Chapter 142
"We'll just take it one step at a time and see how things develop."
Seeing how bad they thought the current situation was, the team leader, who had been standing by and hadn't said much, spoke softly.
"All of our current thinking is based on the assumption that they are very powerful, can easily capture us, and know our origins."
Having said this, the team leader paused, leaving room for others to think further.
Is there really no way they can do this?
"At worst, we can leave a few people at the exit. If all else fails, some of us can distract those people, send one person out to pass on the message, and the rest of us can blow up the exit."
After hearing the leader's words, one of the team leaders spoke softly. His tone was very calm, without any hint of impending death. It was as if he had simply given the correct and rational answer under the appropriate circumstances.
His words were recognized by most people.
"Can."
With that one word uttered, it was the worst possible outcome they could have arranged for themselves following this discovery.
"If that happens, let Guaibao go. His abilities are auxiliary, and with the mutant animals he controls, if he stays hidden, he won't have any trouble getting back."
Now that we have considered the worst-case scenario, the next step is to consider the person to deliver the letter.
The third captain looked down at the well-behaved and sensible child who had been standing by and watching them discuss the matter without saying a word, and still expressed his own preference.
"Yes, sure."
The other teammates looked at the child who was only half a person's height and nodded silently.
It was already difficult for the child to follow them out in the first place. This time, if there is any danger, they all want to give the child hope of life.
Letting the children go out is selfish on their part.
Although the child was young, he had been on missions with the other members of the team for so long. He was just young, not stupid. How could he not hear the result they had discussed? He wanted to refute it immediately.
Unfortunately, the third captain did not give him a chance to speak. The moment he saw him about to speak, he reached out and covered his mouth.
"My dear, you have to follow our instructions now, otherwise it will be easy to make mistakes."
Team 3 squatted down and looked seriously into the child's eyes. After saying this solemnly, they turned around and prepared to take the others to find the exit.
The child opened his mouth and looked at the captain uncle who had stopped covering his mouth. He wanted to say something, but when he turned around and looked at the serious expressions of the uncles, brothers and sisters around him, he finally fell silent.
At this time, he didn't know what to say. Should he say that he didn't want to?
It is much better to let Uncle Dunzi go out than to let myself go out. At least after Uncle Dunzi goes out, he can transmit the situation here away.
As long as he is alive, he can help transport supplies to the base and bring hope to many people.
If he goes out and doesn't have enough mutant animals to control, his combat effectiveness will not be strong and he may not be able to complete the mission.
This is what children really think.
Also, neither his father nor the teacher in the base, nor the Taoist who taught him how to control his supernatural powers, had ever taught him to escape at the critical moment.
Although he went out with a mission, he knew whether there was any water in it.
"That's the one in front. Some of us have ventured out through that door before. The one out there is the door we entered through."
Team Three said this, pointing out a member of the team.
"He had left from that place before, and when he came back it wasn't where he was originally standing. He came back in a different place."
Captain Three said this, and set his sights on Mo Shan.
"I asked Mo Shan before if he could contact anyone, and he finally did. Before we reunited, we all thought he had just teleported somewhere else. But when we saw him, we realized he had just come back in."
After hearing this, everyone else had some understanding.
"The location we enter changes each time, but the exit we use is still the same as the one we entered."
When they realized that this secret realm would separate people, they thought that they would also be separated when they went out.
On the way to the rendezvous, I also thought about how to rendezvous as quickly as possible after getting out.
But before they could think clearly about what was going to happen next and ask Captain Dai and the others about it, they discovered those people and they didn't have time to ask.
Unexpectedly, the answers they hadn't gotten before would be given to them at this time.
"Now that we know the exit, let's take action. Find a place to hide while the others keep an eye on those who are trying to find out."
The team leader finally made a decision. After saying this, he watched the others take action. He himself was not idle either, and followed Captain Dai and his team directly.
"Don't follow us. The location we're going to investigate is too close to those people. We might be the first to be discovered. You stay here and make the key decision."
After Captain Dai finished speaking, he saw that the team leader understood what he meant, and then he felt at ease to take his men away.
Compared with Captain Dai and his group, there are not many cultivators entering this secret realm this time.
I don't know what the specific situation is, but one thing that can be simply seen is that only a small number of those people were walking alone, and the others who were wearing similar clothes basically moved together and rarely separated.
If we go by the experience gained from reading novels, those who went their separate ways, except for those who were excluded, the rest should be independent cultivators.
Perhaps they knew that this secret realm was not dangerous, so when they acted as a group, they were not as vigilant as when they first entered the secret realm.
"Captain, the surveillance over there has been installed according to their route."
Just as Captain Dai was observing those people, a team member came over and whispered.
Although their current position is the closest to those people in the entire exploration team, if you really calculate the distance, it is actually not that close.
It's just the distance of a hill.
Normally, they cannot see so far, even if their abilities, physiques and five senses have evolved.
But who asked them to follow Zhuang Dun? There are many high-tech products in his space.
Isn't it normal for a telephoto lens to be able to see clearly from a distance?
"As long as it's installed, it's fine. Mo Shan, talk to the second team in the back and debug it to see if they can hear it clearly. If they can't hear it clearly, give up and focus on the ones that can be heard clearly first."
After listening to his team members' words, Captain Dai nodded to show that he understood, then turned around and gave instructions to Mo Shan.
"OK."
Mo Shan went to contact them, and Captain Dai continued to observe those people with the camera.
