After Han Xue's narration, Lin Fei roughly understood what happened.
The matter of going to the spirit world needs to be reported. Han Xue has made arrangements, and Lin Fei will be notified of the departure time.
Because we are very anxious to send people to solve this matter, it shouldn't take long to arrange everything, and there should be news tomorrow.
Lin Fei ended the call with Han Xue, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and thought to himself.
"The number of strongholds in the spiritual world has increased a lot."
"According to the current construction speed, the number of new strongholds built this year will be twice that of last year."
"The speed of building gathering points will slow down next year, and then we will focus on developing the resources around the strongholds that have been built."
"This time, the stronghold in the spirit world was attacked by poisonous insects. Although these poisonous insects are not alien beasts, there must be alien beasts controlling it behind the scenes."
"I'm going to help solve it. You should be able to solve the problem soon."
Lin Fei thought for a while, drank the remaining water in the cup on the coffee table, then used his space teleportation ability and headed to the training site.
…………
Spiritual world.
Lin Fei's figure appeared out of thin air. Although he could use the power of space teleportation to instantly travel to the human strongholds he had visited before, he still had to wait for Han Xue to complete the procedures before leaving.
The daily routine of practice soon began, the spiritual energy floating in the air surged rapidly, and the spiritual energy tide quickly formed.
Some strange beasts that had been waiting for a long time immediately became very excited when they saw the spiritual tide appear.
As Lin Fei practiced in this place longer and longer, he heard about many strange beasts in distant places.
These alien beasts are thinking about moving to live near Lin Fei's training place. Under the current situation, even if some alien beasts are hesitant about the long journey, they will definitely not be able to help but go as they get more and more information.
After all, cultivating against the tide of spiritual energy is more efficient than laboriously cultivating the spiritual energy floating in the air.
In order to become stronger, the hard work of traveling long distances is nothing.
…………
Zecheng.
The endless lake is illuminated by the sun, and the waves are so sparkling that it is difficult to look directly at it.
Some people living in the city will come outside the city to fish at the lake.
Although there are strange animals in the lake, there are basically no strange animals in the water area near the shore.
This is the result of the pig-headed soldiers in Zecheng defeating the strange beasts in the lake many years ago.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked forward and saw Zecheng located by the lake.
At this moment, he was standing on a high slope, looking at the city in the distance.
The sparkling lake surface is very eye-catching, and the many people fishing by the lake are also very eye-catching.
According to the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead, many fish in the country come from this endless lake in front of him.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came down from the high slope and walked quickly towards the city in the distance.
When he came to the city gate, he found that the queue entering the city was still very long.
Of course, the queue was much shorter than when he went out in the morning.
However, he now queued up at the end of the queue and calculated the speed of the current movement of the queue. It might be time for lunch when he entered the city.
Originally, he got up early this morning and went out, thinking to finish the task at hand as soon as possible, and then seize the time to do other tasks.
Now because I have to queue up to go into town, I have wasted the time I saved smoking.
Although the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt a little depressed, he felt relieved when he thought that this was to prevent rebels from causing trouble in the city.
"roar……"
A beast roared in the distance, and the sound came from the direction of the lake. This startled the people lining up to enter the city.
You know, it was broad daylight, and there were sounds of strange animals coming from the direction of the lake. This was something I had never encountered before.
The soldiers on the city wall reacted very quickly and immediately went to check. Various long-range weapons were aimed in the direction of the lake.
Immediately afterwards, a group of cavalry ran out of the city and ran towards the lake in the distance.
Because the lake is not far from the city gate, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead can see what is going on by looking directly into the distance.
A strange beast was caught by a fisherman and struggled and screamed.
Fortunately, the fishermen were also practitioners, so they were not dragged into the water.
At this time, the caught alien animal had been dragged ashore. It was more than three meters long, and the cry coming from its mouth was so sharp that it could be heard from a long distance away.
People queuing up at the city gate to enter the city looked curiously at the strange beast that was caught ashore. Most of them were laughing and laughing, and did not think it was anything serious.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead could not help but frowned when he saw this because he was in the army and had some knowledge of Zecheng's situation.
Many years ago, the alien beasts in the lake were defeated by the pig-headed man. The two parties signed a contract that no alien beasts were allowed to appear in the waters near the shore, and no aliens were allowed to disturb the residents of the city during the day.
Nowadays, there are strange animals approaching the shore, and they also make such a sharp cry in broad daylight, which completely violates the terms of the previously signed contract, which makes people feel wary.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the strange beast that was fished ashore, with various thoughts swirling in his heart.
The soldiers who came out to check surrounded the strange beast, gave some money to the person who caught the strange beast, and then took the strange beast away.
The passers-by lining up to enter the city were talking a lot, and the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was not surprised by this.
The sun in the sky was shining brighter and hotter, and the passers-by waiting in line to enter the city were so exposed that they lost the strength to speak. They all remained silent, waiting for their turn to enter the city.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had much stronger endurance than the passers-by around him. After waiting for a long time, when it was his turn to enter the city, everyone around him was listless, but his mental state was not.
fine.
"Go in quickly and don't block the people behind." The soldiers guarding the city gate shouted.
Passers-by walking slowly towards the city quickened their pace. After the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead entered the city, he immediately went to the place where the carriage was parked on the roadside.
