Enjoy the world

The Moon-covering Lake is crescent-shaped and stretches out to the east, with the New Feso Port City under construction in the center. Hiyue Town is located on the tip of the crescent moon in the north, about 20 kilometers away from New Feso Port City.

It is surrounded by wilderness at the moment, and to the southwest is Moon Covering Lake. Hua Zhenxing was certain that the two missing classmates were not in the lake, because tracing back to the time when they disappeared, he and Manman were swimming in the lake in that area as dragons.

Yangyuan Valley has mobilized a large number of manpower to search, but if a person really enters the depths of the wilderness, no matter how many manpower there are, it is not enough. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Whether you can find it depends on luck.

In order to prevent further accidents, Hua Zhenxing ordered that only monks from the fourth realm and above could enter the wilderness, and that twelve people should travel in groups, so that they could form a Magnolia Sword Formation at any time.

These people only searched the nearby area. Yangyuan Valley also sent four Dacheng monks, each holding a flying artifact to search in four directions.

Among them, Hua Zhenxing is responsible for the north, because he has the highest level of cultivation among all people and the best understanding of the local conditions. The north is the wasteland area with the largest area and the most complex conditions.

Hua Zhenxing collected the daily necessities of the two people in advance, used the detection magic and the circular light mirror spell, and "saw" the scene when they left.

As expected, they walked to the northern wilderness together, probably to appreciate the local natural scenery. They were a little excited and curious, and did not realize that there might be danger.

The monks have many incredible magical powers. If they react earlier, no matter what happened to these two people, at least their whereabouts will be found soon.

But by the time Hua Zhenxing used his magical power, nearly five days had passed. Detecting divine magic also requires the so-called "spiritual guidance", which is trace information that is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but most of this information has dissipated.

Hua Zhenxing's high-level detection magic combined with the magic power of the circular light mirror could only trace the trace dozens of kilometers away in the north direction. He could only confirm that the two people had arrived there, and then lost their whereabouts.

The atmosphere in this area is chaotic, and there are large-scale wild animal activities, leaving traces of various groups of animals running and trampling.

Hua Zhenxing, Shi Zhongming, Gao Jianling, and Pan Cai separated from this location and started searching in four locations respectively.

There are currently eight Dacheng monks in Yangyuan Valley, namely Hua Zhenxing, Pan Cai, Sima Zhi, Wang Fengshou, Manman, Tang Senzhi, Gao Jianling, and Fang Chuanchan. There are also Ye Zongqing and Shi Zhongming who are resident in Huanxiang Tebang. They can also be regarded as half Yangyuan Valley monks.

These Dacheng monks usually sit on one side, and it is difficult to disturb them for ordinary things. For this embarrassing accident, Hua Zhenxing could only mobilize three people at the moment, and even he himself was dispatched.

Wang Fengshou is the foreign minister and intelligence chief of several miles away. He is so busy on weekdays that it is impossible for him to abandon his work and come to the wilderness to look for people. Manman and Fang Chuanchan are both far away in Dongguo. One has just gone back to school and the other has just gone back to work.

Sima Zhi was actually very close, but unfortunately he was in a vacuum and lost all his magical power. Tang Senzhi couldn't leave at all. There were many tasks that required him to make decisions every day. Ye Zongqing, who had the highest level of cultivation, also couldn't leave.

Although the teachers and students of Fesuogang University returned from the construction site in Biyue Town, the construction in Biyue Town did not stop. Yangyuan Valley sent another team of monks to continue the construction.

The city wall is integrated into the overall formation, and the formation must be deployed at the same time as the construction. The formation designed by Hua Zhenxing requires at least a seventh-level cultivation level to be deployed collaboratively.

Apart from Hua Zhenxing, Ye Zongqing was the only seventh-level monk on site. Once she left, the entire construction site had to stop work, and hundreds of people had to wait.

The people who got lost were the people from Wuxin Valley. As the owner of Wuxin Valley, Ye Zongqing was the most anxious, but he couldn't stop the whole project just because the two people got lost without permission. Another great elder, Shi Zhongming, was sent Out.

