In the days that followed, Qin Xuan's War Department's sweep across the wilderness slowed down a lot. As the commander, Qin Xuan spent most of his time in the camp without going out. Many people in the War Department secretly speculated that Qin Xuan was killed by three hundred people. The human witches smashed the battle formation into pieces, and reached the core position of the Chinese army and suffered a blow. At this time, they were in the healing stage.
Ding Jian, Xiao Yuan and the others were much less dissatisfied with the Great Witch Sect. They were deeply shocked by the strength of the Witch Club. Being guarded by thousands of troops could not bring them any sense of security at all. They even suspected that only Meng Yang was the only one. People, even if you want to kill them, it is as easy as picking something out of a bag.
The disciples are so powerful, so what is the strength of the master?
In the meantime, Xiao Yuan and Ding Jian went to the camp to visit Qin Xuan many times, but were turned away each time.
However, with the addition of the War Department, the overall speed of exploring the wilderness is still much faster than before.
A month after Lin Li came to Dongfang's home in Daqianzhou, he finally completed all exploration of the wilderness in Jinzhou. All the stone tablet fragments harvested were nine, plus the one he got from Chunyang Gate, and the two in Lin Li's hands. A total of twelve stone tablet fragments were obtained.
Put together, these stone tablet fragments are as big as a house and a half, but they still cannot be connected together.
It can be seen from this that we don’t know how many fragments of this kind of stone tablet there are in total, and how big is the original whole stone tablet?
At this time, almost all the forces had thoroughly explored the wilderness and secret areas within their jurisdiction. They had obtained fragments of stone tablets, and the war departments in their hands suddenly became free.
Lin Li's strength is steadily improving, and he doesn't have to worry about extending his life. He has nothing to worry about except the safety of Jinzhou, and he can leisurely accompany Dongfang Hui, who is giving birth, at Dongfang's house.
…
A secret place of the Presbyterian Church.
Two Supreme Elders gathered together. These two Supreme Elders had white hair and beards. They looked old and even had a lifeless air. They were both old people who had survived from the ancient dynasty. Now, their end is approaching.
One of them is named Han, and the other is named Qiu.
Elder Han sat cross-legged on the futon without moving. He had been in a state of trance for three years. The white beard under his lips twitched, "Old Chen went out again?"
Elder Qiu and Elder Han are in the same state. Their time is approaching. Only by staying in samadhi and slowing down their life state like an old turtle can they live longer. The Old Chen mentioned by Elder Han is another Supreme Elder who is also an ancient An old man who survived the period.
Elder Qiu said with envy: "Old Chen is younger than us. He should still have decades to live. Sometimes, I really envy him. He doesn't have to be like us and the living dead. But I can't envy him. , we can only wait for that opportunity."
Elder Han pointed in front of him. There were fragments of stone tablets placed on the ground in front of the two of them. Counting them, there were as many as thirty pieces. Put together, these stone tablet fragments were as big as five houses. .
Facing so many fragments of stone tablets, Elder Han had a worried look on his face, "The wilderness and secret areas within the territory have all been explored. This is all the harvest. And we have been operating for many years. I am confident that in all Among the forces, we must have obtained the most fragments. But if you look at it, you can’t even put together a corner of the thirty fragments of the stone tablet. Even if all the harvests of other companies were gathered together, I believe we can’t even get a third of the entire stone tablet. 1. Where are the remaining fragments? Has the opportunity not arrived yet? It’s almost time.”
Elder Qiu comforted him and said: "If God kills you and me, there is no point in hurrying. If God leaves us with a glimmer of hope, we will hold on tight."
Elder Qiu stretched out a wrinkled finger and pointed at the two fragments of stone tablets with matching corners, "That is a glimmer of hope."
Driven by the invisible force, the two stone stele fragments were connected together. Strangely, the originally lifeless stone stele fragments suddenly lit up with a faint brilliance. After a moment, the joint was as smooth as a mirror. The original fonts engraved on the stone stele fragments gradually
Differentiation, a large font is divided into several small fonts that emit light, and these small fonts form sentences that are difficult to understand.
"We understand the contents of these two fragments, hoping to gain something and extend our life for a few years until the opportunity comes."
Elder Qiu was slightly excited and said.
"Start." Elder Han said the same way.
…
The Holy Emperor Dynasty, the Dark Emperor Dynasty, and the Taishang Dao also performed the same thing. They gathered the fragments of the stone tablets they obtained. Either all of them were isolated, or at most one piece could be combined together.
As for the weaker forces such as the Aristocratic Family Alliance, the Gentleman Alliance, and the Buddhist Alliance, they received fewer stone tablet fragments, only three to five pieces. Although the function of the stone tablet fragments is not clear for the time being, it does not prevent them from paying attention to it.
, carefully preserved.
At the same time, they are frightened. The fragments of the stone tablet are a hot potato. The more valuable it is, the higher the risk of holding it. The situation that has just stabilized is very likely to fall into chaos again due to the fight for the fragments of the stone tablet.
The only places that are peaceful now are those remote places in the central states of Guiyuan Continent. These places are considered to be the edges of Guiyuan Continent, such as the places to the west of the desert in the west of the Great Florida State, and the icy land north of the Great Bingzhou.
The land, the vast sea to the east of the mainland...and the extremely difficult and endless wilderness.
It's just that these remote places are rarely inhabited, and there is no way to cause chaos even if you want to.
If we say that the most valuable thing in the four directions of Guiyuan Continent is the extremely difficult wilderness. It is an endless wilderness left over from ancient times. It is full of dangers and cannot be compared with the wilderness within the country.
It is said that even if several people in the longevity realm formed a group to go deep into the wilderness, they still narrowly escaped death.
The state bordering the wilderness is called Southern Wilderness State, which is a paradise for mercenary groups.
Although no one dares to set foot in the depths of the wilderness, the edges alone are enough for the mercenaries to struggle with, and the rich rewards are enough to make up for the risks they have experienced.
It's just that the Southern Wilderness is too remote, so the power of Zhongzhou has not been extended there for the time being. And for them, the wilderness and secret lands within the territory have not been explored, so naturally they will not go across tens of thousands of miles to the wild wilderness of the extreme south, regardless of the distance.
It is not easy to cultivate masters. Even if you harvest more resources in the wilderness, the gains outweigh the losses.
This is also the biggest reason why no one cares about the extreme southern wilderness. If nothing happens, this situation will continue.
What broke this state was a second-rate mercenary group. The mercenary group came back from the wilderness. This time they went a little deeper and brought back something that looked like a fragment of a stone tablet...
