Chapter three hundred and sixty-eight of his traces
The grandmaster of the Lei family glanced at the young man's broken arm with a joking gaze.
"As expected of the son of the Minister of Military Affairs, even though he lost an arm and was forced to withdraw from the battle of Lingdao and returned to the fortress to recuperate... Oh, no, he was sitting in command, but he could still persist like this. I admire him. However, others are not like Li
The young master, with such a good background, fell into the enemy's lair and was destined to die, but he was rescued by friendly forces at all costs..."
Before the Grandmaster of the Lei family finished speaking, the guards behind Li Yu could no longer listen. They showed angry faces and began to scold him.
The cultivators behind the Lei Family Grandmaster also did not show weakness and spoke harshly to each other.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and was about to say something.
"Report!"
A military cultivator hurried in: "Sorry, Major, there are five ranger teams leaving the city privately. It is said that they are running to rescue the one hundred prisoners who escaped from trouble."
Li Yu's expression changed slightly: "Five teams? A whole hundred people? What a nonsense!"
The Lei Family Grandmaster sneered and shook his head: "It's just to die."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to create a chanting seal, and a water mirror appeared out of thin air in front of him.
The scene in the water mirror when more than a hundred spirit warriors left the fortress not long ago appeared.
"Um?"
"It's her!"
Li Yu and the Lei Family Grandmaster's eyes fell on the girl riding the "Snow Crane" at the same time, and then looked at each other with different expressions.
After a while, the Grandmaster of the Lei family sneered: "Speaking of background, I forgot. There is indeed someone in this fortress whose background is as good as Mr. Li's. Unfortunately, her cousin seems to have forgotten her a long time ago."
Li Yu didn't speak, his expression changed.
"Haha, since she is involved, Mr. Li should make his own decision. Farewell."
The grandmaster of the Lei family stood up with a smile and walked out leisurely.
Li Yu's voice sounded from behind, "Why did Grandmaster Xia leave so quickly? Could it be because he recalled the live broadcast experience that shocked the world two and a half years ago? Don't worry, since he said that the Immortal Organization will no longer interfere in world affairs,
Then I will never break my promise.”
The Grandmaster of the Lei family froze, snorted coldly, and walked away with his sleeves waving.
Li Yu looked at Grandmaster Xia's back, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and then became complicated.
Zhou Yue, who is also a member of the Immortal Organization, was defeated by his subordinates. He was defeated in a secret fight as the chief assistant of the Capital College, and Grandmaster Xia was in the live broadcast of the battle to cultivators around the world.
Zhou Yue's palm smashed the shirts of all the Lei family Lingyu, including him, leaving them naked, losing face, and extremely humiliating.
Li Yu didn't feel happy at all.
The Lei family suffered a great humiliation by losing to Zhou Yue, but in the two and a half years they forced the Immortal Organization to leave, they received rich rewards.
After they annexed the Lei Neng Group, they developed a new generation of undead familiars that were not only stronger and more powerful, but also easy to synthesize and capable of mass production.
This eliminates the need for them to participate in the battle for resources. Instead, they use their own advantages to adopt a huddle strategy, defend the ground fortress, and refuse to support the rest of the federal ground fortresses.
When the federal spiritual guards lost their troops in offensive and defensive battles one after another, the Lei family suddenly stood up and expressed their willingness to support the ground fortress defended by the federal parliament, the military and the Relic Academy.
The prerequisite is that cultivators from the Lei family must be stationed in the city administration hall.
In other words, it means handing over part of the say in the ground fortress.
The Lei family did not hide its wolfish ambitions at all, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it clearly.
However, as the alien monsters' offensive became more and more fierce, they changed the previous confrontation situation and frantically attacked various ground fortresses, and the situation suddenly became tense.
Take the Nanjiang Fortress as an example. Every two or three days, the sub-monsters in the wilderness will launch an attack, plundering like fire, day and night.
The former chief guard officer was seriously injured and was sent back to the Sky City to recuperate, so that he could temporarily take over the garrison power of Nanjiang Fortress.
But after he lost his arm, his cultivation level dropped drastically, and he had no hope of further progress in this life. He was already disheartened from cultivating a path, and he only wanted to defeat the alien plane and take revenge.
He didn't mind being decentralized, but he was simply defensive and disgusted with the Lei family's ulterior motives.
"The sub-monsters launched a fierce attack, and the Lei family suddenly proposed negotiations... They cooperated really well."
Li Yu murmured in a low voice.
