"Yes, we found the ruins of the Di Tu tapir."
Bai Mo briefly explained the concept of star totems, and then asked,
"Does Mr. Han know if there is a similar token somewhere else?"
"Hmm." Han Ji stroked his beard and groaned for a few seconds.
"I'm not sure either. You'd better ask those antique dealers. I'll introduce you to Old Yangtou later."
"But the most important thing now is to help the Western Military. I will take you to find them."
Bai Mo nodded upon hearing this, but did not bring anyone along. After all, the military magician only invited him.
For the sake of efficiency, Lingling, Ding Yumian and others will take another route and head to the Huoyan Mountain in the Taklamakan Desert.
So they only walked together for a while and then parted ways.
The sky and earth in the northwest are so vast that even if you fly in the sky, it seems that there is no end.
The Western Military District mainly developed the area near Tubo. After the troops in the fortress city were driven away by the dust storm grasshoppers, they settled down in Jiuquan Post Station.
This place temporarily serves as a frontline pass for the fortress city army mages to resist the eastward advance of the dust storm grasshoppers.
As expected, after receiving the news, the person standing at the city gate to greet them was Nan Jue.
Bai Mo and Han Ji descended on the blue phoenix that was transformed from the wind spirit.
If the person on Qingluan’s back had not been seen, the entire Jiuquan Pass would probably have been in chaos.
"Lord Jun!!"
When the two of them got closer, the white-faced military commander who was waiting with Nan Jue finally reacted and exclaimed in surprise.
"I was wondering why someone in the Western Military Region would trust me so much. It turns out to be you."
Bai Mo saw Nan Jue, chuckled, and looked her up and down.
She still had that capable and cool neutral beauty, which reminded him of a character in a game in his previous life - Fu Hua.
However, Nanjue was a bit bigger than that game character, with a pair of sharp phoenix eyes that looked like they could electrocute people.
"I've signed a military order this time. If the captain can't handle it, I'll have nowhere to eat."
"And here's the thing, if you don't have a place to eat, you can come to my house."
Bai Mo joked, taking a step forward and pretending to open his arms.
"Long time no see, don't you want a hug?"
"I'll sue you for harassing an officer."
"Tsk, that's boring." Bai Mo took his hand back and raised his chin. "Lead the way. I'll cooperate with you on what you want to do."
Nan Jue nodded slightly and greeted Han Ji again, then heard Han Ji say:
"I am here to act as a middleman. Since you have brought the person here, I still have some official business to attend to, so I will not stay any longer. Please say hello to Chief of Staff Shao for me."
"Take care."
The entire Jiuquan Pass is not very big, and it is completely under militarized management. If hunters want to enter the Taklamakan Desert, they have to go to the other side.
Led by Nan Jue, they walked along the corridor on the city gate to the front city wall.
The city wall was wide, and it was no problem for six cars to run side by side on it. Teams of military magicians in desert camouflage stood on the top of the wall.
"Chief of Staff Shao, Chairman Han Ji has invited people over."
The two came to the center of the city wall, where a female military mage with a stern and solemn demeanor was standing there with a few people. She was talking to another female military mage next to her.
Bai Mo felt that the female military mage had a very similar temperament to Nan Jue, both had that kind of heroic feeling.
Chief of General Staff Shao turned around, with vertical lines between his eyebrows, and looked over with his eyes as vast as the northwest desert.
She looked Bai Mo up and down, then glanced at Nan Jue.
"This is the captain of the Guofu you always talk about. He is indeed good-looking."
"Chief of Staff, this is Jiuquan Pass!"
Nan Jue's expression changed only slightly, and she did not show any embarrassment. Instead, she reminded the chief of staff in front of her.
"I am only reporting to you what I saw and heard during my trip to the government. Please do not misinterpret my words."
"Don't be shy, Xiaonan. This is Jiuquan Pass. I am the boss here. Who dares to control me? I am a military mage. I don't do those empty things."
Staff Officer Shao chuckled, with a heroic spirit, and cast his eyes on Bai Mo, "Bai family boy, what do you think of Nan Jue?"
Bai Mo:?