He also knew that those people were cultivators after all, and would definitely be more perceptive. So even though he knew that he understood lip reading and could understand some of it, he did not stare at those people. He just roughly observed their direction of movement and actions, and did not stare at them all the time.
"Do you feel anything is wrong?"
As Captain Dai expected, the five senses of practitioners are equally sharp. Although they cannot directly strengthen their bodies to a certain level like Captain Dai and his team, they can also extend an extremely sharp skill.
Spiritual consciousness.
Their current strength is not strong. Even the person with a long range of spiritual awareness can only see the distance of one street in the market.
So even if they sensed something was wrong, they would look around, but when they didn't see anything staring at them, they could only frown and lower their heads.
"What did Third Brother discover?"
After hearing what he said, the female cultivator with a gentle face who was half a body behind him asked a question.
Among all the people present, her strength is second only to the third brother she mentioned.
"Yeah, I feel like something is watching us, but I can't tell the specific direction."
The third brother nodded and told what he had sensed.
"I feel the same way."
After hearing the third brother's answer, the female cultivator agreed with what she had noticed after receiving a positive response.
"Something unexpected happened in this secret realm before, and the clan urgently recalled us Foundation Establishment disciples who were training outside because they anticipated that the incident was serious. I didn't expect that after being here for so long, besides sensing, we didn't notice anything else unusual."
"The disciples who left before couldn't explain it. They all said that the monsters and plants here were crazy and would attack anyone they saw. But we've been here for so long, and we haven't seen any monsters or plants attacking us..."
As soon as I came back, I heard my brothers and sisters discussing these things. A young man in an indigo robe shook his head and said something.
Walking in the secret realm, they would pick any spiritual plants they could use. As the other disciples calmed down after such a period of time, they also gradually let down their guard.
"There have been no problems in our clan's secret training ground for so many years. This time, there are some unusual circumstances. For the sake of the younger generation in our clan, we must not be careless at all."
"I understand, Third Brother. Don't worry. Our strength is considered top-notch in the clan. If that doesn't work out, we still have the specially invited monks from the City Lord's Mansion. They often do this and have more experience than us."
After being reminded by the third brother, the young man agreed on the surface, but he had some of his own thoughts in his words.
"Don't talk anymore."
The female cultivator was helpless and reached out to knock the boy on the head.
"I understand, Twelfth Sister."
After being hit on the head, the boy pursed his lips and stopped talking.
His strength is considered average among those who went on this trip to the secret realm, but he is the youngest, so his temperament is inevitably a bit eccentric.
"Keep an eye on him for a while. I'll take someone to check around."
The third brother felt a bit of a headache when he saw the young man's appearance. He gave some instructions to the female cultivator and took people to check the surroundings carefully.
"You, be careful. When you get back, your third brother will complain to your grandfather about you being disobedient."
Seeing that the person had walked away, the female cultivator reached out and tapped the boy's forehead again.
After being pointed at by the female cultivator, the young man could only smile awkwardly and stopped talking.
The third brother on the other side seemed to have discovered something and dug out the mutant animal that was hiding from an inconspicuous place.
Before he could make any specific move, the mutant animal attacked them decisively the moment they dug it out.
The mutant animal was not strong, so he didn't need support from others. The third brother killed it in just a few moves.
After the mutant animal was lying on the ground dead, the third brother half squatted down to check on the mutant animal.
"Third brother, is this monster still the same as before?"
Seeing this, the female cultivator stopped talking to her cousin who was twenty years younger than her, and walked over to her third brother to watch.
"Well, it's still the same as before. Its cultivation level is unknown. It looks like an ordinary animal that has become stronger after being forcibly washed by spiritual energy."
The third brother put down the stick he was using to check the monster on the ground, threw it away, and told others about their previous discoveries.
"Ordinary animals, who threw them into our clan's secret realm? Moreover, ordinary animals normally can't be like them. Not only can they practice without any cultivation, but they can also store spiritual energy and improve their strength."
"It sounds a bit like the path of physical cultivation. However, can ordinary animals also choose to follow the path of physical cultivation like humans?"
Others also found a mutant animal to check, and finally came to the same conclusion.
"Throwing so many ordinary animals in here, could it be the work of another noble family?"
"Furthermore, these animals are clearly abnormal. They don't show any signs of demonic beast cultivation, yet they can actually increase their strength. This is clearly a unique cultivation method for these demonic beasts."
"I've been looking at it for a long time but can't figure it out. Let's go find out where these monsters and plants came from. If they can be put in, there must be an entrance."
After saying this, the group began to prepare to continue moving in the predetermined direction.
Captain Dai and his team saw all their actions.
However, those monks only paid attention for a while when they first noticed it.
Later, when they didn't find anyone staring at them, they could only attribute it to those obviously strange-looking monster plants and monsters.
They have been in this secret realm for such a long time, how could they not have noticed that the IQ of these demonic plants and beasts is obviously higher than those in other places in the cultivation world.
Monsters and beasts from other parts of the cultivation world cannot change their somewhat naive nature no matter how long they mingle among humans.
But the demonic plants and beasts in this secret realm are different. Their intention to attack is very clear, and they will not soften their attitude towards them just because they offer benefits.
It seemed that they knew from the beginning that these monks were on the opposite side of them.
They will avoid them because of their lack of strength, but they will not give up fighting back just because they are weak. There is no room for easing.
Because of this, some monks among them who were good at taming beasts were unable to gain any advantage over them.
So much so that until now, they have not been able to figure out where these demonic plants and beasts were thrown in from.
