Chapter 443: The Old Man
Stopping in the air, Wan Peng and Xie Ting were relatively calm, but after a little longer, Lan Jia was obviously anxious. As a child, although he has seen more from the level of knowledge and vision, his mind is inevitably immature, and it is a very difficult thing for him to wait for the return of unknown situations for a long time.
"When will they come back and give us news?" Lan Jia looked at Xie Ting, as if he was closer to Xie Ting. Maybe it's Wan Peng's overly calm and cautious image that makes him feel too serious.
Xie Ting smiled slightly and touched his head, "Don't worry, it will be fine soon." We just want to make sure that it's absolutely safe underneath. Otherwise, if you go down and encounter danger, we can't guarantee that we will take care of you. ”
Lan Jia's big eyes flickered a few times, "No, I'm not afraid." I've been able to take care of myself for more than three years. ”
Xie Ting smiled and shook her head, "Lan Jia is obedient." You can take care of yourself, but your older siblings can't let you face difficulties on your own. We have to help you go back, and when you arrive in the Purple Mansion, you must also help your brothers and sisters. Maybe we'll have to meet your father again. ”
Lan Jia nodded vigorously, "Okay! However, when you get there, you must not make excessive demands." For the core interests of the Purple Mansion, they cannot be encroached upon, even if it is you, it is no exception. If you have any other ideas, don't think I'll help you. ”
Xie Ting hadn't answered yet, but she heard Wan Peng say, "Let's go down." There are no special anomalies below. After that, the Fire Thunderbird King swooped down in the predetermined direction.
Soon, several people arrived at a flat area. In addition to the area, the oasis of the donkey's ear carbur does not seem to be very different from the oasis of Bali, and it is a typical area with obvious margins, mountains and trees. But if you look closely, there are many more plant species here than in the Oasis of Bali Island, and Xie Ting quickly discovered good medicinal materials.
Not long after landing, the True Yang Heavenly Fire in Wan Peng's body suddenly became active. This is not a common situation in normal times, and the direction of the True Yang Tianhuo's activity seems to be guiding Wan Peng in one direction.
Xie Ting didn't just care about collecting medicinal herbs by herself, her more important thing was to determine the source of the crystal mine. The results she gave were actually exactly the same as the direction guided by the True Yang Heavenly Fire.
Could it be that this True Yang Heavenly Fire has some kind of reaction to the crystal mine? Perhaps, the True Yang Heavenly Fire can take them and find the crystal mine faster.
A few people walked slowly in the general direction. The situation of the plants here is more complicated, and they must always be careful of unforeseen dangers that arise. After walking for about thirty miles, Wan Peng suddenly stopped, carefully observed the small shrubs around him, and turned to Xie Ting, "Look at the medicinal effect of this plant." ”
Xie Ting nodded, took off a leaf, and turned her hands to refine a puff of medicinal mist. She took a closer look, "The medicinal power is not strong, but if it is used for nourishment, as long as the method is appropriate, it is a good thing." What's wrong?"
Wan Peng nodded, "No wonder." You see. He pointed to the plant, "In the roots of this plant, there is very little accumulation of fallen leaves, while in other plants, the accumulation of stumps and leaves is very obvious." So I suspect that this place is artificially picked. ”
"It's not necessarily an animal. Xie Ting also began to squat down to observe, but soon stood up again, "It's not." If it's an animal, there should be footprints. But there is no here. ”
Wan Peng also nodded, "This is one of them." If you look at the other plants, they grow unevenly, but only this one grows almost the same height, and there are no branches. This shows that every time it is picked, it is quite neat. If an animal eats it, this is almost unlikely. This is the result of man's planned picking. ”
"Then you mean, there are people in this oasis, or is it an ape?" Xie Ting became visibly cautious, and took Lan Jia's hand a little tighter.
"Possibly. Let's move on, be careful. Wan Peng said, taking another step, but the speed did not slow down much compared to before.
After walking for another twenty kilometers, the True Yang Heavenly Fire became more active in the body. Xie Ting also felt a stronger crystal aura, and when she arrived at a place, she gently pointed to the floating soil on the ground, and actually dug out a small piece of crystal from it. "Look, Crystal. ”
Wan Peng took it and looked at it for a while. The size of this crystal is no more than a finger's belly, and the edges and corners around it are also very distinct, obviously not natural crystals like those used in the formation, but should be directly shattered. Walking further, Xie Ting found a few more pieces, and the edges were very similar to those ones.
"It's not something left over from mining. I suddenly had a conjecture. The crystal mine is not a thing from the sky, but from the sky. Because the energy of this thing can make the True Yang Heavenly Fire resonate. Among the True Yang Heavenly Fire, the True Yang Fire is transformed from ordinary Yin and Yang, and the spirituality is not high, but the Heavenly Fire is an alien object from the sky, and the spirituality is excellent. For such a long time, there has never been such a situation that can make True Yang Tianhuo appear at all. Wan Peng said to Xie Ting as he walked.
