"There are too many uncertainties, and this time, I'm mainly doing it for personal reasons." Allen shook his head. "This is my business. I don't want to take the risk with you."
Lucy said, "But if you trick us back like this, everyone will be unhappy. After all, we're friends, aren't we? "
Hearing what she said, Allen could only nod and say, "Let's go out first and find a place to rest before talking in detail."
This time, the girl had no objections.
It wasn't difficult to get out. Allen threw Qianjun to Broy, took the devil's praise, dug a climbing hole between the mountain walls, and climbed all the way up. Finally, he fixed his position with a dagger and hung down Long Suo, allowing the three of them to climb up one after another and retreat along the original passageway.
Outside, the storm was in full swing, and night had fallen. The world was pitch black, and the outline of anything could not be seen at all. Allen and the others walked along a fjord, braving the wind and snow, and finally found a leeward cave. Broy found a few boulders nearby to block the entrance of the cave, while Allen lit a fire with a marching stove in the cave. The four of them formed a circle and used the fire to warm themselves up and rest.
After eating some compressed food, Allen told him the truth about what he had heard in the ice cave. Broy didn't say a word, and Welik said in a low voice, "Boss, you're going too far. If we didn't know each other before, then after experiencing so much and going through life and death many times, I thought we were already brothers. "
"I just treat you as brothers, so I don't want you to take the risk with me. This time, I don't even know where the Sacred Site is. It's just that the teacher's notes mentioned that that place might be the origin of the Saber Demon's civilization. Plus, I have some personal matters to attend to. Speaking of which, I have to tell you something else. " Allen took out the devil's praise and with a thought, the dagger turned into a dagger, displaying the first stage of awakening.
"Previously, Major Luda wanted me to hand over the Origin Tool. He was talking about this one. It's called the Devil's Praise. Now it's its awakening form, the Blood Hymn. Its ability is to activate the blood in the opponent's body and form a blood blade from the inside to tear apart the internal organs and body. And this was only its first stage posture. I guess it has a higher stage posture. In other words, it can constantly break through and evolve like a creature. "Allen said," The important thing is that when we were at the Saber Demon Station in the Alex Plains. I used it to kill the enemy's Thousand Commander, and a Saber Demon beside me once shouted the name of the Blade of Calamity. I think that Saber Demon should have seen the relevant records about the Devil's Praise.
"Because when I was testing the Fire Fighting Technique, I got a stone chip from a Blade Demon Tribe. From the looks of it, there are some patterns drawn on it that seem to be related to the devil's praise. "
Welik's eyes widened. "You mean, this dagger should have appeared on Nether Domain Star a long time ago? "God, I," he said, "I saying.
"My father gave it to my mother, and my mother gave it to me. There were too many things involved, and the more I learned, the more I felt that there was a great secret behind all this. Now you can see that this secret no longer exists only on Earth. It even crosses the Star Domain. There are also some clues on Nether Domain Star. "Allen sighed," The greater the secret, the greater the danger. That's the main reason I don't want you to go with me. In the end, it's just my business. And we need someone to bring the information back to the Thunder and Fire Base. We can't let Colonel Gao Lei think I've disappeared out of thin air. "
"Let Miss Lucy bring the message back. The two of us will accompany you." Broy suddenly said.
Lucy looked up and said, "No, let William deliver the letter. I'm going with him. If the Sacred Site is really the origin of the Saber Demon's civilization, then that place should probably be the remains of some ancient civilization. I happen to have an ancient civilization in my curriculum, unless the two of you think you're better than me in this area. "
"You're almost an encyclopedia." Allen looked at her in surprise.
Lucy said proudly, "Nothing much. We are far more advanced than you humans in terms of knowledge transmission methods. Otherwise, do you think our Adahua Planet can fight against the entire Yordon Domain? Your Federation's interstellar defense line is less than a tenth of ours! "
"Alright, Miss Archaeologist …" Allen looked at William.
William jumped up and shouted, "Don't look at me, I won't do it. How can I be absent from such a wonderful thing? I might even be able to fish out some valuable treasures if I have the chance to explore the origin of the Saber Demon. I won't do that boring job of delivering the letter even if I'm beaten to death. "
"Looks like I can only deliver the letter. The three of you will take the risk." Allen said unhappily.
Lucy suddenly stood up and snapped her fingers. "Yes, I remember there was a reconnaissance team not far from the Cold Wind Gorge. We can entrust them to pass the message to the base. That won't solve the problem. "
"Let's do that." Welik clapped his hands.
Broy also slapped his leg and said, "I'll go hunt a few dangerous plants tomorrow and make dry rations. It seems like we won't be able to reach the place we're going in a day or two. Supplies will be a problem."
Allen shook his head and looked at them. He felt a little helpless, but he was moved by their sincere emotions. He had decided to prioritize everyone's lives. If there was any danger, he would immediately give up this adventure, even if the answer was close at hand!
