Outside the ‘V’-shaped rift valley, the wind blew and lavender miasma rolled.
In the valley, the huge blood tree looked like branches with skinned human hands, swaying gently and seeming to be trembling.
The shouts were scattered in the wind, and seemed to use some unique diffusion technique, vibrating in the form of echoes. Although they were separated by a short distance, they were clearly transmitted to Lin Mo's ears.
This voice...
Lin Mo's heart moved, and he opened his mouth and slowly closed it, not ready to bite.
Turn around and look behind you at the source of the sound.
In just two breaths, light blue and red firelight appeared in the miasma like a sea of clouds outside the rift valley.
One blue and one red, two figures quickly flew over from a distance, and then fell straight down from the sky like an elevator.
Finally, it landed smoothly five or six meters away from the end of the forest.
Among them, Lan Ying is standing slightly forward. He is a man with a mechanical gem prosthetic eye in his left eye. He is wearing a white battle armor. Behind the lotus hem of the armor, there is a honeycomb-shaped triangular bag bulge. There is still a blue afterglow at this time.
Never extinguished.
The red figure is slightly behind. He is also a man, but his face is more handsome, with black hair shawl, and behind him is a giant black ruler that is as tall as a person. There is a faint medicinal fragrance permeating his body.
"Brother Lin... I... I haven't seen you for a long time!" Seeing that Lin Mo did not continue to attack, the man in white armor was extremely excited. A shy and excited smile appeared on his face, he hesitated to speak, and finally said loudly.
"Are you...Shouyi?" Lin Mo's memory was not bad. Although the person in front of him was somewhat different from the image in his memory, he still recognized him after careful observation.
"You're actually still alive..." He never expected that he would meet an old friend from the past here, and he couldn't help but be moved and laughed.
His smile is sincere, not the fake smile that used to cater to others.
The two of them didn't interact too much, but Lin Mo left a deep impression on them.
Although I was born in a small place, I don’t feel sorry for myself. Instead, I have the good character of being diligent, conscientious, hard-working, kind, and repaying kindness. I am willing to strive for a better life.
Although he was a bit naive and could even be said to be stupid, Lin Mo admired him very much.
This was also the reason why he was willing to take care of this little brother back then.
It was just that during the Huaiping Incident, the latter was imprisoned for unknown reasons. When he subsequently searched for him, he disappeared without a trace.
I didn't expect to meet him again today in Guantian Gorge in Yizhou, tens of thousands of miles away.
Moreover, the other party seems to have many secrets.
His eyes paused on her for a moment, and his smile became even more gratifying, "Shouyi, congratulations, you finally realized your old dream."
The opponent truly started out as an ordinary person, practicing martial arts, and finally reached the point where he is now a master with an aura equal to that of a true king.
Such a span is no less than a rural boy starting a business and becoming a business tycoon more than ten years later.
You don't need to think about it to know how much effort and tears went into it.
"Brother Lin...I, I'm actually average, but I'm the best brother Lin. No wonder I was so talented back then that I was able to enter Lingxi Villa directly. Now I think I'm one of the best in the world." Wang Shouyi felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.
Admired.
"I guess." Lin Mo couldn't help but feel sad for a moment when he heard the name 'Lingxi Courtyard' hidden deep in his memory. After coming back to his senses, he nodded slightly,
"In today's world of Chi County, there really aren't many people who can beat me."
Once upon a time, when he was studying in Huaiping, he was so weak, but now, I don't know when, he has reached a height that is unimaginable by ordinary people.
Everything I feel, see, and know is all weak and fragile, and when I look up, there are even fewer people beside me.
"Who is this...?" Only then did Lin Mo see the giant man standing behind Wang Shouyi.
The more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, "Long time no see, Commander Zhou Yan?"
"Are you...?" Unlike Wang Shouyi, Zhou Yan was a little confused at this time and did not recognize Lin Mo.
"Ningyang City, Xu family." Lin Mo laughed dumbly and continued to prompt.
This person can be regarded as a man of great luck. Before the Huang Tianjiao uprising, he disappeared.
But unexpectedly, he was not dead.
Later, Lin Mo also met him several times. Every time he met him, his strength had a breakthrough, and the span was not small.
Now he has actually reached the True Lord level.
At this moment, Zhou Yan, who heard this, frowned and couldn't help but take two steps forward and looked at Lin Mo.
There seems to be some uncertainty.
After a few breaths, he tried to speak out: "Are you... Lin... Lin Mo from Xu's Pharmacy?"
Lin Mo smiled and nodded.
