to blame

Sure enough, as Ming Xia expected, everyone's way of thinking is similar.When Wen Liang held up the instrument and scanned back and forth with no results, he decisively took Li Youran to climb the highest sand mountain around.

An hour later, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and then... saw a long line of desert off-road vehicles speeding past on the sand in the distance.

People in the convoy quickly noticed them.The car at the end of the line turned around and came toward them.

When Wen Liang and Li Youran followed these people back to the oasis, it happened that the last convoy escorting the prisoners had just returned.

Six cars and more than 20 people parked in the open space by the lake.As soon as the car door was opened, the tightly bundled young people were pushed out of the car one by one, and they lined up according to some rules.The young man who escorted them back reprimanded them a few words, then suppressed them and locked them up.

Wen Liang and Li Youran leaned against the car door to watch the excitement.Li Youran was quite familiar with the Cao Ying family, so she quickly discovered that among the young people who were tied up were the Cao family and the Ying family, but the guards were all from the Ying family.

This is a bit strange.

The young man who brought them back explained that Xia and their leader were good friends. Li Youran and Wen Liang didn't know when Ming Xia and the Ying family began to call each other brothers again. Not long ago, Yingyuan Yingtai planned to plot against him. coming.By the way, who is the leader of these young people?

Could it be Yingyuan? !

The rivers and lakes meet each other, and the grievances are wiped out with a smile? !

The two were puzzled in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on the surface. They could only hold back their doubts and wait for Ming Xia to come back.

This waited until dark.

Li Youran was lying on the bed in a daze and almost fell asleep, but someone knocked on the door and shouted, and took her to another courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she was surprised. Not only did Wen Liang arrive first, but there were also several people sitting in the room. Acquaintances: Ming Xia, Bi Lao, Qing Qiu, Bai Ying and Xie Rong.

Li Youran hugged them one by one, and stopped awkwardly in front of Xie Rong, squeezed out a smile and shook hands with him.Then I found another person in the room who looked familiar.

"This is Wutong." Ming Xia introduced to everyone, "He is now the new leader of Zhu Huai."

The three words "new leader" are enough for everyone to complete all the plots.For them, this was a good thing that could be called a pleasant surprise—compared with a leader who had no idea what to do, there was no doubt that the new leader who took the initiative to get close to the sixth group was more welcome.

The whole room applauded Wutong, fully expressing their support and welcome to him.Wen Liang didn't quite understand the situation, but he slapped along with the crowd.Ming Xia is his most valued student, no matter what he says, Wen Liang will of course support him unconditionally.

After Ming Xia finished the introduction, she pulled Qingqiu to sit beside Wen Liang.He cherishes this opportunity to meet the teacher again very much.He had a lot of questions waiting to ask Wen Liang, but it was a team meeting after all, not a private gathering between the master and apprentice, so he could only hold back what he had to say.

Seeing Ming Xia staring at him one by one, Wen Liang felt that he was like a tearful big dog, pitiful and cute, so she couldn't help reaching out and stroking his head twice, "Don't worry, everyone is all right now. It's okay. I'll talk about it later."

Ming Xia nodded obediently, seeing that Wen Liang hadn't seen him in just half a month, and her temples were all gray, and she felt extremely sad.Wen Liang hasn't said anything yet, he has already imagined countless storylines of being abused and then looking for opportunities to escape.

Qingqiu squeezed between Mingxia and Wutong, with a pair of big eyes staring at Wen Liang's hand on Mingxia's head.I endured it and endured it, but I didn't dare to reach out and pull him.

Qingqiu still has an impression of this teacher, knowing that he is a very powerful person, Nanjiang dare not speak in front of him.

Ming Xia made up her mind and made her nose sore when she was moved.Looking back, he saw Qingqiu looking at him, and touched his head very naturally.Qingqiu squinted his eyes to enjoy Shunmao from Mingxia, but he thought in his heart: Sure enough, he came from the same line as his teacher, and the movements of touching the head are exactly the same as his teacher.

