Biyue Lake is crescent-shaped and spreads out to the east. Encircled by the crescent is the city of New Feso Port under construction in the center. Biyue Town is located on the tip of the crescent in the north, about 20 kilometers away from New Feso Port City.
It is currently surrounded by wilderness, and to the southwest is Moon Covering Lake. Hua Zhenxing can be sure that the two missing classmates are not in the lake, because tracing back to the time when they disappeared, he and Manman were at the lake in that area.
The Sino-Hua dragon is swimming under the hood.
Yangyuan Valley has mobilized a large number of manpower to search, but if a person really enters the depths of the wilderness, no matter how many manpower there are, it is not enough. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Whether you can find it depends on luck.
In order to prevent further accidents, Hua Zhenxing ordered that only monks at the fourth level and above could enter the wilderness, and that twelve people should travel in groups, so that they could form a Magnolia Sword Formation at any time.
These people only searched the nearby area. Yangyuan Valley also sent four Dacheng monks, each holding a flying artifact to search in four directions.
Among them, Hua Zhenxing is responsible for the north, because he has the highest level of cultivation among all people and the best understanding of the local situation. The north is the wasteland area with the largest area and the most complicated conditions.
Hua Zhenxing collected the daily necessities of the two people in advance, used the detection magic and the circular light mirror spell, and "saw" the scene when they left.
As expected, they walked to the northern wilderness together, probably to appreciate the local natural scenery. They were a little excited and curious, and did not realize that there might be danger.
The monks have many incredible magical powers. If they react earlier, no matter what happens to these two people, at least their whereabouts will be found soon.
However, by the time Hua Zhenxing used his magical power, nearly five days had passed. Detecting divine magic also requires the so-called "spiritual guidance", which is trace information that is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but most of this information has dissipated.
Hua Zhenxing's high-level detection magic combined with the magical power of the circular light mirror could only trace the trace dozens of kilometers away in the north direction. He could only confirm that the two people had arrived there, and then lost their whereabouts.
The atmosphere in this area is chaotic, and there are large-scale wild animal activities, leaving traces of various groups of animals running and trampling.
Hua Zhenxing, Shi Zhongming, Gao Jianling, Pan Cai and other four people separated from this location and started searching in four locations respectively.
There are currently eight Dacheng monks in Yangyuan Valley, namely Hua Zhenxing, Pan Cai, Sima Zhi, Wang Fengshou, Manman, Tang Senzhi, Gao Jianling, Fang Chuanchan. There are also Ye Zongqing and Ye Zongqing who are resident in Huanxiang Tebang.
Shi Zhongming, they can be considered half Yangyuan Valley monks.
These Dacheng monks usually sit on one side, and it is difficult to disturb them for ordinary things. For this embarrassing accident, Hua Zhenxing could only mobilize three people at the moment, and even he himself was dispatched.
Wang Fengshou is the foreign minister and intelligence chief of Jili. He is so busy on weekdays that he cannot abandon his work and come to the wilderness to look for people. Manman and Fang Chuanchan are both far away in the East Kingdom. One has just gone back to school, and the other has just returned.
Go back to work.
Sima Zhi was quite close, but unfortunately he was in the midst of a vacuum and lost all his magical powers. Tang Senzhi couldn't leave at all. He had to make decisions on many tasks every day, and Ye Zongqing, who had the highest level of cultivation, couldn't leave either.
Although the teachers and students of Fesuogang University returned from the construction site in Biyue Town, the construction in Biyue Town did not stop. Yangyuan Valley sent another team of monks to continue the construction.
The city wall is integrated into the overall formation, and the formation must be deployed at the same time as the construction. The formation designed by Hua Zhenxing requires at least a seventh-level cultivation level to coordinate the deployment.
Apart from Hua Zhenxing, Ye Zongqing was the only seventh-level monk on site. Once she left, the entire construction site had to stop work, and hundreds of people had to wait.
The people who got lost were the people from Wuxin Valley. As the owner of Wuxin Valley, Ye Zongqing was the most anxious, but he couldn't stop the whole project just because the two people got lost without authorization. Another great elder, Shi Zhongming, was sent
Out.
