Yang He was the only person besides Bai Zijin who knew about Bingyu Chan. As a researcher at the Strange Demon Research Institute, his doubts attracted everyone's attention.
"What's wrong?" Ai Jianghe asked.
"Whether it is from the geographical environment here or from the species distribution in Yunhai Peak, it is impossible for the Ice Feather Cicada to be stupid enough to settle here, not to mention that this is an Ice Feather Cicada group with two leaders, and Not a little nest.”
"What does Researcher Yang mean?"
"I can only say that from the instinct of demons, it should be the best solution for the Ice Feather Cicada to stay in the territory of the Red Scale Earth King, and they have always been like this before. But this year they have appeared here, unless their entire group They have all mutated, otherwise there would be external forces adding fuel to the fire."
After a moment of pause, Yang He slowly came to a conclusion.
"Perhaps there are more powerful beings who forcibly placed them here. I think Ai Juntong should have seen a lot of this kind of thing, right?"
"..."
The entire team undoubtedly felt a little heavier because of Yang He's words.
The person who can place the leader of the tribe so casually must be a monarch after all, right?
And the geographical location of Yunhai Peak...
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 303 Closing the mountain?
"If Yang He's guess is correct...then there should be some beings who don't want humans to go deep into Hengshan Mountain."
Bai Zijin pondered, thinking aloud, with a slightly serious look on his face.
"Yunhai Peak is almost the only choice for Lucheng mages to go deep into Hengshan Mountain. If the Ice Feather Cicada tribe blocks the road to Yunhai Peak, then basically no mage will go deep into Hengshan Mountain this winter."
Before Yang He raised the question, no one had thought deeply about the strangeness of the Ice Feather Cicada group. Everyone just lamented that it was bad luck to encounter the Ice Feather Cicada group this year.
After Yang He, the demon expert, raised it, everyone started to pay attention to this issue, and Bai Zijin, who knew Hengshan best, also immediately grasped the key to the problem.
Yes!
With Yunhai Peak locked, the deeper Hengshan area can only be entered from the Yangcheng side. But if the same method is followed in Yangcheng and the entrance is blocked, then the depths of Hengshan Mountain will be completely isolated from the outside world.
In this case, there will be too many changes that can happen throughout the winter, and they will be too uncontrollable. Maybe once this winter is over, the landscape of Hengshan will change drastically.
But this is just speculation at the moment. If they want to verify whether it is true, everyone can only move on.
As for reporting back?
If only one person is sent back, then only Nan Yi, Ai Jianghe and Bai Zijin should be able to return alone.
But these three are indispensable. If one person is missing, it will not be possible to continue further.
It is even more unnecessary for the whole team to give up and go back to report the news.
Everyone is just guessing now, without really strong evidence, and the Yangcheng Military Department can also do this kind of guessing, and they can do better as they are more professional.
Because of the magic stone, Yangcheng's development of Hengshan is relatively complete.
If there really are some powerful beings who deliberately want to block Hengshan, then the key entrance to Yangcheng will definitely be blocked as well. But if this is the case, it is impossible for the Yangcheng Military Department not to notice.
Therefore, the only right choice is to continue to delve deeper.
With the configuration of everyone, even if they meet Ya Jun, there is nothing they can do.
As for the monarch?
Lucheng and Yangcheng have developed Hengshan together for so many years, and they still have a fairly clear idea of the distribution of monarchs in Hengshan, and the information is only a few months off at most.
However, this kind of error usually occurs when a new monarch occurs, and the probability of this situation is extremely low. Moreover, even if it does happen, the new monarch will rarely take the initiative to add three to the six high-ranking monarchs because their power is not yet stable. The leader acted rashly, so this was an acceptable risk.
"Keep moving forward. The next stop is Nantianmen. Let's try to find a camping spot for tonight along the way." Ai Jianghe said towards the southwest.
That's right.
Everyone is not far from Zhurong Peak. After passing the next landmark, Nantianmen, and continuing deeper in the northwest direction, we will reach Zhurong Peak, which everyone has been thinking about.
