Chapter 63: Red Shadow Legion 3
Zhao Ke's shout was urgent and loud, and it was like a bomb exploding on the training ground.
The sentries who were originally buzzing about what happened to Zhao Ke fell silent in an instant. Dozens of eyes were fixed on Lin Yao, and the curiosity in their eyes was instantly replaced by shock.
Just now I thought this new recruit was quite brave, daring to look into the eyes of Huang Yu's Viper. He was indeed the material to join their Red Shadow.
Now that they knew he was a guide, everyone was shocked. How could a guide remain so calm when seeing a cold-blooded spirit?
Lin Yao looked at Zhao Ke, who was pointing at him with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Look at that face again, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and strong features. Isn't he the sentry who followed Instructor Sun to send me to the dormitory?
"So it's you." Lin Yao reacted, waved at him, and greeted him naturally, "Thank you for lunch."
There was even a faint smile on his face, and when his eyes swept over the blue-gray Komodo dragon beside Zhao Ke, he only took a few more glances.
There wasn't a trace of fear in his eyes; instead, it looked as if he was admiring some unique creature.
At this moment, the training ground was so quiet that you could hear breathing.
The sentries looked at each other with their mouths wide open.
Huang Yu stopped playing with the things in his hand. He looked down at the viper on his arm that was still staring at Lin Yao, then looked up at Lin Yao's calm face.
My head was buzzing, this is the guide!
It was the legendary new guide who ran out of breath and was sent back to the dormitory by Instructor Sun!
How could he... How dare he tell him that the flame was very special, and even greeted Zhao Ke and Xiao Mo with a smile?
Qian Bin stood next to Zhao Ke. The rattlesnake on his arm seemed to have sensed his owner's shock. Its tail, which had been slightly raised, slowly flattened, but it still held its head high vigilantly.
He remembered that the last time the guide who had been transferred away saw his spiritual body, his face turned as pale as paper and he almost tripped when he stepped back. Looking at the person in front of him, it was like he was a completely different species.
"You, you, you..." Zhao Ke pointed at Lin Yao, and was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly. He forgot the pain from being thrown over his shoulder just now.
"Why are you here? Aren't you resting in the dormitory?"
This is also the reason why they are fighting in pairs now, because they have made up their minds to keep their spiritual bodies hidden in the future.
And because Zhao Ke said that the new guide was so tired, he must be resting now, so everyone finally let loose.
Who would have thought that the guide they were so wary of would just watch their fight so calmly.
As Zhao Ke spoke, he subconsciously moved to the side, as if he wanted to hide his Komodo dragon behind him.
But he forgot how old Xiao Mo was, and that couldn't be hidden.
Lin Yao was a little confused by his question, but he still thought Zhao Ke was concerned about him:
"I rested for a while, recovered, and then went to report. After I finished, I followed the sign and walked here. I heard it was quite lively here, so I came in to take a look."
He paused and pointed towards the field, "Your training is quite interesting."
"Interesting?" Zhao Ke's eyes widened even more. He wondered if he had gone crazy from the fall.
"Don't you think... they are..." He pointed at the Komodo dragon, then at Qian Bin's rattlesnake, "scary?"
Lin Yao finally understood why they reacted so strongly. He smiled and glanced at the two in the field.
Finally, his gaze fell on the sentry beside him, the viper with the red V-shaped pattern on its back. "Fortunately, they all look quite capable of fighting."
Especially Huang Yu's viper, the red patterns look like burning fireworks under the light, revealing a wild beauty.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding sentries collectively gasped.
When had these cold-blooded spirits ever received such an evaluation from a guide they had just met?
Huang Yu's viper seemed to understand the compliment. It shook its tail slightly and moved closer to Lin Yao.
Huang Yu quickly pulled it back, his heart pounding. Oh my goodness! Don't scare me!
Lin Yao didn't care at all. He looked at Zhao Ke and the others and asked, "Aren't you going to fight anymore?"
After Lin Yao finished asking, Zhao Ke and Qian Bin were about to respond when a voice rang out from the sidelines:
"Next group, Xiaolei and Xiaoma, go ahead!"
The two young sentries immediately stepped out and walked to the center of the venue.
Xiaolei's spirit body is a Nile crocodile, its carapace glowing coldly under the light; Xiaoma's is a saltwater crocodile, its claws making scratching sounds on the ground.
As the two men took up their stances, they were obviously a little reserved. It was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the shock of their guide watching them.
"Fight! Why are you standing there?" Zhao Ke had already walked out and shouted from outside the energy network. Xiao Mo also growled, as if urging them to do so.
Zhang Lei and Xiao Ma then started fighting, but there was obvious hesitation in their moves, their punches were weak, and even their spirit bodies just shook their heads symbolically.
