After the task was assigned, Zhu Ke looked around at Xiao Mu and Wang Yuan, and solemnly said: "Guarding the Eastern Wasteland is a heavy responsibility, both of you, I hope we can support each other in critical times."
Wang Yuan snorted, and glanced over Xiao Mu, "I have no problem, but I don't know if this newcomer can hold on."
Xiao Mu felt displeased, and casually refuted, "Elder Wang Dayuan has no problem, and I have no problem."
"Haha, the tone is not small, I hope you really have no problems by then."
Wang Yuan smiled stiffly.
"To each other." Xiao Mu was not polite.
"Okay, both of you." Zhu Ke hurriedly smoothed things over to prevent the two from really having a conflict. "The dispute is the dispute. I hope that the two of you will focus on the overall situation. When you are in trouble with each other, you should not stand by. After all Well, the three of us are one, if anyone has an accident, the other two will not be able to defend the Eastern Wilderness."
"I don't know the importance." Wang Yuan responded casually, his face full of displeasure.
Xiao Mu nodded, but did not continue to say anything.
Afterwards, the three talked about some details and how they connected with each other, and then flew away separately.
And Xiao Mu, led by Qiao Zhong, flew all the way to the north.
After that, for quite a long period of time, he felt that he was going to guard the eastern wilderness and the northern part.
The invasion of the Heavenly Court, the eastern desolation and the northern part, is bound to be very dangerous. With his strength, he may not be able to defend it, but fortunately, before leaving, Kamikaze Girl promised to provide him with support at any time, so he is not very worried about himself safety.
Going all the way to the north, after flying for more than a day, we arrived at a vast area.
This huge landform has an area of at least tens of millions of square kilometers and is dominated by mountains, with few plains to be seen.
In fact, the terrain of the Eastern Wilderness itself is more like a broken ancient battlefield. The terrain has long since undergone tremendous changes. There are huge pits, huge mountains, and huge hills everywhere, which brings people a sense of the original and rare. Human presence.
Qiao Zhong introduced Xiao Mu, "Elder Xiao, this is the northern part of the Eastern Desolation. Here, we have a large formation to monitor the traces of the strong men in the heavenly court. Once a strong man in the heavenly court appears, the large formation will immediately respond. It can let us know the movement of the strong in the heaven in advance, and then make arrangements."
While talking, he pointed to the sky above the northern part of Donghuang.
Xiao Mu raised his head and looked in the direction of Qiao Zhong's finger, and found that in the sky above the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness, there were clusters of shadows, like clouds, and like the refraction of some magic weapon.
And this shadow, the refracted power, directly enveloped the entire northern part of the Eastern Wilderness.
Xiao Mu suddenly felt curious, and he couldn't help asking Qiao Zhong, "Is your arrangement really able to monitor the movement of the powerful in the heaven?"
Qiao Zhong smiled wryly and shook his head, "To be honest with Elder Xiao, at the level of the gods, it's okay, but if it exceeds the level of the gods and reaches the righteous gods, it will be completely useless."
"oh!"
Xiao Mu snorted, noncommittal. According to Qiao Zhong's statement, Donghuang's so-called large-scale surveillance actually doesn't make much sense.
Ordinary spirit powerhouses can be easily dealt with by him, but whether they can monitor or not is actually of little significance. But for Xiao Mu, it is difficult for Xiao Mu to deal with the strong gods, and since the big formation cannot be monitored, it means that Xiao Mu does not know when the other party will appear.
"Elder Xiao, please!"
Qiao Zhong stretched out his hand, making a gesture of invitation to Xiao Mu, and at the same time explained, "The residence of the guardian in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness is just below."
Xiao Mu heard the words and looked in the direction of the other's finger again, so he saw a hall.
The whole hall was built on top of a mountain, and at the same time, it was covered up. If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was a strange mountain.
Xiao Mu nodded, landed first, and flew in the direction of the main hall.
Qiao Zhong hurriedly followed.
However, not long after they fell, Xiao Mu discovered that a group of people were heading south under the mountains where the hall was located.
However, the number of this group of people is a bit large, including not only ordinary people, but also powerful people with considerable strength, and some of them have even reached the level of gods.
These people dragged their families with them, flustered, carrying all kinds of supplies, and seemed to be fleeing.
"They, what are they doing?"
Xiao Mu reached out and pointed down, while looking at Qiao Zhong.
Qiao Zhong looked down, smiled wryly, and said shamelessly, "Old Man Xiao, these are all fleeing."
"Fleeing? Why are you fleeing?"
"well!"