"No, it's you? How is this possible?!" Zhou Yan was stunned when he received the confirmation, and finally couldn't stand it any longer.
He was actually very impressed by Lin Mo during the Ningyang City period.
At that time, he was only in his early teens, and he was over three meters tall. He was as tall as a hill. His innate supernatural power was so powerful that the other three families in Ningyang were unable to lift their heads.
How not to impress?
But the 'macho' little guy in the past became smaller and smaller as he grew longer, as if he had shrunk. Now he has become a well-known overlord in the world, and he can't help but be shocked.
"So many years have passed, and old friends are withering away one after another, like leaves falling in the wind." Lin Mo said with a hint of sadness.
At different times, people will come into contact with different people and enter different circles.
This is quite normal.
But I have to admit that the more people and things you meet when you are young, the more impressive they are and the easier it is to miss them.
No, really speaking, maybe what I miss is not the friends and old friends of the past themselves, but what I can see from them, the myself back then...
Feeling a little bit emotional.
"The three of us are all acquaintances, we are all old friends, but you are here..." Lin Mo calmed down, looked at the two of them, then at the ancient flesh and blood tree behind him, and asked directly.
It's time to get down to business.
The ancient tree of flesh and blood involves the Thousand Feather Immortal Seeds and affects the heavenly changes. It is reasonable for him to eat it, but Wang Shouyi called out to him.
He wanted to hear the explanation.
Especially after feeling the strange aura on the other person's body.
You must know that its aura is completely different from Chixian Martial Arts, and even different from Qianyu Realm Immortal Dao. It is a very pure and righteous wave.
Wang Shouyi opened his mouth when he heard the words, but hesitated, but looked at Lin Mo and quickly plucked up the courage. In order to realize the plan, Lin Mo was an unavoidable link no matter what.
And in his eyes, he didn't believe that Lin Mo would remain indifferent after knowing the truth!
Thinking of this, he made a long story short. First, he was recognized as the master of Bingmu No. 3, and then he went through a series of adventures, discovered the truth about the change in the sky, and told all of the series of events that were the only ones known so far that could save Chi County.
Nothing to hide.
At the end, explain why Lin Mo was asked to stop temporarily.
"Thousand Machine Realm? Gate of Apocalypse, Autonomy...?" Lin Mo pondered after hearing the words.
Although his face remained unchanged, a look of shock inevitably appeared in his eyes.
He is no stranger to the former. The most recent one was from the mouth of True Lord Montenegro.
What really surprised him was that the so-called Thousand Machine Realm actually suppressed the Thousand Feather Realm and the situation seemed to be even more unbearable than the situation described by True Monarch Black Mountain.
"Can you let Bingmu No. 3 come out and have a look with me?" Lin Mo asked.
"Let me ask." Wang Shouyi hesitated a little and whispered.
Raising his hand, the silver-white arm armor was originally tight and seamless, but now a square circular groove appeared.
In the groove is a blue crystal mirror.
The mirror is not smooth in the conventional sense, but full of edges and corners.
"Xiao Bing, this is my brother Lin. He wants to chat with you, is that okay?" Wang Shouyi asked softly.
After so many years of exile and contact, Wang Shouyi did not regard Bingmu No. 3 as a tool, but truly regarded it as a friend.
Lin Mo is his good big brother, and he can help him do things unconditionally, but that doesn't mean that Bingmu No. 3 has to do the same.
"This is Bingmu No. 3. I...accept the host's order." After a few breaths, an indifferent voice sounded.
When the voice sounded, Lin Mo clearly saw a constantly rotating Rubik's Cube appearing on the light blue mirror.
"Hello, fellow Daoist Bingmu, may I ask where you are from, why you are here, and what empire you are talking about?" He pondered slightly and asked bluntly.
He has already seen that this so-called Bingmu No. 3 is said to be a machine, but it is already similar to a human soul. It is somewhat like the artificial intelligence he has come into contact with in his previous life and has independent thinking.
The Rubik's Cube rotated slowly, and it did not expect that its host this time would have such an unusual identity and background, and that he would have such a powerful elder brother.
A six-star life form, even if it is his original host, is nothing more than this.
In this world where vitality is at a low ebb, he is a well-deserved top powerhouse.
"Hello, this is Hyogi No. 3. It's my honor to serve you." The mechanical voice said indifferently: "Hyoki No. 3 came from the Targon Star. When the empire was conquering a foreign world, it crashed.
Chi County, the empire is the Second Empire of Nuoxing Otan."
It is divided into categories and answers Lin Mo's questions.
Lin Mo digested several new terms that appeared.
"The alien world is the Qianyu Realm?"