Zhao Ke also noticed their discomfort, so he walked over and stood two meters away from Lin Yao and talked to him.
Xiao Mo was quite enthusiastic and moved much closer to Lin Yao. He raised his head and tilted it to look at him. After Lin Yao finished talking to Zhao Ke, he raised his chin at Xiao Mo.
"May I have your name?"
Lin Yao's gaze fell on the Komodo dragon that tilted its head to look at him, its scales glowing bluish-gray under the light.
His eyes were not as fierce as they had been during the battle just now, but instead revealed a bit of naive curiosity.
Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was asking his spiritual body.
He scratched the back of his head and smiled a little sheepishly: "It's called Xiao Mo, just... a random name."
In the Red Shadow Legion, sentinels mostly name spirits to save trouble.
Especially this kind of ferocious cold-blooded animal, there are many people named "Xiao Mo", "Lao Hei" and "Ah Hong".
Lin Yao thought the name was quite catchy. He looked into Xiao Mo's dark eyes and said sincerely, "Xiao Mo, nice to meet you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mo suddenly let out a low cry and moved his head towards him again, with the tip of his nose almost touching Lin Yao's calf.
Zhao Ke was watching from the side with his eyes wide open.
Lin Yao was amused by Xiao Mo's reaction. Shasha came out of his sleeve and the vines hung above Xiao Mo's head.
The ice-blue energy fell on Xiao Mo's scales and instantly turned into a slightly cool halo.
Xiao Mo squinted his eyes comfortably, a deeper sound came out of his throat, and he rubbed his head in the halo. The originally slightly tense neck line completely relaxed.
Zhao Ke's eyes widened even more. This man was actually a plant guide, and he was very capable. He could also feel that Xiao Mo was being guided.
Zhao Ke kept saying in his mind over and over again, what bad luck Chi Ying had.
The killing vines swayed gently, casting another icy blue light.
This time, not only Xiao Mo, but even Qian Bin's rattlesnake not far away raised its head, gently spitting out its tongue in the direction of the energy, and its originally tense body also relaxed a little.
"Your spiritual body is really powerful." Zhao Ke admired sincerely.
Seeing Xiao Mo so comfortable that he almost fell to the ground, the last remaining worry in my heart disappeared.
Lin Yao smiled and didn't say much.
He stayed at the training ground for nearly two hours.
This group of sentinels went from being cautious at first to completely relaxing later. They also knew very well that Lin Yao was really not afraid.
Not only were they not afraid, they even dared to get close to the energy net and carefully watched each group's moves against the sentinels, as if they wanted to learn them all.
Their eyes were all sparkling, especially when there was a group of octopuses fighting against great white sharks. Lin Yao's eyes were full of thoughts: I want to see how these two marine animals fight on land.
Of course, Lin Yao didn't watch in vain. Sometimes when he saw someone exhausted too much mental energy in a fight, or was too excited, he would let Shasha release the energy.
The sentries quickly noticed his movements, and when they looked at each other, there was a hint of surprise and gratitude in their eyes, but they acted more decisively.
With a guide backing them up, they can play with full confidence and show off their best skills.
It must be said that they had a great time fighting, and Lin Yao also enjoyed watching it. He thought some of the moves were good for killing.
It was not until the computer indicated five o'clock and Instructor Sun called that Lin Yao came back to his senses from the fierce battle.
Lin Yao walked to the side and answered the call. Instructor Sun first asked Lin Yao if he had registered. After getting the answer, he asked him where he was.
It's dinner time now, and he has already informed the cafeteria to reserve a seat for him.
I was quite surprised when I learned that he was at the sentinel training ground. Even the guides who had stayed in Chiying longer might not go to the training ground. Sun Yun didn't expect Lin Yao to be there.
"Yeah, that's quite interesting." Lin Yao glanced at the sentries still fighting in the arena, "They are all very powerful."
Sun Yun was very happy to hear him say that. She told him to watch the time and eat, and then hung up.
After hanging up the communication, he waved to the group of sentries and said, "I'm going to the cafeteria first. You guys continue."
Zhao Ke glanced at the time and saw that it was indeed time for dinner: "Guide Lin, take care!"
Then there were repeated "Take care!" and "Come back tomorrow!"
Xiao Mo followed him closely to the gate of the training ground, and Lin Yao waved goodbye to it.
-
At seven o'clock in the evening, the tension of the day finally faded away in the starship's conference room.
Ye Heng leaned back in his chair and pinched his brows. The conference room screen connected to the optical computer was still displaying the marching route map of the Seventh Star Region.
Just now, he and Yun Ling had carefully rehearsed the plan three times through communication to ensure that every ambush point and supply station was foolproof.