Qiao Zhong explained with a sigh, "Heavenly powerhouses have descended and wantonly harvested the lives of ordinary people. In our Eastern Wilderness, everyone is in danger now. Even, not only ordinary people, but even some powerful people have begun to flee. To be honest Elder Xiao Dayuan, recently, in the northern part of the Eastern Desolation, there have been as many as a dozen powerful gods fleeing, and ordinary Yin gods, the number of fugitives is hundreds or thousands."
Xiao Mu was at a loss for words, thought for a while, and then asked, "Didn't you think of stopping it?"
"stop?"
Qiao Zhong smiled wryly, "They are all fleeing people, how can we stop them? Besides, it is really dangerous for the invasion of the heavenly courts in the north and the east, and everyone's life is not guaranteed. We stop them, what reason do we use to stop them? ? Don’t hide it from Elder Xiao…”
As he said that, Qiao Zhong smiled bitterly, "If I hadn't been a member of the alliance, I'm afraid I would have escaped like everyone else. Just because I am a member of the alliance, others can escape, but I cannot. I must stay and guard Donghuang. "
Xiao Mu looked at Qiao Zhong, and didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. It was shameful that Qiao Zhong had the idea of running away, but he said it openly, and Xiao Mu couldn't blame him. The idea of running away, but choosing to stay and stick to it, Xiao Mu felt that he should be praised.
Therefore, for a while, facing Qiao Zhong, he felt complicated emotions and didn't know what to say.
After thinking about it, I had no choice but to change the topic, "Where are these fleeing people going to go?"
"where?"
Qiao Zhong smiled wryly and said: "Those who have connections try to escape from the Eastern Desolation and return to the human world. Those who have no connections flee to the central part of the Eastern Desolation. In any case, the central part of the Eastern Desolation is safer than other places."
Xiao Mu nodded, pondered for a moment, he didn't have any good strategy for the people fleeing from the Eastern Wilderness, so he said, "Let's go down."
"Elder Xiao, please!"
Qiao Zhong stretched out his hand to greet Xiao Mu to go to the main hall.
Xiao Mu nodded and flew to the main hall first, followed by Qiao Zhong.
Not long after, the two successfully landed on the top of the hall.
"Qin Yuan, Mo Lin, and Elder Xiao Dayuan are here, hurry up and greet them."
Qiao Zhong began to call out the two names loudly.
However, he kept shouting for a long time, and a man slowly flew out from under the hall, a middle-aged man who looked quite haggard.
As soon as the man flew out, he appeared on the top of the hall. He yelled at Qiao Zhong: "Okay, old Qiao, don't shout, I'm coming out. You just said Elder Xiao, where is Elder Xiao?"
As he said that, the man's gaze could not help but fall on Xiao Mu.
The Great Elder, he could tell from the headquarter that he was at the righteous level, but this haggard middle-aged man obviously didn't know Xiao Mu.
And Xiao Mu, taking this opportunity, also swept his eyes over the middle-aged man, and found that this man was at the level of a god, with black energy on his body, and he was undoubtedly a mutant of the reincarnation system.
But at this time, Qiao Zhong started to introduce, "Old Qin, this is Elder Xiao Muxiao, who came from the headquarters, and met Elder Zhu Ke, Elder Wang Yuan, and Elder Wang Yuan not long ago. The three The elders divided the tasks, and the elder Xiao Mu Xiao guarded the north of the Eastern Wilderness. Elder Xiao, this is Qin Yuan, one of the leaders of the Eastern Wilderness."
"Qin Yuan pays his respects to Elder Xiao."
Qin Yuan was obviously not in a good mood, but in his worries, he still stepped forward to salute Xiao Mu and say hello.
"You're welcome." Xiao Mu waved his hand to signal the other party to get up.
"Old Qin, where is Mo Lin? Why don't you come out to meet Elder Xiao?" Qiao Zhong looked around and asked Qin Yuan.
After asking, he turned his head and explained to Xiao Mu, "Old Chief Xiao, there are two chiefs in the Eastern Wilderness and North. Qin Yuan is only one of them, and the other is Mo Lin. Old Qin, where is Mo Lin?"
With that said, Qiao Zhong looked at Qin Yuan again, and asked about the whereabouts of another leader, Mo Lin.
"Old Mo, he is sick and cannot come out to meet him for the time being, please forgive me, Elder Xiao Dayuan."
Before Qin Yuan handed over to Xiao Mu, he seemed to be sincere. However, when he was speaking, Xiao Mu could easily see from his eyes that Qin Yuan was obviously hiding something.
In addition, when this person mentioned that Mo Lin was sick, his eyeballs kept rolling, obviously very disturbed.
Not to mention, as a mutant, especially a mutant at the level of a god, how can he get sick? Even if it is sick, at least the person who curses the system can curse his illness, right? It is absolutely impossible for ordinary diseases to affect such a strong person.