"If I find out who immorally threw these little gadgets into our family's secret realm, I'll have to find my ancestors and sue them. This is so immoral!"
Everyone else had finished talking, and the young man saw that no one was talking and was just walking forward to check the situation. He couldn't wait any longer and said what he was thinking.
"Let's talk about all this after we find the culprit. Right now, we don't know the source, so there's no way to file a complaint."
The others couldn't help but smile after hearing what the boy said.
Later, they just hurried along and checked the environment without talking much. However, after about ten minutes, they were out of the surveillance range that Zhuang Dun and his team had set up at the beginning.
Captain Dai and his men watched as the people had walked a long distance away, and only after they were sure that they would not be discovered if they went up now did they send someone to remove the installed surveillance cameras.
There is no internet in the secret realm, so the surveillance cameras they brought out can only record and save videos. They cannot directly send back such a large amount of video storage, so they need to retrieve it.
However, no matter how cautious one is, one may still be exposed because one does not know the specific methods of those monks.
Captain Dai was watching his team members retrieve the surveillance when something suddenly triggered the leader of a group of monks who had already walked a long way away to look back at the place where they were retrieving the surveillance.
"Heh... I found it."
Captain Dai read these words through the other party's lip reading, and suddenly his back felt cold and sweat broke out.
"Mo Shan, tell them to retreat quickly!"
Almost the moment he saw that the monks were about to turn back, Captain Dai yelled at Mo Shan.
"good!"
Although Mo Shan didn't see clearly what the man said, he could still see that the other party had obviously turned around.
"immediately!"
After receiving the news, Zhuang Dun and others looked at the two surveillance cameras that were still there and had not been removed, withdrew their gaze with some regret, and then left decisively.
Those mutant plants and animals that are stronger than them cannot stand up to those monks. If those of them who are weaker than the mutant plants and animals go up, their strength will only be weakened.
What they want most now is to explore this secret realm completely, observe and organize the information of those monks and bring it back to the authorities.
Even if he had to survive a little, he didn't want to be killed by those monks before he could collect much.
He didn't think that the other party would be kind to them just because they were human beings.
A kind-hearted person cannot possess such strong power, and will not kill so many mutated animals and plants without blinking an eye.
Since they knew that those people were difficult to deal with and had not reached a desperate situation, Captain Dai and his men did not want to face them directly.
Those monks returned very quickly, they flew.
They had walked all the way before because they wanted to explore slowly, but now they found something wrong and locked onto something that appeared in the place they had set foot on. How could they possibly walk back so slowly? Of course they had to go as fast as possible.
The flying swords were unsheathed, and one by one they jumped onto the flying swords and began to move towards the place where they had left before.
Captain Dai and the others turned pale when they saw this.
"Where are Zhuang Dun and the others?"
Seeing that they were almost there, Captain Dai turned to look at Mo Shan.
"It's okay. Zhuang Dun and the others drove away a little further and then disappeared."
The other team member who was staring at Zhuang Dun also responded to Captain Dai's words with a pale face.
"We thought they might be fast from the beginning, but we didn't expect them to be this fast."
Thinking of the flying monks with swords in the novels of cultivation appearing before their eyes, even though they had tried their best to improve their strength, they still couldn't imagine that their strength could be so strong.
"No, our current position is still a little unsafe. We need to be farther away next time!"
As soon as he finished saying this, the monks had already returned to the place where they installed the cameras. After stopping, they observed carefully and finally locked onto several locations where the surveillance cameras had been removed.
After observing for a while, he swung his sword directly at the remaining two surveillance cameras that had not been removed.
With just one sword strike, the trees that were monitored fell down one after another.
Captain Dai and his team had thought of concealment before, so they installed small cameras on these trees. When that man swung his sword, he found the right spot, so there was no way anything could be left.
Looking at the fragments on the ground, the monks searched for a long time before they dug out two objects whose material could not be seen.
"Third brother, this is all out."
The female cultivator helplessly took people to search for a long time before they finally took out the shattered surveillance fragments from inside.
Just as Captain Dai and his men did not understand the monks' methods, they also did not understand Captain Dai and his men's methods.
The reason why the third brother swung his sword so directly was that he didn't expect that the thing that could monitor them was not a magic weapon, but such a fragile little thing.
"What should we do now? It's already damaged. Whoever left these things here probably has disappeared somewhere. How can they wait for us to catch them?"
The young man came closer to the female cultivator and carefully observed the fragment in her hand, frowning, but couldn't make out anything.
"What else can I do? A tracking talisman."
The female cultivator had no choice but to push the young boy away. She casually threw the broken pieces of things in her hand to the ground, took out a talisman from her storage bag, and threw it to the ground as well.
Seeing that the talisman fell on the fragments on the ground, it did not disappear directly like the talismans these people had used before. Instead, after being contaminated by the fragments on the ground, it selectively turned into a small paper figure, and then flew up, flying towards the direction where Zhuang Dun and the others had left.
"It's over, it's over, it's over."
After seeing this scene, the other team members following Captain Dai didn't know what to do.
"Mo Shan, tell Zhuang Dun and the others about their actions and see if there's any way they can help nearby."
Captain Dai was at a loss as the direction they were tracking was obviously the direction Zhuang Dun and the others had left, leaving them no chance of success.
"clear."
Mo Shan also knew that this was a critical moment, so he directly relayed the current situation without any pause.
"If all else fails, get all those hidden mutant animals out."
After listening to Mo Shan’s retelling.
