Dawn of Another World

Chapter 13

The sky has just been polished, and the air is still exuding a cold chill. The maroon land in the back of the Giant Wolf City and the scattered hidden places between the tents, the residual snow in the potholes are still frozen and have not melted in time.Amidst a short but extremely powerful sound of horns, the towering and majestic black gate of the Giant Wolf City made a heavy sound and slowly opened to the left and right sides. A group of dozens of heavily armored warriors filed in from the inside. out.

The crowd was silent.

Only the metal armor and the sword rub against each other while walking, making a slight collision sound.

Everyone in this team is almost the elite force of the wolf tribe, carrying the rank of warrior or above.Ling Xiao, who was guarded in the middle, was dressed in civilian clothes, surrounded by heavily armed orcs who were at least a head taller than him. The whole scene was like a little white rabbit strayed into a pack of wolves.Fortunately, beside him, there is a prophet Jiji who is also wearing a cloth robe, otherwise Ling Xiao would have turned around and fled just because of that discomfort.

"take it easy."

Prophet Gigi tries to ease his cramps.

After straightening the black fur cloak on Ling Xiao's body, he took Ling Xiao's slightly warm hand. Now it seems that the hurriedly made cloak has really worked.

The temperature difference between day and night in Saofeng Plain is huge, and coupled with the relentless wind that has been raging day and night for years, it is impossible to spend a lot of time building a strong and airtight tent when it comes to the hill of relics.The environment in the wild is very complex and changeable. Ling Xiao from the earth is different from the physique of the orcs who endure the extreme heat and cold. The Prophet Gigi is one step ahead of Ling Xiao himself, considering his physical adaptation.This is also where Gigi is meticulous.

In a scene of killing by swords and soldiers, Ling Xiao was a little envious of the Prophet Jiji's calm attitude, so Ling Xiao could only nod silently, trying to keep himself calm.

"Master Jiji." Quietly lowered his voice, Ling Xiao was a little confused by the orderly and uniform moving team in front of him, "Is this going to gather on foot to the hill of ruins?"

The terrain of Xiaofeng Plain is typically narrow in vertical and wide in horizontal.The northwestern corner is the territory of the orc giant wolf clan, the northeast near the coastline is the settlement of centaurs, and a narrow strip of triangle from southwest to southeast is the territory of the wild snake clan.In addition to these three settlements, there are also some orc tribes with a small number of populations attached to them, scattered all over the plain.

The several big orc tribes are divided by three dry ancient river beds. The place where these river beds meet each other is the hill of ruins where Ling Xiao and the others are going to meet today.

Starting from the Western Giant Wolf City to get there, you have to cross almost half of the vast plain and gallop at full speed in the form of a giant wolf for about one or two hours. However, if you walk at the current unhurried speed, I am afraid It will take a day or two.

"Let's go to the watchman's outpost on the east side of Giant Wolf City first."

Shaking his head with a smile, the Prophet Jiji certainly knew why Ling Xiao was strange, so he winked at him mysteriously and said: "There is still an ancient magic circle there. In order to preserve the strength of the soldiers, it is not suitable to run long distances. The elders will Those misers are bleeding a lot this time."

Although he was still a little puzzled, but seeing Jiji's face with a smug smile no matter how you look at it, Ling Xiao wisely didn't continue to ask.

After walking for about ten minutes, everyone arrived at the watchman's outpost at their destination.

It is said to be an outpost, but it looks like a ruin from the outside.There are scattered and collapsed gravel walls all around. Half of the severely weathered walls have fallen down and half are buried in the soil, and some stone walls have completely disappeared, leaving only the remains in place as if burned by fire. Severely burned scorched marks.

After walking further into the camp for a certain distance, we could see the traces of repairs. Several blue-gray tents and a tall round sentry tower in the distance appeared standing under the morning light.

It seemed that the news had already been received, and several sentinel-like werewolves stepped forward to salute and hand over the group of people to a flat circular open space behind the tent.

Everyone spontaneously formed a circle at the edge of the open space. Ling Xiao saw a sentry passing him holding a black stone box, and finally stopped in front of the prophet Jiji.Then the box was opened, and Ling Xiao's green eyes widened in surprise——

It was a box full of brilliant, crystal-like gems.But different from the earth crystals, those exceptionally pure and beautiful stones radiate light of different colors from the inside to the outside, just like the substance is surging with power, making people unable to move their eyes away at a glance.

"It's an energy spar." Basil, who had been in front of the team, came behind Ling Xiao at some point.He explained to Ling Xiao in a low voice, "Most of the things that the Federation likes to use are monopolized by the Sasol people in Cuba."

It turns out that this is the biggest contributor to the huge wealth accumulated by the businessmen of Basha Suo - the energy spar.When Ling Xiao only read it from the book records, he still had no sense of reality at all.At this time, facing these indescribably beautiful stones, when Ling Xiao suddenly looked at the earth, his female friends and colleagues were somewhat relieved of their unusual obsession with jewelry.

"Why are you here, Basil?"

His eyes were still reluctant to leave those brilliant crystals. Because of the habit of getting along with each other when they were in the silver wolf form, Ling Xiao, who was distracted, didn't even notice anything wrong, so he reached out and squeezed Basil's fingers affectionately.

"The teleportation array is about to open..." Dumbly replied, the pinched fingertips felt a little hot, which seemed a bit different from being pinched by the paws in the giant wolf form.Feeling awkward, Basil raised his head again, and seeing Ling Xiao's eyes shining, staring at those energy spars wanting to stop, his body involuntarily moved closer to him, "I'm with you."