"I got sick?"
Qiao Zhong's expression changed, and he looked at Xiao Mu anxiously while talking.
Based on his experience, he knew clearly that Mo Lin couldn't be sick. Qin Yuan obviously wasn't telling the truth, but he also seemed to want to cover up for Mo Lin, so he smoothed things over and said, "What disease? Is it serious? If it’s not serious, let him come to see Elder Xiao as soon as possible. Starting today, Elder Xiao will be stationed in the northern part of the Eastern Wasteland, so it’s so important, Mo Lin, dare we not come to see him?”
"yes."
Qin Yuan immediately agreed, and said cautiously: "I will notify him immediately."
"Elder Xiao, please!"
After speaking, Qiao Zhong stretched out his hand and invited Xiao Mu to enter the hall.
Xiao Mu nodded. He was a little dissatisfied watching the two acting, but he didn't say much. Entering Donghuang, considering the special situation of Donghuang and the refugees just now, he didn't intend to use the method of cleaning up the defenders of Donghuang to establish his prestige.
In fact, in his opinion, there is no point in standing up in that way.
In the Eastern Wilderness right now, in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness, what everyone fears is the strong man in the heavenly court, and all the actions are done because of the strong man in the heavenly court.
Therefore, for Xiao Mu, if he wanted to truly build up the confidence of the people in Donghuang, he had to have a fight with the strong men in the heaven, and let the people in Donghuang know that he was capable of protecting Donghuang.
Otherwise, no matter how much he punished the Donghuang people, it would be useless.
But even so, he was still a little dissatisfied.
Without saying a word, he entered the hall under the guidance of Qiao Zhong and Qin Yuan.
The guardian hall in the northern part of Donghuang is very large, giving people a very ancient feeling. Qiao Zhong and Qin Yuan guided Xiao Mu in, asked Xiao Mu to sit down, and Qin Yuan called for tea.
However, after Qiao Zhong sat for a short time, he bid farewell to Xiao Mu.
He was just leading the way for Xiao Mu and brought Xiao Mu to Donghuang. Now that the task has been completed, he doesn't plan to stay in Donghuang.
As soon as Qiao Zhong left, only Xiao Mu and Qin Yuan were left in the hall.
Xiao Mu looked at the hall.
This hall originally had a lot of people, but now, it seemed extremely deserted. Just now, Qin Yuan invited people to offer tea, but in the end only a young woman in the yin state came.
And this young woman was the second person Xiao Mu saw besides Qin Yuan in the guarding hall in the northern part of Donghuang, and she was also the only two together with Qin Yuan.
There were actually only two people left in the huge hall. Combined with the large crowds they saw just now, they went down the mountain and fled to the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness. Xiao Mu thought about it casually, and knew that a large number of people had already fled.
He thought for a while before asking Qin Yuan, "How is the recent war in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness?"
As soon as Qin Yuan heard it, deep worry appeared on his face. He didn't answer, but asked Xiao Mu instead, "Old man Xiao, has the headquarters already abandoned us?"
"Crap!"
When Xiao Mu heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He yelled at Qin Yuan angrily, "Where did you hear the nonsense? If the headquarters abandons you, why would you let me come to support you?"
"Yes Yes."
Qin Yuan was obedient and did not dare to refute Xiao Mu, but in the end, he still had the courage to respond, "The headquarters did not give up on us. Of course it is best. We are also very grateful for the support of the elder Xiao Dayuan. As for the recent war situation, it is not optimistic. I heard, I heard, there are rumors that Heavenly Court will soon send a large number of strong men to the lower realms, and the main ones are righteous gods. And these righteous gods may come to any place in the Eastern Wasteland at any time. And we in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness are very likely to be the first to bear the arrival of the powerful heavenly court."
"Is there such a thing?"
Xiao Mu was a little curious.
He did not hear about these situations from Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan. However, before introducing them, Qin Yuan said that they were rumors. Since they are rumors, it means that they may not be absolutely true.
Since it is not absolutely true, it is only natural for Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan not to tell themselves.
"yes."
Qin Yuan nodded, and he responded with some concern: "Not only that, the activities of the strong men in the heavenly court have also been a little more frequent recently. In the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness, from time to time, people are captured or attacked by the strong men in the heavenly court. No idea. So, a lot of people are already affected and worried they'll be next."
"Is this the reason why those ordinary people chose to escape from the northern part of the Eastern Desolation?" After hearing Qin Yuan's words, Xiao Mu immediately thought of something.
"Yes." Qin Yuan nodded worriedly and said, "They're all scared. The people in the Heavenly Court are stronger than us guards. In fact, even we ourselves don't feel safe."