It's fine if I work for you for free, but you're also trying to use your beauty to tie me up. Can I be tied up so easily?!
"Well, I have several girlfriends."
"How many?! To be honest, one more won't be a big deal."
Bai Mo's mouth twitched. I'm not in love with you, why do you have to interfere? Do you know what fate is?
"Chief Staff Shao, do you have a plan to find the source of the fire on the Holy Mountain of Fire Element that the Duststorm Grasshoppers fear?"
"As expected, he is someone that the higher-ups have chosen. He has great authority and he pressured me with tasks as soon as he arrived."
Staff Officer Shao curled his lips, but his expression was extremely serious and his tone was forceful.
“We are always trying to take back what we have lost, and we have many plans, but it all depends on your ability!
How many people can you bring into the sonic tremors of the Dust Devil Grasshopper, and how long can you last? "
"If you can't even protect your ability to cast magic under the vibration, then there's no need to ask about the plan."
Bai Mo nodded slightly, not caring about her doubts.
As the commander of a military magician unit, every decision he makes is related to the life and death of his subordinates and cannot be ignored.
"I am a super-class sound mage, and my spiritual realm is level seven. No matter how much I say, it is not as good as the facts. Where is the Dust Storm Devil Grasshopper? I can go and meet them, and Chief of Staff Shao can be a witness."
"Of course I want to see for myself what you are capable of. Not only that, I will join you."
"good."
Bai Mo naturally had no objection to the decision made by the staff officer Shao. Jiuquan was still far away from the place where the dust storm devil grasshopper was rampant.
The Tarim Fortress City was originally built between Milan and Ruoqiang areas, adjacent to Lop Nur and the Altun Mountains.
It is said that it is to prevent the Dust Storm Grasshopper from moving eastward. In fact, after the Dust Storm Grasshopper occupied that area, it was only expanding at a slow pace and had no intention of moving eastward.
It was just to test Bai Mo's strength, so Chief of Staff Shao didn't bring many people with him.
With her were two other staff officers, Li Man, and Nan Jue, making a total of four people.
After leaving the Hexi Corridor, head slightly southwest and say goodbye to the Qilian Mountains that have always been with us.
While still in the sky, Bai Mo had already seen the dark sky at the horizon.
Each of the gray-yellow dust storm grasshoppers is as big as a heavy motorcycle. They fly in the sky. From a distance, they look like a large cloud of dust and fog that spreads towards the sky, completely covering the distant sky.
When they were still ten kilometers away, Bai Mo signaled Feng Ling to land, as the area near Tarim was not suitable for flying.
Not only are there continuous demon mountains, but the demons in Lop Nur and other deserts are also not underestimated.
Powerful demons definitely have no lack of anti-aircraft attack capabilities!
Buzz buzz buzz!!!
The crowd was speeding along the ground, leaving behind the vast plains around them. The huge buzzing sounds were getting closer and louder.
Gradually, a shocking feeling came from the front. Everyone stopped on a high slope and looked forward.
I saw dense swarms of dust storm grasshoppers filling the space between heaven and earth.
They fly in the air in large groups or lie on the ground, like a piece of gauze hanging from the sky.
Each of them is very big, and their bodies seem to be made of sand and gravel. The wings behind them tremble like swords, the fangs on their heads are like axes that can break rocks, the tentacles are stretched out like steel spears, and their blurred eyes scan the hazy soul light of the corpses and demons.
Wild grasses and trees, strange rocks and mountains, or roadside huts, all disappeared after these dust storm grasshoppers raged through the area.
It was as if the endless desolation, vastness and grandeur of the northwest were all eaten away by these dust storm grasshoppers.
Looking at the endless dust storm grasshoppers, it is as if you are standing on the endless seashore, feeling powerless in the face of nature.
It is hard to imagine how the Western Military District, which has been against them all along, could have gained the upper hand when they did not have the ability to gain immunity to fire.
"Are you ready? Let's go."
Staff Officer Shao's words interrupted Bai Mo's thoughts, and she watched everything with an expressionless face.
They have withdrawn from this area for some time. I am afraid that the town built around the Tarim Fortress City has long been eaten up by these things.
