense, "What do you think?" ā
"Very good, I'm okay."
"I don't have a problem either."
In the face of great strength, all intrigues and tricks are floating clouds.
The monsters are not afraid of what tricks humans play, after all, this is in their territory, with their strength, it is not easy to deal with a few humans, this is the confidence and capital.
On the other side, the official people were still advancing, and as they walked into the depths of the jungle, at some point, a layer of fog actually rose, and they had not noticed anything unusual at this time.
The official people have been going around here several times, according to Song Ze's description, the place of paradise should be here, at that time they thought that there were worldly masters living in seclusion here, but they didn't expect it to be a group of monsters.
Wang Xuehao couldn't help but speak: "Professor Song, are you misremembering the direction, we walked back and forth several times, but we didn't find the rice field wooden houses you said or anything." ā
Song Ze looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Impossible, I obviously remember that it should be in this direction." ā
At that time, although they came here by mistake, Song Ze still remembered the general direction clearly, and now no matter how they looked, they couldn't find the original way, as if those things never existed.
"Could it be that I really remembered it wrong?"
Song Ze couldn't help but fall into doubt.
Longyuan Mountain is too big, and with the nearby mountains, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find a monster inside.
Someone in the team suggested, "Let's go somewhere else, maybe there will be some new clues." ā
Just as everyone was about to turn around, the fog was so thick that it was visible to the naked eye.
The pale white mist shrouded the surrounding trees, blurring the outlines of the trees, leaving a looming shadow until it finally disappeared, and the surrounding scenery was assimilated by the mist, as if they had come to a white world.
Looking at the more and more fog, Wang Xuehao frowned slightly, "Why is it suddenly foggy." ā
Originally, the place was dimly lit, but now because of the white fog, it is almost to the point where you can't see your fingers, and to add insult to injury, even the compass has failed.
The people of the scientific expedition team held the compass, and no matter how he swung it, the pointer on it did not move.
"We seem to have lost our way."
Even if the wild survival master is here, I'm afraid he won't be able to think of any good way for a while.
Wang Xuehao hurriedly spoke: "Everyone stay tight, don't get separated." ā
Everyone shrunk together like chickens, you are next to me, I am next to you.
"You're stepping on my feet!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
The neat team was a little confused by the sudden fog, but everyone was well-trained and quickly regained their composure.
"Just wait for the fog to clear."
"This fog is thick, I don't know when it will dissipate, and it's too delayed."
There were a lot of people in the team who were complaining.
Xiao Li of the scientific expedition team accidentally touched the people around him, and hurriedly said sorry, the fluffy touch made him wonder in his heart, if he was not mistaken, it was another colleague Xiao Zhang who stood next to him before.
couldn't help but joke: "Xiao Zhang, the hair on your body is vigorous enough, it's time to shave, just like a wild man." ā
"Don't talk nonsense, although my hair has grown a little, it's not as exaggerated as you say, okay, how can I become a savage."
Hearing Xiao Zhang's voice, Xiao Li was slightly stunned, because his voice came from the front!
In other words, Xiao Zhang is standing in front, so who is standing next to him?!
When I think back to the previous touch, my hands were full of hair, and some of them were prickly, not like human at all, but like some kind of beast or something!
Thinking of this, Xiao Li only felt that his cold hairs stood on end, and goosebumps all over his body popped up!
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it should be his own delusion, how could there be a beast standing beside him.
seemed to sense Xiao Li's thoughts, and a deep voice sounded beside him, "Is it possible that I am not Xiao Zhang?" ā
"And who are you?!"
The moment the words landed, Xiao Li suddenly turned his head, and coldly faced the pair of ghostly beast pupils, like ghost fire floating in mid-air, and the beast pupils flashed with a cold luster.
The fear in my heart reached its peak at this moment, and I couldn't help but scream.
"Ahh
The piercing screams startled everyone.
Even Song Ze couldn't help but scolding angrily: "Xiao Li, what are you called." ā
Xiao Li's face was extremely pale, and he desperately retreated back, but he never thought that he almost bumped into someone and stepped on others several times.
The queue, which had finally recovered neatly, fell into chaos again, and for a while the shouts came and went, just like the excitement of the vegetable market.
After such a commotion, I don't know if it was their illusion, the fog has dissipated a lot, at least I can barely see the surrounding scenery clearly.
