Chapter 119: Traces of the Desolate Sect?
On the other side, Yu Cang and his companions quickly left the battlefield.
On the way, Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang and said with some concern: "Jie Shuang...Auntie, is she okay?"
"Don't worry, boss." Gu Jieshuang looked very calm. "As long as it's not a myth, there will be no problem."
"...So Auntie is so strong."
Yu Cang felt even more guilty.
Soon, they arrived at the edge of the continent. After meeting up with Lin Yunqing and Jiang Ya, they flew towards the entrance of the space channel in the sky.
At this time, Wan Quan frowned slightly.
He saw that near the entrance, the soldiers of the second company were gathered there, each looking for a floating boulder with enough area to land on, and keeping alert to the surroundings.
"What are you gathering here for? Didn't I tell you to get out?"
"Captain." Fang Pei stepped forward. "For some reason, the space channel has been sealed... Now there's no way out."
Wan Quan frowned even more tightly. He didn't say anything. After putting Yu Cang and the others on a huge rock, he quickly came to the space channel.
They saw that the originally rhythmic cluster of light prisms had now solidified, and the light and shadows in it seemed to have suddenly moved a lot farther away from them, as if there was an extra layer of thick glass in the middle.
Wan Quan tentatively placed his hand on the passage, but only touched a crystal-like structure and was unable to pass through.
"Unable to pass...was it that wild beast's fault?" Wan Quan seemed to suddenly understand why the wild beast in the wild crystal was not in a hurry to chase them.
They are trapped here and dying.
I don't know how strong this space wall is, but even if it is not strong, Wan Quan doesn't dare to force it open. After all, this is a fragile space channel. If the channel is accidentally shattered, he will never be able to get out.
Yu Cang obviously realized this, but he had no other choice but to look at the countdown on the entry recorder and silently activate resonance to make the countdown go faster.
On the side, Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses, took out a small notebook and started writing.
"Knowledge related to space channels, join the learning plan."
Suddenly, Yu Cang seemed to notice something and turned his head to look. He saw that the thunder-like beam of light in the sky was suddenly broken, crossed the sky and gathered towards a certain place.
"Have you started fighting yet..."
Before Yu Cang could worry for too long, the lightning suddenly disappeared, and the sudden splash of frost made Yu Cang feel a lot more at ease.
It seems that my aunt has the upper hand.
Until now, Yu Cang still hasn't figured out how the wild beast appeared.
The military has a special device for detecting wild beasts. Before pressurizing the huge wild crystal, they had clearly explored the entire surrounding area, so there shouldn't be any wild beasts.
However, this wild beast appeared so suddenly... After it appeared, the military instruments reached their limit and exploded on the spot.
So, theoretically speaking, it should have suddenly appeared in the wild crystal from somewhere else, but doesn’t it mean that this space channel cannot support the passage of the legendary wild beast?
Moreover, the hand that stretched out the wild crystal... was clearly a human hand.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned to the retreating Wan Quan and asked, "Captain Wan, can wild beasts from other places also speak human language?"
"Huh?" Wan Quan was stunned. "Human language... intelligent wild beasts have the intelligence to learn human language, but most of them just simply imitate. Wild beasts are very sensitive to human emotional changes, so they can easily decipher the meaning of short sentences and phrases. However, if you want to communicate with them, forget it. Their vocabulary is pitifully small, and they have no desire to communicate at all."
"so……"
Yu Cang fell into deep thought.
But he always felt something was wrong.
"roar!"
A loud roar interrupted Yu Cang's thoughts. He quickly raised his head and saw a giant dragon's head sticking out from the space channel in the sky. It bit down with unstoppable momentum, but was knocked away by a huge ice monument rising from the ground.
"Is this... a legacy?" Yu Cang raised his eyebrows.
He was just thinking that the legendary beast would not be able to pass through the space channel, when a legendary beast came out and slapped him in the face.
