"Is it an empire? Impossible! I am a descendant of the Holy Blood." Yetong opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
Qianye had already thought it through, and said slowly: "Yongye is not the territory of the empire. We don't go to the core area of the human-occupied area, but only live on the border. There are many mixed-races here, and there are human races with dark force. You just need to hide it well." Blood, if you don't go all out, no one should be able to see that you are a blood."
"Not fighting? Then what do I do every day?"
Qianye looked into Yetong's eyes, smiled and said, "I'm going to fight, you are at home, just wait for me to come back."
"But..." Yetong wanted to argue, but when he saw Qianye's eyes and heard such words, he felt like he was about to melt, and he couldn't say anything.
She buried her face in Qianye's chest, and said softly: "There are no eternal secrets in the world, have you ever thought that one day my identity will be discovered, and it will implicate you at that time."
"If you are discovered, I will take you farther. The world is so big, with twenty-seven continents, there is always a place for us to live."
Yetong didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he said softly with longing, "What kind of life is it?"
Qianye asked with a smile, "Can you cook and do laundry?"
Yetong thought about it seriously, and said uncertainly: "The taste of most of our food is still the same?"
Qianye laughed, Yetong came back to his senses, and poked Qianye hard.
Qianye tightened his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly, and said word by word: "I will definitely protect you."
"Well, I believe you."
The two hugged each other for a while, and then, one behind the other, they searched for the way up, preparing to leave this underground world of caves.
From time to time, violent force fluctuations could be heard from deeper beneath the feet, and sometimes even the entire karst cave passage shook endlessly. It was obvious that there were truly strong men fighting with all their might. Those places where fierce battles took place had one thing in common, as if some great and obscure will was calling. Qianye had personally seen the ancient essence shattered during the Heavenly Ghost War, so he knew clearly that this was the breath of the essence fragments.
At this moment, he broke into a cold sweat, realizing that he and Yetong had really good luck just now.
For some reason, the ancient essence fragment they encountered hadn't been activated all the time, and the breath didn't travel far, so except for Xu Lang, who should happen to be nearby, it didn't disturb anyone else. Otherwise, judging from the momentum of the battles going on in the depths of the cave at this moment, even if the two are in their prime and fight together, the chances of success are not great.
Both Qianye and Yetong had the ability to lurk in bloodlines, they restrained their breath along the way, and passed through the territory of several ferocious beasts without any danger. Even if I ran into a few strong men from Yong Ye and the Empire, the other party was eager to enter the depths to participate in the battle, but they didn't feel that they were carrying anything special, and finally the two sides passed each other without incident.
They returned much faster than when they came, until they were close to the ground, and they encountered some natives and fierce beasts that escaped the net in the outer passage, which was easy for Qianye and Yetong to clean up, and finally they were in a place where they could see The night of the moon left the mountains where the bones of ancient void behemoths were formed.
That eerie forest still looked silent, and the purple-black matrix on the ground was no different from when it came here. It was a little soft to step on, but that was it, and there were no other abnormal reactions.
But both Qianye and Yetong knew that this was just an illusion. Under the purple matrix, an unknown number of bones turned into nutrients and fused into a part of the purple matrix.
Qianye and Yetong kept a distance of 100 meters from each other and continued to advance alternately. At this distance, the two can guarantee that each other is in each other's field of vision, and can detect the enemy in advance under the suppression of the thick fog in the forest. Opponents will probably only be able to see one of them, so that the other can deliver the killing blow from the side.
Qianye was walking ahead when he suddenly raised his head and looked at a giant tree in the distance. The spherical canopy is damaged everywhere, and some parts have grown up, but there are still many beehives with open mouths, and the things bred inside have disappeared.
He turned his head and glanced at Yetong, both thinking of the horde of natives and beasts that suddenly surged from behind halfway. Looking at this forest again, there is a lot more weird and gloomy out of thin air.
However, although the atmosphere in the misty forest was oppressive, the journey was very peaceful, and no vicious natives were encountered. Occasionally, there were a few search teams from Yong Ye and the Empire, and they were all relatively low-level. Detoured away without incident. Qianye also recognized two children from the small family who had dealt with the vassal Zhao Clan, and got some latest trends of the two camps from them.
A few days later, they passed through the forest and walked out of the stone forest. Qianye climbed to the high place and looked in all directions, and three flags immediately appeared in his vision. Two of them are the flags of the Council of Eternal Night, and one is the flag of the Empire. Under each flag, there is a corresponding base. Although Qianye has already heard the news, he is still surprised to see the continuous fortifications that have appeared in a short period of time.
It turns out that there is indeed a void passage in the depths of the Beast's Sleep on the Eternal Night Continent, but since this world itself is a flying land in the void, the void passage is one-way. It is impossible to return by individual strength.
Therefore, after the two camps figured out the characteristics of the space, they began to build a base centered on the Giant Beast Skeleton Mountain Range. Now the construction work of both sides is still in full swing, and the Evernight side has always maintained a size advantage twice that of the empire.
