Ye carefully opened the tent and slipped out after confirming that Chi had fallen asleep guarding the fire.

I'm sorry, uncle, but I decided to go it alone.

Ye did not retain his strength, and left like an arrow from the string, revealing the powerful martial artist demeanor in the future.

Chi still had his eyes closed—just—a slight smile.

Ye's speed is amazing, but in five minutes, he has finished the road that everyone took an hour to walk during the day, and the place he came to is the edge of the cliff that watched the sun during the day, to be precise: it is the edge of the cliff called "Favoritism Cliff" on the map.

"That's careless. Ye took out various cliff-climbing tools from the Eight Treasure Bracelet and complained softly: "I've been looking for so many days, but I didn't expect it to be here-a dangerous B-level camouflage earth spider." ”

Ye changed into a set of protective clothing that he had never seen him wear, put on gloves, pinned insecticide to his waist, skillfully tied the short knife to his calf, and fastened the rope and safety belt.

Ye looked at the bottom of the cliff, and there was no bottom in sight. gasped: "Big brother, help me." He tied the rope to one end to himself and the other to the rock, and climbed down sideways.

Camouflage soil spider: a kind of poisonous spider, living in dry rocky areas, living in groups, generally 250-1040 live together (about 700 small and medium-sized nests like Ye found), good at burrowing, can secrete toxins that disturb nerves, and if you don't take measures after poisoning, you will kill people after a week. There is only one female in a nest, which is closely guarded by all males. This species is classified by the government as a category that should be strictly controlled in quantity, and the danger is B.

The leaves climbed down, bringing down some clods of earth from time to time, and making a loud noise when they fell into the valley.

Ye wiped the beads of sweat on his head and scolded secretly: Bastard, I have climbed more than 200 meters, why are these earth spiders building their homes in such a place?

After putting nearly 100 meters of rope, Ye finally approached the nest of the earth spider. It's really spectacular! In an area of no more than 10 square meters, there are hundreds of spiders, and there is a half-meter-sized cave in the center, and the spiders in it are one after another.

Each camouflage earth spider was the size of a fist, and Ye You'd have a little numb scalp when you see it. Ye carefully propped his feet on the cliff wall and stepped into the territory of the earth spider step by step. Fortunately, the earth spider is a nocturnal animal, so Ye can be fine, if it is daytime, I don't know if Ye can survive for a minute.

With his feet propped up, Ye gently pressed the illuminated button on the button. The entire set of protective clothing emitted a soft white light, and the camouflage soil spiders, which were very sensitive to light, immediately moved one after another, and Ye hurriedly turned off the "light". The camouflage earth spider slowly quieted down again.

Ye couldn't help but sigh softly, wiping the sweat on his forehead: he missed a step and almost died.

If it was on flat ground now, Ye Da wouldn't have to be so careful, but it would be inconvenient to move on this cliff, so how dare he make any trouble.

Gently pulling out the insecticide, Ye couldn't help but be stunned: I suffered, and I missed another step.

......

In the shijie of the god race or demon race, you can get a shijie "god and demon geographical distribution map" at will.

The location and size of each god/demon domain are recorded in detail on the map (of course, you have to buy a new version, you ask weishenme, because after the demon sect brother made a move, the old version of the shijie map was completely invalidated).

However, although the map is for the public to see, but it is compiled by the government, then the areas where the government does not want the public to know, or even the government does not know about its existence, will not appear on the map.

The pumice stone, which is called "No. 0 Demon Domain" by secret personnel, is such an existence. (When the Protoss took over the Demon Realm, which was broken into hundreds of pieces after the Great War that year, it was compiled from the 1st.)

The No. 0 Demon Domain is extremely small, and it can be called the smallest of the inhabited pumice stones in the world, only the size of Huayun in the entire No. 3 God Domain. But this is the place where you are determined to change the process of shijie.

In a secret room in Demon Realm 0: the man who is called the Celestial Bona, or the Great King of Someria, is leisurely drawing a drawing.

There was a sound of muffled footsteps in the corridor outside the back room.

The Grand Dharma King said softly: "Fat and thin brother, there is a guest coming?"