The guard behind him snorted coldly: "Perhaps the Lei family's gods and demons sect has resurrected and started colluding secretly a long time ago."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Li Yu interrupted: "Although the Lei family is disgusting, they also kill many sub-monsters in the extraordinary realm. If they want to help the alien plane invade the earth, they have too many opportunities before. Just be afraid, they are waiting
Just reap the benefits of being a fisherman."
At this moment, a flash of light flashed beside him, and then a middle-aged man in black robe walked out.
When the guards saw the middle-aged man, they quickly saluted.
The middle-aged man cupped his hands to Li Yu and said, "Son, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my mission and found it."
Li Yu looked at his father's former personal guard, his eyes flashed: "Uncle Hong is here to help."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "Just as the young master guessed, the origins of the Zhumu bird that Gu Ruoxi signed, including the golden-winged snake next to him, are not simple."
"I knew..." Li Yu took a deep breath, and then asked nervously: "So, what is their origin?"
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed slightly: "I found a female classmate of his in high school in a pet food store in Nanjiang Bastion City. According to the female classmate, Zhou Yue's family once opened a pet food store in Nanhe City.
The foster care shop is used to hide people's eyes, but the business is very average, and there are not many foster pets, so the female classmate clearly remembers that in Zhou Yue's last semester of high school, the store only had three juvenile pets. "
Hearing this, Li Yu's heartstrings suddenly tightened: "Those three pets...are they?"
"A black cat, a Zhumu bird, and a golden-winged snake." The middle-aged man said.
"really……"
Li Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, but clenched his fists suddenly, with deep excitement and joy in his eyes: "In other words, Gu Ruoxi's Zhumu bird evolved into the 'Snow Crane', and the golden one who awakened his fighting talent
The winged snakes were all raised by Zhou Yue himself! I knew that she was his only cousin, how could he just leave it alone!"
The middle-aged man hesitated to speak.
But something suddenly occurred to Li Yu, and he frowned and asked, "That's not right. Zhou Yue's family situation must be so easy to find out. The top management already knew about it. How did the pet ration shop owner know?"
The middle-aged man hesitated and said: "Actually, his female classmate only worked in a pet food store, but many years ago, her family was from the upper class of the above-ground city, and there were countless rich people in the city. Her relationship with Zhou Yue
It was pretty good at first, but unfortunately it went astray later.”
"Detour?"
"He actually coveted Zhou Yue's spiritual companion, the extraordinary swordsman master. In the end, his mood broke and his future was ruined."
"It seems that Uncle Hong often spied on and stole the memory of that 'female classmate'. Are there any other interesting stories about Zhou Yue's past?"
"There are not many interesting things. The only thing is that he and his two master parents who live in seclusion on the ground are so good at acting that they actually hid it from the neighbors for fifteen years."
Li Yu looked at Uncle Hong who was full of emotion and couldn't help but shake his head, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
Born in a famous family and known as the genius, now he has placed all his hopes on that man, hoping that he has not really left, and looking forward to him re-entering the world with that mysterious power.
Are there many people in the entire federation and even on the earth plane who have the same fantasy as me?
"Master, where is Gu Ruoxi?" the guard behind him asked in a low voice.
Li Yu's eyes flickered and he struggled for a long time. After a while, he breathed out softly: "We still can't take risks. Send an order to select the most elite ranger group and go to meet us!"
…
One day later.
Five ranger teams stopped in front of a ruins.
The entire team, which originally had a total of one hundred people, now only had more than seventy people left.
Half of the remaining twenty or so spirit guards were injured in the encounter that day, and the other half were responsible for escorting them back to the fortress.
This is also one of the rules of the Ranger Group and even the entire Spirit Control World - seriously injured people stay away from the battlefield.
Today, when the number of Spirit Guards is becoming increasingly scarce, both genuine Spirit Guards and temporary Spirit Guards are very precious. This is one of the reasons why the five team captains decided to rush to rescue this group of escapees.
At this time, the large area of ruins more than 500 meters away directly in front of them was the temporary stronghold of the group of escapees shown on the map.
Five team captains and several veteran rangers gathered together, looking solemn.
"It's strange. I sent the password three times and still no one responded."
"Yes, I can't sense their thoughts either."
"Isn't it time to move the location?"
"It feels very wrong. Captain Joan, what do you think?"
All eyes turned to Qiong Haiqing. She was also the captain of Gu Ruoxi's team. Among the five teams, her team performed the best and still maintained a full-staff structure.