Yang He was responsible for accelerating this trip, and everyone followed behind.
The cloud sea peak behind him became smaller and smaller as time went by, and finally completely disappeared from sight when the moon became dark in the night.
The bonfire roared.
Everyone sat in a circle and ate the game they had finally caught.
"By the way, didn't that team of hunters say there was some kind of thunder pond near Nantianmen? Do we want to stop by and have a look?" Bai Zijin asked casually as he tore into a big mouthful of venison.
This is the information given to everyone by the hunter team that was attacked by the giant tusk splitting pig a few days ago, but the authenticity has not yet been verified.
"I can do it." Yang He said with a smile, as if he was traveling with friends and listened to his friends' arrangements.
"If you find anything along the way, go take a look. If you don't find anything, forget it. How about that?" Jiang Shaojun made a compromise suggestion.
"I'll follow everyone." Lian Xishan usually followed Jiang Shaojun's opinion at times like this.
"I will follow Senior Sister." Nan Yi also smiled slightly, but Nan Yi wanted to go to Leichi mainly because he wanted to see if there was any suitable opportunity for Chu Qingxuan.
Finally, after gathering everyone's wishes, Ai Jianghe agreed with Jiang Shaojun's idea.
"Everyone, let's go to bed early."
The sky is exceptionally clear tonight and the stars are shining brightly.
The group of people between Nantianmen and Yunhai Peak rested early, but another wild place under the same starry sky was extremely tense.
"Fire element phalanx!"
A powerful shout resounded and echoed across a valley. However, only a sound mage could transmit such a far distance with a human voice.
After hearing this order, a phalanx of several hundred people began to directly connect to the fiery red star trails, and the cold environment warmed up a little, but only a little.
"Fire! Explode!"
For a moment, shards of fire exploded and shot towards the same target, illuminating the valley clearly and making it possible to see the situation clearly.
This is a small mountain road surrounded by mountains on both sides. Only the front and back are clear. There is not even a river nearby. Under the white snow and ice, there is enough ice and snow to submerge ankles.
And now an entire army of thousands of people squeezed into this not-so-large mountain road, and what they faced was the target of the fire attack, which was a group of ice feather cicadas!
However, what is different from what Nan Yi and the others encountered in the afternoon is that at this moment, the ice elemental storm brewing by these ice feather cicadas is almost complete.
Pieces of snowflakes eroded the bodies of the military mages, and the hundreds of fires were like sparks, disappearing into the ice and snow in an instant.
But the ice elemental storm has not been weakened much!
The musical military mage who was responsible for issuing orders at the beginning was not surprised when he saw this, as if everything was under control.
Immediately afterwards, another voice came from behind the musical military mage, accompanied by a powerful magical aura.
"I'll come, you guys are ready to support me."
next moment.
A huge rose-red constellation swept away with a hot breath, protecting everyone from the increasingly serious extreme cold.
The musical military mage also reacted instantly, with purple stars appearing on his body.
"Everyone retreat 200 meters!"
next moment.
The violent fire constellation is completely formed!
"Carbon Flame!"
"Sky Flame Funeral!"
"Hellfire Stone!"
The gathering of fire elements reached its peak, and the fire stone, which symbolized burning everything, broke into the ice element storm in the sky!
This time, the ice elemental storm was no longer monolithic, but instead appeared in an area that could not be covered by ice and snow.
But this situation only lasted for a moment, and the ice and snow began to expand again, trying to erode this group of uninvited guests who broke into their territory.
However, it is obvious that the military department has always been prepared, especially when dealing with old opponents like Bingyu Chan.
"Wind element phalanx!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 304 Yangcheng Military Headquarters
As the voice of the phonetic military mage fell, one after another wind star trails came from all directions.
If someone could overlook this battlefield from a God's perspective at this time, they would find that the positions of these wind mages do not seem to be completely randomly distributed across the mountains and plains, but follow some special rules.
next moment.