Gao Jianling happened to be going to Huanxiangte State to "report work". He heard the news and asked for help. It only took six hours to take a special plane back from the Viking country, and he picked up Pan Cai in Brussels on the way.

Just looking at these experts participating in search and rescue, you can tell how big a battle this is.

Why does Huazhen Behavior pay so much attention to this matter? Of course, saving people was part of the reason, but on the other hand, he always felt that something was unusual. If he couldn't figure out the reason, he would always feel unsure. Something could happen to even two third-level monks!

Hua Zhenxing used the form of swallowing the eagle, transformed into a crowned eagle and flew to high altitude, patrolling back and forth in a zigzag pattern, scanning a large fan-shaped area extending outward.

What he is best at is transforming into a crane, but compared to an eagle, the flying speed and eyesight of a crane are far inferior. For this kind of search work, it is most convenient to transform into an eagle.

The search area extended for tens of kilometers to the north, and he stretched his spiritual consciousness to the limit. Even Hua Zhenxing felt tired. If he wanted to find a lost sheep from someone's house, as long as he was here and it was not eaten, he would probably be there at this moment. Also found.

When Hua Zhenxing was about to land, he finally found some traces. Someone once camped deep in the wilderness, because there were the remains of a campfire in the depression of a certain hill.

Wild animals cannot light fires, let alone deliberately erase traces of fires. The ashes were all buried under the soil. If Hua Zhenxing hadn't launched a spiritual search at high altitude, he really wouldn't have been able to detect the abnormality in the soil.

This bonfire seemed to have been left a few days ago, which should coincide with the time when the two students disappeared. Hua Zhenxing judged that this was the work of a master, and it was definitely not the fault of the two students.

There are bound to be traces of a campfire, such as where the campers came from and where they went. However, Huazhenxing could not find any relevant traces, which showed that the campers were very good at sneaking and were very cautious, erasing all clues of their whereabouts.

If Hua Zhenxing can't be traced, he must be a master, and he is probably not a good person! Why do you think so? You are still so cautious in this deserted place and don’t even leave any trace of your whereabouts. Maybe you haven’t done anything good, right?

Hua Zhenxing discovered that he had been to this place before. When he escorted Rozchild through the wilderness to the Miri Airport in Tema Country, he took this route, and he had also camped nearby.

It was found that someone had been camping in the wilderness, but Hua Zhenxing was not sure whether this was related to the disappearance of the two students? Fortunately, he found the bonfire, and used the magic of detection to cast a circular light mirror, and vaguely saw a black mist-like figure floating away to the north.

This is definitely not a normal person. How could the figure of a normal person turn into a black mist and walk while floating? Unfortunately, the other party did not leave much detectable information. We could only see that he was leaving from this direction.

Hua Zhenxing was not in a hurry to follow the people who passed by a few days ago. It was too late to chase them now. He carefully changed a place, set up the stone-nodding magic circle to guard, rested for a while to regain his energy, and then flew into the air again.

This time he flew very low and very slowly. Not only did he observe with the eyesight of a eagle, but his spiritual consciousness scanned it even more delicately. Finally, he found another trace more than ten kilometers away in the north - someone had passed by here.

The other party may be more cautious at certain times, such as before and after camping, but there is always a time to relax during the journey. As long as the person does not fly away directly, there will always be some traces left.

Hua Zhenxing used a stupid method. He didn't believe that a person could perfectly hide his tracks during the entire process of walking through the wilderness. Even he himself couldn't do this, but this stupid method really worked.

The crowned eagle fell to the ground and turned into a tiger. The tiger seemed to be thinking, shook its head and turned into a leopard again. The original intention of turning into a tiger is for tracking, because tigers have a good sense of smell, and Hua Zhenxing's proficiency in swallowing the form of a tiger is second only to cranes and dragons.

But after landing, he realized that there were no tigers in this area at all. This was clearly telling the witnesses that there was something wrong with the animal. He, the tracker, should also be cautious enough to try to avoid being counter-detected by the opponent, so it became Leopard.