Nan Jiang was not present, and Li Youran became the acting captain of the action team according to the regulations.She summed up everyone's experience here: Bi Lao and Qingqiu came together, one fell by the lake, and the other plunged into the lake; Ming Xia was thrown in the desert and then climbed over the sand mountain to touch Entering the oasis, I met Wutong.

Xie Rong and Bai Ying were picked up by Wutong's people in the desert. Both of them were slightly injured, but luckily they were not serious.As for where the other team members were sent to by this outdated teleportation array that had been in disrepair for a long time, no one could say for a while.However, Wutong has a car and someone, and promised to continue to search around here. Everyone can only hope that they are more familiar with the terrain around here.

Knowing that they were eager to ask questions, Wen Liang stopped putting on airs and explained her experience to them patiently, "You all know that what I do in the sixth group is technical work. Weapons need to be updated, and we must constantly try to improve them." There are possible new materials. This is a lot of work, so when Commander Du first found me, I was very opposed to going out to the field - I am a technician, what role can I play by going to the front line? Is it a hindrance?"

Ming Xia nodded solemnly beside him, expressing his agreement with the teacher's point of view.He also felt that Wen Liang and Lu Kai shouldn't follow them. They are pure technicians and have no ability to protect themselves. Once a scuffle occurs, accidents are easy to happen.

"Later, Commander Du told me that the engineering personnel of the sixth group discovered a metal mine in the west area. This new type of metal material has... Well, several characteristics, in short, it is very powerful, and it is expected to replace traditional metal materials for use in The manufacture of firearms and weapons. Therefore, technicians are required to go to the site to conduct special inspections and assessments."

Ming Xia suddenly realized that this was the reason for abducting Wen Liang. The question is, is this reason true?If not, why did Commander Du do this?Could it be that he was also bought by monsters?

At present, the leadership of the Yaozhou branch, Commander Du has the greatest power to deploy personnel. If he is bribed...Ming Xia just thinks about this possibility, and feels a headache.

"The reason why Mr. Hu joined the team is because a part of the metal mine is located within the seal of a certain big monster, and someone needs to coordinate it." Wen Liang recalled and said: "It's probably like this. Our workshop , the staff of the technical department, and the soldiers brought by Commander Du formed a team and entered the western district."

"We passed the Bronze Pass, Mr. Hu and their technical soldiers were responsible for proofreading the direction. Oh, they have a map in their hands," Wen Liang said, "It's a strange map. I don't know the text marked on many places. And Some weird symbols."

In Ming Xia's mind, the huge map he saw when he followed the evil beast A Dan to the oasis appeared.Maybe what Wen Liang saw was the same map.

I just don't know whether this statement about prospecting mineral deposits is true or false?As far as he knew, although monsters also forged weapons, metal materials in the human world were not their first choice.For example, the dragon tongue bow, and the long whip and Emei thorn used by Lao Zhuhuai are all refined from the muscles and bones of the ancient monster.

"We went all the way north without any trouble. Then we arrived at the ancient city of Liangtai, and we were sent away by the teleportation array of the ancient city that night." Wen Liang thought for a while, "The place we went to is also such an oasis, with an area of ​​about It’s bigger than this one, but it’s heavily guarded. There are many monster clans gathered there. I don’t know many people, including Zhu Huai, Xuelang, and the Zong clan.”

Ming Xia's heart skipped a beat.

After the water scorpion incident, he can be regarded as leaving a shadow on the long strip.Hearing Wen Liang mention the Xi clan, his scalp felt a little numb.

"Then our people were separated," Wen Liang said: "I am good at manufacturing, and they arranged to check and repair the transmission array. Mr. Hu and the others went to do other work. I eavesdropped on it, as if to let them Please help me find where, what coordinates are wrong, etc.”

Ming Xia subconsciously looked at Wutong.

Wu Tong nodded and said: "I also overheard a few words, it seems that the coordinates recorded in the handed down materials are wrong, and they need to reconfirm the exact location of the coordinates."

