The first thousand two hundred and four chapters highest combat readiness
It was winter, and when we entered the ruins, we were greeted by an autumn scene.
Re-entering the land in the high-altitude ruins, a familiar feeling came over me.
The figure did not appear in the prison, neither Sandru nor Caitlin.
The wilderness was empty except for withered yellow trees. The occasional wind and waves blew leaves and dead grass and fell to the ground.
"It's because Sandru didn't use the ability to pull the sacred stone millstone, or he just ignored me."
The body was illuminated by the star axis, and there was a hint of aura from the ruins. Sandro may not have noticed it.
Xu Zhigang thought this and then remembered that Gu Yuxi was dragged to the prison last time. It was probably not because of his aura.
Leaving only emergency weapons and props behind, Xu Zhi quickly removed his belongings.
In the body's induction, Gu Yuxi is not too far away from each other. With the induction effect of twin lotuses with yin and yang, the two of them will get together quickly.
A crystal ball appeared in his hand, Xu Zhi concentrated slightly, and continued to pour magic into it.
The pursuit-type crystal ball originated from Widnina, as long as the amount of magic is enough, it can detect the person whose breath is collected.
The figures on the crystal ball flickered for a while, and Shang Qianqiu's figure just appeared, and the king of kings appeared on the surface of the ball again.
There was no prison around the two of them, and there was no army from Adini City. Xu Zhi's heart suddenly dropped.
Seeing that nearly half of his mana had been consumed and he had explored the surrounding area for nearly a hundred kilometers, but Yan Jinbai had not yet appeared on the crystal ball, Xu Zhi had no choice but to put down the pursuit-type crystal ball in frustration.
It's hard to say about other ruins. In this ruins, he only needs to find the star axis, and then he can detect the general situation through the astrologer Rost's positioning crystal ball. If he tries a few more times, there is always a certain chance that he can see Yan Jin.
Cypress.
Or maybe wait for the magic value to recover and use Vidnina's crystal ball again.
With his mind settled, he looked at the figures of Shang Qianqiu and the King of Kings who were chasing after him on the crystal ball, and felt the aura of Gu Yuxi slowly approaching, and the pathfinding skills were instantly applied to his body.
Xu Zhi started running with light steps.
The four people gathered together three hours later.
"Shang Qianqiu, you are really good at drilling. We are chasing you from behind, and you are running hard in front. Your sense of direction is really hard to describe."
Xu Zhi was unable to complain about this situation. This kind of chasing made his legs very tired. If Shang Qianqiu hadn't been carrying more weight, it would have taken him some time to catch up.
"Xu Zhi, there is a bird, a big bird."
"Speak more clearly."
Taking a long breath, Xu Zhi suppressed the surge of blood in his heart. Compared to him, Shang Qianqiu ran even worse. He was panting and couldn't speak clearly.
"I saw that big bird with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, flying over there."
Shang Qianqiu pointed to the etiquette ring on his hand, and Xu Zhi immediately understood what he meant.
This little girl is quite good at finding rides. He only planned to find a yellow gelding to travel with him. Unexpectedly, Shang Qianqiu directly decided on a griffin.
Xu Zhi has not tried whether the Ring of Ceremony can temporarily tame griffons.
But it would be quite comfortable to have an aerial mount in such a ruins, and the speed of climbing over mountains and ridges would be quite fast.
"Let's go take a look. It's best to find a piece of territory to confirm..."
"Beep~ho~"
Xu Zhi was just arranging what he had to do when he suddenly heard a strange chirping of birds in the sky.
"Oops, it flew back."
It is huge in size, with an eagle-like head, its forelimbs are covered with golden feathers, and its lion-like hind body is covered with yellow-brown fur. It has the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. This is the gryphon.
The gryphons high in the sky flapped their wings and made low bird calls from time to time, seeming a little anxious.
The sharp eagle eyes seemed to see the four people below. The griffin hovered in the air for a while before slowly landing.
"Big Bird, be my mount."
Shang Qianqiu raised the ceremonial ring on his hand. The little white dove on the ring shone a little, and he saw that the vigilance in the gryphon's eyes was gone.