"Brother." Qi'er held Yu Cang's hand, "Do you need Qi'er's strength? Qi'er is fine..."
"It's okay, don't worry." Yu Cang touched Qi'er's little head.
Even from such a long distance, the power of this head still made everyone present hold their breath.
Because it is really too big. The floating giant island next to it looks only a dozen times larger than it. If the body of this head emerges from the passage, it may be the same size as the giant island.
However, the head did not remain majestic for long. Everyone saw a blizzard sweeping up, followed by a sword beam that fell, and the head quickly retreated with a wound that almost split it in half.
Yu Cang couldn't help but hiss.
This, only one sword was used...
For some reason, he felt even more guilty when he thought that such a powerful being was Gu Jieshuang's mother.
Well... when she finds out that Jie Shuang is going to the real dragon's death place with me, she won't think that I abducted her away... My small body can't withstand that sword!
At this moment, a line of words suddenly flashed across the entry recorder.
The entry extraction is complete, and the epic entry is obtained: [Space Fragment], the rare entry is: [Channel], and the common entry is: [Cloud]
This batch of entries looks good.
Yu Cang touched his trouser pocket.
It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a blank soul card, otherwise, maybe I could try to create a soul card that can open a space channel.
Or... try implanting other soul cards?
Yu Cang was hesitant when Fang Pei suddenly said, "Captain, the space channel seems to have returned to normal."
"Um?"
Yu Cang looked towards the passage and found that, as expected, a layer of crystal structure near the entrance had disappeared. It looked like it could be passed through normally.
He understood it clearly.
It seems that the winner has been decided.
…
Everyone then left the alien space fragment through the space channel. Not long after, Gu Zhihan also walked out.
Yu Cang didn't even see any stains on her clothes. It seemed that she had done the battle effortlessly.
Seeing this, Gu Jieshuang, who had always been very confident, also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only at this time that Yu Cang discovered that the sword in Gu Zhihan's hand was actually a real sword, not an equipment card summoned by the soul card.
"Major General!" Wan Quan came up to Gu Zhihan and saluted. "I have reported the situation in the space debris to the military district. Please give me your instructions."
"...I've already retired, so don't call me Major General." Gu Zhihan said, "From now on, just follow the command of the military district... I'll take those guys over there back with me first, okay?"
"yes!"
Seeing Gu Zhihan looking at him, Yu Cang smiled awkwardly.
She came to Yu Cang with a sword in hand, and seemed to smile, which pulled the wrinkles on her face. "You are quite capable."
"No... I just made a few soul cards. I'm far inferior to you."
"That's not the skill I'm talking about."
"Ah?" Yu Cang was stunned.
"I've been observing you since you left Wuling Village. What kind of person could make Jie Shuang so..."
"Mom!" Gu Jieshuang ran over and hugged Gu Zhihan's arm. "How are you? Didn't the doctor say that you can't use the soul card anymore..."
"...It's just some stretching, nothing serious."
"That's also very dangerous... Mom, last time the doctor said which prescription can dispel the cold? Do we have enough herbs at home? How about I go to the pharmacy and get some..."
Gu Zhihan looked at Gu Jieshuang who didn't dare to look him in the eye and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, stop pretending and go back to the village first."
"good……"
Gu Zhihan looked at the others and said, "Let's go. Come back with me first. With such an incident in the space debris, the soldiers will definitely not be able to take care of you."
"Okay, Auntie." Yu Cang blinked and nodded obediently, without showing any sign of arrogance in front of Ren Zheng.
On the side, Jiang Ya couldn't help but hold her forehead.
Damn... It seems like even Gu Jieshuang's mother has accepted Yu Cang!
Is her last road blocked like this...?
Damn it!
After returning to Wuling Village, Yu Cang immediately activated the entry recorder for the village.
There is also a six-hour countdown. It will definitely be enough to extract it tonight.
In the evening, Gu's mother went to prepare meals. Yu Cang wanted to help, but was directly chased out of the kitchen by her.