After looking at the surrounding environment, Qianye found a hidden place, took out clothes from Anduya's space, and asked Yetong to change into attire. Nighteye put on a samurai uniform that was common to attendants of a high-ranking family, and replaced all of them with imperial weapons, including the sword and short spear, and put a hooded cloak on the outside.
Her arms and thighs were bandaged with blood stains, and her face was also bandaged in two places. After pulling off the dust mask, only black hair and black eyes were exposed, and this is the most common hair in the empire. color and eye color.
The base that has been built and the flag is raised is a bit deserted compared to the fortifications that are under construction next to it. Dozens of imperial soldiers are guarding in front of the gate, and several high-speed floating battleships are parked on the takeoff and landing field behind.
When Qianye and Yetong approached, the sluggish soldiers at the gate of the base suddenly became alert, and pointed their guns at the two of them, and the multi-barreled cannons on the turrets on both sides of the gate of the base also turned around.
"Stop! Who is it?" shouted the guard from afar.
Qianye took out the identification card issued by the military department before leaving, pointed to the emblem of the Yanyun iron cavalry on his shoulder, and said, "Zhao Clan, Qianye."
These days, after the empire base was built, many strong men who were scattered in the stone forest and misty forest have been recruited one after another. Some were injured and could no longer participate in the battle, and some were not strong enough. After entering the underground cave, they withdrew without going far.
Therefore, the guards were not surprised to see the two of them. While receiving Qianye's identification card and the Zhao Clan's emblem for inspection, they asked casually, "Master Qianye, do you intend to return directly, or wait until all of your Zhao Clan's team is gathered together before leaving?" ?”
Qianye said: "The task is completed, and I was injured again, so I am going to return early."
When they heard that the task was completed, the faces of the guards all changed, but no one asked any more questions. The phrase "mission completed" is not something that can be said casually. For Qianye and the others who accepted the imperial conscript into the Beast's Sleep, the so-called mission completion means that one has obtained ancient essence fragments, and the other is Killed the ghost clone. No matter which one is a great military achievement, it is a top secret.
They guard here, and of course they have received the strictest orders, so the guard quickly inspected the brand and badge, and said: "General Hu is in charge of this matter, you can go to see him directly." Looking at Yetong behind Qianye, he asked, "Is this your follower?"
Qianye nodded and said, "Yes." He said calmly, "Has anyone else from the Zhao Clan come out yet?"
The guard replied: "When the base was first built a few days ago, Mr. Zhao brought a few entourages to make supplies, and then went in again."
The eldest son of Zhao is Zhao Junyi, the eldest of the four brothers of the Zhao family. Before Qianye came, he had heard from Lord You that he and Zhao Jundu had slept together in the Sleep of the Beast. It seems that Zhao Junyi didn't go deep into the cave world, or didn't go in at all, but stayed outside.
Qianye breathed a sigh of relief, apparently the people of the Zhao Clan were not blindly competitive, and acted quite strategically. Although he had no news of Zhao Jundu along the way, but now that Zhao Clan has divided labor and arranged it, Zhao Jundu should be fine.
The guard returned Qianye's identification tag with both hands, and also sent a person to take him and Yetong to meet the base supervisor.
That was a major general surnamed Hu from the main army of the empire. He spoke and acted very politely, and all procedures were handled very quickly. Of course he knew that the people on the recruitment list like Qianye were all heroes for a while, and since they came out alive, they would have a bright future in the future, so he naturally didn't want to leave any bad impression.
An hour later, a high-speed airship was ready for launch. The major general sent Qianye and Yetong to the floating ship.
The floating ship soared into the sky, rushed into a huge cloud vortex in the sky, and disappeared in the center of the vortex. That is the void passage leading directly to the sleep of the eternal night giant beast.
After a period of dizziness, Qianye's perception returned to normal. The floating ship rushed out of the Beast's Sleep, landed on the edge of the canyon, put Qianye and Yetong down, and turned back.
After the floating ship disappeared in the canyon, Qianyefang said to Yetong, "Do you remember the place?"
Yetong nodded, and they agreed to meet in a secluded valley outside Heiliu City.
"Okay, wait for me there. I will arrange everything." After finishing speaking, Qianye hugged Yetong heavily before letting her go, watching her figure disappear into the wilderness, and then turned to the people in the imperial camp. direction to go.
Qianye looked at the front that seemed to have no boundaries, and couldn't help being taken aback. When he entered the Sleep of Beasts, the imperial army had not yet assembled. Although judging from the scale of the expansion of the Zhao Clan's advance base at that time, it was already known that the battle was grand, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he deeply felt the determination of the empire to mobilize.
It's just that the scramble for the ancient essence fragments of the void behemoth is coming to an end, and Duke You didn't know what the "battle of national fortune" was that day
The imperial camp stands along the rolling hills, spreading out layer by layer, and the front line is even more complete with barriers, turrets, watchtowers, and armored walls. It is like a fortress city. Qianye handed over his identity certificate at the gate of the camp, and was led by someone specially assigned to go to the camp of the Zhao Clan.
The Zhao Clan dispatched a large number of private troops this time, and Zhao Xuanji, Lord Youguo, set up the town in person. He was powerful and respected, so the camp was located next to Zhang Boqian's Chinese army camp, and had a prominent position.