The large trees, which had been swallowed by the mist, also emerged with a few outlines, and from a distance they looked like distorted figures.
Xiao Li hurriedly ran to Song Ze's side and pointed ahead, his tongue seemed to be knotted, "Teach, professor!" There'sā"
Before he finished speaking, everyone looked in the direction Xiao Li was pointing, and their expressions gradually became dull.
It was a tiger nearly three meters tall, with brown and yellow hair standing at the roots, looking oily and smooth, and most importantly, it was wearing an apron and holding a sharp kitchen knife in its hand, which appeared in their field of vision.
Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, and the people in the scientific expedition team had already experienced it before, so they were not particularly surprised.
Professor Song and the others were the first to come back to their senses, after all, the tiger in front of them was somewhat familiar, it should be the one they saw in the wooden house last time.
It was the first time that the people of the 749 bureau saw it, and it was still a tiger dressed like this, and their mouths couldn't close in surprise.
Although they had guessed before, but now that they really saw the monster appear in front of them, the visual impact was still very large.
The soldier of the military region stammered: "Old, the tiger is wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife"
The Siberian Tiger rolled its eyes, as if to say that they were rare and strange, "You are here on behalf of the Great Xia official." ā
Everyone nodded stunned.
The tiger man stood up, looking down on them condescendingly, the pupils of the ghostly beast flashed with supreme majesty and a sense of oppression, and a single look shocked the people of the 749 Bureau.
Bureau 749 has handled so many difficult cases and seen a lot of storms and waves, but there has never been a moment of panic like now.
The moment I saw this tiger, my mind was blank for a moment, my brain was completely down, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Wang Xuehao's forehead, and I couldn't remember the draft and opening remarks that I had originally typed in my heart.
It's one thing to know, it's another to see it with your own eyes.
There really are youkai in the world!
It was so sudden that they didn't even mentally prepare and build, and this tiger suddenly broke into view, still in this way.
No matter how good their psychological quality is, how can they be calm at this moment, the faces of the people in the official team turned pale, and even some people trembled.
The Siberian tiger looked at the person in front of him, and was swept away by its gaze, and everyone only felt that their scalps were numb, and they lowered their heads one after another, like frightened quails.
"Say, aren't you going to talk to us, why are you dumb?"
The official people looked at each other, their expressions were a little tearless, the previous visual impact was too great, after all, the Siberian tiger appeared coldly, and stood up with a sharp knife, which is a normal person who is afraid.
In their imagination, including TV series, what kind of envoys such as spirit deer and crane are depicted.
When I got here, the good guy was directly a tiger with a sharp knife and a Northeast accent, which was too down-to-earth.
And the sharp knife in the tiger's hand was still dangling, flashing in the air with a cold light, almost grazing their hair!
The Siberian tiger didn't know what this group of humans was thinking, and in order not to scare this group of timid humans, it also deliberately dressed itself up with a fireworks atmosphere.
If the official people know, I'm afraid they will want to cry without tears, so it is better to dress up at all, after all, the Siberian Tiger people stand more than three meters tall, and with such a costume, it is really weird.
Wang Xuehao froze down, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said boldly: "Hello, we are the official of Great Xia, and we have come to negotiate with you, are you acting on behalf of the monster?" ā
Who would have thought that the Siberian tiger shook his head.
Seeing this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but fall to the bottom, this means that they don't want to talk about peace?!
The eyes of the people in the 749 bureau changed slightly, if they couldn't negotiate peacefully, would this group of monsters want to kill?
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and if it really came to that point, what were the chances that they would be able to leave alive.
Many people had panicked and frightened looks on their faces, and some even had weak knees and almost couldn't stand steadily.
The Siberian tigers didn't know that in just a few seconds, this group of humans had already come up with many pictures in their minds, and looking at their pale faces, they still wondered in their hearts, not knowing what was going on.
"Of course I can't represent it, I have to ask the master about this, but now that his old man is still in retreat, we have unanimously decided to send you a reply first, so that you don't go up the mountain at every turn and disturb our cultivation."
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, daring to love that they had misunderstood the meaning of the Siberian Tiger before, Wang Xuehao wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and let out a long breath, "So that's the case." ā
But they soon realized that there was another behemoth standing behind the Siberian tiger!
And this creature is the real person in charge of Longyuan Mountain! All youkai listen to it!
