The forward base of the fortress is simple but not simple. Before entering the camp, guards set up checkpoints to verify and register the personnel's identities. Here, it is basically impossible to sneak in.
After Tianyang and the Yun family's teams met, Yun Yang handed over the pass. Out of respect for the upper five families, the teams of the five families, including the Yun family, do not need to go through the cumbersome procedures.
You only need to register the information of the tour leader to enter the camp through a special passage, which makes people queuing up not far away envious.
After entering the camp, it can be seen that there are many traces of war remnants on the defense fortifications throughout the base, and some engineers are stepping up repairs. It can be seen that there may not be many ghost waves like before, but this base is by no means peaceful.
In addition to the engineers repairing the base, there are also medical soldiers carrying stretchers. Many of the stretchers are covered with white cloth, and there are quite a few stretchers like this.
At this time, there were shouts from the front, and a convoy drove out from the hinterland of the base. The soldiers in the front car were shouting for pedestrians to get out of the way.
Those magnetic energy vehicles are pulling large-scale warning equipment, which should be used to replace units that were damaged in the previous battle. This is the top priority of the base. Even a person like Yunfeng, who is known as the "straight road", is going there at this time. Yield to one side and let the convoy pass smoothly.
Under the instructions of the base guards, several teams came to the rest area designated for the Yun family. It was said to be a rest area, which was just a few tents. After Yunfeng left the words "free activities", he left first.
Tianyang rested for a while, went out of the tent alone, and walked around the base at will. Not far from the family rest area, there is a base plan, which not only marks the various facilities of the base, but also lists which military areas are important and which are restricted areas.
Tianyang took a few more glances, and after memorizing the entire base layout, he walked towards the information release area, where you can see the latest news about the secret realm.
On the way, the boy discovered that although there were many night crawlers in the base, the main force in the base was still Storm.
The entrances and exits of many important military areas and restricted areas are guarded by Storm guards. The racks of fifth-generation three-dimensional weapons are definitely not for display. When necessary, they can provide force deterrence.
"Lieutenant Tianyang."
While walking, he heard someone calling, and the young man stopped. Looking back, he saw someone trotting up quickly.
The person who came was very young, around twenty-four or five years old, with a shy smile on his face.
Tianyang immediately remembered that he was one of the members of the Purple Dragon team, an elemental heart named 'Sui An'.
"Are you going to the information release area? I just wanted to go there and have a look. Can I go with you?"
Sui An asked cautiously.
Tianyang smiled calmly: "Of course, and this base is not my home. Wherever you want to go, you don't need my permission, right?"
Sui An scratched his head in embarrassment: "Because capable people don't seem to be that easy to approach, just like Young Master Yunfeng..."
The two communicated casually. Fortunately, Sui An was not a talkative person, which made Tianyang, who didn't like noisy things, feel good about getting along.
If he was as enthusiastic and talkative as Wuhen, the boy would probably try to escape...
Arriving near the information release area, Tianyang discovered that there were many "foreigners" in the base. This was based on their appearance, accent, and habits.
For example, those tall and strong men with thick hair and almost all have big beards, most of them come from the Alpine Fort.
There are also those who are gorgeously dressed, handsome, both men and women, and all behave elegantly. They are most likely from the Twilight Castle.
In addition, there are people who have tattoos all over their bodies and even faces, there are also enchanting women who are scantily clad with just a few strips of cloth, and there are even people who are wearing a lot of strange equipment...
At a glance, these people knew that they were not from Qingtian Castle, or from people near the bay area. Tianyang felt strange. Could it be that the secret realm also opened the right to explore to people outside the fortress
"There are so many ascendants outside the castle. It seems that many families have invested their money in exploring this secret realm." Sui An sighed next to him.
Only then did Tianyang understand.
It turns out that these 'strangers' were hired by the family to enter the secret realm.
After the Fortress War, Qingtian Castle was on the rise, attracting more and more outsiders.
With the increase in outsiders, in addition to injecting a lot of new blood into the fortress, other families will also pay good wages to hire these outsiders to work for their own families.
Just like this exploration of the secret realm, some families' sublimation backgrounds are somewhat inferior or insufficient. Just hire outsiders to form a team, led by elites from your own family, and enter the secret realm.
After all, not everyone has a profound foundation like the Yun family and the Bai family, and can produce twenty or thirty mid-to-high-level sublimators.
As a result, there are so many outsiders in this forward base.
Entering the press area, Tianyang could already feel that the atmosphere in the press area was a bit subtle.
The 'aboriginals' of Qingtian Castle are somewhat hostile to outsiders, which is understandable. When there are more outsiders, competition will definitely intensify. This is related to everyone's future and money. Naturally, no one has a good impression of outsiders.