The cold sweat on Zhuang Dun's face did not stop, but at this critical moment, his mind calmed down.
I thought about the first time I saw these people. They escaped the disaster because the mutant animals were discovered.
Now, can we replicate it?
"Those people were following the scent we left behind, right?"
As Zhuang Dun spoke, his eyes couldn't help but linger on the stream in front of him.
"Water source, animals."
Just two words made the others around him understand his unspoken meaning.
They moved quickly, and just as they had finished packing and arranging things, they saw something coming from afar.
The paper figure that brought the monk fell directly to the ground after arriving at the destination, ignited without wind, and disappeared in two seconds.
Seeing this, Zhuang Dun's brows relaxed. Without saying a word, he wrote a word on the palm of the invisible person: "Move".
They are still some distance away from the paper sculpture on the ground, and also some distance away from those monks. They are afraid that those monks have strong five senses and will not be able to leave after discovering them.
Listening to the sounds of attacks from mutated animals and plants, Zhuang Dun and the others slowly moved out of the battle circle that might be affected.
After they were farther away and were sure that the monks could not discover them, Zhuang Dun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as he took a breath, he was overwhelmed by the stench lingering in his nose.
After the animals mutated, the idea of marking their territory continued unabated, and as their strength increased, the poop they used to mark their territory became even stinkier.
Even though they have entered the secret realm, the idea of grabbing territory has not stopped at all.
Zhuang Dun and his friends were lucky before, as they happened to see a stream.
In this secret place that is similar to a mountain forest, the animals always find a suitable water source for themselves based on their instincts.
The creek is just right.
From this, we can guess that Zhuang Dun and his team only had to search around for a while before they found the poop of those mutant animals.
Fortunately, the mutant animals marked in different parts of the stream are different.
This led to their subsequent actions.
There was enough poop, so they took off their clothes and smeared it all over their bodies.
After making sure that even they themselves could not sense the aura on their bodies, they buried the clothes they had taken off earlier on the road they came from.
That is where the paper-shaped figurine fell.
Zhuang Dun didn't expect that the paper figurine was like a dog, it only remembered the smell and was a disposable item.
According to their original plan, after those monks killed the mutated animals and plants, they would move their position and hide in the territories of other mutated animals and plants.
Now, the scent tracking device is ineffective and they don’t even have time to run, let alone their original plan.
"It stinks. We should stay away from them next time. However, I don't think we need to wash the things on our bodies. We can wash them when we get into trouble with those people again."
Anyway, tracking is just tracking the scent of mutant animals.
"Yes, sure."
Ignoring the smell on his body, Zhuang Dun nodded his dirty head in agreement.
I have this idea and I am sure that it is feasible.
The people from other teams didn't hide so tightly.
Every one of them began to search the ground for the scent of mutant animals.
And after being discovered by those monks, he ran away everywhere without them.
They diverted the targets of those monks, but it was hard for the mutant animals who had to squat on the ground and practice after entering the secret realm.
Mutated plants can't poop, so even if there are ways to mark their territory, humans can't use them.
It’s different with mutated animals. It’s not easy for humans to find them.
It would be very easy for those people to track down those mutant animals.
After all, it smells bad.
After all this turmoil, the mutant animals were not stupid. They knew that they would not be able to live in peace in the secret realm this time, so they prepared to leave immediately.
Seeing that they were in trouble, the mutant animals that were being chased were about to take the monks towards the exit.
Zhuang Dun and the others were a little anxious.
"Captain, what should we do? Those bastards, if we can't defeat them, just prepare to lead them towards the exit!"
When the monks first saw the animals running, they were a little confused about where they were going. Later, when they saw that they were running in the same direction, they vaguely guessed something.
Anyway, they came here just to investigate and find out how the accident happened in their family secret realm.
Now we will have the answer immediately. How could they kill those animals? The attacks they made later were just because they wanted the animals to run faster.
Later, they saw that if they did not attack the animals, they would run towards the exit on their own, so they simply released their flying swords and leisurely followed the animals.
They were relaxed, but Captain Dai and his men were anxious.
"Mo Shan, ask the team leaders who are staying at the exit to make way."
Following behind, Captain Dai had a cold look in his eyes.
At this time, he thought of a solution that was not a good solution.
Although the danger level of human technology has been gradually decreasing after the world changes, it has not yet reached the point where humans can remain unscathed under the attack of large weapons.
As long as those people go out, they will go out to hold them back the next moment, and let the leaders in the base give orders to fire in the direction of the door. It is not impossible to hold all those people back directly!
Since they are all going to die anyway, it is better to bring some scapegoats. This will also let the families of those monks know the dangers of this secret realm and prevent them from setting foot in it easily. It will also be easier for the official to bring people to explore it later.
Ask Captain Dai if the elders behind the monks will show up to take revenge on him if they leave all these people behind?
If the secret realm could allow cultivators with higher cultivation levels to enter, there wouldn't be so many people coming this time, and they wouldn't be coming in groups.
It was only after Captain Dai realized this that he came up with such an extreme idea.
"good!"
Although he didn't understand what Captain Dai was thinking, Mo Shan still followed his instructions and relayed everything Captain Dai wanted him to convey.
After he finished relaying the message to the team leader, he heard his captain asking him to continue contacting people from other teams.
It can be imagined that when the other teams found those monks heading towards the exit, they would definitely try their best to stop them.
Instead of risking your life to stop a monk who can get the answer by placing a tracking talisman, it is better to wait until they all go out and die together with those monks.