Gao Jianling happened to be going to Huanxiangte State to "report on work". Hearing the news, he took the initiative to ask for help. It only took six hours to take a special plane back from the Viking country, and he picked up Pan Cai in Brussels on the way.
Just looking at the experts involved in search and rescue, you can tell how big a battle this is.
Why does Hua Zhenxian pay so much attention to this matter? Of course saving people is partly the reason, but on the other hand he always feels that it is unusual. If he doesn’t understand the reason, he always feels unsure. Even two monks in the third realm can get into trouble!
Hua Zhenxing used the shape of Devouring Wither, transformed into a crown wither and flew to high altitude, patrolling back and forth in a zigzag pattern, scanning a large fan-shaped area extending outward.
What he is best at is transforming into a crane, but compared to the flying speed and eyesight of a crane, it is most convenient to transform into a crane for this kind of search.
The search area extended for tens of kilometers to the north, and he stretched his spiritual consciousness to the limit. Even Hua Zhenxing felt tired. If he wanted to find a lost sheep, as long as he was here and it was not eaten, he would probably be there at this moment.
Found it too.
When Hua Zhenxing was about to land, he finally found some traces. Someone had been camping deep in the wilderness, because there were the remains of a campfire in the depression of a certain hill.
Wild animals don't know how to light fires, let alone deliberately erase traces of fires. All the ashes are buried under the soil. If Hua Zhenxing hadn't launched a spiritual search at high altitude, he really wouldn't have been able to detect the abnormality in the soil.
This bonfire seemed to have been left a few days ago, and should coincide with the time when the two students disappeared. Hua Zhenxing judged that this was the work of a master, and it was definitely not the fire lit by the two students.
If there is a campfire, there will definitely be traces, such as where the campers came from and where they went. However, Huazhenxing cannot find any relevant traces, which shows that the campers are very good at sneaking and are very cautious, and have erased all clues of their whereabouts.
.
If Hua Zhenxing can't be traced, he must be a master, and he is probably not a good person! Why do you think so? If you are so cautious in this deserted place and don't even leave a trace, you probably haven't done anything good.
Bar?
Hua Zhenxing discovered that he had been to this place before. When he escorted Rozchild through the wilderness to the Miri Airport in Tema, he took this route, and he had also camped nearby.
It was discovered that someone had been camping in the wilderness, but Hua Zhenxing was not sure whether this was related to the disappearance of the two students. Fortunately, he found the campfire, and used the circular light mirror with the aid of detection magic, and vaguely saw a black figure.
The fog-like figure drifted away to the north.
This is definitely not a normal person. How could a normal person's figure turn into a black mist and walk while floating? Unfortunately, the other party did not leave much detectable information. We could only see that he was leaving from this direction.
Hua Zhenxing was not in a hurry to track down the people who passed by a few days ago. It was too late to catch up now. He carefully changed a place, set up a warning circle of stone nods, rested for a while to regain his composure, and then flew back to
in the air.
This time he flew very low and very slowly. Not only did he observe with his withered eyesight, but his spiritual consciousness scanned it even more delicately. Finally, he found another trace more than ten kilometers away in the north - someone had passed by here.
The other party may be more cautious at certain times, such as before and after camping, but there is always a time to relax during the journey. As long as the person does not fly away directly, there will always be some traces left.
Hua Zhenxing used a stupid method. He didn't believe that a person could perfectly hide his tracks during the entire process of walking through the wilderness. Even he himself couldn't do this. But this stupid method really worked.
The crown fell to the ground and turned into a ferocious tiger. The ferocious tiger seemed to be thinking, shook its head and turned into a leopard again. The original intention of turning into a tiger was for tracking, because tigers have a good sense of smell, and Hua Zhenxing is very good at swallowing the form of a tiger.
Its proficiency is second only to crane and dragon.
But after landing, he realized that there were no tigers in this area at all. This was clearly telling the witnesses that there was something wrong with the animal. He, the tracker, should also be cautious enough to try to avoid being counter-detected by the opponent, so it became
Leopard.