A shrill and respectful voice came in: "My lord, it's the high priest who is here. ”

"Let him in!" King Somemia lazily put down the drawing pen in his hand, and gently tapped his index finger on the table, and suddenly all the oil lamps in the secret room were lit, but it only made the dark secret room seem darker.

At the same time, the High Priest entered the secret room and bowed to the Great Dharma King three times, while singing: "O Great Demon Realm Leader! If Heaven is jealous of your talents, I will use my life to counteract your calamity. ”

The Venerable King of Sommemia smiled: "Get up and speak! ”

"Then how can it be done?" the old thin high priest was terrified, for him, the dogma and etiquette of the royal family of the demon world were the fundamental principles of his actions.

The Great Dharma King ignored him and said to himself, "Have you set the program for machine No. 2?"

High Priest: "If you return to your lordship, it has already been set, and it will start on time in five days." ”

The Venerable King nodded, always in such a magnetic voice: "That's good, I heard that the superlative liliang of the Protoss-Heaven and Earth Old has traveled again, but even if he doesn't go, the effect of the No. 2 machine will make him anxious." ”

The High Priest praised: "Under the wise leadership of Your Excellency, our people will enter a great milestone, long live the Demon King, long live the Demon Queen, long live the Great Dharma King, I sincerely wish ......" (Han. ）

"Alright, alright. He motioned for him to stop, lazily propped his forehead with his hand and said, "Your identity is not suitable to be a messenger, is there anything else to do here besides the 'No. 2 machine'?"

"Yes, I brought the Demon Queen's secret letter. "The high priest's humble hands present the secret letter.

When he opened it, he couldn't help frowning and said, "The raid will be launched in five days, how can the demon queen propose such a big change." ”

"This ...... , maybe the demon queen has her own intentions!"

"Then do it! Thin brother, you pass on this secret order. A figure quickly jumped into the secret room, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared, and the secret order disappeared at the same time.

The high priest sighed with emotion: "What a skill, it is difficult to see such an outstanding character in the demon clan. ”

The cup smiled faintly and said, "Aren't there still you in the demon clan?"

"I, my subordinate boss, the Dharma King is wrong to love. ”

The cup smiled again: "The demon queen said on the secret document that you should stay here and help me, you go down first!--Fat brother, lead the high priest to his room." ”

A very dull voice came from outside the room: "Hmm-"

"The subordinates retired. The high priest bowed three more times and exited the chamber.

In fact, the appearance of the high priest in an important position was very ordinary, around eighty, and he really didn't see anything extraordinary. If there's anything different about him, it's that the pupil of his left eye is pure white.

......

Let's talk about leaves. He had already taken out the insecticide, but he couldn't do it for a long time, and the reason was very simple - he was targeting the saliva secreted by the spider queen, and if he used the insecticide, it would be bad if the spider queen was injured.

What should I do? Dense beads of sweat began to ooze from Ye's forehead again: Go back and prepare again? I'm afraid there is not enough time, and I don't have that kind of energy, haode, just fight!

Ye Yi gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then tried not to make a little noise, grabbed the rope behind his left, supported his feet on the cliff wall, and leaned into the dark spider cave with his right hand little by little.

The body of the spider queen is several times larger than that of ordinary earth spiders (can you imagine? that is, the size of a volleyball), so Ye can feel the position of the spider queen even if he doesn't have to look at it. But this black and deep spider hole still gave Ye Mo great fear, his back shivered, sweat rolled down his face, and his palms were soaked.

Ye felt that this spider hole was the mouth of a giant beast, and he was like a fool sending food into it with his right hand.

The spider hole was deeper than Ye had imagined, and Ye had to put his entire arm and shoulders in it, causing Ye's face to stick to the cliff wall, and a fist-sized earth spider crawled just a little in front of the tip of his nose, and Ye felt that he could almost feel its fluff shaking.

Please, hurry up, Ye gritted his teeth, aren't you making a horror movie now?

Suddenly, the leaf touched a fluffy "volleyball".

It's him! Taking advantage of the fact that the spider queen and all the earth spiders were still "sleeping", Ye Yi grabbed out the spider queen, and at the same time, as soon as the soil clod at the foothold was loosened, Ye slipped under his feet, and his body swung towards the rock wall, and at the same time had a "close contact" with dozens of spiders.