This is Captain Dai’s current thinking.
After Mo Shan relayed it, it became a shared idea among others.
After the team leader led his men to clear the exit, he also understood Captain Dai's idea. Without saying anything, he directly expressed his support.
Now, they have no better plan than luring people away in the secret realm and letting them all die at the hands of those monks just to release a child to pass on the message, right?
Thinking of this, the team leader couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
Rather than letting his country be invaded because of this secret realm, it would be better to die together with those people and kill them at the exit.
After thinking it through, they just stood there motionlessly watching the monks following the mutant animals. When they saw the exit of the door, they stopped and discussed for a while. After one of them was sure that it was okay to go out, they all went to the exit one by one.
It’s not that the monks didn’t think about whether there would be danger at the exit, but it was the animal that was trying so hard to escape that gave them confidence.
These animals are so weak. Even if the monks who created them are very powerful, they are not that strong. In addition, they have protective magic weapons given by their elders at home. Even if they encounter danger, they can still retreat, right?
The emergence of this idea was the key that led them to blindly explore the unknown areas in the secret realm.
Exploring secret realms in the world of cultivation is a dangerous activity that requires one to be vigilant. Although they are now exploring the secret realm of their own family, when something unexpected happens in the secret realm, it will be no different from an unfamiliar secret realm.
If you have an idea, then put it into practice. They rushed into the door of the secret realm exit.
Almost the next moment after those monks left, Captain Dai and his men rushed towards the door at the fastest speed.
There is only one idea, to use all my ability to trap those people before they can react.
The idea was simple, and they started attacking forward almost the moment they left the secret realm.
After making sure that none of his attacks had missed, Captain Dai was about to call his men out to report to the higher-ups to make sure their sacrifices were not in vain. Only then did they see clearly that there was no trace of those monks before them.
"That's impossible! We've followed those people before. There's no way they could have disappeared so quickly. These mutant animals they chased out are still here!"
The second captain opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
The mutant animals in front had finally escaped the attacks of those killer gods and were about to take a rest on the side when they were attacked by Captain Dai and his group who had just appeared.
The mutant animals that were injured but not dead turned their heads. They originally thought that those killing gods had come out of the door. Just as they were about to run, they saw clearly that the ones attacking them were not killing gods at all.
Every one of them targeted Captain Dai and his men who had just left the house.
Especially when they smelled the scent of other mutant animals on them, their attacks became even more powerful.
That’s what they say!
After knowing that there were killer gods in there who would attack mutant animals, they became very careful when going in. They almost found a place to hide themselves after entering. How could they be so unlucky that so many mutant animals were attacked by those killer gods?
Still chasing?!
Think about it carefully, it’s all the fault of these unlucky humans!
Since they had figured it out, there was no need for further communication. They attacked Captain Dai and others directly.
They looked so desperate that it seemed as if they were not willing to leave Captain Dai and the others behind.
"Don't think about it, break out, let's get out!"
This was not the time to think about why the monks didn't come out. After Captain Dai and his men reacted, they immediately found a place with weak attacks and broke out.
Those mutant animals had been chased and killed by the monks before, and their bodies were covered with wounds. In addition, the immediate attack by Captain Dai and others after they left the house made the already injured mutant animals even worse off.
Don't look at their current appearance, they are just Captain Hu Dai and his men.
They were afraid that they would just escape from the attacks of those killer gods and be taken advantage of by these humans who were much weaker than them.
They are not lacking in brains. When they were being chased in the secret realm before, they vaguely realized something. The only people who can do such a thing are humans in their world.
However, their disadvantage is that they cannot communicate with humans. Otherwise, they would probably tell Captain Dai and his men everything the moment they were chased.
Suffer a loss! Suffer a big loss!
Now they have to watch the humans who made them suffer leave, which is so frustrating.
'Next time those humans come, I'll tear them to pieces!'
Seeing that Captain Dai and his men had left and their mixed odors were no longer in the air, the mutant animals began to howl. Even a human who couldn't understand the language could hear the anger in their voices.
Captain Dai and his men, who had already gone far away, heard the cries of the mutant animals from afar. Although they didn't understand what they were saying, it was definitely not a good thing.
After all, they had just caused trouble in their territory, causing them to be hunted down.
Captain Dai and his men left, but the monks who were still in the secret realm didn't know how to describe their feelings at the moment.
"Third brother, I have been teleported to the direction of Yanshan in the secret realm. How about you?"
The third brother had just stood there for a short while, and after figuring out his current location, he received a communication token from his younger sister.
"Well, we are still in the secret realm, but we were teleported to other places by that exit and have dispersed."
After the third brother understood the current situation, he was very decisive.
"Order, Huizudi!"
The third brother took out a token from his waist, transferred his spiritual power into it and said a simple word. The token flashed with light, and then it turned into a ball of light, wrapping up the third brother. In just a moment, the figure disappeared into the secret realm.
When the third brother activated the token, the clan members who were forced to disperse in other places in the secret realm were also transformed into flowing light and wrapped up in it by the token hanging around his waist.
The secret realm where figures were walking around before became quiet.
Sensing that the God of Death had left, the mutated animals and plants that had not left the secret realm stopped pretending to be obedient and began to show their fangs and claws one by one.
They abandoned their original territory and began to move towards other territories.
The direction of movement was obviously the direction of those monsters and plants that originally lived in the secret realm.