"Marshal, we have entered the outer reaches of the Liuli Galaxy." The navigator's report came from the communicator.
Ye Heng looked out the window, his pupils shrinking slightly.
The name of the Glass Galaxy itself is like a gentle poem.
At this moment, the starship was shuttling through a river composed of pale purple nebulae, with countless translucent star crystals floating in the nebula.
Reflecting the light of distant stars, it looks like billions of broken pieces of glass, flowing and sparkling in the dark blue universe.
What’s even more amazing is that there is a kind of luminous plant on every planet here. They grow in patches and bloom flowers of different colors, like a colorful blanket.
This is a famous tourist galaxy in the entire universe. During the flowering season, countless sightseeing ships will make a special trip here to dock just to take a look at this beautiful scenery.
Ye Heng's fingertips gently slid across the windowsill, and the image of Lin Yao's eyes sparkling when he saw this scene inexplicably emerged in his mind. He always liked these beautiful things.
“Knock knock.”
The head chef of the cafeteria knocked on the door and walked in with a dining cart: "Marshal, dinner is ready."
Ye Heng said "hmm", but his eyes did not leave the window.
In the conference room, the other participants had already left, but Ye Mang and the other four had not left yet.
This "hmm" was like a silent command.
Ye Mang, Xu Li, Zhao Kun and Lin Yue, who had just finished a four-hour combat meeting, were already starving and were clamoring for the chef to bring out all the delicious food.
Ye Mang was impatient. He left his seat and strode over. He took the bread from the lunch box and stuffed a big bite into his mouth.
"Finally, dinner is served. If it weren't for dinner, I would have to read the meeting minutes."
Xu Li and Zhao Kun were relatively calm. They each took their food and sat back in their original seats.
Lin Yue also took a portion for Ye Heng and placed it on the table next to him, whispering, "Marshal, eat something first. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Ye Heng nodded, but his eyes were still on the dreamy nebula outside the window.
The four of them looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
The marshal was thinking about something again, or rather, thinking about someone.
Whenever he has some free time, Ye Heng always likes to glance out the window. His eyes are much softer than when he is looking at the battle map.
Ye Mang's mouth was full, and he mumbled, "This Liuli Galaxy is really beautiful. No wonder so many guides like to come here..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Li stopped him with a look.
Several people lowered their heads and ate quietly. The light sound of knives and forks colliding became the only sound in the meeting room.
At this moment, "Buzz——"
A slight vibration was particularly clear in the quiet conference room.
It was the laptop that Ye Heng placed on the table.
Immediately afterwards, the new information prompts from the optical computer were automatically synchronized on the large screen in front of the conference room.
Two messages popped up on the screen, and the sender's name was clearly Lin Yao.
The first one is a picture: a pale purple nebula covers the entire screen, and a hand with a ring on the ring finger appears on it, as if touching the nebula. A familiar metal porthole edge can be seen in the lower right corner.
The second one had only one sentence, a tentative and somewhat excited message: "Did you see it?"
"Huh? Guide Lin sent a message!" Ye Mang was the first to react, and his words drew Ye Heng's attention back.
Ye Heng quickly picked up the laptop on the table, and it was indeed a message from Lin Yao.
Ye Heng clicked on the photo, and the photo also appeared on the big screen in front of the conference room.
Ye Mang stared at the screen for a few seconds, smacked his lips and said:
"This picture... why does it look so familiar? Hey! Isn't this the Glass Galaxy outside our window?"
"Hey, Guide Lin is great! He's staying on the Central Star and knows where we are. The map he shared with us is so cool!"
As he spoke, he slapped the table in triumph, completely unaware of the "looking at you like an idiot" looks from the three people next to him.
Xu Li held his forehead and pointed his chin at the lower right corner of the picture: "Ye Mang, look carefully at the porthole in the lower right corner."
Zhao Kun couldn't help but say, "The central satellite can't capture this angle. This is clearly..."
"It was taken from the rear deck of our starship!" Lin Yue pointed out the key point before Zhao Kun finished speaking.
Ye Mang finally realized what was happening and moved closer to the screen. He stared at the porthole for three seconds, then his eyes widened. "Holy crap! It's true! That Guide Lin..."
He hadn't finished speaking when his words exploded in the conference room like a thunderclap.
Ye Heng placed his fingers on the computer and kept enlarging the photo. The ring confirmed that the hand belonged to Lin Yao.
And on that porthole, there happened to be a badge of the Red Shadow Legion.
The dark green pupils shrank a little in an instant.
The eyes that were calm just now seemed to have been thrown into a stone, and instantly there was a huge wave.
He had always thought that Lin Yao was still on the central star, but this picture, this porthole, this angle, this nebula flow that was exactly the same as outside the window...
