Star Trace Gate

Fulai County, about sixty kilometers to the south.

Ren Ye and Yin Hu had been sitting in the car, waiting for almost a day.

After they arrived near Jingming Lake, they encountered the city guards from the Thunder and Fire Department of the Craftsmen's Mansion several times, and they were told that they could not cross the lake into the enemy-occupied area before dark, even with Song Mingzhe's certificate of mission, as this was a hard rule.

Outside the car, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky and earth were filled with golden color. It was already 5:30 in the evening, and night was about to fall.

Ren was also sitting in the cab, and asked out of boredom: "Brother Hu, from the information you reveal in your daily conversations, your status in the Thick Earth Realm should be quite high."

“Haha, that’s both high and low.” Yin Hu replied, “If I can’t successfully challenge the Lord of Thick Earth after receiving the Immortal Light, I might be even more miserable than an ordinary person. I will be driven away from my homeland and exiled to the Star Gate World to grow up on my own. To put it bluntly… I will be a homeless person, left to fend for myself. No one will know if I die outside.”

Ren was slightly stunned: "Ah? Then why do you insist on challenging the Lord of Thick Earth? Can't I just start fighting and messing around?"

"Others can, but I can't." Yin Hu shook his head: "After the Immortal Light Initiation, I must challenge the Lord of Thick Earth. This is the unique inheritance method of Thick Earth, and it is also destiny."

Ren Ye only heard a few words about his life experience, and he felt that the value of Yinhu VIP customers was still increasing, so he took the initiative to get closer and said: "It's not a big problem. When I grow up, I will call my eldest brother Liu Jishan, and the brothers will go to my hometown with you to challenge the Lord of Thick Earth together."

"That's not necessary." Yin Hu immediately waved his hand: "If you want to challenge him, I will kill you."

"?!"

Ren was also stunned: "No, you are sick, why can't you tell the difference between good and bad? I just want to help you...!"

"Why didn't you ask what the relationship between the Lord of Thick Earth and me is?" Yin Hu looked at him seriously.

Ren was stunned: "What's the relationship?!"

"He is my father." Yin Hu said faintly: "If you guys try to gang up on him, we will definitely kill you."

"Fuck!"

Ren was also confused: "Then...then you...!"

"Every Thick Earth Lord must defeat the people of his own race who are competing with him, and successfully defeat the previous Thick Earth Lord, before he is qualified to rule that vast territory." Yin Hu added: "Unfortunately, the current Thick Earth Lord is my father."

"What happens after we defeat him?" Ren Ye asked.

"Confirm the authority and drive away the father." Yinhu replied as a matter of course.

"...!"

Ren Ye was speechless for a long time, then shook his head and sighed, "I actually saw it a long time ago. You are a beast."

"Survival of the fittest. This is the heritage of Hou Tu... You may not understand it, but you can't criticize it." Yin Hu squinted at him and said, "Your brother Hu's sword and gun are not vegetarian."

"Oh."

Ren nodded and asked, "What is your inheritance? Is it from the Gods?"

"To be precise, it's not yet, it can be considered a demigod inheritance." Yin Hu said indifferently: "But it doesn't matter, I was born to kill gods."

Oh, you are just pretending...

Ren Ye complained in his heart and nodded slowly: "It seems that your future is also very heavy."

"Others like to look at the present, but I prefer to look at the end. It's not heavy, there are just scenery along the way." Brother Hu turned into a great philosopher for a moment, and everything he said was written in prose.

Ren also pondered his words carefully and agreed, "That makes sense."

"Dip Lingling!"

While the two were chatting, Ren Ye's phone suddenly rang.

He was slightly stunned, and murmured softly: "I almost forgot that it didn't ring, we still have the phone with us...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Ye raised his arm and pressed the answer button: "Hello?!"

"I'm Song Mingzhe. The situation has changed. Huang Youlong has been contacted. He should be on the south bank of Jingming Lake, which is an enemy-occupied area. Don't cross the lake to greet him." Song Mingzhe's voice sounded: "At the latest in an hour, he will find a way to sneak into the north bank. You two, go to the Fuhai Hotel on the north bank and wait. When Huang Youlong arrives, you will immediately take him back. Don't let him contact anyone along the way, and don't say too much or ask too many questions. Do you understand?"

"I see." Ren Ye nodded immediately and said, "Then who should we look for after we arrive at Fu Hai Hotel?!"

"Xu Tingtao, the military officer of the Thunder and Fire Department, once you arrive, just prove your mission to him." Song Mingzhe reminded him again, "But don't let him contact Huang Youlong. The situation is not good now... Don't trust anyone."

"clear."

"that's all!"

After hanging up the phone, Yin Hu blinked at Kazilan's big tiger eyes and asked in a low voice: "What's the situation?"