"Damn. After grasping the spider that began to struggle with his right hand, Ye slapped it on the cliff with his left hand, and swept himself away, and when he swung away, he put the spider queen into a burlap bag like lightning, and then put it into the Eight Treasure Bracelet together. When he swung back to the rock wall again, there were already hundreds of earth spiders boiling, Ye immediately pulled out the insecticide and sprayed it indiscriminately, and several big earth spiders jumped onto Ye with the strength of "people", and Ye hurriedly slapped them down.

But how can his speed keep up with the speed of the earth spider hundreds of times that of his own! Moreover, the insecticide does not die as soon as it is sprayed, and it will not take long for Ye to be "sticky" with the soil spider, and he is desperately biting his protective suit.

"Restrain me a little!" Ye hit the No. 1 medium-sized lightning spell - Razer.

Suddenly, Ye's body was surging with thunder, knocking those earth spiders out one by one and beating them down.

"You know how good I am!" Ye took the insecticide and sprayed it violently, and began to prepare to climb up.

found that a soil spider was lying on the rope at some point, and was desperately biting the rope.

Ye's heart tightened, and he hurriedly reached out to hit the spider, and the spider took a few steps up, dodging Ye's attack, and continued to bite the rope, while at the same time, other spiders also jumped on Ye one after another, and one jumped on Ye's face very unceremoniously. This frightened Ye, he was protected by protective clothing all over his body, except for his head, and he hurriedly messed with the spider, but his hand slipped and the insecticide was "removed" together.

Ye Xin was nervous, and hurriedly climbed up, hundreds of earth spiders crawled on the cliff wall to chase Ye.

And the earth spider that was biting the rope saw Ye climb up, turned his heart sideways, and clenched the rope tightly, and when Ye laboriously ripped it off, he took down a small handful of rope.

And another batch of soil spiders jumped onto the leaves.

The situation has to be said to be getting worse and worse, Ye finally revealed the child's instinctive fear in this situation where the adult Protoss would also be afraid, and his hands and feet were even more disobedient, and he couldn't use his strength.

It was another fierce battle, the rope was torn off under the violent shaking, and Ye lightning pulled out a short knife and nailed it into the cliff wall to stop the fall, but he was no longer able to resist the attack of the earth spider army, and he was covered with a soil spider "quilt" on his body.

I'm going to die here. Ye eyes turned white.

Terrible thoughts welled up in Ye's heart.

It's all over. ......

At the top of the cliff, Chi leaned over to watch the fierce battle between the Ye and the Earth Spider army, and thought to himself, "It seems that I can't support it anymore." His right foot moved forward and plunged straight into the abyss.

Jumping down is really much faster than climbing down, and it took less than ten seconds to fall to the position where the leaf was, and the right arm shone on the "enchantment", and hit the cliff wall with the courage of raising a knife to open the mountain, and the left hand made a point posture, and read lightly and urgently: "With my life, the fire god relays." Burn. ”

A bunch of sparks were pointed out by his fingertips, scaring away the spiders on Ye's body. Looking at Ye again, he was already scared and crying.

Chi Yi smiled: "Good boy, it's okay." ”

Countless earth spiders rushed up, and Chi recited again: "The gods are in all directions, and the grace is like the sea - fire sweeps." With a wave of his hand, a beautiful arc-shaped wall of fire was drawn not far from the feet of Ye Ye, to be precise, a line of defense as high as an adobe brick, (not that Chi deliberately reduced his power for fear of hurting Ye, but Chi only had this level.) Ha, you know! Chi is not proficient in any series of spells except for the two major stunts. ）

Taking advantage of the obstruction of the fire defense line, Chi held Ye in his arms and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go home." "Say hands and feet and crawl with xiangshang.

............

In the 8th Divine Domain.

An art teacher is supervising the children's drawings.

"Hey, hey, hey, the line of the eyes is wrong!" the teacher shouted at the top of his voice. -- Hoo -- another unqualified teacher.

"Teacher, I'm done. A student raised his masterpiece in the air.

"Take it and see it, if it's not good, I'll use it as toilet paper. ”

After watching for a moment.

"It's okay!" said the teacher, "What's the name of this painting?" "Hero." The child looked at the teacher's eyes proudly, probably this teacher rarely praises people!

"Heroes aren't like that. The art teacher said.

