Chapter 3: Time and Space
A large expanse of withered yellow crops fluttered in the wind, and a faint green glow shone beneath it, and these rays stretched to the grass and trees on all sides, and there was no end in sight. The very edge of the formation is an irregular circle, which also exudes a faint green light, and outside the edge of this formation, all the plants are growing normally.
This is what Tao Xianxian sees now. He learned from the village chief that this formation was not like this at first, but now it has expanded several times, so he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said to the village chief: "If the city lord deduces, this formation should not be like this. You take the villagers back to the village first, and the three of us will thoroughly inspect the place, and then go back to Xilu to inform the city lord of He, and then seek a solution. ”
The village chief sighed softly: "This can only be the case, I hope everything is fine, not a disaster." Then he turned back and summoned the villagers: "General Tao now knows the current situation here, and he will help me solve the problem in a few days." Now they need to do an investigation on the spot, please go back first!"
After the village chief and the villagers left, Tao Xianzhang said to his subordinates: "Part of this formation is in the grass, I don't know how big it is, let's go into the bushes first, start to investigate from the inside, measure the area covered by the formation, and draw an accurate exploded map." The two of them nodded in understanding, and after a little preparation, the three of them set off into the depths of the grass.
At the same time, on another planet far away, on a vast grassland, a huge formation shone with a faint green light in the twilight. The formation is an irregular circle, and in the circle, complex runes are intertwined, forming an extremely strange formation figure, if Tao Xiancheng or the people of Keyin Village are here at this time, they will definitely recognize this huge formation at a glance, because it is exactly the same as the strange formation that appeared in Keyin Village.
The formation was guarded by soldiers in armor everywhere, and on the plain, there were also black-armored soldiers, and this place was the Asachon Plains on the Demon King. This is a large plain on the planet Demon, located southeast of the capital city of Shadowtown. At this time, this place has been occupied by the army, and on the plain, many military camps have been densely built.
Outside a tent closer to the formation, a man in black came from a distance, this person was tall, with long hair left behind him, about forty years old, handsome appearance, faintly revealing a trace of domineering, the guards saw this person, they all showed reverent eyes, and saluted respectfully. With a faint smile on his handsome face, the man nodded in return to the people around him.
The man walked outside the tent and walked straight in, outside the tent a simpler one was placed at the innermost end, and there was a man lying on the bed, this man was about twenty-five or sixteen years younger, and his face was a little yellow, and on the other side of the tent, there was a table, on which there were some medicinal herbs, and a few books. Behind the table sat an old man, cleaning up the medicinal herbs on the table. Seeing the man in black walk in at this moment, the old man hurriedly got up and said softly, "See the king." ”
This man in black is the current demon clan leader of the Demon Yuan, formerly known as the Palpitation Yuan, and after taking over the throne, he changed his surname to the king, so he became the Demon Yuan. And the old man in the tent is the famous doctor of the demon clan. The person who was lying in bed was Shao Xuanxuan, the deputy commander of the Demon Clan's spell troops, this person was young and proficient in spells, and Mo Yuan admired him very much, and at the age of twenty-two, he let him serve as the deputy commander of the army, which shows how much attention he attaches to it.
Shao Xuanxuan heard the movement and knew that Mo Yuan was coming, so he immediately prepared to get up and salute. Seeing this, Mo Yuan hurriedly took two steps, stepped forward to support him, and said, "Xuan Xuan, you don't have to get up, have a good rest, will you still have to rely on you in the next few days?"
Shao Xuanxuan took the opportunity to lie down again, and said casually: "Thank you for your concern, my subordinates have gotten much better, and their health is fine." At this time, Kang Yu also came to the bedside and stood in front of Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan turned his head to look at Kang Yu: "Kang Lao, how is Xuan Xuan's body now, it will take a few days to recover." ”
Kang Yu replied: "Xuan Xuan activated the magic circle to exhaust his energy, his body was weak, and the others are not serious, the old man used the technique of general body therapy to treat Xuan Xuan once, and made some nourishing and healing decoction for him, and at noon tomorrow at the latest, he can be cured and get out of bed." ”
Mo Yuan nodded and said softly: "That's very good, I have sent someone to the spirit world to inquire about the news, I don't know what the situation is over there now." But whether the spiritual situation is good or bad, we can't afford to delay it for too long, and for five days at most, the army must move. If you miss this one, you don't know how long you will have to wait for such a great opportunity.
Shao Xuan Xuan turned his head and said to Mo Yuan: "Please rest assured, according to the speculation of his subordinates, the formation can be completed in three more days, but after the first batch of army actions, the formation needs to be suspended for a few days so that the formation can be maintained and mana can be gathered." Only in this way can you guarantee that you will use it again next time. Please ask the king to carefully arrange the itinerary of the army, so that he can be prepared for a battle after entering the spirit. ”
After hearing this, Mo Yuan's face did not change at all, as if this was not said to him. "Okay, I know, I'll make good arrangements, you can recuperate well, don't worry about it. Mo Yuan smiled, still whispering: "This time, thanks to you, you can use the ancient magic weapon 'time and space' freely, so you have created such a good condition for us, as long as you can control the formation well, the rest will be left to us." ”
Shao Xuanxuan sighed lightly and said: "This is also thanks to the heavens, so that my clan accidentally obtained this ancient artifact, this 'time and space' is really worthy of its name, and it can establish a teleportation circle with such a large span." ”
"As the so-called famous weapon matches heroes, if it weren't for Xuan Xuan's presence, we probably wouldn't be able to control this legendary 'time and space'. At this point, Mo Yuan was interrupted. Outside the door walked in a middle-aged man, who was short, short-haired, with a thin face and small eyes, but his eyes were bright. This person is the living person who appeared in the village of Keyin, and if the two villagers of Kein were here, they would definitely recognize this person.