Old Man Yang taught him eight methods of swallowing shapes. Hua Zhenxing has mastered the five methods of swallowing birds, swallowing cranes, swallowing tigers, swallowing leopards, and swallowing dragons. He also has not yet mastered the three methods of swallowing sturgeons, swallowing birds, and swallowing dragons.
Practice proficiency.
Hua Zhenxing had to admire the ancient monks who could actually create such a complicated secret method. His original intention may be to understand the way to transcend all living beings and races. But what Old Man Yang said is right, practicing the Swallowing Form Technique is only to understand its true meaning.
There is no need to learn too many methods of swallowing shapes.
It is not easy to learn each form-swallowing method, and it takes a lot of energy. If there is no breakthrough in the realm, it is actually equivalent to a low-level repetition, and it is a repeated dissolution of self-awareness and self-understanding.
.
Whether you can turn into a tiger or a leopard doesn't mean much to an expert.
But Hua Zhenxing not only learned it, but also cultivated five kinds in succession. He mainly found it interesting. On the other hand, Old Man Yang could teach him eight kinds, which meant that he knew at least eight kinds. Hua Zhenxing didn't think it would be useful to learn a few more.
wrong.
The state of cultivation in front of him was very special. He had reached the extreme of the seven realms but seemed to have stagnated. Yue Gaole once hinted that he could be reborn, but Hua Zhenxing himself had no such awareness, and he was not even in a hurry.
Doesn't he want to break through to a higher realm of cultivation? Of course not! We cannot speculate on a monk like him with the mentality of an ordinary person. Hua Zhenxing always feels that his cultivation is not up to the point, and he is not yet perfect in the seventh realm, that is, the realm of the gods.
.
The more important reason is that he is the founder of Yangyuan Technique, not a simple practitioner. If the cultivation process of each level of the technique is not understood, it will be difficult to guide and enlighten others.
So he insisted on cultivating the world in the gourd, practicing various weapon techniques, elixir techniques, spells, and formations. He also built a real-life neighborhood in the world in the gourd, and practiced so many methods of swallowing shapes. In fact, all
It is a means of verification.
The disciples of Yangyuan Valley call him the chief instructor. In a sense, this title is very suitable. There seems to be no inheritance in Yangyuan Valley that he can't do. At this moment, he turned into a tiger and then into a leopard. He carefully sensed the camper.
The breath left behind.
The sense of smell of tigers and leopards is extremely keen, not to mention that Hua Zhenxing is not an ordinary leopard, but equivalent to a powerful leopard demon. What he searches for is not just a simple smell, but also includes intuition that is very mysterious to ordinary people.
The man passed by here, and the breath he left behind made Hua Zhenxing instinctively feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain the reason. The leopard walked through the grass and trees, across the plains and hills, following this faint trace.
Feel.
Even as night fell, he did not stop. When the light dimmed, he looked up again. There was no road ahead, and there was a razor-sharp grid that even elephants could not pass. He had already arrived at the border between the Kingdom of Kilili and the Kingdom of Tema.
The same gill mesh fence is also found at the junction of the farming area and the Shire City. It is the boundary line of Huanxiangte State, or the private land fence of Fengzibin.
The border between the Tema Kingdom and the Kilili Kingdom originally had only boundary markers, and you could cross the border at will. However, after crossing the border, there is at least more than a hundred kilometers of uninhabited wilderness. If you go in the wrong direction, you will have to cross hundreds of kilometers of wilderness before you can find people.
There are no perennial rivers in this wasteland, making it unsuitable for human settlement. Since ancient times, there have been natural barriers between local tribes, and there are no obvious or conventional boundaries.
Later, the Western colonists divided their spheres of influence and directly drew a line on the map according to dimensions.
Feng Zibin not only bought nearly 100,000 square kilometers of land in the northernmost part of Jili Kingdom, but also bought 50,000 square kilometers of Gobi Desert at the junction of Tema Kingdom and Lanni Kingdom in the northwest, and later used the same shape.
gill mesh fence markers.
Among them, the border with Tema Country is almost a straight line on the map, with a length of nearly 300 kilometers. It was built by Huanxiang Industry in Tema Country, because it is very difficult to construct it here in Kilili Country.
convenient.