The child blinked: "Can't the gods who dare to fight with the beasts be called heroes?"

"That kind of person can only be called a hunter or a warrior at best, not a real hero. ”

"So, what does a hero look like!"

"Hmm...... , how to say it. The art teacher Hao Haode thought about it and said: "Heroes must not only have the spirit of sacrificing their lives for righteousness, but also have the ability to warm the wounded hearts of others." It is...... Well...... It's like the guy who moved me so much!" The art teacher drew a few strokes on the paper and hooked a portrait of a person.

The old man was not angry at being called an old teacher, and lit a cigarette for himself and said, "Handsome, you don't dare to praise him so much when he does things, and I don't know that the ugly girl will look up to him." ”

In the town of God's Domain No. 108, Yuexia Lei sneezed heavily.

............

In the face of the impatient earth spider, Chi's strong adaptability worked, only to see him have an idea, take off Ye's protective clothing, turn on the light, and use a short knife to nail the rock to attract the attention of the earth spider, so as to get rid of the pursuit of the earth spider army.

Later, when I looked back at the protective suit, it had been removed. Chi smiled lightly.

"Okay, it's okay. "Bare grasped the protruding rock with one hand, and released the leaf in his bosom with the other.

Seven-year-old Ye bit his lower lip stiffly, his face was blue and purple, and his little hands were still shaking!

He's still a kid!

Chi smiled and said, "Relax, it's okay, try to climb up by yourself!"

Ye nodded, his hands clutching the rock, but he couldn't climb a single step - he was still too nervous, and his muscles were hard.

Chi waited quietly for him for ten minutes.

"Okay" Ye finally let out a low roar, struggled to climb up, looked at his back and smiled: After all, I still cheered up, this little guy has completed a test! If he relies on me to carry him up today, I am afraid that he will not be able to become an excellent martial artist in his life.

Chi fed himself a piece of bean candy: - I was very happy to see another excellent rising star, and with one force, Xiangshang crawled at twice the speed of Ye.

In about a quarter of an hour, the two of them had climbed the 200-meter-high cliff. (If it weren't for Chi to take care of Ye, he wouldn't have used it for five minutes alone - he would be a monkey.) ）

was about to go to the top of the cliff, and Chi suddenly grabbed Ye's body. Has ―――――――― changed?

A shrill voice came from the top of the cliff, "Did you spot us?" ”

Chi fed himself a bean candy and said, "I changed my name, don't scream!"

More than a dozen black-clothed masked people poked out from the top of the cliff, startling Ye Yi: "What's going on!"

A masked man said: "We've 'hidden' the sound of breathing and heartbeat, I don't know how you found us." ”

Chiyi smiled, "Probably because I've been dealing with demons for a long time, I'm particularly sensitive to demonic energy—although you also try your best to hide it. ”

"Amazing, amazing, it's really the number one person who gives the demon queen a headache. The masked team smirked and collectively showed all kinds of darts: "But put yourself in a dangerous position, I don't think you are very shrewd." "The blades of the darts glowed blue in the moonlight—they were quenched with poison.

Chi was unconvinced: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm just throwing gold coins at you these days! Do you really want to pay tribute to me with these poisonous things?"

When the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

"Remember, I still have a blood bag on my head! But thank you for sparing my life, I have the opportunity to take your head today in exchange for a lifetime of blessings. ”

Chi sighed helplessly: "Then zuihou said: Who is the demon queen?" (Actually, in the ancient documents: the black-clad masked assassin is not called a ninja, but for the sake of modern readers' understanding, the author specially translated it.) ）

Chi suddenly revealed his "cold" character, and quickly pulled out his trouser belt with his right hand and whipped him, and none of the more than 100 hidden weapons could get close to Chi's body.

Chi Leng glanced at him: "Your answer is: No comment?" The cold wind blew across the entire cliff.

"Good, that's amazing. Ye was taken aback, the strength was accurate, the judgment was accurate and fast, and what was even more rare was the calmness when facing the enemy's killing moves in a dangerous situation. ――Mr. Nanachi's strength is beyond my imagination.

