Chapter 566 Old Honors
Because of the machine gun fire from the airships overhead, the oncoming white plague could not be stopped on the road, so they continued to pour into the rift.
Many of the white plague invaders had explosives hidden in their stomachs. Some of them rushed forward and were seen by Chen Chuan and Chen Bi Tong from a distance, who then killed them with stones.
But some of them detonated their explosives as soon as they saw the two people, causing huge explosions to occur one after another, and the impact waves raged here one after another.
This surging momentum lasted for half an hour. Perhaps the army had used up all its white plague, or perhaps they felt that the people had retreated, so they stopped temporarily.
However, the sound of the propeller blades above was still clearly audible, indicating that the airship had not moved away and was still hovering there.
Just a few steps away from the other exit, Chen Chuan and Chen Bitong were sitting on two broken concrete pillars respectively.
In front of them was a partially collapsed building wall, which was swept in by the previous expansion of the crack and just provided them with shelter.
Chen Chuan waved away the cigarette ash that was swept by the airflow and said, "If they had used this method just now, they might have forced us out."
Chen Bitong said: "They won't do that. They don't want us to retreat, because that would make it more difficult for them to deal with us.
There is also this kind of attack that mobilizes firepower, because it will reduce the presence of many warriors, which they extremely reject. They will not use it if they can avoid it, unless they have tried it repeatedly and still failed.
Captain Chen should have seen it when he went down just now. They are organizing our offensive. Even if they failed this time, they would not do this if they could escape unscathed. They can only mobilize forces from other places. "
Chen Chuan nodded.
So their choice just now was correct.
If we wait until the enemy comes to attack, we must be fully prepared. The strength of the two generals, the commander and the deputy commander, is actually not weak. In addition, there are people cooperating with them, so we have a great advantage against them.
Even if they cannot defeat them for the time being, when they see that the momentum is not right, they can retreat like last time, and they may not be able to stop them.
Next time, they will definitely mobilize or organize a stronger force than last time, and it will inevitably become more and more difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, they killed them in advance, which created a gap in the opponent's strength. Although these machine guns and artillery were very powerful, they did not pose such a big threat to them. The attack just now was more like a venting of anger and stimulation.
Chen Bitong looked outside and said, "It looks like we still have some time. Let me first tell you something, Captain Chen."
Seeing his serious expression, Chen Chuan said, "Teacher Chen, please speak."
Chen Bitong said: "After the barrier isolating the pure essence and is torn open by the fission body, a gap will appear. As long as the gap in the World Ring is not filled, the scope of this gap will gradually expand, and the pure essence will continue to flow outward for a period of time.
The first to be affected are the central city of Jibei Road and the surrounding area, after all, the gap is here.
If Captain Chen's spiritual power is high enough, he will be able to sense the pure essence flowing over. If you react quickly enough, you can take some of it, but if you miss it by accident, you may lose it.
Let me give you an analogy. Pure nature is like a fish swimming in water. You have to find a way to capture it from the turbulent flow.
However, the pure substance will disperse very quickly and will then go to Dashun and various places around the world. During this period, there will be people who will compete with you for it, so if you want to get it, you must act quickly.
After discovering the situation, the central city will definitely try to fill the gap and send people to collect pure energy. If it is delayed for too long, the chances of obtaining pure energy will become smaller.
Therefore, the first period of time is the idle period. At that time, there are almost no people blocking you. You must seize this opportunity.
The amount of pure energy a fighter needs is proportional to their strength. The stronger they are, the more pure energy they need. If they miss out this time, they won't know how long they'll have to wait for more in the future."
His voice deepened. "Signing an agreement with those people is your last resort, but by then you won't have any say in your own decisions."
Chen Chuan thought to himself that Teacher Chen had still reached the limit of a fighter and had not crossed that step. This might be the reason.
This person is not willing to take that step.
At this moment, he felt the strong light around him flicker, and the originally strong airflow seemed to weaken a little.
Chen Bitong took a look and said, "Without the fission body, the rift can no longer support such a large volume. It is now closing on its own. It is closing faster than it is expanding. Captain Chen, remember to get out in time to avoid being trapped here."
As they were talking, the two heard the sound of propeller blades outside gradually moving away, as if the airship had withdrawn.
The two looked at each other and knew that there must be new circumstances.