The factory that originally produced razor grids in Northeast China was later simply acquired by Huanxiang Industrial. Even the production line technicians were moved to the Kingdom of Kilili. Now the Wage Mining Industry in the Kingdom of Kilili is able to produce the required steel.
.
The razor wire fence on this border has openings in five places with relatively special terrain, mainly for wild animals to migrate through. They are all in inaccessible places, and there are no gaps in this area.
The nearly four-meter-high razor grille showed no signs of damage. If someone passed by here, they would have climbed over it directly. The leopard transformed by Hua Zhenxing jumped straight over.
Not far further, we reached an inhabited area, and a road appeared. In many places in the Black Wilderness Continent, human habitation and wilderness are actually intertwined. Many so-called roads are compacted dirt avenues without grass.
.
But the standard of this road is still relatively high. It is at least paved with cinders and gravel. Along it, you can go to Miri Airport on the outskirts of Miri City, the capital of Tema. When Hua Zhenxing came to the road, he transformed and returned to his human appearance.
.
He had walked this road, seven and a half years ago with Dr. Luo, and it was inevitable to feel a little emotional when he revisited the old place. At this time, a shabby pickup truck came from behind and stopped beside him. The window of the passenger seat
A pistol was stretched out.
"Dongzhou Lao, money!"
Such simple and plain language, Hua Zhenxing hadn’t heard it in years. He turned around and saw that not only the big black man in the passenger seat had taken out a gun, but the driver in the driver’s seat also took out a gun and was gesticulating, listening to the harsh music.
Shaking his head like he's having epilepsy.
Hua Zhenxing sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little confused, feeling as if he had traveled through time and returned to the world of the past.
It is so normal for a Dongzhou person to walk alone in such a place and encounter such a scene - this is the normality of that world, and it feels so abnormal!
Seeing that Hua Zhenxing did not respond, the two guys were about to make a move when Hua Zhenxing suddenly flew up and saw the pickup truck spinning out and landing in the bushes on the roadside with a loud noise.
When he first came here, the talented Hua Zhenxing could kick someone away. Now he not only has the seventh level of cultivation, but also took the Lu Wu Shen Lun Dan and practiced the Iron Wa Gold She Jue, and he can kick someone away with his feet.
A pickup truck is just a small thing.
Hua Zhenxing was in a bad mood, and the two people happened to bump into his gun... He continued to move forward, heard the roar of the plane, and then saw Miri Airport.
Miri Airport was the first airport that Hua Zhenxing had ever seen. At that time, he thought it was so beautiful and majestic. Hua Zhenxing was very envious and hoped that there would be such an airport near his home. He was fifteen years old at that time.
He will turn twenty-three next month. When he sees Miri Airport again, it is almost the same as it was back then. It is not a tall two-story terminal building and only has a standard runway, but it looks more shabby.
The airport is built in the suburbs. This is a real suburb. When the plane lands, passengers may see giraffes running in the distance through the windows.
Unknowingly, Huazhenxing came to a familiar place again, which was the corner at the end of the terminal building. There were green belts on both sides of the walking path, which were carefully trimmed.
It’s not that there is anything wrong with retaining a green belt, but if there is such a green belt in such a corner, when the vegetation grows high, it will form a visual blind spot. This kind of place is often suitable for something bad to happen.
I remember that after sending Rozchild away, Hua Zhenxing walked past here and was blocked by two and a half young men. The other party took a fancy to his shoes, forced him to take them off with a knife, and even tried to rob him.
clothes.
Hua Zhenxing remembered that he kicked away the kid holding the knife. The man jumped over the bushes, smashed the glass and flew into the airport terminal... Looking up, he saw that the large piece of glass had been repaired long ago, but the color was obviously different.
Matching is like an ugly scar.
The original glass in the terminal building is darker in color, looks bluish-blue from the outside, and has a certain sunshade and single-transparent effect. However, it was later installed with an ordinary piece of white glass, and the thickness is much thinner, and the size at the top is still poor.
It's a little bit filled with glue.
