Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 425: The style of painting is mutated

Views:

The next morning, Shang Jianyao shared what happened in the dream to the other members of the "Old Tune Group".

"Where does Xiaochong live?" Jiang Baimian was quite surprised.

That street belongs to the Red Giant Wolf District, close to the Golden Apple District, and far away from the Green Olive District.

This is not in line with Jiang Baimian's previous speculations.

Of course, the premise of her speculations is that the outbreak of "wuxin disease" in the Green Olive District is related to Xiaochong, but this is only a hypothesis.

"Maybe it moved here recently." Bai Chen gave another possibility.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:

"we'll talk about it then."

She then smiled and said:

"We have completed one of the three major tasks in the mountains on the north bank this time, and one of the remaining two has seen hope of success."

What she means is that the task of finding out the whereabouts of Xiaochong by finding the Nightmare Horse is now complete, and the task of catching the white wolf and paying the debt, although the previous part, that is, catching the white wolf, has not been done, but the wasteland 13 The "rich mine" of No. Relic has allowed them to quickly accumulate a lot of valuable materials and books. If they go to explore again, there should be no problem. At most, they can fill in part of the funds approved by the company, and since they can still owe Debt, it doesn't matter whether you can catch the white wolf or not.

Anyway, this kind of hunter quest with unlimited numbers and no mandatory constraints will not affect their credit even if they fail to complete it.

The only task that has not yet dawned is to find the relic hunter Ferrinton who knows the Mirror Sect.

And this can be incorporated into the ruins of the third exploration wasteland No. 13, because Ferrinton may have strayed into the ruins of the city.

In short, if all goes well, explore there one more time, and the "old tune group" can return to the original city and catch up with the gladiatorial competition that follows.

In the evening, "Pangu creatures" returned the telegram:

"The current plan is very safe, just need to pay attention to one thing:

"Don't go within a kilometer of that station..."

"One kilometer?" Jiang Baimian couldn't help complaining, "The company is really, squeezing toothpaste? We explored it once, and they only squeezed out a little new information."

At this time, Genova found a contradiction:

"If you just don't go within one kilometer of the 'Road and Electrical Maintenance' station, then the regular army of 'First City' will not just stay outside and not explore the ruins of Wasteland No. 13."

"Maybe it's just that we didn't explore the area we went to." Bai Chen helped to think about the reason.

At this time, Jiang Baimian sighed and said:

"I haven't finished translating yet."

"..." Bai Chen was a little embarrassed.

This made Long Yuehong almost laugh, but fortunately he held back, and Shang Jianyao didn't applaud for it.

Jiang Baimian continued to translate:

"And don't go beyond the area delineated by the exploration plan."

After reading, she smiled:

"so… "

The answer is obvious, there are other dangers elsewhere in the ruins of Wasteland 13.

The next day, at the old time, a total of eight humans from the two teams came to the open metal gate again.

Looking at the overgrown park outside, Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:

"Other notices, everyone should be very clear, I will only emphasize one point now:

"No matter what the harvest is, no matter whether there is still a target area unexplored, once you spend more than an hour and a half in the ruins, you must go back.

"I think everyone doesn't want to kill themselves in various ways like the relic hunters who were brought here by the white wolf?"

The one-and-a-half hour rule is because the last time they explored, they stayed for one and a half hours in total, and they were not affected. Therefore, it can be extended a little, and the cost of returning is calculated.

"Okay." Waite responded immediately, as if Jiang Baimian was the leader of their hunter team, not Wang Fugui.

Gray, Fars, and Wang Fugui glanced at each other, and all said that this was what they thought.

The "Old Tune Group" has naturally communicated this issue for a long time, and there is no objection.

The two teams exited the metal gate one after another and entered the park.

This time, they went the other way.

Jiang Baimian and others did not ignore the inspection of the surrounding environment to look for possible traces of human activities.

And there is no small possibility that this belongs to the target hunter, Felinton.

Fully armed, they walked, and Jiang Baimian, who had the best eyes, stopped.

She pointed at the lower side with the muzzle:

"Someone should have walked by there."

Following her gaze, Shang Jianyao and others saw the fallen weeds.

This goes all the way, forming a "road".

