Chapter 127 Altar
This is revenge.
Naked revenge!
On the battlefield, strikers are simply cannon fodder, consumables, and resources in exchange for victory!
In order to protect the Ascendants, the fortress usually does not put them in the forward team. After all, soldiers can be trained again after they die, but Ascendants cannot be produced by training.
Moreover, those responsible for commanding the vanguard are often ordinary non-commissioned officers, not ascendants.
Now Xie Miao has asked Tianyang to command the forwards. To put it mildly, he thinks highly of you and appreciates you, so he entrusts you with an important task. To put it crudely, he is asking you to die.
At this time, an ascendant whispered: "Sir, did you make a mistake? Let an ascendant serve as the forward command. There seems to be no precedent for this."
"Just because there is no precedent doesn't mean there is none, nor does it mean it's not feasible!" Xie Miao gave him a cold look, "How about you change with him?"
The sublimated person's expression changed immediately. He didn't say anything, but just took two steps back.
Xiaoniao looked angry and was about to step forward to argue, but Tianyang stopped him.
Tianyang shook his head: "It doesn't matter, the forward is not bad either, and you can earn battle medals quickly."
This place is not in a fortress, but on a battlefield. Xie Miao also used the battlefield regulations as a basis, and Tianyang had no reason to object. But most importantly, Tianyang did not want to fall out with Xie Miao here.
After all, in a dangerous situation, a person's strength is limited. If it is not necessary, survival is more guaranteed if you go with a team.
Although, there is someone annoying in this team.
Seeing that Tianyang had no objection, Xie Miao's smile became even brighter, and there was a sense of pride in his eyes. He said loudly: "Since everyone has no objections, it has been decided. Now you have 10 minutes to rest, hurry up and check on you."
equipment."
Tianyang suddenly stretched out his hand and said: "I need a rifle."
Before coming here, he had never thought that he would need to deal with the Prowler, so he did not exchange for a rifle, nor did he specifically apply to the captain.
The situation is different now. A rifle is indeed much more convenient than a sword or death knell in dealing with prowlers.
His request was not excessive, so Xie Miao simply named the sublime who raised the question just now and asked him to give his rifle to Tianyang.
The sublimated person had no objection and did not dare to have any objection. He took off the rifle very cooperatively and handed it to Tianyang.
Also handed over to Tianyang were two gas magazines. Tianyang put these things away without forgetting to say thank you.
While resting, he re-examined his rank status.
I focused on the new ability, but did not get any relevant information. It seems that like the other two abilities, I need to explore it myself.
However, when he was thinking about the function of [Phantom], the stars in his body were about to stir, and Tianyang was very familiar with that feeling.
This is a sign that Xingyun is being assembled and ready to release its abilities.
Tianyang quickly calmed down Xingyun's activities so as not to attract attention. When the light dimmed in front of his eyes, it turned out that the little bird came over.
The girl put her hands on her hips and said in a tone that did not allow for objection: "Stay a while, I will take action with you."
Before Tianyang could answer, Xie Miao's voice rang out: "You don't have to do this, it's enough for the forward to direct one."
His eyes swept back and forth on the little bird's beautiful little face, and Xie Miao smiled all over his face. In fact, when he came to the stone beach, he had already noticed the little bird, and he was astonished.
But later when Tianyang was rescued, Xiaoniao not only looked worried, but also let Tianyang rest on his lap.
Xie Miao saw it and was really envious and jealous.
Now that he heard that Xiaoniao actually wanted to go to the front line with Tianyang, he was shocked and quickly interrupted.
"I don't think I've seen you before. Are you a newcomer? I take good care of newcomers. Just stay with me in the main formation for a while. I will protect you."
"unnecessary!"
Xiaoniao tossed his hair and stood with Tianyang: "He is a good friend of mine. In short, I will go wherever he goes. If you have any objections, you can complain to our captain after you return!"
Xie Miao still refused to give up: "Don't be stupid, the striker is very dangerous. A delicate little girl like you may die in a minute, why take risks with him?"
"By the way, I wonder if you have heard of our Xie family. I am not afraid to tell you that our Xie family is definitely among the top ten families in Qingtian Castle!"
The implication is nothing more than a hint to Xiaoniao that Xie Miao will have a bright future with him.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoniao burst out laughing: "It's just the top ten, what's so great about it? Even the whole Yun family is not polite to me when they see me. Your Xie family is nothing!"
After saying that, she quickly covered her mouth, looked around carefully, and finally patted her chest gently: "It's okay, okay, my sister and the others are not here. Little bird, little bird, ladies can't use foul language. I won't do it next time.
It won’t be the same next time.”
When Xie Miao saw that he didn't take his family seriously at all, and said that the Xie family was nothing, he was so angry that he was fuming. If there weren't too many people around, and Xiaoniao's beautiful face, he was fascinated
Already.