On the other side, the outsiders wanted to be taken seriously by the senior officials of the fortress, or the senior officials of the families they served. Many outsiders showed their sharpness, and their aggressive eyes were turned on the 'original residents' like Tianyang.
Sui An was only a level 3 elemental heart with slightly weaker strength. After being glanced at by many eyes with a hint of malice, he unconsciously approached Tianyang.
Tianyang didn't care, and didn't care at all about these looks. Having been in and out of the reverse world many times, and even coming into contact with ancient existences like the 'Splitters', how could the young man take these things to heart
At this time, the latest news about the secret realm was being updated on the virtual screen in the release area.
After entering the secret realm, the fortress took the lead in launching an exploration. Currently, there is a map covering an area of hundreds of kilometers, and the jungle that has only grown in recent days almost fills this map.
The fortress named this jungle the 'Scarlet Forest'. Just hearing this name, you know that the environment of this jungle is definitely not simple.
In the Scarlet Forest, there are currently two landmarks, the Blood Cliff and the Bone Pond.
Looking at the two landmark names on the virtual screen, even the 'experienced' Tianyang felt a little uncomfortable.
The naming of this 'Netherworld Secret Realm' has already revealed its horror from the side.
There is a fist-sized dark area outside the map, with only a gray-white castle pattern inside, symbolizing the nameless city mentioned in the previous intelligence.
It is also the final destination of this exploration. In addition, there are multiple arrow marks on the map, showing the current advancement route of the fortress.
The areas traveled by these routes are all different, but the arrows point to the black area.
While looking at the virtual screen, Tianyang suddenly heard the news and instinctively took a step back.
A figure flashed before his eyes, and a middle-aged man fell at his feet. The man's temples were slightly yellow, there was blood on the corners of his mouth, and there was a bruise on his cheek.
Looking around, expressions of anger, shame, etc. appeared on his face.
At this moment, a voice with a strong nasal voice and an accent that was obviously not from the Bay Area sounded: "It's okay, it's okay. Blame me, blame me. I didn't expect that the Ascendant of Qingtian Castle was so vulnerable, and he accidentally confiscated it. Come back and you will fly."
"Come on, come on, let me take a look. Don't worry, if you are injured, I will definitely be responsible for healing you."
As soon as this voice sounded, Tianyang heard a cold snort. Apparently, this person's words had caused dissatisfaction among the residents of the fortress.
Tianyang was also very curious, where did this fool come from, and dared to openly mock the ascendants of Qingtian Castle in public.
Even if this is to gain attention, it is too desperate.
Look.
Sure enough, he was an outsider. With his strange clothing, armor, weird hairstyle, and dark red eyes, it was obvious at a glance that he was not from the fortress.
There are several companions behind him, four men and one woman, all dressed in strange clothes and all of them are unruly.
The woman with dark purple lips looked at Tianyang a few more times, and then showed a playful smile.
Tianyang narrowed his eyes slightly, then stretched out his hand and gave the middle-aged man a hand: "Are you okay?"
The middle-aged man stood up, shook his head, sighed again, and then walked into the crowd silently.
Originally, this episode should have ended here, and Tianyang did not intend to steal the spotlight. There are many people who deal with fools like this.
It's a pity that the tree was about to be quiet but the wind didn't stop. He probably felt that the sun was pulling the middle-aged man's movements and fell on his face. The man named Tie Zhen screamed: "Hey, the white hair over there is You, little dwarf. What’s going on? There’s no one in Qingtian Castle now, so a brat like you is going to go to the battlefield?”
Tianyang didn't want to talk to him at all, and said to Sui An: "Go back, there is nothing good to see."
Tie Zhen, who had just made a big splash, saw that the young man was completely ignoring him and treating himself like air. He suddenly spurted out a stream of heat from his nostrils, strode forward, and reached out to catch it.
What he caught was not the shoulder or the arm, but Tianyang’s head! And when the five fingers were pressed hard, the blood vessels in the arms swelled, obviously a lot of strength was used!
What's more, this man had a ferocious smile on his face, as if he had seen Tianyang's head being crushed under his five claws.
Of course, he didn't dare to openly kill people in the base, he just wanted to give the young man a show of strength. However, it was an indisputable fact that he was full of malice.
Sui An, who was walking next to him, was about to remind him when he suddenly felt a breeze blowing on his face and the young man had disappeared before his eyes.
Tie Zhen caught the mistake and was stunned for a moment, and then heard someone sneer behind him.
Turning around suddenly, he saw Tianyang's back to him and he was taking two steps forward. Then he threw something on the ground like trash.
That's an arm!
Tie Zhen was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the hand looked familiar, and he suddenly looked at his left hand.
The left arm was broken off at some point.
The cut surface is smooth, and the tight muscles and white bones can be seen. After a moment, a bloody arrow spurted out.
Dots of blood droplets sprinkled on the ground, scarlet and dazzling!