Qiong Haiqing looked away from Gu Ruoxi, who was leaning against the tree with her eyes closed, just like most of the rangers. She pondered for a moment and whispered: "Now that things have come to this, we can only return to the fortress."
The other four team captains exchanged looks and nodded.
Gu Ruoxi opened her eyes and looked into the distance without saying anything.
Suddenly, from the southwest of the vast dense forest, there was a clear whistle, somewhat like the whistle of an eagle.
Suddenly, in the huge dense forest and the surrounding wilderness with a radius of hundreds of miles, there were waves of uneasy roars and footsteps, all over the mountains and fields, everywhere.
Sensing the nervousness of their companions, the rangers looked solemn. Those sounds obviously came from the sub-monsters lurking in the wilderness.
The reason why they were able to come here at a relatively low cost was that, firstly, they came quickly under the cover of night, and secondly, they avoided most of the sub-monsters in the wilderness through various stealth and concealment methods.
The Ranger Group knew very well that as long as one percent of the sub-monsters in this wilderness discovered their whereabouts, they would be completely wiped out and die without a burial place.
"Back off."
"retreat."
"Um."
With a regretful mood, all the rangers controlled their spiritual pets, changed direction, and were about to return to Nanjiang Fortress.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
The usually obedient Zhumu bird on Gu Ruoxi's shoulder suddenly flapped its wings impatiently and pecked its beak toward the southwest where the eagle screamed.
At the same time, the golden-winged snake coiled around Guan Ningying's neck curled up uneasily, and like the Zhumu bird, its head kept arching toward the southwest.
"Ashe, what's wrong with you?"
Guan Ningying stretched out her hand to comfort her spiritual companion.
But the golden-winged snake that liked to be touched by him before was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic today. It ignored Guan Ningying at all and just kept spitting snake messages in the southwest direction, its eyes shining with excitement and excitement.
…
"Ashe, did you feel it too?"
"Nonsense! How can this snake's induction be inferior to yours? That's the breath of the cook and the cat!"
"Ahhh, I'm so excited! We haven't seen each other for so many years, and I don't know if the cook and the cat will be surprised when they see how evolved we are now!"
"Yeah, I'm so excited just thinking about it! I really miss the days when I was taught the way of evolution by Master Cat and secretly drank the essence under Master Cat's leadership!"
…
In the dense forest, complicated and dissatisfied eyes were cast on the golden-winged snake and the Zhumu bird.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"Yeah, don't be exposed."
"Let them be quiet now! If they attract an army of sub-monsters, it will be over!"
Guan Ningying was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
Gu Ruoxi remained calm. While gently stroking the feathers of the Zhumu bird, she raised her head and looked into the distance to the southwest with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Qiong Haiqing came closer and asked in a low voice: "Ruoxi, what's going on?"
Gu Ruoxi shook her head slightly: "I don't know, but judging from Yuyou's intention, it seems that she wants us to go there."
Qiong Haiqing's eyes flickered, there was worry deep in his eyes, and there was also an indescribable palpitating.
After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind, and turned to the four team captains and said: "You must have witnessed the spirit of the snow crane, and it must have discovered something. Should you continue to move forward with our team, or retreat, please."
Make up your own mind."
After the words fell, not only the captains of the other four teams were shocked, but the members of Qiong Haiqing's own team were also surprised.
Gu Ruoxi looked deeply at Qiong Haiqing, then lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
"How can this be done!"
"Yes, there are riots in the wilderness and animals are out and about. This is the most dangerous time!"
"Qiong Haiqing! Gu Ruoxi! Are you all crazy?"
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
At this moment, an eagle roar came again from the southwest of the dense forest!
It comes from the same miraculous spiritual eagle, but this time there is an extra sense of dominance in the roar of the eagle that dominates the world and stands alone on the top of the sky.
The howl echoed around the countryside, carrying a strong sense of warning.
Everything is silent.
The roars and footsteps of the Asian monsters in the wilderness disappeared in an instant, and a dignified and tense atmosphere rose from every corner of the wilderness.
This eagle roar actually awed the sub-monsters within a hundred miles radius!
Qiong Haiqing and Gu Ruoxi didn't say anything, but in tacit agreement, they took their respective spiritual companions, one behind the other, to the southwest.
Ma Jizu and Guan Ningying looked at each other and then followed suit.
They all knew what these two female spirit master companions had been pursuing over the years, and they themselves were following that person's footsteps.
The remaining rangers looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Half a minute later, the ranger group of more than 70 people gathered together again.
Under the leadership of "Snow Crane Guard" Gu Ruoxi, we headed southwest of the dense forest.