"This is a mission full of chance." Ren Ye glanced at him and said calmly, "We don't have to look for Huang Youlong ourselves. We can just wait on the north bank. He will find a way to sneak across...!"

As he was talking, Ren Ye followed the instructions on the map and drove to the Fu Hai Hotel on the north shore.

After a whole day of scouting, Ren Ye and Yin Hu had roughly understood the situation near Jingming Lake. The Order Camp's Craftsmen's Mansion dispatched the Thunder and Fire Tribe to be stationed on the north bank of the lake, only for defense, not offense.

The bald law enforcer's "troops" were all concentrated on the south bank of the lake, where was a large dense forest. From a distance, it looked a little dark and deep, but there was nothing unusual about it, and there was no fluctuation of any mysterious aura.

Therefore, Ren still had a vague concept of this war between order and chaos. He was a little confused about how this war was fought. There was clearly no camp on the south bank of the lake, and there was no sign of any magical beings stationed there. It seemed like a dead end, but the Craftsmen's Mansion only dared to retreat to the south bank, and even nervously set up a rule prohibiting any personnel from passing through the south bank.

At present, he has traveled to many cities and star gates in the migration area, and the story background takes place in an era when order and chaos are fighting. The information he can get is basically "heard" of trivial matters. Therefore, this is his first direct contact with this war, but his inner expectations and imagination are very different from the reality before his eyes.

At around 6:30 in the evening, when it was completely dark, the car stopped in front of the Fuhai Hotel on the north bank of Jingming Lake.

After Ren Ye and Yin Hu walked in, they came to the third floor of the hotel under the guidance of the Thunder and Fire Tribe's supernatural powers.

The houses around the hotel were all empty. Some of the people had fled, some had dispersed, leaving behind a ghost town-like environment. Moreover, there weren't too many magical powers around, there must be more than a thousand of them, but with just this little defensive power, could it be called a war?

When the war started in Qingliang Prefecture, the number and strength of those with supernatural powers must have been higher than this, right?

There are only a few thousand people, and you deserve to be called an order organization alliance?

Ren Ye felt very strange, but he didn't dare to ask.

On the third floor, on the balcony, a third-grade middle-aged magical practitioner stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Xu Tingtao."

"Hello."

Ren also greeted the other party.

"Please sit down, please sit down."

The balcony is not big, it is long and narrow, with only a few tables and a dozen chairs. It looks a bit empty, but from here you can see the view of the south bank of Jingming Lake, with a very wide perspective.

After Ren Ye and Yin Hu sat down, Xu Tingtao, who looked ordinary, personally poured tea for them.

He was probably about thirty years old, wearing green armor and carrying a shiny black axe on his back. In short, he had very obvious characteristics of a person with supernatural powers.

Xu Tingtao seemed to be very talkative. As he poured tea, he sighed, "I heard from the higher-ups that you are here to pick someone up! Haha, I won't ask who you are picking up...but you are really lucky."

"Lucky?"

Ren also became interested and asked with a smile: "What do you mean?!"

"If that person can't come back by himself, you will have to sneak into the south bank to pick him up at night, right?" Xu Tingtao smiled and pushed the teacup in front of the two of them, whispering, "Once you go over there, you will definitely die... Now the orders from above have changed, you just need to wait here... Haha, isn't this lucky?"

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

He greeted with a smile.

"Why is it that if we go to the South Bank, we will definitely die?" Yin Hu asked with a frown.

"You two may not know that the south bank of Jingming Lake has been occupied for more than five days." Xu Tingtao raised his arm, pointed at the lake that was dozens of miles wide, and looked at the dense forest on the south bank and said, "Look, the dense forest on the south bank is dark and deep... and faintly exudes a mysterious and chaotic atmosphere, as if covered with layers of black gauze, like a life forbidden zone. I have only seen this scene before the bald man attacked Binhai City... I guess the upper echelons don't know what is in the dense forest now."

When Yin Hu heard this, he turned his head and looked towards the south bank. He raised his eyebrows, closed his eyes lightly, and instantly exuded perception.

A powerful aura radiated out instantly, causing the quiet lake surface to glow with phosphorescence.

"brush!"

Soon, Brother Tiger opened his eyes and sneered, "What a fuss. There is a more evil aura on the other side, but it is very faint... and there is nothing in the dense forest."

"Brother, this is just an appearance." Xu Tingtao corrected him seriously and earnestly: "The crazy people in the chaos camp all use very strange methods... What you see is not necessarily true."

"Really? You should burn incense when you go back today and thank the God of Craftsmanship for blessing you. The higher-ups didn't send you to the other side, otherwise you would definitely die there."

he added.

Ren Ye looked at the extremely tranquil lake and the trees on the south bank swaying in the wind, and he also did not sense any special atmosphere.

"I'm just curious about one thing." Brother Hu looked at Xu Tingtao and asked seriously, "What on earth are you guys from the Thunder and Fire Department doing here?!"