To be able to be called a master by this group of monsters, how powerful should it be?
For a while, everyone's hearts became up and down again, and they didn't know whether this was good news or bad news.
These monsters are not leaderless, at least one creature can restrain them, but if this creature is hostile to humans, or is a militant, then it is not a human being who is in bad luck.
Wang Xuehao cautiously asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, when will your master be out of the customs?" ā
Siberian Tiger shook his head, "We can't say for sure, maybe soon, maybe very slow, in short, you go and wait for news, if I talk to you, the master will be born, but in the meantime, you don't go up the mountain, so as not to disturb him." ā
When it comes to Shizun, the beast pupils in the northeast are full of pious and awe-inspiring light, and it can be seen that he is very respectful.
The official people looked at each other, and the chickens nodded like pecks of rice, and did not dare to have any intention of disobedience, lest they anger the Siberian tigers, and the sharp knife fell on them.
"Your Excellency Tiger, we know, you can rest assured."
"Call me Tiger King!"
"Good, good, Tiger King!"
Officials want to find out a little more information.
"I don't know where your master comes from?"
The tiger squinted at them, "Why do you ask so much, it's not for you to ask." ā
It was just a simple look, but it was mixed with endless coercion, and for a while, more beads of sweat appeared on Wang Xuehao's forehead, and even his back was wet with cold sweat, which almost made him breathless.
Fortunately, the Siberian tiger finally withdrew his gaze, which made him feel relieved and relieved.
Wang Xuehao hurriedly apologized, "We were offended, and we just wanted to find out, and there was no other malice." ā
Seeing that they were so respectful and respectful, the Siberian Tiger nodded with satisfaction, "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, you can go." ā
Getting this sentence, everyone can be said to be relieved, the mist instantly became thick, wrapping the body of the Siberian tiger, and when it dispersed again, there was no longer that tall and mighty shadow in the same place.
But the air pressure left behind still made everyone feel uneasy.
The breath from the Siberian Tiger was so terrifying that during the whole process, everyone almost didn't dare to look up, and the few people in the 749 Bureau had a strong psychological quality, and they barely had the courage to take a few looks.
"Team Wang, you see what to do now."
The talks were neither successful nor unsuccessful.
They really saw the legendary monsters with their own eyes, which can prove that the previous speculations are correct, and learned that these monsters actually have a master, judging from the information that the Siberian Tiger has just revealed, these monsters all listen to the words of the master.
What is the attitude of the master towards human beings, it represents the attitude of all monsters towards human beings.
"Let's go back and report these things to the upper authorities first."
The Siberian tigers have spoken, and they have no need to stay any longer, if they are not interested, they will anger these monsters, and the gains will outweigh the losses for them.
The official people hurriedly walked down the mountain.
"Judging from the attitude of these monsters, there should be no hostility towards the human side, and its master thinks the same."
After all, the Siberian Tiger did not hurt anyone, although there was a strong coercion on his body, but he did not feel any killing intent in the 749th game.
If the master of this group of monsters is out of the customs and really has a meeting, then their identities are definitely not qualified, after all, it is related to the peaceful coexistence of humans and monsters in the future, and the leaders of the Great Xia side will definitely be invited to come forward.
Otherwise, if the monsters think that they don't pay attention to it and there is some misunderstanding, then it will be a big trouble.
Thinking of this, the official people didn't dare to ignore anything, so they rushed back non-stop and reported the matter on Longyuan Mountain in detail.
Knowing that the 749 Bureau and others did see the monsters, and it was also revealed that there were leaders among the monsters, the above also attached great importance to this news.
In the satellite video call, the director of the 749 Bureau had a serious face.
"Don't worry, I'll report this matter immediately, since the monsters over there have spoken, don't go into the mountain again, come back first, so as not to make them unhappy."
"In addition, we still have to pay attention to Longyuan Mountain, if there is any abnormality, we must report it as soon as possible, we must grasp the latest situation, in case of emergency."
Wang Xuehao nodded, "I think so too." ā
If the masters of these monsters are really out of the customs, then the two sides will have their first formal talks, and the leaders of the Great Xia side will also be present, and that will be a historic moment.
However, it is still a bit early to say this, after all, the talks between the two sides are not so fast, and judging from the current situation, this day should not be too long. (End of chapter)