"It's so strong. The masked ninja was startled, and his body trembled slightly: I...... I underestimated this man too much. But we will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The ninjas hysterically took out bundles of zha medicine and said, "Choose! Either we blow you up or jump yourself." ”

His bare eyes were cold, and he snorted lightly: "I'll choose the third one." ”

“...... Idiot, what are you talking about. "The fuse was lit. Red turned out of the fire cloud, grabbed Ye's collar, and said softly: "- There will be seven later." ”

Dodging, a black shadow flashed in front of the eyes of the demon ninjas like a strange black light, and before the demon ninjas could react, Chi had already held Ye and fell steadily behind the ninjas, and the fuses in the hands of more than ten ninjas had also been pulled out one by one.

"Goblins...... Monsters!" the ninjas cried.

"Monster, am I that scary?" Chi Leng said coldly, slightly dissatisfied.

"Wait, don't be afraid. A demon forbearance was bold and said: "There are many of us, go up!" "Kill" More than ten ninjas seemed to have lost their minds, grabbed their knives and rushed up.

At this time, even Ye couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: Stupid, don't you know how big the gap is?

"Come back. As soon as the bare handle was twisted, the trouser belt was twisted into a hemp rope, and with a shake of the hand, the "dragon swing tail" knocked over the two in front of him, and with a wave of his arm, the "silver snake out of the hole" knocked down a string. Folded hands and sent them back and forth: "Sweeping thousands of troops", and there was a scream immediately. Chi threw out a rope flower, and the head of the rope smashed down in the air: "Yufeng nodded." Zuihou a ninja fell in response.

"Not yet!" said Chi amusedly, tethering his trousers.

"Okay, count you ruthless. A few ninjas who were not too seriously injured struggled to get up and said, "But let me tell you, we are only fourth-class ninjas in charge of intelligence work, and in a few days, the commander of the ninja world, Lord Shadow, will personally lead his subordinates to take your head, hum, even if you want to escape, it's too late now, wow hahaha." ”

Somehow, the ninja got a bag on his head and immediately fell to the ground.

"You didn't say it when I asked you before, but now it's so much trouble, I hate it. Rubbing his fists, he didn't know when he had recovered his "hot" personality, and said: "Now it's time for me to come up with the question, choose: (1) Jump off the cliff by yourself." (2) I'll throw you down. (3) Write a review of 2,000 words by yourself, and I will review it. Take your pick!"

Ye Crazy Falls: Uncle, don't do this!

The demons looked at each other, reached a tacit understanding, and jumped down to the cliff valley together. Chi was stunned: "I can't see it like this!"

Seeing that they were about to fall into the valley, suddenly the demons jumped up, took out a huge canvas like magic, and flew away like kites.

"Ha, the strength is not very good, and there are still a lot of crooked moves!" Chi smiled, turned his head to Ye and said, "Ye, we should also go." ”

Ye was puzzled: "Uncle, why do you want to let them go." "Fools know that if Chi Ken makes a move, none of them will be able to escape. Chi thought for a moment and said, "What do you say? I want to give them a chance! A chance to be good." ”

Ye couldn't help but be angry, and said: "Uncle, you are too merciful, if you don't kill them, they will still come to kill you, don't you see that they just made a move that wants your life? Also, they are all demons! And ......." ”

"Ye" Chi quietly interrupted Ye's series of insistent questions: "My life is not worth anything." ”

The night breeze blew the bright faces of the two people, and the fallen leaves danced with the wind. It's like poetry.

Chi lowered his head and whispered: "I have experienced war, I am really disgusted with the smell of blood, and sometimes I even feel that killing is like killing, so I decided a few days ago: if possible, I will not let my hands be covered with blood again." For this reason, I am willing to endure all kinds of pain and misfortune, so please be considerate of my feelings no matter what. ”

“...... I really don't understand what you think. The words fell, and Ye fell to the ground.

"Hey, hey, leaves, leaves. Chi hurriedly picked him up......

......

At the same time

Hundreds of elites in black were hurrying to carry all kinds of weapons.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry. "Some high-ranking black-clad detectives are in command. Among the items to be transported, all military supplies including machine guns, sabers, artillery shells, grenades, body armor, light machine guns, military rations, explosive shells, maps, uniforms, communicators, lights, incendiary bombs, climbing equipment, signal flares, and so on are in place.

In a small hall not far from here, Kun is explaining the battle to the squad leaders.

