Since only he recognizes this beauty, then it belongs to him.
He reached out and put his arm around Fei's waist: "Get down."
As the wings, gleaming silver in the sunlight, suddenly unfurled, Jiang Xu felt his body lighten.
A gust of wind blew towards them, carrying yellow sand. He quickly turned his head and closed his mouth and eyes.
The feeling of weightlessness lasted only a few seconds before he felt his feet touching solid ground.
Jiang Xu opened his eyes, and the view of the valley floor appeared before him.
The landscape was desolate and barren, with jagged, broken stones scattered everywhere, ranging in size from several insects to fists, creating a scene of utter desolation.
The wind whipped up the scattered yellow sand between the rocks, and he felt a strong, suppressed smell of earth forcefully enter his lungs.
The place was devastated, and even the birds circling overhead refused to stay there.
Jiang Xu couldn't help but cough twice, breaking the vast silence.
Seeing this, Fei immediately took out a handkerchief he always carried and handed it to him: "My lord, here."
Jiang Xu glanced at the handkerchief; due to the passage of time, many loose threads had appeared around the edges.
Even so, the handkerchief was still neatly folded, showing how much the female insect cherished it.
"You use it."
"I don't need it. This little bit of dust poses no threat to the female soldiers." Fei handed the handkerchief in her hand to Jiang Xu a little more: "You're not in good health."
"......" Jiang Xu was speechless. It wasn't that he was weak, but that these female insects had such extraordinary physical constitutions.
However, he couldn't say those words.
He didn't try to deny it too much; the sandstorm below was indeed making it difficult for him to breathe.
He took the handkerchief, gently covered his mouth and nose, and walked towards the location he had determined.
He walked to the edge, looked up and glanced at the approximate location above, confirming that it was indeed the gravel ground beneath his feet.
He began to use the ground beneath his feet as the center, slowly searching outwards for any possible clues.
"My lord, do you need my help?" Fei looked at Jiang Xu, who seemed to be searching for something. Since the other party did not ask him to do anything, Fei could only stand there and stare at him blankly.
Jiang Xu waved his hand, checking the cracks in the rocks without even looking up: "Find a place to sit for a while. I'll call you if I need anything."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Fei had no choice but to turn around and walk to the nearest rock, brush the sand off it, and sit down.
Jiang Xu glanced at it, then looked up at the top of the cliff, where Jiang Mian's blood-stained clothes appeared.
He remembered the records showing a large amount of blood on his clothes; if it was all on him, it would have been a lethal dose.
Therefore, it's impossible for someone to fall from such a high cliff and still send a message to the contact center.
This logic is flawed.
Jiang Xu coldly looked at this land, overturning all his previous assumptions.
The clothes were likely thrown up there by insects after Jiang Mian fell off the cliff.
But why would the other party go to such lengths to do this?
What he hadn't considered before was that this was a Zerg area, and Zerg females could fly!
What could possibly motivate them to go to such lengths?
Jiang Xu rested his elbow on his other hand, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and tilted his head slightly as he looked at the ground in front of him.
After thinking for a while, I still couldn't come up with any clues.
He turned his head to look at the farther and wider area behind him, where the records showed blood that had long since dried and been buried underground.
"Let's walk a bit further ahead." Jiang Xu turned and extended a hand to Fei.
Fei hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand on it and replied in a cool voice, "Mm."
The soles of the shoes crushed the gravel and yellow sand with a crisp sound.
After walking a few steps, he asked again, "Didn't you find it?"
Jiang Xu looked at him and suddenly felt like laughing: "Do you know what I'm doing?"
Fei remained silent; the other party had not told him, so he did not know.
Jiang Xu already knew the answer from his expression, and continued teasingly, "Don't you know and you're still keeping me company? Aren't you bored?"
"Not boring at all," Fei replied quickly, finding it enjoyable to be by his side.
"The place where my great-grandfather last appeared is very likely here." Jiang Xu explained, looking at the rubble in front of him, "He didn't die. He's just not in this world for some reason."
I came here this time to see if he left any clues, any clues that could bring him back.
"Then, I'll look for them together later. Every extra bug helps." Fei nodded, thought for a moment, and then tilted his head to answer.
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow. How could this female insect accept it so naturally, even faster than his female grandfather? "You don't think I'm talking nonsense?"
The fact that it doesn't even exist in this world is already incredible.
Moreover, he was talking about his grandfather, who had passed away more than 20 years ago.
"I believe everything you say."
"..." Jiang Xu looked at him seriously and said, "You'd better be more careful. Don't get sold out and then help others bargain."
"I believe you won't harm me," Fei said.
"......" Jiang Xu.
He himself wasn't sure about this, yet this female insect trusted him so much.
He turned to look at him, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Is this the female insect's blind obedience to the male insect?
"Fine," Jiang Xu turned back and released the other person's hand. "I'll look around here first. You..." He hesitated, glancing behind him. "Sit there and keep watch. I'll call you if anything comes up."
Fei didn't move. He had just said that they would look for it together, but Jiang Xu still told him to sit down.
"Don't overthink it." Jiang Xu's hand stroked his back, slowly sliding down to the spot where he had been tired the night before. "You need to rest more."
Fei's previously calm face instantly turned completely red, and she stammered, "I, I, I'm not tired."
"Good boy." Jiang Xu patted his head and said in a gentle voice, "Be good."
A deep, resonant male voice entered Fei's ears, and before she knew it, Fei was led by him to sit on a nearby rock.
A smile flashed in Jiang Xu's eyes. He realized that this insect seemed to have no resistance to him like this.
He then turned around and looked around.
This was the second location he speculated about. Based on the message left by Jiang Mian, he was definitely at the bottom of the cliff.
Human writing can only come from humans, which naturally eliminates the possibility of other insects impersonating and sending messages.
Based on the principle of parabolic curves, this area is also a possible range, but the probability is not as high as the previous area.
This area is more chaotic, with many pebbles about half an arm's length in size. Larger pebbles are much less common, while finer yellow sand and fist-sized pebbles are more abundant and fragmented.
He can no longer rely solely on his eyesight to find things.
He looked around, trying to find a handy tool that could help him search.
However, even grass is scarce here, let alone things like sticks.
Thinking about it, his gaze suddenly stopped on Fei. If he wasn't mistaken, female soldiers should all carry a weapon for self-defense.