With nothing to eat, these dust storm grasshoppers, which are more ferocious and ruthless than sandstorms, will sooner or later move eastward and target the lush greenery in the east.
"Okay, I was just thinking that it's not easy for you to survive among such a group of monsters."
"Oh, everyone has some persistence. Expanding the territory and expelling the demons is what we want."
Staff Officer Shao spoke calmly, with no intention of talking about these things. The ground waves beneath his feet surged, and he was already carrying Bai Mo towards the group of dust storm grasshoppers.
Nan Jue and the other three just stood there. They were there to test how many people Bai Mo could bring with him.
It is also to ensure that if Bai Mo is of no use, they can take action at the critical moment and rescue them.
Bai Mo didn't expect that Chief of Staff Shao would be so impatient, but he didn't need to prepare.
This isn't the first time he's done something like this.
This time, there are just more opponents and they are a little bigger.
Seeing that the power of the sound became stronger as the distance got closer, and was gradually able to shake Staff Officer Shao's magic, Bai Mo took action immediately.
"Silent Sound Domain!"
As his fingers fiddled, sound waves flowed out, building a sound-isolating area around the two of them.
The majestic sound vibration force that was originally going to stir up the wind and rain in the spiritual world also disappeared immediately.
“Okay, Nanjue can do this distance, but it’s not enough. Let’s keep going.”
As Staff Officer Shao spoke, the ground waves carrying the two of them continued to move under his feet.
Although her face was calm, her heart was already at peace. Because at this distance, Nan Jue would need to use all her strength to do it.
Looking at Bai Mo beside him, he just moved his fingers.
There was no large fluctuation of magical energy, and his expression did not change at all due to resisting the sound vibration.
Puff puff!
Puff puff puff!
The sound of rapid and dense flapping wings was heard, and a large group of dust storm grasshoppers flew towards the two.
Obviously, they discovered Bai Mo and the other two approaching. A huge number of dust storm grasshoppers moved together, forming a sandstorm that covered the entire sky and earth, sweeping over violently!
"Be prepared. If you can't hold on any longer, speak up at any time."
Staff Officer Shao stopped immediately, his tone extremely serious, his eyes fixed on the natural disaster-like dust storm grasshopper in front of him, ready to take Bai Mo away at any time.
"Don't worry, it's not hard."
As Bai Mo spoke, the vibrating strings became more violent, constantly strengthening the power of the sound system, and the magic power output also increased synchronously.
In his opinion, the interference effect produced by the sound vibrations of these dust storm grasshoppers is the effect of achieving qualitative change from quantitative change by relying on the power of numbers.
But in fact, their qualitative change has not become that strong, and these interfering sound waves are still a mess.
It is like countless water drops merging into a river. For ordinary mages, this spiritual impact of the river is enough to drown the "clay Buddhas" in the river.
But Bai Mo is different. Not only has his spiritual realm reached a high level, but his application of sound is also in a different dimension from that of the Dust Storm Grasshopper.
How can these river waters break down the thousand-year-old stubborn rocks?
However, Staff Officer Shao didn't know this, as too many of their military mages had died at the hands of the Dust Storm Grasshoppers.
Her hatred for the Dust Storm Grasshopper was real, and her fear was not false. She was still tense and extremely careful.
And when a large group of dust storm grasshoppers completely surrounded them, in the endless buzzing, she still did not feel the tremendous sound vibration force that hit her spirit like a tsunami, and an uncontrollable surprise appeared in the eyes of Staff Officer Shao.
At this moment, countless dust storm grasshoppers rushed towards them from all directions, from the sky, on the ground, and throughout the entire space.
The flapping sound of the wings was so harsh to her ears!
The joy in Staff Officer Shao's eyes instantly turned into earth-shattering rage and resentment.
In the past, if I wanted to kill these things to vent my anger, I could only stand far away and they would easily evade me.
This time, she wants to see where these things can run!
Sizzle! !
A dazzling purple lightning spread out from her body, like a shield formed by linked chains, wrapping the two of them.
All the dust storm grasshoppers that rushed over at the first moment were instantly turned into a handful of ashes under the purple lightning chain ball net.