"The mission, codenamed 'Termination', was launched five days later at 22:00 on time, and was divided into three groups: Group A of 100 people, led by me. Group B is 300 people, led by the veteran black - Carlos. Group C is a mechanical unit. ...... On the day of the battle, the mechanical unit will bombard for 15 minutes, and then Group B will attack from the south to attract the enemy's attention, and after another 15 minutes, that is, at 22:30, Group A led by me will attack from the north and enter the enemy's core in one fell swoop. ”

The black-clothed captains replied loudly: "Understood." ”

A young man in black stood up and said, "What if you didn't send a signal, Your Excellency?"

Kun nodded and said, "If I haven't sent a signal at 23:00, Group B will surround the demon domain until they run out of supplies and surrender." ”

"This ...... Isn't your work too dangerous? ”

Kun motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Just do what I say, and as Mr. Anrik said: This is the biggest military operation since the Great War of Gods and Demons, and I hope you will work hard and not make any mistakes." ”

"Understood. ”

Kun Yi waved his hand and said, "The meeting is adjourned." ”

Everyone left their seats, and Kun asked the bearded man in a casual tone as he walked, "Can I use your communicator?"

The man said embarrassedly: "Everyone's communicator was taken away by the boss a few days ago. ”

"Oh...... That's okay, by the way, why haven't you seen Mr. Enric these days. ”

"This ...... , I heard that he went on a business trip. ”

Kun whispered, "-Really?"

A few hours later, all kinds of large military transport planes will depart from the headquarters in black, and in a day, they will reach the vicinity of the target, and four days later, the black-clothed troops will launch an attack on the base of the reactionary demons, the No. 0 Demon Domain.

......

When Ye woke up again, it was already three days later. Bai Ge said happily: "Third brother, you finally woke up, I've been worried about it for the past few days." ”

Ye looked around: he was in the tent. Asked, "What's wrong with me?" "Mr. Seven Strokes said that you were bitten on the back of the neck by a soil spider and almost died. ”

"Really?" Ye closed his eyes: "Let me sleep for a while." ”

A loud cry came from outside the tent: "Is Ye awake? Then I saw the orange get into the tent and grab the leaf and shake it violently: "Brother, are you okay? I'm so happy!" Then the sweet potato also entered the tent: "You guy, do you know how worried we are!" grabbed the leaf and shook it violently, until he foamed at the mouth.

The little brother of the white pigeon said: "Ye, are you hungry? ”

The sweet potato gave him a blank look: "People who have been sick for a long time and are recovering should eat soup." ”

"I have boiled water here. ”

"There is a big difference between plain water and soup! ”

"Wow...... I won't do it! Big brother, second brother scolded me again. ”

"Sweet potato, can't you just restrain your mouth?"

"Your tone of discipline is really disgusting!"

"Bastard, what do you say. ”

"Why, I want to fight!"

Ye looked helplessly at the three people who exploded the pot: It seems that he doesn't want to sleep.

"By the way, what about Mr. Seven Strokes?" Ye asked.

......

Outside the tent, Chi was building a raft, no, this is the top of the mountain, how could it be that he was building a raft!

Orange said: "If you can walk, go to Xiexie him! If he hadn't helped you with the wound, you would have hung up long ago." ”

Ye nodded and walked towards Chi. Oranges and the others walked away naturally.

Seeing him coming over, Chi said lightly: "Sit down!"

Ye nodded and sat down: "Xiexie, you saved me again." ”

Chi continued to busy his words: "Don't take that to heart,...... Can you answer me a question?"

"Ask! ”

"What are the psychological qualities that a good martial artist should have?"

Ye thought for a while: "You should have: wisdom, courage, confidence, decisiveness, as well as a firm will and a clear goal." ”

"One more thing. ”

"......" Ye seemed to know, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Chi took out a glass bottle and handed it to Ye: "I think what you want is this, I will help you extract it." ”

Ye stared blankly at the pale yellow liquid in the bottle - it was the saliva of the queen spider.

Chi said to himself: "The saliva behind the camouflage soil spider spider is called the 'Zhenhuang Secret Medicine', the market price is six figures, and there is no market, I remember correctly!" (Don't think that Chi is well-informed, these are common sense)

Ye's face changed slightly, and there was an undercurrent of wind and clouds.
