Receiving the orders from the military, Wen Qubing opened up a map in his study, looked at the words written on it, and fell into deep thought.
The map that was unfolded out was the latest version that Wen Xihong had spent a huge amount of money on, and was bribed by the military to buy. It was a military secret, and the information was definitely enough, only that it was not detailed enough. Wen Xihong suggested to buy another copy from Duckweed House, but was rejected by Wen Qubing due to the lack of complementarities.
Xiang Xue scoffed, "Don't worry, we really need the latest information from the northwest, but the map is meaningless. The map from Duckweed House was drawn and sold by this guy."
"Huh?"
Loong Yun'er looked at Wen Qubing in surprise, "You … Have you been to the northwest? "
Wen Qubing stared at the map, holding onto the red brush, he continued to draw and add words on the map.
"In the past, when we were at war, I went there to stay for a period of time …"
The already complicated map quickly became densely packed. Many branches, paths, and detailed names were added on it. Even some sand dunes were marked as subterranean water sources. This … They were no longer just normal acquaintances.
"At the start, it was us who were chased by the Demonic Beast, and as if we were being chased for debt, we fled in defeat. There were many times where we almost lost our lives. "Yeah, those days in the desert when they either drank blood or peed, they don't really want to remember …"
"Don't listen to him. It's a good thing that he said it was nothing."
Xiang Xue said to Loong Yun'er: That time he used her body as bait and lured 10,000 Demonic Beast to her target's position. Originally, it was not that dangerous, but this guy insisted on not sacrificing anyone.
With just a few words, it caused endless ripples in Loong Yun'er's heart. She could only think back to when Shan Luling was peerlessly brave and carried the most dangerous bait job, being chased by tidely-like Demonic Beast s and risked his life in the desert, yet she insisted on protecting everyone under her command …
The silent Giant Man was speechless and had never boasted about himself, but his actions were much more heroic and heroic than the heroes of today's world …
She was able to stand by his side and support him, as if she was contaminated by his glory. Her body and mind grew larger, even though … Right now, he didn't look like a hero at all …
"Moon Flare Beach... "It's located in a beach between the Crescent Moon and Dunhuang. It's barren and without water, and there's no way to construct it. Even if we build it, we won't be able to defend it …"
Wen Qubing's gaze left the map, and he said: "The most important thing is that although this place is within the borders of the empire, it is extremely close to the Beasts, especially the boundaries of the Werewolf Clan, it is fine if there is no war. Once a war begins, there is no danger within a hundred mile radius. I remember that the Northwest is no longer just a matter of conflict and friction. The war has officially begun. "
Loong Yun'er nodded his head, "There is indeed something strange, according to what you said, Moon Flare Beach have already been occupied by the Beasts, why would we send things to the enemy? Even if it was delivering food, it should be sent to the Yungaang Pass, or the Flying-cloud Oasis at the front, at that point … "Also, the military doesn't want us to send food. What's in the iron box?"
"No matter what it is, something unexpected has happened, but …"
Wen Qubing looked at Xiang Xue, and they both knew the meaning within, the mission's risk was much higher, seemingly becoming more dangerous, but Moon Flare Beach was just a thin line from the Werewolf Clan, and from there to the Wolf King Temple, it was a shortcut, to the east where it was lost, to the north where it was hidden, and to better cover up the real purpose.
Xiang Xue shook his head: "I can't be too careless, even though you went ahead and spent all the money, but it did not have any effect and you were even scammed, if it was not especially bad, or you were obstructed by people, if I did not find the enemy, I am afraid that I would be worried for you."
"We must investigate, but with our current strength, this matter involves the military and the imperial government. It's very difficult to find anything …" The intelligence network is not our forte. "
Wen Qubing said: "There's no way to stop it now, time is not allowed. We should just go the other way and take the initiative to attack, if we have to move quickly, so that the scouts are unable to react, and use their images to create a weak point for us."
, Wen Qingwei, and the rest who were waiting for the Patriarch to come out, were all gathered in the hall, waiting for the Patriarch to come out to discuss the matter. They did not expect that they would actually wait for Wen Qubing's order.
The orders issued by the military were originally confidential, but this time, they were randomly spread throughout the various intelligence channels. Not even a day had passed, and the entire empire had received the news that the Wen Family was transporting their troops to the Moon King City. When the various powers were curious about this and paid attention to the movements of the Wen Family, they found out that the Wen Family was split into four teams, and they had already set off for the Northwest Road.