Mo Yuan heard a movement at the door, stopped talking, turned his head to look, and after seeing the person who came, he asked this person: "You are back, there is news here." ”
The man didn't speak, just nodded.
Mo Yuan continued: "Okay! You go and inform the generals to go to the main camp to discuss the military, and I will be there later. ”
The man turned and walked out of the tent. Mo Yuan turned around and said to Shao Xuanxuan: "You don't have to worry about the matter of marching in, just do your best to maintain the magic circle." Shao Xuanxuan on the bed nodded, did not speak, and then closed his eyes.
Mo Yuan stood up and said to Kang Yu next to him: "You must take care of Xuan Xuan in the past two days, I am afraid that he will have to overdraw his mana to maintain the magic circle in the past few days." After we're gone, he'll be handed over to you, old Kang. ”
Kang Yu gave a slight salute and said, "Please rest assured, the old man will definitely do his best to take care of Xuan Xuan." ”
Mo Yuan nodded, glanced at Shao Xuanxuan, turned around and walked out of the tent. After leaving the camp, Mo Yuan's face showed a trace of hesitation. Fighting alone and fighting against the water, this is a taboo in the army, although he is silent in the tent, he is always a little worried about this situation. Mo Yuan raised his head and glanced at the location of the circle not far away, and his gaze fell on the center of the circle.
The huge magic circle still emitted a faint green light, and in the center of the circle, a staff about six feet long was deeply inserted into the ground, the staff was red throughout, and it was made of unknown wood, and judging from the situation when the staff was inserted into the ground, the staff was extremely tough. The tip of the circle is an irregular circle, which seems to be quite similar to the shape of the circle on the ground, and in the center of the circle is a crystal clear red gemstone, about half the size of a fist. At this time, the whole body of the staff also emitted a faint green light, and bursts of energy were transmitted from the staff to the ground, and then flowed to all corners of the circle. This is one of the eight artifacts left over from ancient times, the "Time and Space" staff.
Spacetime. Made by the Ancient Shadow Clan. Under the influence of the war, the Sky Shadow Clan was exiled to a foreign land and eventually perished. And "time and space" disappeared. More than a thousand years ago, spacetime was discovered on a small planet, but its potential was not fully exploited, so it did not attract more attention, and finally disappeared from the world again with the death of its owner. Until five years ago, the demons invaded the outside world due to lack of resources. This staff was found on an uninhabited planet by chance, and since then, "time and space" have been classified as demons. Legend has it that the greatest function of the "space-time" staff is teleportation, and if it can be used to the extreme, it can achieve the effect of arbitrary teleportation regardless of distance, but its cost is also very large. Since the fall of the Sky Shadow, no one has been able to wield the Staff of Time and Space flexibly.
The demons first obtained this treasure, exhausted their manpower to study, and they could not learn how to use "time and space". It wasn't until the appearance of Shao Xuanxuan two years ago that the potential of this thing was discovered little by little. Until now, under the control of Shao Xuanxuan, the use of the space-time staff can unfold the effect of teleportation on this planet, and in terms of distance, the teleportation range has been expanded to the limit as much as possible, but long-distance teleportation still requires preliminary preparation and huge mana support. A month ago, after Shao Xuanxuan's many hard attempts, he finally succeeded in locating the teleportation location above the spirit world, which made Mo Yuan very excited in his heart. If this surprise attack battle can be fought well, the time for the demons to turn over is just around the corner. So, after several discussions, the entire army of the demon clan under the command of Mo Yuan prepared for the invasion step by step.
At this time, Mo Yuan walked through the magic circle and walked towards the main camp of the army, and at the same time, his mind was also thinking about countermeasures quickly.
In the main camp, the originally deserted camp tent was walked in one after another, and after entering, they sat on the chairs on both sides, and then these people talked to each other in groups. After a while, Mo Yuan walked into the tent and sat down in the middle. Everyone immediately stopped communicating and stood up to salute Demon Yuan.
Mo Yuan nodded, motioned for everyone to sit down, and saw that the personnel had basically arrived, so he first said to everyone: "This time I called everyone here to discuss the matter of marching in. General Bian's investigation of the spirit seems to have achieved some results, so I would like to ask General Bian to introduce the situation in the spirit world to us, so that we can make a countermeasure. ”
After saying these words, Mo Yuan looked at the crowd on the left, and a short middle-aged man stood up in the crowd, this person was Bian Lu, the current head of the Demon Intelligence Department.
After Bian Lu got up, he saluted to Moyuan, and then said: "The foothold of the formation in the spirit realm is located in the Xilu realm, not far northwest of Xilu City, so the first stop on this trip is this Xilu City. Xilu City has a large population, relatively dense, the city defense terrain is better, conducive to defense, the military camp is located in the north of the city, not in the city. There were about 40,000 guards in the battalion, but the combat strength was not high, and the guards were relatively negligent, and their subordinates thought it would be easier to capture. The lord of the castle is named He Xing, who is not very satisfied with the current rule, but his loyalty is still there, and it may be difficult to deal with it. There are eight guards under him, most of them are mediocre, and only one person, Yu Yang, is cautious, and his kung fu should be okay. On the whole, they were generally comfortable, with loose guards and little vigilance. ”
When everyone heard this, they all felt a trace of excitement in their hearts, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Yuan didn't comment, and asked again how the circle on the other side was.
Bian Lu shook his head at this time and said, "Unsatisfactory, the magic circle has been discovered and reported to Xilu Hexing, and the official has intervened in this matter." Just before I returned, He Xing had already sent someone to the circle to investigate. ”
Hearing this, Mo Yuan's heart suddenly burst into a pan, and he secretly said that it was not good.