Old Man Yang taught him eight methods of swallowing shapes. Hua Zhenxing has mastered five of them: swallowing eagles, swallowing cranes, swallowing tigers, swallowing leopards, and swallowing dragons. He also has three methods of swallowing sturgeons, swallowing Si, and swallowing dragons that he has not yet mastered. Practice proficiency.

Hua Zhenxing had to admire the ancient monks who could actually create such a complicated secret method. His original intention may be to understand the way to transcend all living beings and races. But what Old Man Yang said is right. Practicing the Shape-Swallowing Technique is only about understanding its true meaning. There is no need to learn too many methods of swallowing the shape.

It is not easy to learn each form-swallowing method, and it takes a lot of energy. If there is no breakthrough in the realm, it is actually equivalent to a low-level repetition, and it is the repeated dissolution of self-awareness and self-understanding. .

Whether one can turn into a tiger or a leopard does not mean much to an expert.

But Hua Zhenxing not only learned it, but also practiced five kinds of it in succession. He mainly found it interesting. On the other hand, Old Man Yang can teach him eight kinds, which means that he knows at least eight kinds. Hua Zhenxing doesn't think there is anything wrong with learning a few more.

The state of cultivation in front of him was very special. He had reached the extreme of the Seventh Realm but seemed to be stagnant. Yue Gaole once hinted that he could be reborn, but Hua Zhenxing himself had no such consciousness, and was not even in a hurry.

Doesn't he want to break through to a higher realm of cultivation? of course not! A monk like him cannot be judged by the mentality of an ordinary person. Hua Zhenxing always feels that his cultivation is not up to the mark, and he is not yet perfect in the seventh realm, that is, the realm of controlling gods.

The more important reason is that he is the founder of Yangyuan Technique, not a simple practitioner. If the cultivation process of each level of the technique is not understood, it will be difficult to guide and enlighten others.

So he insisted on cultivating the world in the gourd, practicing various weapon techniques, elixirs, spells, and formations. He also built a real-life neighborhood in the world in the gourd, and practiced so many methods of swallowing shapes. In fact, they all It is a means of verification.

The disciples of Yangyuan Valley call him the chief instructor. In a sense, this title is very suitable. There seems to be no inheritance in Yangyuan Valley that he can't master. At this moment, he turned into a tiger and then into a leopard, carefully sensing the breath left by the camper.

The sense of smell of tigers and leopards is extremely sharp, not to mention that Hua Zhenxing is not an ordinary leopard, but equivalent to a powerful leopard demon. What he is searching for is not just a simple smell, but also includes intuition that is very mysterious to ordinary people.

The man passed by, and the breath he left behind made Hua Zhenxing instinctively feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain why. The leopard passed through the grass and trees, across the plains and hills, tracking this vague feeling.

Even when night fell, he did not stop. When the light dimmed, he looked up again. There was no road ahead, and there was a razor grid that even an elephant could not pass. He has arrived at the border between Jili Country and Tema Country.

The same gill mesh fence is also found at the junction of the agricultural reclamation area and the Shire City. It is the boundary line of Huan Xiang Te State, or the private land fence of Feng Zibin.

The border between Tema Country and Kilili Country originally only had boundary markers, and you could cross the border at will. However, after crossing the border, there is at least more than a hundred kilometers of uninhabited wilderness. If you go in the wrong direction, you will have to cross hundreds of kilometers of wilderness before you can find people.

There are no perennial rivers in this wasteland, making it unsuitable for human settlement. Since ancient times, there have been no obvious and conventional boundaries between the local tribes as natural barriers.

Later, the Western colonists divided their spheres of influence and drew a line directly on the map according to dimensions.

Feng Zibin not only bought nearly 100,000 square kilometers of land in the northernmost part of Jili Kingdom, but also bought 50,000 square kilometers of Gobi Desert at the junction of Tema Kingdom and Lanni Kingdom in the northwest, and later used the same shape. gill mesh fence markers.

Among them, the border with Tema Country is almost a straight line on the map, with a length of nearly 300 kilometers. Huanxiang Industrial spent money to build it in Tema Country, because it was very inconvenient to build it here in Kilili Country.