Captain Dai and the others believed that the reason these mutated animals and plants improved their abilities so quickly was entirely due to the abundant spiritual energy in this secret realm.
In fact, it is just one of the factors.
Another factor is that they fought a fierce battle with the local residents in the secret realm and ate the monsters and plants in the secret realm.
Those monster beasts and plants are all tonics with abundant spiritual energy. It would be strange if the mutated animals and plants did not quickly increase in strength after eating them.
It can be imagined that if this continues, once the strength of the mutated animals and plants increases and they devour all the original monsters and plants, the entire secret realm will belong to them.
By then, it would be hard to say whether the things in this secret realm would still be helpful to those cultivators.
The immortal cultivators and Captain Dai each went home and reported what they had seen without mentioning anything else.
Ying Huai was currently directing the slimy little creature to move its branches to the mountain where it was currently settled.
Ever since the person with special abilities who went out to explore in Daxi Village came back and told him about the situation on the mountain, Ying Huai has been thinking about planting a tree with his own branches on the mountain.
Originally, he had weakened after dividing his branches, so he was not planning to go to the mountain.
But who can blame the authorities for acting so quickly?
Almost the next moment after the branches were planted, a special channel was activated to inform the humans in other bases of Ying Huai's existence.
And let each base start repairing the electricity and providing electricity.
With Ying Huai's protection, apart from anything else, the electricity supply was repaired without any problems and was protected.
Once people have electricity and can access the Internet, that’s when the government will take action.
The fact is just as the above person thought.
Almost as soon as the power was restored, people who had been without Internet access for a long time and had to take refuge in cramped places were able to access the Internet the moment they charged their communicators.
What followed was a barrage of official propaganda.
Promote everything about Daxi Village and promote Yinghuai.
Let them treat the locust tree they planted above well. With it, the people will have a place to stay in the face of increasingly frequent natural disasters.
After finishing the propaganda, the officials also awarded a medal to the locust tree planted at the entrance of their base.
The meaning it expresses is also very simple.
This is a reward for the secret cultivation manual that Huaishu previously provided to those with special abilities.
The official said that they are currently short of money and cannot offer a better reward, so they can only express their gratitude in this way.
This overwhelming publicity was coupled with publicity from villagers in Daxi Village, villages outside the village, and villages upstream.
Almost everyone who goes online these days knows Ying Huai's name.
Regardless of whether they believed in these kinds of strange stories before, after understanding the official bias, for the sake of their future lives, every one of them tried to find a way to kneel down and worship the locust tree at the gate of the base.
With their faith, the sapling, which was originally just a branch and looked very weak, grew noticeably taller and bigger in just a few days.
The area that the small locust tree could provide shelter for also began to expand as it grew, and this was all seen by everyone.
What else can be argued about this?
After realizing that the locust tree could really provide protection, the remaining stubborn people put aside their prejudice against the mutant plants and began to head towards the base entrance.
The reason why I say it is letting go.
Because even though the official authorities have tried their best to say that the locust tree is not a mutated plant, but a sacred tree that had become a spirit long before the mutation began, there are still some people whose family members died in the mutated plant and who do not believe it and hold resentment.
However, after they saw the truth and their consciousness was overwhelmed by the intense emotions of the people around them, they gave up the idea that the locust tree was a mutant plant and accepted the official statement.
How much they believe in it depends on how much faith they can contribute to Ying Huai.
Because of this almost universal belief, Ying Huai's strength is recovering rapidly.
Almost immediately after recovery, in order to prevent any problems from occurring on the mountain behind from the people with special abilities from Daxi Village, Ying Huai simply separated out a branch for the muddy little guy to carry up the mountain.
The other mutant animals and plants on the mountain were very happy about Ying Huai's decision.
As time goes by, there are more and more mutated animals and plants on the mountain, and many of them can enter Ying Huai's protection range.
It is inevitable that they will be uncomfortable with some living habits when living with humans.
Both sides are trying to accommodate each other, but they still feel uncomfortable.
This is also the reason why the mutated animals in the mountains like to run to the mountains to hunt after seeing that there is no disaster outside.
Because of this, they are almost becoming the mountain's extraneous minions.
The reason why he is an extra brother is that the snake hibernated due to the extremely cold weather when crossing the mountain.
The other mutant animals could not pay homage to the mountain leader, and since Guo Shanfeng's original subordinates no longer had a boss to command them, they directly played together with the mutant animals in Daxi Village.
By the time Ali and Hu Hu discovered it, the fox that had grown long white fur in the winter was already able to go out and visit other mutant animals, using the mountain as a slide and the mutant bear as a bear mat to keep warm.
It also makes things difficult for the mutant animals that have been hibernating. After being woken up, they look around at the mutant animals around them and find that they are all the boss's minions, so they can't even get angry.
Now, with the branches of the Sophora japonica, as long as they are taken good care of, they will have another place to go in the future.
Thinking of this, the little guy holding the branch ran quickly. Just looking at it made me feel very happy.
Finally, Ali saw that it was running too slowly, so he went forward to pick it up, and jumped a long way away in a few steps.
In this regard, other people, mutant animals, and even the little guy who was picked up were not surprised or afraid at all.
"Ali has been very busy these days. Ever since they started seeing videos online of people from other places worshipping the sacred tree, the other people on the mountain couldn't hold back any longer. They wanted to come over every day to film videos to let people from other places know that they were the first believers in this sacred tree. They came in such large numbers that Ali couldn't even keep up. They've only started to calm down in the past two days."