Looking at the somewhat depressed Yu Cang, Gu Jieshuang smiled secretly, then tugged at the corner of Yu Cang's clothes: "Okay... Let's go to the living room and chat~"
The two returned to the living room, where Qi'er was sitting on the sofa, watching TV intently. However, judging from the way she glanced over from time to time, she was obviously paying attention to something more interesting than TV.
Lin Yunqing went back to the room to organize the data collected today. Jiang Ya didn't want to see Yu Cang and the others suffer, so she went shopping in the village alone.
"By the way," Yu Cang was a little curious, "What level of soul card master is Auntie?"
"It's level seven."
"Level seven?" Yu Cang was surprised. "But I saw that the last wild beast that appeared in the space fragment should be a high-level legendary beast. Can a level seven soul card master repel it with one sword?"
A level seven soul card master can summon ordinary legendary creatures normally, and can summon high-level legendary creatures at a higher level. Theoretically speaking, there should not be such oppression when facing high-level legendary creatures.
"Mother has only been stuck at level seven due to physical reasons," Gu Jieshuang sighed. "With Mother's strength, she could have reached a higher level long ago. But the doctor said that if she broke through to level eight, the blood conflict within her body might no longer be suppressed... But in reality, Mother's actual combat power cannot be measured by ordinary levels."
"So that's how it is..." Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang's somewhat gloomy expression and fell silent.
After a moment, he held Gu Jieshuang's hand and said, "I will find a treatment as soon as possible."
"Okay... I understand." Gu Jieshuang did not pull her hand away, but just looked towards the stairs to the second floor with a flushed face, as if she was afraid that someone would suddenly appear.
Suddenly, Yu Cang's expression changed, and then he said in surprise: "Ye Lai, you are back?"
Just as he finished speaking, a soul card suddenly opened on the coffee table, and Ye Lai walked out of it, looking at Yu Cang with a smile in his eyes: "Master of this body, I am glad to see that you are safe and sound."
Yu Cang hugged Ye Lai into his arms and rubbed his little head with his face bag: "Ye Lai, you saved my life again... How are you? Are you feeling any discomfort now?"
Ye Lai was rubbed by Yu Cang so hard that he could only close one eye gently. He retracted his claws and tried his best to soften the thorns on his body, with a faint smile on his face.
"It was just an ordinary death in battle. I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
On the other side, the warmth of Yu Cang's palm still remained on Gu Jieshuang's left hand. She looked at Yu Cang who had completely thrown her aside and couldn't help but curl her lips.
Tsk, can’t you hold it for a while longer...
However, the depressed expression only flashed by, and Gu Jieshuang soon smiled.
She was also very happy to see Ye Lai return safely. After all, Ye Lai had saved her life.
"Oh, Ye Lai." Yu Cang's expression suddenly grew serious. "How did you learn the language of our Yan Nation back in the Snow Mountain?"
"Language... When I responded to your call, I gained the ability to communicate with you. After you gave me your true name, I was able to master your language."
"In other words, is it some kind of power similar to a contract..." Yu Cang fell into thought.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jieshuang asked curiously.
"Hmm... Captain Wan said that intelligent wild beasts can simply imitate human language and utter a few words, but... that sac beast priest doesn't seem to be the case." Yu Cang rubbed his chin. "Remember, during the battle, although the priest mostly repeated emotional words like 'die,' he also uttered very complex original phrases like 'Drowning in Hell'... It doesn't seem like this language ability was acquired through imitation."
Behind him, Qi'er used his hands and feet to climb over the back of the sofa, found the right position, and slid from the back to between Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang.
Yu Cang subconsciously wanted to move to the side to make room for Qi'er, but was stopped by the girl.
She was seen holding Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang's arms at the same time, making a "nest" for herself, then lying comfortably in their arms, and turning her gaze back to the TV.
Yu Cang was thinking about something, so he didn't care. Seeing that Qi'er was happy with it, he cooperated and moved closer to Gu Jieshuang to make the girl more comfortable.