Because there were many people lining up outside the city to enter the city, the coachman who learned the news immediately rushed to the city gate to pick up the business.
In order not to cause traffic jams, the officials responsible for managing this area designated a small area for parking empty carriages.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got an empty carriage, told the coachman the address, and then got on the carriage.
This driver is also a talkative person and will chat with people during the journey to the destination.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was bored anyway, so he asked if anything worthy of attention had happened in the city this morning.
"Originally, we haven't seen any troop movements in the past two days, but then we heard that rebels were planning to sneak into the city again, which led to more troop movements..." The coachman recalled what he saw this morning.
"There are no signs of rebels sneaking into the city yet, right?" the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead asked again.
"I picked up passengers this morning and traveled to many places. There was no chaos. The rebels probably haven't entered the city yet," the coachman replied.
"Oh." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead responded.
"Actually, I think the rebels should not dare to sneak into the city again." The coachman laughed.
"Why do you think so?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead asked in surprise when he heard this point of view.
"Although everyone says that the rebels are risking their lives, I think they also know that it is dangerous to come back at this time and will not deliberately take risks.
The reason why he said such harsh words about sneaking into the city was just to trick the soldiers guarding the city..." the coachman analyzed.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not refute the coachman, because ordinary people did not know much about the rebels, so it was not surprising that they would come to this idea.
He had also participated in operations to encircle and suppress the rebels before, and he had a deep memory of the rebels' fierceness.
Since they said they would sneak into the city again, they would definitely keep their word.
The two chatted, time passed very quickly, and they quickly arrived at their destination.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead paid the money after getting out of the car. As before, he did not let the driver leave, but waited for him on the roadside.
When he arrived at the place where he handed over the task, he handed the picked flowers to the other party and received a sum of money.
Then continue to look for tasks that can be completed, preferably in an afternoon.
Although it is noon, there are many people here looking for tasks.
There weren't many people there at the beginning. They felt that the city was a bit unsafe and they didn't dare to come out, lest they get into trouble.
Later, we found out that nothing serious happened, so we all came out to continue taking on the mission.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, crossed over to where the people were and looked around. He actually found a mission that could be completed in just one afternoon.
After accepting the mission, he left the crowded area and walked quickly towards the carriage parked on the roadside in the distance.
"Where are you going next?" the coachman asked.
"Have you had lunch?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not say where he was going, but first asked if he had had lunch.
"I've already eaten." In order to save money, the coachman ate dry food and ate it early.
"Is there a decent restaurant nearby? If you know it, send me there." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded and said.
"I know there is a very delicious noodle shop near here." The coachman recalled for a moment, and then said.
"Okay, let's go to that noodle shop." The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead made the decision, and the coachman immediately drove the carriage there.
Lunch was eaten quickly, and then it was off to the city to continue completing the mission.
In the afternoon, there were fewer people leaving the city, so the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the city quickly.
At this time, he was standing near the city gate, looking at the queues of people lining up to enter the city, thinking that if he continued at this speed, many people might not be able to enter the city in the evening.
"I have to hurry up and complete the task and come back early to queue up, otherwise I will be among the people who can't enter the city tonight."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, considered the possibility of not being able to enter the city, felt the urgency to complete the task, and quickly walked away.
…………
"roar……"
The shrill roar of beasts sounded in the distant woods, and the sounds of things breaking continued one after another.
After a while, two figures ran out of the woods.
They are two strange beasts, one white and one black, exuding a ferocious aura.
Among them, the black beast had many wounds on its body. It ran quickly, trying to get rid of the enemies behind it.
It's a pity that the white beast is in hot pursuit and doesn't give its prey a chance to escape.
After a chase, the white beast finally caught its prey.
A fierce battle broke out, and despite a struggle, he could not escape death in the end.
The victorious white beast was elated and was about to feast on the food when he suddenly saw someone standing on a high slope in the distance.
"roar……?"
Originally, one prey was not enough to fill its stomach, but now another prey appeared, which made the beast extremely happy.
Then, it ran happily towards the figure standing on the high slope in the distance.
"I didn't expect to find the target so quickly." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the alien beast with a smile on his face.
It had only been an hour since he left Zecheng. He thought it would take two hours to find the target, but now that he had found it so quickly, he was very happy.
"roar……"
The strange beast didn't know what kind of enemy it was going to face. At this moment, it only felt happy about getting the second portion of food.
Both parties are in a good mood, but one of them will soon become desperate.
The alien beast swooped towards him, and the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead dodged to the side and avoided it easily.
After the alien beast landed, it made a shallow hole in the ground, and the strong air waves blew some fallen leaves away.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead dodged the attack of the alien beast and immediately pounced on the prey with his feet on the ground.
"Bang."
The speed was so fast that the alien beast had no time to dodge. After receiving a punch, its whole body flew up, flew upside down, and hit a tree in the distance, directly breaking the tree in half.
"roar……!!!"
The injured beast was bleeding from its seven holes, and its eyes were full of fear at this moment.
As soon as the idea of escape appeared, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had already arrived in front of it.
"Pfft."
The sharp weapons pierce the vital points of the alien beasts, giving the alien beasts no chance to escape.
"nailed it."
"Then we just need to bring its teeth back and the task will be completed."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile on his face, and then started to pull out the teeth of the alien beast.
