The three planned new strongholds, built very quickly, were made of durable iron and stone timber and covered in warm thick white sheepskin, hidden in the snow and difficult to see from a distance.

The sergeants' quarters were built along the slope, almost hanging on the ice, but they did not slip, but were fixed with the "silver dragon hook", a unique device of the Xuanjia Army.

Best of all, using the smooth ice, the silver dragon hook releases a steel cable that allows the room to glide on the ice.

After a series of modifications, the sergeants only need to climb halfway up the mountain, and they can use the active transport room to quickly get to the stronghold to hand over their shifts.

In addition, this device can also be used to transport reinforcements in the event of war.

Of course, judging from the current situation, the positioning of these three strongholds is very conservative, and there is almost no value in being attacked.

The snow-capped mountains are majestic, and after such hard work, Hong Yuanjun's vision is broader, and with three new strongholds, even if it is a hundred miles away, it can also be seen.

In the past week, there has been no major movement on the side of the mountain ghost clan.

Hua Qingye and Ye Ling inspected the No. 3 stronghold today, overlooking a plain under the mountain.

General Hua sighed and said: "The flat area under our feet, used to be called Qionghua Village, there is a strange well in the village, the water is sweet and clear, boiled with fire but not boiled, ordinary people drink it, it can solve hidden diseases, and martial artists drink it, which can help practice." ”

Ye Ling looked down and saw that everything under his feet was white, there were no villages, and there were no wells.

"I can't see it now, back then, our Hongyuan Empire, there was a period of internal turmoil, and the mountain ghosts took advantage of our civil strife to seize a lot of land, and this Qionghua Village did not escape their looting. ”

"Is it the time when the current emperor was in his childhood?" Ye Ling said.

"Almost, even earlier, when the emperor was in his twilight years, the wind in the court had been slowly blowing, and it had been almost 30 years, when I was a guard in the palace, and I saw something somewhat. ”

"For example......" Ye Ling was a little curious, staring at General Hua with curious eyes.

"Hmph. General Hua smiled embarrassedly, realized that he was speechless, hurriedly played a round, and said: "Those of us who march and fight, just follow orders and do things, and don't look at the rest of the things, don't ask more." ”

"Yes, yes. Ye Ling nodded in agreement and didn't ask any further.

General Hua let out a long breath, a white mist floated on his face, and said, "It's cold outside, let's go in and have a cup of tea." ”

The two of them turned around and were about to enter the tent when they heard three cannon shots in the distance, followed by the loud roar of the silver-maned beast.

Xiao Tang also brought the silver-maned beast to the top of the mountain today to train and use the battle armor, but he didn't expect that the silver-maned beast, which is usually docile, inexplicably began to become irritable, kicking the ground with both legs, smashing all four arms around, and accidentally touching the mechanism of the spirit stone cannon.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?"

The silvermane twisted its head to prevent the cannon from firing into its tent.

Knock - Knock -

There were two more loud bangs, and the small mountain in front of me was flattened in the distance.

Xiao Tang calmed down and carefully observed the situation of the silver-maned beast.

She noticed that the silvermane didn't seem to be angry, but in pain, unable to control its actions.

Xiao Tang calmed down, silently reciting the incantation of "Pure Heart Formula" in his mouth, and his small body released a powerful spiritual power that was enough to appease the giant beast.

She dealt with it very quickly, and the silvermaned beast's heart was calmed and gradually quieted.

After returning to his senses, the silvermaned beast lowered its head, sorry for its behavior, and rubbed its head against the corner of Xiaotang's clothes.

"It's okay, it's okay, we're not afraid ......" Xiaotang stroked its fluff with his hand.

Ye Ling and Hua Qingye, not knowing what was going on, led dozens of sergeants and hurried over, just when they saw Xiaotang and the silver-maned beast hugging each other.

"Girl!" Hua Qingye's lips turned white with fright, and he clumsily stepped over the snow and squatted next to Xiaotang, "Let me see, if I am hurt......

As he spoke, he twisted Xiaotang's shoulders with a pair of big hands and carefully examined Xiaotang's whole body.

"Dad, I'm fine. Xiaotang showed a crying and laughing expression, feeling that his father was a little too doting on himself.

"Xiaoxue suddenly went crazy just now, as if you were poisoned, she couldn't control herself, and it was very painful. ”

Hearing this, Ye Ling also walked quickly, thinking that the silver-maned beast had also been poisoned by the same poison as General Hua, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check the silver-maned beast's whole body.

However, after carefully observing the Silvermane Beast's pupils, he concluded that this was not the madness caused by the toxicity of the Beast Transformation Pill.

If you have been hit by the Beast Transformation Pill, whether it is a human or another species, the pupils will inevitably leave some dark red blood spots, even if the toxicity is lifted, it will not disappear suddenly, but slowly fade.

Take General Hua as an example, there are still light pink blood spots on his eyes, which have not completely faded.

Ye Ling looked down at the ground.

Everyone knows Ye Ling's ability, so they naturally want to hear his understanding of this accident.

"The silvermaned beast has a docile temperament, especially this one, it has already understood human nature, and it is impossible for it to suddenly burst out and hurt people, but unfortunately we can't understand him. Ye Ling stroked his chin.

Wrong!

He remembered that when he first saw the silvermaned beast, Zhao Cai could communicate with him in the language of the beast!

Quickly opened the space bracelet and hugged Zhaocai, who was sleeping soundly by the stove, into this icy and snowy place.

Despite the lazy guy's reluctance, he did his job well.

Two beasts, one big and one small, communicate like humans, gesturing with their hands.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Cai turned around and said, "It said that someone moved the leyline spirit core in the snow field, and it sensed it, so it was very painful. ”

"The leyline spirit core?" General Hua tilted his head towards everyone, "This is impossible, Aoxue City is built according to the leyline spirit core, and there is a special person to guard it, if the mountain ghost clan wants to make a small move, we will find out immediately." ”

Ye Ling listened to the words and said, "That's the truth, but there is no need for the silver-maned beast to lie. In this way, General Hua, you take us to the leyline spirit core to have a look, and if there is anything to do, let's make sure that there is nothing to do, otherwise we can all rest assured. ”

General Hua stood up, held his right finger, counted while looking at the sky for a while, and said, "Okay, it's almost the same time in the future, this time the situation is special, so make an exception and open the spirit core seal in advance." ”

After that, General Hua sent a herald to return to Aoxue City first, and ordered the spirit core guards in the city to prepare to open the sealing mechanism.

Ye Ling and the others returned to the city, and there was already a special person in front of the city gate to greet them.

The stakes were very high, and everyone worked hard all the way, but they didn't rest, and went straight to the spirit core seal.

When he came to a teahouse in the city, Ye Ling glanced up at the plaque, which read four words:

"Tangram Tea House".