The original factory in Northeast China that produced razor grids was later simply acquired by Huanxiang Industrial. Even the production line technicians were moved to the Kingdom of Kilili. Now the Wage Mining Industry in the Kingdom of Kilili is able to produce the required steel. .

The razor wire fence on this border has openings in five places with special terrain, mainly for wild animals to migrate through. They are all in inaccessible places, and there are no gaps in this area.

The nearly four-meter-high razor grille showed no signs of damage. If someone passed by here, they would have climbed over it directly. The leopard transformed by Hua Zhenxing jumped forward and jumped over.

Not far further, we reached an inhabited area and a road appeared. In many places in the Black Wilderness Continent, human settlements and wilderness are actually intertwined. Many so-called roads are compacted dirt avenues without grass.

But the standard of this road is still relatively high. It is at least paved with cinder and gravel. Along it, you can go to Miri Airport on the outskirts of Miri, the capital of Tema. Hua Zhenxing came to the side of the road and transformed, regaining his human appearance.

He has walked this road, seven and a half years ago with Dr. Luo, and it is inevitable to feel a little emotional when he revisits his old place now. At this time, a tattered pickup truck came from behind and stopped beside him, with a pistol sticking out of the passenger window.

"Dongzhou guy, money!"

Such simple and plain language, Hua Zhenxing hadn't heard it in years. He turned around and saw that not only the big black man in the passenger seat had taken out a gun, but the driver in the driver's seat also took out a gun and was gesticulating, listening to the harsh music. Shaking his head like he's having epilepsy.

Hua Zhenxing sighed and couldn't help but feel a little dazed, feeling as if he had traveled through time and returned to the world back then.

It is so normal for a Dongzhou person to walk alone in such a place and encounter such a scene - this is the normality of that world, and it feels so abnormal!

Seeing that Hua Zhenxing didn't respond, the two guys were about to make a move when Hua Zhenxing suddenly flew up and saw the pickup truck spinning out and landing in the bushes on the side of the road with a loud noise.

When he first came here, the talented Hua Zhenxing could kick someone away. Now he not only has the seventh level of cultivation, but also took Lu Wu Shen Lun Dan and practiced the Iron Wa Gold She Jue to kick him away. A pickup truck is just trivial.

Hua Zhenxing was in a bad mood, and the two people happened to bump into his gun... As he continued to move forward, he heard the roar of the plane, and then saw Miri Airport.

Miri Airport was the first airport Huazhenxing had ever seen. At that time, I thought it was so beautiful and majestic. Hua Zhenxing was very envious and wished there could be such an airport near his home. He was fifteen years old at that time.

He will turn twenty-three next month. When he sees Miri Airport again, it is almost the same as it was back then. It is not a tall two-story terminal building and has only one standard runway, but it looks more shabby.

The airport is built in the suburbs. This is a real suburb. When the plane lands, passengers may see giraffes running in the distance through the windows.

Unknowingly, Huazhenxing came to a familiar place again, which was the corner at the end of the terminal building. There were green belts on both sides of the walking path, which were carefully trimmed.

It’s not that there is anything wrong with retaining a green belt, but if there is such a green belt in such a corner, when the vegetation grows high, it will form a visual blind spot. This kind of place is often suitable for something bad to happen.

I remember that after sending Rozchild away, Hua Zhenxing walked past here and was blocked by two and a half young men. The other party took a fancy to his shoes, used a knife to force him to take them off, and even tried to snatch his clothes.

Hua Zhenxing remembered that he kicked away the kid holding the knife. The guy jumped over the bushes, smashed the glass and flew into the airport terminal... Looking up, he saw that the big piece of glass had been repaired long ago, but the color was obviously different. Matching is like an ugly scar.

The original glass in the terminal building is darker in color and looks bluish-blue from the outside. It has a certain sunshade and single-transparent effect. But what was installed later was an ordinary piece of white glass, and the thickness was much thinner. The size of the top was a little off, and it was filled with glue.