Then, a mighty thunder element gathered from dozens of kilometers around. Lightning flashed brightly on Staff Officer Shao and on the purple lightning ball net that protected them.
"The punishment of the thunder ring - the map of the annihilation of heaven and earth!"
With a loud bang, a thick white pillar of thunder burst out from her body, rushing up, annihilating all the dust storm grasshoppers along the way, connecting to the clouds above, and making a violent thunder, like the awakening cry of a giant dragon.
In the lightning, the figure of Staff Officer Shao stood proudly, as if she was a goddess of thunder, controlling all the destruction in the world.
The lightning pillars dyed the sky purple, and the running lightning seemed like swimming dragons, outlining the thousand-meter sky into a terrifying state of destruction.
And above the ground, mighty thunder and lightning rushed out from under Staff Officer Shao's feet like a great river, spreading in all directions, dispersing and twisting into countless small streams, and then intersecting and converging with each other, weaving a huge thunder and lightning net on the ground!
The whole sky and earth turned into a land of thunder, and thunder birds appeared in this world of thunder.
Sixteen thunderbirds appeared from sixteen directions with great momentum, carrying the most powerful destructive lightning all over their bodies!
The Thunderbird opened its wings, and immediately its long feathers spread out like small boats floating in the sky.
The wings connected to each other, and the boat suddenly exploded, creating a terrifying thunderstorm!
The thunderstorm exploded, and chains of lightning connected into a lightning net, which was arranged layer by layer in the air, completely isolating the thousand-meter sky and earth in a thunder field.
There were constant rumbling and sizzling sounds, all of which were the sounds of the dust storm grasshoppers being pierced by lightning and struck by the thunder.
The map of heaven and earth annihilated slowly shrank, and the dust storm grasshoppers trapped in this thousand-meter world became restless. They made uneasy sounds, but they had nowhere to hide.
In the thunder domain where lightning was everywhere, they fell like dust, and no matter how they struggled, it was useless.
As Bai Mo watched this scene, he actually felt a sense of pleasure as if he was using an electric mosquito swatter to swatter a mosquito nest.
As the Heaven and Earth Annihilation Map completely shrank, all the dust storm grasshoppers in the map were quickly swept away.
Bai Mo obtained more than a thousand residual souls of demons for free.
The sudden vacancy of a thousand meters of land did not seem to be a big deal for the endless dust storm grasshoppers.
They came from all directions like a flood. Bai Mo looked at Staff Officer Shao, signaling her whether she wanted to continue.
After venting his rage, Staff Officer Shao calmed down a little and said immediately:
"Let's leave here and try with two more people."
"good."
Bai Mo naturally had no objection. He raised his hand and diamond dust scattered everywhere. They also appeared where Nan Jue and others were observing.
When they saw Chief of Staff Shao performing super-class magic while surrounded by dust storm grasshoppers, they knew they had succeeded.
Bai Mo's sound magic can indeed block the sonic vibrations of these dust storm grasshoppers.
"According to our plan, if we want to go to the Holy Mountain of Fire Element to obtain the special fire source, we need to bring at least two people, a technician and a guardian mage."
After seeing Bai Mo's strength, Staff Officer Shao naturally began to lay out their plan.
"Estimate for yourself how many people you can carry with the intensity you just had, or an even higher intensity than just now."
"A lot, maybe dozens at most."
Bai Mo groaned. In fact, he felt that protecting a hundred people from harassment was not a problem, but that was too shocking, and his mental strength would not be able to bear it for a long time.
Then he said:
"But the journey from here to the Holy Mountain of Fire Element is long. I suggest that we keep the number of people at around ten. We can protect you on your way back and forth, and even fight and cast magic."
Blocking the sound tremors is one thing, but walking in the sound tremors is equivalent to walking directly among the tribes of dust storm grasshoppers. It is impossible to expect these monsters that can eat anything not to eat you, so fighting is inevitable.
After hearing his words, Staff Officer Shao, Li Man and others all frowned slightly, wondering if Bai Mo had overestimated themselves.
All I heard was Staff Officer Shao say, "Nanjue, come with me and him into the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper."