The next day, the blizzard stopped, and the ground was covered in a thick layer of silver frost. Allen and the others had indeed fought another group of people near the Cold Wind Gorge, so they asked them to send the news back. Allen concealed the devil's praise and only said that it was related to the Sacred Site and that it was possible to get rid of the Blade Demon race once and for all. The other officers of Thunder and Fire didn't dare to stop them, so they could only agree.
When Allen returned to the Cold Wind Gorge, Lucy was waiting for him at the rendezvous point. However, they didn't see William and Bloy. Originally, they discovered that the Saber Demon bandits had begun to move. The two of them caught up and stared closely at them, asking Lucy to wait for Allen to return before following up.
Since the two of them had already left for a period of time, Allen and Lucy did not stay any longer and chased after the marks left behind by the two of them. After leaving the Cold Wind Gorge, they headed north along the foot of the Winter Sunset Mountain Range. The temperature gradually dropped. At night, the four of them met in a cave on the north side of the mountain range. The two of them had already set up a fire. Broy had already skinned the beast and taken its bones. Then, he cut it into pieces and put it on a branch to roast on the fire. Allen and the others arrived just in time for dinner. Broy carefully washed the wolf skin with snow water to remove the dirt, dried it with fire and gave it to Lucy. She could wear it on her body to keep out the cold.
"How's the situation?" Allen sat on the fire and blew the wind all afternoon. The muscles on his face were a little numb. He roasted the fire and took a skewer from Broy.
Welik had already eaten and burped, "It's going well. They don't know we're watching them. Right now, they're resting in a cave half a kilometer ahead of us. I'll keep an eye on them later. "
Broy said, "I'll change you in the middle of the night."
So the two of them set a time.
"After crossing the Winter Sunset Mountain Range, we'll continue north to the Ice Demon Valley. From the Ice Demon Valley, we'll pass through the Abyss of the Falling Stars, where there's an abandoned Saber Demon Sentry Station. After that, it's the Barren Lands. " Allen said, "I've seen some maps in the base, but the Thunder and Fire Base doesn't have any detailed information about the Barren Lands. I only know that it's an endless snowfield with few people. Even the Saber Demons probably don't have any tribes that will take root in that cold place, so even the sentry post has been removed. "
"Looks like those Saber Demon bandits plan to make a move in the Barren Lands. I'm curious how they got the route of the sacrificial team." Welik picked his teeth with a sharpened branch.
Allen ate some kebabs, and his body temperature rose. His hands and feet were no longer as numb as before. Hearing this, he said, "The Saber Demon has never been a united race. The order can only affect them for a while." The defeat of the ten tribes on the Alex Plains had a huge impact on their reputation. It wasn't surprising that the other tribes didn't sell their accounts at first, but those bandits dared to attack the ten tribes, especially the attention of the sacrificial team. "But in my opinion, it's definitely not that simple. These fellows probably have spies in the sacrificial team, or even a big shot in the ten tribes. Otherwise, how could the news be leaked so easily? "
"One more thing, the distance between the Cold Crown Glacier and the Barren Lands is limited. Moreover, they have already drawn up various countermeasures after the robbery. This means that they didn't enter the Wind Gorge unintentionally before winter, but intentionally. If there really is a big shot from the other ten Saber Demons presiding over this, then this is a premeditated operation against the King of Saber Demons. "Lucy analyzed.
This was not impossible. After all, once the sacrificial team made a mistake, the prestige of the Saber Demon King would naturally be affected. If there was a disadvantageous situation in the battle against the Federation Army, it wasn't hard to imagine that someone would take the opportunity to blame him. Therefore, this chain of events might be related to a power struggle.
"No matter what, our goal is the Sacred Site. If the situation permits, we can take another look at the secrets. As for the internal struggle of the Saber Demon, we don't need to pay any attention to it. "Allen said.
When Broy returned in the morning, the Saber Demon Bandits began to move. Allen and the others also packed up their luggage and followed far behind them. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to reach the Ice Demon Valley this evening. After passing the Abyss of the Falling Stars tomorrow morning, it would be the location of the Barren Lands. The internal strife of the Saber Demons caused the route of the sacrificial team to be leaked, giving Allen a chance to approach the Sacred Site. If he missed this time, he would have to wait another ten years. Allen naturally wouldn't stay on Nether Domain Star for so long. Therefore, he still had some expectations for this operation. Today, the team began to advance into the Winter Sunset Mountain Range. Allen and the other three men took turns to monitor the Saber Demons from time to time to confirm the path of the Saber Demons.
At noon, when they passed by a col, the two of them had already drilled in first. Allen stopped and Allen looked up with a frown. The mountain walls on both sides rose up and gradually closed above, forming the shape of a line of sky.
"What's wrong?" Lucy also felt that something was wrong with him, so she asked.
"Look at this place," Allen said. "If we go halfway. The Saber Demon cuts off the path from the front and back and then throws gravel from above. The space here is limited. Even if we don't die, we will still be seriously injured. "
"What do you mean?"
"They've noticed us." Allen smiled bitterly.
