Chapter 99 Digging a Pit (1)
After more than an hour of hidden traces in the dark, the warriors gradually fell asleep. It was of no value to continue. Hong Yu silently returned to the stone chamber and then restored the formation.
He believed that even if the person who arranged the formation came by himself, he would not be able to see that the formation had been tampered with.
The two people at the door were already asleep, while the other looked at the moon without notice.
Hong Yu lay on the bed, silently digesting some of the messages he had just heard.
During that hour just now, the three words he heard the most were blood, natural barriers, and city-states.
Although most of the messages I got were fragmented, Hong Yu pieced them together and finally had a general understanding of the Hezuo Continent where he was located.
The Hezuo Continent uses surnames and blood as a bond to form a power network and rule the entire continent.
The powerful country here is composed of city-states. There are "natural chasms" blocking between city-states and countries. If it weren't for the natural chasms that were really difficult to cross, the warriors of Hezuo Continent, who were warlike by nature would immediately break out of a war that spreads the entire continent.
As for why martial arts in the Hezuo Continent develops so prosperously and the warriors are so powerful, Hong Yu has not yet found the reason.
Hong Yu couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Chi Xi, can you understand it?"
The voice of the Qixi Sword Spirit sounded in my mind, and I said, "It seems that there is a shadow of the Cangli Ancient Dynasty, but I can't be sure now, let's take a look."
Hong Yu nodded silently.
The Ji family is among the eight major families of the Yuqian Dynasty. The Tianji City ruled by it is also one of the eight major city-states of the Yuqian Dynasty, and can be regarded as one of the top families of the Yuqian Dynasty.
There are four types of Ji family elite bloodlines known now: Qingyang bloodline, Xihe bloodline, Limu bloodline and Shanpan bloodline.
This camp was secretly established three years ago. Even in the Hezuo Continent, the Mother River Desert Forest Belt still exists and is still one of the very dangerous areas. Building a camp here consumes huge resources, and there are people who are injured or killed by the attack of the wild beasts almost every day. Before Hong Yu came, he had just experienced a battle here, killing the nine-headed wild beasts, but a Ji family warrior was also killed.
Ordinary warriors don’t understand why the family set up camp here, but they just vaguely speculate that it may be related to the “those things” next to the mother river.
Regarding the Ji family, Hong Yu only heard that there were three "masters" in the Ji family, Ji Gang was the eldest master. There were also the second master, the third master and the fifth lady, but he did not hear any news about his mother.
Hong Yu couldn't help but guess what kind of person his mother was? With all kinds of beautiful fantasies, Hong Yu fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, he was woken up by a rough knock on the door, and then the door was opened roughly. Two guards came in and threw a simple breakfast in front of him: "Eat quickly and set off."
The breakfast was just torn into pieces and cooked in the porridge. In this environment, Hong Yu didn't pick on it anymore and drank it a few sips and wiped his mouth: "Okay."
There was already a team waiting in the open space in the center of the camp.
The team was full of cavalry, and each knight had a magical war horse under his crotch. Only Ji Xiao, who was wearing armor, had a fifth-grade wild beast under his crotch, with a horned head, blood-red eyes, and a scale armor that was no worse than the defense of his master's armor.
This fifth-grade wild beast was extremely irritable and kept roaring, which scared the other knights and war horses backed back and dared not approach it.
Ji Xiao kept slapping the neck of the mount and comforting it softly, which calmed the wild beast a little.
Ji Yun was going to be in charge of the camp, so he sent another first-grade Hezhen strongman to accompany him. No one knew Hong Yu's identity, and probably no one would be unfavorable to him. This journey was actually not dangerous.
When Hong Yu was brought here, he saw that there was only one wild beast mount, so he guessed that taming the wild beast here was still a difficult problem. His identity as a beast master seemed to be able to be used as a stubborn beast.
When Ji Xiao saw him, he immediately tightened his mount.
"Boy, your eyes are brighter, don't get close to General Xiao's mount. That demon rhino is General Xiao's treasure. If you hurt you, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky." A guard reminded him.
Although the Fierce Demon Rhino is only a fifth-grade wild beast, its owner is a second-grade one.
Hong Yu smiled slightly, not caring about it.
Seeing Hong Yu walking straight over without any intention of avoiding him, the guard who reminded him snorted and waited to see Hong Yu’s unlucky fortune. Don’t say that you are a third-grade saint, even if you are a second-grade saint, the Lie Demon Rhino will still pounce on and bite without fear - this is a lesson from the past. Another general of the Ji family was a second-grade saint. When he met for the first time, he thought that his realm could suppress the Lie Demon Rhino without any suspense, so he walked over in a panic. As a result, the Lie Demon Rhino suddenly launched a sudden attack and bit off one of his fingers.