If it were another person, he would have slapped the other person in the morning.
Xie Miao snorted and walked away: "Then it's up to you."
After he left, Tianyang coughed dryly: "Although that guy is quite annoying, he is right, the striker is too dangerous, you..."
Xiaoniao slapped the thin sword at his waist: "So what, I am a level 3 warrior. How can it be difficult for me to be defeated by a mere prowler? Don't worry, I will protect you!"
Tianyang looked at her in disbelief, unable to believe that this girl who was similar to her own age was actually a level 3 sublime!
Even he himself has just been promoted to level 2. Considering the promotion speed of an ascendant, it can be said that it is fast enough.
Could it be that this girl, who looks younger, is actually the captain's age?
"Um, how old are you, little bird?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, just asking."
"Oh, I will be 17 years old in two months, what about you?"
"What, you're not 17 yet?"
"Yes, for what?"
...
It's time to set off.
Tianyang has become close to the soldiers. Although they have not known each other for a long time, he can already call every soldier by name.
He and the soldiers established several command phrases and gestures so that they could flexibly and quickly command the team during battle.
After Xie Miao shouted the word "go", Tianyang led the vanguard team to the front.
The little bird was walking next to him, and the girl didn't seem to feel nervous at all. On the contrary, her big eyes were shining with expectation, and she didn't know what she was looking forward to.
I know that Xiaoniao is not yet 17 years old, and she only became an ascendant six months ago. In other words, in just six months, she was promoted twice in a row.
Not to mention Qingtian Castle, this sublimation speed is considered rare even if it is thrown into several super fortresses where experts gather.
When Tianyang was promoted just now, he was still a little proud of himself for being promoted to level 2 so quickly. Now, this feeling has long since disappeared.
As soon as Tianyang entered the cave, he could immediately feel that the temperature in the air had dropped and the humidity had increased a lot.
Moreover, there was a "ding-dah-dah" sound of water falling deep in the cave. There might be an underground river deep in the cave. Everyone in the forward team set up their rifles, and they were equipped with tactical lighting accessories. More than a dozen lights were shining on them.
Sweeping in the cave.
It's not as bright as day, but it's really not difficult to see clearly what's in the cave.
Since Yan Bing had explored the road before, Tianyang asked him to walk beside him and led everyone towards the direction of the Necromancer Tree.
When you drilled through a hole, the passage extended downwards. The ground was uneven, and the rugged tunnel stretched into the darkness.
When people go down, they feel as if they are heading towards hell.
Fortunately, this passage is not long, and we will reach the end in a few minutes.
"There are some weird things ahead, but there is no danger." Yan Bing reminded in a low voice.
Tianyang nodded and turned a corner with Yan Bing. A white skeleton suddenly appeared in the light in front of him. Tianyang's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. This thing appeared without warning.
The non-human skeleton had a strong visual impact, especially the two empty eye sockets on the skull, which were facing the sun, making the boy think for a moment that he was being targeted by some gangster.
The team carefully passed by the skeleton lying on the ground, which looked like a large reptile with long horns.
Next, there are more and more skeletons, some of which may even be human skeletons. The strange thing is that no matter what kind of creature the skeletons are, they are all facing the same direction.
They were all facing the forward team, and it looked like they were trying to escape from something.
Moreover, a large number of gnawing marks can be seen on these skeletons. The tooth marks left on the skeletons are of different shapes and overlap with each other.
Even if we call in a biologist, he probably won't be able to tell what it was that bit him.
"It should have been bitten by the Prowler." Yan Bing whispered, "After all, the Necromantic Tree is right in front."
Tianyang nodded: "It's possible, but in short, everyone should be careful."
After passing the bone pile, they came to an underground hall, which was a natural cave. The cave was very high, and the light was shining upward, so the roof of the cave could not be seen.
Bamboo shoot-like stone pillars support the underground hall. On the stone pillars grow common bacterial colonies in the reverse world. Unlike those in Gemstone Town, these bacterial colonies do not glow, and they are fat and sickly, making people reluctant to approach them.
Right in the center of the underground hall, there is an artificial pedestal. It has a regular shape, clear and straight lines, unlike natural creations.
What's more, there are artificial stone steps on both sides of the pedestal.
From the stairs to the pedestal, there are corpses lying there. Especially on the pedestal, the bones are piled up one after another, forming a hill!
Tianyang called out softly: "What is this?"
Yan Bing shook his head: "I don't know. When we saw this thing just now, we were all shocked. That high platform doesn't look like it was made by black people. Could it be that it was made by the residents of the past who went against the world?
for?"
"It's the altar."
The little bird circled the high platform twice and became more and more sure: "It should be right, I have seen similar things in the book. According to the information we collected in the reverse world, the residents of the reverse world, regardless of this
Plant something called an altar."