In fact, Huazhenxing knows this airport very well, and later learned that it was also built with the help of Dongguo, and its standards are very high for Miri City. Wouldn't a good airport know how to maintain it? Even a piece of glass can be repaired like this
Scribbling?
Is it simply due to lack of money? As far as Huazhenxing knows, it is not. This airport is profitable. In Dongguo terms, it is a rare "good unit" in Tema Country. Even Huanxiang Industrial has spent money on it.
A lot of money.
It seems that Rozchild Airport was not yet open to air traffic, so Huanxiang Industrial specially "bought" Miri Airport. A large number of people from Dongguo boarded and disembarked from the plane here.
They took a special car from Miri Airport to and from the nearest shipping terminal, and then took a ferry arranged by Huanxiang Industrial to and from Fiso Port. This was the most convenient route to and from Dongguo at that time.
The piece of glass in front of me symbolizes the current situation of many places in the Black Desert Continent, just like the Kingdom of Miles back then. Even if many facilities and equipment are built and provided, the locals can barely use them and will not maintain or repair them.
There is neither technology nor materials, and even the locals have no awareness of maintenance and repair.
Some people may think that repairing a piece of glass is easy, just go to the market, or call a repairman directly. But this kind of glass is not produced locally, and there are not even decent glaziers. What else can you do?
Some simple machines have so-called "failures". In fact, you only need to open the casing and tighten a few screws. But people who don't know just don't know. Anyway, they only know that the thing is broken.
How could life be better if it was always like this?
But some things always need to be repaired, such as cars. It is rare for someone to repair a car, even if it is just to replace the simplest parts, you can open a car repair shop, but these shops are usually controlled by the gangs in the neighborhood.
Repair shops can also become a financial source and stronghold for gangsters, monopolizing the business within their sphere of influence. Anyway, most people don't understand that they have the final say on how much they should charge.
As for the supply channels of spare parts, they are controlled by larger power groups above these gangs, and they have also become a means of making money by dividing the spheres of influence.
What was originally a normal business will turn into a weird situation when the world is not normal.
I think back when the Straw Shoes Gang took root in Fisoport, they started by doing repairs. They not only helped people repair things but also taught them how to repair things. They also worked together to help each other and resisted the oppression of major gangs...
Hua Zhenxing was lost in thought in front of a piece of glass when two more people appeared in front and behind him, blocking him on the green trail.
The visitors were no longer the young men of the past, but young men about the same age as Hua Zhenxing. They each took out their daggers, and the man in front said: "Don't scream!"
The man behind said: "Money! And your shoes!"
They all spoke English, including the people in the pickup truck just now. They may not have taken a formal English class, but they have mastered such vocabulary and conversation, and even used the tense correctly. Is it this?
Is this what is called professional English?
Places like Tema and cities like Miri also have so-called noble neighborhoods that are relatively safe and orderly. The airport is not a neighborhood, but it is also a very safe place. Various big shots and foreign guests come and go. There are many security guards and police patrols.
But ordinary guests will not appear in such a corner. They use open passages to and from the bus. Huazhenxing comes from outside the tarmac and around the back of the terminal building. People may be watching from all the way.
.
There are many thieves in places like this, and these people are usually not very "professional" and will rob if given the opportunity.
With a piercing sound, the ugly white glass shattered again, and a person flew in, followed by another person.
The patrolling police and airport security were alerted, but Hua Zhenxing had already left this corner and appeared outside the terminal gate.
He was originally following a faint, inexplicable feeling that made him very uncomfortable. It was strange that he was in a good mood under such circumstances. His mood at the moment was even worse, because he had
The target was lost.
This airport, this place, this city, this country, the world it represents, the invisible aura makes Hua Zhenxing very uncomfortable, just like the Fesuo Port and the Kingdom of Kilili in those days, of course that feeling is also
It's impossible to tell the difference.
At this moment, he suddenly frowned slightly, because the "system" came on another mission——
Mission 34: Investigate the disappearance of the Yangyuan Master and uncover the dark creatures.
Mission reward: Discover hidden dangers in cultivating the art of cultivating energy, and try to eliminate them if possible.
