Chapter 379: Border
"Prepare, we're here. Su He's voice rang out on the transport ship's radio, reminding Xiao Lin and the others to hurry up and pack their bags, they had arrived at their destination.
Everyone immediately packed up their battle backpacks with their hands and feet, and in a very short time they were ready, and followed Suhe down from the transport ship, and in front of them was a deserted Gobi Desert, and under the feet of the big guys were bare mountains, sand and barren grassland were intertwined, and at a glance, there was no figure in sight except for them.
"Where is this?" Xiao Lin asked in a low voice.
"This is the border of the Tianxiang Empire. Suhe said, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, sensing the movement around him, "We are still a long way from where the stronghold is, and we need to walk the rest of the way ourselves." ”
"Why?" Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.
"First, the terrain is relatively treacherous, and transport ships are prone to accidents when flying at low altitudes. "Second, the target of the transport ship is too big for the enemy to detect, so we can only move on our feet. ”
"Understood. Xiao Lin nodded, "Then let's go." ”
"Everyone followed me. Suhe commanded softly, "Pay attention to your duties, now is not a joke, all give me a twelve-point spirit." ”
"Yes. Xiao Lin and the five responded in unison.
"Let's go!" Su He waved his palm, and his figure took the lead in the distance, although the target of their trip was only a sixth-level stronghold, he had a strange feeling in his heart, and he always felt that this mission might not be so simple.
"Huhu, why are you so tired?" Mu Xuan complained quietly, "No, I haven't been running for long." He was a little puzzled, he had only been on the road for a while, and he was already starting to breathe.
Xiao Lin and the others are in a similar state, especially Ji Xuan'er, who seems to have consumed a lot of physical strength, and she has begun to sway when she walks.
"I forgot to tell you. Suhe smiled apologetically, "We are at an altitude of three thousand meters at the moment, and we will have to climb over that mountain in a while, and the further we go, the thinner the air will be, and the greater your physical exertion." ”
"Why are you talking about such an important thing now?" Xiao Lin's eyes widened, he looked up at the towering mountain in the distance, if they were now at an altitude of three thousand meters, wouldn't it have to be five or six thousand meters there?
"Don't worry too much. Suhe said, "You have a tank of oxygen in your combat backpack, enough for you, and not far from this hill there is an Imperial border watchtower, where we can rest for a while and get some supplies." ”
Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was quite confident in his physical strength, and he thought that he should be able to hold on until he crossed this mountain, he was mainly worried that the other members of the team, like the two spiritual abilities Qin Ke and Ji Xuan'er, might not be able to hold on if they didn't have supplies.
"Keep going. Suhe greeted, and the group headed towards the mountain again
The top swept away, and the figure quickly shuttled across the Gobi Desert, rushing towards the destination.
Although the mountain peak in the distance does not look very high, it is very difficult to climb, but it is simply a vast and wide land, there are not too many potholes, and there are almost no trees growing here, it is a completely slippery scene, which also makes Xiao Lin and the others less difficult to climb, otherwise it is estimated that they will be exhausted to death before they encounter the enemy.
"Wait a minute. ”
Not long after, Qin Ke suddenly pointed to the distance and whispered, "There seems to be some movement there?"
"What is it?" Xiao Lin asked softly.
"I don't know, but I can sense a wave of energy. Qin Ke said softly, "It's not far from the surface, if it goes a little deeper, I'm afraid I won't be able to perceive it." ”
"Do you want to go over and have a look?" Xiao Lin asked, looking at Su He.
"You make the decision. Sukh smiled.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then go over and have a look." He motioned for Qin Ke to lead the way.
Qin Ke's figure swept out, rushing towards the place where the energy fluctuation came from, as they continued to get closer, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said softly: "I couldn't detect it from a distance before, but now when I get closer, I realize that this energy is actually so huge?"
"Yes. Su He nodded and chuckled softly, "What you perceive should be a deep defensive circle arranged by the empire on the border, forged by using the underground energy flow naturally formed by heaven and earth, which is one of the fulcrums. ”
"I see. Qin Ke nodded and said, relieved in his heart, fortunately this is his own person, if it is an enemy, how can a few of them be able to deal with it.
"Why didn't you tell us a long time ago?" Xiao Lin said with a roll of his eyes.
"It's also good to let you feel it for yourselves. Su He said with a smile, and then his face became serious, "Because you have just started to carry out field missions, I will accompany you, and when you arrive, you will need to face it yourself, in this case, your choice just now is actually wrong." He pointed out Xiao Lin's question very directly.