Wen Xihong, Wen Qingwei, and even the Wen Mansion's Old Housekeeper who had not left their Port City for many years, had all started leading a group of people. Their intentions were clear, and when everyone started to pay attention to the High Rank that had just appeared, they started to investigate her whereabouts, and discovered that she was also leading a group of people to the northwest as well.
From the looks of it, it seemed that Patriarch Wen Qubing had personally accompanied him. For a moment, every county and power in the empire were guessing, which team exactly was Wen Qubing in? They were guessing which team Wen Qubing was in. Just how important was the transport of the military to the northwest?
But some of the older martial artists were not confused by the appearance, they were directly certain that Wen Qubing was definitely not one of the four squads, but was traveling alone, avoiding the gazes of everyone. Or maybe he was still in Wen Mansion, after all, the mission of transportation was completed, and his own participation was not a necessity, so all of these arrangements were just smoke.
"..." What a joke, this is a dictatorship, the military's mission is to exterminate the entire family.
As he waved his fan, Wen Qubing said: "This kind of little trick can no longer fool people, but it can still be used to gain some time."
Xiang Xue laughed coldly: "That's also because you hid your strength well enough. Otherwise, as long as we know your background and your habits, we would first look at the size of those two carriages and palanquins, and we would immediately know that you would only be on this boat."
"..." Do I have a choice? "Before you finish a bunch of work, you have to study things instead. If you don't go where you should go, what do you do with these things?"
Standing in front of the work table, Wen Qubing had a face full of stubble. After boarding the ship, he had not closed his eyes for five to six days already.
Whether it was the construction of his own armor, the optimization of other items, or even the repair of the Immeasurable Heaven-Revolving Tower, all of these could only be borne by him alone. Xiang Xue's role in this was limited.
Wen Qubing reminisced back in the days, when he was in the Fragmentary Star Group, he had a few private cars. Not only were they abnormally huge, they were extremely sturdy, like an armored chariot, which outsiders thought was Shan Luling's huge body, so big that it made the car look like their own independent studio.
He wanted to imagine how tyrannical and unrivalled the First War God would be, ripping apart demons and laying the foundations of victory for Homo Clan. But he never would have thought that inside the iron armor chariot, a ten-year-old kid would be busy researching, unable to handle everything, because many a times, the things he had developed truly concerned the survival of Homo Clan …
"Then... "That …"
Sorry to break the conversation between the two, Loong Yun'er raised her hand and said: "I'm here, is there really no problem? I mean... I'm not in my team, can I? "
Xiang Xue asked: What's the problem? However, it's not entirely true. Just find someone and do it, and you'll be safe. The people below are not familiar with you anyway, so what do you want me to do? "
"..." I keep feeling like I don't even exist. "
Loong Yun'er self-deprecated a little, but she had a rough idea in her heart. After ascending to the High Rank, although she had stabilized her cultivation level with all her might, at the same time that her strength was rapidly increasing, some negative effects also appeared.
It was as if someone was whispering to him. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, the buzzing sounds were extremely attractive to his soul. As long as he couldn't control it, he would be in a daze.
After nightfall, the situation became even worse. Every time he fell asleep, he would have a dream. In the dream, he would be in a pitch-black darkness. He would not be able to see anything, but he would always feel … In the bottomless darkness opposite, something was peering at him and luring him inside.
He was almost completely helpless against it. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a sliver of reason and was wary of him, repeatedly telling him that the direction he was heading in was dangerous, it would be difficult for him to turn back once he took a step … Most likely, he had gone over long ago.
When he woke up from his dream, he was already frightened and covered in cold sweat, unable to calm down. This was also the reason why Elder Brother Wen had called him over earlier, following him on the road, keeping a close eye on him.
"..." Actually, what you are training in is the Diamond Body of the Universal Incantation. Compared to the version that is passed down in the Vajra Temple now, yours is much less concealing, and is even closer to the Incantation of Martial Arts. It's even more powerful.
Wen Qubing scratched his head and said, "But … Without the meditation training part, in terms of resisting external evils, inner demons and the like, it's even worse. It just so happens that the source of your Bloodline Power is a super demon god … It's very hard to do, right now you have reached the High Rank, with normal meditation technique, you can't suppress the corpse dragon and Devilish Intent, probably... You need to learn the Diazepam and the King Kong Seal in order to suppress them effectively. "
Loong Yun'er was startled, just by hearing the name, she knew that it must be the Vajra Temple's ultimate divine art, what virtue or ability did she have to be able to obtain the Vajra Temple's transmission method?
Just as they were about to speak, the ship swayed violently, causing the three of them to almost lose their footing. Following which, the entire ship exploded, and the entire ship sank swiftly …