Xu Tingtao was stunned, and replied as a matter of course: "That must be a confrontation with the bald man, to protect Fulai County."

Brother Hu said with a speechless expression: "You don't even know what's going on on the other side, you call this a confrontation?!"

"We can guess. Look at the dark and deep south bank..."

"Don't be so profound!" Brother Hu interrupted by waving his hand, "I'm very curious. The war is about to begin. Why don't the high-level supernatural powers and military officers of the Craftsman's Mansion go to the other side to find out what's going on? Just sitting here and observing the scenery and guessing... what's the point?"

"You don't know that most of our high-level supernatural powers and military officers are not on the front lines." Xu Tingtao shook his head.

"Where did you go?" Ren Ye asked.

"Evacuate." Xu Tingtao said in a low voice: "The war is about to begin. Not only do people need to evacuate...but also the family property, star source, concubines, illegitimate children, all kinds of unreconciled bad debts...they all need to be evacuated, otherwise they will be exposed. The most important thing is that the war is about to start...the bigwigs above have to hold a meeting. How can they make decisions without a meeting? Without a decision, how can this war be fought?"

"They work very hard and spend their precious time on the knife handle, so... we, the idle people, can only sit here and watch and speculate on the situation on the south bank."

He said it very seriously and meticulously: "Anyway, you are really lucky that you don't have to cross the lake to do your work today. I suggest that you find an excuse and go to the meeting... until the evacuation, everything will be stable."

After listening to this, Ren Ye and Yin Hu were speechless for a long time.

For a moment, they hoped that the Great Mighty Dragon would win...

"Hey, those guys on the balcony, we'll be there soon."

Just as the three of them were chatting, a voice suddenly came into their ears.

Ren Ye instantly perked up and turned his head to look around, but he didn't see anyone: "Well, where did the sound come from?"

"brush!"

Yin Hu's perception exploded, and he instantly closed his eyes and replied: "On the water! There is a prop in the Sumeru space, a small boat... There are deep fluctuations there!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Ye immediately stood up, opened his Holy Eyes to look at the lake, and after searching for a long time, he saw a palm-sized wooden boat in the middle of the water, floating slowly along the water surface.

He sensed the profound fluctuations and immediately sent a voice message: "Is it Mr. Huang?"

"It's me. We've escaped and will be at the shore soon." The voice immediately replied, "You can meet us at the shore."

"it is good!"

After Ren responded, he turned around and called Brother Hu: "Let's go to the shore to pick him up, then get in the car and leave!"

Yin Hu stood up upon hearing this and prepared to go downstairs with Ren Ye.

On the lake, a small wooden boat the size of a palm was drifting with the wind, and was about to approach the north shore.

"boom!"

At this moment, a burst of star source fluctuations suddenly erupted on the south bank, which was dozens of miles wide.

"Whoosh!"

A man in a black robe suddenly appeared on the shore. He looked at the Fu Hai Hotel on the other side and smiled: "Oh, you're here quite early...!"

His appearance instantly caught Ren Ye's attention.

The Holy Eye slowly passed across the south bank, and Ren saw the man in black robe at a glance.

On the front of his black robe, there was a golden moon embroidered with golden crows flying around it, which looked extremely eye-catching.

The black-robed man looked at the lake and whispered, "Turn around - retreat upstream!!!"

"Boom!"

As the black-robed man spoke, the sky and the earth changed color, and dark clouds gathered above the lake in an instant.

“Bang, bang, bang…!”

Countless water columns rolled up on the lake surface, and the water flowed backwards. The palm-sized boat was instantly pushed back in the upstream surge, and in just a moment, it approached the south bank again.

“Save me…!”

Huang Youlong's voice came and went straight into Ren Ye's ears.

This scene happened extremely suddenly. When Yinhu reacted, the boat had already drifted far away.

"Damn it, you're cheating on me right in front of me. You really don't take your Tiger Master seriously!"

"Boom!!"

A strong wind suddenly blew up, causing the lake water to surge as if it was boiling.

"brush!"

Immediately afterwards, a huge and ancient sword suddenly appeared from the sky, cutting through the dark clouds and emitting a heart-pounding aura.

"Whoosh!"

Brother Tiger jumped up from the balcony, facing the south bank, his body floating above the strong wind, and shouted: "Knife!"

"Ong!"

The giant knife flashed with light, and Brother Tiger stood alone in the gust of wind, staring at the south bank, and said word by word: "A thousand people dare not go there, but I am enough! Playing tricks, I want to see what strange things are in the dense forest!!"

"brush!"

Each man held a knife and rode the strong wind to the south bank.

On the balcony, Xu Tingtao shouted: "You can't go, or you will die!!"

Ren was also confused and shouted, "You idiot, you idiot... why did you leave so suddenly? Why don't you talk to me first!"