They stood up from the concrete pillars, walked around the broken biological tissues and the pits on the ground, and came to the edge of the crack.
Standing here and looking out, I saw that the fog on the mountain road had dispersed a lot at this moment, and the figure of the departing airship was clearer.
However, further away, at the original location of the military camp, an even larger airship appeared. On the airbag of the airship, there was a very obvious word "盖", and there were some decorative patterns around the word.
After Chen Bitong saw this word, his expression changed slightly, filled with vigilance and alertness. His body even tensed for a moment. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that I might run into my old rival this time."
Chen Chuan looked at it and asked, "Does that character 'Gai' represent someone?"
Chen Bitong said: "When the old imperial family retreated to the land of harmony, about thirty or so noble families left with them."
These more than 30 families were extremely powerful in the old times, and the Gai family was one of them. The ancestors of the Gai family had served as dukes and marquises, and high-level military generals had emerged in almost every dynasty, and the inheritance was very long.
Chen Chuan nodded unconsciously. This was quite remarkable, as every time a dynasty came and went, the new one would generally inherit many things from the previous one, including scriptures, imperial collections, precious medicinal herbs, and so on. For example, when the Dashun Republic was established, many of the earliest assets were taken from the old imperial family.
These nobles were born and died together with the old imperial family and received rich benefits in the past. Even if they have retreated to the place of integration, they should still retain many of the legacies left by their predecessors.
Chen Bitong said: "In this generation of the Gai family, there is a man named Gai Shuhe, who is a few years younger than me. I have dealt with him many times since I served in the Land of Interfusion and later guarded the World Ring.
We have fought each other more than twenty times, and most of the time the result was a draw. The last time I fought him was seven years ago. I won that time and severely injured him.
I heard that after he returned, he said that if he didn't cultivate and acquire a transcendent skill, he would never appear on the front lines again, and the pattern surrounding the words on this airship is his unique emblem..."
He said seriously, "I think he came here because I showed up here. If that's the case, then he's really sure he can defeat me. Perhaps... he's already mastered the ultimate skill and become a martial artist."
On the opposite side, the airship stopped at the anchor point in the military camp, and the soldiers below were lined up in neat rows.
In front, the remaining military soldiers and military counselors also dismounted from their horses. They took off their helmets and held them in their arms. They all looked serious and nervous, as if they were waiting to welcome someone.
After the ladder was lowered, a figure walked out of the airship. This person had jade-white skin, a high nose, deep eyes, a thin nose bridge, very thin lips, a mustache on his chin, and a deep and sinister look in his brows.
He looked to be in his thirties, with a scar running from his chin to his cheek. He was over two meters tall, with a hairnet on his head and a black and purple martial arts suit embroidered with silver thread.
Behind him followed a woman in her twenties, with bright eyes and white teeth, wearing a waist-cinching martial arts uniform, a high ponytail, and holding a spear backwards. She looked somewhat similar to him.
When the man walked down, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the top of the mountain several kilometers away, then suddenly punched in that direction. When he threw the punch, a faint light emanated from his whole body.
In the crack, Chen Chuan and Chen Bi Tong both felt a warning sign at the same time. Immediately afterwards, the strong airflow in front of them was separated, and it seemed that a strong force was coming towards them.
At this time, Chen Bitong took a step forward and punched forward, with a faint light flashing on his fist.
At the front end of the fist, there was a loud explosion, and the air in the cracks roared and dissipated outwards.
Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly. If he saw correctly, this should be a punch that was delivered through the cracks.
And he seemed to see a pair of sharp eyes in his mind, penetrating the mist and cracks, looking directly at the two of them.
The person who had thrown the punch should still be at the foot of the mountain, yet he was able to transmit his spirit and punching power from such a great distance. This wasn't simply a skill; it also represented a power beyond the limit.
Chen Bitong's expression was extremely solemn. He said, "It seems my worry is true. He can transmit the power of his fist so easily here, which shows that he is already a fighter. He just said hello to me just now.
Captain Chen, we can't just fight head-on."
As he spoke, the bright light in the crack began to shake again and shrank a lot.
He glanced back and said, "Fortunately, the rift is about to close. He can't rush in and do anything alone, and he won't take the risk. This time, he should just be looking for me. Captain Chen, you can go back.
Now it’s my fight.”