Ming Xia was extremely curious, "What are the coordinates?"

Wen Liang and Wu Tong shook their heads together.

Wen Liang said: "Their teleportation array is about to be scrapped, and the two monsters assigned to monitor me are also careless. I played a trick and activated a door in the teleportation array, and then they were sent here .If I hadn’t met your Captain Li, and later met Wutong’s team, I don’t know what would have happened.”

Ming Xia quickly hugged him, "Teacher, you have worked hard."

Wen Liang pushed him away in disgust, but his eyes showed that he was very useful, "It's nothing hard. But their teleportation array is indeed lacking in maintenance. It's hard to say how many times it can be used, but it is a fact that it is about to be scrapped. "

Ming Xia's heart skipped a beat again.He has always suspected that his teacher is not a human being. Now it seems that he still knows the teleportation array of the monster race and can repair it. It sounds like it is not a technology that humans can possess.

Ming Xia grabbed Wen Liang's hand, and boldly wrote in his palm: Teacher, what exactly is your body?

Wen Liang glanced at him sideways, squeezed his paw and wrote: I am the teacher and the second head of the Xi clan.

Ming Xia shivered and looked up at him in horror.

Wen Liang smiled mischievously, and turned her head to ignore him.

Ming Xia patted his chest in shock, and leaned over to continue asking, "Teacher, you lied to me, right?"

Wen Liang generously admitted, "Yes."

Ming Xia, "..."

Ming Xia walked towards Qingqiu in a desperate manner, not daring to tease Wen Liang anymore.

Elder Bi also had an idea here, "Since Xiao Wen said that the oasis they went to was similar to this one, could it be one of the seven oases?"

Of the seven oases, except for the four that Wutong took over, there are three that they haven't been to.Remove the one dropped by Qingqiu and Bi Lao, and there are two more.According to Wutong, the two oases located on the farthest star position of the seven-star spoon handle: Kaiyang and Yaoguang, are larger than the oases behind.But because of the distance, he has not been there.

Li Youran thought for a while and said, "Whether it is true or not, we must find out."

Ming Xia also agreed, "I will go with Qingqiu."

"Let's go together." Li Youran said, "Bai Ying and I will be your backup."

Xie Rong also quickly stated, "I'll go too. Everyone is scattered now, and I'm also a member of the team, so I don't want to stay behind you all the time."

His expression was so sincere that others didn't know what to say.Even Bi Lao hesitated again and again, and nodded in agreement.

After the Ming Xia meeting, they took Li Youran and Bai Ying to a small meeting quietly.

Li Youran knew what he was worried about, so she patted her chest and assured him, "Whether it's me or Bai Ying, he's no match for him if we fight him openly. If you try to do something secretly, you'll lose your chance. We're all on guard against him."

Bai Ying also agreed, "I think it's good to let him follow, at least under our noses. If we really keep him here, Mr. Bi and Mr. Wen may not be able to watch him. Who knows what tricks he can do?"

Several people discussed and went back to rest. The next morning, before dawn, Wutong had already prepared vehicles and supplies for them. Several people took the map given by Wutong and the equipment that Wenliang had modified overnight, and headed south all the way. up.

At the same time as their five-person team set off, in the depths of the oasis hundreds of miles away, Nan Jiang hurried through the bushes with a plastic bag in his hands, picked up the thickest dry willow by the lake and climbed up. .

This old dry willow has a very gentle personality. When Nanjiang first chose it as a hiding place, it also resisted very much, swinging the long branches, trying to suck people down.Later, Nanjiang threatened him with the name of Zhenyaosi, so he was honest.

It has just opened up its spiritual wisdom, but it also knows that the demon clan in this world is under the jurisdiction of the demon suppressor, so it no longer opposes Nanjiang, but defends him everywhere.Whenever there are other monsters passing by nearby, it will always cover the Nanjiang River with dense branches and issue warnings in advance.

One person and one monster, they cooperated very tacitly.