In fact, Huazhenxing knew this airport very well, and later learned that it was also built with Dongguo's assistance, and its standards were very high for Miri City. A good airport, how can it not be maintained? Even a piece of glass is so carelessly repaired?

Is it simply because of lack of money? As far as Huazhenxing knows, this airport is not profitable. In Dongguo terms, it is a rare "good unit" in Tema Country. Even Huanxiang Industrial has spent a lot of money on it.

Back then, Rozchild Airport was not yet open to air traffic, so Huanxiang Industrial specially "bundled" Miri Airport. A large number of people from Dongguo boarded and disembarked from the plane here.

They took a special car from Miri Airport to and from the nearest shipping terminal, and then took a passenger ship arranged by Huanxiang Industrial to and from Fiso Port. This was the most convenient route to and from Dongguo at that time.

The piece of glass in front of me symbolizes the current situation of many places in the Black Wasteland, just like the country of Jili back then. Even if many facilities and equipment are built and provided, local people can barely use them and will not maintain or repair them.

There is neither technology nor materials, and even the locals have no awareness of maintenance and repair.

Some people may think that repairing a piece of glass is easy, just go to the market or call a repairman directly. But this kind of glass is not produced locally at all, and there are not even decent glaziers. What else can we do?

Some simple machines have so-called "failures". In fact, just open the casing and tighten a few screws. But people who don't know just don't know. Anyway, they only know that the thing is broken.

How could life be better if it was always like this?

But some things always need to be fixed, like cars. It's rare for someone to be able to repair a car, even if it's just to replace the simplest parts, they can open a car repair shop, but these shops are usually controlled by the gangs in the neighborhood.

The repair shop will also become the financial source and stronghold of the gang, monopolizing the business within its sphere of influence. Anyway, most people don't understand that it is they who have the final say on how much they should charge.

As for the supply channels of spare parts, they are controlled by larger power groups above these gangs, and they have also become a means of making money by dividing the spheres of influence.

What was originally a normal business will turn into a weird situation when the world is not normal.

I think back when the Straw Shoes Gang took root in Port Africa, they started by doing repairs. They not only helped people repair things but also taught them how to repair things. They also worked together to help each other and resisted the oppression of major gangs...

Hua Zhenxing was lost in thought in front of a piece of glass when two more people appeared in front and behind him, blocking him on the green trail.

The visitors were no longer the young men they had been back then, but young men about the same age as Hua Zhenxing. They each took out their daggers, and the man in front said: "Don't scream!"

The man behind said: "Money! And your shoes!"

They all spoke English, including the people in the pickup truck just now. They may not have taken a formal English class, but they have mastered such vocabulary and conversation, and even used the tense correctly. Is it this? Is this the so-called professional English?

Places like Tema and cities like Miri also have so-called noble neighborhoods that are relatively safe and orderly. The airport is not a neighborhood, but it is also a very safe place. Various dignitaries and foreign guests come and go. There are many security guards and police patrols.

But ordinary guests will not appear in such a corner. They use open passages to and from the bus. Huazhenxing comes from outside the tarmac and behind the terminal building. People may be watching from all the way. .

There are many thieves in places like this, and these people are usually not very "professional" and will rob if given the opportunity.

With a piercing sound, the ugly white glass shattered again, and a person flew in, followed by another person.

The patrolling police and airport security were alerted, but Hua Zhenxing had left this corner and appeared outside the terminal gate.

He was originally following a vague, inexplicable feeling that made him very uncomfortable. It was strange that he was in a good mood under such circumstances. His mood was even worse at the moment, because he had The target was lost.

This airport, this place, this city, this country, the world it represents, and the invisible atmosphere make Hua Zhenxing very uncomfortable. Just like the Port of Feso and the Kingdom of Kilili, of course that feeling is also There is no way to tell the difference.

At this moment, he suddenly frowned slightly, because the "system" came on another mission——

Mission 34: Investigate the disappearance of the Yangyuan Master and uncover the dark creatures.

Mission reward: Discover the hidden dangers of cultivating the art of cultivating energy, and try to eliminate them if possible.