One of the houses closest to the village entrance was filled with villagers who came to keep warm and chat. Looking at what was happening here, one of them said with emotion.
"Hey, everyone here is from the mountain, but none of them are from Daxi Village."
After hearing what that person said, Grandpa Tang said this with a smile.
As time goes by, everything in heaven and earth is changing.
Even though these elderly people have not awakened some special abilities, like those children who had a fever at the beginning, their bodies have undergone some different changes. At the very least, they are much healthier.
With the weather outside right now, even if my godmother blocked some of the cold wind, the chill in the air was still unbearable for normal humans.
But after adapting for so long, they can wear cotton clothes and walk outside for a period of time without worrying about freezing to death.
Even at this time, they can still visit other people's homes.
"Has the snow started to slow down these past two days?"
Looking at the snow scene outside the window, the embroidering grandma relaxed her brows and turned to ask a junior next to her.
"Hmm...Grandma Xiuhua, you have such a good eye. It seems like I'm a little smaller!"
The young man who was asked looked up in confusion, his attention still not withdrawn from the Internet. He looked outside for a long time before he realized something.
Generally speaking, only old people like the embroidery grandma who have nothing to do and are observing the situation outside all day long noticed it.
For the young man whose power has been restored and who can surf the Internet normally, no one has mentioned it online and no one around him has told him, so he may not be able to discover it in a short time.
After all, the snow is very small and subtle.
People who see snow every day can't tell anything at first glance.
"Master! Please move aside and let me stand by the window. I want to post something to my friends!"
With this discovery, the young man stood up and squeezed to the window in three or two steps. He was squeezed so tightly with his grandfather that he couldn't take a good picture for a long time.
"You brat!"
The grandfather, who was forced to squeeze out of his seat, had no choice but to pat the young man on the head and stand up to make room for his grandson.
Although his grandson has become more sensible after the mutation and knows how to be considerate of the elderly in the family, some of the bad habits that he and his wife spoiled him in the past cannot be changed.
Before the incident, he asked his grandfather who went to the previous section to help him go up and down the mountain to pick up express deliveries. After the incident, he shared a quilt with his grandparents all day long, and often fought over the quilt, which made the old couple speechless.
If they hadn't known that their grandson's ability was fire, and that he could control it to act like a stove to a certain extent, and that he was afraid that they would freeze to death, so he squeezed into the bed with them and snatched the quilt, they would have thought that this kid didn't want them to be together anymore.
Thinking of this old man, I just want to shake my head.
He didn't really understand what was the point of his grandson, who wasn't cold, grabbing the quilt and rolling it in his arms, just as he didn't really understand what was the point of his grandson taking pictures of the snow scene.
"Have you finished filming? If you have, come in. I'm counting on you to keep me warm."
The old man saw that his grandson was taking a long time to take the photo properly, so he urged him to take it.
"Oh, okay."
Even if they were not satisfied after taking pictures for a long time, the young man would still reluctantly squeeze back to his original position and continue to serve as a stove for the elders in his village.
While listening to other elders chatting, I was browsing the Internet at a fast speed.
I simply edited the photos and videos I just took and posted them online.
After looking at it for a long time and seeing no one paying attention, I pretended that other people didn't pay attention to it, so I curled my lips and scrolled away to look at something else.
However, before he could watch a few videos, he saw red dots appearing in his background.
People kept liking and commenting on the video he just posted.
The post with the highest number of likes came from a place in the north.
That place is in the north of the Flower Country and has a cold climate.
After the mutation began, the temperature in that place continued to drop, and it started to rain later.
It is still raining in their Daxi Village, but thick ice has already formed in the north.
When the natural disaster of snow came, although there was no ice in that place, it was not much better.
The temperature once dropped to more than 90 degrees below zero. The temperature during that period made the leaders above think that everyone in that place had died.
After all, at that temperature, a person's bones would almost be frozen and cracked.
What is rare is that after Bing Daozi passed by, the people there took the initiative to contact the leaders above and explained the situation on their side.
Many people froze to death, but those who survived also possessed special abilities.
Almost all of them are ice abilities.
It can be said that the snow made the place originally called the Ice and Snow World even more dreamy, and even the Ice and Snow Queen (King) appeared.
Nowadays, when I see the IP address of that place on the Internet, I subconsciously look at the gender of the account to decide the name.
Just like before, under the young man’s comment, there was a reply from a northerner.
Below his reply, there was a string of various names.
Snow Prince, Ice Prince, Chilled Prince...
The serious answer should be given after reading the other party's reply.
But after reading the other party's reply, his video, which only received a few likes, became a hot topic.
The temperature has been rising here for the past two days, by 20 degrees Celsius. Now it's over 60 degrees below zero. The temperature is rising too fast, but you just can't feel it that clearly.
The other party did not respond after saying this, but someone with the same IP address came out to confirm that what he said was true.
Basically, any news that can be posted online is already known to the official top leaders.
It’s just not clear how big the impact of this warming will be.
Some of the professionals above are still analyzing, and there is no result yet.
If I hadn't seen a very tall locust tree standing at the gate of my base, the Internet would probably be full of alarmist rumors.
After reading the comments on his own video, the young man frowned and wanted to ask his godmother in front of him, but when he saw the elders sitting next to him, he thought about it and gave up.
I'd better wait until my grandfather's place is over before I go talk to my godmother about this.
Anyway, the snowfall these two days isn't much different, so this little bit of time won't make a difference.
But, does Ying Huai really not know?