"Huh?" Ling Xiao didn't pay attention to the second part of Basil's words. He realized that he was a little too excited, so he half-forced to look away, and asked suspiciously: "Teleportation array?"

"It's the magic teleportation array left over from the ancient times of the Watcher's Outpost, my lord."

A familiar loud voice came from behind the two, interrupting the conversation between Ling Xiao and Basil.

A middle-aged man with beards squeezed through the crowd and came to Ling Xiao, "As long as enough energy spars are provided in the magic circle here, and a temporary reception formation is set up at the hill of ruins, our people will It can be teleported directly, my lord."

"Gail!"

Speaking in a low voice but couldn't restrain surprise, Ling Xiao recognized the big man in front of him as one of the guards who had been ordered to guard him with his younger brother in Julang City.During this period of time, Ling Xiao had no chance to meet them again, "You and Ryder... are you okay?"

"Hehe, it's all right!" He touched his head and smiled innocently, "No, my brother and I received a mission to go to the ruins again."

Gail naturally knew what Ling Xiao was asking. Anyway, he didn't know what was going on, and it might be because they were just two insignificant people. Regarding the two brothers' leaving their posts without authorization that day, the Presbyterian Council has not punished them so far. blame down.

"My mother asked me to say hello! Oh, yes—"

As if remembering something, Gail untied a cloth bag that was hanging around his waist, and handed it to Ling Xiao with a smile, "Here are two sets of robes that she sewed by herself, saying thank you for the herbs. Please don't be disgusted and accept it! Master Ling Xiao."

After receiving the very simple sackcloth bag, Ling Xiao felt a burst of warmth in his heart. He wanted to say a lot in an instant, but he opened his mouth clumsily and only came out with a dry thank you: "Thank you Gail, thank you Yes... thank your mother for me."

"Well. Yes, my lord."

Basil on the side took the cloth bag in Ling Xiao's hand at this time, hung it around his waist for him and tied it carefully, fortunately it was not a very heavy thing.

Just then there was a slight commotion from the crowd.

The three of them looked at the open space in the middle at the same time—under the instructions of the Prophet Jiji, the sentry guard holding the stone box had arrived at the center of the field, and was working with the other two guards to separate the energy spars in the box one by one. Fitted into an inconspicuous stone plate, the diameter of the stone plate is about half a meter, and it only slightly protrudes from the ground. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice it at all.

As the last piece of green spar was fitted into the empty slot of the stone plate, the guards quickly retreated to the edge of the open space.With a low buzzing sound, a circle of shock waves visible to the naked eye brought up the thick smoke and dust accumulated on the ground over the years, and violently spread outward from the center of the radiant disc.

The surrounding crowd backed away one after another.

After the flying dust finally dissipated, on the originally gray and inconspicuous ground, countless criss-crossing and glittering thin gullies formed a gorgeous and complicated pattern like a spider's web.Those lines and lines that are very similar to the magic flame talisman, but a hundred times finer than the ordinary magic flame talisman, can be called works of art.

Ling Xiao, who couldn't take his eyes off his eyes, felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with these beautiful magic lines.

"Okay, the connection has been successfully opened. Now, according to the order of the team, each group of ten people will transmit!"

Reining in the usual sloppy and casual, the voice of the prophet Gigi not far away is clear and majestic.

The crowd began to move slowly following his orders.

The first batch of ten wolf warriors stood still in the shining magic circle.

Those lines and gullies that seemed to have life flowing began to burst out from the soles of the soldiers' feet, and flowed upwards around their bodies.The more and more dense rays of light spiraled up to a certain height in a spindle shape, and then scattered like fireflies.

After this beautiful and dreamy scene, the figures of that group of soldiers disappeared in place.

Ling Xiao, who seemed to have experienced the scene of a sci-fi movie, once again received a big shock in cognition.

"My lord, I'm in the third group with you." The bearded uncle Gail joined the conversation again, "Ryder was among the ten people just now, and he probably has reached the hill of ruins by now."

Scratching his head, Gail seemed to see that Ling Xiao was a little nervous, "The magic teleportation array is like this. It's very convenient to close your eyes and reach your destination after a night of sleep. But it consumes a lot of crystals. The distance The farther you go, the higher the consumption. The energy spars are hoarded in the hands of those profiteers in Sasol, Cuba, so you don’t have that luxury on a normal trip, haha!”

Nodding, after listening to Gail's narration, Ling Xiao subconsciously looked at Basil on the other side.Seeing that everyone is very disciplined, Basil, who was supposed to be in the second group of ten people, would there be anything wrong with running like this.

"Basil..."

"Teacher knows." Knowing what Ling Xiao was going to say, Basil could see his nervousness at a glance from his stiff stance, so he immediately answered: "He asked me to come with you."

"Well, good." Ling Xiao finally felt relieved.

Regarding the magic teleportation array, Ling Xiao has never had any relevant knowledge in books, and now he only barely understands some of Gail's explanations, and it is impossible to say that he is not nervous.

After the second batch of people left, it was finally Ling Xiao's turn to teleport.He unconsciously squeezed Basil's hand again under the cloak, and the two followed Gigi, Gail and the others into the circular range of the magic circle.

At that moment, when the beautiful and complicated lights danced and enveloped Ling Xiao, the original embarrassment and anxiety suddenly disappeared like the ebb tide of the sea.

After a long breath, Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, and yawned in that warm and safe feeling, as if he was about to fall asleep——