"And one more point. If it was really an alien object, then when it landed here, it should have been smashed down. When the crystal is smashed, it stirs up the floating sand here, which will change the geology, create an environment suitable for plant growth, and also allow more medicinal herbs to grow here. And the pieces we pick up should be some part of the broken after they have been smashed. ”
Wan Peng's reasoning was layer after layer, which made Xiao Lanjia's eyes full of admiration. However, since the crystal mine is a top-secret content, Lan Jia can't give any valuable information at this time.
"What kind of person!" Wan Peng suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the Yuyuan Sword came out of thin air, and with a powerful spiritual power, a cloud of sword qi gushed out, directly knocking down a piece of trees about thirty zhang away from them.
At the same time as the trees fell, Wan Peng and Xie Ting both saw that a person jumped up sharply and fled in the direction they were heading. This man's skills are not very fast, and from the performance of this blow alone, Wan Peng can conclude that he is not his opponent. Because the situation was unknown just now, he had also provided this person with a way to live.
It's just that for the environment here, and the degree of use of the jungle, it is obvious that this person is an expert.
The three of them immediately chased over there, and when they arrived at the place just now, the person had indeed long since disappeared. Wan Peng picked up a piece of cloth from the ground that had fallen off his clothes, and there was a blue stripe in the middle, spreading green patterns to both sides, embedded in the gray and yellow background.
"Is there anyone here?" Wan Peng looked directly at Lan Jia this time, as if waiting for Lan Jia's response.
Lan Jia's eyes were also a little surprised, but his tone was calm, "This, I really can't say well." Because of this oasis lady, I have never been here either, whether there is anyone or not, I can't confirm. However, this cloth is so familiar to me. ”
"Really?" Wan Peng handed the cloth to Lan Jia and motioned for him to make sure.
Lan Jia also scratched his head with his hands and thought for a while, after all, he had lived alone in the past three years, and it was normal for him to remember many things clearly. After a while, he slapped his hand on the door of his head, "I remember! This is the uniform of the Space Authority! Three years ago, the sabotage team was also wearing this kind of clothing, and this is the position of their clothes. ”
"Sabotage team?" Wan Peng also took the piece of cloth and slowly looked left and right again. The piece of cloth was clearly old, with easily distinguishable signs of wear on the edges. Could it be that the sabotage team is really still here, but why are they here?
Just because of an oasis? Judging from the distribution of oases that Lan Jia originally showed, this was not the edge, and after destroying eighty-eight spatial gyroscopes, there was no reason for them to come back here. Or is it just one person who stays here?
After a series of questions flashed in Wan Peng's mind, he suddenly had another idea. Perhaps, the sabotage team stayed here for another purpose.
Protect the Crystal Mine!
The space gyroscope is damaged, and to repair it, crystal ore must be used. Since they can't go back to the Purple Mansion, in the desert, the last task is, of course, to protect the crystal mine from being discovered.
Thinking about this, it seems that everything is straightened out.
It makes sense that the sabotage team is here.
"Let's stop here for a moment. Wan Peng observed the surrounding environment, "It's getting dark, although the sabotage team may be here, but for us, the enemy and the enemy are unknown, and conflicts are more likely to occur at night." Rest for the night, and tomorrow morning, we will set off again. ”
While speaking, Wan Peng inserted the Yuyuan Sword into the ground, and after the spiritual power was driven, the sword qi surged outward from the sword qi, and after a slight shock, the two emerged from the ground, cutting off all the plants on the ground with a diameter of about three zhang centered on the three of them, forming a flat buried campsite.
After that, he took out a simple tent, and after supporting it, he took Lan Jia and Xie Ting in. Lan Jia's expression was a little strange now, "If it's really a sabotage team, then we should hurry up and find them, they can help me." ”
Wan Peng shook his head at this time, "That person has just observed us for a while. I didn't feel that he was going to help us, on the contrary, I felt spiritual fluctuations, and I couldn't rule out that he was going to attack us. After such a long time, even the sabotage team may change. In addition, no one is sure whether someone will pretend to be a sabotage team. ”
"Oh. Hearing Wan Peng say this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Lan Jia's eyes, sighed, and slowly lay down.
Wan Peng didn't sleep. All nights were spent in cultivation and vigilance. Since the end of the pill, he has significantly less requirements for sleep, as long as he uses the right cultivation direction, he can ensure enough energy.
When the sun rose, the three of them put away their tents, and after making sure that there were no special conditions around, they moved forward again. But before he could go far, Wan Peng stopped Xie Ting and Lan Jia, "Wait a minute, something is wrong." ”