However, because of the hot summer and no rain recently, the soil was relatively dry, and there were no obvious footprints left on that "road".

"I don't know when it was left... but it won't be long." Bai Chen made a judgment based on experience.

Jiang Baimian nodded and looked at Wang Fugui and the others:

"Come and see

"Anyway, the direction coincides with our target area."

At the same time, she secretly prayed in her heart:

Hope it's Felineton.

Wang Fugui and others are indispensable, and are willing to respect the choice of the "old tune group".

The two teams changed their direction slightly and walked out of the park step by step along the fallen weeds and onto the street.

Here the fallen leaves are silted and rotten, and some places are sheltered from direct sunlight. Therefore, the roads on both sides are not so dry and cracked, and even appear soft and rotten.

This allowed Jiang Baimian and the others to find some footprints.

"The sole pattern is normal...about 1.7 meters tall...the weight is light...the traces should be left only today..." Jiang Baimian gave a preliminary judgment after comparing several sets of footprints after simple calculation.

She was a little disappointed in this.

This should not be Felinetong.

"I just stayed today..." Wang Fugui frowned slightly, "Is there anyone else who knows that the cave leads here? I warned Ron and Harrison not to leak it. Normally, before we leave, They dare not sell this information."

Ron was the guide before the "Old Tune Group", and Harrison was with the lone hunter team.

"Go and have a look." Shang Jianyao enthusiastically put forward suggestions.

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yuehong pointed to a place not too far away and said:

"There's smoke there."

The others looked over one after another, and saw somewhere in front of them, where they were blocked by several buildings, there was a bluish-gray smog wafting up, not too dense, but rather thin.

"It's about a kilometer away from here." Jiang Baimian gave a rough judgment.

"Is the weather too hot and the air too dry to cause spontaneous combustion?" Solo hunter Gray guessed.

The temperature has been quite high these two days, and he felt very comfortable. Although he was still wrapped in leather, he no longer shivered.

"It may also be the person who came in today." Bai Chen glanced at the footprints by the road.

"Go and have a look." Shang Jianyao urged everyone again.

No one objected.

For them, going there to take a look does not affect their collection of materials, there are many things along the way.

While collecting and walking, they turned into another street, bypassed the buildings, and their eyes were bright.

Ahead is a small square with a pool.

In the middle of the square stands a slender obelisk with a cross on top.

This is the more common Old World thing in the Red River Basin.

Next to the obelisk, on the railing of the pool, stood a lot of thick incense sticks, and they made the bluish-gray smoke.

Facing these incense sticks was a woman in a gray-blue Taoist robe.

She was blond and blue-eyed, very beautiful.

"Daoist Galolan!" Shang Jianyao shouted, a kind of excitement of meeting old friends in a foreign land.

That woman was Galoran, a Taoist priest of the "Eternal Age" sect that the "Old Tunes Group" met in the Black Marsh wilderness.

She is from Honghe, born in a noble family in the "First City".

Galoran didn't respond immediately, and bowed slowly in a certain direction.

Then, she turned around calmly and looked at Shang Jianyao and the others.

A slight smile appeared on her face, and she hugged her right hand with her left hand and raised it to her eyebrows.

Bending deeply, she opened her mouth and said:

"Blessed immeasurable Tianzun, we met again, this is the arrangement of fate, this is where the Tao is."

When chanting the name, she used the gray earth language, but because there were people from Honghe, she later switched to the red river language.

Seeing Wang Fugui and others were a little stunned, Jiang Baimian took a few steps forward and said with a smile:

"Master, why did you come here?"

Galolan turned his body sideways and looked at a certain place, not feeling that he had anything to hide, and said:

"My master's master, the former Celestial Master, helped seal a powerful monster here for the 'First City'.

"For that, he sacrificed himself.

"Every time I pass by, I will come in and pay homage to him."

Uh... What Galolan said was so coherent, but Long Yuehong had a sense of absurdity.

That is caused by the destruction of the style of painting!

This is just like Zhou Yue, the former master of Nanke Guan Guan, took the talisman water and the Bagua mirror to deal with the "high-level unintentional people".

The essence of the latter matter is the price paid for the awakened.

Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows and asked thoughtfully:

"Wu Meng?"