After saying that, she hurriedly pulled Nan Jue and Bai Mo and plunged into the misty swarm of insects again.
This time, Bai Mo and two beautiful military mages stayed in the dust storm grasshopper group for a long time.
One of the many questions he was asked was, Are you okay?
What's the problem? He felt something was wrong with them.
What's good or bad? He has the reserves of three star seas and three galaxies, plus the spring land.
He is no longer the little wizard who ran out of energy in a minute when he just reached the intermediate level.
When it comes to endurance, these two women can’t do it even if they die of exhaustion.
In short, because Chief of Staff Shao and Nan Jue did not have enough magic energy, they came out from the dust storm magic grasshoppers.
"Well, you are indeed a monster, but it's a pity that you can't do two things at once. Otherwise, we could have fewer fighters and more miners, and we could bring back more fire sources."
Staff Officer Shao sat on the ground in an ungraceful manner and said to Bai Mo.
Bai Mo spread his hands. He had no other choice, not that he couldn't do anything.
It can also help in the gaps in the sound defense structure, and in that case, some unpredictable accidents may occur.
In short, in the opinion of Chief of Staff Shao, the foreign aid he invited here should be a magic weapon man, who is only responsible for the function of protecting the sound vibration.
"Don't worry, sister. As long as we can ensure that we are not affected by the sound vibration, you and I can protect about ten people to the Holy Mountain of Fire Element." Li Man said.
"It's not safe after all." Staff Officer Shao did not agree. The further inland they went, the more dust storm grasshoppers there would be.
When the number reaches a certain level, even super-level magic will not have the best effect.
What's more, these dust storm grasshoppers are not afraid of life or death, and they cannot be scared away.
"As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Has Chief of Staff Shao ever thought about finding the king of the Dust Storm Grasshopper?" Bai Mo said.
"There is no obvious difference between the levels of Dust Devil Grasshoppers. They all look almost the same."
Staff Officer Shao pointed at the dust storm grasshoppers still raging in the distance and asked, "Do you think it's easy to find?"
"Even if the emperor is killed, they will not kill each other, but will follow their instincts and plunder food everywhere."
Nan Jue added at this moment,
"This kind of demon is different from the demon wolves and feather demons in the inland. They have no leader and can also bring great disasters."
Having said that, she thought for a moment, looked at Staff Officer Shao, and said,
"Chief of Staff, I remember that the commander of the Jade Dragon Army had a magic weapon that could help people do two things at once."
"Good fellow, Xiaonan, are you planning to take advantage of your father too?"
Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Shao immediately understood who it was and couldn't help laughing.
"The Jade Dragon Army stands for 'Reporting Your Majesty's Will on the Golden Stage, and Supporting the Jade Dragons to Die for You'. Now the Western Army Mages are unable to move forward due to the special coercion of the demons. As the face of our Western Military Region, the Jade Dragon Army naturally has to show some attitude."
Nan Jue said righteously, his eyes bright, not feeling at all that that was his father.
"Besides, we just took it and used it for a while, we didn't ask for his help."
Bai Mo blinked, wondering if this was inappropriate.
The Yulong Army is at the same level as the Forbidden Army of the Central Military Region.
This is a special military magician unit, which is located in the five military regions of East, West, South, North and Center.
Is it so easy to borrow something like this from the leader of an army?
But then I heard Staff Officer Shao say, "That's right. I'll go find him when I get back. You come with me."
Hearing this, Nan Jue’s expression remained unchanged.
Now that everyone knew Bai Mo's abilities, they did not waste time and rushed back to Jiuquan Pass.
After returning to Jiuquan Pass, Bai Mo found his own residence under the guidance of Nan Jue, and the entire Jiuquan Pass also took action at this moment.
All of these are preparations for going to the Holy Mountain of Fire Element to obtain the fire source.
Chief of Staff Shao brought people to borrow things and people.
We have to escort a team of professional miners through the endless dust storms and grasshoppers to the Holy Mountain of Fire Element, and we cannot be careless.
Those miners are also valuable researchers, and no mistakes can be made.
As for counting on these people to fight, that is even more unrealistic. (End of this chapter)