Countless star tracks were successfully connected, and many unwelcome winds suddenly appeared in the cold wind.
"Wind track! Piaoying!"
You can vaguely hear the roars of the military mages coming from the top of the mountain, the slopes and even below the mountain.
That’s an unquenchable fighting spirit!
This straggler, who seemed to be even weaker than the fire of the military mages of the previous fire element phalanx, seemed to be swallowed up by the ice element storm in the center the next moment.
But no one panicked, and everyone looked as usual, as if the military mages of the wind phalanx were not sending out hundreds of elementary magics, but high-level magics all over the sky!
next moment.
The ice elemental storm collided with the snake-like wind track, but the imaginary overwhelming engulfment did not happen!
Such an ordinary elementary wind magic turned into a thin rope that seemed unbreakable at this moment, dividing the huge thing in front of him!
This scene undoubtedly shocked the commander headed by Bing Yuchan. Before this scene happened, he might have imagined that monarch-level demons or super-level mages would break their ice elemental storms, but he never thought about this pile of nothing. The inconspicuous primary wind track can pose a threat to one's own race!
The originally arrogant ice elemental storm that tried to swallow everything began to weaken and shrink towards the inside!
Looking at this posture, I'm afraid it will completely dissipate soon!
The four leaders of the Ice Feather Cicada tribe were also very anxious, but they themselves were like ants on a hot pot, unable to take care of themselves.
In order to deal with them, this group of humans also dispatched a total of eight high-level mages, and they were all the best who had experienced hundreds of battles, not the kind of soft-legged shrimps who only knew some three-legged cat kung fu.
In addition, there are also those elementary ants who can also fight in square formations to support them.
The situation gradually became clearer, and the battle lines of the military mages gradually shrank inward and began to clean up the Ice Feather Cicada group.
As the Ice Feathered Cicadas, whose actual combat power was not very strong, fell under the waves of elementary magic, the massive ice elemental storm was also completely wiped out.
As for the battlefield at high altitude, the situation was almost the same.
Although the Ice Feather Cicada group here is led by four Ice Feather Cicadas, they are facing military commanders from the Yangcheng Military Department. Each of them has fought against the Ice Feather Cicada group at least a dozen times. , coupled with years of research by the military, they may know the weaknesses of Ice Feather Cicada better than Ice Feather Cicada herself.
Under the various targeted measures of the military commanders, even though no Ice Feather Cicada leader has been killed yet, they have all lost the possibility of escaping.
Death is only a matter of time.
If Bai Zijin saw this, he would probably sigh why he didn't go to Yangcheng Military Headquarters to learn from it before coming.
The moonlight became clearer and clearer, but it still seemed to be obscured by a little cloud and fog, making it impossible to see clearly. A trace of dimness can already be seen on the distant skyline.
Yangcheng Military Headquarters, Hengshan South Fortress.
A man who was not strong in stature, but very capable, looked away from outside the tent, with no expression on his solemn face.
"Is there any reply from Hengshan North?" The solemn man looked at the civilian staff who walked in quickly.
"Reporting to the Military Division, the northern side of Hengshan has dispatched a scout team to the territory of the Red Scale King. It is expected that there will be news before the day after tomorrow." The civilian personnel saluted and replied truthfully.
"Yes." The solemn man nodded slightly, and then fell into silence again.
After a while, the military commander with a solemn temperament spoke again.
"Let Li Rui do it."
"Yes!"
The civilian staff responded and immediately left the tent.
After a while, a greasy-headed man wearing glasses entered the tent, holding a stack of documents in his hand. Moreover, his attire was very similar to that of Yang He, so he must be a researcher directly under the military department.
"how is the progress?"
"Reporting to the Military Division, although all the leyline data have not been completely analyzed yet, according to the analyzed data, the Hengshan Mountain leyline has been faintly declining since three years ago. However, because the trend was too small, it was attributed to for normal energy dissipation.”