"Yes."
"What is the Titan Peak Star?" Lin Mo asked again.
"The Targon Star is one of the thirteen stars in the Second Empire of Nuo Xing Otan, and one of the three origin stars of the empire's armor."
Lin Mo felt a slight shiver in his heart. If based on the known information, this so-called Second Empire of Nuoxing Otan is the Thousand Machine Realm mentioned by True Monarch Black Mountain, and it is obvious that its power is much stronger than the Thousand Feather Realm, and even stronger than the Qianyu Realm.
Chi County.
"Please tell me when the empire will actually lock the location of Chi County, and what kind of actions will it take after locking it in?" he continued to ask.
"The Tianzhe Armor has its own positioning function. Although the signal source is weak and the signal propagation is weakened, with the recent destruction of the boundary, the real-time signal has been transmitted through the Atonx signal encryption method and collected by the Eye of Ares, the main star of the empire.
,
According to the Atonkes formula, in a finite number of world propagations, the signal propagation speed and distance are related to the third exhaustion. Currently, Bingmu-3 is conducting numerical simulations and historical matching with existing database data. It is estimated that in ten natural years
Later, the signal will be received by the Eye of Ares."
Bingmu No.3 said in a mechanical voice:
"Due to the connection between Alien World and Chixian, Alien World is a positive seven-star world, which complies with the Empire's Second Dispatch Decree. The Empire will send a legion headed by the Marshal for conquest.
At the same time, due to the special nature of the alien world, it is not ruled out that the title corps will join."
"The marshal is a seven-star life form?" Lin Mo asked suddenly. From Wang Shouyi's words, he had learned about the so-called star classification rules from the empire.
Among them, the ten immortals of the Thousand Feather Realm are the seven-star life forms.
As for Taozu, it is six stars.
"Yes."
"What about the title legion?" Lin Mo asked again.
"The title of the commander of the legion is also a marshal level, but because the latter's strength and the number of fleets under his jurisdiction far exceed that of an ordinary marshal, and he has a record of wiping out more than ten seven-star lives,
Therefore, I was personally canonized by the empire and given a unique title."
Lin Mo's thoughts were floating in his mind. The so-called title of marshal, simply put, is a genius among marshals, who can cross borders and conquer like drinking water.
This kind of people are difficult to deal with.
Just like him.
"In the empire...are there any people who are above the marshal level?"
"Of course, marshals are divided into five stars. After breaking through the eight-star life form, you can be promoted to the generalissimo. Above the generalissimo, there is the head of state. The empire covers many star fields, and there is a head of state in any star field."
Lin Mo was silent, so no wonder Qian Yujie was so powerful that he had no choice but to flee.
The Ten Immortals are equivalent to the seven-star life forms, that is, the Marshals, and above the Marshals there is actually the Grand Marshal, and the so-called Head of State.
Such a huge empire, of course it cannot be defeated if the young ones are defeated by the old ones.
"So, if we speed up the signal transmission in advance and wait until the empire comes, what should we do if we want to apply for regional autonomy?" Lin Mo continued to ask.
"Join the empire and then apply to the head of state under your jurisdiction." Bingmu No. 3 answered.
Then, Lin Mo carefully inquired about the specific situation of the so-called Noxing Otan Second Empire, such as the proportion and number of strong masters.
After learning that one of the legions had hundreds or even thousands of six-star life forms, that one star field had more than double-digit legions, and that the empire had thousands of star fields, even he couldn't help but be shocked.
In the entire Thousand Feathers Realm, the number of apparent masters in that empire is actually equivalent to only one star field.
No...that's just the military...
Not counting the folk...
After finishing the inquiry, Lin Mo agreed to Wang Shouyi's request to use the ancient flesh tree as reactor fuel to enhance signal transmission.
But only a small part of it was given.
This is like riding a donkey to find a horse, betting on both ends, and not putting all your eggs in one basket.
There is still such a long time, and if he cannot grow up to the point where he can solve the problem, then he will have no choice but to take a gamble according to Wang Shouyi's idea.
This time, I really learned a lot of secrets, and Lin Mo had no intention of staying any longer.
When Wang Shouyi intercepted a part of the ancient flesh tree, he swallowed the remaining part in one gulp, then parted ways with the two of them and returned directly to the Yin River Shrine.
Continue to practice quietly, digest the materials obtained from Taoist Guangmiao, the Prince of Inner Demons, and the True Lord of Black Mountain in the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones.
In this way, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The Cave Heaven Key and the Dragon Gate Seed promised by Yu Wenji and others were finally delivered.