Gu Jieshuang blushed.
She was originally sitting on the edge of the sofa's armrest, and when Yu Cang pushed in, her whole body was immediately trapped.
Yu Cang didn't notice anything unusual and continued, "This language ability... is more likely acquired through a contract like Ye Lai, or... someone taught it the language of Yan Nation!"
"Teach wild beasts their language?" Gu Jieshuang's attention was drawn to him. "Who would do that?"
"...Of course it's the Desolate Sect." Yu Cang saw that Gu Jieshuang looked a little bewildered, so he repeated what Ren Zheng had told her. "...The old man and his men have been searching for the Desolate Sect for a few days now. However, let alone catching this organization, they haven't even made any progress with the Far Desolate Club. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be happening in the current Yan Country..."
Gu Jieshuang seemed to understand Yu Cang's intentions. She asked tentatively, "Control the desolate beasts?... So you suspect that the Desolate Sect is hiding in the Desolate Heavenly Realm?"
"I think it's very likely." Yu Cang gently rubbed Qi'er's little head. "Remember what Captain Wan said? The passages between the space fragments are very fragile. If a Legendary-level creature walked through them, the energy it carried would cause the passages to collapse... But that dragon beast today fought directly in the passage for such a long time, and only after it left did the passage disappear."
Gu Jieshuang frowned slightly: "It's indeed a bit of a coincidence..."
"This is definitely not a coincidence. The desolate beast dared to fight across the space channel, which means it's not afraid of the channel collapsing. Therefore, this desolate beast, or the person behind it, must have the ability to control the space channel to a certain extent." Yu Cang said firmly, "Captain Wan said that the military doesn't go deep into the Desolate Heaven Realm because the space channel is too unstable. Shuttled through the various space fragments would put the soldiers' lives at risk. Once the Desolate Sect mastered this ability, coupled with the ability to control desolate beasts... then they would have the possibility of living in the Desolate Heaven Realm for a long time!"
"That's right..." Gu Jieshuang slapped his thigh, "So, the headquarters of this Desolate Sect must be in the Netherworld Heaven!... Hiss, so, this organization that once destroyed an entire country has been able to develop for so many years in a world full of desolate beasts. Once they are reborn..."
Gu Jieshuang felt a chill rushing to his head for a moment.
The space fragments of the Youhuang Heaven Realm are everywhere in the territory of Yan Country, but this is only a small part of all the space fragments. There are more fragments hidden in the deep space that is not in direct contact with the Blue Star plane, and can only be reached through the fragile channels between the space fragments.
If the Desolate Sect suddenly wants to bring out the desolate beasts one day... then judging by the number of fragments within the territory of Yan Country, this will undoubtedly be a disaster!
It is impossible for Yan Country to keep an eye on so many fragmented channels at the same time!
"...We have to tell the old man." Yu Cang rubbed his brows.
The threat posed by this desolate sect...is probably even greater than Ren Zheng and the others estimated.
Combined with the information provided by the old man before, the main body of the Youhuang Heaven Realm seems to be suppressed in the real dragon's death zone, so... the conspiracy that this organization is planning seems to have revealed its outline.
"There is still one doubt."
"What is it?"
"It's the Desolate Crystal... This Desolate Crystal seems to be very important to them. I just slightly increased the pressure on it, and the black shadow suddenly appeared... I don't know if anyone has seen this black shadow before."
Gu Jieshuang covered her mouth with her fingers and thought for a moment: "I remember that shadow said something... We stole its food? It feeds on wild crystals?"
"...This might just be a metaphor." Yu Cang glanced at Gu Jieshuang with a smile. "Perhaps it means that the energy in the Desolate Crystal is very important to it? I've seen it easily control the Desolate Crystal. Perhaps its abilities are powered by the Desolate Crystal... Or even, the secret of the Desolate Sect's control over Desolate Beasts might be contained in the Desolate Crystal?"