Xiao Lin also admitted it in his heart, and immediately nodded: "Understood." ”
"Let's go, it's a matter of experience. Sukh said, "This mission will allow you to grow in the future." As the words fell, he took the lead and continued to sweep forward, Xiao Lin and his party gritted their teeth to keep up with Su He's rhythm and climbed towards the towering ridge.
By the time Xiao Lin and the others panted over the mountain, it was already dark.
"We could have landed on this side, why do we have to climb a mountain. Mu Xuan gasped and said, holding the oxygen cylinder that had already been used up in his hand, he was already so tired that his eyes were full of stars.
"You don't have to say a word, it's better to hurry up and recover your strength. Xiao Lin said, taking small sips of water while chewing on compressed biscuits.
Su He stood in the distance with his hands on his chest, looking at Xiao Lin and them while looking into the distance, it can be seen from this climbing process that these five small
Differences in the strength of the child's body.
Xiao Lin and Mu Xuanyi are undoubtedly in the first gear, Mu Xuanyi is a person with the ability to change the system, and he naturally has an advantage in terms of physical strength, although he scolds and complains non-stop, but his state is okay.
Xiao Lin was specially trained by Su He and Liu Shan for a long time, and coupled with the diligent practice of Shura Qi during this time, his physical strength has improved a lot, although he is panting at the moment, he obviously has a lot of physical energy left.
In third place is Linglong, surpassing Qin Ke and Ji Xuan'er, the two spiritual abilities.
This is also expected, the physical strength of the spiritual ability is their biggest weakness, so when marching for a long time, the physical state of the spiritual ability must be taken into account, otherwise when it comes to the decisive battle, the spiritual system suddenly collapses on the ground, then don't struggle, surrender.
"Snort", a soft sound came out, and a figure suddenly burst out of the sand, and a cold light slashed towards Ji Xuan'er.
Su He's face changed, his figure hurriedly flashed out, turned into thunder and galloped, and instantly came to the light and shadow, and the green frost slashed down, bombarding the light.
"Bang", a crisp collision sounded, and a figure fell from the sky and rolled down the hillside.
"What's wrong?"
It wasn't until Su He and the other party had finished fighting each other that Xiao Lin and the others reacted, even Qin Ke couldn't react at the first time, and Ji Xuan'er stayed in place in a daze, not knowing what had happened, and not knowing that her life was almost gone.
"There will actually be a sneak attack in this place?" Su He's face was ugly, his original intention was to hide their whereabouts, but judging from the current situation, the other party had obviously noticed their traces, what the hell was going on?
"Who is that person?" Xiao Lin squinted at the pitch-black figure in the distance who was struggling to get up from the ground, "Enemy?"
"If it weren't for the enemy, they wouldn't attack us. Suhe said lightly.
"It's obviously still the border of the empire, how did they break through?" Mu Xuanyi asked strangely.
"It should be from underground. Qin Ke said that he hadn't been able to perceive the other party's whereabouts at the first time before, and now his back was full of cold sweat.
"Not even underground. Sukh said with a heavy face, "The empire has also laid out many barriers and protective measures underneath, and it should not be casually broken into." His heart seemed to have been pressed against a big stone, his eyes were full of worry, the Tianxiang Empire, which looked extremely powerful on the outside, seemed to be full of holes on the inside, and he could be casually infiltrated from the border, which was something that he would never have dared to think of before.
The border is the most important place in a country, and it must be strictly guarded by soldiers and horses, and if the border is lost, the empire is equivalent to being undefended, and people can enter and exit at will.
"The man is going to run. Xiao Lin squinted his eyes and stared into the distance, he wanted to catch up with his steps, but was stopped by Su He.
"Stop chasing. Suhe said softly, "The first priority is to rush to the watchtower to confirm."
The situation, the other party directly passed through the detection range of the watchtower and entered such a deep place, which is a sign of serious dereliction of duty, and must go on a trip. ”
Su He's face was extremely ugly, he hadn't been to this border for a long time, but as soon as his front foot landed, he received a big gift on his back foot, if he hadn't reacted in time, Xiao Lin's team would have died at this moment.
Xiao Lin had never seen Su He with such an ugly face, so he didn't dare to speak for a while, and stood behind Su He honestly.
"You are wary of each other and aware of your surroundings. Sukh admonished, "And don't stay too far away from me, or I will have a hard time saving you." After speaking, his figure swept into the distance, and Xiao Lin and his party quickly disappeared into the distance.
Soon after Su He and the others left, in a shadow in the distance, a figure quietly walked out, it was the one-armed officer Xiao Lin had seen in Qingzhu Town before, he held a long sword in his right hand, with a smile on his face, as if he was full of joy for the reunion of the old man, but his eyes were flickering with cold, extremely cold.
"Su He, Xiao Lin, meet again. ”
