to blame

The meeting that night was the largest since Ming Xia took office.

As soon as he walked into the meeting room with Qingqiu in his arms, he was shocked when he saw a dense crowd of human heads in the stepped meeting room.He didn't expect that there would be so many people in the branch of the "Sixth Group" in the western district of Yaozhou City—this didn't include the staff on duty that night.

Ming Xia sat down behind Nan Jiang with a sense of awe.

His front, back, left, and left are all members of the action team, and the front row is another action team. They have cooperated in the big formation before, and Ming Xia saw several familiar faces.

The seat further away, Ming Xia only looks familiar.These people belong to the half-familiar faces who have met on the training ground or in the cafeteria.Look familiar, but have not dealt with.

Ming Xia also saw a few small animals among them: a small monkey, two Shiba Inu, and a few birds, including starlings and orioles.It is estimated that they are similar to Qingqiu's situation.

Ming Xia saw a petite starling parked on the shoulder of a female soldier, and couldn't help but take a second look.To be honest, he really missed Qingqiu's cute and stupid look at that time.

Qingqiu seemed to guess what he was thinking, desperately scratched Ming Xia's sleeves with his claws, and used practical actions to compete with his original appearance.

Ming Xia was so disturbed by it that she had no choice but to flatter it desperately, "Okay, I won't watch it. You are still the most beautiful now, white, soft and fluffy, how can those black feathers compare with How do you compare?"

Qingqiu squinted at him, "Really?"

Ming Xia quietly took out a piece of beef jerky from his pocket to curry favor with it, "Really, it's better than beef jerky. Do you want it?"

"Yes!" Qingqiu took the beef jerky contentedly, sneaked into his arms and began to grind his teeth.

The leaders of the "sixth group" stepped onto the rostrum one by one.

Ming Xia has not joined the company for a long time, and many leaders do not know each other.Among these people, he only knew Commander Du and Mr. Hu, and several senior engineers in charge of the technical department.Among them, Ming Xia also saw Wen Liang.

The first to speak was Commander Du.

Du commanded a group of soldiers, and his speech was very straightforward, "I called everyone together today to hold a mobilization meeting. Everyone may have noticed that the Xishan formation has not been peaceful recently. And it just happened to coincide with the changing of the guard on the No. [-] peak. He paused for a moment, and glanced towards Nanjiang and the others, "Team two?"

Nanjiang stood up and saluted, "The second team changes the guard!"

Commander Du nodded and raised his hand to signal him to sit down.He emphasized that the location of the No. [-] peak is special, and the situation in the large formation is somewhat abnormal recently, so it is suggested to adjust the number of people stationed and weapons and equipment.

It was only then that Ming Xia realized that Nanjiang's team was going to enter Xishan Mountain again, and it was still the task of stationing on the No. [-] Peak.

"Will Qingqiu and I go too?" Ming Xia turned sideways, and asked Nanjiang in a low voice uncertainly, "Stay on Peak No. [-], how often do you need to change your defense?"

Nan Jiang answered him in a low voice without moving his eyebrows, "One month."

Ming Xia discussed with Qing Qiu, and continued to harass Nan Jiang in a low voice, "Then let us follow." Anyway, he also has to teach the monsters, and it is more convenient to go back and forth from Peak No. [-].

Besides, everyone said that the situation in the big formation was not right, with Qingqiu here, at least one more communication channel.

Nan Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, but did not make a sound.

Ming Xia couldn't help but look at him again, wondering if he was overthinking, he felt that Nan Jiang seemed quite happy.

The content of the next meeting was to coordinate personnel deployment, material deployment and other aspects. Ming Xia was distracted after listening.

He was thinking about those monsters in the big formation.To be precise, he was thinking about Yiya.

Yiya, Jiao.According to legend, he was betrayed by his trusted subordinates, died miserably, and was later rescued by the ten witches of Lingshan with elixir, and then his temperament changed drastically, completely blackened... a demon.

It seems that it is not quite accurate to say this, because in the legend, the first attribute of Jiaojiao seems to be a fairy.If this is in the story of cultivating immortals, this process should be called falling into the magic way or something.

Then he became bloodthirsty, killing people and killing monsters.At most, killing people would not make them hungry, but killing monsters could increase their strength, as the water pheasant had done before.It can be seen that this is a secret technique for the Yaozu to improve their cultivation.

In short, the more he kills, the more capable he is.Finally, in the Battle of Ten Thousand Monsters, he became a big boss, leading a group of monster brothers, taking pleasure in fighting against the demon hunters.

After Yaozu's defeat, Yiya was sealed into the Western Mountain Formation until now.

Ming Xia knew the attitude of the "sixth group" towards Zhu Huai, and the murders committed by Yi Yaduo far surpassed Zhu Huai.

Like Zhu Huai, he is a target that will never be forgiven by the demon town.

Perhaps, it is precisely because he knows that he has no future, that Yiya has the idea of ​​what he wants to do?

After the meeting was over, Mr. Hu left Nanjiang's second team alone again.Wen Liang's team and Commander Du stayed together.Ming Xia's elder brother Lu Kai was also present, his stern face seemed more serious than Wen Liang's.

Qingqiu is still very envious of Ming Xia on this point.Look at other people's elder brothers, they are serious, calm, and meticulous, and they look very reliable. This is what a qualified elder brother should look like.Think about Qingtan again...

Qingqiu actually felt a little melancholy.

Although it also misses him quite a bit, but after comparing it, it feels that his senior brother is really hard to describe.

Ugh.