Lin Yao is on this starship?
He's actually on this starship? !
Ye Heng's breathing stopped for a moment.
My heart felt like it was being clenched by a hand, and then suddenly loosened, and an indescribable heat surged out, spreading from my heart to every part of my body.
It was a mixture of great surprise, disbelief, and uncontrollable ecstasy, which made his fingertips tremble slightly.
This was the message he had been waiting for for a long time. Since the morning call, he would open his computer to check it from time to time.
However, he didn't expect that what he got was not the plain news that he had handed over his work, but such a huge surprise.
"Oh……"
A very light laugh escaped from Ye Heng's throat, low and hoarse, but with an uplift that was difficult to conceal.
He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, covering the emotions surging in his eyes.
But the curve of his lips, which was tightly pursed but still couldn't be concealed, revealed his uneasiness at the moment.
Ye Mang and his companions looked at each other, not daring to breathe, and even chewed the bread with less intensity.
It was rare for them to see the marshal show such emotion, as if the hard ice suddenly cracked, revealing the boiling magma underneath.
That is the freshest and hottest joy hidden under the cold shell.
Ye Heng's fingertips stroked the picture on the screen, his eyes so gentle that tears could drip from them.
Ye Heng imagined how Lin Yao looked when he sent the message. Perhaps he was lying on the railing of the rear deck, holding up his laptop and wondering whether it would scare him.
No matter what you say about not being able to catch up, he clearly caught up.
Ye Heng cursed softly, but there was no blame in his tone, only overflowing indulgence and joy.
Then Ye Heng suddenly put away his laptop and stood up, bringing up a gust of wind. His military boots made a quick sound on the floor, breaking the silence in the meeting room.
He didn't even look at the dinner on the table, nor did he pay attention to the gazes of the four people behind him, and strode towards the door.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Ye Mang asked vaguely with half a piece of bread still in his mouth.
The three people in the conference room responded to Ye Mang with a unanimous "tsk".
In the corridor, Ye Heng's footsteps became faster and faster.
The sound of military boots hitting the ground was rapid and dense, as if they were chasing something fleeting.
"Don't run away." He muttered softly, his fingertips tightening unconsciously.
As he passed by the command cabin, the officer on duty looked at his hurried back in surprise.
The entrance to the rear deck was just ahead. The heavy alloy door slowly slid open, letting in the breeze circulating inside the starship.
As soon as the alloy door slid open a crack, Ye Heng walked out quickly sideways, his eyes instantly sweeping across the entire deck.
There were a few people standing sporadically by the railings in the field of vision, all of them were sentries on duty.
Some were leaning on the railings smoking, some were holding up their laptops to take pictures of the starry sky, and the low voices of conversation drifted over with the wind, bringing a sense of relaxation from having been relieved of the burden of training.
His eyes scanned the crowd like a radar, his heart beating faster in his chest.
The lavender light of the Glass Galaxy spread across the deck, casting a soft glow on everyone's shoulders, but he looked around and didn't find the familiar figure.
"Marshal?" A sentry recognized him and quickly stood up straight, subconsciously hiding the cigarette in his hand behind his back.
Ye Heng waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to be so reserved, his eyes still wandering among the crowd.
But his arrival still made those people dare not stay in this beautiful scenery any longer, and they all withdrew, and soon the place became empty.
Ye Heng took a look around and had to admit that the figure he imagined was not here; the lounge chair in the corner was also empty, without even a piece of clothing left.
The light of the Glass Galaxy still streamed outside the porthole, breathtakingly beautiful, but making the deck seem particularly deserted.
Ye Heng's heart sank suddenly. The ecstasy he had just felt was like a balloon that had been punctured, and most of it was gone in an instant.
Did he go back to the dormitory? Or did he go somewhere else?
He took out his laptop, placed his fingertips over the screen, and wanted to send a message to Lin Yao, but then felt it was a little ridiculous.
I was sure that he was here just now, and even imagined the scene of our meeting. But when I ran over excitedly, I didn't even see a shadow of him.
Before the message was sent, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps behind me.
"Hey, that sentry over there, are you looking for me?"
Ye Heng turned around suddenly.
Lin Yao stood in the lavender light woven by the Liuli Star System, wearing a black and red combat uniform, with his hands clasped across his chest, his sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing a section of his fair wrists.
There was a mischievous smile in his eyes, like a cat that had just succeeded in a prank.
Ye Heng didn't hesitate for a second and ran towards him, the distance between them shortening rapidly.
Lin Yao seemed to have not expected him to run over. Before he could hide the mischievous smile on his face, he was suddenly pulled into a hot embrace by a strong force.
There was a warmth on the lips.