This incident was very big at that time. Ji Xiao refused to protect his mount, which directly led to a promising female general who was sent to guard the deserted forest belt of the Mother River.
Ji Xiao was also a little surprised. Hong Yu, who was irritable, would definitely think that this was a provocation. She hurriedly pressed the neck of the mount, but to her surprise, the expected mount was furious and kicked and did not appear. Her palm pressed on the neck of the mount without feeling any reaction force. The mount obediently lowered his head, and then became more severe. His front legs fell down, and his head rested on the ground, facing Hong Yu.
This scene surprised everyone, and only Ji Xiao understood what the posture of the Lie Demon Rhino means: it was inviting Hong Yu to ride on it.
Although the Fierce Demon Rhino is only a fifth-grade wild beast, it is famously irritable. Once it gets angry, it can often burst out the combat power of the fourth-grade wild beast. This is also what makes people love and hate.
Unless such a wild beast is first-grade and true, even if it is second-grade god who walks in front of it carelessly, it will be considered a provocation, and it will definitely be furious and want to give people a little color.
Even if it is a first-grade true, it can only prevent it from daring to attack. Like now, it actually actively invites Hong Yu to ride on his back, and the flattery is unique.
Hong Yu understood what this wild beast meant. His head was already on the ground and he could ride on its back if he walked up. However, there was already a slender female general on it. Hong Yu really wanted to go up. After looking at the Xuan Soldier spear with a dove egg thickness beside Ji Xiao, he shook his head wisely.
He walked over to the Lie Demon Rhino and turned a blind eye to the Lie Demon Rhino's diligence.
Next, a scene that made Ji Xiao stunned appeared. Hong Yu refused to accept the flattery of the demon rhinoceros. The wild beast was not giving up. His head was arched to the ground, and the most heated air was cracked. It actually leaned towards Hong Yu again. His huge head rubbed towards Hong Yu like a puppy, and he let out a roar of pleasingness and roar in his mouth - this was not even Ji Xiao himself could be treated.
Ji Xiao personally feeds his mount every day. Over the years, he has saved his mount's life at least five times, but she has not treated him like this. Why did a young man suddenly change his temperament and show his attention when he first met him?
The people around were also surprised. Everyone knows what kind of virtue Ji Xiao’s mount is. Isn’t it seeking death when Hong Yu walked over so swayingly? But the result surprised everyone. The Demon Rhino was as flattering as a little man.
Hong Yu pushed the demon rhinoceros away, then turned over to the war horse he prepared for. Unexpectedly, the war horse actually roared with joy, and the four hooves were splashed in excitement.
The demon rhinoceros was extremely annoyed, his eyes turned bloody and he was waiting for the war horse jealously.
Everyone even opened their mouths: This kid is born with affinity with the beast race? What's wrong. From a strong demon rhinoceros to a war horse, it's not as simple as being friendly, it's just a wholehearted and pleasing.
Ji Xiao patted his mount's head in anger and scolded him: "It's not embarrassing enough to see him, let's go."
Ji Xiao rectified the team, bowed to Ji Yun in the distance, and then led the team out of the camp.
Ji Yun stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, with a puzzled look in his deep eyes. Since Hong Yu appeared yesterday, he has been observing the boy in secret. It seems that he has nothing too strange, but Ji Yun always feels that he is not that simple.
Just now, a wild beast and a war horse, the abnormal reaction just proved his guess.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the abnormality just now can only be regarded as a novelty. After they drank one time, they would suddenly remember to tell others about it as a joke, but they would not really think deeply about anything deep in their hearts. But for Ji Yun, what he saw was definitely not that simple.
It's just the constitution of a wild beast's affinity? What a joke, haven't you seen that the strong demon rhino flatter to such a level? It's impossible to reach this level by being friendly or even fear alone.
What secret is Hong Yu's body that makes the wild beasts and war horses "degenerate" into that way Ji Yun didn't know, but he knew that Hong Yu was definitely not simple.
"General Ji Xiao, please wait a moment"
Ji Yun suddenly felt that his report needed to be revised and that he must add this matter.
He quickly chased after him, Ji Xiao in front of him held the mount of the wild beast. Ji Yun came forward and said, "I suddenly remembered that the report needs to be revised."
Ji Xiao was a little confused.
Half an hour later, Ji Xiao's team guards took the new report and sent Hong Yu away from the camp.