Mr. Hu knocked on the table and attracted everyone's attention, "Have everyone read the report submitted by the first team?"

Nan Jiang hurriedly said, "Lin Su and I have watched it, but the others haven't."

Lin Su is the team doctor, no matter what problems are encountered in the mission, she will participate, so Nanjiang needs to communicate with her in advance.As for the others, Nan Jiang would not reveal any news until the task was clearly assigned.

Mr. Hu nodded, and glanced at the members of the second team, especially Mingxia and Qingqiu for a while, "The time for changing the guard is set to be ten days later. Your team will enter the mountain tomorrow and go directly to the 'Nine Mu Umeda' .”

Ming Xia immediately remembered the Gu sculpture that Qingqiu had seen in "Nine Mu Umeda".

"'Nine acres of Umeda' must be cleaned up," Mr. Hu began to issue tasks. "Your team should study the specific tasks. Our requirement is that Umeda should not become the nest of the Eagle King."

Nan Jiang nodded to express his understanding.

The people in the second team didn't really understand it, they only knew that this mission was related to "Nine Mu Umeda" and the Gu carvings sealed in Umeda.

This task cannot be said to be very difficult, but it is indeed very troublesome.During the last mission, they had all seen the general terrain of Umeda through the monitor worn by Qingqiu. Those dense thorns and intertwined shrubs that made it impossible to get down, it was a headache to think about.

Commander Du said with a hearty smile: "Don't worry, the technical team has provided new tools, and your tasks are not so troublesome. Come on, let's ask Mr. Wen to give you a detailed introduction."

He also knows the nature of the task of "Nine Mu Umeda", which is similar to opening up wasteland.Usually these young people are asked to fight and kill, and they all feel like they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they can't do some farm work.

The youngsters of the second team barely cheered up.

Wen Liang directly ignored the task assigned by Commander Du, and said very shamelessly: "The newly developed tools are all equipped with written instructions, in Chinese, as long as they have an elementary school education level, they can understand them."

Commander Du, "..."

Mr. Hu coughed twice, interrupting the unreliable conversation between the two, "You discuss the specific issues yourself, I leave you here, just want to remind one thing: if there is something wrong with the seal of 'Nine Mu Umeda', Then what you have to deal with may be the Eagle King."

Ming Xia quietly asked Nan Jiang, "What is the Eagle King?"

Nan Jiang didn't have time to explain to him, so he reached out and patted the back of his hand, signaling to talk about it later.

Ming Xia asked Qing Qiu again, "What is the Eagle King?"

Qingqiu had just slept in his arms for a while, and now he was shaken awake, his mind was still a little dazed, and his voice was soft, "Diao Wang...it seems to be a soap brand, right? You gave me the soap last time. I use the same one for washing towels. It still smells like grapefruit."

Ming Xia, "..."

Ming Xia shook it, "You are sober, I am talking about the carving king of the Gu carving."

Qingqiu was stimulated by the word Gu Diao, and his eyes widened, "Gu Diao?!"

Ming Xia recalled what Tang Xun had taught him during the big battle, "Very ferocious species, they will bring a large group of beasts to massacre the city, and they only eat the internal organs of living people... The monsters in my mind are them. Such."

"I remember senior brother said that the Gu carving group is actually very low-level." Qingqiu showed a thoughtful expression, "I don't remember what he said at the time, but they are similar to Taotie, and their IQ is generally not high. The only ones who have become fine are their leaders."

The leader who has become a spirit leads a group of similar people who have not enlightened their intelligence...

Ming Xia thought, why does this setting sound a bit like Monkey King?Of course, Monkey King is not that bloodthirsty, and he didn't specifically fight against humans.

"So only the Eagle King is sealed in the formation?"

"It seems so." Qingqiu shook his tail, and sat up from his arms, "I remember that the town demon commander gave a death order, and the group of Gu carvings will be killed if they see them, and no one will be left behind. Wake up, I don't know."

This statement is similar to what Tang Xun said.

"The place in Umeda is very wrong," Qingqiu began to whisper to him again, "The orientation, the distribution of plum trees... are all wrong, I think someone arranged it that way on purpose."

Ming Xia picked it up a little worriedly, "Didn't it mean that this race has been wiped out? Then the last time you saw it, could it be the Eagle King?"

Qingqiu blinked his eyes, "The Eagle King is lying in the seal."

"Then who did you see? A spirit body?"

"The spirit body should be in human form, right?" Qingqiu asked him back, "If the spirit body after cultivation is still an animal, then who will practice?"

Thinking about it this way, the question came back to the original point: Who was it that Qingqiu saw at the beginning?

Qingqiu himself could not answer this question.

So in the whole night before departure, it was always recalling the scene it saw that night: the nine-acre Umeda field under the dim moonlight, the layers of overlapping branches, and the fluffy little animals a little bigger than adult civet cats flying fast. He quickly climbed up the branch, then stopped vigilantly, and looked in its direction.

The four-legged animal has a pointed mouth somewhat similar to Qingqiu's, and two horns on its head, elk-like horns, with wanton and unassuming lines.

As if sensing the subtle hostility in the air, it suddenly spread a pair of wings, making a gesture to pounce towards Qingqiu - thinking about it afterwards, it should have been a threatening false gesture, but it suddenly spread its wings , really startled Qingqiu.

Before Qingqiu flapped his wings and fled, he noticed its eyes: round eyes, glowing golden yellow in the night, cold and full of killing intent.

In Qingqiu's memory, it has never seen such eyes before, just looking at them, the blood all over his body began to turn cold.