He is the one who stands in the snow every day. Even though he has used his spiritual power to push the snow away so that it will not fall on him, he still watches the snow falling around him every day and knows any changes in it.
Almost the next moment he realized the temperature was rising, he was sensing and asking about the extreme weather that might occur in the future.
The answer is not optimistic.
drought.
This answer given by Heaven has completely seen through the possible tragedy that may follow.
The next moment after getting this answer, Ying Huai started thinking about how to help the people in the mountains of Daxi Village survive the drought.
With the current extreme weather.
Given the hurried speed of nature, the drought will not last as long as the previous long rain, but will probably last about the same time as the snow.
Like snow, the extreme natural disasters that come with it are what they need to guard against.
The leaders above may have made some guesses, but there is no place to confirm them.
Ying Huai watched the snow gradually subside and saw that the temperature was about to rise. The officials were still hesitating, so he couldn't help but give a reminder.
Not only the officials were reminded, but also the people in the major bases.
Ying Huai's branches have already grown in those places. As long as Ying Huai wants to know, he can easily know the situation in those places and communicate with the people in those places.
The weather is clearly showing an upward trend, and there is also the reminder of the sacred tree.
In the following time, almost every day people went out to collect snow and ice to bring home.
Ice is stored and melted snow stores water.
While the ice has not melted yet and the water underneath has not been exposed, it is best to store the water you may need first.
After all, there were people who died in the water that was washed away when it rained before. To them, the water was not really clean.
It’s better not to use it if you can.
With Ying Huai's clear indication, those above had no reason to take their time to consider it.
When they learned that a drought was coming, they first thought about the water under the ice and the diseases that might arise after the water dried up.
Although they knew that there was now a shelter they could rely on, the official leaders did not think of placing all their hopes on the locust tree, and the necessary preparations still had to be made.
After all, if turmoil occurs, it is better to prevent it in advance than to save it later.
Thinking that many of the animals and plants that drowned in the water were mutated, and fearing that the epidemic would be more serious than they had previously known, they specifically asked the research institute to conduct more detailed research and achieve more effective results.
They have prepared for the impending disaster, but they currently have no way to deal with the exploration information brought back by Captain Dai and his team.
"According to the instructions above, since those people can't get out, then we should choose a time to go in, only move around the exit, and come out directly if we encounter any danger."
The leader called together the captains of each team and told them the above decision.
"This decision was made not only because we need you to strengthen your strength, but also because a drought is coming. Once the drought begins and extreme weather occurs, those mutated plants and animals won't easily stay outside. They will most likely hide in the secret realm, but we can't go there. The outside world is our home."
"The most important point is that ordinary people who enter will only become food for the mutated plants and animals in that secret realm, as well as the powerful plants and animals."
"Therefore, humanity cannot abandon its homes or take its people into hiding. It can only face this drought and the extreme disasters that come with it."
After the leader said this, he looked at the captains of the various ability teams sitting below, as if he wanted to analyze their inner thoughts from the emotions on their faces.
"So when necessary, we need to enter those opened doors and enter the secret realm to obtain resources?"
Captain Dai was the first to think of this and also said it out loud.
"Yes. With the onset of drought, even if we try our best to save the crops, the crops we plant won't mature quickly.
Coupled with the previous rainy season and snow disaster, there has been no large-scale harvest for such a long time.
Right now, all the major bases are living off their savings, and they're about to run out of money. With the drought that's coming, it's foreseeable that growing food will be impossible."
When the leader said this, worry was evident on his face.
They have survived so many disasters and cannot die because of food shortage!
"Yes, I see. According to the above plan, do we still need to bring some seeds into the secret realm, sow them, and let them grow freely?"
Although they cannot be taken care of all the time, one good thing is that there is abundant spiritual energy in the secret realm. Even if some of them are eaten by mutant animals, most of them will be left.
Perhaps, because of the spread of those mutant animals, they will gain more.
"That's right. We don't know the exact time when the doors to those secret realms will open, and we can't guarantee that we can enter the secret realm stably. So, can we guarantee that we can bring water and food out within the time limit after entering?"
After they came out of the secret realm, they began to pay attention to the news about those gates.
As far as we know, the secret realm was closed shortly after they came out, and it has not been opened until now.
Of course, the mutated animals and plants that entered and did not come out were not in their original territory during this period.
"Leader, we know about those videos we brought out last time. How is the research going at the research institute? Where are those people from?"
With the previous topic and the results, they will venture into the secret realm to get food and water resources, but they need to know the specific time of the secret realm.
The second sentence, however, is about who to be on guard against in the future.
They could enter the secret realm they explored before, but it was obvious that not only the monks on Blue Star could enter, but also people from other worlds could enter. Similarly, it could be speculated that the secret realms in other places were like the one they entered, and that people from other worlds could enter as well.
When the news of other people in the secret realm was brought back, the entire research institute was shocked, and most researchers related to this field were rushing to join the newly launched research projects.
But after such a long time, they still haven't been able to come up with any results.
"That video you brought was great. Some scholars have already analyzed a portion of it. From their fragmentary words, we can confirm that they are not currently living on Blue Planet, eliminating the speculation that they are living in some folded space on Blue Planet.
They should also be related to Blue Star. Their language system is very similar to ours, and there are some accents that we can understand."
When I heard Captain Dai asking about the situation, I knew they would continue this mission later.
In addition, Captain Dai and his team were part of the confidentiality process, and there was nothing that could not be said, so the leader simply told them everything he knew.
Related to Blue Star...