Looking at the ceremonial ring in Shang Qianqiu's hand, the griffin shook its head, and a red envelope shook out from its feathers.
The gryphon nodded to everyone, took a few steps back, and flew into the air again with its wings spread.
"It seems useless. This ring can't tame the big bird."
Last time I didn't have a chance to tame a horse, this time I encountered a griffon. It seemed that I didn't know the correct way to open the ceremonial ring. Shang Qianqiu put the ring away in frustration.
"If you can't tame it, you should give me back my treasure."
Xu Zhi looked at Shang Qianqiu's skillful handling of the ring. He must have simply forgotten the owner of the ring.
"I'll keep it safe for you. It's tiring to have an extra ring."
"I'm not tired, just give me back."
Rolling his eyes at the little girl, Xu directly passed the red envelope handed over by the King of Kings.
With a hint of antiquity, the age of the envelope seems to have gone through a long period of time.
On the edge of the seal, a gryphon drawn with black pen appears on the paper. The handwriting is very new, as if it was painted not long ago.
A piece of letterhead came out of the envelope.
On the black lettering on the white paper, the red gryphon seal looks particularly eye-catching.
"Recruitment order: Highest combat readiness. All men over the age of ten and women over the age of twelve in Yinka Town are to enlist immediately and go to Adini City. They must arrive within three days and must not refuse the order."
"Signed: Adini City Headquarters."
Relying on the influence of the property panel, Xu Zhi reluctantly read the meaning of the text on the letterhead.
"Xu Zhi, you are so awesome, you can even understand this kind of crooked writing."
In order to keep the etiquette ring longer, Shang Qianqiu spared no effort to flatter him.
"Everything is based on blindness."
Xu Zhi hummed, it would be enough if he could understand about seven or eight points. If he couldn't understand it, he would take it to the dream world to read it.
"Are they preparing to deal with us?"
"The age for conscription is really low. You have to go to the army at the age of ten. This is to recruit Boy Scouts."
"What can a child do to consume our ammunition?"
The age of the conscripts in the ruins is obviously beyond everyone's imagination. This situation of men and women being drafted at the same time is not known to be a normal tradition of the survivors or a special case, which makes people feel a hint of the coming storm.
"If the town of Yinka is nearby, according to the direction of the map, we will fall roughly here."
Gu Yuxi took out the redrawn map and kept moving her fingers on the map, drawing a small circle around Yinka Town.
There is no distinction between north, south, east and west in the ruins, and it is extremely difficult to determine the current location of everyone. They need to rely on the terrain they have experienced before, or other obvious buildings to locate them.
Yinka Town is a town that no one has reached yet, sandwiched between Adini City and Boyuan City.
This kind of landing position is not considered good or bad, it is considered a neutral start.
"To find Yinka Town, we must at least get horses and try to avoid conflicts. Tonight we have to complete the star axis pulling," Xu Zhi said.
"I hope Jin Bai can figure out the direction and wait for us under a certain star axis in advance." Gu Yuxi looked at the crowd and said.
Without the influence of external forces, this is the best time period for them to accept the traction of the star axis.
Although the terrain of this ruins is not very large, there is only 48 hours left in the ruins. The time is very tight. In addition to the star axis pulling, Xu Zhi also has to go to Adini City to see if there is any chance to find Caitlin.
"Look, there is a small town over there, and there are many figures wandering around in it."
"They seemed to be dancing and swaying. They might be holding some kind of festival."
"How about holding a festival when the military conscription is at its peak?"
Heading in the direction that the griffin had experienced before, the town was already vaguely visible. It was extremely difficult to see the figures inside with the naked eye. Xu Zhi took the telescope in Shang Qianqiu's hand with confusion.
His eyesight is far better than that of Shang Qianqiu. Through the telescope, he can even see the general expressions on the faces of people in the town.
In and around the town, hundreds of people were staggering around like drunken drunkards.
These people had no direction at all when walking, and there was no expression on their faces. They were extremely numb, and there was no sense of joy at all.
Just as he was about to change the person he was looking at, he saw the person in his eyes frown, and one of his eyeballs suddenly fell out.
